Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 22 Xu Jingzong's embarrassment
"what!"

Chen Yingrao was quite courageous, and he almost screamed out in fright.Who would have thought that the woman in white Shengxue with long flowing hair would scream out before Chen Ying.

It turned out that some wicked ghost poured the footwashing water on the ground, and the woman in white might as well slide towards Chen Ying.

Fortunately, Chen Ying found out that the woman was screaming, and reached out to hold her in time, so that the woman stabilized her body.

It turned out that this woman was none other than the pretty shopkeeper of Xu Ji Inn.

"Thank you, sir, for your kindness!"

"you are welcome!"

Chen Ying suddenly noticed that shopkeeper Xu was wearing a gauze dress, and there was an indescribable fragrance exuding from his body. Chen Ying blushed and said, "Be careful, shopkeeper Xu, it's not good if you get hurt!"

Shopkeeper Xu smiled slightly, and said softly, "No slaves!"

For a moment, Chen Ying was slightly absent-minded.Usually a woman who can laugh will make people feel like a spring breeze, but Shopkeeper Xu is the best among them.

Chen Ying suddenly realized that in the dead of night, lonely men and widows, it was quite inappropriate to meet him here, so he cupped his hands towards Shopkeeper Xu and said, "It's getting late, Shopkeeper Xu, go to rest early! Good night, have a good dream!"

"Good night!" Shopkeeper Xu said with an unspeakable expression, "Mr. Chen, do you... want to buy a house in Chang'an?"

Chen Ying wanted to come, it must be while drinking, he discussed with Ma Sanbao about buying a house, and shopkeeper Xu heard about it.

Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's exactly what I mean. Why, shopkeeper Xu has a house to sell?"

Shopkeeper Xu said: "It's not my house, it's my cousin who wants to sell a house!"

Chen Yingdao: "Chen doesn't have much cash in hand, I don't know if he can buy a suitable one!"

"My cousin's house has 47 rooms in three stages, but it hasn't been repaired in three years! It's unavoidably dilapidated, but the asking price is not high, only a thousand pieces are needed!"

Originally, Chen Yingying had no concept of prices in this era, but the meal at night consisted of more than [-] dishes, and the beef and mutton alone weighed no more than [-] catties. With drinks included, it only cost seven renminbi.After conversion, it is only more than seven hundred Wen.Even if Chang'an is in turmoil at this time, the prices are not very high.

If this meal is placed in later generations, I am afraid that it will not be worth 5000 yuan.

Chen Ying sighed, whether it is now or later generations, the price of the house is still sky-high.

Chen Ying showed a look of hesitation and said: "I'm sorry, I really can't get out the Qianguan money."

Shopkeeper Xu said: "Mr. Chen, why don't you go and see the house tomorrow morning, maybe my cousin can give me some money!"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "That's fine too!"

……

Early the next morning, Chen Ying left Liang Zan, Chen Huairen, Zhao Yuanqiao and Li Chuqi to take care of the property, while Chen Ying, Zhang Huaiwei, You Ziying and Ma Sanbao followed shopkeeper Xu to see the house in a carriage.

Starting from Xuji Inn, it took about two quarters of an hour to walk through the streets and alleys. It is located in the second house in Yongchang Square. The house faces south from the north. In the middle of the gatehouse hangs a vigorous blue-bottomed gilt plaque, which reads "Xu's Mansion" , The vermilion gate is tightly closed, decorated with a large copper ring with the title of a beast.

Shopkeeper Xu walked to the door, knocked lightly on the copper ring, and after about a stick of incense, slowly opened the closed wooden door.

Showing the appearance of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with combed temples: "You are looking for..."

Before the little maid could say "who", she saw shopkeeper Xu in front of the door.Immediately surprised, he came up and took the shopkeeper Xu's hand and said, "Er Niang, you are here, Nunu misses you!"

As she said that, she actually leaned her head against Shopkeeper Xu's chest and acted coquettishly.

Shopkeeper Xu said, "Lan'er, is Da Lang there?"

