Zhou Zijian bowed down and said, "Thank you, owner." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info can you go and settle the account of the store first, and then go to the line?"

Ximen Kuanghui smiled slightly: "Of course you can." ”

Ximen Kuanghui turned his head and said to Ximen Zairen: "Zairen, you accompany Zhou Gongzi to the store, and then settle Zhou Gongzi's store account." It was not easy for Zhou Gongzi to arrive for the first time. Since we've hired him, let's help to the end. ”

Simon Jae-in nodded yes.

Zhou Zijian's eyes were red, and tears almost fell: "I really don't know how to thank the owner." ”

Ximen Kuanghui smiled faintly and said, "Rely on your parents at home and your friends when you go out." A little thing, not enough. ”

Ximen Zairen pulled out two horses from the backyard of the house. The two of them rode to the store and quickly settled the restaurant's food bill. Then the two of them beat their horses and whipped and marched towards Dongping Town.

It wasn't until the red sun fell in the west and the jade rabbit rose in the east that the two came to a manor on the edge of Dongping Town.

The manor in front of him covers an area of no less than a thousand hectares, and Zhou Zijian couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a big manor this is.

The two walked for another stick of incense and came to a house. From a distance, the house is just as large.

Simon knocked on the door before Jen stepped forward.

A moment later, the door opened, and an old man walked inside. The old man was about seventy years old, his hair and beard were all white, and his old face was full of wrinkles.

When the old man saw Ximen Zainen, he hurriedly knelt down tremblingly and asked for peace: "The little one has seen the chief manager." ”

Ximen Zairen hurriedly stepped forward to help him and said, "Liu Tou, how many times have I told you?" You're so old, don't have so many courtesies. Now tell the kitchen to make us something to eat and get a jug of wine. ”

Liu Laohan nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, I'll inform the master now." ”

Ximen Zairen took out twenty taels of silver from his bosom and handed it to Liu Laohan, saying, "From tomorrow, you will leave." The proprietor will give you twenty taels of silver, and you will be good when you go back. If you don't get used to it at home, come back. The proprietor said, this will always be your home. ”

Liu Laohan took the silver, tears welled up in his eyes, and he kept muttering: "Thank you to the owner, thank you to the manager." After speaking, you have to kneel and kowtow.

Ximen Zairen grabbed the old man, sighed, and said, "Hurry up." ”

As he walked, the old man wiped his tears and muttered something in his mouth.

The next day, Liu Laohan rode away on a donkey.

After Simon Zairen sent Liu Laohan away, he gathered all the people in the house. There are ten people cleaning in this house, three people cooking, and one gardener.

Ximen Zairen announced to everyone: The fourteen people in the house must listen to Zhou Zijian's arrangement, and each person has three days off every month. Zhou Zijian couldn't leave this house for a single step, unless Ximen was in Ren, or the owner of Ximen Zhuang was there. All food and drink are provided regularly by Simon Jae-jen. Zhou Zijian's ten taels of silver were Simon's salary in advance. Zhou Zijian was very satisfied with the salary, but not being able to leave the house made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Zijian rested for a night, and when he got up in the morning, he felt refreshed and relaxed, so he walked around the Zhuang house.

Last night, because it was too late when Zhou Zijian arrived, he didn't pay much attention to the house. At this moment, I found out that this mansion is really big, covering an area of more than 100 acres.

In the middle of the house is a large garden, in the middle of which there is a circular lake, and in the center of the lake sits a white pavilion. There is a stone bridge between the pavilion and the garden. The pavilion is three feet high, covering an area of about one acre in size, which is very magnificent. In the south-facing direction of the pavilion, there is a black lacquered plaque with three big characters written on it: Laojun Pavilion.

There are a total of eight courtyards around the garden, each of which is the size of a dozen acres. There is a small building in each courtyard, with three floors and a total of more than a dozen rooms. The style and pattern of each building are exactly the same, and the direction is facing the Laojun Pavilion in the center of the garden.

These eight courtyards, together with the garden in the center, form a Bagua Taiji diagram.

Zhou Zijian was very puzzled in his heart: this mansion is so big, but there are only a dozen people living in it. And the owner of the village, Ximen Kuanghui, is not here. The most strange thing is that since there is no one living in this village, why did it have to build this strange appearance of gossip.

Zhou Zijian thought about it, and didn't feel that he was angry: "Zhou Zijian, what's wrong with you? What are you doing in charge of other people's houses? Just do your business honestly." ”

Zhou Zijian is most familiar with the master Fu Hou Tongbao in this mansion, because Hou Tongbao's meals are very appetizing. And Hou Tongbao always nodded in front of Zhou Zijian, full of spring breeze. This made Zhou Zijian, who has always been looked down upon, feel respect that he has never had.

Since then, Zhou Zijian has lived in this house. If you have nothing to do, go east and look west, and inspect the house in the morning, noon and evening. Over time, Zhou Zijian also felt bored, and practiced swords in the garden in his spare time.

On this day, Zhou Zijian was practicing swordsmanship in the garden, and someone suddenly exclaimed loudly in his ears: "Good swordsmanship!"

Zhou Zijian hurriedly retreated, and when he looked back, he saw two people standing behind him, it was Ximen Kuanghui and Ximen Zairen. It was Ximen Kuanghui who applauded.

Zhou Zijian hurriedly put away the sword, walked to Ximen Kuanghui, bowed down and said, "Meet the owner of Ximen Village." ”

Ximen Kuanghui smiled and said, "Master Zhou, it seems that what you practiced today is not Qingping's swordsmanship. But I don't know what kind of swordsmanship it is?"

Zhou Zijian pondered for a moment and said: "The swordsmanship practiced in Xia is called 'Seven Uniques'. ”

Ximen Kuanghui looked Zhou Zijian up and down, nodded, and said, "Seven Absolute Swords, good name." ”

Zhou Zijian smiled awkwardly: "I haven't been able to get the essence of this sword since I practiced it, which made the owner of Ximen Zhuang laugh." ”

Ximen Kuanghui smiled: "Gongzi Zhou, why be too humble. ”

Zhou Zijian rolled his eyes and said, "Master Ximen Zhuang, I have always had a question in my heart when I came to this village. I don't know if to talk about it?"

Ximen Kuanghui nodded and said, "But it's okay to say. ”

Zhou Zijian asked, "Master Ximen Village, what is the name of this village?"

Ximen Kuanghui smiled slightly: "The name of this village is Bailiu Villa." ”

Zhou Zijian continued to ask: "Why is this mansion built according to gossip?"

Ximen Kuanghui said with a smile: "This village was originally called Bagua Village, and it used to be my ancestor's inheritance. Later, I thought the name was too earthy, so I changed the name. When I was a child, my father planted 100 large willow trees around Zhuangzi, so I renamed the villa Bailiu Villa. ”

Zhou Zijian nodded, staring at Ximen Kuanghui with his eyes, and asked, "This mountain villa is so big, why are there so few people living in it." And you don't live in this house, owner?"
