Chapter 183: Bianjing Zhao Mansion
The Zhao family in Bianjing, at a glance, is also a * mansion, the two lion statues in front of the door show sharp fangs, no matter who the person is, they are all fierce.
Liang Chenyue stood in front of the Zhao Mansion dressed in black, her black hair was tied high, and the morning sun sprinkled on her body washed away a lot of the anger on her body, but it was a little more bright.
Zhao Zhongzhong has fought side by side in the officialdom over the years, and has done a lot of things for Prince Jin, and he is a rare loyal minister in the court. Therefore, now in the court, the highest status is Prince Jin, followed by Zhao Zhongchen. Everyone knows that Zhao Zhongchen is the person of King Jin, and no one dares to offend him.
The people of the Taiwei Mansion didn't dare to let Liang Chenyue wait too long, so it didn't take long for the housekeeper who said he was going to go in to report also came out, with a brown silk and a high hat, which made him look a little burly, so as not to reduce the momentum he should have because of his short stature, after all, those who can be housekeepers have two brushes, Liang Chenyue's eyes did not dodge, and he looked at the housekeeper directly.
The housekeeper walked over with a smile, dismissed the two subordinates behind him who were going to follow, and when he arrived in front of Liang Chenyue, his body was unconsciously lowered, and he didn't have the momentum that he had just walked out of, and his flattering tone and demeanor made this person even more cunning and shrewd. "Miss Liang, I'm really sorry, my lord went out today, and now he is not in the house, only my young master is in the house. But my young master said, if you want to come in and wait for the master, let the little one lead the way. ”
Liang Chenyue didn't like the housekeeper's flattering appearance very much, she didn't want to bully people, but this housekeeper had probably already refined a sleek attitude, seeing that she was a person from the palace, her identity was naturally higher, and it was not good to offend Prince Jin, so she also treated Liang Chenyue as a Buddha, and she was afraid that she would accidentally upset people. But he didn't know that his current appearance made Liang Chenyue feel even more unhappy. But fortunately, the person who came was Liang Chenyue, and she didn't care about anything. If you change the wind, you will shout directly if you are not happy, and you will be extremely hot. So in order to avoid such a thing from happening again, this kind of visit Mo Bing didn't dare to explain to Shuo Fenggan, and now it has fallen on Liang Chenyue.
Liang Chenyue snorted, couldn't see what the expression was, and without any hesitation, she followed the housekeeper into the house.
The housekeeper who led the way in front of him walked slowly, and Liang Chenyue hindered the people who came to visit and walked too fast, and his pace slowed down a lot. Entering the Taiwei Mansion, Liang Chenyue's eyes swept over the surrounding furnishings at will, and sure enough, as rumored outside, Taiwei Zhao was an honest official, diligent and thrifty, and the furnishings on the huge Taiwei Mansion were estimated to be less luxurious than the local officials' homes, and there was a sense of poverty everywhere. Not far away, there are a lot of water bamboos in a water pavilion, and there are some water lilies in the pond that have not yet bloomed, and they have not been frozen in such a cold weather, and it seems that they are also a rare species.
The housekeeper saw that Liang Chenyue's eyes had been falling on the surrounding furnishings, as if he knew what she was thinking, and hurriedly said, "Miss Liang, don't misunderstand. The water lilies in this pool were not bought by the lord for money from outside. Although it is a rare breed, the lord is not willing to spend money on it. To tell you the truth, the water lilies in this pool were brought by my young master from outside. The young master is used to spending money lavishly..."
Liang Chenyue retracted her gaze and stopped the housekeeper from continuing to speak, "There is no need to go into such detail, today Prince Jin asked me to come just to take something from Taiwei and go back, and leave after taking it." ”
Liang Chenyue expressed his intention in a few words, Zhao Zhongchen's only son is a second lord, Liang Chenyue has heard of it. Relying on the fact that he is Zhao Zhongchen's only son, his status is one level higher than others, so he can be said to be rampant and domineering in Bianjing, but he has been a lot more secure recently, after all, Mu Yun is still quite ruthless.
Listening to Liang Chenyue's words, the housekeeper suddenly relaxed. He has always been tactful, he knows how to speak, if it is not for his identity, he is destined to be a level lower than others, if he walks in the officialdom, he must be at ease.
"Then in that case, can you let the little one ask. Since it's just one thing, why don't you let the subordinates of the Taiwei Mansion send it directly, but bother Miss Liang to run it herself? The housekeeper's voice was very low, and his tone was as low as possible, if ordinary people saw it, they would feel that every word he said was just an unintentional temptation, after all, he didn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person. But the other party is Liang Chenyue, and she naturally knows whether the matter is serious or not.
