Closed the account book and pushed it in front of Qian Duo: "You keep this account book first, and it will naturally be used when the time comes." ”

Qian Duo nodded and put away the ledger well.

"Little Marquis, according to your subordinates, it is better for you to return to Chang'an as soon as possible." Qian Duo said.

When Xuan Shijing heard this, he thought about it carefully, that's right, he went back to Chang'an, no matter what he did, it was much more convenient, and he was quite curious about who the traitor from the Hou Mansion was, and his intention to stay in Erxianzhuang for a few more days also faded.

And then there is the letter sent by Gu Fengtuo himself, and he must be loyal to others when he is entrusted by others, isn't it.

The itinerary that had been slowed down became tense again, and early the next morning, Gao Jun and Long'er packed up and waited for Xuan Shijing to go out, and this time they followed back to Chang'an with Shi Hu, who they had seen the day before yesterday.

Shi Hu got into the carriage, Xuan Shijing couldn't sit outside even if he wanted to, so he could only stay in the carriage with Long'er, and Gao Jun and Shi Hu sat on the frame in front of the car.

"Long'er, how have you been doing outside all these years?" Shi Hu was driving the carriage with Gao Jun and asked Long'er in the carriage.

"Okay." Long'er replied nonchalantly, how did she answer this question? Good? Or is it bad? As long as you can be by your own little marquis's side, it is good, but after so many years, the little marquis's body has also broken the hearts of a large number of people, which is not good.

Gao Jun next to him glanced at Shi Hu, and the expression in his eyes was uncertain.

Along the way, Shi Hu always talked to Long'er, which made Xuan Shijing's gossip fire suddenly burn, this Shi Hu likes Long'er, should Gao Jun be nervous.

Between Gao Jun and Long'er, Xuan Shijing estimated that the two of them also understood in their hearts, it was just a boiled duck with a very hard mouth, and now Shi Hu appeared Hehe, Xuan Shijing laughed very inauthentically in his heart, and a smile flashed on his face.

"Little Hou Ye, what are you laughing at?" Long'er, who was sitting opposite Xuan Shijing, happened to see Xuan Shijing's expression.

"Huh? Oh, I'm laughing, it's autumn, but it's also a good day for the peach blossoms to bloom. Xuan Shijing looked at Long'er with a smile.

Autumn? Peach blossom? Xuan Shijing's words made Long'er confused, his little marquis won't be stupid, where did the peach blossoms bloom in autumn.

Xuan Shijing's voice was not small, Gao Jun and Shi Hu sitting on the frame could naturally hear it, although Gao Jun said that he usually looked a little wooden, but he was also a ghost in his heart, he naturally understood the meaning of Xuan Shijing's words, and his face couldn't help but flush with an unnatural flush.

On the contrary, Shi Hu is a big grinning person, naturally he does not have Gao Jun's thoughts, nor does he have Xuan Shijing's crooked intestines, like Long'er, Shi Hu only thinks that his own Hou Ye is joking.

Xuan Shijing didn't stay in Erxianzhuang for a long time, so he didn't write a letter to send it back to the Hou Mansion, so the entire Hou Mansion didn't know that Xuan Shijing was very close to Chang'an now.

Chang'an, Shili Pavilion.

Xuan Shijing lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out, there was an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going on the road, Chang'an can be regarded as the first city in the world, so far away from Chang'an, you can see so many people, Xuan Shijing thought that it would be best if he could pass by his own Zhuangzi or something, but Gao Jun told him that Zhuangzi was in Dongshan County, naturally in the east, and the place where they came back was from the west of Chang'an, if they wanted to go to the fiefdom, they had to bypass Chang'an City.

It's all in front of the city, so why bother to take a detour.

A few miles away from Chang'an, Xuan Shijing saw the towering city wall of Chang'an City, he has not returned to Chang'an for more than ten years, the city wall of Chang'an is really getting taller and taller, it seems that His Majesty Li Er has lived a very nourishing life in recent years, and he has the money to repair the city wall.

The gate of Chang'an City in my memory is very large, and six carriages can walk side by side, but now I look at it, and I feel that this gate is not big enough, because there are too many people in and out of Chang'an City, and the caravan alone can account for half of it, and this is only one of the Chang'an City Gates.

There are fifteen large and small gates in Chang'an City, except for the one near the Daming Palace in the north, the other three sides are each city wall with three city gates, and Xuan Shijing came back this time, walked is the Jinguang Gate, from the Jinguang people to enter, go straight for a section is the west market of Chang'an City, turn a corner and pass through the two squares is the Fuxing Fang where the Hou Mansion is located.

Entering Chang'an City, especially when it comes to the West Market, it is basically impossible for the carriage to go fast, unless it is like an evil boy who is full of chickens and dogs jumping on the street, otherwise, just wait for it to move slowly.

"The streets of Chang'an City are getting more and more congested." Xuan Shijing said, I didn't expect the problem of traffic jams in later generations to appear in Chang'an, looked outside, and roughly estimated the time in my heart, too, it is the evening rush hour after work, and his carriage is on the fifth ring again

That's right, the Fifth Ring Road, the West Fifth Ring Road, Chang'an City from Zhuque Street to the West Market, is the horizontal and vertical five bars.

The fifth ring, you are really stepping on a horse more than the fourth ring, I knew that Xuan Shijing would let Gao Jun and Shi Hu take a detour from Guanghua Gate into Chang'an City.

Just on the street of the West Market, it took nearly a stick of incense to block the time, and after the West Market, in the direction of the Shunyi Gate of the Imperial City, it gradually became more spacious, after all, the people living near the Imperial City were all dignitaries, and ordinary people would not go this way.

This was what was called an upscale residential area in ancient times.

Arrived at the gate of the Hou Mansion, Xuan Shijing got out of the carriage and looked at the tall lintel of the Hou Mansion, the door of the Hou Mansion was still closed, and the house was as calm as ever, without the slightest waves, of course, this is only a superficial phenomenon, Xuan Shijing has not been in Chang'an for more than ten years, who knows that the movement of the Hou Mansion has not stopped for a moment.

No one knew that Xuan Shijing returned to Chang'an today, and the carriage was parked at the gate of the Hou Mansion alone, on the wide street.

Everyone in Chang'an City knows that since the accident of the little Hou of the Hou Mansion more than ten years ago, the door of the Hou Mansion has never been opened, except for the occasional letter to be delivered, there has been no movement, at first even some dignitaries and nobles visited, the Hou Mansion has not received, gradually, it has become a crowd, and then there are no finch

Looking at the cold Hou Mansion, Xuan Shijing's heart was sour, and an indescribable feeling came to his heart, more than ten years later, he saw the door of the Hou Mansion again, and he felt cordial and apprehensive in his heart, I don't know how my mother is, I don't know what happened to Uncle Zhong, I don't know if Xiaohuan Xiaoji is married, I don't know if Dabao Erbao has changed

Xuan Shijing walked to the door of the mansion, picked up the huge copper ring on the door, and knocked gently.

Shi Hu sat on the carriage shelf, Gao Jun and Long'er stood next to the carriage, looking at the gate of the tall Hou Mansion, and unconsciously, their eyes were wet.

"Who?" An old voice came from behind the door
