After leading the prince to the main hall, Liu Fan wanted to salute again, but Wang Xi hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Young Master Liu...... No, it's time to change the name to Hou Ye, hehe, is it polite between Hou Ye and the miscellaneous family? This time, the miscellaneous family came to congratulate the Hou Ye, but in fact, they came at the behest of His Majesty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Fan hurriedly said: "What is Your Majesty's message?" ”

Wang Xi said: "Your Majesty wants to marry the princess to the Hou Ye, this time the Hou Ye is the title of the gold list, and a special house is given, this house has been repaired, and the furniture is also complete, and the Hou Ye can move in at any time." ”

House ......

Liu Fan was stunned for a moment, being an official in the Beijing Division, the house is indeed a big deal. In the past, the Liu family was only rich and had no power, so whether it was a person or a house, they could not squeeze into the inner city - the circle of elites. Now that Liu Fan is an official and is still ranked in Jiuqing, he naturally wants to live in the inner city, and he can't live with the three sects and nine streams in the outer city, and it is more convenient to be on duty at ordinary times, so it is close. However, the houses in the inner city are expensive, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are sky-high, and more importantly, there are very few people who sell them, and almost no one sells them in the market. After all, for the powerful, it is a very shameful thing to sell the house, even if they plan to move elsewhere, there is no reason to sell this old house, it is a big deal to keep it, let the old servants of the family take care of it. And now it is not the time when Xiang Yu, the emperor of Gaozu in the early Chu Dynasty, Xiang Yu's goods are a bad star, life and death are all in one thought, especially for nobles and officials, but also uphold the concept of not killing and being uncomfortable, for decades, it has never stopped. When people died, they naturally had to sell their houses, so in the early Chu period, the housing prices in the inner city were extremely low, and even a few hundred taels of silver could take down a large mansion. At that time, ordinary people and wealthy families were not allowed to come in and buy houses, even if you were asked to buy them, you would not dare to ask for them. The officials are killed and replaced, the nobles are even more miserable, almost the end of a pot, and dozens or hundreds of mansions have to be vacated for any major case, and Xiang Yu never kills more than one, and pursues the principle of cutting grass to eradicate the roots, so at the beginning of Chu, the inner city was very depressed.

It's just that it's different now, now an official is an official, as long as you don't rebel, there is no possibility of end. Even if it is Zhishi, it is also a gentry family, this house is naturally to be kept, and the children and grandchildren will also enter Beijing for the examination in the future, and there is no reason to sell it.

Liu Fan has always taken "taking advantage of the bastard" as the guiding ideology, and he was immediately refreshed. Hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Shengming, our Great Chu Dynasty is really a holy master. When he said this kind of thing, he didn't have any pressure at all, and he was really not afraid that God would send down a colorful divine thunder to chop him to death.

Liu Fan is now the title of the gold list, ranked in Jiuqing, and has a marquis in the city, and he is about to marry the princess who is favored by the emperor in the dynasty, Liu Fan finally feels that life is like this, and it seems to be quite perfect. Liu Fan feels that he is enough to make the ** silk group in later generations jealous to death-"Get promoted and raised, become the general manager, become the CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and walk to the peak of life, think about it, it's a little exciting." But when he looked at Wang Xi, he found that Wang Xi's face was not very good, and he said in his heart that the emperor gave me a house, it's about your, what are you sad about? Could this dead eunuch be jealous? If you are jealous, if you have the ability, you can also take the top test and take a look. Liu Fan didn't know that the original owner of this house was Zhang Kang, and now Xiang Jingwu specially asked Wang Xi to give the house, which inevitably had the idea of supporting Wang Xi and beating Zhang Kang. Wang Xi also knew that he was shot by Xiang Jingwu today, so he was quite afraid that Zhang Kang, who was the internal minister, would burn his anger on himself, and of course he was uncomfortable on his face.

Liu Fan couldn't help asking, "Princess, where is this house?" ”

Wang Xi said the address, Liu Fan was full of interest at this time, and said: "It's better for the prince to take Benhou to take a look, since it is a royal house, it is always necessary to open your eyes." ”

Wang Xi hurriedly shook his head and said: "The miscellaneous family has to go back to the palace to resume their lives, so they won't accompany the Hou Ye, Your Majesty has already instructed the subordinates to take care of the Hou Mansion, and the Hou Ye can move whenever he wants." ”

Liu Fan felt that this Wang Xi was getting more and more weird today, usually this dead eunuch was very enthusiastic about himself, just to take a look, how much could he delay? However, since he refused, Liu Fan didn't bother to let him lead the way, so he wrote down the address.

Wang Xi asked him again: "Hou Ye went to the Ministry of Officials today?" ”

Liu Fan knew that Wang Xi was inquiring about his going to the ministry, and he must have wanted to return to Xiang Jingwu, so he told him about today's events, Wang Xi nodded, then got up and said goodbye: "The miscellaneous family will go back to the palace to resume their lives, and the Hou Ye does not have to send him off." ”

After saying that, Wang Xi left in a hurry.

