The East District of Hangzhou is a place where rich people live together. All kinds of mansions are tall and majestic, and there are many houses. They are all carefully decorated with high red lanterns and give off an aura of wealth.
Wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen live here, and some officials who have retired and returned to their hometowns are also recuperating in their later years.
In addition to the lavish mansions and mansions, there are also straight and vigorous green pines lining both sides of the streets.
The people of Chu were superstitious about green pine trees, believing that green pine trees could make their homes prosperous and their descendants prosper. The founding Marquis of Chu even called himself "Green Pine Old Man" and he was very happy.
The most extensive and magnificent mansion in the Eastern District belongs to the "Lu Mansion".
The Lu family is the richest man in Hangzhou, and the mansion also shows this style. Surrounded by green pines, the front door of the Lu mansion is extremely elegant. In addition to two circles of flower beds, there are also two stone cranes standing on one foot and singing to the sky.
.
Xue Poye and Wu Lachi rode tall horses to the front of the house. The servants guarding the door immediately came forward and saw that they were sitting on tall horses. They were obviously people of great status. Although the servants of Lu Mansion
They were all arrogant, but they didn't dare to offend, and their voices turned out to be somewhat respectful: "Who are you two looking for?"
"Is your second young master at home?" Xue Poye asked, touching his nose.
The servant glanced at Xue Poye, squinted his eyes and said, "Are you looking for my second young master? Which house does the young master belong to?"
Although Xue Poye's clothes are not luxurious, the golden lion under his seat is a rare BMW. Since the Lu family is the richest man in Hangzhou, the servants in the house also have some discernment. When they see such a valuable BMW, the servants still treat it as
Xue Poye is a child of a wealthy family.
Xue Poye did not explain, but said calmly: "I am looking for your second young master, please go and report it."
The servant shook his head and said: "Young Master, my second young master has not returned home for several days. My second grandma is sending people to look around, but I don't know where he has gone!"
Xue Poye said "Oh" and thought to himself: "Is that coward so frightened that he hid and hasn't returned home yet?"
Wu Lachi approached and said, "Good friend, are we still going in?"
"Brother Wu, since we are here, we can't make this trip in vain!"
Just say that someone came to visit you!"
The servant hesitated and said: "Master, can you tell me your name so that I can inform you!"
Xue Poye sneered and said, "Tell your second grandma that debt collectors are here!"
Seeing the fierce look on Wu Lachi's face, the servants did not dare to ask any more questions and hurried back to the house to report.
…
…
The servant did not keep Xue Poye waiting for too long. He came out quickly and said with hostility: "Our second grandma invites you!"
Xue Poye also said that Mrs. Fang would refuse to enter the house, but he didn't expect that she would let him in. He turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to the servant, and ordered: "Take the two horses and feed them well. If there is a hair missing, I will definitely
I can’t spare you!”
Seeing the arrogant Xue Poye and the ferocious Ulachi, the servant hurriedly handed the horses to another servant and took them down to feed them well. He led the way and took the two of them to see Mrs. Fang.
When you step into Lu Mansion, the first thing you see is a pond full of lotus flowers. The pond is surrounded by carved railings and jade paved roads. The road paved with marble is divided into two parts to the edge of the pond, forming a very harmonious circle. When you reach the other side of the pond,
One end merges into two again.
When I walked to the edge of the pond, the fragrance of lotus came to my nostrils. In the clear water, there were actually a few red carp swimming around.
After walking along the marble road for a while, a rockery suddenly stood up, with lush flowers on both sides. Two little girls were carrying water bottles to water the flowers. The pavilions and pavilions in front were quiet and leisurely, and several rows of simple houses stood tall and tall.
Under the green trees, surrounded by red flowers, green trees, rockery and small ponds, it is endless as far as the eye can see. It is so beautiful that it feels like you have entered a garden.
Wu Lachi was born in the grassland, and he had never seen such beautiful scenery. He was dazzled by it and admired it again and again.
Xue Poye has visited many gardens, and the layouts are all exquisite, but the layout in the Lu Mansion is even more exquisite. Every stone, water, flower and tree is just right. It seems that any more or less will affect this exquisite pattern.
