Chapter 208 Get Closer to the Princess' Mansion
"Why did you become the county magistrate before the autumn period arrived? What happened?" Gu Qing was quite surprised. Did this kid also do something extraordinary and be granted an official status as an exception?
"Hey, it's because of you, Princess!" Mo Li took Gu Qing's arm and shook it.
Gu Qing withdrew his hand and glared at him: "Speak carefully!"
"Princess!" Mo Li was glared at by Gu Qing, and he immediately became a lot better. His eyes turned pitiful when he looked at Gu Qing: "The rice seeds provided by the princess to Nanzhou are very popular. The Holy Spirit will reward you."
He bought a lot of fertile land and jewels, and by the way, he gave me a sesame official title...hehe!"
So, one person can achieve enlightenment and ascend to heaven?
"You are like this, can you be a good county magistrate?" Gu Qing clicked his tongue, sweating for all the people in Yuhua County.
Hearing this, Mo Li was not ashamed but proud: "You are here, Princess! I have thought about it all. I will move the county government to the fishing village. I have chosen the location, and I have already
Reported to Magistrate Song, and Magistrate Song agreed!"
Gu Qing was speechless: "It's getting late, everyone has breakfast first, and Brother Yang will be hosting the merchant auction in the afternoon!"
"Princess!" Nangong Yi quickly chased after him: "We meet again!"
"Why are you here too?" Gu Qing remembered that the farthest place she promoted was limited to Qingzhou Fucheng. How did Nangong Yi know about it?
"The princess has made great achievements again. Who in the entire Liang Dynasty doesn't know the name of Princess Rongchang?"
"Win the prize, win the prize!" Everyone here is a customer, especially today's shop auction. With Nangong Yi here, she is not worried about the shop not getting the price!
The auction was in the afternoon, and there was a food feast in the evening. Gu Qing led a few people to the breakfast shop.
After having dinner early, Zhu Han and Yang Pei could go back early and take a nap.
A few people ordered food and sat at their respective seats to taste some special dishes from the fishing village. Mo Li stood up and gave Gu Qing a steamed shrimp dumpling. When he retracted his hand, his wide sleeves knocked over the teacup on the table. One cup
All the tea was spilled on Nangong Yi.
My chest was wet.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Nangong, I brought some clothes here, and I asked the boy to accompany you to change!" Mo Li snapped his fingers, and the boy beside him immediately made a gesture of invitation.
Nangong Yi knew that he did it on purpose, and he probably didn't have any good intentions when he took him to change clothes, but he also wanted to see what Mo Li would do against him.
So, he followed the boy and changed into a set of coarse cloth clothes. Nangong Yi felt that his appearance was brought down by these clothes.
No, he had to hang around Gu Qing and let Gu Qing know that he was being targeted.
"Young master, do you want to buy a house?" A boy of thirteen or fourteen stopped his way and handed him a leaflet.
Buying a house? Nangong Yi paused and asked, "Does the princess live here?"
"Yes, the princess lives in the house closest to the sea!" Xiao Ding said vividly: "Our houses are all newly built, and the scenery is amazing. You can buy it, rent it out, and live in it yourself.
That’s fine, we all check in with your bags, and there are gold medal butlers at your service at any time!”
Nangong Yi laughed softly when he heard these words. Gu Qing taught him this.
"Okay, take me to see it!"
Xiao Ding suddenly remembered that his master had said that all the customers he picked up must be brought to the master first. If the master thinks he can buy it, he will take it over. Only the ones he cannot buy can be kept for him to practice.
Xiao Ding took Nangong Yi, who was dressed in coarse cloth, into a shop in the fishing village that specialized in house transactions.
Nangong Yi followed behind and walked in.
There were quite a lot of staff inside, seven or eight of them. When he walked in, the seven or eight people looked up and then lowered their heads and continued to do their own things.
Nangong Yi's face was a little cold. Where did Gu Qing find this group of people? Isn't this a loss of his own brand?
And these people in the shop have sold a lot of houses in the past few days. The houses here are good, the scenery is good, and the princess is here, they don't have to worry about not having business. Naturally they don't want to see Nangong Yi in coarse clothes.
Waste of time.
"Master!" Xiao Ding shouted.
At this time, a middle-aged man finally came out. He looked at the coarse cloth clothes Nangong Yi was wearing carefully. From the first glance, he looked like an ordinary citizen. The houses here cost tens of thousands of taels, so he was probably an owner who just didn't want to buy it.
"My surname is Feng, just call me Lao Feng." Lao Feng said perfunctorily, "Do you want to buy a house?"
Nangong Yi knew that the houses here were very popular, and he also realized that the coarse clothes he wore were normal for these people to eat and drink. After thinking about it, he lost his temper: "When I buy a house, I want it to be close to the one where the princess lives."
Some."
Old Feng glanced at Nangong Yi: "A courtyard close to the princess's palace is not cheap. A courtyard costs at least 20,000 taels of silver. My guest, are you sure?"
Nangong Yi nodded: "If you have time, you can take me to see it now."
"Okay." Old Feng lowered his head reluctantly and took a key from the drawer, "Let's go, it's not far, just ahead."
It's not far indeed. After walking for a while, we arrived. In the residential area behind the commercial street, there is a small courtyard. When you walk in, you can see the overall situation. The style of the house is very unique, somewhat similar to that in Persia.
In Nangong Yi's view, this courtyard is indeed good, but it is too small and can only accommodate seven or eight people at most.
And every time he travels, there are twenty secret guards accompanying him. This courtyard is obviously not enough to live in.
"This is a newly built courtyard. Look at the doors and windows. These large pieces of glass are all shipped from Xiliang." Old Feng said, "This courtyard is not expensive, eighteen thousand taels of silver."
Ah Fu, who was following him, took a breath of cold air. He followed Nangong Yi and dealt with many houses. The most expensive ones were more than a hundred thousand taels. But when he heard that such a small house cost eighteen thousand taels, it was really expensive.
Shocked.
Nangong Yi can accept it.
After all, she built the house. With the glass that most people can't afford, it's normal that the house is more expensive.
In addition, there is a commercial street and workshops here. This house is quiet in the middle of the bustle. It is elegantly decorated and has high housing prices. It is not unusual at all.
It's just that the courtyard is too small, and there are so many of them that they won't be able to stay there even if they stay for a few days.
He said: "Is there a larger courtyard, preferably one that can accommodate twenty people?"
Old Feng twitched the corners of his lips. This man was not well-dressed and he asked for so much.
However, he is responsible for the reception, so he must complete the process.
So, he took Nangong Yi directly to the house next door, took out the key, and opened the door.
"This is a three-story house." Lao Feng introduced casually. "There is a bath garden in the backyard. It is very luxurious. This house costs 25,000 taels."
At this price, ordinary people simply cannot afford it.
