Lin Wancheng sighed bitterly, he knew that his son was not worthy of the flower-like daughter of Zhang Jiaotou's family.

Although Zhang Jiaotou is also the head of the forbidden army, he is the "old forbidden army", and since the time when the old ancestor beat the yellow robe of the emperor Yizu, he has eaten in Kaifeng. At that time, the houses in Kaifeng Mansion were cheap, and there were far more opportunities to receive meritorious service rewards than in this peaceful and prosperous era now.

So the Zhang family is an ancestral product reliable!

Moreover, the head of Zhang Jiaotou is famous, he doesn't know martial arts at all, teach a fart!

The real ability of this sect leader is in carpentry work, and he is one of the best carpenters in the north of the city, known as Zhang Carpenter. So I don't usually go to the barracks, but I take my two sons at home (who are also the forbidden army defending Kaifeng Mansion, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty) to build wooden tools, and there are always thousands of dollars a year.

His daughter, if she wants to get married, she has to accompany a dowry of several thousand, how can Lin Chong, who has no house, climb it?

"Then I don't want Zhang Niangzi......"

"Daddy......" Lin Chong couldn't help but open his mouth when he heard his father's words, but he didn't know what to say with one mouth.

Although he likes Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang's affection for him is actually not very deep, the two of them are more than ten years apart, and they are not childhood sweethearts. The little girl's family saw that he was good at martial arts and handsome, so they liked it a little.

But how can this bit of liking be better than a house bigger than the sky in Kaifeng City?

"No, no," Lin Wancheng shook his head and said, "Just marry someone who has no dowry, I think the girl of the Guo family is good, her appearance is no worse than that of Mrs. Zhang, and she is a world friend, and she knows the roots." ”

The girl of the Guo family he said is Guo Xiaoxiao, Guo Jing's sister-in-law.

"No, no." Mrs. Gao still shook her head, "I may be able to do it two months earlier, but now there is no hope." ”

"What? Already made a promise? ”

"People haven't allowed it yet," Gao Niangzi said, "It's just that Guo Sanlang has made a fortune, and he has been looking for a house these days, and I heard that he has taken a fancy to a house with a paved surface next to Wazi in the north of the state, and he has placed an order." ”

"A house with a pavement?" Lin Wancheng exclaimed, "Then it must be more than 10,000?" ”

"It's more than 10,000," Gao Niangzi said enviously, "This Guo Sanlang is capable, he bought a house at a young age, and the daughter of which family wants to follow him, but he is really blessed."

By the way, his sister-in-law is not married, and she said that she would be a concubine for the rich man on Panlou Street. ”

The rich man on Panlou Street is Wu Haogu! After receiving a few thousand yuan of income for the second time, Guo Jing and Guo Jing's mother-in-law were determined to give Guo Xiaoxiao to Wu Haogu as a concubine!

"To be a concubine?" Lin Wancheng said hurriedly, "How can a good girl be a concubine?" This Guo Sanlang is too unreasonable. ”

"Why is it not like to be a concubine?" Gao Niangzi rolled her eyelids, "Now the daughters of the forbidden army, are there fewer concubines?"

Marrying a useless red guy like a slave is a lifetime of hardship! I knew that it was like this today, and when I was young, I also became a concubine for a big family. ”

"Why don't your officials have the ability?" Lin Wancheng said, "Lu Xiaoyi's 100 steps through Yang can be counted in the forbidden army. ”

Gao Niangzi's husband's surname is Lu, and his single name is a humble character, and the relationship with the Lin family's father and son is very good, and he will definitely not sell Lin Chong's wife to Gao Yanei, because Lin Chong has no lady at all......

Although this Lu Qian is an "old forbidden army", he is a rare hero who can also ride a horse and shoot arrows.

But it's useless, and I can't afford to buy a house in Kaifeng Mansion. And Lu Qian in reality also has to face a cruel reality than the novel - Lin Chong, who has no house, doesn't even have a lady, do you ask Lu Qian to take the bottom to curry favor with Gao Yanei?

Besides, Gao Yu's sons are all well-behaved readers, and they are all good babies, how can they go to Lin Chong's lady who doesn't know where she is?

