Naturally, Mu Jieyu didn't know that her arrival had already set off a gust of wind in the Mu family, and this gust of wind was the beginning of the fall of the Fuguo Palace.
At this moment, she was standing in front of her future home. Looking at the entire courtyard of Kowloon City in the sun, and the plaque of Jiayuan hanging above the vermilion gate, she felt a sense of satisfaction in her heart.
This Kowloon City is where Yongjing dignitaries lived. However, it was in ruins ten years ago because it was the place where the Yong'an Incident took place. In the third year of Hong'an, Emperor Hong'an encircled the land for his clan members in the capital.
, this piece of land was sold to fill the empty treasury. Mu Zhong, who was quite business-minded at the time, spent half of his family property and bought the maximum amount of land permitted by the court. Originally, Mu Zhong planned to spend money to build roads and pavements.
, developed into a commercial street, and then turned into building mansions under Mu Jieyu's secret encouragement, because most of the entire Yongjing was destroyed when the army entered the city, so that most of the nobles lived in the former buildings.
The official residences of the old ministers of the dynasty naturally have different cultures that affect people's aesthetics. For the nobles of Yanjing who once roamed the grasslands, they naturally did not like the sour and Confucian standards of the former dynasty's important ministers. Moreover, although the houses inhabited there gave a sense of conquest,
But there is also a kind of humiliation of picking up rags.
Mu Jieyu used childlike words to inspire Mu Zhong's business talent, which made Mu Zhong suddenly enlightened. He spent a lot of effort to build mansions in this ruins that combined the elegance of Jiangnan and the boldness of Yanbei. Naturally, it was
Earned a lot of money.
But the construction of the courtyard in front of me started only three years ago and was completed a year ago. From the design to the materials, they were all made by Mu Jieyu. Instead of using traditional wood and mud bricks as the base material, they used raw materials.
The stones from the mountains were carefully polished and solidified with exclusive cement. Among the Jiangnan houses with small bridges and flowing water, small three-story Western-style buildings were built, a true combination of Chinese and Western styles.
Three such courtyards were completed at the same time. One of them covers an area of about 6,000 square meters and is extremely majestic. This one was built by Muzhong in filial piety to Emperor Hong'an and became his annexe, called Dexin Garden. Of course Emperor Hong'an
He accepted it, but also asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to give it to Mu Zhong at a higher price than other nobles paid for the house.
The other two buildings both cover an area of 3,000 square meters, and the construction inside is similar. One is the shogunate that was awarded the plaque "Jiayuan" by Emperor Hong'an, and the other Japanese garden is still idle. For more than a year,
Many people have paid attention to this courtyard. Who doesn't want to be a neighbor to the emperor?
Moreover, these three sets of courtyards are separated from other mansions by a Jade River. The river is not wide, and there is a gorgeous six-hole stone bridge in the middle. It only takes a stick of incense to walk. But these three sets of mansions are cleverly isolated. Now and
Mu Jieyu thought she had found the owner of the garden.
Mu Jieyu entered the house and had just washed up. Before he could go to his boudoir, Uncle Lu, the housekeeper of Jiayuan, came in a hurry: "Miss, someone wants to see you."
Mu Jieyu's eyebrows twitched. Uncle Lu is an old man of the Lu family. He is smooth and sophisticated. If it is someone he can deal with, he will definitely try his best to deal with it. Now he is looking at Mu Jieyu with an anxious look on his face.
It means he met a difficult person.
She thought that people who wanted to buy these two houses were rejected because they did not know the owner's house. Now that she had just entered the house, someone came to the door. It seemed that they were keeping an eye on her.
She has already thought of countermeasures for these people.
