Chapter 213 Huang Siye(1/2)

The old man next to him is very injured now.

The silver that was almost obtained was just light and flew away like a naughty bee.

Manager Huang stood aside with anticipation, waiting for the response from Zhu Zhanji and others.

After looking at the decent Manager Huang, Zhu Zhanji finally nodded: "In this way, I will bother your mansion."

Manager Huang, who had been waiting for a long time, showed a bright smile: "Please invite me, a few young men, please go to the city to do business as soon as possible. I guess I should come back in a while."

Zhu Zhanji said curiously: "As soon as he arrived in Guizhen, he heard that the people admired the master of the government. When the master of the government comes back, we must go to pay our respects in person."

Manager Huang nodded: "The master has always respected scholars. When the young masters saw it, they were all well-read people. When my master returned home and found out, he must be ecstatic."

The so-called Mr. Huang probably really likes scholars, and even a small manager in his family can express his integrity.

The two chatted for a few words, and under the guidance of Manager Huang, they walked towards the Huang Mansion, which occupied half of the town.

On the side, Yu Qian looked at the old man who was unwilling to accept his wish, smiled slightly, reached out to take out a silver from his sleeve.

The silver is about three or five taels.

After Yu Qian weighed it, he patted it on the old man's hand.

When the old man saw that he had done nothing, he could get the silver. He was happy on his face, then frowned and stuffed the silver back into Yu Qian's hand.

"I just took a few steps, but I did nothing. Young Master, don't do this."

Yu Qian shook his head, then slapped the silver in the old man's hand, and said solemnly: "It turned out that I promised my father-in-law. If my father-in-law doesn't accept it, I will feel uneasy."

After saying that, Yu Qian held the old man's hand holding Yinzi and patted him a few times.

Finally, the money was given, and Yu Qian stopped stopping and caught up with Zhu Zhanji and others who had already walked out.

A few moments.

Everyone arrived in front of the Huang Mansion led by Manager Huang.

Logically speaking, Huangfu should be the one in this town that has the most original means of production. Not to mention the tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, but at least it can be considered as a rank of old wealth.

Often, landlords and wealthy will use their own construction to show the fact that they are rich.

Even if this will attract the covetousness of some bad intentions, these landlords and wealthy will still enjoy it.

Even hundreds of years later, such behavioral habits still exist...

However, standing in front of the Huang Mansion, Zhu Zhanji saw a simplicity.

The small mansion gate looks particularly inappropriate under the tall courtyard wall.

Even Zhu Zhanji saw that the bottom of the mansion had begun to decay, and the paint surface of the entire mansion had begun to show signs of peeling off.

Very frugal!

Perhaps seeing the changes in Zhu Zhanji, Manager Huang, who was standing sideways and invited everyone to the mansion, said implicitly: "The coastal areas are either Japanese pirates, or storms. Although the harvest is good, it is not like this. The master always has to take out the money and food from the mansion to help the people around him."

To sum up, even if the landlord’s family has no surplus grain.

Everyone was no longer confused and followed Manager Huang to the mansion.

The Huang Mansion occupies a large area and is full of Jiangnan's construction methods. However, the materials are not exquisite and luxurious, but they are really the same as the inside.

Not long after, Zhu Zhanji and others were taken to a side courtyard.

The yard is not big, but it is a rare unique experience in the Huang Mansion.

A living canal passes through the wall, and there are many precious trees and flowers planted around it, piled up with strange rockery rocks, which is rare to be exquisite.

There are not many pieces in the house, and there are three row houses in total.

Standing in the yard, Manager Huang explained enthusiastically: "This yard was built by the master separately, so that there are friends and scholars who come here to have a comfortable place to rest."

As he said that, Manager Huang glanced at Zhu Zhanji and the other two.

Manager Huang, who has been working as a member of the welcoming and sending off, can tell at a glance the difference between the seven people's primary and secondary.

The two young men in the lead were obviously talking about this group of people. The four behind were probably their own servants' guards.

As for the 'Young Master' who had been wearing a hat from the beginning...

Manager Huang smiled slightly in his heart. The young scholars are always indispensable for studying abroad.

Looking at the position of this young lady, it was obvious that she was a pair of the handsome young lady in front of her.

Manager Huang looked at Zhu Zhanji: "Young Master, my master will be able to return to the mansion in the afternoon. You can rest for a while. The mansion will send lunch for you to enjoy. There are also many ancient books and lonely books in each house. You can read them by yourself."

The etiquette of hospitality is really nothing to say.

