Furong Street is also famous in the capital, although it is not as rich as Green Willow Lane, but it is also a place where new aristocrats live. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Green Willow Lane can be regarded as a real street of wealthy nobles, such as Jingzhou Chu family, Jingguo Mansion Guo family, Pingnan Boyang family, Jingwang Mansion, Prince Cheng's Mansion and other wealthy mansions are gathered on this street of only a few hundred meters.

The people of the capital once laughed that officials above the third grade may have the opportunity to bend over and walk in Green Willow Lane, but below the third grade, they can only walk on their knees, because you can almost meet a big man every few steps, and the rank and power are definitely much more powerful than you.

Furong Street was different, it was originally just an ordinary street, inhabited by some wealthy merchants, and some wealthy officials and military officers, but the Shen family's almost crazy rebellion twenty years ago completely changed the pattern of the capital.

At that time, there was Shen Shi, a general who was in charge of nearly thirty percent of the elite army of the Great Liang, outside the Shen family, and the most favored Shen Concubine in the palace.

And the Shen family was naturally unwilling to squeeze into the green willow lane full of old door valves in a low voice, so they deliberately distanced themselves from the green willow lane, and opened up their own luxury manor on the bank of the Qingshui River in the east of the city, and the small families attached to the Shen family naturally lived near the Shen family and gathered together in the east of the city, and the momentum was not weaker than that of the green willow lane for a while.

It was only later that the Shen family rebelled, and Emperor Liang cleared the Shen family with iron and blood at the cost of trying most of the elite in his hands, and the Lin family, who were good friends with the Shen family, were naturally swept away.

The surviving small families have also tacitly moved out of the gradually abandoned East City, and Furong Street, which is only three streets away from Green Willow Lane and closer to the palace, has naturally become the first choice.

Guan He smiled lightly and took Chu Nan's arm, and walked on Furong Street casually, except for the vague memories of his childhood, it was the first time for him to walk on such a street full of nobles so openly, and maybe it won't be long before he can have a courtyard of his own here.

Chu Nan glanced lightly at Tang Chop, who was following behind, shook his head with a cold snort, and casually looked at the buildings on both sides of the street.

Tang lowered his head, for embarrassment: "It's not that I don't care, but I can't do anything." There are indeed many mansions in Dongcheng, but a fire burned for several days more than ten years ago, and now it is completely deserted, and there are no mansions worth buying. ”

Guan He tilted his head to look at Chu Nan and asked softly, "Why do you have to go to Dongcheng to buy a yard, it is very barren now, and there are no more people." ”

Chu Nan chuckled and said, "Isn't that where you lived when you were a child?" Besides, what's wrong with being secluded, there are fewer people and fewer things. But since I didn't find a suitable one, it's not bad to buy one on Furong Street, and then move there when I find a suitable one. ”

Guan He's heart was sweet, and he hugged Chu Nan's arm tighter, even if he said that, it could make Guan He feel that he really cared about himself.

There was a person on the street corner in front, short and fat, obviously a good brocade, wearing her body had the feeling of a village woman, and there was a faint birthmark on her face, she was about forty years old, but she combed the sideburns of a girl who had not been out of the cabinet, and it looked weird.

The man only glanced at Chu Nan and Yangmei lightly when he saw it, and waved his hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to see the courtyard." ”

This person is the famous five girls on Furong Street and even in the capital, although the appearance is not good, the figure is quite ugly, but the surname is impatient and rude, and the vision is outrageous, it is a rare old girl who grows to the age of forty but still can't get married, and even slowly, everyone forgets her real name, no matter which one sees it, it is called a five girl, but I don't know if it's because she ranks fifth or she is nearly fifty years old.

Although the five girls are not likable, they are celebrities on Furong Street, and many nobles on this street are quite polite to her, and the reasons are also very complicated, in addition to her bizarre background, the biggest reason is that she is the person with the most properties on Furong Street, even if she is not buying her house, it is mostly introduced by her.

The five girls have traveled extensively, so they naturally know Chu Nan and Guan He, and they also know that Chu Nan came to buy the house mostly to settle this as an Oiran concubine, so she was a little unhappy, and even her attitude towards the two of them was much worse.

