After Yun Tombsheng and his party entered the city, they found a restaurant to eat and drink, and then dispersed in twos and threes.

Zhao Hongda wanted to go to Zhao's Mansion in the west of the city, and Li Yu had a good time with him, so he went to borrow it; Xiao Mishu, a martial arts idiot, naturally would not follow the lively and noisy Zhao Hongda Liyu, and it happened that Jin Dingfa's family had an arms shop here, so he followed Jin Dingfa.

Different from Li Yu and Zhao Hongda's noisy together, Jin Dingfa and Xiao Mishu are the most harmonious together, sometimes they don't say a word for a day, one thinks about food, the other thinks about swords, at most Jin Dingfa takes Xiao Mishu to eat food, just need to go, Xiao Mishu will follow, and the two of them also think about each other when they eat.

The Han family, where Han Di's Mansion is located, is one of the largest medicinal herb merchants in the south, and naturally there are sales channels in this capital, but most of them are shops, and they are finally born with the cloud tomb.

Xueyu Villa has a courtyard here, the courtyard is called Shui Yuntian, which has the same name as the third floor building in the villa, Shui Yuntian is in the most expensive part of the capital, that is, the southeast of the palace has a small area called Snow Jiangnan.

As for why that area is called Snow Jiangnan, it is entirely because that small area can be as warm as spring in the south on a snowy winter day, so others are used to calling it Snow Jiangnan or Xiaojiangnan.

The center of Xiaojiangnan is the highest academic institution in the whole country, Dongxu, in addition to the princes and ministers and other nobles, the children of the imperial royal family also study in this Dongxu, and the dean of the Dongxu has always been served by the Taifu.

In addition to cultivating talents, Dongxu also has the extremely important mission of cultural inheritance, and those who have made achievements in various cultures and skills will be canonized as doctors, even if you are just a freater, it doesn't matter if you are just a carpenter.

This Fengge City was the capital of the Xianlin Kingdom before Emperor Mingyuan ruled the world, and there were several rare hot springs in the area of Xiaojiangnan, which were transformed into their current appearance by craftsmen as early as that time.

Skilled craftsmen dig tunnels, and then pump out the hot spring water through instruments and send it into the tunnels, where the warm water flows to dissipate the heat and then drain into the ordinary river water.

In the cold winter, the hot spring water is introduced into the dark channel, from the warm water to the final wastewater, the heat dissipated is all in the land here, so it creates a warm area that is different from the surrounding area, which is worthy of the name of Xiaojiangnan.

When the Lingyuan Empire was established in the past, Emperor Mingyuan disregarded the opposition of many people, demolished all the buildings on the old geothermal system, that is, many commercial streets, and personally supervised the construction of the east order covering an area of 1,000 acres.

According to historical records, there was a flattering minister who proposed to Emperor Mingyuan that the water of the hot springs of the old country be introduced into the palace to heat the palace in the cold winter, but was reprimanded by the emperor, and the emperor issued an order the next day: the warmth of the eastern order can ensure that the world's scholars do not stretch out their hands to be cold, and they cannot be changed forever.

On the day when the yellow paper was pasted everywhere in the world, countless scholars knelt down to the imperial city, and the emperor who was originally spurned by countless literati, Lin Mingyuan, the abandoned seventh prince who killed his brother and father, became a holy monarch in the eyes of countless people.

The meaning of the holy decree is so simple, the warm water under the eastern order can ensure that the weaker scholars will not feel cold when they stretch out their hands to do their studies in the cold winter, and there can be no changes in eternity; Whoever dares to propose a change will be beheaded, and all the princes under heaven have the right to crusade against the emperor who changed this rule.

One day, children everywhere in the world sang: "Little Jiangnan, little Jiangnan, even if the winter solstice is cold, the cold will never be cold." ”

The original capital Xiaojiang refers to only the eastern order, but after the construction of the eastern order, after several years of use, it was found that only the water discharged into the river a few days before the arrival of winter was cold, and when the whole eastern order warmed up to the following summer, the hot spring water discharged into the river was still warm or even hot.

So after getting the instructions of the emperor, the Ministry of Industry once again renovated the hot springs, according to the discharge of hot spring wastewater and the area of the east order, the small Jiangnan expanded from the east of the thousand acres of land to more than 2,000 acres, the hot spring water flow through the east order is no longer directly discharged, but from many houses over again.

After this revision, the warmth of the eastern order is still the same, the surrounding houses and streets are closer to the eastern order, the warmer they are, and the farther away is no different from the rest of the capital, and there has been no change in Xiaojiangnan in the next thousand years, and all the officials do not want to have anything to do with the heating here at all, for fear of leaving room for political opponents to operate, and then they will be charged with a full house of beheading.

The four of them rode to the east, and Shui Yuntian and Dongxu were only separated by one street.

"I heard that your house only covers ten acres?" Han Difu, who was dressed in green clothes, had red lips and white teeth, and turned his head to Yun Tombsheng and asked.

Yun Tombsheng nodded, "I heard that it's about the same, I haven't seen it." ”

On the contrary, Yun Qianyu changed his temperament, and the corners of his mouth turned up a little: "Twelve acres." ”

Handi Mansion was a little puzzled, "Only twelve acres of land?" Isn't that in line with the magnanimity of your villa? ”

"I know that." Yun Tombsheng hurriedly replied, "The mansion is surrounded by the mansions of some big families, and you can't take it down with money." ”

The four of them traveled east in the huge Fengge City, asked for directions a few times, and learned that they would be there for a short time to the east.

