Chapter 10 The Zhou family has a daughter
All the way to the dust, on the lively Jinling Yufang Street, at this time Li Yuan was dressed in a purple robe given by the emperor himself, with a sword made by the palace craftsman around his waist, riding a high-headed horse, and there was a small official behind him carrying large and small boxes to follow behind, which in addition to the gold and silver things rewarded by the emperor, it is now a combination of things for the official body, such as miscellaneous utensils such as ceremonial staffs, cards, gongs, etc.
This kind of battle attracted the surrounding people to stop and watch curiously, but they knew that it was a noble person traveling, and they scattered on both sides of the street with interest, not daring to get too close.
Liu Jiangsheng and Luo Erhu stood at the door of the Zhusi Ya early and looked forward to it, and saw Li Yuan riding a big horse from a distance, after the purple robe on his body, Liu Jiangsheng couldn't say anything excitedly, and the black man Luo Erhu just looked at the big and small boxes behind Li Yuan, and couldn't move his mind for a long time, listening to the crisp and gradually approaching sound of horses' hooves, presumably his young heart was trampled by Li Yuan again.
Picking up the brothers, Li Yuan and the three of them followed the little eunuch Wednesday from the fish market to the west of the city, crossed the drinking Hongqiao, and came to the destination, which is next to the Bingling Gong Temple.
Standing in front of the gate of the other courtyard, after all, Zhou Er lost his yang roots, and he had not ridden a horse for a long time, he was so tired that he was out of breath, and he stayed until he slowed down for a while, and then he respectfully said to Li Yuan: "My lord, this is it!" ”
Li Yuan looked at it, although he had never entered, but from the door wall of this courtyard, it can be seen that it occupies a huge area, the two stone-faced Pixiu statues at the door, and the tall eaves of the mansion door, showing the bearing and demeanor of the original owner.
Thinking that he was about to become the master of this place, Li Yuan was really excited, and when he was about to enter, he heard the two brothers behind him already muttering.
Luo Erhu still looked so reckless, carefully wiped the door of the house with his cuffs, and roared: "Big brother, this yard is good!" ”
Liu Jiangsheng swallowed his saliva, but his face was worried, and after scanning everyone, he leaned over to Li Yuan and whispered, "This house is ...... Brother Yuan, how much money does this cost! ”
Li Yuan shook his head at Liu Jiangsheng, smiled knowingly, and then heard Wednesday call softly: "My lord, please!" The three brothers strode into the courtyard.
A tall gatehouse that catches your eye, this big courtyard has a total of five entrances, it is really the residence of the wealthy and wealthy, there is a garden with a pavilion in the middle of each courtyard, people come from the beginning to the end, the lines are extremely smooth, extremely comfortable.
There is also a small bridge and flowing water in the courtyard, and there are huge stones that I don't know if it is moved from Jilong Mountain in the north of the city, one south and one north, the town is this mansion, and the feng shui is also very exquisite.
Just as he was about to linger, a woman's coquettish shout came from out of nowhere in the courtyard: "Wednesday, you dog slave who eats inside and outside!" Dad is not in Jinling, are you going to lead someone to buy my yard?! ”
Everyone was stunned for a while, and Li Yuan asked with some confusion: "Is there anyone still living here?" ”
Wednesday must have been unclear, but he just glanced at it hurriedly, then bowed down and said, "This is the owner's house......
Luo Erhu couldn't control it again, laughed and shouted: "Big brother, this dare is good, buy a yard and give a girl!" ”
Li Yuan glanced at it helplessly: "Nonsense!" ”
In a moment, a girl in a pink dress and a skirt walked in front of Li Yuan and the others surrounded by a group of maidservants. Xu is Li Yuan in this era, he hasn't seen the opposite sex seriously for too long, and the appearance of this girl is really amazing.
The standard Southern Tang hairstyle, a refreshing bunch of buns, a little bangs falling down in front of the jade-like white forehead, a ruddy small mouth, a straight pretty nose, a pair of eyebrows like the moon, and a childish melon seed face has a little charm and touching.
At this time, the girl held her green little hands flat, and walked with a look of indignation, like a beautiful little goblin.
At this time, the two words beautiful were already running out of words, and Li Yuan praised in his heart, then four words, shocking!
I saw that the girl rushed to Li Yuan without hesitation under the blazing gaze of the crowd, and scolded: "Is it you, a thief, who wants to forcibly buy my yard?" Seeing that you look handsome, I'm afraid it's in vain! ”
After being scolded in person, Li Yuan waved his hand to stop Luo Erhu, who was about to have a seizure, and turned his head gloomily to look at the uneasy little eunuch beside him: "Forced to buy?" Wednesday, what's going on? I only asked Young Eunuch Liu to help me find a house, how can you let me do things that bully the people and do things of forcible robbery? ”
"I can't see that you're a reasonable person!" The girl only glanced at Li Yuan, and then pointed at Zhou Zhou'er and accused him unrelentingly: "Zhou Zhou'er, you are so good that you are my Zhou family, why did you enter the palace and help them do such a thing?" ”
Attacked from both sides, Rao is a delicate person in the palace, and Wednesday is also miserable: "This ......"
