Chapter 16: First Sight
Although Su Xian was a little annoyed, he didn't dare to attack. This place is already very close to the capital, and he doesn't dare to offend the characters in the capital.
I can only take the whole family, young and old, get off the boat and walk on this passage.
The road is a bit muddy, and you can even smell the pungent fishy smell.
When everyone had disembarked, the carriages that had been waiting for them were ready, and they were squeezed into the uneven aisle, and the servants were carrying their luggage to the carriage.
At this time, in front of the exit of the dock, which was obviously much cleaner and smoother, there were neatly lined up with wide carriages led by two large horses.
There are more than 100 of them!
From the northernmost part of the pier, the mighty line is lined up, all the way to the south, a little too long to see clearly.
A group of well-trained men dressed like soldiers were carrying things unsteadily towards the carts of the horses.
Among them, a carriage stands out, led by four tall horses in bright red colors.
The entire carriage is made of pear blossom wood painted with the finest lacquer. The carvings are fine, even the wheels are carved with patterns, and the silk gray green silk veils are hung around them.
It was seven feet high, eight feet long, and five feet wide! There is a string of signs hanging on one side of the roof, the bottom is a bell, and there is a round wooden sign in the middle, the wooden card is blown up by the wind and turned left and right, with a jingling bell, you can faintly see a word - "Gu"
Everyone in the Su family was dumbfounded for a while, and at this time they only felt that they were a dirt bun from the countryside.
Su Xiyan also looked stupid, this carriage is really big! You can let her stand up straight and walk a few steps inside, right?
At this time, the opposite team should be in order and about to set off, just listen to an order.
"Up!"
The voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it had carried some kind of force, so that everyone could hear it clearly.
Then all the grooms whipped in unison!
"Smack-"
The sound reverberates...... Suddenly, there was a sense of oppression that struck the sky.
The horses also seem to be trained, and they are stepping at the same time. Walk slowly forward.
As it started, the green silk curtain of the most luxurious carriage was slightly blown by the wind...
Su Xiyan couldn't see the people inside clearly. It's a little far away, and it should be a man.
For some reason, she seemed to sense the man looking this way too. It's just that when Su Xiyan came back to his senses, the convoy on the opposite side had already gone away...
After seeing what the big people in the capital were, the Su family all sat in the carriage hired by the Su Mansion.
In the carriage, Xiao Yu said excitedly: "Girl, do you know which nobleman's convoy it was just now!" ”
Su Xiyan shook her head, how could she know. Su Manning, who was in the same car, was also very curious, in the past few days, she had a little understanding of Xiaoyu's ability, and she was simply Bai Xiaosheng between them.
Su Manning hurriedly urged: "Tell me quickly, who is it?" It's spectacular! I'll never forget this in my life! ”
Hehe, Xiao Yu posed in a storytelling posture, coughed lightly and said long: "Ahem!" Speaking of which, the train fleet just now must have made great achievements! Known as the god of war, General Gu! This General Gu went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen and almost never lost a battle! If it weren't for General Gu's pacification of the eastern border and the border defense of South Vietnam over the years, the people at that end would not know how much hardship they would have to suffer! ”
Speaking of this little fish, he suddenly spoke with some sad emotions, sighed and continued:
"As far as Xiao Yu knows, General Gu's father is also a general! It's still a rare prince with a different surname... Titled King of Beiding. Mother is the princess of the Northern Desert! Unfortunately, a few years ago, for some reason, both of them passed away one after another, leaving only General Gu alone. ”
"Eh, but General Gu's father made the prince, why didn't General Gu attack the lord?"
This is Su Manning's maid Luo Mei asked, they have been staying together every day for the past few days, and the master and servant are not so different.
"I don't know about this, it should be that General Gu is not uncommon, right? Half of the country's military power is in the hands of General Gu, what's good about being a prince. ”
Xiaoyu disagreed.
After listening to Xiaoyu's explanation, Su Xiyan gave Xiaoyu a thumbs up with great admiration and praised: "Xiaoyu, you are so amazing." ”
Xiao Yu smiled proudly and said, "Girl, what is this, I also know that General Gu is very good-looking and very rich!" It is...... There is something odd about the temper. ”
With an eccentric temper, would it be weirder than her grandfather? Su Xiyan thought so.
Su Manning said: "I know this, I didn't know that it was the Gu family's team, but I heard other ladies talk about it when I participated in the flower viewing party before." ”
She lowered her voice, "It is said that this general is very short-tempered, he kills people without blinking, and he doesn't even show mercy to women!" That girl's sister was secretly sent to the Gu Mansion, gouged out her eyes, killed and brought it out! ”
Su Xiyan is a spirit!
She plans to stop the two of them from continuing to talk, this wall has ears, and they should talk less about this big man who can't be provoked!
…
Beijing, Gu Mansion.
In a large and gorgeous room.
Gu Qianye was dressed in a black robe, leaning lazily on a soft chair, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her long eyelashes trembled and trembled, as if she was thinking about something.
A finely crafted wax lamp hung on the roof, and the light fell on the bridge of his nose in a beautiful arc, his left hand resting on his cheek, and his right hand was playing with a silver wrench.
Baili knelt on one knee on the ground, looking at this master who had served from childhood to adulthood, and no matter how long he looked at it, he still felt terrible.
Respectfully replied, "Master, the informant who was broken off before got in touch a few days ago and confirmed that it was the small convoy on the dock. ”
"Really?"
Gu Qianye's voice was still so unslow, with a hint of laziness.
"It seems that this girl is really close to me?"
Gu Qianye's good-looking lips showed an arc and continued:
"Send someone to keep watching."
At this time, after driving the carriage for two days in a row, the carriage finally arrived in front of the new Sufu gate.
This is much smaller than the previous Su Mansion, after all, this is the capital, a place where every inch of land is valuable, and it is already very good to have such a large mansion.
Most of the palaces of the Kyo officials were directly rewarded by the royal family, so they basically did not need to be renovated, but only cleaned up.
The servants of the Su Mansion who had entered Beijing earlier had already cleaned the mansion, and people were moving the luggage in the carriage into the mansion one after another.
In order to remember the convenience, each courtyard still decided to remember the name of the courtyard in the previous Su Mansion, and arranged the distribution of the courtyard half a month ago.
Su Xiyan was arranged later, and the courtyards in front of it already had owners, and only one courtyard was left in the corner of the west wall.
Because Su Xiyan was in the limelight twice before, the old lady still gave her two rough maids and a cook to give her a good face, saying that when she settled down, she would ask someone to pick a new maid for her.
In this way, plus her a total of five people, they walked for almost a quarter of an hour before they arrived in front of the courtyard in the far west corner.
