Most visitors like to walk up the mountain and enjoy the endless autumn scenery along the way.
Dunyuan covers an area of nearly 600 acres. Originally it only occupied half of the hilltop. However, a hundred years ago, the neighbor across the wall fell into decline and the homestead on the other side was also sold to the Golden Horn family. This is how Dunyuan today occupies a whole hill.
A small mountain with seven or eight scenic spots.
Along the way, He Lingchuan saw waterfalls and springs, pine streams and flowing clouds, and maple trees greeting the road. Such a large and ingenious garden must look natural and without craftsmanship, and the painstaking labor spent on it is...
Far more than an ordinary manor.
In comparison, the houses in the garden, large and small, which were built according to the scenery, are actually embellished.
He Lingchuan walked along the path, and the sand under his feet was filled with endless fallen leaves. This garden was tiring to walk, and there was countless space for squandering. It was also the largest manor He Lingchuan had seen since he entered the world.
Thinking about it this way, he has been moving around for more than a year and has never stayed in one place for more than two months.
Some people are unstable, while others are sitting on hundreds of millions.
Think about the land price here, every inch is precious, how much is such a big villa worth?
In the pavilions along the road, there are clever young men who greet guests and give them directions and answers. There are several tall buildings on the mountainside, all with more than three floors, separated from each other by sparse vegetation and trees, so that no one can be heard but no one is seen.
The waiter introduced that the sales fair was held simultaneously in these buildings, including Hanxiang Hall, Tantaiju, and Tianyu Tower at the top. Guests could freely shuttle among these venues.
Of course, at the Hanxiang Hall at the front, the owner still came out to greet us.
As soon as Fushan walked up the stairs, a man came forward to greet him, overflowing with enthusiasm: "Your Highness, long time no see!"
This man is wearing a brocade robe, he is over forty years old, his face is white and beardless, his eyebrows are slender but he is very energetic.
"Mr. Fang, are you alright? Where is the golden-horned cow?"
The man smiled and said: "General Jin has not returned to Lingxu City yet, but he has written three times asking for sales."
"This is He Xiao." Fu Shanyue turned around and introduced He Lingchuan, "He Xiao, this Manager Fang Canran is the first-class manager under General Jinjiao. He is responsible for all the properties including Dunyuan.
The person in charge of today’s sale.”
He Lingchuan and Fang Canran greeted each other, their eyes fell on his hand, and they were startled. Fang Canran said, "Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. Mr. He has become famous recently. He is really a formidable young man..."
..”
Seeing He Lingchuan staring blankly at the back of his hand, he couldn't help but ask again: "Master He?"
He Lingchuan came back to his senses immediately and said with a smile: "Thank you."
As soon as Fang Canran cupped his fists, He Lingchuan saw a red signet ring on his middle finger.
Signet rings are not a rare thing, but the shape, size, color, and pattern on this signet ring, He Lingchuan dared to say that he had only seen it a few days ago—
This is exactly the same as Shao Jian’s seal ring!
No, it should be said that it is probably the same one, because there is a conch pattern engraved on the signet ring, and the threads are exactly five circles.
Shao Jian also introduced him to the secrets: he was the first to create a chamber of commerce, and his signet ring was a five-striped snail, while the seal rings of other members of the chamber of commerce had at most two or three lines. How many founders can a chamber of commerce have?
After more than a hundred years of time and space, he actually saw this seal ring again.
So what is the relationship between Fang Canran, the chief steward of the Golden Horn General, and Shao Jian, the exile from the Yuan Kingdom?
Without waiting for him to think too much, Fang Canran handed everyone a jade hand sign: "To participate in the sale, just raise this sign. Come and watch the tea inside!"
Fu Shanyue shook his head: "I won't drink anymore. Please tell me first if the Zhongsun family or the Cen family is here?"
Fang Canran was startled: "The eldest son of the Zhongsun family is at Tianyu Tower, and the Cen family and Dasi Nong family have not arrived yet."
Cen Boqing had just been escorted back to the capital by Du Yunshi. The crime he had committed was so big that Da Sinong and the Cen family might not be in the mood to attend this sale.
Fu Shanyue chuckled: "Okay."
Someone from the Zhongsun family came, as if they were sure that the case of the elixir could not be found in his house. The two of them walked towards Hanxiang Hall.
Needless to say, the architectural interior of Dunyuan was a city that had been designed for six hundred years to be majestic and elegant, and its wealth and splendor were pure and simple. When He Lingchuan walked in, he felt that it had an extraordinary charm, but in terms of specific differences, he couldn't tell it anywhere.
It may be the ancient trees in the courtyard that have been dancing for thousands of years.
It may be the finely crafted tiles on the eaves, which jingle like music every time it rains.
It could also be the huge jade screen in the hall, on which the sun rises in the east and illuminates the golden tops of the mountains. This jade screen is one foot and a half high and six feet wide, spanning the entire hall, and is majestic.
There are animated pictures on the screen, with rolling white clouds and green mountain peaks. When you stand close, you feel the air-conditioning, as if clouds and mist are blowing in your face.
He Lingchuan knew at a glance that this was the craftsmanship of Songyang Mansion. The small moving screen of Songyang Mansion at Dunyu Branch, which was only half the size of a door panel, cost 200 taels of silver. For a giant screen like the one in front of him,
How much does it cost to make it custom made?
