The happy life of a prodigal

When everyone thought of this, they were all silent, the expressions on their faces were uncertain, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Most of the people who can eat in Chunfenglou are well-known merchants in the capital, or they are wealthy households with some assets from their ancestors. Naturally, there are many mansions in the land of Gyeonggi.

Originally, because of the start of the war, almost all of them hung up their mansions at the dental office, and even if they lost money, they thought they must sell them.

However, the situation today has changed.

The hope of the imperial court's victory has greatly increased. Doesn't it mean that the price of this mansion will definitely rise, so they marked a low-priced mansion in Yahang......

Someone thought of this, couldn't bear it any longer, stood up from the chair, bowed his hands to the diners, forced a smile, and said, "I suddenly remembered that there are still some things at home that have not been dealt with.

Everyone, eat and drink well, let's take a step ahead. "

After finishing speaking, he took a silver ticket, turned around and walked outside Chunfeng Building without stopping.

"Coincidentally, I have a lot of things to do at home, so I won't be with you, let's go ahead and say goodbye..."

"Ah, I suddenly remembered, I saw that my wife is going to have a baby today, it's broken, it's broken..."

When the diners nearby saw this scene, they all came back to their senses one after another, found various excuses, got up and left.

All of a sudden, there were only a few literati in robes left in the entire Chunfeng Tower.

They sat there one by one, staring at each other, a little dazed.

I don't understand why there are so many things happening in these people's homes just after the court's good news came.

What is even more incomprehensible is that someone left in a hurry because his family dog ​​was about to give birth to puppies.

It's really... so strange.

Chapter 487

As time went by, the weather gradually became colder.

Even if there is a small stove in the house, it still can't stop the chill in late autumn.

Fang Xiu was lying on the teacher's chair, reading a book of leisure stories, wearing a fox fur, still feeling a little cold.

After a while, he got up and shouted to the door: "Come on!"

In just an instant, Bai Xiaochun appeared in front of him, and said respectfully, "Young Master, what are your orders?"

Fang Xiu looked at him and asked: "I asked you to make the heating pipe a few days ago, is it ready?"

The heating pipe, as the name suggests, is a heating pipe made of copper pipes, the principle is not complicated, and it is no different from the heating in the previous life.

If there is any difference, it is that the hot water in the copper pipe is artificially fired.

Of course, in this era, especially when the Central Plains has just experienced a famine, the most worthless thing is labor.

"Master, it's ready."

When Bai Xiaochun heard Fang Xiu's words, he hurriedly lowered his head and said.

Fang Xiu glanced at him and asked, "When will it be installed?"

Bai Xiaochun thought for a while, and replied: "As long as you give me an order, I can install it now."

Fang Xiu nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"Yes, Master!"

Bai Xiaochun responded respectfully, turned around and was about to go down.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the yard.

A steward of the house hurried in and shouted almost ecstatically, "Young master, young master, great joy! Great joy!"

Hearing this voice, Fang Xiu frowned, looked at the steward, and asked, "What big event?"

The steward stood in front of him, with a look of joy on his face, and replied: "Return to the young master, master, master, he won!"

Fang Xiu was not too surprised when he heard this.

With No. [-] Heaven's Punishment and No. [-] Heaven's Punishment in hand, even if you randomly pull out a school lieutenant, you can win this battle, let alone your cheap old man who has experienced many battles.

Even so, he was slightly relieved to hear the news.

No matter what, he was his father, his most solid support in this world, and he was safe and sound, so he was naturally happy.

"understood......"

Fang Xiu thought so in his heart, but the expression on his face didn't change much, he waved his hands, looked at Bai Xiaochun beside him, and ordered: "What are you doing standing here, go down and let the young master install the radiator. Otherwise, your salary for this month will be deducted!"

When Bai Xiaochun heard this, he hurriedly bowed: "Young one, let's go!"

On the other hand, seeing this scene, the steward originally wanted to speak, but he was a little too afraid to speak.

Fang Xiu looked at the steward again, and said, "You continue to talk about yourself, what else is there?"

After hearing this, the steward continued: "Master, besides that, there is another happy event, that is, the price of our capital mansion has increased!"

When he said this, his voice trembled a little.

Compared with the first news, the second news actually shocked him even more.

It is no exaggeration to say that Uncle Anping is a god-like figure in the hearts of the old stewards of the Fang Mansion. With so many wars, which time did the master encounter any major crisis?

Even if they meet, they can save themselves from danger in the end.

Therefore, they are actually not too worried about the master's safety, or in other words, they are very confident in their master's strength.

But... the price of this mansion is different.

During this period of time, the young master borrowed money everywhere, and almost mortgaged his ancestral house to the dental bank as he did back then, and collected so much money to buy the mansion.

Even so, the price of this house is still falling, and buying one more house means throwing a lot of money into the water.

