Chapter 68

At this time, the Great Zhou Kyoto, which is thousands of miles away from Gaul, is a different situation.

On Chang'an Street, the lights are bright, and two lanterns are hung up in front of the tall mansion early, one is to give a light to the people who are busy with the maids, and the other is also a faint sense of showing off. This does not need to be ordered by the master, if someone sees other people who are officials in the same dynasty with lanterns hanging on the door, but the door of their own house is dark, not only can they not see the road clearly, but even the piece of the dynasty Yipin himself inscribed' Wei Fu's two words have become blurry and can't be seen clearly, so it's strange if you are not angry, the housekeeper who is not young wiped the sweat on his face, on the surface he saw it leisurely, but in his heart he couldn't help but be anxious, this old man has always been in the early morning after going home early to recuperate, or watering flowers and weeding, or lying directly on his most beloved Taishi chair to go outside to bask in the sun, there has never been an exception for decades, but after going out early today, he has not come back yet, not to mention, it is even more ominous in people's hearts, you think, what a cautious person the lord is, If he really has something important, he will at least send someone back to inform him, how can he not have accurate news back so late, isn't it obvious that it will make people anxious? The butler wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead with his sleeve, but the anxious look on his face could not be concealed.

"Fu'an, has the master come back?" A kind and auspicious voice came out of the main hall, and the housekeeper squeezed his face aside anxiously, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "Madam, aren't you young ladies going shopping with the new niece today, why don't you go together, I heard that this temple fair is really lively, it has been rare to see such a big temple fair in recent years, you also follow them, don't let the little lady play with the surname and no one can persuade him to come back,"

Sure enough, it was a housekeeper who had been doing it for decades, and the smile on the butler's face was no longer so stiff before the old lady walked to the shadow of the lamp, and glanced at the street where there was an endless stream of pedestrians, it seemed that he often had to do this kind of thing, he didn't leave a trace of panic, "Didn't I already tell you, the lord has something to do in the court today, it is a big event ordered by Banzai, and what he said is busy until late, no, just after being busy, Banzai Ye kept what to eat to celebrate the banquet, so it is going to be late today, and the people from the mansion just now also came to talk to me, said that the master of their family was also left behind by the master of our family, so he may not come back today, you didn't look at my surname! Saying that, the housekeeper pretended to hit himself on the head, "Look at my surname!" I just thought about asking the maid of Chunyuan to tell you, there seems to be some missing little lady and little master's favorite three-flavor real sesame pastry in the New Year's goods in the house, so I asked her to buy it first, who would have thought that when I turned around, hey, I forgot about the business, I blame me, blame me"

The kind-faced old woman hurriedly stopped him, "Fu'an doesn't blame you, I just remembered when I heard you say this, I heard the little girl in Chunyuan tell me about this, I don't remember my surname well, I just heard it and look at it now, I forgot it again, alas, this long live lord is also really, seeing that the New Year is about to be celebrated, I won't let anyone go home and have a meal first"

Fu'an hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt: "Oh, old lady, you can't say that, it's a great gift to keep the master to eat in the palace, that's valuing our master, if you change someone else's long live the master, maybe you don't want to stay or not, old lady, don't say this kind of thing in front of others, it will make the old man embarrassed to explain,"

The old lady smiled, "I'm old, I can't remember my surname well, I don't even have this brain, I can't remember what to say and what I shouldn't say, I can't remember what I can say and what I can say, alas, it's just that the master doesn't know if he eats well or not."

Fu'an smiled: "Look at what you said, madam, the things in this palace are all good things that ordinary people can't see in their lives, how can the lord not eat well, besides, those dozens and hundreds of imperial chefs are all invited from all over the country, and they are better than the ones made by our old king, I don't know if they are a little bit, if I say, the lord must be more than in our house." ”

"It can't be something halfway through, right?" The old lady's face changed suddenly, although she didn't want to think like this at all, and she didn't dare to think like this at all, but the voice in her heart kept ringing, as if she wanted to tell herself something.

