Chapter 1421 Neighbor Fan’s Mansion, Visit!
"Huh~" Breathing the fresh air outside the palace, Li Chengru felt relieved.

He came to his new home with more than a dozen servants. Looking at the grand door with the four big characters "Anyang Marquis Mansion" on it, he felt so familiar for some reason.

"Young master, we're here!" Xiao Si, the personal eunuch, stepped forward to report.

"Well, not bad~" Li Chengru was very satisfied with the new home.

He got off the large carriage and slowly walked through the gate of the marquis's mansion with the help of Xiao Si.

There were quite a few people standing in the wide courtyard in front, including servants, guards, nannies, and maids, totaling nearly a hundred servants.

"Greetings, Lord Marquis!" Everyone bowed.

Li Chengru nodded: "Get up!"

Afterwards, he handed all the sundries to Xiao Si and walked around the new home leisurely with his hands behind his back. After all, he was his biological son, so Emperor Qing was quite considerate of him.

Although the title was only that of a county marquis, the mansion was still very large, covering a total area of ​​more than 6 square meters, equivalent to the size of 8 football fields.

It is mainly a large courtyard facing north and south, with nearly a hundred houses of various sizes, including courtyard residences, high pavilions, etc., which are divided into the front hall and guest rooms for receiving guests according to their functions, and then the inner courtyard where the owner lives.

The head of the family's residence is located to the north of the middle road. Li Chengru naturally lives here. It is a separate small house with four courtyards, including the main house, left and right wing rooms, the back room, the ear room, etc.

There are relatively few people now, so the other courtyards are naturally empty. There is a three-courtyard courtyard next to the garden in the northwest corner. After Emperor Qing passes away in a few years, his mother, Concubine Ning, can be brought in.

The small courtyard next to it looks like it should be the ancestral hall of the original owner. Of course, it is now empty. In a sense, getting married and setting up a family home can be regarded as dividing the family, which can be used in the future.

The four adjacent two-entry courtyards in the south can be used as residences for concubines in the future. In total, there are more than ten courtyards in the entire mansion.

The largest area is the back garden, which is planted with various peonies, roses and other precious flowers. There is even an artificial lake the size of half a football field with a small pavilion on it.

There are also several independent small courtyards in the front yard, and the children can move out when they grow up. The adjacent large courtyard can be used as a private school, which is also a standard configuration for wealthy families.

The front hall further forward is mainly where the Gu Mansion's library, hall, guest rooms, etc. are located. In the front is the back house where the servants, such as the stable and gatehouse, live.

So many rooms and courtyards, connected by corridors and paths, occupy most of the street. If it were seven years ago, there might not be such a good place.

But since Emperor Qing had killed many powerful people, the previous owner of this mansion was said to be a veteran of three dynasties. It must be said that he had quite good taste. There was no need to change the decoration, just replace the furniture.

The branch government gave 2 taels of silver, plus the money that his mother Ning Cairen forced on him before he left, so there are more than 2 taels of silver in total. Don't think that it looks like a lot of money, because it can only support him for two years at most, and then he will be starving. You should save as much as you can.

It is not easy to support hundreds of servants. The monthly salary alone is over a hundred taels, and the miscellaneous expenses added up is not a small amount.

There is nothing he can do about being short of money now. He is not like other princes who have relatives to rely on. For example, if the second prince sets up his own mansion, he will definitely not be short of money. He can look for opportunities to make some money in the future. A person who has been reborn cannot let himself die of suffocation. It is ridiculous to worry about money.

After dinner, I was soaking my feet when the eunuch Xiao Si, who had grown up with me, came in and said, "Young Master, this is the roster of the servants in our mansion~"

"Well, you will be the chief steward from now on!" Li Chengru waved his hand and didn't want to look.

It's easy to guess that the people assigned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs must have other masters behind them. The Marquis' Mansion is like a sieve now, and it's too lazy to take care of these trivial matters as long as it doesn't affect the normal operation.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your respect!"

"By the way, our two neighbors next door are like this!"

"In reply to my question, the house on our left is empty, and the one on the right is the residence of Mr. Fan Jianfan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Si Nanbo!"

"Fan Jian!" Li Chengru smiled a little. He didn't know who came up with this crappy name, but at this moment he had an idea.

"Xiao Si, send someone to send a letter to Master Fan tomorrow and tell him that I want to visit him~"

"Follow me~"

"Go down!"

After Xiao Si left, Li Chengru waited for the maid to carefully wipe his feet, then he lay on the mahogany carved bed in his underwear, and gave a thumbs up to his choice again. This is the life that people should live. When he was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, he suddenly found a soft and fragrant jade in his arms, and his brother was attacked. He was startled at the time, and all his sleepiness disappeared instantly.

"What are you doing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the little maid who had just climbed onto the bed instantly knelt on the ground. Because she had taken off her outer clothes when she got into bed, tears rolled down her neck, slid down through her underwear and into her cleavage.

"My lord, I will take care of you and let you go to bed." The little maid lowered her head, a little scared.

Li Chengru frowned and sat up. Judging from her age, she should be around 28 years old, with a delicate face and crescent-shaped eyebrows. Her lips trembled slightly under her small nose, making her look pitiful. Her skin was so tender that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

He is certainly not a gentleman, but this is a bit too outrageous!

This body of mine is only 13 years old and it will take at least a few more years for her to mature. Who asked her to seduce me?

This is because he hopes that he will die soon, and it would be best if he could indulge in the land of pleasure. Today, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he felt something was wrong. The little maids were prettier than each other, some were plump and some were thin.

There is definitely a conspiracy here!

It's no wonder that Li Chengru thought too much. There have been many hidden attacks in the past few years. If he hadn't turned a blind eye to them, he wouldn't have lived to this day to set up his own government. The palace is a cannibalistic place.

"What's your name?" He spoke in a casual tone, and even had a faint smile on his face.

The little maidservant whispered, "My servant Chun He!"

"Who asked you to come here?"

"Madame Xu!"

Li Chengru's face changed, and he suddenly shouted to the outside: "Xiao Si!"

"Young master, you called me!" The eunuch Xiao Si came running in.

"Have that Xu Ma Ma beaten up and sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"As ordered!"

After giving the instructions, I looked at the pitiful little maid and didn't know what to do.

After a few seconds, he waved his hand and said, "Go down. I don't need you to serve me for the time being!"

A night without words...

The next morning, Li Chengru was dressed neatly in a bright cobalt blue uniform. The irregular diamond-shaped silver thread pattern on the chest had a bit of a gangster style. His belt was light brown and his undershirt was crimson.

It's just that the thing in his hand is a little strange. Li Chengru likes to defeat skill with force, so he usually practices stick techniques, using a wrought iron stick weighing a hundred pounds as a weapon.

If you want to visit the neighbor next door, you don't need a carriage, you can just walk over.

Arriving at the gate of Fan's residence, Xiao Si said to the gatekeeper, "Please inform them that Marquis Anyang is here to see Lord Sinan!"

"Please wait~" the doorman hurried back to report.

In fact, if he was an ordinary earl, there would be no need to be so polite, but this is Fan Jian.

Although his title is not high, he has considerable real power in the court. When the Ministry of Revenue has been short of a minister for many years, he, as the assistant minister, is the top leader.

Soon the door to the Fan Mansion opened wide, and Fan Jian strode out: "Oh, the eldest prince is here to visit, I am so sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

To be continued...
