The year is approaching, the capital is full of joy, Chongzhen six years is indeed a year worth celebrating, because the main force of the northeast of the slave was defeated, the main force of the northwest anti-thief was also defeated, the Ming Dynasty gradually revealed a sense of the four seas to level the image of Zhongxing, how can the people of the capital not rejoice.

In a festive atmosphere, near the stone tablet alley of Dashi Yongfang, a mansion on West Chang'an Avenue quietly welcomed its new owner.

This was originally a hundred-household residence of Jinyiwei, because this hundred-household lord was in charge of the Han general in the forbidden palace, so the residence was quite magnificent, and the area was quite huge, and the front yard alone was more than ten acres in size, especially the vacant land behind the gate wall, and it was not a problem to line up hundreds of people.

The reason why these 100 houses are built so big is not that he uses his power for personal gain, this place originally has the nature of the yamen of 100 households, and it usually has to hold a hall to discuss matters, gather people, and even conduct simple exercises, and the place is not big.

However, Zhang Bin is cheaper at this time, because Zhang Bin has already "bought" this place as his mansion.

Of course, he didn't really buy this one, he bought it a few months ago, he just pretended to go around the East Chang'an Avenue and West Chang'an Avenue for a few days, and then moved in with Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru.

This has undergone a preliminary transformation, the school field in the front yard has long been divided into two semi-open courtyards, the middle is still open space, but the surrounding has been built into rows of quite exquisite single residences, and later Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru each took a team of selected guards to live in the courtyard on both sides, acting as a family and a guardian.

As for the change in the backyard, it is not very big, because there are originally six bedrooms and a main house in it, which is very spacious, and Zhang Bin's two wives and three concubines are more than enough to live in with their respective maids and old mothers.

The exterior of the backyard has basically not changed, but the inside has been finely renovated, and although it does not look very luxurious, the materials are quite elegant.

Zhang Bin wants to be low-key, so the whole mansion is not a little luxurious, but if a knowledgeable expert comes in to take a closer look, he will definitely be shocked that his jaw drops, for example, several sets of coffee tables and chairs in the lobby of the main mansion look like ordinary red pine, but in fact it is made of real mahogany, a set will cost hundreds of taels, just these sets of tables and chairs for hospitality add up to buy the entire mansion is enough!

The materials in the lobby are so exquisite, not to mention his own study, bedroom, and wife's and concubine's bedroom, in short, the furniture in this backyard alone is worth tens of thousands of taels, but it doesn't look luxurious at all.

This is just a small meaning, the real horror is not here, because the mansion on the surface is only the main residence of Zhang Bin's mansion, Zhang Bin's real mansion covers the south of West Chang'an Avenue to Banqiao Hutong, the west of Shibei Hutong to the middle of Yuma Street Hutong, more than 100 households, covering an area of at least 1,000 acres!

In this area, except for another mansion of more than 20 acres in the middle, which was reserved for his parents to live in, the rest of the place was occupied by the elite of his special operations battalion, the team under Zhang Cha and Zhao Ru was responsible for the north, the team under Wang Er and Sun Biao was responsible for the south, the team under Zhao Xing and Li Ji was responsible for the east, and the team under Qian Liang and Zhang Pan was responsible for the west.

Some of them disguised themselves as artisans in Beijing, some disguised as wandering traders, and some disguised as the children of rich families who went to Beijing to study, and successively "bought" the surrounding residences in various capacities, and guarded this piece like an iron bucket.

Of course, if Chongzhen really mobilizes the Beijing camp to clean him up, he will find that not to mention tens of thousands of people, I am afraid that thousands of people will not be able to move, because the British prince in charge of the Beijing camp has been pulled by Zhang Bin like his own camp, and the British prince Zhang Shize is like a little brother in front of him, and it is a dream to transfer the Beijing camp to clean him up!

Not to mention Dongchang and Jinyiwei, Cao Huachun and Luo Yangxing are lifelong friends with him, unless Chongzhen replaces these two, otherwise there is no need to count on transferring Dongchang and Jinyiwei to clean him up.

This is only the defensive force around his mansion, there are countless soldiers of the personal guard regiment around the capital who are slowly infiltrating in various capacities, it can be said that there is no problem in terms of security, at this time, Zhang Bin sent someone to inform his family members who are far away in Dongfan, and all of them moved to the capital.

The twenty-fourth day of the lunar month is the traditional year, the people of the capital have begun to put up lanterns, ready to welcome the New Year, the Zhang Mansion on the south side of West Chang'an Street is no exception, early in the morning, there are more than ten families carrying the stairs, carrying paste buckets and lanterns, holding couplets at the gate to work busy.

