The happy life of a prodigal

Page 296

When Qian Zheng heard this, a smile appeared on his face, and he said, "With him here, we should be able to hold on until the young master takes action..."

Speaking of this, he looked at the guard beside him and said, "Go back to the city, call all the brothers over, bring food and horses, and we will live here during this time!"

"Yes, steward!"

............

Kyoto City, Fangfu

In the early morning of the next day, just after dawn, Fang Xiu was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Who?"

He got up, put on his clothes, muttered a few curses, and then pushed open the door.

"Did you just scold me?"

Zhao Yan stood at the door, a pair of beautiful eyes gleaming, looking at Fang Xiu unkindly.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu instantly became sober, shook his head, and said, "How is it possible...

What are you doing up so early? "

According to the habits of the young master of the Fang family, if nothing happened, at least he would not wake up until he was exposed to the sun for three shots.

At this time, it is really early.

Zhao Yan curled her lips and said, "Of course I went to see the house, you just promised me yesterday!"

When Fang Xiu heard this, he suddenly felt helpless.

Woke him up so early just to let me accompany her to see the house?

The sage Confucius said that only women and villains are difficult to raise...it is true.

He yawned, stretched his waist, and asked, "Anyone you like?"

Zhao Yan rolled her eyes at him and said, "If there is someone you like, do you still need you to accompany me to see it?"

It's not that she hasn't visited the house during this time.

After all, it is her own princess mansion. If there are no special circumstances in the future, but it will be a place where she will live for the rest of her life, no one cares more about it than herself.

only......

The house in the capital was either too far away from Fang's mansion, or it was on the outskirts of the city, or it was already occupied by a noble family, or it was of low quality and bad environment, and she didn't even want to take a second look at it.

Therefore, it was not because she wanted to live in Fangfu that she lived in Fangfu for such a long time after leaving the palace.

Well... that's it!

Chapter 466 I Want It All!

In the past two days, the Mu clan in the southwest has rebelled, and the news that the imperial court sent troops to the Northern Expedition has spread throughout the capital.

Everything was as Fang Xiu expected, and in just half a day, the price of the mansion in the capital had already dropped and dropped.

Among other things, it cost at least 500 taels of silver to buy a house in the north of the city that was big enough for a family, but it was impossible to buy a shop in a suitable location without 3000 taels of silver.

However, now in the north of the city, you can buy a house with an excellent environment for only 300 taels, and it also comes with free furniture.

In the whole of Gyeonggi, only in the south of the capital, the price of houses did not fluctuate much because of the Spring Wind Building and the Grand Theater of the Capital.

However, even so, there are still many merchants thinking about whether to sell their houses and leave the capital to avoid the limelight.

After all, when the two armies are at war, if one side loses, the capital of the losing side must suffer.

It would be fine if the Mu clan's rebels won, but no matter what, they would all be playing in the name of 'Qing Jun's side'.

But if the Begging Yan Department of the Grassland wins, the capital may be set on fire.

When the people of Chu State heard the news of the war, they were either excited, excited, worried, or afraid...

Of course, most of the people are still furious and want to serve the court and kill the enemy!

However, merchants value profits over righteousness, but they don't have so many ideas. They just want to quickly turn their houses into real money and run away earlier.

"Master Fang, what kind of house do you want?"

On a certain street in the east of the city, a thin young man stood half a step behind Fang Xiu.With a smile, asked.

Fang Xiu walked on the road, looked around, and asked: "Where is the best house here, take me to see it."

"Okay, Young Master Fang, this way please!"

That tooth, who is equivalent to the intermediary of future generations, heard this, with a flattering smile on his face, and hurriedly led the way ahead.

Zhao Yan next to him was a little tired from shopping, and said, "Why don't you just buy a house, anyway, I won't necessarily live there in the future..."

After shopping for a whole morning, she still couldn't find any suitable houses, and she no longer had the strength to go shopping any longer.

When Na Yazi heard this, he hurriedly turned his head and persuaded: "Miss, the house recommended by you this time will definitely satisfy you. Just work hard and take one last look. If you are not satisfied, I will put it in Chunfeng Tower." I will apologize to you at the table..."

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said casually: "Don't say these words, just lead the way ahead."

Na Yazi said flatteringly: "I will obey your orders!"

After finishing speaking, he led the way ahead. Xu deliberately quickened his pace in order to leave space for the two people behind to talk. He took a few steps forward before slowing down.

Fang Xiu looked at Zhao Yan beside him, and said angrily, "What do you mean you won't necessarily live there in the future? Could it be that you will live with me forever?"

Zhao Yan glared at him when she heard this, but did not refute.

Seeing this, Fang Xiu shook his head helplessly, and said: "If you can't do it, you can buy them all, and then you choose slowly, and when you choose one, you can choose one as your residence."

