Led Huang Gonggong to the main hall, Xu Qian wanted to salute again, Huang Jin hurriedly stopped him, and said with a smile: "What is polite between you and our family?" This time, our family has come to congratulate you, but in fact, we have come here at the behest of His Majesty. ”

Xu Qian hurriedly said: "What is your majesty's message?" ”

Huang Jindao: "Your Majesty knows that you are newly married Yan'er, this time it is the title of the gold list, and a special house is given, this house has been repaired, and the furniture is also complete, Xu Zhuangyuan can move in at any time." ”

House ......

Xu Qian was stunned for a moment, his life problem is indeed very bad, being an official in the Beijing Division, the house is indeed a big deal, but the Xu family is not enough after all, in the eyes of the magnates in the Beijing Division, it is just a nouveau riche, although the nouveau riche is cool, but the problem is that the house is a big problem, you are an official, you naturally have to live in the inner city, you can't live with the three religions and nine streams in the outer city, and it is more convenient to be on duty at ordinary times, close to it.

However, the houses in the inner city are expensive, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are sky-high, and more importantly, there are very few people who sell them, and almost no one sells them in the market.

After all, it is a shame for dignitaries to sell their houses, even if they plan to move elsewhere, there is no way to sell this old house, so it's a big deal to keep it and let the old servants in the family take care of it.

And now is not the time when Emperor Hongwu was in the early Ming Dynasty, Hongwu was a bad star, life and death were all in one thought, especially for these nobles and officials, it was even more upheld in the belief that it was uncomfortable not to kill, and it was like a day for decades, and it never stopped.

People are dead, naturally have to sell the house, so in the early Ming Dynasty, the house in the inner city was extremely low, and even a few hundred taels of silver could take down a large mansion, at that time, ordinary people and rich people were not allowed to come in to buy a house, even if you were asked to buy it, you didn't dare to ask for it, and the officials killed a stubble for a stubble. The aristocracy is even more miserable, almost the end of a pot, and dozens or hundreds of mansions have to be vacated for any major case, and Hongwu never kills more than one, and pursues the practice of cutting grass and eradicating the roots, so at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the inner city was very depressed.

It's just that it's different now, now an official is an official, as long as you don't rebel. There is no possibility of finishing, even if it is Zhishi, it is also a gentry family, this house naturally has to be kept, and future generations will also enter Beijing for the exam. There is no reason to sell.

In fact, the Gui family has a house, it is a courtyard, but it is some distance from the inner city, after all, it is not very convenient, although Xu Qian has the intention to buy it at a low price, but it is too far, and the matter has been delayed. Now that there is a house to send, there is no need to be polite if there is anything to say.

Xu Qian's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty is really a holy master. ”

When he's saying things like that. I'm really not afraid that God will send down thunder to chop him to death.

Now that the title of the gold list is about to enter the cabinet to be edicted, his wife is married, and the house is also available. Xu Qian finally felt that his life was quite perfect, but when he looked at Huang Jin. But I found that Huang Jin's face was not very good, and he said in his heart that the emperor gave me a house, it's about your, what are you sad about? Could this dead eunuch be jealous? If you are jealous, you can also take a top spot if you have something.

Xu Qian couldn't help asking: "Father-in-law Huang, where is this house?" ”

Huang Jin said the address, Xu Qian was full of interest at this time, and said: "It's better for Huang Gonggong to take the students to have a look, since it is a royal house, it is good to open your eyes." ”

Huang Jin hurriedly shook his head and said: "Our family will rush back to the palace to resume their lives later, so I won't accompany you, the people there have already been instructed, and the champion can see when he wants to see it, and move when he wants to." ”

Xu Qian felt that this Huang Jin was getting more and more weird today, usually this dead eunuch was very enthusiastic about himself, just take a look, how much could he delay? However, he refused, and Xu Qian didn't bother to let him lead the way, so he wrote down the address.

Huang Jin asked him again: "Did you go to the Ministry of Officials today?" ”

Xu Qian knew that Huang Jin was inquiring about his going to the ministry, and he must have wanted to return to the Son of Heaven, so he told him about today's events, Huang Jin nodded, got up and said goodbye: "Our family is leaving, there is no need to send each other." ”

With that, Huang Jin left in a hurry.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the evening of the same day, a large group of people of the Xu family set off in a mighty manner and followed the address to find the house of the imperial gift.

At the beginning, everyone didn't put this house in their eyes, most people thought that the things given by the emperor were treasures, but in fact, for the dignitaries, but all the royal gifts were often worthless things, and the behavior of the royal mansion was rare, and it could almost be described as rare, even if it was a royal gift, it was just an ordinary house, the scale would not be very large, as for the decoration, it was needless to mention, most of them were left by the official courtyard of the prisoner, and they may not have been repaired for several years.