Before they could finish their work, several carriages came from a distance, and the driver seemed to know the family very well, and after saying hello casually, he drove the carriage through the gate, directly through the school yard in the front yard, and drove to the back yard.

At this time, Zhang Bin was standing at the gate of the backyard rubbing his hands excitedly, and as soon as the first carriage stopped, he couldn't wait to run up, opened the door curtain and looked inside, and then said with great joy: "Xiangxiang!" ”

Xiao Zhang Xiang pouted in Qi Fanghua's arms, as if she responded, and then squeezed her face into the plush cloak, and continued to fall asleep.

Qi Fanghua glanced at him and scolded lightly: "Xianggong, don't scream so loudly, Xiangxiang has been tired for the past two days, be careful to wake her up." ”

Zhang Bin stared at his daughter's pink and jade face, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and said, "Come, I'll hug, I'll hug, it's not easy for you to get off!" ”

Qi Fanghua held her daughter in one hand, swept him away with the other, and scolded with a smile: "Go, go, don't get in the way, go and help Rong'er hug Yangyang, get out of the car for such a trivial matter, do I still want your help." ”

Zhang Bin thought of this aunt's kung fu, so he could only smile and nod, and reluctantly glanced at his baby daughter, and then ran to the second carriage.

By this time the six carriages had come to a standstill, and the guards who acted as coachmen jumped down from them one by one, ran to the front, held the reins under the horses' necks, and stood upright with their backs to the doors, because the carriages were full of women, and they wanted to avoid suspicion.

Zhang Bin naturally didn't have to avoid suspicion, he ran directly to the front of the second carriage, opened the curtain and looked inside, sure enough, it was Hong Rong'er sitting in it with Xiao Zhang Yang in her arms, the boy was naughty, at this time Hong Rong'er was humming a little song there and coaxing it vigorously, but Xiao Zhang Yang was twisting in her arms, but she couldn't be quiet.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Bin immediately said eagerly: "Come, come, Rong'er, hug me, hug me, you get out of the car first." ”

Hong Rong'er looked up and saw that it was Zhang Bin, and immediately stuffed her son into his hand without hesitation, and said happily: "Xianggong, is this home, Yangyang couldn't sleep happily as soon as he got into the carriage, but I was tired." ”

As soon as Xiao Zhang Yang left his mother's warm embrace, he opened his eyes in a daze, looked around, and when he saw that it was Zhang Bin, he immediately couldn't help asking, "Dad, where is this?" ”

Zhang Bin couldn't help but kiss him on his red little face, and laughed: "Good son, it's home, this is our new home." ”

At this time, the curtains of the other carriages were also opened, and Chen Yingying, Xiao Fengxian, and Xiao Yun came out of it with a few maids, not to mention how happy they were.

Zhang Bin hurriedly helped Hong Rong'er out of the car, stepped forward one by one, greeted Chen Yingying and them cordially, and then took them to the backyard.

Not long after the family entered the backyard, Zhang Bin had not finished allocating the bedroom, and a group of old mothers carried clothes, bedding, toiletries, basins, buckets and other things at the back door.

Zhang Bin was holding Xiao Zhang Yang to arrange a bedroom for others, and Xiao Zhang Xiang over there had been woken up by a noisy sound, she turned her little head to look around, and when she saw Zhang Bin and Xiao Zhang Yang not far away, she waved her hand in Qi Fanghua's arms and shouted: "Dad, Yangyang." ”

Zhang Bin ran over excitedly with his son in his arms, kissing and teasing, and his face was smiling like a flower.

Children are very active, Xiao Zhang Xiang is naturally no exception, she "chatted" with Zhang Bin in Qi Fanghua's arms for a while, and then began to writhe vigorously, shouting to go down to the ground to play, Qi Fanghua looked at the busy scene in the backyard, for fear that she would be bumped and touched, but she refused to let it, this time Xiao Zhang Xiang was not happy, holding her mouth, she was about to cry, and Xiao Zhang Yang in Zhang Bin's arms also made trouble with this sister.

When Zhang Bin saw this, he hurriedly coaxed: "Oh, don't cry, don't cry, let's go to the backyard to play, let's go to the backyard to play." ”

After that, he glanced at Qi Fanghua, hugged Zhang Yang and walked to the back door.

Qi Fanghua followed behind and said curiously: "Isn't this the backyard?" ”

Zhang Bin said mysteriously: "You will know if you follow me." ”

When Qi Fanghua heard this, she could only hold her daughter and follow, and when she walked out the back door, she couldn't help but be stunned, there was a large garden of hundreds of acres behind her!