"Qianyu, do you like that house very much? Isn't it pretty? Yun Bailing saw Yun Qianyu's shallow smile just now, tilted his head and asked her, after finishing speaking, he seemed to remember something, and asked, "Have you ever been here?" ”

"Well, I lived with Miss, and there was only one pond and simple garden, a little bigger than the water clouds in the villa." Yun Qianyu smiled and looked around, startled many teenagers who secretly looked at her with red ears and hurriedly lowered their heads.

"Huh?" Yun Bailing was babbling and said eagerly: "Then after removing the garden and pool, isn't there only a little bit of size left?" How many rooms are there? If you remove the guards and servants, will they not be gone? ”

"Shui Yuntian here is even stricter than the villa, the villa just doesn't allow men other than the eldest young master to go up, and no one other than the master is allowed to enter here." Yun Qianyu explained.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Yun Qianyu just said that you will know when you arrive, and then stopped talking.

Finally, when the sky was getting dark, a group of people saw the white mansion that Yun Qianyu said, the walls of at least three people were painted snow-white, and the tiles on it were jet black.

There were no lions like little elephants in front of the gate, but the two large gates of the small city gate were inlaid with a human-high brass beast on the left and right, and a few people walked to the gate and stood, only feeling that they were so small.

"I've seen Childe."

The two guards guarding the gate who were wearing light armor and face armor saw Yun Tombsheng kneeling on one knee to say hello.

Yun Tombsheng waved his hand, "Get up, open the door." ”

"Yes."

The dark gate inlaid with divine beasts was as powerful and majestic as the city gate of a medium-sized city, and it slowly rumbled to both sides under the expectant gaze of the three people of the Cloud Tomb and Yun Bailing Han Di Mansion, and the faces of the three couldn't help but twitch and twitch.

Because the white building that they could still see in the distance was no longer visible at this time, and the vine-like plants growing in the gate hung down from above to cover the things inside, and even after the door was opened, many plants that were leaning on the door and growing fell over to the cloud tomb after losing their support.

"W-what's going on?"

The stunned Yun Bailing looked at Yun Qianyu blankly, if she wasn't afraid of being beaten, she really wanted to ask if Yun Qianyu had brought everyone to the cemetery.

"Didn't I say you'll understand when you see it? No one is allowed to enter this courtyard, and since the young lady left here, no living person has entered it in these years, and no one has taken care of it. Yun Qianyu stretched out his hand and brushed aside the vine leaves that were hanging to his side.

"If no living man goes in, will there be a dead man in it?" As soon as Yun Bailing finished speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth and looked at Yun Qianyu bitterly, only hating that his mouth was faster than his brain, seeing that Yun Qianyu didn't mean to hit her, he smiled and put his hand down.

"You go and tell the cloud shopkeeper of the dart bureau to find a flexible housekeeper like this, and then find twenty, no, fifty clever people to come and clean the courtyard, let him be faster, there will be people living here tonight." Yun Qianyu commanded to the guards guarding the door on the side.

"Yes." The guard replied and ran into the small mansion across the road, and in a short time rode straight to the head office of the Choi Duo Duo Dart Bureau through another gate.

The cloud shopkeeper is obese, just like the God of Wealth on the paper painted on the farmer's sacrificial stove, he is the largest manager of the Caiduoduo Dart Bureau, and the hall masters in various places are his subordinates, and his surname is Yun, the surname given by the villa.

Being given a surname by the villa is enough to prove the status of the cloud shopkeeper in the villa, and the rarity of this surname is from the fact that the children of the cloud shopkeeper must take the original surname of the cloud shopkeeper as the surname, and it can be seen that the surname is not Yun, as long as you are in the villa, your surname is Yun, then you are the top group of people.

After receiving the news from Yun Qianyu, the shopkeeper hurriedly dropped his chopsticks to arrange things, and being able to climb to this position shows his ability, although he was flustered, he arranged things in an orderly manner.

The first thing to do was to inform the hall master of Fengge City to transfer a few fast carriages and find some neat helpers; The second thing was to let Hall Master Zhang and a dozen subordinates with sharp hands and feet take a few private carriages of their own family to Xiaojiangnan, southeast of Fengge City.

"What's the hurry, the eldest prince is here, you are also the old man of the villa, he will give you a little face, he didn't notify you in advance, he has to give people time to react, this Yun Qianyu is really used to being arrogant." The lady of the cloud shopkeeper ate slowly, looked at the anxious cloud shopkeeper and said.

"What do you know as a woman?"

"What do I know?" The shopkeeper's wife slapped her chopsticks on the table: "No matter how talented this Yun Qianyu is, he is just a junior, why do you use that kind of commanding tone when she sends someone to inform you of things, they are all subordinates, you are in charge of such a big dart game, what about her Yun Qianyu?" It's hard to say, but it's just a girl, what is there to be proud of. ”

"Bang!"

The cloud shopkeeper slammed the table, "You shut up for me." ”

Seeing her husband's angry appearance, the woman was frightened for a while, and the fat cloud shopkeeper pointed to the scar on the side of his forehead and said coldly: "Do you see it?" Do you see it? The girl in your mouth smashed it with an inkstone. ”
