Xiangyang, since the Han Dynasty, is a well-known ancient city. Not to mention before the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms period alone was already famous for its scholars.

In the mansion of the king of Xiangyang County, Shuang'er, the lord of Xiangyang County, with a gloomy face, was sitting in the gazebo in the back garden in a daze at the moment, his eyes were distracted, his expression was dull, and his right hand was holding his chin. At first glance, it looks like he is preoccupied. Yes, the time to leave Qin Xuan is still continuous, and some time ago, when I heard that Qin Xuan had returned to Chang'an, Shuang'er missed it more and more.

Shuang'er and Qin Xuan met, and the time is not too long, and the time to get along day and night is even less, but for a young lady who was born in a big mansion and grew up in a wealthy family, how can there be many people in contact, and the men she meets are not sleeping and flattering, they are pedantic and old-fashioned, and Qin Xuan must be in heaven and earth, and it is impossible to imagine.

The breeze passed, and there was a burst of fragrance, but Shuang'er still didn't make any moves, still thinking about his husband stupidly.

"Frost!"

A deep voice came, and then a richly dressed old man walked in through the round arch with the support of two maids.

A slight smile appeared on the corner of Frost's mouth, just because she remembered someone's smile.

The old man got closer and closer to Frost, and then shouted again. "Frost, why are you in a daze here again!"

This frost was finally heard, and a stirring spirit came back to his senses, saw the old man, and hurriedly got up to help the old man. "Grandpa, why are you here again?"

Yes, this old man is the king of Xiangyang County, the king of the county is not young, and he learned from Shuang'er's mouth that the pearl in his palm was actually taken away by the kid named Qin Xuan, and he was so angry that he almost didn't set himself on fire.

This is still Shuang'er didn't tell the truth, if it was said that Qin Xuan not only took away his heart, but also took away his body, then the king of the county was afraid that at that time, he would run to Limo with a big knife and tell Qin Xuan to hack to death.

"Shuang'er, you're embarrassed to say grandpa. Look at you, do you still want to be a county lord now? Isn't it just a literati, and there are still few knowledgeable people in our Datang? Not to mention other places, we have a basket in Xiangyang alone. ”

The county king's voice just fell. Shuang'er didn't agree, and blurted out: "A basket, can your basket be compared to Qin Xuan, your basket can't be compared!" Hum! ”

Seeing that his beloved granddaughter was already a little unhappy, the king of the county smiled and compromised: "Okay, it's just that Qin Xuan is a talent!" ”

Shuang'er was a little overjoyed, but unexpectedly, the county king said another sentence leisurely, and almost didn't blow up Shuang'er. "Hey. It's just that people don't like you! ”

"Who said it, he likes me, he will come to Xiangyang to propose, if you don't believe it, you wait!"

Seeing the frost is a little more real. The king of the county did not continue to be angry with Shuang'er, and said lightly: "Okay, well, he will come, since he will come, then what are you doing with a sad face every day?" In case that kid comes and sees you looking so ugly, he doesn't like you. What can I do? ”

Shuang'er frowned, pouted, and glared at the county king. "Okay, grandpa, don't talk about him, anyway, even if I have to wait for him. Whether he comes or not, wait a year or two, if he doesn't come, I'll go to Chang'an to find him, I want to see if he has a long ability! ”

Hear this. The king's eyes lit up, heh, it seems that my granddaughter's status in front of that kid is not low, but she has not insulted the perfect royal style!

At this time, the carriage of Qin Xuan and his party finally came to Xiangyang City. Xiangyang belongs to the south, and it is close to the Yangtze River, which can be described as a place that extends in all directions, and it is worthy of being a place where soldiers must fight. If you occupy this Xiangyang, cross the river to the south of Huainan, and invade Changsha in the south, Yizhou in the west and Jiangnan in the east. It is no wonder that Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan set their sights on Jingzhou back then.

Qin Xuan looked around at Xiangyang City, and felt that his trip was not worth it, and the customs of Xiangyang were still good.

