Chapter 3: The House of the Underworld
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, three exquisite and luxurious carriages, loaded with wooden boxes, came in a majestic manner. There are bodyguards on both sides, and it is really a big family traveling, and the momentum is impressive.
Fu Mingsu stepped forward with his robe, and it was Yi Jixuan, who was handsome and gentle in the wind of Yushu.
The two beautiful men are both elegant, with high buns, brocade clothes, clean and neat, standing in one place, which is really eye-catching, and has aroused the admiring eyes of the ladies of the official family on the side.
"Big brother, please!" Fu Mingsu stretched out his hand to invite, and Yi Jilan also greeted him, happily welcoming his eldest brother. marrying alone in the south, there is always a time when I miss my family. Fortunately, now that the eldest brother is here, he has begun to expand the Yi family's industry in the south, and he will also settle in the capital, and she has her mother's family nearby since then.
Yi Jixuan saluted Ming Su: "Ming Su, don't be in a hurry to enter the mansion first, you take me to see the house first." ”
Fu Mingsu was slightly surprised: "Big brother is so anxious to see that house." ”
Yi Jixuan also smiled gently: "Ming Su, living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I only feel disturbed, so today I bother you to go and see the house first, and I will move into the new house as soon as possible." ”
Yi Jilan also immediately stepped forward to explain: "Xianggong, you take my brother to see it first, my brother lives in Xiangfu, I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable." ”
Fu Mingsu smiled, and he also understood that Yi Jixuan wanted to move into the new house as soon as possible. After all, the sender is constrained under the fence, let alone living in the Prime Minister's Mansion, presumably Yi Jixuan will feel deep pressure.
In fact, they will also find it inconvenient to pay their families.
"Good. I'll take you there. Wife. Fu Mingsu instructed Yi Jilan, "I'm bothering you here, let people lead the carriage into the house." ”
Yi Jilan smiled elegantly and beckoned the family to take the Yi family's carriage and servants to lead the carriage to the back alley.
"Is the house far away?" Yi Jixuan and Fu Ming traced down the steps, for businessmen, the feng shui and location of the house are very important.
Fu Mingsu looked at Yi Jixuan with a smile: "It's all according to the requirements of the eldest brother, the location is good, the price is low, and it's ......" Fu Mingsu looked puzzled, "It's a legendary Yin House." Oh, big brother, everyone avoids the Yin House, why does the eldest brother want to buy it?"
Yi Jixuan smiled lightly, and there was more mystery in his eyes: "I'll talk to my eldest brother when I get there." ”
Fu Mingsu showed some anticipation and took Yi Jixuan to the famous Yin Mansion in the capital.
In every city, there will be a legendary mansion. The Yin Mansion conforms to some common characteristics, such as the death of many people, such as the people who live in it will see ghosts.
Fu Mingsu knows that business people will have some of their own habits when choosing a house, and they will spend a lot of money to hire a feng shui master to lay out feng shui. I had heard that some businessmen liked to buy a yin house, and I didn't believe it before, but I didn't expect that my eldest brother would become a person who bought a yin house.
This yin house is also famous in the capital, and the location is particularly good, located in the southeast area of the capital. That is on the edge of the area where the nobles and nobles of the capital lived.
Most of the people who live in this area are famous literati and scholars in the capital. And this house has something to do with the "Proud Beauty Picture" that Fu Mingsu sold to Wang Yi.
Because this house is the old house of Huangshan Dao and Huang Ye.
It is rumored that after Huang Ye disappeared that year, this old mansion was given to Huang Ye's die-hard fans. But I didn't expect that not long after I moved in, it began to be haunted.
After that, the house also changed hands several times, and every buyer came in without believing in ghosts and gods, and some were scared out by ghosts. After that, no one bought this house anymore, and this house became a yin house.
This house is not far from Xiangfuguo. Yi Jixuan walked all the way with Fu Mingsu, talking and chatting, and before he knew it, he arrived in front of this mansion.
There is also a rickety plaque on the door of the mansion with the previous resident: Ma Fu. Because no one has lived in it for a long time, the house has become dilapidated, lost its popularity, and is lifeless, even if it is not a yin house, the wind that comes out of the crack in the door is also a little cold.
"Now there is a calligrapher and a royal musician living on both sides of the house, and they are also a decent family in Beijing. Fu Mingsu was quite reliable, not only found him a mansion according to Yi Jixuan's request, but also made some understanding of what kind of person the neighbor was.
This choice of house and neighbor is a very particular thing in a large family, because any neighbor may become a future network. If people have money, they naturally have to choose neighbors to live in.
"This time it's really Lao Ming, Ji Xuan is embarrassed, let the dignified eldest son of the left minister busy for me, I really don't dare to be, I don't dare to be. Yi Jixuan said, holding Fu Mingsu's arm affectionately, "I brought a gift to Mingsu, and I'll bring it when I go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion later, don't dislike Mingsu." ”
Fu Mingsu also smiled with his head: "Uncle brother is really polite, my family doesn't talk about two families, and my business will also need a lot of help from my uncle in the future." ”
Yi Jixuan patted Fu Mingsu's arm: "It's Mingsu, you're polite, this is not a problem, you and I join forces, and the south will eat it sooner or later!" Yi Jixuan's gestures were full of the confidence and domineering of a businessman, and his momentum was not inferior to the marshal who was strategizing on the battlefield!
Fu Mingsu took out the key to the old mansion: "Uncle, please." ”
Yi Jixuan took the key, strode up the steps, looked at the wide lintel in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction. Immediately, he took out the key and plunged it into the old keyhole, and with a rusty snapping sound, the chain fell to the ground with a rusty "clatter".
Yi Jixuan pushed the door open, "Whew!", and immediately the yin wind passed through the hall, blowing on Yi Jixuan's face, which actually brought a burst of cinnamon fragrance, only to see that on both sides of the courtyard in front of the door, it was a golden and silver cinnamon, competing to bloom in the autumn!
"Now my eldest brother can tell me why I bought this Yin Mansion?" Fu Mingsu stood beside Yi Jixuan.
Yi Jixuan looked at the courtyard in front of him for a while, and stepped in without hesitation: "Because it's cheap." ”
Fu Mingsu was stunned for a moment in Yi Jixuan's answer, and then laughed uncontrollably. This answer is really true.
Isn't the Yin House cheap?
The musty smell of wood naturally grows in the house that has not been inhabited for a long time, but in the cinnamon fragrance, this musty smell is easily masked. The ground was overgrown with weeds, and wild vegetables grew at the threshold. The wood is a little loose, but it can be seen that the high-quality camphor wood was used back then, and even if no one lives and takes care of it, there is no sign of termite breeding.
The whole house is quite well preserved, except for a little paint in some places, which is very easy to repair. Most of the furniture is still there, still good mahogany. Tenant after tenant has added a lot of good things to the house.
What makes Yi Jixuan like the most is that there is a huge lotus pond in this house, a small pavilion rockery by the pond, presumably it must be the moonlight of the lotus pond here at night, and it must have a different charm.
