Chapter 2: The Great Mansion

"Husband!"

Mao Lingzhi's voice came, and when she heard her husband's laughter, she stepped into the bedroom. Seeing that her husband was in good spirits, the original grief had long since disappeared, she was smiling, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, like a pearl fainting, beautiful jade shining.

Immediately, she saw the strange boxes on the dresser countertop.

Mao Lingzhi approached quickly, picked up the box and looked at it.

The box was a pale golden yellow, neither iron nor steel, I don't know what material it was made of, and then looked at the paper attached to the box, there were words in the paper, the text was very small but very delicately printed, she could only understand a small half, and the fish pattern on the paper was very delicately drawn.

She shook it again, confirming that it contained something.

"Husband, what is this?"

"I remembered a little bit of the past, I knew friends who went to sea, and some Hu merchants, who bought it before they got married, and it was filled with salmon."

"Salmon? Can you still put it inside and seal it so tightly? ”

Mao Lingzhi was surprised that there was a lot of seafood for sale in Nanjing, but she had never heard of salmon. What surprised her even more was the packaging material and packaging method, which required a high production process to do.

There were eight boxes of canned salmon on the countertop, Guo Wendong picked up one of them, pulled up the pull ring and pulled the lid open, and the fragrant smell came.

Mao Lingzhi sniffed the fragrance, looked at the food in the box, and exclaimed: "This salmon method is very unique, this box can be made so thin, and the production process is something I don't have in the Ming Dynasty." ”

She was attracted by the food, and her mouth became greedy, and if she hadn't had to maintain a ladylike image in front of her husband, she would have reached out to get the salmon to taste.

"Haruka, bring the dishes and chopsticks."

The maidservant Chunxiang answered, and quickly took two pairs of dishes and chopsticks.

Mao Lingzhi opened her small mouth and took a bite, the delicious juice of the salmon flowed into her mouth, biting the fish meat soaked in the juice, not fat or greasy, and the entrance was smooth and beautiful!

Guo Wendong rarely ate salmon in his previous life, but now he eats canned food, and he also feels that it tastes great.

After eating a box of each of the two bites, Guo Wendong wanted to go out and take a look at the courtyard that belonged to him, and to have a more comprehensive understanding of this home.

Coming out of the bedroom is a hall house, much larger than the bedroom, with a portrait of his father who died on the wall, and desks, coffee tables, chairs, etc. on the front of the room.

On the right side of the hall is the study room, which has many bookshelves, and there are books on the shelves, such as medical books and books such as the Four Books and the Five Classics.

Out of the hall is a large courtyard with flowers and trees, a small rockery, and a small pond.

The snow had stopped for half a day, and there was snow on the tiles, branches, leaves, and ground.

The northwest wind blew Guo Wendong's body, and when he breathed, white gas came out of his mouth, and it was really cold enough, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Mao Lingzhi took a wool cloak and draped it on her husband, making Guo Wendong feel warm.

On the east and west sides of the courtyard, there are east and west wings, which are generally inhabited by the owner's son. Originally, Guo Wendong lived in the East Wing, but after his father died, he became the head of the family, and only moved into the main house after the expiration of the three-year filial piety period.

There is a special verandah (equivalent to a corridor) connecting the wing room and the main room, which is more than one meter wide and can be walked by, and the verandah has a bench lintel to stop and rest.

To the south of the east wing is the kitchen, which has a well at the main entrance.

To the south of the west wing is the firewood room, and next to the firewood room is the toilet.

Guo Wendong watched while walking, Mao Lingzhi followed and explained, although the husband had amnesia after waking up, it was the greatest luck to be able to "come back from the dead".

Then go out from the front flower door to the front yard, which belongs to the first courtyard, there are screen doors, shadow walls, gates, and inverted seats.

According to Mao Lingzhi, the Guo family began to practice medicine during the Jiajing period, after five generations, the family business is getting bigger and bigger, the family was just a house at first, and then the family business is getting bigger and bigger, and now the Guo family's residence is a four-way courtyard.

The Guo family house belongs to the quadrangle, and the quadrangle can be divided into different sizes such as one, two, three, four, five, and six. The four-entry house is already relatively large.

