Zhang Fei reminded Chen Maoqian that he was just worried about attracting the intervention of the imperial court and causing unnecessary trouble. He was really not afraid of inflating housing prices and affecting the country. In the case of the Northern Song Dynasty, housing prices were really inflated.

It won’t bother the people.

Because the common people simply cannot afford it.

Those who clamor for six pockets, please buy it and cherish it.

......

Not surprisingly, even a deal was not completed today.

Zero income.

And some money for tea.

The reason is very simple, because this is a place to borrow money, not a place to buy a house.

But it doesn't matter. The traffic visible to the naked eye and the special identities of these customers are enough to impress Fan Yong and others to join the business.

In the evening.

The Ma's Pawn Shop, which had been bustling for a day, finally became quiet.

"Fourth brother!"

Ma Tianhao had just seen off the last batch of distinguished guests when he suddenly heard someone shouting. He couldn't help but look up and saw a middle-aged man of medium build and a shoehorn face walking over quickly.

He couldn't help but frown.

The middle-aged man came to Ma Tianhao, cupped his hands and said: "Fourth brother, congratulations, congratulations."

Ma Tianhao hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Thank you! Thank you so much!"

The middle-aged man said again: "I'm really sorry. Fourth brother, you are so forgetful. Maybe you forgot to send me a post. I've been so busy these days that I couldn't pay attention. I learned about it from the mouth of my shop assistant.

This matter comes too late, I hope you can forgive me."

"What the hell, this is my negligence."

Ma Tianhao turned sideways and said, "Please come in from outside."

"Thank you."

This middle-aged man is Fan Li, one of the eight tea-eaters.

Arriving at the hall, after the servants had prepared refreshments, Ma Tianhao ordered the servants to retire and said to Fan Li: "Brother Fan, I just have something to talk to you about."

Fan Li thumped, something is not good!

The Fan family has been helping the Ma family deal with contracts and disputes. The relationship between the two families has always been good, but this time the Ma family made such a big noise, but did not send him a message. Fan Li waited for a day, but the message never came, and finally

I couldn't help it, so I rushed over in person.

The Ma family was originally a big customer, but now that they are doing this, one can imagine how much profit it contains. This big customer cannot afford to lose it!

"I wonder if Fourth Brother has anything to offer me?"

“I don’t dare to take advice seriously.”

Ma Tianhao coughed and said, "The thing is, the cooperation between us may be reduced in the future."

I'm really afraid of what will happen. Fan Li immediately said: "But because of Zhang San's current situation, Fourth Brother should know very well that the government will not buy his fault."

"No, no, it has nothing to do with him."

Ma Tianhao shook his head repeatedly, thinking to himself, it sounds like I can afford to hire him.

He only dared to ask Zhang Fei to draw up some major contracts, but he didn't dare to ask Zhang Fei for trivial contracts. This was really a waste of money.

Fan Li asked again: "Why is that?"

Ma Tianhao said: "The main reason is that I have recently cooperated with Baifanlou and may hand it over to Li Xingshou. As you know, Baifanlou has been looking for their old Li family."

Fan Li seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, but he still maintained the demeanor of a tea-eater, squeezed out a smile to express his understanding, and then left.

Looking at Fan Li who was in despair, Ma Tianhao felt quite uncomfortable and sighed: "Don't blame me, why did Zhang Yide die at the hands of one of you named Fan?"

......

Zhang Fei also left in the evening. Although he did not entertain the officials, he was worried that the Ma family could not explain clearly and there would be misunderstandings, so he kept a close eye on them.

By the time he returned to Xu Mansion, Xu Zun had already sent him home and was chatting with Xu Zhiqian.

"It seems business is good there!"

"Did your benefactor also hear about it?" Zhang Fei asked.

Xu Zun chuckled and said, "Don't you need to hear that half of the people in the imperial city are missing today?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "My benefactor was joking, but many officials did go there to inquire."

Xu Zundao: "I usually don't see it, and I never thought that so many people want to buy a house."

Zhang Fei asked: "I wonder if I have any ideas?"

"You want me to buy a house?" Xu Zun was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought about it.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "A gentleman loves money and gets it wisely. Using my benefactor's salary to buy this house will not cause a big burden, and the housing prices in Bianjing will definitely rise. If this happens,

If you don’t buy it, when Dalang wants to buy a house, I’m afraid he won’t be able to afford it.”

The big man he refers to is Xu Zhiqian's brother.

Xu Zun sighed and waved his hands repeatedly: "I can't afford it!"

Zhang Fei said in surprise: "With the salary from the benefactor, I shouldn't be able to afford it!"

Xu Zun smiled bitterly and said, "You spend a lot of money!"

"Ah?"

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zun in surprise, "Only your three meals a day and these two pieces of cloth, how much can you spend! After saving for so long, it shouldn't be a problem to buy it in full!

Xu Zun sighed and said nothing.

Xu Zhiqian said: "My father often spends his own money to help the people. I...I also spent a lot. There is no spare money at home."

As she talked about the latter part, her cheeks felt dizzy and her voice sounded like a mosquito moaning.

The father and daughter didn't have any hobbies of spending money, and their food and clothing were relatively ordinary. The money was used to help people like Li Si. Didn't Xu Zun also use the money to support Zhang Fei himself?
p>

Now that Xu Dalang is mentioned, both father and daughter feel extremely ashamed.

I really didn’t leave any money for Dalang!

Zhang Fei also realized that he had a deep understanding of this. The two fathers and daughters were indeed philanthropic. Seeing that Xu Zhiqian was ashamed and speechless, he thought, "It doesn't matter! Madam Xu will be able to save money soon."

”

Xu Zhiqian asked in astonishment: "Where will I get the money?"

Zhang Fei said: "The money from the last contract has not been divided yet, and now I am negotiating a contract transaction of several hundred guan. If nothing else happens, you can at least get 300 or 400 guan."

He just negotiated so many orders, this gunman can't let go.

"So many?" Xu Zun said in shock.

Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "It's okay, it's not much."

Xu Zhiqian didn't care, she was already used to it, and thought, yes, I have to work hard to make up for this money for my brother.

......

When Mrs. Wang returned home, she felt very uneasy. She knew her cousin's character very well, so she cooked three exquisite dishes herself in the evening.

However, for Wang Anshi, no matter how delicious the food is, it cannot compare with the fragrance of books.

The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade.

He didn't notice it at all and continued reading and eating as usual.

Mrs. Wang was a little disappointed, but she was used to it and spoke in a low voice.

"Cousin, today I went to Ma's pawn shop."

"Yeah."

"I asked about it, and the interest rate on the mortgage is reasonable. I don't need to pay much every month."

"Hmm. Okay."

"Do you still remember that I had my eye on a small house before?"

"Remember! Remember!"

"I think we will go home to retire in the future, and the children may have to stay in the capital. If there is a house, they will not have a fixed place to live, and the two of us can enjoy peace of mind and happiness."

"Yes, yes."

"I was thinking, why don't we buy that house? I've calculated that the money we have saved now is enough to pay the down payment."

"Yeah, yeah."
