Chapter Seventy-Two: First Entry into the Lan Mansion

I was also stunned when he knelt down, what happened to this person, could it be that he recognized the wrong person. Looking at this person's age of forty years, he has a national character face with thick eyebrows, a ruddy face, a few beards under his chin, and a indigo poplin robe. I looked at the person kowtowing underground, and I didn't speak, because I can't guess what this person is doing now, if it is Lan Yunjie's family, it may be called Young Master, could it be that this Lan Yunjie is also from a big family, or an official family.

The man saw that I didn't speak, and while begging for mercy, he slapped his face with his hand, and when I saw this, I hurried over and grabbed his hand: "I don't blame you, why do you beat yourself yourself, get up." When the man saw me say this, he also got up and said, "Young master, don't you be angry, I didn't see the little one walking in a hurry." "It's okay, you're in a hurry." "Master asked me to send an invitation to Lord Wei, no, it is not early to see that it is not early, so I am in a hurry, young master, aren't you on duty in the palace? How to be here. ”

As soon as I heard this person say this, it was really someone Lan Yunjie knew, but as for who it was, I didn't know yet. "Did you send it to Lord Wei?"

"Not yet, I'm not in a hurry until it's coming, I'm afraid that people won't see guests when they eat."

"Don't worry, you take out the invitation card and I'll take a look." This man took out a big red envelope from his arms, I opened the envelope, and took out the invitation card inside, the invitation card was a red bronzing background, and it was written in small letters: I respectfully invite my brother Wei Bonian to come to the mansion on the evening of August 16 to taste wine and enjoy flowers. The following inscription is: Brother, Lan Fengqing. I saw that I put the invitation card in again, and said to the man, "You go in first and give it to Uncle Wei, I'll wait for you here." The man took the invitation and walked quickly to the Wei Mansion. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, I finally found Lan Yunjie's family, no matter what, I am now holding his body on my head, and I have to take advantage of his social connections. After a while, the man left the Wei Mansion and came to me and said, "Young Master, it's not early, let's go home." "I followed behind this person, walked less than a street to a gate, that gate is more noble than the Wei Mansion, I wondered in my heart, is Lan Yunjie's family background very prominent, but in the guards, it seems that this guy is very bullied, if he has such a prominent family background, he can still be a guard, and he can play at home. Just when I was thinking about my confidant, the person who came with me stopped, raised his hand and knocked on the door, I saw the plaque above the door with two big characters written on the Lan Mansion, and knew that this was Lan Yunjie's home.

After knocking a few times, the corner door next to me was pushed open from the inside, and an old man in his fifties came out of it, and saw the two of us standing at the door, especially the look that looked at me, as if he was very scared, the old man came to me, knelt down, and said, "Young master, I didn't know that you were coming, or I would open the door." ”

I said, "It's okay, the door is also in, you can get up." ”

The old man looked up at me suspiciously, and then looked at the person who followed behind, and the person behind me spoke: "Old Liu, the young master tells you to get up, you can get up." Don't be verbose, go and report to the master that the young master is back. The janitor named Lao Liu got up like he had encountered an amnesty, and said as he crawled: "Thank you young master, thank you housekeeper." ”

He walked in first, I and the housekeeper who didn't know the name followed behind into the gate, but saw this courtyard, it was really nothing to say, extremely luxurious, carved beams and painted buildings, eaves and beasts, except for the Dewang Mansion I had seen in Jinan, I really had never seen such a good courtyard, the ground was paved with square bricks of one foot square, and on both sides were more than ten zhang high towering trees and pots of various chrysanthemums were placed under the trees, the courtyard was very clean, and there were no other facilities.

Facing the main gate was the main hall, and I followed the butler through the courtyard to the main hall, which was covered with a carpet from Persia, and on either side were eight mahogany chairs. In the middle are two couch-like seats, covered with yellow fur cushions, wolf skin or whatever. Between the couches is a kang table, there are several landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and on the wall in the middle is a line of calligraphy, the handwriting is vigorous and powerful, and it is written Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong".

I knew that I couldn't be restrained when I came here, after all, it was my own home in name, so I sat down on the Taishi chair at the bottom and asked, "Butler, why is my father not here?" "The young master is in the old lady's room in the backyard, Lao Liu is calling, you sit down and wait."

I pretended to be impatient and said, "Don't wait, you can take me to the room, I'm a little tired today, I'll go see my father again after resting." ”

"Young master, no, the master told you to come, you have to wait for him here, otherwise how could I send Lao Liu to call the master."

"Okay, then I'll just wait here, get me some water to drink, and I'll wait here."

The housekeeper shouted: "Chunlan, make tea for the young master, and bring a few plates of fruits by the way." A girl's crisp voice came from behind: "Okay, butler wait." ”

After a while, from the corner door of the lobby, a girl came in, but I saw that this girl was twenty-eight years old, with apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, a nose like a green onion, and a melon seed face, which was really good-looking, not much worse than Wei Zihan. The girl came to the coffee table in front of me and put down the tea, and when she saw that I was looking at her, she lowered her head and turned away, looking a little frightened in her eyes.

Judging from the people I contacted, they were all a little scared of me, could it be that this Lan Yunjie was usually a tyrannical.

After the maid named Chunlan went down, the housekeeper also said goodbye and left. I sat in the hall, drinking tea, waiting to see what kind of character this Lan Yunjie's father was.

After waiting for a while, in the main hall, except for myself, not even a servant came, and the courtyard was quiet, it seems that this Lan family is very strict, and the Lan family is also the home of the eunuch.

Just when I was thinking nonsense, the curtain of the corner door was raised, and a middle-aged man came in, wearing a black poplin dress, and he really looked a little like Lan Yunjie.

I quickly got up from my chair and saluted and said, "Son, greetings to Daddy." ”

The man didn't answer, just sat on the couch in the middle, glanced at me, and said coldly: "Didn't I say that I wouldn't let you come back from the palace without my words?" Why did you come back today.

As soon as I saw this posture, there was a loving father's appearance, and as if I was trying a case, I quickly knelt down and said, "Father, General Sun, the chief manager, gave me a month off, and I couldn't stay in the palace all the time, so I went home." ”