Zhao Yan was slightly taken aback when she heard this.

Immediately, with a look of surprise on his face, he looked at Fang Xiu and asked, "Really?"

Fang Xiu looked at her and asked, "When did you see that I didn't count what I said?"

Zhao Yan thought for a while and asked, "You pay me?"

Fang Xiu was speechless, nodded, and said, "Of course..."

Zhao Yan thought about it, but didn't understand what he wanted to do.

However, she knew in her heart that it was absolutely impossible for the guy in front of her to buy all the idle houses just because she picked a mansion for herself.

"up to you......"

A thoughtful look appeared on her face, and after a while, she said, "Anyway, it's your money, and I'll only pay the share of my mansion."

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "Okay."

He turned his gaze to Yazi who was leading the way, thought for a while, and said, "Who is that, come here!"

When Na Yazi heard Fang Xiu's voice, he stopped in an instant, trotted, and rushed over, with a flattering smile on his face, he asked, "Master Fang, what are your orders?"

Fang Xiu looked at him and said flatly, "You don't need to look at that house..."

When Na Yazi heard this, he was slightly taken aback, then showed bitterness, bowed his body and said: "Master Fang, it's not easy for a small one, so many houses..."

"I want all these houses."

"..."

The words behind the teeth stopped abruptly.

For such an instant, he felt as if his head had been hit by someone, and he was 'stuck'.

"All... all of them?"

After a while, he finally came to his senses, opened his mouth wide, looked at Fang Xiu in front of him with an incredulous gaze, and said in a trembling voice.

As a dentist who introduced the house, these two days were more painful than entering a dungeon.

original......

The prices of houses in the capital are high, and there are few idle ones, and even if there are idle ones, few people are willing to sell them.

Therefore, there are not many transactions that can be received.

However, at least a few businesses can be negotiated every month, and he can earn six or seven taels of silver from one business.

Calculated in this way, there are at least dozens of taels of silver in a month.

It was more than enough compared to what was not enough, and a few dozen taels of silver was enough to cover the expenses of his family, and there was still some left over.

In the past two days, the prices of houses in the capital have come down, and more people are selling them, and there are countless people who come to him every day to look for him as a toothpick.

But......

In his heart, he understood better than anyone else that this house could not be sold.

In the past, it was possible to negotiate a few deals, but now it may not be possible to negotiate a single deal.

He dared to say that no one in the entire capital knew the business of the house better than him.

At this juncture, no one is willing to buy a house!

If it is too late to sell, who will buy it?

A toothbrush can only get a commission when someone sells and someone buys.

Only people sell, but no one buys, so he can only drink northwest wind.

actually......

At this time, the houses are selling so cheaply, you can buy more houses.

As long as the war is over and the court wins, the price of this house will definitely rise.

When the time comes to sell it, it will be a large sum of money, which is even more profitable than robbing a bank.

But there is a problem here, and it is also the biggest problem, that is... Can the imperial court win?

From the current point of view, the court's chances of winning seem to be very small.

As the people of Great Chu, they naturally hope that the court can win.

But... this time the imperial court has to face the Mu's rebels and the Grassland Qiyan Department at the same time.

If they only faced one of the two, those merchants would not be so pessimistic. Even if they lost their money, they would have to sell their houses!

Chapter 467 I believe the court can win

Therefore, in his judgment, unless the imperial court achieved some great victory, no one would buy a house at this time.

This morning, he was planning to learn a craft, even selling candied haws on the side of the road might be much better than being a dentist.

But he didn't expect that he would wait for a noble person to come to his door!

This nobleman is naturally the young master of Anpingbo Mansion...Master Fang.

The name of Young Master Fang is known to everyone in the capital, not everyone.

Among them, the most famous one is Young Master Fang's 'boldness', or... prodigal.

In the eyes of others, the money used to buy a house may be the wealth accumulated for a lifetime, so be cautious.

But in the eyes of this one, it is nothing!

It was because of this that he did not give up his job as a dentist, and spent a whole day shopping with this young master Fang, choosing a suitable house.

When he heard the words 'the most expensive house', he was more excited than anyone else.

Because, the owner of the most expensive house he knew wanted to sell it for 5000 taels, that is to say, as long as the deal was done.

No need to do anything else for three or four months!

But...he obviously underestimated how 'bold' this Young Master Fang was.

"Fang, Young Master Fang, the houses you have seen before, combined together, at least cost 2 taels of silver, this..."

That tooth hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and asked the question: "Do you really want to buy them all?"

Fang Xiu glanced at him and said lightly, "Do you look at me as if I'm joking with you?"

When Na Yazi heard this, his breathing became much faster.

Just for a moment, he felt his eye sockets... red.

Unstoppable tears fell down.