As we all know, the larger the screen size, the more difficult the process will be.
However, Songyang Mansion is equivalent to placing a large advertisement here. I wonder if Dunyuan will be given a discount when collecting payment.
Hanxiang Hall consists of three halls and two halls, several side rooms, and corridors, where the auction items are displayed. Of course, there are guards in front of the cabinets, telling you with their eyes not to move your hands.
Every hour, a sale is held in the main hall.
There were many guests in the hall, all of them celebrities from Lingxu City. He Lingchuan looked around and saw that 80% of the guests were occupied by humans, chatting and laughing, and surrounded by beauties.
Many guests gathered together, chatting, having a drink, and talking softly. Obviously this was also a rare social occasion.
Fu Shanyue grabbed him and introduced two groups of guests. Everyone was very interested in the Baisha Lian incident and the war in the east.
While Fu Shan was talking more and more boastfully, He Lingchuan quietly withdrew from the crowd and went to wander elsewhere.
When he passed the giant painting screen in Songyang Mansion again, someone from the side came over and whispered: "Congratulations to Mr. Xiao?"
He Lingchuan's expression remained unchanged: "Have you admitted your mistake?" But the man smiled and said: "The Lord has entrusted me."
He was actually sent by Li Qingge?
He Lingchuan said "Oh" and took the black iron ring handed over by the other party. This was a storage ring. He Lingchuan looked into it with his spiritual sense and found a booklet inside. The man turned around and pointed at the giant screen, as if introducing it to He Lingchuan.
In fact, he said: "My lordship also wants to ask you to do me a favor. The guests who are watching the weapons in the second west wing may also be your acquaintances. My lordship would like to ask you to change your identity and get acquainted with him again." He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "
Then what?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Is it time to start paying back the favors owed to Li Qingge?
"Then we'll talk again - these are the Lord's exact words." The man said, bowed to him with a smile, and returned to his original position.
He Lingchuan left the main hall, strolled to the corridor, stood in a deserted bamboo scene, and then took out the booklet from the black iron ring.
The handwriting on it is neatly written, recording the information of the Cen family and the Zhongsun family, including the names and ages of the family members, habits and temperaments, positions and livelihoods, as well as what the family has done recently, etc. It is quite detailed.
It is indeed the work of Master Songyang, who is as attentive as ever. It is time-consuming, laborious and incomplete to let He Lingchuan, an outsider, collect it by himself.
The Cen family didn't come, so He Lingchuan took the time to read it so that he could know it well.
"The eldest son of the Zhongsun family, Zhongsun Ce?" He looked through Zhongsun Ce's information carefully and found that this guy was hanging around in the upper circles of Lingxu City, but he had no merit.
From this point of view, Zhongsun Mugui is the most outstanding one among his peers? Well, he almost dug up the lifeblood of Zhongsun family at this time.
Fearing that Li Qingge's commission would get away, he put the book away without looking at it for too long and headed to the second west wing.
At this time, the divine bone necklace suddenly became hot. Hmm? What else is it fancying that’s delicious?
This is the site of a sales fair, with a dazzling array of treasures. For the divine bone necklace, isn’t it just a self-selected supermarket?
He Lingchuan was not in a hurry. He wandered around the venue with his hands behind his back, pointing at the exhibits and asking questions. In fact, he was feeling the changes in the divine bone necklace to determine which one he wanted.
Soon, he stopped near the balcony. There was a row of display cabinets, and each display cabinet
There were four or five things inside, and the sign on the display read: Unknown Strange Objects.
After walking here, the sacred bone necklace no longer feels hot. "What are these?"
The boy next to him immediately came over and introduced: "These are rare objects whose use has not yet been identified. The starting price is determined by the seller, but it is generally not high. Many VIPs like to come here to hunt for treasures, and sometimes they can find gold in the sand.
You can find good stuff."
"I see." To put it bluntly, it means opening a blind box. Indeed, many people have this addiction.
Beside the display cabinet, there were only two people taking advantage of it, but there were a lot of people watching. "Can you take it out and take a look?"
"Yes, I'll get it for you. Which one do you want to see?" It's an unknown item in the first place, and there's no product description attached. If you don't let people try it out, will they buy it?
"Look at this." He Lingchuan pointed at something that looked like a discus. To be cautious, he did not approach the cabinet where the divine bone necklace was located at the beginning.
The boy handed it to his hand, and He Lingchuan weighed it. He drank. The weight was like a discus, and it was heavy when he touched it. The material felt like cold iron, because it was much colder than ordinary metal.
He felt that this thing really looked like a curling stone, but it was missing the handle.
After picking it up, the discus moved closer to the sacred bone necklace, but the latter did not react at all.
Probably not this thing.
As soon as He Lingchuan started working here, there were customers watching around him. Someone asked him: "What can you tell?"
He Lingchuan shook his head. The discus seemed to have been broken off from some instrument, but when he tested it with his true strength, there was no reaction.
Having said that, if it could be easily identified, it would not be lying in the cabinet of "unknown rare objects". The boy smiled and said: "Actually, several rare objects were photographed in the Dunyuan display cabinet, and they were finally identified as treasures.
.One piece is even a treasure left by an immortal. The buyer has a keen eye for treasures and bought it for less than 1% of the price. It is a very good deal."
Someone next to me answered: "Then more people spend money to buy useless things and go home. Why don't you say anything?"
