The next day, Gu Xun moved into his new home smoothly as scheduled.
He had carefully calculated it before and found that this Imperial Prefect's Mansion has a total of 1,688 rooms of various types, with five courtyards in front and back. Two of the courtyards each have a smaller two-entry east-west courtyard, with two courtyards on both sides.
The east-west courtyard itself has three entrances, which is equivalent to nineteen courtyards in total.
He counted them from room to room, and he almost fainted.
And this time they move, there are only nine of them...including little Ayan, and the medical center is still useful. Things are not moved, and there is no need to move them. Everything in the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion is complete.<
/p>
When the nine people walked into the mansion, it was like throwing a pebble in front of the square in front of the Xianyang Palace. They instantly blended into the larger environment and disappeared.
Gu Xun had no intention of making a big deal about the housewarming, so the family moved quietly.
Many dignitaries in Xianyang were disappointed with this.
They all knew that Gu Xun was about to move into a new mansion, and they were all waiting to take this opportunity to give a gift and establish a relationship with Gu Xun. In the end, Gu Xun did nothing, and they didn't dare to force it - if it had been anyone else,
They don't care about being tough-tempered and don't hit the smiling person. I won't offend anyone by giving gifts, but Gu Xun... doesn't have a good reputation, so they don't dare to do anything wrong.
In fact, Gu Xun originally wanted to go through some trouble. After all, he could receive gifts. With the civil and military officials of the dynasty and various factions in the world, he might be able to collect as much as eight thousand gold.
However, after Mo Ya gave him a rough overview of what preparations needed to be made, he decisively gave up. If he had this spare time, he might as well just go grab it.
Of course, he has another option, just let it out that he wants to receive gifts, and there is no need to do anything. A large number of people will come to give gifts, and there is no need to arrange or prepare. He can just sit and wait for the money. But he
I don’t want to do this. Moving is a happy event after all. There is no need to spoil a good happy event just for some money.
So in the end, the move to a new house was completed quietly.
Even so, the Meng family and Li Si, who were close to Gu Xun, also sent people to send gifts. Xiong Qi and Yan Dan, who had their own hidden agendas, also sent gifts. They were all given quietly without any fanfare.<
/p>
The house allocation was very simple. Gu Xun and Jing Shao occupied the main room in the middle courtyard. Yan Lingji and Mingzhu each occupied an east-west courtyard next to the middle courtyard. Mo Ya, Bai Feng and Ying Ge ran to the backyard to search for each other.
There was a room in the house, and Xuanjian lived in the reverse room in the front yard and was responsible for guarding the door.
Originally, Mo Ya and Bai Feng were going to take over this job. After all, the yard was big and it would be easier for them to know who was coming. They passed it to Gu Xun, but Xuan Jian took the initiative to take over the job. Considering that the other party was stronger, Gu Xun
There was no objection, and the two of them followed Yingge to the backyard.
Overall, even if Xuanjian is counted as occupying one courtyard, it only uses five courtyards, and a lot of space is still idle.
In the end, Gu Xun did not hire any servants. Each residence was tidied up and cleaned separately, and unoccupied areas were regularly cleaned by someone.
Although it is very unruly and can even be said to be outrageous, if a guest comes, they have to walk through two courtyards and walk half a mile to find Gu Xun, and this must be based on the premise that Xuan Jian has not done anything to the guest.
.
But Gu Xun doesn't care about this, whether he comes here or not, if you think he is rude to the Imperial Master's Office, then don't come, and he doesn't want too many people to disturb him.
Everything was packed up without much effort. Gu Xun was planning to invite the whole family to a restaurant to celebrate, but a guest came...
"How come Zhao Fu Ling has time to visit?" Gu Xun looked at the visitor and asked playfully.
The person who came, that is, Zhao Gao, put his hands in front of his body and replied with a gentle smile on his face:
"On behalf of His Majesty, we are here to congratulate the Imperial Master on his new move."
Not reaching out to hit the smiling man, Gu Xun could only raise his hand and say thanks after hearing this, "Then please ask Zhao Fuling to convey my gratitude to His Majesty for me."
"Easy to say, easy to say." Zhao Gao nodded, then turned around with a smile and looked around the deserted courtyard, "The courtyard of the Imperial Master is very deserted."
"Oh, there are only nine people in my family. This mansion has more than a hundred rooms, so it's strange that it's not deserted." Gu Xun curled his lips and responded nonchalantly.
Zhao Gao raised his hand and said, "Just in time, His Majesty thought that you, Imperial Master, may not have enough servants, so he specially asked our family to select dozens of slaves trained in the palace and send them to you. In this way, the chores in the house will be eliminated.
Someone did it, which added a bit of anger."
"That's it..." Gu Xun was not happy and pondered for a while.
He didn't need to think about it to know that there was a problem with this group of people. Even if Ying Zheng didn't do anything, could Zhao Gao let go of this opportunity?
Moreover, Ying Zheng will most likely have some arrangements.
According to the general process, Gu Xun should accept these people. He has nothing to hide and conceal, and a few secrets will have no impact on him. This can also appease Ying Zheng's mind.
But...
Gu Xun shook his head, "Zhao Fu ordered me to go back and thank His Majesty for your kindness, but I don't want the person."
Gu Xun chose to refuse.
He doesn't hire servants because he doesn't like a group of strangers living in his home - in theory, servants are domestic slaves and belong to him, but Gu Xun has no interest in remembering so many servants, and he can't even remember them.
, how can we count ourselves as one of our own?
The benefit to him from accepting the group of people sent by Ying Zheng is not enough for him to change this principle.
Zhao Gao was a little surprised at first, but he didn't expect Gu Xun to reject it so simply, "You don't want even a national teacher?"
"No." Gu Xun shook his head, "I don't like too many people at home."
"This..." Zhao Gao choked.
What kind of reason is this? You don’t like crowds of people? Your current mansion is like a haunted house. How about you not see a single person for half a mile?
Besides, are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? You don’t know why I sent this person to your house?
Zhao Gao couldn't help but look troubled when he saw that Gu Xun had such a reason on his face. He could only try to persuade him, "This is His Majesty's good intention. The Imperial Master... can you keep a few of them?" p>
"I'll keep you if you want. I really don't like it." Gu Xun still refused sternly, "I also ask Zhao Fuling to convey my apology to His Majesty on my behalf."
"Hehe...hehe..." Seeing that he looked like there was no room for negotiation, Zhao Gao could only give up and responded with a stiff smile.
He has been an internal official for several years. Even when Ying Zheng had not really taken power, all the officials in the court, including Wenxin Hou Lu Buwei, had to go and accuse Ying Zheng in person if they refused Ying Zheng's rewards or suggestions. Gu Xun
That's good, I'll pass it on...
Gu Xun doesn't care what Zhao Gao thinks, or what Ying Zheng thinks if he is rejected, it's all their business and has nothing to do with him, it's enough for him to take care of himself.
"Ling Zhao, if you have nothing else to do, please come back. I have something else to do." Gu Xun didn't invite anyone into the house, and didn't even give him a sip of water. As soon as he finished sending people off, he started immediately.
