Chapter 45 Merchants are neighbors

Qinglongfang, originally a secluded square city in the southeast corner of Chang'an, but now it is drowned out by the hustle and bustle, Niu Jinda got out of the carriage, looked at the house in front of him blankly, and then looked at the house number, and finally looked at the key card in his hand, and then determined that the two-story building in front of him was the house that Xu Yang gave to himself.

Niu Shizan was unceremoniously, when he saw the house in front of him, he cheered, jumped down from the carriage, and his eyes were full of joy, "Father, is this house given to me by Master Xu?" ”

Niu Jinda was still a little confused, and nodded in a daze, he didn't think the house was shivering, but that the building was too luxurious.

The stalactite stone wall, the beveled design, the glass windows, the towering pointed attic, the house is not as small as Xu Yang said, it can be seen that it occupies an area larger than the courtyard house, in the Tang Dynasty, when have you seen such a building, it is like coming to the Western Regions Persia.

Ignoring Niu Jinda's astonishment, Niu Shizan kept commenting on the building items in front of him, "Father, look, this is a small courtyard, where flowers and grass are planted to cultivate sentiment, and the wooden boards of the small courtyard are coated with anticorrosive oil produced by the academy, and it will not be corroded for a hundred years. ”

Niu Jinda is still in the stage of being stunned, this house will cost four or five thousand yuan, and he got a house without money from that kid for no reason, so that the old cow has a sense of unreality that pie is falling from the sky.

"Father, this kind of small building. It has become widespread in seowon. Many of them live in this kind of house in the academy. I heard Xu Shi say that this kind of house is called a villa, and I just went to Mr. Lu Deming's house to see it, and it is simply a dream house. Niu Jinda chattered, and you could see his excitement from the bottom of his heart.

"Shizan, it's not that my father said that you, such an adult, don't be surprised. I got a house for no reason, it's not good to say, as far as I can see, this house can't be bought without 5,000 yuan, Xu Yang, this kid suddenly gave our family such a big gift, what does it mean? As an old man, Niu Jinda naturally thinks more than young people.

"Hey, Dad, you don't know, in the academy. Mr. Lu Deming, Mr. Li Gang, and Mr. Yan Zhitui each have a small villa donated by Xu Shi. Although it is not as big as the one in front of him, the decoration seems to be more exquisite than this, Xu Shi is a well-known rich family in Chang'an, and Xu Shi definitely doesn't care about this bit of money. "Niu Shizan used to be very muna, but after studying at the academy for more than a year, he has rarely become much smarter.

Niu Jinda didn't know whether to be happy or worried, so he had to shake his head, shook the key in his hand, and said to his son on the side: "Shizan, let's go to the house and have a look." ”

"Okay." Niu Shizan was already a little impatient, and it could be seen from his sweaty forehead that he was excited in his heart.

The old cow worked in front of the big iron gate for a long time, but he hadn't found a way to open the lock, but the cow master on the side was anxious, and volunteered: "Father, I'll open it." ”

Niu Jinda's face was also a little unbearable, hurriedly handed over the key to his son, and watched how he unlocked the lock, Niu Shizan was familiar with the road, found the right direction of the key, aimed at the lock hole, inserted the key in, and then twisted slightly, and heard a crisp sound of 'click', and the lock was opened.

Pushing open the door, it was a smell of ink, Xu Yang knew that Niu Jinda liked pen and ink calligraphy, especially Li Er's Feibai, and specially hung a pair of Feibai characters that Li Er gave to him in this room, he had no hobby for collecting, since Lao Niu liked it, he simply became an adult, and hung this word in the house given to Lao Niu.

Sure enough, Lao Niu entered the house, and he didn't pay attention to anything else, but he was attracted by the pair of words in front of him, only to see him standing in front of Li Er's ink treasure, his face was excited, he had lived in a scholarly door since he was a child, but the world was in turmoil, and the literati had no place to live, so he could only abandon literature and martial arts, and became a general who slashed and slashed, but from the bones, he still had the unique noble preferences of literati.