Li Yuan said calmly: "Don't worry, you can tell the truth, and you must not be deceived." ”
Zhou Zhou'er seemed to be very afraid of the girl, moved a little closer to Li Yuan, and then whispered: "Lord Li, is the villain too long?" Don't dare to deceive adults! The house here is the villain's courtyard before entering the palace, the original owner's courtyard, this is my young lady. Recently, this courtyard is on sale, and how many literati and wealthy businessmen are staring at it! Originally, Young Eunuch Liu wanted to buy it by himself, doesn't this mean that Lord Li wants to find a house now? Young Eunuch Liu asked the villain to bring the adults here. ”
"Is this yard really selling?"
Wednesday raised his hand with an innocent face: "If you don't believe it, you can feel free to ask!" ”
"In that case, there would be no forced buying?"
"That's nature!"
Li Yuan hurried for several days, and entered the palace again, and he didn't want to argue, so he arched his hand at the girl with a solemn face and said, "This young lady, since your yard is for sale, why do you force it to buy it?" In the next trek to Jinling, it is really tiring, and you can open your mouth to spend more money, and it doesn't matter how much money you spend. ”
I don't know which sentence stimulated this girl, so she directly crossed her jade arm and pouted: "You are so unreasonable!" My yard is indeed being sold, but who do I want to sell it to, and I don't sell it to a villain like you who is in a party for personal gain and blinds the Holy Hearing! ”
Li Yuan was stunned, good guy, it's the word party again. Could it be that this master's family has a grudge against Chen Jue? This time it was recommended by Liu Shaojian, and this person must be inseparable from Chen Jue. It's bad, your reputation is bad!
After thinking about it, he could only say with a wry smile: "Miss, what do you mean by this?" I have no grievances with you, why do you slander? When I went to Jinling today, I didn't know anyone except Young Eunuch Liu, and I only saw Your Majesty once. ”
The girl looked at Li Yuan quietly for a moment, and said with a hint of hesitation: "Really? ”
Li Yuan's mind was hot, his hands were behind his back, and he suddenly approached the girl and said seriously: "It's more real than pearls." ”
In this era of strict feudal etiquette and dogma, even if the girl is arrogant, she was caught off guard by Li Yuan's sudden move, making her face red and her heart beating, and she whispered timidly: "You, what do you mean?" Is there a fake pearl? ”
Then he gritted his silver teeth and said to himself, "So I have wronged you!" ”
As if he had succeeded, Li Yuan took a step back and said with a smile: "Miss is smart. Can you give me a price, I am very satisfied with this yard. ”
"This yard was my Aunt's favorite when she was alive, and the flowers and plants in the yard were planted by her. It's a pity that she left early, and her father has to sell it, what ......is the price?" The girl was already ashamed at this time, where did she dare to look directly at Li Yuan, and said to herself: "Okay, if the son really likes it, buy it for two thousand yuan!" ”
As soon as the price was reported, Li Yuan hadn't opened his mouth yet, and the first blow of this astronomical figure was Luo Erhu, who jumped out directly, and said with a red face: "Two thousand guan!" You girls might as well buy my eldest brother directly! (Note: The private money has been able to meet the expenses of a family of three for a month)
Li Yuan thought about it, but he still put on the majesty of the eldest brother seriously: "Stand down!" Don't be foolish! ”
Li Yuan didn't know whether these two thousand guan were suitable or not, but with the rewards he had received these days, it was more than enough.
Since he talked about the step of buying and selling, Li Yuan couldn't let Zhou'er, who had followed all the way, seem to have no sense of existence, in the end, he was from the palace, so he asked casually: "Zhou'er, I haven't bought a house, is this price fair?" ”
Seeing Li Yuan asking, Zhou Er smiled without thinking: "The location of this courtyard is excellent, and two thousand guan is a bit expensive, but it is reasonable!" ”
Li Yuan waved his hand, full of pride: "Then buy it!" Miss, can I pay for two hundred taels of gold? ”
The girl was still reserved, but replied in a crisp voice, "Gold?" It's a lot, and it's good if the son agrees. Qiu'er, get the title deed! ”
The two conveniences found a pavilion in the courtyard and sat down, and Li Yuan also ordered someone to take Huang Chengcheng's twenty ingots, and then took the title deed handed by the girl and inspected it carefully.
In fact, Li Yuan is not afraid of cheating, after all, it is the location recommended by Liu Shaojian, plus the girl's dress and speech, it is not that a high-ranking family can't pretend, but Li Yuan is quite interested in these ancient documents like historical materials, so he read it for a while.
After glancing at the name of the original owner of the payment, Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked at the girl and asked, "Ling Zun is Lord Zhou Zong?" ”
Asked about the name of the parents, I don't know what the girl was thinking, the blush went directly from her neck, and she just replied softly: "Hmm." ”
For some reason, Li Yuan's eyes lit up, regardless of whether it was in line with etiquette or not, he continued to ask: "Dare to ask Miss's name?" ”
The girl stared at the handsome young man with an earnest face for a while, and her heart was already turbulent, and she couldn't bear to be shy for a long time before she replied, "Little girl Zhou Ehuang." ”
