Mrs. Yu also came back with the Wang brothers. When she heard Xiao Bai say that Xie Chengan had bought a big house for her, he immediately took some girls and the Wang brothers to clean it up.

Unexpectedly, less than a quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Yu sent Wang San'er back to the inn. It turned out that Xie Chengan had sent people to tidy up the house early, and Su Mulan and others could just "move in" with their bags.

In this case, there is no need to wait for tomorrow. It is not dark yet. You can move into a new house first. It is always more comfortable and free than staying in an inn.

But Yang Jing and the Yang brothers hadn't returned yet, so Su Mulan asked Wang Sanhai to hire a carriage to move everyone's luggage and belongings to the new house.

Su Mulan asked others to go to the new house first, and she and Ye Yuze waited for another half an hour until Yang Jing and others came back.

Yang Jing and others were the last to come back. Just because she was more concerned about renting shops, she visited all the shops around the county government office.

She visited several dental shops and inquired about them, and also investigated the leasing status of all nearby shops and what businesses they had.

Su Mulan was quite satisfied with this.

In fact, she spent the afternoon wandering around a bit and basically had a good idea of ​​what was going on. It’s just that Yang Jing took longer and had more comprehensive information.

There was no rush about the shop, so Su Mulan took Yang Jing and others to the new house.

With Wang Sanzi leading the way, we arrived in just two quarters of an hour.

The new house is located in Nanxiang, just one street away from the county government office.

The gate is in the southeast corner.

The ancients paid more attention to Feng Shui, and of course it is even more important for a house to live in.

Southeast is Sunda in the Bagua direction, and Sunda represents wind in the Five Elements. Opening the door in the southeast corner means smooth entry and exit, and safe entry and exit.

The gate of the new house is Manzi Gate.

Although it is just a gate, it is also divided into levels. For example, in the homes of noble princes, the front door often occupies three or five rooms.

The second-level gate will reveal the beams, which is called Guangliang Gate. The whole gate looks very tall and majestic. This is what the so-called wealthy families refer to.

The smaller golden pillar gates are also similar in shape, but the space is smaller.

Then there are barbarian gates like the Su family's new residence, which are mostly merchant residences. There is no way, the businessman's status is low. But this is also the mansion of a wealthy family.

There are also Ruyimen and Suiqiangmen, which are just doors opened on the wall. This is really a door, there is not even a concierge.

Su Mulan took Yang Jing into the gate, and what she saw when she looked up was a polished brick wall with an eight-character swallow-wing screen. Yang Jing looked at it in admiration from behind, sighing with emotion that no other wall could be so exquisite.

Su Mulan was also speechless. This Xie Chengan was really a son of an official. He chose such a luxurious house, but she wanted to keep a low profile.

It was getting a little dark, and Su Mulan didn't want to look closely at the carvings on the screen wall. Turn around and come to the hanging flower door. It can be said that this is the most beautiful door in the whole house.

The two front eaves columns in front of the door are suspended in mid-air, and the capitals are carved with a pair of budding lotus petals. This is also the reason why the Weeping Flower Gate got its name.

In addition to lotus petals, there will also be other hanging columns on the front eaves with shapes such as pomegranate heads, lotus seeds, and beads.

There are also carved beams and painted foreheads and sparrows on the hanging lotus pillars. There is a roll roof, a wind board, and a clear water ridge on the top, and a door pillow stone on the bottom. There are four doors in the middle.

This hanging flower door is said to be a door, but in fact it is more like a small house, with a corridor connected to the left and right.

This dynasty attaches great importance to etiquette, and all ladies cannot go out easily. They pay attention to not leaving the first door and not stepping forward from the second door. I’m talking about this hanging flower door.

There is a row of upside-down rooms between the main gate and the hanging flower door. The east and west rooms are mainly for the concierge, servants, and male servants.

If the family invites a private tutor or a male guest, they usually live in the reverse room.

Yang Jing followed Su Mulan slowly, admiring her tongue all the way. Although Yang Li is considered a wealthy family in Dazheng Village and the house he lives in is not small, it is not as exquisite as the houses in the city.

Yang Xiaowu and Yang Xiaoyao did not follow him into the second door.

After they entered the gate, they followed Qing Niu, Li Fan, and the Wang brothers to choose rooms in the outer courtyard. That's where they will live from now on.

Especially Yang Xiaowu, Su Mulan had already agreed with him to be the doorman of Suzhai, and his room would be the one closest to the door.

Su Mulan took Yang Jing around the hand-chaosing corridor and entered the inner courtyard.

Looking from a distance, we can see three main rooms, facing south and north, with side rooms on the left and right. There are three wing rooms on each side of the main house, and there are also two wing rooms on each side.

Both the main house and the wing have two floors. The son lives in the east wing, and the daughter lives in the west wing. Young ladies from wealthy families usually live on the second floor of the west wing, which is commonly known as the embroidery building.

If there are many sons in the family, the legitimate son will live in the east wing and the concubine will live in the west wing. The daughter lives in the backyard. They are similar but reflect their status.

Although Su Mulan knew this, she didn't have such a strong hierarchy in her concept.

Su Mulan arrived at the west wing first because she saw Yu and Xi'er busy here.

Logically speaking, as the elder, Mrs. Yu should live in the main house. But she knew very well who was in charge of the house.

Mrs. Yu came to the new house to check it out, and then decided to live in the west wing with Xi'er. Su Xiaobai naturally lives in the east wing.

After Su Mulan inquired about it, she persuaded Mrs. Yu to live in the main room, but she refused in every possible way, so Su Mulan had no choice but to let her go.

Mrs. Yu lives in the west wing, which makes it convenient for her to take care of Xi'er without affecting her own affairs.

There were not many people in the Su family, and the house was so big, so Su Mulan didn't bother to distinguish between master and servant. She asked Ye Xue and Ye Wu to live in the west wing with Yu and Xi'er.

Yang Jing could be considered a guest, and she was also the shopkeeper of the future shop, so Su Mulan simply let her live with Mr. Yu.

Su Xiaobai was too comfortable, living alone in the east wing. The middle is the living room, the left is the bedroom, and the right is simply used as a study.

Su Mulan thought about it and gave Ye Bing to Xiaobai, taking care of his daily life, waiting for his pen and ink, and "red sleeves add fragrance".

Arriving at the main room, Su Mulan saw that Ye Yu had already packed everything. She placed all Su Mulan's belongings in the east bedroom. The west side is reserved for Su Mulan's study.

Su Mulan asked Ye Yun and Ye Yue, and Ye Yu told them that they were preparing meals.

The Su family is small, even counting a few girls, the Wang brothers, and the Yang brothers, living in such a big house with three entrances still seems a bit empty.

No one was living in the back room for the time being, so Ye Yu used it as a temporary warehouse and put items that were not needed temporarily into the back room.

After taking a short rest, everyone also had a room to settle down.

We walked in the morning and went shopping in the afternoon. After dinner, everyone was a little tired, so they went to bed early.

Su Mulan was lying on the bed, thinking about everything.

Xie Chengan bought this house, but Su Mulan lived in it. She always had a strange feeling of being taken care of.

Although the two were in a passionate relationship, it still felt inappropriate for a man to spend so much money. However, Su Mulan thought that she would have to return the money to Xie Chengan later.
