Chapter 216 The State Mansion

In addition to a few maids, Huo Roufeng also brought one person, and that was Bi Daoyuan.

In fact, what she wanted to bring more was Hua Sanniang, but she didn't know where Hua Sanniang had gone, she hadn't appeared in Shuangjing Hutong for a few days, so Huo Roufeng had to let Bi Daoyuan go with her.

Bi Daoyuan has a disabled leg and is not good at walking, and he has hardly left Shuangjing Hutong after arriving in the capital, so no one knows him.

He walked out of the gate on crutches and was supported by two little servants, even the Huo family's disciples didn't know him, and asked Cai Qin which one this was, Cai Qin said coldly: "You can also ask about the Ninth Master?" ”

Menzi shrunk his neck, not daring to ask again. The celery girl beside the ninth master is even bigger than the ninth master's temper.

The three sedan chairs stopped in front of the Guogong Mansion, and the little guy went over to hand over the name post, this little guy was bought by the Huo family after coming to the capital, and he has been serving by Bi Daoyuan's side.

Menzi took the name card and went in, but he didn't come out for a long time.

Bi Daoyuan was a little helpless, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Ninth Master, so he came to this Guogong Mansion, but what was written on the name card was the name of Dr. Roger.

After a full half of the incense, the side door of the Guogong Mansion reopened, and this time out was an old man with gray hair, who asked with a mouthful of Beijing films, "Which one is Dr. Luo?" ”

Bi Daoyuan walked over with the help of the little maid, and Huo Roufeng and Cai Qin followed behind him along with the other two girls.

Bi Daoyuan hugged his fist at the old man: "The student is Roger." ”

The old man looked him up and down, frowned, and said, "Are you Roger?" Why are you so old? ”

Bi Daoyuan has seen Roger, he is indeed older than Dr. Roger, but when this was said by an old man, he was still very uncomfortable, no matter how old I am, I am not as old as you.

But he could only say helplessly: "The student has been obsessed for dozens of years." ”

The old man's face turned cold, and he waved at Bi Daoyuan: "The second master is not in the mansion, please go back." ”

Bi Daoyuan was stunned, he thought that he would be able to go in this way, but he didn't expect to send him away, he was about to speak, a white little hand stretched out from behind him, he suddenly smelled a burst of sweet fruit, and was about to look back, when he heard Huo Roufeng say: "Old man, take this thing in and show it to those who know the goods, and see if it was lost by your mansion." ”

The old man was stunned, and was about to ask again, but he saw that the crystal monkey in the maid's hand was crystal clear, not like something that could be seen ordinarily, could it be the eldest princess's thing?

He didn't dare to slack off, took the crystal monkey and flashed in, and the door slammed shut.

This time it was much faster than the last one, and it was only half a cup of tea, and the old man opened the side door breathlessly, and looked like he had been running all the way.

Huo Roufeng's small mouth opened and a cheerful smile bloomed.

Sure enough, sure enough, in this lifeless-looking Guogong Mansion, there is really a person who knows the goods.

Walking into the Guogong Mansion, Huo Roufeng couldn't help but feel emotional.

She still remembers that this mansion was originally the county palace of the previous dynasty, and when her mother gave this mansion to the Duke of Min, the courtiers also had objections, saying that this mansion was originally a palace, even if the court was changed according to the system, but the area was still very large, and it was not in line with the etiquette as a national mansion.

Later, Min Guogong himself also went to the fold, and his mother ordered a part of the house to be carved out, and later built a road, and on the opposite side of the road was the house of several civil officials, and later took a new name, Wensheng Hutong.

But after more than 100 years, the Zhan family did not live in the Guogong Mansion of Wensheng Hutong anymore, the house has been empty, several civil officials on the opposite side of the Hutong did not know what to do after the death of the female emperor, their mansion changed a few hands, to now, the people who live there are ordinary people, Huo Roufeng heard Huangling said, in the two houses, and even more than a dozen households lived at the same time, it has become a miscellaneous courtyard, and the name of Wensheng Hutong is no longer mentioned, now the people in the capital call this Walnut Hutong, it is said that it is named after a few walnut trees at the mouth of the Hutong.

Huo Roufeng decided to come to the Guogong Mansion, and asked several people in the mansion, but no one knew Wensheng Hutong, or Huangling went out for a while, only to find out that the Minguo Mansion is located in Walnut Hutong, as for the fact that Walnut Hutong was called Wensheng Hutong before, I'm afraid only Huo Roufeng knows.

For more than 100 years, the Minguo Mansion in Walnut Hutong has only seen the people in the house, and the door is closed on weekdays, and occasionally the people of the Zhanjia family are ordered to enter Beijing, and they will see people coming in and out here.

It wasn't until recent years that the eldest princess stayed in the capital, and the Min Mansion was popular, otherwise the people in the capital would soon forget that there was another Guogong Mansion.

Huo Roufeng and a few people followed the old man in, and a stout woman drove over with a green oil car, Bi Daoyuan got into one car, and Huo Roufeng and the maids got in another.

Cai Qin smacked her tongue quietly and said to Huo Roufeng: "This Guogong Mansion is really big enough, when the slave maid was in Hangzhou, she thought that the house in Liuxi Lane was big enough, but she didn't have to take a car in the mansion." ”

Huo Roufeng whispered: "The Guogong Mansion is built according to the system, and the number of houses occupied is the system to follow, except for the palace, which is the largest in the Guogong Mansion, no matter how magnificent our house is, it can't surpass them." ”

Cai Qin nodded again and again, and quickly said: "It's a pity that such a big place, everywhere is deserted, we can't even see a shadow of a person along the way, which is like our house, call within a few steps, and someone will answer immediately." ”

Needless to say, Huo Roufeng also discovered that although this Guogong Mansion is still magnificent, and every grass, tree, and scene is properly taken care of, but as Cai Qin said, everything is deserted, and where they pass, they can't even see a single person.

I think that the exhibition horse is also a person who doesn't like to be lively, but he can't even see people, doesn't he usually need people to serve?

Huo Roufeng shook his head while thinking, and then poked his head out of the green oil car, looking at the scenery outside, he felt a little more depressed.

The green oil cart stopped in front of a courtyard, and the healthy woman who drove the car did not go far, but waited under a ginkgo tree not far away.

The old man led them into the courtyard, and there was a hall in the courtyard, and the old man told them to wait in the hall, and he went inside.

Huo Roufeng looked up and saw that there was only an old rosewood table in the hall, and there was not even a chair in the hall.

Bi Daoyuan shook his head, the layout here is too shabby, although it is not the permanent residence of the Zhan family, but this is the Guogong Mansion after all, why does it look like it is about to be sold out?
