Chapter Eighty-Six: The General's Mansion
Before, only a very small number of people in the Liang army knew that Yan Chen was the son of a general, but looking at the current situation, everyone should know about it.
Chen Shi admitted that Yan Chen was his son, which was a major event, and it would affect the pattern of the Liang Army in the future.
Originally, Chen Shi was in the eyes of the imperial court, especially the emperor, although he supported the army and had high merits, but after all, he was an old man without a wife and no children, and when he died, the Liang army would have to change his master, but now he has an inexplicable son, and his taste has changed in the eyes of outsiders.
If they want to turn the Liang army of the Qianguo into the family army of their father and son, the old emperor will never agree.
Jiang Wuxian also frowned slightly, a little unable to guess Chen Shi's thoughts.
And these guards kneeling on one knee in front of him also made Yan Chen uncomfortable, he looked at Duan Jaw and said, "Old Duan, it's boring for you to do this." ”
Duan Jaw hurriedly explained: "This is the general's arrangement, I don't know what is going on, I don't know very well, let's go to the mansion first, and the courtyard has been prepared for you inside." ”
With so many guards around watching, Yan Chen was now on the fire, and he couldn't go in anymore, so he could only grab Liang Yi's hand and go inside together.
Liang Yi was obviously frightened by this battle, holding Yan Chen's hand with his left hand, and constantly subconsciously arranging his hair with his right hand, but because of the panic in his heart, he couldn't get it right.
Aunt Ma is even worse than Liang Yi, she has been facing the loess with her back to the sky all her life, where has she ever seen this kind of scene, she lowered her head and turned her head to leave, but was stopped by Chu He.
"Huh? Godmother, why are you going? ”
"Xiaohe, don't make trouble, this is where I can enter. I'll go to the city gate and make a name to see which village I can get into, and you'll have to see me at your leisure, and I'll be content." ”
Yan Chen hurriedly dragged her back and said with a smile: "Hey, you old lady, aren't you usually quite bold?" I said, if you save my life, that will be the godmother of the two of us, and I will take care of everything for the rest of my life. Your husband and son, I'm sure I'll be able to get you back. ”
After speaking, Yan Chen dragged his godmother with his left hand and his daughter-in-law with his right hand, and swaggered into the General's Mansion.
Chu He and the others also hurriedly followed, Duan Jaw beckoned, and the guards who were still kneeling on the side of the road stood up neatly.
Jiang Wuxian also followed behind angrily, and whispered to Chu He: "I also came to this general's mansion a few times a few years ago, but every time I was like a grandson, how can I be majestic now?" ”
As soon as the group entered the mansion, the butler who had been waiting in the compound greeted him at a trot, followed by hundreds of servants and maids.
Before the old housekeeper arrived in front of Yan Chen, tears fell first, grabbed Yan Chen's arm, and sobbed: "Okay, good, good boy......"
At this time, Jaw walked over and said in a low voice: "This is the Hu Baihu Butler of the General's Mansion, who has served the General for half his life, and his achievements are great." ”
Butler Hu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I have this ability to serve people, how can I compare with General Duan, you heroes." ”
After speaking, he looked at Yan Chen with relief and said excitedly: "I was ordered by my master to secretly go to Jiangzhou several times, and you were so tall at that time. After I came back, I begged the master several times, and I wanted to ...... Forget it, don't mention old things, this is the young lady? ”
Yan Chen hurriedly dragged Liang Yi forward, "Uncle Hu, this is my daughter-in-law." ”
As soon as he heard Yan Chen call himself "Uncle Hu", Hu Bai burst into tears, and quickly wiped his face with his sleeve, "Look at me, I'm so old that I can't stand things anymore." Let's go, I'll take you to the place where you live, it's the courtyard that the lord specially ordered to vacate it. ”
So the group followed Hu Bai again and walked towards the residence.
It is a very spacious second-entry courtyard, and the structure is similar to that of Liang Yi's house in Qushui County, but the scale is much larger.
"The master has instructed that this courtyard will be owned by the young master and the young lady, and your brothers, friends, and family can live in it, and everything is up to you. In addition, there are often ten servants and ten maids, and you can come to me directly if you need anything. ”
"Uncle Hu, this is very good, you go and get busy first, we can arrange it ourselves here."
"Okay, okay, then I won't bother you, I'll come back later."
Hu Bai was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly saw Aunt Ma who was a little cowering, and walked over with a smile, "Old sister, when you get here, it's like going back to your own home, don't think about anything else, just live steadily, if you are bored with these young people, go to me to chat, I am usually very idle." ”
"Okay, Steward Hu bothered." Aunt Ma barely managed to squeeze out a smile.
Hu Bai explained a few more words to the people in the courtyard, and then wiped his eyes and retired.
Then, the atmosphere in the courtyard began to become delicate.
The servants and maids all lowered their heads and stood in a row under the wall, waiting for Yan Chen's instructions.
Chu He and Jiang Wuxian stood together and watched the excitement.
Duan Jaw enthusiastically hugged Aunt Ma and went to accompany her to choose a room.
Liang Yi's eyes were red, and he stared at Yan Chen with a resentful face.
Yan Chen's only thought now was to plop down and kneel, but there were still so many people watching from the side, and they couldn't kneel.
Although Chu He endured it very hard, he still couldn't hold back his laughter.
Yan Chen turned his head and glared at him, then looked at Liang Yi again, and whispered, "Let's go back to the house and say, there are a lot of people." ”
Liang Yi still understood the general situation after all, nodded, and followed Yan Chen into the inner courtyard.
Jiang Wuxian held back a smile and said in a low voice: "Brother Chu, believe it or not, the first thing Lao Yan did after entering the house was to kneel. ”
The corners of Chu He's mouth sneered, "Nonsense, what kind of character my eldest brother is, of course he can bend and stretch." ”
While speaking, Chu He and a group of subordinates were left in the courtyard, and the atmosphere became awkward again.
In the end, it was Jiang Wuxian who took the lead in speaking, "That...... Who's okay, find me something to eat? ”
The back kitchen of the General's Mansion.
In this room, which can be said to be the largest stove in Liangzhou, more than a dozen chefs are making all kinds of dishes in full swing.
"Today's dinner is very important, welcome our young master home, everyone has a snack."
Hu Bai walked back and forth in the stove room, and after a while, he was so hot that he was sweating profusely, and hurriedly went out to blow the wind.
As soon as he walked out, Hu Bai heard the whispers of two maids not far away.
"Hey, have you seen the village woman that the young master brought back? I almost didn't laugh out loud at the time, you look at the corners of her eyes, is she in her thirties? ”
"No, look at her figure, as if she had given birth."
"Yes, yes, yes, I also brought an old lady from the countryside here, you said that we are a general's mansion, anyone can come in?"
Hu Bai walked over quickly, and the two maids hurriedly stopped talking and stood aside respectfully.
But they are not so afraid, Steward Hu has always been kind, and treats them very well, and just says a few words to them.
What they didn't expect was that Hu Bai rushed over with one person and one mouth, and with so much force, he slapped the two maids to the ground.
"Go to the account office to get the money now, get out of the General's Mansion immediately, if I see you two in the realm of Dachong Pass again, I will break your legs!"
"Get out!"
