Chapter 627
Viewing?

What room are you looking at?

"you are?"

Zhang Erhu looked at the strange man in front of him and asked suspiciously.

"The small one belongs to Global Commerce. I received an order from the superior yesterday to lead General Zhang and his family to various places in the capital to look around the house."

"Where are you going?"

"There are more than a dozen places in total. Just tell the little one which General Zhang likes."

"Tell you? What do you mean?" Thinking that the person in front of him was from Global Trading, Zhang Erhu guessed a possibility.

Sure enough, the man smiled and solved his doubts.

"General Zhang, the order from above is for me to take you and your family to choose a house, which is your wedding gift from His Majesty."

The middle-aged man's words made him sure that the house was a reward from His Majesty the Emperor, and he not only wanted a reward, but also had to choose it himself.

Zhang Erhu nodded, and then looked at the people in the courtyard.

"You guys."

"Erhu, Xiaohua and I won't go. You and your parents can just go and have a look."

Before he finished speaking, Li Zhaoshi interrupted him.

After hearing this, Erhu looked at his parents.

"We won't go either. We don't know what's good or bad about these things. You can see for yourself, anyway, you will live in the future."

Zhang Erhu saw that they were determined, so he didn't insist anymore, and went out with the merchants from Global Commerce.

"What's your name?"

"General Zhang just calls me Lao Zhou. Most of those houses are not close to here. I have prepared a carriage. Let's go there."

"it is good."

The two got into the carriage together.

"There are thirteen houses in total for General Zhang to see this time, seven in the west city and six in the east city. Where shall we go first?"

"West city?" Zhang Erhu made a decision after a little thought.

Although he hasn't seen it yet, no matter where the house is, it must be much stronger than his house.

"okay."

Lao Zhou's mission today is to accompany this rising star in the Ming Dynasty's military world, so he naturally obeys his words.

The carriage was driving very slowly, and Zhang Erhu still felt unreal when he heard the noise from the street.

After staying in the border town for a long time, I am still somewhat unfamiliar with such a familiar and lively scene.

Seeing him in a daze, Lao Zhou didn't bother him. The carriage drove smoothly, and it didn't take long to arrive at the nearest house.

"General Zhang, we are here."

Zhang Erhu came back to his senses and found that the noise outside had become much quieter.

Opening the curtain and looking out, what came into view was a vermilion door.

shit.

Zhang Erhu was stunned for a moment.

As far as this door is concerned, it is not something that ordinary people can touch.

He followed Lao Zhou's footsteps and got out of the carriage, and he had a panoramic view of the gate of the house.

"General Zhang, this is the first house we have seen today. The previous owner was Ma Shiying, a cabinet minister and a scholar of Dongge University. The house is not too big, and the decoration inside is not particularly luxurious. But it has a good location. , it’s also close to the Forbidden City. Let’s go in and have a look.”

As he spoke, he ordered someone to open the door and led Zhang Erhu in.

Zhang Erhu had already made preliminary mental preparations for His Majesty's generosity, but the facts proved that this mental preparation was not sufficient.

As a cabinet minister, Ma Shiying's house is not considered luxurious, with five entrances and a garden across the east.The area is not big, but it is huge in the capital where land is at a premium, not to mention that it is surrounded by senior officials and nobles from various ministries. It is much more powerful than the advertisements of real estate developers in later generations.

Lao Zhou knew the situation here very well, and introduced the situation of the house to Zhang Erhu all the way. When he walked out again, more than a quarter of an hour had passed.

"General Zhang, time is tight and tasks are heavy, we have to look at the next one, let's go."

"Old Zhou, I think this one is good."

"Haha! General Zhang, let me tell you the truth. Among the dozen or so places we will see today, this mansion is only average, not to mention the bottom. I advise you to take another look."

Old Zhou Yan persuaded Zhang Erhu sincerely.

"Besides, my task is to accompany you to see all these houses. If you don't look at them, my work is not over!"

Is this normal?
Ugh.

It seems that I am superficial.

"Okay, let's go."

In the following time, Zhang Erhu followed Lao Zhou to look at the thirteen houses listed in the east and west cities.

tired.

This was the only feeling he had after wandering around the capital for a day.

Lao Zhou was right. Ma Shiying's house was not only not the most luxurious among them, it could even be described as mediocre.

Among other things, this guy still has a mansion in Dongcheng, a seven-entry mansion with a courtyard spanning from east to west, with a large area and extremely luxurious decoration inside.

Originally, I thought that since it was rewarded by His Majesty, I could just pick one at random.

But after shopping around, he didn't know how to choose for a while.

Lao Zhou seemed to see his embarrassment, and said with a smile when sending him back:

"General Zhang can go back and discuss with his family. There is no need to rush to make a decision today. But we can't wait too long. After all, it will take some time to repair and decorate the house before the general's wedding."

"I see, I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's my duty, take my leave."

After finishing speaking, Lao Zhou turned around, got into the carriage and left.

Zhang Dahai and Li Xiaohua left Li Xiaohua's house after eating lunch. Zhang Erhu didn't stay long after returning. He briefly told Li Xiaohua about the day's situation, and then returned home before dark.

"How are you watching today?" Zhang Dahai asked as soon as he entered the house.

"good."

"It's okay? What's okay?" Zhang Dahai didn't expect him to say that, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the house rewarded by His Majesty, so he reprimanded him with a straight face.

"You boy, don't be dissatisfied. What a favor His Majesty bestowed on you, no matter how big or small, you can't have any thoughts! What? This official has not been in office for two days, and he started to cock his tail? Don't forget, if Not Your Majesty, you are still working as a tenant in Huangzhuang! Let alone Li Xiaohua, even if you have a chance to see it! Although your father and I have never studied, we also know that we must not forget our roots, let alone be ungrateful! What's more, this person is His Majesty! You don't understand this truth? You have read all the books these years into the stomach of a dog!?"

When Zhang Dahai opened his mouth, he sprayed so hard that Zhang Erhu couldn't even lift his head.

Zhang Wang who was on the side couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly pulled Zhang Dahai.

"Old man, don't say a few words!"

"Stop talking? If I don't talk about it, maybe your son will die before me in the future! Just wait and burn paper for her."

It's okay if you don't persuade Zhang Dahai to even spray her.

Zhang Erhu was stunned by the spray, and he didn't have time to say anything for a long time.

"Father, it's not what you think."

"What's that like?"

"I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep in His Majesty's house."
