Pan Sanlang hesitated for a long time before he said: "The owner of that house does not allow us to reveal his identity, the official might as well go and see it first, if it takes a fancy to it, I will tell the official, the official thinks this arrangement is okay?" ”

Fanning laughed, "Didn't you say that he had some conditions for selling the house?" What conditions does he have? ”

"He doesn't sell to merchants, of course, merchants can't buy either, they don't sell to the Liao and Tanguts, and he must know the background of the buyer before he decides to sell or not?"

"It's kind of unfair! He refuses to reveal his identity, but he wants to know the identity of the buyer. ”

"Who makes people willing to sell their houses cheaply?"

"Alright! Where is the house? Let's take a look. ”

Pan Saburo called an ox cart and took Fan Ning along Zhuquemen Street in the direction of the West Gate of Guozijian, about a mile away, a river appeared not far away, this is the Cai River, dividing Taixue into two, a bridge across the Cai River, Fan Ning remembered that this was called Feiyun Bridge.

"That's the house!"

Pan Saburo pointed to a house on the north side of the bridge.

The two of them got out of the bullock cart, and Fanning carefully surveyed his surroundings.

The road on the south side of the bridge is very wide and flat, as if it is a square open space, and there are many small stalls and vendors standing near the bridgehead in the open space, and there is also a boxing stall.

Between the vacant land and the high wall of the house is a row of shops, Wan's real pearl silk shop, Daming money shop, Li Jiayu Jin Zhu shop, these three shops are quite imposing, black tile cornices, wide shop surface, behind the three shops is a black tile high wall, the big trees inside are towering, it can be seen that this house is very ancient.

Fan Ning turned his head to look at the south side of the street, dozens of small shops in the south are close to the roadside, all kinds of snack shops, bun shops, fruit shops, and grocery stores are dazzling, very lively, the south of many snack shops is the high wall of Taixue, and the three high-rise buildings of Guozijian Library stand not far away.

To the east of the house there is a path full of willow trees, with the high walls of the house on one side and the ordinary houses on the other, and the doors of the houses open on the path, close to the main street.

Fanning suddenly realized a small mistake he had made, he wanted to buy a five-acre house, so he took it for granted that this house was a five-acre house, and now he found out that it was not.

"How big is this house?"

"Eight acres!"

"It's so cheap?"

Fan Ning was really a little surprised, the five-acre house he saw just now was bought for 13,000 guan and 2,600 guan per mu, while this house was sold for 16,000 guan for eight acres, 2,000 guan per mu, which was much cheaper.

And the house is a very ordinary house, there is no taste at all, and this house is like an official house, and a few ancient towering trees show its taste.

"How?"

Pan Saburo said with a smile: "The external environment is not bad!" It's quiet and lively, I've been in it, and I can't hear the noise of the street in the house. ”

"Why didn't you sell such a cheap and nice house?" Fanning was a little skeptical, wouldn't there be something strange about it?

"How can no one buy it?"

Pan Saburo smiled dumbly, shook his head and said: "In the past month, how many people want to buy this house, and some people ask for gold to buy, but people don't sell it, if the buyer talks vulgarly and looks like a nouveau riche, the owner won't even show the house." ”

"Didn't the sign in front of your shop say that the landlord was in urgent need of funds?"

"That's what I wrote, and it's actually not that urgent, the landlord is really raising a sum of money, but he doesn't want to sell it to ordinary people."

Fanning understood, and smiled happily: "Go in and have a look!" ”

Fanning noticed that the willow-planted path was not narrow, and that it should lead to a certain street all the way north, but there were very few people walking, which was a little strange, and Fanning asked, "Where does this road go north?" ”

"The end of this road is Mingguang Temple, after Mingguang Temple and then go north is the inner city moat and city wall, but this road goes forward for a mile is the west gate of Baokang Gate Wazi, which is very lively, it is the third largest tile in the capital, second only to Panlou Street tile and Zhou Xiwazi."

Fanning nodded, and his eyes turned to the gatehouse of this mansion, this gate is quite imposing, the black tile door, the gate is wide, inlaid with two rows of sixteen large copper nails, on which there are two bowl-sized beast head copper rings, the drum stones on both sides are five feet high, and there are four steps.

If the gate is opened, the carriage can drive directly into the mansion, but there is a small door next to the gate, it is estimated that the small door is usually opened, and the owner gets off here to return to the house, and the carriage has a special entrance door for the carriage in front.

Fanning knew that this was not the main house where the owner lived permanently, it should be another house, otherwise there should be a plaque on the door, and now it was empty, nothing was hung, only another house would be like this.

