The next afternoon, when the sunset was bright red, Mingjing and Changsheng finally came to the gate of the former county uncle's mansion, the chief envoy had already gone through the handover procedures with the government, the door was clean, and the county guard and the chief envoy were leading a group of people and horses to meet them at the gate.

The surrounding neighbors and those who watched the excitement were surrounded from afar, pointing and whispering from time to time, Mingjing remembered the last time the house was raided, the Xie Mansion that used to be like a cloud was suddenly copied, and the whole family was driven to the gate to sit in a prisoner car, and was very embarrassed and humiliated to escort into Beijing, and his heart was very emotional.

He turned over and stepped forward, and said to the county guard and the officials that he had worked hard to make friends, Changsheng sat in a sedan chair and went straight into the house, she did not bring the princess's honor guard, nor did she get off the sedan chair, and Mingjing did not introduce her identity, so although the local officials guessed her identity, no one dared to ask.

When they abandoned the boat and landed on the shore and hurried to Wugong County, the chief envoy sent people to wait on the way, saying that the county guard personally led people to greet them outside the gate, and also set up a reception banquet in the evening.

Mingjing was worried that she was tired, so he said that he would deal with it, Changsheng didn't need to get off the sedan chair, he was directly carried to Tingsong Courtyard to rest, and he didn't have to wait for him at night, so he had dinner early to rest.

After drinking hot tea and resting for a while, Changsheng was worried that he would not be able to see clearly when it was dark, so he hurriedly looked around to see how serious the damage was, especially Xinyi Courtyard and Jinshu Courtyard, and she didn't care much about other places.

The young envoy stayed with her, and said as he went, saying that the county guard and a group of officials had just accompanied them around the house, and told him that the damage was not serious when they searched the house last time, and that the higher authorities had ordered that they should be strictly guarded so as not to deface and lose things, so they sent several shifts of messengers to watch them in turn.

Later, after receiving the will to give the county uncle's mansion to Princess Dexiao, he also sent a useful official to hire someone to carefully arrange and maintain the flowers and trees in the Xie Mansion, and they did not dare to let outsiders enter the courtyard and house with the door locked, the seals were still intact, and the yard was already as clean as ever, and someone had been cleaning and cleaning up, just waiting for the princess's mansion to go through the handover procedures.

Changsheng looked everywhere, the young envoy was right, the entire Xie family's yard was as clean as ever, the carved beams and painted pavilions were the same as before, most of the flowers and trees were growing well, the cold-resistant plants were still lush, and a few of them were just right, not as messy and dilapidated as they imagined.

If it weren't for the silence of the doors and windows everywhere, the red lanterns under the porch were old and dirty because they had not been replaced for several years, and some of the window paper was torn and blown by the wind, it was exactly the same as before, as if raiding the house was just a nightmare.

The young envoy also said that they had checked everywhere, the ancestral hall and the ancestral hall were really in good condition, it should be that they did not let people in on the day of the raid, and directly locked the door and pasted a seal, Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, although she attached the most importance to the Xinyi Courtyard, Mingjing paid the most attention to the ancestral hall and the ancestral hall, he said that the descendants were not good, and they could not affect the ancestors.

The most intact is the Fuxi Hall, the main courtyard where the old uncle lives, and the Xinyi Courtyard where the old man lives, everything in it is as good as before, it should be the same as the ancestral hall at that time, the door was directly locked, he and the long envoy went in to see, everything inside is as good as ever, not even a piece of paper is missing.

Changsheng relaxed a little, she didn't check other places, and when Mingjing was free, she had to go to Xinyi Courtyard.

I think it was handed over just now, the gate of Xinyi Courtyard has been opened, and when I pushed the door open, the yard has been left unattended for a long time, weeds have grown in the flower beds and stone crevices, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated under the steps in front of the corridor, on the swing frame, and on the railing.

She didn't let anyone follow, and went into the room where her sister's old belongings were stored, and everything was the same in it, except that the dust had accumulated, and the wardrobe was opened to the top, and all the clothes were hung as they were, and on the lower floor were the embroidered shoes and suede winter boots she had worn in various colors, each pair of which were very exquisite.

The main hall, the bedroom, and the clear study are all the same, indeed as requested by the eldest grandson, there is not a single thread, not a piece of paper, the bouquet of red silk flowers is still there, still covered with silk cloth, there is no dust.

At this point, she really put her mind at ease. I took out the hard-preserved portrait from my bosom, hung it as it was, and smoothed it carefully, except for some folds, it was exactly the same as before, and I thought that the folds would disappear after hanging for a while, so as not to be suspicious of anything.

After all, she is an outsider, and when the officers and soldiers will break in at any time, she can still take care of hiding a portrait, and she has worked hard to keep it to this day, and she is a person who has little to do with her, which inevitably makes people suspicious.

She carefully looked at the portrait, and sighed again and again, fortunately, she did her best to protect Shu'er very well, she is already exactly the same as a normal child, and she is no longer controlled by others with the help of her mother, otherwise how can she be a sister?

Fang just exited and locked the door, saying that he would wait for the pony to come back and make plans, and then turned around and entered the Jinshu Temple.

The main room of Jinshu Courtyard may be because the layout is too gorgeous, it has been turned over very messy, the tables, chairs and ornaments have been overturned to the ground, the curtain has been torn off, the bedding has not been turned over, the drawers and cabinets are all opened, even the dark drawer at the head of the bed has been opened, and some valuable things such as gold and silver utensils have been taken away, but fortunately, most of them have been returned, except for some ornaments, the rest she left in the princess's mansion to keep, and then handed over to Shu'er in the future.

