There are three Anseong universities in Bonggyon, and it takes more than an hour to walk from the middle of the city to the south of the city.

Although the martial arts of several people are also fast, there is a carriage to sit in Gu Youlan is still too lazy to go. Besides, Bihe is also afraid that she will meet acquaintances, although the probability is very low, but she should not be careless.

After all, an announcement had been issued in the palace saying that the little princess had died in a hundred miles, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, several people still chose the carriage.

The south of the city is the best scenery in the whole capital, the most secluded area, only dozens of rich and powerful families and businessmen live here, because this is the only lake in the capital, so the house price is very expensive, and a casual set of five courtyards can be sold for tens of thousands of gold ingots.

Bihe said that the original owner of the house they bought was surnamed Ke, an imperial merchant and one of the top ten families in the capital, mainly engaged in grain.

Four years ago, there was a great drought in the south, and the Ke family stored a lot of grain for this purpose to take the opportunity to make a fortune in the country, and later because of some advice, when the current saint was preparing for a thorough investigation, more than 300 people of the whole clan were killed in one night.

At that time, the emperor was furious because of this incident, and ordered the household officials to investigate at the same time.

Two years have passed, and no murderer has been found, and later this mansion was given by the saint to the three princes who made great contributions in the drought, and the three princes transferred it to his concubine, because the emperor favored the three princes very much, so he did not pursue it.

But this concubine hanged herself less than half a year after moving here, and according to the people here, this house is often haunted, so it is reported to the Beijing Weifang for resale.

No one has bought it for more than a year now, and a few merchants have taken a fancy to this house, but after hearing that it is haunted, no one cares about it anymore.

When Bihe and the others went to the house, the steward there saw that although Bihe and Zhou Jie were outsiders, they were dressed very luxuriously, and they must be big families, so they recommended a few small houses, but Bihe either disliked it too small, or it was too noisy near the house, and finally the steward was impatient and recommended the Ke family's house.

With the eyes of the steward, he naturally saw that Bihe's background was not low, so he didn't dare to deceive the haunting of the house, so this mansion was bargained with Bihe's clever mouth, and finally bought it for only 250,000 gold ingots.

Along the way, Gu Youlan looked at the beautiful scenery in the south of the city, and thought about the Ke family mentioned by Bihe.

"Does this Ke family have anything to do with the Ke family in Xiling County?"

"Back to the princess's words, the slave maid inquired, and I heard from the people in the house that the Ke family in Xiling County is a branch of the Ke family in the capital, but the specific relationship with Wan Guifei has not been inquired about yet."

Since returning to the capital, Bihe has put the word princess on her lips again, and her behavior has become more deferential, this master-servant relationship established at the beginning of the birth of the original owner, so that Bihe can not abandon it.

Gu Youlan couldn't help but shake her head when she heard Bihe's self-proclaimed again, but she didn't say anything, she knew Bihe's thoughts, after all, she was going back to the palace.

Although there are many rules in the palace, she doesn't care, but Bihe can't think so.

The carriage traveled very slowly, and when it entered the south of the city, the road widened significantly, and there were more trees on both sides, so although it was winter, it did not look depressed because of the approaching New Year.

The buildings here are obviously much taller and more than those in other parts of the capital, and at first glance it is like entering the area where the rich live, and from time to time there will be luxuriously decorated carriages passing by.

After about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped in front of a large house.

The coachman accepted the silver coin given by Bihe, looked at the house in front of him tremblingly, and whispered to Bihe before leaving: "I heard that this place is haunted, you should be careful!" After saying that, he drove the carriage and galloped away.

The house in front of me is very large, the courtyard wall is three meters high, and although the courtyard gate is a little mottled, it is not difficult to see that it was once magnificent.

Zhou Jie stepped forward to unlock the lock, and then pushed the door open vigorously.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew out of the gate, although it had been four years, but with Gu Youlan's keen sense of smell, there was still a faint smell of blood.

Gu Youlan frowned, raised her feet and walked in.

It is a large mansion surrounded by four courtyards, east and west, and there is a main courtyard in the center of the mansion.

The main courtyard is a courtyard with seven entrances, and the front three and the back four are divided into front and back yards.

The front yard is all bungalows, and the back yard is an attic with one to four floors, apparently for the owner.

Surrounding the main courtyard is a semi-circular promenade, from the front yard to the back yard by a small bridge with flowing water, and a large garden.

Behind the main courtyard is a plum forest, which is in winter, and the plum blossoms are lush and fragrant, and behind the plum forest is the only lake in the capital - still water lake.

The whole house gives Gu Youlan the feeling that it is big and empty, although it can't be compared with her space and Luoxia Valley, but in this capital where every inch of land is valuable, this house is indeed not small.

Regarding the haunting of this mansion according to the legend of the world, Gu Youlan just shook her head and smiled, not afraid.

It's not because she doesn't believe in ghosts, but for her, who is a soul herself, she was once a ghost with a wandering ghost.

Just when Gu Youlan inspected the mansion, Bihe had already quickly cleaned the main hall in the front yard, waiting for the master to tell her what to do next.

Back in the main hall, sitting on the main seat, Bihe had already made tea for her and Bai Yu.

Looking around at the layout of the main hall, picking up the teacup and taking a sip gently, Gu Youlan casually took out a few silver and gold tickets worth 10,000 yuan, and raised her eyes to Zhou Jie and Bihe.

