When I came out of Qianzhuang, it was another sunset, and the afterglow was sprinkled throughout Chang'an City, but unlike the mood of the previous days, today's Zhao Chen was obviously in a better mood.

The minting of the new coin was like taking a big stone from his heart, and the whole person suddenly became relaxed and happy, sitting in the carriage driven by the wooden mound, Zhao Chen hummed jasmine lightly in his mouth, and his eyes kept looking at Chang'an City under the sunset.

When passing by the people who had just come back from the construction site, Zhao Chen also deliberately asked Muqiu to slow down the speed, sat in the carriage, and chatted with the neighbors he knew while walking.

Entering Xinghuafang, separated from the neighbors, the carriage stopped at the door of the wheat mother's shop as usual, and without Zhao Chen saying anything, the wheat inside would run out quickly with a string of sugar gourds, and then, climb into the carriage and go back to the house with Zhao Chen.

The sugar gourd that wheat brings today is hawthorn, with a layer of rock sugar hanging on it, and the most difficult thing is that a layer of white sesame seeds is sprinkled on top of the rock sugar coat.

Zhao Chen took the sugar gourd in Wheat's hand, and chewed it with a click, the sugar gourd was a little sticky to his teeth, Zhao Chen ate a few things, and then he had to stop and use a skewer to make the syrup stuck to his teeth.

"Laughing at what?" When he was making the syrup on his teeth with a skewer, his eyes noticed the wheat on the opposite side, and he was looking at him with a smile, Zhao Chen suddenly said angrily: "Haven't you seen Master Hou pick his teeth?" ”

"No!" The smile on Mai's face was very obvious, he covered his lips with his hands, looked at Zhao Chen with crooked eyebrows and said, "I saw that Hou Ye was in a good mood!" ”

"It's just you, a ghost!" When Zhao Chen heard the words of wheat, he clicked, and another sugar gourd entered his mouth, and while chewing, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the double bun of wheat, and said with a smile.

A few days ago, wheat had passed the age of the straw. The bag that is always on the head has been replaced with a double bun.

In this era, whether it is a crown or a banquet, a banquet is to be held, and the pomp and circumstance of the banquet will naturally be different according to the gap between the rich and the poor. Wheat's feast was organized by Wheat's mother.

Now, since Mai has recognized her mother, this kind of thing is naturally handled by her mother.

As a result, when Zhao Chen brought it up, Mai cried on the spot, the woman who had always seen Zhao Chen and only dared to give salutes from afar. made a special trip to the Hou Mansion, kowtowed to Zhao Chen, and said a lot of words gratefully.

Whether it was wheat at the beginning, or the other little girls in the house, they were all bought by Chai Lingwu's bastard from Renyazi.

According to the household registration system of the Tang Dynasty, after the wheat people were sold to people by their parents, they were equivalent to being good people. Voluntarily turned into a slut.

After that, he was a slave and a maid, and he was beaten and killed by his master's family. If it is thrown into a mass grave and buried, the officials will not pursue it, because the laws of the Tang Dynasty have always been set up for the nobles and beloved.

And this time, Zhao Chen will not only be a wheat ceremony. Let Wheat's mother do it, and moreover, she also restored her free body to Wheat, raising the original cheap status to a good one, which is for Wheat. It is undoubtedly a great blessing.

Therefore, although Mai is now the maid of the Hou Mansion, her identity has long been very different, and she is no different from the little lady of ordinary people's families.

After restoring the freedom of wheat, Zhao Chen set up a rule for the mansion, in the future, as long as he has been a subordinate in the mansion for three years, he will be restored to his free body, and he will be elevated to the status of a good person.

As soon as Zhao Chen's rule came out, the people of the entire Hou Mansion were jubilant, these people were reduced to the status of lowly status, and they all had their own unavoidable hardships, if they were normal people, who would like to be a good lover not to do it, but to be willing to be cheap!

It's just that as soon as Zhao Chen's rule came out, only Zhang Lu, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, looked worried, and came to Zhao Chen several times, but as a result, Zhao Chen, who finally lost his patience, turned his face to Zhang Lu for the first time.

Since then, Zhang Lu didn't dare to mention it, although he looked sad, he still did other things silently.

There were visitors in the Hou Mansion, Mu Qiu drove the carriage, and when he was about to arrive at the Hou Mansion, there was a carriage parked at the entrance of the Hou Mansion from a distance, and the decoration was slightly luxurious, not like it was casual, from a certain noble's house.

"Muqiu, do you recognize it?" Zhao Chen sat in the carriage, squinting at the carriage parked in front of the Hou Mansion, without looking back, and asked the wooden mound who was driving the car on the side.

As the saying goes, three hundred and sixty lines, the line produces talents, Muqiu followed Zhao Chen to Chang'an, and has been helping Zhao Chen catch the car.

This young man is usually silent, but his eyes are sharp, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is unforgettable.

But anyone who has been looked at by Muqiu, whether it is a person or something else, generally speaking, will remember it clearly next time, which is why Zhao Chen has been letting Muqiu catch the car.

