Chapter 148

The Li Mansion was originally not big, only the front and back courtyards, the gate picked up guests, and the next person walked through the side door. Jia Liuye took out all his blood capital during the repair, first ate all the wasteland on the bank of the Laiqing River outside the east wall, then bought a large depression outside the south wall, and also won more than 30 courtyards outside the west wall at a high price. He divided the entire Guyan Mansion into five courtyards: front, middle, back, left and right, with a mansion gate and two side doors, twenty-three large and small warehouses and a wharf, and the area was nearly fifty times larger than the original Li Mansion. On the basis of the original Li Mansion Gate, the five steps have been added by three steps, the door is eight feet wide and five feet higher, the threshold is also one foot three inches high, and the double door is golden, showing the grandeur and nobility of the master of the Lonely Goose Mansion. The five stone steps under the entrance gate are the front yard, bounded by the cobblestone road, the left is the bamboo forest, the right is the cypress, the middle is the rockery scattered in the middle of the lake, there are plants and flowers in the rockery, there are pavilions, and the rockery is connected by the Jiangnan stone arch bridge with the unique shape. There is a courtyard called the left courtyard next to the bamboo forest, the courtyard is the "mouth" type building, the blue bricks and black tiles, there are eighty-four large and small chambers around, the middle is the courtyard, put some stone locks and plum blossom piles that are usually used to practice martial arts, and also erect more than a dozen big columns used to kill cattle and pigs, and there are more than 600 people who live here who are taken in by the Guyan Mansion and the three religions and nine refugees. There is a courtyard next to the cypress tree called the right courtyard, and there is a row of five side houses against the wall on the right side of the entrance, and a large room that can park twenty sedan cars and fifty carriages. On the left are ten rows of stables, each with the capacity to tie fifty horses. On the opposite side against the wall, there is a large house stacked with horse materials, with sixteen or seventeen large haystacks of three zhang high on the left and right, and a large open space left in the middle is used for walking horses. In the middle of the left and right courtyards is the wallless front yard. A three-storey building with eaves and corners, carved and painted buildings, blue bricks and green tiles, is the main building of the Lonely Goose Mansion. Downstairs there is a lobby, a guest hall, and a side hall. On the second floor there is a lobby, eighteen large wings, and sixteen small wings. On the third floor, there are 28 large wings and 36 small wings. The main entrance of the building is aligned with the house gate, but there is a lake rockery in the middle. Trees and flowers. Therefore, when you enter the mansion, you can't see where this gate is, so you have to go around the lake and enter from the left and right. This building is large and leads directly to the middle courtyard, so there is a door. When you go out, you can see the rockery on the left. On the right is the pond. Small bridge on the front flowing water. Exotic flowers and plants are very quiet. Although this front yard is the main building, it is used for the Lonely Goose Mansion to receive guests or celebrate festivals. A feast of black and white ceremonies. The middle courtyard is the courtyard second only to the backyard in the area of the five courtyards of the Lonely Goose Mansion, and it is also a "mouth" shaped building, which contains 13 warehouses of various sizes such as granaries and wine warehouses, treasury silver, dry goods from the north and south, and sundries. There are eight kitchens of different levels of chef, guest chef, upper servant chef and lower servant chef. There was also a pharmacy, four of the nursing homes, three of the upper servants, forty of the lower servants, and thirty-two vacant rooms. There is a large field with the shape of "concave" behind the warehouse, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, which is the wharf of Guyanfu that connects the Laiqing River, and five big boats can be docked at the same time on the water surface of the "concave" shape. There are also some stone locks and stone burdens among the trees in the middle of the courtyard, which are used by the people in the house to practice martial arts in their spare time. There is a river in the middle courtyard, and the stone arch bridge is the backyard. This backyard is the place where the owner of the Lonely Goose Mansion enjoys, except for the housekeeper and the servant, no one else is allowed to step on the stone arch bridge for half a step, otherwise it will be a capital crime. And this backyard is divided into two houses: front and back. The front yard is used by the housekeeper of the Lonely Goose Mansion, and the Haiyan Gang where the master is located, and the brother of the Dragon Slaying Sect. There is a row of bungalows with 28 wings on the east and west walls, and on both sides of the door against the wall in the north and south, there are eight wings on both sides, and the middle field is used by everyone to practice martial arts. After passing the spacious Sun Gate in the middle, you will arrive at the backyard in the backyard, where the owner of the Lonely Goose Mansion lives. There are thirteen two-storey exquisite carved small buildings at the entrance of more than ten zhang, Geng Feng, Mo Jing, Xiulan, Qingyun, Jasper, Xiao Fei'er, Peony Sisters, Bai Wen has accounted for eight of them, and the remaining seven are reserved for the Empress Dowager Longqing, Niangniang, and the princess. In front of the building is a vacant land for martial arts, there is a row of houses and a row of two-story buildings built against the west wall facing east, the row of houses is the wine warehouse granary in the backyard, there are eight small warehouses such as dry goods in the north and south, three kitchens, and one pharmacy. There are forty-two wings on each side of the building, which are used by the four aliens of Longqing Heavy Minister, the Three Gods of the Demon Realm, the Hundred Poison Demon King, the Flame Witch, the Seven Heroes of the Central Plains, the Three Heroes of the Western Regions, the Old Monsters of Changbai Mountain, the Wild Crane Villa, the Liuyin Villa, the Tile Thorn People, and the disciples of Ziyunguan. On the east wall facing west, there was a stable for 100 horses, and three warehouses for all kinds of fine horse materials, one of which was used for hay stacking. Next to the warehouse are large bamboo forests, flower beds, and willow forests. Behind the carved small building is the place where the owner relaxes and appreciates the flowers, there are rockery lakes, small bridges and flowing water, there are bamboo forests and flowers, which are very pleasing to the eye. And what the hostess likes the most is a small mound of thirteen or fourteen zhang high that occupies most of the backyard area and is piled up with idle soil. At this time, all kinds of trees and bamboos have been planted on the mound, and the bluestone slab path leads to the four-storey hexagonal tower at the top of the mountain.

