Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 250
Half an hour later, the carriage that Fan Ning was riding in slowly stopped at the gate of the Jingxueya Pedestrian Street. Fan Ning got off the carriage first, then turned around and handed his arm to Zhu Pei, and Zhu Pei got out of the carriage slowly with his arm.

Jian Meizi curled her lips secretly from behind, when she was practicing martial arts in the mansion, she could easily jump off the one-foot-high platform, but now it is only two feet high and needs someone to support her.

"Is it here?"

Zhu Pei looked at the sign above, "It turns out that this is just a tooth shop!
"Yan Ren and I have signed a commission agreement, so we have to find Ya Ren first."

"Then you go! I won't go in."

Zhu Pei saw that there was a lot of people and the noise in the Yamen, so she didn't want to go in. She told Fan Ning again, "Don't settle down immediately, let me help you look at the house before we talk about it, so as not to be fooled in the end!"

Zhu Pei can speak now. She never mentioned that the house needs to be liked by herself, but to help Fan Ning as a friend. Of course, if she doesn't like it, she will have a thousand reasons to persuade Fan Ning not to buy it. .

Fan Ning agreed, and walked quickly into the Yaren's shop. As soon as he arrived at the door of the Yaren's shop, Pan Sanlang ran out excitedly, "I still want to go to the Imperial College to find officials!"

"Any news from the Yang family?"

"Early this morning, I went to the other house to ask for news. The housekeeper told me that the Yang family agreed to sell the house to officials, and the formalities can be completed today. Why don't we formally sign a dental contract now?"

The house and land sales contracts in the Song Dynasty were all officially formulated, and each contract had a number, which made it easier for the government to collect deed taxes, and private transactions were strictly prohibited.

The government encourages reporting. Once the report is verified, not only will the real estate be directly confiscated by the government, but the whistleblower will be rewarded with half the value of the real estate. It is precisely under such strict regulations that few people trade privately, and the cost of breaking the law is too great up.

Fan Ning smiled, "Let's take a look at the house again, a friend of mine also wants to know more about it."

Pan Sanlang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little anxious, "The officials won't go back on their word again!"

"It's not regretting. I was a little hot-headed yesterday. I calmed down today. I just want to take another look. If there are no major flaws, I can settle down today."

Fan Ning was telling the truth, not because Jupe wanted to check it out, but because he himself felt that buying a house should not be settled in a flash of enthusiasm, and he had to take a look after he calmed down.

In fact, there are still many things he doesn't understand, such as whether the river is clean or not?Where is the other side of the house?
Although it is unlikely to be a grave house, could it be a haunted house?He had better figure this out. He was still laughing at Cheng Zetu for buying a graveyard house for cheap yesterday. Didn't he also want to buy cheap for himself?Don't make the same mistake again.

Pan Sanlang had no choice but to nod his head, "Okay! Let's go there now, and I'll call the bullock cart."

Fan Ning said apologetically, "I will go in a friend's carriage. Mr. Pan can go there by himself in an ox cart! I will pay for the carriage."

Of course, Pan Sanlang knew that those who could travel in a carriage in the capital were very wealthy and expensive, and people's carriages were not something he could ride in.

He nodded and said, "Then I will borrow a donkey to ride there, it will be more convenient."

"Okay! I'll wait for you at the gate of the other house."

Fan Ning walked out of the tooth shop and said to Zhu Pei: "The Yang family agrees to sell it, let's go to see the house and learn more about the surrounding situation."

Seeing that he did not sign the contract recklessly, Zhu Pei was delighted, praised and laughed greatly: "This is what it looks like to buy a house. You can decide to buy it just by looking at it."

The two got into the carriage, and the carriage drove into Zhuquemen Street and headed westward. After a while, they arrived at Feiyun Bridge. Fan Ning said to the coachman, "Turn right ahead and walk into the alley."

The carriage took a few more steps, then turned around and got off the official road, heading for the alley on the right.

"Did you see that high wall? That's the house." Fanning pointed to the high wall in the distance and said to Jupe.

Zhu Pei looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "Those trees are not bad, very old-fashioned!"

The carriage stopped in front of the gate, Jian Meizi went down first, and the carriage continued to move forward to the northernmost part of the house. Fan Ning hadn't been here yesterday. If it was a garbage station or something, wouldn't it be a spoiler?

He soon discovered that this side was also a big house, with a larger scale, covering an area of ​​about [-] acres, and the plaque hanging on the door read the words 'Wu Consort Mansion'.

Fan Ning was puzzled, turned around and asked, "Who is Wu Concubine?"

Zhu Pei thought for a while and said: "The eldest daughters of today's emperor all died young, and the eldest princess is only three years old. The first emperor Zhenzong only had two daughters, one died early, and the other became a priestess. It is estimated that this concubine Wu is Emperor Taizong's son-in-law."

"The external environment here is not bad, what do you think?" Fan Ning asked again with a smile.

"The only fly in the ointment is that it faces the street to the south. It's okay if you can't hear the noise."

"I shouldn't be able to hear it. I went to see the house yesterday, and I didn't hear any sound from outside. Moreover, the three shops outside are all jewelry and cloth shops, and there is no greasy smell behind the restaurant."

The carriage turned around and drove towards the gate. At this time, Jian Meizi got into the carriage and said in a low voice: "I asked three families just now, and they all said that there was no murder in this house. Some people said that there are too many descendants of the Yang family. This house is not easy to dismantle, so it is sold for silver."

Fan Ning is right when he thinks about it. It is said in the novel that six of Yang Ye’s seven sons died, but in history, only the eldest son of his seven sons died in the battle against the Liao Kingdom, and none of the other six died. Marry another wife and have children, and it has been handed down for several generations. There are at least 80 to [-] people. No matter how many houses the Yang family has, it is not enough.

