In Jiankang City, it can be said to be the golden zone among the golden zones, the real city center.
Decades ago, when the Great Chen Court had just moved to Jiankang, many people were worried that the Southern Chen Court would be destroyed by the Northern Qi Dynasty at some point due to the unstable political situation.
Therefore, in the first ten years of the Nanchen court, land prices were not very high.
However, as the political situation stabilized, coupled with Xianzong's "little resurgence", the situation in the Southern and Northern Dynasties was completely stabilized, and Nanchen gradually became prosperous, the land and housing prices in Jiankang City have become more expensive every day. Until now,
It's better to say that there are other places in the city. The houses on the edge of the imperial city are all ownerless.
Because of this, even if His Majesty the Emperor wanted to reward Shen Yi with a house, he still had to think hard and find a way to get Shilang Cheng to give up the house.
Moreover, Cheng Shilang's house is a large house with east and west across the courtyard, with four entrances and four exits. It has an excellent location. If it is sold, it can even be sold for one million taels. Even in Jiankang City, it can be sold for a million taels.
It is a first-class mansion!
After all, this is the house that Cheng "Shilang" saved after years of hard work.
Mrs. Shen blinked, still a little confused.
After being stunned for a while, she looked at Shen Yi: "Husband, this house is..."
She glanced in the direction of Miyagi.
Shen Yi didn't speak, just nodded silently.
To be honest, although this house cannot be said to be a bad thing for him, it is not a good thing either.
Because it attracts too much attention.
After Cheng Shilang was defeated, Mr. Shen took over the family's house. No matter who he was, he would have "reasonable associations".
More importantly, the emperor intended to use Cheng Shilang to issue an "anti-corruption" charter.
Although he may not be ready to take action in the past two years, in a few years, the emperor may bring up the old matter again. At that time, he will say, "I reminded you in the eleventh year of Hongde, so that you can take Cheng Bin as a lesson.
But you still don't change, so I have to be ruthless in rectifying the administration of officials."
When the time comes, the court will take action against those corrupt officials, and those who are interested will think of Shen Yi.
Although Mr. Shen does not intend to become a corrupt official, nor does he intend to interact with those corrupt officials, it is always not good to offend too many people when working as an official in the court.
Just like Lu Ruoxi said, some people may hate you in their hearts, and they may be holding back their bad intentions in their hearts, and they may take a stab at you unexpectedly.
In other words, Shen Yi's popularity in the court may become worse and worse.
Lu Ruoxi looked at Shen Yi and then at the house deed in her hand. She blinked at Shen Yi.
"I was still wondering during the day whether Shi Lang Cheng had offended some important person..."
At this point, she sighed softly: "It turns out that I offended my husband."
Seeing her expression, Shen Yi smiled and said, "This house is much better than the one we live in now. Why is Madam sighing?"
Lu Ruoxi shook her head slightly and sighed: "I heard the ladies mention the matter of Minister Cheng some time ago. Many of them complained slightly, complaining that the court's punishment was too harsh."
She looked at Shen Yi and said softly: "If we live in Shilang Cheng's house, what will people think of our family?"
Lu Ruoxi said softly: "Besides, this house is quite nice, I'm used to it..."
There are not many members of the Shen family now, so even if we include our younger brother Shen Heng and Shen Heng's family members in the future, they can still live there.
There is no immediate need to change the house.
Shen Yi nodded silently and said, "In this case, let's not rush to move. We will wait a year and a half before we move."
Having said this, Shen Yi thought for a while and continued: "By the way, the marriage between Zichang and the Chen family is scheduled for May next year. At that time..."
"I may not be able to come back in time."
"Madam, please be more careful and allow the young couple to live in this house first. When we move to Datong Street, we will give this house to my younger brother."
"It's enough room for two families."
Lu Ruoxi looked at Shen Yi and sighed slightly: "Husband, won't it be okay if you don't move?"
Shen Yi hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly: "No."
"This is a reward from His Majesty, how can we not move? But don't worry, madam, even if our family and the Ministry of Internal Affairs bought this house, in a few days my husband will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to complete the paperwork, and if people ask afterward, we will also have
Let’s talk.”
Lu Ruoxi touched her belly, was silent for a while, and then nodded.
"I wonder if Cheng Mansion has any peach blossoms..."
Mr. Shen knew that she liked to see peach blossoms, and now she had a lot of them planted in the front and back yards of Shen's house. He immediately said with a smile: "When we move there, I will go to Dongshi Street to buy some mature plants for my husband and plant them in the yard.
"
Lu Ruoxi held Shen Yi's hand, leaned into Master Shen's arms, and said slowly.