"What's the use?" Mrs. Gao gritted her teeth, "I don't know how to learn a craft, and I haven't had a house for many years?" caused the old lady to squeeze in the barracks with him for more than ten years! ”

"Alas......" Lin Wancheng sighed, "Who is calling this peaceful and prosperous world!" ”

If it is a troubled time, the father and son of the Lin family, who have a lot of skills, will either become generals, or die on the battlefield and end up clean.

It's just that in this world, heroes like them can only suffer from death.

Gao Niangzi also sighed: "Lao Lin Sect Head, slave look, the girl in Kaifeng City is still forgotten, it is better to go outside to find one."

If your family is out of Kaifeng Mansion, you can be regarded as a rich family, and you can buy hundreds of acres of high-quality fertile land, so why worry about not finding a lady? ”

Kaifeng Mansion is an inch of land in the city, but out of the city immediately cheaper, if it is far away from Kaifeng Mansion, the price of high-quality land is a few acres of land.

Lin Chong's father and son immediately turned into landlords and old wealth, and their wives were naturally able to marry.

"How can it be so easy?" Lin Wancheng sighed, "I'm used to living in Kaifeng Mansion, how can I go outside?"

And it's not easy to buy land and collect rent, my family is thin, and there is no official body, if you buy land near Kaifeng Mansion, you may not be able to collect rent. ”

Although there are high housing prices in Kaifeng City, it is easy to make money. The father and son of the Lin family are now taking the salary of the official family, and at the same time taking some work as a bodyguard, and they can always have a small 200 taels left after eating and using it in a year.

If you go out of Kaifeng City, the money will not come easily.

As for the local owner who bought the land, there was not much benefit to the father and son of the Lin family, who had no official status and were not a big family.

Not only will the local officials press up all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but even the tenants will resist and refuse to pay rent. The Lin family's father and son can fight, but do they really dare to kill tenants who don't pay rent?

"Then marry a lady and go back to Kaifeng Mansion," Gao Niangzi said, "Now many soldiers in the north of the city are like this." If there is a dowry of dozens or hundreds, you can marry one.

However, your family still has to rent a decent house, preferably with a yard. If you can't afford to rent inside the city, go outside the city. ”

The rent in Kaifeng Mansion is not cheap, and the low-rent housing for the building store business cannot be obtained at all. If you rent from the market, the rent of several houses that can be settled in can cost tens or hundreds of dollars a year. If you rent an apartment outside the city, it can be cheaper, but it will take too long to spend on the road every day.

Lin Wancheng sighed, "That's all it can be." ”

Lin Chong was a little anxious when he heard this, "Daddy, but the child and that lady ......"

Lin Wancheng waved his hand, and just as he wanted to tell his son to give up unrealistic thoughts, he heard the voice of his wife Li outside.

"Officials, Guo Sanlang and Liu Xiaoyi are here, and they also brought a member of the staff (referring to the big money), saying that they had already made an appointment with you."

"Ouch, I forgot." Lin Wancheng slapped his forehead and hurriedly arched his hand at Mrs. Gao, "Mrs. Gao, look at my memory, I also made an appointment with Guo Sanlang to talk about things today." ”

"What's the matter?" When Gao Niangzi heard Guo Sanlang's name, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"A bodyguard's business," Lin Wancheng stood up, "It takes three or four good hands, and a hundred taels a month, and your Lu Xiaoyi can also go there." ”

"Daddy," Lin Chong on the side suddenly said, "There are police in the northwest these days, and the Fourth Army often exercises, maybe ......."

"It's your business!" Lin Wancheng turned around and glared at his son, and interrupted, "Even if it really starts, it should be a headache for the ministers of the DPRK and China, you and I should take on more things to save enough money to buy a house as soon as possible." ”

"But how can a child's martial arts always be used on bodyguards......" Lin Chong originally had the intention of making contributions.

Lin Wancheng had already walked out of the door with Gao Niangzi, Lin Wancheng said as he walked: "Don't dream, the armies of Kaifeng Mansion are rotten to the roots, how can they fight?" If it is really time for the Fourth Army to go into battle, this Great Song Jiangshan should also be given away. What's the use of your martial arts? ”