Suddenly, Xing Honglin, who was driving the car, frowned. "Childe, let's go find the inn first, and I saw a crowd on the street just now, do you need to know what happened! Shall we join in the fun? ”

Qin Xuan, who was lifting the curtain to look at Xiangyang, was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's find the inn first, and then let's go and join in the fun!" ”

Zhang Lao on the side, followed Qin Xuan to Chang'an, and he was not very suitable for coming to Xiangyang at all, only to find that Xiangyang was similar to Guangling, very suitable for living, and said casually: "Zhihao, I look at Xiangyang very well, why don't we live in Xiangyang, and don't go to Limo in a barren land!" ”

Qin Xuan couldn't help but be a little surprised, he didn't expect Zhang Lao to say that Limo was a barren land until now. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Rui on the side also spoke. "Uncle, I think it's the same, grandpa is old, and if he goes west out of Yangguan, I'm worried about my grandfather's body."

Regarding Qin Xuan's going to live in Limo, Zhang Lao and Qin Xuan had already talked about it, but Qin Xuan felt that he had offended Wu Zetian, if Zhang Lao and Rui'er didn't follow him to Limo, they were afraid that Wu Zetian, who would repay the flaws, would hold a grudge and poison him.

Seeing Qin Xuan's hesitation, Zhang Lao continued: "Zhihao, I understand your intentions, but I am already old, and I can still have a few more years to live, if I leave Datang, I will really have some homeland to leave." ”

"This ......" Qin Xuan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay, uncle, let's take a look at Xiangyang first, if we can find a good place, I will listen to my uncle!" ”

Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Zhang Lao nodded with satisfaction. In fact, this is really not obedient old man, after all, an old man is an old man, and it doesn't matter if he floats around with you Qin Xuan, in the end, you still want people to follow you to drift abroad!

When the three of them were chatting, Xing Honglin had already driven the carriage to an inn, this inn, the name is Yuelai Inn, Qin Xuan At first glance, there was still a hint of familiarity, but it was only Qin Xuan who had such a feeling, and when others saw Qin Xuan, they would only think that Qin Xuan was smiling because this inn was not bad, of course, they would not think that Qin Xuan would feel familiar with Yuelai Inn.

Xing Honglin went to the backyard with a junior to set up the carriage, while Qin Xuan and the others went directly into the inn and sat in the hall, ready to eat something.

I don't know what Xiangyang wants to say the most and what is the most famous, but if you need to say what to eat more, then I can only say fish. Seeing the fish-based dishes, Qin Xuan couldn't help but say in his heart: "No wonder." It is said that there are many junjie in Jingzhou, Jiangnan, can this damn delicious fish be stupid? ”

In fact, this is also a guess by Qin Xuan, and there is really no basis. However, all kinds of fish in Xiangyang are really good, especially Zhang Lao and Rui'er, these two don't know if they want to use this to persuade Qin Xuan to buy a family business here, or what they want to do, anyway, they always praise the fish for being good and delicious. Of course, Xing Honglin, a northern man, also thinks it is delicious.

The inn is really good, and there is a storyteller, a small table. On a small wooden platform half a foot high, a scholar in a robe was concentrating on some stories, history, or something on it.

Qin Xuan ate something, and then he lost his appetite. I guess it's because of the long journey. When I calmed down, I heard the storyteller's words. It seems to be the story of Li Shimin's crusade to the west. Qin Xuan listened to a paragraph, and said secretly in his heart: "I didn't expect this, is this Li Shimin's propaganda work not bad!" ”

After listening to this for more than a quarter of an hour, suddenly the storyteller listened, held a handful of startling wood, and knocked it with a bang. Crisp voice: "I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan smiled and said casually: "This sentence is quite interesting!" "Actually, what Qin Xuan wants to say is that this sentence is really fucking familiar. I didn't expect someone to say it at this time!

Immediately afterwards, the storyteller, drank a glass of water, and said: "In the south of Xiangyang City, a manor has recently been shot. The manor has beautiful buildings, pavilions and small pavilions, green trees and clear water, which can be regarded as a good place to study! ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he was surprised in his heart: "I'll wipe it, what's the situation, this person still knows about advertising?" It can't be from time in time! ”

And Zhang Lao on the side, when he heard this, he was not surprised, but more joyful, only to see Zhang Lao say to Qin Xuan: "Zhihao, listen to what that gentleman said, that manor is not bad, why don't we buy it!" ”

