Chapter 51 (1/2)
The bell tower of St. Hilde's Cathedral has a dull knock of twelve.
The calendar has turned another day, and now it is August 19, 1379.
Port Tulun, No. 47 palm street, is a luxurious single building with white walls, red tiles and ostentatious external relief decoration. In addition to the neat palm trees in the yard, the living environment is quite good.
”Even the recently popular opera star can't afford to buy a house here.” How much money did Jonah stand at the door of the house, so she whispered
Palm Tree Street is a new rich area in port Tulun. The starting price of a single family house here is above 100000 gold marks.
The witus family had a certain stake in the old theater destroyed by the shelling, as well as in the new theater today. He knew what a popular actor was worth. Miss Verona, the latest pop opera star, has a total legal income of about 3000 to 5000 gold marks a year.
Compared with ordinary people, this is an astronomical income.
It's just that compared to the house prices here
The tooth followed Joe, and he coughed: ”young master, Miss Verona, you can choose to rent this house.”
Spread out his hands and grinned, ”the average rent of a house near Palm street is about 5000 gold marks a year. The annual rate of return is 5%, which is very ordinary, but it is constant and long-term.”
Joe froze and shrugged: ”Wow, of course, you can rent. But I rarely have this concept. I always buy anything I like directly
His lips moved and Joe puffed out a puff of smoke.
Five thousand gold marks, no doubt, this is also an unbearable price for ordinary people. Therefore, the residents of palm tree Street are either new rich merchants with successful business or artists with noble support behind them.
Opera, ballet, poet, painter, composer, pianist
Many well-known art celebrities in port Tulun live here. Palm tree street, the most artistic street in port Tulun, is not only because it is adjacent to the new opera house.
Standing a little farther away, he was very careful to hide his body in the shadow of the trees at any time. Mr. gengs gave a light cough:
”how could a ignorant young woman, once she became famous, become popular, vain and enjoy herself, especially if she wanted to maintain the ostentation of her peers, how could she refuse a luxury house that was too extravagant and wasteful for her? So, she should have rented the house with all her annual income. ”
With a sigh, Mr. sgens murmured:
”naturally, there is a tight money bag, and personal finance for a set of high-end cosmetics is in short supply. Damned nobles, they know seductive depravity, they will certainly take advantage of it. Miss Verona, has degenerated into Anand's lover? Do you believe that they are true love? ”
Shaking his head, Spence muttered in disgust, ”no, how can it be love? He is old enough to be her father
”A shameful deal, a shameless deal Great mu, look, look, this is the nobles of the kingdom of St. HIA. This is, as the saying goes, the true face of your most devout believers! ”
Joe felt in his heart how much resentment Mr. Skinner felt.
However, it can be seen how popular this miss Verona has recently become in port Toulon. Even Mr. sgens has become a loyal fan of her.
The face shopkeeper quietly pushed open the complicated and exquisite back door made of bronze carving, and waved to Qiao.
Joe entered the house, surrounded by teeth, Spence, and a group of guards.
In the kennel next to the back door, two large boxed lions collapsed, their long tongues drooping out of their mouths, snoring in a low voice. In the small room next to the kennel, a man servant on duty at night is also in a coma.
Along the path between the palm trees, all the way into the small building in the middle of the yard, the whole house was quiet, no sound came out. There were heavy snores coming out of the servants' rooms, and all the servants and maids were dead.
”Well done, grimace shopkeeper!” ”It's a good thing for everyone, especially miss Verona, to take that information without disturbing anyone,” he exclaimed
Consider, according to Anand, the fleet of four first-class battleships that the kingdom of St. HIA prepared in the open sea for this information, and Joe's heart could not help sinking.
It's not going to end so easily.
Down the stairs, straight up to the second floor, down the corridor, to the end of the reception hall, where there is another arc-shaped staircase, leading to the host's daily life on the third floor.
In the largest living room on the third floor, the French windows facing the wharf were all open. The thick velvet curtains were closed, and only the soft and translucent gauze curtain was lowered.
The night wind blows the screen curtain, and the fragrance floats. On the big soft sofa in the living room, several graceful and charming girls are lying there.On the ground, there are several silver water pipe bags, and the long hose is hanging on the ground. In the cigarette holder, wisps of light smoke mixed with spices are slowly emerging.
