Chapter 1 Buying a house to save people
The southeast shape wins, the three Wu metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, and there are 100,000 people. The clouds and trees surround the embankment sand, the angry waves roll frost and snow, and the moat is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious.
The heavy lake is stacked on top of Qingjia, there are three autumn laurels, ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth, listen to the flute and drums while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua.
This poem is written by Liu Yong, a lyricist in the Song Dynasty, "Looking at the Sea Tide, the Southeast Shape Wins", which writes the prosperity of Hangzhou and the beauty of the West Lake, putting the prosperity and magnificence of Hangzhou into writing.
Su Yang led a white horse and dragged a cyan carriage on the bank of the West Lake.
In the carriage was Jin Se, who came to Hangzhou at this time, lifted the curtain with one hand, and looked curiously at the West Lake.
At this time, the West Lake is far from the grand scenery of later generations, although the water surface is vast, but you can see a lot of silt, and all kinds of weeds in the lake are overgrown, but there is still a good place for scenery.
Su Yang stopped the carriage on the bank of the West Lake and said to Jin Se in the car: "Let's buy a garden near here, this is the prosperous place of the West Lake, and it is also the best place for the lake and mountains, we settle here, the mountains and lakes are for us, and we can also watch the fireworks of thousands of homes, how about it?"
Came to Hangzhou with Jinse, Su Yang didn't want to wronged this eldest lady, so he first picked the West Lake area in Hangzhou, intending to buy a manor here.
In later generations, this will be a lake-view villa.
There is a manor, even in the downtown area, it can be secluded, so that Jin Se can live freely, and Su Yang can also sort out what he has learned, so as to face Dong Shuangcheng's upcoming disaster.
"It's yours. ”
Jin Se has no opinion.
Jin Se is not a person who cannot be condescended, but there is no need for it.
Came to Hangzhou, only Su Yang, Jin Se, Mei Xiang three people, Mei Xiang is Jin Se's side of the maid, naturally have to follow around to take care of Jin Se, and the rest of Yan Ruyu, Sun Li, Chunyan is in the lonely garden first, run the operation, and wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, and then go here.
As for Shangguan Xiang'er, Su Yang sent her back to Jinling.
"Look, if you want any house, I'll buy it for you. ”
Su Yang spoke very imposingly, and asked Jin Se to pick a house at random on this side of the West Lake.
Jin Se poked her head out of the carriage, today she did not wear the gorgeous clothes of the past, wore a blue pigment skirt, and only had a wooden hairpin on her head, which was not as luxurious and dazzling as before, but this show was lively and clear, and it was enough to thrill.
After leaning out of the carriage, Jin Se glanced at the surrounding houses, and said: "The gate of that family is locked, the barren pavilion in the courtyard is blocked, and the pavilion is declining, but the pond and rockery inside, the yard is wide, the trees and bamboos are cultivated, quiet and interesting, you can buy the house of that family." ”
Su Yang along the Jin Se pointed out, see the east side of the West Lake there is a locust tree sandwich road, very clean, there are several high doors and wide courtyards on a road, among which there is a courtyard house locked, very falling, this is the family that Jin Se refers to.
It is also the address of Jinse's usage and selection.
Su Yang walked towards the house, and after turning left and right, he arrived at the courtyard a few feet away, and saw an old man sitting at the door of the courtyard, fifty or sixty years old, like a janitor, so he stepped forward to say hello, looked at it carefully, and saw that the old man was a blessed man, a noble man, and should be the master of this family.
"Old man, why is there no one in the Li family next door?"
Su Yang asked.
The old man looked up at Su Yang and said, "What is the Li family? That's the Wang family!"
"Oh......"
It turned out that the surname of the head of the family was Wang.
Su Yang nodded, and asked again, "The eldest son of the Wang family is still doing business in Shandong?"
The old man listened to Su Yang's words, and felt that Su Yang should have asked the wrong person, so he said: "The Wang family has two children, the old man of the Wang family was an official in Suzhou in the early years, and he returned here after leaving office, the two children are not learning and have no skills, where can they do business? The second son died a few years ago, leaving the eldest son, who killed someone by mistake while drinking on the boat, and now he is in prison, and his wife is separated ......."
Su Yang has roughly figured out what the situation of the house he wants to buy, his hand is actually a trick in the rivers and lakes, in the rivers and lakes, when many scammers want to come to the door to cheat, most of them are so questioned, knocking on the side, and asking the family that wants to defraud clearly, and when another scammer comes to the door, that family is naturally convinced in the face of this kind of scammer who accurately explains the situation of his family, and there are not a few people who defraud money.
