Chapter 68: It doesn't matter, I'm rich

Ge Jiamu entered the city with Haoyue and went straight to the residential area in the east of the city.

The east of the city is a rich area where famous families and nobles gather in Changchun City, and it is also the closest place to the imperial city of Weiyang Palace, and the Zijin Palace where Gejiamu lives is not far from here.

Haoyue found that the streets in the east of the city were very clean, and even the roads were much wider than other streets, and there were many small gardens paved with cobblestones and rockeries on the side of the streets for people to enjoy.

There are many horse-drawn carriages with rosewood trim and gold trim, which walk unhurriedly along the road, and occasionally give way to pedestrians.

There is a school in the Chunfeng Pavilion not far away, and I heard that the master inside was once an academician of the Guozijian, and Haoyue listened to it and heard the sound of a book coming from inside.

Haoyue nodded, indicating that she was very satisfied with the cultural environment here.

"I just asked someone to inquire, there is a big mansion that has just been built near here to be sold to people, and it happens to be a five-in, five-out house." Ge Jiamu jumped off the horse as he spoke, and then hugged Ha Yue off the horse's back.

Ge Jiamu said again: "It's also a coincidence that you, otherwise, in normal times, how can there be a ready-made new house in Changchun City." ”

This is a good point, the east side of Changchun City is not something that anyone can live in if they want to, and there is no built house for people to buy.

If you want to live here, you must first have land to build a house, and the land in the east of the city can only be purchased by the eunuchs.

Haoyue heard that this was really what she wanted, and happily jumped forward: "Wow, that's good, let's go and have a look." ”

Ge Jiamu tugged at Haoyue's sleeve: "Landuo, this big mansion in Changchun City with five entrances and five exits is not cheap." ”

Haoyue smiled, and then showed an expression that didn't care that I had money.

Now she has 20 million taels of silver tickets in her hand, and it is not a problem to buy four or five mansions.

But today, she just came to see the house first, and then went back to discuss it with everyone after she was optimistic, and then decided whether to buy it or not.

Ge Jiamu: "I heard that this house is a new residence built by Tang Yuan, a great official of the dynasty, and he was going to move a year ago, but King Yuan appointed him as the imperial history of the salt patrol, and he was transferred to the southeast island by an order. ”

Hazy Moon: "Uh"

Hearing the reason for the resale of this house, she suddenly had a subtle sense that there must be a cause and an effect.

It was precisely because she defeated Gongsun Li that the imperial court wanted to send someone to take over the Gongsun family's property on Southeast Island, and it was because of this that this official was transferred to Southeast Island, and she also missed a big mansion.

Haoyue raised her little face and looked at the blue sky after the rain, it seemed that in the dark, everything had its own certainty.

Ge Jiamu is quick and neat, very similar to Shen Yinxing's style of acting, when he heard that Haoyue wanted to buy a big mansion, he immediately asked his subordinates to look for and inquire, and he had already contacted the steward of the Tang family.

The steward of the Tang family was a thin and shrewd little old man, with two beards growing around his mouth, and he walked up and down.

Steward Tang saw the figures of Haoyue and Ge Jiamu from afar, and immediately straightened his sleeves and ran over to say hello.

"Ouch, Princess Gejiamu is here, the small courtyard is really full of splendor." Steward Tang saluted towards Ge Jiamu.

Ge Jiamu waved his hand at him: "No need to be polite, today I brought a friend to see the house, and you lead the way in front." ”

After hearing this, Steward Tang stretched his neck to look left and right: "Princess, hasn't your friend arrived yet?" ”

Hearing this, Ge Jiamu frowned, his narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed slightly, and then pointed to Haoyue beside him: "This is my good sister, I took her to see the house today." ”

Steward Tang looked at Xiao Haoyue next to him, and saw that this little girl was only six or seven years old, and she was also dressed in high-quality clothes, and her appearance was cute, and her big eyes were full of childlike innocence, and she looked ignorant of the world.

Steward Tang thought to himself, this princess has nothing to do to find someone to have fun, she wants to take the child to play around, this house is a matter for adults, how can there be six or seven-year-old children who come out to see the house, and the sons and ladies in their own house are still playing with mud at the age of six or seven years old.

I wanted to think about it, but Princess Gejiamu was here, and he didn't dare to be perfunctory, so he still welcomed the two in, but he didn't think about trading with them in his heart.

"Two young ladies, this is the new mansion built by Master Tang, there is no one living in it, you can go in and walk around at will." Steward Tang arched his hand.

"Okay, got it." Ge Jiamu waved his hand in response.

After Ge Jiamu and Hao Yue entered, the Yu Guards who followed behind the two also entered consistently.

