Xiao Luan's expression is complicated, there are accidents, surprises, and a sense of loss, in Jiannan, that time the two of them traveled to Jinjiang at night, under an autumn rain, the lonely canopy drank together, and she turned to seek poetry.

Li Ang gave her a "Jinjiang Night Rain": a boat of autumn rain and a lonely lamp, half a glass of residual wine and half ecstasy. This is a floating guest in the clouds, and he can't bear to teach lovesickness and mistaken beauty?

Such a verse is tantamount to rejecting him, although it is very tactful.

Since that night, Xiao Luan has rarely seen him.

Chang'an City is so big, with a population of millions, I don't know who is missing when I turn around. Chang'an City is so small, I don't know who I will meet when I turn around.

"When did Mrs. Xiao enter Beijing?" Li Ang asked with a smile.

The weeping willow leaves next to it have all fallen, and the bare branches are stained with some edelweiss, which are blown by the west wind and fly down.

Xiao Luan got off the horse and said, "The slave family entered Beijing the day before yesterday, and I don't want to meet Li Langjun here, Li Langjun has always been good?" ”

"I'm fine. What about you? "Li Ang is more open-minded, and it is also a joy for him to meet the old man in Chang'an, "Does Mrs. Xiao also live in Chongrenfang?" Where do you live? ”

Xiao Luan glanced at him and replied, "The slave family is fine, but there were some problems with the family's business, so they rushed into the capital." Now I live in Guangdefang on the east side of the West Market, and I heard that there is an HSBC money cabinet here in Chongrenfang, which can send money from Chengdu to the capital, so the slave family came to take a look. ”

"You want to send money?" Li Ang pointed to the alley where he came and said, "Then the HSBC cash box is on the opposite street, I'll take you there later." ”

Xiao Luan asked, "Li Langjun is here, isn't he visiting friends?" How can I trouble you, just go to the slave family by yourself. ”

"It's not. This house is for sale, I'll take a look. If you agree, you will buy it, Xiao Niangzi has a unique vision. If you're not in a hurry, why don't you go in with me and give me a reference? ”

When Xiao Luan heard him say this, he nodded with a smile.

After a while, there was a series of footsteps in the Aconitum Gate, and a man in his forties opened the door and came out, and when he saw that it was Chengguan who brought people, he greeted him very warmly: "Brother Cheng, it's you!" ”

Cheng Guan smiled: "Steward Liu." My family Langjun is here and wants to see the house. ”

After the housekeeper Liu finished the salute, he said, "Lang Jun, please come in!" ”

"There's a housekeeper for Lao Liu."

Leon led the horse, and followed the butler into the door, and there was a rather spacious chamber by the door, which was used by the housekeeper and the nursery, and it was usually the chamber where guests waited when they visited.

This house is a bit like a courtyard house, with a large courtyard at the door. There are wings and corridors on the left and right, and in the middle of the courtyard is a main hall standing on a three-level pedestal, and the wings and courtyard walls on the four sides. It forms a "Hui" glyph.

Steward Liu said: "The horse shed is on the left, Lang Jun, please wait a moment, I will tie the horse for you." I'll take you inside again. ”

The architectural style of Chang'an City is not as elaborate and complex as that of the Jiangnan area. It is characterized by a spacious atmosphere, and this front yard is three or four acres wide. The stables are located in the southwest corner.

There are rockeries in the courtyard, planted with some flowers, peonies, peonies, orchids, potted pines, plum blossoms and the like, the ground is tamped with rammed earth, the cloister is paved with bricks, and the wooden railings are painted red.

After tying up the horse, Steward Liu took Li Ang and his party to the main hall first.

The main hall is independent of the center of the courtyard and is mainly used for receiving visitors. It is two stories high, the roof is a hanging mountain type, black tile surface, the upper floor has no walls on all four sides, only surrounded by carved railings, hanging roller blinds, when the roller blinds are closed, the second floor is a large pavilion.

