Chapter 250 New House and New Things

After bidding farewell to Jiangdu, it was time to hurry.

Because it is not with a caravan, there is no need to pull goods, and the carriages hired by Shen Ling are all middle-to-high-end horses, so the speed of the group is not very slow. The total distance is less than two hundred miles, and it took almost two days to run. Half close to three days or so.

They set off on the ninth day of the new year, and on the fourth day, that is, the morning of the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the carriage arrived at Jiankang City.

At this moment, Jiankang City is still in the midst of the "New Year's Festival", and the streets and alleys are very lively. After three carriages entered Jiankang City one after another, they moved around at a slow pace for a long time in the crowded Jiankang City. At noon , the carriage stopped in the north of the city.

It wasn't the yard Shen Yi rented.

Before Shen Yi went home last year, the emperor sent someone over and rewarded him with a house to live in, which is said to be the property of the palace.

But at that time, Shen Yi was in a hurry to go home, so he just wrote down the address of this house, not to mention coming to live, even if he came to see it, he didn't take a look at it, so he went home.

When the drivers who drove the car brought him to the door of a house according to the address given by Shen Yi, Shen Yi was stunned.

This is an official residence.

Why is it called an official residence, because the layout is very particular.

From the inverted room, to the wing rooms on both sides of the yard, the side rooms, the main room, and the courtyard, everything is available.

This is a deep courtyard.

The disadvantage is that it is not too big. If the place is bigger, add a hanging flower door, and add a rear cover room, it will be a serious three-depth courtyard.

You know, the courtyard that Shen Yi rented in Jiankang before was also a courtyard, but it was surrounded by a courtyard wall, and there were only a few tile-roofed houses built in the courtyard wall. Compared with the house in front of him, it is far away Too far.

Shen Yi has been to Zhao Shilang's house.

Although the location of Zhao Shilang's house is better than the house in front of him, it is really not much bigger than this house. At most, it has one more hanging flower door than this house, which can be regarded as a two-depth yard!
And the yard in front of me, even in the official residence in Jiankang City, can be regarded as an upper-middle residence!

You know, there are quite a few officials in Jiankang who can't afford to buy a house and still live in rented houses!

Of course, the house in front of me was not bought by Shen Yi, at best it can only be regarded as a welfare housing provided by the unit, no rent is required!

Shen Yi got off, took Shen Ling and the two little maids, and walked into the house after looking around, the four of them looked at each other, and they all looked at each other.

After a while, Shen Ling walked up to Shen Yi, and said, "Old Qi, I can't tell, you've made a fortune in Jiankang!"

"Although this house is not as big as our Shen family's old house, it is bigger than Lao Qi's house. To buy such a house in Jiankang..."

Shen Laosan said with emotion: "Isn't it cheap?"

Shen Yi was also a little confused at the moment. After visiting his "unit room" for a while, he sighed and said, "Third Brother, to tell you the truth, this is also my first time here."

"However, if you come here, you will be safe. There is no way to accommodate the third brother in the place where I lived, so let's live here first."

According to Gao Ming, this house belongs to the palace.

Originally, Shen Yi thought that it was just an ordinary residence in Jiankang City, which was used by the palace to deliver news, but now it seems...

Shen Qilang couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"It can't be that... some official's house was copied, and the house was vacated..."

The original owner of this kind of house can't be said to be rich or noble, it can only be said to be either an official or a businessman above the middle class, and the property in the hands of a businessman is difficult to transfer to the single palace, so Shen Yi said that this is an official house.

Thinking of this, he added another sentence in his heart.

"Forget it, no matter whose house it is, it doesn't need money anyway, just live in it..."

Thus, a group of people began to explore in the new home.

Among them, Shu Qing'er and Ping'er were the most excited.

The two of them used to live in that small courtyard with Shen Yi. Although they could live there, it was relatively simple after all. Now they can live in this kind of big house in Jiankang. For this kind of little girl, it is naturally a pleasure.

What made Shen Yi most happy was that there was a toilet in this house!
In this day and age, going to the bathroom is a hassle.

Because most people do not have independent toilets, they need to prepare chamber pots, toilets and other things at home, and they have to empty the chamber pots and toilets every morning.

