Chapter 48 The Sun House Next Door
After leaving the palace, Pei Min rode Xiaolimao leisurely to Pei's mansion.
When I passed by Sun's mansion, I suddenly saw a group of agile and strong men carrying large boxes of small boxes of cargo boxes out of the mansion and put them on the car.
Sun Mansion is one of Pei Min’s neighbors!
There are only three houses on the entire long street where Pei Mansion is located, one is Yuzhenguan, one is Pei Mansion, and the other is Sun Mansion.
Pei's mansion is in the middle, while Yuzhen Temple is in the left and Sun's mansion is in the right.
In terms of area, Yuzhen Temple should be the first, Pei Mansion second, and Sun Mansion third.
But the third person in Sun's Mansion is a bit miserable.
In fact, when planning Chang'an City in the early years, Fuxingfang was surrounded by the Imperial City Anfu Gate in the east, and Kaiyuan Gate in the west, and to the south, it was the largest and most prosperous market in the world... Chang'an West City. Carriages and horses were actually a prosperous meeting.
Fuxingfang is therefore defined as a Fengshui treasure land, and is planned to be a prosperous and important place where high-ranking officials and nobles live.
The long street where Pei Mansion is located has also been planned to be five houses of the same size.
But later Princess Taiping owned the Xue Mansion, the predecessor of Pei Mansion. Princess Taiping disliked the Xue Mansion too small, and Xue Shao also felt that it was too small and complained that it could not even be built in a martial arts field.
How domineering and powerful is this Princess Taiping? She was almost the second Wu Zetian. She went directly to the Sun Mansion and Xu Mansion next door. At that time, Yu Zhen Temple had not been established yet, and she overbearedly occupied one-third of the area of the Sun Mansion and Xu Mansion.
Forced the Sun Mansion and the Xu Mansion to transform from a luxurious square mansion into a rectangular strange mansion, which directly doubled the area of the Xue Mansion.
Later, Ruizong Li Dan built Yuzhen Temple for his beloved daughter, and confiscated two and a half houses west of Xue Mansion to build a magnificent Yuzhen Temple.
The five houses on the street have turned into a Taoist temple, a vast luxury house and a rectangular and inconsistent Chinese house.
Because of Princess Taiping's "generosity", the Xue Mansion became Pei Mansion, and Pei Min also became neighbors with Princess Yuzhen and the people from the Sun Mansion.
The Sun Mansion was famous in the early Tang Dynasty. His master was Sun Fujia, the first top scholar in Chinese history, and he was also very talented. He was a figure like Wei Zheng. He did not ask for power or the people for his appointment. He was highly valued by Li Yuan and Li Shimin. His mansion was specially presented to him by Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan.
However, Sun Fujia's descendants did not have any outstanding figures. With the shade of his ancestors, they were mingled in the officialdom, so they did not dare to say anything even if they occupied Princess Taiping's house.
Pei Min has moved into Pei Mansion for many years and has heard about the past.
Although Pei Min sympathized with the experience of the Sun family, he was not a saint and planned to return the land that Princess Taiping occupied Sun's mansion.
Because once it is returned, the Pei Mansion will become a rectangular shape, and it will require a large-scale re-planning and layout.
Pei Min is reluctant to do this kind of practice of swelling his face and acting as a saint.
When I pass by, and occasionally encounter friendship between neighbors, Pei Min will say hello and say hello.
The two are not the same type of people, and they have not had in-depth relationships, so they can only be regarded as nodding friends.
However, since Pei's mother moved in, Pei's mother was bored at home alone. She would go to Yuzhen Temple to worship the Grand Hisang from time to time, and had contact with the hostess of the Sun Mansion and her relationship improved.
Pei Min remembers that in his correspondence with Pei's mother, he also said that the third son of the Sun family had been a second-class Jinshi this year. The Sun family was so happy that they almost thanked all the Buddhist temples of all sizes in Chang'an. They also went to Pei's mansion to give gifts to thank him, saying that his son's success today was due to the glory of Pei Min, the civil and military star.
Pei Min could understand the joy of the Sun family, but this benefit made him laugh and cry at that time.
Seeing that Sun's mansion was showing signs of moving, Pei Min couldn't help but pause outside the mansion for a while.
Seeing a friendly and kind middle-aged man coming out, Pei Min whispered loudly: "Brother Sun, are you going to move?" He turned over and dismounted.
The middle-aged man named Sun Yi, a very ordinary name, and a very ordinary person. He was a little honest. He walked up quickly and said, "Duke back to the country, yes, I'm going to move to Chenzhou. The country's Duke doesn't know yet. The son passed the re-examination of the Ministry of Personnel a few days ago and has been transferred to Wanqiu County for inspection. I will take office soon. My husband and I thought that the sons would be successful and decided to settle in Wanqiu."
Seeing Sun Yi laughing, Pei Min said, "Congratulations! The inspection is a good position. Don't look at the small official rank and have a lot of things to do, which is the best to temper people. The man is suitable for this kind of position to temper people when he first enters the officialdom. If he polishes his own abilities, he will be of great benefit to the future. He will tell me that when he first enters the officialdom, he will talk less, learn more, do more, learn skills, and do not offend others. If he overcomes the first hurdle, the next road will be easier."
Sun Yi bowed gratefully and said, "I will definitely pass the golden and jade-like words to the dog son to know."
After glanced at Sun's Mansion, Pei Min said, "Why are you planning to sell this mansion?"
Sun Yi showed embarrassment and said, "This is an idea, but it's not easy to sell."
Pei Min thought it was right. Those who could buy houses in Fuxingfang were either rich or noble, either dignitaries or royal relatives. Ordinary merchants did not have the qualifications to buy houses in Fuxingfang. However, as long as people with a certain status would not buy such extremely irregular long houses.
Sun Yi looked at Pei Min in front of him and said, "By the way, Duke, you might as well buy this house. Look, as long as you open up the two walls separated by the middle, the Pei Mansion will be as large as Yuzhen Temple."
"What should I do that big?" Pei Min shook his head. He looked at the Pei Mansion and then looked at the Sun Mansion. He suddenly felt that it was not impossible to buy it. As long as he ceded some locations from the Pei Mansion and re-planned the Sun Mansion to rest, it would be a new luxury house. There would definitely be countless people who were willing to buy it.
Calculated based on the housing prices in Fuxingfang, you can earn at least ten times the difference.
"Send it first!" Pei Min smiled and said, "If I really can't sell it, I'll want this house."
Sun Yi smiled honestly and said, "Since the Duke of the State has said that, I will turn around and make a word with the Ministry of Works. As long as the Duke of the State wants it, I will buy it at a price of 70%.
Pei Min passed by Sun Yi, walked to the Pei Mansion next door, and returned to Pei Mansion.
The Pei Mansion is as peaceful as ever.
Gongsun You and Jiao Chen talked about the dance together. Gongsun Xi was greatly inspired by the battle he had with the butcher Liu Guangye before. It was rare that he did not make him bored, but hid in the sword pavilion and realized it.
With her talent in swordsmanship, I believe that after Tongche, swordsmanship will definitely go further.
Yuan Luqian was reading the book enthusiastically in the study.
Pei Min originally wanted to go to the study to find Yuan Luqian, but heard the butler Ning Ze say, "Young Master, my wife asks you to come back and check in the back room. Miss Gongsun You seems to have something to discuss with you."
Pei Min didn't hesitate and walked to the backyard.
The elegant music came, and the beautiful woman danced with her long sleeves, and the sword shadows were hiding.
