Next, Situ Mingyue, who was in a happy mood, asked about the basic situation of Northern Luzon, and Wufeng also picked up some local peculiar customs and customs, and Situ Mingyue was full of smiles and nodded again and again.

There were also a few ministers with gloomy faces and did not join, including Minister of Military Affairs He Zhiqiu and Minister of the Interior Lu Wenfu. And there are also a few people who are not satisfied in their hearts, but they have to pretend to be happy on the surface, which is really embarrassing.

Pleasant time always flies quickly, when Situ Mingyue asked about Wu Feng's residence, he learned that Wu Feng actually did not have a residence in Yanjing, when he gave Wu Feng a mansion located in the south and east section of Guihu Avenue in Yanjing South District, which was originally owned by an earl of the empire, but this marquis became a victim in the officialdom struggle between the imperial court and the central government, and was assigned to fill the border as early as three years ago, this residence was confiscated by the empire, and his family went with it, becoming an empty house, so he was given to Wu Feng by His Majesty the Emperor and became Wu Feng's residence in Yanjing.

After the dispersal of the court, Wu Feng, who was secretly happy, humbly chatted and laughed with the ministers who went down to the court together, and at the same time met some other ministers in the court that he did not know under the introduction of Wei Zhongxing, the minister of culture, education and health of the empire. Wu Feng's modest conversation, low-key style, and the great respect of officials who were older than him, at least on the surface, soon won the favor of many ministers who had no conflict of interest with Wu Feng.

Considering that he still has considerable hostility from opposition forces in the court, Wufeng was very low-key after entering the city, more than a hundred guards, Wufeng only brought twenty into Yanjing, in addition, Qin Shuangying and Gu Yunxia also disguised themselves as men and disguised themselves as two personal guards to protect Wufeng's safety. After all, in Yanjing, he had already broken away from Wufeng's sphere of influence, and the fish and dragons were mixed, and the dangerous surname did not know how much it had increased, Qin Shuangying felt even more pressured, and even Gu Yunxia, who was originally a little relaxed, couldn't help but become serious when she saw Qin Shuangying's nervous appearance.

Before Wu Feng, who had just walked out of the palace gate, had not yet decided where to go, an official who was already waiting outside the gate had already stepped forward.

"Lord Li, Zhang Deli of the Welfare and Logistics Department of the General Administration of the People's Republic of China has seen my lord. "When people come to look at the costumes, they should be low-level officials of the empire, and this identity may be considered a figure in other cities, but it is simply not worth mentioning in Yanjing, which means that they are a dozen miscellaneous clerks.

"Oh, Lord Zhang is very polite. Wu Feng replied kindly.

"The humble duty is to take your lord to see the mansion given to you by His Majesty the Emperor, I wonder if you are free at this time?" Zhang Deli, who was in eight poor clothes, asked respectfully with a humble face.

Wu Feng Yileng, the efficiency of the General Administration is really high, I just went out, and I was already waiting here, "Okay, you lead the way." ”

When the group came to the eastern section of Guihu Avenue, Wu Feng found that this place was not too far from the Imperial [***] Academy of Affairs where he had studied, and it was also on the same street as the residence of Duke Marco, the patriarch of the Huey family where Angel belonged, but Duke Marco's residence was in the western section, and it was still quite far from the mansion given to Wu Feng.

Walking into the courtyard of the mansion, Wu Feng almost immediately fell in love with this courtyard, the geographical location is at the end of the eastern section, the environment is very elegant, it seems that there are some poets and scholars around, and the situation is very different from the situation where the Duke of Marco is located in the western section is located. The compound is divided into three layers, and it is a courtyard with a strong Tang atmosphere.

After entering the gatehouse, it is the first weight, which should be the residence of the servants of the subordinates, the area is very large, but it is simple and simple, and the wings on both sides are arranged in a neat and orderly manner. Near the side of the gate, there is a side road leading to the east side yard, which is a side yard where vehicles and horses are parked, enough to park more than three or five carriages, the stables are clean and tidy, but no one has cleaned them for many years, and it looks a little dilapidated. In the middle of the outer courtyard, a banyan tree that was difficult for three people to hold stood in it, and probably no one came in, and many dead branches and leaves fell to the ground scattered.

