As the sky gradually darkened, the rain had finally stopped for a day, and it started drizzling again in the evening.

In the open space outside the Gu Mansion, the manager of the Zhuang of Yuantong Auction House and the manager of the Junze pawnshop were waiting outside early.

Next to them, two stages were being built overnight, and countless people were busy and very lively. I heard that Yunda's celebration was going to be held here.

"Manager Zhuang, I'm wearing a grand dress today." Manager Qu looked at Zhuang Ji's brocade clothes and said.

"Manager Qu is not bad either." Manager Zhuang also responded.

"We always have to leave a good impression on the young shopkeeper. I wonder if we can meet the shopkeeper Gu of the escort agency today." Manager Qu always felt that Gu Shun was a little too young and asked him to manage the two shops, but I don't know what it would be like.

If they could be helped by Shunfeng Escort Agency and Yunda Commercial Bank, their good days would have taken off completely.

"Have Manager Qu ever come to Gu's Mansion?" Zhuang Ji looked at the tall lintel of Gu's Mansion and said in a longing.

"The Gu Mansion is a place like me who can enter casually. Although I wanted to go in and take a look a long time ago, I never had this opportunity." Manager Qu sighed.

"I went in once when I went to the escort agency to entrust escorts. It was so spacious and luxurious. It was so big that it could have such a large mansion in Jiangnan City, where every inch of land was worthy of being. It was worthy of being a rising star who surpassed the four major families."

The four major families that once dominated Jiangnan City have now become history, one of which has completely declined, and there is another family. Although they are low-key, their strength is not as good as before. The Gu family, which finally rose among the four major families, has become the biggest winner.

With the momentum of the escort agency, the wealth of the business, and the relationship with the prefect of Jiangnan, he was completely invincible and he completely settled in the top position of the Jiangnan City family and became an existence that could make the entire Jiangnan shake three times.

However, the Gu family did not arouse the anger and resentment of the people like many local snakes. Instead, they helped the people and tried their best to maintain order in Jiangnan. It can be said that under the current precarious situation of Daqi, Jiangnan can still flourish and stabilize, and there will not be so many disaster victims like other places. The Gu family made an indelible contribution.

Manager Qu nodded and stretched out his hand and said, "I hope that our meeting with the young shopkeeper will go well today, and we can work together as part of the Gu family in the future."

Zhuangji also stretched out his hand, and the two of them shook hands with fake smiles. The secret contest had already begun.

Except for the two of them, the people who came today were all the people on the list they received, and it can be said that most of them were their confidants.

These people were all worried and were extremely nervous waiting for Gu Shun's reception.

Before I knew it, the hour of Xu arrived, and the lanterns hanging in front of Gu's house were also lit up.

A big Gu word embroidered on the lampshade covered with pure white silk, which is particularly eye-catching against the fire inside.

Seeing that it was almost done, Zheng Ji sorted out his clothes, turned his head and looked at his nervous son Zhuang Yuyue and said:

"Don't be nervous. At that time, you can say whatever Manager Gu asks. He memorizes all the things I said to you today. Dad will try his best to say good things to you.

This opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must perform well and try to make the young shopkeeper remember you.

If you can be valued by the young shopkeeper, choose to be the closest servant, and follow you to serve the young shopkeeper, our banker will have completely achieved success."

He was already sweating at the palm of his hand and became even more nervous when he heard his father's words.

Soon, Manager Zhuang and Manager Qu came to the front of the Gu Mansion with a group of people.

The guards in front of the door saw such a large group of people gathering in front of the door, afraid that someone would come to cause trouble, so they had already called Huo Pao, who was on duty.

Head Huo Biao looked at these people one by one, then said, "You are the people of Yuantong, aren't you?"

Manager Zhuang took the lead and said, "Yes, we were called by Mr. Gu. Brother, can we let us in?"

"The young shopkeeper has already said hello in advance. You can go in, but before that, you must undergo inspection. All weapons and sharp weapons cannot be carried." Huo Biaotou said sternly.

"I understand, we must cooperate with the inspection, we did not bring any weapons."

Huo Biaotou winked, and the guard began to step forward and searched everyone. After everyone checked and confirmed that the young shopkeeper had not injured the weapon, he ordered a subordinate next to him: "You can take them in."

The person Huo Pai ordered was his apprentice. The apprentice immediately led the way and led everyone into Gu's mansion.

Manager Zhuang and Manager Qu successively crossed the threshold of Gu's mansion and officially entered the mansion.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a wide courtyard. The walls of the rushing screen are engraved with patterns such as auspicious clouds, swallows, lotus, carp, etc., which means auspiciousness. The edges of the screenstone wall are inlaid with a circle of glass. The glass seems to be mixed with ground night pearl powder, and a faint light flashes at night.

The people present were all from auction houses and pawn shops, and they were knowledgeable. But when they saw this glorious glaze at night, they couldn't help but pay great attention.

Walking on the corridor that communicates with each other to the courtyard, the rain pours down the hanging tiles on the corridor like a small waterfall. However, the splashing water is blocked by the transparent veil, which not only prevents the rain from splashing on the body, but also creates a hazy atmosphere.

The Gu Mansion is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and the buildings also absorb a lot of Hui styles. You can see several gray tiles and white walls and tall gate towers in the distance. The walls of the gate towers have exquisite carvings, and the carvings on the roof are even more exquisite and beautiful. The entire building is hidden by a small river gurgling through the Gu Mansion. Koi are wandering in the river, and the shore is green and shaded by green trees. The buildings with white walls and gray tiles are full of artistic beauty and also condense the charm of the Jiangnan town.

The houses on the central axis of the Gu Mansion are all buildings of the same style, with the rigor of the north, while many houses in the side courtyards and other courtyards echo the small and exquisite gardens, unique and unique scenery.

When Gu's Mansion was renovated, Gu Fan and Nangong Yue each invited many very outstanding architects based on their identities. Everyone made plans and discussed and collaborated one by one. Finally, the architectural complex with diverse design styles but excellent coordination is now available.

The people who came to Gu's mansion for the first time curiously looked at Gu's mansion hidden in the rain through the veil hanging on the corridor. Although they were not real, many people were still shocked by the style and elegance of this mansion.

Manager Zhuang was even more uncommon. He always thought that his small house was already very good, but compared with the style and Dianzhi of the Gu family, it was simply a witch.

After walking through the mansion for more than ten minutes, the group arrived at a side yard at the second entrance.

Gu Shun did not meet them at his residence. In addition to being safe, he could also avoid the surveillance of most parents.

After the disciple who was in charge of leading the way led everyone to the place, he said goodbye and turned away.

At this moment, there were many bodyguards from escort agencies standing inside and outside the yard, responsible for protecting Gu Shun's safety.

After all, this is Gu Shun who meets people outside. Before they can find out their details, no matter how small negligence is, they cannot be committed.

Looking at the many imposing people at the gate of the yard, they must be people in the escort agency. Although the young shopkeeper has not seen the face of the shopkeeper, the face of the cards comes up all of a sudden.

With a nervous mood, Manager Zhuang and Manager Qu entered the yard, while the others waited outside first and waited for Gu Shun to call them before they were qualified to enter this strictly managed courtyard.
