Chapter Fifty-Six: A Place to Shelter
About an hour later, the civil and military officials finally finished the banquet in great excitement. After sending the emperor and the emperor to leave in the dragon chariot, the people who knelt on the ground also stood up one after another, burping with satisfaction, and continued to walk the mountains with the help of alcohol, and walked slowly towards the outside of the palace together. For them, although they have to work together every day, there are not many opportunities to be able to spend time with each other freely like this. Therefore, there is a sense of unfinished business.
Since Shan Zhuokun has just arrived in Chang'an, he has not yet decided on a place to live. The hospitable Wei Chi Baolin took the initiative to ask Ying in front of the emperor and asked him to come to his house for a while. After the construction of Si Cheng's mansion is completed in the future, it will be relocated.
In the General's Mansion, a touch of cold moonlight fell on the ground, and the surroundings were extremely quiet, except for the occasional popping sound of snowflakes falling on the ground with the wind.
Under the guidance of Yu Chi Baolin, the slightly drunk Shan Zhuokun staggered forward. At this time, his cheeks were slightly red, his mind was dizzy, and even his legs were trembling.
"General Wei Chi, you live here, where does the Duke of Eguo live, is it far from here?" Shan Zhuokun said without words.
Yu Chi Baolin smiled drunkenly and waved his hand to the side indiscriminately, and said in a loud voice: "My father's house is next to it, and it can be reached by walking for a while." ”
Shan Zhuokun heard him say this, and suddenly remembered that when he just came by car, he had indeed seen a tall mansion on the side of the street, and he was still suspicious at that time, he didn't know which yard was so magnificent, and now it seems that it should be the house of the Duke of Eguo.
"You people here are really rich, how many of us have saved up for most of their lives to buy a one-bedroom apartment, how can you live in such a luxurious yard as you do." Shan Zhuokun sighed.
He is right, in the 21st century, as people's demand for houses increases, the home buying market has become more and more demanding. How many people can't afford to buy a house in their lifetime. And it is precisely because of this that there are so-called 'low-rent housing', 'public rental housing' and other welfare benefits.
"One room?" Yu Chi Baolin blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously.
Shan Zhuokun quickly sorted out his thoughts, yes, after all, this was more than a thousand years ago, and it was inevitable that Yu Chi Baolin would not understand this sentence.
"One bedroom and one hall, that is, only one room and one hall. If it were placed here for you, it would be the size of a canteen. Shan Zhuokun explained.
The reason why he said this was not to mean to belittle modern people. Rather, it is because the area of houses in the Tang Dynasty is so large that it is far away, it is a vacant land with a courtyard on the first floor, and some can even be used as football fields.
When Yu Chi Baolin heard him say this, his eyes immediately widened. I really didn't expect that there were still people living in such a small place in this world, and listening to what Shangxian meant just now, it was not just one person, but one family.
If that's the case, I won't have to suffocate to death.
Shan Zhuokun saw Yu Chi Baolin glaring at him in surprise, grabbed him with a smile, and said jokingly: "Let's go, don't pestle here, it looks rare and weird." ”
Yu Chi Baolin smiled, and while continuing to pull around, he followed Shan Zhuokun forward.
After passing through several courtyards in a row, the two came to the door of a relatively secluded house. Stopping, Yu Chi Baolin turned to Shan Zhuokun and said with a wicked smile:
"Shangxian, I know that you usually have to practice, so I deliberately chose a relatively quiet place for you to live. But the number of other food and clothing, and the number of maids and servants are all the same as mine, do you think? ”
Shan Zhuokun secretly cursed the stinky fox in his heart, it stands to reason that after this period of getting along, Yu Chi Baolin should know his character well, knowing that he is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is the most afraid of loneliness. Now to make such an arrangement, not intentionally, and what?
However, thinking about it in his heart, Shan Zhuokun was extremely calm on the surface, and nodded with a smile: "General Wei Chi has a heart, this arrangement is really good." ”
Yu Chi Baolin smiled, turned around and grabbed the buckle on the door panel and slapped the door heavily. After a short effort, he heard a rush of footsteps from inside. Under the watchful eyes of the two, the door was pushed open from the inside.
