A majestic mansion near the center of the inner city, with green tiles and red walls, carved beams and painted buildings, and a vermilion gate closed. Two majestic beasts cast of blue iron stand on both sides of the door, and the divine horses are extraordinary. The eyes can still open and close, and in a trance, it seems to swallow clouds and spit out fog, shocking the sky. In front of the door, four spear-wielding soldiers were dressed in fine iron armor, standing tall with their heads held high, and their eyes widened. The four of them are full of qi and blood in their bodies, like the rivers and seas rushing, surging, their eyes are radiant, and occasionally the essence flashes, like a flash of thunder, at least they are strong in the inner realm.

"Rongwang's Mansion"

Rongwang's Mansion is the residence of King Rong, and it is said that one of the two ancestral dragons in the imperial city is in the town of Rongwang's Mansion, which can be said to be the lifeblood of the country.

It is said that the lifeblood of such an important country should be entrusted to the care of the clan brothers, and this has been the case in all dynasties. Only in this dynasty, Meng V tried his best to dispel public opinion, and handed over this important place to a king with a different surname, which is enough to see the importance and trust of the current saint in King Rong.

"The palace is important, and the idle people are leaving as soon as possible!" One of the soldiers saw that the young man with the sword had stayed for a long time, and asked loudly, his voice was like thunder, magnificent, arrogant but not arrogant, and the people of the palace were really not to be underestimated!

"This soldier brother forgive me, I came here to ask to see the prince, this is a token, give the prince a look. Su Qi rarely put away his usual lazy style, took out a ring-shaped jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the soldier who asked the question.

"Wait here until I give an answer to the butler. "When the soldiers saw that the clothes were not as glamorous as those of the princes and nobles of the family, they had their own bearing, and they did not make much difficulty, and after taking the jade pendant, they went into the house to report.

He didn't wait long, and the soldiers who had gone to report opened the door and returned, followed by a lean hunchbacked old man, dressed as a housekeeper, holding a black snake-headed cane, his eyes were cloudy, his qi and blood were decaying, and he trembled with every step, and he was really afraid that he would fall down if a breeze blew.

"Young man, please come into the house. The butler leaned over, struggled across the threshold, and tried to stretch out his head to look at the young man in front of him, and after looking at him, he made a gesture of please.

Su Qi followed behind the housekeeper, passing through the courtyard, lingering back and forth, and everywhere around him could be seen like the four people at the door of the soldiers standing like pine, beautiful maids, Mali little servants, everything in the house was in order, but without exception, when they saw the old people around them, they all put down their work and greeted them cordially, "Hello housekeeper".

Soon, the two of them came to the palace hall, and the butler waved off the maids and servants and asked to sit down.

The housekeeper personally poured a pot of tea for Su Qi, the tea is the best moonlight in the house, it is said that this tea tree will only break the ground to absorb the moonlight on the night of the full moon every month, and overflow the moonlight into the water, which has the effect of prolonging life, and the moon condenses three pieces, and it can only be made into one or two for decades, how many people who love tea are poured for it, and even fight. Now this pot of tea is made of first buds, which is precious and has no price.

Of course, Su Qiyi has no habit of drinking tea, and the two pairs of tea have not studied deeply, I don't know the depth of tea, I only feel that a sip into my throat is refreshing, and it should be good.

"The young man came out of that mountain?" Before Su Qi could answer, the housekeeper in front of him nodded and said to himself: "The prince once instructed that the people who came from the mountain must be well entertained." But unfortunately, the prince just left two days ago because of an emergency, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to come back for a while, so why don't you stay in the house for a few days?"

Su Qi shook his head: "Since the prince is not in the house, then I won't bother, thank the housekeeper for this pot of tea." After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave.

"Slowly, slowly. Seeing that the young man with the knife was about to leave, the housekeeper hurriedly got up and walked two quick steps to the young man's side.

Su Qi saw that the housekeeper was walking hard, trembling, and was afraid that the other party would fall to the ground if he was not careful, so he hurriedly supported the old man. I saw that the palace steward, who couldn't walk steadily, took out a thumb-sized blue stone from his waist and said: "This is what the prince instructed before leaving, if someone from the mountain comes to the mansion, give him this stone." ”

Su Qi took the stone, and when he looked at it left and right, it was just an ordinary stone, and he looked at the housekeeper suspiciously, and saw that the other party shook his head and said that he didn't know either, so he had to put the stone away for the time being.

The housekeeper of the palace was also enthusiastic, and he had to send it to the door in person to see the young man go away. Staring at the distant back of the knife-carrying boy, the palace housekeeper who was in decline muttered: "There was a Qi'ao before, and now there is another knife-carrying boy, the wind and rain are coming!"

......

"Baked cakes, freshly baked baked cakes!" accompanied by the old man's shout, the lid of the pot was lifted with a ball of hot air fluttering up, and then a rich wheat fragrance entered the nose.

"This young man, your cake is ready. The enthusiastic old man hunched over, reached out and pinched out a golden crispy cake from the boiler, put it in a paper bag, and handed it to a young man with a green bamboo knife on his waist on the square table.

Su Qi took it, first inhaled hard with his nose, letting the rich wheat fragrance overflow his nose, and then opened his mouth to take a big bite. One bite down, his lips and teeth were fragrant, Su Qi gave a thumbs up, and said to the old man sincerely: "It's delicious!"

Hearing others boast about his own cakes, the old man was happy, and the wrinkles on his face were squeezed into a pile, and every wrinkle was smiling.

"Uncle, has there been anything new in the city recently?"

"In the city, there are really a lot of new things, one pile after another, it is as high as the entire Bowen Building!" The old man who sold cakes gestured with his hands, and spread his hands exaggeratedly: "But to say a few more sensational things, it is the dispute between the young heads of the Su family; the young son of the Li Shangshu family of Wenge spent a lot of money to buy the square scarf used by the Oiran of Xunfanglou; there is also gossip that the old lady of the Lu family will also choose a son-in-law for the Lu family on her 80th birthday soon......"

"The dispute between the young heads of the Su family, how can you say this?" Su Qi was a little curious about this, after all, the Su family was his next destination, and it was always good to know more.

"Ouch, how can I be an old man selling cakes clearly, just listen to what they say and remember it, it is said that the dispute between the young patriarchs of the Su family is very different from previous years, where is the difference, the old man doesn't know!" The old man grinned, took off the yellowed square towel on his shoulders and wiped the sweat on his forehead, Xu is a little thirsty when he said too much, licked his lips and drank a bowl of water on the side.

Su Qi nodded, thinking that although these things were rumored to be quite popular, some important things must be strictly controlled and would not be known to everyone. Of course, these big families will definitely reveal some rumors, whether it is their own or some other families with interests or conflicts, it is a rare opportunity to improve the prestige of the family, but the details of the affairs must be kept strictly confidential.

After thanking the old man for paying the money, the young man with the knife got up and left.
