Chapter 877: City Lord's Mansion
"I'll be back soon." Liang Chu leaned over and kissed her forehead, "You have enough secret guards around you to protect your safety, if you find that the situation is wrong, go back to the ship immediately, there are our people there, it will be fine." ”
There are sailors and crew members on board, all of whom are trained by the imperial court and will protect her.
And if he found that the situation was not right, he would ask someone to sail first. As long as they leave the dock, these people will not be able to catch up with the ship.
Mu Ling thought about it, although she was not at ease, she really didn't want to see those corpses.
Although she glanced at it before, and at a cursory glance, the corpse above had not yet decomposed, but who knew what was going on below? She is not a forensic doctor after all, she has not seen and is used to those things, and she can't accept them for a while.
In this way, Liang Chu's proposal was very much in line with her wishes.
"In that case, then I will wait here for you to come back, and you should be careful, if the situation is not right, run back to the dock, we will go together, otherwise I will go to the mountains to find you."
Mu Ling raised his head and looked at him with a stinting gaze.
Liang Chu nodded, and responded in a dumb voice, then turned to look at the city lord: "Lao Fu will take us to the place where we live first, and the servants and servants can go to the mountain first, and I will arrive later." ”
"In this case, let me come with my own officer." The city lord had no choice but to say.
It's really not that he is too good at talking, but the aura of the person in front of him is too strong and too powerful. At first glance, it is the posture of a perennial superior, and the background is naturally amazing, so he can't afford to provoke it.
And this person's posture is so arrogant, it must not be something he can ask about his identity at will, it's better to be softer.
Liang Chu nodded almost invisibly, and led Mu Ling to follow behind.
Passing through the lobby, there is a ping, and there is a corridor on one side, and you will see a corner door when you walk through the corridor. At this time, the corner gate was wide open, and the city lord led them through the corner gate, and they saw a back garden.
It turned out that although the city lord's mansion was in the same place as the yamen, it was also separated.
Cut from this corner gate, on one side is the yamen, the public court, the interrogation room, the residence of the officials, the prison cells, etc., and the wall separated from the yamen is the city lord's mansion.
On weekdays, this corner gate is open, so it is convenient for the lord of the castle to move around in two places. At night, the corner door was closed, and the rules of the two places were not disturbed.
It's a very good idea.
Mu Ling looked around, and couldn't help but admire in his heart: it can be seen that this vassal king's mansion was originally a big project, but if a city lord openly lived in the mansion of the vassal king's mansion, it would seem a bit overstepping. At this time, the lord of the city divided this part into a yamen, but the area of the residence was reduced, and the specifications were just not criticized.
It's just that I don't know if this is a clean official, or it's a different appearance.
Walking through the back garden, there was a person who looked like a housekeeper to greet him, and the city lord hurriedly stood and introduced: "This is the housekeeper in the house, the housekeeper, these two are the distinguished guests in the house, clean up the courtyard of the east wing, and settle these two properly." ”
"Yes!" The housekeeper didn't dare to slack off, bowed down and said, "The two of you please come with the villain, and the villain will lead the way for the two." ”
"The lower official went to the mountains of Wushuang City first, and he was lost." The lord of the city took his leave.
Mu Ling naturally didn't force him to stay, nodded and turned his head to Liang Chu and said, "You can go with you, it's all here, I'll follow the housekeeper." ”
The layout of the City Lord's Mansion has been almost seen, and there will be no problem in thinking about it.
Liang Chu frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, he nodded: "Be careful yourself, if you want to eat something, send someone to buy it." ”
After that, he glanced at the butler, and did not treat himself as a guest at all.
The housekeeper is a person who can look at the eyes, so he naturally doesn't dare to slack off at this time, and he is busy smiling and reassuring, and Liang Chu is satisfied with leaving.
Mu Ling followed the housekeeper and continued to walk towards the inner courtyard.
"Madam, please ...... over here" The butler politely stretched out his hand and walked to the other side.
Mu Ling saw that there were already several courtyards here, presumably the ladies and ladies of the inner courtyard lived. It's just that I haven't met anyone along the way, which saves me a lot of trouble.
It wasn't until he led her to an elegant courtyard that the housekeeper summoned the two maids: "Madame, please, if there are any orders, I will tell these two maids to do them." Outside is the back garden, where the lady can go and visit in her spare time. If you want to get out of the house, just talk to the porter. ”
Whether it is a guest or a distinguished guest, the housekeeper is not easy to hold.
Mu Ling nodded, this housekeeper is very good at dealing with it, and he is also a delicate character: "I've worked hard as a housekeeper, I don't have anything to do." It's just that when I first came here, I was very interested in the fruits here, and if it was convenient, please help me buy some fruits to put away, and I will eat some when I have nothing to do. ”
"Forehead......" The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "If Madame wants to eat fruit, why do you need to buy it!" There is an orchard in the lord's mansion, and there are fruits in the present, and if the lady has nothing to do, she can go and pick some of them, and use them as a pastime. ”
"Really?" Mu Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he remembered what he had heard outside before, that this fruit was still good for the City Lord's Mansion, so he looked forward to it more and more, "So I'll take the trouble to guide the way, find me a basket, and I'll pick some." ”
The housekeeper smiled and called the two maids: "Lead the way for Mrs. and accompany Mrs. to the orchard to play for a while." ”
It's afternoon, the sun is gone, and the orchard is full of greenery, which is a cool place.
Mu Ling is very happy, this experience of picking fruits in the orchard is also a very luxurious thing in modern times, and now it is not bad to be able to do it as you like.
The two maids led her to the orchard, took two baskets at the gate of the garden, and put a pair of scissors in the baskets.
Mu Ling glanced at it, paused and said, "What kind of fruit are there in this courtyard now?" ”
"Mrs. Hui, the ripe fruits nowadays include longan, mango, pineapple, watermelon and melon."
"Oh." Mu Ling nodded, they were all ordinary, but they could be taken a look.
Walking through the garden, the first thing that catches your eye is the tall longan tree, which has a good knot. The longan on the low branch has been almost plucked, and the rest is in a high place, and it cannot be picked by reaching out.
There are not many longan trees, there are only seven or eight in total, but they are well served, and each one is full of longan and grows very luxuriantly.
Mu Ling looked up, patted the trunk of the tree, suddenly lifted his breath, and walked up quickly with his feet on the trunk, like a wall on the eaves, and stepped neatly on the first branch that stretched out.
The two maids were dumbfounded, and it took a long time to come back to their senses: "Madam, be careful." ”
"It's okay, you can pick up fruit for me down there." Mu Ling smiled, in a good mood to assign tasks.
