Immediately, Tian Qiong followed Qian Gui to a village called Xuanming Lane, not far from Weiyang Palace in Chang 'an City.
"Uncle Qian, the identity of the owner of this mansion is not ordinary, right?”
Tian Meng knew that those who could live near Weiyang Palace were basically either rich or noble people, and most of them were dignitaries.
"It seems that the owner of the mansion has a high status!”
"Oh? There's no problem with the source of the mansion, right?"
"Don't worry, Lord. This old servant has asked around. The owner of this mansion is surnamed Zhang, and his ancestor was once conferred a marquis. However, later on, his descendant committed a crime, and the marquis was taken away. This old servant had seen the title deed and had never changed hands before. There definitely wouldn't be a problem!”
Qian Gui said to Tian Meng.
Tian Meng nodded.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of a huge mansion. The mansion was very imposing. It was obvious that the original owner was a Marquis. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such a big mansion.
However, the house seemed to lack care. The long walls outside were a little old.
Uncle Qian went up and knocked on the door.
Soon, an old servant opened the door and invited Tian Meng in after asking a few questions.
Tian Mo followed behind and entered the mansion.
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw many rooms scattered in all directions. The rooms and courtyards were stacked in an orderly manner. These rooms were connected by long corridors.
Walking along the long corridor, Tian Kui saw that the residence was filled with gardens, courtyards, lotus ponds, corner pavilions, and so on. The scenery was very good, and it could completely satisfy the leisure time to play, admire the scenery, or entertain guests.
"Lord, how is it?"
Uncle Qian asked.
Tian Meng nodded. It was obvious that the ancestors of this manor had a higher status than he had imagined. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to own such a good manor.
This was still due to the lack of care. If it was properly taken care of, the scenery would probably be comparable to the high-end villa districts of the future.
"How much did he bid?"
"Two thousand gold!"
Hearing Uncle Qian's words, Tian Meng was silent.
Gosh, two thousand gold coins, that's almost 1.4 million!
This mansion was not cheap!
However, this was indeed a high-grade mansion.
Soon, Tian Qiong followed the old servant and arrived at a courtyard.
"Patriarch, the guests have arrived!"
The old servant greeted a middle-aged man standing in the courtyard.
"Oh? He's here!"
Hearing the old servant's voice, the middle-aged man in a long robe turned around and walked toward Tian Kongwang.
The middle-aged man looked at Tian Qiong in surprise. He didn't expect the buyer to be such a young man.
"Lord Zhang, this is our Marquis Wu 'an!”
Qian Gui said to the middle-aged man.
"So it's Marquis Wu An, no wonder he's so young!”
"I am Zhang Dian, greetings Marquis Wu An!”
The middle-aged man cupped his hands and bowed.
"Zhang Dian? Are you the descendant of Marquis Liu?"
Tian Meng opened his eyes. He seemed to remember that Zhang Liang had a descendant called Zhang Dian.
"I'm ashamed. I've embarrassed our ancestors!" Zhang Dian said awkwardly. Today, he was prepared to sell the manor left behind by his ancestors.
No wonder this mansion was so grand and occupied such a large area. This must have been the mansion that Liu Bang, the great ancestor, had given to the meritorious minister.
"Fate is unpredictable. Perhaps in the future, you will be able to revive the clan!”Tian Meng smiled.
"Sigh, back then, my late father committed the crime of disrespect and was stripped of his title. He used all his wealth to protect this mansion with great difficulty. I didn't expect that he would still lose it in my hands today!”
Zhang Dian sighed and invited Tian Meng to sit at the stone table in the courtyard.
After the two of them sat down and chatted for a while, they started discussing the price of the mansion.
After a round of haggling, Tian Meng finally bought the mansion for 1,700 gold.
"I am deeply gratified that this estate can be sold to Marquis Wu An!”
Zhang Dian said to Tian Kong. This Marquis of Wu 'an was able to be conferred the title of Marquis with his military merits at such a young age, he was indeed impressed.
"I also like this manor very much!”
Tian Meng smiled. This price was worth it!
After that, the two of them went to the government to sign a contract. Tian Qiong paid 1,700 gold to Zhang Dian, and the huge mansion became Tian Qiong's.
On the second day, Tian Qiong and Qian Gui came to the manor once again!
After seriously looking through the entire manor, Tian Meng came up with a complete renovation plan and instructed Qian Gui one by one.
"Uncle Qian, just do as I said and hire the best craftsmen in Chang 'an to renovate!”
"Lord, is this necessary? Such a big move would probably cost a lot of money!”
Uncle Qian wanted to persuade him when he heard Tian Meng's request for luxurious decorations.
"Isn't money earned just for spending? Just do as I say. Don't care about the money!”
Tian Meng smiled. He had already bought such a large mansion. If he didn't decorate it properly, it would be a waste.
"Yes, Lord!"
Uncle Qian nodded helplessly.
After giving instructions on the decorations of the manor, Tian Meng called out to Qian Gui,
"Let's go. Uncle Qian, follow me to the Official Slave Department and see if there are any suitable servants. Buy some servants and you'll have something to do when the time comes!”
"Lord, just buy one or two. This old servant's body is still alright, I can do some work!”
Qian Gui was also very happy. Although he was the manager of the Tian Residence, he didn't have anyone to order him around.
The corner of Tian Meng's mouth curled into a smile. He then left the mansion and headed straight for the Official Slave Department!
Not long after, Tian Qiong arrived at a huge official slave department with many houses.
Once they entered the Official Slaves Department!
"Marquis Wu An, this lowly official has not come out to welcome you!”
A skinny man cupped his hands and said respectfully to Tian Meng with a smile on his face.
"Lord Jia is too polite!"
Tian Meng smiled.
"Marquis Wu An, please, please!"
Jia Zhen, who was in charge of the Official Slave Department, welcomed Tian Kui in. As he entered, he asked Tian Kui,
"Marquis Wu An, are you here to buy a servant from the Official Slaves Bureau?”
Tian Meng nodded and smiled,
"That's right. The manor is lacking some maidservants. I came here to see if there are any suitable ones!”
Hearing this, Jia Zhen called Tian Kui to a spacious courtyard.
"Aren't you going to serve Marquis Wuan some tea?"
Jia Zhen instructed the minor official beside him.
Soon, a small official served tea to Tian Meng.
"Thank you, Lord Jia!"
Tian Meng drank his tea and smiled at the attentive Jia Zhen.
How could he not see that this Jia Zhenpo was taking the initiative to curry favor with him!
However, it made sense. At his age, he had been conferred the title of marquis in one go. Moreover, he was close to the emperor. How could the other party dare to disrespect him?
"Marquis Wu An is too polite!"
"May I know what kind of servants Marquis Wu An would like?”
Jia Zhen asked Tian Meng with a smile.
"Oh, young, beautiful, with a good figure. It would be best if she had some talent! It would be best if there was a beautiful lady from a noble family!”
