Honglouchun

In the vicinity of West Chang'an Avenue, Dali Temple, Taipu Temple, Taichang Temple, Criminal Ministry, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Luan Yiwei and other government offices are mostly purchased in Xidan, and this place is becoming more and more prosperous.

But also every inch of land and every inch of gold.

In Xixie Street, which is a distance away from Xidan Archway, Jia Qiang and Xue Pan detoured for half a day, and finally saw Feng Ziying and Jiang Yuhan.

Most of the streets in Shenjing City are south, north, east, and west, and there are very few side streets.

The few Xiejie streets are mostly the old river channels, which were formed according to the direction of the ancient river channels.

Xixie Street is one of them.

The water of the Jinshui River has been cut off so far, and the river has been dried up and buried. Only a few bends in the hutong can vaguely see the original appearance of the river, which is rare in Duanfang Shenjing City.

"Why are you here? I turned eight hundred corners, and I almost lost my mind!"

Xue Pan complained.

Feng Ziying said with a smile: "Brother Qiang asked for a good place, quiet, and the price of the location. It was not easy to find this place. I entrusted many friends, but none of them were suitable. I never thought that Qiguan would find it." Here, everything fits."

Jia Qiang looked at Jiang Yuhan. Although he knew that the water for this famous actress was very deep, behind him stood the mansion of Prince Zhongshun, the enemy of the Jia family.

However, with Jia Qiang's current weak connection with the Jia family, he doesn't have the noble character to worry about those who are still intoxicated.

Furthermore, even if Prince Zhongshun wanted to involve him in the future, it was better to know oneself and the enemy at this moment than to be blind.

Seeing Jia Qiang looking over, Jiang Yuhan smiled slightly, full of playfulness, and said softly: "I also entrusted an old benefactor to get this house. It was originally the house of a general who ruled the country, and he entered it three times. There are a total of fifty or sixty rooms, and a garden. It is enough to be our hall. Let’s go in and have a look?"

A group of people entered, and the three gates were tall, but the paint was a bit old, but it was still hard to conceal the grandeur.

After entering the door, you can see a screen wall, hand-painted verandah, rockery, hanging flower gate, vestibule, back house, kitchen and stables.

What's even more rare is that the East Road Court actually set up a stage.

Jiang Yuhan said with a smile: "The original owner here is a theater fan. He built a theater troupe at home and left it here. If it's too much of a hindrance, just demolish it."

Jia Qiang shook her head and smiled, "It's unnecessary to demolish it. There will always be people who like to listen to the opera, so there is no need to build it again. Qiguan, how much is this house worth at the market price?"

Jiang Yuhan was startled when he heard the words, and then smiled and said, "Second Lord, you can use it if you want, not to mention that I am also one of the owners of the guild hall."

Jia Qiang paused, and said bluntly: "It's an acquaintance, although the acquaintance is shallow, but I think sincerity is still the most important thing in getting along, so I will say some things directly. If you can always be your own master, Qiguan, If we take advantage of this advantage, we will take advantage of it. Finding compensation elsewhere is the long-term solution. I am afraid that you will inevitably encounter times when you cannot help yourself. At that time, it will be difficult for the guild to advance or retreat. Therefore, if you can It is best to take over at the market price.”

Jiang Yuhan's complexion changed suddenly at first, but then slowly returned to normal. A pair of peach blossom eyes looked at Jia Qiang fascinatedly, and then looked at a jujube tree not far away in a daze, and said softly: "What the second master said is very true. , I was originally a lowly person who couldn't help myself, and I was not worthy to associate with you..."

Without waiting for Jia Qiang and others to argue, he waved his hands and smiled again: "A few complaints are just for the sake of hypocrisy, not ignorance of good and bad. Since the second master has said the truth from the bottom of his heart, then sell this house to the second master." Forget it, the market price is about 4000 taels of silver, let’s count it as 4000 taels.”

Jia Qiang looked at Feng Ziying and said, "It's really 4000 taels? It should be more than that, right?"

Before Feng Ziying said anything, Jiang Yuhan said anxiously, "Second Master doesn't believe me?"

Feng Ziying also laughed and said: "This place is indeed much cheaper than other hutongs. The ones in the north and south are more expensive. Xiejie always gives people an unsquare feeling, so officials and gentlemen seldom like this place. They would rather spend 2000 taels more Look elsewhere."

But what he didn't say is that more than 4000 taels is not an accurate number, 900 taels is more than 4000 taels, and 4000 taels is also more than [-] taels.