Guan He Bingxue was smart, as if she had guessed the thoughts of the five girls, let go of Chu Nan and stepped forward to hold the five girls' thick arms, and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm afraid I'm going to live in this Furong Street in the future, so I have to rely on you to take care of it, and I have to help my sister pick a good yard for a while." ”

The fifth girl was screamed by Guan He's sweet sister, and shook her round fat face with a smile, her small eyes had narrowed into a thin line, but she looked at the friendly and beautiful Guan He, the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it became, and she glanced at Chu Nan in her heart, but she began to think that Guan He was not worth it, and frowned: "I said that the kid of the Chu family, don't like the new and hate the old in the future, Guan He's sister is so beautiful and sensible, you will really be punished if you fail her." ”

Chu Nan walked behind weakly, Guan He just had a sweeter mouth, and she had just come into contact, how did you know that she was sensible? As for the curse, it was too far.

Guan He glanced at Chu Nan with a smile, and said softly to the fifth girl: "Sister, don't scare him, he treats me very well, or he will accompany me here to pick a yard." ”

The fifth girl frowned, and said bitterly: "Sister, why are you so stupid? If he really cares about you, he should take you to the Chu family, can't the huge Chu family still find a place to live?"

Guan He followed the five girls into a courtyard, and explained to Chu Nan while looking at the courtyard: "My sister has wronged him, and he will move out of the Chu family in a few days, after all, he has already started a family, and it is time to move out, and the eldest lady of the Yang family will also move out at that time." ”

The fifth girl's face slowed down a lot, and she still snorted coldly at Chu Nan, walked outside with Guan He, and said: "That's what I thought about, I thought he was like those adults again, just to find a place to raise an outer room, so I took you to this small and hidden courtyard." That's not the right thing to say, so I'll take you to a few other places. ”

Chu Nan smiled stupidly, but did not speak, this fifth girl is very arrogant, and her speech is not likable, but her mind is delicate enough, the key is to be honest enough, not to hide it, and at this moment, she will mingle with Guan He's sisters and sisters, no wonder she can eat well on this Furong Street.

Guan He is also very good at being a person, and constantly asks the five girls about the specific situation of Furong Street, not only to get closer, but also to understand more about the situation, and to prepare for living here in the future.

The fifth girl was very familiar with this place, and pointed to a few courtyards next to her casually, and said: "There is a lion in front of the door, which is the residence of Lord Leng, the commander of the Beijing Praetorian Guard, next to it is Qian Shangshu of the household department, and on the opposite side is Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Officials, and there are also Lord Sun of the Ministry of Rites and Qian Shangshu of the Ministry of Households. ”

Guan He showed a surprised expression at the right time, and sighed: "Sister is really familiar with this place." ”

The fifth girl smiled proudly and said, "Yes, some of them still bought the mansion from me, and the others are also my introducers, and their wives often invite me over for tea." ”

Chu Nan sighed secretly, it turned out that he was not only a real estate developer, but also a real estate agent, and the objects of the transaction were all big people with high official positions, but this business was not small, and asked casually: "How did the fifth girl get these properties? This may not have been anything before, but these yards are too valuable, and a random yard will always cost tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

The fifth girl took out a bunch of keys from her waist, opened the courtyard door and invited a few people in, and said lightly: "When the Shen family rebelled, the thieves hidden in the capital stormed the palace, and the forbidden army resisted the rebels at the head of the city, and the situation was very critical for a while. That is the father is over sixty years old, before he was just a pawn who had guarded the city gate all his life, but he went to the palace gate to block the thieves regardless of the danger and the neighbors, and later Lord Chu brought people back in time to help, repelled the thieves who stormed the palace gate, and saved the royal family. It's just that my father and many villagers didn't come back, and this street was later washed by anti-thieves, only I survived, and with His Majesty's will, these courtyards all fell into my hands. ”

Guan He gently grabbed the arm of the fifth girl, Chu Nan sighed, his eyes were full of apologies, Da Liang always has no shortage of such hot-blooded men.

