In the capital, the rich in the east, the noble in the west, the cheap in the south, and the poor in the north!
The west city is the capital of the nobility gathered place, for the centre of the capital, the prosperous area, the west city of the Marquis Street is the west city of the far-famous nobility area.
In the distance, a man and a horse into the dusty Marquis Street, although the clothes are clean, but with the surrounding style, brocade clothes and jade people, compared to some of the feeling of untidy, with the noble and prosperous Marquis Street seems a bit out of place.
One person and one horse, caused a passing noble family a blank stare disdain, feeling that this goods pulled down the overall grade of the Marquis Street!
Who is this poor relative from his hometown?
When a certain young lady in the sedan chair passed by, she even covered her nose with an embroidered handkerchief and rolled her eyes at a certain unkempt and naive teenager outside the window.
“Ai, Cui’er tell them to slow down and slow down, I see that person is going to Marquis Linhuai’s mansion.”
The young girl in the sedan chair caught a glimpse of that one person and one horse running towards the gate of Marquis Linhuai’s mansion, and couldn’t help but be quite interested in reaching out from the sedan chair curtains with a small hand to call out to the accompanying maid, Cui’er.
This is an elegant and luxurious sedan chair, exquisite and exquisite, with scarlet satin for curtains, decorated with celluloid and tassels, with a strong taste of the boudoir. Accompanied by two maids of honour, two old mothers, and two litter bearers.
“It’s really Miss, so it’s a poor relative of Miss Li’s family. You two slow slow.”The accompanying maid, Cui’er, also saw it, and following her own young lady’s orders, she told the two courtiers carrying the sedan chair to slow down.
Thus, the sedan chair slowed down and then turned around again, slowly heading towards the direction of the Marquis Linhuai Mansion.
The lady in the sedan chair lifted a corner of the window of the sedan chair, and watched from afar as the one man and one horse entered the Linhuai Marquis’ residence, and the concierge of the Linhuai Marquis’ residence seemed to recognise the poor relatives in the countryside, and also took the initiative to help bring the horse in. Seeing this, the eldest lady in the sedan chair could not help but purse up a smile.
“Last time I went to Lingbi Marquis House tea poetry meeting, Linhuai Marquis House’s third sister laughed at the poor relatives of the soup sister’s family, and also said that their Li family hairpin family, luxurious family, said that their relatives in the house are all successful and famous, there is no such thing as a poor relative. Lol …… This time I will see what the third sister of the Linhuai Marquis House will still say.”
“Cui’er, turn around, I’m going to the Marquis of Linghuai’s residence to find Sister Tang to talk for a while.”
The eldest young lady in the sedan chair lowered the curtains and softly commanded towards the outside, she already couldn’t help but share this news with the fifth young lady of the Marquis of Lingbi, it was fun to think about.
While this sedan chair was turning around and turning towards Marquis Lingbi’s Mansion, Zhu Pingan had already entered Marquis Linhuai’s Mansion. Last time, Zhu Pingan had stayed in Linhuai Marquis Mansion for a month, Linhuai Marquis Mansion had fewer male masters, and Zhu Pingan was the new scholar, it was hard for the concierge not to remember. Although Zhu Pingan was very dusty, the concierge recognised him at once, and opened the door from afar to welcome Zhu Pingan in, and grabbed the salute in front of Zhu Pingan, another concierge took the horse from Zhu Pingan’s hand and led it to the stables to feed it well, and another concierge went to the second door to announce that the Fifth Aunt had come back.
“Master, you’ve had a tiring journey, I’ll send a bucket of hot water to your room.”
The concierge curried favourably, even changing his name from Zhu Gongzi to Auntie, the news of Zhu Pingan and Li Shu’s marriage in the lower river village was also known in the mansion, and their concierge was the most informed in the mansion, so naturally, he knew about it early on.
“Then, thank you.”Zhu Pingan was not polite, he casually took two silver beans and rewarded the concierge, he himself had travelled all the way in the dust and indeed needed a bath.
“Thank you for the reward.”The concierge was overjoyed, these two silver beans are enough for their concierge to eat a few days of good food and wine.
“Auntie, you go back home this period of time, your two friends came to find you twice, said let you come back to find them …… Officials in the government have a master also came once, see you not on the go …… your black horse than when you left are fatTwo circles have been ……”
The concierge is also a chatterbox, especially after getting two silver beans reward is more words, all the way to the house happened without logic to speak up.
Zhu Ping An listened with interest, occasionally answered two voices, by the concierge led the way to take a shortcut, through the garden along the entrenchment, turned a corner to where the guest room is located, and then walked not far to the last time Zhu Ping An stayed in that guest room small courtyard.
“Thank you.”Entering the courtyard, Zhu Pingan thanked the concierge who helped carry his luggage.
“What’s the point of being polite to us, Auntie.”The concierge even said that he did not dare.
At this time outside the courtyard door came a burst of footsteps and the sound of girls, soon there are several girls into the courtyard, the leader is a twenty-year-old woman, wearing light blue than armour, the lower face covered with waisted bottomed pink skirt, the waist tied with a light purple sash, melon face slightly powdered, the whole person cleaned up very cleanly, followed by a few small maids.
This person Zhu Pingan has seen several times, is the old lady side of the maid Zijuan, last time when he and Li Shu first came to the marquis house is her outside the door to meet.
Zijuan entered the courtyard, three or two steps over to the waist salute, get up after a smile, said, “Master can come back, the old lady has been missing you and the fifth miss it, the other day also for did not participate in your marriage regret it, for several days less rice are less eaten less than half a bowl. It’s really a coincidence that just now the old madam was still thinking about you and fifth young miss, and as a result, the aunt master came back.”
Worthy of being the old madam’s side of the big girl, really good at talking, talking and doing things anyone can not pick reason to go.
“Tiring old madam to miss, it’s Ping An’s fault.”Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, arching his hand back.
“Giggle …… still call old madam, auntie should change her name to grandmother.”Zijuan guffawed and reminded.
“Oh yes.”Zhu Pingan nodded seriously at the words, then thanked Zi Cuckoo, “Thanks for reminding me, girl.”
“What kind of girl does a servant girl count as, auntie just call me Zi Cuckoo.”Zi Cuan smiled and shook her head, then added, “Auntie, you are the master of the mansion, this guest room can no longer be lived in. The old madam has already arranged a good courtyard for you and fifth miss, and has long since prepared everything for you, just waiting for you and fifth miss to move in. I’m sure you’re tired from the journey, so I’ll take you to the courtyard to take a rest. If you want to see what’s missing, or what’s not suitable, just let me know. ”
Said Zi Cuckoo turned back to the several maids behind her and commanded with a straight face, “You guys go and help Master Aunt pack up the things.”
Soon, a few maids came over and packed up the gifts that Zhu Ping An had brought, as well as the things in the room.
Err.
I was preparing to give the old madam a goodbye and resign to move outside to live …… Zhu Pingan looked at the several maids who were busy for a while and couldn’t help but smile bitterly, never mind, let’s talk about it later when we go to give the old madam a goodbye.
