"Lord Qin, Zhang Deli of the lowly Internal Affairs Office has seen Lord Jiedu."

People who come to look at the clothes should be low-level officials of the empire, this identity may be a figure in other cities, but it is simply not worth mentioning in the imperial capital, which means that it is a dozen miscellaneous clerks.

"Oh, Lord Zhang is very polite." Qin Duan replied kindly.

"The humble duty is to take you to see the mansion given to you by His Majesty the Emperor, I wonder if you are free at this time?" Zhang Deli of Bapin Costume asked respectfully with a humble face.

Qin Duan, the efficiency of the internal affairs office in this line is really high, he just went out, and he was already waiting here, "Okay, you lead the way in front." ”

When the group came to the eastern section of Guihu Avenue, Qin Duan found that this place was not too far from the Imperial Military Academy, and it was also on the same street as the residence of his cheap old man, Duke Li Shaoqin, but Duke Li Shaoqin's residence was in the western section, and it was still quite far from the mansion given to Qin Duan.

Walking into the courtyard of the mansion, Qin Duan almost immediately fell in love with this courtyard, the geographical location is at the end of the eastern section, the environment is very elegant, it seems that there are some poets and scholars around, and the situation is very different from the situation where Duke Li Shaoqin, who is located in the western section, is full of wealthy families. The compound is divided into three layers, and it is a courtyard with a strong atmosphere of the Great Qin people.

After entering the gatehouse, it is the first weight, which should be the residence of the servants of the subordinates, the area is very large, but it is simple and simple, and the wings on both sides are arranged in a neat and orderly manner. Near the side of the gate, there is a side road leading to the east side yard, which is a side yard where vehicles and horses are parked, enough to park more than three or five carriages, the stables are clean and tidy, but no one has cleaned them for many years, and it looks a little dilapidated. In the middle of the outer courtyard, a banyan tree that was difficult for three people to hold stood in it, and probably no one came in. A lot of dead branches and leaves fell to the ground scattered.

After passing through the gate of the outer courtyard, you will enter the middle courtyard, the area of the middle courtyard is smaller, it seems more compact, the color of the rooms on both sides is much brighter and brighter than the outer courtyard, especially there is a small pond in the courtyard. A few remnants of the lotus stand in the water, a small bridge crosses the pond, the corridors on both sides twist and turn, it looks particularly elegant, this courtyard is generally the maid maid and other female servants live, a small door on the left leads to the small courtyard next to it, it should be the laundry room and kitchen, and the corridor on the right leads to the west side courtyard, which is the guest room.

Walk through the main entrance of the middle courtyard and enter the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is very spacious, facing the main living room, a row of swarthy carved wooden chairs has been covered with a lot of dust and spider silk, and a delicately framed calligraphy and painting on the wall next to it is still hanging on it. To the east of the main living room is a small reception room, next to which is a large study. To the west, through a small door. It is the residence of the inner family, and a winding corridor connects five or six small courtyards. It is where the master's wife and concubines and minor children live.

Behind the main house is a chic small garden, a few ancient trees, a small pavilion, but no one has been managing it for a long time, overgrown with weeds, shivering in the cold wind.

After taking Qin Dui to visit. The little official surnamed Zhang secretly observed Qin Dui's face, and saw that Qin Dui was very satisfied, and he was secretly happy in his heart, Qin Dui immediately politely declined the mention of his help in recruiting servants and subordinates, but generously gave him a reward of thirty taels of silver. He was so grateful that he went.

Before leaving, he also told Qin Dui what he needed, although he asked someone to recruit him at the Internal Affairs Office, he was on call, Qin Dui also felt that this person was quite interesting, and agreed to him with a smile.

After Zhang Deli left, Qin Duan sent someone to pick up Wei Xianxian and Master Li to take a good walk around the house, and then went out satisfied. The second daughter also likes this mansion very much, especially the elegant and quiet environment of the inner courtyard, the spacious and independent small courtyard, the exquisite and chic small garden at the back, and even the small forest in the garden, which have won the love of the second daughter.

The eastern part of the imperial capital is a famous business district and entertainment district, there is a famous big market in the middle of Cathay Avenue to the north, the market is lined with huge luxury shops, the strange thing is that although the shops are luxurious and rich, but there are only some soft chairs and brocade stools, and there are no other goods, some beautifully dressed servants stand at the door, but do not greet the guests, only when the guests step into the store, these servants will be enthusiastic to greet the front.

None of these shops have signs hanging outside, but everyone in the imperial capital knows that every shop here is engaged in the same industry, and this is the most famous slave market in the imperial capital.

Qin Dui and his entourage who came here were a little flustered, although Qin Dui had been in the capital for a while, but he had no time to set foot in these places, he only knew that this was a famous slave market in the imperial capital, and he planned to buy a few slaves here to go back to serve as miscellaneous servants, but he didn't expect to come here and find that there were many shops, and he didn't know where to start, and he couldn't help but regret that he should leave that Zhang Deli and let him lead the way for himself and act as a staff officer.

Wei and Li Ernu have never been to this kind of place, not to mention the guards who followed behind, they were all from lower-class families, and they were promoted to Qin Dui's guards after following Qin Dui's bloody battle, where had they seen these scenes. Just as he was hesitating, there was a call behind him: "Lord Qin, Lord Qin!" ”

Qin Duan was a little strange, could it be that he walked to the door of this slave mall and met acquaintances? I've just entered the imperial capital!

Turning his head, he saw a luxurious four-wheeled carriage that had been quietly parked beside him, just from the skill of the emperor, he knew that the passengers on the car were by no means ordinary people, and several guards who followed him had already turned over and dismounted, one of them walked to the side of the wheel, gently pulled the car door, and a thin monkey-like old man slowly walked down from the car.

When Qin Duan saw it, he was about to say hello, when a luxurious carriage braked next to him, and even a few guards around him became vigilant, worried about some accidents. Qin Dusk, this carriage came abruptly, could it be that he also came to find himself?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door had opened automatically, and it turned out that there was a mechanism designed on the door of this carriage, and the door would open automatically with a slight pull. A middle-aged businessman jumped out of the car, with a smile on his face, and rushed to meet the thin monkey-like old man, holding Qin Du's hand tightly, "Oh, Lord Qin, you have worked so hard to find me, fortunately, I am well-informed, and I finally found you here." ”

The thin old man next to him turned pale with anger, and said angrily: "Gong Renquan, why are you so rude, didn't you see the old man meet Lord Qin first?" ”

With a pout, the middle-aged businessman smiled and said, "Boss Wan, I'm sorry for you today, you see, it was the junior brother who met Lord Qin first, right?" You'd better catch up with tomorrow, please be early! (To be continued......)