"This house is not bad, Bihe and Zhou Jie are doing very well, and this will be our foothold in the capital in the future."

"Next, such a large mansion should need a lot of people, as for how many people to buy and how to manage it, Bihe discussed with Zhou Jie and the two of you, and when you go out to buy goods and people later, by the way, you will take Wuyang and them in the broken temple outside the city."

"In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, in the future, we will declare Dongfang Mansion here, my name is Dongfang Youlan, Bihe, your name is Dongfang Qinghe, Zhou Jie doesn't need to change."

When she heard Gu Youlan say that she was called Dongfang Mansion to the outside world, Bai Yu looked at her in surprise, and then continued to drink tea, still unwilling to express any opinions.

Near evening, Bihe and Zhou Jie led more than 100 people and drove more than 10 carriages back.

Gu Youlan sat in the main hall, Bai Yu sat on the left side, the main hall was very large, and there was no problem with accommodating two hundred people.

Bai Yu shook his fan and looked at Gu Youlan, who had changed into men's clothes, her long black hair was tied up high, a black rolling cloud robe inlaid with gold threads, a short white fox fur, a pair of black gold piping boots that matched the robe, holding an emerald green piccolo, and a stunning face, the whole person looked noble, heroic, and majestic.

Bai Ze was lying on her lap, boredly playing with a portable jade pendant of Gu Youlan.

Zhou Jie arranged Wu Yang and other ten teenagers to wait for the master to summon them in the front yard wing, and then led everyone into the main hall, and Bihe moved slightly to stand next to Gu Youlan.

Zhou Jie stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and said, "I've seen the master!" With that, more than 100 people behind him knelt on the ground.

"There are a total of one hundred and thirty-four people here, fifty guards, four porters, twenty male servants, thirty-two female servants, four kitchen cooks, ten cooks, four gardeners, and ten restoration craftsmen.

After speaking, he handed everyone's deed of sale to Bihe, who took it and changed hands to show it to Gu Youlan, only to see Gu Youlan waving her hand and squinting at everyone in the hall.

"In the future, this Dongfang Mansion will be your home, I don't raise idlers here, I have only one requirement for you, that is, loyalty, as for those who dare to betray me....... there is only one word, death!"

With that, an ice spike shot into a bowl-thick peach tree outside the hall, and the peach tree was cut off in an instant.

Everyone trembled for a moment, and then they all lowered their heads tremblingly.

Seeing that such a shock had an effect, Gu Youlan then ordered the youngest 12 maids to be left behind, and the rest were handed over to Zhou Jie for arrangement.

Everyone retreated, and according to Zhou Jie's arrangement, they began to remove tables, chairs, beds, quilts and other living utensils from the carriage, and tidy up the house.

When Wu Yang and the others finished washing and changed into clean robes and entered the main hall, Gu Youlan was giving a lecture to the twelve maids.

"Did you hear what I just said?" Several young maids knelt on the ground and nodded yes.

"In the future, the 12 of you will live in the backyard with me, except for you and the young master, Qinghe, and Steward Zhou, the rest of the people in the backyard can't come in, do you know?"

"Okay, don't bother me if it's okay!" After speaking, let Bihe take the person down.

Wu Yang and the others have been poor children since they were children, and they have been begging for food on the street, where have they really seen the style of a wealthy family, and when they saw Gu Youlan sitting majestically on the top, several children were a little cramped and uneasy.

Seeing them come in, Gu Youlan beckoned gently, and several people walked up to her and knelt down on one knee in unison: "See the master"!

"Well, let's get up, it's very clean, it's all good, this will be your home in the future, Wu Yue, you live in the backyard with me, and I will follow your Aunt Qinghe in the future."

Gu Youlan looked the teenagers up and down, then nodded with satisfaction and continued: "From tomorrow onwards, you will first follow Steward Zhou to cultivate, and occasionally Young Master and I will guide you, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will have good achievements in the future." ”

"Remember, you are not the descendants of this family, the only thing you have to do is to listen to me and cultivate hard!"

Wuyang, Jiang Da and the others looked at Gu Youlan with excitement on their faces, they never dreamed that one day they would meet a master like Gu Youlan who treated them like a relative, not only could they cultivate but also have such a rich life, and several people knelt down on one knee again and said loudly.

"The subordinates know, thank you, master!"

When everything was arranged, it was time for dinner.

Since she had just settled down today, Gu Youlan asked Bihe to tell the kitchen to cook a few dishes to eat at random, but she specially instructed Zhou Jie to make more food for Wuyang and the other ten children to take care of their bodies.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Gu Youlan walked to the backyard, the attic had been cleaned up, the floor was polished very brightly, there were several lights on each floor of the building, and the twelve maidservants were tidying up the rooms in an orderly manner under Bihe's arrangement.

The first floor of the attic is a large and small living room, the second floor is the room of twelve maidservants, and the third and fourth floors are not only arranged for her by Bihe, but also equipped with a study and an alchemy room for her, and only two small rooms are arranged for herself and Wu Yue.

Bihe bought a lot of things from the shops in the city, white gauze curtains, pink satin quilts, special carpets, and delicate incense burners...... The entire attic is instantly rejuvenated, and the decoration is luxurious but elegant.

Looking at the lights of the house and the servants shuttling, Gu Youlan suddenly felt a peaceful popularity, and the faint blood seemed to drift away with the wind.
