Chapter 12: Gangnam

is not an official body, and it does not reach a certain level, even if there is so much silver to buy this mansion, it is not qualified to live in it.

Their masters......

Both Holly and Honeysuckle were confused.

Ji Qing didn't explain, but motioned for Honeysuckle to come forward and knock on the door.

Honeysuckle suppressed his doubts, took a few steps forward, grabbed the knocker and knocked hard.

After a short time, the vermilion lacquer gate was opened from the inside.

"This lady, are you ......" The one who spoke was an old woman who looked at her about the age of sixtieth, and while talking, she also looked at Ji Qing and the three of them, obviously speculating about something.

Ji Qing didn't speak, and took out the deed directly.

The reason why Ji Qing dared to take out this deed like this and dare to come to see the house in person was because the deed in her hand was a white deed, not a red deed that had been filed in the yamen.

In the Da'an Dynasty where Ji Qing is located, there are two kinds of house sales, one is private sales, the buyer and seller are crossed by the middleman, and then there are witnesses to witness the establishment of the deed, which is called a white deed.

And if you go to the government for the record after making a white deed and affix the official seal, this kind of house deed is called a red deed.

The red deed is recognized and protected by the government, but because there is a lot of tax to pay when going to the government for the record, most people only make a white deed when buying and selling a house, which is considered a convention, but it rarely goes wrong.

What Ji Qing has in his hand is a white deed, which means that he has not prepared a case in the yamen at all, so when the Ji family was raided, he naturally couldn't copy the house.

Otherwise, even if the deed is still there, Ji Qing will not dare to come over at this time.

When the old woman who opened the door saw this deed, she was startled at first, and then immediately smiled on her face: "It turns out that the lord's family is here......

While speaking, he completely opened the door and welcomed Ji Qing and the three of them inside.

Going inside, the old woman also talked about the year, "...... The old man said that this house was a gift for the girl, and after it was repaired, he told the old slave family to look at the house, and said that he would bring the girl over to see it in a few days......"

Who would have thought that this wait would be ten years.

In the past ten years, the old woman's family has not guessed whether something happened to the main family, but they are not the children of the Ji family, but the old servants left by the previous owner of the house when Ji Qing's father Ji Zheng bought the house, and the family has not had time to learn the identity of their new master, and the Ji family has an accident, and they naturally have no way of knowing what happened to their new master's family.

I thought that maybe the owner of this house would not come again, but I didn't expect that someone would come to the door.

Halfway through the words, I didn't know what came to mind, the old woman glanced at Ji Qing without a trace, her face was a little unsightly, and her eyes were a little more anxious.

Ji Qing saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

Her mind was not on these details, but on everything in the house with an almost greedy gaze.

In fact, from the moment he stepped into this house, Ji Qing was in a state of sadness and excitement.

Ten years ago, Ji Qing's eldest brother Ji Qian, second brother Ji Shen, and cousin Ji Xu went out to travel around Jiangnan together.

But no matter how envious she is, as a woman who doesn't leave the door, it is impossible for Ji Qing to see Jiangnan in the mouths of her brothers with her own eyes, and she can only imagine what Jiangnan is like.

Later, seeing that Ji Qing was annoyed, the three brothers apologized again and again, and later during that time, the three brothers were still a little mysterious, and Ji Qing didn't see them running to Ji Zheng's study together, but asked what they were doing, whether it was Ji Zheng or the three brothers, no one would say.

was asked in a hurry, and the second brother Ji Shen said that he would definitely let Ji Qing see the Jiangnan style with his own eyes.

Ji Qing only thought it was Ji Shen's joke at the time.

And then ......

Later, something happened to the Ji family, so she naturally wouldn't have the leisure to think about this joke anymore.

Unexpectedly, ten years later, after her father and brothers had left, in this mansion that had been missed for ten years, she really saw the Jiangnan style that her father and brother wanted her to see.

Ji Qing has never been to Jiangnan, but she has heard the descriptions of her father and brothers, and she has also seen the paintings of the three brothers.

Her fathers and brothers......

Do you want to let her see Jiangnan in this way?

Ji Qing's eyes couldn't help but get hot.

This surprise came a full ten years late, and the Ji family has long been wrong, if those things hadn't happened back then, if their family was fine, how good would it be?

Under the dark hat, Ji Qing couldn't help but cry.

But soon, she wiped away the tears.

Because, she saw something different.

This house is not big, it is an ordinary three-entry house, there is no cross courtyard on both sides, and the screen door is the screen door to the west, and the screen door is the inverted seat room.

It is said that since this old woman's family is a handyman who is ordered to look after the house, they should live in the inverted room, but Ji Qing took a look at it when he passed by the inverted house, but he did not see any traces of people living in the inverted house.

However, the door of the pendulum is wide open, and after entering the weeping flower door, the doors of several west wings are closed, but the three rooms in the east wing are open, and they are obviously inhabited.

In this house for ten years, only the old woman's family of five has been guarding the door, and it is needless to say who lives in these three rooms.

Ji Qing's face sank.

In addition to some powerful people with very high status in the capital, the houses of ordinary eunuchs are not necessarily very big, the main house is naturally the residence of the master and the housewife, and the east chamber is the son of the family lives, this family of five lives in the east wing, don't you see that the owner of this house has not come for ten years, so you think you are the owner of this house?

The old woman also knew that her family was at a loss, and seeing that Ji Qing's face was wrong, she didn't know how to explain it, so she could only raise her voice in a hurry: "The master, Ah Da, Ah Da's daughter-in-law, Brother Dong, come out to greet the master's family......"

Not long after, a female voice came from the room.

"Mother, what are you talking about, what kind of master's house, we have lived in this house for ten years......"

With the voice, a middle-aged woman walked out of one of the rooms, and the words in her mouth stopped abruptly the moment she saw Ji Qing's master and servant.

As if sensing that something was wrong, he soon walked out again, a middle-aged man, and a young man about twenty years old.