But when he found the house according to the address Huang Jin said, Xu Qian was shocked, in fact, it was not only Xu Qian who was shocked, but also Xu Chang, Gui Zhi'er, and a few cousins who came with him were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a while.

This is a new house, covering an area of nearly fifty acres, several heavy yards, paved with bricks on the ground, this brick is not an ordinary brick, but the commonly known Qin brick, there is a sentence called Qin brick Han tile, this Qin brick is not affordable for ordinary people, that is, the palace, is also used this kind of bricks, because it is not easy to fire, even ordinary dignitaries do not have this style.

The front door is three open, the middle door is about two zhang wide, the stone lions on both sides are standing, the threshold is also extremely high, the few doors of the door are different from other people's houses at a glance, and Xu Qian feels like a warrior, Xu Chang has sharp eyes, and whispered to Xu Qian: "These people are fans, you pay attention to their shoes." ”

Fanzi generally stepped on moire boots, and although these people were wearing regular clothes, but the boots were not changed, Xu Qian stepped forward to negotiate with them, reported his name, these people hurriedly smiled: "Huang Gonggong has orders, just look forward to Xu Zhuangyuan coming, let's temporarily watch the door for Zhuangyuan, when Zhuangyuan Gong moves, the brothers will withdraw." Does the champion want to see the house? Please come inside. ”

Xu Qian took Gui Zhi'er and the Xu family into it together, as soon as he entered the door, the inside suddenly opened up, there was no patio in the vestibule, but it was a small lake, and the lake was connected with a river outside, in order to prevent someone from stealing in, a sluice gate was set up, an artificial pavilion was set up in the lake, and a stone road with a stone fence led to the stone pavilion.

Xu Qian couldn't help but be speechless, and said: "Even the prince's palace doesn't have such a grandeur, this is an inner city." ”

Gui Zhi'er saw that her cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't help but say: "It's not wrong, Xianggong, it's good to raise goldfish in this lake, and we can watch the fish in the pavilion in the future." ”

Xu Qian thought to himself: "Actually, it's good to raise turtles, and you can eat them when you raise them, and make up for them!" But he said: "Boating on the lake and watching the sparkling water of the lake is indeed a beautiful thing." ”

Everyone immediately acted separately, each went to see the house, there are hundreds of rooms here, the front hall, the small hall, the flower hall, the back hall are all complete, there are several attics, and there are small courtyards in the courtyard, almost all the functions that this mansion can have.

Xu Qian couldn't help but be excited, and couldn't help but sigh: "Emperor Shengming, you see, the houses are all newly built, could it be that the emperor expected that I was going to go to high school, so he secretly ordered someone to build it?" Ay...... Your Majesty is really worried, tomorrow I will go to the palace to thank my husband. ”

Gui Zhi'er suddenly thought of something, calmed down, and said: "Thank you for your gratitude, but you must also be relaxed, you can't agree to everything, for some unreasonable requests, as a courtier, you must refuse politely." ”

Xu Qian suddenly remembered the Miss Lu family, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Think about it in the long run, think about it in the long run." Ay...... The house is not good, and my legs and feet are sore, so let's go to the attic to have a look. ”

After reading the house, I was exhausted, but the excitement did not pass, and I slept on the third watch, but when I didn't get to the end of the second day, I was called up by Xu Chang.

Xu Qian changed into his official uniform, and the cyan round pattern official robe was worn on his body, which made Xu Qian have a bit of majesty without anger and self-authority, wearing a black veil, the whole person became a lot older, and Gui Zhi'er was also forced to get up early and give Xu Qian a crown, and couldn't help but quip: "My father-in-law seems to have grown a few years older all of a sudden, well, don't put down your hands, but this belt is not easy to tie." ”

After some fiddling, Xu Qian arrived at the door, and did not forget to instruct: "The matter of moving must be done quickly, I may have a lot of official business to be busy these days, but I have to trouble Mrs. ”

Gui Zhi'er nodded and said: "The most difficult thing to do is the servants in the house, such a big mansion, there must be a lot of errands and caretakers, it really can't be done, I asked my brother to invite some from the Gui family, after all, I know the roots, rest assured." ”

Xu Qian said: "You can do it." After that, he went out of the room, and when he arrived at the courtyard gate, Xu Han was also ready to go on duty, he was wearing a fish suit, but he was carrying a gong in his hand, and he knocked it hard and shouted: "The champion is on duty." ”

Beat the gongs and drums early in the morning, and the future generations will definitely be beaten, but at this time, it is an auspicious celebration, but it is nothing, and the Xu family is not a role that can be bullied, to put it mildly, at least in this area, only the Xu family bullies people, and no one else dares to beat the Xu family.

Xu Qian sat in the sedan chair, his mood had calmed down, he was also quite looking forward to the point on duty, this was the first day of work, but he didn't know how this official master worked, especially this Hanlin, in fact, although he heard some information about the corners, but after all, he had no personal experience, after all, he was a little curious.
