Chapter 903 House

Behind Chengenhou Mansion and Yongjiahou Mansion are actually one street, which is habitually called "Hou Mansion Back Street". A large part of the houses in it are under the name of Chengenhou Mansion. Usually it is the Hou Mansion.

There are distinguished stewards or children living in the house, and some are relatives, friends, or descendants of old subordinates. For example, Mr. Zeng, the boudoir teacher who taught Sister Qin Hanzhen and others, lives in a small house on the street.

.

But after all, this street is not the property of the Qin family. A large part of it is owned by others. Since it is in the inner city, the owners include officials and scholars, and some have officials or scholars in their families.

Human merchants. Generally speaking, their houses do not occupy a large area.

There are actually three or four larger houses on the back streets, and two of them are clearly owned. The most prosperous house is on the street. The old man served in the Ministry of War in his early years, and his wife once had a good relationship with Mrs. Ye. But then

With the passing of the older generation, there has been very little contact between the two families. Currently, the eldest son of that family is a sixth-grade military attache in the Imperial Guard, the second son is a military officer, and the youngest son is running the family's business and is living a prosperous life. The family has dozens of people.

The people live in a house with four entrances, which is more than enough.

There is also a house with three entrances, which is to the northeast of Chengenhou Mansion. It is only separated from the servant room by a wall and is right next to the small courtyard where Mr. Zeng lives. The owner of that house is a retired official from the capital.

, it is said that he has reached the rank of Taichang Shishaoqing, who has reached the highest rank of the fourth rank. Now he is old and sick and useless. He has a lot of descendants in his family, but none of them is really promising, has no official status, and has no official status.

The top one was just a supervisor. Due to the large population and not much output, the family lived in a bit of embarrassment.

In the past, when Qin Song was the head of Cheng'enhou Mansion, the supervisor of that family worked as a guest for him for several years. By flattering him in exchange for generous rewards, his life was very comfortable. Rumor has it that he almost

His son donated his official position. When Qin Song lost his holy family and could only live and die in the inner courtyard, the supervisor lost a lot of money. Because he was not welcomed by Qin Zhonghai, he did not dare to come to his house again. Some people say that he is now

He went to work as a housekeeper for another family, and even moved his family to be near that family. Some people say that he saved enough money to donate to the official position, and took his family to take office. Some people say that his family's old man passed away, and the family returned to his hometown to observe mourning.

Anyway, Qin Youzhen found out that his house was now empty, with only an old servant left to guard the door.

These two houses have owners, but there are two other houses whose circumstances are unclear.

One is a house that is separated from the Yongjia Marquis Mansion by only a wall and has only two entrances. However, it is not small in area. There are three roads on the left, middle and right. It is almost as wide as three-quarters of the east-west length of the Yongjia Marquis. This house belonged to the old man in the early years.

He is an effective lieutenant of the Marquis. The deputy is a third-grade guerrilla general, and the house was given to him by the old Marquis. However, when the old Marquis was in trouble, the guerrilla general was also implicated. He was dismissed from his post and suffered a lot.

He was punished and asked his children and grandchildren to escort him back to his hometown in Baoding to recuperate. He passed away before the Qin family was rehabilitated. The children and grandchildren may have been frightened. Even after the emperor ascended the throne and the Qin family was rehabilitated, they never went to the capital again. Peace of mind

When I was a wealthy man in my hometown, I only sent a representative to attend the spring banquet every year. I only left one room in the house with family members to look after the door. They built walls with bricks and stones to simply divide the house. They came and went over the decades.

I don’t know how many tenants there have been. Because the Marquis Cheng’en Mansion is here, no one dares to make trouble or occupy it; because there are always people living in it, the condition of the house is still manageable. According to Qin Youzhen’s inquiry, the owner of the house

It seems that he finally plans to dispose of the property in Beijing, but there are still tenants, so it is difficult to sell the house for the time being.

There is another property left, which is across the street from the Yongjia Marquis Mansion. It is also a three-story house with east and west roads and a small garden. This house is the ancestral home of an old family in the capital.

The head of the family of the previous generation was a governor of a province during his lifetime, and there were many high-ranking officials on this street. He passed away a few years ago, and the family returned to their hometown to observe mourning, leaving two families behind to guard the house.

Neighbors only knew that his family had an only son who had passed the imperial examination. Logically speaking, after his filial piety was over, he should have gone to Beijing to take the exam. But for some reason, he was nowhere to be seen. However, last year, there was a bereaved family hanging on the front door of their home.

The lantern has the blue couplets of the family that keeps the mourning, and calculating the time, it should be three years after the old man passed away. Could it be that someone else died in his family? I don't know who it was, and the family members who guarded the gate refused to reveal it.

This spring, a family moved into the house, but the servants who guarded the door remained unchanged. Qin Youzhen found out that the new residents were the family of the chief envoy's sister, who was married to a foreigner, but she didn't know whether they were renting the house or buying the house.

Qin Youzhen put a lot of thought into preparing the real estate for her daughter's dowry. She found two or three well-known brokers and searched all over the city for suitable real estate. She originally had high hopes for the three empty houses located in the back streets of the Hou Mansion.

Firstly, it was close to her real natal family, Chengenhou Mansion. After their family moved in, they prepared for their daughter's marriage as if they had never left the Qin family. Secondly, their daughter Lu Yueniang had stayed with them all year round.

The family room with the Qin parents and the third room are still too unfamiliar. When the daughter gets married and her husband takes office, it is difficult to say whether the Qin family can continue to take care of their daughter. There is a property close to the two princes' mansions, and the daughter will live there in the future.

Now that I have a reason to frequent the Qin family, I can get more care and protection, which will be somewhat helpful to my daughter's future life in the Yunyang Marquis Mansion.

