The car drove from the east gate of Fenghuangling to the direction of Shichahai in Xicheng District, and after a while, it drove to the second ring road, and then went around to the third ring road, getting farther and farther away from the destination......

The car went around the capital for a long time before returning to the direction of Shichahai. Going around to the north of Shichahai, the car turned around and arrived at Mu's house.

It is said that every inch of land in the capital is expensive, and looking at the courtyard of the Mu family, Ning Ke denied this statement.

By this time the snow had stopped and the cold wind had weakened. The Mu house is covered with thick snow, showing a solemn, noble, elegant and simple ......

The house sits in the north and faces south, and is composed of three courtyards with gradually rising terrain. The type system is regular, and the central axis is symmetrical. Blue bricks and gray tiles, brick and wood buildings, there are years old at a glance.

The gate of the courtyard is open to the southeast of the courtyard.

The east, west, south and north houses are independent, and the east and west wings are not connected with the main house and the inverted seat (south room), and there is a verandah at the corner of the house, and then surrounded by high walls to form a quadrangle.

All of the houses are one-storey, which is very different from the architectural style of the Jiangnan "well" courtyard that Ning Ke is familiar with.

The wall of the entrance blocked Ning Ke's vision, and Ning Ke instinctively released his divine sense to measure the scale of the main building.

Without a tape measure, he could accurately measure a reliable value - Ning Ke's current divine consciousness was like a three-dimensional image that could be presented by a pulse radar. This test couldn't help but make Ning Ke amazed and tongue-in-cheek. From the choice of location, positioning to the different directions of each building, it is in line with the theory of Feng Shui.

The first into the courtyard, the north room 5 rooms, the main room 5 rooms, the ear room 8 rooms, the east and west wing rooms 5 rooms each, the south house does not count the gate 4 rooms, even the gate hole, the hanging flower door a total of 27 rooms.

According to the direction of the gossip, the main house sits in the north for the kan house. "Kan" means water, there is Xunmen in the southeast, and "Xun" means wind, this architectural pattern, the source of wealth is inexhaustible, the money is smooth, and the official is knighted...... It is the so-called "Kanzhai Xunmen".

Seeing this, Ning Ke questioned "being rich for five generations". People who live in such a treasure land of feng shui, as long as they don't do things that hurt heaven and reason, where will they decay?!

The courtyard is quite spacious, with flowers and stones.

In the meantime, there are auspicious flowers and trees such as begonias and pomegranates, and a large tank raises goldfish. The courtyard is a world of its own and very private. reminded Ning Ke of the Yuanren poem, "The clouds open and the Lu is three thousand zhang, and the fog is dark and the buildings are millions." ”

Ning Ke was sighing about the good feng shui of Mu Zhai, and a group of people waited to welcome him. A beautiful woman took the lead in walking up to Ning Ke, stretched out her hand to hold his hand, her eyes were still full of tears, and her voice was sad and excited, "Good nephew, I have wronged you all these years......"

Ning Ke was a little confused, and his face was confused.

Mu An'er had already been held in her arms by her mother Dai Qing, she turned her head from her mother's arms and said to Ning Ke with a smile, "She is my second aunt and your aunt." ”

Ning Ke was even more confused when he heard this.

"I'm still Annezi smart! I'm your seventh aunt Ning Feng, Ning Ji's seventh sister...... Do you think I'm your seventh aunt?"

Only then did Ning Ke seriously examine the beautiful woman in front of him:

The complexion is excellent, with slight wrinkles at the corners of the eyes...... It gives people a kind of graceful and luxurious, fragrant clothes and sideburns, and the charm is still the appearance of a noblewoman; dressed very decently, in this midwinter season, it can also show the slender and convex figure, with the sexiness of a young lady.

At first glance, he is a pampered person, who lives a leisurely and exquisite life.

Ning Ke had a hard time judging her true age. At first glance, her age is in her thirties, and if you look closely, she seems to be forty years old.

Ning Ke could be sure that she had not cultivated, nor had she taken pills such as the Zhuyan Pill. This made Ning Ke intrigued. He released his consciousness and scanned her finger bones to see how old she was.

It didn't matter if it looked at it, but it caused Ning Ke Moming's anger!

It's not that the divine sense scans the woman's body, and the problem of peeping into privacy arises - in fact, Ning Ke just controls the divine sense within the range of scanning her palm, which does not cause the embarrassment of seeing through the body - but her real age!

Judging from her bone age, she is a full 57 years old, which is as old as Ning Ke's mother!

Ning Ke counted the bone age circles of her fingers, counted them twice, and she would definitely not be mistaken. Think of my mother, a poor old woman who compares her to herself: rough-skinned, dark-skinned, with a vicissitudes of life and a disabled, weak, thin body.

Every day, the wind and rain come and go in the hardships of life, often for firewood, rice, oil and salt, worrying and sorrowful......

"Yes, I am the son of Ning Ji, but I have never had a relative with the surname Ning! When my father was alive, he never mentioned a relative with the surname Ning......

The more Ning Ke spoke, the more angry he became, he shook the woman's hand away, looked at everyone with an angry face, and then looked at her.

"Aren't you ashamed of this woman?......! I, who came to Mu's house today, just to collect the consultation fee. ”

Everyone was surprised to hear Ning Ke's words, and froze there for a while.

The woman was already teary-eyed, and she was at a loss for a moment.

Seeing this, Mu An'er turned out to be full of grievances and tears. ——When the thunder and lightning struck the sword-shaped tombstone the day before yesterday, Ning Ke had such an angry expression, and Mu An'er still vividly remembered the scene at that time......

She couldn't stand Ning Ke's statement that she only came to her house for money.