, only adds to the failure.
As the servant passed through several circular arches, the walls seemed to be made of white marble, which was really luxurious. Along the way, the scenery was beautiful, and occasionally butterflies were seen flying over the delicate flowers and green grass.
Xue Poye admired the designers of the Lu Mansion very much. Such a masterpiece was definitely the work of a master.
The Lu family's wealth is indeed well-deserved.
Not far ahead, there is a very imposing house. In front of the house is a majestic rockery, and there are several large and colorful birds resting on the mountain.
Those big birds actually had no fear of people and were not afraid. When Xue Poye and others passed by, they still preened their feathers leisurely and did not even look at the others.
Still ten meters away from the house, the servant stopped, pointed to the door with his hand, and said coldly: "Second Grandma is inside, please go by yourselves!" Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
The two looked at each other, laughed, and walked toward the house together.
Before they even got close, they heard a faint cry coming from inside. It turned out to be a man's cry. Amid the cry, the two of them faintly heard some strange words.
"They... they ambushed hundreds of people... they are all untouchables in Fanjia Village... and they scolded the second grandma... the second grandma is unreasonable...!"
When Xue Poye heard that voice, he found it extremely familiar. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly understood and smiled at Wu Lachi: "The housekeeper of the Lu family is complaining!"
Wu Lachi pulled out his scimitar and said coldly: "I'll kill him!"
Xue Poye hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother Wu, don't be rash. We are here to collect debts, not to kill people!"
Wu Lachi thought for a moment, put away the knife, and said: "If he is dishonest, I will cut off his head with one knife."
The Beihu people were indeed fierce. Xue Poye sighed secretly. He was lucky to be able to match the fierce temperament of the Beihu people.
A cold voice came from the room: "Did they strike first?" The voice was cold and full of hostility, but the voice itself was somewhat soft. When Xue Poye heard it, he immediately identified it as Mrs. Fang.
Mrs. Fang's voice seemed to be inherently cold. When I saw her in Qinghefang, she was arrogant, domineering, and extremely cold.
Butler Lu hurriedly said: "Yes, after we went over, we talked softly and just wanted to have a good talk and buy Na Lanyue
They, a savage Beihu man under his command started beating people!"
Wu Lachi listened and looked angry. Xue Poye patted his arm gently to signal him to calm down.
The two of them approached the house slowly and listened more carefully. Mrs. Fang's delicate voice said coldly: "How much money did you offer? Is it the two thousand taels I said?"
Butler Lu hurriedly said: "Yes, I mean two thousand taels!"
Xue Poye showed a faint smile. Butler Lu went to Lan Yuexuan and offered a price of one thousand five hundred taels. He obviously had corruption intentions.
Xue Poye didn't want to listen any more, so Butler Lu added more fuel and vinegar to his talk. It would be of no benefit to him to continue talking, so he coughed twice.
He coughed deliberately and in a very loud voice. As expected, Mrs. Fang's voice came from inside the house: "Who? Who is outside?"
Xue Poye said loudly: "Xue Poye, the shopkeeper of Lan Yuexuan, came to collect debts and disturbed my wife!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Butler Lu screamed and lost his voice: "Is it... is it you?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, the door opened with a creak, and Butler Lu showed his face. When he saw the two people, he was extremely resentful and shouted
Said: "Someone come quickly and tie these two guys up for me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that many people suddenly appeared in the originally peaceful surroundings, and they all quickly gathered around.
Suddenly I heard Mrs. Fang say coldly: "Lu Fu, let them go down, and it will be your turn to order the people to be tied up?"
Butler Lu Lu Fu had a look of resentment. Mrs. Fang said this and waved helplessly to everyone. Those people immediately retreated and disappeared in the blink of an eye——
Because the structure of this book is huge and full of endless struggles, and a corner of the struggle unfolds in Hangzhou, I will try my best to bury the political foreshadowing here, and also package the protagonist so that he can face many conflicts and dangers later.
There is a murderous intention buried in the tranquility. I hope everyone will read it carefully. Of course, there is a subtle layout that everyone is looking forward to. I don’t belittle myself, haha! dd
