The two of them continued to argue until they reached the entrance of Jia Yapeng's hotel. It was almost Chinese New Year, and Chen Liren had a lot of things to do, so he left in the car. When Jia Yapeng was about to book two rooms for himself and Zhu Qiushui, Zhu Qiushui suddenly waved her hand and said, "You don't have to book a room for me. I have a house in the capital!"
"Nonsense, I have a thousand houses in the capital! But don't I have to stay in a hotel? "Jia Yapeng shouted.
"You forgot that I'm from the capital!" Zhu Qiushui rolled her eyes and said, "This is my real home."
Only then did Jia Yapeng recall that the first time he met Zhu Qiushui was in the Imperial Capital. She was indeed from the Imperial Capital.
"Right, do you want to go to my house?" Zhu Qiushui suddenly asked.
"Is that appropriate?" Jia Yapeng was stunned for a moment.
"What's not appropriate? My house is big. It's fine even if you live in it!" Zhu Qiushui said with a smile. Jia Yapeng couldn't say anything. He called for another taxi and headed in the direction of Zhu Qiushui's house with his luggage.
"Wow, the location of your house is pretty awesome!" Jia Yapeng had a thousand houses in the Asian Games Village and thought that he was awesome. However, when he stood in front of Zhu Qiushui's house, he realized that Zhu Qiushui's house was more awesome.
It was because Zhu Qiushui's house was in an alley, and it was in Yang Guan Alley, which was the core area of the capital's Second Ring Road.
This location was also awesome. On the left of Yang Guan Alley was the South Pavilion Park, on the right was the Oil Building, and on the street was the Russian Embassy. Jia Yapeng suddenly understood why Zhu Qiushui had so much fate with Russia.
Speaking of which, the Russian Embassy is the only Embassy in Beijing's 2nd Ring Road. The most powerful Embassy in the world, the United States Embassy, is outside the 3rd Ring Road. That's why our relationship with Big Brother is unique!
What was even more amazing was that Zhu Qiushui's house was actually a standalone house. In this imperial city where every inch of land was worth an inch of gold, Zhu Qiushui enjoyed a courtyard house alone. Moreover, it was a courtyard house with four entrances and four exits. In all of Beijing, apart from the various princes' residences and those under the direct control of the government, you wouldn't be able to find a single one like this.
Outside the courtyard house was a vermilion door. It was obvious that it had been through countless years of wind and rain. It was mottled with the passage of time. And at the entrance of the courtyard house, there was a simple and ancient plaque with the words "Zhu Manor" written on it. It gave off a mighty and imposing aura.
The entire courtyard house was guarded by iron generals. It was obvious that no one had lived in it for a while. This courtyard house should be Zhu Qiushui's alone house. That was awesome.
After the liberation, apart from those requisitioned by the government, all the other courtyard houses were basically mixed in with the residents. Zhu Qiushui's family was actually able to enjoy a courtyard house alone. His identity and status were thought-provoking!
"I say, Zhu Qiushui, what does your family do? Are you also a second-generation X?" Since he didn't know, Jia Yapeng didn't hide the curiosity in his heart and asked directly.
"My father was an official, and a diplomat at that. However, he only became an official after the liberation and never entered the file. He's not considered a second generation!" Zhu Qiushui shook his head and said, "Moreover, real second generations don't live in alleys. They usually live in courtyards!"
"Alright, I'm not interested in that. I'm just curious. What's your family's background? Is it convenient for you to tell me? " Jia Yapeng looked at Zhu Qiushui with bright eyes. If Zhu Qiushui answered that it was not convenient, then Jia Yapeng would probably pester her until Zhu Qiushui said that it was convenient.
"Look carefully at the plaque and you'll know!" Zhu Qiushui said angrily. Then she opened the door that had been sealed for a long time and walked into the big courtyard of her house.
On the other hand, Jia Yapeng curiously circled the plaque for a long time with bright eyes. Only then did he realize that the words on the plaque seemed to have been changed later. There was originally another line of words on the plaque.
Although this line of words was changed, the original trace was still there. Jia Yapeng looked at it for more than ten minutes and almost broke his eyes. Only then did he vaguely recognize that the original plaque should have had four words, which were the words "Yanen Marquis Mansion".
"Yanen Marquis Mansion? It seems that it should be a Marquis of the Qing Dynasty. It turns out that Zhu Qiushui's ancestor was a noble of the Qing Dynasty. It's normal to leave such a small courtyard house! "Jia Yapeng nodded and understood Zhu Qiushui's background.
"Yanen Marquis, this name has some flavor!" Jia Yapeng pondered over the name Yanen Marquis again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. At this time, an old man passed by. Jia Yapeng quickly asked, "Old man, do you know which family this Yanen Marquis belongs to?"
"Yes, he's a descendant of Zhu Ming, a Marquis of the Qing Dynasty!" The old man smiled, showing two broken teeth, and answered slowly.
"A descendant of Zhu Ming? A Marquis of the Qing Dynasty? This is a bit messy! " Jia Yapeng was stunned. The old man on the side was interested and explained, "Young man, I know that you don't like to read history. Let me tell you, the ancestor of Yanen Marquis is said to be a descendant of the 13th son of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. Later, wasn't the Ming Dynasty destroyed by the Qing Dynasty? But the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was merciful. He gave the descendant of his 13th son, Zhu Zhilian, the title of Yanen Marquis. Every year, he went to the 13 tombs to offer sacrifices twice, which kept the Zhu Ming's incense burning! "
This old man seemed to be a descendant of the Eight Banners. He kept talking about the Qing Dynasty, which made Jia Yapeng's head hurt. Although Jia Yapeng still wanted to talk more about the story and glory of the Qing Dynasty, after knowing the origin of the Zhu Family, he didn't want to talk more. He casually said a few words and went into the courtyard of the Zhu Family. He saw Zhu Qiushui standing in the middle of the hall with her hands on her waist and looking at him angrily.
At this moment, Zhu Qiushui's angry look was really like a princess of the Ming Dynasty.
"So your ancestor was the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you are a princess of the Ming Dynasty!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.
"Bastard, have you seen a princess of the Ming Dynasty being a secretary for others?" Zhu Qiushui rolled her eyes at Jia Yapeng and said, "Don't listen to the nonsense of those old and young people in the alley. Our family has nothing to do with the people in the Yanen Marquis' family. I am not a descendant of their family, and I have nothing to do with them!"
"But your surname is Zhu!" Jia Yapeng was stunned for a moment and then said.
"Does the surname Zhu have to be the descendant of Zhu Zhilian, that spineless bastard? Isn't Zhu Xi also surnamed Zhu?" Zhu Qiushui said angrily.
"So you are the descendant of Zhu Xi?"
"No, I am the descendant of Zhu Xi!" Zhu Qiushui kicked a door open and then said angrily, "My dear boss, have you asked enough?"
"Enough!" Jia Yapeng decisively closed his mouth.
