Chapter 201: Settling Liu Yuanqi (II)
It is said that Liu Tao has also been in Luoyang for a while, but after deducting the palace, he is more familiar with the vegetable market, and then Cai Yan's house, at most the paper workshops outside the city are counted.
The result of the house is highlighted here, and he doesn't know how to find a house for his father now.
"How do you feel, you don't seem to be familiar with Luoyang?" After shopping for half an hour, Liu Yuanqi also found the clue, so he came forward to ask.
"I haven't left the barracks in normal times,......" Liu Tao was a little entangled, "It is said that the house that is going to be rented will hang a sign at the door...... Wait, there's one over there! ”
It is directly a large mansion facing the street, which seems to occupy a lot of area and looks very atmospheric.
"I can't afford to rent that kind of house." Liu Yuanqi shook his head, "It's too big to say, it's too wasteful for me to live alone." ”
In fact, if it is less than 300 yuan a year, Liu Tao doesn't think it's anything, after all, he really has money on hand.
"It's a big deal to go to the human market and buy a few maids and family members to come back." Liu Tao said casually, "Besides, it's only about ten minutes away from the palace, maybe I can come and live at that time." ”
"That'...... Ask in the past? Liu Yuanqi was stunned when he heard this, and he was really moved. Maybe when you reach the age of 40, you will start to want your children by your side, right?
Liu Tao didn't want to be so troublesome, so he simply went over to ask. I asked the homeowner about the family left, but the reality was to give them a crit.
This mansion, Guangluxun Liu Kuan's mansion, is Liu Tao's top boss, and it is also the mansion rewarded by His Majesty. Liu Kuan doesn't like this kind of luxurious house very much, so he wants to rent it out, but the price is not very friendly, a thousand yuan a year.
Liu Tao couldn't help but suspect that this house was probably not the price set by Liu Kuan himself. After all, Cai Yan's side is only two hundred.
"Or ......" Liu Tao looked at Liu Yuanqi, who shook his head vigorously. Not to mention a thousand a year, when his family was in Zhuo County, his annual income was only a hundred. If you don't eat or drink for ten years, you can rent this place for a year, and you won't kill him!
"That's no problem, I'll have to find another place." What else can Liu Tao say, he can only continue to look for it.
In the end, the two chatted while looking for the house they were renting, and they couldn't help but talk about Liu Bei. Liu Tao thought that he would always follow Liu Yan, but he didn't expect Gong Jing, the assassin of Qingzhou, to send someone to ask for help, so he brought a thousand soldiers and horses south to support.
It seems that later he accumulated merit and was awarded the title of Anxi County Lieutenant...... Liu Tao really wants to complain about this, this can be the same as history. Obviously, without Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, or even Jian Yong, Liu Bei's combat power should be greatly reduced.
"I haven't been in touch with you since?" Liu Tao asked casually.
"When I arrived, I wrote a letter asking if I wanted to go. I also sent back some belongings and said thank you for my continued care...... Later, I came over and wrote a letter to him before I came to tell him about my visit to Luoyang. Liu Yuanqi said.
"He, the county lieutenant, can he say it for a long time." Liu Tao sighed, "Your Majesty seems to have asked all states and counties to verify the officials who have been promoted because of their military exploits. Depending on the situation, it is necessary to remove some officials who have taken good deeds or lied about their military exploits. ”
"He's a real gun." Liu Yuanqi argued.
"But the person who assessed, whether that's what he said or not, it depends on whether Liu Bei knows or not." Liu Tao smiled, remembering that in history, it was not Zhang Fei who whipped the superintendent, but this clan brother.
Liu Yuanqi smashed it, smashed it, and really didn't know what to say. It can be seen that even if Liu Tao becomes a big official, it has reached the point where Liu Bei has to look up to him, but he is still full of hostility towards him.
"Huh?" A familiar voice came, "Deran? ”
Liu Tao was directly stunned when he heard it, his eyes looked over, and as expected, he happened to see Zhen Jiang looking at him at the door of Cai's mansion. After coming back to his senses, he looked left and right, only to realize that he had actually come to Cai's side.
Okay, what if you don't take Liu Yuan up? As a result, I looked at the house and walked here before I knew it...... It is said that it is subconscious, it is better to say that it is habitual, after all, there are only a few roads in Luoyang that I am familiar with.
Zhen Jiang was very happy to see Liu Tao, and was about to step forward, but saw a man beside him. So I couldn't help but stop and became a little restrained.
"She won't be ......" Liu Yuanqi seemed to realize something.
"Hmm...... is the child's marriage contract, Zhen Jiang, the eldest daughter of the Zhongshan Zhen family. Liu Tao stepped forward to introduce, paused, turned around, and introduced to Zhen Jiang, "This is my father." ”
Liu Yuanqi stepped forward to greet him, and he had to introduce himself. The latter didn't expect that it was actually his father-in-law in person, and he was in a panic.
is different from Cai Yan's dignified and steady, Zhen Jiang is still a little inadequate when he is old enough to behave in the world. The critical age is too young, and it should not be big, which is not conducive to childbirth.
Liu Yuanqi secretly commented on Zhen Jiang, in his opinion, Zhen Jiang is only suitable to be a flat wife. That is, Liu Tao sealed the Hou, so he was eligible to take a flat wife. Three wives and four concubines are not something you can ask for, and you can't give them if you don't have an identity.
Of course, now that the etiquette has collapsed, rich families also have three wives and four concubines, but they have no identity, and other wives and concubines are 'illegal' except for the main wife, and of course the children have no inheritance rights.
Many wealthy businessmen paid to buy the identity of this 'Guan Nei Hou', in fact, it is precisely for this problem. I was really forced to do nothing by the pillow wind of my concubine......
"Speaking of which...... Are there any homes for rent in the area? Liu Tao saw that the atmosphere was not very good, and hurriedly came forward to ask. Meow, why do you suddenly have a feeling of déjà vu.
"There are still empty rooms here in Cai's Mansion...... Why don't you ......" Zhen Jiang looked into the room, and saw that in the blind corner of Liu Yuanqi and Liu Tao's sight, Cai Yan shook his head vigorously.
When she rented out the house, she had already said that it could only be rented by women. Otherwise, if you get along with a man day and night, you don't know what to do outside.
"No, no, no, it's not convenient." Liu Yuanqi also shook his head when he heard this, "When you and Tao'er get married, it's okay to live together then, it's still too early." ”
Liu Fu and Liu Yuanqi of Zhuo County also cherish their feathers very much.
"There is a family renting out ...... not far away" Cai Yan was worried that Zhen Jiang would not be able to cope with it, so he took the initiative to come forward, "If you don't dislike it, the little girl will take the two of you over to have a look?" ”
"Well said, well said!" Liu Tao naturally had no problem, and Liu Yuanqi also nodded.
Cai Yan, a 'local', came forward, and the matter of renting a house really went a lot smoother. Half an hour later, Liu Tao successfully rented a house at a price of 200 yuan a year, not far from Cai's mansion, and finally settled Liu Yuanqi.
