Chapter 874: The Idea of Buying a House
Early the next morning, Chen Fei obediently appeared in Shangshu Province, received an identity token, and waited for the end of the early dynasty to report honestly to the office room of the eldest grandson Wuji.
"What? Got it? The eldest grandson Wuji sprinkled a handful of cigarettes into the small pot on the table, but his eyes were staring at Chen Fei with a smile.
Smiling Tiger! Chen Fei silently labeled the eldest grandson Wuji in his heart. It seems that Cheng Yanjin's evaluation of him is still very correct. The eldest grandson Wuji always looks like a smile, but his smile is not that kind, he often has something to say, and there is a knife in his smile.
It's not that the eldest grandson Wuji is a hypocrite or anything, but he... Probably evolved to the level of an old fox, right? A rookie like Chen Fei can be ravaged casually.
Having said that, the eldest grandson Wuji is still very good, especially for Chen Fei, he takes care of him, otherwise he would not have come all the way to his house to remind him.
"Yes, thank you Uncle Eldest Sun for reminding me, the little nephew has already figured it out."
"Yes." The eldest grandson Wuji nodded with a smile, put the lid on the small cooking pot, touched his beard and said, "It's good to figure it out." Zicheng, the old man knows that your nature is stubborn, and you are used to wandering in the strange workshop, so the old man has to remind you that now that you have officially entered the court, and your every move is watched, but you must not be as casual as before, otherwise there may be trouble. When you are in the court, you should be walking on thin ice, if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates, can you remember? ”
Hey, it looks like the days of idleness are gone. Chen Fei complained silently in his heart.
"Zicheng, the old man heard from His Majesty that there are still many things that you need to deal with in the Qi Workshop, so the time that the old man arranged for you is to stay in Shangshu Province for five days, and the Qi Workshop for five days, with a day of rest in between, and then the cycle repeats. If you are absent from work for a few days, the old man will be busy with things in the strange workshop, and he will not care, but if he is absent from work for no reason in the future, he should be punished! ”
Hearing this, Chen Fei almost didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood. Five days here, five days there, with only one day off in between? Neither weekends nor weekends? Oh my God, are you going to exhaust me? Is there any labor protection?
Oh, forgot, there is really no labor protection law these days, even if it is inhumane, he can only suffer in silence........
"Little nephew... Xiaguan... Remember. ”
"Yes." The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but be happy when he saw Chen Fei's dejected appearance, "Little nephew, don't say that the old man hit you, the things you invented are indeed very useful, and they have also brought huge benefits to Datang, but the glory brought by inventing some strange and obscene tricks is temporary, and the good years can't be used all on these things, creating some political achievements for yourself, and then tinkering with some inventions, wouldn't it be more promising?" ”
"Yes, my nephew knows." Chen Fei was disillusioned at the moment, honestly like a quail. But he always remembered the business he was going to develop in the north........
In the next few days, Chen Fei began his career as a miscellaneous worker in Shangshu Province, if you have to say what he does...
It's probably that the smaller officials will nod and say hello when they see him, and he will also nod and say hello when he sees an older official. And also to help with errands. Shangshu Province has six departments, so he will often run back and forth in several places, in order to send bamboo slips that have been approved and can be executed to the corresponding departments.
At the end of the day, Chen Fei was often so tired that he didn't even have the strength to go home. However, it is obvious that the benefits are also huge, and Chen Fei's network has expanded rapidly unconsciously.
Originally, he was only familiar with old ministers such as Cheng Yanjin, Li Jing, and Changsun Wuji, and he didn't know many other officials.
After running a few laps in the Sixth Division, he was stunned and recognized all the officials one by one. It will definitely be of great benefit to him in his future career.
In fact, Chen Fei is now a celebrity in the court, and there are really many people who want to strengthen him. Among them, there are many people who want to win him over secretly, so he is very comfortable with these people, and he gets acquainted with each other as soon as he comes and goes.
But these people who want to win him over are obviously miscalculated, with Chen Fei's shrewdness, how can they be led by your nose, it's good for everyone to get to know each other, and get along a little deeper....... had to say goodbye, and he didn't want to be involved in inexplicable political disputes.
After five days of exhausting people, Chen Fei had a very strong idea, that is, he must buy a house in Chang'an! It's really tiring to commute back and forth every day! Get a full hour less sleep than others in the morning!
And every day he had to enter the city gate with an escort of twenty or thirty people, and those who didn't know thought he was going to do something.
I thought that this idea would be opposed by my father, but I didn't expect to go home and discuss it with my father, but my father was very much in favor of him buying a house in Chang'an.
The reason is simple. If you have money, you have to buy land, and the house can be passed on to your children and grandchildren, so you naturally have to buy it. And it's good to buy, the place to buy is big, anyway, there is no shortage of money at home! You should buy land and buy a house!
What made Chen Fei smile bitterly was that his father obviously didn't know a few big characters, but he didn't know where he heard the story of Meng's mother's three moves. All night, Chen Fei whispered in his ear, saying that he wanted to buy a house on Suzaku Street, so that he could be worthy of his identity as a princess, and their children would also have a good growth environment in the future, and they would be in contact with the grandchildren of the king, as long as there were no benefits and no disadvantages.
It can be seen from this that Dad is definitely not planning to buy a house in his heart on the first day, he may be embarrassed to mention it to Chen Fei, so he has not spoken, and now Chen Fei has moved this idea slightly, Dad just found an outlet, and talked to Chen Fei about the benefits of buying a house.
In addition, Yan Yun'er and Linchuan also joined the support team of "buying a house", so the next day, Chen Fei, who was supposed to go to Qi Workshop to report, was instigated by his father and two ladies... I skipped class and went to Chang'an City to see the house.
The people living on Suzaku Street are all princes and nobles, and ordinary people are not qualified to buy a house over there, and those who are a little younger are not qualified to live anywhere. However, with Chen Fei's current identity, plus marrying Princess Linchuan, he is definitely qualified to "buy a house and settle down" on Zhuque Street, but unfortunately, he has no corresponding doorway, and he doesn't know where to sell a house.
Cheng Boss and Cheng Er were not there today, Cheng Boss San received Chen Fei, and when he heard that the other party was going to buy a house, he was immediately happy.
Why? Because the Cheng family happens to have a set of redundant properties that have been idle and uninhabited, if Chen Fei wants to, he may be able to discuss with Cheng Yanjin.
On the same day, Cheng Laosan took Chen Fei to visit the vacant property. The location is a bit remote, at the end of Suzaku Street, no wonder no one from the Cheng family came to live.
However, the cleaning is very clean, someone should come to maintain it, a four-entry house, the area is also quite large, and it is quite in line with Chen Fei's appetite, and he immediately made a decision, "This house is going to be!" I'll talk to Uncle Cheng about it when I go back! ”
"No problem." Cheng Laosan nodded, "But you have to prepare 20,000 taels of silver." ”
"So expensive? Why? ”
Cheng Laosan said calmly: "Because my father once said that this house is less than 20,000 taels of silver, don't even think about it." ”
