Chapter 64: Afternoon Time
Xuan Shijing frowned, it is the largest restaurant in Chang'an City, why is the sound insulation so poor.
Although he complained in his heart, he was helpless, the noise next door really attracted his attention, reclining on the couch, paying attention to the movement next door, and he heard Du He, Fang Yiai and the other two say in unison: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Prince? Li Chengqian?
"There's no need to be so polite outside." Li Chengqian's voice faintly reached Xuan Shijing's ears, and he didn't hear the movement next door before, presumably because the door was closed next door, and after Li Chengqian passed, the door was open.
However, Li Chengqian didn't stay in the palace well, and came to Xuanwu to hug him, which made Xuan Shijing more curious, so he concentrated on listening to the movement next door.
"Today, a few lonely generals are about to hug this Xuanwu, and there is nothing important, but I haven't seen you for a long time, and I just reminisce about the past." Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Don't stand, let's take a seat." ”
After a murmur of chairs rubbing against the ground, Xuan Shijing heard Li Chengqian's voice again.
"Du He and his bereaved love have accepted their father's marriage, and we are also a family." Li Chengqian said happily.
Du He and Fang Yiai one is Du Ruhui's son, the other is Fang Xuanling's second son, and now Du He has attacked Du Ruhui's title, but Du Ruhui's Lai Guogong has arrived at Du He, and has become the Duke of Xiangyang County, and there is also an official position of Shangcheng Fengyu on his head, the water of this official position is much more than the name of Xuan Shijing's Dali Temple Shaoqing, and it is estimated that it is also the grace given by His Majesty Li Er in Du Ruhui's face, but this biggest will must be to marry Princess Chengyang to Du He.
Xuan Shijing chuckled, how could he not be the same as Du He, relying on the merits of the previous generation to survive in this Chang'an.
As for the pair of Fang Yiai and Princess Gaoyang, in Xuan Shijing's eyes, they are simply a star couple, without it, what the two did was too sensational for people to ignore, one was a princess, fell in love with a monk, and the other was a concubine, and sent his wife to another man's bed.
Speaking of which, Xuan Shijing is still very sympathetic to Fang Zhi's love, although he has only one side with Princess Gaoyang, but through this short meeting, Princess Gaoyang can make Li Zhi so embarrassed It can be seen that this is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, although it has something to do with Li Zhi's cowardly temperament, but as far as Fang Zhi's love is concerned, it is not as good as Li Zhi, but Li Zhi is still the Gaozong of later generations.
Princess Gaoyang is a royal princess, marrying such a princess back, how can she be the same as the ancestors, if the husband and wife are in harmony, it would be better, but looking at Gao Yang and Fang Yiai, how can it not be related to the words "loving husband and wife".
The next conversation between Li Chengqian and the four people next door was nothing more than reminiscing about the past, and more to warn Du He and Fang Yiai to be better to their sisters.
Li Chengqian is still very qualified as a brother, although Gao Yang is not very likable, but he is still worried about his sister's happiness, but if Li Chengqian knows that Du He's front foot is still teasing Long'er, I don't know what to think, Xuan Shijing unconsciously showed a smile.
Xuan Shijing took Long'er and Shi Hu to this Xuanwu hug, in fact, it also has the meaning of killing time, back to Chang'an these days, has been busy with feet not touching the ground, too many miscellaneous things, people are a little out of breath, simply busy and leisurely, come to Xuanwu to enjoy it, since I want to be cleaner, so that the brain will remain sober, and I came to see the environment around Xuanwu Lake, which makes Xuan Shijing very satisfied.
I no longer pay attention to the movement in the next room, and begin to concentrate on outlining the planning of Xuanwu and its surroundings in my mind, so why not use some consciousness far beyond this era to bring some good changes to Datang?
Xuan Shijing got up from the couch and walked to the window, Long'er, who was originally sitting by the window, saw Xuan Shijing coming over and hurriedly got out of the way.
"Long'er, do you see the Daozheng Fang over there?" Xuan Shijing's eyes fell on the Daozheng Workshop not far from the east of Xuanwu Lake.
Long'er nodded: "See, does the little marquis want to arrange the people transferred from Erxianzhuang there?" ”
"That's right, the closest place to Xuanwu is the Daozheng Fang, and in the future, the Fushang Chamber of Commerce will move into Xuanwu Hug, and there will be a little to take care of." Xuan Shijing said: "Long'er, I said that I will hand over Xuanwu to you to take care of it, but I am not just talking, you and Gao Jun, as well as Feng Hao on Zhuangzi, plus the money pile that is now managing the Hou Mansion caravan, are all talents who can take charge of themselves, and they must learn to take a long-term view, and now the money pile is doing well, maybe it is Uncle Qian's cultivation since childhood, but in terms of ability, the four of you are all about the same, but they are just manifested in different fields." ”
When Long'er heard this, she bowed her head and was silent.
"Look at the Daozheng Square over there, it's just a workshop, in the future, we will be able to recover all the funds we spent on the land of Chang'an City from this workshop." Xuanwu Lake is adjacent to the East City, the east and west cities are the most lively and prosperous areas of Chang'an City, and the Xuanwu Lake is a pleasant scenery, the willows on the shore in summer, the snow on the lake in winter, no matter what, there are always different scenery, whether it is a dignitary or a businessman, such a residence is attractive to them, plus the later publicity, it is definitely a sure win, not only does not lose, but also makes a big profit.
"What is the little marquis going to do?" Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing curiously, she naturally didn't know Xuan Shijing's real estate plan for Daozheng Fang in her heart.
"Long'er, what do you think of the number of people in Chang'an City now compared to ten years ago?" Xuan Shijing didn't directly tell Long'er about her plan, but wanted to guide her step by step.
"Naturally, there are a lot more, compared to ten years ago, Chang'an City is crowded everywhere except for the vicinity of the imperial city." Long'er replied.
"If there are more people who come to live in Chang'an City, the houses in Chang'an City will be in short supply, especially those merchants, whose identities cannot buy houses in the streets around the Imperial City, but they are the richest group of people." Xuan Shijing said, he is right, although there is still a surplus around the imperial city, but it will never be sold to the merchants, just these shops, are the land that the emperor is preparing to reward the minister or reserve for the prince or princess to open a mansion outside the palace, and in the Tang Dynasty, the status of the merchant has always belonged to the lowest level, compared to the craftsmen, there is still a surplus, how can the residence of the merchant be so close to the imperial city.
But these wealthy businessmen are very picky about their residences, and ordinary people's residences are not looked down upon, and they are desperately fighting for status and making money, isn't it just to live a prosperous life, and they can't even satisfy their residences, so what are they fighting for?
