high official

Chapter 285
The carriage seemed to stop just as it drove out of the East Palace. Zhu Zhanji jumped out of the carriage, pointed at the tall courtyard in front of him and said, "Look quickly, are you okay?"

"It's too late..." Wang Xian looked at the regulations of this house. Although it followed the low-key style in the early days of the country, it could still be seen that it was the residence of high-ranking officials. "This seems to be the residence of the fourth grade official."

"Don't worry, people will change the front of the door in these two days, and get rid of these vain things." Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Besides, I gave you the house, who dares to say anything more?" ?”

"It's too low-key..." Wang Xian sighed.

"You have to consider my Highness's face, I can't afford a house that is too shabby." Zhu Zhanji said stinky.

"I didn't ask you to send it..." Wang Xian said helplessly.

"I have to send it." Zhu Zhanji said firmly.

While talking, the door of the inner room opened, and a middle-aged man with fair skin and a blue straight gown and square scarf came out. When he saw Zhu Zhanji, he knelt down to pay his respects.

"Get up," Zhu Zhanji nodded, pointing at Wang Xian and said to the middle-aged man, "This is the steward of the mansion. I've come to see your master."

"The villain Chen Fa pays his respects to the master." The middle-aged man hurriedly bowed deeply to Wang Xian.

"Uh, no courtesy." Wang Xian paused for a moment, then nodded according to Zhu Zhanji's intention.

"Of course, this housekeeper is only here to supervise the work temporarily. After you move in, if you don't like it, you can just change it." Zhu Zhanji said to Wang Xiandao with a smile, and then said to Chen Wu, the steward sign beside him: "It's really here At that time, you should not tell the military division Guan."

"I understand." Chen Wu hurriedly responded.

"I wonder if the two of you are..." Wang Xian asked softly.

"This is my third uncle." Chen Wu said with an embarrassed smile: "But don't worry, military commander, if my third uncle doesn't win, I won't recommend him to my master. My third uncle worked as a housekeeper in Uncle Anping's house ten years ago. , Loyal ministers are famous for being diligent and decent. You will know his benefits after a while..."

"Okay." Wang Xian nodded and smiled, neither unhappy nor happy.

"Okay, okay, I won't count them for the time being. Go in and have a look at your new home. It's so nice here. It's only a mile away from mine." Zhu Zhanji couldn't help saying, and pulled him inside.While walking, he introduced: "This is the house of the minister, and the old man is also from Hangzhou. Speaking of which, you may still know him, and his name is..." He scratched his head and said, "I also forgot what it is called."

"My name is Gao Zhen. Before I became an official, I was the minister of Honglu Temple." Chen Fa replied hastily.

"Yes, that's the name," Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "Sure enough, the nobleman forgets things too much." Wang Xianxin said, is it appropriate for you to use this word to describe yourself?

While talking, the two entered the door, and saw that compared to the outside, it was low-key, but the inside was not low-key at all. There was a large courtyard with four entrances, the front yard was a place for friends and banquets, and the second entrance was a garden. However, the grass and trees in the south of the Yangtze River are moist and still green, and there is a pavilion hidden in it, which is indeed a scenic spot for home.Further behind is the inner house and the courtyard of the servants. The architectural decoration is very elegant. It seems that the cost has been spent, and it is very tasteful... Even Wang Xian, a layman, feels comfortable everywhere, at least better than The Prince's Mansion with carved beams and painted buildings and austere atmosphere makes people feel much more comfortable.

"The old man's family is a big family, and he pays attention to his daily life. He doesn't rent a house casually like ordinary Beijing officials, and lives in it no matter what is good. He bought this house a few years ago and spent a lot of money from it. Suzhou found a craftsman to repair it, and planned to live there for more than ten years, but because of the wrong words, he resigned early." Zhu Zhanji smiled proudly: "It turned out that I took advantage of it."

"Cheap? Is it very cheap?" Even if it was a gift, Wang Xian had to ask the price.

"Of course it's cheaper, Chen Wu, you tell the military advisor." Zhu Zhanji, a hands-off shopkeeper, couldn't explain clearly, so he pushed it to the manager who handled the matter.

"I obey." Eunuch Chen responded softly, and smiled at Wang Xian: "So that the military commander can know that this courtyard covers an area of ​​four acres, 5% of which is new, and it is in the imperial city. According to the current market conditions in the capital, it is not too much Dare to say, 2 taels of silver is definitely easy to sell. But when Mr. Gao heard that his grandson wanted to buy it, he only wanted [-] taels of silver. , I have no choice but to accept it with a smile.”

Wang Xian glanced at the smiling dead eunuch, and cursed in his heart, didn't he just want to sell his grandson?This idiot sold his grandson for 3 taels, thinking he was capable.

Zhu Zhanji didn't care much about it, and smiled at Wang Xian: "Are you satisfied after reading it?"

"Satisfied." What else could Wang Xian say?

"Haha, as long as you are satisfied," Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "It seems that it will be cleaned up in less than two days. At that time, we will add some maids, women and cooks who know the rules, and the wife will be able to live when the wife comes."

