Chapter 1833: Ren Zi Juan’s first confrontation, Zi Ying shows her edge (1)

Lai Da didn't know that King Shou was already thinking too much at this time, so he nodded repeatedly: "The imperial concubine lived there when she was visiting the bride. People said that the materials and workmanship there were too luxurious and exquisite, but I still like it very much."

"That's it." Zhang Chi nodded slightly, "In that case, we will go and take a look at it soon. I heard that not many people are interested in it, and maybe we can get a big deal."

"That's right, the nobles in the capital city like to live in Yongfang and Nanxunfang, or Baodafang, Jiqingfang, or even worse, Zhaohui Jinggongfang, Xianyifang, Mingyufang Among these places, no one would choose a house in Jinchengfang, but Rongning Second Mansion is different. Although the location does not look good, it has brought running water into it, and the area is vast. It can be said that there is beauty hidden inside..."

Lai Da showed off a few words he learned from his son Lai Shangrong, and was obsessed with winning the favor of his new master.

"You know a lot." Zhang Chi also likes to have such an old man who is very familiar with the affairs of the back house to help him. After this person was expelled from the Jia family, he was like a lost dog. Now that the Jia family is in trouble, he is even more desperate. He wants to step on the Jia family and completely draw a line with the Jia family, which suits his taste.

"Your Majesty, the young family has worked hard for the Jia family for decades, but they were kicked out by them in the end. Even Quan Zi was about to donate his official position, but was shelved in the end. This kind of unscrupulous family should have been kicked out long ago. The imperial court has punished him. This time he colluded with the puppet government in Nanjing, so he should be investigated thoroughly, and he must not be allowed to get away with it."

 Lai Da gritted his teeth and said.

 Zhang Chi was quite interested, "Do you hate your original master's family so much?"

"Your Majesty, a small family has worked hard for them for decades, and just for some trivial things, our Lai family has been ruined. How can such a humble family make the people below loyal?" Lai said with a dignified tone.

Zhang Chi doesn't care. This kind of veteran who jumped out of the house may have some skills, but his loyalty needs to be observed, but now he can work for himself, and it is still of some use.

I just don’t know what Rong Ning’s Second Mansion and the provincial villa built for Concubine Jia are like. I would have to see it with my own eyes to know, but he has always coveted Concubine Jia.

Although Concubine Jia has been released from confinement and returned to Fengzao Palace, things are different now. These concubines have nothing to rely on now, especially Concubine Jia, whose family has already She was labeled as a traitor to the family and imprisoned. Now she can only hide in Fengzao Palace and be a talent with her tail between her legs. She can find opportunities to make fun of her.

If you can seize his old house, it will be a good way to humiliate the other party, and it will also become a great pleasure.

Just when Zhang Chi was full of thoughts, Feng Ziying was also watching the salesperson's introduction on the other side.

The sellers are professionals specially hired by the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works. There are many intermediary brokers in Beijing, and they make a living through introducing business. This group is quite large, and most of them are people with some connections, so this sale is also Several brokers who specialize in this business were invited to use their sharp tongue to build momentum for these sales items.

Compared with what is usually seen intuitively, the professional broker's detailed introduction to Rongning Second Mansion is much more detailed, including the area of ​​Rongning Second Mansion, regular shape, the number of buildings inside, mountains, rocks, water flows, vegetation and animals, etc. With the introduction and the deconstruction of the whole picture, people can get a general idea of ​​the two houses at once.

“Brother Qiang, can you tell me how many people are interested in Rong Ning’s Second Residence?” Feng Ziying took a sip of tea and asked.

"It seems like no one is interested yet, right?" Jia Qiang now feels comfortable being the manager of the Daguan Tower. The business is booming, the income is high, and she can make friends with various people in Beijing. She is very satisfied. "I asked around a few days ago, and it seems that I don't like Jinchengfang very much. I think it's biased. However, the houses in Yongfang and Nanxunfang are very popular. However, the quantity sold this time is too large. Monk Shao Porridge If there are too many, the price will definitely not be raised. In addition, I heard that there are still many Jiangnan businessmen coming to Beijing to buy mansions, but they seem to be very low-key, and they are far less ostentatious than before,..."

Jia Qiang is now Feng Ziying's other spy in the capital city. If Ni Er's intelligence system is mainly based on the middle and lower classes, then Jia Qiang's sources of information are mainly concentrated on the middle and upper classes, especially those who like this kind of thing and come to the theater. The gossip can always be passed to Jia Qiang as quickly as possible, and then summarized to Wu Yaoqing.

“Oh, do you know who they are?” Feng Ziying asked with a smile.

"It's hard to find out. My nephew also observed some clues. He only said that some unknown people from Jiangnan came to sign up to participate in the sale, and most of them were anonymous. Even if they were not anonymous, they would not be recognized. This is obviously a bit strange, and the court also said that the ownership can be transferred in two years, isn't this a cover for them?" Jia Qiang stood aside and said with a smile.

