Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 359 Bullying (1)
It's just a three-entry yard, and it cost 3 taels of silver. I haven't seen the furnishings in the house yet. Wanqing saw that the steps in front of the house were actually made of granite, which is more luxurious than the construction of the Gu family in the capital. , I don’t know how much this Lord Qian earns in a year?It's just building a temporary residence, and you can spend such a large amount of money.

"Ah, Master Qian really dotes on Madam very much, but Madam is going back to the capital now, so this house is abandoned, isn't it a pity?" Wanqing was puzzled in her heart, but she had a look of pity on her face.

After hearing this, the lady said as expected: "This house did not belong to my master, but it was rented. I am not used to living in it, so I refurbished it. I also know that the Dudu Mansion is very dilapidated and not suitable for female relatives to live in. No If this house is sublet to Madam."

"Ah, this house is so beautiful, I'm afraid I can't afford to rent it. My family's eldest son has only just taken office, and Fenglu has never taken it..." Wanqing sighed repeatedly with a petty expression on her face.

Mrs. Qian was anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Ma'am, why bother to see you outside? We won't necessarily live in this house again in the future. If we don't sublet it, these remodeling facilities will be for nothing. The previous owner and concubine don't want much from you." , let’s rent it at 300 taels a year.”

It costs 300 taels a year, and 900 taels in three years. You can buy a small village in the suburbs of Beijing. The annual rent for a house is enough for a family of five to live for several years. This Mrs. Qian also said Not much, she is really rich and powerful.

"300 taels... It seems that my family's grandson only pays a little more than 300 taels a year..." Wanqing frowned and lowered her head when she heard this, with a troubled look on her face.

"That's 200 taels. It can't be less. Madam comes from a famous family. Your family's background is much richer than that of the Qian family." After hearing this, Madam Qian's expression turned a little ugly, and she didn't plan to invite Wanqing and The fourth young lady went into the house.

"Well, let's talk in the room. It's been a long time since we left, and we haven't had a sip of tea yet." Wanqing didn't answer Madam Qian's words immediately, and she dragged the Fourth Young Mistress to Qian, regardless of whether Madam Qian was happy or not. Madame walks inside.

In fact, as soon as he entered the yard, Bean Sprouts wandered around the yard on the pretext of going to the toilet.

"Look at me, I saw that my wife also likes Jiangnan gardens, and I forgot to invite my wife into the house. If my wife invites me, my wife will make tea." Seeing that Wanqing did not refuse, Madam Qian's face softened After a while, Wanqing greeted the servants to make tea, and Wanqing followed her into the room. Sure enough, the furnishings in the room were not ordinary luxury. Do you want to move back to the capital? There are some things that cannot stand."

Madam Qian's eyes lit up when she heard this and said: "Madam, if you want, you can transfer the concubine's body together. Except for some small things, other big things can't be taken away. Madam, please give me a price, and I promise not to accept it." You have many."

After hearing this, Wanqing got up to look at the ornaments, many of them were high-quality goods from the official kilns in the capital, and there were two styles that were different from those used by the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they were exotic, so Wanqing intentionally placed them on those two pieces. Madam Qian really likes to show off when she stopped in front of these items, she hurriedly said: "These two items were given by the chief of the Chiyan Clan, I heard that they are from Beirong Imperial Palace..."

It turned out that Dudu Qian had a very good relationship with the chief of the Chiyan Clan. No wonder the couple had such a happy life in Longjing Town.

Wanqing deliberately negotiated the price with Madam Qian again, and really offered a price, saying that she wanted to buy all the decorations in the house, and after negotiating the rent of the house, she signed a sublease agreement with Madam Qian. The Fourth Young Mistress acted as a middleman, and Wanqing put another 100 taels of deposit before she proposed to leave.

Madam Qian didn't expect to make another fortune before leaving, so she sent Wanqing and the Fourth Young Mistress out in a good mood. When Wanqing was about to leave, she asked Madam Qian casually: "Madam, do you know that the court allocated this year's money?" Has the repair fund for the Governor's Mansion arrived?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Qian felt flustered, "My master never tells my concubine about these official matters..."

It's also a plea that I don't know.

After hearing this, Wanqing didn't say anything, turned around and got into the carriage, but as soon as she got into the carriage, she called Ping An over and asked him to bring someone to guard outside Qian's mansion. When she saw someone removing large valuables from the house, Just stop it.

The Fourth Young Mistress was startled at first, then laughed casually, looked deeply at Wanqing and said, "No wonder... I heard that you are just a concubine, and later you were named the first-class princess. Believe me, now that I understand your means, I still feel that the price you paid is too high, and you are at a disadvantage..."

After hearing this, Wanqing solemnly took out the contract form in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, I bought and sold it clearly, there is no fraud at all, but who made her forget about it when I paid a high price? , In the contract, it is written that all the big things in the house have been transferred to the princess, and she has drawn the pledge."

Not long after the carriage started, Yu Xinyou suddenly silenced Wanqing, and after the carriage walked for a while, Yu Xinyou was about to jump off the carriage again, Wanqing hurriedly caught her, there were not many cannonballs brought today, Wanqing But I don't have the ability to suppress those barbarians again.

"Don't worry, I won't mess around again. I just saw that the master in our mansion seems to have entered the money house. I'll go and find out."

Only then did Wanqing let her go. On the way back, Wanqing saw many Han people begging, and many Han people were being bullied by Hu people, and there were Hu people who robbed Han women in the street. Many Hu people saw her They laughed and laughed at the side, while the Han people on the street could only cowardly hide to the side, no one dared to rescue the robbed woman, Wanqing saw that although the Fourth Young Mistress had unbearable and angry expressions on her face, it was also very calm, I know that this kind of thing is probably not uncommon on weekdays.

"Go to another street and turn back." Wanqing said to the driver in front.

"The other one is also the same. Brothers and sisters, don't read it anymore. Now that there is a war ahead, there can be no more troubles in the future. Now I can only persuade the fifth child to stabilize these barbarians." The fourth young lady said with a serious face.

"How is it stable? This is clearly the ruling area of ​​the Great Zhou. Why are the Hu people more arrogant than the Han people? Are the government usually in charge?" Wanqing asked angrily.
