"What do you say?" Manager Liu asked playfully.

"The Ye family now has a rich background, and with the brothers living together, they have always wanted to change to a big garden. Last spring, the Ye family bought a piece of land on the edge of the Yongming Canal, and set up Zhan Yuan. As a result, the governor of Yicheng, Peng Detian, said that he wanted his mother to come to Yicheng to support the elderly, and said that he moved the Ye family to sell Zhanyuan to him. Although this garden is not large, the houses are exquisite and the courtyard is beautiful. Then there is Xunfeng Pavilion, 10,000 taels of gold, but the proprietor of my house still boasted again and again about the value of the garden bought by the owner. Last autumn, the young master of the Ye family drew a pattern, and the elder brother of the Ye family supervised the construction of Jiwu Heights Villa in Jiangbei, and originally planned to move in in the winter, but the Jiangbei Naval Governor Min Yuemin said that he liked the name of the villa, and said that the Ye family wanted to do business and it was inconvenient to travel between the two sides of the strait every day, and finally even said that Xu Peng Lai, Xu Du Jialai would not allow him to rely on him once? Lord Min sent troops to stuff the gold into the Ye family, and he lived in it first, and the young master of the Ye family wanted to find Lord Min to theorize, but Lord Min kept laughing, just refused to move out, and later had to approve the deal. ”

Speaking of this, both Miss and Manager Liu laughed uncontrollably. It should be very interesting to imagine the aggrieved but helpless face of a 14-year-old genius boy. And that Min Yue, who is also a high-ranking military attache of the second grade, and a powerful figure of the Min family, is actually such a scoundrel, if these things spread in the capital, I don't know how many people will be shocked.

I only heard the shopkeeper continue: "Since last autumn, the young master of the Ye family and the entire Ye family's workshop have been helping the old man of the Qi family build a house. The house is in the south of the city, the scale is large, and the money is flowing water. Especially on the sea under the headland, there is a very small wharf, which also fits the identity of the old man who has been living at sea for fifty years. It is said that there are no less than 1,000 stone carvings and wood carvings alone, and when the old man Qi looked at those patterns, he burst into tears, and praised the young master of the Ye family for understanding the sea and understanding him. This house is called Guantao Pavilion, and I think it should be completed next month. …… The young master of the Ye family bought Yanjing Mountain in the south of the city a while ago, and set up 9 large and small gardens on the mountain in a row, preparing to live with his brothers and sisters. The courtyard was connected by a jade-like bluestone road, and the entire Yanjing Mountain was created by the young master of the Ye family into a large garden, named Qingquan Village. Especially the house on the top of the mountain, it should be on the tuyere, but it is a gentle breeze. What's even better is that the location, watching the sea, the tide, the clouds, the birds, the sun, and the fog are all in the best position. There is a mountain spring in the front yard, and the back mountain is a variety of fruit trees, and the monkeys in the mountains also like to use monkey brewing to exchange all kinds of food from the house, and the temper is very gentle, and they also like to play with children. Those brothers and sisters of the Ye family were assigned to the house, but they all lived in it, and they lived very comfortably, only this best house is now being occupied by the old man of the Qi family, what to say, when will his house be built and when will it be returned to the young master of the Ye family. Actually, it was the old man of the Qi family who was vindictive. He took out 100,000 taels of gold and wanted to buy the house, but the young master of the Ye family would definitely refuse, and even the old man of the Qi family had to play a trick. ”

The shopkeeper's words were very vivid and interesting, which made Miss and Manager Liu very happy. Even the maids who were waiting on the side covered their mouths and laughed.

"What kind of house, you refuse to sell 100,000 taels of gold?" If Manager Liu is a little unbelievable, it is better to say that he took the initiative to ask questions, so that the young lady's doubts can be explained.

The shopkeeper leaned and said, "This little old man doesn't know either." However, the two distinguished guests came from the capital, if they only knew that the furniture in Ye's workshop was rich and luxurious, it was probably not enough to know the goodness of Ye's. The furniture patterns of the Ye family are all from the handwriting of the young master of the Ye family, and the little old man once heard the words of the young master of the Ye family from the mouth of the young owner, which is probably able to answer the questions of the honored guests. The young master of the Ye family once said that except for the living room, everything else is his own, no need to put on a show, no need to care whether others are used to seeing it or not, only to live comfortably. The chairs, tables and beds in Yip's workshop that don't look like elegant are the most comfortable. Many of the wealthy families in Yicheng openly put out a set of furniture that looked magnificent, but what they used privately was the best and most comfortable furniture of the Ye family. The little young master of the Ye family has hollowed out the mansion he built for himself, and it is clearly placed on the top of the mountain that it is not a place to receive guests, and how comfortable it is, it is not something I can speculate about. ”

These few sentences make a lot of sense. There are many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and it is inevitable to pay attention to pomp and circumstance at home, but they rarely consider whether their own homes are suitable and whether they are comfortable. Most people just think that the hall is gorgeously furnished, and they are used to living anyway, and the question of comfort or discomfort is put aside and not mentioned.

