Golden Scale Path, Lin Mansion.
A magnificent estate spanning half a street sat here. The main entrance was exceptionally wide, its threshold deliberately sawed low. The two great doors were made of ironwood sheathed in a thick layer of brass, glinting brilliantly in the sunlight.
The doors were densely studded with fist-sized bronze nails that glinted with a cold, metallic light.
At the entrance squatted two man-high dragon turtle statues. On their backs, they carried Treasure Basins, symbolizing the carrying of wealth into the home and stability as firm as a mountain.
"We're here, Junior Su." Lin Wanzhu led Su Yu up the steps.
The guards at the entrance, greatswords hanging at their waists, immediately straightened their backs and greeted them in unison.