Qin Xuan heard it, heh, this is good, I didn't expect to listen to a book, and I could hear that something was wrong. However, Qin Xuan did not mean to disobey Zhang Lao, he immediately got up, stepped forward, and gave a salute to the storyteller who was still resting, and said: "This gentleman, when I first came to your land from Chang'an, I don't know how the manor Mr. said?" ”

As soon as the storyteller heard Qin Xuan's intention, he immediately replied and said, "This son, wait a while!" After speaking, I saw the storyteller, who made a gesture to the hall and said, "Everyone, when the next business comes to the door, I will say goodbye first!" ”

The guests in the hall were also enlightened, and they were not angry because the storyteller left before he finished the story, and they all smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations to Brother Jiang, congratulations to Brother Jiang!" ”

The storyteller known as Brother Jiang greeted the guests one by one, and Qin Xuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, how can this person have a level, knowing that these listeners are his own food and clothing parents, and he also knows that he has a good relationship, if this is in the future life, he will definitely be a salesman, or a promoter.

After the storyteller finished greeting those listeners, Qin Xuan and the others followed the storyteller surnamed Jiang out of the inn and went to the south of the city.

The group sat in Qin Xuan's carriage and headed towards Chengnan Manor, and Qin Xuan also knew the name of the storyteller, which was Jiangxi Cheng. After hearing this name, Qin Xuan couldn't help but slander in his heart: "Jiangxi Cheng? Where is there enough in Xicheng, in my opinion, you should be called Jiang Xiangyang, what a magnificent name, the whole Xiangyang is under your control, whoever sells a house or buys a house, you have to find Jiang Xiangyang! ”

Of course, Jiang Cheng didn't know that Qin Xuan, who had a harmless smile on his face, was teasing himself in his heart, and he was also smiling vigorously and introducing the manor to Qin Xuan!

It was probably more than half an hour later, Qin Xuan and his party finally came to the manor in the south of the city, and after learning who the owner of this manor was, Qin Xuan almost didn't lose his breath. It turned out that this storyteller Jiangxi Cheng was also a big family, who had been in business for generations, and when it was passed on to Jiangxi Cheng's father's generation, he could be regarded as a mixed appearance and built such a luxurious manor in Xiangyang City.

However, the good times didn't last long, this old man Jiang was really hard, after a good manor was built, he didn't have time to live for a day and died, and when he left, he didn't finish his last words, only said that this manor was left to his two sons, Jiangxi Cheng and Jiang Dongcheng.

The back is gone, and poor Jiangxi Cheng is dedicated to studying. Without a business mind, the shops left by his father were occupied by his brother Jiang Dongcheng, and Jiangxi Cheng's only reliance fell on this manor. But Jiang Dongcheng didn't want to, the old man said at the time that the manor was left to the two of them. How can you let Jiangxi Cheng live alone.

Because of this incident, the two brothers turned against each other, and in the end, Jiang Dongcheng was angry and wanted to sell the manor, and Jiangxi Cheng couldn't fight his brother Jiang Dongcheng, so he had to swallow his anger and look for a buyer.

Jiangxi Cheng lives at his friend's house every day, and then he can survive by telling stories at Yuelai Inn. However, when I thought of my brother Jiang Dongcheng's approach. Jiangxi Cheng has an urge to leave Xiangyang, after all, being pointed at is really not something that a man can bear.

Today, I don't know how many times Jiangxi Cheng said about selling the manor at Yuelai Inn, but the people in Xiangyang have some interests with his brother Jiang Dongcheng, and they don't want to offend Jiangxi Cheng. Therefore, the manor has not been able to sell for a long time.

Today, I happened to meet Qin Xuan and others, and it can be regarded as Jiangxi Cheng's hard work, otherwise Jiangxi Cheng would not be so excited, with a smile on his face.

There is no one in the manor now, Qin Xuan waited for the manor, and Jiang Dongcheng, Jiangxi Cheng's elder brother, got the news. He was also worried that his younger brother Jiangxi Chengcheng would sell the manor to others, and he didn't know the news, so he hurried over.