It's a pity that the prices of these three empty houses are not low. After all, they are located in the inner city where dignitaries and dignitaries live. The area is not small, and the buildings are not badly maintained. The original owners are not ordinary people. Even if Qin Youzhen is bent on wanting

To prepare a generous dowry for her daughter, it is impossible to spend too much money on the dowry property, ignoring the really important floating wealth and properties that can continuously provide income. She has adjusted her requirements and plans to buy a two-bedroom apartment in the inner city.

A small house with more than three entrances, two east-west or even three roads, and a garden should be reserved until her husband Lupu becomes a high-ranking official in the capital. What the couple really need is to have a house in the capital.

Let’s talk about it when we’re in a decent property.

She also took a fancy to several other properties not far away, and two properties near the Yunyang Marquis Mansion. She is still comparing and considering, and has not chosen the most satisfactory one. She asked Yao for help.

, just want Chang Xing to continue to inquire about the conditions of those houses and choose the one with the best value for money.

Qin Youzhen spent a lot of thought on these houses and knew the situation very carefully, so Qin Hanzhen asked her about the situation, and she told her everything she knew. She was in a mess now, and she didn't have much.

Concentrating on dealing with the juniors, Qin Hanzhen raised a topic that was safe and could pass the time, so she followed his lead and answered all questions.

But Qin Hanzhen asked so carefully, as if he was interested in buying a property, Qin Youzhen still became curious: "Why are you asking these questions? Could it be that the Yongjia Marquis Mansion does not have enough space, and your grandparents plan to expand the Marquis Mansion again?"

Some, so you want to buy the property on the back street as well?”

Qin Youzhen didn't believe this even when she said it herself. The Yongjia Marquis Mansion is only a little smaller than the Chengen Marquis Mansion, but with such a small population of three-bedrooms, and Qin Ping still serving abroad and never renewing his marriage, there won't be enough room to live there? I'm afraid

When Qin Ping remarries and has more children, it will be more than enough for the Yongjia Marquis Mansion to pretend to have such a population. Just look at how many Qin family members have been housed in the Chengen Marquis Mansion. Even the Chengen Marquis Mansion has

The accommodation is very comfortable, let alone the Yongjia Marquis Mansion.

Qin Hanzhen just smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just heard my aunt mention a few neighbor's houses, and I was curious for a moment to know who they were."

Qin Youzhen was dubious, but she would not ask questions at this time. She just smiled and said: "I see. This is how it should be. Far relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If the neighbors are all honest and kind people, we can live here with peace of mind.

"

Then she talked about the houses that were not in the back streets and asked her daughter which one she liked more. Lu Yueniang felt a little embarrassed. Qin Jinhua had grown up in the capital since childhood and was quite familiar with the streets of the imperial city.

He enthusiastically provided advice to the two of them, analyzing the pros and cons of each house location, and also provided the latest news, such as the addition of shops somewhere, making life more convenient and quite lively;

There has been a lot of depression in recent years, and there are also legends of hauntings, etc., but Qin Youzhen's information database has been updated, giving her a more accurate grasp of the choice of property for her daughter's dowry.

Qin Hanzhen was listening quietly, but he had his own plans in his heart.

That day, Zhao Mo asked Qin Jian to write her a letter. In addition to some sweet words, he mentioned that he had taken a fancy to two more properties and wanted Qin Hanzhen to come over and have a look so that he could choose a house he liked as two properties.

His future new home. In fact, he had invited Qin Bai, Niu and Qin Hanzhen to visit the house together earlier. It happened to be a time when Mr. Xu was in trouble. In order to prevent the Xu family from coming to ask for help, Qin Bai was also happy to occasionally

When he went out, he didn't tell the eldest brother where he was going. However, Qin Hanzhen and his grandparents visited the houses at that time. Each had its own shortcomings, and they didn't seem to like them very much. Zhao Mo said that he would continue to ask people to inquire.

Unexpectedly, he found two more properties that could be converted into county palaces so quickly.

It's just that this time, the two of them were engaged, so it was a bit inconvenient to travel together again. Qin Hanzhen tested Qin Bai's intention, but he didn't agree, so she had to write back to Zhao Mo and let him

Make up your own mind. If you really need her help with the details, ask someone to draw a picture and send it in. In short, it is probably impossible for her to go out and hang out with him openly without her grandparents' permission.

Even without Zhao Mo accompanying her, it would be inappropriate for her to visit the house by herself. She could imagine what those gossips would say. She said that she was not married yet, so she couldn't wait to see the mansion where she would live in the future.

?Even if she doesn't care about reputation very much, she still has to think about her family and Zhao Mo. She has no intention of being called over by the Queen Mother or the female elders in the clan as soon as she marries Zhao Mo. Zhao Mo is currently

It's true that he has no parents to take care of him, but there are still many elders above him who can give pointers to his life. When he has no flaws, those people will not provoke him. But once he has something to attack

, there are many people in the clan who rely on their elders and want to suppress the arrogance of him, a new member of the clan.

Qin Hanzhen felt upset when he thought about that scene, and decided that it was best for him to be honest.

However, if Zhao Mo wants to open a palace in the capital, it will only be his residence when he lives in the capital. His real foundation is still in the newly built palace in Suning County. As the king of Suning County, he cannot live in this place all year round.

It's in the capital. Therefore, the prince's palace here in the capital doesn't need to be spacious and gorgeous, and it needs to comply with regulations. It just needs enough space, and it can also save some expenses.

Qin Hanzhen recalled the situation of several properties in the back streets introduced by her aunt Qin Youzhen, and her heart was ready to move.