It is said that it was thrown into the water, but in fact, in the eyes of these servants, it is not as good as being thrown into the water.

After all, silver can still make a sound when thrown into the water, but it is literally gone when it is thrown into the mansion.

As managers, they watched the young master do such a thing, but there was nothing they could do. Hearing the gossip outside every day, they didn't know how much pressure they were under.

These pressures were finally released today.

The price of the mansion... has gone up!

Not just a rise, but a big rise!

Although it is not as good as before the war started, it has increased a lot compared to the previous period.

The original mansion of 5000 taels of silver was reduced to 3000 taels of silver after the war, and then to 2000 taels of silver.

After the young master bought it with 2000 taels of silver, it dropped to 1000 taels in just a few days.

But......

Now it has risen back to 3000 taels!

This... is a great joy!

After the steward finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at his young master, hoping to find a little change in his young master's face.

But...he was still disappointed.

The young master's expression didn't change at all, he was still as expressionless as before, as if what he said was just an insignificant matter.

"Oh, got it..."

What matched his expression was what he said, and the short four words reflected endless indifference.

Seeing this scene, the steward couldn't help feeling admiration in his heart.

The young master is indeed the young master, with such an attitude of not being surprised, even if I study for half my life, I will not be able to learn the essence!

"Master, then..."

The steward hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then the mansions we bought before, can we sell them?"

When Fang Xiu heard this, his expression changed instantly.

He who was lying on the grand teacher's chair straightened up, picked up the feather duster at hand, and slapped the steward, cursing: "When did you think about selling it!?

Wait for this young master, and when the price rises to ten times the price you bought, you will report to this young master, otherwise don't bother me! "

The steward was beaten, and he didn't dare to complain at all. He lowered his head and kept saying, "The little one is wrong, the little one is wrong."

In fact, I felt a sense of grievance in my heart.

In his opinion, the reason why the price of the mansion can go up this time all depends on the victory of the master in this battle.

But this battle can be won, what about the next one?

The south can win, but what about the north?

No matter what, the final result is the same. The court may not lose, but the possibility of winning is very small.

After all, the imperial court faced two enemies at the same time, two fists were no match for four hands!

At this time, taking advantage of the slight rise in the price of the mansion, quickly sell all the house deeds and land deeds in the house, and recover the losses as soon as possible. This is the right way.

Obviously, the young master didn't think so.

It has risen to ten times that of buying...

How can this be?

Unless the Qiyan Department is completely wiped out by the imperial army and there is no external threat to the north, the price of the mansion in the capital can rise to such a high level.

Otherwise... there is absolutely no possibility.

It's just that the imperial court wiped out all the soldiers and horses of the Qiyan Department. How is this possible?

Chapter 488 New Drama

The steward left the room in fear.

Fang Xiu lay back on the teacher's chair, while Bai Xiaochun and several guards were busy assembling the copper pipes in the room.

In less than half an hour, the heating pipes had begun to function, and the whole room became as warm as spring in an instant. The previous heater had already been thrown aside.

Fang Xiu was lying on the grand teacher's chair, reading the novel and eating the pastry at the same time, the whole person was extremely leisurely.

At this time, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Zhao Yan walked into the room and saw Fang Xiu on the grand teacher's chair, just about to say something.

However, the next second seemed to feel the warmth of the radiator, she was startled for a moment, and then said with some surprise: "Why is it so warm here?"

Hearing her voice, Fang Xiu raised his eyes to look at her, and said lightly, "This is the heating from the radiator, and it will be installed in your room some other day."

"Heating pipes?"

Zhao Yan walked to his side and asked curiously, "What is a heating pipe?"

Fang Xiu put down the novel in his hand, stretched out his fingers to check the heating pipe, and explained: "It's just a combination of several copper pipes. You don't understand if I tell you. What can I do?"

Zhao Yan curled her lips, and did not refute, but said: "The Beijing Normal University Theater has recently put on a new play called The Strange Case of Kyoto Prefecture. You can go with me."

Hearing this, Fang Xiu glanced at her, lay back down again, and said casually, "No time."

When Zhao Yan heard this, her face became a little cold, she looked at him and asked, "Are you going?"

"Don't go!"

A manly man, he will do what he says.

If you can't go, don't go!

Fang Xiu replied very stiffly, and then continued to read his novel.

Clang————!

At this time, there was a sound of a sword being unsheathed in my ear.

Turning around subconsciously, she saw Zhao Yan pulling out a short sword at some point.

"Ask you again, do you want to go?"

Zhao Yan looked at Fang Xiu and said coldly.

Seeing this scene, Fang Xiu showed a solemn look on his face, and said very solemnly: "It is my duty as a subject to accompany Her Highness the Princess to watch a drama. Since Her Highness the Princess has made a request, I naturally have no reason not to agree... ..
