Chapter 38 A Tour of Gu Mansion



"We're here." Gu Junwen threw the last nut into his mouth, propped himself up, lifted the curtain first, jumped out of the carriage and landed steadily.

The mansion that His Majesty personally ordered and the prince supervised its construction is indeed extraordinary.

The white walls, black tiles, flying eaves and painted buildings seem to condense the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, which is elegant and grand.

The plaque of the Gu Mansion has been hung up. Perhaps because they knew the owner was coming, the vermilion gate was not closed, as if to welcome him.

"Congratulations, Brother Gu. You are favored by the Emperor and have a bright future ahead of you." Qin Yanzhou had also gotten off the carriage. Seeing this scene, he suddenly approached Gu Junwen and patted him on the shoulder.

"I got it. You will be indispensable for any rare treasures in the future." Gu Junwen took Qin Yanzhou's hand away as if he was used to it, and carefully felt the coolness of the stone statue in front of the door.

Qin Yanzhou had become as stiff as a statue: "General Gu is really capable. His ability to see into people's hearts is superb."

Qin Yanzhou shook his head with emotion. The world is dangerous and money still brings a sense of security.

"Young General Gu, could you show us around?" Ye Nan put his hands behind his back and looked carefully up and down at the gate of Gu's mansion, taking the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment of the house.

"Of course, Your Majesty, Qin Tanhua, let's go into the mansion and take a look." Gu Junwen was also a little curious. She also wanted to know what was inside the mansion, so she was the first to step through the gate.

The mansion chosen by Emperor Mingde would naturally not be bad. On the contrary, in order to demonstrate the emperor's benevolence, the Gu residence could be considered luxurious.

The Gu residence, located on the west side of the residential complex of wealthy families in Kyoto, can be considered a prosperous place.

Looking east, you can see the prosperity of Kyoto. Looking west, you can see the lively life of the people in the imperial capital.

"The market is lined with pearls and jade, and every house is filled with silk and satin." It is extremely convenient for the Gu Mansion to be located in such a place.

The road is convenient and leads in all directions. Although the carriage took a long time to get from the Nanwang Mansion, if you calculate carefully, it is only half a street away.

The house was renovated several times and was eventually converted into a two-story courtyard with a typical Jiangnan style.

The pavilions, lakes, springs and stone bridges in the courtyard are all connected by wind and rain corridors. The porch is decorated with flowers and plants, and the window lattices are decorated with colorful paintings. There is a scene at every step, which is full of artistic conception.

"Brother Gu, don't think it's too big. The whole courtyard is for receiving guests, and the backyard is for daily living. You can be alone." Qin Yanzhou got Gu Junwen's promise. He was blinded by the money and said nice things without paying. "When you have a wife in the future, this house..."

The more you talk, the more outrageous it gets.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Gu Junwen really wanted to give Qin Yanzhou a beating. What was he talking about?

The blind date conference in a few days was already a headache enough, and now she just wanted to breathe some fresh air and feel the calm before the storm.

"The yard is nice, it's enough."

After wandering around lazily for nearly an hour, Ye Nanyi, who had been very frugal with words since he entered the room, also gave his evaluation.

"That's good, Your Highness, you can go about your business now." Gu Junwen yawned with her hands covering her mouth, then stretched vigorously. After accompanying him for a whole morning, she was tired.

"You know it again?" Facing Qin Yanzhou's puzzled gaze, Ye Nanyi stopped and carefully observed the expression on Gu Junwen's face with an expression that said "I should have thought of it a long time ago."

"No, I didn't say anything." Gu Junwen waved his hands repeatedly, wishing he could slap himself in his heart.

It was all my fault for speaking too quickly. If I hadn't said that one more word, she might have gone back to sleep.

"Then I should thank you for your talkativeness." System 101 also yawned and shook itself apart. After such a long time, the progress bar finally slowed down to a crawl again.

"What's going on? Your Majesty, General Gu, we are the three famous heroes of Kyoto after all, you can't abandon me."

Thinking of the servants from the Qin Mansion who were following closely behind him, Qin Yanzhou felt his scalp tingling. He didn't want to go home at this moment.

"Follow me." Ye Nan, who had already let it go, stopped pretending and walked out without looking back.

Although three people are a big target, they can also confuse one or two people who are spying secretly.

"Your Highness, wait a moment." Gu Junwen, who had no choice but to travel, compromised, but she would never give in when it came to food. She said firmly, "I haven't had breakfast yet. I'll buy some osmanthus cake."

"Go." Ye Nanyiyi no longer had the temper to retort, and waved his hand to signal Gu Junwen to make a quick decision.

"I'm going too." Qin Yanzhou touched his stomach, which was already tired after running for the whole morning. He looked at Ye Nanyiyi's face carefully, and still followed him.

"Your Highness, he's not at home." Lin Lin, who had been waiting for a long time, finally found the opportunity and walked to Ye Nanyi's side and whispered carefully.

Ye Nanyi listened quietly without saying anything, and there was no reaction on his face. It was as if Lin Lin was talking about an insignificant little thing, not the truth that had troubled him for six years.

"Prince, would you like some osmanthus cake?" The heartless Gu Junwen had already taken a bite of the steaming osmanthus cake. Her face was filled with happiness, and she waved and shouted at Ye Nan from a distance.

"I don't want to eat. Please mind your manners." Ye Nan waved his hand, motioning Lin Lin to step aside first, and was about to walk towards Gu Junwen.

"Your Highness." Lin Lin suddenly grabbed Ye Nanyi's sleeve, restraining Ye Nanyi's steps. His voice sounded a little surprised but could not hide his joy.

"how?"

"Your Highness, the lame man behind General Gu is Ashan!" Lin Lin pointed over excitedly.

Ye Nanyi looked in the direction of Lin Lin's finger, and there was indeed a lame man standing behind Gu Junwen.

The man was only fifty years old, but his hair was already covered with white frost. The wrinkles on his face showed the hardships he had lived through, and the ruthlessness of time had long bent his back.