"Your Highness is too troublesome." Wang Xian said gratefully: "I don't even know what to say."

"No need to say anything," Zhu Zhanji laughed and patted him, "What else do you need to say between me?!"

"Your Highness, minister." Wang Xian's tears were about to flow down: "I'm so devastated, there's nothing to repay!"

"I don't want you to be fooled, I want you to live in peace and stability, and be my brother for the rest of my life." Zhu Zhanji smiled emotionally, and then changed the subject: "Okay, don't be mother-in-law, I'm going to see My little aunt, are you going?"

Xu Miaojin from Tianxiang Nunnery?Wang Xian was a little distracted for a moment, and the peerless beauty who "lonely fireworks bloom in the sky, whoever loves and whoever pities" appeared in his mind, and he had the urge to nod in agreement.Fortunately, there was always a red line in his mind, and he reined in the precipice and said, "What am I going to do?"

"Yeah, there's no reason this time," Zhu Zhanji said with a teasing smile: "Okay, seeing it once is enough. What's more, what is the name of this little pity in your family? Isn't it beautiful enough for you?"

"I dare not touch it." Wang Xian shook his head and said.

"To touch, not only to touch, but also to touch and touch!" Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "I must let my third uncle steal the chicken and lose the rice!" Then he laughed and left.

Wang Xian and the housekeeper named Chen Fa watched Zhu Zhanji's carriage go away, and saw a team of guards escorting more than a dozen carts coming slowly. This was for Wang Xian to give him 35 gifts. It also includes the woman named 'Xiao Lian' and the women's music class.

However, the woman named Xiao Lian wore a thick milo to cover her soul-stirring face. Obviously, she also knew how lethal her appearance was.The other eight Le girls did not cover their faces. Their beautiful faces and slender figures attracted the guards to peek at them frequently.Naturally, in my heart, I have all kinds of envy and hatred for Wang Xian, a guy who 'enjoys all the beauty'!

Little did they know that the guy who 'enjoyed the best of beauty' had bouts of headache... With so many goblins in the house, how would he live in the future!

"Master," Chen Fa was waiting at the side with his head bowed, but seeing Wang Xian's complexion turned blue and red, he asked respectfully, "Who are these girls..."

"Ahem, Your Highness won the bet." The cry of 'Master' made Wang Xian secretly happy, "It was passed on to me again."

"Then how does the villain arrange for a few...girls?" Chen Fa asked for instructions.

"Let's clean up the backyard and let them live there." Wang Xian sighed, "We'll talk about it when my wife comes."

"This...Master, excuse me for talking too much," Chen Fa whispered, "Should we wait for Madam to arrive before using the backyard?" As a seasoned butler, he has already made clear the big and small things of Wang Xian's family. .Ordinarily, the two sides have just started contacting, so he doesn't want to talk too much, but seeing his master's tricks and not saying anything, it is dereliction of duty.

"What do you mean?" Wang Xian was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses. Indeed, even if Sister Lin didn't care about her generosity, he had to pay attention to maintaining her status as the hostess.He looked at Chen Fa approvingly and said, "That's right, just look at the arrangement."

"How about putting them in the guest room first?" Chen Fa asked softly.

"Yeah." Wang Xian nodded, and then looked at the 33 treasures packed in eight big boxes. It was also a big trouble!Isn't putting it at home attracting thieves? "Here, what's your idea?"

"Is the master worried about the safety of these boxes?" Chen Fa asked in a low voice.

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded and said, "This is all a reward from His Highness, I dare not lose it, but Prince Zhao may also be unwilling to do so, but the capital hides dragons and crouching tigers."

"Actually, you don't have to worry, sir," Chen Fagong said, "We live at the foot of the imperial city, and the King Wu never stops watching the night, so we can't afford to make trouble."

Wang Xian thinks about it too. The imperial city is closed every night, and those who can live in the imperial city are also high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The Jin Wu who watches the night never stops, and the possibility of being attacked by thieves is very small.

"It's better to be careful." Wang Xian thought about it, and there was no good way for the time being. He was unwilling to give it back to Zhu Zhanji, so he could only leave it at home and strengthen his guard day and night... Fortunately, he has no shortage of people now .

.

The guards of the palace are carefully moving the boxes into the warehouse. Wang Xianze and Zhou Yong are meticulously designing the guards. A good security system can not only protect people's property, but also save people's lives in times of crisis. .So don't be careless.

"Okay! Smelly Xiaoxian! How dare you leave me behind!" A crisp voice sounded, and Wang Xian's heart tightened, "Don't call me so lively!" Naturally, it was his little master Ling Xiao who spoke like this The eldest sister has a head.Today was supposed to be a half-day rest, when Wang Xian was going to bed, Ling Xiao and Xian Yun went out to hang out, giving Wang Xian a chance to sleep.

As a result, Zhu Zhanji came in a hurry and pulled him back in a hurry. Before Wang Xian could inform his friends, he followed Zhu Zhanji back to sit on the ground and share the spoils.How sinful is it to go to the house again after watching Jiujiuhuiyi, but not to call Miss Lingxiao's head?

"I don't know where you went." Wang Xian smiled wryly.