"Isn't the housekeeper asking too much? Since Lord Jin asked me to take it in person, it was naturally because that kind of thing was very important, and as for what it was, I don't think the housekeeper has the right to know! Liang Chenyue criticized mercilessly. She doesn't like people like the housekeeper, and even talking to him makes people worry about whether what he said will be another set. In comparison, Steward Zhang of King Jin's Mansion is much easier to get along with.
The housekeeper immediately apologized with a smile and said angrily, "It's a little mouthy... I hope Miss Liang won't be surprised. "The housekeeper originally saw that Liang Chenyue was very talkative, and she was just a girl, so she might be able to say something, but now she accused him in front of others, and this face was really embarrassing.
Liang Chenyue kept a calm face, and didn't say anything, just quietly followed behind the housekeeper. The butler turned his back to her, and she couldn't see a trace of cruelty flashing on his old face, all hidden in the smile on his face. After walking for a long time, a few guards could be seen sporadically on the road, and from beginning to end, only the housekeeper was alone with Liang Chenyue, who had just walked over from the garden and bypassed a courtyard, Liang Chenyue couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "The construction of this Taiwei Mansion should also be some years, how is it not consistent with the architectural style of the general mansion." The location of the main courtyard is relatively middle, if you say that the best location is probably the courtyard that you just passed. ”
The general mansions are old-fashioned, like the Jinwang Mansion, which was also built for some time, and the style should be the same. Of course, there are also some Liang Chenyue who have a more unique style, just like the structure and distribution of the Purple Moon Hall in Gusu Haoyue is not quite the same as these old-style courtyards, Liang Chenyue has been to it once, and the furnishings are so extravagant that people suspect that Liang Chenyue's identity is a higher level than the identity of the prince. But because it was built with money from King Jin, it is difficult for anyone to say anything if they have any objections.
The butler's face turned the color of pig liver, and some beads of sweat appeared on the corners of his forehead, but his face was still calm, and he said with a smile: "Miss Liang doesn't know, that courtyard is also the main courtyard, but since the death of the lady, I haven't regarded that courtyard as the main courtyard." Now the Taiwei Mansion regards the young master's courtyard as the main courtyard... Hey, it's right in front of you. Why don't you go over by yourself? There are still a lot of things to deal with in the small house, so I will be out of company first. ”
After the housekeeper finished speaking, he glanced at Liang Chenyue apologetically, Liang Chenyue's heart sank, this housekeeper looked very guilty, with a tone of discussion with her, but he didn't wait for her consent at all, as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave, but he made something terrible in this courtyard and escaped. Liang Chenyue shrugged, with a slight doubt in her heart, raised her feet and walked towards the courtyard.
It's really strange to say, a huge Taiwei Mansion, it is really strange to treat people and things, how can there be a reason to lead the way for the guests, and let the guests go by themselves halfway, fortunately, Liang Chenyue does not care about these, otherwise this attitude is to subdue the face of the prince of Jin, if this is brought back, it will still have some impact on the Taiwei Mansion.
Liang Chenyue didn't think too much about it, and raised her feet and entered the courtyard. There are quite a few people in this courtyard, and there is a person guarding it every two meters, all of them are fierce and vicious, and their faces are very serious. The furnishings of the courtyard were much more luxurious than those of other courtyards, and the people inside looked at her with indescribable expressions when they saw Liang Chenyue coming in.
After walking for about ten meters, I finally saw a little maid come up and talk to her.
"The girl is looking for someone? Did the housekeeper let you come? The little maid's voice was a little hoarse, although she was talking to Liang Chenyue, but she didn't see her looking up at Liang Chenyue. Liang Chenyue frowned slightly, and her eyes involuntarily fell on the face of the little maid who lowered her head and didn't let people look at it. Although the little maid lowered her head to prevent people from looking, some bruises on the corners of her forehead betrayed her.
Liang Chenyue was even more puzzled, could it be that this Taiwei Mansion could still abuse a little maid like this?
"It's not." When she said a word, she didn't have time to say whether she was "not here to find someone" or "not the housekeeper asked her to come", all of which were stopped by a ruffian laugh.
As soon as the voice came out, the little maid's whole person was like being beaten with chicken blood, the whole person trembled violently, and her feet began to retreat non-stop, but probably because she was too quick to retreat, she didn't have time to look at the person behind her, and she didn't have time to control the force, so she bumped into the arms of the passer, and the person who came snorted, and then shouted angrily: "Which is not long-eyed!" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the man grabbed the little maid's arms and forced her to turn away. The little maid was forced to meet the eyes of the person who came up, and at that glance it was like seeing a ghost, and hurriedly lowered her head again, her hands and feet couldn't stop shaking even more, and the corners of her mouth kept shouting: "The slave should die, the slave should die..."
However, Rao is so "sincere" apology, and it doesn't necessarily mean that the person will not be investigated, as soon as her hand is raised, she doesn't say a word, she can't even react to Liang Chenyue, and a slap falls on the little maid's face.
