Chapter 193 Buying a Big Mansion
Going north along Xuanwu Street, Shen Xian looked around at the shops on the street.

The lady proprietress of the tailor shop is wearing ostentatious clothes to welcome customers, and the signboard of the medical clinic, which has been eroded by wind and rain for many years, is still standing, and there are four big characters of Miaoshouhuichun hanging on the door.

The food stalls along the street are full of fragrance, and there are all kinds of inns and restaurants.

Turning a corner, there is a magnificent mansion. The two stone lions in front of the gate are majestic. The vermilion gate is very imposing. The plaque on the gate has been removed, which means that this mansion is now ownerless. .

"Hehehe, madam, this is it."

The shopkeeper of the dental shop stopped and let out a laugh like a crowing.

Yuechan pulled Shen Xian's sleeve excitedly, and said happily: "Madam, what a big house, do we really want to live here in the future?"

Shen Xian smiled lightly when he heard the words: "That's natural."

This yard is just the beginning, when Yan Chongluan comes to the Capital Development Firm, maybe she will be able to buy the largest house in the capital in the future.

The shopkeeper of the dental shop took Shen Xian to visit the house. The marble wall at the entrance was inlaid with white jade carvings, which blocked the sight of the visitors. When entering the front yard from the side, the sight suddenly opened up.

The facing parlor has upturned eaves and corners. It is magnificent and solemn, and it is the best place to entertain guests.

Go back along the corridor, step through the atrium, and enter the backyard. The flowers inside are just in bloom, which means that there are always people taking care of them.

Taking a closer look, Shen Xian could hardly see anything wrong.

"Shopkeeper, don't look at it, it's just this house."

From the front to the back, Shen Xian's feet were sore, and the house of this rich family protruded with a bend.

The shopkeeper of the dental shop beamed with joy, took out a writing brush that he carried with him, dipped it in his saliva, and skillfully wrote out a transaction contract.

Putting both hands in front of Shen Xian, the shopkeeper of the dental shop said with a smile: "Madam, please take a look, if there is no problem, just sign it."

Shen Xian took it over and took a look, there was basically no problem, when her eyes fell on the amount, she frowned slightly.

5000 taels, this price is not low, Shen Xian has inquired about the price in advance, this kind of house with three entrances and three exits, 1 taels will be enough.

Although she is not short of money now, it does not mean that she is a big wronged person. The shopkeeper is not a real person.

Seeing Shen Xian frowning, the shopkeeper of the dental shop hurriedly said with a laugh: "Madam, the price is a bit more expensive, but it's worth the money. In this location, with this decoration, you can't find another one with the lanterns on. "

Shen Xian picked up the pen, said with a chuckle: "The shopkeeper is right, although the price is a bit high, but who makes me like it?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Madam is a person who knows how to enjoy, and money can't buy you happiness, right?"

The big fish is about to bite the hook, and the shopkeeper's eyes are lost.

Shen Xian winked at Yuechan, and then she was about to write and sign.

Before going to the tooth shop, Shen Xian had already considered this situation, so he had discussed countermeasures with Yuechan in advance.

Yuechan hurriedly stopped Shen Xian, and said in a slightly anxious tone: "Master, you can't sign it. If Master Hanlin knows that you spent so much money to buy a house, he will definitely be unhappy."

The shopkeeper's eyelids twitched, thinking he had heard wrong.

Shen Xian freed his hand, and said in a dissatisfied tone, "My grandpa is such a big official, being a granddaughter can't make him lose face, this house must be bought."

The shopkeeper of the tooth shop took a long breath. It was really Hanlin's daughter. He broke out in a cold sweat and quickly drew the contract he had drawn up.

Although there is no profiteering or businessmanship, the shopkeeper of the dental shop only dares to cheat outsiders, like this kind of person with a big background, even if he has a hundred guts, he will not dare to dig a hole.

Shen Xian raised his eyes slightly, pretending to be puzzled and asked: "What does the shopkeeper mean?"

"Oh! Hehehe, it's like this...uh..." The shopkeeper of the dental shop rolled his eyes quickly, making up nonsense in his heart.

"Oh!" The shopkeeper of the dental shop clapped the back of his hands, with a look of belated awareness, "Madam, I'm really sorry, I'm so old-fashioned, this house is 5000 taels, it's clearly 1 taels Two, I almost misremembered."

Seeing his acting so realistically, Shen Xian secretly laughed in his heart, and said in conjunction with his performance: "Oh? It's a good thing that the shopkeeper can remember, otherwise my grandpa would have appointed someone to cheat me."

The shopkeeper of the dental shop was as big as a bucket, waved his hand and said, "How can that be, we are all operating with integrity!"

I almost believed what I said, the shopkeeper of the dental shop tore up the old contract, and then re-drafted the contract, changing the price to 1 taels.

Shen Xian took over the contract and after confirming that it was correct, he wrote his name on it.

After signing the contract in duplicate, the shopkeeper of the tooth shop showed a relieved expression. He almost fell into a pit without reading the old almanac when he went out today.

"Ma'am, there are still some old things in this house that need to be removed. You will be able to move in in about three days."

Three days is not long, but Tongfu Inn is quite comfortable, the proprietress speaks nicely, and the cook cooks delicious food.

Shen Xian got up slowly, and kept the contract close to her body.

"Then I'll go back first. After three days, I'll pay you the banknote, and then you will hand over the house to me."

"sure."

The purchase of the house went extremely smoothly, Shen Xian took the little maid for a walk along the street before returning to the Tongfu Inn.

As soon as she entered the door, Shen Xian threw herself into Zhao Shun's arms like a swallow throwing herself into the forest.

Zhao Shun hugged her skillfully, took a sip of her fragrance and said, "Just now your mother came and said that a banquet was held at the Hanlin Mansion tonight to invite us to clean up the dust. Shall we go?"

"Go, of course."

It was related to Zhao Shun's channel to enter the official career, Shen Xian agreed without hesitation.

Zhao Shun nodded slowly. It would be a good thing if Gu Hanlin could pave the way for him as promised.

In Zhao Shun's memory, Gu Hanlin was among the first to join Yuwenji when the palace changed.

If he can go to the officialdom under his recommendation, Yuwenji's forces will have less doubts about him, and it will be easier to break into the inside.

Shen Xian thought for a while in silence, then raised his head and said: "Do we have to buy some gifts, is it against the rules to go empty-handed?"

"That's right, when visiting elders, the etiquette should be thoughtful."

Considering these, Shen Xian stood up from Zhao Shun's arms, and took Zhao Shun out to buy gifts, no matter what they bought, they had to be meaningful.

In the evening, Shen Xian and Zhao Shun came out of Tongfu Inn each carrying a gift covered in a red cloth.

The carriage of Hanlin Mansion was waiting outside early, and the two got on the carriage and went straight to Hanlin Mansion.

At this time, the Hanlin Mansion has also made a simple arrangement, and the people from the first room and the second room are all gathered, but the atmosphere is a bit subtle.

The figure in the second room was alone, Gu Lanshu was the only one with two maids.

And Dafang is indeed a lot of individuals, all of them have vague contempt on their faces.