The shopkeeper said funny things bits and pieces, time flies, and after a while, Du Fengchi, the young owner of Linjiang Building, has come. Du Fengchi looked like he was twenty-four or five years old, wearing a blue-gray silk shirt, and he looked extremely capable. Du Fengchi listened to the shopkeeper's slight introduction at the staircase, and was slightly stunned when he heard that the current group of people had not revealed their identities. The Du family was born in a maritime businessman and took root in Yicheng, but what he has done over the years is the business of restaurants and inns. Du Fengchi has traveled from south to north and has a wide range of experience, how could he not see that those guards are very skilled. Seeing that the guards downstairs had finished eating, but since the master was upstairs, they were waiting, and they all ordered a few pots of tea, and set up a "marching chess" while drinking tea. Although it attracted a lot of casual battles in the restaurant, the guards themselves were very quiet. This discipline, as well as the characteristics of liking marching chess, I am afraid that only a few forbidden armies in the capital have such pomp and circumstance. It is not taboo for the forbidden army to go out of Beijing, but who are they guarding? The girl who looks weak and seems to be blown down by the wind, where is it sacred?

Du Fengchi didn't dare to be abrupt, so he bowed his hand to the two guards from a distance and said, "I'm tired of the two of you, Du Fengchi asks to see you." "The shopkeeper can approach because he is the one who is waiting, but Du Fengchi came to see him officially, and Du Fengchi did not dare to ignore the difference between this. If you rush forward because you have a good conversation with them just now, you will only leave a bad impression on the other party.

Manager Liu greeted him from behind the screen and said, "Young Master of the Du family, please." He led Du Fengchi to the back of the screen, and let Du Fengchi sit in the position he had just now, while he himself stood behind the young lady. The position opposite the young lady, Du Fengchi is not qualified to sit. Du Fengchi only felt that the other party was unfathomable, and he didn't dare to care about the other party's evaluation of his identity, so he asked respectfully: "I haven't asked Miss how to call her." ”

Manager Liu looked at Miss and saw that she nodded slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Zhuo's surname is Zhuo." ”

Profound? This is not a big surname in Dongping Country, and the family that can have this pomp and circumstance is probably only the current Dongping Country President President Ma, the great general Zhuo Mang's family. Zhuo Mang's sister Zhuo Xiu is the queen of Dongping, and Zhuo Mang has been guarding the northern Xinjiang for more than 10 years with Tan Wenpei, the current lord of Dongping, and they have a big friendship with the knife.

Du Fengchi immediately felt that the other party still let him sit down, which was really polite and looked up to himself. He didn't dare to ask more, and said, "It's an honor for Miss Zhuo to be willing to stay in Xunfeng Pavilion. Karukaze Pavilion has been cleaning since last month, and it is ready to move in. It's just that the lotus pond has not yet become a scene, and the lotus pod is green, which is inevitably a little unsightly. Please forgive me. ”

Miss Zhuo bowed her head slightly and said, "This is the time of day, how can I force it." The Du family was hospitable, and the little woman also wanted to see the beautiful scenery of Xunfeng Pavilion, so please forgive me for the disturbances. ”

Du Fengchi and Miss Zhuo said a few polite words, and introduced Xunfeng Pavilion, just when he wanted to simply send Miss Zhuo and her party all the way to Xunfeng Pavilion, a guy ran upstairs slowly, seeing that Du Fengchi was answering with Miss Zhuo, looking anxious.

"Du Gongzi, don't delay your business. Just find a guy to take us there. Miss Zhuo pointed to the guy at the top of the stairs and said.

Du Fengchi bowed slightly and apologized, and after walking over and talking to the guy, his face changed. He walked to Miss Zhuo's side again, and said with a long sigh: "Xiaosheng should have sent Miss all the way to Xunfeng Pavilion, but if a friend has something, please forgive Miss." ”

Miss Zhuo smiled and said, "Du Gongzi can do his best." ”
