Chapter 13: The Inner House

The first time he entered the inner house, Shi Zhongyu deeply realized the greatness of Yuwang's Mansion.

Only the road leading to the verandah through the mountain runs through the three tiger gatehouses, and there are three stone steps under the gatehouse, which are carved with patterns according to the regulations, implying that they are ascending step by step.

Shi Zhongyu's sharp eyes found the lines on the stone steps that were less than 10,000 words, and felt that His Royal Highness King Yu was really lawless to the extreme. If she remembered correctly, Niu Man had told her that this kind of pattern could only be used in royal temples and palaces, and he actually blatantly carved it on the steps of his house.

This made her feel the distant but real danger, now His Royal Highness King Yu is in full swing, the emperor may not care about all his nonsense, but in case he falls out of favor one day, let someone with a heart on a copy, maybe he will raid his house and cut off his head. It doesn't matter if he lives or dies, but it's really full of punishment, and her little family can't escape.

Finally reborn, she is planning to live a good life, so that she is worthy of her father who is far away in another time and space, how can she be affected casually. It's better to find a way to make more money, and if you can redeem yourself earlier, you can stay away from it. She entered the palace to escape the pursuit, and it was almost the same as jumping into the fire pit.

"Keep up." Sun Fuheng personally brought Shi Zhongyu here, and when he saw that she was a little stunned, he couldn't help but remind in a low voice.

Shi Zhongyu hurriedly restrained his emotions and continued to move forward.

The courtyard of the verandah through the mountain is a courtyard connecting the outer house and the inner house, there is no room, and there are no people, but there is a sturdy mother-in-law to guard it, seeing Sun Fuheng bring a small family to come, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and let go after a little questioning.

Then, through the three hanging flower gates, all are the shape of the lotus flower in the shape of a vertical column, one is the bud to be released, the second is the stamen, and the third is the seed full of lotus flowers, which may be the meaning of praying for elegance and holiness, fertility and blessings. The drum stone in front of the door is carved with treasure flowers and lion rolling hydrangea, and even the arch of the door post is carved with a peaceful and auspicious pattern.

This is the so-called low-key luxury! It seems that the whole palace is square, there are no pavilions, just ordinary northern quadruple buildings, but just one door is so exquisite. What's more, Shi Zhongyu was surprised to find that there were relatively advanced drainage facilities in the corners of the ground, and there were also carvings on the roof of the house, and the details revealed the royal style.

According to the custom of men on the left and women on the right, the eaves on the right are carved with the pattern of phoenix opera and fairy peaches, which should be the place to entertain female guests. And the house with the pattern of three halberds inserted in the carved vase should belong to the man. It's just that King Yu is already below the two and above the others, and he has to be promoted to three levels in a row, doesn't this show that he has a heart of disobedience?

"Here we are." Sun Fuheng took Shi Zhongyu into a huge courtyard.

The southeast and southwest corners of this courtyard are equipped with auspicious small gates, which are connected with the side courtyard and the Yongdao, the whole courtyard is surrounded by four corridors, except for the place where the green bricks are laid by two feet square, they are planted with flowerless leaf green plants, and when they enter this courtyard in the middle of summer, they feel quiet and quiet, and there is a unique sense of dignity.

The main room is the double-ridged mandarin duck hall, five rooms wide, two rooms deep, after Sun and Shi entered the hospital, there was a little girl who knew the opportunity to run in and pass it on. After a while, a slender and delicately dressed big girl walked out and said gently, "Steward Sun, Mrs. Fan is invited." ”

"Thank you, Miss Bai Zhi." Sun Fuheng was neither humble nor arrogant, nor could he see any emotion, so he gave a slight salute and entered with Shi Zhongyu.

Even a maid is like a well-informed lady, this lady is so magnificent.

Shi Zhongyu thought about it, and immediately lowered his head and eyes, behaving in a proper manner. But maybe a little nervous, she stumbled a little on the steps, and the maid named Bai Zhi hurriedly reached out to help her, and shouted, "Little brother, be careful." ”

"Thank you, sister." She thanked her.

"It's okay." Bai Zhi replied with a smile, glanced at Shi Zhongyu deeply, and shook her head secretly.

Shi Zhongyu felt something, but as a member of the outer courtyard, even if he was still young, he couldn't stare at the girl in the inner courtyard, so he had to be careful and didn't talk more.

However, when she entered the eaves, she realized that this was not Mrs. Fan's residence, but just a hall, with a carved screen of Huanghuali in front of her, and the style of a gourd for all generations. King Yu is still empty under his knees, and he has no sons and half daughters, and it seems that Mrs. Fan is very anxious, because this kind of screen is really a bit old for a young woman, but the meaning is very good...... There are many gourds.

Behind the screen, it should be Mrs. Fan's residence. There was a big room on the left and right sides of the screen, and Bai Zhi took Shi Zhongyu and Sun Fuheng into the small living room on the left, and then quietly closed the door of the room and guarded the door.

Shi Zhongyu didn't dare to look around, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person kneeling on the ground, it was Fan Tong. At this time, Fan Tong looked ridiculous and pitiful, with a splint on his shoulder, and his broken face was swollen like a pig's head.

Whew, it's really relieving to watch.

"Small jade in the stone, see Mrs. Fan." After Sun Fuheng saluted and said hello, Shi Zhongyu hurriedly knelt down.

Grandma's, these etiquettes have been learned when I entered the house training, but it is really troublesome to always kneel around.

"Raise your head and let me see." A cold and dignified voice sounded.

Shi Zhongyu obediently complied.