On weekdays, when I go outside, I usually go to the "public" hut to go to the toilet.

Don't look sloppy, this shit is also a business in Jiankang.

Every morning, people would go to the city to collect manure from various huts, and then transport it out of Jiankang with a manure truck, and then sell it to the countryside to make fertilizer.

Even some high-ranking officials and dignitaries intervene in this dirty business, and there have been several "dung tyrants" in Jiankang City!
After Shen Yi came to this world, what he was most unaccustomed to was going to the toilet.

But this house has two separate rooms built on both sides of the east and west wings, one side is the kitchen, and the other side is the toilet!
This discovery made Shen Yi very happy. After working hard for more than a year, he finally realized the freedom to shit!

After wandering around the "new home", everyone found that the house had been cleaned up, even the toilets were cleaned, and it was basically in the state of moving in with bags, so the two brothers of the Shen family brought Xu Fu together. Waiting for someone to start moving things down from the carriage.

Shen Yi brought a lot of things, plus Shen Ling's things, the group worked for half an hour before putting all the things back together. It was already afternoon, Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu and the others, and smiled He said: "Xiao Xu, there are about ten people living in this house, and there is no problem at all. Do you want to come and live here?"

All four looked at Xu Fu.

After Xu Fu hesitated for a moment, he still shook his head and said, "My lord, we are doing business, so it's inconvenient to live here with you..."

He lowered his head slightly and said, "It's bad for your reputation if it spreads out. Besides, the few of us have to run around every day, and the house we rented last year was renewed for another year. We still live in the original rented house." somewhere more comfortable.”

"It doesn't matter if you are famous or not. Anyway, I haven't been an official yet, but since you guys want to go out, I won't force you."

Shen Yi did not force them to stay, but patted Xu Fu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, you are very familiar with Jiankang, go out and order some food and wine, let's have a good drink in this new residence Meal."

Xu Fu quickly responded, and took his two companions out to buy wine and vegetables. When the afternoon was approaching evening, Shen Yi set up a table full of wine and vegetables in his "new home". There were exactly ten people together, making a full table.

Everyone had been on the road for several days, and now they were a little greedy, and it didn't take long before their mouths were full of oil.

By the time everyone was about to finish eating, the sky had slowly darkened.

At this time, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

"Ziheng, Ziheng!"

The two little maids came over immediately to inform Shen Yi, and Shen Yi got up immediately. Because he was not familiar with the terrain, he groped to the door of his new house. After opening the courtyard door, he saw Zhang Jian standing at the door.

After seeing Shen Yi, Zhang Jian breathed a sigh of relief: "According to the address written in your letter, I found this place. Just now I thought I got the wrong door!"

He looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Okay, you Ziheng, you are all living in Li Shaoqing's house!"

Naturally, Shen Yi didn't know who Li Shaoqing was. He explained the origin of the house to Zhang Jian, then looked at Zhang Jian with a smile, and asked, "Didn't you say in the letter that you're going to find senior brother for a drink tomorrow? Why is senior brother in such a hurry?" Is it coming?"

"I have to hurry."

Zhang Jian took out a mansion newspaper from his sleeve and put it in front of Shen Yi. He pointed to the article on the mansion newspaper and asked, "Did you write this, Ziheng?"

Shen Yi looked at the mansion newspaper with surprise on his face: "Brother, this mansion newspaper...shouldn't have been printed yet?"

Zhang Jian took a deep breath, shook his head slightly, and said, "It was just sent out by the Di Baodi today, and one copy was given to each of the official families above the fifth rank in Jiankang."

"Di Baodi said that it will be sent every issue in the future."

Zhang Jian looked at the mansion report, lowered his eyebrows at Shen Yi, and said, "Your Majesty probably wants to see the attitude of the courtiers, Chinese and military officials on this matter first, and then consider whether this issue of the mansion report should be made public to the world. !"

Shen Yi turned sideways to welcome Zhang Jian into his new home. He held the mansion newspaper in his hand and looked at the content written by himself on it.

"Before the Shangyuan Festival, it was sent to the officials in advance..."

Shen Yi looked towards the direction of the palace, thoughtful.

"The people in the Dibao...don't have a vacation?"
