Chapter 235 Soon, Liu Pingzhong's carriage drove to the Hu Guogong Mansion.

"Such a big gate?" Liu Xiaoyi looked at the gate of the mansion of Duke Hu in surprise, there were two huge stone lions in front of the mansion gate, and the square in front of the mansion gate was also very large.

Soon, they entered the front yard through the side door.

At this moment, Wu Mei was already waiting with Qin Jiao and Qin Shandao.

After Liu Pingzhong and his wife and their two sons got out of the car, Wu Mei saluted them with a smile and said, "Concubine, Wu Mei has seen her uncle, her aunt, and her two cousins!" ”

"Qin Jiao has seen her uncle, she has seen her aunt!"

"Qin Shandao, the founder of Licheng, has seen my uncle, I have seen my uncle!" Qin Jiao and Qin Shandao also saluted and said to them.

The two of them hurriedly saluted, and at the same time, they also saluted solemnly again to Qin Shandao and said, "Xiaguan Fenyang Mansion Yin and his family have seen the county prince!" ”

"Well, no courtesy, you are all distinguished guests in the house, and the housekeeper will arrange your residence, my eldest brother is still busy with official business, what uncle can order the people in the house!" Qin Shandao said very old-fashioned at the moment.

And Liu Xiaoyi and Liu Xiaoliang looked at the seven or eight-year-old child in front of them in surprise, so young, he was a county prince, a lord of the second grade.

"This way, please!" The butler spoke to them.

Soon, the housekeeper led them to this side of the courtyard, which was very large.

"Such a big yard?" Liu Xiaoliang looked at this courtyard in amazement at the moment.

A courtyard on Qin Huaidao's mansion covers an area of more than 4 acres, and there are many side rooms!

"The young master has arranged five maids and five housekeepers for you, you can find them if you need anything, all your expenses in the house are from the house, what do you need, just ask, in addition, the little one will introduce you to you, please!"

When the steward led them into the courtyard, there were five servants and five maids standing on each side of the courtyard.

"Okay, I'm tired!" Liu Pingzhong nodded and spoke.

Then after the housekeeper asked his subordinates to move the things they were carrying, the housekeeper said to Liu Zhongping: "Second uncle, the young master is coming back soon, you may have dinner together later, and after you go to the front hall to have dinner, you can come back here to rest."

In the future, the entire Qin Mansion is the study of the young master in the front yard, and there are two courtyards in the backyard that you can't enter, one is Mrs. Wu's courtyard, and the other is the courtyard where the young master needs to put things, and these courtyards are guarded by family soldiers.

You can all go to other places, the young master's study is not allowed to enter without an order, not even the small ones! The butler confessed to them.

They nodded, knowing that this kind of wealthy compound was not something that could be walked around casually.

Soon, they arrived in the front yard, and Wu Mei was talking to them in the living room at the moment, waiting for Qin Huaidao to come back.

"Mrs. Wu, I'm tired!" Liu Pingzhong sat down and said to Wu Mei.

"But I don't deserve to be called that by the second uncle, now Hu Guogong has not married yet, and the concubine is just a concubine by Hu Guogong's side!" Wu Mei hurriedly got up and saluted him and said.

And when Liu Xiaoyi and Liu Xiaoliang heard it, they were even more shocked in their hearts, the woman in front of them was not a lady.

"Oh, I haven't married yet!" Liu Pingzhong said suddenly at this moment.

"Second uncle, if you marry, I will definitely inform you, but Your Majesty has decreed that on the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month this year, the lord and Princess Chengyang will marry, and the lord will marry Princess Chengyang and enter the Duke of Hu's mansion." Wu Mei smiled and said to them.

"Marry?" Liu Pingzhong looked at Wu Mei in shock.

This marrying a monk is two different things, he understands it, so he is very shocked, under normal circumstances, the princess can only marry yet.

"Yes, Your Majesty thought that the young master had made great contributions to the court, and specially agreed to marry the princess!" Wu Mei looked at them with a smile and said.

Liu Pingzhong was even more surprised, he didn't expect that his nephew would have such great ability and be able to marry a princess.

At this time, there was movement at the gate of the house.

"The young master has returned home!" At this time, a steward at the door shouted.

The maids all stood up, Liu Pingzhong and his wife also stood up, and walked quickly to the door of the hall, as did Liu Xiaoyi and Liu Xiaoliang.

Seeing them like this, Wu Mei also stood up and went to the door.

I saw a young man at the door, riding a tall jujube red horse, wearing a gorgeous white and purple patterned shirt, and got off the horse.

"Second uncle has arrived in Chang'an?" After Qin Huaidao got off the horse, he asked the housekeeper.

"Back to the young master, here, I have received it to the house, and now I am in the hall!" The housekeeper said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.

"Oh, I saw it, go!" Qin Huaidao looked over there and found a group of people standing over there, so he walked over there.

He was followed by a few housekeepers and maids, and the housekeeper followed.

"Young master, it's your second uncle in front!" Seeing that he was about to arrive in the living room, the housekeeper hurriedly introduced Qin Huaidao.

"I've seen my second uncle, I've seen my aunt!" Qin Huaidao walked over quickly and said to them.