Shu'er's toy box was also knocked over to the ground, and the toys fell to the ground messily, covered with a thick layer of dust, she picked up the carriage and put it on the table, and picked up the little rabbit to pat off the dust and put it in the cart, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.

The west courtyard where she lived was also very messy, the curtains and bedding were torn to the floor, the drawers and cabinet doors were opened, the clothes were turned over and messy and fell to the ground, the private room and jewelry she had saved were stolen, and her sewing basket and a few books were still placed on the table, in which half of the embroidery work was placed, but it was covered with a layer of dust.

Aunt Tai's cross-courtyard is also the same, probably those officers and soldiers came in and felt that it was not a place where important people lived, and there would be nothing valuable, so they just rummaged around and took away a few pieces of jewelry.

I took a look at other places, and it was the same everywhere, except for the gold and silver ornaments, antique calligraphy and paintings and other valuable items that had to be copied, the entire Xie Mansion was not smashed and looted indiscriminately, and the large pieces of furniture were not copied like others, and most of the things were returned, and it was not difficult to restore them to their original state.

It's just that it's very messy everywhere, the flower racks, pestles and other things are knocked to the ground, and the curtain is also torn off, which looks like a mess, but in fact, the damage is not serious, I think it's to hide people's ears and eyes.

Mingjing said, all the things returned have been put into storage, anyway, the things in the warehouse are empty, the place is very big, and he will send someone to start tidying up after he sees it tomorrow.

After the things here were arranged, the two of them took the dowry of the old lady and Lin Xinhui back to the Grange, handed it to them together with the booklet, and then took the opportunity to bring up the matter of the aunt, which could be regarded as the end of a matter.

Although Changsheng didn't want to see Ming and Qing, he knew that he had to see him this time, because a few days ago, Mo'er sent a letter back, saying that he had met Xie Chengzhong a little frequently recently, and he heard that there seemed to be a quarrel once.

Changsheng guessed that Xie Chengzhong's money had been almost spent, and he was no longer as generous to Ming and Qing as before, and Ming Qing was unwilling, so he quarreled, maybe she and Ming Jing could find some clues when they went back.

Thinking that he was cultivating Ziyu in the Jinyi Jade Food of the Xie Mansion Courtyard, Changsheng pursed his lips and smiled, if Lin Xinhui's dowry was sent back, and Cheng Ziyu was also sent back, what would happen that people were looking forward to?

Ju Xiang was worried that she was tired, so she persuaded her to rest, and look at it tomorrow, I heard that the pine courtyard and the kitchen had been cleaned up, and three meals and hot water could be supplied at any time, and she had already started cooking yesterday, and she had already arranged dinner today. The room and the back room where the mother-in-law and the servants were in have also been cleaned up, and they have been in it last night.

Changsheng was relieved of Ju Xiang's ability, and immediately nodded again and again, feeling a little tired, and he didn't have any interest in other places, so it was better to leave it to Mingjing to watch it slowly, and then go back to Tingsong Courtyard to rest.

I heard that Songyuan heard that there are also some other places, gold and silver artifacts, antique calligraphy and paintings, and some rare books have all been copied, and there is a mess everywhere, but the large pieces of furniture are in good condition, and Juxiang has taken people to clean up.

The sweep was very clean, the weeds in the stone crevices were also pulled out, the dust under the porch and the railing was also wiped clean, the silk quilt brocade mattress brought from the princess's house, the re-embroidered curtain to welcome the pillow, and the ornaments and utensils were all put in place, and the couch was covered with a new brocade cushion, which was rich and comfortable.

There is also a pink porcelain plum bottle on the table with a few fragrant red plums, the charcoal basin is smoked warmly, and the golden beast is burned with the incense given by Princess Ji to calm the heart, which is very comfortable and pleasant.

There is no warm kang in Tingsong Courtyard, there is a copper oven with a special drying bed, which is low and flat, and it is loaded with a kind of charcoal that is not burning vigorously and does not flame anymore, and it is covered with a cover, and there is a copper cover with four legs on it, and there is a distance of half a foot between the two, so that the heat does not directly bake to the bed, and there is no need to worry about fire.

In winter, it is placed under the bed, it is warm and comfortable, but it is not too hot and dry like the warm kang, and it is very comfortable to sleep. Changsheng took a hot bath, wrung his hair, had dinner, and lay comfortably in the warm and soft quilt, admiring the wisdom of the ancients very much.

Xu is too tired, her eyelids are fighting, thinking that Mingjing may be too late to come back tonight, so she doesn't have to wait for him.

When I woke up, the sky was getting brighter, and Mingjing was sleeping on the side, and there was a faint smell of wine in the house, but there was no Mingjing on his body, so I thought I was back to take a bath and change clothes.

She turned over gently, facing Mingjing, who had a handsome face, thinking about the bits and pieces of the acquaintance between the two, and couldn't help but chuckle, but woke up Mingjing, who had slept enough.

He opened his eyes and looked at Changsheng, who was dressed in a lilac middle coat and refreshed because of a good night's sleep, perhaps the room was as warm as spring, her eyes were as clear as water, her cheeks were pink, and her red lips were more and more attractive.

couldn't help but hug her in her arms, first covered her mouth with her lips, and then stretched out her hands: "Lady, it seems that you have grown up again, how did you feel on the boat the night before yesterday, why don't we try again, or how ......much Mama knows" (to be continued.) )
