"The southeast is beautiful, the three Wushu metropolises, and Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke and willows painted bridges, wind curtains and green curtains, and the disparate 100,000 families."

This poem by Liu Yong vividly describes the prosperous scenery of Hangzhou in the Northern Song Dynasty and becomes synonymous with the prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Yang Fan had no feelings at all before. As his situation in the Northern Song Dynasty gradually improved, he had the heart and mood to enjoy the prosperous scenery of Hangzhou.

The streets are wide, and the roads are covered with traffic, with houses on both sides lined up, and the buildings are mixed with roads. Various wineries, tea halls, gambling workshops, and theaters compete for beauty, attracting bustling crowds of all kinds to go back and forth, noisy and lively.

Yang Fan came out to find a house, but he was not familiar with the place, but he was dressed well and found a teahouse. He gave him dozens of copper coins. He had a servant who ran the hall to listen to him.

In ancient times, the term "Funny Furniture" was used to describe the rich.

However, in the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many wealthy people gathered, and countless people were 100,000 and millions of dollars in private. They enclosed a large number of land and were also a port for market trade. Merchants from all over the country set up shop here, which made the land in Hangzhou, which was not too large, extremely tight and the housing prices remained high.

The 24,000 guan of money in Yang Fan's hands is enough to buy a four-entry and four super-large mansion in other towns, but in this Hangzhou city, he can only buy a small mansion that comes in and out, and he has to ask someone to find a relationship to complete it.

Fortunately, Yang Fan was lucky. The waiter had a relative who was about to leave Hangzhou. There was a small house that was in and out for sale. It was not far from Su Mansion, which was just in line with Yang Fan's requirements.

Under the guidance of the waiter, Yang Fan came to the east bridge in the west of the city and found the small house and the owner.

The owner of the house is an old couple in their fifties. They are planning to sell their house and go to the countryside to spend hundreds of cents to buy a cheap house to live in. They save money to get married for their two sons.

The old couple was very good. They did not ask for a price all over the place, but took Yang Fan directly to the government to handle the procedures and transfer the deed at the normal market price in Hangzhou.

The Northern Song Dynasty was the only dynasty that imposed property taxes and transaction taxes on urban residents. Yang Fan did some calculations and bought this small house that entered and exited. In addition, the messy taxes such as property tax were exactly 24,000 guan.

Yang Fan immediately thought of what Su Tingting said to him, saying that he would pay him a year's salary in advance and let him buy a house to settle down first. As expected, he was careful and thoughtful.

In addition to living in peace of mind, Yang Fan bought a house, but was more about finding a safe place to hide his backpack, and he couldn't take it with him every day.

After everything was handed over, Yang Fan owned his first house in the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was in the bustling metropolis Hangzhou. This was a very good start for Yang Fan. At least he didn't have to be tired and lived like a dog to buy a house like before.

Yang Fan looked around, opened the stove, took out the iron pot, and found some square bricks to lay a partition inside. The stove was spaced in it, so the flame Tang sword was too long to put it in, so Yang Fan took it out alone, then compressed the backpack and put it in, and then buried the stove ash, pressed the iron pot again, carefully cleaned up all the traces around, and arranged them properly.

In ancient times, literati popularized swords, especially the Tang people who wore Tang swords as their highest honor, often lost their money for a Tang sword.

Yang Fan then hung the Fiery Tang Sword around his waist, and a sense of pride inexplicably rose in his heart. He suddenly felt that he was very good at fighting stars in the movie.

While closing the windows and locking the doors, Yang Fan specially left hair on the eaves of the doors and windows, and sprinkled some stove ash on the surrounding ground. If someone breaks in, footprints and hair on them will inevitably be left.

After finishing everything, it was already noon and Yang Fan was hungry, so he found a restaurant nearby and ordered a few good wines and dishes, preparing to celebrate his new home and live a new life.

Halfway through the meal, I suddenly heard a man next door talking loudly and mentioned the names of Yang Fan and Su Tingting.

Yang Fan frowned. Su Tingting was known as the number one beauty in Hangzhou and became a topic of discussion at the dinner table of men in Hangzhou. This is not uncommon. But Yang Fan was just a few people who knew his name.

Yang Fan was curious, put down the wine chopsticks, got up and came to the base of the wall, and listened quietly.

"Butler Huang, look at it. Cui Liu will definitely not be able to shake off the Su Mansion if he leaves me. Which of the guards has never received my favor? Yang Fan can't help but command them!"

"That's it! Cui Ban Tou is also a well-known figure in our Hangzhou. Who doesn't sell you face? Come on, I'll give you another cup!"

It turned out that it was Huang Quan, the butler of the Su Mansion, and Cui Liu, the head of the nursing home. Yang Fan thought it was a coincidence. He heard that Cui Liu was going to stumbling on him, so he continued to listen.

Cui Liufa complained: "Butler Huang, come and judge! Yang Fan just swept the floor, and Su Tingting actually gave him two thousand guan a month. I worked so hard for a year but only more than two thousand guan a year. It's really unreasonable!"

