Chapter 494 I'm Sorry

Zhao Ce saw his expression and probably guessed the reason why his smiling face froze for a moment.

It's snowing heavily across the capital now, and people can only enter and cannot leave.

In addition, many people who came to take part in the imperial examinations were in the capital at this time due to the National Examinations held the year after next.

Therefore, housing prices in Beijing at this time are definitely not cheap.

In addition, it is already past November and it is almost the Chinese New Year. Not to mention houses, even other things will not be cheap.

Manager Liu also advised: "It's been snowing for so long, and it's almost the New Year's Eve."

"If you want to buy a house during this period, there will probably be many people talking loudly."

Zhao Ce had no choice but to stay in a small inn with his young wife and children.

They left their hometown and would be unhappy just thinking about spending the New Year in a small room in an inn.

The wealthy Boss Zhao touched his bulging wallet and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, buy a bigger house with a better location."

“It took some time to put it away after I bought it, so my family and I can move in just in time for the New Year.”

Seeing that Zhao Ce had made up his mind, the two of them stopped trying to persuade him.

The manager of the dental shop flipped through the book and said, "Sir, the conditions you mentioned are indeed suitable for a house listed in our dental shop."

Zhao Ce said happily: "That's good."

The steward looked through it and said, "There is a nice big house in Nancheng, but it should be a little old depending on the year."

"Furthermore, there is a small house in Xiaoshun Hutong in Dongcheng. However, the owner is not here for the time being, and the transaction will have to wait until after the new year."

It will definitely not work after the new year. Zhao Ce said: "What about the one in Nancheng?"

When Butler Liu was at home, he heard from their master that their young master spoke highly of the newly conferred uncle.

Although this was just a third-grade foreign uncle, he had just spent time with Zhao Ce, and he had a pretty good impression of this young man.

Zhao Ce came here for the first time, so he must not be very familiar with their capital.

Butler Liu then explained eloquently: "Although the house on South Street is large, it is the residence of some people from the market, and there are few wealthy families."

Zhao Ce hesitated and said, "Are there any other suitable ones?"

After listening to Butler Liu's words, the steward of the dental shop said attentively: "Of course what Butler Liu said is right, but this house is a little different."

"The location of this house is just close to the Nancheng Military and Horse Command Post, and the security is pretty good."

After hearing this, Butler Liu nodded and said, "That's indeed not bad."

When Zhao Ce saw that Butler Liu had said the same thing, he immediately made the decision.

The person in charge asked someone to contact the owner of the house first, and then took Zhao Ce and others out.

After getting on Zhao Ce's carriage, he shivered and said, "It's really cold today."

After finishing speaking, he remembered that he seemed to have not yet inquired about the identity of the young man who bought the house, so he asked again: "This noble man, do you know which family you are from?"

Zhao Ce is well-dressed, tall and handsome, and he had the financial resources to buy a big house as soon as he came to the capital. He is definitely not an ordinary young master.

In addition, the steward of the Minister of War personally took Zhao Ce to Yahang.

Ce treated them all with great courtesy, and the steward thought that this was probably a young master who was trained by a wealthy family and was well-educated and knowledgeable about etiquette.

Their dental professionals have, like no other, first-class eyesight.

There is no noble person in the entire capital that they have not heard of.

Zhao Ce said: "I am from the south. I first came to the capital. I am the newly canonized Uncle Yongxi by the Holy Spirit."

"Uncle?"

The manager of the tooth shop was a little surprised and said: "It turns out to be my uncle."

This young man has not yet reached the crown, but he is already an uncle.

And he didn’t just inherit the title from his ancestors. He earned it through his own abilities?

However, the steward Liu next to him was actually sitting in the same carriage as the nobles of the imperial court?

This Uncle Yongxi, whom he did not know, must have something extraordinary to win the appreciation of the Minister of War.

Although the steward was sitting, he still saluted Zhao Ce.

"I didn't know my uncle's identity before. If I have been negligent in any way, please forgive me."

Although I have never heard of this person's name, it is definitely not an ordinary person who can be made an earl at such a young age.

Zhao Ce smiled and said: "The manager is worrying too much."

After that, I asked him some things about South Street.

The manager of this dental shop naturally knew everything and explained everything to Zhao Ce in detail.

Butler Liu was standing by, giving some advice from time to time.

The carriage soon arrived at South Street. When a few people got off the carriage, a blizzard hit them, giving everyone a chill.

The umbrella in Zhao Ce's hand could no longer hold up, and it tilted forward a lot before he could withstand the cold wind.

After this gust of wind, there was a sound of cursing coming from around the corner.

“Damn it, it’s snowing so hard to buy a house, I’ll freeze to death.”

"Master Qian, you can't say that. If you come to buy a house in such a heavy snow, you are definitely in a hurry. Maybe you can really sell your house today."

"Well, if you really take action, let's get some good wine and food tonight, and I'll take you to a drink!"

"Thank you Lord Qian!"

The people over there were talking, and soon they appeared in front of Zhao Ce and others.

Zhao Ce and others had already stood under the eaves at the door, looking at the people who appeared in front of them.

The person who came was wearing regular clothes and looked tall and strong.

It was such a cold day, and he was only wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket while shouting that he was cold.

The bulging muscles between his arms bulged under the thick cotton clothes, and he looked like a practicing practitioner.

Behind him was a man with mediocre looks and average build, who looked like his henchman at first glance.

At a glance, this man saw the manager of Yahang and the manager Liu next to him.

As for Zhao Ce, he didn't know him, so he automatically ignored him.

The rough face of the man who had been cursing just now suddenly turned into a smile.

"Isn't this Mr. Liu's housekeeper? You are the one who is coming to buy a house today?"

Butler Liu looked at this man and his face didn't look good.

He just stretched out his hand so as not to hit the smiling man. He said "hmm" in an unenthusiastic tone, and then looked like he didn't want to talk to him.

The manager of the tooth shop greeted him enthusiastically: "Qian Baihu, it's very windy and snowy outside, we'd better go inside and talk."

The man known as Qian Baihu nodded, took out the key from his pocket, and opened the door to his home.

"Everyone, please come in."

With that said, he took the lead in opening his legs and walked in.

Butler Liu snorted and whispered to Zhao Ce: "Uncle, I'm sorry."

"This is the Jin Yiwei of the imperial court. My master is the leader of the Qing Dynasty. If I enter the house of this Jin Yiwei, I am afraid it will be detrimental to my master's reputation."

As a civil servant, he and Jin Yiwei have always been incompatible.

While they were scolding these hawks and dogs of the imperial court, they were also afraid that one day they would wake up and the royal guards would come directly to their door.

Liu Daxia was an upright official, and his family's family background was extremely noble.

Of course, Butler Liu would not get involved with these Jin Yiwei casually.

Zhao Ce glanced at him and saw that he just said that he would not go in and did not stop him from buying a house, so he hesitated a little.

I am also a scholar from a poor family, will there be any problems with this?

Butler Liu seemed to see what he was worried about: "Uncle, don't worry, you now have a title and are a noble of the imperial court."
