The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 511
[Chapter 511 Don’t think too much]
The group entered the city easily.
Judging from the attitude of the city guard, it wasn’t that he was upright and unwilling to accept the scraps of silver, it was just that the price Bai Xiaochun gave him was not high enough.
Perhaps the city guard saw this group of people dressed in luxurious clothes and with unfamiliar faces, and wanted to make more money.
All in all, this matter was settled easily when Shangguan Hong, who had shown his face a little bit in Du Ming Mansion, came forward.
“My house is just ahead.”
After the group of people walked for a while, a mansion appeared in front of them, with a plaque hanging on it and two big characters – Shangguan – written in flying and phoenix writing.
The gate of the mansion doesn’t look very big, but just by looking at the wall, you can tell that the area inside must be quite large.
“There is a special stable behind the house. There are more than thirty horses on weekdays. Most of them are taken to the capital by my father and are just left for you.”
Shangguan Hongzhi said with a smile while leading the way.
Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan walked side by side in Shangguan’s mansion, quite surprised.
Not because of how magnificent the mansion is.
In terms of magnificence, no matter how grand it was, it couldn’t compare to Zhao Yan’s home.
But this mansion is beyond imagination. Although it is far from the imperial palace, it is at least as big as four or five square mansions.
Shangguan Hongzhi seemed to have guessed what Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan were thinking, and explained: “My family’s main business is the escort business. When our ancestors built this mansion, they wanted to accommodate more goods and live in more places.” I hired some escorts, so the building was bigger.
Later, when the family fell into decline, the mansion was not demolished.”
Fang Xiu walked behind, nodded and said, “You’re right, this is where you go. It can accommodate a hundred people.”
After hearing this, Shangguan Hongzhi laughed twice and said, “Of course, nothing I say is even half-false.” When
Zhao Yan heard this, she seemed to have thought of it. What? He glanced at Fang Xiu who was walking next to him and muttered in a low voice: “It’s not like some people who never tell the truth.”
Fang Xiu stood next to her and pretended that he didn’t hear. Keep going.
“Here we are.”
After walking for about half a stick of incense, Shangguan Hongzhi suddenly stopped, looked back at the two of them, with a smile on his face, and said: “My sister used to live in this courtyard.
Later she got married. It’s empty. If you two don’t mind it, you can live here.”
Fang Xiu heard this and glanced at the courtyard.
Even compared with his own courtyard in Fang Mansion, it is not inferior at all. The environment is beautiful, the air is fresh, and the layout is extremely pleasing to the eye.
And there are not too many weeds, insects and ants. It can be seen that there are servants cleaning it regularly.
“It doesn’t look like anyone has lived here for a long time.”
Fang Xiu walked to the stone table and touched the table. There was not much dust.
Shangguan Hongzhi smiled and explained: “My parents have been telling me to clean this place, just because I think my sister can live in it directly when she returns to her parents’ home one day.” Fang
Xiu nodded, but he had no doubts.
Along the way, Bai Xiaochun had already inquired about some information.
Shangguan’s family is quite famous in Du Ming Mansion. His ancestors started their business as a bodyguard agency.
Later, it was not easy to continue the business of escort agency, so some people were dismissed. On the surface, it was still the largest escort agency in Du Ming Mansion.
In fact, it is involved in many other industries, such as restaurants, cloth shops, etc.
It can be considered one of the several aristocratic families in Du Ming Mansion, and compared to several other aristocratic families, its reputation is much better, even He has provided relief to the victims of disasters in Du Ming Mansion several times, and he has quite a reputation.
This can be seen from Shangguan Hongzhi’s words and deeds.
Although he can be regarded as a child of aristocratic families in Du Ming Mansion, compared to other children of aristocratic families, he does not look like a playboy at all, and the whole person appears to be very gentle.
Even if you have some special hobbies, it doesn’t hurt.
Fang Xiu took a look at the courtyard, and just as he was about to nod in agreement, he heard Zhao Yan next to him speak: “Why is there only one room in this courtyard?”
After hearing this, Fang Xiu was slightly startled, looked around, and found that the whole There is indeed only one room in the courtyard.
Shangguan Hongzhi next to him was slightly startled when he heard this. His eyes stayed between Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan for a moment, and asked, “Don’t you two know each other?”
“Knowing means knowing each other.”
Zhao Yan was about to speak, As if she thought of something, her pretty face turned red and her complexion changed.
She looked at Shangguan Hongzhi and said, “We don’t necessarily just know each other. We are friends at most. Don’t think too much about it.”
Shangguan Hongzhi was even more surprised when he heard this.
Could it be that Kyoto Prefecture and Du Ming Prefecture are different?
At this time, Fang Xiu said: “This courtyard is very nice. I will live here. If Miss Zhao wants to live elsewhere, she can do whatever she wants.”
After saying that, he took out a five hundred tael silver note from his arms. He handed it to Shangguan Hongzhi and continued: “We estimate that we will stay here for a while.
This little silver will be used as accommodation expenses plus three meals.”
When Shangguan Hongzhi heard this, a serious look appeared on his face, and he said very solemnly: “The reason why I let you live here is because I regard you as a friend. The cost of accommodation and food are all. No.”
At this point, he lowered his head and glanced at the banknote in Fang Xiu’s hand. After seeing the number on it, his pupils shrank slightly and continued: “Isn’t this too foreign?”
He paused and was busy. He coughed twice and then said: “Cough, cough, this is just this time. If you do this again next time, you won’t give me face.”
After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Fang Xiu would take the banknote back, so he hurriedly took the banknote and stuffed it into the banknote. After entering his arms, the smile on his face suddenly became brighter.
When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he didn’t feel any disgust at all. Instead, he felt more cordial.
If this guy keeps refusing to accept his banknotes, he won’t dare to live here anymore. Who knows what conspiracy he is harboring.
“By the way, if Miss Zhao is not going to live with Brother Fang, there is another courtyard next to this courtyard, which is where my sister lived before.”
“Wait a minute!”
Before Shangguan Hongzhi finished speaking, Zhao Yan said Looking at him suspiciously, he asked, “Didn’t you just say that this courtyard was where your sister used to live?”
Shangguan Hongzhi smiled and said, “Before my sister got married, she lived alone everywhere. We live in different places in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
This courtyard is where my sister lives in winter, and the one next door is where she lives in autumn.”
After hearing this, Fang Xiu and Zhao Yan felt a little speechless.
This is really a big place, so busy