"Dao'er! So old, when I last saw you, I was only four or five years old! Liu Pingzhong was very excited, seeing Qin Huaidao was equivalent to seeing his own sister!

"It's so good, it's so handsome!" My aunt stood there, touching her tears and said.

"Well, please inside, please inside, these two must be cousins, right? Cousin is here to greet you! Qin Huaidao saw Liu Xiaoyi and them, so he arched his hand and said.

"Don't dare to be, I've seen Hu Guogong!" The two of them immediately returned the salute.

"Don't call Hu Guogong in the house, they are all relatives, just call me Peping, my word Peping!" Qin Huaidao smiled at them and said.

"Well, Pepin, let my uncle see, let my uncle see!" Liu Pingzhong was very excited, and he pulled Qin Huaidao to look at it carefully.

"Well, uncle, I haven't been in contact for so many years, it's very rude, the house is only over this year, and I don't dare to move, in previous years, I was still young, and I didn't understand many things, I hope my uncle won't blame me." Qin Huaidao explained to Liu Pingzhong again.

"No blame, no blame!" Liu Pingzhong said to Qin Huaidao.

"Come, please, I guess we haven't eaten yet, let's eat together, the meal at home may be different from the outside, please!" Qin Huaidao said to them, and at the same time took Liu Pingzhong's hand, and walked inside, and they also followed.

When they arrived in the living room, Qin Huaidao invited them to sit down, he sat in the main seat, Liu Pingzhong sat in the second place next to him, and Wu Mei sat in Qin Huaidao's subordinate position.

"Uncle entered Beijing this time, I heard that he is here to report on his work, and after the report, what are your plans?" Qin Huaidao sat down, looked at Liu Pingzhong with a smile and asked.

"I don't plan yet, I have to pass the level of the Ministry of Officials, and I have passed the assessment of the Ministry of Officials, so I can think about the following things!" Liu Pingzhong said to Qin Huaidao.

"Is it okay to stay in Chang'an City? So I can take care of it. Qin Huaidao looked at Liu Pingzhong and asked.

"Of course it's good to stay in Chang'an, but I'm afraid it's not good to stay, right?" Liu Pingzhong looked at Qin Huaidao and asked.

"If you want to stay, I'll take care of this matter, two cousins, can you study now?" Qin Huaidao then asked.

"Yes, I also love to read, and when I heard that there will be an Enke next year, I want them to give it a try." Liu Pingzhong looked at Liu Xiaoyi and the two brothers with a smile, and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Well, then go to Taixue to study, before Enke starts the exam, go to Taixue!" Qin Huaidao nodded and said.

"This, I'm afraid it won't work, Taixue only recruits the children of officials above the fifth grade, and I'm still under the sixth grade, I'm afraid it won't work." Liu Zhongping immediately said to Qin Huaidao.

"It's okay, uncle, I also know some of the things you did in Fenyang, the wind evaluation is good, and the assessment of the officials over the years is also middle and upper, and they can be promoted. When the time comes, they will be promoted to the fifth grade, and the two cousins will be able to go to Taixue. Qin Huaidao said to Liu Pingzhong with a smile.

"This, the five grades are a big hurdle, but it's not easy to enter!" Liu Pingzhong looked at Qin Huaidao a little worriedly and said.

"Well, take a look!" Qin Huaidao nodded, and did not finish his words.

"Young master, the meals are ready!" A maid came over and said to Qin Huaidao.

"Okay, uncle, aunt, please!" Qin Huaidao heard it, stood up, and said to them.

Soon, they arrived at the dining room, they saw the round table in the dining room, and a large table of dishes, and they were a little surprised, Tang Dynasty didn't eat like this.

"Come, sit, I eat like this in my house, and now many nobles eat like this, please sit, whatever you like to eat!" Qin Huaidao smiled and beckoned them to sit down, and he sat down too, and a maid next to him immediately poured wine for Liu Pingzhong.

"This, is it liquor?" Liu Pingzhong saw the wine coming everywhere, looked at Qin Huaidao in surprise and asked.

"Well, liquor, come, two cousins too!" Qin Huaidao greeted with a smile and said.

At the dinner table, Qin Huaidao and them were eating and talking.

They have basically never seen the dishes on this table, and they are full of praise for the deliciousness of this dish.

After eating, Qin Huaidao led them to the living room, where a maid had already brought tea.

"This is a popular way to drink in Chang'an City recently, uncle try it!" Qin Huaidao picked up the teacup and said to Liu Pingzhong.

"Eh, I really can't keep up now, there are too many changes here in Chang'an City!" Liu Pingzhong said with a wry smile, and at the same time took a sip, and found that the taste was good, very fragrant and pure.

"Well, yes, yes, this is a good way to drink!" Liu Pingzhong took a sip, nodded and said.

"Hmm. Uncle, you have been living in the house for this time, and when the official position is down, you will buy another yard.

Don't worry now, it is estimated that this official position may take ten days and half a month, and my aunt is free, so I can go to Chang'an City to see the house! Qin Huaidao said to them with a smile.

It's not that they are kicked out, once they are ordained, they themselves will not live here, and they will definitely need a fixed residence.
