The once abnormally prosperous antiques industry, hanging goods industry, and pawnshops in the capital were inseparable from the contributions of these"filial sons and grandsons" of the Qing aristocrats.

When the ancestral property, such as antiques, calligraphy and paintings (among the items sold by the prince's descendants, very few books were sold, because some people were illiterate and did not read), etc., the only option was to sell the real estate.

Buying and selling the palace became a big deal in the capital.

What Shen Hao wants to buy is the properties held by Baylor.

However, Shen Hao couldn't afford a large palace.

Just like the famous Prince Gong's Mansion, He Shen's Mansion costs at least 200,000 yuan, which is a bargain price.

This is still a small amount.

The current owner of Prince Gong's Mansion is Pu Wei, and this guy has now gone to Qingdao to take refuge.

In order to let the little devil protect him.

Pu Wei almost bought all the facilities and appliances in Prince Gong's mansion at once, except for calligraphy and painting, and sold them all to the little devil.

At that time, at least 2,000 cultural relics were lost in Prince Gong’s Mansion.

It can be said that during the Republic of China, almost all royal palaces were sold except Prince Yong's Palace (Yonghe Palace).

Even the princess's mansion and the mansions of other princes and nobles were sold.

Among them, the largest acquirers are the Catholic and Christian churches in Western countries such as the United States and the United States.

They bought the buildings to open hospitals, schools, orphanages, relief homes, etc., but few priests, ministers or other clergy used them to live in or converted them into churches.

Shen Hao brought Fang Yanyun to Ruijun Prince's Mansion.

This residence is full of historical atmosphere. The entire palace is magnificent, with a back garden, corridors and attics, a quiet and ancient charm, and covers an area of ​​hundreds of acres, which is in line with Shen Hao's aesthetics.

The introducer said to Shen Hao:"Mr. Shen, this Prince Rui's Mansion is new.

There is also an old Prince Rui's Mansion in the Pudu Temple area south of Donghuamen Street. That was the residence of the first Prince Rui..

This is the new palace after the restoration of Prince Rui during the Qianlong period."

Looking at the layout of the palace, which was very large, Shen Hao nodded and said:"Not bad."

Shen Hao knew that the first generation of Prince Rui was not the regent. Wang Dorgon.

A famous taker in history.

Soon, a man with braids in a suit and leather shoes, holding a birdcage in his hand, said proudly:"Are you the one who will buy this house?"

Before Shen Hao could speak, the agent hurriedly introduced:"This is Dorbo Ten Grandson, the last Prince Rui Aixinjueluo Zhongquan"

"Don't talk nonsense, 20,000 yuan is in the ocean. If you have money, just hand it over. If you don't have money, you can play wherever you like, but I don't have time to play in the mud with you." Zhongquan said arrogantly;

Shen Hao ignored him and looked around. The palace is very satisfied. There are more than 80 houses. The price of 20,000 yuan is considered cheap.

It's not cheap. These days are full of wars and chaos. Many people are selling their houses and running away.

Shen Hao said:"Let's transfer the ownership."

Zhongquan then looked up to him. He glanced at Shen Hao.

These days, someone who can spend 20,000 yuan at a time is no ordinary person.

After the transfer, the agent explained to Shen Hao why Zhongquan wanted to sell the house.

The fall of the Qing Dynasty The title of Prince of the Qing Dynasty has become useless.

The manor of Prince Rui's Mansion in the Northeast and other places has also been forcibly disposed of by the Republic of China government and distributed to some local tenants and village heads. The annual income of tens of thousands of taels of silver is gone.

However, the Great The demise of the Qing Dynasty did not seem to give Prince Xiaorui any sense of crisis.

Zhongquan and his younger brother Zhongming, who were born with a golden key in their hands, have long been accustomed to spending money and enjoying a luxurious and exquisite life.

Zhongquan, who is in his 20s, has completely"let go".

Because the prince needs to be dignified. The Qing Dynasty is gone, but the prince's momentum cannot be lost.

Villas and cars must be available.

So they built villas and gardens in the western suburbs, and installed telephones in every room regardless of whether they were needed or not.

But the family's fixed His income has been cut off, so where can he find the money to build a villa and buy a car? Zhongquan doesn't care about this. He sells the valuables at home to build a villa with a western style!

Seeing that eating Western food is fresh and fashionable, Zhongquan spends a lot of money to hire European and American people. The chef cooked Western food for himself.

When he saw foreigners riding in cars or carriages, he stopped riding in the sedan carried by sixteen people. He bought two cars and eight more horses.

At this time, more than 100,000 yuan was squandered..

The Qing Dynasty has fallen, but the momentum and pomp of the Qing prince cannot be lost!

In Zhongquan's heart, the prince's face and enjoyment always come first.

In this way, the young prince, who is not good at management and not familiar with housework, enjoys his squandering And they are happy.

There is no income but huge expenses.

If you have no money, sell it! Sell! Sell!

Now I am selling my old house and continue to live a good life. I will not care about him in the future.

Going out to restaurants, visiting flower houses, and smoking cigarettes are the daily life of Belles..

In the past, Shen Hao thought these people were prodigals.

But after experiencing it, Shen Hao realized that these Lord Belles are really smart.

Times have changed. As nobles of the previous dynasty, without the protection of rights, wealth cannot be preserved at all. Rather than being unable to preserve it, it is better to spend a lot of money..

Otherwise, everything will be confiscated by then.

Some people have saved all their lives, and after being liberated, they became landlords and their property was divided.

Those prodigal sons who lost all their property, because they were too poor and had no money, became the proletarian class and had to It's ironic.

All the furniture in the palace was left by Shen Hao.

These are all made of golden nanmu.

As for antique calligraphy and paintings, Shen Hao doesn't understand. If you don't have the money, you can buy this with the spare money.

There are guns and cannons. Only words have power.

Antiques, calligraphy and paintings are not something you just want to have.

Even the servants of the palace have been dismissed, and all 100 of Shen Hao's dead soldiers have been put to use, and they are all stationed in the palace.

At this time, Fang Yanyun's head was also buzzing and she couldn't believe it.

Shen Hao really spent 20,000 yuan to buy her Baylor House, and the name of the house was still his Fang Yanyun's name. Her inner emotions were filled with surprise and excitement.

If there was some resistance yesterday, it was completely gone at this moment.

Shen Hao was so kind to her that she didn't know how to refuse him.

Emotions are filled.

It’s really too much.

Moved, he took the initiative to kiss Shen Hao.

Seeing this, Shen Hao laughed happily.

However, Shen Hao did not live in this palace, but arranged for the dead men to live here.

After all, it was too ostentatious, so Shen Hao still moved into Hu Xueli's courtyard house.

In the evening, Fang Yanyun went back to take care of her mother.

Tao Yingying was as obedient as ever, helping Shen Hao wash his feet.

All this seems to have become her daily routine.

Looking at Tao Yingying, whose expression had recovered a little, Shen Hao said,"I'll marry you tomorrow."

Tao Yingying's fair cheeks had a blush, and she nodded and said,"The master has the final say." Shen Hao smiled, very satisfied with his current life.

At night, Shen Hao slept in Bao Shuang's main room.

Hu Xueli made the same excuse as last night, saying that she wanted to sleep in the main room even though she was afraid of ghosts.

The three-person Landlord fight was very enjoyable, but it was summer and Shen Hao was really hot.

There was no air conditioning in this day and age, so if you moved even a little bit, you would sweat all over, which was really terrible.