Haoyue stepped over the threshold of vermilion lacquer and entered this new mansion with five entrances and five exits.

This house is very atmospheric, with a strict central axis symmetry to form a five-way multi-entry courtyard, the courtyard layout is regular, and the ends are orderly.

On both sides is the corridor waist manhui hand-copying verandah, the mahogany handrails of the verandah are carved with lotus flowers and beasts.

Among them is through the hall, there is a large screen carved by rosewood in the middle, turning the screen is a square hall, behind the hall is the square courtyard, the front is six upper rooms, there are more than 20 large and small rooms on the side, everywhere is carved beams and paintings, exquisite and elegant rhyme.

The new house is built according to the rules, the layout is exquisite, the pavilions and pavilions, the corridors are connected, the flowers and trees in the house are dotted with each other, all the way around the trees and flowers, the dark fragrance floats.

The verandahs of the house are staggered, twisting and turning, progressing layer by layer, changing the scenery step by step.

There is also a crescent-shaped lotus pond in the house, such as a curved crescent moon around half of the mansion, the breeze comes slowly, and the bamboo shadows on the pond are bursting, lush.

This five-in, five-out courtyard can be seen by Haoyue clapping her hands again and again.

The last time she saw such a delicate and beautiful garden was in a garden in Suzhou.

"Mmmm, I like this house very much, Steward Tang, how much silver do you want?" Haoyue turned her head and asked, but she didn't hear Steward Tang's reply.

At this moment, a servant ran over and arched his hand towards them: "What do the two young ladies have to say, just call me, our housekeeper is busy with other things." ”

Haoyue rolled her eyes at the sky, feeling that Steward Tang didn't take himself seriously at all.

Ge Jiamu was also very angry at this time, how could he treat guests like this, this was obviously not taking himself seriously.

"Go! Call your butler Tang with eyes on the soles of your feet, my sister came to see the house with you, and that's how you entertained you? Ge Jiamu crossed his hands on his hips, pointed at the little girl's nose and scolded angrily.

"Princess, wrath! The princess is angry! The villain went to call the housekeeper, and the two young ladies sat in the pavilion to see the scenery first. The little guy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then ran out with a cigarette.

"It's infuriating! How can they do this! Ge Jiamu sat down on the railing with a huff.

"Oh, this is also normal, after all, how can a child come out to buy a house and look at a house, not angry." Haoyue comforted Ge Jiamu on the side.

"Humph! This old thing that looks at people with dog's eyes", Ge Jiamu snorted, and then threw a pebble into the pool, and the stone fell into the blue water, splashing a puddle of water.

Turning her face, Ge Jiamu saw three figures on the other side of the pavilion, and then she pointed with her hand and shouted: "Lan Duo, look, isn't that Steward Tang?" ”

Haoyue looked in the direction of Ge Jiamu's finger, and happened to see Steward Tang accompanying a man and a woman to visit the garden, talking and laughing all the way, and Steward Tang's old face had already smiled into a chrysanthemum.

The man and the woman, both dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, seemed to be either rich or noble.

Take a closer look, the man in the dark green brocade robe has oily hair and powdered face, shaking a fan in his hand, swaying three steps, and walking with a hangy appearance.

Haoyue squinted, not knowing whether it was cold or not on such a cold day.

The woman next to the green-robed man was wearing a pink butterfly gauze bodice as thin as a cicada's wings, a green embroidered soft smoke skirt around her waist, and a white plum blossom gauze dress on the outside.

Haoyue saw this woman who was still wearing a gauze skirt in early winter, and she shuddered unconsciously.

Oh, it's cold to watch

The woman looked like a bird, snuggling up to the man's side, and the green-robed man's hand wandered around the woman's back from time to time, looking greasy and crooked, strange and disgusting.

"Phew!" Ge Jiamu spat on the ground.

"Hey! Steward Tang, come here, my sister has taken a fancy to your house. Ge Jiamu took three steps and made two steps, and stepped forward to fish out Steward Tang.

When Steward Tang heard Ge Jiamu's words, his face suddenly froze.

"Ahh This little lady has taken a fancy to our house? Steward Tang glared and pointed at Haoyue in disbelief.

Ge Jiamu said angrily: "Of course, can't you?" ”

The green-robed man sneered, walked over, and then glanced up and down at Haoyue and Ge Jiamu: "What can you do if you like it?" Do you have the money to buy it? ”

"Hmph, who do you look down on?" Ge Jiamu snorted, then raised Haoyue's sleeve and took out a stack of silver tickets from it.

Haoyue was taken aback by Ge Jiamu's movements, and then gave Ge Jiamu a look.

Ahh Sister! What are you doing, your wealth is not exposed!

Also, how did you know that I had a silver ticket in my sleeve?

