"By the way, I just remembered. The house that Brother Liu picked up before was Brother Chu's bedroom, right? If Brother Liu and his sister-in-law live there, where will Brother Chu live? ”

"It's not a big deal, isn't there a dormitory in the academy, I'll stay there for two nights." Chu Feng explained with a smile, "The courtyard has actually been arranged a long time ago, and I have rented another courtyard in the small alley of the Lu Mansion, ready to let Brother Liu and my sister-in-law rest in peace." But there were originally two old people living there, and they had said that their son would come to help move, but there seemed to be something delayed over there, and they needed to wait for a few days. ”

"What are the living conditions of the art academy? If it's too bad, your sister-in-law and I should go out and live first. Liu Zhengqing thought for a while, and after opening his mouth, he naturally got Chu Feng's objection, Liu Zhengqing shook his head and said, "It's not polite to you as a brother, where we live is a trivial matter, and it's nothing to go to the inn for two days." Don't get sick or anything like that because of that. I didn't think it before, but now that the city of Tokyo is at night, it is indeed much colder than Jiang Zuo, Brother Chu, you are skinny, don't get caught in the wind and cold anymore, then the gain will outweigh the loss. ”

"That's right!" Xiao Ting also came to join in the fun, and said with a smile, "But there is no need to mention the inn or the dormitory of the painting academy." Go back to the house with me directly, you don't need to mention eating and drinking, if you have that thought, it's not impossible to warm up the red tent. Why bother to create that sin! ”

Chu Feng smiled and refused when he heard this: "How can it be so exaggerated, Brother Xiao, if you say that, I don't dare to go." To tell you the truth, the Fan family has been watching closely recently, if I accidentally do something that is bad for my personal morality. I'm afraid that Brother Xiao, you will suffer with it. ”

Xiao Ting and Liu Zhengqing were stunned when they heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How did you say this?" Could it be that it has already been decided? Didn't you tell us? ”

Chu Feng nodded. smiled: "Before, Mr. Wen Duan came forward, and the two sides changed the eight characters. I've already found someone over there to approve it, and I'm waiting to set a date......"

"Oh my God, you just said such a big thing! You still want to hide it from us! Xiao Ting stood up in shock, his butt was halfway up, and his head hit the roof of the carriage with a bang.

The driver was taken aback and quickly stopped the car to check. Xiao Ting snorted a few times and told the coachman that it was okay, and then the wheels moved again. Occasionally, a thin layer of ice was crushed, making a creaking sound.

Sitting down again, Xiao Ting raised his hand and rubbed his head while complaining: "Hiss-it hurts, it hurts!" Okay, you Chu Feng, you are determined to pay attention to me, right! I can tell you, our Xiao family is just such a lone seedling, if this knocks me stupid all of a sudden, see how my father and mother pick you up! ”

Chu Feng couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly apologized: "My fault." My bad, I'm good tonight. ”

Liu Zhengqing was also excited, holding Chu Feng's shoulders and looking at him with surging eyes. After looking at it for a long time, he sighed and said, "You stinky boy...... When I was in Hangzhou City before. I've thought about it. Ay! To tell you the truth, I asked your sister-in-law to help inquire at that time. I found a few matchmakers to be matchmakers, but they were all returned. said that he disliked that you didn't have a family background and so on, and occasionally there were one or two people in the picture, but they were all women in the market, and I couldn't look down on them. It's good this time, you've been transformed into an official. Tsk, I'm one step faster than my brother! Although the Fan family is in business, no matter what, it is also a poetry heirloom. That Fan Niangzi is a very famous figure in the calligraphy and painting industry, and she is called a painting idiot, hehe, I can't complain that I will fall in love with you! ”

Xiao Ting asked curiously: "Listening to Brother Liu's meaning, have you seen this Fan lady?" I don't know what his appearance is, but he is worthy of this guy Chu Feng? ”

Liu Zhengqing said with a smile: "Fan Niangzi is shy of flowers in the closed month, only Chu Feng is not worthy of her, where is the reason why Fan Niangzi is not worthy of this guy!" Ha ha! Talented and beautiful, very good. Presumably, Mr. Wen Duan is also very satisfied with this marriage. ”

Chu Feng responded with a smile, his face slightly red.

