Chapter 554: Kong Shangxian Arrives

Since Kong Shangxian asked his wife Yan to write a letter to Yan Shifan earlier, he has embarked on the journey to the capital without stopping.

After all, the fate of the rest of the families of the "Four Sages and Three Sages" is still vivid, and Kong Shangxian can't afford not to pay attention to it!

After several days of non-stop travel, Kong Shangxian finally arrived in the capital, and at this moment, he was looking at the scenery on the street through the sedan curtain.

"Alas, I hope that Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xiao Ge can say something good for me in front of Your Majesty!"

Kong Shangxian prayed in his heart, and then put down the sedan curtain, and outside the sedan curtain, there was a road paved with neat stone slabs, and a bustling crowd, from time to time there were vendors selling along the street, and children chased after the vendors selling sugar gourds, shouting incessantly.

And everything that was lively outside had nothing to do with Kong Shangxian at this moment, and immediately, I saw him gather his mind and give instructions to the palanquin man.

"Let's go to the Yan Mansion first!"

"Yes, sir!"

After that, the sedan chair that Kong Shangxian was riding in marched towards the location of the Yan Mansion.

Yanfu is located in the most prosperous street in the capital, because it is very close to the Forbidden City, so every inch of land is expensive, in this vicinity, live are some dignitaries.

At this moment, at the gate of Yan's mansion, the little guy in charge of guarding the door was yawning incessantly, chatting about the recent gossip in the mansion from time to time.

"Hey, have you heard, there's a strange thing in the house recently, and the food prepared in advance in the kitchen is inexplicably a lot less!"

When the little guy on the side heard this, he responded disdainfully.

"This can also make a fuss, I think, most of it was done by the four-hour good (note: solid color cat) raised by Xiaoge!"

Just as the little guy in charge of the doorkeeper was chatting, he saw a sedan chair with extremely luxurious decoration stopped at the door of Yan's mansion.

Seeing this, the little guy hurriedly stopped talking, after all, the identity of the person who can ride this kind of sedan chair is either rich or expensive, and it is far from something they can afford to provoke!

After a while, I saw a person who looked like a housekeeper came to the two little servants in charge of guarding the door, arched his hand, and said respectfully.

"Dare to ask, are Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xiao Ge at home?"

One of the servants looked the visitor up and down, then leaned down and asked respectfully.

"Who are you?"

"Don't hide it, below is the housekeeper of the Confucius family in Qufu, and in the sedan chair sits my master, the contemporary Yan Shenggong Kong Shangxian, bothered to go in and report!"

When the little guy heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted, and immediately, he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and saluted respectfully.

"Please wait a minute, the little one will go in and report it!"

"Well, I'm tired!"

After the little servant finished speaking, he didn't dare to stop at the scene, and immediately ran into the Yan Mansion through the side door that was specially entered and exited by the slaves.

After entering the Yan Mansion, the little servant quickly found the butler and reported the news of Kong Shangxian's arrival to him breathlessly.

"No...... Oh no, a sedan chair suddenly came outside, and the person on the sedan chair said that it was the contemporary Yan Shenggong! ”

"What are you talking about, Yan Shenggong is here!"

After listening to the little guy's report, the housekeeper suddenly turned pale with fright and trembled, after all, before this, Yan Song repeated three orders and repeated, without his permission, no one was allowed to meet this Kong Shangxian!

"No matter, it just so happens that Xiao Ge Lao is resting at home today, I have to tell him the news quickly!"

The butler thought so, and immediately instructed the little guy who had come to report the news.

"You're going to go back and steady them now, understand?"

"Yes, butler!"

When the little guy heard this, he immediately answered in a deep voice, and after a few strokes, he ran away.

Seeing this, the housekeeper shook his head helplessly, and immediately walked towards the room where Yan Shifan was.

……

In the room, Yan Shifan got up early in the morning.

At this moment, he was sitting next to the bookcase, learning from his father Yan Song, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" and reading it with relish.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, disturbing his spirit.

Immediately, I saw Yan Shifan showing an unhappy look on his face, put down the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and said coldly.

"Come in!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard a 'squeak', and the door of the room was pushed open, and I saw a panicked butler walk in and report to him.

"Little Pavilion Old, don't ...... Oh no, ...... Coming out ......."

Yan Shifan saw that the housekeeper looked panicked, and couldn't help frowning, and reprimanded.

"Panicked, what kind of system, who's coming outside?"

When the housekeeper heard Yan Shifan's words, he finished sorting out the words in his mind before he said in a trembling voice.

"Little ...... Xiao Ge Lao, just now the little guy came in to report, saying that Kong Shangxian, the contemporary Yan Shenggong, is here, and his sedan chair is waiting at the door! ”

After listening to the housekeeper's report, the shock on Yan Shifan's face flashed, and immediately, he slapped the table and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, he actually has the face to come to my Yan family, you go and tell him immediately, just say that I am sick, and no one will see me!"

Seeing that Yan Shifan had already given specific instructions, the housekeeper couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately responded.

"Yes, Xiao Ge Lao, the little one will go!"

After the housekeeper left, he saw Yan Shifan sitting back in front of the bookcase, and when he picked up the book of "Spring and Autumn" on the table and planned to continue reading, he found that he couldn't concentrate no matter what, and his mood became extremely irritable.

Yan Shifan had no choice but to put down the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and immediately sighed.

"Alas, really, trouble comes one after another!"

……

At this moment, at the gate of the Yan Mansion.

I saw Kong Shangxian open the sedan curtain, looking at the two stone lions and two gatekeepers at the door, as well as the plaque with the word 'Yanfu' written in gilt font on the brightly painted red gate.

"What the hell is going on, why hasn't there been news for so long?"

Kong Shangxian thought so, and immediately, he saw the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion walk out, come to his sedan chair, and report respectfully.

"Yan Shenggong, I'm really embarrassed, today it's Yan Ge's turn to be on duty in the cabinet, and Xiao Ge is in poor health, so he can't see guests for the time being, and I hope Yan Shenggong understands!"

After listening to the butler's words, the expression on Kong Shangxian's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, how could he not hear the meaning.

"Hmph, this Yan family obviously doesn't want to have anything to do with me, Yan Shifan is sick? Hmph, what bullshit reasons! ”

"I don't believe it, without you, what will Your Majesty do to me, no matter what, I am also the contemporary Yan Holy Prince!"

Thinking so, Kong Shangxian turned his gaze to the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion, nodded imperceptibly, and commanded.

"Well, since that's the case, then I won't bother!"

When the housekeeper heard this, an expression of sincere fear suddenly appeared on his face, and he leaned down and said respectfully.

"Yan Shenggong, you go slowly!"

And in response to the butler, there was only a cold snort.

After the sedan chair that Kong Shangxian was riding in traveled far away, the housekeeper slowly raised his head and wiped the fine beads of sweat oozing from his forehead with his sleeve.

"Alas, we can't afford to offend anyone, so we can only be careful in everything!"

After the butler finished speaking, he sighed helplessly, and immediately walked towards Yan's mansion.

When passing by the little guy who was in charge of guarding the door, I saw the butler pause, turned around, looked at the two little guys, and commanded quite casually.

"When the time comes, you two will receive an extra month's money!"

"Yes, thank you butler! Thanks butler! ”

When the two little servants in charge of the gatekeeper heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then immediately responded gratefully.
