"The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is estimated that it will snow in a while, so let's raise the charcoal stove with little eyes, don't freeze Childe." Shopkeeper Zhao lifted the corner of the window curtain, looked at the pedestrians outside who were shrinking their hands and wrapping their heads in the cold wind, and said in a hurry.

From the small street of the city to the street of Wencai, it is about less than ten miles away. There were not many pedestrians on the road, the carriage walked very fast, and the three of them soon came to Wencai Street in the mouth of the Zhao brothers. Wencai Street is a small street in the south of Zhixue, because it is close to Zhixue, so there are basically some bookstores, paper shops and other shops such as the four treasures of the study, in addition to two or three restaurants and inns of considerable scale. When the carriage creaked to a stop next to a vermilion gate, Shen Feng knew that the place had arrived.

After the three of them got out of the car, Zhao Xiaoyan walked up to the steps at the door and knocked on the door, while Shen Feng and Zhao Shopkeeper stood next to the carriage with their hands in hand and waited.

Maybe it was because Zhao Xiaoyan knocked on the door in a hurry, and soon, a small urinal door next to the vermilion gate opened, and a thin old man poked his head out of it, and found that it was Zhao Xiaoyan, and without even asking, he planned to close the door directly.

"I said that you old man is so unreasonable, I brought distinguished guests to the door to talk about big things, but you want to shut me out?" Zhao Xiaoyan saw this situation, and immediately blocked the door quickly, and said to the old man angrily.

"What big deal can you have? My lord doesn't buy people, and the house won't be cheap, you have a dead heart, if you really have a distinguished guest coming, then wait until you bring the distinguished guest over." The thin old man obviously didn't believe Zhao Xiaoyan's words.

"Huh, look at you old man, I can't lie to you?" Zhao Laoer, hurry up and say something, don't pretend to be dead there!" Zhao Xiao saw that the old man didn't believe him, so he shouted angrily.

"Hehe, Xingbo, we did bring a distinguished guest, is Old Man An at home?" Seeing that the old man didn't open the door, Shopkeeper Zhao walked over with a smile.

"Shopkeeper Zhao is also here, the master is in the house, the weather is cold, and it is not convenient to go out. I didn't go out for a day today. Why, did you really bring a distinguished guest today?" The same cousin, but the thin old man of the porter showed two completely different attitudes, which couldn't help but make Shen Feng a little surprised.

"Yes, I did bring a distinguished guest, you go in and tell Mr. An, if he agrees, let's go in and talk Okay, the guest is in urgent need of room now, so I can't afford to delay." I'm sorry for your old man's trouble. Zhao's shopkeeper's eloquence was obviously better than Zhao Xiaoyan's, so the thin old man also agreed with a smile.

"There's no trouble, my subordinates, that's what you do, you take the distinguished guest to the concierge room to rest, and I'll go over and inform the master." The thin old man said as he walked inside.

About a cup of tea, the old man in the porter turned back, "Shopkeeper Zhao, my lord will be reading in the Xingyin Pavilion, you know the place, I won't go, just bother you to take the distinguished guests in." ”

"Thank you Xingbo, then we'll go!" said the shopkeeper Zhao.

When Zhao Xiaoyan walked past the old man in the porter, he didn't forget to snort angrily, "You stubborn old man!"

"Thank you, old man!" Shen Feng also greeted the old man in the porter politely, and then followed the two brothers to an antique shadow wall, and then went west through the screen gate to the main entrance of the courtyard in front of the inverted house.

When Shopkeeper Zhao took Shen Feng to the upside-down room, he casually told the story about the An family, "In fact, there are not many mansions like this in the entire Feixue Town, Mr. An's ancestors were originally famous families in White Tiger City, and there were not only three townside generals in the family, but also two champions. Moreover, the family is also relatively large, and there are many clansmen who are officials in various places, and after several generations, there are countless fields, shops and houses under their names, so it can be said that the An family forty years ago is infinitely beautiful and famous in the entire empire. However, the world is unpredictable, and it is precisely because of this strength that the entire family has become the target of the princes in the battle for the throne forty years ago. At that time, because the second prince Ren Tianao's side concubine was a woman from the An family, she received the full support of the An family and became the strongest competitor among the five princes. Maybe it was providence that made people, and just when the second prince Ren Tianao was about to succeed, he was poisoned to death. The emperor was furious and tried his best to track down the real culprit, but he didn't expect that the poisoner turned out to be the side concubine of the An family, although she was completely crazy when she was found, but the anger of the saint who lost his son was on the An family. Alas, it was also a time when the New Year was about to enter like now, and the emperor planned an extremely cruel Zhulian Five Clans, and all those surnamed An or those who had a close relationship with the An family were all raided and questioned, and even the children were not spared......"

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Zhao suddenly stopped, looked at the pillar under the eaves of the fallen seat in pain, and his empty eyes seemed to return to the catastrophe of the year.

Shen Feng and Zhao Xiaoyan stood next to him and waited for a while, and found that Zhao's shopkeeper's expression seemed to be a little wrong, so Zhao Xiaoyan carefully poked Zhao's shopkeeper.

"Second brother!"

"Uh!" Shopkeeper Zhao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, and said with a forced smile: "Those are old things, don't mention them." When people are old, when they see something, they will suddenly remember some things, which makes Childe smile and bear with me. Childe, please see, the inverted room here can be inhabited by the people, and then enter the first courtyard from this door, oh, that is where the men and cooks live. You see, the environment here is good, there is a hot spring in the yard, you see that the water in this creek has not frozen on such a cold day. ”

"Well, it's really good, in fact, from these blooming flowers on the wall, you can see that Old Man An is a delicate and elegant Confucian scholar, you see, this red one should be Lamei, and the blue one in the shape of a funnel and an ancient bell should be gentian grass, right?" Shen Feng also admired the flowers and plants planted on both sides of the stream with interest.

"What's there to see here? Second brother, you haven't finished telling the story just now? What happened then? You said that everyone in the An family was killed, so why is Old Man An still alive?"

Zhao Xiaoyan was obviously attracted by his cousin's story, and he didn't care about enjoying the beautiful scenery in the courtyard at this time, but grabbed Zhao's shopkeeper's arm and asked urgently.

"Although the old man An's surname is An, the relationship is already relatively distant, he happened to go out to study at the time, and then when he heard about it, he immediately hid incognito, so he escaped. Two years later, the saint remembered that An Jia had contributed to the Mengyue Kingdom, so he decided to pardon An Jia and no longer pursue it, but at that time, the entire An family was completely ruined, and there were few remaining clansmen. ”

"Second brother, how do you know so many things about the An family?

"At that time, you were young, of course I don't remember, I was just hearsay, I can't be true!"

Shen Feng, who had just stepped up the steps and was about to enter the Hanging Flower Gate, listened to the conversation between the two brothers, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Shopkeeper Zhao deeply, and then turned his head to look inside, and said in surprise: "Ho, this is the main house, the space is really big enough!"