The fifth girl didn't care, waved her hand and said: "It's been a matter of many years, don't you kill a lot of people in Jiangnan, kid of the Chu family?" You have backbone and courage, you are worthy of being born in Jiangmen, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of you, let alone show you these houses." ”

Chu Nan smiled, if he blindly dwelled on this topic, it would be hypocritical, and looked at the courtyard casually, of course this place cannot be compared with the Chu family, but the three in and three out is much bigger than the previous one, enough to live, so he nodded and said: "This courtyard is good, I don't know what the price is." ”

Guan He took the hand of the fifth girl and chuckled: "Sister does you have other yards, although this place is good, but I look at the location is still a little off, it is better to take my sister to see a few more places, we can pick a good place, of course, the price has to be taken care of by my sister, and we don't have much silver in our hands." ”

The fifth girl nodded, turned her head and taught Chu Nan a lesson: "Look at how thoughtful Sister Guan He is, this is what it looks like to live at home!"

Chu Nan smiled stupidly, glared at Guan He, who was full of smugness, and turned his head away with a cold snort.

The fifth girl took Guan He and walked outside, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my sister likes my sister very much, but she won't be like other black-hearted businessmen, a yard worth only a few thousand taels will dare to sell it for a few thousand taels per house, and many people can't afford to buy a house for a lifetime." These people are the ones who create iniquity, and sooner or later they will be punished!"

While walking, the fifth girl pointed out: "There is also a courtyard, the location is excellent, and the famous Wang University scholar lives opposite." ”

In the eyes of people like the five girls, Wang Yangming, who is extremely famous and knowledgeable in Shilin, is naturally of a very high status, even much more powerful than a prince and prince.

Chu Nan was a little surprised, and said to Guan He with a chuckle: "So I am looking forward to this courtyard, Scholar Wang also worked as a Xixi seat in the Chu family earlier, it is not bad to be a neighbor with him, you can also go to the door from time to time, go to talk to Lord Wang's wife, save the boredom." ”

Wang Yangming's friendship with the Chu family and Chu Nan naturally does not need to be said, his wife was originally a famous person in Jiangnan, and Guan He was born as if she was a good person, and she was not afraid that she would not be able to talk to Guan He when the time came, and Guan He would be lonely in the province.

Guan He was a little apprehensive, pinched his handkerchief and said softly: "Is it really possible? Lord Wang's house is notoriously difficult to enter, and Mrs. Wang and I don't know each other." ”

The fifth girl waved her hand and said: "Sister doesn't need to worry, Mrs. Wang is very friendly, and she invited me to her house for dinner during the New Year's holidays, and she gave me the hairpin on my head." ”

Guan He looked at the five girls who were a little proud, and his mood was much more relaxed, and he chuckled: "Then my sister will take care of me a lot, and she will often come to talk to me." ”

The fifth girl agreed loudly, led Chu Nan and the others in, and said in a deep voice: "This is the best courtyard in my hand, the place is big enough, and there is a garden at the back, so the price is naturally more expensive." ”

Guan He looked around, but the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, he took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, and said softly: "This courtyard is really good, I like it very much, but now I only have 100,000 taels of silver in my hand, if it is not enough, I still need my sister's grace for a few days, let's think of a way." ”

The fifth girl looked at the silver ticket, glanced at Chu Nan with some surprise, turned around and asked Guan He in surprise: "Is this the silver he gave you?" Now I believe that he cares about you, and he let you take so much money. I'm telling you, listen to me right, if you want to capture a man's heart, don't think about learning some cooking skills to grab a man's stomach. If you want to capture a man's heart, you have to grab a man's stomach, it's all fake, and grabbing a man's purse is serious!"

Chu Nan turned his head and couldn't help laughing, but he remembered that the fifth girl was an old girl who had not been married, and she was actually a serious teacher of Guan He's truths, and then frowned at Guan He, if she remembered correctly, Guan He had at least 200,000 taels of silver in his hand, and this courtyard would have to be at least 150,000, Guan He would not know, but he was the first to show that the money was not much, and he really didn't forget to be careful at any time.

