At the westernmost end of Suzaku Street, there are several magnificent mansions, and most of the mansions of the clan and princes are located here.

At the door of one of the most inconspicuous mansions on the outermost side, the words "King An's Mansion" were hung on the plaque, but the servants at the door were lazy and listless.

There are several relatives and nobles around the door, but there is a lot of traffic, people come and go, and the door at the door of King An's mansion is a stark contrast.

Two carriages came in a hurry, stopped at the gate of Prince Anguo's mansion, the curtain was lifted, and a simple young man with a black face came down from the car in front, and the curtain was lifted in the back, and two girls with simple clothes jumped down.

"This is my second brother's mansion?"

The honest young man asked timidly, and said to the two girls behind him in a slushful tone: "This is really big, but there are a few people, and there are not as many servants as the Sha Dagen family." ”

Several people are the sons and daughters of Lin Laogen's family who followed Su Lu to Beijing together, the young man is called Lin Gang, and the women are called Lin Lanxin and Lin Huizhi.

"Little Marquis, please, two young ladies, please."

The coachman who drove the car said a few words to the porter, and the porter immediately jumped up, since the princess went south to the army, the palace could finally see the people of the lord's family again.

"Open the door, open the middle door, and welcome the little marquis and the young lady into the house."

The housekeeper who heard the news said excitedly, this is a big deal, the relatives of the uncle's family are here, and the people in the palace who are too lazy to itch finally have work to do.

The people of the Mansion all came out, lined up in two teams, and welcomed the three brothers and sisters of Lin Gang.

Lin Gang was a little confused for a while, is the pomp and circumstance in the second brother's house so big?

My own family is also a big family in Shadui Village, and the yard is quite large, but there are not many slaves, compared with the second brother's family, it is far worse, far worse.

"Little Hou Ye, please, Xiao Hou Ye, do you want to eat first, or do you want to rest first, I will arrange it."

The butler was a kind old man, and carefully inquired about the arrangements between the two.

Lin Gang, who encountered such a battle for the first time, was a little stumped and didn't know how to answer.

Lin Huizhi next to him said: "We have traveled all the way, and we are a little tired, old man, can you arrange for us to take a bath?" ”

Lin Gang also grinned when he heard this: "Is there a bathhouse near our house?" I'll just go to the bathhouse to wash, it's best to be cheap, and I won't wash it if it's more than five wen. ”

The housekeeper was a little confused for a while, he knew the bathhouse, but what the hell is more than Wuwen, is there such a cheap price.

called a servant who was familiar with the place of Fengyue in Beijing, and the housekeeper asked, "What is the price of the bathhouse near the left side of the palace?" ”

The servant replied with a smile: "Butler, there are not many bathhouses near our house, only one in Cuihong Lane, the environment is poor and tight, take a bath for twenty wen, and there are no towels and soaps, so you have to buy them with your own money." ”

"Silk ......"

Lin Gang took a breath of cold air: "If you don't go, you can't go, then I'll still boil a pot of water at home to wash." ”

The housekeeper said in his heart that if you boil water to wash at home, I am afraid that it will cost twice as much silver as the bathhouse, but he can't say this, and it is difficult for people to live in the prince's mansion on weekdays.

The prince lived in the palace all day long, and when the princess returned to the house, the house was quite lively at that time, and there was an endless stream of people who came to ask for relatives, friends, officials, and all kinds of people.

But since the princess joined the army and went to the south, she hasn't been home for some days.

There is no master in the house, and the people who come to ask for help are naturally gone, and as a housekeeper, they feel a little panicked with their salaries, and the servants below are even more panicked, for fear that one day the palace will be removed and there will be no such a good place to work.

Lin Gang took a bath, changed into a silk robe, and the maid re-groomed his hair, and the whole person completely changed, except for the slightly dark skin, the whole person was completely a young man.

The three of them had lunch, and while they were doing nothing, the servants came to pass the news.

"Dazong Zheng Li Weiyuan is visiting."

Lin Gang suddenly became at a loss, and looked at his eldest sister Lin Huizhi with a nervous expression.

"Big sister, this big sect is a big official, what should we do?"

Lin Huizhi pursed her lips, thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "We can't make decisions on behalf of the second brother, just let the servants tell them that the second brother is not at home." ”

The housekeeper next to him bowed down and said: "Lord Zongzheng said that he came to see the little marquis, and the prince usually lives in the palace on weekdays, which everyone knows." ”

Lin Gang looked confused, Walter, come to me!

"I—I don't know him!"

The housekeeper said with a smile: "Don't worry, the little marquis, this is in our palace, and the big sect is visiting, it must be a good thing, there is an old slave, and it will definitely not embarrass the little marquis." ”

The housekeeper just received the silver from the big sect, and the housekeeper would never dare to accept other people's money in the past, but now this money, he received it comfortably, because the relatives said that the big sect is here to propose to the little marquis, and wants to marry the daughter of the marquis of Ningguo to the little marquis.

With a housekeeper in charge, Lin Gang saw the main side.

Li Weiyuan's complexion is much better now, and when he saw the little marquis Lin Gang, he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"Li Weiyuan has seen the little marquis, the little marquis came to Beijing, is it still comfortable to live?"

Lin Gang said very sincerely: "I just arrived home, our carriage came two days later than the second brother, I just took a bath, and I haven't stayed yet." ”

Dazong Zheng didn't know how to answer for a while, the children of the princes and princes on weekdays, that is not the same as human spirits, and the treatment of people and things is smooth and slippery, this little marquis is a little sincere.

"The little marquis has come from afar and hasn't rested yet, so I'll make a long story short."

"As far as I know, the little marquis has never been married, I don't know if he has an intentional crush?"

"Got it"

Lin Gang said honestly, he likes Cuihua in Shadui Village, but unfortunately his family was poor before, and Cuihua's father Zhang Butcher did not agree to this family business, and then the second brother was in charge, and his family was rich, and his mother and son looked down on Cuihua again.

What an annoyance.

The smile on Li Weiyuan's face almost froze on his face, this Nima doesn't play cards according to the routine at all, but he still asks hard.

"Have you ever been married?"

Lin Gang was even more annoyed when he heard this: "No, my father and mother don't agree." ”

Li Weiyuan's face that finally thawed was trembling again, Daddy and Mother, this is to say that the Hou Ye and Mrs., it seems that the upbringing of the Lin family is not very good.

"I have a marriage, I don't know if the little marquis is willing to hear it, the other party is the daughter of the Marquis of Ningguo, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is proficient in everything, she was raised by the old lady of the Marquis of Ningguo, and she is a good person."

Lin Gang frowned when he heard this, the old lady raised her by her side, that is, the daughter raised by her grandmother. Thinking of the appearance of those daughters raised by grandmothers in the village, Lin Gang was suddenly unhappy.

"I Lin Gang just don't marry, no one wants it, and I must never marry a woman brought up by my grandmother."

Li Weiyuan left the palace a little strangely, and by the way, the news that Lin Gang looked down on the concubine of the Marquis of Ning Guo also spread.

In front of Ning Guo's Mansion, the porter looked at the team in front of his house, and some servants who suddenly left, and hurriedly shouted.

"Brother, brother in Grandpa Anyuan's mansion, I'll be you in a while."

"Brother in the huge general's mansion, don't go, I will definitely not accept your money this time."
