The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 487

[Chapter 487 Happy Event]

As time went by, the weather gradually became colder.

Even if there is a small stove in the house, it still cannot stop the chill of late autumn.

Fang Xiu was lying on the Taishi’s chair, reading a book of casual stories. He was covered in fox fur and still felt a little cold.

After a moment, he stood up and shouted toward the door: “Here comes!”

In just a moment, Bai Xiaochun appeared in front of him and said respectfully: “Master, what are your orders?”

Fang Xiu looked at him. He asked, “Have you finished the heating pipe I asked you to make a few days ago?”

A heating pipe, as the name suggests, is a heating pipe made of copper pipes. The principle is not complicated, and it is no different from the heating in the previous life.

If there is any difference, it is that the hot water in the copper pipe is artificially fired.

Of course, in this era, especially when the Central Plains has just experienced a famine, the most valuable thing is labor.

“Master, it’s done.”

Bai Xiaochun heard Fang Xiu’s words and hurriedly lowered his head.

Fang Xiu glanced at him and asked, “When will I be able to pretend?”

Bai Xiaochun thought for a while and replied, “As long as you give me an order, I can pretend now.”

Fang Xiu nodded, waved his hand and said, “Go down. “

Okay.”

“Yes, Master!”

Bai Xiaochun responded respectfully and turned around to go down.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the yard.

A steward of the house hurried in and shouted almost ecstatically: “Master, Master, what a happy event! What a happy event!”

Fang Xiu heard this voice, frowned, looked at the steward and asked “What a happy event?”

The steward stood in front of him, with a look of joy on his face, and replied: “Report to the young master, master, master, he won!” When

Fang Xiu heard this, he was not too surprised. .

With Heavenly Punishment No. 1 and Heavenly Punishment No. 2 in hand, even if you pull out a school captain at random, you can win this battle, not to mention your cheap father who has experienced hundreds of battles.

Even so, he was slightly relieved when he heard the news.

No matter what, he is his father, his most solid support in this world. He can be safe, and he is naturally happy.

“I got it”

Fang Xiu thought in his heart, but the expression on his face didn’t change much. He waved his hand, looked at Bai Xiaochun beside him, and ordered: “What are you doing standing here? Go down and give the heating pipe to the young master.” I’ll pretend, or I’ll deduct this month’s salary!” When

Bai Xiaochun heard this, he hurriedly bowed: “Young man, go right now!”

On the other side, when the manager saw this scene, he wanted to speak, but he was a little uncomfortable. I dare to say it.

Fang Xiu looked at the steward again and said, “Go on and tell me, what else is there?”

After the steward heard this, he continued: “Master, besides this, there is another happy event, that is, we The price of the capital’s residence has gone up!”

When he said this, his voice became trembling.

Compared to the first message, the second message actually shocked him even more.

It is no exaggeration to say that An Pingbo was regarded as a god-general in the hearts of the old stewards of the Fang Mansion. In so many wars, had he ever encountered any major crisis?

Even if they meet, the danger will be saved in the end.

Therefore, they are not too worried about their master’s safety, or in other words, they are very confident in their master’s strength.

But the price of this mansion is different.

During this period, the young master borrowed money from everywhere, almost mortgaging his ancestral home to Yaxing like he did before, and he scraped together so much money to buy the mansion.

Even so, the price of this house is still falling. Buying one more place means throwing a lot of money into the water.

It was said that it was thrown into the water, but in fact, in the eyes of servants like them, it was worse than being thrown into the water.

After all, money can still make a sound when thrown into water, but it is literally gone when it is smashed into a mansion.

As stewards, they watched the young master do such a thing, but there was nothing they could do about it. They listened to the gossip outside every day, and they didn’t know how much pressure they were under.

These pressures are finally released today.

Home prices have gone up!

Not just a rise, but a big rise!

Although it is still worse than before the war started, it has increased a lot compared to some time ago.

The original price of the mansion was 5,000 taels of silver, but after the war started, it was reduced to 3,000 taels of silver, and then to 2,000 taels of silver.

After the young master bought it with two thousand taels of silver, in just a few days, the price dropped to one thousand taels.

But

now it has risen back to three thousand taels!

This is a huge happy event!

After the steward finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at his young master, trying to find some change in his young master’s face.

But he was still disappointed.

The young master’s expression did not change at all, it was still expressionless as before, as if what he said was just a trivial matter.

“Oh, I see.”

What he said matched his expression. The four short words reflected endless indifference.

When the steward saw this scene, he couldn’t help but feel admiration in his heart.

The young master is indeed a young master. Even if he studied for half his life, he would not be able to learn the essence of this attitude of not being surprised!

“Master,”

the steward hesitated for a moment, then said, “can the mansions we bought before be sold?” When

Fang Xiu heard this, his expression changed instantly.

He was originally lying on the Grand Master’s chair. He straightened up, picked up the feather duster at hand, pointed at the steward, and cursed: “When did you think about selling now!?

Wait for me, young master, when will the price rise?” I’ll tell you ten times the purchase price, otherwise don’t bother me!”

The steward didn’t dare to complain at all after being beaten. He lowered his head and kept saying, “You’re wrong, you’re wrong!” ‘.

In fact, I felt aggrieved in my heart.

In his opinion, the reason why the price of the mansion can rise this time is all dependent on the master winning this battle.

But this battle can be won, but what about the next one?

The south can win, but what about the north?

No matter what, the final result is the same. The imperial court may not lose, but the possibility of winning is also very slim.

After all, the imperial court faced two enemies at the same time, and it was difficult for two fists to defeat four enemies!

At this time, while the price of the mansion has risen slightly, it is the right way to sell all the house deeds and land deeds to recover the losses as soon as possible.

Obviously, the young master doesn’t think so. How is it possible that

it rose to ten times the purchase price

?

Unless the Qiyan tribe is completely wiped out by the imperial troops and there is no external threat from the north, the price of the capital’s residence can rise to such a high level.

Otherwise there is absolutely no chance.

However, how is it possible for the imperial court to completely wipe out the soldiers and horses of the Qiyan tribe?
