In fact, Xu Jingzong's embarrassment was much more than that. Just after Yu Wen and the murder of Yang Guang, his father, Xu Shanxin, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of the Sui Dynasty, vowed not to follow the thief and was killed by Yu Wenji. Xu Jingzong escaped from Jiangdu for a lifetime and defected to Li Mi in Wagang. He was appointed as the record room by Li Mi. As a result, his position in the record room was not yet in the hot spot. Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong, and now he has only more than 20,000 defeated generals.

When Xu Jingzong saw that Li Mi's broken ship was about to sink, he fled from Liyang City to Chang'an and wanted to join Li Tang.

However, after Xu Jingzong came to Chang'an, he found that no one paid attention to him, whether it was his father's disciples or his relatives and friends in the past.

After all, it was not a long-term solution. Xu Jingzong decided to sell the old house that Yang Jian, the Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, gave to his father.

Xu Jingzong planned to use money to bribe Xu Shanxin's old friend, and he appeared in the Tang Dynasty's Central Secretariat Feng Deyi.

Chen Ying didn't know about Xu Jingzong's embarrassment, but he also knew that Xu Jingzong really made his fortune in the middle and late periods of Li Shimin. During the reign of Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi, Xu Jingzong's greatest achievement was to promote Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian became the only empress in history. It can be said that Xu Jingzong made an indelible contribution.

Chen Ying silently labeled Xu Jingzong as a "traitor" in his head. He must not make friends with people like Xu Jingzong with strong utilitarianism, otherwise he would count the money for him if he was sold.

Xu Jingzong kept staring at Chen Ying's eyes, but when he saw Chen Ying hear his name, he showed a hint of disgust. Although Chen Ying's concealment was excellent, he was still discovered by the careful Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong thought about it carefully in his mind and was sure that he would never know someone like Chen Ying. Why did he hate him? Has he offended him in the past?

Xu Jingzong was puzzled.

Could it be?

Xu Jingzong felt a big doubt in his heart. Could it be that his ugly appearance in Jiangdu was spread to Chang'an?

When Yu Wen and the killing of Yu Shiji, Yu Shinan knelt in front of Yu Wenji and died on behalf of Yu Shiji. The world spread the name of Yu Shinan's righteousness all over the world. At the same time, when Yu Wen and the killing of Xu Shanxin, Xu Jingzong actually danced and followed Yu Wenji and begged for mercy, making people hate him.

Chen Ying said: "I wonder how much Mr. Xu's house is worth?"

Xu Jingzong said: "This house and the mansion prompted four girls, two cooks, one mate, and one coachman, Ma Nu, a total discount of 1,300 jin!"

Chen Ying actually really liked such a house. In later generations, he was a poor loser. He worked hard for more than ten years and was still a proletariat. As the Tang Dynasty became more and more prosperous, the price would definitely be higher and higher. At this time, it would be the cheapest and most affordable one!

Chen Ying said: "I'm not sure about it, I don't have that much money in my hands."

Xu Jingzong's price was actually very fair, and it was already a low price. He had sent someone to inquire. It would take 1,000 guan to open up the Fengdeyi route, and 200 guan was required to make 1,200 guan. It would take half a month to hang this house in the tooth shop to buy it. Not to mention selling it, there was not even one asking for the price.

Of course, this is also related to Xu Jingzong's luck. With the defeat of King Qin Li Shimin of Qianshuiyuan and King Shichong of Luoyang forced Tongguan, the whole Chang'an was panicked. There were countless people who fled Chang'an with their families. At this moment, no one would buy a house. After finally meeting someone like Chen Ying who asked for the price, Xu Jingzong naturally did not want to miss it.

Xu Jingzong said: "When doing business, you pay attention to bidding prices everywhere and paying back the money. If this house can still be seen by Chen Langjun, please ask Chen Langjun to give a minimum price!"

Chen Ying pondered: "This house is actually just average. The business is not a good deal, and the price is 800 guan!"

Xu Jingzong's face froze.

He needs 1,200 guan to handle some tricks, and he still has a surplus of 180 guan. If he is cheaper, it is not impossible to sell this house to Chen Ying, but the price given by Chen Ying is really beyond his bottom line.

When Chen Ying saw Xu Jingzong's expression, he knew that the bargaining was too ruthless.

Sure enough, Xu Jingzong said: "I don't hide it from Chen Langjun. I need money urgently. I have to sell my ancestral home now. However, the price is too low..."

"That's a pity!"

Chen Ying led Ma Sanbao, Zhang Huaiwei and others to walk out of the door.

After walking more than ten steps, Chen Ying quietly turned around and found that Xu Jingzong had no intention of retaining him.

"Hold the grass!" Chen Ying cursed in his heart. Xu Jingzong really didn't play cards according to his long-term rules.

But Chen Ying really liked this house very much. Especially the four rough girls accompanied by Xu Jingzong, all of whom were fifteen or sixteen years old, and looked beautiful. Although they were not as beautiful as the world, they were at least considered a little beauty. If you could have these little girls serving them every day, Chen Ying would probably wake up in a dream.

Looking at Chen Yingyi's reluctant expression, Ma Sanbao said, "If Brother Chen really can't afford the money, you can borrow some from Princess Pingyang for a while and wait until it's convenient to pay it back. I think it's up to Brother Chen and Princess Pingyang to live a life-long relationship, Princess Pingyang will give you this face!"

Chen Ying said: "Let's talk about this later!"

Youdao means being unintentional, and listening to being intentional. When Xu Jingzong heard what Ma Sanbao said, "Chen Ying had a life-long friendship with Princess Pingyang", his face showed ecstasy. Although Feng Lun and Feng Deyi, the clan secretary, still had some connections in the Ministry of Personnel, even if he had a real position, he would only be a foreign official below the fourth rank. However, if he could really take advantage of Princess Pingyang, wouldn't it be better than bribing Feng Lun?

"etc……"

"Mr. Xu has any advice!"

"I dare not take the advice!" Xu Jingzong made a big turn of 180 degrees, and he smiled and said, "Since Chen Langjun is here, it's not too late to drink a cup of tea before leaving!"

"That's good!"

When Chen Ying heard this, he thought there was a door in his mind, but he didn't expect that Ma Sanbao accidentally said the four words "Princess Pingyang" were so valuable.

Xu Jingzong led Chen Ying and others along the corridor of the flower garden and towards the tea room.

When he entered the tea room, Chen Ying secretly praised him.

This tea room is about 100 square meters in area, and an antique copper stove is placed on the table in the center, which looks a bit old. Xu Jingzong said to Lan'er: "Lan'er prepares tea!"

"promise!"

Lan'er was slightly blessed and came out lightly like a butterfly. It didn't take long. Lan'er was holding a tray. There were two maids wearing green silk skirts behind Lan'er. They were actually a pair of twin sisters. The twin sisters like porcelain dolls made Chen Ying's eyes straight.

Seeing Chen Ying losing his composure, Xu Jingzong became proud.

Lan'er knelt in front of the table, looking solemn. The sisters picked up charcoal and put it in the stove of the small copper stove, then placed a copper pot on the copper stove. The other one slowly picked up the tea cake and put it in the copper pot.

Every move is an indescribable beauty.
