Chapter 191: New House
Qi Xuansu came out of Ziwei Hall and made an appointment with Qi Niang to go to Taishangfang to see the house.
Not to mention the identities of Qi Niang and Qi Xuansu, just say that the amount of transactions involved is really not a small amount, Tianji Hall attaches great importance to it, and is personally accompanied by a deputy hall master.
Since it is a real person's house, it is natural: there is a great deal of Confucianism in talking and laughing, and there is no white ding. The neighbors are not ordinary people.
This mansion dates back to the Xuansheng era and was originally the residence of Yuying Zhenren. This Yuying Zhenren is the princess of the royal family of the previous dynasty, but she took refuge in Xuansheng early, so Xuansheng named her a real person, and she is also one of the first thirty-six real people who participated in it.
This princess of the former dynasty has been a lifelong dedicator, has not married, and has no heirs. After her death, she has changed several masters, all of whom are prominent.
Although it has been idle for about six years, it does not look dilapidated and desolate, at most it is a little deserted and unpopular, but it is cleaned by someone every day, and it is still well preserved.
Qi Xuansu and Qi Niang came to the back garden first, it is now late spring, the whole garden is lush and green, and then look at the layout of the pavilions and pavilions, they are all excellent. It is rare to have living water, and it is even more rare.
Qi Xuansu was very satisfied.
His hometown is far away from Xuan, he is not in Yujing on weekdays, when he is in Yujing, every time he rushes to Xuandu from Haichanfang, because Yujing is not allowed to fly, and all kinds of magic spells are not allowed to move, but there is no limit to running, but there is a loss of manners, not good-looking, so you have to walk over slowly, after a long time, it is very tiring.
But it's different in Taishangfang, not far from the gate of the square is the city gate of Xuandu, which is similar to living in Xuandu.
Qi Niang carried her hands behind her back, looked left and right, unfazed, and occasionally commented on two sentences: "This water pavilion is the style of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and it seems that it was left by the eldest princess Xuanzhen." ”
The deputy hall master of Tianji Hall is surnamed Lu, although he doesn't know the identity of Qi Niang, but he recognizes Qi Xuansu, the vice hall master of Qi who is in the limelight, and then contacts Qi Niang and the real person in charge of Tianji Hall to talk and laugh, naturally he doesn't dare to treat Qi Niang as an ordinary person, but has some kind of enlightenment.
To say that Deputy Hall Master Qi and this woman are lovers, that is nonsense, not to mention Deputy Hall Master Zhang, even the age is much different, not a generation at all.
It's like a mother and son, or a pretty strong kind of mother. This Qi deputy hall master jumped to the throne at a young age, to say that he has no background, it is a lie. There have always been rumors that Deputy Hall Master Qi is the illegitimate son of an unspeakably noble person, so isn't this woman the outer room of that big man?
This big man must not be a person of the Taiping Dao, and the possibility of Zhengyi is not great, because Zhengyi is headed by the Zhang family, if the deputy hall master of Qi has the blood of the Zhang family, then there is no reason to marry the daughter of the Zhang family, and most of them are the true way.
The higher the realm cultivation, the more difficult it is for the heirs, and they can only have children when the young realm is low, and judging from the age of the deputy hall master of Qi, six generations of disciples can be excluded. Among the seven generations of disciples, only a few people such as Donghua Zhenren seem to be eligible. But Donghua Zhenren didn't marry a wife, he really wanted to have a son, so why hide it?
If Donghua Zhenren knew Deputy Hall Master Lu's thoughts, I am afraid that he would have to smile bitterly, he didn't want to have such a blessing, his son was still between the two, and he couldn't afford it in the outer room.
Anyway, in the eyes of Deputy Hall Master Lu, this "noble lady" must be something he can't afford to provoke, so whenever Qi Niang opens his mouth to comment, he echoes it, and praises Qi Niang for his knowledge, but it makes Qi Niang feel good - Qi Niang knows that this is a whisker patting horse, but who doesn't like whisker patting a horse?
The three of them went out of the garden and turned to a few other places, Qi Niang said to Qi Xuansu: "You see where it is not suitable, as long as the overall framework is not moved, you can modify some details slightly." You said yes, Deputy Hall Master Lu. The second half of the sentence was said to Deputy Hall Master Lu.
Deputy Hall Master Lu hurriedly said, "That's right. ”
Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "I'll ask Qingxiao again to see if she has any opinions." ”
Qi Niang snorted lightly and did not speak.
Deputy Hall Master Lu also saw that this lady didn't like her future daughter-in-law very much, she was really magnificent, and she didn't even pay attention to the daughter of the Zhang family, one of the three shows of the Daomen.
Speaking of the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, when there was Confucianism in the past, there was still a word "filial piety" pressed, what the mother-in-law said was what it was, and the daughter-in-law could only listen to the standing rules, otherwise it would be unfilial. Now that Confucianism has been overthrown, and it has begun to pay attention to equality, a strong old lady meets a strong wife, and I don't know what to do, and the deputy hall master of Qi is afraid that he will not be caught in the middle of the two sides and is not a person.
In fact, Qi Xuansu is not so pessimistic, he naturally thought about this problem, and thought about it at best, if he can't mediate in the middle, just balance in the middle, so that both sides can ask for him, instead of him being flattened and rounded by both sides, as for whether he has this means, that is later.
The so-called three roads and four entrances, in fact, the four entrances are very easy to understand, in fact, it is to describe the layout of the yard. If the yard is a "mouth" shape, this is a entry; If the yard is in the shape of a "day", this is two entrances; If the yard is a "目" zigzag, it is three entrances, and so on. This house is said to be four entrances, and if you count the garden, it can be regarded as five entrances.