Sure enough, the fifth girl frowned a little embarrassed, thought for a long time, still took Guan He's silver ticket, and sighed: "If someone else comes to buy it, I will offer at least 200,000 taels, and I will never sell it if it is less than 150,000." But looking at your concubines, I will sell you 100,000 taels, and I will give you my wedding wishes. ”

Guan He was overjoyed, called a few good sisters, and then ran to Chu Nan's side and pulled Chu Nan's sleeve and said with a smile: "Let's buy this yard, let people clean it up today, and I'll move over tomorrow." ”

Chu Nan nodded and said with a smile: "Whatever you want, you can be happy." ”

The fifth girl looked at Chu Nan and Guan He, who were standing hand in hand, and sighed secretly, her eyebrows and eyes were full of envy, and she sighed after looking at it for a while, and stepped forward and smiled: "My credit is counted in the capital, and you are also people with backgrounds, so you are not afraid that I will take the money and run away, you can clean it up first, and I will go to the yamen to report it later, so you don't need to bother." ”

Guan He was happy in his heart and thanked him again and again.

The fifth girl thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "You may not know the rules of Furong Street, the capital is mixed with dragons and snakes, and there are three religions and nine streams, it is inevitable that there will be thieves who don't have long eyes to come here, and sometimes even if there is a nursing home, it is difficult to take care of them, so I spent my efforts to invite a master to be responsible for patrolling the streets at night and dealing with some thieves who are not long-eyed." ”

Chu Nan looked at a thin man who stood outside the door at some point, and smiled secretly in his heart, could it be that this is the famous old classic of the capital on Furong Street who is as famous as the five girls?

The five girls were famous in the capital at the beginning just because her business was very large, and she was an old girl rarely seen in the north, and she was more famous in the capital than Leng Li and a few Shangshu, and then I don't know when, the five girls on Furong Street had a person named Lao Dian who did not know the origin, and slowly began to coax the five girls to be worried about not being able to get married, so they went out to find a sick man with a disabled leg and foot, and was ready to entrust it for life.

Lao Dian was physically disabled, and he began to rely on the care of the five girls to not die of illness, and then the five girls took care of his food, clothing and daily life, but I don't know if he hated the five girls for being ugly or what, after he recovered, he would rather be cold on the street than accept the care of the five girls, and the five girls were also strange, not reluctant to live at all, let him move out to live, but took care of the old man through various methods.

Chu Nan looked at Lao Dian and found that although the clothes on this person's body were quite clean, he was unkempt, his long messy hair covered his face, he looked vicissitudes and aging, very thin, he should be about fifty years old, and one leg was dragged on the ground, obviously a disability.

Tang Chu frowned and looked at Lao Dian, and couldn't help muttering, "He can still catch a thief like this?" I'm afraid that a thief can put him down with one hand, right?"

Lao Dian glanced at Tang Chop coldly, turned his head and left, sure enough, as in the legend, although his life was thinner than paper, he was extremely angry, and he couldn't bear the contempt of others at all.

The fifth girl was helpless, shook her fat body and stepped forward to pull Lao Dian back, knowing that Lao Dian's appearance was really unconvincing, she hurriedly said to Chu Nan: "Young Master Chu, although Lao Dian has a very bad temper, but according to some sayings, isn't a person's temper also proportional to his ability? ”

Chu Nan sighed secretly, looking at the nervous dark color of the five girls, I am afraid that she really cares about this old classic, as for having to find this errand for the old classic, most of it is to take care of the old classic's self-esteem, and want him to feel that he is supporting himself, in fact, this Furong Street is not far from Green Willow Lane and the palace, and there are generals like Leng Li in charge, how dare ordinary thieves come here?

