The story of "Yang Jiajiang" took place in the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has quickly spread all over the world in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But in history, Yang Wenguang is the son of Yang Yanzhao, and there is no Yang Zongbao, at this time sixty-five years have passed since Yang Ye's death, She Taijun has already passed away, and Yang Wenguang is also a veteran in his early fifties.

Fan Ning suddenly thought, is the general who bends the bow and shoots on the shadow wall outside Yang Yanzhao? In terms of time, it should be him, but unfortunately now that the war has stopped, the bravery of the Yang family can only be spread in the romance, and the Yang family in reality has become ordinary, losing the opportunity to contribute to the country, and even the house left by the ancestor has to be sold, which makes Fan Ning have an indescribable heartache.

Coming out of Tianbo's house, Fan Ning didn't have the heart to look at other houses, he and Pan Sanlang went back to Yaxing, and the two signed a commission agreement, once the other party agreed to sell, he decided to buy the house, because he could be exempted from tooth tax, he only had to pay another fifty taels of silver to Yaren.

It was already noon, and Fanning had lunch nearby, and then returned to Guozijian, where he borrowed a pile of books and spent the whole afternoon in the stack.

In the afternoon, Fanning returned to the old Caomen's residence, at this time, he was suddenly full of disgust with the old Caomen's residence, the noisy and noisy old Caomen, the dilapidated buildings, full of the atmosphere of the market on the ground floor, Fanning still had a sense of freshness at first, but after living for half a year, he was a little bored.

The courtyard where he lives now covers an area of about seven cents is said to be sold for 5,000 guan, and the Tianbo Villa that he sees today covers an area of eight acres is only 16,000 guan, which is nothing more than the lot of the inner city.

Pan Saburo told him that if the Tianbo Farewell Mansion was in the inner city, it would be worth at least 30,000 yuan, but unfortunately it was in the outer city.

Fanning entered the gate, but was surprised to find that Zhu Pei was also there, and the little maid Xiaodong was making a sencha.

"Juppe, I didn't see your carriage?"

"The carriage has sent my third grandfather to the alum building, come and pick me up immediately, pack up, let's get ready to go!"

"Where to go?" Fanning was stunned for a moment.

"Of course, it's to go to the alum building, and the third grandfather invites you to dinner."

Alum Tower is the first floor of the capital, there are the most beautiful women, the best wine, and the best tea fried with plum garden spring water and phoenix tea, it is said that the per capita consumption in it is at least ten taels of silver, and not everyone can enter, someone must be introduced, just like the implementation of the membership system.

Although Fan Ning didn't really want to go, but Old Man Zhu had a treat, he didn't want to go, he only took advantage of other people's 12,000 yuan yesterday, and he still had to give this face.

"Alright! I'll take a sip of tea, change another piece of clothing, and we'll go. ”

Fanning drank a cup of tea, changed into a white brocade deep coat, a leather belt around his waist, a gauze hat on his head, and a folding fan in his hand, which was completely the image of a gentle and elegant scholar.

At this time, the carriage had arrived, and Fanning followed Zhu Pei to the alum tower for dinner.

"How do you feel about this maid?" In the carriage, Juppi asked with a smile.

"It's quite clever, I don't need to explain, I can find out how to buy water, this kind of maid is more worry-free."

"Do you want me to get you another one?" Juppe asked tentatively again.

"I'm afraid of trouble, I don't want any maids, my mother asked me to bring a little maid into Beijing, I won't want to, but you find one, since you are here, use it! Don't change it again. ”

"Oh well! This little maid is innocent, you can trust her. ”

Fanning heard this as if to warn himself, 'net worth is innocent', what does this mean?

"That's right! I went to see the house this morning. ”

Hearing that Fan Ning went to see the house, Zhu Pei suddenly became anxious, "Why don't you ask me to go with you when you go to see the house, what if you don't like it?" ”

This seemed to be a bit explicit, Zhu Peiqiao's face flushed, but fortunately, the light in the carriage was dim, and it was not easy to see, and she hurriedly said: "The water in the house in the capital is very deep, you will be deceived." ”

Fanning was a little sluggish, and he thought that what Juppé said was not to his liking.

Fan Ning shook his head with a smile and said: "Of course I want to buy what I am satisfied with, as for what you said about being deceived, I will be very careful, I will never buy a murderous house or a grave house, unlike Cheng Ze, who bought a tomb house outside the city, and he still felt that he had taken a big advantage." ”

"That Cheng Fatzi bought a grave house?" Juppé was also surprised.

"I heard what the tooth man said, the Hongqiao Iron Buddha Temple is surrounded by the former wild graves, he happened to buy there, five acres of houses for two thousand, it is indeed very cheap, the same house on the south bank of the Bianhe River costs three or four thousand."

"Then do you have any house in mind?"

"I like an eight-acre house, located next to the Feiyun Bridge in the south of the city, and the asking price is 16,000 yuan."