Through the gate of the outer courtyard, you will enter the middle courtyard, the area of the middle courtyard is smaller, it seems more compact, the color of the room on both sides is much brighter and brighter than the outer courtyard, especially in the courtyard there is a small pond, a few residual lotus dry standing in the water, a small bridge crosses the pond, the corridors on both sides twist and turn, it looks particularly elegant, this middle courtyard is generally the residence of the servant woman and the maid and other female surnames, a small door on the left leads to the small courtyard next to it, it should be the laundry room and kitchen, and the corridor on the right leads to the west side of the courtyard, which is the guest room.

Walk through the main entrance of the middle courtyard and enter the inner courtyard, the inner courtyard is very spacious, facing the main living room, a row of swarthy carved wooden chairs have been covered with a lot of dust and spider silk, and a delicately framed calligraphy and painting on the wall next to it is still hanging on it, and the words "indifferent and bright, quiet and far-reaching" are still showing the glory of the original owner. To the east of the main living room is a small reception room, next to which is a large study. To the west, through a small gate, is the residence of the inner family, a winding corridor connecting five or six small courtyards, which is where the master's wife and concubines and minor children live.

Behind the main house is a chic small garden, a few ancient trees, a small pavilion, but no one has been managing it for a long time, overgrown with weeds, shivering in the cold wind.

After taking Wu Feng to visit, the little official surnamed Zhang secretly observed Wu Feng's face, and saw that Wu Feng was very satisfied, and he was secretly happy in his heart. Before leaving, he also told Wu Feng what he needed, even if he asked someone to recruit him at the General Administration Bureau, he was on call, Wu Feng also thought this person was quite interesting, and agreed to him with a smile.

Thinking that he has no other residence in Yanjing, although there are many empty houses in Guji, if someone knows carefully, it is inevitable that no one will find out about the relationship, Wufeng does not want to expose the relationship between Guji and himself too early, and the role of planting a shadow in Yanjing will be far better than other aspects. ]

It is impossible for him to always stay in the guest house, this is neither convenient nor a long-term solution, who knows how long he will stay in this Yanjing, thinking of this, Wu Feng made up his mind to immediately renovate the residence that the emperor gave him, so as to have a place to settle down as soon as possible.

After Zhang Deli left, Wu Feng walked around the house with Qin Shuangying and Gu Yunxia again, and then went out satisfied. The second daughter also likes this mansion very much, especially the elegant and quiet environment of the inner courtyard, the spacious and reading small courtyard, the exquisite and chic small garden at the back, and even the small forest in the garden, all of which have won the love of the second daughter.

The eastern part of Yanjing is a famous business district and entertainment district, there is a famous big market in the middle of Cathay Avenue to the north, the market is lined with huge luxury shops, the strange thing is that although the shops are luxurious and rich, but there are only some soft chairs and brocade stools, and there are no other goods, some beautifully dressed servants stand at the door, but do not greet the guests, only when the guests step into the store, these servants will be enthusiastic to welcome the front. There are no signs hanging on the outside of these shops, but everyone in Yenching knows that every shop here is engaged in the same industry, and this is the most famous slave market in Yenching.

Wu Feng and his entourage here are a little flustered, although Wu Feng is a native of Yanjing, but since he was a child, he left home, and after entering the army, he had no time to set foot in these places, only knew that there was a famous slave market in Yanjing here, and he planned to buy a few slaves here to go back to serve as miscellaneous servants, but he didn't expect to come here and find that there were many shops, and he didn't know where to start, and he couldn't help but regret that he should leave that Zhang Deli and let him lead the way for himself and act as a staff officer.

Qin and Gu Ernu have never been to this kind of place, not to mention the guards who followed behind, they were all from lower-class families, and they were promoted to Wufeng's guards after following Wufeng's bloody battle, where had they seen these scenes. Just as he was hesitating, there was a call behind him: "Lord Li, Master Li!"

Wu Feng was a little strange, could it be that he had to meet acquaintances when he walked to the door of this slave shopping mall?

