Next, Situ Mingyue, who was in a happy mood, asked about the basic situation of Northern Luzon. Wufeng also picked up some strange local customs and customs introductions. When Situ Mingyue smiled and nodded repeatedly, some tactful ministers met and laughed when they saw that His Majesty the Emperor was in a very relaxed mood.

There were also several ministers with gloomy faces and did not join, including the Minister of Military Affairs He Zhiqiu and the Minister of Interior Lu Wenfu. There were also several ministers who were not satisfied with it, but had to pretend to be happy on the surface, which was really difficult.

Happy time always passes quickly. When Situ Mingyue asked about Wufeng's residence, she learned that Wufeng had no house in the imperial capital, so she immediately gave Wufeng a large mansion located in the southeast section of Guihu Avenue in the southern part of the imperial capital. This was owned by a count of the empire, but this marquis became a victim in the imperial court struggle. He was sent to the border three years ago. This house was confiscated by the empire, and his family left and became an empty house. So he was given to Wufeng by His Majesty the Emperor and became Wufeng's residence in the imperial capital.

After the court was dispersed, Wufeng, who was secretly happy, was chatting and laughing with the ministers who went to the court with him, while also meeting other ministers in the court whom he did not know under the introduction of Wei Zhongxing, the Minister of Culture, Education and Health. Wufeng's modest conversation, low-key style, and respected the officials older than him. At least on the surface, he quickly won the favor of many ministers who had no conflicts with Wufeng.

Considering that he had quite opposing forces in the court, Wufeng was very low-key after entering the city, with more than 100 guards, Wufeng brought only twenty into the imperial capital. In addition, Qin Shuangying and Gu Yunxia also disguised themselves as men and disguised as two close guards to protect Wufeng's safety. After all, in the imperial capital, he had already left Wufeng's sphere of influence, and the danger was mixed, and Qin Shuangying felt that the pressure was doubled. Even Gu Yunxia, ​​who was originally a little relaxed, couldn't help but become serious when she saw Qin Shuangying's nervous look.

Wufeng, who had just walked out of the palace gate, had not yet considered where to go, an official who had been waiting outside the gate had already come forward.

"Mr. Li, Zhang Deli, the Welfare and Logistics Department of the General Administration of Beishi, has met with the Lord." The person who came to see the clothes should be a low-level official of the empire. This identity may be a personal figure in another place, but it is simply not worth mentioning in the imperial capital. It means that it is just a dozen miscellaneous staff.

"Oh, Lord Zhang is so polite." Wufeng replied kindly.

"I am going to take you to see the house given to you by His Majesty the Emperor. I wonder if you are free now?" Zhang Deli, who was wearing a poor dress, asked with a humble look on his face and respectfully.

Wufeng was stunned. The Executive Office's efficiency was really high. He had just left the door and was already waiting here, "Okay, you can lead the way."

The group came to the eastern section of Guihu Avenue. Wufeng then found that this place was not too far from the Imperial Military Academy where he had studied. It was also on the same street as the residence of Duke Marco, the patriarch of the Huey family, where Angel was located. However, Duke Marco's residence was in the western section, and it was still quite far from the mansion given to Wufeng.

When he walked into the courtyard, Wufeng almost caught a glimpse of the courtyard. It was located at the end of the eastern section and the environment was very elegant. It looked like there were some poets and scholars around him, which was very different from the situation where the wealthy families and wealthy families were gathered in the area where the Duke of Marco was located in the western section. The courtyard was divided into three levels and was a courtyard with a strong Tang clan atmosphere.

After entering the gatehouse, it is the first level. It should be the residences of servants and servants. It is large in area, but simple and simple, with the wing rooms on both sides neatly arranged. Near the gate, there is also an access road leading to the east side courtyard, which is a side courtyard where vehicles and horses are parked. It is enough to park three or five carriages. The horse house is clean and tidy, but no one has cleaned it for years, which looks a bit dilapidated. In the middle of the outer courtyard, a banyan tree that three people are hard to hold stands in it, probably no one has come in, and many dead branches and leaves fall scattered on the ground.

