Chapter 205: Entering Beijing (4)
Xia Yan knew very well that it was completely impossible to completely change the established fact of cultivation and alchemy. Rather than let those Taoist people who are three religions and nine streams, and mixed with fish and dragons, accompany him, it is better to let Li Wenxuan, a reliable Taoist priest, accompany the emperor, after all, the other party has not only treated him, but also taught him Taijiquan, which does have the effect of strengthening the body.
Li Wenxuan, who had drunk two sips of tea, began to cut to the chase: "Late life is the first time to go to meet the saint, I don't know if there is anything to pay special attention to in the Dao?" I also hope that the old gentleman will give advice. ”
I could hear that he asked him euphemistically about Jiajing's Xia Yan, as a courtier, he naturally couldn't judge the emperor at will, his expression was a slight smile, and he said simply: "No matter what Your Majesty asks you, you have to tell the truth." I didn't ask you anything, so don't talk too much. I believe you should also understand the truth that if you say too much, you will lose, and disaster will come from your mouth. ”
Li Wenxuan, who didn't think his words were nonsense, knew that the other party was a figure who had been in the officialdom for a long time and accompanied the king, so he savored the deep meaning contained in his words. His head was not stupid, and he had some understanding, so he slowly stood up and bowed his hand, and bowed and said, "Thank you for the advice, old man." Xiao Ke will definitely remember your golden words. ”
I knew in my heart that he was a manufacturable material, and when he raised his right hand, he waved Xia Yan, on the surface, he smiled and posed as if he was chatting, but in fact, he said to him: "The old man just said it casually, and it is not a good word." Heaven or earth, but it all depends on your creation and your majesty's will. ”
Bending down again, Li Wenxuan, who gave up his hand, said the word "teachable" in his mouth. In the next time, he naturally did not chat aimlessly with Xia Yan, but at the suggestion of the other party, he approached the chair next to him and sat down. Xia Yan, who stretched out a hand, intended to let him call for himself.
Li Wenxuan, who was completely regarded as a physical examination of Xia Yan, did not notice anything wrong with the other party, so he told the truth: "The old gentleman's pulse is peaceful, and his body is also old and strong. Xia Yan, who learned that he was in good health, was naturally in a good mood, after all, he had long realized that his body was the capital of work.
Subsequently, Li Wenxuan, who took advantage of this opportunity, did not forget to ask more questions, and Xia Yan was able to speak bluntly and did not hide his selfishness. As for the words that are not easy to say clearly, he also said them extremely tactfully and implicitly. Xia Yan still believes that with Li Wenxuan's ingenuity, he will naturally be able to comprehend the meaning of his words.
More than half an hour has passed, and Li Wenxuan, who has gained a lot, does not bother much if he is interested. Since he is determined to stay in Beijing to develop, he has to come to the house to ask for advice. During the exchange, he could see that Xia Yan still had a good impression of him, otherwise the other party would have sent the guest directly. In other words, it is that he belongs to the category of children who can be taught.
Li Wenxuan, who had left the Xia Mansion, led Zhao Han to the relevant yamen to report his arrival, with the intention of showing that he had rushed from Guixi County to the capital to wait for the decree according to the time limit. As for when Emperor Jiajing summoned him, he could only wait patiently. After finishing his business, Li Wenxuan wandered around the streets of the capital for a while before returning to the inn. As soon as I stepped into the threshold of the inn, I saw Zhao Tian'er, Lin Ruoxi, and Su Meiniang sitting around a square table drinking tea. Approaching the three of them, he thought to himself, could it be that they didn't go out?
Zhao Tian'er, who saw that Li Wenxuan was coming over, reported happily like a little lark: "Brother Wenxuan, after repeated discussions between me and my two sisters, we unanimously asked you to buy the house we have seen. ”
Li Wenxuan, who sat down in the position facing the north, really didn't expect that they would be able to settle the big deal of buying a house in one morning. He didn't have too many requirements for the house, and since the three of them liked it unanimously, he bought it according to their wishes and said, "Okay, just do what you want." ”
Su Meiniang, who was sitting next to his left hand, couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't ask about the price, just make a decision?" ”
"Since you want me to ask the price, then the husband will ask the price as you wish." Li Wenxuan, who had a smile on his face, asked casually: "Which mansion you are optimistic about selling geometric silver together?" ”
Su Meiniang, who stretched out her hand of Qianqianyu, first gestured at him with a "one" character, followed by another "eight" character, and only then opened her mouth slightly and said: "Eighteen thousand taels of silver." ”
Li Wenxuan, who understood what this number meant, only had it in his pocket, so he did not hesitate to say: "Eighteen thousand taels of silver, just eighteen thousand taels of silver." My only concern, though, is that you don't get tricked by the sellers. This is a high price, but it is just a low-cost house, but it is a big loss. ”
Lin Ruoxi, who was sitting on his right, said seriously: "The silver consumed to build this house alone is tens of thousands of taels. The reason why we were able to pick up this bargain is that the source is unknown. Its original owner was originally a new residence built by a large family in the capital. But I didn't expect that for some unknown reason, not long after it was built, the family was a succession of dead people. Some people say that the mansion has collided with the gods, while others say that the ghosts are haunting, so that no one dares to buy it. The three of us thought together that if you can pray for rain, then you will be able to easily settle the ominous things in this mansion. ”
Li Wenxuan, who heard her say this, really felt that the family was too unlucky. In my own estimation, if it wasn't for the infectious disease in that big family, then it would have been too rushed to die. No matter which one it is, he believes that the minds of Su Meiniang, Zhao Tianer, and Lin Ruoxi are not easy to deceive casually. In addition, Su Meiniang and Zhou Hu have a lot of experience in the rivers and lakes, so they must not be wrong. Lin Ruoxi, who has a certain taste, thoughtfulness, intelligence, and can observe words and feelings, is highly recommended, so this mansion should belong to the high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade category.
And Zhao Tian'er, who was sitting opposite Li Wenxuan, said with a smile: "The furniture in that house is all available." As long as we buy it, we can move in with our bags and avoid a lot of trouble. ”
"Since no one has lived in it, and you all like it so much, then after lunch, in the afternoon we will go and pay the money to the owner of the house, and hand over the house with the other." Seeing her impatient Li Wenxuan, he smiled.
Zhao Tian'er, who couldn't help clapping her hands again and again, was very happy, so she suddenly revealed the habits of a little girl and said, "Okay." ”