"Somehow, I always feel that these things are not practical..."
Shen Yi touched her hair and shook his head slightly.
"Madam, you are too worried. My husband has done a lot of things in the past few years. It's just a house."
Shen Yi smiled slightly
"There is nothing unreliable."
………………
The thirteenth day of the first lunar month.
Everyone in Shen's house was busy again. Several stable women were delivering babies in the room. Three men, Shen Yi, Shen Zhang, and Mrs. Lu, were standing at the door of the room waiting. Although it was the first day of the lunar month, there was sweat on the foreheads of the three of them.
.
Mr. Shen put his hands in his sleeves and waited anxiously.
The eldest son, Shen Yuan, stood in front of his father and looked up at the room from time to time. However, he was still too young, so he was not anxious at all, but more curious.
Fortunately, this time, compared to Lu Ruoxi's first birth, it was much smoother.
After a few women entered, within an hour, the sound of a baby crying could be heard in the room.
A steady woman trotted all the way and came to Shen Yi. She smiled: "Congratulations to Mr. Shen, I am very happy to have made the tiles, and I will get the pearl!"
"Mother and daughter are safe!"
She smiled a little reluctantly.
Because I know in my heart that most wealthy families don’t like daughters and prefer boys.
However, Mr. Shen was extremely happy. He picked up the son next to him and said with a smile: "Yuan'er, you have a sister!"
Shen Yuan was three or four years old at this time and basically understood everything he needed to know. He grinned and clapped his hands when he heard the words.
"Dad, I want to go in and see my sister!"
Shen Yi responded to him, then turned to the maid Ping'er beside him and said with a smile: "Ping'er, go get some reward money from some of the nuns, a big reward!"
Ping'er quickly lowered her head, responded, and quickly led several Wen Pos down to collect the rewards.
Shen Zhang was also smiling.
Although he also favors sons over daughters, he already has an eldest grandson at home, so it doesn't matter whether the second child is a boy or a girl. He immediately pulled Master Lu and said with a smile: "In-laws, let's go in and take a look together?"
Master Lu couldn't help but smile.
He has no son, he only has one daughter like Lu Ruoxi in his life. Because of this, he looks forward to this granddaughter even more.
I look forward to being a smaller little green bird.
On this day, the entire Shen family decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to celebrate that Mr. Shen of the Ministry of War received a pearl.
Many well-informed people, especially officials from the Ministry of War, have already arrived to send congratulatory gifts.
The most active one among them is naturally Zheng Ling, a member of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War. This member of Zheng waited outside the Shen family for almost a whole day. When the firecrackers went off in the Shen family, he immediately went to visit the "old leader" Shen Yi.
.
After receiving a wave of guests, it was not until the afternoon that Mr. Shen finally had some free time and returned to the backyard bedroom to be alone with his wife and little daughter.

In the room, Master Shen was holding his infant daughter in his arms, grinning from ear to ear with joy.
Lu Ruoxi on the side was lying on the bed, looking at Shen Yi who was smiling and still a little weak: "My husband seems to be happier now than when he got Yuan'er."
Mr. Shen coughed and said with a smile: "I am equally happy to have children and daughters wherever they are."
"I just saw that my daughter-in-law looked more like a lady, so I felt happy. Boys and girls are raised equally in our family."
Lu Ruoxi shook her head slightly and sighed: "It's different, my daughter's family will have a harder life after all."
This sentence is applicable in this era. Women at this time are indeed the oppressed party.
Mr. Shen glanced at his daughter who was already asleep in his arms. He still had a smile on his face, but the content of his words was no longer very polite.
"No one in this world can make my daughter's life miserable."
"Look what you said."
Lu Ruoxi only found it a little funny: "When she gets married in the future, will it be up to you?"
"Maybe when I'm fifteen or sixteen, I meet my sweetheart and even your old father won't recognize him."
What she said was just a joke, but Mr. Shen's face darkened when he heard this, as if he had seen the will-o'-the-wisp boy who abducted his daughter more than ten years later.
He still wanted to speak, but someone knocked on the door. Jiang Sheng's voice came, and he said: "Young Master, someone from the palace is here. Congratulations to the Young Master on winning the apple of his eye."
When Mr. Shen heard this, his face turned even darker.
He put his little daughter in the crib, looked back at his wife, and his face looked a little unhappy.
"Bad lady."
Lu Ruoxi blinked, not understanding what Shen Yi was talking about, she asked softly: "What's wrong, husband?"
Mr. Shen narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice,
"The one who is thinking about our daughter is here..."