Niu Shizan is different, he did not inherit his father's literati atmosphere at all, but like a science student in later generations, he has a strong interest in building roads and bridges, and machine transmission.

There are no superfluous decorations in the room, a bookcase, a purple wood bed, there are no superfluous things, but the division of each small room still makes Niu Shizan linger, and when he thinks that this is where he lives in the future, his face will show an uncontrollable smile.

Coming out of the gate, Niu Jinda was holding a scroll in his hand, which was Li Er's ink treasure, and Niu Shizan was excitedly fiddling with the key in his hand.

"Since you are satisfied, then the house will be your wedding room in the future, how about it?" Niu Jinda asked.

"Good, good." Niu Shizan's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

Niu Jinda looked at this son who was once Mu Na lovingly, pointed to the Mobao in his hand and asked, "Are you really going to give this thing to your father?" ”

The smile on Niu Shizan's face remained unchanged and said: "My father likes it, and when I am a son, I naturally have to honor my father." ”

"Hmm." Niu Jinda nodded, "To be honest, I really don't think this house is very good, but this ink treasure is very satisfying." ”

Niu Shizan smiled: "It's good to meet my father's wishes." ”

Niu Jinda also smiled, "Look at what you kid is excited about, isn't it a house, we have a fort house in our hometown in Hebei, you have lived in that spacious house, you know that such a small house is uncomfortable." ”

Niu Shizan just smiled and didn't speak, and he didn't disobey his father's words, which was a filial piety.

"By the way, since the house is finished, let's go back, presumably your mother is in a hurry at home."

"Hmm." Niu Shizan just nodded, followed his father towards the carriage, but a few steps away from the carriage, he heard a mellow voice next to him.

"Slow down!"

Lao Niu and Niu Shizan, father and son, turned their heads together, and saw a wide and fat merchant standing not far away, wearing a dress and fabric that looked good, but the pattern was rough, and he looked like a merchant.

"Are you the owners of this house?" The chubby middle-aged man asked with a smile on his face.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Lao Niu also replied politely: "Exactly, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”

The smile on the fat businessman's face was like a flower, and he didn't care about introducing himself, and hurriedly asked: "Then you must be General Niu, the general of the left avant-garde!" ”

Niu Jinda was a little vigilant, and asked in an unkind tone: "It's here, I don't know if your Excellency is ......?" ”

"Oops, I forgot to introduce myself. Under Chen Yu, the word red pillar, is to live next to the house, long heard that General Niu's martial arts are world-reliant, mighty and extraordinary, and today I see it really deserves its name. The fat merchant's eyes narrowed into slits, his mouth opened to a smile, and he could see all the teeth clearly.

As soon as he heard that it was a neighbor, Niu Jinda's attitude suddenly eased, and he said that Fang Neighbor should be etiquette, and for neighbors, he should have a good relationship, and hurriedly replied: "False praise, the contemptible people will not live here in the future, but the eldest son of the family will live here in the future, and then I will ask Brother Chen to take care of the dog." "Let's say it, and patted Niu Shizan's back, and Niu Shizan also hurriedly saluted.

"Hahaha, it's okay, it's a great honor for me Chen to be one of the best generals in my Tang Dynasty." The fat businessman seemed to be very excited, and even talked a lot, "There is a cinnabar industry in Luoyang, and there is also some scale, and friends in business like to call me Chen Yuanwai, General Niu will call me Hongzhu in the future, and if Young Master Niu needs help in the future, even if he comes to the house next to him to find him, as long as he can help, he will never refuse." ”

Niu Shizan's eyes on the side suddenly lit up, but Lao Niu said politely: "Chen Yuanwai is too polite, if you need help, you can go to the Niu Mansion on the edge of Jingkang Fang at any time to find a contemptible person, it's better to be a neighbor." ”

The fat businessman seemed to hear this, and the pores on his body were relaxed, and he spent 150,000 yuan, in fact, just for such a sentence...... (To be continued......)
