After many twists and turns, Zhang Fei finally ended his virginity in the Northern Song Dynasty.
It’s really not easy!
It was not that he cherished his lost virginity. After he helped Cao Dongdong win the lawsuit and earned the generous commission, he planned to complete the transformation of a man. However, the first time he went to Baifan Tower, he met Gao Wenyin.
With a woman by his side, his thoughts changed, and he was no longer so anxious. After confirming his relationship with Xu Zhiqian, he had no idea of going to a brothel to solve the problem.
A few spring breezes have turned white hair.
"Yeah! It's snowing!"
Qingmei stood on the corridor, looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, her green little face showing a bit of joy.
Gao Wenyin smiled and said, "Don't look at it for now. Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu are coming soon. Go and see if Sanlang and the others are up."
According to etiquette, this morning the newlyweds had to give a congratulatory gift to their elders. Originally it was Zhang Fei's parents, but due to the special circumstances, Xu Zun asked Xu Lingxiao and Mu Zhen to complete the gift.
"Why!"
Qingmei came to the door and said, "Sister Qian'er! Sister Qian'er!"
There was no movement inside the house.
Qingmei whispered: "Strange! Usually Sister Qian'er is already up by this time!"
Gao Wenyin smiled.
Qingmei said again: "Sister Qian'er, it's time to get up. Brother and sister-in-law will be here later."
Only a murmur could be heard in the room.
A quarter of an hour later.
The newlyweds, who got married just yesterday, were sitting in front of the bronze mirror.
Zhang Fei was so proud of the spring breeze that he was full of energy. From time to time, he would flirt with Gao Wenyin, who was behind him, combing his hair, which made Gao Wenyin extremely embarrassed.
Xu Zhiqian also had a springy look on her face, she seemed more charming than yesterday, but she pouted her bright red mouth, and she still seemed childish.
"Sister Qian'er, why do you seem unhappy?"
Qingmei asked softly.
Xu Zhiqian immediately glared sideways, "It's all my fault, I've been tormented all night, and now... I'm still in pain."
By the time he said it, his voice was like a mosquito moan.
There were several spring breezes last night, but they were very hard on her. The key was that she had no power to resist. When had she, Xu Zhiqian, been suppressed like this?
Gao Wenyin pursed her lower lip, her face slightly flushed.
Although Qingmei was taught by her sister-in-law, she did not learn this step. She asked with concern: "Sister Qian'er, did the third brother hit you?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Qingmei, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. I don't have that habit. Don't scare Sister Ning Gao and ruin my good deeds."
But I felt wronged in my heart. Last night it was a little more ferocious, but you can't blame me entirely. Who made me hold it in for so long before? I couldn't clear out the inventory even after three or five times.
Gao Wenyin patted his shoulder lightly and said softly: "Okay, what are you doing to me?"
Xu Zhiqian smiled slyly and said, "Sister Gao, you are so charming, but this bad guy will not let you go."
She has long regarded Gao Wenyin as a family member, and she even feels a little guilty because she thinks it was Gao Wenyin who established a relationship with Zhang Fei first.
Gao Wenyin became anxious and stomped her feet lightly, "Zhiqian, how can you help him?"
Zhang Fei looked innocent and said: "Madam, she is not helping me. She is planning for herself. I hope you can help her share some of the firepower."
Gao Wenyin spat: "No one is serious."
While they were laughing and bickering, they finally finished dressing up.
The four of them came to the lobby again.
Li Si and Xiao Tao have been waiting there for a long time.
"Third brother, madam, morning."
There was obviously some restraint in his tone.
Although Xu Zhiqian comes here often and is very approachable, her identity is different after all. She is now the hostess here.
Xu Zhiqian smiled and said: "Don't call me Madam, just like before, call me Sister Qian'er. I still listen to Sister Gao on all matters at home."
As she said that, she hugged Gao Wenyin affectionately.
Xiao Tao and Li Si looked happy. To be honest, they liked Gao Wenyin more.
"How can this be done?" Gao Wenyin said quickly.
Xu Zhiqian said: "Why not? I don't know how to run a house at all, and I don't like doing these things."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said: "I agree with this. If Zhiqian is allowed to take care of the family, she will have to donate all the money. Soon, we will have to sleep on the street."
"Bah, bah, bah, why are you sleeping on the street on this big day?"
