Chapter 560 Return to the Marquis Mansion
In the capital, the east is rich, the west is noble, the south is humble, and the north is poor!
Xicheng District is a place where noble people gather in the capital. It is the center and prosperous area of Gyeonggi. Gonghou Street in Xicheng is also a well-known noble district in Xicheng.
A man and a horse walked into Gonghou Street in the distance. Although this man's clothes were clean, compared with the elegant and elegant people around him, he couldn't help but feel a little unkempt. Compared with the expensive people, The bustling Gonghou Street seems a bit out of place.
One man and one horse, which made the nobles in the past look down at him and feel that this guy has lowered the overall grade of Gonghou Street!
Is this a poor relative from whose hometown?
When a young lady in the sedan passed by, she even covered her nose with an embroidered handkerchief, and rolled her eyes at a simple and unkempt young man outside the window.
“Hey, Cui’er asked them to slow down, slow down, I see that person is going to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.”
The girl in the sedan glanced at the man and the horse from the corner of his eye. Running towards the gate of Linhuai Hou Mansion, he couldn't help but stretched out his little hand from the curtain of the sedan with great interest and called out to the accompanying maid Cui'er.
This is an elegant and luxurious sedan chair, exquisite and elegant. It is made of crimson satin as a curtain, decorated with necklaces and tassels, and has a strong boudoir feel. He was accompanied by two maids, two old women, and two young men carrying the sedan chair.
"It's true, miss. I turned out to be a poor relative of Miss Li's family. You two, please slow down." Cui'er, the accompanying maid, also saw it. Following her lady's instructions, she asked the two servants carrying the sedan to slow down.
As a result, the sedan slowed down, then turned around and headed slowly towards the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.
The eldest lady in the sedan opened a corner of the sedan window and watched from a distance as the man entered the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. The concierge of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion seemed to recognize the poor relative from the countryside and took the initiative to help him. Led the horse in. Seeing this, the eldest lady in the sedan couldn't help but smile.
“Last time I went to the Tea Poetry Party at the Lingbi Marquis Mansion, the third sister from the Linhuai Marquis Mansion laughed at the poor relatives of Sister Tang’s family. She also said that their Li family was a wealthy and distinguished family, and that their family had My relatives are all successful and famous. There are no poor relatives. Haha...I wonder what the third sister of Linhuaihou Mansion will say this time.” Words.”
The eldest lady in the sedan lowered the curtains and whispered instructions to the outside. She couldn't help but share the news with the fifth lady of Lingbihou Mansion. It was very interesting to think about it.
When the sedan turned around and turned towards the Lingbi Marquis Mansion, Zhu Pingan had already entered the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. It had been a month since Zhu Pingan had lived in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion last time. There were only a few male masters in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, and Zhu Pingan was the top scholar in the new department, so it was difficult for the concierge to remember them. Although Zhu Pingan was so busy, the concierge still recognized him at a glance. He opened the door from a distance and welcomed Zhu Pingan in. He picked up the horse before Zhu Pingan and saluted him. Another concierge diligently took the horse from Zhu Pingan. He took it in his hand and took it to the stable to feed him. There was also a porter who went to the second gate to tell the fifth uncle that he was back.
"Uncle, you must be exhausted from the journey. I will send you a bucket of hot water to your room."
The concierge said with a wink, even the title The original Zhu Gongzi was changed to the uncle. The news about Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu's marriage in Xiahe Village was also known in the mansion. Their concierge was the most knowledgeable person in the mansion, so naturally he knew about it early.
"Then it's hard work." Zhu Ping'an was not polite, and casually took two silver beans and gave them to the concierge. He had been so tired all the way, and he really needed a bath.
"Thank you, uncle, for the reward." The concierge was overjoyed. These two silver beans were enough for the concierge to enjoy the wine and dishes for several days.
"Uncle, during the time you returned to your hometown, your two friends came to see you twice and asked you to come back to them... A master from the government also came once and left when he saw that you were not there. "...Your dark horse is twice as fat as when you left..."
The concierge is also a talkative, especially after receiving the reward of two silver beans. The matter started to be talked about without logic.
Zhu Pingan listened with interest, occasionally responded, and took a shortcut led by the concierge, walked through the garden along the path, turned a corner and arrived at the location of the guest room, and then left Not far away, we arrived at the small guest room courtyard where Zhu Ping'an stayed last time.
“Thank you.” After entering the courtyard, Zhu Pingan thanked the concierge who helped carry the luggage.
"Why are you so polite to us?" the concierge said.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps and girls' voices outside the courtyard door. Soon several girls entered the courtyard. The leader was a woman in her twenties, wearing light blue clothes. Bi Jia wore a waist-cinching pink skirt with a light purple gauze belt tied around her waist. Her face was lightly powdered, and she was dressed neatly. There were several little maids following behind her.
This person Zhu Pingan has met several times. She is Zijuan, the maid next to the old lady. She was the one who greeted him and Li Shu outside the door when they first came to the Hou Mansion.
Zicuckoo entered the yard, walked over in a few steps and bowed, stood up and said with a smile, "My uncle is back. The old lady has been thinking about you and Miss Fifth recently. I still regret that I didn’t attend your wedding. I have eaten less than half a bowl of food for several days. What a coincidence. Just now, the old lady was talking about you and the fifth lady, and then my uncle came back. "
As expected of the old lady. The big girl is really good at talking. No one can fault her words or deeds.
"I am worried about you, Mrs. Lei, but you are safe." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and replied with his hands in hand.
"Gee... I'm still calling you Madam. It's time for me to change my name to Grandma." Zicuckoo smiled and reminded her.
"Oh, yes." Zhu Ping'an nodded seriously when he heard this, and then thanked Zijuan, "Thank you for reminding me."
"What kind of girl do you think I am? My uncle's name is Just me Zicuckoo." Zicuckoo smiled and shook her head, and then said, "Uncle, you are now the master of the house. You can no longer stay in this guest room. The old lady has already arranged it for you and Miss Fifth. The yard is for use. My things have been prepared for you, and we are waiting for you and Miss Fifth to move in. You must be tired from traveling all the way, so my maid will take you to the yard to take a rest later. If there is anything missing or something is inappropriate, just tell the maid. "
Said Zijuan, she turned around and said sternly to the girls behind her, "Go and help my uncle pack things."< br>
Soon, several girls came over to take the gifts brought by Zhu Pingan and tidy up the things in the room.
Uh
I was going to say hello to the old lady, then say goodbye and move outside... Zhu Pingan looked at the girls who were busy for a while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Well, let’s talk about it later when I go to say hello to the old lady. (End of this chapter)
