Chapter 220: Enter the palace

"Where did it come from? Where to go? Which one? ”

The soldier asked carefully. Mama Lu, who deliberately sat next to the driver in the front seat, said with a smile:

"Lord Hui, we are merchants from Baiyuan City. I came to the capital to buy something. Come and visit your relatives too. ”

"Who's in the car?"

"On the carriage are our young lady and two girls, and on the back carriage is a big girl and a steward."

"What kind of relatives are you visiting? Where to explore? ”

"General Lei's family, our third miss is Miss Lei's personal guard, this is our fourth miss, let's come and see the third miss."

"Yo, it's Miss Lei's personal guard, let's go in."

"Thank you, sir."

The convoy was just put into the capital. When passing the gate tower of the capital, Shang Ruonan could only sigh with surprise. When I left Baiyuan City in the morning, I felt the thickness of the city gate tower. The current gate tower of the capital is a higher level.

The gates of the entire city gate look thick and heavy. And from the checkpoint outside the gate to the street inside the city, the tower is the thickness of the wall, which is ten meters long.

The thick city wall separates the two worlds, and as soon as the carriage enters it, it is a small square-like place, and I think it is also because there are many people who come and go here, so there are no buildings here. A few meters further away, there are shops.

As soon as he entered the city, Shang Ruonan didn't dare to lift the curtains anymore to see. Mama Lu also nodded secretly when she saw it, this fourth young lady seems to have remembered some of the things she mentioned.

Shang Ruonan sat in the carriage, but he was seriously feeling the world outside the carriage.

"Stop, stop."

"Phew!"

It seemed that someone had stopped his carriage, and he heard someone ask:

"May I ask if you are a merchant from Baiyuan City?"

"Yes!"

The coachman replied.

"I am from the Huayang Palace, and I was ordered by our princess to take the young head of the merchant to the palace, and you can follow me in the carriage."

The coachman turned back and shouted:

"Young master, it's someone from the palace who has come to pick us up."

The red-clothed Shang Ruonan nodded, and then said casually:

"The young master said, follow all the way."

Shang Ruonan's carriage followed behind a man on horseback, and the carriage felt much more comfortable walking on the street, and it wouldn't be so swaying.

The noisy sound of people and cars outside the car, it seems that the capital is indeed much more lively, and there are two carriages along the way, and I don't know whose family it is. After walking for a while, I came to a quieter street. It seems that there is no one living here.

Mama Lu sat in front again, and commanded the coachman, who had never been in Beijing, to park the car next to a small door, saying that it was a small door, but in fact, this door could enter the carriage.

I heard a voice outside the car:

"Master Shang, this is outside the small gate of the palace. The little one will go back and say goodbye, and someone will come to pick you up in a while. ”

Shang Ruonan thanked him in the carriage, and Mama Lu got out of the carriage and gave this person a purse and said:

"Thanks for showing the way!"

The man took the purse and knew the weight inside, smiled and said:

"No thanks, no thanks, you wait, I'll go and say back, by the way, the coachman can take the carriage ten feet further forward, there is a stable, you only say that it is the car of the guests of the palace, and someone will take care of you and the carriage inside."

"Thank you!"

It seems that there is still a bit of a place to make a little silver.

This is also what Mama Lu reminded Shang Ruonan yesterday, the king of Hades is so invited, but the little ghost is difficult. Therefore, when you go to Beijing to do business, it is right to prepare some red envelopes of all sizes, and when the time comes, give a reward, and you will get more help.

Money, the merchant is using, a little reward silver, it seems that it is still not a problem. This matter was handed over to Chun Tao to cooperate with Mama Lu.

Sure enough, after a while, a grandmother came out, wearing a new dress. He also wore two silver hairpins on his head.

"Dare to ask if the young head of the merchant has arrived."

Because Shang Ruonan was still in the carriage and hadn't gotten down yet, the grandmother who came stepped forward and saluted, and then said.

Shang Ruonan replied in the carriage:

"Yes."

"The slave maid Mama Hua has seen the young master, and I ask the young master to get off the car and follow the slave to see the princess."

Shang Ruonan got out of the carriage under the care of the red clothes and the green clothes, the grandmother's eyes were very gentle, but there was also some sharpness in the gentleness, and she glanced at the people who followed:

"Yo, isn't this Mama Lu, the grandmother of Master Hou, I've seen Mama Lu! Mama Lu: What is this? ”

It seems that Mama Lu still has a certain reputation in the circle of these subordinates in the capital, and Mama Lu smiled and replied:

"Hello Mama Hua, I am entrusted by our master to accompany this young family master to meet the princess and the county lord. Because the young master has never been to the capital, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate, so I am asked to follow. Since last year, we have been cooperating with merchants to make a living, and you also know that the cloth that our Hou Ye came out of last year was made by the young master. So, ask me to accompany the young master of the family. ”

As he was talking, Shang Ruonan got out of the carriage, and Mama Hua didn't expect that this young family master was really such a small person, and it seemed that he was really a child, but I just heard Mama Lu say that the beautiful dyed cloth was made by this young lady, but she was really a clever person.

Mama Hua smiled and stepped forward to salute Shang Ruonan seriously:

"I saw the young master, and I invited the young master and the slave to come. Please! ”

Shang Ruonan also walked up and followed Mama Hua, and when Mama Lu gave a gift to Mama Hua, she gave Mama Hua a big red envelope, and Shang Ruonan saw it out of the corner of his eye, because when he was preparing the red envelope at home, Shang Ruonan noticed it.

The purse prepared by Mama Lu is also divided into several sizes. But this one is the biggest one.

When he came to the small door, a gatekeeper bowed down and greeted the person in. In fact, this small door is not small, and if the threshold is removed, you can still drive the carriage in. Usually, some people in Beijing come to visit, and those who can't go through the main gate also enter through the small gate.

When you enter the small gate, you will see a courtyard, with some tall trees and flowers planted in the middle, and on both sides are two small stone paths like paths.

There were two small sedan chairs parked there in front, and Mama Hua smiled:

"Young master, please get in the car, we will send you to see the princess immediately, the princess still has two guests today, but no one has arrived yet. Let's rush a little.

Shang Ruonan understood, the princess still has something to do today. I can't stay long.

Shang Ruonan saluted lightly and said:

"Thank you, Mama.

That Hua Mama didn't dare to be careless, and seriously returned Shang Ruonan's salute and said:

"The young master doesn't need to be polite, please!

Shang Ruonan looked at the small sedan chair, in fact, it was a chair made of small Teng, and then there were four small pillars, with a cover on it, and some gauze hung down around the cover, and you could also see the appearance of the garden through the gauze.
