With the passage of time, Yang Mu and his party have gradually approached the capital.

During this time, Yang Mu recognized all the maids and stewards sent to him by the Guogong Mansion.

Through the news obtained from the cherry, Mrs. Bao analyzed this group of people, including the people sent by the Duchess Chen, the wife of the prince, the Tang family, and the people sent by Yang Yu's biological mother, the second wife, Sheng.

In short, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the forces are chaotic.

Early one morning at the end of May, Yang Mu's motorcade entered the gates of the capital.

The capital is divided into an outer city, an inner city, and an imperial city.

The outer city is mostly inhabited by ordinary people and merchants, the inner city is mostly occupied by dignitaries, and the inner city is the residence of the emperor's relatives and the imperial palace.

Yang Mu lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the streets of the capital where people came and went, and secretly sighed, sure enough, the people in the capital are richer, and the clothes of the common people are much better than those in Baiyun County.

More than an hour later, the carriage passed through another gate and entered the inner city.

In the inner city, the streets are more brightly dressed, and silk and satin abound.

After walking for more than half an hour, the carriage stopped at the root of the imperial city.

Qiuqiu has long been impatient, since the bamboo has been eaten less and less, to yesterday's complete loss, it has been awkward.

Either pouting and climbing the bookshelves in the carriage, or gnawing the food boxes into slag of wood.

Now that I saw that the carriage had stopped, I couldn't wait to roll out.

Hei Daya was motion sickness, vomited all the way, and stayed all the way to the capital, completely helpless.

Yang Mu held the big black tooth in one hand and grabbed the infinitely tumbling ball with the other.

Mother Guo opened the curtain at this moment and said with a smile: "Second Miss, please get out of the car, we are here." ”

Yang Mu got out of the car with the big black tooth in one hand and the ball in the other.

Looking up, I saw a magnificent building, and on the vermilion gate with three doors and two doors, a big plaque was hung - "Protector's Mansion".

Yang Yu also got out of the car, and when he saw Yang Mu's appearance, his face was full of disdain.

Whose daughter is a dog and an iron beast? A country girl is a country girl! Wearing silk and satin can't change the earthy smell!

Lin Xiao led the horse over, took the big black tooth and handed it to Lu Shan, who was already gearing up behind him, and said to Yang Mu: "I will enter the mansion with you." ”

How did he find Yang Mu, he always had to explain to the Protector Mansion.

Yang Mu's heart warmed, although she did not have his company, she also dared to face the family members she had never met in this big house.

However, with his company, she will feel more at ease.

Yang Shilu is going to ride a big horse, and he is in Mu Chen's arms at the moment. He reached out and asked his sister for a hug.

Yang Mu had no choice but to take him from Mu Chen's arms and throw the ball to Mu Chen.

Mother Guo smiled and led Yang Mu and Lin Xiao to the steps, and said, "The middle door is only open for weddings and funerals, and it is not open on weekdays. ”

What she didn't say was that in addition to these special days, when the royal people came to the mansion, the middle door could also be opened. It's just that the identities of the few people in front of you are not enough to open the middle door.

As Guo's mother spoke, a few servants and mothers-in-law came out of the door, and Yang Yu took the lead and entered the house through the open side door.

When he returned home, he would no longer estimate Lin Xiao's identity as the son.

Yang Mu and Lin Xiao followed closely and also entered the mansion.

There was already a little guy with fast legs who ran back to tell the master and his party to go to the house.

The first protector Yang Fu was Yang Mu's great-grandfather, and he was the hero who followed Emperor Shunwu to quell the rebellion.

Yang Fu took a look at the mansion under the name of the household department, and finally gave up several sets of small courtyards in the imperial city, and chose the largest courtyard under the root of the imperial city as his protectorate mansion.

The Protector's Mansion is divided into two parts, the front yard is mainly used by the male owner of the family. The backyard is a place to live and a place for the ladies of the family to move.

Because Lin Xiao was an outsider, everyone was first led to sit in the main hall in the front yard.

There are well-dressed maids and servants who come to serve tea.

Qiuqiu didn't want to be held, twisted his ass and went to the ground, looking east and sniffing west, looking for something to eat.

Hei Daya was also trying to break free from Lu Shan's arms, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, and finally fell in Lu Shan's huge arms with empty eyes.

After waiting for a while, when Qiuqiu was eating the second apple, a middle-aged man came in with a smile, bowed to Lin Xiao and said, "Lin Shizi, come here!" ”

The middle-aged man was dressed in a dark green robe, and because he was too fat, his clothes were about to be unable to hold his overflowing fat.

Lin Xiao stood up and saluted slightly: "Uncle Yang, don't dare to be." Although his words were polite, his attitude was somewhat perfunctory.

Yang Mo knew that today was the day when Yang Mu went home, but he didn't look at Yang Mu, and he didn't care about this niece, but just beckoned Lin Xiao to tea.

Yang Shishi's big eyes sparkled, and he asked Yang Mu in a low voice: "Sister, who is this?" ”

Yang Mu whispered in Yang Shishi's ear: "He is my sister's uncle." ”

When he was far away in Baiyun County, Yang Mu had already memorized the character relationship chart of the Protector's Mansion, and when he saw the middle-aged man's puff-like figure, plus Lin Xiao called him "Uncle Shi", he knew that the person in front of him was her own uncle, Yang Mo.

Yang Shishi was a little incomprehensible, "He ignored his sister." ”

Yang Mu scratched his brother's little nose amusedly and said, "Do you want to eat pastries?" ”

There were two plates of pastries on the table next to them, and they smelled good.

Yang Shishi seemed to know that this was not his random place, swallowed his saliva, shook his head slightly, and said, "The stone doesn't eat." ”

Yang Mu took a piece of osmanthus cake and gave it to him, and said, "Try it, is it delicious made by my sister, or is it delicious." ”

Yang Shi couldn't resist the temptation of food, and slowly reached out to take the pastry, and ate it one by one. He looks cautious.

Yang Mu felt distressed, such a young child, but he was so sensitive to the surrounding environment, it can be seen how many grievances and injuries he suffered when he was a child.

Lin Xiao took a sip of tea and asked, "I don't know if the grandfather of the country and the prince of the world can be in the house?" ”

Yang Mo said: "I was called to the palace by His Majesty." ”

Lin Xiao tilted his head and glanced at Yang Mu, and said, "In that case, I should ask the Duchess for peace, and I can explain how I found the second lady of the house." ”

The smile on Yang Mo's fat face paused slightly, knowing that this was Lin Xiao's dissatisfaction with his attitude of turning a blind eye to his niece, but he immediately smiled again and said, "I haven't thanked Lin Shizi for caring so much about the Yang family's affairs." ”

Lin Xiao smiled lightly, said "Don't dare to be", then stood up and was about to go to the backyard.

Yang Mo had no choice, so he gave a long entourage behind him a look, and the chief retinue immediately walked away quickly and reported.

Yang Mo still didn't pay attention to Yang Mu, stood up, and led everyone through the main hall to the backyard.

The crowd walked through a dark lacquered gate and into the backyard.
