After the welcome banquet, the Earl of Houghton instructed the old housekeeper to arrange rooms for everyone, and said that in the past few days, please live in peace, if you have any requirements, he will talk to Zheng Xuan in detail in the evening, so I hope that Zheng Xuan and those people can have a good rest in the afternoon, and then Zheng Xuan and others went to the third floor under the guidance of a maid, there are a total of 7 rooms on the third floor, although the princess can live in a room alone, but at Zheng Xuan's request, in the end, Xu Hui and Zheng Xuan live in one room, In addition, He Fei lives in one room with Zhang Hu, Zhao Ping lives in one room with Xu Chao, Chen Yongming lives in one room with Liu Hai, and Cheng Ying lives in a separate room because he wants to be clean.

In addition, the previous meal was very restrained, but it was only for Zheng Xuan... As for the remaining 8 reincarnators... That's even more uncomfortable than restraint... Because when eating, as 'subordinates', they can only stand obediently behind Zheng Xuan and watch others eat.

So at the end of the banquet, when the earl's family also returned to the second floor, Zhang Hu strode impatiently downstairs, and then he saw that several maids seemed to be cleaning up the table, seeing this, Zhang Hu hurriedly ran over to stop the maids, and then he did not hesitate to reach out and grab a piece of duck leg on the plate and gnaw it fiercely, while gnawing and saying...

Damn... Starve me to death...!

Seeing Zhang Hu's appearance of a starving ghost reincarnated, the maids covered their mouths and laughed, but in the end, one of the maids couldn't help but walk up to Zhang Hu and whispered, "This Mr. Qingguo, that... The food for your entourage will be brought to your rooms later... So..."

After the maid's words were finished, Zhang Hu, who had just swallowed a mouthful and was about to open his mouth to bite the second bite, was suddenly stunned...

Then, with an embarrassed expression, he looked around at the few maids who were watching him...

"Hehe... Hehehe... I see. ”

After saying this, Zhang Hu immediately threw the almost nibbled duck back into the plate, and at the same time said to the maids while walking upstairs, "You clean up first, I won't bother, hehe..."

...............

After 10 minutes, the maids downstairs brought it to their respective rooms with different food, so naturally, when the maids went down, no matter who they were, they immediately gobbled it up without hesitation.

After a full meal, the seniors habitually came to the room where Zheng Xuan and Xu Hui were, because the seniors knew that many things were decided through deliberation.

The first day of the paranormal mission, Olivia Manor, 14.33 p.m. ...

At this moment, a group of people gathered in Zheng Xuan's room, but because this is the 19th century after all, there is no sofa or coffee table in the room, although this is the earl's manor, and the guest rooms are naturally very luxurious, but unfortunately the only place to sit in the room is a table with a beautiful carved pattern and a few equally luxurious chairs.

Of course, the reincarnators didn't care about these details, but there was one thing that made Zheng Xuan a little surprised.

"Why didn't Xu Chao, Chen Yongming and Liu Hai come over? Did you notify them when you came? ”

At the mention of this, the rest of the seniors shook their heads and said they didn't know, but Zhao Ping, who was sitting on He Fei's left side, said, "I informed Xu Chao and asked him to call the other two people to come to your room to discuss things after eating, and he agreed at that time, but if he still hasn't come now, then I don't know what the reason is." ”

After Zhao Ping's words were finished, Zheng Xuan's brows first frowned slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I won't force them if they don't come, so let's talk about this supernatural mission." ”

Hearing this, He Fei, who had been silent before, first raised his head and glanced at Zheng Xuan, and then he said to Zheng Xuan, "Actually, I don't think you need to deliberately ask us, you were the protagonist downstairs before, you should know better than us, right?" ”

After hearing this, Zheng Xuan did not refute He Fei, but nodded to He Fei and said, "Well, your feelings are very keen, in fact, through a series of details when I was downstairs before, I personally summarized two questions." ”

Seeing that the rest of the people focused their eyes on her, Zheng Xuan continued, "First, although I'm not sure, but through my previous observation of the count's daughter Grace, this girl must know some secrets, otherwise a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl would never have that sluggish and haggard expression, so I think that if you want to successfully solve this supernatural incident, you must start with Grace." ”

"And what about the second point?" Cheng Ying on the side interjected.