The three of them laughed around Chu Feng's marriage, and Xiao Ting said again: "Brother Chu, I hope you don't mind if I talk like this." When you first entered Beijing, you couldn't talk to the Fan family in terms of identity and financial resources. If you look at it now, you are a painter in an art academy, and you are a great talent in Kyoto, and you are ...... in terms of money I heard that the Fan family promised you a dry share, I don't know if it's true or not? ”

"Oh? And such things? Liu Zhengqing was also surprised and looked at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng touched his nose and said with a smile: "That's all in the past, there were some small things in the Fan family before, and I helped come up with an idea, and it was also the elders of the Fan family who took out a hundred percent of the dry shares to thank me." ”

"In the future, Brother Chu, if you marry the lady of the Fan family, you will get more than one percent of dry shares! Ha ha! Xiao Ting joked, "Of course, I also know that Brother Chu, I'm afraid you don't take things outside your body seriously." But then again, no matter how you say it now, you are also an official figure, and it is not good that you don't even have a mansion like this. You see, even Brother Liu came all the way to you, but he couldn't find a place to live comfortably for a while, which is not very convenient after all. That's it, brother, I'll help you find the house in the capital, how about it? There are not many of you, Wen Duan and Cheng Yuan, two old gentlemen, plus two servants...... About a three-room courtyard is enough. The one who lives now is cramped, you are a dignified court official, and it really doesn't look good if you don't have a mansion. In any case, I am also a land-sitting household, and I am familiar with the city of Tokyo, where it is more convenient and comfortable to live in, and which house is notoriously bad feng shui, and I know some of these things. What do you think? I don't charge you any more benefits, just invite me to eat flower wine twice, how about it? ”

Chu Feng responded with a smile: "Thank you Brother Xiao for your hard work, it's just that I really have no plans to buy a house now." ”

"How?" Liu Zhengqing was also stunned for a moment, "Since the marriage contract has been set, I am afraid that the marriage is also a recent thing." If you don't have a house, how can you get a wife? ”

"I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed slowly." Chu Feng responded vaguely, "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry." ”

The reason why he didn't want to buy a house in Tokyo City. The reason is simple, of course. It won't be long before this place falls, and then who cares if you sit in a five-entry mansion. Or a straw bed, in the face of war. Naturally, it's all meaningless.

Indeed, for Chu Feng, it is not a particularly expensive thing to buy a house now, judging from the money sent by the Fan family in the past few months, he can buy a single house with half a year's share. It can be said that the Fan family's shot is indeed very generous.

Moreover, if Chu Feng really needs money urgently, not to mention that friends such as Mr. Wen Duan and Xiao Ting can help borrow it, he himself is also a contracted calligrapher and painter of Fan's Calligraphy and Painting House after all. Painting a few paintings and selling them can also subsidize the family.

It's just that Chu Feng felt that he didn't need it for a while, so he didn't do these things.

As for the money in hand, the Fan family sent it, although Chu Feng took it, he didn't completely treat it as his own. In addition to his daily expenses, Chu Feng exchanged most of the remaining money for gold, which was naturally for the purpose of escaping in the future.

Others may not care much about this, but Mr. Wen Duan does. The old gentleman also asked twice. Chu Feng roughly talked about his hidden worries, and he didn't break it, but Mr. Wen Duan understood the truth. To Chu Feng's surprise, Mr. Wen Duan did not laugh at him for this. Instead, he silently agreed with this matter, tossed by Chu Feng, and even helped him come up with some ideas on how to avoid people's eyes.

Chu Feng probably understood Mr. Wen Duan's thoughts because of this. The Song Dynasty was in danger, after all, he was not the only one who could see it clearly......

"Buy land, buy land. Logically speaking, this is the most common way to do it. What is Brother Chu's plan? Is it so unique? Xiao Ting asked with a smile.

Chu Feng listened to these remarks, and couldn't help but think of Pearl Sai's book "The Earth". In the novel, the protagonist Wang Lung implements this old idea, his feet are rooted in the land, and his blood is melted into the land.

But whether it is fiction or history, it will tell us a very superficial truth. War and peace, after all, are different.

