Cui Zhi and Huangfu Teng both want to look at the house in the city, this matter is not appropriate to others, and there is no agreement after seeing a few places, fortunately, the old man Duan came back from the countryside, and everyone went to the door of the Duan family again.

When they arrived, they happened to meet a matchmaker who came to the door to say goodbye. Duan Wanquan is now at the age of marriage, and the Duan family's life is getting better and better, and there are many people who come to the door.

Huangfu Teng smiled and patted Duan Wanquan, "Brother Wanquan, it's also a good thing to marry early and settle down early!" ”

It can be said that Huangfu Teng has a deep understanding, and his face is full of flowers with a smile. Cui Zhi listened and said, "Brother Quan marries his sister-in-law, I will give you half of the dowry!" ”

Wei Ming laughed on the side, "Even if it's a boast, it's not a whole copy!" ”

Cui Zhi glared at him, "I want to buy a house, poor!" ”

The three of them laughed, but they didn't notice that Duan Wanquan's face showed a little uncomfortable, and turned around and drove the matchmaker out of the door, "There are guests at home!" ”

The matchmaker had no choice but to leave, Duan Wanquan beckoned everyone into the courtyard and sat down, and brought back the old man Duan who was playing chess with others under the willow tree by the river.

Seeing that his face was not good, Old Man Duan smiled and asked, "Another matchmaker has come to the door?" ”

"Hmm."

"People are also looking for a daughter-in-law for you, aren't they? You're putting on a face! "Old Man Duan never forced him to marry, it was like a joke.

Duan Wanquan was not as easy-going as usual, his face was expressionless, "I don't need others to find it for me." ”

Old Man Duan shook his fan, shook his head and said, "Then who do you want to find?" If my old man is looking for it, I will marry you a fat girl who can work in the countryside and can be born and raised at a glance......"

"You old man don't have to bother!" Duan Wanquan hurriedly interrupted his father-in-law's words.

Why didn't the old man say find him a sow?

Old Man Duan still said to himself, "If you don't like fat girls, you will go to the city to find a handsome and literate thin girl?" It's also good to take your children to study in the future......"

"Alright, alright!"

Duan Wanquan snatched the fan in his hand and snorted at him, "I'll serve your old man comfortably, don't find me any fat and thin girls!" What tea would you like to drink again? ”

Old Man Duan was neat and neat, without a word of nonsense, "West Lake Longjing." ”

*

Take out the map of the county seat and take a look, it is clear how many houses there are.

Huangfu Teng brought silver, and he, like Cui Zhi, took a fancy to the Lotus Garden, "Is this yard for sale?" ”

"Don't rob me!" Cui Zhi hurriedly covered the lotus garden from the picture.

Old Man Duan couldn't laugh, "Girl, it's useless for you to cover the picture, who is the master of this courtyard, I really don't know, old man, I've also inquired these days, and there is no shadow!" ”

It was rare that Old Man Duan also inquired about Cui Zhi. Cui Zhi thanked his old man, "Who was the last master of the Lotus Garden?" ”

Old Man Duan thought for a while, "I can't tell which master it is, but this mansion, more than 20 years ago, is the private residence of a minister of the DPRK and China." ”

Cui Zhi and Wei Ming looked at each other, but looking at the layout design of the lotus garden and the materials used for the mottled doors and windows, the two had guessed that it would be a villa of a big family in Anqiu.

"Which minister?"

Wei Ming is a person from the middle of the court, although it was more than ten years after he became an official in his previous life, he didn't know anything about the big officials in the next few decades.

Old Man Duan patted Huang Fu Teng's shoulder, "You should know." It was the Qing general Yu Gong. ”

"Yu Gong?!" Huangfu Teng really didn't expect it, "How can Duke Yu have another courtyard in Anqiu?" ”

Old Man Duan smiled: "Although Duke Yu is from Pengcheng, it is said that he grew up in Anqiu when he was a child, so Anqiu has his own courtyard. ”

"But wasn't that Yu Gong raided his house, and there were no people?" Cui Zhi couldn't help asking, "Who did this house go to later?" ”

It was Wei Ming who answered her, "The house was raided and taken back to the imperial court." Could it be that the imperial court has not sold this courtyard for more than ten years? ”

Such a good house, if the court sells it, no one will buy it. In a place like this, which is far away from Beijing, the local government will also call the shots, or it will flow into the hands of local officials and squires.

"That's exactly what doesn't matter." Old Man Duan said, he pointed to Duan Wanquan, "Wanquan went to the county office a few days ago to ask for this house, and no one knew after asking around." It seems that the house is not in the hands of the government. ”

Duan Wanquan sighed, and Cui Zhi thanked him, "Thank you for your hard work." Duan Wanquan said that it was okay.

But who is the owner of the Lotus Garden?

If the lotus garden was sold or passed into the hands of the squire or magistrate, how could the house be left unattended?

No, it's not that no one is taking care of it, didn't Wen Chuan see a person sweeping the yard?

She told Old Man Duan about this, and Old Man Duan was surprised, "I've never heard of it, old man!" You are bold, you are not afraid of the haunting of the lotus garden, you dare to buy a house and dare to break in, you are worthy of young people! ”

Following Old Man Duan's words, everyone said a few words of gossip. Suddenly, Wei Ming opened his mouth, "Could it be that the Lotus Garden was not raided, and it was given to others before Duke Yu's house was raided?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but think about the past towards this place.

Duan Wanquan said: "In this way, things make sense!" The Lotus Garden has its owner, but for some reason, he didn't send anyone to guard it, and only occasionally came to clean it. ”

Huangfu Teng also nodded, "If I get Duke Yu's house, I don't dare to live in it, but I can't provide for it?" Maybe that family is what I miss, but the family is in the middle of the road, and there is no manpower or money to repair the house, so I can only clean it occasionally. ”

I have to say that Huang Futeng's deduction gave a good explanation for this matter.

Cui Zhi pulled the topic back again, "But I want to buy a lotus garden!" It's only right to find the master's house! ”

Huang Fu Teng asked her, "Do you dare to live?" That's Yu Gong's house! Our family also has a portrait of the three princes! I don't dare to live! ”

He said it like this, as if Yu Gong was Guan Gong. Cui Zhi imagined for a moment, if it was Guan Gong's house, she seemed to be ..... I don't dare to live!

Cui Zhi held his face in distress, "What about the descendants of Duke Yu?" Why don't you take the house away? ”

Wei Ming shook his head and said, "It's all gone", Cui Zhi looked over in surprise, and heard Huangfu Teng sigh again and again.

"Duke Yu had two sons and a daughter, the eldest son died on the battlefield and died young, and the second son was assassinated in the final Qing war, and both sons left no blood. Only one daughter married into a family of eunuchs in Pengcheng, but a few years after Yu Gong left, this lady also went, and once had a son, who also died early. ”

Cui Zhi was dumbfounded, and Huangfu Teng said: "Duke Yu is my benefactor, the benefactor of my whole family, and the great benefactor of the military and civilians along the Daxing coast!" It's a pity that he is an old man, and he didn't leave a drop of blood! ”

fought the lives of the whole family to save the lives of more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of people, and finally ended up like this. If it weren't for the fact that the soldiers and civilians along the coast still remember him and erect a statue for him, who would remember that there was such a person?