Seeing Qin Xuan, Jiang Dongcheng looked arrogant, and said disdainfully: "Heh, is this son going to buy our family's manor?" ”

Qin Xuan listened to Jiang Dongcheng's tone. I wasn't very happy in my heart, but Qin Xuan had already learned about Jiang Dongcheng's matter, so naturally he wouldn't break up in two, after all, Qin Xuan bought that manor, and he also bought it. It's better to help Jiangxi Cheng. So, Qin Xuan smiled slightly: "Yes, I really fell in love with your manor, I don't know how to sell it?" ”

As soon as he heard that Qin Xuan hadn't even entered the door of the manor, he said that he wanted to buy the manor, Jiang Dongcheng was even more optimistic about Qin Xuan, snorted coldly, and said, "Do you know about the manor here?" I advise Gongzi to inquire about this manor! ”

Jiang Dongcheng's words were obviously hinting at Qin Xuan, you'd better ask, who dares to buy my family's manor?

However, Qin Xuan didn't eat him at all, not to mention that he already knew this, he just didn't know, if Qin Xuan liked it, he would buy it, after all, he still had a cheap old man in Xiangyang, and he was also the king of Xiangyang County.

"Well, this one!" Qin Xuan hesitated slightly, and then said, "You better make a price!" ”

Jiang Dongcheng couldn't help but be a little depressed, this stupid boy came from there, why did he dare to say that he wanted it without knowing anything? However, Jiangxi Cheng was still on the side, this is, and immediately said: "Let's set it according to the market price of our Xiangyang, it's 10,000 taels of silver!" ”

The price of Jiangxi Chengkai is not low, after all, if you buy a manor as big as this one in Xiangyang, it will only cost seven or eight thousand taels of silver! The reason why Jiangxi Cheng opened such a high price was also because of Jiang Dongcheng's willingness, because Jiang Dongcheng said at the time that this manor would be sold for 10,000 taels of silver.

After listening to Jiang Cheng's words, Jiang Dongcheng also smiled slightly, and said: "Yes, the manor here, 10,000 taels of silver, can you afford it?" ”

Originally, because of Qin Xuan's estimation of this price, he wanted to refuse, but after listening to Jiang Dongcheng's words, Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little impulsive, and almost agreed. However, after all, Qin Xuan has been in the officialdom for so long, and his temperament has almost worn out.

Seeing that Qin Xuan kept smiling but didn't speak, Jiang Dongcheng became a little bored, and immediately said: "Forget if you don't have any money, Master Ben doesn't have all this idle time to spend with you here!" ”

Before the words fell, Qin Xuan said leisurely: "That's it, then it's decided!" But ......"

As soon as he heard Qin Xuan say a "but", Jiang Dongcheng sneered, but unexpectedly, Qin Xuan continued: "However, I didn't bring so much silver with me, I don't know how the gold is?" ”

Jiang Dongcheng had already defined Qin Xuan as a person who had no money, and he was not ambiguous, so he immediately said: "Gold is okay, just one hundred taels!" ”

Qin Xuan smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Xing Honglin, and said softly, "Honglin, go and prepare!" Then he said to Jiang Dongcheng: "What about the title deed? ”

Jiang Dongcheng was immediately stunned, what, this is a hundred taels of gold, why did this kid agree without even blinking his eyes. If Jiang Dongcheng knew that when Qin Xuan was in Limokeng, he was all 11,000 gold, he wouldn't have thought so.

"This ...... Do you really want to buy it? ”

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Qin Xuan frowned slightly and asked, "En?" What do you mean, aren't you two brothers going to sell? ”

Jiangxi Cheng waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no." Sell, how not sell! ”

Even Jiang Dongcheng on the side was a little moved, and said, "Sell, you wait." I'm going to get the title deed, and Jiangxi Cheng also excitedly took out half of the title deed from his arms! ”

Qin Xuan looked at it, frowned and asked, "What do you mean, you two brothers, one person and a half land deed?" ”

Jiang Cheng nodded helplessly and said, "Hey, yes, only in this way can the two of us deal with each other with confidence!" ”

Qin Xuan couldn't help laughing, and said in his heart: "These two brothers are really true. Isn't it just a hundred taels of gold, how can it still make such a fuss! ”

Perhaps guessing what Qin Xuan was thinking, Jiang Cheng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Let Qin Gongzi see it, I just want to find a place to study." And the brother Jiang Dongcheng wants to occupy the family property! ”

Jiang Dongcheng on the side just sent his subordinates home to get the land deed, and when he heard Jiang Cheng's words, he was immediately unhappy, and said coldly: "Jiangxi Cheng, you don't talk nonsense here!" ”

"You!" Jiangxi Cheng turned around suddenly, pointed at Jiang Dongcheng, and said viciously: "Okay, good." Once this matter is over, you and I will have nothing to do with it! ”

"Who wants to have anything to do with you, you don't have to climb high branches here!"

