Chapter 72: The Marquis of Xiangping's Mansion

It's good that the next few days will be fine.

Xia Chutao was originally worried about what waves Yin Niang could set off for herself, but fortunately, she could be regarded as a good person during this period of time.

At the beginning of the summer, Tao saw that there was nothing to do, and the days were going on as usual, and this time it was time to go to the Xiangping Marquis Mansion.

"Peach, it's already three poles in the sun, why are you still lying in bed. I see you're getting lazy all this time. ”

Xia Chutao blinked her worried eyes and looked at Fu Rin, who was standing at the door with some dissatisfaction on his face.

Looking at Fu Rin's appearance, she had already been prepared, so she just waited for her.

Xia Chutao could only reluctantly get out of his bed and yawn slowly.

"Okay, okay, can't I get up......"

Xia Chutao had already accepted the fact that she had to go to the Xiangping Marquis Mansion, and Fu Rin didn't resist much when she came to catch her early in the morning.

At the beginning of the summer, Tao got up and dressed up, dressed delicately and considerately, and then followed Fu Rin out.

At this time, Qiaoyun hurriedly followed with steps, and then stuffed a soup woman into Xia Chutao's hand,

"The little lady is cold and afraid of the cold, and it is getting cold day by day, so it's better to bring one."

"This ......"

At the beginning of summer, Tao looked at the soup woman in his hand with some embarrassment, and looked at the autumn colors in his yard, although the weather was already a little cold, but it seemed that it was far from being like this.

"Forget it, since the maid at the bottom has been prepared, you can bring it."

This time. Fu Rin on the side spoke. As he spoke, he touched Xia Chutao's hand, frowning,

"Look, the hands are cold."

"Okay."

Seeing Fu Rin say this, Xia Chutao had no choice but to obediently wear the soup woman and kick it into his clothes, and hold it honestly.

After everything was ready, Xia Chutao followed Fu Rin out.

As soon as the gate of the General's Mansion opened, the procession to the Xiangping Marquis Mansion went out in a mighty manner.

Xia Chutao had seen it before, and the ones who followed the team were all congratulatory gifts to the Xiangping Marquis Mansion. Before today, Fu Rin also spent a lot of thought in order to pick these congratulatory gifts, which shows that he paid more attention to going to the Xiangping Marquis Mansion today.

Such a spectacular procession went out, and many people on the street stopped and watched.

"It's not the general's wife sitting in the carriage, is it?"

"What are you going to do? Why is there a concubine in such a posture? ”

"Haven't you heard? The general is an extremely spoiled concubine. I heard that I was going to Xiangping Hou's Mansion today, and I brought it with me, so it can be seen that the previous rumors are true. ”

Many people at the gate were whispering, Xia Chutao's carriage was not far from these people, so they could hear it clearly.

She glanced at Fu Rin with mixed feelings, but found that his face was very calm. Even in the carriage, he closed his eyes and recuperated as if he had heard nothing.

Xia Chutao's heart was a little depressed, these people outside didn't know the specific situation, and what they said still made her feel a little unhappy.

She couldn't help but pout, a little aggrieved.

"Why do you care so much about what they say? Wouldn't it be nice to put the curtains down. ”

At this time, Fu Rin, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, opened his mouth to say this, and his voice was faint.

"When will the mouth of the people be blocked? Just don't listen. ”

"Whew......"

Xia Chutao listened to Fu Rin's words and put down her curtains,

But she is still very unwilling in her heart: it is not your reputation that is ruined by this matter, of course you don't care......

Xia Chutao couldn't help but break her thoughts in her heart.

But she could only sit honestly in the carriage and swayed towards the Xiangping Marquis Mansion.

In the end, they are all big families in the capital, and the Xiangping Marquis Mansion is only about half an hour away from the General's Mansion by carriage.

Xia Chutao squinted leisurely in the carriage, and soon arrived.

She got out of the carriage with Fu Rin's support, and saw that there was already a queue of people waiting at the gate of the Xiangping Marquis Mansion.

In the end, the Marquis of Xiangping is also a more powerful marquis in front of the emperor, according to the background of this game, it seems that he has fought side by side with Fu Rin's father on the battlefield several times, and he is a decent person.

Such a noble marquis naturally has a rather magnificent mansion.

At the beginning of summer, when Tao stood at the door and looked at the eaves behind the wall, he could think of how exquisite and magnificent the pavilions and pavilions were behind the thick door.

I can no longer see people standing in front of the house, both men and women, all dressed in jewelry.

Xia Chutao subconsciously looked for someone who looked similar to Fu Rin in this group of people, but after a careful look, he didn't see it.

Xia Chutao couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth quietly and asked,

"Fu Rin, which one is your sister?"

Fu Rin frowned slightly, looked at Xia Chutao beside him, and said without the slightest fluctuation in his voice,

"She's not in there."

"Oh......"

Xia Chutao had some small losses in her heart, she originally thought about the good-looking characters that Fu Rin said, then his sister must not be far behind.