The main house where Mr. and Mrs. Kwok Wendong live is located in the second entrance.

From the second courtyard to the third courtyard, this is a slightly smaller courtyard, and there is a door under the east wing, connecting the house and the medical hall. The main house of Sanjin Courtyard is used as a treasury to store the wealth accumulated by the Guo family for hundreds of years.

The two walked to the door of the main house and stopped, the door here was locked, Guo Wendong asked: "Lady, our family's money is here, how much property is there?" ”

Mao Lingzhi just got married yesterday and didn't know about it, so she ordered someone to call the housekeeper Fang Xingli.

Fang Jieli hurriedly came, first making a salute, and then speaking: "Young master, madam, I don't know what to order?" ”

He was of medium stature, in his forties, and had grown up with his old master and had been a housekeeper for ten years.

Guo Wendong asked, "How much money is in it?" ”

Fang Jieli replied: "The silver, copper coins, jewels, and antiques in the treasury are all worth about 150,000 taels. ”

"After saving for hundreds of years, it's only 150,000 taels?" Guo Wendong immediately responded.

"Xianggong, 150,000 taels is already a lot! Unless you are a person who does big business, you may be richer than our Guo family, and you have been admitted to Xiucai again, and your family will be a little better in Nanjing City! Mao Lingzhi responded, if it was the husband in the past, he would never think that these family properties were still less.

According to the purchasing power of silver in this period, compared with 2015, ten taels of silver is equivalent to seven or eight thousand yuan, and 150,000 taels is equivalent to more than 100 million.

Guo Wendong continued to inspect the rest of the house, and the east and west wings of the third courtyard were used as warehouses, the east wing room stored the purchased Chinese medicinal materials, and the west wing room stored other items.

In the northernmost part of the house, the fourth courtyard, there is a row of back cover rooms, commonly known as the backyard, where there are many small rooms that serve as dormitories for maids and servants.

After visiting every room in his house, Guo Wendong estimated that the total area should be about 2,000 square meters, and the most valuable thing is the land, if it is placed in modern Nanjing, such a large land is worth at least hundreds of millions.

The five generations of the Guo family have been practicing medicine, which belongs to the category of business, and other businessmen are buying and selling goods or workshop production items.

In the past, his father Guo Weihe was the shopkeeper of the "Qingxiutang" medical center, and in addition to his son and adopted daughter, there were more than a dozen staff members.

After Guo Weihe died, he was naturally succeeded by his only son. But Guo Wendong has been mainly studying since he was a child, supplemented by learning medical skills, but Mao Lingzhi, who concentrates on studying medicine, has won Guo Weihe's true biography, Guo Wendong is only the nominal shopkeeper, and is usually taken care of by Mao Lingzhi.

Let his son learn from literature and his daughter-in-law to learn medicine, the combination of the two not only allows the Guo family to step into the ranks of scholars, but also does not let the medical skills be lost, Guo Weihe can be described as well-intentioned.

"Lady, my husband doesn't remember anything before, and I can't remember what I've learned, this ......"

Speaking of this, Guo Wendong scratched his head embarrassedly, he is a person from modern times, how could he remember the previous owner of this body.

Mao Lingzhi comforted: "Husband, as long as you are fine, you will be able to remember it if you study more in the future." ”

Immediately, Guo Wendong thought of a question and asked: "Lady, last night we spent candles in the cave room, can there be a round room?" ”

When asked about this, Mao Lingzhi lowered her head slightly, her cheeks were flushed, she was a new wife, she was still a little shy about this aspect, and replied in a low voice: "Husband, you drank too much last night, and when you came back, you fell asleep on the bed." ”

Hey! Fortunately, Guo Wendong asked again: "Before we got married, did we ever have a husband and wife?" ”

Mao Lingzhi has been living in the West Wing, and she grew up with her husband since childhood, and she is a childhood sweetheart.

She replied: "Husband, you know books and etiquette, and you have never done anything deviant with your concubine. ”

Guo Wendong is overjoyed, this beautiful wife is still a virgin, and she is cheaper.

crossed over, got a golden finger, became a billionaire, and had a cheap wife, haha!