If "entering" is a horizontal division, then "road" is a vertical division, criss-crossing, dividing the mansion into squares, that is, relatively independent courtyards.
This house is three roads, three into the east road, three into the west road, and four into the middle road, so that the courtyard of the three roads constitutes a "convex" shape, and the middle road is longer than the east and west two roads. So with a "concave" shaped garden, the word "concave" is long left and right and short in the middle, the left and right length just correspond to the east and west two roads with only three entrances, and the middle short is just where the lake is located, the garden is divided into two parts, east and west, corresponding to the four entrances of the middle road, so the whole mansion is still square.
As the head of the family, he naturally lives in the middle of the road, generally the first two entrances are used as the main hall living room, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu live in the third entrance, and the elders like Qi Niang live in the fourth entrance. As for the east and west roads, they were either used as guest rooms and residences for the people of the province, or as residences for the sons and daughters.
I have to say that the house is really big, and it took more than half an hour to look at it all the way. m.
Qi Niang remembered something and said, "If you have no opinion, then this matter is settled, don't forget to say hello to the Zhang family." ”
Qi Xuansu was stunned: "What do you say hello?" ”
Because in front of Deputy Hall Master Lu, he was embarrassed to say the second half of the sentence, of course this house is good, but he can't stop the Zhang family, who have lived in the Dazhen Mansion for generations, so it's not good to show off, right?
Qi Niang saw Qi Xuansu's thoughts at a glance, and said angrily and funny: "Although a big family like the Zhang family will also marry a house, it belongs to the private property of the Zhang family's girl, as long as it is not a husband and wife separation, it is generally idle, or used for other purposes, and the place to live is still your house." Their dowry included all sorts of new furniture, which were not ready-made, but were specially made to match the dimensions of the house. If you don't notify the Zhang family and let them send a craftsman to measure the size and prepare early, will the Zhang family make it for you when the wedding comes? Or let the Heavenly Master use the immortal method to change a set for you? ”
Qi Xuansu sneered: "If you don't mention it, I really don't know that there are these statements." ”
This is not the privilege of the family, and the ordinary people are also married to make furniture, which is nothing more than the difference between workmanship and materials. It's just that no one has ever taught Qi Xuansu this, he really doesn't know. He also thought that it was enough to use the old furniture existing in the house, and he didn't want to think about the reason why the newlyweds could use the old furniture for the new house and the new marriage.
This is also one of the reasons why Qi Niang specially bought a new house for Qi Xuansu, if you use Qi Xuansu's old house, it is indifferent to fame and fortune, and it also responds to the frugality of Daozu, the Zhang family is going to die of embarrassment, this small house can put a few pieces of furniture, can it be said that the dignified Zhang family married Zhang Yuelu two tables and four chairs, and it is not regarded as a joke by the Li family, after all, the Li family directly gave the righteous daughter Li Qingnu a Wutong Garden.
Qi Niang continued: "Borneo has a lot of red sandalwood, and the furniture makes the Zhang family mainly use red sandalwood. ”
Qi Xuansu was speechless when he heard it, and secretly said that Qi Niang's bleeding this time was to be made up for from the Zhang family.
The good news is that Daomen advocates frugality and has saved a lot of procedures, that is, a family like the Zhang family has too much inertia, even when Xuansheng is alive, they still do their own thing in this kind of thing, and they will seem cumbersome, mainly dowry and dowry. If Zhang Yuelu was also from the Vientiane Dao Palace, the two of them could have nothing at all, and pull a few people from the street to act as witnesses and guests, just like the wedding banquet that made them acquaint.
As for the dowry, it is naturally handled by Qi Niang, which is nothing compared to the sky-high price of this house. Qi Niang is also the owner of Qibaofang, and she can purchase the corresponding things at a low price lower than the cost price.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, it is really not easy to marry the daughter of a big family, if you can't even hold up this show, everything is handled by the Zhang family, then it is really a son-in-law.
Qi Niang finally said: "If you have no opinion, we will go to Tianji Hall to handle the paperwork now." ”
Qi Xuansu nodded rather heavily.
One million 450,000 Taiping money is a mountain of silver.
Deputy Hall Master Lu was taken aback, he thought that this noble lady who was not like a noble lady would have to discuss it with the man behind him, but he didn't expect to make a decision directly, what a big family background this is.
The three of them returned to Tianji Hall, Deputy Hall Master Lu personally took the documents that had been prepared, and Qi Niang took out a wooden box from Sumeru, pushed open the lid of the box, and saw that it was full of brand-new official tickets with a denomination of 10,000.
Qi Xuansu had never seen so much money in his life. The amount given by Qingwei Zhenren is just an authority, but he didn't really give him so many official tickets, not to mention that this box is far more than one million.
Qi Niang counted out one hundred and forty-five official tickets, folded into a pile, about the thickness of a knuckle and a half.
After the Taoist priests of Tianji Hall collected the money, they issued a document similar to a basket, on which only Qi Xuansu's name was written, and there was no Qi Niang or Zhang Yuelu.
Because Zhang Yuelu has his own dowry house, he also can't write Qi Xuansu's name. Daomen advocates equality and does not deliberately protect the weaker party, so the two live in the same place, but the property is counted separately, and people will not get rich overnight by getting married. In the event of accidental death, the property after death will be inherited in the order of will, children, parents, Taoist couples, masters and apprentices, and relatives. If there is nothing, it will be handed over to the door.
As for the fact that there is no name of Qi Niang, the person who contributed the money, on the contract document, it can only be said that it is a generous gift from Qi Niang.
Qi Xuansu looked at the piece of paper in his hand and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Some people died, but not completely......