But the first thing that caught my eye was actually Wei Suo, the chief housekeeper of the inner courtyard, and I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable for a while.

Sun Fuheng had already pointed out her last night, and this matter should not be a big deal. Therefore, it is understandable that Madame Fan summoned her at noon today. After all, there are fewer people at this time. If you come in the morning, it is really not a good time to have a lot of daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law waiting to get things back and receive things. And although Wei Zuo is the housekeeper of the inner court, after all, he is a man, and he just stays behind Mrs. Fan like a dog, and he actually learned the inside story and participated in the trial, which shows that Mrs. Fan's trust in him is not ordinary.

Will...... Adultery?

Thinking of this, Shi Zhongyu's gaze swept over Mrs. Fan's face, and then she lowered her head pretending to be afraid, and immediately rejected the shameless idea just now. Wei Suo wanted to cuckold King Yu, but the grade was obviously not enough.

Mrs. Fan is not a beauty, but she has an outstanding temperament. Noble and elegant, very bookish, but also with a bit of the majesty and sense of superiority of a manager, just like a modern female white-collar worker in the top management.

Her makeup is delicate and flawless, with a tilted bun, a light blue yarn flower on the sideburns, a sapphire lotus-shaped gold hairpin, and a bead-shaped bracelet. He was wearing a rose purple peony pattern placket and a jade pigmented satin skirt. Because he was sitting, he showed a pair of roses and purple embroidered shoes.

Such a luxurious and undazzling outfit fits well with the aura of the entire palace, and it makes Shi Zhongyu, who is wearing a gray family clothes, look like a timid and cowardly little mouse.

"Your name is Shi Zhongyu?" Mrs. Fan asked indifferently.

What a model of a lady! No matter the sitting posture, behavior, attitude, facial expression, or speaking voice, they are all so just right, adding one point is excessive, and subtracting one point is insufficient, just like a textbook, people can't find the slightest mistake. But why, Shi Zhongyu felt that Mrs. Fan hated her? Or maybe it's just a woman's intuition.

"Mrs. Hui, yes." She was very careful.

"Sure enough, it's a little girl like a girl." Madame Fan seemed to sigh with pity, "Tell me carefully about last night's incident, don't be afraid." The palace has its own rules, and if he makes a mistake, no matter who he is, he must also be served by the family law. ”

How does this sound a bit threatening?

Shi Zhongyu had a bad feeling, so slowly, quietly, told all the manuscripts that had been typed in the morning, trying to only depict the facts, highlighting Fan Tong's shamelessness and his own innocence, and did not mention His Royal Highness King Yu.

Mrs. Fan listened without saying a word, Fan Tong didn't even dare to breathe, and Wei Suo and Sun Fuheng didn't make any sound. In the silent living room, only Shi Zhongyu's voice echoed, which almost became her great psychological pressure, and then she almost couldn't speak. She guessed that this was what Madame Fan meant, right? Let her be timid and less arrogant first.

This shows that Mrs. Fan is tendentious, and this dead woman named Zhao Bifan doesn't want to make decisions for her.

Sure enough, after she finished speaking, Zhao Bifan didn't say anything, which made the air in the room even more depressing. But since Shi Zhongyu saw a clue, he naturally had a countermeasure. She deliberately appeared to be on her knees, revealing a pitiful look of fear and wrongdoing.

This is called showing weakness.

In order to survive safely and smoothly in the palace, it is best not to provoke when there is no strength, if everyone treats her as a wreck, she will not be deliberately targeted. At the moment when she touches her bottom, she is not afraid of eggs hitting stones, but if it is not necessary, she still wants to hatch chicks smoothly, and finally stage a play "Chick Run".

"It's worth it!" Zhao Bifan looked at Shi Zhongyu's reaction with satisfaction, and finally spoke up, "This is Yuwang Mansion, not those dirty and lowly places outside, someone actually did this kind of thing and spread it, where does the face of the palace exist?" Obviously reprimanding others, her voice is still elegant, but the cold feeling makes people feel weak.

Wei Suo observed the words, immediately stepped forward, and knelt down, "Madam Fan, yesterday His Highness's dojo ordered by Qing Xiu has been repaired, His Highness is happy, so he rewarded the people in the outer courtyard with a few tables of wine. This Fan Tong, who was originally the nephew of the slave, thought that he had a merit in building the dojo, so he drank a few more glasses, but he met Shi Zhongyu, who was wandering to the garden at night, and he was not virtuous after drinking, so he did this kind of thing. As his maternal uncle, the slave regretted it bitterly, begged his wife to punish this son severely, and then begged his wife to condemn the slave. After all, it is also a dereliction of duty for a slave to neglect discipline. ”

Shi Zhongyu listened from the sidelines and almost exploded.

Wei Suo is really good at talking, obviously Fan Tong is shameless and damned, but he said that he was drunk and immoral. This sin is greatly lightened. In addition to the words, he said that this wine was given by His Royal Highness King Yu, and said that Fan Tong worked hard to build the dojo and clearly asked for a heavy punishment, but secretly pointed out that Fan Tong's merits were greater than his faults, and the lead was still the wine given from above. If you really beat Fan Tong to death, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of His Highness?

Moreover, although Fan Tong is his nephew, he is the steward of the outer court after all. All of his uncles came out to receive the punishment, what did Sun Fuheng, who was the head of the outer courtyard, say?

The most important thing is that she Shi Zhongyu was not staying in the courtyard of the house so late, but she ran to the garden, didn't she ask for hardship? Doesn't this mean that if there is a rapist, it is not the fault of the criminal, but the victim is to blame for appearing in front of the criminal?
