As soon as Gu Xinyue left the capital, the county lord's mansion in the capital began a large-scale transformation.

Although the Wu Wangfu was bought by Qin Qi, Qin Qi, a general, was not qualified to live in a prince's mansion.

Therefore, the repair is mainly on the county lord's mansion.

Just put the garden of King Wu's mansion and some yards close to the garden together.

The towering main courtyard buildings in front of King Wu's mansion were divided by a wall.

From the outside, King Wu's Mansion is still a withered one, and grass grows at the door.

And the county lord's mansion is still not obvious, and the alley is deep and quiet.

But inside, there is a different world, and the area is larger than the Dingguo Mansion.

In April, after a large group of craftsmen from Yangzhou arrived, it looked quiet outside, and it was even more lively inside.

By the end of August, the entire county lord's mansion had completely changed.

As soon as Gu Xinyue walked in, she almost thought that she was in the wrong place.

The courtyard in front has not changed much, but after passing through the hanging flower gate after the three entrances, there is a different cave and another world.

Walking back from the gold-painted verandah, it turned out that the main courtyard where she lived had been connected to the cross-courtyard, forming a larger courtyard with more comprehensive and convenient facilities.

And through this compound, in the back of the garden, which has been connected, with flowers, winding paths, and a landscape for every tree and stone, there are several exquisite and unique courtyards.

With the theme of plum, bamboo, orchid, chrysanthemum, breeze and snow, each yard has its own characteristics and layout.

Although it does not have the exquisite luxury of Wang Yuan, it is more elegant and comfortable.

It's really exciting to look at.

However, Gu Xinyue saw that the corners of her eyes were twitching.

Pretty! It's so beautiful!

But as long as she thought that she would have to leave next year, and then once something happened, she didn't know who was cheaper in this yard, and she felt a pain in her flesh.

"Girl, don't like it?" Originally, he had been proudly leading Gu Xinyue to be the steward, but when he turned around and saw Gu Xinyue's face, he sighed in his heart and asked carefully.

"How much did it cost?" Gu Xinyue asked faintly.

Belch......

The steward was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out an account book from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands: "A total of 32,320 taels of silver was spent, and there are still some final accounts that have not yet been settled, and it is estimated that there are more than 300 taels of wages." ”

More than 30,000 taels......

Gu Xinyue looked up, it looked no worse than Wang Garden, the area was ten times larger, and there were many more gardens in the yard, and nodded: "It's good." ”

Although the entire Wu Wangfu is only 30,000 taels, this garden is so beautiful and exquisite, every detail is in place, and each courtyard also has its own uniqueness.

The materials are also very particular, although it will not be thousands of taels of stone like Old Man Wang, but it is not much worse than the Anguo Mansion.

It only cost more than 30,000 taels to do this...... This steward is indeed very skillful.

Looking back at the steward, Gu Xinyue said, "By the way, you are ......"

"His subordinate Lu Tao was sent by General Zhenbei." The steward said with a smile: "The general said that He Niu has left, and let him take over the post of county lord and governor." ”

"Ahh Gu Xinyue raised her eyebrows, remembering this person.

Qin Qi once told her that Zhang Qi, like He Niu, has a straightforward temperament, and there is no problem in being responsible for security, but it is not good to deal with those officials in the capital, and he will send another person to take over the position of the county lord and governor.

It just so happened that Yuan Zisu was also going down to the south of the Yangtze River, so he let that person be responsible for the repair of the mansion.

Qin Qi said that that person was his spy leader in the capital, although he looked a little like that, but he was sleek, a ghost and elf with a belly, and he was very righteous and loyal.

Seeing this person now, Gu Xinyue thought about it, but found a little impression in her mind.

This person also attended the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner last year.

At that time, I was with Zhang Qi and them all the time.

But their relationship with Qin Fu is also very iron.

Come to think of it, it is someone that Qin Qi and Qin Mohan both trust.

"Girl, although the girl has returned to Beijing now, her body has not yet been raised, so it is better to rest in the mansion." Lu Tao smiled and said: "By the way, a drama garden has been built in front of you, and the girl has already gone out of the filial piety period, if you are bored, why don't you order a troupe to sing a few plays?" ”

Gu Xinyue looked in the direction of his finger and said, "Don't be in a hurry, rest for a few days first." ”

"Cheng, girl, look over here." Lu Tao nodded, and then pointed to a place surrounded by greenery in the distance, and said: "That piece is the warehouse at the back of the main courtyard, the previous things, because of the repair, some have been moved over there, do you want to rearrange it?" ”

Gu Xinyue nodded, turned her head and walked there.

After bypassing a few rockery trails and a dense forest, a tall stone wall is exposed.

Further back, you can see the cornices of the main courtyard.

There was a small door in the corner of the wall, and when he got to the door, Lu Tao stood up, raised his hand to block the others, and said with a smile: "This warehouse is messy, just go and see it by yourself." ”

Peony glared at him and said, "What do you mean?" ”

Lu Tao smiled and said, "No, no, don't misunderstand, Peony girl." ”

Gu Xinyue glanced at him, and when she saw him squeezing her eyebrows, she patted the peony and said, "It's okay, it's difficult, there can still be an accident in our house." ”

With that, he stepped through the small door.

From the outside, this place is not big, but it is just an extension of the back wall of the main courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, it was suddenly enlightened.

There are large stone houses around it, and a square paved with bluestone slabs in the middle.

This is not surprising, though.

Surprisingly.

Inside kneeling on one knee, full, kneeling in a yard of men in green clothes.

Gu Xinyue paused for a moment.

When the person with the head raised his head, he recognized that this person should be the captain of the personal guard beside Qin Qi, and the one kneeling next to him was the captain of the personal guard beside Qin Mohan.

And some of the others inside are people who are dressed up as secret doors like the nine people in the wind.

In this hidden courtyard, there are actually 500 elite soldiers and 30 secret door masters!

"Girl, there is a tunnel down here, which can lead directly to the outside of the city." Zhang Qi brought the peony in from the small door, knelt next to the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "After I wait, it will be under the jurisdiction of the girl." ”

"Don't worry, girl, our place is big, and people outside don't know that there are so many people hiding in us." Lu Tao also slipped in from the small door, closed the door, and said in a deep voice: "Even the people in this mansion will not know about this place." ”

Today's county lord's mansion is very large, and the people have their own place, and this treasury is heavy, and people will not be approached at all.

Gu Xinyue looked at the people in this courtyard, and she didn't know what to say.

Only slowly moistened the eye sockets.

These people are the most elite and powerful fighters around those two.

Those two people were obviously in the middle of the battlefield now, but they sent these people to the capital.
