Vol 5 Chapter 3: the haunted house

At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, three exquisite and luxurious carriages, full of wooden boxes, came in a mighty manner. There are bodyguards on both sides. It is really a big family traveling with great momentum.

Fu Mingsu raised his robe and stepped forward, and the one who got off the carriage was the elegant and elegant Yi Jixuan.

The two beautiful men are both handsome, with high buns and rich brocade clothes, neat and tidy. Standing together, they are really eye-catching, attracting the admiring gazes of the ladies of the officials.

"Brother, please!" Fu Mingsu stretched out his hand to greet him, and Yi Jilan greeted him too, happily welcoming his elder brother. Married alone in the south, there will always be times when I miss my family. Fortunately, now that the eldest brother is here, he is starting to expand the Yi family business in the south, and will also settle in the capital. Since then, she has her mother's family nearby.

Yi Jixuan bowed to Ming Su: "Ming Su, don't be in a hurry to enter the mansion, you take me to see the house first."

Fu Mingsu was slightly surprised: "Brother is so eager to see that house."

Yi Jixuan also smiled softly: "Ming Su, living in the Prime Minister's mansion, I just feel disturbed, so today I will trouble you to go and see the house first, so that I can move into the new house as soon as possible."

Yi Jilan also immediately stepped forward to explain: "Master, please take my brother to see it first, my brother lives in the mansion, I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable all over."

Fu Mingsu smiled, and understood Yi Jixuan's desire to move into the new house as soon as possible. After all, living under the hedge of others is tied up, let alone living in the prime minister's mansion, so Yi Jixuan must have felt the pressure.

In fact, they and their families will also find it inconvenient.

"Okay. I'll take you there right now, lady." Fu Mingsu told Yi Jilan, "I'll trouble you here, and let someone bring the carriage into the mansion."

Yi Jilan smiled gracefully, beckoning the servants to take Yi's carriage and servants to lead the carriage to the back alley.

"Is the house far away?" Yi Jixuan and Fu Ming walked down the steps. For businessmen, the feng shui and location of the house are very important.

Fu Mingsu looked at Yi Jixuan with a smile: "It's all according to big brother's request. The location is good, the price is low, and..." Fu Mingsu looked puzzled, "It's the legendary yin house. Oh, big brother, everyone can't avoid the yin house. Why did the eldest brother want to buy it?"

Yi Jixuan smiled lightly and said nothing, his eyes were more mysterious: "I'll talk to elder brother when I get there."

Fu Ming looked back with anticipation, and took Yi Jixuan to the famous yin house in the capital.

Every city has a legendary yin house. The yin house meets some common characteristics, such as many people have died, such as people who live in it will see ghosts.

Fu Mingsu knew that business people would have their own hobbies when choosing houses, and would even spend a lot of money to hire Feng Shui masters to arrange Feng Shui. I have also heard that some businessmen like to buy private houses before. I didn't believe it before, but I didn't expect my uncle to become the one who bought private houses.

This yin house is also famous in the capital, and its location is particularly good, located in the southeast area of ​​the capital. That is on the edge of the area where the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital live.

Most of the people living in this area are well-known literati in the capital. And this house is also related to the "A Beautiful Picture" that Fu Mingsu sold to Wang Yi.

Because this house is the old house of Huang Ye, a Taoist in Huangshan.

It is rumored that after Huang Ye disappeared, this old house was given to Huang Ye's die-hard fans. But I didn't expect that not long after I lived here, it would start to be haunted.

After that, the house changed hands several times. Every buyer came in without believing in ghosts and gods, and some of them were scared out of ghosts. After that, no one bought this house again, and this house became a private house.

This house is not far from Xiangfuguo. Yi Jixuan walked along with Fu Mingsu, talking and chatting, before he knew it, he came to the gate of this mansion.

There is still a crumbling plaque on the gate of the mansion, the plaque of the previous resident: Mafu. Because no one has lived in the house for a long time, it has also become dilapidated, has lost its popularity, and is lifeless. Even if it is not a shady house, the wind coming from the crack of the door is a bit cold.

"Now there is a calligrapher and a royal musician living on both sides of this house, and they are also decent people in Beijing." Fu Mingsu was very reliable in his work, not only found a big house for him according to Yi Jixuan's request, but also brought his neighbors along. What kind of person is, also made some understanding.

Choosing a house and neighbors is a very particular thing in a big family, because any neighbor may become a future contact. People who have money naturally choose their neighbors to live in.

"This time it's really Lao Mingsu. Ji Xuan is ashamed. I really don't dare to let the grand master of the left to do all the work for me." Yi Jixuan said, gently shaking Fu Mingsu's arm affectionately. , "I brought a gift for Ming Su, and I will bring it back to the prime minister's mansion later, so don't dislike Ming Su."

Fu Mingsu also nodded and smiled: "Brother uncle is really polite, my family doesn't talk about each other, and my business will need a lot of help from my brother in the future."

Yi Jixuan patted Fu Mingsu's arm lightly: "Mingsu, you're being polite. It's a matter of course. If you and I work together, the South will eat it sooner or later!" Yi Jixuan's gestures were full of businessman's confidence and arrogance , the momentum is not inferior to the marshal who is strategizing on the battlefield!

Fu Mingsu took out the key of the old house: "Uncle, please."

Yi Jixuan took the key, strode up the steps, looked at the wide lintel in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction. Immediately, he took out the key and inserted it into the dilapidated keyhole, with a "click!", with a rusty jamming sound, the chain fell to the ground with a "crash".

Yi Jixuan pushed the door open, "Huh!" Immediately, a dark wind passed through the hall and blew on Yi Jixuan's face head-on, bringing a burst of osmanthus fragrance. Silver Osmanthus, blooming in autumn! Fill the air with the sweetness of cinnamon.

"Now uncle, can you tell me why you bought this private house?" Fu Mingsu stood beside Yi Jixuan.

Yi Jixuan looked at the courtyard in front of him for a while, and stepped in without hesitation: "Because it's cheap."

Fu Mingsu was stunned by Yi Jixuan's answer, and then he couldn't help but laugh. This answer is really true.

Isn't the shady house cheap?

There is a musty smell of wood naturally in a house that has not been lived in for a long time, but this musty smell is easily concealed in the cinnamon. Weeds were overgrown on the ground, and wild vegetables grew on the threshold. The wood is a bit loose, but it can be seen that the high-quality camphor wood was used back then. Even if no one lived and took care of it, there was no sign of termite breeding.

The whole house is well preserved, except for a little paint peeling in some places, which is very convenient to repair. Most of the furniture is still there, in good mahogany. One resident after another has added nice things to the house.

What Yi Jixuan likes most is that there is a huge lotus pond in this house, and there is a small pavilion and rockery beside the pond. It must be the moonlight of the lotus pond here at night, which must have a special charm.