"Master Hou, this is the Dugu family!" When Mu Qiu heard this, he tilted his head slightly, with a shy expression on his face, looked at Zhao Chen and said, "Last time the Hou Mansion was moved, the carriage of the Dugu family came to the mansion!" ”

"Dugu Family!" When Zhao Chen heard Mu Qiu say this, he frowned slightly, as Mu Qiu said, the last time the Hou Mansion was built and needed to be relocated, it was indeed Dugu Mou who came in person.

It's just that for a while, I couldn't understand why the Dugu family didn't come to the door every year. Last time, too, when the Hou Mansion moved, Dugumou was not invited in advance, and as a result, the young man himself ran to the door.

If it is, Zhao Chen doesn't think it's anything unusual in any other noble family, but the problem is that this is the Dugu family, and the power represented behind it is not comparable to ordinary noble families.

One of the Eight Pillars of the Year, the real veteran Guanlong Gate Valve, if the Shandong Gate Valve represents the power of the Shi clan, then the Eight Groups of Guanlong represent the power of the warlords.

The most important thing is that because of Queen Dugu back then, the Dugu family and Li Tang also had a close relationship, and Li Er's bloodline that has always been criticized started from Queen Dugu.

The Dugu family is the real Xianbei bloodline, ranking among the eight major groups of the Eight Pillars Country, with strong strength, and once they enter Long, almost all of them are in the Dugu family's sphere of influence.

Therefore, Dugumou's visit to the door three times and twice really made Zhao Chen incomprehensible, a family with such a background would naturally not deliberately pull a relationship with him for the sake of just brass.

The people in the house had already opened the door early when Zhao Chen's carriage had not arrived, and the carriage entered directly from the middle gate, and when it was not until the courtyard, Zhao Chen stepped on the pedal and got off the carriage.

"Master Hou, the young master of the Dugu family is here!" As soon as he got out of the carriage, Zhang Lu hurriedly said to Zhao Chen: "At this time, I am waiting for the Hou Ye to come back in the hall!" ”

"How long have you been here?" When Zhao Chen heard this, he frowned slightly, stretched his robe, looked at Zhang Lu and asked.

"It's been about half an hour!" When Zhang Lu heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Refreshments have been served!" ”

"Got it!" Zhao Chen heard Zhang Lu say that Dugumou had been here for half an hour, so he immediately sighed and explained to Zhang Lu, saying, "I'll go to change my robe, and I will say that Ben Hou will go to the hall to meet guests later!" ”

Saying this, Zhao Chen raised his feet and walked towards the backyard, after a busy day in Qianzhuang, his body was dirty, and it was naturally not a hospitality.

In the hall of the Zhao Mansion, at this time, Dugumou, who was dressed in a white robe, was sitting on a Taishi chair, and on the desk next to him, there were refreshments sent by Zhang Lu.

It's just that these refreshments, since they were delivered, have been placed there, and Dugumou has never moved from beginning to end.

It's not that Dugumou has something in his heart and has no time to taste those refreshments, but because Dugumou has a very serious cleanliness habit.

Since he was a child, he has lived in a big family and has his own very large house, in which no one else is allowed to step in except for his personal maid.

He likes to wear white robes, even if it is a handkerchief, he uses a white one, and the bowl used for eating is a fine white jade bowl, and the same is true for drinking cups.

There was always a furnace of ambergris burning in the carriage, because there was a smell of disgusting smell floating in the air outside Dugu Moujue, so even if he was a guest at the Zhao Mansion, no matter how good the refreshments were served, he would ignore them.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, and Dugumou, who was originally sitting stiffly on the chair, suddenly lit up in his eyes when he heard the sound of footsteps.

Because, he has been waiting for the Lord for half an hour, and finally waited.

"I don't know that Brother Dugu is here today, it's a bit rude!" Zhao Chen, who had changed into a clean robe, walked in from outside the door with a smile, and before he came in, his voice had already reached Dugumou's ears heartily.

"It's a certain family that comes uninvited, and it's rude that it's a certain family!" waited until Zhao Chen walked into the hall and sat on the chair Dugu Mou, then he stood up, bowed to Zhao Chen, and said with a reserved face.

After a few words of greeting to each other, they sat down, and after a while, Zhang Lu photographed a few maids and brought refreshments.

Zhao Chen looked at the refreshments on Dugumou's table, didn't move at all, and asked the maid to replace the hot ones again and deliver them to Dugumou on the table.

"The name of this tea is called Longjing, picked from the south of the Yangtze River, stir-fried by hand, soaked in spring water, fragrant, Brother Dugu may wish to taste it!" Zhao Chen picked up the tea that the maidservant had just delivered, raised it to Dugumou, introduced the origin of the tea, and invited Dugumou to taste it.

It's just that Zhao Chen's voice fell, and Dugu Mou showed a hesitant look on his face, as if his heart seemed extremely entangled, his eyes stared at the tea, and he looked like he had a deep hatred.

"Cleanliness?" Zhao Chen saw Dugu Mou showing this painful look, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, and he said in surprise.

"Not really!" When Dugumou heard Zhao Chen's words, he seemed to have finally made up his mind, suddenly picked up the tea, looked at Zhao Chen from afar, and drank a big sip of tea under Zhao Chen's stunned eyes. (To be continued.) )
