Chapter 6 Entering the Capital for the First Time

Xiao San stroked the back of the green donkey, and he was very helpless in his heart, and there was no better way for Brother Hua An. When Yin Jiu and the others arrived only a hundred steps away from him, Xiao San led the green donkey to the edge of the cliff and kicked the green donkey down, and then quickly found a hidden place to hide in the night.

"Gege, Gege、......" the green donkey shouted at the moment of falling off the cliff, but the sound became smaller and smaller, and gradually became inaudible.

When Yin Jiu rushed to the edge of the cliff, the green donkey had already fallen to the bottom of the cliff.

"We're still a step too late," Yin Jiu said.

"Ninth Master, we are here to kill, not to save people, and now that people have fallen off the cliff and died, we can make a difference." One of his subordinates said.

Yin Jiu is a native of the local, he clearly knows that the cliff in front of him is bottomless, and there is no road to the bottom of the cliff, if Hua'an and his family fall to the bottom of the cliff, they will definitely not survive, but why did they fall down so well? Yin Jiu frowned, unable to understand for a while.

"It must have been dark and I was in a hurry to flee for my life, so I fell off the cliff for a while," another subordinate said with a frown when he saw Yin Jiu.

When Yin Jiu heard this, he was silent for a long time, nodded and looked at the two subordinates and said, "You go and burn his house, and I will go back to report to Mrs. first." ”

"Yes, Ninth Master," the two subordinates said in unison.

After the three rode away on a fast horse, Xiao San walked out of the dodge, looked at the moon in the sky and muttered, "Brother Hua An, you are safe." ”

In the capital Jiankang, Cao Shu, the first lady of Situ Mansion, said with a gloomy face that her daughter's embroidered mandarin duck was still in front of the kneeling subordinates, and shouted: "You group of rice buckets, after teaching for so many years, Miss's embroidery has not improved at all, open your dog's eyes and take a good look at this embroidered mandarin duck?" Ducks are not like ducks, geese are not like geese, what is the use of Mrs. Ben raising you. ”

"Madam, how can you blame the slave maid for this? The young lady is unwilling to learn, and the slave is useless no matter how hard she tries to teach. A subordinate explained.

"Yes! Madam, besides, Miss's talent seems to be a little lower, maybe she will embroider in a few years. Another subordinate said.

"Bastard, the daughter of Mrs. Ben and Master Situ will have a low talent, and if Miss doesn't study hard, you can't teach him." Cao Shu was furious: "You dog minions who don't really learn from the real world and only make excuses, but Miss Luoluo is here, get out, you all get out of me,"

"Madame, I'm afraid I can't find a few embroidery in such a big capital that is better than them, let's let them try again!" The housekeeper Aunt Li persuaded.

Several kneeling subordinates also spoke. "Madame, the slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid have sold themselves in Situ Mansion, Madame, don't drive the slave and maid away, the slave and maid will definitely teach the young lady's embroidery well in the future."

"Hmph, now I know it's wrong, it's too late," Cao Shu stood up abruptly and said loudly: "However, I think that you have been with Mrs. Ben for some days, Mrs. Ben will be extra gracious and will not resell your deed of sale to Qinglou, wouldn't that be cheaper for those shameless stinky men?" ”

"Mrs. Xie is gracious, Mrs. Xie is gracious," a few slaves couldn't stop kowtowing, and what they were most worried about didn't happen.

At present, there are many wives of the scholar clan who are dissatisfied with the service of the slaves and maids, and drive them away, and then in order to relieve their hatred even more, they will resell their deeds of sale to the Qinglou, and the old bustard of the Qinglou will arrest people with the deeds of sale and force them to take customers.

"Aunt Li, go and return their deeds of sale to them! There is no shortage of this ransom in our prime minister's government. Cao Shu looked at the few slaves in front of her, broke her forehead, and suddenly her heart softened a lot, and her anger disappeared.

"Madame is really a bodhisattva, the slave will go and get it." Aunt Li smiled and bent over and turned to leave.

"Mrs. Xie, take care of yourself, the slave and maid will retire." A few slaves got up and went to pack their bags.

Watching the slaves and maids turn to leave, Cao Shu's heart suddenly fell empty, and she seemed to regret it a little, but what she said was the water that was spilled, how could the dignified Mrs. Situ Mansion go back on her word? Exalted status means enduring loneliness, and no one is exempt.

Outside the south fence gate of the capital, after a night of trekking, Hua'an's family looked very tired, looking at the soldiers wearing black leather armor at the city gate, Hua'an suddenly thought that this was not the "black battalion" guarding the Beijing division? The Wuyi battalion is the best-equipped army in the entire Great Jin Dynasty, all the soldiers wear black clothes and black armor, and even the flag is black, like a black shield guarding the Beijing Division.

"Wuyi Camp, we have finally arrived in the capital"

Hua'an suddenly became energetic, as soon as he entered the city gate, he asked passers-by about the location of Situ Mansion, and walked less than five miles in the direction pointed by passers-by, a tall building complex came into view, and the huge plaque in front of him was clearly engraved with three golden characters of "Wuyi Lane".

"Wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge, the sunset at the mouth of Wuyi Lane; In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people; A well-known ancient poem flashed in Hua An's mind in an instant.

At this time, in addition to the Wuyi camp stationed to guard the Beijing Division, Wuyi Lane also lived in the Wang Xie clan, Wang Dao must be here as today's Situ, and the Langya Wang clan as the first scholar clan of the Great Jin Kingdom, presumably Wang Dao's Situ Mansion must also be the most magnificent, Hua An raised his eyes and looked around, and walked towards the east of a tallest and luxurious building complex.

Hua'an walked less than three hundred steps, and the gate of Situ Mansion came into view. The vermilion iron gate looks very magnificent, the wooden plaque above the gate is engraved with three golden seal characters of "Situ Mansion", there are two stone lions carved from white marble symmetrically outside the gate, and four people wearing gray cloth clothes and gray cloth hats stand straight on both sides of the gate.

"This is Situ Mansion!" Seeing Hua An standing in front of Situ Mansion, Needle Niang stepped forward and asked.

"Isn't it written on the gate 'Situ Mansion'?" Hua An replied casually.

"Oh!" Needle Niang responded, and was suddenly stunned: "An'er, no one taught you to read, how do you know that this plaque is the three words 'Situ Fu'." ”

"This one! En," Hua An paused, and casually made up: "An'er climbed over the wall and hid under the window of the Yin family's private school to secretly learn, and he recognized a few words." ”

"Really!" Needle Niang looked at Hua An suspiciously and said, "Mother go and ask if this is Situ Mansion." ”

"Go, go, go, go"

As soon as the needle girl walked over, she was bombarded back by the doorkeeper before she opened her mouth.

"The dog's eyes are low, what's the big deal, it's just a watchdog, mother, let's go through the back door!" Hua An was very angry when he saw that his mother was coaxed away,

Hua An said as he walked along the outer wall of Situ's Mansion towards the back door.

"This is your deed of sale, take it! From now on you are free,"

"Madame is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, but her temper is not very good, which will inevitably cost you the money to redeem yourself,"

"You're not too young, get out of here and find a good man to marry! We women can't live without finding a man. ”

Aunt Li, the housekeeper of Situ Mansion, was sent out of the mansion by Cao Shu's subordinates, and she said a lot of words in a wordy manner.

To say that this Aunt Li is really very special, the general housekeeper is high, in addition to smiling in front of the master, whispering, the people under the opponent are all commanding, calling back and forth, all day long with a stinky shelf, no housekeeper has ever really cared about the people below, but this Aunt Li is so amiable to everyone, smiling all day long, and also loves to help others, so she is very respected in Situ Mansion, and everyone is willing to obey her arrangement, In this way, he has been in the position of steward for twenty years.

"Aunt Li, go back! Here we go. A few of the subordinates turned around and left with red eyes.

Aunt Li looked at the backs of several people who were far away, shook her head, turned around and walked back.

"Eldest sister, is this Situ Mansion?" Needle Niang hugged Hua An and asked timidly.

"Yes! Who are you looking for. Aunt Li turned around and answered.

"My name is Needle Niang...... I'm looking for one of my distant sisters. The needle girl stammered and finally spoke.

"Then you are asking the right person, there is no female dependant in the house that I don't know." Aunt Li looked very enthusiastic.

Seeing that Aunt Li was so enthusiastic, she didn't beat around the bush, and said softly: "My sister's surname is Cao, her name is Shu, and she is from Pengcheng. ”

"Yo, that's our lady in the house, you have a certificate!" Aunt Li looked at Hua'an's mother and son suspiciously.

"When I was a child, my father worked at my sister's house for a few years, and she even hugged me! Is this a voucher? After speaking, Needle Niang looked at Aunt Li in a daze.

"Over the years, there have been a lot of people who have pretended to be our wife's relatives, some people say that they have noses and eyes, but Mrs. can see through it at a glance, and several of them have been arrested and sent to the yamen prison, not to mention that what you said cannot be regarded as evidence." Aunt Li said sympathetically: "Looking at your old clothes and old shoes, you are also from a poor background, but you can't just recognize your relatives!" What's more, Mrs. is in a very bad mood today, and the few people who just walked out are the subordinates who were kicked out of the house by Mrs. ”

"Then what did they do wrong!" Hua An looked at the backs of several people who were far away and asked curiously.

"Miss's embroidery is not done well, and Madame was very angry and drove them out of the house, hey! I don't know where to find someone who can teach a good lady. Aunt Li shook her head helplessly.

When the needle lady heard this, she quickly took out a handkerchief from a bag of clothes and handed it to Aunt Li, and said, "Sister, this is the mandarin duck I embroidered, see if you can let me try to teach Miss." ”

Aunt Li raised the handkerchief and looked at it carefully, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, it's not worse than the maid in our house at all, but it also needs to be said by Mrs. Yes, you wait here, I'll ask Mrs. for advice." ”

Aunt Li said and walked in.
