This is the old residence of the Xie Family. Although it's not as expansive as the neighboring Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, it is arranged in a classical and elegant manner, serene and refined.
In the courtyard, there stands a tall magnolia tree, with only two or three servants cleaning, looking rather leisurely.
Gu Lan raised her head and looked at the "Danbo Jingcheng" plaque with four bold and energetic characters hanging at the back of the central hall, slightly taken aback.
Beside her, Geng Tao said, "Young Master, this plaque was personally bestowed by the Emperor. It is said that when the Emperor was still the Crown Prince in the Eastern Palace, he happened to preside over his teacher's spring examination that year and admired him greatly. Later, when the Xie Family was cleared of all charges, the Crown Prince gifted this plaque to his teacher."
"I see."
