Chapter 360: Exploring the Secrets of the Building
A few steps away, they came to the building, in front of the door a pair of big stone lions, very magnificent.
Looking at the posture of the mansion, although it is not as grand as the Gu Mansion and the luxury of the palace, it can be regarded as a large official family.
Chen Wu buckled the copper ring on the door, and it was a small guy who answered the door.
Chen Wu reported to his home and asked the little servant to tell Steward Cheng that he would bring the seller to see the house.
After the little servant went back, the butler came out after a while, and he was a shrewd and capable housekeeper, similar to the former housekeeper Li of the Gu Mansion.
Steward Cheng greeted Chen Wu first, and looked at Gu Qingcheng for a moment.
Seeing that Gu Tingcheng was not only handsome, but also dressed up and had an extraordinary bearing.
The white and flawless jade pendant on his waist alone is probably worth a fortune.
I thought to myself, this should be a rich boy.
"Childe's surname?" Steward Cheng asked politely.
"This is Feng Gongzi." Chen Wu hurriedly introduced to Steward Cheng, "Feng Gongzi is new to the capital and wants to find a good house to settle in, this is not right, ask me, and then want to come and see this house." ”
Steward Cheng was stunned.
Gu Tingcheng also smiled:
"Steward Cheng, listen to Chen Wu's introduction, the building has the intention to sell.
It just so happened that my son wanted to find a decent house, so he wanted to come over and have a look.
I don't know if it's convenient? ”
“…… Convenient, convenient. ”
Steward Cheng hesitated slightly, but still smiled happily, and led them into the house.
There are two rows of large water tanks in the atrium of the building, there are as many as ten mouths, and lotus flowers and small goldfish are raised in the tanks.
Gu Tingcheng knows that most large families have several large water tanks, and they raise some lotus flowers and goldfish to watch on weekdays, but they are necessary for walking on the water.
Of course, the richer ones, like the Gu Mansion and the Dunqiu Palace, have big fish ponds or lotus ponds, so you don't have to worry about running out of water to fight fires when you go to the water.
When he entered the mansion and came to the hall, Steward Cheng beckoned them to sit first, and he went in to greet the eldest lady, and then took them around for a visit.
When Steward Cheng entered, Gu Qingcheng's eyes wandered and he glanced in all directions.
Looking at it roughly, this house also occupies a few acres of land, although it is a carved beam and painted building, and the Gu Mansion, but there is no comparison.
"How about it, Feng Gongzi, after all, this mansion is the former Great Sikong Mansion, rich and magnificent, and it is difficult to find it within a radius of half a mile, right?"
Chen Wu said with a smile.
"Looks good." Gu Tingcheng bowed slightly, "I still need to look at it carefully before I can say it." ”
"That's nature, after all, this is not a meal deal, it's about a house for several lifetimes, and you have to take a good look."
Chen Wu nodded in agreement.
He hopes to make this deal and have some extra income to support his family.
After a while, Steward Cheng came out and said that he had informed Madame that he could take Feng Gongzi to visit now.
Gu Qingcheng first asked Chen Wu to go back to the teahouse to work, and assured him that no matter whether the transaction was successful or not, his benefit fee would be indispensable.
Chen Wu went back with confidence.
The aunts and young ladies of the mansion heard that Gu Tingcheng was a guest who wanted to buy a house, and they were both happy and hostile.
Such a good house, everyone wants to keep it for themselves.
And it's an ancestral home, and they are all distressed about changing hands.
In addition to hating Gu Tingcheng, he was afraid that Gu Tingcheng would not be able to afford a lot of money.
Each room in the building has its own independent house, and they have their own small stoves for eating and living.
It is only during the New Year's holidays that everyone gathers in the main hall for dinner and reunion.
What Gu Tingcheng is most interested in is not those aunts' small mansions with chic decorations and splendid flowers and plants.
It was Lou Wangzhi's study at that time.
It was a small independent courtyard with a large study in the middle, a living room on the left and right, and a small Buddhist hall.
On all sides were almost the walls of the other aunt's houses, each with a small door.