After passing through the gate of the outer courtyard, you enter the intermediate courtyard. The area of ​​the intermediate courtyard is smaller and looks relatively compact. The colors of the rooms on both sides are much brighter and brighter than that of the outer courtyard. Especially in the courtyard, there is a small pond in which several decayed lotus stand in the water, a small bridge passes through the pond, and the corridors on both sides are twisted and twisted, making it particularly elegant. The intermediate courtyard is usually home to the residence of female servants such as maids, maids, and maids. A small door on the left leads to the next courtyard, which should be the laundry room and kitchen, while the corridor on the right leads to the side courtyard on the west, which is the guest room.

You can pass through the main entrance of the middle courtyard and enter the inner courtyard. The inner courtyard is very spacious. It is opposite the main living room. A row of black carved wooden chairs have been covered with a lot of dust and spider silk. A delicately mounted calligraphy and painting on the next wall is still hanging on it. The words "Indifferent and clear your ambitions, tranquility and far-reaching" still indicate the glory of the original owner. To the east of the main living room is a small reception room, next to a large study room. To the west, pass through a small door, it is the residence of the inner family. A winding corridor connects five or six small courtyards. Dalei is where the owner's wife and concubines and minor children live.

Behind the main room is a unique small garden, with a few ancient trees and a small pavilion, but no one manages it for a long time, with weeds growing and trembling in the cold wind.

After taking Wufeng to visit, the minor official surnamed Zhang secretly observed Wufeng's expression. Seeing that Wufeng was very satisfied, he was also secretly happy. Wufeng politely declined the proposal of helping him recruit servants and servants, but generously gave him three gold coins to reward him, and he was so happy that he went there with great gratitude. Before leaving, he told Wufeng if he needed anything, even though he asked someone to go to the Executive Office to recruit him, he would be there at any time. Wufeng also thought this person was quite interesting and agreed to him with a smile.

Thinking that he had no other residences in the imperial capital, although there were many empty houses in Guji, if someone had a careful understanding, it would inevitably be impossible for someone to discover the relationship between him. Wufeng didn't want to expose Guji's relationship with him too early. The role of installing a dark son in the imperial capital will be far better than other aspects.]

It is impossible for me to stay in the inn always. This is neither convenient nor a long-term solution. Who knows how long I will stay in this imperial capital? Thinking of this, Wufeng made up his mind to immediately fix the house given to him by the emperor, so that he could have a place to settle down as soon as possible.

After Zhang Deli left, Wufeng and Qin Shuangying and Gu Yunxia took a good time in the house, and then went out with satisfaction. The two girls also liked this big house very much, especially the elegant and quiet environment in the inner courtyard, the spacious and independent courtyard, the exquisite and unique small garden behind, and even the small woods in the garden, which were deeply loved by the two girls.

The eastern district of the imperial capital is a famous commercial and entertainment district. There is a famous large market in the middle of Cathay Avenue north. There are huge and luxurious shops in the market. Strangely, although the shops are luxurious and wealthy, there are only some soft chairs and brocade stools and no other products. Some exquisitely dressed servants stand at the door but do not greet guests. Only when the guests step into the store will these servants warmly welcome them. There are no signs hanging outside these shops, but people in the imperial capital know that every shop here is engaged in the same industry, and this is the most famous slave market in the imperial capital.

Wufeng and his party were a little stunned. Although Wufeng was from the imperial capital, he left home since he was a child and had no time to enter these places after entering the army. He only knew that the emperors had famous slave markets here and planned to buy a few slaves here to serve as servitudes. Unexpectedly, when he came here, he found that there were many shops and he had no idea where to start. He couldn't help but regret that Zhang Deli should be left, let him lead the way and act as a counselor.

Qin and Gu had never been in this kind of place. Not to mention the guards who followed him, they all came from lower classes and were promoted to Wufeng's guards after fighting bloody battles. They had never seen these scenes. While hesitating, a cry came from behind: "Mr. Li, Lord Li!"

Wufeng was a little surprised. Could it be that he would meet an acquaintance when he walked to the door of this slave shopping mall? He had just entered the imperial capital!

