The location of the Zhao Mansion was far from the court of the Zhou Dynasty, and it took Bao Xi and Twenty-seven to walk quickly for half an hour, and their foreheads were oozing with fine and dense sweat.
Twenty-seven followed behind Bao Xi and trotted from time to time, her heart rumbled like thunder, and she had a lot of worries in her heart, afraid that the Zhao Guild would expel Bao Xi out of the door, and she was also afraid that Ji Gongyan would not be able to wait for Bao Xi and would be suspicious of her.
Twenty-seven trotted and stared carefully at the color of his master's face, pale and flushed, his breath was slightly panting, his lips were still pursed, and his feet did not slow down.
The courtyard of the Zhao Mansion is closed, quiet like an empty thousand-year-old house, and the quiet corridor in front of the door amplifies the sound of pedestrian footsteps.
"Niangniang," Twenty-seven tugged at the placket of Bao Xi's clothes, and the dark sky made it look terrifying. Bao Xi stretched out her hand and tapped lightly on the brass ring on the door, and the heavy yellow brass ring made a crashing sound, and the sound of a long tone through the empty mansion was long.
Bao Xi knocked lightly three times and stood outside the door waiting.
After a long time, the bulky door "creaked" and pulled out a crack, and the people behind the door seemed to be very weak, and it took a lot of effort to open the door, and the faces of the people who came were fair-skinned and polite, and their hair was combed very neatly, and their expressions were peaceful and polite, and there were no angry faces of those courtiers and loyal people, nor the horror of the groveling people.
"Zheng ......" Twenty-seven blurted out and immediately closed his mouth, staring at Zheng Boyou who appeared here with wide eyes, full of amazement that he would appear here.
"Doctor Zheng," Bao Xi spat out to Zheng Boyou, her tone was gentle, her voice was quiet, and she looked at Zheng Boyou's soft face, like a woman next door, not like a court concubine, "Please inform Zhao Gong, Bao Xi has important matters to discuss." ”
Zheng Boyou raised his eyes and looked at Bao Xi, nodded slightly, did not respond, and then closed the door and turned back to the inner hall, and after a while, Uncle Zhao walked out of the door, cold-eyed and unsmiling like a child, but for him it was no longer the niece he was back then.
"Uncle," Bao Xi bowed slightly, in order to show the respect of the younger generation for the elders, and relieved the anger of the Qiongtai Hall that day, and judged the two of them.
This made Uncle Zhao feel shocked, but he still tensed his color and asked, "I don't know if Niangniang came to the cold house, and she missed the welcome." The humble house is simple, so I won't invite the lady to move into it, so as not to surprise you. ”
"Uncle," Bao Xi's voice was more relaxed, so weak that people couldn't ignore it, and even with a shy gesture, like the younger generation to the elder, her face was pear blossom with rain, and her eyes were full of tears, crystal clear.
"Come in......" Uncle Zhao finally couldn't give up his heart.
Bao Xi took a step into the Zhao Gong Mansion, this mansion can almost be described as small, the courtyard is not magnificent at all, just occupying one or two points of land, planting some flowers and plants, if it is a cold house, it is really in vain.
The grass hut above the lobby can only shelter from the torrential rain, and the surrounding walls cannot withstand the raging wind, and the infiltration of rainwater makes the house damp.
The Zhao family is a big family in the Zhao country, and the princes of the Zhao country have been assisting the princes of the Zhao country for a hundred years, and the Zhao uncle is not a descendant, nor is he the suzerain of the Zhao family, but because Zhao Shudao has intersected with the princes for many years and was introduced as a guest, and he was quite supported by the courtiers in the court, and he was upright, so he was highly courteous in the Zhao country, and he was respected in and out.