"Madame!" Without saying more, Fu'an's face became more and more cold, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became a little disrespectful: "This is the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty**, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, if anyone dares to rob the sedan chair of the dynasty, that person must be drunk, besides, there are so many patrol soldiers on Chang'an Street, arresting the government quickly, even if someone dares to make trouble, he always has to think about his own life, I see that you have slept unsteadily in the past two days and are a little overworked, cui mark, cui mark!" ”

A little girl ran over in a panic, her pretty face was so frightened that she was about to cry, "Butler, I, I, I"

Fu'an didn't have the heart to care where she ran just now, and stretched out his hand to pull her up, "Help the old woman to take a look at the young lady, maybe they are still arguing about what beads to wear, the evening street party is about to start, if they don't hurry up, then they won't be able to see, by the way, isn't the little lady always clamoring to eat sugar gourds?" That's not it, hurry up and call him over and buy a bunch for each of them."

The housekeeper wanted to say something, but a shrill voice suddenly sounded behind him, "It turned out to be Butler Fu, yo, the old lady is also here, this is going out to go shopping" Fu'an turned around suddenly, and was shocked, his blue clothes were trimmed with bright yellow edges, it turned out to be Ouchi's father-in-law, and he was also a father-in-law who was familiar with him, long live the lord If there was anything, he would call this father-in-law to come and pass it on to the master, but today, he couldn't help but shudder, and stepped forward with a smile," I wonder if my father-in-law came to tell me the news of my father-in-law? ”

"Yo, Steward Fu is a person with a heart like a mirror, and he guessed it before the miscellaneous family said a word, Lord Wei was indeed left in the palace by Banzai to eat, and Banzai knew that Lord Wei had always gone home on time, so he specially came to call the miscellaneous family to come over and say," there was also a surprise in the father-in-law's shrill voice.

"Father-in-law Xie," Fu'an finally put his heart back in his stomach, thank God, this is really the sky has eyes, otherwise he really doesn't know how to comfort this old lady, as if he remembered something, Fu'an took the father-in-law's hand and quietly stuffed a piece of silver into his hand, "I'm tired of my father-in-law, it's freezing at home to have a cup of tea, come"

The father-in-law's smiling face bloomed, and he waved his hand and said, "I'm still waiting for the miscellaneous family to reply, next time, next time I will definitely have a drink first, and the miscellaneous family will leave first, the old lady will stay, the Fu housekeeper will stay, and the miscellaneous family will leave." ”

It wasn't until the father-in-law went away that the old lady's heart was much more steady, as the saying goes, the young husband and wife are old companions, and that person is a product for the country's official residence, but all she cares about is whether he is okay and whether he can eat well, this is enough.

Fu'an pinched a handful of sweat, fortunately, the father-in-law in the palace handed a clear letter, otherwise he would have been angry with the old lady, he would definitely sit here for a night, he was busy shouting hello, "Hurry up and see if the ladies are okay, the street meeting is about to start, don't let the old lady wait here,"

Xu is heart let go, and the smile on the old lady's face increased again, "Don't worry, I'll go over and see them, and Ah Fu'an, the people also want to go out, then they all go out and have a look, don't give them too much today, you know?" ”

Fu'an replied respectfully: "I know, old lady, and the old man's 'niece' is also."

The old lady glared at him, "She's a girl, like every young lady, you give her an extra fifty taels of silver, just here people are not familiar with the land and always think that they can have fun and buy, just have fun together, don't be too picky,"

Fu'an couldn't cry or laugh, but when the words came to his lips, he still followed the old lady's meaning, "Yes, then I'll pay her in the tent again,"

"Go ahead, remember, if she won't, then tell Qi'er to coax her"

Hearing the little lady who was the most naughty and mischievous but was regarded as the pearl of the palm by the entire Wei Mansion, Fu'an's head grew bigger, but he still said with a wry smile that he couldn't pretend to be: "Yes," but he thought in his heart, that young lady, I'm afraid that I can't get rid of that foreign girl's room now.
