Chapter 569: The House
"Xiaobei, you don't have to persuade me, I drag my children and daughters, and I have an old mother, no matter what, it's not good to live in a relative's house." He shook his head and said, "You can help me see where there is a suitable house, and I will rent one." β
Du Jinning told Lu Xiaobei about his plan to open a small restaurant with the Xie family: "If there is a suitable restaurant near the eldest brother-in-law's house, or buy or rent, as long as the price and location are right, it is easy to say." β
Lu Xiaobei also knew that he couldn't persuade them to stay, so he didn't say more, only nodded and said: "Don't worry, I've been running here for two years, and I'm familiar with people, so it's not a problem to find a suitable house and shop." β
Du Jinning can actually ask Yao Shuqi to find a Chinese person, but he knows Lu Xiaobei's ability. So for something like this, she just has to hand it over to him, and even Yao Shuqi doesn't have to worry about it.
On the second day, Du Jinning took a gift and went to meet Guan Lehe.
Guan Lehe learned that she arrived in Beijing yesterday, and knew that she would definitely come to the door today, so he specially refused the invitation of his colleagues to drink, and came back early from the yamen to wait for Du Jinning to come to the door.
When the teacher and student met, they had some affection and concern, and told each other about their recent situation - although the teacher and student have been writing continuously in the past two years, there is always a letter to exchange a month, but they are far away, and they are afraid that the other party will worry, and they always report good news but not bad news. So when we met, there were countless things to say.
Guan Lehe is most concerned about the family affairs of his disciples.
He asked, "I heard that Pan Yiting is going to marry his daughter to you?" β
Du Jinning suddenly smiled bitterly: "What did Guan Jiaze say? β
Guan Lehe nodded: "Even if he doesn't say it, I can guess it." At your age, with such talent and character, no matter who you are, you can't help but think about it. β
Although he knew that the teacher thought that he already knew about his cousin, Du Jinning still told Chen about bringing his niece from home and betrothed to the two.
She explained: "My cousin has a very hard time at home, my uncle is lazy and unreliable, and my aunt is very patriarchal. Even if she stayed at home, she was sold for the bride price money to give her brother a daughter-in-law. My mother took her and told her the truth, promising that when she reached her age, she would give her a rich dowry and find her a good family. These days, it seems, this cousin is an honest one. β
Guan Lehe sighed: "I can only use this stupid method." Saying that, he looked at Du Jinning, his eyes full of pity.
God is jealous of talents, how could such a good child get such a problem?
"But......" he said, "your method is not once and for all. β
Du Jinning raised his eyes and asked, "What did the teacher say?" β
"You must know that our Song Dynasty has always had the legacy of the Tang Dynasty, and the style of the women is relatively strong. Someone really has a crush on you, but it doesn't matter if you have an engaged fiancΓ©e at home. If they take the means to have a skin-to-skin relationship with you in public, you will have to go home and give up your cousin's affair and obediently marry that noble girl. β
Du Jinning was taken aback: "Won't it?" β
Guan Lehe smiled and shook his head: "Why not?" Not too much. β
Du Jinning was suddenly distressed: "But I'm like this, I really can't marry a wife." She looked at Guan Lehe, "Otherwise, teacher, you will let my eunuch affairs out of the wind." It's unforgiving, those noble ladies still have to find a way to marry me, right? β
"What are you afraid of her? Those noble girls really used this kind of subterfuge to force you to marry, you marry her, and you won't suffer anyway. Guan Lehe glared.
Du Jinning was dumbfounded: "Teacher, you, you ......" I couldn't believe that this was my own upright teacher. I'm afraid this isn't worn by some guy with a wrong outlook, right?
"Why do you think the teacher is so bad?" Guan Lehe asked with a smile, "If you stay in this capital for a long time, the white can also be dyed black." β
"Is morality so broken here?"
"Not really." Guan Lehe shook his head, "It's just that there are more powers." In the face of power, reason is useless. β
Du Jinning was silent.
After a while, she asked with some frustration, "Then what should I do?" β
"That's why I said, if you want to marry you, if you marry, what's there to worry about. She's unreasonable first, what do you care about doing so much? It's a big deal to be separated after a year or two. Anyway, it is common to remarry with divorce, and it does not delay other girls for a lifetime. β
Du Jinning smiled bitterly.
If she's really a heavenly boy, that's fine, she's not a good person anyway. But she's not a boy!
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. At least before Zhongjinshi, I didn't have anything to remember except for this appearance. Even if someone wants to marry me, it will have to wait until I become a jinshi. β
Guan Lehe nodded, no longer talking about this topic, and mentioned another matter: "I helped you see a house." β
Du Jinning's heart suddenly warmed: "Teacher, ......"
Guan Lehe said with a smile: "I know that you kid can make money, so the house I helped you see is more expensive, and it is in our district." β
Du Jinning was taken aback: "How can there be a house for sale here?" β
The residential areas of the capital are naturally divided into upper, middle and lower classes. Like the district where the Guan family is located, it is the place where the nobles live, with high mansions, wide roads, and excellent security and hygiene. And living next to the powerful always has all kinds of benefits that cannot be said. And such a house, often a few generations, few people will sell the house, even if there is, people are looking for their relatives or acquaintances to buy, will not be sold to the Chinese. Neighbors also watch over the fact that people of low status are not allowed to buy houses here. In ancient times, selling a house did not mean that you could sell it if you wanted to, but you had to sign it by your neighbors before you could sell it.
Those rich businessmen sharpened their heads and thought of coming here to buy a house, but they also had no way to sell it.
So Du Jinning was taken aback when he heard Guan Lehe say this.
"Wasn't there turmoil in Beijing some time ago? This house belongs to the second prince's cronies. He was particularly energetic in that struggle, and was beheaded by the new emperor and his house was confiscated. β
Guan Lehe looked at Du Jinning: "Some people are more taboo about such a house. If you don't want it, look elsewhere. You can also find a vacant lot elsewhere and build a garden like the capital city of Gui Province. β
"I'm not taboo." Du Jinning shook his head and said.
She herself is a person who has died once, although the crossing has made her a theist, but she believes that Guan Lehe, the teacher will not persuade her to buy a murderous house.
Sure enough, hearing her say this, Guan Lehe smiled with relief: "Don't worry, no one has died there." The second prince failed, and the man ran away from the house, and was killed by the eldest prince's own soldiers outside the city. His wife and children also disguised themselves and wanted to go out from another city gate, but they were recognized and caught by their own soldiers and sent directly to the prison, where all the men were beheaded and the women were sold as officials. This house was repossessed by the government and planned to be sold. And the person in charge of this happened to be a good friend of mine, so I asked him to keep the house. β