But among the stubble people standing like this at the gate of the mansion, there is no Fu Qingru?

This really made Xia Chutao feel a little surprised, no matter how Fu Qingru is also a concubine, no matter how you say it, you have to be qualified to stand at the gate to greet your family, right?

I still had doubts in my heart when I went down to the kitchen, but the person had already followed Fu Rin to the door, and at a glance, most of the people in the center of the gate were Xiangping Hou, yes.

"Xiangping Hou."

Fu Rin stepped forward and gave Xiangping Hou a fist very politely.

“…… the groove. ”

Xia Chutao couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

She followed Fu Rin to the front of Xiangping Hou, and only then did she recognize that this Xiangping Hou was not the first man to bid for the armor in the Treasure Pavilion that day?

No wonder he was also so interested in that armor, it turned out to be Wuhou Xiangpinghou!

Xia Chutao was a little nervous, and began to frantically think about whether she had made eye contact with him that day.

She was afraid that Xiangping Hou would recognize her, so in this case, the surprise she had carefully arranged before would have no meaning.

"General, ......"

Xiangping Hou also replied respectfully, but when his eyes fell on Xia Chutao, he seemed a little hesitant.

Xia Chutao's gaze frantically dodged, she was afraid that Xiangpinghou's reaction was because she had an impression of herself.

"Why don't you see Mrs. Manchun?"

Xia Chu Tao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seemed that this Xiangping Hou didn't recognize her.

"Oh, like that. Madame is ill today and can't come. This is my concubine, Xia. ”

"O'...... This is Xia Xiaoniang. ”

Xiangpinghou suddenly brightened up, and couldn't help but laugh a few times.

"The general had a rumor of a beautiful concubine before, but it was rumored in the capital, and it was better to see it than to hear it! Xia Xiaoniang is really a beautiful country. ”

Hearing Xiangping Hou say this, Xia Chutao hurriedly saluted Xiangping Hou,

"Master Hou praised it falsely."

At this time, Xia Chutao raised his head, but saw that the faces of the two women standing beside Xiangping Hou were not particularly good-looking, and the vague gazes of the two of them swept over Xia Chutao from time to time, with a little contempt.

These two women Xia Chutao had already done their homework, and the one who wore a blue shirt and looked quite noble was the Zhao family, the government man of Xiangping Hou, who was an unknown little county lord in the palace before marrying Xiangping Hou.

If it was the Zhao family, it would be okay, but the bewitching and mean-looking purple-clothed woman Liu around the Zhao family was brought back by Xiangping Hou from the hook bar.

Xia Chutao really didn't know such an identity, and what qualifications were higher than her, so she dared to look at herself with such contempt and disdain.

Xia Chutao couldn't help but roll her eyes in secret.

"The general has a heart all the way over, everyone don't go up to the door with a pestle, hurry up and go in and sit."

At this time, the Zhao family spoke up, and welcomed Xia Chutao and Fu Rin into the mansion with a smile on his face.

The Xiangping Marquis Mansion is really magnanimous, and Xia Chutao followed him all the way in and saw a lot of strange things.

The team kept walking inside, Fu Rin and Xiangping Hou were at the front, as if they were discussing something.

Xia Chutao was parallel to the Zhao family and the Liu family, but it seemed that these two people were not very happy to talk to Xia Chutao, so they were speechless along the way.

When the bored Xia Chutao passed by a huge rockery, his eyes glanced inadvertently, as if he saw a figure flashing behind the rockery.

Xia Chutao looked carefully, but saw a woman rushing out from behind the rockery, but she was quickly dragged back.

The woman seemed to be trying her best to say something, but the person behind her covered her mouth tightly, and she could only stare at the crowd slowly passing in front of the rockery.

"What's going on?"

Xia Chutao felt puzzled in her heart, but she looked at the people around her who still didn't change their faces, and they talked and laughed freely.

It seems that only Xia Chutao saw the scene just now......

At the beginning of summer, Tao slowed down his pace and was very concerned about the situation behind the rockery.

"What's wrong with Xia Xiaoniang?"

But Zhao stepped forward and drove to Xia Chutao's side, she just stood like this, but it just blocked Xia Chutao's vision behind the rockery.

Xia Chutao saw Zhao like this, and smiled with relief,

"It's okay, I just look at it and think this rockery is quite spectacular, and I can't help but take a few more looks."

"Oh, this one."

Zhao also smiled, with a somewhat smug tone.

"This rockery is from the emperor's painting."

At that time, the emperor drew a picture of the house, and it was directly rewarded to the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye asked someone to build this Hou Mansion according to the appearance in the painting. This rockery alone took a group of skilled craftsmen a month. ”

"Really...... It's really unusual, it's spectacular. ”

At the beginning of summer, Tao smiled, and his eyes still crossed the rockery from time to time.

She wanted to know who the woman behind the rockery was, but she still had to follow the crowd forward, and the rockery soon fell behind her.
