The whole village is fleeing famine, fortunately I have a concubine system

The plaque has a deep red hue.

The two words "Wang's House" were carefully carved by craftsmen.

Every stroke is clearly visible after being carefully polished.

A layer of brilliant gold powder is evenly sprinkled on the surface.

It makes the entire plaque more gorgeous and solemn.

At this moment, the sun is setting and the afterglow falls on the plaque.

The golden powder sparkles with dazzling light.

It is as if the word "Wang's House" was covered with a layer of gold, emitting an intoxicating glow.

"Oh my god, I never thought that our Wang family could be called Wang's House.

Chengzi, you have really made great progress. "

Old Wang looked at the glittering and imposing plaque.

Only then did I feel that the Wang family was really different now than before - the Wang family had really changed its destiny this time.

When Wang Chengzi heard what Old Wang said, he nodded firmly.

After going through untold hardships, he finally got what he wanted.

The road to success and fame is extremely difficult unless one is gifted.

The ten years of hard study and dedication are by no means empty talk.

Only now did Wang Chengzi see the light of dawn, and finally brought some tangible rewards to his family.

But at this moment Wang Chengzi did not feel satisfied.

With some anticipation and excitement, he led everyone into the mansion.

As soon as you enter the door, what catches your eye is the magnificent mansion.

This mansion is slightly different from Fengcheng in that it uses large areas of snow-white walls as the basic color tone.

The roof is covered with densely packed black and gray tiles, and the blue-gray terrazzo brick door and window frames make it look more simple and elegant.

Chestnut or dark grey wooden beams decorate the space, creating a tranquil and deep atmosphere.

It makes people feel as if they are in a fresh and elegant ink painting.

It is particularly worth mentioning that the four corners of the house adopt a raised design.

The whole building is made more agile and graceful, just like a bird flapping its wings about to take off, leaving a deep impression on people.

This unique style not only demonstrates the owner's elegant taste, but also reveals an extraordinary temperament.

However, the only drawback is that there are not many plants and flowers in the garden, and it looks a bit dilapidated and withered.

Old Mrs. Wang never dreamed that she would be so old.

I can actually live in such a spacious and magnificent house.

Just today, she and Old Wang were amazed by the magnificent government building.

He also lamented the huge amount of money needed to build such a mansion.

However, what was unexpected was that it happened within a single day.

Wang Chengzi then told the two elders that they now had their own mansion!

Old Mrs. Wang thought to herself: The government residence was built with funds from the imperial court.

But such a unique and elegant private courtyard could not have been granted by the imperial court.

She had never heard that the imperial court would allocate houses to county magistrates.

Even Magistrate Li of Fengcheng didn't have one.

The reason they have so much silver is that the county magistrate's wife's family is a famous merchant.

The dowry given to the county magistrate’s wife included many land deeds and shops.

Only County Magistrate Li can live in such a nice house.

Looking at such a luxurious and exquisite garden, Old Lady Wang knew that it must have cost a lot of money.

Wang Chengzi had just started his official career, less than a month to be exact.

It is difficult to accumulate such a huge amount of wealth to purchase real estate.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Wang stared at Wang Chengzi with suspicion and asked in a trembling voice:

"Chengzi, where did you get so much money to buy a house?

You just took office and you're already engaging in corruption and abuse of power! "

Upon hearing this, Wang Chengzi hurriedly waved his hands, smiled bitterly, and looked at his mother helplessly.

"Mom, how could you think of me like this?

Am I that kind of unbearable person?

I did buy this house."

Old Mrs. Wang still had doubts, after all, the money that Wang Chengzi took with him when he left home was given to him by her personally.

Old Mrs. Wang naturally has an idea of ​​how much was given.

Although the silver given was enough to satisfy Wang Chengzi's food, clothing, housing and transportation, there was still some surplus.

However, based on that insignificant amount of silver, Old Lady Wang knew very well.

It would be impossible to buy such a mansion in any case.

Wang Chengzi's heart tightened when he saw that Old Lady Wang seemed to be starting to have wild thoughts again.

I was worried that Old Lady Wang would scare me because of excessive worry.

So he didn't keep her in suspense and directly explained to her the origin of the money.

“When I first took office, I tried a case with Governor Chu.

It was the former county magistrate who was corrupt and committed many illegal acts and was arrested.

This house belonged to him, but was later confiscated.”

Before Old Lady Wang could say anything, Old Wang lost his temper after hearing what she said.

"Don't lie to us, if it's confiscated, it will belong to the court.

Even if you are the county magistrate, you can't just put your name on the house!"

Wang Chengzi touched his nose awkwardly.

Although this house was not bought through corruption, he still felt embarrassed to speak up.

However, Wang Chengzi still told how this house came about.

“Well, when I went to Beijing.

Xing'er and Guaibao each gave me some money.

I used that money to buy the house."

Old Lady Wang knew that Xiaomi had many secret treasuries, in addition to the one hundred taels of gold that Li Xi had given her at the time.

Later, the little fat boy Yan Hui came to thank Xiaomi for saving his life.

He also gave extra money as a thank you.

Later, Shen Shiqing sent over a full box of gold.

Only after knowing that Wang Chengzi had not done anything against the law did Old Lady Wang calm down again.

He asked Wang Chengzi: "So you used Guaibao's money to buy this house?

What are you going to do next time?"

Wang Chengzi bought the house himself, so he naturally knew the price.

At this price, Wang Chengzi’s salary might not be enough to pay it back for many years.

However, Wang Chengzi had a backup plan.

The name of the house on the title deed was directly written in Xiaomi’s name.

After hearing what Old Lady Wang said, he quickly took out the house deed that he had prepared as a show of loyalty.

Handed it to Old Lady Wang.

"Don't worry, mom. I wrote Guaibao's name directly on the title deed of this house.

When my little girl gets married, this will be her dowry.

Don't worry, we won't move."

Old Mrs. Wang looked at the name on the title deed and confirmed that it was Wang Junruo.

Then he picked it up like a treasure and held it in his arms.

He also bowed his head to explain to Xiaomi:

"This title deed is too thin, I'm afraid you might tear it.

Tomorrow I'll go out and buy you a small box to put it in.

Then I’ll give it to you!”

Xiaomi naturally knew how Old Lady Wang felt about her, so she simply nodded.

A look of trust.

"So how much money did this house cost?"

Old Wang asked Wang Chengzi curiously.

"Not more, not less, exactly five hundred taels." Wang Chengzi stretched out five fingers and compared.