At the moment, it was just that Su Yang didn't want to reveal himself too much, so he used such means.
Su Yang suddenly slapped his hand, and said with a sad face: "How should this be?"
The old man looked at Su Yang's sad face, and asked what was going on.
"I should have been deceived in Shandong. ”
Su Yang sighed and said to the old man: "I am an idler in Shandong, I have long heard that Hangzhou is very beautiful, and it just so happens that I have two businessmen in Shandong, and these two businessmen claim that there is a house manor in West Lake, a front yard and a backyard, and a rockery pond, and they are willing to sell it to me cheaply, so I will give him a thousand taels of silver, and I came here with my wife and children, and I want to get the title deed house and live here, I don't want to find them at all!"
Su Yang is playing the role of a deceived.
The old man looked at Su Yang's sad face, couldn't help but sigh, and reprimanded Su Yang: "You can't figure out the bottom of this person, and you don't have a house deed, how dare you pay him a thousand taels of silver? This person has been deceived, don't you suffer a dumb loss? If you want to sue the official, you can't find anyone!"
Su Yang nodded and sighed, and said, "It's me who is too gullible to be credulous, and it's too late to regret it." He turned his head to look at the Wang family's mansion and asked the old man, "That person from the Wang family has been imprisoned, who will take care of the house now?"
After going around, Su Yang is also going to talk about buying a house.
"Of course, it's in the hands of the Wang family. ”
The old man looked at the house, sighed, and said, "If anyone can buy this house, this money can also get Wang Qiufan out of prison." ”
It seems that they want to buy it, and others want to sell it.
But this is to buy a house and get people out of prison, which is ......
"How did Wang Qiufan kill someone by mistake?"
Su Yang asked the old man.
In this world, there is no distinction between right and wrong, black and white are reversed, there are many officials who need to apologize to the people, and the people in prison are not necessarily bad people, and well-known things are not necessarily the truth.
The old man looked around left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so he said to Su Yang: "Actually, the old man thinks that Wang Qiufan is not to blame for this matter, it is the son of the Liu family who is at fault first, the son of the Liu family is called Liu Xiaosong, his family is powerful, there is an uncle who works as an errand in Jinling, and now Jinling is like a capital, and the officials in it are all powerful......"
Su Yang nodded, since Jinling established the six departments of Jinling, it has been out of touch with the Great Qian, nominally both are the Great Qian's court, but Jinling is no longer under the jurisdiction of the imperial court, and at the same time, these places south of Jinling are all accepted by Jinling's officials.
Most of the officials in the world are originally grass on the wall, the king of Qi will listen to the king of Qi, the prince will listen to the prince's will, and both sides will come at the same time, then the soldiers will not move, there is no such thing as standing in line, and in these places in Jiangnan, Huguang, no one can say who this place is before a thorough reshuffle.
"Liu Xiaosong was originally looking for fun, killed a prostitute, because his family was powerful, the matter was over, and later Liu Xiaosong was drinking flower wine, and Wang Qiufan they met together, at that time there were two groups of people who happened to know each other, so they praised each other and sat together, Liu Xiaosong said that he made fifty poems for the dead Lanzi girl, holding the poem manuscript in his hand, reciting in the flower boat, and many people in the flower boat praised each other, saying that it was worth the death of the Lanzi girl, and there were fifty poems to mourn Yunyun......"
You can't change the fact that readers love to fart.
Su Yang said secretly in his heart.
At that time, Wang Qiufan drank too much wine and couldn't listen to it, so he scolded Liu Xiaosong's poems for not making sense, and scolded the people around him for flattery, they were all a group of soft bones, and there was a conflict all of a sudden. ”
The old man said these words with a sigh.
You deserve it.
Su Yang secretly said in his heart, maybe it was the ghost of Miss Lanzi that made Liu Xiaosong jump into the water and not get out?
"Now that Wang Qiufan is locked in the yamen, if this house can be sold for three thousand taels, he will definitely be able to get out of prison with this money, but these three thousand taels of silver are too expensive after all, not to mention that buying this house will offend the Liu family, so no one dares to buy it. ”
The old man said again.
Three thousand taels of silver is really not a small amount, and the Liu family's power in Hangzhou is really not small, the two are combined, so that this mansion is abandoned like this, and no one dares to buy it.
"Old man, do you have the contact information of the Wang family? I bought this house of theirs. ”
Su Yang said to the old man: "It just so happens that I am also missing a place to stay." ”