In the evening of the same day, a large group of people of the Liu family set off in a mighty manner and followed the address to find the house of the imperial gift.

At the beginning, everyone didn't put this house in their eyes, and most people thought that the things given by the emperor were treasures, but in fact, for the dignitaries, all the royal gifts were often worthless things, and the behavior of the royal mansion was rare, and it could almost be described as rare, even if it was the mansion of the imperial gift, it was just an ordinary house, and the scale would not be too large normally, as for the decoration, it was not to mention, most of them were left by the official courtyard of the prisoner, and they may not have been repaired for several years.

But the mansion found according to the address Wang Xi said made Liu Fan stunned, in fact, it was not only Liu Fan who was stunned, but also Master Liu, Mrs. Liu, Liu Yanran, Zhao Ji, Xiaohuan, Xiaoling and the people who came with him were also speechless for a while.

This is a new house, covering an area of nearly fifty acres, several heavy yards, paved with bricks on the ground, this brick is not an ordinary brick, but the commonly known Qin brick, there is a sentence called Qin brick Han tile, this Qin brick is not affordable for ordinary people, that is, the palace, is also used this kind of bricks, because it is not easy to fire, even ordinary dignitaries do not have this style. The front door is three open, the middle door is about two zhang wide, the stone lions stand on both sides, the threshold is also extremely high, and the few doors guarding the door are different from other people's houses at a glance, giving Liu Fan the feeling that he is like a warrior in the palace.

Liu Fan stepped forward to negotiate with them and reported his name, and these people hurriedly said with a smile: "The prince ordered the humble post this morning, and he was looking forward to the Hou Ye coming. Does Master Hou want to see the house? Inside, please. ”

A large family entered the door, the inside suddenly opened, there is no patio in the vestibule, but it is a small lake, and this lake is connected with a river outside, in order to prevent someone from stealing, a sluice gate is set up, an artificial pavilion is set up in the lake, there is a stone road with a stone guardrail leading to the stone pavilion, just such a thought, I am afraid that the cost is already expensive.

Liu Fan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Even the prince and the county prince's mansion are not so magnificent, is this still an inner city?!" ”

Liu Yanran's cheeks flushed when she saw it, and she couldn't help but say: "Brother, we shouldn't be wrong, brother, look at this lake, the lake is so big, Ming'er raises some goldfish, and we can watch the fish in the pavilion in the future." ”

Liu Fan thought to himself: "Actually, it's good to raise Wang Ba or something, you can eat it when you raise it, and make up for it!" But he said: "Boating on the lake, looking at the sparkling water, comfortable and comfortable." ”

Everyone immediately acted separately, each went to see the house, there are hundreds of rooms here, the front hall, the small hall, the flower hall, the back hall are all complete, there are several attics, and there are small courtyards in the courtyard, almost all the functions that the mansion can have here.

Liu Fan couldn't help but be excited, and couldn't help but sigh: "Imperial Uncle Shengming, you see, this house is all newly built, could it be that the imperial uncle had expected Benhou to go to high school, so he secretly ordered someone to build it?" Ay...... It's good to have an imperial uncle, and the marquis of tomorrow will enter the palace to thank him. ”

After reading the house, Liu Fan was exhausted, but the excitement had not passed, and he didn't fall asleep until the third watch, but before the end of the second day, he was called up by Zhao Ji.

Liu Fan changed his official uniform, and the cyan round pattern official robe was worn on his body, which made Liu Fan have a bit of majesty without anger and self-authority, wearing a black veil, the whole person became a lot older, Zhao Ji gave Liu Fan a crown, and couldn't help but quip: "The husband seems to have grown a few years old all of a sudden, well, don't put down your hands, this belt is not easy to tie." ”

After some fiddling, Liu Fan arrived at the door, and did not forget to instruct: "The matter of moving should be stepped up, the husband may be busy with official business these days, but he will trouble his wife." ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said: "The most difficult thing to do is the servants in the house, such a big mansion, there must be a lot of errands and caretakers, it's really not possible, let's call some from home first, after all, I know the roots, rest assured." Liu Fan said: "You can do it." After saying that, he went out of the room, and when he arrived at the courtyard gate, Xiao Liu wanted to follow, only to see him holding a gong in his hand, knocking it hard, and shouting: "Shouting Hou and Shaofuqing go to the court." ”

Ringing gongs and shouting early in the morning, in the future generations, will definitely be cursed and scolded by the neighbors, but at this time, it is auspicious, but it is nothing, and the Liu family is not a good bully now, to put it arrogantly, at least in this area, only the Liu family bullies, and no one else dares to find the Liu family.

Liu Fan sat in the sedan chair, his mood had calmed down, he was also quite looking forward to the court, Dianmao, he had come to this era for half a year, but he didn't know how this official master went to the court and how he worked, especially this young eunuch, although he heard some information about the corners, but after all, he had not been there in person, after all, he was a little curious.
