Chapter 201: Hurry to Nanjing (Part 2)
"Who is knocking outside?" After Xu Changqing knocked on the ring on the door for a while, someone behind the door shouted impatiently, then the slightly old door opened, a sleepy head stuck out, looked up and down, and asked in confusion: "Who are you? Is there anything wrong?"
Xu Changqing smiled and hugged her fists, asking, "I'm here Xu Changqing, is this house ready for sale?"
After the Shen family left, the servant was still quite regular and maintained the Shen house very well. However, as time passed, no news came from Europe, and the servant gradually had other ideas. Some antiques in the Shen house that were not easy to take away were taken out for pawning, and they started to take them quietly one by one. As the family's expenses increased, and no one asked them, they naturally thought that the Shen family's things were theirs. So they pawned all the things in the Shen house in exchange for a large amount of money that provided them with extravagant expenses.
However, no matter how much money they have, they are not enough for them to use. Now their family is in trouble again, but there is nothing else to pawn in the Shen house except this one, so they announced to the public that they would sell the Shen house. Unfortunately, the world is in a recession, and no one in Nanjing's businessmen would be willing to pay a lot of money to buy the house, so the family could only tighten their belts and live.
Now that he heard someone wanted to buy this house, the person who opened the door suddenly changed his expression and immediately changed to a flattering smile, and opened the door completely. While greeting Xu Changqing, he introduced the house. In his words, it seemed that the Shen House had become a Feng Shui treasure land with no place in the sky and underground. Even the imperial palace in the capital was not as good as Xu Changqing's eyes. However, in Xu Changqing's eyes, it was impossible to see where the house was better than the dilapidated surrounding him.
After the group walked to the main hall, the family members who received the news gathered here, skillfully pouring water and tea, and were very enthusiastic. When the parents of this family saw Xu Changqing, they couldn't help but frown, and a hint of doubt flashed across their faces, feeling that they looked familiar with Xu Changqing.
"I have seen the house, and I like it very much. Although the price is a little higher than I thought, that's nothing." Xu Changqing's face was calm, he took a sip of tea and said, "But I know the origin of your house. Although the Shen family has left and left the house for you to keep, you will sell this house privately, and it feels a bit disagreeable. Will it be troublesome to buy it?"
The old man from the family felt that there was a chance when he heard Xu Changqing's words, and hurriedly said: "Please rest assured that all the land deeds of the Shen family stayed before leaving, so there would be no trouble at all."
"Well! It's good that there is no trouble. I'm afraid of trouble." Xu Changqing took out a famous post from his sleeve and handed it to the person who opened the door just now, and said, "Please go to Wansheng Trading Company and hand it over to the manager of the Trading Company, so that he can come here with the money."
The family didn't expect the transaction to go so smoothly, so they quickly asked the man to go and go back quickly, and became more enthusiastic about Xu Changqing, feeling like they wanted to sell him even.
"I dare to ask, where is the person of sir?" Seeing that the business was completed, the old man seemed relaxed and chatted: "It's strange to say. When I saw sir for the first time, I felt that sir was a bit like Chen Yangming, the head of the Shen family, my former master, the Shen family."
Xu Changqing was excited inside, but his expression was still calm, and he said, "Do I look very similar to Shen Yangming?"
"Not like it! In terms of appearance, it doesn't look like it at all, but it just feels like that." The old man shook his head, looked at Xu Changqing carefully, and said, "When it comes to appearance, sir, I think of another person."
Xu Changqing frowned slightly and said, "Who is it?"
"Oh! It's a miserable woman who was harmed by Chen Yangming." The old man sighed, feeling that this topic was really inappropriate for the current occasion, and laughed dryly: "It's better not to mention the past!"
Xu Changqing naturally knew who the old man was talking about. He took a deep breath, suppressed the resentment in his heart, and tried to keep himself calm. He said, "The famous name of Chen Yangming, the richest man in Nanjing, has been heard of for a long time. I wonder if my father-in-law can take me to see his residence."
"Yes, of course." The old man said quickly.
The old man asked his family to scatter, went back to pack his luggage, moved out immediately after the house transaction was completed, and then led Xu Changqing to the backyard. After walking through a weedy garden porch, he came to an independent courtyard surrounded by bamboo forests. This courtyard reminded Xu Changqing that he couldn't help but remember his mother's residence. The old man took out a bunch of keys to open the gate of the courtyard, led Xu Changqing on the bamboo forest path, and came to the small building in the middle of the yard. After opening the door of the building, he led Xu Changqing in, and introduced: "This is Chen Yangming's residence, and everything is the same as when the Shen family left," then saw the empty room and explained: "It turns out that there are some antique vases here, but... hehe, I guess Mr. already knows."
"I'm a little tired and want to take a break here. Please leave for a while. When the people from Wansheng Trading Company come, call me again." Xu Changqing looked around, took a few deep breaths, and said with a slightly tired look on his face.
The old man hesitated for a moment. Thinking that the house would be the one in front of him, he had no scruples in his heart. He nodded and left the room. After that, Xu Changqing signaled the Huang brothers and sisters to leave and asked them to go out for a walk in the garden. Huangshan was a little confused about why Xu Changqing wanted to buy the house and was about to ask, but the careful Huang Juan felt Xu Changqing's strange emotions at the moment, and quickly stopped him and pulled Huangshan out of the room.
Xu Changqing's face turned ashen, and he sat quietly in the room, feeling the resentful murderous thoughts in his mind. He did not deliberately suppress this murderous thought, but instead let it grow everywhere. The true essence of his body was also affected by the murderous thoughts. The body of the inner demon hidden in the heart of Tao was also drawn out by this murderous thoughts, entangling him like a python. At the same time, the Samadhi True Fire also grew exponentially like a large handful of firewood. Without any mental drive, the Samadhi True Fire condensed in the three dantians were all introduced into the sea of consciousness, and all the firepower was concentrated to refine the Soul-Swinging Bell.