The Guyan Mansion is big, and some subordinates will go up, Jia Liuye has become the head of the house, and his power is like Zhong Lei, the head of Tianbo Mansion at that time, and Qingzhou Mansion does not know how many official histories and rich people want to tie him up. Shi Long is the head of the sect, and he selected fifty young and strong men who can fight from the left courtyard, and is in charge of patrolling the government and dealing with the subordinates who make mistakes. And the most powerful in the housekeeper is the administration, which governs the middle, left and right courtyards of the house. The housekeeper in the front yard is Ke San, the housekeeper in the backyard is Jiang Tong, even the donkey has become the head of the people in the house, Yahuan and the old mother are all under Mei Hui's management, and all the people who patrol the house are Meishan's subordinates. Jiao, Ajuan, Chunliu, Xia Yu, Qiu Yang, and Dong Xue, who have been promoted to servants, each bring three maid rings to serve a lady. And the three doors of the Lonely Goose Mansion also have their own names, and they can't go wrong. The gate of the mansion is usually guarded by four people, four shifts a day, in addition to the master and the master's guests, only the housekeeper, apprentice, and servant of the Guyan Mansion can enter and exit. There are two people guarding the left door, which is also divided into four shifts, for the idlers, subordinates, idlers and relatives and friends of the Lonely Goose Mansion to enter and exit here. There is a person guarding the right door, only guarding the day, and it is dedicated to more than a dozen families in the city to deliver daily fish, meat and vegetables to Guyan Mansion, and load and unload goods in the house.

