After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1494 Lord Wang is Honest

As he was talking, the salesman opened the last few bids, and no one offered a higher price, so the last house went to the Lao family!

Ordinary people simply don’t have the money to participate in this high-end game, but it’s fun to watch the fun.

Gossip and melons are always good about other people. They won’t be good if they happen to you.

Tianshui City hasn't traded such expensive real estate for a long time, not to mention that it is not in the city center at all, but in the suburbs several miles away from Tianshui City!

This is just the second to last row of temples.

……

The Chibao sale tonight ended in a lively atmosphere. Fan Shuang first sent He Lingchuan to the Sanmentou Posthouse before going home.

Following He Lingchuan, Fan Shuang was busy all day long - He Xiao had too many activities, including meeting the king in the palace, visiting dignitaries, coordinating logistics, inspecting construction sites, dining with other foreign envoys, etc. Fan Shuang gritted her teeth and accompanied him throughout the whole process, only then did she realize that this favorite of the king was not in vain, he was almost exhausted, but He Xiao was still like nothing happened.

Moreover, He Xiao also had to take care of the affairs of the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce. His energy was truly unusually abundant.

Turning the corner, Fan Shuang saw the two familiar lanterns at the door of her house, and her heart couldn't help but feel warm.

Finally he was home, and it was another exhausting day. At this moment, he just wanted to wash off the sweat and smell, sit down and eat a few mouthfuls of cold watermelon - before leaving the house this morning, his mother seemed to have hung two watermelons in the well.

But before he entered, the servant came up to him hurriedly:
"Master, you are finally back! A distinguished guest is here."

"Huh? Who?"

As soon as he entered the living room, Father Fan was entertaining guests. When he saw Fan Shuang, he stood up and said, "Shuang'er, come quickly. This is Mr. Mi from the Experience Department!"

Sitting opposite him was a man who was nearly fifty years old and a little fat. He smiled at Fan Shuang.

Fan Shuang quickly saluted: "Master Mi."

The Experience Department is the department directly under Fan's father, and is mainly responsible for assessing the political performance and integrity of officials.

Fan Shuang was horrified when such an official suddenly appeared at the Fan family's home. Was it his father or himself who had committed a crime?
"Your father and I have known each other for many years. When you were this old—" Lord Mi smiled unusually warmly and pointed to the side of his leg, "—I held you in my arms."

He then said to Father Fan, "This child has great potential. He was received by the Lord a few days ago, and now he is following Lord He. He is busy all the time and people can see him."

Father Fan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I wish the island master would appreciate his kindness, and he has also worked hard for it."

So what on earth is this Mr. Mi doing here? He looks really like a dad.

Fan Shuang was muttering in her heart, and Lord Mi asked:
"Oh, by the way, did you just return from Red Castle?"

Chibao? So this is the real topic. Seeing her father winking at her, Fan Shuang nodded, "Yes, the Chibao sale has just ended, and I am sending Master He back to the posthouse. Lord Mi, you are here today, is there any trouble my family has encountered...?"

"Oh no, no, your father asked the same question just now." Lord Mi smiled, "You are all worrying too much. I came here today to give you good news."

"Master Mi, please speak."

Lord Mi put the teacup on the table and said, "I heard that you have a gold plate in your hand?"

"Yes, it's the sign of Hanqinglou in Youhu Villa." Fan Shuang understood it immediately and continued, "Island Master He is a man of love and righteousness. Hanqinglou is a reward for my companionship and dedication over the past few months."

After witnessing the crazy price increases at the opening of the second phase of Youhu Villa in Chibao, Fan Shuang already understood that He Lingchuan sold Hanqinglou to him for only 2,000 taels of silver, which was equivalent to giving it away for free.

Father Fan added, "At noon today, the Imperial Household Department announced the purchase list for the first phase of Youhu Villa, and we are on it."

Fan Shuang let out an "ah".

This move is extremely powerful, equivalent to announcing the first list of officials who stand on King Yao's side.

Those on the list are all loyal!

The Fan family was also on the list. Although they bought a seat in the last row, it was still a seat, and this seat was under everyone's eyes.

Lord Mi rubbed his hands and said, "Let me be frank. A lord wants to buy Hanqinglou and has appointed me to come and discuss the matter with you and your son."

The father and son of the Fan family looked at each other and said, "This..."

Fan Shuang even noticed that Lord Mi used the word "delegate".

He was sent here.

"The Chibao is selling the second to last row of the Youhu Villa Phase II tonight. The lowest price is 31,000 taels and the highest price is 41,700 taels. This gentleman is trying to find a compromise and bid 34,000 taels."

Fan Shuang couldn't help but ask: "Excuse me, which adult is it?"

"Chief Censor, Lord Wang." Lord Mi did not hide it from him. The buyer would definitely announce it anyway.

Fan Shuang choked.

He turned out to be the chief official of the Censorate!

Lord Wang’s power is to “report major matters to the emperor and make decisions on minor matters immediately”, and he can even impeach officials at any time.

Needless to say, all officials respected and feared him.

No wonder Lord Mi used the word "delegation", this person is his boss's boss's boss!

Such a powerful person actually wants to buy the Youhu Jingshe owned by the Fan family?

Oh, by the way, he seemed to have seen Lord Wang in the front row of the Chibao sale just now. Could it be that Lord Wang didn't take the photo?

The second phase of Youhu Villa adopts a "secret auction" method. Buyers have only one right to bid for the villa they like. If the price is not as high as others, the house will be theirs.

Fan Shuang said softly: "We will only shoot the last two rows today, there are more to come..."

Lord Mi waved his hand and said, "Lord Wang is honest and cannot afford so much money. This price is the best he can offer. Brother Fan, can you give it up?"

He was talking to Fan's father.

"This..." Father Fan's eyes flickered, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Fan Shuang persuaded him to raise money to buy Youhu Villa, and he also looked forward to being neighbors with the officials and nobles in the court. The nobles, who he usually only saw once a year, would live near his house in the future, and he would bump into them whenever he went out.

If you get to know someone, it will be easier to do things in the future. After all, how does the saying go? When you meet someone, you feel a little affection for them.

If Fan Shuang could meet one or two more noble people, her career would be bright.

Father Fan was a little unwilling to see someone suddenly intervene. If his son could succeed in the future, how much more could he earn than the 34,000 taels?

Fan Shuang didn't want to sell it either.

Once you move into Youhu Villa, your identity will immediately be different.

But who is Lord Wang? They can't afford to offend him.

Seeing that the father and son were speechless, Lord Mi continued, "There are only a limited number of Youhu Jingshe, and each one is very popular. After the list is announced today, someone will come to find Brother Fan later. As far as I know, the Liu family in Xining didn't buy it tonight, and they are trying to find a place. I estimate that they will come to your door tomorrow night at the latest."

Mr. Fan's face changed slightly.

The Liu family? The two little bullies of the Liu family relied on their status as relatives by marriage to run rampant in Tianshui City for many years. The Fan family definitely didn't want to offend them!
