Chapter 26 Luoyang Mansion
(Today's third update.) Although I didn't get any state, I still worked hard to write three chapters, so brothers and sisters will take a look! Thank you for the collection!! )
**************
"Come on, General Zhang, this is the mansion that King Qin gave you!" Under the guidance of a small official, Zhang Yunwen, the Liu brothers and Ma Wangshan came to a residence.
This place is located in Luoyang Pingkangfang, the scale of the residence is not large, in Luoyang, a prosperous place in the world, can only be regarded as a medium mansion. Rao is like this, the mansion is still three in and three out, and the halls and courtyards are all available.
"My good man, I'm afraid that such a house will cost 500,000 taels of silver!" When Liu Wu saw this mansion, his eyes widened, and he unconsciously said,
"Hmph, 500,000 taels? At least 600,000 taels! Liu Yong also looked at the mansion blankly, and when he heard Liu Wu's words, he couldn't help but open his mouth and raise the bar.
"How do you know it's 600,000 and not 500,000? Have you ever bought a house like this? ”
"I know it if I haven't bought it! Besides, I'm your eldest brother, of course I'll say 100,000 more than you! ”
"What's so great about the eldest brother, but it's just that the horse came out half an hour before me!"
……
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Zhang Yunwen couldn't help but secretly have a headache, and hurriedly said: "Big brother and second brother, don't fight, let's go and have a look first!" ”
After speaking, when he entered the mansion first, the Liu brothers followed side by side, and Ma Wangshan entered last.
As soon as I entered the gate, I saw a row of girls about seventeen or eighteen years old standing in the courtyard, and when I saw Zhang Yunwen coming in, I said in unison: "The slave has seen the son!" ”
Zhang Yunwen was stunned for a moment, this, what's going on?
An old man behind the girl stepped forward: "Dare to ask the lord, but is it General Zhang Yunwen Zhang?" Seeing Zhang Yunwen nodded, the old man said again, "The old man's surname is Wang, his name is Qu, and he is the owner here." When His Royal Highness King Qin entered the city, he spent money to buy this mansion and said that he would reward it to a general named Zhang Yunwen. The old man waited here to see who this general was! Now that I see it, it's really a young man! ”
Zhang Yunwen pointed to those girls, and the old man smiled "hehe": "These women were originally from my house, and now I will go north to merge with the state, and these women will all be sent to the general!" ”
When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he hurriedly excused himself, saying that he was very young and didn't dare to accept it. Wang Qu said, "If you can't accept it, you can let your two brothers accept it!" ”
Zhang Yunwen was taken aback, how did this old man know that the two people behind him were my brothers, was he asking people to investigate me? Besides, what was the purpose of him sending my maidservant?
Wang Qu looked at his face and said, "Please rest assured that the old man has no other intentions!" ”
Zhang Yunwen's mind changed: "The elders give it, don't dare to resign." The kid took it cheekily! ”
Wang Qu smiled and stroked his long beard, bowed to Zhang Yunwen and the others, and then left the mansion.
"Third child, why did the old man send us a bunch of girls?" The Liu brothers asked.
"Don't worry about the two brothers, I have my own plans for this matter!" Zhang Yunwen didn't want the Liu brothers to think too much.
A few people took up residence in the mansion. Fortunately, nothing is bad inside, and people just live in it.
On the same day, Zhang Yunwen came to the Luoyang Palace, and at this moment, Li Shimin was living here.
"Oh, Yoon-moon is here! Sit on your own. It's been a busy few days. Not only to deal with the affairs near Luoyang, but also to send Wenchen military generals to receive the generals from Dou Jiande's side, there are too many things! Well, by the way, did you see your mansion? How does it feel? Li Shimin lowered his head and wrote and painted on a notebook, while raising his head from time to time to talk to Zhang Yunwen.
Zhang Yunwen saw that Li Shimin was busy, so to make a long story short, he talked about what happened in the mansion.
Li Shimin stopped his pen: "Wang Qu of Bingzhou, that old man must be from the Wang family of Bingzhou." But how could the Wang family find you! Forget it, don't think about anything else. If you don't want those handmaids, give them to others, and I'll give you some! ”
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhang Yunwen: "The Lin Ran I told you at the beginning has arrived in Luoyang, you go to the Zuiyun Tower in Luoyang City to see him!" ”
Zhang Yunwen suddenly remembered that when he was in the Tiger Prison, among the intelligence officers handed over to him by Li Shimin, this Lin Ran was the first.
"Drunken Cloud Tower?"
"Yes, the Zuiyun Towers all over Guanzhong and Henan are Lin Ran's industry! Over the years, I have supported his development behind the scenes, and he has also developed rapidly, and now the intelligence network has almost covered Chang'an and Luoyang. ”
Zhang Yunwen was suddenly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that this Lin Ran was still very powerful, this Drunken Cloud Tower was actually opened by him, and it supported the intelligence network of the entire Qin Palace.
"Okay, then the lower official will go to Zuiyun Tower to see this Lin Ran!"
"Well, Yunwen, you remember, putting the intelligence network of Zuiyun Building in charge for you is not for you to follow Xiao Gui, but for you to improve the intelligence network as soon as possible, so as to adapt to your reconnaissance battalion and become an intelligence agency that can extend its tentacles to the four seas!"
Zhang Yunwen's head was suddenly congested, and he bowed to the ground: "Wow!" ”
Luoyang Zuiyun Building is located in Andingfang, which is a famous restaurant in Luoyang City.
Zhang Yunwen stood outside the Zuiyun Tower, watching the constant flow of people coming and going. On the head, a gold lacquer plaque with the words "Zuiyun Building" written on it hangs outside. It is said that these three characters are the handwriting of Ouyang Xun, a calligrapher of the dynasty.
Stepping into the Zuiyun Building, I saw that the lobby was bustling, the voices were noisy, and drunk people could be seen slumped on and under the table everywhere. More than a dozen juniors shuttled back and forth, stopping around some high-minded drinkers from time to time, as if listening to the excitement.
Seeing Zhang Yunwen enter the door, a child greeted: "Ouch, this guest officer, please!" Look at you, it's the first time you've come to our Drunken Cloud Tower! I wonder if you want to drink in this lobby or upstairs? ”
When Zhang Yunwen heard this, he smiled slightly: "How is upstairs, and what about the lobby?" ”
The little second said: "Guest officer, you see, drinking in this lobby is just to be lively, and the wine is also worse." And upstairs, it is much cleaner to use a screen to divide it into a single room! ”
"Let's go upstairs, then!"
"Okay, this way, please!"
Walking up the stairs to the second floor, you will be greeted by a screen depicting a mountain stream. Bypassing the screen, you can see a row of screens neatly arranged, dividing the second floor into independent small rooms, and there is a noise from time to time, but compared to the lobby on the first floor, the sound is much quieter.
"Uh, do you have a third floor?"
Xiao Er's face smiled: "Well, guest officer, want to go up to the third floor?" That's not going to work, it's where the guests and my host live! ”
Zhang Yunwen nodded silently: "Okay, I'll drink here!" You go and call Lin Ran down, and say that someone from the palace is coming! ”
Xiao Er was stunned, and the smile on his face was suddenly put away: "Please wait for a while, the villain will immediately call my master!" ”