"I don't have any other ideas, just to be honest......" Chu Feng smiled and took care of his placket, "I don't really want to stay in Tokyo City forever, I think Jiang Zuo is very good, and the products are also rich." If you really want to buy a house and land, you will probably choose that kind of place. ”

"Brother Chu is really ...... Odd. Xiao Ting spread his hands, not quite understanding Chu Feng's thoughts, but he didn't refute it, but asked curiously, "Brother Chu, you also want to enter the painting academy very much, why do you have such an idea now." Is it because I haven't been happy in the art academy these days? If that's the case, you don't have to worry. Your senior brother will be back in the next two days, and you have seen the situation on Master Zhang's side, and after two attempts over there, I guess I won't find fault with you again......"

"What are you talking about? Could it be that my brother Chu was bullied in the art academy? Liu Zhengqing's brows furrowed deeply, and his fists clenched.

"What a bullying, not so exaggerated." Chu Feng comforted and smiled, "It's just some small means used against newcomers, and now that they have all passed, with a character like Brother Xiao on the side to help, where can it make a big fuss?" He's just alarmist, nothing. ”

Liu Zhengqing listened and looked at Chu Feng suspiciously.

Chu Feng laughed slightly embarrassed, and said to Xiao Ting: "It's not for this reason, in fact, Brother Liu knows, the reason why I came to the painting academy is not for any official status, let alone for any desire to be rich and noble, just to satisfy my curiosity and see a few more paintings." When I was almost done, I asked to resign and go back to Jiangnan. If Brother Xiao wants to go to Jiangnan for a visit, he will tell me that I will also do my best as a landlord. ”

The foundation of Jiangnan naturally had to be prepared earlier, but it couldn't be too anxious, the Fangla Rebellion had not yet begun, let alone ended, and things were prepared too early, only the fate of being looted.

Chu Feng had already thought about it, if there was a war, the people would inevitably panic, and everyone would naturally run desperately to the south, and the people in the south would also find a way to evacuate deeper into the south.

Although Chu Feng didn't know when the matter of moving the capital was decided, he thought about it like this, after all, it was such a big thing as the capital, and it was impossible to decide it with a bowl of noodles casually. Perhaps, I can take advantage of this time to make a war fortune...... It's not that he sells arms or anything, he doesn't have that ability, and he doesn't have that kind of idea. Chu Feng just thought about investing in the real estate market while the smoke was rising and the people were panicking......

At this time, there is naturally no such proper noun, but the general meaning is to buy a house and buy land. Only around the city of Hangzhou to buy, that is the future capital, a very stable place, naturally do not need to worry about the war and chaos.

Of course, there is no way to tell others about this now, and it will be fine until you are fine.

With a house and land, if possible, he can help more people, not only to keep his friends and family safe, but also to feed more people.

Chu Feng didn't have much imagination in his chest, and what he could do was to do as much as possible within his own small scope.

The three of them talked and laughed, and the carriage arrived in front of the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Xiao Ting set up a banquet here, found a quiet private room, and the three of them had a simple meal and drink. Xiao Ting also knew that Liu Zhengqing's journey of thousands of miles was really not easy, so he didn't persuade them to drink much, just ate and drank and sent them away.

Chu Feng wanted to pay the bill, but Xiao Ting originally refused, but after thinking about it, this kid didn't even take the initiative to mention the matter of the marriage contract, and he really deserved to be punished, so he stopped fighting with him, and watched Chu Feng pay the bill with a smile.

After the banquet, the slightly drunk Xiao Ting was sent to the carriage of the Xiao family and went straight home. Chu Feng sent Liu Zhengqing back to Lu Fuzhong, asked Mr. Wen Duan and Mr. Cheng Yuan to resign, and brought some things that would probably be needed in the next few days, so he troubled Brother Zhang to catch the car and went straight to the painting academy.

In fact, the dormitory of the painting academy is not independent, it is adjacent to the dormitory of Taixue, but it is separated by a half-wall at will, and it is very easy if you want to come and go.

Chu Cai has been living here since he entered the academy, and he couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard that Chu Feng was coming.

"Brother Feng, let's live together. I've already cleaned your bed, I'm afraid you'll be cold, and I've added an extra handful of firewood to the house, so come in and take a look! Chu Cai's face was a little red from excitement, but it was covered up because of his slightly dark skin. (To be continued.) )
