I don't know what Jin Buchang found out again, why did he suddenly say such strange words: "It's not simple? What do you mean? ”

Jin Buchang touched the big gold chain around his neck, and deliberately suppressed his voice again: "From the height and width of this outer wall, Jin Ye, I guess it must be an old mansion with at least three entrances, and it will be bigger." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

I looked at the tall old courtyard wall again, and I was still puzzled: "Even if this is the old house of Sanjin, what is so strange?" ”

Regarding the Sanjin old mansion in Jin Buchang's mouth, I, the half-hung shopkeeper of the antique shop, still know a little bit.

In ancient times, the size of the old house and courtyard was calculated by the number of longitudinal courtyards. This unit of calculation is called "depth". The so-called three-entry refers to the three-deep mansion composed of three parts: the Xuan Ting, the main court and the back court. In addition to the three entrances, the mainstream architectural styles also include five entrances and seven entrances, and the scale of their houses is also getting larger and larger.

In the novel "The Legend of Marriage in the Awakening World" written by the novelist Xi Zhousheng in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, a Weng member was in the capital and bought a courtyard house with about two entrances and more than ten rooms, spending a total of 360 taels of silver. And the seven-entry mansion where another rich man lived in Ji Yuanwai was sold for a full 6,000 taels of silver. At that time, an acre of good land was only worth about four or five taels of silver, which shows the high value of this kind of house calculated in terms of depth.

"Boy, you know a! During the Red Movement, old houses like this one were demolished and destroyed, and even if they were left, they would have long been returned to the state and turned into some kind of cultural heritage. Jin Buchang saw that I didn't understand what he meant, and became a little impatient: "Use your brain, where is this?" This is the foundation of the imperial city. Not to mention now, even if it is placed in the Qing Dynasty, it is by no means so easy to get such a house under the roots of the imperial city. ”

I nodded, thought thoughtfully, and seemed to understand what Jin Buchang meant: "You mean to say that the power of the Mu family in the south of the city is probably more terrifying than the rumors?" ”

"Master Jin, I haven't dealt with the Mu family before, but looking at this battle, it seems that he is really a master who is not easy to mess with." Kim Buchang bluntly voiced his concerns; "Boy, we have to take it easy for a while, if you don't pay attention, you have to plant it inside."

"Not really, right? We don't have anything to do with them, and they're very polite. "I said it on my lips, but in my heart it was different. A sense of uneasiness swept in, and in this barren mountain and wild land, if we really couldn't talk about it later, even if they buried us, it would take a little effort to dig it out again.

"You're welcome?" Jin Buchang pointed to his ears with an unhappy face: "This is also polite?" Boy, you're still too young, and you're going to end up worse than death in this world. ”

I frowned, upset by Jin Buchang's words, and after a little thought, I felt that it was better to find out where to go before I went in. Then he gently poked Jin Buchang beside him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where this is?" ”

Jin Buchang looked around: "I've been to Chengnan Jinye, I've been to Langfang Jinye, and Jinbei Jinye, but here's ......" He shook his head: "Even the route we took when we came here is very unfamiliar, Jin Ye, I really don't know where this is." ”

I don't know which one it is...... This is troublesome, the safest way to do things is to pay attention to a back hand, but you don't even know where you are, even if you want to run when the time comes, you don't know where to run.

Jin Buchang saw my worries, and suddenly showed a wicked smile on his face, and put his hand on my shoulder: "Boy, I'm afraid of wool, Master Jin, I just want to remind you, don't be too out of line." If you come, you will be safe, but after a while, our soldiers will come to you to block, and the water will come to you to cover, won't you get it? ”

I shook off Jin Buchang's arm around my shoulder, and gave him a big disdain with my eyes: "Damn! It's because of you that I'm afraid! I don't know who it was, but at that time he wanted to throw the pot to me and run away by himself. ”

"Boy, you're not right to say that." Jin didn't change it, but he was still energetic: "What do you mean by running away?" , I don't know which second goods, when I saw the flower girl, I couldn't even move my legs, and I couldn't even figure out what I was doing. ”

"Holy! I didn't know it was going to be so complicated......"

"Knock, knock, knock!" A dull percussion sounded, interrupting my whispering with Kim.

We shut up at the same time, and looked at the voices in unison, Mu Duo'er was already standing on the stone steps, holding the copper ring in the dragon's mouth in his hand, and gently knocked on the vermilion lacquer gate.

After a while, a gap slowly opened between the two vermilion lacquer gates, and a hoarse and low voice came out of the door: "Miss, you can count it back, the master has not slept yet, and has been waiting for your news." ”

As soon as the words fell, the door slowly opened, and a bald middle-aged man in a dark blue coat stood in the vermilion lacquer gate with his body bent and smiling.

A bald middle-aged man, in his fifties, has a typical hooked nose, extremely thick eyebrows, but extremely small eyes, and a rickety body that looks a little hunchbacked. How so? At first glance, this person's face gives people a sense of insidious and cunning, which is really not very pleasing.

He stood in the doorway, with a respectful smile on his face, but his eyes were constantly grunting, and he was obviously looking around at the people outside the door.

Mu Duoer didn't seem to have a good impression of this bald middle-aged man, and her expression was a little indifferent: "Manager Zhao, I brought the guest invited by my grandfather." ”

Explorer? I took a closer look at the head of the wooden frame again, and the person who could get the position of head manager in such a big family should not be a simple person.

It can be seen that this Chief Manager Zhao does have some city government, and not only turned a deaf ear to Mu Duoer's indifferent attitude, but instead bowed down with a flattering face and made a gesture of please: "Great, the master is a little impatient to wait." ”

Mu Duoer turned around, and was still very polite to me and Jin Bu, and smiled: "Boss Jin, Brother Yi, I'll take you to see grandpa." ”

They all arrived at the door of people's homes, and if they said that they wanted to leave at this time, it would be impossible. I sighed, turned my heart sideways, and forgot it, I could only settle for what I came.

I was about to take a step forward, but I was held down by Jin Buchang's shoulder. Could it be that this little black fat man still wants to regret it now?

I was puzzled in my heart, turned my head to look, and saw Jin Buchang baring his teeth and smiling at me: "Boy, hooked nose, big baldness, plus Xiao Luo Guo, do you say lewd?" ”

"Damn!" I just feel as if there are countless black lines on my head that keep sliding, what the hell is this little black fat man going to do wool again? I really didn't want to take advantage of him, so I had to pretend I couldn't hear, ignore it, and walk forward.

Jin Buchang, who was following closely behind, was still chattering in his mouth: "Lewd or not? Boy, you mean lewdness, don't you? ……”