Zhu Zhanji nodded with a smile and responded one by one.

Manager Huang still smiled politely rather than politely, signaled Zhu Zhanji slightly, and before leaving, he glanced at Cen Ke, who was still wearing a hat, and then slowly left.

After Manager Huang left, Zhu Zhanji and others truly relaxed.

Yu Qian glanced at the flowers, plants and trees in the yard, rockery and flowing water, and smiled faintly: "That Mr. Huang is really frugal..."

Songjiang Prefecture is right next to Suzhou Prefecture, which is rich in Taihu stones and has always been one of the important materials for Jiangnan garden construction.

Any family with a little family income will place Taihu Stone in the mansion.

But obviously, the one used in Huangfu is not Taihu stone here, but ordinary mountain stones.

Zhu Zhanji shook his head: "Do you believe that there are good people in this world?"

Are there any good people in this world?

Yu Qian was stopped by this question for a moment.

Zhu Zhanji didn't explain, laughed and walked into the main house with the people.

In the room, as Manager Huang said, there were many ancient books and lonely books on several books.

The furniture placed in the house is also quite exquisite. You can see at a glance that it is often kept and taken care of. All the furniture surfaces are glowing with a faint and beautiful luster.

Everyone sat around.

Cen Ke, who had been wearing a hat, finally carefully took off the hat that he had worn on his head for a whole day, revealing the face that was obviously a man but was particularly charming.

She smiled tenderly at Zhu Zhanji, then signaled to everyone, and then went aside to make tea for everyone.

Zhu Xiu was the first to speak: "The Huang Mansion is very perfect!"

Perfect, not simple and simple.

Zhu Zhanji and Yu Qian turned their gaze to Zhu Xiu, hoping that each other would make up for their discoveries.

And an Jinyiwei who was standing beside him took the conversation.

"Reporting to Taisun, Zhu Guard means that all the constructions of the Huang Mansion are to defend against foreign attacks!"

Zhu Zhanji became more and more curious and hesitated: "Is that true?"

He was just thinking about whether this so-called Mr. Huang was a real good person.

Is there an old rich man in the territory of the Ming Dynasty who would take out his own property to help those suffering people? Or would such an old rich man use his wealth to motivate the people of the entire town to build fortifications surrounding the entire town?

The answer was involuntarily in Zhu Zhanji's heart.

impossible!

Therefore, he missed to observe the construction of Huang Mansion, what exactly was like.

Zhu Xiuze has already spoken: "High-walled house gates can prevent a large number of enemies from entering. The narrow and long aisles of the mansion gates and solid screen walls will block the enemy's attack speed. The large number of houses in the mansion are built in a very compact manner. The formation is used to distribute the situation, which is to divide the attacking enemies into small forces."

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment. He thought that he had been walking here from outside the Huang Mansion Gate just now. The aisles in the Huang Mansion were indeed too narrow.

Sun An added: "If you guessed correctly, there must be an authentic tunnel under the main house of the main house, which is along with it outside the town!"

Before Zhu Zhanji could speak, a Jinyiwei said: "I had observed outside the town before. Huangfu was located at the farthest place from the official road, which was the edge of the town. Huangfu was only one mile away, and it was a piece of hilly woodland, which was a good place to build an authentic exit."

Hilly woodland.

The terrain is uneven and there are many trees. As an authentic exit, it is the best secret place.

"So..." Zhu Zhanji hesitated a little.

Yu Qian said firmly: "This Mr. Huang is a person who is prepared for danger in times of peace!"

Zhu Zhanji was stunned, rolled his eyes and looked at Yu Qian, looking at Yu Qian like an idiot.

The eyes of the grandson made Yu Qian feel particularly uncomfortable. He shrank his head and whispered: "Isn't it?"

Zhu Xiu smiled from the side: "Young Master Yu, will your family build defenses like this because of the Japanese pirates? Even the mansion is going to be like this?"

Sun An added on the side: "I think the Huang Mansion is built so simply, it must be to prevent the family wealth from being robbed by Japanese pirates or enemies who may be attacked!"

Yu Qian blinked and didn't react for a moment: "Isn't this a danger in times of peace?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and left his mind with the plan to leave tomorrow: "It's okay to be prepared for danger in times of peace, but if it goes too far, it means that something abnormal will happen!"

The Jinyiwei present immediately spoke: "Young Master, do you want your subordinates to lurk out and find out clearly?"

At this time, Cen Ke, who had just brewed tea for everyone, came over.

He bent down and placed the teacups in front of everyone.