Besides, the man guarding the door heard Zhang Shang mention the word "master", and he hurriedly asked people to report to Meishan, the leader of the gatekeeper. When Mei Shan heard this, he knew that the young master's apprentice had arrived, so he hurriedly went to the backyard and shouted, "Sixth master." The young master's apprentice arrived, and it was the old monster of Changbai Mountain. After a while, I saw Jia Liuye and Shi Zheng come out, and Meishan hurriedly walked through the middle courtyard, the front yard, and arrived at the gate of the mansion. Bao Xin said: "There are 3,000 taels of gold on the carriage, 4.5 million taels of silver tickets, and 200,000 taels of silver. Five boxes of rare treasures. One hundred and eighty pieces of Tang Sancai and three hundred paintings of celebrities are our filial piety to our master and mother, and it is too attractive to be outside. Jia Liuye instructed Meishan. Quickly put the boxes and rings in front of the stone arch bridge leading to the backyard. Immediately led the old monsters of Changbai Mountain to the backyard.

Biyu just gave birth to a daughter and is still in confinement. Xiulan hugged her son, with Qingyun, and Geng Feng with a big belly. Mo Jing, Xiao Fei'er came out. Ding Yue, Zheng Min, and Mei Ying saw that they were busy supporting these three masters. Bao Xin stretched out his hand to take the little junior brother from the eighth master's hand, and Jia Liuye said: "Five ladies, they have brought a total of 4.5 million taels of silver tickets, 200,000 taels of silver, five boxes of rare treasures, 180 pieces of Tang Sancai, 300 pieces of celebrity calligraphy and painting, 3,000 taels of gold, and 40 rings, I have ordered Meishan to collect them." Xiulan pointed to a group of apprentices and said with a smile: "With so many things, I don't know how many big families are going to suffer, maybe they are still crying at the moment." Hao Jiande said with a smile: "Eighth Master, we really didn't come nonsense this time, all we took were those corrupt officials." Hu Xie said: "If the big households eat it all, let alone get seventy or eighty million taels of silver, but I am afraid of being scolded by the master, so I don't dare to do it." Everyone was talking and laughing, Xia Yu arrived in the backyard, and when he saw Qingyun, he said: "Madam, there are a lot of maids chattering outside, and they look very watery and watery, so annoying, you can help the slave and maid to get one." Qingyun smiled and said to Geng Feng, Mo Jing, Xiulan, and Xiao Fei'er: "Or go and take a look at those maids, if you like, we will pick four each, and then pick four for the old ten." Mo Jing nodded, Xiao Fei'er applauded, everyone went out of the backyard together, crossed the stone arch bridge, Jia Liuye shouted to the forty Yahuan: "Wait and listen, stand up, whatever Madame asks must answer truthfully, don't speak." ”

These forty rings were originally sold to the rich as concubines by the shopkeeper of the horse market in Shunde Mansion at a high price, so they are all charming and beautiful, everyone is exquisite, and standing in one place is even more beautiful, and it is really attractive. Geng Feng is the eldest of the ladies in the Lonely Goose Mansion, and the husband is not there, and she is in charge of all major matters. But she is not a woman who loves to take power and is domineering, and she will discuss everything with Mo Jing and the five people, so no one has an opinion on her. She saw that these maids were all thirteen, four, five, or six years old, and after asking some words, she said to Mo Jing, Xiulan, Qingyun, and Xiao Fei'er: "There are already so many maids in the house, so let's just let them all practice martial arts, and first hand it over to Ah Jiao and the six of them to talk about the rules in the house." But what kind of kung fu to learn, wait for the prince to come back. Just like that, the forty eight-sided delicate maid rings all entered the backyard and handed them over to Ah Jiao and the six of them to explain the rules of the house and the backyard. The old monsters of Changbai Mountain first moved the box into the backyard treasury, and then went to greet the tenth senior sister and meet the little sister who had just been born. After living in the backyard of the Guyan Mansion, the old monsters of Changbai Mountain practiced in the martial arts practice field in the backyard all day long, and did not go out of the house to hang out, just hoping that the master would come back as soon as possible, so as not to worry about the six masters all day long.

