Chapter 111: Royal Mansion
When he arrived at Funing Palace, he said to Princess Yongning. Yang Ning called Xiang Zhong, changed his clothes, and headed straight to Jingmaoer Hutong outside Donghua Gate. There was the place where Yang Ning was given a house.
This house is indeed not far from the Imperial City. When we arrived at the place, Yang Ning realized that the house was not far from the north of Qipan Street. Go east and turn south. It is the bustling crossroads in front of Tianranju. The location of this house is really a place where every inch of land is valuable.
He sent the eunuch in charge of the handover of the house by the internal supervisor yamen. Yang Ning carefully looked at the door of the house.
The gate is built with a high courtyard and is very grand. The vermilion door has been painted freshly. The wide-eyed stone lions on both sides of the door have also been polished brightly. A gold-burned plaque is hung high on the lintel. Two magnificent characters "Yang Mansion" are written on it. Look carefully, there are two small characters "Yu Ci" written on the lower right corner.
Seeing Yang Ning looking at the plaque, Xiang Zhong explained: "This plaque was written by Lord Zhang of the Cabinet. The renovation and cleaning inside and outside the house were also supervised by Lord Zhang for the Ministry of Works."
Yang Ning couldn't help but feel a little moved. Although he had only met Zhang Juzheng twice, he was very caring about himself. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely repay him well.
Yang Ning looked around and found that there were only two houses in this alley. One was his house and the gate of the other was opposite to him. It was also a high-gate mansion. I don’t know what kind of house it was. However, if you have such a large house here, you must be a person who is either rich or noble.
After entering the house, I walked around. The house was arranged in three fronts and backs, and two insides and outsides. There was also a garden of several acres in the back house. The rockery ponds, trees, flowers and plants, pavilions and terraces were arranged very differently. The pavilions, corridors and halls in the house were also beautiful. The sparse and dense, and they were arranged in an orderly manner. In this prosperous place of the capital, there is such a wild and peaceful place. It is really rare.
"This, this house is a little too exaggerated." Yang Ning became more and more surprised when he looked at it. He could have such a house. What kind of person would it be?
Xiang Zhong said: "I heard from Lord Zhang that this house was a treacherous minister from the previous dynasty. What is Yan's name? Yan's what comes..."
Yang Ning's heart moved and blurted out: "Yan Song."
"Yes, yes, yes, that's Yan Song. It is said that this person is still a Grand Secretary."
"Hey. This person is more than just a 'Grandmaster'. This person was a very remarkable person in the previous dynasty. He had a lot of official titles and titles on his body. He had overwhelmed the government with more than 20 years. He had stolen power and was dissident, eliminated dissidents, embezzled and accepted bribes, and made the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty chaotic. His son Yan Shifan was even more a second-generation master who did everything he wanted."
After talking about Yan Song, Yang Ning couldn't help but sigh again: "I didn't expect that this house was actually the treacherous minister. Look at the scenery in front of him. No matter how powerful he is, he is now no longer there. He is fighting for power and profit, and he has tried his best to end up in vain. Why bother?"
Yang Ning's sigh did not arouse Xiang Zhong's resonance. He just said angrily: "So it seems that this house looks good, but the feng shui is extremely bad. The emperor actually gave you such a house. It's really fucking unlucky."
Yang Ning smiled and said, "Whether Feng Shui is good or not? It depends on who lives."
