Because the food in the car had already been looted by the mountain bandits, everyone went on the road on an empty stomach without even eating breakfast.

Before leaving, Lu Yuancheng deliberately divided the guards into two groups, a group of twenty-four people, and followed him to escort Lu Xingwan and more than a dozen wounded people into Cangzhou City. The remaining twenty-five were in charge of escorting the bandits back to their original places.

After he finished sending his sister, he turned back to see the iron gap, and by the way, he thought about how to deal with these bandits.

And judging from last night's interrogation, that Peng Ye will also come over today, so he specially instructed the guards to hide as much as possible after entering the mountain, and then take him down by surprise after that Peng Ye appears.

The plain here is still about sixty miles away from Cangzhou City, and if you hurry up, you can reach it in an hour.

But in order to take care of Miss Lu and those wounded, the speed of the convoy was not fast, and by the time they saw the gate of Cangzhou Mansion, it was already dark.

Cangzhou Mansion is located on the border, and the people are brilliant, and Wen Shu felt it as soon as he entered the city. The men and women walking on the street are dressed in strong clothes, unlike Tokyo City, where the streets are full of skirts, and there are not restaurants on both sides of the road, but martial arts halls and medical halls.

"My maternal grandfather's surname is Li, and he is one of the second big families in Cangzhou, and his family is mainly engaged in martial arts halls and horse ........"

It seems that she is about to see her relatives, and Miss Lu, who has always talked little, was in a good mood to introduce her to the foreign family, and she was even kind to the old lady of the Li family.

Wen Shu then knew that it turned out that Miss Lu had been fostered in her grandfather's house since she was a child, and she didn't take her back to the Hou Mansion in Tokyo until she was about to die three years ago.

After entering the city for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a vermilion gate, and Wen Shu curiously lifted the curtain and looked at it, and was immediately stunned.

It's huge! How much does it cost!

The house in front of you, no, it should be a courtyard to be exact, it's too big!

The walls surrounding the outside can not be seen at a glance, the houses and pavilions inside are staggered, except for the inner courtyard of the palace, Wen Shu has never seen such a large courtyard in Tokyo City, even the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is not as good.

But after thinking about it, I realized that the city of Tokyo has a population of one million and is a small place, so every inch of land is expensive. The northwest border is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is much cheaper, and the Li family is a big family in this city, so it is not difficult to explain the construction of such a large courtyard.

Lu Yuancheng dismounted and asked a servant to come forward and knock on the door, but after a while, the door opened from the inside, and a person who looked like a housekeeper came out from inside.

His hair was gray and his face was wrinkled, but when he saw Lu Yuancheng standing outside the door leading the horse and the carriages behind him, he smiled like a flower: "Cousin, cousin!" ”

"Uncle Gong." Lu Yuancheng bent down slightly, and then asked with a smile: "My grandmother and uncles are at home, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, someone has been sent to deliver the word." The steward ran down the stairs with a smile, and then ordered left and right: "Come on, help my cousin lead the horse and carriage to the back, and the girl and the son come in quickly." ”

Wen Shu got out of the carriage with Lu Xingwan, facing the Gaoting compound of the Li Mansion, and sighed, and saw a few people rushing out of the vermilion gate.

Two middle-aged men in their forties and two noble women, accompanied by a group of young men and girls, the men were rough and their complexions were a little dark, although the women's homes were not black, but they were all tall and tall.

"Ouch, Qing'an and Wan'er are here! Fast! Come on in, your grandmother is talking about it every day. ”

"I've seen my uncle and aunt." Lu Yuancheng and Lu Xingwan saluted at the same time.

"Oh, it's all a family, where did you get so much courtesy." Li Chengjun, the eldest man of the Li family, patted Lu Yuancheng on the shoulder, looked at Lu Xingwan with a smile and said, "Why did you arrive two days earlier than in previous years this year, and so did you, this kid, I don't know how to send someone to send a letter back in advance, so we should prepare early." ”

"I came in a hurry, I said that I missed my grandmother later, and I happened to have nothing to do and sent her in advance."

The family greeted and walked into the door, and Wen Shu followed silently, dutifully playing the role of a maid, while secretly looking at the layout of the house.

"Grandmother, how are you doing lately, but you're still in good health?"

"Hey!" Mentioning this, Li Chengjun, the eldest man of the Li family, sighed: "Your grandmother is old, and she has been coughing more frequently last year. ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Xingwan suddenly became anxious, "Where is the grandmother now, has she ever used medicine?" ”

"I have asked a famous doctor to take medicine, but it has not improved much, last night I coughed all night and did not sleep, and it was difficult to sleep at lunchtime, it was because of you, I didn't tell her, I wanted her to sleep a little longer."

"It's okay, my grandmother's health is important." Lu Yuanchengqiang replied with a smile, but his heart was extremely heavy.

In my last life, my grandmother left on the fifth day of the first month of March, and now it's almost February.........

"You've been in a hurry, you're tired, I'll let the kitchen prepare dinner, you eat early, and rest early.........," Mrs. Li said.

Later, Wen Shu followed Lu Xingwan to the courtyard where she used to live, Jingyuan.

The courtyard is very large, in addition to the independent kitchen, there are many vacant rooms, in addition to the main room, there are more than a dozen vacant rooms.

Needless to say, the main house is where Miss Lu lives, Mama Chen and Yinhongluliu sleep in the two side rooms next to her, Chef Wang occupies one alone, and her two little maids who help the kitchen share a room, and there are seven or eight rooms left.

Seeing this, Wen Shu asked to sleep alone.

Lu Xing didn't really treat her as a maid in the evening, and after passing through the mountain bandits, he was even more grateful to her in his heart, and agreed without hesitation.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Li sent someone to say that Mrs. Li had woken up.

When Miss Lu heard this, she couldn't sit still, and immediately led Mama Chen and the others there.

Wen Shushen didn't know whether he should go or not, and after hesitating for a moment, seeing that the eldest girl didn't deliberately name him, he simply hid and didn't go out in the room.

Others only thought she was a little girl and didn't pay attention, but Chef Wang, who was left, glanced at her several times, as if she was a little surprised why she didn't keep up. But because the two didn't know each other very well, they didn't ask much, and led the two little girls to the kitchen to work.

After everyone dispersed, Wen Shu went back to the room and closed the door, and then fell on the bed with a "bang" and let out a long sigh of relief.

Whew, it's finally in Cangzhou!

Although there was some thrill on the way, but fortunately, the danger was turned into a disaster, counting the days, today is exactly the fifteenth day, that is, half a month, so should she talk to Lord Lu in the evening and talk about the IOU.

Who knew that after Miss Lu came back, she told her that Lord Lu was gone.

asked where she went, only said that there was an urgent matter to deal with, and she would come back in two days, so that she could be a little anxious.