Jiang Dongcheng's words really opened Qin Xuan's eyes, he is really a ruthless person! Looking up and looking at Jiang Dongcheng carefully, his complexion turned pale. Slightly fat, with angular cheeks, it looks good-looking, but when I think of this guy for the sake of family property, he can make trouble with his younger brother like this. Qin Xuan remembered a classic sentence again: It's really not good-looking, and the sea water can't be scooped.

It didn't take long for the subordinate who had just left to rush back out of breath and handed Jiang Dongcheng half a title deed, Jiang Dongcheng's expression was still the same as that underwhelming look, and he slowly walked up to Qin Xuan and said, "My half of the title deed is worth fifty taels of gold, let's pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!" ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, I wiped it, what does it mean to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, and I don't know if I think it's the black and the astringent will be in the drug business? However, Qin Xuan was also a little reluctant to see this Jiang Dongcheng, and immediately said: "Honglin, give money, collect the land deed!" ”

Xing Honglin bowed slightly to Qin Xuan, then took out fifty taels of gold bricks from the car, and exchanged the half of the title deed from Jiang Dongcheng's hand. On the other side, Jiangxi Cheng had already given the title deed to Qin Xuan just now, and Xing Honglin didn't wait for Qin Xuan to speak, and also gave Jiangxi Cheng fifty taels of gold as promised.

However, Jiang Cheng didn't answer, but bowed deeply to Qin Xuan, and said, "Qin Gongzi, can you take these fifty taels of gold for the time being!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan's heart suddenly stirred, this Jiangxi Cheng is too bold, if what Jiangxi Cheng said just now is the truth, wouldn't he hand over all his net worth and life to himself?

In fact, Qin Xuan thought about it a lot, although Jiangxi Cheng didn't have any business mind, it didn't mean that people were stupid, just Chong Jiang Dongcheng's attitude just now, and Qin Xuan didn't bargain and bought the manor with gold, Qin Xuan's family business is a lot, and if Qin Xuan wants to stay in Xiangyang, he will definitely not use his reputation as a bargaining chip.

When Jiang Dongcheng on the side heard Jiang Cheng's words, he was immediately happy, and said: "Jiangxi Cheng, you can really do it, you might as well give me the money to outsiders, I'm still your brother!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Cheng smiled, and his smile was so cautious that he said for a long time before he said leisurely: "Jiang Dongcheng, I let Qin Gongzi take care of the gold temporarily, just to prevent you, bastard, how can I give you the gold?" ”

"Okay, Jiangxi, it looks like you don't want to stay in Xiangyang!" Jiang Dongcheng's angry face trembled, and he said a cruel word to Jiangxi Cheng, but he was still angry, turned his head to look at Qin Xuan again, and said viciously: "And you, surnamed Qin, I'm not done with you!" ”

Qin Xuan said that after all, if Zhang Lao and Zhang Rui lived in Xiangyang, it would not be a good thing to find an enemy for them for no reason. Xing Honglin on the side was a little angry, and came directly to Jiang Dongcheng with an arrow step, stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Dongcheng's clothes, and lifted Jiang Dongcheng's slightly fat body up with a light lift.

"Jiang Dongcheng, keep your mouth tight, save yourself from causing death!"

Qin Xuan saw that Honglin had done this, and he still wanted to calm the people, but he didn't expect Xing Honglin to directly block the road, and immediately had no idea of calming the people.

"What are you doing, you put me down!" Jiang Dongcheng's clamor is still very arrogant.

And Qin Xuan also walked in front of Jiang Dongcheng and said viciously: "This son is not in the mood to play with you. You'd better keep your eyes open, not everyone you can afford to mess with! After finishing speaking, Qin Xuan said directly to Xing Honglin: "Honglin, drive him away for me!" ”

After Koto Makoto left. Jiang Cheng didn't come back to his senses, seeing Xing Honglin's actions, Jiang Cheng was even more determined that Qin Xuan must have a great background, otherwise he would not have offended a person so carelessly when he just came to Xiangyang, and he was still a person who didn't know the details.

