  Chapter 560 Returning to the Hou Mansion

  In the capital city, the east is rich, the west is rich, the south is cheap, and the north is poor!

  Xicheng District is a place where nobles gather in the capital. It is the center of Gyeonggi and a prosperous area.

In the distance, a person and a horse walked into Gonghou Street. Although the clothes of this person were considered clean, compared with the personable people around him who were dressed in brocade clothes and jade, he couldn't help feeling a little rough. It seemed a little out of place.

  One person and one horse, which caused a wave of distaste from the nobles in the past, and felt that this product has lowered the overall grade of Gonghou Street!

   Whose hometown is this a poor relative?

  When a young lady in the sedan chair passed by, she even covered her nose with an embroidered handkerchief, and rolled her big eyes at a rough and honest boy outside the window.

   "Hey, Tweety told them to slow down, I see that person is going to Linhuaihou Mansion."

  The girl in the sedan chair caught sight of the man running towards the gate of the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion one by one from the corner of her eyes, and couldn't help but stretch out her small hand from the curtain of the sedan chair to stop the accompanying maid Tweet.

   This is an elegant and luxurious female sedan chair, exquisite and exquisite, with scarlet silk as curtains, decorated with wreaths and tassels, which has a strong boudoir flavor. Accompanied by two maids, two old maids, and two young men carrying sedan chairs.

   "It's really Miss, it turns out that they are poor relatives of Miss Li's family. Slow down, you two." The accompanying maid Tweet also saw it, and following her lady's order, she asked the two servants carrying the sedan chair to slow down.

  So, the sedan chair slowed down, then turned around again, and slowly headed towards the Linhuaihou Mansion.

  The eldest lady in the sedan chair opened a corner of the sedan window and watched from a distance as the man entered Linhuaihou's mansion one by one. The concierge of Linhuaihou's mansion seemed to recognize the poor relative in the country, and offered to help lead the horse in. Seeing this, the eldest lady in the sedan chair couldn't help but smile.

"The last time I went to the tea poetry meeting in the Marquis of Lingbi, the three sisters in the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion laughed at the poor relatives of Sister Tang's family. There are no poor relatives. Hehe... This time I see what the third sister of Linhuaihou Mansion will say."

   "Tweety, turn around, I'm going to Lingbihou Mansion to talk to Sister Tang."

  The eldest lady in the sedan chair lowered the curtains and gave a soft order to the outside. She couldn't help but share this news with the fifth lady of Lingbihou's mansion. It's very interesting to think about it.

  By the time the sedan chair turned around and turned towards Lingbihou's Mansion, Zhu Ping'an had already entered Linhuaihou's Mansion. The last time Zhu Ping lived in the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion for a month, there were few male masters in the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion, and Zhu Ping'an was the number one scholar in the new department, so it was difficult for the concierge to forget. Although Zhu Ping'an is busy, but the doorman recognized him at a glance, and opened the doorman Zhu Ping'an from a distance to welcome him in. He picked it up in front of Zhu Ping'an and saluted. He took it from his hand and took it to the stable to feed him well. There was also a porter who went to the second gate to announce that the fifth uncle was back.

   "Grandpa, you are exhausted from the journey, I will bring a bucket of hot water to your room."

The concierge said winkingly, and even changed his name from Mr. Zhu to Uncle Zhu. The news that Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu got married in Xiahe Village was known to everyone in the mansion. Their concierge was the most transparent in the mansion. Naturally, I knew it early.

   "Then it's time to work." Zhu Ping'an was not polite, and took two silver beans as rewards to the concierge. He had been busy all the way, and he really needed to take a bath.

   "Thank you, aunt, for the reward." The concierge was overjoyed, these two silver beans were enough for the concierge to eat wine and snacks for several days.

"Grandfather, during the time you returned to your hometown, your two friends came to you twice and told you to come back to find them... A master in the government also came once, and left when you were not here... Your black horse is better than you. I lost weight twice when I left..."

  The concierge was also a chatterbox, especially after receiving the reward of two silver beans, he talked a lot about what happened in the mansion along the way.

Zhu Ping'an listened with great interest, and occasionally responded twice. The concierge led the way and took a shortcut, walked through the garden, followed the narrow path, turned a corner, and arrived at the guest room. This is the small courtyard of the guest room where Zhu Pingan lives.

   "I'm sorry." Entering the courtyard, Zhu Ping'an thanked the concierge who helped carry the luggage.

   "My lord, why are you being polite to us?" The porter didn't even dare to say.

At this moment, footsteps and girls' voices came from outside the courtyard door, and soon several girls entered the courtyard, the leader was a woman in her twenties, wearing a light blue bijar with a veil underneath. She wore a powder skirt with her waist backed up, a light purple gauze belt tied around her waist, her melon-seeded face was slightly powdered, and she tidied up very neatly, followed by a few little maids.

   Zhu Pingan has met this person several times. It is Zijuan, the maid beside the old lady. She was the one who greeted him and Li Shu outside the door when he and Li Shu first came to the Hou Mansion.

After Zicuckoo entered the yard, she walked over in two or three steps and bowed her waist. After getting up, she said with a smile, "My uncle is back. The old lady has been thinking about you and Miss Wu recently. I didn't attend your meeting a few days ago. It's a pity about my marriage, I missed half a bowl of rice for several days. What a coincidence, just now the old lady was still talking about you and Miss Fifth, but my uncle came back."

   She deserves to be the big girl next to the old lady, she can really talk, and no one can pick her way out of what she says and does.

   "The tired old lady is worried, it's safe." Zhu Pingan smiled slightly, and clasped his hands back.

   "Giggle...you're still called old lady, uncle should call you grandma." Zijuan reminded with a smile.

   "Oh, yes." Zhu Pingan nodded seriously when he heard the words, and then thanked Zijuan, "Thank you for reminding me, girl."

"What kind of girl is the servant girl? My aunt can just call me Zijuan." Zijuan shook her head with a smile, and then said, "My lord, you are the master of the house now, and you can no longer live in this guest room. Old madam The yard has been arranged for you and Miss Fifth long ago. The things you need and live in have already been prepared for you, and they are waiting for you and Miss Fifth to move in. My lord must be tired from the journey. Take my uncle to the yard to have a rest. Later, my uncle will go to the yard to see if there is anything missing, or if something is inappropriate, tell the servant girl."

   Speaking of which, Zijuan turned her head and told the girls behind her seriously, "Go and help my uncle clean up."

   Soon, a few girls came over to salute Zhu Ping'an and tidy up the things in the room.

Uh

I was going to say hello to the old lady, so I bid farewell and moved outside...Zhu Pingan looked at the girls who were busy for a while, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly. Forget it, let's talk later when I say hello to the old lady. .