The fifth girl looked at Chu Nan and didn't care too much, frowned and said: "Don't underestimate Lao Dian, although his legs and feet are inconvenient, but you go out to inquire, those gangs in the capital like Sanfeng Tang and Lao Dao Gang, which don't know how powerful Lao Dian is, at the beginning, they thought about coming to Furong Street to scrape some silver and collect some protection money, but Lao Dian beat them away alone, and now they are scared when they see Lao Dian, by the way, the boss of the Lao Dao Gang was also abolished by Lao Dian." ”

Guan He looked at the five girls who were dancing with their eyebrows, and then looked at the old man who was grabbed by the five girls, his brows were furrowed and full of helplessness, he glanced at Chu Nan, and said softly: "Is what my sister said true?"

The fifth girl pretended to be angry and said: "Can I still lie to you? The whole capital knows that the old man has good skills and good character, and with him, you can put a hundred hearts." ”

After speaking, the fifth girl glared at Lao Dian reproachfully, frowned, and said, "Quick, take out your skills and let Gongzi Chu see it, they will underestimate you." ”

Lao Dian was full of helplessness, but he couldn't refuse the instructions of the five girls, maybe he was used to the five girls' calls over the years.

Tang Chop himself was sent by Fei Ying to be Chu Nan's guard, and he dropped the chain one after another in Jiangnan, every time he saw Chu Nan's disappointed eyes, Tang Chop was greatly stimulated, and now he saw such a weak and crippled old man also come out to grab a job with himself, how could he bear it and walk up quietly.

Chu Nan looked at Tang Chop who walked to his side and became more and more disappointed, glanced at him coldly, shook his head and motioned him to retreat.

Lao Dian seemed to notice Tang Shu's movements, and shook his head softly, dragging a stump leg slowly past Tang Shu's side, and pressed his hand on the bluestone wall with an expressionless face.

Guan He didn't know why, and the five girls were full of confidence.

Tang Chu looked at the faintly concave palm prints on the bluestone wall and the stone chips scattered in the wind, full of unconcealable consternation, he really didn't expect that such an old man who seemed to be able to be blown down by a gust of wind was such a skill, although this kind of thing can be done by himself, and even can be done more easily and more powerfully, but just looking at this ability, it is more than enough to deal with ordinary thieves.

Chu Nan also frowned, unlike Tang Shu, he was not because of that palm print.

After the realm broke through, Chu Nan's feelings became more and more keen, no matter how powerful Lao Dian was before, now his body has been completely wasted, even if he left a palm print a few fingers deep on the bluestone wall, Chu Nan would not take it to heart, but if it wasn't his hallucination just now, Lao Dian, who had been a waste person on Furong Street for more than ten years, actually exuded a faint evil aura, not a murderous aura, but the kind of person who had experienced the war would have a bad aura.

The fifth girl was very proud, happier than having made a big deal herself, and looked at Chu Nan, who was frowning and silent, and said: "Now don't worry, if you want, you only need to give me ten taels of silver a month." ”

Chu Nan smiled, shook his head and said, "No, I'll give fifty taels a month." ”

Lao Dian still looks like a dead man, but the fifth girl's face has changed greatly, she glanced at Lao Dian lightly, and said coldly: "This is voluntary, Lao Dian doesn't need anyone's sympathy." ”

Chu Nan shook his head, rubbed the palm print, and sighed: "I still think fifty taels is less, fifth girl, you don't understand what this palm print means, and I don't know that I have always been very respectful to those men who have experienced battlefield battles." ”

Only then did the fifth girl laugh again, and walked over and whispered to the old man: "You have to do your best, fifty taels a month is enough for you to live and buy medicine, but you have to drink less." ”

Guan He looked at the five girls and the two of them meaningfully, and looked at the five girls with a twist, and even the pink birthmark on her face became more and more red, hiding to the side and whispering something to Guan He, and finally made a coquettish posture of a child, but she didn't know what a collapse it was to match that look, that figure, that temperament with that posture and expression.

Chu Nanqiang couldn't help himself with nausea, turned his head and didn't dare to look at it again, but found that Lao Dian looked at him coldly, obviously dissatisfied with his performance.

Guan He whispered something again, and the fifth girl secretly glanced at Lao Dian, and quickly turned her head with a red face, twisting more and more, but she couldn't hide her joy.

Chu Nan laughed, sure enough, the two celebrities on Furong Street, Lao Dian and the five girls, are all wonderful people!
