The path paved with large bluestone slabs was stained with rain, not only looking wet, but also a little slippery when walking on it, Sheng Changning took a cautious step by step.

Bai Lu, who was aware of Sheng Changning's actions, finally removed her eyes from the person in front of her, and she hurriedly stretched out a hand to support Sheng Changning.

Lixia, who was looking at Bai Lu from behind, was relieved, this alley was so narrow that it could only accommodate two people, and she couldn't get to the princess to go forward, otherwise she would have stepped forward to help her.

Sheng Changning glanced at Bai Lu again, and when he saw that after she withdrew her gaze, her face was already the same as before, so Sheng Changning also took his eyes off her face.

Only then did she feel in the mood to look at the long alley.

The alley is very long, it is dark and damp, there are slippery moss everywhere, Sheng Changning's long eyes swept away, her eyes were fixed on the low wall tiles on her side, and her eyes paused.

Sheng Changning has never seen such an ancient alley full of old atmosphere, Shengjing is prosperous, but she sneaked out of the palace by chance when she was young, and none of the house tiles she saw were like this.

What's more, she still grew up in the Chu Palace, where the eaves are high and the eaves are pecked and the jade is built.

Looking at the antiquity around here, suddenly, Sheng Changning remembered the words he thought when he was dangling on the carriage.

It's also a gold house.

She couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and she couldn't help but laugh.

Bai Lu, who was beside her, was the first to notice her mood swings, she curiously glanced at the master beside her, and saw that her eyebrows were suddenly crooked, and just this smile brought her originally beautiful eyebrows to a vivid and amazing point.

Bai Lu was secretly surprised, but she still suppressed the confusion in her heart.

……

No one said anything on the road, only the footsteps of a group of people were deep and shallow, and the long alley finally came to an end, turning the corner, like a willow and a bright flower, and the light was scattered on the ground.

Sheng Changning raised her eyebrows slightly, at the end of the long alley, it was bright and open, and standing in front of her was a spacious mansion.

The stone lion in front of the courtyard gate is obviously a long time old, the stone pattern on it has been beaten by the wind and rain, the red double door is closed, and the couplet of auspicious words is pasted on the side of the door, adding a bit of simplicity.

It's just that the red paint on this door and the bright color of this couplet are a little out of place with the antique atmosphere around here, as if they were newly added.

Seeing Sheng Changning's eyes, she couldn't hide her surprise, she didn't expect that what was blocked at the end of this long alley was actually such a courtyard, which surrounded this small world with the momentum of the crowd, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the red dust outside, and showed the spacious and quiet of a courtyard.

Before Sheng Changning could say anything, or wait for Zuo Nan to do something, the red door in front of him was opened from the inside, and a woman stood inside.

The woman's hair was combed in a bun, she had no silver rings on her bun, and the clothes on her body were also light-colored clothes, the woman's face was very kind, Sheng Changning looked at them one by one, and had a bottom in his heart.

As soon as she opened the door and saw so many people standing here, the woman was not panicked at all, obviously she knew her, and she shouted at Zuo Nan: "Brother Nan, this is the guest of the son?" What are you doing with such a pestle? Why don't you get someone in? ”

In the end, the woman's eyes had already begun to look at Sheng Changning, and she had a gentle smile on her face when Sheng Changning looked back.

Sheng Changning was invited into the courtyard, and the inside of the house was naturally the same as the atmosphere outside, with carved eaves and flying tiles, and ancient corridors, all of which were old and old.

People who don't know the goods may look disgusted when they glance at it.

Sheng Changning thought that she was thinking about it, this might be really a golden house.

Sure enough, after this thought fell on her mind, the woman who had just opened the door spoke as if she had opened a chatterbox, and spoke tightly beside her.

"Girl, this mansion was originally the old mansion of the Shen Mansion, and later the adults picked another place to build a new mansion, and the second son repaired it, but there was no low alley in front of it......

As soon as the woman spoke, she couldn't stop, and Sheng Changning only listened lightly, but did not interrupt her words.

"Girl, come here."

As soon as Heng Niang turned her head, she saw Sheng Chang's quiet and listening appearance, and her heart couldn't help but sigh slightly. Sure enough, the girl that Childe fell in love with was a different kind of person.

Heng Niang's smile deepened again, she took the initiative to pull Sheng Changning's hand, some rough hands covered the back of her hands, but some extra warmth, Sheng Changning glanced at the woman who was still chattering, but she didn't pull her hand out.

"This is called the North Courtyard, which used to be the place where the second son lived, but even after moving the mansion, the second son would still take the time to come back and stay for a few nights every month, so the North Courtyard would often be cleaned by people."

Heng Niang made a decision, she said: "Girl, you can live here for the time being, the second son has instructed the old slave to treat the girl well, and you can't be asked to go to the guest's room." ”

When Sheng Changning heard this, she felt that it was inappropriate in her heart, but then she thought that the north courtyard was cleaned early in the morning, and if she said that she lived in other wings, wouldn't it be annoying again......

After thinking about it, Sheng Changning took the opportunity to accept it, and when Heng Niang heard that she didn't refuse, the folds on her face were about to smile like flowers.

The girl from the capital is squeamish, willing to live in the house where the son lived, and further speaking, the two of them slept together! One step further, it is not far from the marriage of the two!

Heng Niang thought with a smile, she was so happy, she saw the tiredness on Sheng Changning's face, and said busily: "The girl has a hard journey, so let's rest early, the maids who have been made by the second son before are waiting in the north courtyard, with them here, the girl doesn't have to worry about anything, the old slave will retire first." ”

After that, she wanted to leave, Sheng Changning remembered something, and shouted to Hengniang with spirit: "I don't know what Mama is calling?" ”

The woman smiled kindly, "The girl calls the old slave Hengniang." ”

Heng Niang left, and Zuo Nan, who had been silently following Sheng Changning, was a man, and it was inconvenient to enter the north courtyard again, so he stopped.

He bowed solemnly to Sheng Changning again, Sheng Changning looked back at him in surprise and asked, "The left guard is leaving?" ”

She also thought that these guards would still stay in this mansion, just like they used to do in Xunyang City, in the inn and in Tongren Town.

But look at Zuo Nan's appearance, is he leaving?

After the salute, the man raised his head, his hand still pressed the scabbard of the long sword, and his tone was inexplicably a little condensed.

"The subordinates will have side tasks in the future, and the responsibility of protecting the princess will fall on Fu Yuan......