"Yes!" Lan'er looked at Chen Ying, Ma Sanbao, Zhang Huaiwei, and You Ziying hesitantly and said, "Who are these?"

Lan'er only glanced at Zhang Huaiwei, Ma Sanbao and You Ziying, but her eyes fell on Chen Ying's face. She looked at Chen Ying like a nympho, this brave little girl, on the contrary, looked at Chen Ying a little bit differently. Excuse me.

Shopkeeper Xu said: "A few days ago, Da Lang wanted to sell this house. It just so happens that several gentlemen want to buy the house, so I will take them to see the house!"

"Wait a moment!" Seeing that Xu Erniang was present, Lan'er did not warn Chen Ying and the others, and opened the door to let everyone in.The little maid ran towards the inner house like a gust of wind.

Xu Erniang led Chen Ying, Ma Sanbao and others into the mansion.

Xu Erniang said: "This house was built by Uncle Nu back then. My cousin is in a bit of a hurry now, so I can only make a move."

Chen Ying nodded.

Xu Erniang continued: "This house is about 48 steps wide and 67 steps wide. It is divided into three entrances. There are three courtyards, front, inner and back, with 47 rooms in total. There are stables, grain cellars, and a back garden. Pavilion."

Chen Ying saw that although the house was not very big, it was very delicate.It's just that it hasn't been repaired in a few years, and it looks a bit dilapidated. The paint on the pillars is all peeled off and mottled, which looks very unsightly.

At this moment, a pale, thin and tall scribe, led by the little maid Lan'er, came to Chen Ying.

"Cousin!"

"Second Mother!"

The scribe cupped his hands and said to Chen Ying: "I haven't asked your lord Gao's name, where is the prefect?"

"I'm next, Chen Ying!"

"Xu Jingzong in Xia Gaoyang."

"What?" Ma Sanbao, Zhang Huaiwei and others didn't feel anything, but Chen Ying almost choked on his own saliva. "Xu Jingzong!" In an instant, Chen Ying's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

He didn't expect that the house he wanted to buy actually belonged to Xu Jingzong.

He vaguely remembered that Xu Jingzong was the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, why was he so desperate to sell the house at this time?
In fact, Chen Ying didn't know that although Xu Jingzong was also one of the Eighteen Scholars of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, his fate was very rough, and his writing was not as good as that of Yu Shinan, Cai Yungong, Xue Shou, Xue Yuanjing, and Chu Liang.For example, Yu Shinan and his elder brother Yu Shiji studied under King Gu Ye, and their eloquent writing was appreciated by Xu Ling.Chu Liang was "eighteen years old, and Chen Pu shot Xuling, and the mausoleum was different from the language. The master summoned him to write poems, and all the poets of Mr. Jiang were present at the table, and they all obeyed his work."Xue Yuanjing "is as famous as (Xue) Shou and Shou's brother Deyin, and is known as the Three Phoenixes of Hedong".

Academically, he is not as good as Kong Yingda, Lu Deming, Gai Wenda, Yan Xiangshi, Yao Silian, Li Shousu and others.For example, Kong Yingda, "Emperor Yang summoned Confucian scholars from all over the world to gather in Dongdu, and ordered the secretary of the state to discuss the scholars. His academic level is so high.

Lu Deming, it is said that Wang Shichong wanted to use "Lu Deming as the teacher of the king of Han, and ordered Xuanshu to perform rites on his family. ".Gai Wenda's "Experiencing Extensive Studies" pre-recorded, You Ming's "Spring and Autumn" three schools, together with Zongren Wenyi, were called Confucianism, and they were called "Er Gai".

Yao Silian is the son of Yao Cha, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who is proficient in "Hanshu" and is famous for historiography.Li Shousu is an expert on surnames, known as "Xingpu".Yan Xiangshi is the younger brother of Yan Shigu, who is famous for Confucianism.

It is not as good as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Li Xuandao, Su Shichang, Yu Zhining, Su Xu and others. Fang Mou Duan is famous in history.Therefore, Xu Jingzong's status among the eighteen bachelors of the Qin Palace is very embarrassing.