The lock can only be unlocked from the study, and Lou Wangzhi can walk into any aunt's small courtyard from the study.
Others were not allowed to enter or leave his study.
And this small study courtyard is like a beauty who is isolated from the world and independent from the world.
"This is the old man's study, and most people are not allowed to enter. After the old man left, he was too lazy to clean up here. ”
Steward Cheng said, go over and take the key to open the lock on the study door.
Gu Tingcheng walked in, and sure enough, there was dust everywhere, and it didn't look like a place where people often came.
Looking at the huge study, the bookshelves are only antique ornaments.
There are several graffiti paintings hanging on the wall, which look quite childish and do not even have an inscription.
The so-called study room, but there are no books, and there is no smell of books at all.
There is a carved wooden door on the left side of the study, where there is a living room, and Lou Wangzhi sometimes takes a break here.
On the right, there is a small Buddha hall dedicated to a smiling Maitreya Buddha.
There are three dusty kneeling mats on the ground in front of the Buddha.
Maitreya Buddha holds the wonderful lotus in his hand, and the wonderful lotus bends slightly downwards to bless the person who kneels and worships.
Gu Tingcheng was very interested and said:
"Steward Cheng, the imperial court once banned the Buddha and destroyed the Buddha, and killed the monks of the temple on a large scale, but fortunately, the family was still allowed to worship the Buddha.
My grandmother is also a believer in Buddhism, and there is a small Buddhist hall at home. I didn't expect Lou Da Sikong to be a believer in Buddhism! ”
"Yes, then Feng Gongzi and Loufu are really fateful." Steward Cheng smiled.
Gu Tingcheng walked over and worshiped Maitreya Buddha quite devoutly.
Then, look at a scroll on the east wall.
Small lotus flowers are depicted on the four sides of the scroll, and in the center are a few verses that I don't know if they are Buddhist scriptures or Zen words:
Looking at flowers in the fog, I begged for it
When the clouds open and see the sun
Accumulate virtue and do good deeds to lead the way
Yunkai breaks the ground and turns into a dragon
Although there are a few landscape paintings in the study, they are unremarkable, like children's paintings, and there is not even a word in the paintings.
And the calligraphy and painting of the small Buddha hall is the only calligraphy and painting in the entire annex.
Gu Tingcheng read it again and said:
"Housekeeper, is this a Buddhist scripture or some kind of Zen language? It's deceptively simple, but it's mysterious.
I don't have much research on Buddhist scriptures and Zen language, so I don't know what to say. ”
"This is the Buddha's heart Zen words of the Buddha who recited the scriptures and realized the accumulation of virtue and doing good, which is to guide people to goodness."
Steward Cheng smiled.
Gu Qingcheng's eyes lit up in astonishment, and he said in surprise:
"Oops! It turned out to be Lou Da Sikong's Mobao, but I didn't expect Lou Da Sikong to be a person who accumulates virtue and does good, which is really worthy of admiration......"
Immediately, she asked casually: "This is the Zen language that Lou Da Sikong realized in his early years?" ”
"It was two years ago that the old man visited the Buddha and became enlightened, and he improvised it." Steward Cheng said.
"Oh......" Gu Tingcheng suddenly had an epiphany, "Amitabha, Lou Da Sikong Ginseng Buddha enlightened, accumulated virtue and did good, presumably now, he has also become a Buddha." ”
Speaking of Lou Da Sikong Feixian, Steward Cheng remembered Lou Da Sikong's death again.
Then I thought of the decline of the dignified Sikong Mansion, and now I want to sell this mansion.
I can't help but feel sorry for myself.
Gu Tingcheng turned back to the study, knocked on the wall, pretending to see if the house was strong, but in fact to see if there were any gaps in the house.
Then, stroking the bookshelf, admiring the antique ornaments, I couldn't help but smile:
"I didn't expect that there wasn't even a single book in the dignified study, which was really unexpected.
I don't know, I still think that Dasikong is not an official eunuch, a scholarly family, but a businessman and the like. ”
"Feng Gongzi is wrong, in the past, the master's study was full of books."