Soon, Peony and Xuemei came back, Qingyun saw it and hurriedly asked: "How is it, is there any news from your brother?" Peony shook her head and sighed, Xuemei said: "Ninth sister-in-law, the disciples of the Haiyan Gang and Zhao Laoqi are all dispatched, Yehe Villa, Liuyin Villa are also looking around, Hu Yanhao and Yun Jian also entrusted their friends in the rivers and lakes, all the cities and counties, all towns and villages have been searched, but there is no trace of my brother, it is really strange." Qingyun hurriedly comforted: "You two don't be anxious, with his kung fu, who can hurt him again." You two have been busy for two months, go and rest. Peony asked, "Ninth sister-in-law, is the tenth sister-in-law born?" Qingyun nodded and said, "It's a daughter, it's very cute." Peony Xuemei listened and hurriedly led the BMW into the stable to see the ten sisters-in-law, mother and daughter. When the old monster of Changbai Mountain heard that the master was gone, he was very anxious, so he said to the junior disciples: "Since I have searched all over the Guan, I am thinking, it must be that the five monsters of Liaodong have fled back to their hometown, and the Master has also chased after them, that is, they are outside the Guan." It's no wonder that the Haiyan Gang and the brothers of the Dragon Slayer Sect can't be found. Hao Jiande said: "Then what are you still doing in a daze, go to find it outside the gate." Hu Xie said: "Yes, yes, maybe you can really bump into the master." The old monster of Changbai Mountain nodded and said, "I think so too." However, you can't go to all of them, and you have to hire people in the house. Shi Shanzhu said: "Senior brother, you can decide who you will go and who will stay." The old man of Changbai Mountain said: "Senior Brother Shi and Senior Sister Ding, you two take eight senior brothers to stay in the mansion, don't forget to patrol the night at night, and protect your sister." Shishan Zhu Ding Yue nodded, and the old monster of Changbai Mountain continued: "When you come back, bring some cattle and sheep or something, and you will definitely need to use them at the wedding banquet." Senior Brother Hao, you go and prepare quickly, lead the horse and wait for me outside the mansion, and I will go to bid farewell to the six senior sisters. Everyone had nothing to prepare, only Mei Ying took the silver ticket and put it in her arms, and then gave each person two hundred taels of silver for backup, and then went to the right courtyard to lead the horse out of the house and wait. After a while, Peony Xuemei came out with a BMW and the old monster of Changbai Mountain. "Their brother and sister have a deep affection, and they insist on going to Guanwai together, and even the teacher can't persuade them. The old monster of Changbai Mountain said a word, waved his hand to let everyone get on the horse, and went to find the master outside the gate with a stick.

Besides, after Tianxiao killed Wei Sheng and others in Gucheng that day, he indiscriminately searched for traces of the five monsters in Liaodong on the prairie. But this grassland is too big, and it is difficult to distinguish between east and west, north and south, and it is so blind for a few months, and the horse also dies of illness. He couldn't find anything to eat, and he was hungry and hungry, so he could only use the plum gun as a crutch, so he thought that he would come across a yurt, and hoped to find a shepherd, even if he could meet some birds and beasts to feed his hunger. But I walked for three days in a row, and I was hungry for three days, and the taste of hunger was really uncomfortable. When he was stumbling, he didn't want to meet the five monsters of Liaodong on the grassland near the Demu Hewei, which was really a narrow road. But Tianxiao is tired and hungry, and in the face of a strong enemy, he can only use all his tricks to fight for his life, which can be said to be all the kung fu. This battle of life and death ended with a lot of vicious killing, killing three, four, and five of the five monsters in Liaodong, and he himself was wounded in seventeen places, exhausted, pale, sitting on the ground gasping for breath, thinking about what move to use before dying to kill the mountain leopard who had also been seriously injured and fell to the ground. The two of them were just consuming their eyes, their expressions heavy, and they both knew that the other party had reached their limit, and they could kill the opponent with just one move.
