Chapter 1467: Stolen (Reward for the book friend "Manbao's Ideal" plus the second chapter)
The house was so huge that Zhou Wulang was stunned. After walking around, he said, "Why would I rent a house? I can just live here!"
Zhou Liulang also took a look around and said, "It's just a little far from the outer city, so it's not very convenient for us to get in and out."
But it was really big. Until now, he had never seen such a big house.
It's not that I haven't seen such big houses before. The Bai Shan family and Mr. Bai's family in Qili Village do have houses this big, but what's big are the gardens and yards, and there are not so many rooms.
Zhou Lijun touched the carvings on the pillars and asked, "How much did this house sell for?"
Madam Liu laughed and said, "This house is not easy to buy, but it's not easy to sell either. Even if no one lives in it, we can only leave it there."
The Changqing Lane where they lived was also in Chongyuanfang, but the locations were different. One was at the innermost side of the square, and the other was at the outermost side.
This side is full of mansions of various families. Unfortunately, Lord Yang and Lord Tang's houses are just one street away from here, one to the left and the other to the right.
There are only four households in this entire street, which shows how big this house is.
Not to mention Zhou Lijun, even Manbao wanted to sell the house.
However, Mrs. Liu said that the house was difficult to sell. Zhou Wulang went to inquire about it and found that it was indeed difficult to sell because no one had ever thought of buying a house here, and no one had ever thought of selling a house.
After returning from the broker, he said to Manbao, "Forget it. The broker said that the houses there are usually only confiscated or given away as rewards. No one will sell or buy them. Let's move in."
Manbao was reluctant to leave the house in Changqing Lane, "It's quite comfortable to live here."
Zhou Wulang disagreed, "When you live over there, you'll have your own yard and you'll feel comfortable in no time."
Manbao: "...Is it possible for me to live alone in a yard? Will I be scared?"
Would you be afraid to ask him?
Zhou Wulang looked at Manbao silently.
But moving is not something that can be done in a short time, especially since everyone is still very busy. Although there are furniture in the house over there, many things are missing. We have to move them there bit by bit, so there is no rush.
Bai Shan and Man Bao only learned the origin of this house when they went to Jingzhao Prefecture to see the three patients.
Yang Heshu agreed to serve as an interpreter for Manbao and the others. He could speak several Hu languages, so when he saw the three people with high noses and deep eyes from Gaochang, he changed three Hu languages in a row and finally found a Hu language that could communicate with them.
So he asked in detail about the falling meteorite according to Manbao's instructions.
Although they did not dig up the stone, the craftsman who carved it was their family member. The craftsman told them the location and circumstances under which the stone fell, so they really knew it.
Yang Heshu also drew a map based on their description, which simply marked the location of their village and the approximate place where they landed.
Of course, they didn't know the exact location, they could only tell it to walk in the direction of the afternoon sun for a certain length of time, so Yang Heshu could only make a rough mark.
It can be seen that Manbao and the others seemed to want to find this thing by themselves, so Yang Heshu simply asked them about the customs and habits of Gaochang, as well as the situation of some forces.
Unfortunately, they were all former slaves of the royal family and had never left their market before, so they could not tell anything except some local customs and practices.
The three of them, especially the two who were conscious, were a little annoyed and felt that they could not help Manbao.
They have been feeling much better these days. Although they cannot communicate in the same language, they know that their poison has been cured by this little girl.
What they had always thought was a curse turned out to be poison.
They were very grateful to Manbao and wanted to repay her, but they had nothing and she couldn't understand what they said. They really didn't know how to repay her, so they could only say, "If the little doctor goes to Gaochang in the future, as long as you ask, we will lead the way for her."
Yang Heshu relayed their words.
Bai Shan was slightly stunned and asked, "Why, are you going to stay in the capital?"
The two of them nodded together, even the person lying down nodded, and said, "The capital is great. We don't want to go back to Gaochang. Our village is a cursed place."
Although it has been clarified that it was poison, they still feel that their village is an ominous place, especially when they think of the strange children born in recent years, they are even more reluctant to go back.
Manbao and Baishan felt a little regretful. They were homesick and thought they were the same. They had worried that it would take a long time for them to return.
Seeing them sighing repeatedly, Yang Heshu said, "They are still slaves in Gaochang. Although the eldest prince of Gaochang has died, other nobles have taken over. They will live a hard life if they return. It is better for them to stay in the capital, even as hard labor, than being slaves in Gaochang."
Lord Tang also nodded, saying that slavery in the Western Regions was much more serious than in the Central Plains.
Yang Heshu suddenly thought of something and said with a smile, "I heard you're moving to Daze Road?"
Lord Tang was stunned and asked, "Daze Road?"
Yang Heshu smiled and said, "You've been busy interrogating people these past two days, so I'm afraid you didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has filled the villa on Daze Road with treasures. When I returned home yesterday, I heard from the servants that a new family seemed to have moved in behind our house. They're a young miracle doctor from the capital."
Manbao said: "We haven't moved yet, but my fifth brother and the others have slowly moved some things over there, and we will move together when we have time."
Besides, they had already paid the rent for June for the courtyard in Changqing Lane, so they were naturally not in a hurry to move.
Manbao asked, "Xiaoxue Yang, why is it so hard to sell the house on Daze Road?"
Yang Heshu was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Are you going to sell the house?"
Tang He said speechlessly, "You really want to sell it? Aren't you afraid of offending the Crown Prince and Duke Zhao?"
Manbao: "...the house they gave me as a reward, will I offend them if I sell it?"
Yang Heshu smiled and said, "The Crown Prince may not take this matter to heart, but the Duke of Zhao's Mansion may not."
He said, "Duke Zhao has six sons. In addition to the three legitimate sons, there are three illegitimate sons. This house on Daze Road is extraordinary. Do you know why Duke Zhao gave it to the crown prince?"
Manbao and Baishan shook their heads together.
Yang Heshu looked at Tang He and said with a smile, "You talk to them."
Tang He seemed to be very familiar with these anecdotes. He immediately rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Do you know how this house came about?"
Without waiting for the two to reply, Tang He said, "Duke Zhao occupied it after he accompanied Your Majesty into the capital."
Why did the late emperor fear the present emperor’s great achievements?
It is because the current emperor not only made many military achievements, but also captured the capital city back then. At that time, the late emperor was still in Taiyuan, and the prince was in charge of the food and grass of the three armies and could not spare time.
As the second son, he led the charge into the capital. Among those who followed him in, Duke Su and others were rough and uncouth men who only cared about rushing into the palace and occasionally robbing some gold and silver from the fleeing wealthy families.
But Duke Zhao came from a noble family. Seeing that so many people had fled the city, he simply took his men to occupy several good mansions.
Lord Tang smiled and said, "This large mansion on Daze Road that your family owns today was occupied by the Duke of Zhao at that time, and the late Emperor did not reclaim it after he entered the capital."
See you tomorrow