"As for the second point, that is, I feel that Earl Houghton seems to have something unspeakable, although he told me that he would talk to me in detail after dinner and tell me what happened, but I vaguely feel that even if he tells the truth, he probably won't tell it all, which naturally brings us difficulties in solving this supernatural event."

Although Zheng Xuan's analysis is an analysis with personal subjective factors, it is very reasonable, after all, the vast majority of this group of people do not think that they can analyze so much information just by observing one morning like Zheng Xuan.

However, just after Zheng Xuan's analysis was spoken, He Fei on the side nodded and added, "Yes, most of the two analysis conclusions you just came to are the same as those of my own analysis, but there is one point, I still remember a little..."

He Fei's words immediately aroused Zheng Xuan's interest, because what she said just now had almost told all the information she had observed, but she didn't expect He Fei to still have new discoveries, so then Zheng Xuan asked He Fei, "What is it?" Say it. ”

After hearing Zheng Xuan's words, Xu Hui, Cheng Ying, Zhang Hu and Zhao Ping at the table also looked at He Fei again, just like Zheng Xuan.

After feeling everyone's gaze, He Fei's face first froze, but then he lowered his voice and said to the rest, "You... Did you find out... The front of this manor house is not in the direction of sitting north and facing south? ”

As soon as He Fei said this, everyone, including Zheng Xuan, was stunned for a moment, and then they all showed puzzled looks.

So after listening to He Fei's words, Zhang Hu, who felt the most incomprehensible, first asked He Fei, "Huh?" It doesn't seem like you're sitting north and facing south, but does this supernatural event have anything to do with the direction of this manor? ”

As soon as Zhang Hu's words fell, the rest of the people looked at Zhao Ping...

As for why they all look at him, it's because Zhao Ping is engaged in real estate in the real world...

However, Zhao Ping still explained with the same flat expression as before: "The house sits north and faces south, which is the style of our Chinese architecture, which has two meanings, or can also be understood as two interpretations..."

"The first is from the explanation of feng shui, the residence sits north and faces south is one of the architectural principles of traditional feng shui theory, Yi Zhanxue said, the south is luxuriant, the yang is sufficient, facing south and calling the king is the supreme direction, the ancients believed that the north is yin, the south is yang, and the place where feng shui is good should be yin and yang, as early as the primitive society, our Chinese ancestors built village houses in accordance with the direction of sitting north and facing south, and most of the ancient houses found by modern archaeology are facing south."

"The second is explained from a scientific point of view, first of all, the house sits north and faces south, and the windows are facing south, southeast or southwest, and the indoor lighting is better. The house can make full use of the sun's rays to keep it warm in winter and cool in summer, and the house is well ventilated in the north and facing south, and the house will fully circulate the air in the house and avoid the north wind. Sitting in the north and facing south is not only for the light and ventilation of the house, but also to avoid the north wind, our country is a monsoon climate country, there is a cold current in Siberia in winter, and the cool breeze of the Pacific Ocean gradually occurs in summer, resulting in the change of wind direction throughout the year. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ping spread his hands, "The above is the advantage of the house sitting north and facing south." ”

But after he said these words to everyone, he immediately looked at He Feidao, "But I also know that Western architecture doesn't care much about the orientation of the house, so what I want to ask is, even if this manor doesn't sit north and face south, it's not a big deal for Westerners, right?" ”

Zhao Ping's question is also the question that the rest of the people are thinking about at the moment, Chinese may be more concerned about the orientation of the house, but as Zhao Ping said, Westerners don't seem to care.

But when Zhao Ping's question was finished, He Fei smiled slightly, and his smile made people even more confused, but the next moment He Fei explained to everyone, "Actually, Zhao Ping, what you said is very right, but what you said about Westerners don't care about the orientation of the house, and only consider it from the perspective of civilians and modern society." ”

"Since the opening of the ancient Silk Road, Chinese civilization has been influencing the Western world in a steady stream, of course, limited by the underdeveloped transportation in ancient times, can be affected by most of the Western nobles or royal families, then naturally the most affected by China is also this group of people, if you don't believe it, you can check it, since the 13th century, all the royal family or the more powerful and wealthy nobles in the Western world, when they built palaces, castles or manors, they have also begun to adopt the Chinese style of sitting north and facing south, Because the Chinese Feng Shui theory is very popular in the West, although I am not a history major, I happened to listen to a history professor talk about European architecture during my college years. ”

Speaking of this, He Fei said slowly, "This manor... There are quirks..."