I heard a cry of anger.
Several people looked back and saw Xu Lingxiao and Mu Zhen walking in, followed by a maid holding a piece of silk.
"Brother! Sister-in-law!"
"Brother! Sister-in-law!"
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian immediately stepped forward and bowed.
Mu Zhen warned: "Qian'er, now that you are a woman, you must not be as willful as before."
Xu Zhiqian nodded coyly.
Zhang Fei suddenly saw that Xu Lingxiao seemed to be worried, so he said: "Brother, sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Xu Lingxiao was startled and shook his head repeatedly: "It's okay! It's okay!"
Xu Zhiqian also noticed that Xu Lingxiao had a different expression and said, "Brother, what is going on?"
Mu Zhen said quickly: "It's just a small matter, it doesn't matter. Go to the house quickly and get the business done."
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian looked at each other and didn't ask any more questions.
But after finishing the greetings, Xu Zhiqian asked again: "Brother, sister-in-law, what is going on?"
Mu Zhen glanced at Xu Lingxiao with a slight complaint, "Your brother can't hide things in his heart. In fact, it's not a big deal. It was just when we went out that Liu Yuan came out and said that the rent would be increased next year.
"
Damn it! Did it come so fast? Zhang Fei's expression changed and he wiped the tip of his nose guiltily.
Fortunately, no one noticed him.
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Why do we need to increase the rent?"
Mu Zhen glanced at Zhang Fei, pursed her lips and smiled: "This is our sister-in-law. He is so outstanding that outsiders think this place is good. Therefore, my sister-in-law lived here and became very prosperous. As a result, the rents of the surrounding houses were even higher."
It’s rising.”
Zhang Fei pretended to be surprised and said: "Is there such a thing?"
Xu Lingxiao asked: "Don't you know?"
Zhang Fei said: "I don't know."
Xu Lingxiao said: "It's strange, the rent of your house has tripled."
"three times?"
Gao Wenyin and Xu Zhiqian said in unison.
If the rent in Bianjing is to be tripled, it will be no small matter!
Zhang Fei also pretended to be surprised and said: "So many? I. I really don't know. I leave all the affairs of this house to the Chen clerk outside."
Xu Zhiqian asked again: "How much has our rent increased?"
Xu Lingxiao said: "It has doubled."
Xu Zhiqian asked hurriedly: "What should we do?"
Xu Lingxiao sighed: "We can only choose another house, alas. Actually, I don't mind if they raise the price. This house belongs to them after all, but they should notify us in advance and give us time to choose another place to live."
Zhang Fei said: "Actually, there is no need to find another house. I just plan to buy a big house, and our family can live together."
After getting married, he still wanted to have his own house, and he always felt that this house was a little too small. When Cao Dongdong and the others came, Gao Wenyin had to go to the side room to eat.
Mu Zhen asked in surprise: "My sister-in-law wants to buy a house?"
She only knew Zhang Fei's reputation, but she didn't know Zhang Fei's financial resources. She was not the kind of woman who was greedy for money, and she had never asked Xu Zhiqian about this matter.
Buying a big house is so easy for you?
The housing prices in Bianjing are very expensive!
Although she also comes from a family of officials, her father is also a high-ranking official. Because of this, his father and Xu Zun have a very good relationship, and they are like-minded.
Neither family has ever thought about buying a house in Bianjing.
They all plan to save some money and build a house in their hometown after becoming official.
Zhang Fei nodded.
Xu Lingxiao hurriedly said: "No, no, sister-in-law, this is absolutely not possible. This house in Bianjing is very expensive. Now that you are an official again, you may have to go somewhere for training in the future. This house will be wasted. But.
We can each contribute half of the rent and rent a house together, so that daddy will always have someone to take care of him."
He didn't know yet that he would stay in the capital, but he still hoped that Xu Zun could live with Zhang Fei and the others.
Xu Zhiqian also nodded repeatedly: "This is a good idea."
After saying that, she said to Zhang Fei: "Let's do it."
Zhang Fei said: "But I think the house prices in Bianjing will continue to rise. I happen to have some spare money, so I will treat it as an investment. If I sell it, not only will I not lose money, but I will make a profit. I have already
I have planned to move to a new home next year after marrying Zhiqian."
"this."
