Chapter Forty-Eight: River House


Sitting on the royal giant sedan chair, even the feeling of looking at the scenery is different from that of an ordinary carriage.

If you really want Mu Fan to say something different, he can't say it.

The carriage passed by the Luoyu Song and Dance Workshop, and the sound of women babbling and singing could be vaguely heard.

At first, he wanted to go and see Su Niannu, but now the situation does not allow it.

In order to highlight that he attaches great importance to talents, Zhao Jianyan specially called Mu Fan and Zhou Xun to his car.

Mu Fan and Zhou Xun hadn't seen each other for a long time, and after the two met, they exchanged a few words of greeting, and then stopped talking, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

After a while, Mu Fan made an excuse and went to the sedan chair in the back to find Xiaowan.

Xiaowan hung up the curtains on both sides of the sedan chair and turned her face sideways to enjoy the scenery along the way.

Mu Fan sat next to her, didn't say anything, turned his face sideways, leaned against the window on the other side, and cast his eyes out of the window.

It's also quiet, but it doesn't seem awkward here, it's just quieter.

After walking for half a day, the team stopped at a city in Mingzhou.

The local county guard gave up his residence and ordered someone to clean it up, and then personally invited Zhao Jianyan to move in.

In fact, Zhao Jianyan didn't pay attention to his residence, he had a miserable childhood, but he was still very happy when he heard that the local county guard gave him his residence.

He doesn't pay attention to the quality of his residence, he cares about whether other people's attitude towards him is the same as other princes.

And so on and so on for three days.

On the fourth day, the group passed through Sangju and traveled to Jinju Hazhong Province.

Hajungju is the largest castle in Jinju, and the Taejo of Jinju sits here and oversees more than a dozen castles.

The power of Taishou is very great, and if the official achieves this step, he can already be regarded as a feudal official.

Due to the perennial conquest of the imperial court, the local financial power had to be relaxed.

In peacetime, Taishou had limited financial power and could not mobilize more than 1,000 troops at will, but now this system does not work.

Once a war starts, everything has to be done in the service of defeating the opponent.

The powerless Taishou could not send troops and delay the fighters.

In the end, the imperial court could only give more power to the Taishou, and in some cases, they were even allowed to act cheaply and mobilize troops below 100,000.

Mu Fan and his entourage arrived here, and after Zhao Jianyan rested in Taishou's mansion, he did not continue to stay here, but went to the most famous auction house in Hezhong Mansion - Canghai.

Canghai has set up many branches, and there is a very magnificent branch in Hezhong Province.

Mu Fan once went to the Canghai branch once, and met Wu Shao, the family's florist, there.

He had seen the grandeur of the Canghai branch, but he didn't know what kind of scenery this one in Hezhong Mansion was.

Canghai is not just an auction house, it is a very large institution.

Many powers hold shares, including the royal family.

This organization has many uses, and relaying information is one of its many functions.

Zhao Jianyan changed into the service of his son's brother, and the frame was also replaced with the mount of a cultivator.

Mu Fan noticed that there was always an old eunuch by Zhao Jianyan's side, no matter where Zhao Jianyan was, the old eunuch would not leave Zhao Jianyan.

His intuition told him that the old eunuch was very strong, and there might not be a single person in the entire convoy who was his opponent.

These days, Mu Fan is ostensibly idle, but in fact he has been secretly observing the people in the convoy.

Among the inconspicuous guards, miscellaneous servants, and ceremonial officials, maybe one of them is someone from the Mu family or the Sword Sect.

After several days of observation, he could not see anything.

Thinking about it, I was relieved, and I was relieved that I could hide in the convoy for birthday celebrations, and it must be someone who had been hidden for many years.

The convoy was divided into two units, one part stayed in Hezhong Mansion, and the other part followed Zhao Jianyan to Canghai.

When he arrived at Canghai, Mu Fan finally got a glimpse of the whole picture.

There is no sense of desolation in the autumn colors here, but there is a fleeting beauty.

The red maple leaves are spread on the road, no one cleans them, and when they step on them, the branches and leaves make a fine cracking sound.

If one person or a couple of lovers walk through it, it should feel better than a team.

This Canghai branch is like a garden, not built around the mountains, even if it is located in the plain, it is still full of layers.

The color palette of the garden is dark, contrasting with the red maple leaves of autumn, but not abrupt, just right.

The gatekeeper was an old man, seventy or eighty years old, with age spots on his face.

When he walked, he staggered, and his body was rickety, not like a person in cultivation.

The old eunuch's drooping eyelids rolled up slightly, glanced at the old man, and then returned to the way he was just now.

The old man stopped everyone, he saw at a glance that Zhao Jianyan had the highest status, and walked to Zhao Jianyan's side, "Childe doesn't look like an ordinary person." ” Zhao Jianyan beckoned, but did not pay attention to the old man.

The old eunuch behind him took a step forward and walked up to the old man.

The old eunuch's sleeve flicked, and a jade plaque poked out of his sleeve.

His speed was so fast that Mu Fan's line of sight couldn't keep up, and he didn't notice anything.

As soon as the jade card came out, the old man immediately retreated, made way out, and bowed down at the same time and said, "Please." ” With Mu Fan's strength, he could only see the old eunuch take a step forward, and then the old man took the initiative to give way.

After the old man finished saying the word "please", a very beautiful woman in palace clothes took the initiative to find everyone, and she led the way in front.

As we walked, we introduced the role of each building.

Zhao Jianyan said: "Take us to the private room of Tianzi A, you don't have to worry about the rest." ” The woman smiled and nodded, no more talking.

Everyone followed the woman into the auction room and went straight to the third floor of the private room.

The private rooms are simply furnished, and the room is filled with a fresh fragrance.

The colors in the room are pastel, and you feel comfortable as soon as you enter.

Mu Fan stood by the window, looked at the layout of the lower floor, and secretly said in his heart: "Different identities, treatment is really different." ” He noticed that there seemed to be a formation around the windows, and the outside could be seen from the inside, but from the outside, it looked like the windows on the third floor were always closed.

The last time I arrived at the Canghai branch, Mu Fan sat on the first floor.

I followed Zhao Jianyan over today and sat on the third floor.

Most of the people stayed around the house and didn't come in.

One by one, they looked around vigilantly, protecting the prince's safety.

The old eunuch stood behind Zhao Jianyan, he didn't dare to be interested in the auction, and came here mainly to exchange information.

Zhao Jianyan's expression was indifferent, because these people exchanged information and did not report to him at all.

The old eunuch beside him is the head, and the old eunuch was arranged by his father.

From time to time, guards came to deliver tea, and once the tea was delivered, the old eunuch went out once.

Zhao Jianyan had no right to stop it, so he could only pretend not to see it.

The guards came to deliver tea as a code, asking the old eunuch to go out.

Some information is too important, or the information holder is unwilling to exchange, so the person in charge has to decide whether to grab or pay a higher price.

In the evening, the auction began, and Zhao Jianyan became a little interested.

He walked to the window and watched as the beautiful woman on the stage brought up the auction items one by one, and the interest he had just mentioned disappeared again.

The things auctioned were of average grade and quality, far less good than those at home.
