Chapter 55

A standard football field is only 4,050 to 10,800 square meters!

"This place is on the same street as the Rong and Ning Prefectures, so you can often see your sisters from the Rongguo Prefecture in the future."

Jia Hui said indifferently.

Yes.

This Jia Fu of Jia Hui's was located exactly on the same street as the Rong and Ning Prefectures!

It was just separated by a few other luxury mansions,

about a hundred meters away on foot.

Hearing Jia Hui's words,

Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen were somewhat surprised.

"Thank you for your concern, my Lord!"

Sister Sister Xiren said cautiously.

Her heart warmed slightly; she had not expected Jia Hui to care about such things for them.

Hearing Hearing Qingwen was also very surprised.

However, Hearing Hearing Qingwen was one whose "clear sky is hard to meet, and colorful clouds are easy to scatter; her heart was higher than the heavens, but her status was lowly."

"Her talent and beauty invited resentment."

Because of her personality, she had no friends at all in the Rongguo Prefecture.

On the contrary, she had offended many people!

Not to mention anything else,

if not for Jia Hui,

after she followed Jia Jia Jia Baoyu, she would have continued to offend Nanny Li, Xue Xue Baochai, Lin Lin Hongyu, Sister Sister Xiren, and Lady Wang...

And these were just the main ones mentioned.

Who knew if she had offended others as well?

But it was likely quite a few!

Therefore, regarding Jia Hui's words,

although she appreciated the sentiment,

she did not feel particularly happy.

Recalling the cold, mocking, and sneering looks of the other maids when she had just left the Jia family, she felt a fire in her heart and said: "I have no friends in the Rongguo Prefecture; even if you invited me in the future, I wouldn't care to go."

At the main gate,

Jia Hui was slightly surprised to hear this, but did not find it strange!

This was exactly in line with Hearing Hearing Qingwen's personality!

Beautiful, straightforward, capable, and thoughtful!

Moreover, Jia Hui vaguely felt

that Hearing Hearing Qingwen was a smart one.

These words were not just simple thoughts from her heart;

she might also be calculating how to curry favor with him!

After all, she was no longer a person of the Rongguo Prefecture, but his person.

The slave contract was held in Jia Hui's palm!

So it was only right to please him and distance herself from her old master to live better with her new one.

Although Hearing Hearing Qingwen had a sharp tongue, she was a smart person.

Because she was used to suffering,

she naturally wanted to live a good life.

To live a good life,

she had to climb upward!

And how to climb?

Naturally, by pleasing Jia Hui, her master.

As for the position of wife,

she did not dare to think about it.

Qin Qin Qin Keqing was Jia Hui's legal wife;

she knew this.

However, with a heart higher than the heavens, Hearing Hearing Qingwen dared to think of the status of a concubine.

And she dared to think of it very much!

Seeing Jia Hui wantonly bully even the two Jia prefectures, and seeing Lady Jia bow her head!

And then arriving here,

Hearing Hearing Qingwen's mindset had already undergone a great change at this moment!

From the reluctance of leaving the Rongguo Prefecture, feeling that life was dark and hopeless!

To blushing at the sight of Jia Hui's appearance,

and finally to now, where she had happily accepted her identity as Jia Hui's person!

Jia Hui did not think too much about what Hearing Hearing Qingwen was thinking.

He was the master.

If anyone was to guess thoughts, it should be Hearing Hearing Qingwen guessing his.

So Jia Hui said indifferently: "Go knock on the door."

He called one of the Bingzhou Wolf Riders,

who stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Before long,

with a "creak!"

The main gate did not move.

The small side door opened,

and a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties walked out.

His appearance was completely ordinary,

and he was wearing a grey long gown.

After sizing up Jia Hui and his group,

he hurriedly trotted forward and asked cautiously: "May I ask, distinguished guest, are you Viscount Jia Hui?"

"It is I. Do you know me?"

Jia Hui asked indifferently.

He smiled and said: "How could I, Master! I heard that you are the God of War of our Great Great Great Qian. Seeing your demeanor and bearing, I guessed it was likely you. Moreover, this mansion is now your mansion, and the imperial court has already given instructions. I have been waiting for a long time, and I figured only you would come to knock on the door."

"A smart one, indeed."

Jia Hui looked at him and praised him.

This made the man very happy.

Little did he know,

he had already been sentenced to "death"!

Tomorrow morning,

when Jia Yun arrived, he would be dismissed and sent packing!

It was not that there was anything wrong with the man;

Jia Hui had no ill feelings toward him.

It was simply because of three words:

Vigilance!

One must never forget institutions Love Love Like the Inner Guard, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the Imperial City Department!

He would bet a million!

Among the people in this Jia Fu,

at least one was an ear and eye for the Emperor or the Retired Emperor!

