Su Xun looked at the map carefully. The layout of the imperial city was shown on it. Whether it was the streets or the houses, they were all marked. The more he looked at it, the worse his face became.
Li Lin sighed in his heart, but his face was calm and unmoving: "I got this map from the Western Wei Kingdom by chance, but what's the problem?"
Su Xun saw that Li Lin's face was calm, and he didn't look like he was lying. He stopped guessing anything else, so he asked him, "Is there any news?!"
"Yes." Li Lin took out a fire folder from a cabinet next to the carriage. Su Xun took it, then opened the lid, blew on it to ignite a flame, and then used the flame to burn under the map.
The flames burned on the corners for a while, only scorching some fine hairs, but not half of the paper.
Li Lin stretched out his hand to take the map over and covered the fire fold: "This map is made of special materials, as are the materials for the paintings on it. It will not be damaged by water or fire."
Su Xun listened, but felt a little irritated. This thing couldn't be dealt with, it was just a hot potato.
Although the countries are calm on the surface, there are turbulent storms secretly. After forming alliances, they are also on guard. At the foot of the imperial city, there are no one knows how many craftsmen and mapmakers are mixed in. If the map of the country's capital falls into the hands of another country, , that is a fatal thing.
There are also clear regulations on maps. Ordinary people draw and keep them privately. Even traveling caravans cannot possess such detailed maps.
Li Lin has such a map in his hand. If he is caught, he may be treated as a minor, which is a serious crime that requires beheading.
Can Su Xun not worry? !
"Then what should we do?!"
Li Lin said: "If not, I will hand it over to the Duke of Zhenguo."
Su Xun thought about it and shook his head: "No."
Such things cannot be handed over to the emperor, nor to Prince Zhao. Your Majesty is the king of a country. Although he is not a suspicious person by nature, when it comes to key matters, he would rather kill someone than let go. And Zhao The prince and the emperor are of the same mind.
As for the Duke of this town, who knows what he is thinking.
Although Duke Zhen Guo is now serving Dong Zhao, no one knows what will happen in the future. Although Su Xun is his son-in-law, he is loyal to the emperor after all, and he will not leave this thing in the hands of Duke Zhen Guo.
"How about you go back and find a place where no one is around, dig a hole and bury it?! That's not a good idea either. What if someone picks it up and falls into someone else's hands?"
Li Lin put the map in the box: "I will go back to my hometown after the Dragon Boat Festival and find a place deep in the mountains and old forests to bury it."
Su Xun thought for a while and decided that this was the best: "That's fine, just do as you say."
Because of this incident, Su Xun was a little worried. His mood was not very high after that. When he got off the bus, he was obviously not as happy as when he went out.
Su Wan glanced at him, wondering what happened in the car to make him unhappy.
There were three houses that Li Lin brought them to see, with different sizes and different locations. The first one was not very far from Jinning Marquis Mansion, and it only took thirty minutes to sit in a carriage and burn a stick of incense.
The first house was called Qingfeng Villa. The previous owners of the house were an academy dean and his wife. The wife was a famous and talented woman. Although the house was not big, it was exquisite in every aspect.
The courtyard is divided into a front yard and a backyard. The front yard has a main courtyard for entertaining guests and a guest garden. There is also a small courtyard for the servants to live in. The backyard is divided into a main house and three small courtyards. There is also a small courtyard in the garden. There is a lotus pond in the garden. Although it is not big, it has rockeries, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.
Step by step, one scene after another, the years of life are integrated into this poetic and picturesque scene.
"I remember that this courtyard was the villa of Dean Zhao, the founder of Qingshan Academy, and his wife, Mrs. Zhen Hua. After the two passed away, this place became empty."
Dean Zhao of Qingshan Academy was a bachelor of his generation and the most famous teacher in the past hundred years. He taught all his life and had students all over the world. His wife, Mrs. Zhenhua, was also a famous talented woman in the world at that time.
A few days ago, Su Ran wrote some poems, which were circulated, and she was named a talented woman. She was also said to be Mrs. Zhenhua, which shows that she was named Mrs. Zhenhua.
Nowadays, the descendants of Dean Zhao and Mrs. Zhen Hua live in Qingshan Academy and manage all the affairs of the academy. They rarely come to Qingfeng Villa.
The group of people walked in through the gate, went to the main courtyard and then looked at the backyard, and finally went to the waterside pavilion in the garden to enjoy the cool breeze.
"Third Master, what do you think of this place?! I sent someone to inquire and found out that the people living around it are all officials or literati, which means the location is a bit small."
Of course, a small person is not a small person. In such a courtyard, it is considered good for officials in the court, who are below the third rank, to live in such a courtyard.
Even though the Jinning Marquis Mansion is so big, it is the mansion of a former prince. The fact that the Su family can live in it is a gift from the emperor's favor to the Su family.
The main reason is that Li Lin is alone and has no relatives. In the future, the couple will live together in this villa, even if they have children, it will be enough.
Su Xun was actually very satisfied. After all, with Li Lin's identity, it was indeed impossible for him to build a high-class mansion.
However, his thoughts were slapped in the face when he arrived at the next house.
The next house is a real high-class house, which is a little smaller than the Jinning Marquis Mansion. There are many houses inside, with front and back gardens, and not far away is the Zhaowang Mansion. The nearby houses are either relatives of the emperor or high officials. Big clan.
Su Xun still felt a little weak when he stepped on it. The house was a good house, big and good, but the Li family had no status, so living in such a yard was a little weak. It would be better than the Qingfeng Villa in front of it.
The last one is a decent-looking house, with seven or eight courtyards like this. Even though it is surrounded by officials, it is also far away from the Jinning Marquis Mansion.
After discussing with Su Wan, Su Xun finally felt that Qingfeng Villa was the best.
Su Wan also thinks that Qingfeng Villa is good. She likes the scenery inside, especially some of the exquisite designs. She feels that if she lives in it, she will definitely live a comfortable life. The house is too big and eye-catching, and it is too stereotyped. I find it boring.
Qingfeng Villa has a kind of beauty that twists the years and turns the days into poetry.
Li Lin can live in any place. The reason why she chose these three houses is entirely because of Su Wan. If she likes high-end mansions, she will live in big houses, that's all. But she chose Qingfeng Villa. It was also within his expectation.
Su Wan is not the kind of person who is greedy for face and glory. On the contrary, she is more keen on living her own life behind closed doors. For her, a comfortable and good-humored environment is the easiest to be loved by her. .
And she also likes to take care of those flowers and plants by herself, which is just right.
