Zhang Shixun heard this and hurriedly stopped him: "Young Master, please don't bother with this girl. She's been tossing and turning all day and must be exhausted."
Gao Yanei yawned and said, "Well, since you don't want it, I don't want it either. I have business to attend to tomorrow."
Before going to bed, Wang Dong ran to Zhang Shixun's room and complained, "Gao Yanei wants to call a woman for us, why don't you want it, you idiot!"
"Old Wang, why do you have such a shameless preference?" Zhang Shixun looked at him in surprise.
"This is called Feng Liu. I told you on the way here today that I want to have more children in the Song Dynasty and have more children."
"Even if you want to have a child, you should find a girl from a decent family, not a woman from a brothel."
"It's okay for me to relieve my fatigue, right?" Wang Dong said shamelessly.
"What if I get that disease?"
"There weren't that many diseases in the Song Dynasty, so even if there were, there's nothing to worry about. By the way, I have a medical cabin in my time-space shuttle that can cure any disease."
"Even so, people should always have a sense of shame and uphold moral standards... Never mind, we're all adults, if you want to be romantic, then go ahead."
Wang Dong was very unhappy and waved his hands with a gloomy face: "Forget it, I have no time to think about anything after you messed me up like this."
"In that case, go back to your room and sleep."
Nothing happened that night, and the next morning, Gao Yanei took them to see the house.
When they reached Zhou Bridge, Gao Yanei stopped and pointed westward, saying, "This street is called West Street. It's a bustling place in the capital. Look at the shops on both sides, one next to the other. It's very lively."
Zhang Shixun nodded. He had been here many times and it was indeed prosperous.
Wang Dong is different. He has been staying in the hotel for two months since he came to Tokyo. Even when he comes out, he just hangs around the Shiqianjiao Inn.
Gao Yanei led the two men along West Street for a short distance before pointing to an alley to the south and saying, "This is Jinqian Lane. The house is at the end of the alley, right next to the Bian River, with a superb view. Riverside houses like this are in high demand, and you may not be able to buy one no matter how much money you spend."
Zhang Shixun and the other man smiled at each other, unable to hide their joy.
"My father bought this house by chance. It was originally the residence of a minister in the Ministry of Revenue. Because he offended Wang Fu, he was demoted and sent to another place. He had no choice but to sell it to my father. Now I sell it to you. I feel a little sad."
"Selling the bracelet to you will make my cousin feel even more pained."
Wang Dong was quite cooperative today. Upon hearing this, he pretended to be sad.
Although Jinqian Lane is not as wide as West Street, it is still wider than ordinary alleys, and two carriages can easily run side by side.
After walking along the alley for a while, Gao Yanei pointed forward and said, "We're here. The one with the gatehouse in front is it."
Zhang Shixun and the other man looked in the direction of his finger and saw a small gatehouse facing the street with a pair of small stone lions standing on either side of the door.
Gao Yanei's followers were already waiting there. When they saw Gao Yanei and his companions arriving, they opened the door.
Zhang Shixun and Wang Dong were both very excited, as this was their new home.
Following Gao Yanei into the courtyard, there was a screen wall as soon as we entered the door. On the screen wall were paintings of flowers, birds, fish, insects and a welcoming pine tree.
After turning around the screen wall, a square courtyard appeared in front of us. There were two pomegranate trees planted in the courtyard. Now was the fruit-bearing season, and the trees were laden with fruits.
Opposite the courtyard gate is the living room, with side rooms on both sides.
After looking at the front yard, Gao Yanei led the two along the corridor to the backyard.
The two back courtyards are two-story buildings, simple and elegant.
Zhang Shixun and the other man were very satisfied after seeing it.
If a house of this size were placed in later generations, it would be considered an antique. Not to mention owning it, you would have to buy a ticket even to visit it.
Arriving at the small building in the backyard, Gao Yanei opened the window and pointed at the Bian River outside and said, "You two, standing on the small building and looking at the Bian River behind you, it's really refreshing."
"Well! It's really good." Zhang Shixun felt refreshed as he looked at the boats shuttling back and forth in the Bian River.
After looking at the scenery for a while, Zhang Shixun walked around the rooms with his hands behind his back.
Gao Yanei accompanied him and introduced: "This is the bedroom, the one next door is the study, and the small room near the stairs is the maid's room. It is fully furnished and is all given to you."
Zhang Shixun smiled and nodded. He finally had a home to call home, and he could move in right away. He was so happy!
After coming out of the small building, I went to take a look at the garden at the back. The garden was not very big. I could vaguely see the Bian River through the stained glass windows on the courtyard wall. There was also a small door in the courtyard wall at the back.
Zhang Shixun opened the small door and looked out. A stone staircase extended all the way to the edge of the Bian River.
"How is it? Is Brother Zhang satisfied?" Gao Yanei asked.
More than satisfied, I was overjoyed.
This deal made a lot of money.
One has to admit that Wang Dong was foresighted in choosing cheap jewelry instead of gold or silver.
Gao Yanei asked again, "Brother Zhang, what do you think of this house?"
"Yeah! It's okay. Although it's a little small and old, it's still habitable."
"Just make do with it?" Hearing him say this, Gao Yanei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Do you know how much this house is worth?"
"I don't know." Zhang Shixun shook his head.
Gao Yanei stretched out a finger.
"One hundred thousand strings of cash?"
"Pah! This amount of money can't even buy a garden out back."
"Is this house worth one million strings of cash?" Zhang Shixun was a little surprised.
Gao Yanei was very annoyed when he saw that he really didn't know the market situation. If he had known that this guy wanted a mansion worth 100,000 taels of silver, he would have just built a yard outside the city and sent him away.
Zhang Shixun saw his regretful expression and said, "Young Master, one million strings of cash is not a lot. Those bracelets are truly priceless treasures, one-of-a-kind in the world. They can easily fetch millions. You've made a killing on this deal."
Shopkeeper Zhao came in and bowed, reporting: "Young Master, the ten thousand strings of cash are ready, half in silver and half in copper coins."
"Well! Move it over and leave it to this guy."
Two attendants came in carrying a wooden box. Manager Zhao opened the box and said to Zhang Shixun, "Master Zhang, here are all the ten thousand strings of cash. Please count them."
Zhang Shixun waved his hand generously, "No need to order it, I trust Yanei, just put it in the back hall."
Seeing that the matter was finished, Gao Yanei said, "Let's go to Kaifeng Prefecture to get the house deed. Let's finish it quickly. I have to go back and tell my father." After that, he casually threw a bunch of keys over and said, "This place is yours."
Zhang Shixun took the key and felt so refreshed, as if he had drunk a glass of ice water in scorching hot weather.
"Wang Dong, do you want to go to Kaifeng Prefecture to get a house deed?" Zhang Shixun asked Wang Dong.
"I won't go. Anyway, these matters are under your control... By the way, I've taken a fancy to the backyard. It's quiet there."
