Coming to the shopkeeper in the lobby downstairs of the inn, Cui Haoran inquired with the shopkeeper about the news of the Yuanshan Houhou Mansion. The Marquis Mansion of Yuanshan Mountain, this is the source of Cui Haoran's identity in this world.

"Shopkeeper, I'll ask you for some news, do you know how to get to the Marquis Mansion in Yuanshan?" Cui Haoran stood in front of the counter, stumbling with the shopkeeper a little casually.

"This little brother, are you talking about the mansion of Yuanshan Wencheng, the Yuanshan Marquis of the Lu Kingdom?" The shopkeeper asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, exactly, does the shopkeeper know?" Cui Haoran said affirmatively.

"I know, I know, that's our Liuhe City for generations of great family nobles, the Yuanshan Marquis Mansion is in the north of the city, and the largest mansion in the north of the city is the Yuanshan family." The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

After speaking, the shopkeeper hurriedly asked again: "The little brother is looking for the mansion of the Yuanshan family, but what is the matter?" What do you call the little brother? Do you need me to prepare a carriage for you? ”

Cui Haoran looked at the shopkeeper with an inexplicable expression that seemed to be smiling, and said with some playfulness: "My name is Yuanshan Wufeng." ”

Looking at the shopkeeper's dumb expression, Cui Haoran laughed, walked out of the inn, asked Xiao Er to bring his horse, turned over the horse, and went to the north of the city in a smoke.

In the north of the city, in front of the gate of the Marquis Mansion in Yuanshan, Cui Haoran looked at the big gilded characters in front of the mansion, and the big lion carved from jade next to him said in his heart, 'Magnificent enough' and walked to the mansion.

Cui Haoran was a little surprised that the two fierce guards in front of the door did not intercept him, allowing him to enter the Hou Mansion all the way unimpeded.

Knowing that as soon as she entered the Hou Mansion, a dignified maid dressed in red and green trimmed clothes greeted her and said to Cui Haoran: "Your Royal Highness, the Hou Ye is invited." ”

Cui Haoran's surprise immediately added three points, Cui Haoran was stunned for a while, wanted to understand the origin of the matter, and said: "Lead the way." ”

Cui Haoran was stunned for a while, and he estimated that as soon as he entered the city, his whereabouts might be known to the Hou Mansion.

A huge Hou Mansion has been operated for generations in this Liuhe City, and if it doesn't have this ability, it's impossible.

Walking behind the maid, looking at the graceful figure, Cui Haoran suddenly felt a little reverie.

After that, I was a little relieved, whatever, what should come is coming. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and we will meet the so-called Yuanshan Hou, the nominal father of this world.

After following the maid around the Hou Mansion, Cui Haoran finally came to a courtyard, and there were two guards guarding the courtyard gate, Cui Haoran could feel a kind of solemnity from the size and aura of the two guards.

The dignified and beautiful maid said to Cui Haoran at this time: "Your Royal Highness, the master is in the study, you can go in by yourself, and the slave and maid will be sent here." ”

Cui Haoran said 'um', and walked to the study in the courtyard by himself.

Pushing open the door of the study, Cui Haoran saw a man in the room with a wide body, a long body, a round waist and a thick back, a ruddy face with Chinese characters, a pair of tiger eyes with black and white distinct eyes, and a two-inch long beard on his chin, writing and drawing with a brush on the bookcase.

When Cui Haoran came in the door, the man's words came: "Close the door, come forward, I'll take a look." ”

Cui Haoran didn't answer, closed the door casually, came to the desk, watched the man write with his head down, thinking in his heart that it was Yuanshan Wencheng, and then fell silent.

After the man finished his business, he looked up at Cui Haoran for a while before he took a breath and said, "It's really like your mother, since Feng'er is back, don't go out to wander anymore." ”

Cui Haoran didn't speak, just stared at the man, and then nodded as an answer.

The man stood up, walked back and forth in the house several times, and then said, "Now that your eldest brother has become the heir of the Hou Mansion, it is not suitable for you to live in the mansion again. ”

"In this way, you will also receive the seal and move out to live like the other princes."

"You have not been in the mansion all these years, and I will also calculate your monthly payment for you, and allocate you 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, 20 guards, a compound in the city, and a manor outside the city for you to use."

"Your division is two percent more than that of other generations, what do you think?"

After hearing these words, Cui Haoran continued to nod and did not speak.

Seeing this, the Marquis of Yuanshan didn't say much, and said: "You will go to the old housekeeper to divide the seal in a while, go down." ”

Cui Haoran exited the study, and before closing the door, he still said 'thank you' to the back room.

The distant mountain in the house seemed to be a little surprised, and after being stunned for a while, he said with some relief, "Protect yourself in the future" and then fell silent.

Exiting the courtyard, Cui Haoran was a little stunned by what had just happened in the study, and he didn't know what Yuan Shanhou's relationship was with him and his mother in this world, so he could only be silent, because only silence would not make mistakes.

However, since the beginning is 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 taels of gold, 20 guards, a compound in the city, and a manor outside the city, Cui Haoran is happy to accept it.

Although yellow and white things have little effect on him, they are attractive to people in this world. The key is that he has to complete his task, and it is best to use these things to win people's hearts.

It's a good start, but now it's a matter of manpower and timing.

Find a guard and let the guard take him to the old butler.

When he came to the backyard, the old housekeeper saw Cui Haoran, greeted him, and said to Cui Haoran: "Your Royal Highness, the 20 skilled guards assigned by the lord have been prepared for you, all of them are men who have retired from the army, and they promise to be loyal." ”

Cui Haoran looked at the 20 guards standing in two rows behind the old housekeeper, took a cursory look, and thought it was not bad, and then nodded to the old housekeeper.

After that, Cui Haoran went to the treasury with the old housekeeper to receive the seal, and walked out of the Marquis Mansion in Yuanshan with his own guards, and rushed to his own big courtyard in the east of the city.

On the way, Cui Haoran had the heart to test the loyalty and ability of the 20 guards, so he said to the guards behind him: "You follow my horse, march quickly, and target the eastern compound of the city." ”

After saying this, Cui Haoran rode away. And the guards behind him immediately began to march rapidly under the greeting of the two leading guards, running all the way, chasing the smoke and dust brought by Cui Haoran and following closely.

Cui Haoran, who was on the horse, looked at the guards who were speeding behind him, and couldn't help but nod, his loyalty was not bad, he was indeed a man in the army, and he had some discipline.

And the guards are all dressed in leather armor and have weapons hanging from their waists, it seems that the Marquis of Yuanshan is still good to him, at least there is no restraint.

A burst of galloping caused a burst of people to turn their horses on their backs in the eastern city of Liuhe, and people thought that it was another gentleman who was acting recklessly in the city.

After a while, Cui Haoran and his 20 guards came to a compound surrounded by a high courtyard wall, and there was no way to see the situation inside, only a gate was tightly closed.

Cui Haoran didn't say much, and motioned for a guard to go up and buckle the door. Later, an old woman opened the door and came out and welcomed Cui Haoran in.

The old woman is the steward of this compound, and she will also be Cui Haoran (distant mountains without peaks) in the future.