Turning his head, he saw a luxurious four-wheeled carriage that had been quietly parked beside him, just from the skill of the emperor, he knew that the passengers on the car were by no means ordinary people, and several guards who followed him had already turned over and dismounted, one of them walked to the side of the wheel, gently pulled the car door, and a thin monkey-like old man slowly walked down from the car.

When Wu Feng saw it, he was about to say hello, when a luxury carriage rattled next to him, and even a few guards around him became vigilant, worried about some accidents. Without a blade, this carriage came abruptly, could it be that it was also looking for itself?

Just as he was thinking about it, the door had opened automatically, and it turned out that there was a mechanism designed on the door of this carriage, and the door would open automatically with a slight pull. A middle-aged businessman jumped out of the car, with a smile on his face, and rushed up to meet the thin monkey-like old man, holding Wu Feng's hand tightly, "Oh, Lord Li, you have worked so hard to find me, fortunately, I am well-informed, and I finally found you here." ”

The thin old man next to him turned pale with anger, and said angrily: "Gong Renquan, why are you so rude, didn't you see the old man meet Master Li first?"

With a pout, the middle-aged businessman smiled and said, "Boss Wan, I'm sorry for you today, you see, it was the younger brother who met Master Li first, right?

"Presumptuous! Even if your eldest brother comes, you don't dare to talk to the old man with this attitude, you Jiangnan people are simply too uneducated!" The thin monkey old man was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Then you should go and talk to my eldest brother, he is waiting for you in the city of Gusu Mansion, you go slowly!" The middle-aged merchant ignored the attitude of the thin monkey old man at all, and only cared about courtesy to Wu Feng.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Wu Feng had no choice but to press the surname to resolve it for the two, "I said two, both of them are characters with heads and faces, so making a big noise on the street may damage the image of the two, what's the matter, let's come down and discuss it, okay?"

Seeing that Wufeng spoke, the thin monkey old man held back his anger and saluted Wufeng, "Lord Li, congratulations, the old man heard that His Majesty the Emperor admires you very much, it is rare for you to return to Yanjing, I have already booked a seat in Xianyiju, just waiting for your visit, in the afternoon, let's go to Pinhualou to sit down, take a break, in the evening at the Imperial National Center for the Performing Arts, there is the first performance of the classic ballet "Romeo and Juliet" by the Royal Ballet of the Kingdom of Milan, I don't know if you are interested?"

He didn't pay attention to the middle-aged businessman next to him at all, obviously not taking him seriously.

A trace of anger flashed in the middle-aged businessman's eyes, but he couldn't hold back and didn't have a seizure, just stared coldly at the thin monkey-like old man, the skinny monkey old man was still the same under the middle-aged businessman's thorn-like gaze, and the appearance of no one next to him made the middle-aged businessman even more angry.

Seeing this, Wu Feng knew that if he didn't solve it, he was afraid that the two of them would really get married, and that would not be of any benefit to him, so he smiled and patted the shoulders of the two of them respectively to show affection: "I said the two of you, we are all businessmen, and we are all friends of my Li, why bother? I want to buy a few slaves here today, Your Majesty rewarded me with a residence, and I have no other family members in Yanjing, so I have to buy a few slaves as servants, if you are interested, how about we go shopping together?"

The thin monkey old man is Wan Renming, the owner of Wanfeng Qianzhuang, one of the four major money banks in Yanjing, and he is also the first imperial financial giant to enter the northwest development, and he has also been friends with Wufeng for several years, and the middle-aged businessman is the second largest money bank in the south of the Yangtze River. The second boss of Jinling Qianzhuang is also an acquaintance of Wufeng, Jinling Qianzhuang entered the development of Jinzhou is led by him, and was warmly welcomed by Wufeng, he and his eldest brother Gong Rending opened Jinling Qianzhuang headquarters in Gusu Mansion in Jiangnan County, but because the two are from Jinling Mansion, Donghai County, in order to show that they do not forget their roots, they named their money village Jinling Qianzhuang.

Both are members of the Imperial Financial Guild, but since ancient times, it has been difficult for their peers to be compatible, and the Yanjing business community and the Jiangnan business community have always been light on each other, so they are not harmonious.
