Xie Xun quickly took out a detoxification pill and swallowed it as insurance, then gave way again: "Five million taels of silver."
Chen Anning kept walking.
Xie Xun straightened his body and said in a fish-to-death gesture: "Five million taels of silver, if it works, it's okay. If it doesn't work, it's up to you. Anyway, the imperial edict of marriage has been issued. Unless you resist the edict, you will be mine in life and death." It’s my ghost too, you can do whatever you want!”
Chen Anning stopped and the lion opened his mouth and said: "Nine into the courtyard, five million taels of silver."
Xie Xun sneered and said: "You dare to think that the Nine-Jin Courtyard is only worthy of an emperor with a high status of ninety-five. Even if I dare to give it to you, do you dare to live in it?"
She doesn't understand this.
Chen Anning stepped back and asked for the next best thing: "Then enter the courtyard seven times and get five million taels of silver."
Xie Xun said quickly: "Deal!"
Chen Anning: ...I feel like I'm at a loss. I should have added 10 million taels of silver to the compound every seven days.
Seeing her thoughts, Xie Xun snorted coldly and said: "Kaihuafang or Chongyifang are both adjacent to the imperial city. Do you know how much money an ordinary courtyard house in these two buildings costs?"
Chen Anning sneered: "If you can't bear it, you can take it back!"
Dead woman!
Bullying people with technology!
Xie Xun clenched his fists and hummed under her provocative gaze: "In these two places, even an ordinary courtyard house costs at least several hundred thousand taels of silver."
"What does hundreds of thousands of taels of silver or millions of taels of silver have to do with you?" Chen Anning said scornfully, "No matter how much money you spend, it has been accumulated by the Guangling Palace for generations. Does it have anything to do with you?"
That makes sense!
The Guangling Prince's Mansion has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, which is longer than the founding of the Wei Kingdom. Even Prince Guangling himself probably doesn't know how much property he has in his name.
The little money given to her was really nothing.
Thinking of this, the pain in Xie Xun's heart was instantly relieved.
But nevertheless.
He still swore silently in his heart that the money would not be wasted, and he would make the most of it for her!
After taking the oath and calming down, Xie Xun asked: "Tell me, which one do you want, Kaihuafang or Chongyifang?"
Chen Anning took the cloak from He Xiang, wrapped it up, went into the house and sat down, first let him order breakfast from Zuixianlou, and then said: "Tell me, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each of these two houses?" .”
Xie Xun said slowly: "Kaihuafang is bounded by Zhuque Street to the west, Anshangmen Street to the east, Andaofang to the south, and Xingdaofang to the north. There is a canal passing through the north of the square from west to east. There are two gates in the east and west. , there are no south and north gates. There is a Dajianfu Temple in the square, and there is a Fashuni Temple to the north of the west gate. In addition to these basic conditions, the square now houses Shangshu Zuopushe Sun Shiliang, and his servant Jia Datong wait."
"The residence of Prince Guangling in this square is located in the northeast corner."
"The advantage of this place is that neither Mr. Sun nor Mr. Jia is hospitable to hospitality, and the canal also happens to pass through the residence of Prince Guangling, so the place is quiet and elegant, and the house has beautiful scenery. The disadvantage is that with these two adults here, You need to keep a low profile and quiet manner at all times.”
"As for Chongyifang, it is located in the east of the second gate of Zhuquemen Street in the south of the imperial city and the second gate in the north. It is bounded by Qixiamen Street in the east, Anshangmen Street in the west, Changxingfang in the south and Wubenfang in the north. There is a canal passing through the north of the square from west to east. Like Kaihuafang, only the east and west gates are opened. There are Yantie Changpingyuan, various entrance halls, etc. in the square. To the north of the east-west cross street, there are Zhaofu Temple, Cross To the south of the west side of the street is Li Deyu, Prince of Hedong County, and from the northeast corner to the southeast corner is the mansion of Duke Xu."
"The residence of the Prince of Guangling in this square is located to the east of the north gate."
"The advantage of this square is that it is convenient to know the news from various counties, and it is also convenient to find Ah Zan when something happens. The disadvantage is that the canal does not flow through the houses, so the flow of people in the square is complicated, and you may often be harassed by Ah Zan. .”
After hearing this, Chen Anning chose without hesitation: "Chongyifang."
Xie Xun was not surprised by her choice. He tapped on the tea table and waited for the guards hiding in the dark to come out. He casually ordered: "Go back to the palace quickly and get the deed of the house to the east of the north gate of Chongyifang. The deeds to the silk shop and fruit shop in Chongyifang Market, the silk shop and restaurant in West Main Street, the jade shop in East Main Street, and the land deeds to the thousand acres of fertile land in Zhouzhuang in the southern suburbs were brought together. I."
After the guards took the order, they left.
Facing Chen Anning's questioning look, Xie Xun explained: "Five million taels of silver is not a small amount. The Guangling Palace does not have that much cash, so it can only convert it into shops and land for you. But don't worry, these shops and land combined will , the market value is far more than five million taels of silver."
Chen Anning nodded, "Okay."
Xie Xun curled his lips and said, "I'm going to become a millionaire soon. Tell me, what do you think?"
Chen Anning glanced at him and said coldly: "In exchange for five years of selling myself, how do you want me to feel?"
Xie Xun touched his nose guiltily, fearing that she would see the clue, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "When do you plan to move?"
Chen Anning looked at him again and said, "If you have something to say, just tell me and stop beating around the bush."
"It's not a big deal," Xie Xun said lightly, "After the store is handed over to you, I will always arrange for the steward to report the current financial and operating conditions to you."
Chen Anning knew that in the era of imperial power, emperors always kept their word. But she took it for granted that Xie Xun had already explained the five-year period in advance when he asked the emperor for the imperial edict of marriage, so she insisted on doing things well after taking the money and said: "Don't worry, you go ahead and say Talk about the case."
Xie Xun secretly breathed a sigh of relief and told her everything that happened after entering the darkroom in detail.
As for whether the lie will be exposed, it doesn't matter, it can be postponed for one day.
Chen Anning didn't expect that Chen Ziling's plan could even lead to clues to the disappearance of the boy and girl.
It was a blessing in disguise.
Touching the tea table with her fingertips, she pondered for a moment and asked, "Who is Song Fu's father..."
Xie Xun interfaced: "Young Minister Taipu Temple. Taipus Temple is mainly responsible for raising military horses. You also know that in the era of cold weapons, military horses are the most important combat tools. Therefore, Taipus Temple is a national-level confidential unit. Taipus Temple The number of horses kept in the temple is not known to outsiders.”
Chen Anning raised her eyebrows, "In other words, Song Fu's father is one of the most trusted people by the emperor?"
Xie Xun nodded, "You can say that."
"No wonder the targets of persecution are all the children of ordinary people." Considering the emperor's trust in him and the importance of his position, even if the incident happened, he might not be punished much. Chen Anning sneered twice and said sarcastically, "Song Fu's father is one of the most trusted people by the Emperor, and you are also one of the most trusted people by the Emperor. If you investigate him, is it considered a righteous act of annihilation?"
"Forget it!" Xie Xun joked, "So, in order to prevent me from bending the law for personal gain, please work harder and supervise me more."
Chen Anning smiled half-heartedly: "You can supervise, but you have to pay."
Xie Xun quickly changed the topic: "Eat!"
At the dinner table, no one spoke.
After a meal.
Chen Anning looked into his eyes: "If it turns out that the masterminds of the disappearance of the boy and girl are Song Fu and his son, what are you going to do?"