After Jiang Dongcheng left, Qin Xuan smiled directly and said to Jiang Cheng: "Brother Jiang, why don't you accompany us around this manor, after all, you used to be his owner!" ”

Jiang Cheng came back to his senses and hurriedly nodded: "Dare not obey your fate!" ”

Push open the heavy wooden door. Qin Xuan and his party also went in, while Li Qingrui was sent out by Qin Xuan to buy some usual supplies. Of course, Qin Xuan also wanted to leave some slaves and maids for Zhang Lao and Zhang Rui, but this is the matter of buying maids and slaves. It's not like buying it, it will take some time, and Qin Xuan won't embarrass Li Qingrui.

Walk into the main gate, you see a rockery, this ancient people are not inside the gate, there is generally such a thing, not a wall. It's a rockery. This is because in ancient times, people were more superstitious, believing that there were constantly ghosts visiting in the courtyards of the middle and positive houses, and building a wall or a rockery could block the way of ghosts. This is also some unreliable statement. Say that the little ghost will only walk in a straight line and will not turn.

This group of rockeries, surrounded by clear water, is actually a small pond because no one lives there. There are no rain lotus flowers in the pond. The highest stone of the rockery, like an eagle that has been spreading its wings, is entrenched on the intricate small stones at the bottom, and there are several seal characters engraved on it.

Qin Xuan took a general look, and he didn't recognize what the word was, but it looked very charming. Bypassing the rockery, there is another row of rooms, and there is a door in the middle, which should be the so-called second door, and only when you enter the second door can you say that it is the inner courtyard.

Looking at the left and right, there are three rooms on the left and right except for the second door, and there is a row of side rooms on the left and right. It seems that Old Man Jiang should have prepared it for his subordinates or the housekeepers at that time. The wings on both sides and the rooms around the second door are not badly built. The roofs are all red tiles, and the doors and windows are also exquisitely built, with some patterns and animals carved on them. If it's not painted, it should be too late, but there is still a different flavor in the mountains. 、

After a brief look, Qin Xuan led a group of people through the second gate and into the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard is more delicate than the front yard, and the ground is paved with bluestone like the front yard. The only difference is that in the middle of the inner courtyard, next to the bluestone road that leads directly to the main hall, there are symmetrical flower beds, one zhang long, and there are about seven or eight on each side, which can also be seen from this point The size of the inner courtyard.

There are no flowers in the flower beds, but there are some stone fences. At first glance, Qin Xuan couldn't help but feel that this manor was even more luxurious than his mansion in Chang'an. This is actually very understandable, after all, in that place in Chang'an, but every inch of land is gold, no matter how good Xiangyang is, it can't compare to Kyoto.

The main house is very exquisite, with a white wall of water mill, and under the wall are white stone steps. Left and right are symmetrical. There are also stone balustrades. When Qin Xuan saw this, he turned his head and asked Jiang Cheng, and said, "Brother Jiang, I have come all the way, and I have taken a look down, they are all stone railings and stone ground, is it possible that the stones in our Xiangyang are very good?" ”

Jiangxi Cheng said with a smile: "Hehe, Qin Gongzi doesn't know, there are many mountains in the south of Xiangyang, bluestone and white stone are naturally very common, and there are many carvers in Xiangyang and Changsha in the south of Xiangyang." It's Chang'an, and there are not as many stone things as Xiangyang! ”

Qin Xuan nodded thoughtfully, and said in his heart: "That's good, if it's made of wood, maybe in a few years, it will all rot!" ”

The main house should be eight rooms, with two feet of white walls on each side, and a circular arch in the wall. Only the east and west sides also have two rows of wings, which are more elaborate than the front yard construction, similar to the architectural style of the main house, and the materials used are the same.

Walking around the circular arch on the left and walking to the backyard, Qin Xuan's heart was even more satisfied, some trees were planted in the backyard, the ground was full of grass, and a winding path zigzagged through the woods. After a few steps along the winding path, there is a pond with lotus flowers.