Xu Lingxiao said: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I have to ask dad for his opinion."
In ancient times, buying a house was also a major event for the family.
Xu Zun’s advice must be sought.
So they went to Xu's house again.
When giving the betrothal gift, Zhang Fei had mentioned that Xu Zunzi would not want to buy a house as a direct gift, but if Zhang Fei wanted to buy it for himself, Xu Zunzi would not object if the man started a family and started a business.
"If you want to buy a house, you can make your own decision. You don't need to ask me, but it will be enough for you to live in. I will just rent a house elsewhere."
This house has an extra courtyard, which will easily cost several thousand dollars more.
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "Father-in-law, the reason why I want to move is because I think this house is too small. I will definitely buy a bigger one with a big garden."
Xu Lingxiao and Mu Zhen were both dumbfounded.
How much money does my sister-in-law have?
This house in Bianjing with a garden is definitely a luxury house. If it were in the city, the starting price would be at least 50,000 yuan.
Xu Zun advised: "It's not easy for you to earn this money, so you'd better use it sparingly."
Zhang Fei said: "Father-in-law, when you buy a house, you don't buy oranges. If you eat them, they will be gone. If you leave this house there, it will appreciate in value. In ten years, you will probably earn tens of thousands of dollars. This is also a business."
Xu Zun still seemed a little doubtful. He had been an honest official throughout his life and never owed favors, only showing kindness to others.
After all, this son-in-law is not a son, but he still cares a little. And he doesn't want to live in such a good house, which is not in line with his values.
This value also directly affects Xu Lingxiao and Xu Zhiqian.
Zhang Fei knew what Xu Zun was thinking, so he said: "My son-in-law is able to be today only because of his father-in-law's care. In fact, a long time ago, my son-in-law has regarded his father-in-law as a father. He also hopes that his father-in-law can show him filial piety."
Opportunity."
After hearing this, Xu Zun looked a little moved. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you."
Over there, Chen Maoqian had already taken care of Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei also wants to get this matter done as soon as possible. He still doesn’t know when he will leave Beijing next year. It is better to move sooner rather than later!
On the second day, Zhang Fei took Gao Wenyin, Xu Zhiqian and Chen Maoqian to the left wing to view the house.
"Although this is not the most luxurious location, as far as we businessmen are concerned, it is the best. It is adjacent to Pan Street at the top and Bianhe Street at the bottom. It is very convenient to travel, and it is not far from the Imperial City."
Chen Maoqian introduced.
The most luxurious areas must be where the princes and nobles live, such as the Cao family and the Han family. Zhang Fei couldn't even buy them if he wanted to.
Zhang Fei asked: "How big is it?"
Chen Maoqian said: "There are sixty-eight rooms, divided into three courtyards in the front, middle and back, and four small courtyards on the left and right. The privacy is very good, and there is also a garden."
Gao Wenyin exclaimed: "This is too big!"
Li Si followed to see Xiao Tao, who was shivering. I can't clean this by myself!
Xu Zhiqian also whispered: "Zhang San, don't we need to buy such a big one?"
Chen Maoqian chuckled and said: "Mrs. Zhang, with Sanlang's current financial resources, it is more than enough to buy this house."
The tax calculation business of Bianjing Law Firm is simply a bug.
Not to mention there is an authentic bookstore.
Moreover, when buying a house in the Northern Song Dynasty, the area was not counted, but the frame was usually counted. Sixty-eight rooms sounds like a lot, but you must know the structure of ancient houses. If you want to make a spacious lobby, you need to use very thick wood as the beams and columns.
, because the Tang Dynasty cut too much, the imperial city of the Song Dynasty was far less majestic than the Tang Dynasty.
This is especially true among the people. The bedrooms are all suites, which are counted as four rooms, and there are various miscellaneous rooms, thatched rooms, servants' quarters, guest rooms, etc.
Generally, when these ministers of the fourth rank and above return to their hometowns to build houses, they start with more than a hundred houses.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't say that outside the staff, how much does it cost?"
Chen Maoqian said: "Eighty-three thousand guan, this is already the lowest price."
Gao Wenyin couldn't help but gasp.
When Xu Zhiqian heard the price, she already guessed what the price was. She looked at Zhang Fei, hoping that he would consider it again.
Zhang Fei just thought about it for a moment and said, "That's it."
