Chapter 6 To the General's Mansion
After dawn, Xue Yuan got up as usual, and after having breakfast in the room, he went out with Suzaku.
Xue Yuan planned to go to the eldest brother to inquire about the news first, and then go to the barracks to recruit soldiers to expand his strength.
At this early morning, on a bluestone road outside the courtyard, the master and servant walked side by side.
Suzaku was still wearing black clothes, and Xue Yuan changed into a moon-white dress, with long sleeves fluttering, looking like a handsome boy.
As he walked, Xue Yuan looked at Suzaku carefully, and Suzaku didn't dislike him anymore, but was a little shy and nervous.
Seeing that Suzaku was still wearing black, Xue Yuan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Suzaku, why are you still dressed like this?" ”
Suzaku didn't expect her master to ask this question, and she didn't know how to answer, so she thought for a while, and didn't intend to hide it, so she lowered her head.
"Suzaku is a dead man, his parents are gone, and he can only wear black clothes according to the etiquette law, and the master doesn't have to take it to heart." She replied.
Hearing this, Xue Yuan felt helpless, the ancients had a lot of rules, parents died, children can not wear bright clothes, can only wear dark colors.
"Then you don't have any other relatives?" Xue Yuan thought for a while and then asked.
"No, they're all dead, and I'm the only one left." Suzaku replied, as if relieved.
"Have you ever thought about getting married? You are so beautiful and your martial arts are so good, there must be many people who like you. Xue Yuan asked again.
After saying that, I regretted it, this is an ancient society that is not modern, and the ancient society in which men were superior to women was inferior, and the marriage was all based on the words of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents.
And Suzaku is a dead man, and she can't marry at will, if it weren't for the powerful people who took a fancy to her, she wouldn't want to marry in her life.
Suzaku didn't answer him, but lowered his head helplessly, and Xue Yuan understood that he had said the wrong thing, so he didn't dare to say anything more.
The good atmosphere is gone, it is difficult to go out once, Suzaku was happy at first, and Xueyuan came out like this, and he couldn't be happy.
Along the way, the two were silent until the two walked out of the Xiliang Palace.
At this time, the master and servant stopped in front of the gate of Xiliang Wangfu.
"Shall we ride a horse or a car?" Xue Yuan smiled and asked Suzaku.
"Ahh Still is... Let's get on the bus. Suzaku was a little shy and replied in a low voice.
It's not that Suzaku can't ride a horse, it's that women look debauched when riding horses, and women in ancient society valued chastity and generally didn't ride horses.
Xue Yuan nodded in agreement, turned around and called a manservant, ordering him to prepare the carriage and horses.
"Master, where are we going?" Suzaku asked suspiciously.
"What do you say?" Xue Yuan smiled and asked rhetorically.
Suzaku shook her head, saying that she didn't know, if she could have guessed before, she wouldn't be able to figure it out now that it's a different person.
At this moment, a crisp sound of horses' hooves sounded, and Xue Yuan looked at it, but it was the groom who came with a carriage.
"Let's go, you'll know when you get there." Xue Yuan said softly, the words fell, gently patted her on the back, and walked towards the carriage.
Suzaku was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything, and followed him, and after a while, the two got into the carriage.
The carriage was not big, Xue Yuan sat on the left, Suzaku sat on the right, and the two were close together.
Before the crossing of the snow source, he was also a single dog, so nervous that he kept sweating on his forehead.
Suzaku was also very shy, his face was red, and he was very embarrassed.
She held her small hands tightly on her lap, pretending to be serious, and did not dare to turn her head to look at the master next to her.
Fortunately, the streets are paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and the carriage walks very smoothly, if it is bumpy, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of it so much.
After a while, Xue Yuan glanced at Suzaku, but saw that her face was shy, and a pair of misty phoenix eyes stared at the car curtain in front of her, without even blinking.
"Ahem, Suzaku, what are you thinking?" Xue Yuan wiped his sweat and asked softly.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Suzaku was taken aback and hurriedly replied.
Xue Yuan didn't ask anymore, but he could roughly guess that Suzaku was thinking about the days he used to be with the original owner.
"We're going to the General's Mansion later, and we must do a good job, understand?" Snow source is colored.
"Rest assured, master." Suzaku is colorful.
The two became serious, and the awkward atmosphere disappeared in an instant.
"Don't be impulsive when you see the son of the world, although you are an enemy, but you have to be patient, if you kill him now, we will have no place to stay." Xue Yuan advised.
"Suzaku understands." Suzaku replied firmly.
Xue Yuan was also relieved, and pulled the curtain to order the groom to speed up, walking slowly like this, I was afraid that I would die of embarrassment.
Sitting down again, the master and servant were not so nervous, but they were still a little bit, and they didn't say anything more.
After some time, the carriage arrived at the mansion where the prince lived and stopped in front of the gate.
The master and servant got out of the carriage and looked up, but saw the plaque in front of the gate reading "Liangzhou General's Mansion" with a gilded seal.
Xue Yuan walked to the gate, greeted a soldier guarding the door, and told him to go in and report.
Then, the master and servant walked into the general's mansion together, and Xue Yuan walked towards the living room of the mansion with his memory.
After a while, the two walked into the living room, and Xue Yuan found a chair and sat down.
Suzaku didn't sit, just stood behind him, always on guard.
"Master, what are you doing here?" Suzaku asked.
"It's nothing, just to see my big brother." Xue Yuan said indifferently.
Suzaku didn't ask again, and after a while, two green-clothed girls walked in with blue and white porcelain tea sets.
After a busy while, a girl poured a cup of hot tea for Xue Yuan, and she slowly walked to Xue Yuan with a teacup.
"Third son, please use tea." The girl bent her legs and respectfully handed the cup full of tea to Xue Yuan.
"Thank you!" Xue Yuan said indifferently, the words fell, and he reached out to take the Sancai bowl.
Just as he was about to drink, Suzaku reminded him, "Master, be careful of poison!" ”
