The mansions where they live are all high gatehouses and rich apartments. Every family has a series of high-rise houses, halls decorated with cornices, high-rise buildings one after another, various high platforms, pavilions. As for flowers, trees, winding paths, and secluded places, each garden has one. And they are all green with peaches and plums in summer, and evergreen bamboo and cypress in winter, and not only the Nalan family.

In addition to the palace and the palace, if you want to say who has the largest mansion in the Guo City in Gyeonggi, the most luxurious is the queen Dongfang family, the concubine Murong family and other noble families.

The Dongfang family and the Murong family lived a few miles outside the Qingyang Gate of the Imperial Palace, on the east and west sides of the imperial road. The two prefectures are among the best in Gyeonggi City. Emperor Nanhua rewarded them with a canopy of honor decorated with bird feathers, a band, and a total of 100 guards wearing brindled swords.

The mansion where the two families live is comparable to the imperial palace. The snow-white floor walls, the vermilion threshold, and the beautiful courtyard wall are built outside. Moreover, the flying eaves, the gorgeous houses, the layout is uneven, far-reaching and vast, and there are corridors between the rooms.

Legend has it that there were 6,000 servants and 500 geisha in the two houses. The pearl of the house can reflect the sun, and the gorgeous Luo Qi dances with the wind. When traveling, there are horseback attendants in front of the gong to open the way, followed by various chariots and uniforms, flags and honor guards, and military music to accompany him, and the sound of Hu Ji mourns the desolation. Back in the house, there are singers and dancers singing and dancing for them, beating and blowing the sheng, and the silk and bamboo orchestra plays one after another, and the whole night does not stop. As for the lush forests, fences, and fish pond pavilions in the Fuzhong Garden, the Royal Garden is nothing more than that. The verdant grass is continuous, and the rare trees are shady. Elegant and quiet, straight like a fairyland on earth.

The palace could not be too close, a wide royal river surrounded the palace, and the royal river was built with a golden water bridge, leading to the palace.

One in the middle is the Oji Bridge. The bridge is twenty-three meters long and six meters wide. The white marble pillar is carved with a dragon auspicious cloud, and this bridge is for the emperor's exclusive use. The east and west sides of the Royal Road Bridge are the Wanggong Bridge, which is 21 meters long and 5 meters wide and 4 meters wide, which is used by members of the royal family and princes and ministers.

On both sides of the bridge is the grade, which is 19 meters long and 4 meters 8 wide, for officials above the third grade to walk. The bridge body is made of white marble, all of them are carved dragon and phoenix auspicious clouds, bright and bright like jade, there are 400 stone dragons under the bridge, they are in the water;

There are palace guards standing in front of the bridge, holding halberds and armor to patrol in front of the bridge, and no idle people are allowed to approach, Nangong Yuhuan saw it and knew that he could not get close to the palace to watch, so he had to turn down the outer edge of the palace in turn.

Neiguo City was prosperous for a while, everywhere was the singing and dancing of the pavilion and the song platform, the sound of silk and bamboo was endless, the music floated from this courtyard to that courtyard, and the sound of the string orchestra could be heard everywhere. Nangong Yuhuan secretly praised in his heart: "What a South China country, a good Gyeonggi City, it really deserves the reputation of Zuzhou." ’

Neiguo City covers a vast area, Nangong Yuhuan traveled all morning, and only visited a few mansions, if it weren't for the fact that spells are not allowed in Neiguo City, Nangong Yuhuan would have used Shenxing Technique a long time ago.

However, after this play, Nangong Yuhuan found an interesting thing, to say that the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism and even the main gods of the Western Regions have built a crown hall in the secular world, and good men and women worship and worship, and incense is endless. But there is not a temple or a temple here, I don't know why?

Nangong Yuhuan thought about it for a while, and it seemed that there were no temples and Taoist temples and other buildings in Waiguo City. If you want to say that there is, there is only an ancestral family temple like Taimiao, and even the Temple of Literature has never been seen.

The palace is located in the east, taking the meaning of purple gas from the east, covering a vast area, and the Nangong family that Nangong Yuhuan wants to go to is in the south of Neiguo City, which sounds like it is not far, but it really took Nangong Yuhuan four hours to walk, of course, this is also because Nangong Yuhuan stops and goes, and looks while walking.

After the Vermilion Bird Gate, you can see part of the buildings in the south of the city in the distance, the most extensive of which is still the Nangong family, at this time the sun has been slanting to the west, it is the twilight season, the wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of the Wuyi Alley. A touch of the slanting sun is shining on the plaque of the Nangong family, the carved railing on the lintel is still there, but the color has faded and lost its true color.

The vermilion gate of the Nangong family, mottled has begun to fall down the patent leather, and the vermilion lacquer gate inlaid with copper nails is closed and no one enters or exits, only a branch of red apricot in the garden quietly sticks out of the wall. Listen carefully, the courtyard is very quiet, only occasionally there are one or two human voices, there is no sound of silk and bamboo wind music, and even the barking of dogs and chickens can not be heard.

Nangong Yuhuan looked at it silently, and did not rush to the Nangong family mansion, but walked up at the mouth of Wuyi Lane, this south gate area, in addition to the Nangong family occupies a vast area, there is actually no wealthy family, on the side of the Nangong mansion, is a wasteland with ruins and broken walls, mugwort is more than one person high, full of thorns, foxes and rabbits running and playing in the garden, pheasants and wild birds in the trees and grass to build nests, a desolate scene.

It stands to reason that there should not be such a large vacant land in this inner city, but it is not allowed to be deserted for some reason.

Nangong Yuhuan's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, his divine sense shrouded the past, and he could see this wasteland clearly with a little effort, what made Nangong Yuhuan strange was that this wasteland was really just a wasteland, since there was no one in it.

There must be a demon when something goes wrong, Nangong Yuhuan didn't dare to approach it when he saw it's weird, and only walked roughly around the periphery of the ruined wall.

There is a high and raised mound in the deserted garden under the slanting sun, on which there is a kind of red flower, like a red bird, petite and exquisite, there are flowers that have borne fruit and the shape is like a golden orange, which is particularly fragrant and dense, and can be smelled from afar.

Nangong Yuhuan fixed his eyes and recognized this grass, it is the legendary palace grass, the legend is the beauty of the palace, most of the beauty in the palace complains about emptiness and loneliness, especially the palace maid, there are those who died in the palace, after burial, this grass will grow on the grave.

How can there be a tomb in this inner Guo city, shouldn't it all be in Beiguo Village outside the city? And why are there palace people blooming on the tomb, this is not a palace, where are the palace people?

Nangong Yuhuan was full of questions, but he didn't know who to ask, for some reason there was no pedestrian in this area, and they were far away from the entrance of Wuyi Alley, and it was not possible to find someone to ask.

Nangong Yuhuan thought about it, straightened his clothes, walked towards the Nangong family's mansion, knocked lightly on the door of the vermilion lacquer gate, and slammed into it with four hurried sounds, two slow sounds, and four hurried sounds.
