Chapter 674: Inner City, Shangshu Mansion
Yun Niang and the others had just entered Shangjing, Zibao curiously climbed out of the carriage window to look at the surrounding scenery, but half of his whole body was hanging outside the carriage, so frightened that Alai begged his father to tell his grandmother.
"My little master, little ancestor, don't be like this, what if something happens to this? Alai, please come in and sit down, okay? Or Alai will take you out for a horseback ride. β
Alai was really frightened by Zibao's movements, and didn't notice that the people in the carriage were not worried, and Zibao also looked excited, where was as timid and panicked as a three-year-old child, but his eyes flashed with brilliance, and he didn't look scared at all.
At this moment, a carriage came on, and Zibao was startled when he saw Zibao standing outside, and quickly ordered someone to stop, and after getting out of the carriage, he stood next to the carriage and saluted.
Alai had already seen this man, and immediately stopped his horse and gestured to the person behind him.
"It turned out to be the son of Alai, it was really disrespectful and disrespectful, Du Mou came to be the housekeeper of Lord Shangshu's house, and he was originally going to welcome my master and young lady into the city, but he was delayed because of some things, what a sin! May I ask if the person escorted by Gongzi Alai is my master, so I can ask Du to excuse my master. β
"It turned out to be Steward Du! The people in the carriage were officially the family members of Lord Shangshu, because my master told me to go and greet Master Wang and them into the city, so I took the first step, but I couldn't help it! β
In fact, it's still early, and it's not too late, it stands to reason that if it weren't for Alai escorting Yun Niang and them into the city today, Steward Du would indeed not be late! It's only now that the master has entered the city, he has appeared, and he has always neglected the people of the Wang family, so as soon as Steward Du came up, he pleaded guilty to the people of the Wang family, but he blamed himself for all the faults, and he did not excuse himself.
Ah Lai looked at Steward Du and said I'm sorry, because he has been in Beijing for all these years, and he is close to Yun Xiu, how can he not know Steward Du! Immediately, he brought people to Yun Niang's carriage, but Zibao always held his head and looked strangely at the oncoming Steward Du and Alai.
In fact, Steward Du didn't know that the people of the Wang family had entered the city so quickly, he got the news yesterday that they had arrived in the town outside the city, he was originally going to take people out of the city early this morning to greet him, but who knew that he would run into it before he left the city!
If he hadn't seen the child on the carriage who looked very similar to his young master, he wouldn't have been sure that the people from the Wang family had already entered Beijing, and Alai was there! That's why he stepped forward to ask.
"Girl, this is Steward Du on the Shangshu Mansion, I should have come to pick up the girl and the others back to the Shangshu Mansion with the words of Lord Shangshu, girl, look? Do you want to meet Steward Du? β
"The subordinate is Du Chun, the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion, Miss can call the name of her subordinates, and now her subordinates are derelict in their duties, and their subordinates are here to ask Miss for their guilt! Please don't blame the young lady. β
Du Chun pleaded guilty to the carriage, and heard a female voice coming from the carriage, tactful and melodious, rigid and soft, making people feel more comfortable.
"Steward Du is polite, we entered the city in advance and didn't inform Steward Du! What's wrong with Steward Du? It's not too early to get home, so it's better to go home early. β
Steward Du didn't expect the people of the Wang family to be so generous and easy to speak, his face couldn't help but be stunned, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he could only obey at the moment.
"Yes, Miss."
Steward Du nodded politely at Alai, turned around and let the people behind him lead the way, and took the Wang family's carriage to Shangshu Mansion.
Pedestrians walking on the road couldn't help but look at so many carriages, and when they saw these carriages heading to the inner city, they wondered.
Shangjing is huge, the closer to the palace, the more many dignitaries gather, plus this mansion represents the emperor's sacred heart, so the closer the premises, the more expensive, and even most of them are official residences, where the first and second grades of the court live, and so on, if the grade is not qualified or the officials who do not have the sacred heart, they can only be assigned to the outer city.
Therefore, the area of the official residence and the imperial palace were divided into the inner city and the outer city, although the inner city and the outer city were together, and they were also bustling streets, but they were forcibly divided into the land of the powerful and the commoners.
Of course! Anyone who can live in the inner city is considered a powerful person, and no matter who they are, they dream of living in the inner city.
In addition to expressing the emperor's favor and respect, it is because Shangshu is a minister who participates in the cabinet of the DPRK and China, and can help the emperor manage some court affairs, and it is convenient for the emperor to summon him, so he can enter the palace as quickly as possible, and will not delay the major events of the court!
Not to mention that the Shangshu of Zheng Erpin is already a top existence in the entire court, even if it is the inner city where the palace nobles live, it is also a person of great weight, so Yun Niang and the others only entered Beijing in a quarter of an hour! Almost everyone who paid attention to Shangshufu knew that the people of the Wang family had come to Beijing.
One by one, the figures left the house, and returned one after another, busy!
And these are all things that Yun Niang doesn't know!
Yun Niang and the others got out of the carriage, looking at the majestic and atmospheric Shangshu Mansion in front of them, the vermilion lacquer faΓ§ade, the tall and mighty stone lions on both sides, the dignitaries were abnormal, and the family members stood in front of the door with countless rules, and the three big characters gilded on the plaque on the high Shangshu Mansion, Shangshu Mansion.
Du Chun, the housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion, was commanding the subordinates of Shangshu Mansion to come forward to help at this time, and respectfully invited the people of the Wang family to get off the carriage in an orderly manner, and even Wang Dazhuang's wheelchair was pushed forward by the subordinates of the organic spirit, and there was no need for the people of the Wang family to trouble anything, just follow into the mansion.
This kind of battle made the Wang family and others look a little cramped, and they couldn't let go of their hands and feet, especially when they got off the car, when someone bowed down and knelt on the ground as a bench, Wang Erzhuang and others were even a little frightened, and they didn't even say no!
Although they are much better than ordinary people, they have not been so bad, who is not born and raised by their parents, how can they be so bad, I can't accept it for a while! Reluctant to step on.
But the people of the Wang family have just come to Shangjing, and they don't understand the rules here, and the dignitaries and nobles in Shangjing are like this, these are just slaves who have sold their bodies! Don't say it's a step on it, even if you beat them to death casually, no one will say anything, but you think that such a slave deserves to die.
Steward Du looked at the people of the Wang family like this, and knew that they were all the same as Lord Shangshu, and they didn't like these rules, so he asked people to step back and take the stool over! I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, it seems that the people of the Wang family are not difficult to serve!
Yun Niang and others were invited into the main hall, and the seats arranged were very interesting, of course Wang Dazhuang was in the first place, but the second was Yun Niang, and then Wang Erzhuang and Wu Tian and others, and then there were Wang Zhaojun and other younger generations! Let Yun Niang really admire the eyes of this Du housekeeper, no wonder he was asking her for instructions on everything just now.
