Chapter 18 The Mansion of the Marquis of Anle
Mu Zi was very surprised in her heart, she knew that people who did not cultivate could not perceive the spiritual power, but the light emitted by the night pearl in her hand was visible to the naked eye, could it be that Ah Gui couldn't see it?
At this time, there were only Mu Zi and A Gui in the warehouse, and Mama Xu was from the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, so she automatically avoided suspicion and waited outside the door.
Mu Zi asked Ah Gui to invite Mama Xu in, and tentatively asked her about the color of the night pearl in front of her. Mama Xu didn't know the origin of this night pearl, she just thought that it was a gift that Mu Zi had chosen to give to the little lady for the 100-day banquet, so it was naturally a compliment.
But her praise in Mu Zi's ears is not enough to describe one-tenth of the night pearl, Mu Ziming, Xu Mama, like Ah Gui, can't see the brilliance of this night pearl.
Mu Zi looked at the layers of brocade boxes in the warehouse and thought about it, wondering if there were many similar treasures here that could not be discovered by ordinary people.
However, after turning around, I didn't find any other objects with spiritual powers. Mu Zi was slightly disappointed, in fact, she should have thought that this world lacked spiritual power, and there had never been a cultivator, so how could she be delusional?
It's just that over the years, cultivation has become an instinct of Mu Zi, even if she has been mentally prepared, she is still a little unacceptable.
Sensing Mu Zi's somewhat disappointed face, Ah Gui hurriedly said, "If the master thinks that these things are unsightly, why don't you go back to Anlehou's Mansion to find them?" There are countless treasures in the house, and you can always find a suitable one for the little lady! β
Mu Zi came back to her senses, "In the house? Then she looked around at the dowry piled up in front of her, "Is there still anything in the house?" Mu Zi was a little embarrassed, how rich her predecessor was!
Ah Gui glanced at Mu Zi strangely, "This is natural, when Mu Bo helped the master buy a dowry, the master said that only one hundred and sixty-eight lifts was enough, and later the emperor and the queen mother rewarded a lot of things, and finally the purchase from our Hou Mansion treasury was only about one hundred, and the one that moved over was less than one-tenth of the Hou Mansion treasury!" β
Mu Zi Khan! Anle Hou Mansion is really rich!
"Then let's go back and have a look!" Mu Zi walked out of the warehouse with the brocade box containing the night pearl in her own hand.
On the carriage back to Anlehou's Mansion, I listened to Agui carefully count the past grandeur of Anlehou's Mansion. An Le Hou has made outstanding military achievements in the past dynasties, and is in charge of one-third of the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom, which can be described as the military power in hand, high and powerful, and the treasures that ordinary people rarely see are countless in the Anle Hou Mansion.
After the death of the old marquis and Mu Zi's parents one after another, what was left to Mu Zi was the wealth of this mansion, and the military power was taken back by the emperor, but in a later war, it had to be delegated again, which was divided into two and given to the Marquis of Wu An and the British Duke.
More than ten years have passed, and the Anle Hou Mansion is as strict as before, but it has added a little loneliness.
Ah Gui helped Mu Zi jump out of the carriage, and saw a few people standing in front of the gate, and it seemed that they had been waiting for a while. The leader was a tall and thin old man, who was looking at Mu Zi with an excited face.
"Grandpa, why do you have this expression every time you come back! It's like we haven't seen each other in a long time. Ah Gui frowned, and said to the old man led by him with a disgusted expression.
"Presumptuous!" The old man was immediately glared at by the angry blowing beard, but he still respectfully stood in front of Mu Zi first, looked at Mu Zi carefully, and saw that her face was ruddy and full of energy, so he let go of his heart, bowed down and saluted, "The old slave greets the young lady!" β
"Mu Bo Duoli, please get up quickly!" Mu Zi hurriedly stepped forward and helped the person up with his own hands. After more than two months of bad compensation, Mu Zi knew that the person in charge of the Anle Hou Mansion for so many years was a deputy general who had followed the old Hou Ye's side, named Mu Lin, although he was a domestic slave in the Anle Hou Mansion in the past, but over the years, he followed the old Hou Ye from birth to death, and had made a lot of military exploits, that is, in the past, Mu Zi's father had to shout Uncle Mu when he saw him.
Thirty years ago, the old marquis took off his slavery for Mu Lin, and when the emperor was there, he was named the general of the fourth grade.
After the accident in the Anle Hou Mansion, he worked up and down, united with Wu Anhou and other military generals in the DPRK and China, and worked together to protect the Anle Hou Mansion. It can be said that Mu Zi was brought up by their family.
Seeing this old man now, Mu Zi sincerely admired.
"The old slave heard that the young lady was injured a few days ago, and he was very worried, but when he saw it today, he was finally relieved......" Mu Bo's eyes were red, and he choked up a little.
"Okay, grandpa, Miss has me by her side, and I promise to take care of you no worse than you! Let's go in first! Seeing her grandfather's tearful appearance, Ah Gui couldn't stand it.
Mu Bo's originally relieved face suddenly turned red with anger, and he pointed at Ah Gui and couldn't speak.
"Miss, let's go!" Ah Gui seemed to think that it was a matter of pride to be able to make her grandfather angry, and proudly raised her chin to help Mu Zi approach the gate of Anle Hou's Mansion.
Mu Zi is a little embarrassed, this painting style... It's not what she imagined!
Mu Zi hurriedly opened his mouth to soothe, "Uncle Mu, a little injury, it's all fine now, you don't have to worry." Let's go in and continue! β
The old man was comforted, and immediately smiled, and his ability to change his face was also a must.
Along the way, I met some gardeners and sprinkler slaves, all of whom were light and well-trained, and it was clear at a glance that they had been uniformly trained and that each of them was extraordinary. Seeing that Mu Zi was back, they happily stepped forward to say goodbye, and the joy in their eyes could not be hidden.
Seeing that An Lehou's Mansion was controlled by Mu Bo like an iron bucket, Mu Zi somewhat understood why his predecessor had been developed into a straightforward and naΓ―ve character.
Mu Zi talked to Mu Bo, knowing that Mu Zi came back to choose a gift for the 100-day banquet for the little lady of the Hou Mansion of Wu'an, Mu Bo nodded with some relief, "The eldest lady of the British Mansion is a good one, and she has been good friends with the young lady in the past, so this gift must be chosen carefully." After a few days, the young lady also gave birth to the little master, and the old slave gave the little master all the treasures at the bottom of the box..."
Mu Zi Khan, there are still a few days, I am afraid that it will not be possible in a few years. He doesn't know what the uncle of the Marquis of Wu'an is called now. Ah Gui didn't help at this time, standing behind and covering his mouth and smiling.
After having lunch together, the old man was not as energetic as before, so he went back to rest first, and sent the housekeeper in charge of the account to take Mu Zi and Ah Gui to the treasury of the Hou Mansion.
It is said to be a treasury, but in Mu Zi's opinion, it is not an exaggeration to call it a treasure pavilion.
The treasury of Anlehou's Mansion is an independent small courtyard, with a three-story attic inside, and there is nothing to see on the outside, but there is something on the inside. A dazzling array of shelves and treasure pavilions, on which the antique jade and calligraphy, painting and ink inkstones make people can't take their eyes off.
The tent manager's surname was Wang, and he took Mu Zi into the attic and said, "Miss, these are all arranged and displayed by Mrs. in the past, and the things used for human exchanges are all placed in the east chamber." β
Mu Zi walked towards the east chamber under the guidance of the king's steward.
