Chapter 24 Porcelain Doll Sister Flowers
In fact, Xu Jingzong's embarrassment is much more than that. Just after Yu Wenhua and killed Yang Guang, his father, Xu Shanxin, a servant of the Sui Dynasty's Ministry of Rites, swore not to obey the thief and was killed by Yu Wenhua. Xu Jingzong escaped from Jiangdu with nine deaths, defected to Wagang Li Mi, and was appointed by Li Mi as a secretary, but within a month, he joined the army in this record room and was not yet hot, Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, and now has more than 20,000 remnants of the defeated army.
As soon as Xu Jingzong saw that Li Mi's broken ship was about to sink, he fled from Liyang City to Chang'an, wanting to defect to Li Tang.
However, after Xu Jingzong came to Chang'an, he found that no one paid attention to him, whether it was his father's protΓ©gΓ© or his relatives and friends in the past.
After all, it is not a long-term solution. Xu Jingzong decided to sell the old mansion that Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian had given to his father.
Xu Jingzong planned to bribe Xu Shanxin's old friend with money, and now Feng Deyi, a scholar in the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Ying didn't know Xu Jingzong's embarrassment, but he also knew that Xu Jingzong's real career was still in the middle and late stages of Li Shimin, in the period of Gaozong Li Zhi, Xu Jingzong's greatest achievement was to boost the Empress Wu, Wu Zetian could become the only female emperor in history, it can be said that Xu Jingzong's contribution is indispensable.
Chen Ying silently labeled Xu Jingzong as a "traitor" in his head? For a person with a strong utilitarian heart like Xu Jingzong, he must not have a deep friendship, otherwise he will count the money if he sells it.
Xu Jingzong had been staring at Chen Ying's eyes, but when he saw Chen Ying hearing his name, he actually showed a trace of disgust, although Chen Ying's concealment was excellent, he was still discovered by the careful Xu Jingzong.
Xu Jingzong thought about it carefully in his head, he was sure that he definitely didn't know such a person as Chen Ying, why would he hate himself? Have you offended him before?
Xu Jingzong was puzzled.
Don't?
Xu Jingzong had a big doubt in his heart. Could it be that his ugly state in Jiangdu was rumored to Chang'an?
At the beginning of Yu Culture and the killing of Yu Shiji, Yu Shinan knelt in front of Yu Culture and died, and the world spread the name of Yu Shinan's righteousness to the world for a time. At the same time, when Yu Wenhua and Xu Shanxin were killed, Xu Jingzong actually danced with his hands, echoing Yu Wenhua and begging for mercy, making the world hateful.
Chen Yingdao: "I don't know what Mr. Xu's house is worth?" β
Xu Jingzong said: "This house, together with four maids, two cooks, one handyman, and one coachman and manu, is discounted by 1,300 yuan!" β
Chen Ying actually really likes such a house, in later generations he is a poor dick, and he is still a proletarian after more than ten years of hard work. Such a house, as Datang becomes more and more prosperous, the price will definitely get higher and higher, and it is the cheapest and most affordable to buy at this time!
Chen Ying said: "It's not a secret, I really don't have so much money in my hands. β
Xu Jingzong's price is actually very fair, and it is already considered a cheap price. He has already sent someone to inquire, to open Feng Deyi's door, it needs 1,000 yuan, plus 200 yuan up and down, it needs 1,200 yuan. If you hang this house in the dental store and send it to buy, it will be half a month, let alone sell, and there is no one who even asks the price.
Of course, this is also related to Xu Jingzong's luck too much, with the defeat of the Qin King Li Shi's militia in the shallow water plateau, and the Luoyang Wang Shichong army forced Tongguan, the entire Chang'an is panicked, and the people who fled Chang'an with their families are unknown, at this juncture, no one will definitely buy a house. finally met Chen Ying, a person who asked for a price, and Xu Jingzong naturally didn't want to miss it.
Xu Jingzong said: "Do business, pay attention to the sky-high price, pay back the money on the ground, if it is this house, it can still enter Chen Langjun's eyes, please ask Chen Langjun to give a reserve price!" β
Chen Ying groaned: "This house, in fact, is just ordinary, the business is not lovely, the price is eight hundred!" β
Xu Jingzong's face froze.
He needs 1,200 guan to make a point, and he still has a surplus of 180 guan in his hand, if it is cheaper than 180 guan, it is not impossible that this house can also be sold to Chen Ying, but the price given by Chen Ying is really beyond the bottom line in his heart.
As soon as Chen Ying saw Xu Jingzong's expression, he knew that this counteroffer was too ruthless.
Sure enough, Xu Jingzong said: "Don't hide it from Chen Langjun, I urgently need money, so I have to sell the ancestral house, but this price is too low......"
"That's a shame!"
Chen Ying led Ma Sanbao and Zhang Huaiwei towards the door.
After walking more than a dozen steps, Chen Ying quietly turned back and found that Xu Jingzong had no intention of retaining it.
"Hold the grass!" Chen Ying scolded in his heart, this Xu Jingzong really doesn't play cards according to the long reason.
But this house, Chen Ying really likes it very much. Especially the four rough girls attached to Xu Jingzong, all fifteen or sixteen years old, with good looks, although they are not glamorous in the world, at least they are still little beauties. can let such a few little girls serve every day, Chen Ying estimates that he will wake up laughing when he dreams.
Looking at Chen Yingyi's reluctant expression, Ma Sanbao said: "If Brother Chen really can't come up with the money, you can borrow some from Princess Pingyang temporarily, and then pay it back when it is convenient at hand, I think that with Brother Chen's life-threatening friendship with Princess Pingyang, Princess Pingyang still gives this face!" β
Chen Yingdao: "Let's talk about this later!" β
There is a way to say unintentionally, but listen to it with a heart. When Xu Jingzong heard Ma Sanbao say that "Chen Ying had a fateful friendship with Princess Pingyang", his face showed ecstasy. Although Feng Lun and Feng Deyi, the Zhongshu Sheren, still have some connections in the Ministry of Officials, even if he arranges a real position, he is only a foreign official below the fourth grade, but if he can really catch the door of Princess Pingyang, isn't it better than bribing Feng Lun?
"Wait......"
"What advice does Mr. Xu have?"
"Don't dare to advise!" Xu Jingzong's attitude took a 180-degree turn, and he said with a smile on his face: "Since Chen Langjun is here, you might as well drink a cup of tea and leave!" β
"That's fine!"
When Chen Ying heard that there was a secret way, he didn't expect that the words "Princess Pingyang" that Ma Sanbao inadvertently said were so valuable.
Xu Jingzong led Chen Ying and the others along the corridor of the flower garden and walked towards the teahouse.
Entering the tea room, Chen Ying was secretly surprised.
This tea room, with an area of about 100 square meters, has an antique copper stove on the center of the case, which looks like it has been around for some years. Xu Jingzong said to Lan'er: "Lan'er prepares tea!" β
"No!"
Lan'er was slightly blessed, as light as a butterfly, it didn't take long, Lan'er was holding a tray, and there were two maids wearing turquoise skirts behind Lan'er, they were actually a pair of twin sisters, like porcelain dolls, twin sisters made Chen Ying's eyes straight.
Seeing Chen Ying's gaffe, Xu Jingzong became proud.
Lan'er knelt in front of the desk with a solemn expression. The two sisters picked up charcoal and put it in the stove of the small copper stove, and then put a copper kettle on the copper stove. The other person slowly picked up the tea cake and put it into the copper kettle.
Every move is an indescribable beauty.
Zhang Huaiwei's eyes widened, and his breathing became short.
