Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 279 The Provincial Examination Begins

The size and location of a house determine the price of the house, which is universal in any era.

Jiying Lane, where the Sheng family is located, is located on the edge of the outer city and the inner city of Dongcheng. Apart from the inner city, it is one of the best areas in Bianjing.

It was only because Mr. Sheng had the foresight that he bought a house in Jiying Lane at a time when housing prices were far from as high as they are now.

Later, when the Sheng family fell into decline, they did not sell the house.

The Sheng family's house is now several times more expensive than when Mr. Sheng bought it.

Li An didn't know about his parents' argument. To be honest, he really didn't think much about it.

"Don't you see that Aniu doesn't want us to continue taking money from Yangzhou? He is afraid that Tieniu will feel uncomfortable and affect the relationship between the brothers." Li Nan said.

When she came to Bianjing, she was planning to buy Li An a bigger house in Bianjing, so she brought a lot of money with her.

This time in the past was considered the most deserted time in Bianjing.

"Your father and I brought 30,000 taels of silver when we came this time. You have also saved more than 30,000 taels over the years, and there is still more than 10,000 taels left. Your father and I want to sell this house, and then Buy that house," Mr. Liu said.

If the Zhang family felt that the couple was too partial to their youngest son, they would inevitably not say anything in front of Zhang Qing.

……

Indeed, the Li family is what it is today, all thanks to Li An.

These are basically most of the cash at home.

Fortunately, Li An lived up to his expectations, studied in Bianjing, and made so much money.

The house in Yangzhou originally cost less than ten thousand taels.

"Well, it's 75,000 taels. It took me and your father a long time to talk about this, and now they are refusing to let go." Mrs. Liu said.

By the late Northern Song Dynasty, the curfew basically existed in name only.

Because Texue's food was not bad and Li An gave him a bath every few days, his hair was dark and shiny and he was very energetic.

Tuxue is now more than half a year old, but because he is just a native dog, he is only half a meter tall now.

Can Zhang Qing not be affected if he hears it too much?

According to the location mentioned by Liu, in later generations it would be at the second and third rings of the capital, and it would still be the most prosperous area.

……

But today is different. People dressed as scholars can be seen everywhere on the street.

But as Li Nan said, what would Zhang Qing think?

Even if Zhang Qing is virtuous and understands, what about the in-laws?

Although Yangzhou is one of the important cities in the south of the Yangtze River, it is completely incomparable with Bianjing.

They have made a lot of money in Yangzhou over the years, but they have also bought some shops and properties, so they only brought 30,000 taels with them this time.

"Then let's do it, let's eat." Liu hesitated and said.

Mrs. Liu was afraid that Li An would think too much, so she explained: "Aniu, it's not that Mom is reluctant to give this house to Zhuzi and his son. What Mom wants is that the money is a little short now, so she should sell the house first, and then give it to your father when your father and I return to Yangzhou." Come over with some money and buy another one.”

The total family property is only fifty thousand taels.

Some are in small groups, while others are accompanied by family members.

As soon as Mr. Liu said it was not far from the Sheng family, and considering the size, Li An roughly calculated the price.

Although the interest rate in ancient times was high, as long as the time was short, it was not too outrageous.

But Li Ping has been running the business in Yangzhou these years.

It was slightly bright when Li An and the others went out. This was when the curfew in Bianjing had just been lifted.

In the early Northern Song Dynasty, there was a strict curfew system. By the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, the curfew system still existed, but it was relaxed a lot.

Li An thought that he would definitely buy another house when he got married, and then he could let Shi Lin and his son live in it as a temporary residence.

If the item is not redeemed within the time limit, it will be returned to the pawnshop, and the pawnshop has the right to dispose of it as it pleases.

After teasing for a while, Li An read a book for a while and then went to bed.

It is only the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the curfew still exists.

"In this case, we will lose a lot of money." Ms. Liu said distressedly.

Although he can continue to make money, Li Ping has no objection.

"This house in Bianjing is too expensive. It's not much bigger than our house in Yangzhou, but it's so much more expensive." Li Nan sighed.

"Oh, A Niu has been sensible since he was a child. It's really hard for him." Mrs. Liu sighed.

He had wanted to buy a house for Shi Lin before, but Shi Lin was determined not to.

Li An pondered for a while and said, "Mom, this house can't be sold, but it can be used as a pawn. This should be enough money."

However, she didn't expect that the house in Bianjing would be so expensive.

Pawns are similar to mortgages in later generations. The pawnshop will accept the items at 70% of the normal price and sign a contract.

After eating and chatting for a while, Li An went back to his room to take a shower.

I guess it won't grow much later.

Li An wanted to keep this house and give it to Shi Lin and his son.

According to her original plan, it must be enough.

Li Nan saw what Li An was planning and stopped Liu from continuing.

Early that morning, Li An put on the light blue robe made by Minglan and took a car with his parents to Gongyuan.

As soon as Li An left, Mrs. Liu said unhappily: "Do you know how much money is wasted on work? It's not like our family has no money?"

You can spend money to redeem it within the stipulated time.

However, this price will definitely be more expensive than the original one. As for how much more expensive it is, it depends on the time it is set.

"Dad, how can these be compared together?" Li An said with a wry smile.

If he really does what Mr. Liu said, Shilin will never want the house he buys again, and he won't be able to live in it.

She knew that Li An had bought a house in Bianjing, and she thought that by selling the house that Li An bought, plus the money she brought, it would be enough to buy a nice house.

Calculated, the difference is only more than ten thousand taels of silver. The teahouse will make it back in a few months.

I took a comfortable hot bath and played with Taxue for a while.

But when he saw that his wife was feeling sorry for Li An's sensibleness, he was smart enough not to say anything.

However, when she proposed to sell the house before, Li An did not agree.

"How dare Tieniu! Our family is what it is today thanks to Aniu." Liu glared.

"Tie Niu won't do it, but what about his wife? Even if his wife won't do it, what about her family?"

Li Nan opened his mouth. He wanted to say that Li An was very naughty when he was young, but somehow he suddenly became aware of it a few years ago, as if he had grown up in an instant.

"Okay, just do as A Niu says."

Mrs. Liu was silenced by Li Nan's series of rhetorical questions.

Mrs. Liu thought about buying the house first, and when they returned to Yangzhou, they could sell some properties and collect enough money to send it over and buy a house for Shi Lin and his son.

The night market can last until the early hours of the morning and is not an all-nighter as many people think.

It’s nothing more than spending more money.

Many people think that there was no curfew in the Song Dynasty, but this was not the case.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the provincial examination.

Of course, the premise is to find those with guaranteed credibility.

"Mom, it's fine. As long as you redeem it as soon as possible, it won't cost much." Li An said nonchalantly.

He just felt that the ancients valued their fields very much, and Liu would definitely feel uncomfortable if he sold the fields he had purchased over the years.

When she was affected, she would naturally go to Li Ping to complain.

This time when they came, they had brought basically all the money they had at home. If they spent another ten or twenty thousand taels to buy a house for the Shi family and his son, they would have spent all their accumulation over the years.

There were still scattered people in the outer city, but when they entered the inner city, the crowds gathered together, making it very lively.

And these people all have a common destination - Gongyuan.