It's just that Fanning still can't figure out why it should be sold at a low price.

At this time, Pan Sanlang rode a donkey from afar, and he saw Zhu's gorgeous carriage from a long distance. Usually only relatives of the emperor would ride in such a carriage. This surprised him secretly, and reminded himself not to Talking nonsense.

Fan Ning got out of the carriage, and Zhu Pei followed behind him. Fan Ning smiled and said, "Please trouble Mr. Pan."

Pan Sanlang repeatedly said: "Where! Where! This is my job, let's go in!"

He stepped forward to pat the door knocker, and the small door opened. The butler saw Fan Ning, opened the door quickly, and said with a smile, "It happens that my master is here, please come in first, and I will report to the master!"

Fan Ning led Zhu Pei into the gate of the mansion. Zhu Pei looked at Zhaobi and whispered to Fan Ning, "This is Lingbi Stone. Such a complete big stone costs at least [-] guan. Doesn't this family know?"

Fan Ning shook his head, "I don't think the other party will sell this stone, and they will definitely move it away."

"why?"

"Because the painting engraved on it, if I'm not wrong, it should be Yang Yanzhao, this is Yang Wenguang's father, he will not give his father's statue to others, he will definitely move this screen wall."

Ju Pei smiled and said, "If it's the statue of the master's father, I don't think you would want it either."

She walked around the screen wall, and the layout in front of her made her exclaim. Fan Ning said triumphantly, "It's not bad! I like this layout too."

There was unconcealable love in Zhu Pei's eyes. Although she came from a wealthy family, she didn't even have such a palace-like layout in her family.

"The servant's room and the kitchen are on the north side, covering an area of ​​about two acres. Enter through that small door." Fan Ning pointed to a small doorway on the north side.

"It's really good!" Zhu Pei praised sincerely.

At this time, a middle-aged man in his fifties walked quickly, and he was tall and tall, with a strong back and a pair of eyes that were especially piercing.

This person is Yang Wenguang, the son of Yang Yanzhao, who is currently serving as the commander of the Forbidden Army, and his official rank is the sixth-rank Zhaowu Lieutenant. His official position is not high, and the main reason is that he has no chance to fight the enemy.

"I've heard of Fan Shaolang's name for a long time, I'm Yang Wenguang, welcome Shaolang to come and see the house!"

Fan Ning hurriedly replied, "I have heard of General Yang's name for a long time, especially your father is a hero I have admired since I was a child!"

Fan Ning's words are right or wrong. In this life, he never cared about Yang Yanzhao, but in his other life, he grew up listening to the storytelling "General Yang".

Fan Ning spoke so sincerely that even Zhu Pei was surprised. When did Fan Ning worship Yang Yanzhao?She knows Fanning's background better than anyone else.

Yang Wenguang was very moved, and said quickly: "Thank you Shaolang for your high evaluation of the Yang family, please sit in the middle hall!"

At this moment, Zhu Pei whispered to Fan Ning, "Sister Jian and I went to the back house to have a look."

Although her voice was low, Yang Wenguang heard it. He thought Zhu Pei was Fan Ning's younger sister, so he smiled and said, "Young lady, just go. There is no one living in the back house. I'll ask the housekeeper to take you there."

Yang Wenguang ordered the officials, and then Zhu Pei took Jian Meizi and followed the housekeeper to the back house.

Fan Ning followed Yang Wenguang to the one-acre high-rise building, and saw a sign on it that said Yonglie Building.

"The first floor of this building is the living room. There are three living rooms and four guest rooms. The second floor is the main hall, dining room and daily living room. The third floor is the study room. It is not only the master's outer study room, but also the children's reading room A place to study."

Yang Wenguang first introduced this unique building to Fan Ning. He pointed to the side and said with a smile: "The stairs are independent and have no influence on the rooms. There is actually an attic upstairs, which is currently closed."

When Fan Ning walked into the living room, he felt that the living room was very spacious. One floor is one mu of land, more than 600 square meters. The living room is spacious and has many rooms.

The tables and chairs in the living room are about [-]% new, and not too old. Although it is not the best rosewood, it is the best golden nanmu. In the Song Dynasty, this was the first choice for the palace and dignitaries to make furniture.

And even this building is made of nanmu, which is just fragrant nanmu, which is slightly inferior to golden nanmu.

Yang Wenguang said with a smile: "I heard that Fan Shaolang wanted to buy my house. I am very happy. You must know that Lingzu and I have a deep friendship. At the beginning of the fifth year of Qingli, Lingzu was appointed as the appeasement envoy of Shaanxi Fourth Road. He valued him highly and I became his subordinate. It's a pity that Song Xia soon reached a covenant, and the war subsided."

Fan Ning was very surprised. He didn't know that Fan Zhongyan and Yang Wenguang still had such a friendship. No wonder Yang Wenguang agreed to sell the house to him.

Fan Ning said with a smile: "My grandfather has already returned to Beijing, when can you get together again."

"That's for sure. I will definitely visit him."

Yang Wenguang pondered for a while and said: "The selling price of this house is set by the family. I can't make it cheaper. Otherwise, I will leave the furniture to Fan Shaolang. In addition, if Fan Shaolang likes the screen wall, he can also keep it."

"Who is the general on the screen wall?"

"It's my father!"

"Since it is the ancestor of General Yang, how can I want it? General Yingbi can take it back, and I can buy another one."

Yang Wenguang secretly heaved a sigh of relief, he must take that screen wall away, it is a souvenir of his father, how can he sell it?
