Chapter 70: Thorn

Wu Yang rested today.

First, since the fifteenth Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, things in Lin'an City have been one after another, and he has been so busy that he can hardly touch the ground; Second, there were so many people in the mansion at once, and he planned to hold a small banquet in the mansion, which was regarded as a pick-up for Chang'an, and he also took this opportunity to get close to the newly acquired guards.

Mrs. Liu and her husband Chen Fu entered the Wu Mansion, and Mrs. Liu was in charge of the kitchen and the rough work in the house, while Chen Fu acted as the porter.

The small banquet was scheduled for the evening, and Mrs. Liu went out to buy early in the morning, and Shi Xiaoyu had not visited Lin'an City in the past two days, so she immediately followed noisily.

Wu Yang took Changji and Chang'an out for a stroll.

Chang'an said with great interest: "Tenth son, Changji said that you have a piece of land near Yuhangmen, and you are going to build a house, why don't we go there today, so that the villain can recognize the door." ”

Chang'an has seen clearly in the past few days, the ten sons of the holy family are rich, and the future is broad, and they must take root in Lin'an City. Although this house is now on Qingliang Mountain, it is a place where high-ranking officials and nobles in Lin'an City gather, but this house is indeed too small, and now there is only a group of guards and a porter, plus the ancestors and grandchildren of Shi Nanting who live temporarily, it is already very crowded.

According to the speed of the tenth prince's promotion, he needs a bigger mansion to stand up to the scene.

Wu Yang naturally had no objection. Today's Lin'an City is still being rebuilt, and the most famous Goolan Tile House is still in ruins, and there is really nothing to do.

Wu Yang's land is located between Jingling Palace and Yuhang Gate, one north and one south of Qingliang Mountain, respectively located at the two ends of Tianjie, almost passing through the entire Lin'an City.

The three of them galloped on the heavenly street, and arrived at the place in a few moments.

Wu Yang unexpectedly met Li Nanfeng here.

Li Nanfeng was followed by his long-term entourage of graphite and stone blue, and Yi An, the housekeeper of the Li Mansion, was directing a group of laborers to clean up the debris.

Seeing Wu Yang coming, Li Nanfeng was overjoyed: "Xiao Shi is here, how about the drawings that my brother found someone to design?" Is Little Ten satisfied? ”

Li Nanfeng asked the master of the Ministry of Engineering to personally design the drawings have been sent to Wu Yang's desk two days ago, but also before and after the two in, the more distinctive is that the buildings in the house are two to three floors, which not only reduces the floor space, but also can meet the use, the vacant land is put into the back, across the second door, the whole back is a garden, flowers and trees are sparse, the master room and guest room are three three-story and two-storey independent small buildings, separated by flowers and trees in the middle, which ensures privacy well.

Wu Yang was very satisfied with this design, what made him worry was where to get such a large sum of silver, and the wages and materials in Lin'an City were not cheap at the moment!

Chang'an was talking with Changji about the future of the Wu Mansion, and seeing this, he quietly pulled Wu Yang aside, took out a brown paper envelope from his arms, and pulled out a stack of Jiaozi from the envelope.

"Ten princes, this is what the fifth prince asked me to hand over to you, the reason why I didn't take it out as soon as I saw you was because the fifth prince ordered, if you stay in Lin'an with peace of mind, this silver money will be handed over to you, otherwise let me take it back and let the fifth prince keep it for you!"

Wu Yang took the envelope and looked at it, and it was forty or fifty thousand taels.