Steward Cheng was slightly dissatisfied.
looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was stunned, and said:
"It was only later that the old man died, and the lady felt that she saw things and thought about people, so she burned all the books."
"Oh, I see, Madame is really affectionate and righteous to Lou Dasikong."
Gu Qingcheng said.
Gu Qingcheng looked at the study carefully, but he didn't notice any secret room for a while.
Leaving the small courtyard of the study, Steward Cheng took Gu Tingcheng to the place where the eldest lady lived.
Most of the buildings have been visited, and now only the residence of the eldest lady remains.
At this time, a little servant came over, saying that there were two little maids named Ah Hong Ah Yan who claimed to be Feng Gongzi, and came to find Feng Gongzi and asked the housekeeper if they would let them in.
Gu Tingcheng knocked his head with a folding fan.
"It was the two little guys of Ben Gongzi who asked them to go back and get some things, and now they are looking for them."
Steward Cheng asked the little guy to bring Feihong Feiyan in.
Gu Tingcheng glanced at the mansion again, and said:
"My son is very sincere about this house. The housekeeper may wish to take me to meet your lady and see how much it costs?" ”
"Feng Gongzi."
Steward Cheng's face was difficult.
After a little hesitation, he said:
Madame just shouted that she was unwell, and insisted on letting the little one take you to see the house first.
If you are satisfied, the price will be negotiated slowly. ”
"Oh, that's right." Gu Tingcheng showed a sudden expression, "Steward Cheng, that son should meet Mrs. Lou even more." ”
"Feng Gongzi said this-" Steward Cheng frowned slightly.
Gu Chengcheng fell generously:
"Since I have the sincerity to buy a house, I need to meet the owner to show respect.
Second, our ancestors practiced medicine and specialized in treating incurable diseases.
No, I just asked the little guy to go back to get the medicine box, and I'm going to see someone else later.
If the lady has any discomfort, it happens that this son can cure it, and the lady's illness will be cured, and maybe this big house will not have to change hands to others. ”
"You, will you still see a doctor?"
Steward Cheng was surprised, and looked at the medicine box carried by Feihong Feiyan.
"Nonsense, our son-in-law, he has been a miracle doctor since he was a child, and if he has any incurable diseases, almost all of them are cured by medicine!"
The geese snorted.
"Yes, our son-in-law, in our hometown, is a well-known miracle doctor!"
Fei Hong also said with arrogance.
"Ah Hong, Ah Yan."
Gu Qingcheng let out a low cry of Feihong Feiyan, as if to stop them from being so public.
Steward Cheng was skeptical, but he still couldn't help but want to try.
After all, Madame has seen many doctors, but there is still no improvement.
Now I don't care about seeing this young offspring more, even if I am a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
"Feng Gongzi, wait a minute, I'll go talk to Madame first."
Steward Cheng went to his wife's room to report.
After a while, the butler came out and saluted Gu Tingcheng:
"Childe, our lady is invited."
"There's a housekeeper."
Gu Qingcheng followed Steward Cheng in.
When he entered the room, Gu Tingcheng saw a lady about fifty years old, lying on the soft couch and moaning.
A few girls waited cautiously beside them.
The lady was shrewd and strong, with slightly protruding cheekbones and a sallow complexion.
is really a yellow-faced woman, and the whole person is emaciated and unpretentious.
"Madam, this is Feng Gongzi."
Steward Cheng said respectfully to the lady.
It can be seen how majestic Mrs. is on weekdays.
"You, you are Feng Gongzi who can cure incurable diseases?"
Mrs. Lou looked pained, and looked at the young Gu Qingcheng with some disapproval.
Steward Cheng only reported that he was a young doctor, but he didn't expect that he was too young.
"Exactly down there."
Gu Qingcheng was neither humble nor arrogant.
Mrs. Lou's body was weak, but her tone was not without contempt:
"If it weren't for the fact that my Da Wei had a young living Guanyin recently, the old body wouldn't have dared to believe that today's young people are all miracle doctors!"
Her words were disdain for Steward Cheng's return to Feng Gongzi as a miracle doctor.
