The newly purchased house is in Shengye Fang, separated by two alleys is the lively East Market, Guangdan and Zhu Ling a few young people gathered by the window in surprise to look at the lively street market outside, staring at the Hu merchants and all kinds of shops coming and going on the side of the market.

Zheng's mother was angry and funny: "Let's be more restrained, and carefully teach people to see the jokes." ”

Xiao Rongyue looked at the Chang'an Street Market, and slowly smiled: "This place is good." ”

Shengye Fang is adjacent to Anxing Fang in Ruyang Houfu, and she is only one step away from Meng Yu.

But how do you take this step?

The house is not big with three in and three out, it looks like it has been some years, a bamboo forest in the courtyard grows very well, lush and verdant, there is a table of couches for the game in the small pavilion under the bamboo forest, the small pool next to it is crystal clear, a group of koi fish wagged their tails and freely swirled in three or two lotus leaves, Xiao Rongyue sat down in the small pavilion, let Sanqi go to pour tea, and called Acrylic and Liu An to come over.

"You two did a good job, I'm satisfied." She lazily looked at the koi in the pool, "But this is just the beginning. ”

Liu An and Acrylic are both very shrewd, and they are busy: "Listen to the lady's orders." ”

"In the past, Steward Liu was helping to take care of the grange, this time I think it is Qu Cai, you have arranged the general affairs all the way very well, and in the future, this house will be sent out, and the purchase and purchase will be handed over to you." She looked at Liu An, "Just remember the same, money doesn't matter to me, but I have to be clear and can't be a little confused." ”

Liu An's face tightened, and he hurriedly bowed down: "Oh." "It's just that my heart is pounding, I can't imagine that the lady will give him the steward of the house, according to the lady's intelligence, I'm afraid that I can't hide anything, I really can't be sloppy.

"The matter in Shanyang was done well before, and your official words are also authentic," Looking at Acrylic again, Xiao Rongyue smiled slightly, "So the Buddha incense shop and the strange goods shop will be handed over to you, just take care of the shop, and if you have any other orders, I will call you again." ”

Acrylic was originally also a merchant at the end of the world, often doing business in Middle-earth and the Western Regions, but after the end was defeated by the Tubo, he also became a homeless person, and was sold to Jiangning Mansion by the Tibetan merchants, only to be bought by Xiao Rongyue, who was originally able to get his life and a place to settle down, was already very content, but he didn't want to be able to get such trust and reuse, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you should try your best to share your worries for your mother."

Xiao Rongyue nodded with a smile, and said to Akeli: "Two days ago, you said that Mrs. Ruyang Hou went to Dayun Temple to offer incense these days, can you go again these days?" You ask people to inquire about the news. ”

"Also, arrange it in the Great Cloud Temple, it would be best if there were a few people inside." Xiao Rongyue continued while pondering.

Dayun Temple is not an ordinary Buddhist temple, it is a royal temple, and His Majesty also wants to go to Dayun Temple from time to time to offer incense, and all the provinces of Chang'an are enshrined in it.

When Akeli and Liu An both went out, Zheng's mother came over: "Lady, I'm just afraid that I have to go to Kou City to pick some more people, and there are still fewer people from Jiangning Mansion, I'm afraid there are not enough people to serve on errands." ”

Xiao Rongyue thought for a while: "Mother can make up her mind about these things, and then the housekeeping in this house will be handed over to my mother, and help me manage them." ”

Mother Zheng hurriedly responded, frowned again and said in a low voice: "There were people from the Du family in several shops in Chang'an before, but now they want to ......."

"Keep it, it's still useful." Xiao Rongyue said lightly, "I'm afraid that Du Sanlang won't give up easily, and he will come to Chang'an in a short time." ”

Du Huo is not a good person, he has long regarded Xiao Rongyue and the Xiao family as things in the bag, and he will not give up easily, he was only forced by the situation to temporarily retreat, once he has the opportunity, he will bite back, this is clear in Xiao's memory, Xiao Rongyue did not intend to let him go easily.

The poisonous snake is still killed to rest assured.

Anxing Fang is not as lively and noisy as Shengye Fang, most of the people who live here are the founding nobles, most of them have won the title, but there are not a few who really go through several generations and are still prosperous, Ruyang Houfu is rare inside, a place occupies a small half of the city, the gatehouse is high and magnificent, and the words of Ruyang Houfu are still shining with gold paint on the plaque.

Xiao Rongyue, who was sitting in the carriage, opened the small half of the curtain and looked at the Hou Mansion not far away, which did not move for a long time, it used to be her home, which contained Meng Yu and her bits and pieces, but now she can only look at it from a distance, and she doesn't even have the identity of the near future.

"Lady......" Sanqi followed her out, looking at her in a trance, her eyes were sad like never before, and she suddenly panicked and hurriedly called.

Xiao Rongyue came back to her senses, smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm just here to take a look." ”

She had no way to explain to Sanqi why she came to the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang, and there was no way to tell her why she was so familiar with this place when she had never been to Chang'an, all this was too bizarre for Sanqi to understand, and Meng Yu was afraid that she couldn't understand it.

The carriage stayed in the alley in front of the Marquis of Ruyang for a long time, Xiao Rongyue just sat and watched for a long time, until she saw that the sky was getting dark and the street drum was about to sound, she retracted her gaze in disappointment, and did not see Meng Yu.

In the past, Meng Yu was always in the study with the staff until he forgot the time, or Dou Mi ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal, and personally took someone to the study, every time she went, Meng Yu would put down the official document in her hand, waved them away, and had a meal quietly with her.

At that time, Dou Mi knew his unwillingness, knew his revenge, and was unwilling to see that the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang was like those families, and after several dynasties, it was in decline after all, but now the situation is extraordinary, the more he tries hard, the more he struggles, the more dangerous it is, Dou Mi persuaded him, why not lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

Meng Yu always frowned, and gently took her into his arms: "I'm just afraid that one day I won't even have the ability to protect you and the Hou Mansion, and at that time, it will be difficult for us to live in peace." ”

She was reluctant, after all, she helped him plan and run, and the situation of the Marquis of Ruyang finally improved, but it was a pity that she couldn't accompany him for more time and "died".

Every time she thinks of this, her heart is like a knife, I don't know if he was in such a mood when Dou Mi, who was in a coma that day, was sent back from the East Palace, how he endured the heartache these days, and whether he was also like her, tormented and helpless.

She turned her head and instructed Sanqi: "Let's go, go back to Shengye Fang." ”

But at the moment when the curtain was lowered, she was seen by the people riding by outside the carriage, she didn't notice it, but leaned into the carriage with a heavy heart, and staggered out of the alley.