And that was the most conservative estimate.

In reality, there were definitely many!

It was even possible that the entire staff were undercover agents!

Jia Hui would not be surprised at all.

It was not that he thought they were deliberately targeting him,

but that almost every imperial official and general likely received this treatment!

So, for the sake of insurance,

Jia Hui would naturally dismiss them all.

Afterward, he could just install his own summoned loyalists.

Externally, he would recruit,

or buy from the human markets.

And those bought could not be trusted either.

At most, they would do some peripheral work.

It was only safe to have one's own people close by.

"Come, open the door and lead the way."

"Then introduce the situation of the mansion!"

Jia Hui's expression was calm.

"Yes, Master."

"This humble one is called Lin Gui."

"Currently, including myself, there are ten servants in the mansion, seven men and three women."

Lin Gui respectfully returned and opened the main gate for Jia Hui.

Then he led the way, nodding and bowing.

Jia Hui followed.

Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen followed one step behind, one on each side.

The remaining ten Bingzhou Wolf Riders led their horses,

still walking at the very back with vigilance.

At the slightest sign of trouble,

they would draw their weapons to guard Jia Hui's surroundings.

"Reporting to Master."

"The Jia Fu mansion has 9 large courtyards, containing 30 small courtyards, totaling 388 rooms."

After introducing the staff composition,

Lin Gui introduced the mansion in detail.

Jia Hui and the others listened,

while observing and admiring the mansion.

[67] Satisfying Hearing Hearing Qingwen and Sister Sister Xiren! Feeding them full (8)

Upon entering, there was a winding corridor,

and the path under the steps was paved with pebbles.

It seemed

that during this time, Lin Gui and the others had carefully cleaned the mansion.

There was not much trash to be seen along the way.

It was very clean.

As for the Jia Fu,

the entire courtyard was laid out rigorously, designed ingeniously, and built with great care; the bricks and tiles were well-fitted, the craftsmanship was exquisite, the dougong brackets and flying eaves were magnificent, the decorations were gilded, and the brick, stone, and wood carvings were superb, with pavilions and towers intersecting!

It fully embodied a glorious and noble style!

It made Jia Hui and the others very satisfied and pleased!

"The mansion's architecture is divided into three routes: East, Middle, and West. Each route is composed of multi-entry courtyard houses connected by a strict central axis from south to north."

"The most important buildings on the middle route are the Green Hall and the Cool Pavilion."

Lin Gui told Jia Hui and the others.

Jia Hui looked at the roofs of the halls, which were all covered with green glazed tiles, showing the majesty and grandeur of the middle route.

The main room of the front courtyard on the east route was called the Hundred Blessings Pavilion.

In front of the hall was a wisteria vine that had grown for over two hundred years!

"It has been kept alive since the previous dynasty."

"It is still growing very well to this day, which is extremely rare in the entire Divine Capital."

Lin Gui introduced.

This made Sister Sister Xiren and Hearing Hearing Qingwen take a few more looks.

Then they passed through the three-bay hanging flower gate and the four-sided covered corridor, walking to the rear courtyard of the east route.

In front of them was a white wall built on the water, which looked to be at least two meters high!

It was covered with black tiles!

The top of the wall was built in a wavy shape, and in the center, a moon-gate red-lacquered door was left slightly ajar.

In the meantime,

the black plaque on the door was inscribed with the three gold-stamped characters "Zheng Shen Tang."

Lin Gui introduced: "The main room in the back courtyard is called 'Zheng Shen Tang,' which is your living quarters, Master."

Jia Hui looked left and right.

There were snow-white plastered walls, with tiger-skin stones at the bottom, built along the terrain!

Looking forward,

he saw white stones, some Love Love Like ghosts, others Love Love Like fierce beasts, standing horizontally and vertically, covered with moss and shaded by wisteria.

The entire large courtyard was very big.

The whole courtyard was magnificent, luxurious, and filled with flowers.

It was over five hundred square meters!

Truly worthy of being the main room!

Afterward,

Jia Hui was in no hurry to visit his own main bedroom.

Instead, he took a brief tour of every part of the mansion.

Even so,

it took a full hour.

In addition to the courtyards and houses on the east route,

the courtyard houses on the west route were clearly more compact and exquisite compared to the grandeur and luxury of the east side.

The main buildings were the Brilliance Room and the Eternal Peace Study.

The masterpiece was the tall and grand Eternal Peace Study, which had beautifully carved nanmu partitions in the main hall.

At the deepest part of the mansion lay a two-story rear building, 156 meters long from east to west, with 88 windows on the back wall and 108 rooms inside, commonly known as "99 and a half rooms."

This took the Daoist meaning of "fullness leads to overflow."