At this time, three men walked into Mrs. Lou's room one after another, who were Mrs. Lou's biological sons.
Several sons looked at Gu Qingcheng, who looked like a fairy although he was wearing men's clothes, and they were all shocked.
Lou Sangongzi's eyes were bright, and he looked at Gu Qingcheng with research.
This boy doesn't look like a man in any way.
How can there be such a beautiful man in this world?
Just like the rumors, the county lord of Anping, who moved the world and the country, was originally a miracle doctor who disguised himself as a man in Yixintang.
It's a pity that they took their mother and went to Yixintang several times to seek medical treatment, and they all met with the lord of Anping County.
He looked at Gu Qingcheng's eyes, and plunged into it, and he couldn't move away.
Master Lou hesitated:
"Mother, this son is young, can he have any advanced medical skills?"
The second son of Lou also said:
"I don't know how much I have seen the experienced old doctor's mother? The mother's condition did not improve at all.
This son, too, is really too young, right? ”
The third son of Lou was afraid that his mother would drive Gu Tingcheng away, so he hurriedly said:
"Big brother and second brother, why can't you be cured at a young age?
The county lord of Anping, not only is he young, he has the appearance of captivating the country and the city, but he can also come back to life.
It's a miracle doctor in Yixintang, but it's a pity that we went to seek medical treatment several times, but we were all spared. ”
At this time, Gu Qingcheng knew that they had been to Yixintang a few times, but they just happened to be absent.
The second son of Lou was not without suspicion:
"Rumors are always exaggerated!"
"If this young doctor can cure any incurable diseases, my son still doesn't believe it!"
Master Lou stroked his chin again.
"Don't believe me? That's your loneliness! ”
Feiyan sneered at the eldest prince of Lou.
Fei Hong looked at Lou Sangongzi and praised with a smile:
"This boy still has some foresight, and he makes a lot of sense.
Even the young county lord of Anping can rejuvenate with his hands. An knows that our son-in-law is not a miracle doctor? ”
"Our son-in-law is to pity Mrs. Lou's ill health, save someone's life, and win the seventh-level floating slaughter.
Otherwise, with you, can you please move our son-in-law? ”
The flying geese snorted arrogantly.
"Ah Hong, Ah Yan, don't be rude!"
Gu Qingcheng whispered to Feihong Feiyan.
Gu Qingcheng was a little awe-inspiring, and he had his own majesty.
Feihong Feiyan hurriedly stood beside him.
Mrs. Lou began to look at Gu Qingcheng seriously, and saw that she was born with dignity and extraordinary bearing.
And the little guy next to her is not an ordinary person.
She has seen more sons of official eunuchs, even the princes and grandsons of wealthy families, they don't have such a bearing as Gu Qingcheng.
I can't help but dare not underestimate Gu Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng smiled and approached his wife.
Look at her face, and look at her hands, and say:
"Does Madame feel burnout all over her body, and it's getting worse?
Yellowish urine, loss of appetite, nausea, and lately I feel a faint swelling and pain in my upper right abdomen? How much pain does it take at night? ”
"Right...... That's right! ”
Mrs. Lou looked at Gu Qingcheng with a shocked expression.
"You, how do you know?" Mrs. Lou asked Gu Qingcheng in astonishment.
Then he glanced at Steward Cheng again: "Old Cheng, did you say that?" ”
"What is Madame's illness, the little one doesn't know much, how dare she talk nonsense to outsiders."
Steward Cheng was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed down and said.
"Doctors are expected to inquire about it, and this hope is the first priority." Gu Qingcheng smiled lightly, "I looked at Madame's face and palms, and I guessed about it." ”
"Mother, just one glance can tell your mother's illness as if you had seen it yourself, isn't this a miracle doctor?"
Lou Sangongzi's eyes bloomed, and he urged Mrs. Lou:
"Mother, hurry up and let this Feng Gongzi show you!" Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find? Amway One or search for Hot/Degree/Net/Article "Remember to remove "/"Otherwise you won't be able to search", here is a young lady to help you find books and accompany you to chat!