At this moment, the sunset has slowly set in the west, the afterglow is swaying all over the ground, and the breeze is swaying the lotus. The blue waves reflected the sunset, so that Qin Xuan couldn't help but want to stand aside and enjoy it quietly.

Jiang Cheng looked at the pond and explained to Qin Xuan on the side: "My father just likes ponds, all when building the manor. The pond that was built first, and the lotus flowers in this pond were also planted by my father at that time. Moreover, when Qin Gongzi got closer, there were a lot of fish in the pond, and my father's favorite thing was to enjoy the fish on the water pavilion next to him! ”

Only then did Qin Xuan notice that there was a small water pavilion on the side, which was generally suspended on the water and was generally built on the edge of the pond, and the pond was also surrounded by bluestone structures, which looked very clean and tidy. Follow the path to the water pavilion. There is a stone table in the water pavilion. There are four stone benches next to the table.

Qin Xuan first helped Zhang Lao to sit on the stone bench, and then walked to the forefront of the water pavilion by himself, stood and admired. The fish chase in the water, and the lotus flowers shake slightly. Qin Xuan's expression suddenly relaxed.

After a long time, Qin Xuan and the others got up and walked towards the back of the water pavilion, bypassing the water pavilion, it was a small forest again, but there was still a winding path paved with this bluestone. After a while, I saw a flower garden again. Lots of flower beds. And there are a lot of flowers planted in the middle, without Jiang Cheng's introduction, Qin Xuan can guess that Old Man Jiang is afraid that he wants to enjoy his old age again, but he didn't expect that the sky will not be a holiday!

There was nothing to see in the flower garden, after all, Qin Xuan was not that old. It's not my daughter's house, I don't have that mood, even if Qin Xuan wants to relax, he will only be by the water pavilion, and he won't come to see the flowers bloom.

The group went around the winding path on the right to the inner courtyard. Back at the gate of the main hall, at this time, Li Qingrui also came back, and hired a few carriages to bring back a lot of daily necessities. At this time, Jiangxi Cheng was also very knowledgeable and saluted Qin Xuan: "Master Qin, the manor is already optimistic, so I will leave next!" ”

Qin Xuan didn't know what to think, and suddenly said, "That, Brother Jiang, it's better to stay here for a few days, so that you can keep a thought!" ”

Jiangxi Cheng was obviously moved by Qin Xuan's proposal, but I don't know what Jiang Cheng was considering, he still politely rejected Qin Xuan's proposal. "Qin Gongzi, no need, the manor has already been memorized, there is no need to look at it anymore!"

"This ......" Qin Xuan paused slightly, and then said: "Okay, it's not reluctant!" ”

Jiangxi Cheng said goodbye and left, and Zhang Lao said excitedly: "Zhihao, I like it here, otherwise I will live here for the rest of my life!" ”

Qin Xuan actually calculated that Elder Zhang would say this, after all, this manor is really suitable for retirement, so he immediately nodded and said, "As long as my uncle is happy, of course I can live here!" ”

Zhang Rui on the side also spoke, and said: "Uncle, then I will live too, as for Limo, I will not go, I will stay and take care of grandpa!" ”

Qin Xuan thought about it, and also felt that Rui'er should be allowed to stay, of course Qin Xuan himself wanted to live in Limo, otherwise he would not let Qian Ruyu and the others all go to Limo, as for Zhang Lao and Rui'er, Qin Xuan would naturally not be reluctant, and Zhang Rui stayed here to take care of Zhang Lao, which also made Qin Xuan feel more at ease.

"Okay, let's talk about it later, it's not like staying in Xiangyang for a day or two!"

Xing Honglin and Li Qingrui began to clean up the main house very hard, even if they couldn't clean it all up, they had to clean up a few rooms. However, this Li Qingrui was lazy enough, and even said to the people who came to deliver the goods: "You guys help clean up!" How about turning around for a tael of silver per person? ”

They were all delivery merchants, and when they heard Li Qingrui's words, they naturally happily agreed, and they didn't need Li Qingrui to say anything, and they began to divide their labor and clean up. And Li Qingrui didn't buy much furniture, and after the hard work of the four merchants, five rooms had already been cleaned up when it was just a little dark.
