The three-courtyard house Xia Chen recently purchased might not compare to the Marquis Manor, but in the Capital City, it could still be considered a mansion.

Located in the inner city and near Central Avenue, the location was excellent. Both the landscape and the rooms in the courtyard were exquisite, and Xia Chen was immediately taken by it.

Thus, buying this house alone cost him three thousand taels of silver, a figure that would be astronomical for an ordinary family.

In this era, silver had significant purchasing power, and currently, Xia Chen's monthly salary was only fifty taels.
