Chuzhou Mansion:

Shen Pu did have guests to entertain today, but it was not just today, but it had already arrived before Lord Bao entered Chuzhou.

This person is Qinglian.

Qinglian lived up to Fei Caihe's trust, kept urging the coachman along the way, and finally arrived at the Chuzhou Mansion one day earlier than Lord Bao.

Shen Pu was very surprised when he saw the dusty Qinglian, and in the next second, Fei Caihe's letter shocked him even more.

In the letter, Fei Caihe not only reminded him to beware of Bao Zheng, but also specifically told him to be more careful with Hu Cheng.

At the end of the letter, Fei Caihe also said that if necessary, he could keep Qinglian by his side, and the right to do it was like being by Shen Pu's side.

Shen Pu's heart was very sad.

Ever since this cousin entered the palace, he felt that the whole world was working against him.

Imperial power is really terrible.

"My cousin's expression is different today, dare it be because the bag has arrived in Chuzhou?" Qinglian asked in a low voice on the side, understanding.

Shen Pu shook his head.

"If you want a slave to say, my cousin really shouldn't come to do this bullshit prefect, although my uncle was expelled from the capital, but my mother is still there, my cousin can continue to live in the capital, and I can meet my mother at any time, why do you have to work so hard to suffer here?" Qinglian complained.

Shen Pu smiled bitterly.

He naturally understood Fei Caihe's intentions.

And the last paragraph of this letter made him quite puzzled.

"Do you dare to ask Miss Qinglian how old she is?"

Qinglian was stunned, not knowing why Shen Pu suddenly asked this question.

"The slave maid was just fourteen years old when she entered the palace, and now it has been four years."

Shen Pu's gaze swept over Qinglian's face.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, the adult standard for girls was fourteen years old, that is, as long as they reached this age, girls could be married. And at the age of eighteen, she is already an out-and-out big girl.

Most of the unmarried women of such age come from large families, or are the servants of large families.

Qinglian is Fei Caihe's most favored palace maid, and if she were someone else, she would have already been sent out of the palace.

Shen Pu felt that Fei Caihe intended to ask Qinglian to stay by his side, which had another deep meaning.

Shen Pu didn't want to do that.

painstakingly wrote a reply to Fei Caihe, handed it to Qinglian, and signaled that she could leave.

Qinglian had no intention of leaving.

"The slave maid finally walked out of the palace, and he intended to stay here for a few more days, why should the cousin be so eager for the slave and maid to leave?" Qinglian tilted her head and looked at Shen Pu.

It must be a girl from the palace, even if she is unhappy in her heart, she still speaks so tactfully.

"It's just that Xiaosheng doesn't have a female dependent here, and Miss Qinglian is inconvenient here, and no one comes to accompany the girl to play outside?" Shen Pu said.

"This doesn't need to be cared about by my cousin, Qinglian is also from the market, why do you need to be accompanied by others?" Qinglian didn't care, and after speaking, she had already turned around and walked out of the mansion.

It didn't take long for her to appear on the streets.

Although Qinglian is just wearing ordinary girls' clothes, the noble temperament brought out from the palace is not something that ordinary girls can have, and walking on the street instantly attracted the attention of many people.

Qinglian didn't care.

Not long after, two nervous-looking men appeared behind her, following her not far away.

This was arranged by Shen Pu temporarily, because he was worried that something would happen to Qinglian, so Shen Pu had to do it.

At this time, Lu Bu had already followed the old lady back to Anle Palace.

It was the first time Lu Bu had seen such a huge building, and it could even be comparable to the imperial palace in the capital.

The white marble steps in front of the gate alone, and the warriors standing in front of the gate, are enough to make people feel that this place is unusual.

"The old lady is home." The door opened, and the little maid walking next to the car screamed loudly.

The family members immediately stopped their work and stood on both sides of the bluestone road with their hands down.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard on the first floor, and then someone carried a small sedan chair over.

The little maid helped the old lady to sit up.

Lu Bu smiled secretly.

How big can this courtyard be, does this old lady dare not even want to take a step?

It didn't take long for Lu Bu to sweat profusely for his thoughts.

Where is the courtyard, it is clearly a huge open-air garden, interspersed with countless houses. According to the calculation of two people in each room, there should be no less than hundreds of people living here.

I think that at the beginning, the mansion of Dong Zhuo, the Taishi of the Later Han Dynasty, was nothing more than that, right?

When I was in Xuzhou, I never lived in such a large mansion.

The old lady lived in the courtyard on the last floor, and the small sedan chair had been walking for half a stick of incense.

It was very quiet here, except for some flowers and plants in front of the door, there were only two maids, and when they saw the old lady coming back, they immediately greeted them.

"Ju'er, let's go and arrange a place for Tang Zhuangshi, and inform the house of many matters. This person is a good friend of Master Mercy, and he must not be neglected. The old lady said to the maid who had been following her.

"Yes." The little maid agreed.

This maid named Ju'er was very careful, and it didn't take long to arrange Lu Bu's residence, and she specially went to the front to call two other maids to help him clean up the house.

The house was huge, even beyond the space where Lu Bu and Diao Chan lived when they were in the capital.

Ju'er told Lu Bu that he couldn't walk in the house when he had nothing to do, and if he was bored, he could go outside, as long as the old lady didn't go out, he could come and go at will.

However, this Ju'er specially told Lu Bu that at any time, he could not go to the second-story courtyard in front, because the concubine of the old palace master lived there, and the little palace master, Zhao Chong, also lived there.

For these matters, Lu Bu still vaguely remembers.

Back then, if he hadn't broken into Dong Zhuo's bedroom by mistake, how could he have a private meeting between Fengyi Pavilion and Diao Chan?

It's just that back then, Diao Chan was fragrant and beautiful, and no one could compare with it, and the concubine room of the old palace master must have been full of flowers.

Looking at the old lady's age, this little palace master Zhao Pet should be not young, but he still lives in the courtyard of his father's concubine's room, which seems a little puzzling.

Lu Bu really wanted to bring Diao Chan here, leaving her to live alone in that dilapidated village, although she was taken care of by Cihui and Miaoling, but Lu Bu was still a little uneasy. However, after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't dare to bring it up in the end, I must be the first time to come here, and if I want to bring the family, I am afraid that the old lady will be embarrassed.

"I heard Master Miaoling say that Tang Zhuangshi once saved her life, it must be very good, and the old lady instructed not to neglect the strong man, if you have orders, you can call Ju'er." Ju'er finally said.

"Is there any arrangement for the old lady's next trip?" Lu Bu asked.

Ju'er suddenly covered her small mouth.

"I heard that Master Miaoling said that there is still an extremely beautiful lady in the strong man's family, but the strong man wants to go back and tell Mrs. Zun?"

Lu Bu's face was slightly red.

"The old lady won't go out in the next few days, and the strong man can do his own thing, but remember to come to the house early tomorrow morning, and if there is any change, Ju'er should inform in advance." Ju'er said.

"That's the case, thank you Sister Ju'er."

Hearing that Lu Bu actually called herself her sister, Ju'er covered her mouth again.