“Do you have any suitable recommendations for me about the farms outside the city and the shops in the city?” Feng Ziying no longer cared.

Even if the people in Nanjing know about it, this is still a conspiracy. If it is done openly and openly, what can you do if you know it? You don’t know who is doing these things, and you can’t check it carefully. It is easy to make people suspicious and panic inside, so the best thing to do is swallow their anger and ignore it.

"Do you want to buy some houses outside the city or shops in the city?" Jia Qiang heard this and said quickly: "You can't hide that from your nephew. Of the more than 100 mansions and farms sold by the imperial court this time, the farm only accounts for Thirty properties, and they are far more popular than mansions, and the prices are better than those of mansions. It is estimated that many of them have found new homes. If I am interested, my nephew will immediately look for one or two properties for me. As for the shops, they are not included in the calculation. The number is also quite large, but the prices of the shops are quite suitable now..."

"Help me take a look. If there is something suitable, I will also buy two or three places. It doesn't need to be too big. A village of one or two hundred acres is enough. The shop is facing the street. It is best to make a living." Feng Ziying nodded.

In addition to Zhuangzi, such as shops, he also wanted to take advantage of the current price increase in the capital but the decline in the prices of fixed assets to buy some. He had no other intention. He also made arrangements for some women, such as Lin Hongyu's parents and Yuanyang's. Brother, sister-in-law, and even Eryou’s mother.

These people came out of prison with no money, so they couldn't bring it all to their families. Naturally, they had to give them some assets to make a living. With their shrewdness, they could live a prosperous life.

Feng Ziying tried hard to be a scumbag or even an unscrupulous man in modern times, but in this era he was an outstanding man with deep love and loyalty, a woman like Yuanyang, Hongyu, and Siqi, whose innocent daughter was given to her. If you can't give others a good reputation, and you can't respect their parents and family like in modern society, then it's easy to provide some financial support and compensation, which can make your personality more glorious and decent.

“Don’t worry, uncle, you can leave these matters to your nephew, and he will definitely be able to help you choose the right one.”

Jia Qiang's face was full of excitement. She had done a lot of things like this, and she naturally became Uncle Feng's confidant. It was unexpected that even people like Ni Er could become famous and become prominent figures in the city. Brother Yun also took advantage of the situation. , became a high-ranking figure in the city in one fell swoop, why couldn’t I?

When he arrived at Rongguo Mansion, the servants at the door saw Feng Ziying and all came to greet him.

Everyone knew about the relationship between Feng Ziying and the Jia family. When they saw him coming, they all speculated that Mr. Feng was going to buy the second Rongning mansion.

But a fan of Long Jinwei quietly walked to the side and whispered: "Master Feng, His Royal Highness King Shou also came in just now, and he also wanted to see the Rongguo Mansion..."

“Oh?” Feng Ziying was slightly surprised, “He is also interested in this house?”

"It's not clear, but I heard from people outside that it was brought here by a servant of the Jia family who was kicked out. It seems that his surname is Lai. He has been persuading His Highness Shou Wang. His Highness Shou Wang seems to be very interested. "

Fanzi's words suddenly made Feng Ziying realize that it was Lai Da's family. He didn't expect that this guy would come to bite the Jia family at this time, but he probably didn't expect to bite himself.

“The Shou Wang is inside now?” Feng Ziying pondered for a moment. He was not sure whether Zhang Chi really wanted to buy it, or was being nudged by Lai Da, or maybe Zhang Chi knew about his relationship with the Jia family, but wanted to get involved? But now that I have decided to buy it, do I have to give in just because the other party wants to buy it? That would be ridiculous.

"His Royal Highness King Shou has been in for a while, probably to take a look." Fanzi replied: "Anyone who is interested in buying can go in and take a look."

Feng Ziying nodded silently and said no more, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart. It was as if someone else had taken a look at something she had already booked. However, this didn't mean anything. There was no reason to say that others couldn't. I'm optimistic about it, but I'm getting more and more unhappy with the Lai family.

Since he is here, of course Feng Ziying will not leave. Accompanied by Jia Qiang, she and Ruixiang enter the Rongguo Mansion.

The Rongguo Mansion was deserted. The people who originally lived in the garden were either in jail or kicked out. No one had managed it for a month. There were dead branches and leaves, dusty cobwebs, and the snow left behind after the snow melted. The puddles of water stains were left uncleaned, and it looked extremely shabby and dilapidated. It had only been like this for a month. If it had been left alone for a while, it would be really difficult to buy it at a good price.

Feng Ziying was sighing in her heart. Even if she bought it now, she would have to renovate it. Once it loses popularity, the building will deteriorate at an alarming rate.

Turning around the Yimen, Feng Ziying headed east, heading straight for the Grand View Garden.
