As the two mottled vermilion doors opened, the true appearance of the three-entry house appeared, and when they looked up, they saw a large screen wall.

The big word Fu on the screen wall is already very broken. Next to the word Fu with paint, four big words with flying dragons and phoenixes can be vaguely identified.

"Go to the Jinshi!"

This broken and vague handwriting surprised Chen Lie slightly. This was the first time he had seen the Jinshi family, the legendary scholarly family.

It's just that it's no longer prosperous.

But such a dilapidated scene did not affect everyone's mood at all, no matter what...

The house has now become so surnamed!

"Go in and take a look!"

With a cheerful shout, Tian Hong and others walked in the front.

Yun'er supported Aunt Li and walked in the middle with Zhang Jingxiu. The timid girl Xuan'er fell to the end, and the few of them slowly walked to the mottled screen wall.

Chen Lie couldn't wait to say, "Hurry up and find a few people to repair them, wipe the words off... the door was painted black."

The colors of the gates in this era were strictly regulated. In the rituals of the Ming Dynasty, the tones were based on yellow, but that was the tones that could be used only in the palace and temple.

The residences of princes and officials use red, blue, etc., among which red is the most respectable, while the residences can only use black, gray, white, etc.

This vermilion gate is not something that a merchant family can use. To put it bluntly, this is called usurpation!

Chen Lie thought for a while and ordered: "Paint it black."

Tian Hong smiled and said, "I'm going to ask someone to do it now."

After getting the matter of the gate, the group bypassed the screen wall and walked into the front yard. Looking at the grand signing rooms on both sides, the stables pointed at them.

After all, it is a big mansion that has been built in three places or the mansion of a former official. It should have a lot of style. In the eyes of a poor man like Aunt Li...

This is the glorious ancestor!

Perhaps because she is older, Aunt Li is a little sentimental.

Or maybe I thought of Chen Lie's parents who died early, walking with Yun'er's support, and muttering something constantly in my mouth.

"I bought such a big house, this kid is so proud!"

After following the group through the alley and entering the second door, passing through the study, warehouse, living room, and through the corridor to the inner house.

Looking at the standard courtyard in the inner house.

Chen Lie turned around and smiled at the girl Xuan'er who was at the end, saying, "If the girl doesn't dislike it, please choose a room in this inner house."

A look of surprise appeared on Miss Xuan'er's pretty face, and she hurriedly bowed her hands and replied softly: "Xuan'er thanked Mr. Chen... the second shopkeeper for taking in it."

Chen Lie nodded and smiled slightly.

Miss Xuan'er thanked Chen Lie first, then secretly looked at Zhang Jingxiu, and said softly: "Xuan'er, thank you for your great shopkeeper."

Seeing that she was so well-behaved and sensible, she kept her figure very low.

Zhang Jingxiu was not able to make things difficult for her, so she nodded and replied: "Well, stay there."

So in a joyful atmosphere, Yun'er supported Aunt Li, pulled Miss Xuan'er and walked into this mansion that only the powerful could live in.

Tian Hong also sent a few men to find plasterers, bricklayers, and short-term workers, intending to repair and renovate the house.

Chen Li kept telling me to change the first yard into the back kitchen, the second yard into the warehouse, and the third yard to be used for living in the yard, which makes it much more spacious.

After saying that.

Chen Lie quickly walked to Zhang Jingxiu and whispered: "What do you think of the big shopkeeper?"

Miss Zhang nodded seriously and praised: "Yes, that's OK."

The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was indifferent.

Soon, the withered three-entry mansion became busy and watched the helpers load all kinds of debris into the car and transport them out.

Chen Lie, Zhang Jingxiu, Xuan'er and others pushed open the bedroom door in the center. As the dusty door opened, the former scholarly family appeared in front of everyone.

There was nothing left in the empty bedroom, except for some broken porcelain, and even the table and bed were gone.

Chen Lie's face was a little strange. Looking at the inner house that was cleaner than the washbasin, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Jingxiu, thinking that your brother was really cruel to search the house.

The copy was so clean!

Zhang Jingxiu felt his suspicious eyes and said coquettishly: "The house raided by Jinyiweibei Town Fushi, what do you think I'm doing?"

Chen Lie touched his nose and smiled, then waved excitedly: "Do work!"

Everyone chuckled with him. Yun'er happily found a dustpan, while Miss Xuan'er picked up a broom and swept out the broken pieces of porcelain.

In joy.

Chen Lie walked into the yard of the inner house, looked up at the bright sky, stretched comfortably, but couldn't help but feel a little sigh.

"A third-rank official must at least be a minister."

Such a good family was circulated if they were circulated.

After ten years of hard work, I got to the position of a senior official in the department step by step, and it was just a dream in the end.

It’s really like accompanying the king.

At this time, Chen Lie couldn't help but think of the Young Master Zhen who was pretending to be Emperor Wanli, and a chill suddenly felt in his heart.

Chen Lie silently made up his mind that he would have to hide from him in the future, and the farther he could hide, the better!

But the words have not ended.

The waiter and two people rushed over, walked quickly to Chen Lie, and whispered: "Second Shopkeeper, these two masters said they were looking for you."

Chen Lie nodded, looked up and saw the two of them. He felt awe-inspiring at that time. He was really afraid of anything he was going to do.

Are these two not Mr. Zhen’s guards?

People from Dongchang.

I've visited the kiln together...

Chen Lie was a little nervous, so he saw the two guards step forward and bow respectfully to him.

One of them whispered very respectfully: "I have met Mr. Chen."

The surroundings became quiet for a moment.

Yun'er, Xuan'er vaguely guessed something, looked over with concern, and Zhang Jingxiu also frowned slightly, but did not dare to say more.

Chen Lie was not very used to this title, and was stunned and saw the man approaching and whispering in his ear.

"Of course Chen, my son, please give me a visit."

When Chen Lie was slightly surprised, the two imperial guards made a gesture of invitation without saying a word, and their expressions were naturally undeniable.

Chen Lie hurriedly said, "Okay, please wait for me, Rong Chen will change his clothes."

That master asked him to go, could he refuse?

At this time, only Zhang Jingxiu dared to speak. She held the folding fan tightly and walked forward quickly, whispering: "Chenlie, be careful."

Chen Li nodded and comforted: "It's okay."

As Chen Lie and the two imperial guards hurriedly left, several women in the backyard became frightened and frightened.

Yun'er gently walked to Zhang Jingxiu and said timidly: "Big shopkeeper..."

Zhang Jingxiu clasped the folding fan in his hand tighter, but he comforted himself calmly and said, "It's okay, he can handle it."

Half an hour later.

West Garden.

Chen Lie rode his horse along the way, followed the two imperial guards slowly, and stopped outside the abandoned house outside the Xiyuan Garden.

Seeing the two guards rolling off the horse, Chen Lie hurriedly jumped off the horse's back, handed the reins to a guard, and then spread his hands open for searching.

Searched.

Chen Lie followed the two guards and entered the deep area of ​​the royal garden.

Several people walked through the pavilions and towers on the pebbles and finally arrived at a large courtyard by the lake.

As the door of the large yard was pushed open, Chen Lie saw a familiar figure in the yard.