"I also think it's too much!" Huang Quan left and said, "As the butler of the Su family, I only received 3,000 guan a year. Just an unknown person, Yang Fan, can get 2,000 guan a month by sweeping the floor. It's really unreasonable! But what can that happen? The Su family is rich, with a family property of several million, and you can earn more by traveling to the sea. People like us are just dogs of the Su family. If the owner is happy, give more. If he is unhappy, he will sweep the floor and go out!"

Huang Quan's words touched Cui Liu's pain. Didn't he just get swept out of the house?

He snorted coldly and said, "If it weren't for the relapse of the old disease today, those boys Yang Fan would not be my opponent! However, she actually asked that boy Yang Fan to replace me. Could it be that he fell in love with that boy? Otherwise, how could it be so outrageous?"

At this time, Huang Quan said again: "That kid has no ability and is not as powerful as Cuiban. How could the lady fall in love with him?"

No matter how stupid Cui Liu was, he understood when he heard this, and immediately cursed: "I knew that Su Tingting, a dead woman, had long disliked me. Yang Fan must have arranged to deal with me on purpose. Today, she happened to give her the opportunity to fire me!"

Hearing this, Yang Fan frowned. Huang Quan seemed to have no good intentions. He did not tell Cui Liu the facts. It was obviously annoyed the other party on purpose. What was the purpose?

Yang Fan guessed, could this Huang Quan want to use Cui Liuzhi's hand to deal with him?

Yang Fan was puzzled. He seemed to have never offended Huang Quan.

At this time, Huang Quan's voice came again, and he heard him say, "Cui Ban's head is careful! The lady is waiting to be in the boudoir, but she is still a big girl in yellow. How can she call her mother? If it is heard in the lady's ears, you know her power, and moving her mouth will make the young men in Hangzhou fight for you!"

"Butler Huang, I'm really not afraid of the Su family!" Cui Liu was obviously agitated by Huang Quan, and he said arrogantly: "Didn't Su Tingting just rely on her beautiful face to gain fame? I, Cui Liu, used to be a traitor, and I would die with her if I get angry. Anyway, a fairy beauty like Su Tingting, it would be worth it even if I let me die immediately, let alone her alone!"

Huang Quan frowned and said unhappily: "You'd better not talk nonsense! If it spreads, the men in the entire Hangzhou City will probably lose you!"

Cui Liu suddenly sneered: "I'm afraid Butler Huang wants to break Cui's penis?"

Huang Quan asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Cui Liu snorted coldly and said, "Others don't know, Cui Liu doesn't know yet? Butler Huang pretends to be a slutty person on weekdays, and he looks at Su Tingting secretly and wishes he can swallow her alive, right?"

Huang Quan immediately denied: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Cui Liuyi said with contempt: "Stop pretending! They are all men, don't be so nervous! However, if Butler Huang really has an idea, Cui is willing to help!"

Huang Quan continued to argue: "What do you mean? How could I have that kind of idea?"

Cui Liu was a little impatient and shouted coldly: "Just pretend! I, Cui Liu, are not a fool. You, Huang Quan, never interact with me. Today, I came to hold a banquet for entertainment after being in trouble. Others don't understand you. I, Cui Liu, have been with you for more than ten years. I know everything you think more than anyone else!"

Huang Quan was silent and laughed a little after a long time, as if he had known Cui Liu for the first time. He said in surprise: "The geese were blinded by the geese all day long! I didn't expect that Cui Liu was hiding very deeply!"

"Each of each other! Now Butler Huang can reveal his plan! Don't worry, I'm not greedy! If you eat meat, I'll just drink soup!" Cui Liuyi looked very proud and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

When Yang Fan heard the key, the waiter suddenly pushed the door and came in.

"Customer, you have served all the dishes you ordered. What else do you have to give?"

As soon as the waiter entered the door, he ran into Yang Fan and looked at him in surprise.

At this time, the next door also heard the guy's voice and immediately became quiet.

Yang Fanxin screamed, and immediately took out a piece of broken silver and stuffed it into the hand of the runner. At the same time, he grabbed the Tang knife on the stool, half-sheathed it and pressed it against his neck, threatening: "Remember, don't tell anyone about my appearance. You haven't seen anything, otherwise you'll be careful of your life!"

After saying that, Yang Fan threw down another piece of silver to pay the bill and hurriedly left through the back door.

As soon as he left, Huang Quan and Cui Liu walked around the corridor and came here. Seeing that the person had left, they immediately questioned the waiter.

The waiter remembered that Yang Fan was carrying weapons and thought he was a swordsman walking around the world, so he dared not speak nonsense. He immediately bent and made up his appearance and escaped.

Huang Quan and Cui Liu chased after him urgently, but Yang Fan had already disappeared into the vast sea of ​​people. The two of them had no way to find out. They couldn't help but look at each other, both frowned and their faces were gloomy.