No matter how inclined this place is, it is only a few streets away from the imperial city, and the surroundings cleverly avoid the aristocratic atmosphere of the original palace.

Without knowing it, Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Okay, then 4000 taels."

Jiang Yuhan burst out laughing when he heard the words, he had already sung about being born as a young girl in Tsing Yi, and there was so much affection in his eyebrows and eyes, this smile was like a peach blossom blooming, and it actually surpassed most women in the world.

Feng Ziying gazed appreciatively, Xue Panzhu was completely exposed, but Jia Qiang shuddered suddenly, and kept a respectful distance in her heart.

As if seeing Jia Qiang's attitude, Jiang Yuhan sighed in his heart, took out a paper deed from his pocket, looked at Jia Qiang and said sincerely: "If the second master still thinks highly of me and doesn't mind being friends with Youling, please accept it first." Get this deed. I also took over the house yesterday, and it's clean inside."

Jia Qiang felt sorry when she heard the words, she looked at Jiang Yuhan helplessly and said, "Qi Guan, I have never underestimated you, let alone despised you. Who doesn't want to be born rich? Who doesn't want to be perfect? ​​It's just many things, not us. You can decide for yourself. But no matter what, as long as our hearts are clean and pure, we are clean. Don’t misunderstand my opinion of you. Although I am not used to getting too close between men, I still think you are friend."

Hearing the words, Jiang Yuhan shed two lines of tears lightly, opened and closed a pair of peach blossom eyes, nodded and said: "If I can get this, I will be worth it."

Jia Qiang laughed and said: "Don't you say that, I will deliver the money within three days at the most, I won't take your house with just one word, so what's the matter?"

Feng Ziying and Xue Pan watched it very interestingly, and burst out laughing.

Even Xue Pan, who is usually the most profane, didn't say anything at the moment, because he could also see that Jia Qiang's intentions were indeed pure, and in his opinion, this was very rare.

Jiang Yuhan may have something, but Jia Qiang's attitude is clear and outspoken, and that little thing has become nothing.

Pure friends are actually not bad.

Xue Pan was just curious: "Brother Qiang, even if the barbecue really earns money, it's impossible to earn 4000 taels of silver in less than a month, right?"

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "I don't take money from that business anymore, there are other ways, but don't worry."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be talking arrogantly, the others didn't say anything more, and they revisited the three-entry house together, and heard Jia Qiang talk about some interesting plans that had never been heard before...

……

Chapter 59 Aunt Lin

After coming out of the new house, Jia Qiang and Xue Pan, Jiang Yuhan and Feng Ziying together wanted to say goodbye.

Jiang Yuhan repeatedly told Jia Qiang not to worry, he didn't wait for money, Feng Ziying and Xue Pan continued to discuss how to redeem more official prostitutes from the Jiaofang Division.

The guild hall needs maids, and Jia Qiang said that he also needs a group of female musicians who understand instrumental music, and some female historians who understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Goulan Hutong on Dongsi South Street naturally has such ones, but the price is inevitably more expensive.

The Jiaofang Division is different. It is the place where the wives of offenders are confiscated, and it is also the garden of official prostitutes.

If there is no way to redeem people from the inside, it will naturally be expensive.

But if there is a way, it will be much easier.

One approval note can take away a series of documents from the Jiaofang Division, especially in the past few years, Emperor Long'an has had a group of high-ranking officials...

But this way is hard to find, because the Jiaofang Division is under the rule of the Ministry of Rites, but the forces of the Jia family and the Feng family are all in the army.

When they talked about parting, they didn't come up with a plan, so they could only turn around and think about their own ideas. After saying goodbye, Jia Qiang and Xue Pan returned to Rongguo Mansion, Lixiangyuan together under the escort of the two of them.

At the door, Jia Qiang didn't dismount, but said to Xue Pan, "Brother Xue, I'm going back to Qingta Temple tonight, I have something to deal with, so I won't rest here."

Xue Pan was very sorry when he heard the words: "Today is so happy, you have such a nice new house again, we should have a good drink, why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "I still have 4000 taels of famine on my back, so naturally I have to go back and raise funds."

Xue Pan immediately said: "If you are short of money, I can lend you first! Between us brothers, why bother to talk heresy?"

4000 taels of silver is no longer a small sum, and to spend such a large sum of money, it is natural that Aunt Xue needs to be alarmed.

But Xue Pan believes that his mother will support him, and if she doesn't support him making a fuss, she will support it. After all, there is also his career in the guild hall...