Shan Zhuokun looked inside curiously, and saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, and more than 30 little maids wearing black caps, khaki shirts, black pants, and black ribbons tied around their waists stood opposite each other with 30 maids wearing apricot-red bandeau skirts and braided hair, all with their heads slightly bowed, looking like they were looking low.
"Major General, are you back?" The leader was a middle-aged housekeeper in his forties and fifties, and when he saw Yu Chi Baolin, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile on his face, "After receiving your order, the villain didn't dare to delay for a moment, and ordered someone to clean this courtyard inside and out." These sixty maids and servants were specially allocated to Master Shan. ”
After speaking, he moved his eyes to Shan Zhuokun, and looked up and down with a smile, looking flattering.
Shan Zhuokun heard the housekeeper say the words 'Master Shan', and an inexplicable sense of freshness suddenly arose in his heart. I used to hear such a title in those TV series in ancient costumes, but I always felt too far away and never thought of myself. Unexpectedly, God's will made people, and today he has become Lord Rausch so inexplicably.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but straighten his chest and deliberately put on a calm and relaxed appearance.
Yu Chi Baolin glanced sideways at Shan Zhuokun, and said to everyone in the courtyard with a straight face: "Master Shan is a friend of General Ben, and you must serve carefully in the future." If you slacken, I know that I have skinned you. ”
When everyone in the courtyard heard this, they all showed a look of jealousy, and they should have said in unison.
"Butler, I don't know who you arranged to be Lord Shan's personal maid?" Yu Chi Baolin glanced at everyone first, and then said to the butler.
The housekeeper hurriedly turned around and called the names of 'Chunxue' and 'Xiahe' to the crowd. I saw that the maids standing in front of the two on the right hand answered and walked over quickly. After coming to the front of Yu Chi Baolin and Shan Zhuokun, he bowed down:
"Slave maid to the young general and Master Shan, please be safe."
The housekeeper said with a smile: "Master Shan doesn't know, these two maids were originally on errand in the young general's room, and this time because you came, the young general specially transferred the two of them to serve you." ”
Shan Zhuokun's heart suddenly warmed, and he turned his head sideways and said to Yu Chi Baolin: "Since these two girls served Brother Baolin before, how can I win the love of others?" ”
Yu Chi Baolin smiled and patted Shan Zhuokun on the shoulder: "Oh, Shangxian, since the two of us are brothers, then don't ask you about me again." It's almost a commotion tonight, and I think you should be sleepy too, so why don't you wait until tomorrow morning when you go to the court. ”
When Shan Zhuokun heard him say this, a picture that he had seen in a TV series before suddenly appeared in his mind. It is said that this is equivalent to clocking in and out of office in modern times, and it seems to be stricter than that.
"Going to court? I? Shan Zhuokun hurriedly said, "General Wei Chi, you know, I have to sleep until almost noon every day before I get up, otherwise I will be groggy all day." I'll forget about this matter of going to court. ”
"Nope." Yu Chi Baolin bluntly refused.
His voice was not high, but it still shattered the fantasy in Shan Zhuokun's heart.
"Alright, go to sleep, I'll call you tomorrow morning." Yu Chi Baolin urged with a smile.
Then, without waiting for Shan Zhuokun to speak, he left accompanied by the housekeeper, and his figure disappeared into the night.
Shan Zhuokun looked at the direction of Yu Chi Baolin's departure fixedly, and a strong sadness suddenly arose in his heart.
It seems that from now on, he must work hard to adapt to the life of the ancients. Because only in this way can we live a better life.
As for the Lord Wei Zheng who repeatedly gave himself eye medicine at the banquet tonight, let's also ride a donkey and read the record book and look at me. One day, I will let you know how powerful my brother is.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Shan Zhuokun's lips, and after asking the maid to close the door, he turned around and walked towards the bedroom.
