Chapter 575: Zhenguo Mansion
It's already July, and there is less wind and sand in the northwest, but people who are exposed to the hot sun don't want to go out.
But how can people who are forced to make ends meet stop moving because of the hot weather?
A caravan selling cotton and silk in Taiyuan entered the city gates.
As soon as he reached the city gate, a coachman jumped out of one of the carriages in the middle, thanked the leader of the caravan, and gave him some pieces of silver, and was about to take his leave.
The leader asked, "Are you familiar with the place?" Where to go? Do you need me to send someone to escort you? ”
This one is driving the car, and it is the little parrot, although the secret guard still follows, but after all, it is not an army, and it is easy to reveal his identity.
Li Zhao asked the little parrot to find a caravan to follow, and the caravan also hired people from the dart bureau, and they walked for more than ten years, and they sent money on the way, so they arrived in the city safely.
Their uncle is here in the city, although he doesn't know how to meet, but he definitely doesn't need to be escorted by others.
The little parrot thanked the leader and said, "We are relatives, and the rest know how to go, thank you." ”
The leader bowed his hand, and the caravan went in the direction of the west.
The little parrot returned to the carriage and asked through the curtain: "Madam, let's find the uncle, the little one has to go to the governor's yamen to show his identity first, shall we go now?" ”
Li Zhao said: "Find the Zhenguo Mansion, let's go see the uncle ourselves." ”
Their emperor is powerful, he is no longer the emperor, and he has given himself the title of a general, and he has also been named a town and country, and it is said that he has found an old house as a town and country mansion, which is to be happy.
The little parrot said: "How can you see the uncle if you don't show your identity?" ”
Go directly to the Zhenguo Mansion, after all, it is the place where the emperor lives, and others may not let them see it, just like at the gate of the palace, you say that you are the queen without evidence, and the gatekeeper will not open the door.
Li Zhao said: "It's okay, listen to me." ”
The little parrot sighed and got into the car to find the "Zhenguo Mansion." ”
Aunt Qin said in the car: "Madam, I'm hungry." ”
In order to reduce the burden on the car, their dry food was calculated just right, and they had already eaten nothing.
But it's noon now.
Li Zhao looked at Aunt Qin and said very seriously: "Swallow the mouth and spit on the mat." ”
Aunt Qin: "......"
She was angry and funny, and in the end she didn't make any noise about being hungry.
Aunt Qin said: "We will have food when we see the uncle, but madam, how can you meet the uncle?" ”
Li Zhao nodded and said, "When you arrive, you'll know." ”
In the north of Taiyuan City, there is a building complex, which can no longer be described by a few enters, and it occupies two streets so big.
This is the home of the famous local coal merchant, the Wang family.
The little parrot inquired, although the Wang family is in business, but the nephew of the old lady of the Wang family is Taiyuan Taishou, so it can be regarded as an official family, and the "Zhenguo Mansion" is in this Wang family.
To put it bluntly, the emperor came up, didn't build a house, and the Wang family received it.
Knowing the whereabouts of the Long Live Lord, the little parrot was full of strength and drove the car to the streets of Wang's house.
There is a place to park on the street.
The little parrot stopped the car, and then Li Zhao and Aunt Qin got out of the car.
Li Zhao got out of the car and looked around, the Wang family was indeed big, and the place where they were located seemed to be the back door of the Wang family.
Li Zhao asked the little parrot: "Where is the Zhenguo Mansion?" ”
With such a big house, Yang Houzhao can just take one side, and he can't drive out the Wang family.
The little parrot said: "It is said that the Wang family has a newly built garden, which has Jiangnan pavilions, rare flowers and plants, and the slave maid guesses that our uncle must live there." ”
LI Zhaodao; "Do you know where it is?"
The little parrot nodded: "I've inquired, and at the end of this alley, there is a gatehouse." ”
Li Zhao nodded.
Li Zhao and Aunt Qin walked in front, the little parrot led the carriage forward, and along the way, there were people dressed as people from the Wang family chatting in the alley, and they all looked at them curiously, but they didn't come up to ask anything.
Li Zhao and the three of them ignored it, and soon arrived in front of the gatehouse.
There were two pairs of officers and soldiers there, and sixteen people were guarding the door, needless to say, Yang Houzhao must be standing inside.
As soon as they entered, the gatekeeper shouted, "Who is it? What for? ”
Aunt Qin pulled Li Zhao's sleeve with some fear: "Madam, what should I do?" Otherwise, we'd better go back first. ”
Go back and go to the governor's yamen to inform the people.
Li Zhao didn't have any fear on his face, pinned his sideburns hair, and smiled at the gatekeeper: "I'm a widow." ”
Aunt Qin: "......"
Parrot: "......"
The gatekeeper put down his weapon, pointed at Aunt Qin and asked, "Is she too?" ”
Aunt Qin: "......"
Parrot: "......"
Aunt Qin was just about to explain, but Li Zhao nodded: "She has been guarding the old for many years, and the widow can't be widowed anymore." ”
Aunt Qin: "......"
Parrot: "......"
The officers and soldiers of Shoucheng summed up a few words, and then one of the officers and soldiers led by them came out of the ranks, pointed to a corner gate next to it, where there was an old woman about forty years old, and then said: "Go to her, explain the situation, and someone will arrange a place for you to live." ”
Will this be able to enter the Zhenguo Mansion?
Aunt Qin: "......"
Parrot: "......"
*****
Li Zhao and Aunt Qin were arranged in the west wing of a courtyard, although the lighting is not very good, but the things in the house are very complete, and it is also a single house, so there is no need to be embarrassed to live with others.
Li Zhao looked around the room, and then looked at Aunt Qin: "Does it look like our family?" ”
She's talking about the harem.
In this courtyard, the main house is occupied, and the side rooms are also occupied.
It's like a palace in the palace, the lord of a palace, and there will be low-grade palace concubines living next to it.
Aunt Qin didn't hear what Li Zhao said, so she took Li Zhao's arm and said, "Madam, what are you playing?" Aren't we going to see the uncle? ”
Yang Houzhao issued a decree at the border gate, as long as she is a widow, she will come to the town to sign up, she will eat and drink, and she will also manage marriage.
Li Zhao came in to see that she and Aunt Qin were warmly entertained, although the little parrot couldn't come in, but they said that they were relatives, and they were all arranged in the outer courtyard.
Is this like pulling a red line for officers and soldiers? It seems that he wants to open a harem himself, so the people below are all helping, and even the widow's relatives are not willing to offend.
Li Zhao said: "Didn't someone say that the uncle has a newcomer?" We've got to see who it is. Here, you can see the uncle sooner or later, you don't have to worry. ”
What's wrong with her going to Weifu for a private visit?
Aunt Qin couldn't persuade Li Zhao, so she could only follow and stay.
****
It's really like a harem, three meals a day are taken care of, in order to sympathize with everyone's own living habits, you can go to the canteen to cook by yourself, and then take it back to eat.
The dinner was made by Aunt Qin, for two people, nothing delicious, it was the flavor of the northwest, Li Zhao and Aunt Qin had the wrong taste, and they were only half full.
After eating, Aunt Qin cleaned up and had nothing to do, so she was a little anxious, sat on the kang and chatted with Li Zhao, and asked, "When will we see Uncle?" ”
