Chapter 282: Yuelai Inn
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, they said that the big bull set up a ring in the east of the city, let's go and see." As soon as she got into the carriage, Xiao Lori excitedly leaned over and pulled Wang Xiang's arm and shook it.
Wang Xiang didn't know what she was thinking, so he shook his head and said: "We are not short of the five hundred taels of silver, so don't go to show off, if your identity is exposed, it will be very troublesome." ”
Little Lori said coquettishly: "Oh, let's just go and see, and we don't want Tie Dan to compete with him, I'm just curious that there are still people who have so much strength." ”
Wang Xiang was also a little curious about the big bull, and smiled helplessly and said, "Then don't be so anxious, let's find a place to settle down first." ”
The southward trip is not in a hurry, now the spring cold is not a good season for salt, in the middle of summer to rush to Xunzhou time is very sufficient, come to Luoyang can not be rushed, Wang Xiang plans to stay here for a while, take a good look at the scenery of Luoyang.
The streets of Luoyang are wide and flat, the road is full of bustling people, the restaurants and shops on both sides are lined up one after another, and the sound of selling is endless, and there is not much difference from Chang'an, but everyone feels new when they first arrive in Luoyang.
"Young master, I just asked that the best inn in Luoyang is the Yuelai Inn in the east of the city, and there is a special place for guests to park their carriages."
Steward Wang's voice sounded outside, and after entering the city, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and Steward Wang got out of the car and walked in front, inquiring about some news by the way, and it was just to inquire about the inn with someone.
"East of the city?" Little Lori rolled her eyes, smiled sweetly at Wang Xiang and said, "Brother-in-law, let's go to Yuelai Inn." ”
Wang Xiang opened the curtain of the carriage and nodded to Steward Wang: "Since it is the best inn in Luoyang, then let's go to Yuelai Inn, you go to book a room first, and we will go over." ”
Business in bustling city inns like Chang'an and Luoyang has always been booming, especially the best inns, which are often full. Wealthy merchants and children of nobles who came from all over the world to do business would choose to stay at these inns, and Wang Xiang was worried that they would be full, so he asked Steward Wang to take the first step, after all, the bloated convoy on the crowded streets was not fast.
Steward Wang was more experienced than Wang Xiang, so he naturally knew this, and talked to Tie Dan who was driving about the direction of Yuelai Inn and then rushed over first.
"Wang Jiancheng, didn't you say that you want to set up a house in Luoyang?" After Steward Wang left, Li Zhi asked.
"Hmm. After all, the guest house is not as convenient as living in your own house, and you may often come to Luoyang to play in the future. Wang Xiang nodded, he was not short of money, and he was influenced by the thoughts of later generations, and he always wanted to buy his own house when he went to a big city.
"But buying a house is not something that can be done in a while, we are not familiar with anything when we first come to Luoyang, and now it is not too early to buy a house, we will talk about it tomorrow, today we have to find a place to settle down first."
When Xiao Lori heard that she would have the opportunity to come out to play in the future, she immediately said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, then we want to buy a big house." When they arrived in Chengdu and Yangzhou, they also had to buy houses. ”
Wang Xiang looked at the excited little Lori and smiled, but he didn't expect this girl to be a little room fan.
At this time, Luoyang, Chengdu and Yangzhou are equivalent to the Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou of later generations, and in later generations, Wang Xiang set up a trading company and saved money for several years, and he could only barely afford a house of about 100 square meters, how could he be as heroic as now.
If you talk about prices, the prices in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places are not low, and they may be higher than those in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in later generations. However, the housing prices in ancient times were much lower than those in later generations, and the housing prices in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places were less than one percent of those in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in later generations. It can be seen how much the housing prices in later generations have been speculated.
With Wang Xiang's current wealth, it is more than enough to buy ten houses in Luoyang, and after listening to Xiao Lori's words, he suddenly said boldly: "Okay, just listen to the second girl, let's buy a big house." ”
"Chengdu and Yangzhou also want to buy!"
Looking at the cheering little Lori, everyone couldn't help laughing, and the carriage was full of laughter.
After laughing and playing for a while, he suddenly felt that the carriage stopped, and the iron egg urn said angrily: "Young master." It's time to come to the Joy Inn. ”
"Have you arrived?"
As soon as Wang Xiang got off the carriage, he saw Steward Wang running over with a anxious face, and immediately frowned.
"What, isn't there any room available at the Yuelai Inn?"
Steward Wang shook his head and said, "There are no ordinary rooms in the human font and the twelve upper rooms in the ground size, and only the ten upper rooms in the heavenly number are left. ”
As soon as he heard that there were still ten vacant rooms, Wang Xiang was relieved, and said: "Ten rooms are enough, then book a room with a heavenly number." ”
Since the guest rooms of Yuelai Inn are divided into sky sizes. Ground size, human font number, Wang Xiang can naturally guess that the sky number is the best and most expensive guest room, but he doesn't care very much.
Steward Wang shook his head when he heard this: "I asked just now, the ten Tianzi rooms in the Yuelai Inn cannot be booked. ”
"Can't book?" Wang Xiang looked at Steward Wang suspiciously, frowned, and said, "Since it's a vacant room, why can't you book it, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more." ”
Steward Wang smiled bitterly: "It's not a matter of money, the shopkeeper of the inn said that these ten Tianzi rooms will be auctioned every day, and the one with the highest price will get it, and it can only be auctioned for one day, and it will be re-auctioned on the second day." ”
Wang Xiang was stunned for a moment, is there such a thing? It's the first time he's heard of this kind of thing, even a guest room has to be auctioned, and it can only be auctioned for one day, and this Yuelai Inn is too big.
Steward Wang continued: "There are still two pillars of incense left, and the auction of the Tianzi number is about to start, young master, look at ......."
Wang Xiang knew what Steward Wang meant, and said with interest: "Since it's all here, let's go in and have a look, ten upper rooms are just right, and there may not be so many empty rooms when you go to other inns." ”
Leaving a few guards outside to watch the carriage, Wang Xiang took Wu Shun and Xiao Lori and they followed Steward Wang into the Yuelai Inn, as soon as Wang Xiang entered, Wang Xiang found that the inside of the Yuelai Inn was completely different from the quaint outside, the hall was carved and jade, magnificent, and it was even more luxurious than the palace, no wonder Li Zhi couldn't help but take a breath.
Luxury is luxury, but in Wang Xiang's opinion, the atmosphere of the nouveau riche is quite strong, and he shook his head with a smile.
As soon as they came in, Xiao Er immediately greeted them.
"Is Childe here to participate in the auction of Tianzihao?"
Wang Xiang nodded, the hall was already full of people, all of them were arrogant sons and brothers in brocade clothes, and when they saw Wang Xiang and them coming in, they just glanced at them lightly, and they didn't seem to take them in their eyes at all.
Wang Xiang didn't care, and found a place to sit down under the leadership of Xiao Er.
As soon as I sat down, I heard a voice behind me ask, "Brother Tai is from Chang'an, right?" (To be continued.) )
