"Big brother, have you seen His Majesty the Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the palace maid when you entered the Imperial City?"

After returning to the upper wing room to wash off the sweat stains on his body, he changed to a new Linghu Slope and took Xu Shichang to the front yard canteen for dinner.

Xu Shichang had the heart to eat, and his broken mouth began to nag again.

It's no wonder that a flat-headed common man thought that when he entered the imperial city, he would be able to meet the emperor Lao'er.

He figured out there that this imperial city was only the periphery, and there was a palace city inside, and only by entering the palace could he meet palace maids, eunuchs, etc.

And the chances of an emperor or empress meeting are very low, almost zero, unless you are ordered to see them.

The common people usually saw the emperor's chariot from afar, and wept excitedly, knelt down three times and knocked nine times, and shouted long live in their mouths.

If he can be summoned by His Majesty the Emperor, what a great honor it is, it is definitely the green smoke rising from the ancestral tomb.

Looking at the chattering Xu Shichang, Ling Hupo was annoyed to hear it, and he was angry and angry, "It's not convincing to say that you are stupid, His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress live in the palace, and the palace is indeed built in the imperial city, but it is a city within a city, and the security is very strict, although you have entered the imperial city, if there is no emperor's edict or decree, you don't want to enter the palace half a step, understand?" ”

When Xu Shichang heard this, he suddenly deflated like a leaked skin.

He stuffed food into his mouth indiscriminately, shook his head and muttered: "Even the eldest brother can't see His Majesty the Emperor, so I can't, maybe I'll be hanging in this life." ”

Ling Hupo couldn't smile bitterly.

I don't know what the mentality of the ancients was, the emperor was so important, it seemed that he would be happy to let him die immediately when he saw him.

"Shichang, I'm very tired today, go up to sleep first, if you are bored and panicked, go to the street by yourself, take a walk, but remember, don't ride a horse or bring weapons, this is the capital, not a horse ranch."

Linghu Po was a little annoyed tonight, he didn't bother to pay attention to Xu Shichang, wiped his mouth after eating in a hurry, got up and instructed.

"Hmm!"

Xu Shichang promised.

He stuck out his tongue at Linghu Po, grimaced, and continued to eat.

Don't look at his size is not as big as Linghupo, but the amount of food is not small, like a high-end post house in Beijing, food is provided for free, there is fish and meat in a meal, he has no scruples, and chews big.

He didn't know who Ling Hupo had met when he entered the military hall, and what he said, but he felt that the eldest brother was in a strange state.

Xu Shichang was full of curiosity and had a broken mouth, but he didn't dare to ask more tonight, for fear of being popped and white-eyed by the eldest brother.

Ling Hupo went upstairs into his wing, took off his clothes, and rested early.

This trip to the military hall is more tiring than a hand-to-hand fight, mainly because I am tired and nervous.

……

Early the next morning, Ling Hupo got up early, opened the window, and first meditated on the wooden floor in the room to practice internal skills.

After finishing, he called Xu Shichang, went to the open space in the backyard of the post house to practice boxing and dancing knives, returned to the room to wash his face, and went downstairs to the front hall canteen to have breakfast.

Everything is done according to the previous rules.

"This official, there are people looking for you outside."

A runaway with a linen towel on his shoulder walked to Ling Hupo's side with sweat and whispered.

"Looking for me? Who? ”

Ling Hupo put down his chopsticks, raised his eyes to look at the postman who ran the hall, and wondered.

Hell, I only arrived in Chang'an yesterday, and there is no one I know here, who will look for him to come to the post house?

"Big brother, I'm going to get a knife!"

Xu Shichang saw that his eldest brother was puzzled, and he was also nervous.

He figured out that there was nothing good to come to the door, and got up to go upstairs to the room to get the guy.

"Stop! Don't panic yet, ask clearly. ”

Ling Hupo waved his hand and stopped Xu Shichang's next move.

The postman was also nervous by the inexplicable demeanor of the two people in front of him, and even stuttered, "Official... Official, it's two yamen... The errand who came to the door. ”

"An errand from the Yamen?" Ling Hupo was relieved when he heard this, and he stood up and looked out.

"Let them in..."

"No!"

The postman fled and left.

After a while, two lower-level officials wearing green and blue uniforms timidly walked in from outside the cafeteria.

They stood respectfully in front of Linghu Po, and one of them clasped his fists and said:

"Lord Linghu, who is the treasurer of the Qin State Mansion, was ordered to come and ask the Lord to move to the new house."

It is said that the people who watch the gate in the Prime Minister's Mansion are all seventh-grade officials, and the people in charge of the treasury of the Qin State Mansion are at least seventh-rank and eighth-rank officials.

"Moving to a new home? I have an official post house to live in, which is very good, so I don't have to move. ”

Ling Hupo didn't think much about it and dismissed it directly.

When I came to Chang'an, Kyoto, I came to study, and it was only a day of work, and I had such a lot of things, which was really irritating.

He didn't want to trouble Qin Guogong too much, maybe Xiu'er was worrying.

The two officials were acting on orders, and they didn't pay attention to Ling Hupo's bitter face, still smiling, and patiently explained:

"Lord Linghu, this mansion is a special order from the old man of the country, and it is given to you, we have already prepared it, and the mansion is on the edge of the Taixue Hall, so that you can go to school and study."

"This house is called Jingyuan, it is the main courtyard of the three entrances, with two additional side courtyards, twenty maids and servants, three horses, and the home are also gifted by the grandfather of the country, and they are all waiting for you in the Jingyuan."

Oh, I see.

This Guo Xiang is really righteous, I haven't bowed yet, but he gave the righteous grandson a meeting gift first.

Moreover, this gift is still quite big.

However, if you want to study in Taixue Hall for a year and live in a post house for a long time, I'm afraid it's not allowed.

You have to rent a house outside.

Or Guo Xiang is thoughtful, dignified and righteous grandson of Qin State, studying in the Taixue Hall in the capital, and he has to rent a house by himself, and he can't hang his face first.

"Well, since it is the will of the old man, let's follow it, so as not to embarrass his old man."

Ling Hupo replied coldly on the surface, and his heart was actually happy.

Maa, and such a good thing, it's really cool.

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, he and Xu Shichang went to the room to clean up their things, put them on horseback, followed the treasurer of the Duke of Qin, and went to the Jingyuan near the Taixue Hall.

Get off the horse at the gate of Jingyuan, look up and see a large mansion covering a wide area, which is more magnificent and magnificent than many solid families in Mayi City.

The double-open door of the vermilion lacquer copper ring, the left side of the door has a tethered horse stone, and the right side of the door has a hanging light pole.

But there's no such thing as a stone lion carving at the gate.

After asking the treasurer around me, I learned that the decoration of the courtyard of the mansion was very particular.

Above the five grades of the official position, the title is higher than that of the Hou Bo, and only then is he qualified to place the jade lion at the door.

Oh, the master is not qualified enough?

Don't!

Ling Hupo continued to look at the wide mansion in front of him.

Blue bricks and gray tiles, high walls and deep courtyards, warped eaves and wing corners, magnificent.

For Ling Hupo, there is a special sense of expectation.

The twenty maidservants and servants are said to have lived in the mansion first.