Ge Jiamu ignored Haoyue's complaining eyes and raised the silver ticket in his hand: "How is it?" Now believe it, right? ”

Steward Tang was also frightened, he didn't expect that a six or seven-year-old child would carry so many silver tickets with him.

Steward Tang looked at Haoyue suspiciously, thinking, which family's daughter is this?

The green-robed man next to him was also surprised, but he still stiffened his neck: "This house costs five thousand taels, is your silver ticket enough?" ”

Ge Jiamu's eyes widened when he heard this: "Five thousand taels of silver!" That's enough to buy thousands of cattle and sheep! ”

Steward Tang stroked his beard: "Our house was built by Lord Tang invited the best craftsmen in Changchun City, it took three months, and it cost a lot of precious wood and stone, and this house has a minimum of five thousand taels of silver." ”

When Haoyue heard this, it was only five thousand taels left and right, and within the acceptable range, it would be better if the price could be suppressed.

Haoyue gave Ge Jiamu another look and motioned her to lower the price.

"Steward Tang, can it be cheaper, I am an old friend of the twenty-ninth son of King Yuan, and he recommended me to come." Ge Jiamu asked, crossing his waist.

"Hey, hey, did you really ask about the price? Go and go, the children are playing, I just settled on this house with Steward Tang. ”

The man in the dark green robe stuck the fan in his hand into the clothes at the back of his neck, and then stretched out his hand to drive away Haoyue and Gejiamu.

"Bold! Dare to be disrespectful to Princess Gejiamu, watch your head! When the guard behind Ge Jiamu saw the man move, he immediately drew his knife and faced each other.

When the green-robed man heard this, he grinned: "Princess? Yo ho, I can't see it, so you're a woman? You don't even have any hair, and your body is mediocre, so I thought you were a man. ”

The green-robed man gestured as he spoke, his expression was extremely obscene, and the beautiful woman in pink next to him glanced at Ge Jiamu, who had short hair, and then snickered.

"Huh? How dare you laugh at me, you green-skinned turtle! The hair thing just hit Ge Jiamu's pain point, she pinched her fingers and creaked, and looked at the man with a look in her eyes that seemed to eat him alive.

Then, Ge Jiamu clenched his fist and called out to the green-robed man's temple.

"Oops! What is this for, if you have something to say, you can't do it! Can't do it! Steward Tang saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly blocked in the middle, separating Ge Jiamu and the green-robed man.

Haoyue was also very angry at this time, this green-robed man behaved frivolously, and dared to openly insult and ridicule Ge Jiamu.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

So Haoyue lifted the hem of her skirt, lifted her pink beaded embroidered shoes, and stomped down fiercely towards the instep of the green-robed man.

"Whew!" A pig-like scream rang out in the courtyard.

The green-robed man was holding his feet, jumping around beside him, shouting, "It hurts me to death!" It hurts me to death! ”

"You! You! What are you two children messing with, someone will fork them out for me!" The green-robed man yelled at Ge Jiamu and Haoyue.

Hearing the screams of the green-robed man, a group of guards with swords instantly rushed into the courtyard, glaring angrily at Haoyue, who seemed to be the green-robed man.

Haoyue frowned, what is the identity of this person? It doesn't feel small.

Haoyue asked Ge Jiamu with her eyes, and Ge Jiamu also shook her head, saying that she didn't know, she hadn't seen this person in Changchun City before.

Haoyue thought about it, no matter who he is, this house can't be given to him anyway!

"Steward Tang, do you pay attention to first come, first served? We came before them, so why did you sell the house to him? Haoyue asked, pointing to the green-robed man's nose.

Steward Tang was speechless for a while: "Ah, this."

Because Haoyue has an extraordinary temperament and is a friend of Ge Jiamu, Steward Tang can't tell which lady Haoyue is for a while, so he can only bow his head and apologize in a good voice.

"This little lady, I'm really sorry, the old slave thought that you were just talking and playing, so I agreed to Prince Qi first."

Ge Jiamu and Hao Yue frowned at the same time: "Prince Qi? ”

The guard behind Ge Jiamu stepped forward and said in the ears of the two: "Princess, do you know that in the past few days that you have been away from Changchun City, the prince of Xingluo has also come to Dayuan by boat. ”

Xingluo is a small island country on the edge of the East China Sea, which is rich in jadeite and various gemstones, and has frequent trade with Dayuan.

The southeast of Dayuan is the East China Sea, so this time Dayuan's founding ceremony also invited some surrounding island countries to visit, and Xingluo's fleet encountered a storm at sea, so it arrived in Dayuan a few days late.

Haoyue looked at the arrogant Prince Xingluo and squinted her eyes, it seems that this time things are a little difficult to do.