"Hello Doctor Ning! Thank you very much for curing our family's Qin Ling's illness, and thank you for giving Qin Ling such a valuable piece of jade......"

Qin Xiaojun and his wife didn't know when they came, and seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Qin Xiaojun took the initiative to walk up to Ning Ke and greet Ning Ke.

Her beautiful wife, Yao Meifen, also smiled behind him and greeted Ning Ke.

Daughter Qin Ling snuggled up to her mother's side, with a pair of clear eyes, peeking at Ning Ke, why did the kind god doctor big brother in her heart start a temper?

Ning Ke saw Qin Xiaojun and his wife and daughter, and nodded to say hello. His complexion gradually improved, but he still felt panicked in his heart, and his stomach was full of resentment, but it was difficult to resolve it.

I happened to see Vice Minister Mu coming, and hurriedly said, "Minister Mu, you came just in time." I found Mu An'er in Phoenix Ridge, and I was cured of her cold poison. I came to Muqian today, not for anything else, I just wanted to collect the consultation fee for treatment as soon as possible, so that I could go back to Qiantang. ”

"Ah, Doctor Ning. It's easy to say that it's easy to talk about the medical expenses, it's hard for you to get to the capital, how can you say that the Mu family should also do the friendship of the landlord and entertain you......"

"No, you don't. By the way, Minister Mu, Dean Yu, are they still in the capital? My phone is out of battery, and I haven't contacted them yet. ”

"They went back to Qiantang yesterday afternoon. Vice Minister Mu paused for a moment and continued, "You will be given 5 million for the consultation, okay?"

"That's not necessary, give 2 million, the same as Major General Qin's daughter's medical fee. However, my bank card doesn't work, so you can give me cash. ”

"Cash?...... That's a bit of a hassle. Oh, you can't transfer that much money at once with mobile banking and the like...... Well, cash is cash, and it's a bit of a hassle to raise. But how do you carry it?"

Vice Minister Mu's eyes seemed to say, "2 million in cash, you are not afraid of being robbed?......"

Ning Ke smiled and didn't speak, thinking that he would never let a monk or something like the Nine Lotus Temple rob the road again.

It was a scene of warm welcome, and both the guests and the host became a little embarrassed.

Ning Ke didn't care about this, hugged his fists and said to everyone, "Okay, everyone can do it." I walked around the courtyard, admiring the feng shui of the courtyard, and called me when the consultation fee was ready. ”

Originally, Ning Ke was willing to come to the Mu family, first, he wanted to learn some about the Ning family through the Mu family, and secondly, he wanted to ask General Mu for some cultivation resources. But as soon as he arrived at the Mu family, he saw a woman who was the daughter-in-law of the Ning family and the daughter-in-law of the Mu family, who was the same age as his mother, which aroused his inexplicable resentment.

Qin Xiaojun and a middle-aged man in charge of the Mu family accompanied Ning Ke around the Mu family courtyard.

The first two entrances of the Mu family courtyard were built earlier than the third entrance. The courtyard in the last room is actually the back garden of the Mu family, which is very quiet.

There is a small bridge and a winding ditch in the courtyard, which is a good place to raise birds and fish, and stack stones to create landscaping.

Under the root of the courtyard wall flowing out of the stream to the east, there is an old plum tree, the main trunk of the tree exudes an old and vicissitudes of life, like decay but not decay;

It's the middle of winter, and the trees are full of budding plum blossoms...... There are also a few impatient flowers, which have bloomed, and when you look at them, you can feel the fragrance wafting over.

Ning Ke felt that this old plum tree was a little strange, so he released his divine sense to identify it. The rings of the trunk in the middle of the old plum tree have nearly 300 rings, which should be longer than the age of this garden.

Suddenly, he found that under the soil layer of the old plum tree surrounded by bluestone, there was a jar wrapped in plum roots.

Take a closer look, it's amazing!

The jar was filled with jewels, gold and silver, and a small pearl of the night, among which was a round piece of jade that caught his attention. This piece of jade is not large, it is in the shape of a white round platform, like a piece of the yin and yang fish on the gossip plate obtained from the Kan family......

Judging by the thickness of the roots of the plum tree that wraps the jar, the jar has been buried here for a long time.

Ning Ke asked, this mansion was originally the mansion of Jing Ying Gege in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

Jing Yingge died early, and his concubine was later involved in a major case of the prince's rebellion, and the whole family was exiled to Yili, Xinjiang, and never returned to Beijing for the rest of his life.

The original mansion only had two courtyards, which were given to the famous minister Liu Xiang in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, and after Liu Xiang moved in, he added the third garden-style courtyard at the back. During the Republic of China, this house changed hands several times, and then became the residence of the Mu family.

Ning Ke has a lot of jade jewelry from the jar, and it is estimated that the jar is most likely to be buried by Liu Xiang or his descendants, and it is less likely that Jing Yinggege or his descendants were buried.

When Jing Yinggege was alive, the third courtyard had not yet been built, and jadeite only began to rise in the middle and late Qing Dynasty, especially in the period of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who liked jadeite, jadeite had an unprecedented development.

As long as you check the history, the fate of the first two owners of this mansion can be clear. He can be sure that the jar under the plum tree has nothing to do with the Mu family.

The jar is next to the canal under the courtyard wall, and if it weren't for the old plum tree roots that wrap the jar tightly, the jar containing a very dense treasure in one or two hundred years should have moved its position a long time ago, and it is most likely to fall into the canal.

He had heard of a rich man who buried a jar of gold, silver, and jewels in the corner of a backyard wall, only to be dug up decades later by workers who were building a road outside the wall.

Ning Ke thought to himself, "Since this jar treasure has been discovered by me, how can I let it be buried here......