Pan Saburo stepped forward and patted the door knocker, and after a while, the small door opened, revealing a man who looked like a housekeeper, he saw that it was Pan Sanlang, and couldn't help frowning, "Why are you again, the day before yesterday, you took that guy to look at the house and made the master angry, and this time you want to make the master angry?" ”

Pan Saburo hurriedly laughed and said: "The day before yesterday was really a misunderstanding, I don't know how that person is so vulgar, this time I promise not to!" ”

"Humph! It just so happens that the master is not here, otherwise it will be useless for you to explain. ”

The housekeeper looked at Fanning behind him again, he was really a little strange, how could he be a teenager, why didn't his parents come?

The housekeeper hesitated and asked, "This young man is here to see the house?" ”

"Steward Yang, don't underestimate people."

Pan Saburo stepped forward and lowered his voice and said, "People are new science and technology scholars!" ”

Hearing that it was a new science and technology jinshi, the butler's expression suddenly eased greatly, and he hurriedly opened the door, "Then please come in!" ”

Fan Ning smiled and nodded to the housekeeper, and walked into the mansion, facing a shadow wall, which was engraved with a map of the border pass riding and shooting, only to see a general in full armor riding on a war horse to draw a bow and shoot back, the war horse was vigorous, like a dragon flying, the general's expression was calm and cold, his eyes were slightly narrowed, although it was a stone carving, but his eyes were sharp and striking.

"This is Lingbi bluestone, it cost two thousand yuan fifty years ago, and now it is far more than two thousand, this mansion is absolutely worth it just by this stone wall." Pan Saburo reminded in a whisper on the side.

Fan Ning stood in front of the stone wall and admired it for a moment, he estimated that the owner of the house was a general, so he did not sell it to the Liao and Western Xia people.

Walk through the stone wall, the eyes suddenly open up, it is a low plum forest, it is full of green plum fruits, through the plum forest, in front of a three-story wooden building, the foundation stone is solid and wide, the whole wooden building is huge, covers an area of one acre, the eaves and beams, create extremely exquisite, the left is a long corridor with eaves, all the way to the back house.

On the right, five or six towering trees were planted against the wall, which just covered the tall building, and the building was not visible from the street.

This is a typical garden-style house method, both shelter, but also do not lose space, this wooden building includes living, hospitality, dining, study, gathering and other functions, it from the space to the area, if spread out, in fact than the traditional three-compartment style of the hall is much larger, just this momentum and ingenious design is amazing.

At this time, Fanning suddenly thought of something and looked around.

Pan Saburo understood his thoughts, pointed to the left and said with a smile: "The other side of the corridor also belongs to the mansion, it is a long type, covering an area of about two acres, and the lower room, kitchen, stable, and storage room are all over there, and you see the round door, which leads to the next door."

Fanning saw that there was indeed a round door in the middle of the corridor, so he smiled and nodded, he was in a good mood now, and said with a smile: "Let's go to the back house to have a look." ”

He calculated that the atrium covers an area of three acres, and the kitchen covers an area of two acres, which is five acres, so there are only three acres of space left in the back house, but he doesn't know how to build it?

The atrium and the back house are separated by a thin high wall, with only a door at the promenade, and the mansion seems to be unoccupied, and only the butler has been seen until now.

Walking through the long corridor and entering the back house through a small door, Fanning couldn't help but exclaim again, in the middle of the back house was a half-moon-shaped pond, which was planted with lotus leaves, and various pavilions and pavilions were built along the pond around it.

Outside, planted with a patchwork of trees and shrubs, it was exceptionally fresh and elegant, and Fanning was immediately fascinated by this garden-like house.

The housekeeper proudly introduced: "This pond is connected to the Cai River outside, it is living water, in the past, there were often fish in the river swimming in, and then my master installed an iron screen on the dark gap, and there were a lot of goldfish in it, as long as they were fed, they would appear." ”

Fanning immediately decided: "If I buy this house, will your master be willing to sell it?" ”

"The official is really a jinshi?" The butler asked.

Fan Ning nodded, "In Xia Fanning, the first Jinshi in the Tongzi Division, the fourth in the overall list, Zheng Bapin Chao Fenglang, the official secretary of the provincial Zhengzi, is currently serving as an inspector in Guozijian." ”

The housekeeper was in awe, "We have also heard of the name of Fan Guanren for a long time, I will go to report to the master today, I believe he will be interested in the official." ”

"Can I ask who your master is?"

The housekeeper was not as hypocritical as Pan Sanlang, and told him calmly, "The master of my family is the third generation of Tianbo Yang Mansion, the grandson of Yang Lao Linggong, the son of Yang Yanzhao, and the official name is Wenguang. ”

Fanning'Ahh exclaimed, "Your master is Yang Wenguang?" ”