"No, it won't!"

Zhu Pei stared at Fan Ning with a suspicious face and said: "Although the house in the outer city is cheaper, it is not as much as 2,000 guan per mu, as far as I know, the cheapest is also 2,500 guan per mu, are you trying to be cheap and being deceived by others." ”

"It's another house in Tianbo Mansion, a house sold by Yang Wenguang, but it depends on the person, and he doesn't sell it to ordinary people."

"It turned out to be the house of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, there are more houses in their family, there are five or six other houses alone, but the quality is good, anyway, you take me to see it tomorrow, you can only buy it if I agree!"

Fanning rolled his eyes, why!

..........

The carriage soon entered the royal street, and saw the majestic alum tower from afar, the alum tower is a building complex composed of five six-story towers, covering an area of nearly 20 acres, the tower is built on the high white marble cornerstone, tall and majestic, and the Xuande city tower in the north and the Suzaku city tower in the south form the echoing trend in the north and south.

The five towers of the alum tower are connected by a flying bridge, the light and shade are connected, the overall building is undulating, the eaves and corners are staggered, and it is extraordinarily magnificent.

There are eight gates in the alum building, which means to welcome visitors from all directions, the carriage of the Zhu family slowly stopped at the south gate, the deacon standing at the door knows the carriage of the Zhu family, Zhu Yuanfeng explained to him just now, and his granddaughter and another distinguished guest will also come together, guaranteed by the Zhu family.

The deacon hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Juppe got out of the carriage and asked, "My grandfather has been here before, you know!" ”

"I know, Zhu Daguan specially explained that everyone in the carriage can enter."

There were only three people in the carriage, except for Ju Pei and Fanning, there was only the personal guard Jian Meizi, and everyone knew in their hearts that they would not prevent this kind of personal guard from entering.

The three of them then ascended the steps and followed the deacon to the alum tower.

"Jupe, is it your first time here too?" Fanning asked in a whisper.

"Nonsense! This kind of place I come to often? First time coming, of course. ”

"It feels like you're familiar with this place, how many times did I think you've been here."

Zhu Pei gave him a blank look, then ignored him, and Fanning smiled self-deprecatingly, and set his eyes on the palatial alum tower.

They entered the south building, the diameter of the other four side buildings such as the south building is much smaller than the main building, it looks little different from the layout of the general restaurant, there is a patio in the middle, and the stairs spiral around the patio, in addition to being more magnificent, but giving people a more crowded and oppressive feeling.

Zhu Pei quietly smiled at Fanning: "It is said that the essence of the alum tower is in the main building, and below the main building is a large garden, which is full of exotic flowers and plants, and beautiful courtesans and prostitutes can be seen everywhere in the garden, are you interested in taking a look?" ”

Fanning replied lazily, "Do you think I'd be interested in that kind of thing?" The good wine and good tea here are the only things that attract me. ”

"You're not interested now, and in another ten years, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull you back."

"If there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, what will you do in ten years?"

While joking, the two quickly went up to the third floor and came to a private room, "Two of you, please come in!" ”

The deacon pushed open the door, and the two walked in, this private room was a suite, and outside was the preparation room, and there were two beautiful maids, and a Leji with heavy makeup was sitting on the side holding a pipa and waiting.

Fan Ning and Zhu Pei walked into the inner room, there were two people sitting inside, one was naturally Zhu Yuanfeng, and the other was Zhao Zongshi, since Zhao Zongshi bought a component of Shi Potian, he took this opportunity to start getting close to the Zhu family, and he especially valued Zhu Zhaofeng, who had strong financial resources.

Although Zhu Zhaofeng has strong financial resources, he is a concubine after all, and his status in the Zhu family is not high, so Zhao Zongshi deliberately approached him, he knew it, and he was willing to invest in this snubbed royal family.

Fan Ning and Zhu Pei walked in, Zhao Zongshi hurriedly got up to salute, he and Zhu Pei didn't say hello much, he knew the relationship between Fan Ning and Zhu Pei from Akihito, but he was also optimistic about this pair of golden boys and girls.

"I've just been back for a few days, and I've been busy with the onboarding, so I really don't have time to meet Brother Zhao, please understand."

Fan Ning was really a little sorry, Zhao Zongshi was also studying in Taixue, and he didn't meet him, so he couldn't explain it.

Zhao Zongshi smiled slightly: "Fan Shaolang's position in Guozijian has already caused a sensation in Taixue, everyone is talking about the youngest official in Guozijian, he has become a positive eighth grade at a young age, how many people want to visit Fan Shaolang!" ”

Fan Ning touched his nose and smiled: "It turned out that Fan didn't have three hands and four feet, and he was the same as them, they would definitely be disappointed." ”

Fanning's humor made everyone laugh, and Zhu Yuanfeng smiled and waved his hand, "Sit down!" Let's try the best Meishou sake in Alum House, in fact, I think it is average, no different from Zhu Lou's wine! ”
