Gu Yanzhang's return to Beijing did not cause much turmoil in the court.

Although for more than a year, his various exploits in Ganzhou City are enough to prove that he is not only talented and learned, but also capable of hard work, but first, the official position is not high, and secondly, he has no authority, for the court, he is just a small prince Zhongyun, and he cannot play a role in the situation, so naturally no one cares.

Back in the capital, the original residence on Jinliangqiao Street has been re-rented out by the owner's family, with Gu Yanzhang's grade, it is not yet the location of the house given by the court, and the house arranged by the building secretary is really small, and it is no longer enough to live in this house, so he lived in the inn with a group of people.

Early the next morning, Gu Yanzhang went to Zhongshu Gate to hand in the documents, and listened to Yousi arrange for the Son of Heaven to summon him one by one, while Ji Qingling followed the Zhongren to see the house.

Because Ji Qingling was nurtured in his former home, he didn't care much about the value of jewelry and antique utensils, even if it was just an ordinary wood or a cheap chapter stone, he could either carve or grind, and he was quite happy for a few days.

And Gu Yanzhang was born rich, and he was used to all kinds of extravagant things when he was young, and later experienced the slaughter of Yanzhou and fled to Jixian County.

The two masters don't like to spend money, and Ji Qingling has some vision, without discussing with Gu Yanzhang, he can make up his mind or buy a field or a property, and the income is not too much, it is enough for the whole house to chew and use.

In addition, the Great Jin Dynasty is very important, and the officials are treated very favorably, even if it is Gu Yanzhang, who is the first official, because he is a Beijing official as soon as he enters the office, his own official is to be a prisoner, and the dispatch is to be sentenced to Ganzhou, the former is a fictitious position, and the latter is really poor, and the monthly silver, silk, Luo, and brocade are converted into silver, plus job money, additional expenses, etc., and it is not a small income to accumulate.

When his official products are enough, even the Yuan Sui around him will also have the meal money raised by the imperial court, not to mention the tea, wine, salary, charcoal, salt issued according to the month, the ice and charcoal issued according to the season, the rice, noodles, sheep, horses, and even the horses raised will also be taken into account by the imperial court.

Every time she got something from the court, Ji Qingling couldn't help but sigh, complaining that even when it came to her, the officials always chattered, saying that compared to the previous dynasty, what she did was an official, obviously she was a cow and a horse, and she didn't give grass to eat.

Of course, whether it is the income from the field or Gu Yanzhang's income, in the income of the Gu Mansion, this is a small head.

The largest income in Fuzhong in recent years is the more than 2,000 catties of ash worms last year.

With that share of money, as long as you don't spend it indiscriminately, you will sit and eat empty, and Gu and Ji will have no worries about food and clothing in their lives.

Considering that there is cash in hand, the industry has income, and the ash worm that Li Jin and his wife in Ganzhou are looking at - that place will still bring huge income in at least three or five years, and after a few years, even if the income is greatly reduced, it will still be able to get money steadily, Ji Qingling wants to buy a house in the capital.

It's not obvious at the moment, even if the price of houses in the capital is high, relying on the income of ash worms, the government can still barely win it.

Ji Qingling clearly remembered that he had read the history of the former government and the opposition, which recorded that "among the Beijing divisions, all the officials have no house to live in, although they are in charge of the house, they also rent a house." The person who spoke was only thirty or forty years ago.

I bought the house first, even if I have been working as an official outside for the next one or two decades, I can still rent it out, which is more or less a subsidy, and there is an industry in the capital, and when I return to Beijing in the future, I will not "look at the house and sigh".

The question now is where to buy it.

In the old house of the fifth brother's family in Yanzhou City, although there is still a huge amount of gold and silver, and there are not a lot of land deeds in other states, but now the two of them are not easy to use at will for the time being, so they can only bury it first.

Relying on the current surplus money of the two of them, Junyi Bridge Fang, Caomen Street, and Mahang Street are naturally temporarily unaffordable, but near Caihe and Jinliangqiao Street, they can be considered.

The Chinese sat in the carriage with Ji Qingling, holding seven or eight white drawings in his hand, and introduced to her one by one the houses that were currently being sold.

Ji Qingling flipped through the drawings, and sure enough, there is no cheap one in the world to pick up, as long as it looks a little better, the price is extremely high.

She pondered one by one, and suddenly turned to one of them, the house on the top occupied a very large area, there were three entrances, and there was a small garden, and the place where it was written at the bottom was near the Fengqiu Gate.

When the Chinese saw that she was holding this one, he smiled and said, "Madame has taken a fancy to this place?" In addition to partial, everything is good, the place is also open, the house is also strong, it was originally a large family in Jinling City, and now the old man in the family is gone, several brothers are dividing the family, because one is not convinced to divide this house to the rest of the people, it is going to be taken out. ”

After briefly explaining the situation inside, he said: "Now there are only a few doors guarding that place, if the lady wants to see it, you can go straight to it at this time." ”

Ji Qingling heard her say this, looked at the picture again, and then said: "It looks good, but it's really a little far, if you go back and forth to the inner city every day, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort." ”

The man smiled and said, "If it's not far, it's not this price." Madame, think about it, such a square pattern, such a size, if it were not in the Qiu Gate, but in the inner city, the price would have doubled tenfold, and you might not be able to find one. ”

He boasted for a long time, saying that the orientation of the house was good, how square the pattern was, and that the garden inside had been planted with old trees for many years, and that no matter what flowers and plants were raised, they all grew well, and it was a very prosperous place.

"Speaking of this family, when I was in the capital that day, it was really good, I did everything well, and then I went back to Jinling, and there was nothing wrong, so it slowly declined, and now it has reached the point where the brothers are competing for property, it can be seen that this house has excellent feng shui, and the family is prosperous."

She squinted her eyes and smiled and praised Feng Shui.

As a middle-aged person, he naturally knows that some words can be hidden, some words can not be hidden, but can not be hidden, how to explain it, is a science.

She took the initiative to explain the situation of this family, not only to pick up the good words, but also to help the good words dress up, the most important thing is to let the buyer have a preconceived idea, so as not to inquire outside in the future, be pierced by someone, and think that the feng shui here is not good.

Ji Qingling listened to the Chinese in front of her casually blowing nonsense, and did not interrupt her, only lowered her head and looked at the picture again.

The layout is indeed very square, and the size is particularly suitable.

It's just that the location is not good.