In summer, put away the roller blinds, feast and drink with three friends and four friends on the second floor, the cool breeze is flying, the meaning is too flying, it must be very pleasant.

Stepping on the steps paved with bluestone on the third floor, the main hall on the first floor is very large, and the vermilion pillars are almost as big as a person hugging each other.

The hall door is also large, almost completely open, because the depth is very deep, in order to have enough lighting, there are large windows with openwork on the left and right walls.

The floor is paved with large bricks and is very flat. If you have the money, you can add a layer of Western Regions carpet on top, and it will be beautiful and luxurious.

In the front of the hall is a large floor-to-ceiling screen, there are landscapes and calligraphy on the screen, and there is a large sitting bed in front of the screen, spread with a blanket, and there are several cases on it. This is for the master to sit on.

There is also a low bookshelf on the left side of the hall, on which there are no more books, probably taken with them when they moved.

In addition, there are some flower stands, which can be used for bonsai, incense burners, etc.

Each pillar is decorated with drapes, and on each side are eight small beds, on which are also carpets and several tables, usually for guests.

Other than that, there is no furniture in the hall.

Nowadays, although tables and chairs have appeared in the Tang Dynasty, they are still non-mainstream, and most of the Tang people's homes still use a few cases of sitting on the bed, and the boycott in the hall is not much different from this.

After the main hall, there are two gates, and there is a second entrance similar to the front yard at the back.

Like the front hall, the second hall is also built independently in the middle of the courtyard, but the function of the main hall in the front yard is different, the "second hall" is the master's bedroom, and there are also two floors, and the upper floor is also in the form of an open pavilion;

On summer nights, put down the curtains on all sides, and you can lie on the second floor with your wife in your arms.

There are more rooms on the second and four sides, and they are generally inhabited by concubines and maids.

After the second entry, there is a back garden at the back, there are about two acres wide, the garden is planted with flowers of the four seasons, there is a small pond in the middle, there is a water pavilion by the pond, the building is hidden among the flowers and trees.

In the corner of the garden, a vegetable plot has been carved out, where various vegetables such as leeks, cabbage, and radishes are grown, and if they are well managed, they can be enough for their own consumption.

After looking at the whole house, Li Ang was still very satisfied.

Xiao Luan also said to him privately: "This house is very good, but the price is a little expensive, but in terms of a location like Chongrenfang, it is normal for this house to sell for 500 yuan." ”

The houses in Chang'an City, the farther south the fang, the cheaper, close to the south city wall, many of them are still vacant land, and houses like this can be bought there dozens of times.

But it is too far away from the imperial city and the commercial area, and you have to walk ten or twenty miles to go shopping, and if you want to go to court as an official, it will be even more miserable, running back and forth for more than ten miles every day.

In the winter, everyone gets off work together, others have already eaten at home and hugged their beautiful wives for entertainment, and you rush home on the back of a cold swishing horse. When going to court in the morning, you should also get up at least an hour earlier than others to hurry.

If you spend a lot more time on the road than others in a year, can you still enjoy life?

With so much time, as far as Li Ang is concerned, he has already made a hundred times more money.

Thinking of this, Li Ang said to Steward Liu happily: "Steward Liu, after your little Langjun comes back, you will tell him that I bought this house and can deliver it at any time." ”

Steward Liu was in a hurry to return to his hometown, and he was very happy when he heard it, and hurriedly said: "Li Langjun, my little Langjun went to Dongshi to buy horses, and he will come back later, and we can deliver it today." Li Langjun, you sit down first, and I'll pour you some water to drink. ”

Xiao Luan was in a much better mood, she knew that she shouldn't think about it, but Li Ang invited her to come in to see the house, which has a somewhat different meaning, the place where she lives is much more luxurious than this, but if she has a choice, she would rather live in this not luxurious, but quiet and warm courtyard with the person she likes.

Thinking about it, he quietly looked at Li Ang, Xiao Luan's face was faintly hot...
