The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 486 Xuan Jiu
Three carriages stopped at the gate of Zhu's mansion.

After getting off the car, Yan Sanhe glanced around and found that two people were missing.

"Xie Shishi took Zhu Qing to the Yamen. For more than two months, everything in the Yamen was in chaos."

Little Mr. Pei walked up to Yan Sanhe and said, "He will come right after he leaves the office, so you don't have to worry about it."

Who cares?
Yan Sanhe looked at Pei and smiled: "Is there no chaos in your yamen?"

Little Master Pei gave Yan Sanhe a reassuring look, "My Senglu Department is in good order, it's fine!"

Yan Sanhe said no more, turned around, looked up at the dark red door plaque of Zhu Mansion, and then climbed up the stairs.

Waiting at the door was a white-haired old man.

He is about sixty years old. He is well maintained and well-dressed. He should be a person with some power in the Zhu family.

Boss Zhu introduced: "This is Zhu Jing, the boss of our mansion."

Zhu Jing saluted Yan Sanhe, "Everyone has gathered, waiting for you, Miss Yan."

"Not urgent."

Yan Sanhe crossed the threshold with one foot and said, "Take me to Master Zhu's yard and study first."

"Yes!"

All the way in, the old manager led the way and introduced;
Yan Sanhe listened and watched.

She has seen many big houses, rich ones like the Ji family, expensive ones like the Xie family, and the rich and expensive one is Yan Ruxian's house.

This mansion of the Zhu family...

She couldn't tell.

It doesn't look rich or expensive, but every scene is very clever.

Ordinary people also have rockeries and flowing water, but they all look the same and cannot attract Yan Sanhe's attention.

But the rockery in Zhu Mansion reflects a few green bamboos, and the flowing water is accompanied by a few rocks. There are bamboos in the mountains, water in the bamboos, and stones in the water...

What a coincidence.

"Who designed this house?"

"Back to Miss Yan, this house is the ancestral home of the Zhu family. It was renovated once after the master took over. Many of the scenery was designed by the master himself."

Yan Sanhe frowned: "So, your master is also very knowledgeable in Feng Shui?"

Zhu Jing was mature after all. He did not answer hastily. Instead, he turned to look at the old man beside him. When he saw the old man nodded, he smiled and said:

"My master is not only knowledgeable about the Five Elements and Bagua, but also knows everything about astronomy and geography."

"Such a person should be very smart."

"Young lady, you don't know something. The Zhu family chooses the head of the family, regardless of the eldest son or elder, and the one who is capable will be in charge. My master can be in charge of the Zhu family, so he is naturally smart."

Yan Sanhe immediately heard something, "Where does Mr. Zhu rank in the clan and how many brothers does he have?"

"My old man has five sons and two daughters."

Zhu Jing: "The master ranks fourth and is the only son of a concubine."

The bastard ascends to the throne?

It seems that Mr. Zhu is indeed very smart.

Yan Sanhe asked again: "How old was Mr. Zhu when he took over the mantle from Mr. Zhu?"

"The rules of the Zhu family are inherited by the son after the father dies."

Zhu Jing counted with his fingers, "It has been 19 years since the old man died. Ninety-nine years ago, he was forty years old. He took charge of Qintian Prison when he was 30 years old."

nineteen?

Nine out of forty?

Yan Sanhe also turned his head and glanced at Mr. Zhu: "Uncle, for those of you who know the Five Elements and Bagua, is the number nine good or bad?"

"It can be good or bad."

Although Boss Zhu didn't understand why she asked this question, he still explained it patiently.

"Nine is the largest number among all numbers. It is called the ultimate Yang number, and it is also a symbol of authority. Therefore, the emperor is also called the Nine-Five Lord."

Yan Sanhe's mind was spinning very fast: "So that means most people can't suppress this number?"

"The girl is so smart."