Although it was winter, the garden was full of plum blossoms, magnolias, camellias, and some unnamed flowers, and the whole garden seemed to be in spring.

Zhang Bin saw Qi Fanghua's surprised expression, and couldn't help but be secretly proud in his heart, these flowers were transplanted from Nanyuan and other places at a great price, and there were not many flowers that bloomed in winter, and he didn't know how much effort it took to fill these hundreds of acres of gardens, but he took the trouble to do it, and he has been busy with this during this time, so he can celebrate the New Year happily after his family moves over.

There were originally several large ponds here, and it was precisely because there were large ponds here that could not build houses, so this place has been deserted, and even nearby people have used this place as a garbage heap, and all kinds of garbage were thrown everywhere, Zhang Bin heard about this situation, and simply ordered Zhao Ru to find someone to clean up this piece of garbage, and built a circle of walls, and then built pavilions and pavilions in it, and transplanted countless flowers and trees, and directly built a beautiful big garden.

This can be said to be the safest, all around are the elite of the special operations battalion, only one door is opened in each direction, and there are people guarding it for twelve hours, no one can enter without Zhang Bin's permission, so he thought about bringing his two children to play here.

When Xiao Zhang Xiang and Xiao Zhang Yang came here, they were really excited, just like a monkey climbing a tree, kicking their legs in Qi Fanghua and Zhang Bin's arms, and couldn't wait to get off the ground to play.

Qi Fanghua looked around, at this time, there were some carriages transporting household goods and daily necessities on the periphery, but there was no one in the middle of the garden, so she squatted down and put Xiao Zhang Xiang on the ground and let her play.

Xiao Zhang Xiang is really good to her younger brother, she didn't run away immediately after she got off the ground, but ran to Zhang Bin, jumping and jumping, and shouted vigorously: "Yangyang, Yangyang, come down, my sister will take you to play." ”

Zhang Yang also wanted to jump down for a long time, but he was held by people and couldn't get off the ground, Zhang Bin saw his anxious appearance, so he could only reluctantly squat down, put him on the ground, let Xiao Zhang Xiang lead him, and scurry around in the garden, while Zhang Bin and Qi Fanghua followed carefully behind, for fear that they would accidentally fall down and fall into the water again.

Just as the two siblings were having fun, Huang suddenly pulled Sun Biao and ran in from the gate on the south side of the garden, looking anxious, as if he had lost something.

When she saw the young brother playing in the flowers, her face suddenly smiled, she actually lifted the hem of her skirt and ran directly to this side, and cheered as she ran: "Xiangxiang, Yangyang, my little liver, grandma is here." ”

In this posture, the frightened Sun Biao hurriedly followed closely behind, stretching out his hands to protect her behind, for fear that she would accidentally step on her skirt and fall on her back.

Xiao Zhang Xiang and Xiao Zhang Yang were also very happy when they heard their grandmother's call, and ran to Huang's side with their hands, so that Zhang Bin and Qi Fanghua were also so frightened that they hurriedly followed, for fear that they would fall.

Fortunately, the road in the middle of this garden was already smooth, and a layer of smooth bluestone slabs was pounced, and nothing stumbled at all, and the three of them ran all the way without falling.

Huang's was so excited that he ran to Xiao Zhang Xiang and Xiao Zhang Yang and couldn't take any breath, squatted on the ground and held the two lovely granddaughters and grandsons in his arms, kissed and kissed, and his mouth was about to smile crookedly.

Seeing this scene, Sun Biao couldn't help but look at Zhang Bin embarrassedly, it stands to reason that he shouldn't have run in, because this garden was specially built by Zhang Bin for his family, and moving today is an exception, but those who moved were just walking on the stone roads on the periphery, and none of them dared to come to the middle, but he ran to the middle because he was worried about the Huang family.

Zhang Bin didn't mean to blame him at all, but patted him on the shoulder and said, "Biaozi, I'm sorry for you, you go back first, let's just watch it here." ”

Sun Biao hurriedly retreated, but the Huang family played with his grandchildren as if no one was around, and directly treated Zhang Bin and Qi Fanghua as air.

Zhang Bin and Qi Fanghua snuggled together, looking at their grandchildren playing among the flowers, and couldn't help but show a happy smile on their faces.

At this time, the entire periphery of Zhang Bin's mansion, Banqiao Hutong, Shibei Hutong, and Yumajie Hutong, were full of carriages, constantly converging in the middle, and Zhang Bin's family finally moved to a new home.