"So much? Fifth brother is afraid that it is not the time to use the money now, I will take 10,000 taels and build a house! ”

Chang'an said with a smile: "The tenth prince is not a family and does not know the price of firewood and rice, what kind of good house can be built in Lin'an City with 10,000 taels at the moment?" The envelope contained a total of 50,000 taels of Jiaozi, which could be redeemed in the business name of Lin'an University. The fifth prince said, you are the face of Xingzhou Wu Mansion in Lin'an, naturally you can't fall into the prestige of Wu Mansion, and the house, horses, and servants only care about it. Now that the fifth son is in charge, he will not wronged you if he is wronged! ”

Seeing that Wu Yang was about to refuse, Chang'an said: "Actually, half of this silver has been accumulated by Aunt Xue over the years, and it was originally reserved for you to marry a bride in another house, and the fifth prince doubled it to make up an integer of 50,000." There are many places where you use money in Lin'an, and there are people who are in contact, so don't be reluctant to do it. The fifth prince said, maybe in the future, the Wu Mansion will want you to help take care of it more! ”

Wu Yang put the envelope in his arms: "Okay, I know." If you go back and tell the fifth brother, you will say that his mind and the younger brother can save it. ”

Chang'an took the opportunity to say: "Tenth son, don't you plan to go back to Xingzhou to celebrate the master's birthday?" ”

Wu Lan's birthday is April 17, and now it is the end of March, Wu Yang wants to go back, he has to pack up, and the birthday ceremony must also be prepared, and the affairs of the Imperial City Division also need to be arranged, and the emperor must also report in front of him, and it will take time for all the piles and piles.

Wu Yang raised his eyes and looked into the distance: "Let me think about it again." ”

Aunt Xue's death was like a thorn in Wu Yang's heart, and he couldn't pull it out.

In the past few days, he has used the affairs of the Imperial City Division to numb himself with busyness, but in the dead of night, he will always think of the words that Changji advised him, especially the sentence "How can you hurt the old father's heart because of the grievances for your mother!" ”

He had no way to lift the cloud of his mother's death lightly, but as a son of man, how could he turn a blind eye to his father's expectations? Especially my father is getting older and older year by year, and he often can't sleep all night because of the pain!

He was really afraid that one day when he figured it out and wanted to go back, there was no one in Xingzhou!

Chang'an grinned: "The villain left on the first day of the fourth month, and there are three days left, so think about it carefully." The fifth prince said that no matter when you want to go back, Xingzhou Wu Mansion will always be your home! ”

Li Nanfeng beckoned to the side: "Little Shi, come over quickly." Just now, Lao Yi made a suggestion, and I think it's very good. Come and see—"

Li Nanfeng pointed to the ruins in front of him and said: "Lao Yi said that our two families are on good terms, and there is no need to leave any lanes, here we share a wall with the two houses, which can save a lot of money and construction period, and open a small door on the wall, so that it will be convenient for the two families to communicate in the future." ”

Wu Yang teased: "I'm afraid it's convenient for you to go to your private meeting with Yingying Yanyan!" Let's say it first, if you are caught by your sister-in-law, I won't top the tank for you! ”

Li Nanfeng turned Wu Yang with his elbow: "Don't mind, brother, my brother's happy life in the second half of his life is all about you!" ”

Wu Yang scoffed!

Li Nanfeng: "Don't be so ruthless, brother." Look at the Zhuangzi you asked your brother to find, my brother found it early in the morning, just wait for you to see it one day, and when you are satisfied, you will go to the transfer! ”

A few days ago, Wu Yangtuo Li Nanfeng found a Zhuangzi for him outside Lin'an City, "It doesn't need to be too big, just have a hundred or ten acres of land!" ”

I didn't expect Li Nanfeng to have news so quickly.

"Where is Zhuangzi? What is the current owner? ”

Li Nanfeng: "Zhuangzi was found by the Yi'antuo people, just outside the Qiantang Gate, it is said that he was originally a merchant, and he didn't point to the Grange to eat, but just wanted to eat some home-raised chickens, ducks and fresh vegetables." Because of the loss of business, he was ready to sell the grange for business turnover. I haven't seen it yet, so it shouldn't be too bad! ”

Li Nanfeng turned Wu Yang around, and said mysteriously: "You Zhuangzi is not looking for your own family, right?" To say that Wang Daban'er is really a hundred maintenance for you, this can be regarded as a return for the peach! ”