Boss Zhu: "Except for the emperor, especially for men, this number means bad luck. Men have nine difficult levels. As the saying goes, ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, ninety-nine and ninety-nine return to one, are all proving this truth. My father's level is not the same." Break through.”

Yan Sanhe: "So for women, this number is auspicious?"

Mr. Zhu nodded: "Nine is the ultimate yang number, and women are yin. If used well, yin and yang will be harmonized, which is good luck." "Little Master Pei."

Yan Sanhe: "Did you hear that? Be careful every time you meet again in the future."

Little Mr. Pei's eyes lit up, and he habitually rubbed his arms against the people next to him: Did you see that while the goddess transformed thoughts and demons, she could also seek benefits for her own people?

Do not touch me.

Li Buyan hurriedly hid aside: My head is hurting right now, what about yang and yin, I don’t understand.

Yan Sanhe: "What is Mr. Zhu's last name? What is his name? Is there a prefix?"

The old manager didn't dare to say this directly, so Boss Zhu said for him, "My father's name is Xuanjiu and his courtesy name is Jingzhi."

Yan Sanhe: "Which one lasts longer?"

Boss Zhu: "A long, long, long time."

Yan Sanhe: "Master Zhu's generation, are all the Xuan generation?"

"That's right, they are all Xuanzi generation."

Boss Zhu: "My eldest uncle is named Zhu Xuanguang, my second uncle is named Zhu Xuangui, my third uncle is named Zhu Xuanyuan, and my fifth uncle is named Zhu Xuanjia. The names of the Zhu family are all based on their birth dates."

Just as Yan Sanhe was about to nod, his eyes fell on the bamboos, slightly surprised.

"Why is it dry?"

"We withdrew the formation yesterday, and all the flowers, plants and trees in the house withered overnight."

Boss Zhu sighed, "I think it's the Zhu family's misfortune that has begun again."

"It's a good thing."

Yan Sanhe glanced at Boss Zhu, "At least we didn't start with anyone anymore, which gave us time to relax."

"Miss Yan, are you serious?" Zhu Laoer's dry eyes were a little confused.

"really."

Yan Sanhe: "But the time for relaxation is limited, so we must seize it."

When the manager heard "limited", he was so frightened that he quickened his pace and said, "Miss Yan, come with me quickly."

……

In early winter, everything is depressed.

The dead trees and grass in Zhu Mansion added to the depression.

Not to mention those who knew Feng Shui, even Mr. Pei and Li Buyan, who didn't understand Feng Shui, all felt that this was a sign of the decline of Zhu Mansion.

Ordinary people's mansions are divided into three streets: left, middle and right.

The left road is also called the east road, and the right road is called the west road. The first two entrances of the middle road are the main hall and main hall, which are used to entertain guests, and the last two entrances can accommodate people.

Those with high status in the family usually live on the East Road.

General Zheng's Mansion, Xie Mansion, Ji Mansion... all are like this.

The most valuable person in the Zhu Mansion is Zhu Xuanjiu. Logically, he should live in the east, or in the middle of the road no matter what, but strangely, the old manager led Yan Sanhe to the west.

"Why does Mr. Zhu live in the west?"

The old man said hurriedly: "Before the old man passed away, the five brothers had not separated their families. The old man was a commoner, so he lived in the northwest corner."

"After the family was separated, my father said he was used to living in that yard and didn't want to move."

Boss Zhu answered: "Father said that I was the eldest son, so he let me live in the east."

"Where's your wife?"

Yan Sanhe asked again: "Does your wife also live with him in the west?"

Boss Zhu: "My wife lives on the middle road."

Oh?
Yan Sanhe frowned, "Have the couple slept separately these years?"

How should I say this?

Boss Zhu looked a little embarrassed.

"Tell the truth, Zhu Yuanmo."

Yan Sanhe shouted by his first and last name.

"You know the situation in the house better than I do. We don't have time to hesitate, say anything, or look around."
