In Shengjing City, there has always been a common saying:
"The north is noble, the south is wealthy; the east is for merchants, and the northwest is for craftsmen."
It refers to the nobles living in the north, while the south is mostly affluent marketplaces.
The east is mainly occupied by merchants, and the northwest is where craftsmen and common folk gather.
Therefore, the Dong Family, rooted through several generations in Shengjing City, has its mansion located in the southeastern marketplace area.
The streets and alleys divide the marketplace in an orderly manner.
Where the Dong Family resides, the area has a pleasant name, Dengwen Street.
The street is bustling with vendors and shop assistants calling out.
Though not tightly packed with people, it's still extremely lively.
The Dong Mansion is located at the entrance of Dengwen Street.
From the outside, the facade doesn't seem large.
If not observed closely, one might think it's just an ordinary residential courtyard.