Turning around, I saw a luxurious four-wheeled carriage parked quietly beside me. Judging from the driver's skills, I knew that the passengers in this car were not ordinary people. The guards following me were already turning over and dismounting. One of them stepped to the shaft and gently opened the door. An old man like a thin monkey slowly walked out of the car.

When Wufeng saw it, he was about to greet him. A luxurious carriage slammed against him. Even the guards around him became alert, worried about any accident. Wufeng was stunned. The carriage came abruptly. Could it be that he was also here to find him?

Just as I was thinking, the car door had been opened automatically. It turned out that a mechanism was designed on the carriage door. The driver only needed to pull it gently and the car door would automatically open. A middle-aged businessman jumped out of the carriage, smiling all over his face, and rushed to meet the old man who looked like a thin monkey, holding Wufeng's hand tightly, "Oh, Lord Li, you have worked so hard for me. Fortunately, I was well-informed and finally found you here."

The old man who looked thin next to him was so angry that his face turned pale and said furiously: "Gong Renquan, why are you so rude? Didn't you meet Lord Li first when you see me?"

He pursed his lips, and the middle-aged businessman laughed and said, "Boss Wan, I'm sorry for you today. Look, it's my brother that I met Lord Li first, right? You'd better hurry up tomorrow!"

"Rareless! Even if your elder brother comes, he dare not talk to me like this. You Jiangnan people are simply too uneducated!" The old man with thin monkey was so angry that he almost couldn't breathe.

"Then you always go and talk to my elder brother. He is waiting for you in Gusu Prefecture City. Go slow!" The middle-aged businessman ignored the attitude of the old man in the thin monkey and only cared about meeting Wufeng.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Wufeng had to suppress his temper and resolve the problem for them, "I'm talking to you, both of you are well-known people. This kind of quarrel on the street may damage your image. If there is anything, let's discuss it later?"

Seeing Wufeng speaking, the old man of thin monkey held back his anger and greeted Wufeng, "Mr. Li, congratulations. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor admires you very much. You rarely return to the imperial capital. I have already settled a seat in my leisure residence and wait for your visit. In the afternoon, let's go to the Pinhua Building to take a nap. In the evening, the Imperial National Grand Theater will have the first performance of the classic ballet "Romeo and Juliet" by the Royal Ballet of the Kingdom of Milan. I wonder if you are interested?"

He ignored the middle-aged businessman next to him in his words, obviously not taking him seriously.

A hint of anger flashed in the middle-aged businessman's eyes, but he forced himself to do not attack, but just stared at the old man who looked like a thin monkey. The old man who looked like a middle-aged businessman was still the same as me, and his appearance as if no one else made the middle-aged businessman even more angry.

Seeing this, Wufeng knew that if he didn't resolve it, he would probably have a scoundrel, and that would not be of any benefit to him. So he smiled and patted his shoulders to show his intimacy: "I say, both of you are businessmen, and they are friends of me, Li, why both of you? Today I thought of buying a few slaves here. Your Majesty gave me a house. I have no other family members in the imperial capital, so I had to buy a few slaves as servants. If you are interested, let's go for a walk together?"

The old man of Skinny Monkey is Wan Renming, the owner of Wanfeng Money House, one of the four major banks in the imperial capital. He was also the first giant in the imperial financial industry to enter the northwest to develop. He had a few years of friendship with Wufeng. The middle-aged businessman is the second boss of Jinling Money House, the second largest bank in Jiangnan, and is also an acquaintance of Wufeng. When Jinling Money House entered Jinzhou to develop, he led the team and was warmly welcomed by Wufeng. The Jinling Money House opened by him and his elder brother Gong Rending was headquartered in Gusu Prefecture, Jiangnan County. However, because the two were from Jinling Prefecture, Donghai County, they named their money house Jinling Money House.

Both companies are members of the Imperial Financial Guild, but they have been unable to be compatible since ancient times. In addition, the business community in the imperial capital and the business community in Jiangnan have always been neglected and are not harmonious. Today, when we encounter this, we naturally face each other and do not give in to each other.
