Chapter 26 Check-in

The tall and spacious city lord's mansion is located in a T-shape at the end of Xihua Street, the most prosperous city in the southern capital, the main street is nearly seven or eight zhang wide from south to north, and the east-west auxiliary road is almost half the width of the main road, this is the traffic transfer point fortress, generally there are no vendors set up here, because there are two long and slightly narrower streets on both sides of the main road, parallel to it, all the vendors, juggling and festival activities are almost concentrated in this area.

And there were basically no people walking a few meters away from the City Lord's Mansion, so when the carriage stopped, several people didn't feel any noise, and the surroundings were very empty.

Looking at the high wall of the city lord's mansion again, I am afraid that it is more than three zhang high, and from a distance, you can see the guards on the city tower standing straight with spears, observing every move outside the high wall.

As soon as the carriage stopped, as soon as Yun Manqing jumped out of the carriage, the guards at the head of the city gave a secret whistle to his companions at the city gate. Not long after, the vermilion gate slowly opened, and guards on duty came to greet them.

"See the county lord. Two guards in silver-gray armor with bronze swords on their right saluted.

In fact, just now Yun Yi and Yun Fei had already informed the guards guarding the city of the news that the county lord was about to return, so as soon as the secret whistle of the guards at the head of the city sounded, they immediately opened the city gate to greet them.

Since the carriage was hired on the street, the group had to walk to the house at this time.

You must know that the entire City Lord's Mansion covers an area of almost several hundred acres, and it takes about an hour or two to walk around it, and it is possible to get lost.

Yun Manqing looked at Yebai, who was hugging Ruochu, and asked, "Do you want the guards to help Sister Ruochu prepare a step?"

"No, you don't. Yebai looked at Wan Ruochu, who was sleeping very peacefully in her arms, and shook his head.

"Then I'll take you to your lodgings first. ”

Everyone followed Yun Manqing across a wide road paved with marble, and saw a magnificent building with resplendent gold in the distance. Its shape is octagonal heavy eaves and pointed type, eight sides out of the corridor, and under it is the pedestal of the Sumeru seat. The top of the hall is paved with golden glazed tiles and trimmed edges, the front and back are square eaves columns, the column head is decorated with flying birds and clouds and totems, and the sandalwood fang Shi blue, white and red and other multi-color paintings, etc., give the mysterious color of the ancient family of the Yun clan in the southern capital.

On the door of the temple in front of this building are three large black characters written uprightly: Qinzheng Palace.

In front of and around the main hall is a white marble railing carved with dragon patterns, which extends along the steps of the same white marble to a wider pavement.

Everyone sighed at the grandeur of this hall, and stopped to look forward.

"Lord Manman, is this the main hall of your Southern Capital, it's really magnificent!" Zi Yan couldn't help but admire. You must know that every time he came to the world, because of his love for formations, he basically spent his time on the old pine tree with a crooked neck before, and he really gave up all the beautiful things in the mortal world and hung himself on a tree.

"Yes. Yun Manqing replied a little disapprovingly, "Every time my brother talks about political affairs with those old ministers with long beards and white eyebrows, they talk all morning, and they don't have much time to play with me. ”

You must know that Yun Manqing's parents died early, and in this city lord's mansion, except for her brother, who was the city lord, there was no one else to accompany her. Everyone treated her with respect, it was so boring.

"Didn't your brother help you marry a group of imperial sisters-in-law?" Yinzhu asked with some puzzlement, you must know that when she came to the world with her own young lady before, many of the men she saw were three wives and four concubines, especially the imperial emperor, who was full of three thousand pink delicacy in the harem.

"Sister Yinzhu, don't you know, my Nandu Yun clan has always chosen only one partner to accompany him for a lifetime, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, even if the other party unfortunately dies, he will not take someone else. The flamingo totem symbolizes our determination to be loyal to our love and to be dedicated to death. But flamingos are passionate and bold and yearn for freedom, and I hope you are not intimidated by them. Yun Manqing said with some embarrassment, "They love all the good things in the world enthusiastically, but they will never betray their other half." Therefore, either you don't choose, once you choose, you will be a couple. ”

"Wow, that's impressive. Yinzhu couldn't help but sigh that the people in their southern capital were too infatuated.

"Nandu Yun's clan is worth having, should Sister Yinzhu consider taking one?" Yun Manqing smiled and joked with her.

"Then I don't want to. Yinzhu waved his hand, "Do you want to watch the other party go through life, old age, sickness and death in front of you, and then live miserably with memories of him?"

Yun Manqing listened to her words, and her expression couldn't help but dim, then wouldn't she and Katafeng be together.

"Lord Manman, where are you going next?" Ziyan asked as she looked at Yun Manqing, who was a little absent-minded.

"Oh, to the left. Yun Manqing came back to her senses, hurriedly quickened her pace, walked in front of them, and led the way.

You must know that since ancient times, the left is the top, which is for the honor. Therefore, in order to receive important foreign envoys or other important guests, three or four vermilion high walls were built on the left side of the Qinzheng Palace, which were also palaces with golden glazed tiles.

"Or you will live in this palace. Yun Manqing was very trouble-free, and chose the first one as their resting place nearby.

There are some green bamboos planted on both sides of this palace, and a few bamboo leaves fall down from time to time, and fall at the door of the main hall with the breeze, fortunately, there are palace people to clean it every day, so as not to pile up. The sandalwood fang of the main hall is also painted in red, white and blue, and there are three big characters written on the flat forehead in the center: Yong'an Palace, and the font is the official book of Yazheng rules. Two rosewood doors with two lion heads knockers and two golden rings in their mouths. When the wind is a little stronger, it will also knock on the door.

"It looks good. Yinzhu ran forward with some excitement and gently pushed open the door of the main hall.

The layout and design of the Yong'an Hall are not as formal as the main hall, and they are more flexible and casual, just like the courtyard in front of the large family.

In the middle of the lake is a small man-made lake, and a small pavilion is built in the middle of the lake for people to rest. Along the stretch of the wooden bridge over the water, there is a rockery at the end of the lake, and there are some pink petaled orchid flowers and low shrubs planted on the side.

"Let's go this way. Yun Manqing led everyone to the right side of the lake to walk on a road paved with cobblestones and gravel, and at the end of the road they saw a white wall with a circular arch in the middle, and people smelled a fragrance before they reached it.

When I walked through the door, I found that there was a house in the shape of a mouthpiece, with a granite frosted floor in the middle, and two sets of small round tables and round stools made of stone, all of which were smooth and polished.

There is a tall and straight osmanthus tree in the middle of the courtyard, the breeze blows, the milky yellow stamens slowly fall, and the flowers fall colorfully.

The fragrance of flowers smelled outside the house is this charming fragrance of osmanthus flowers.

"Wow, that's so fragrant, isn't it? Yinzhu excitedly ran to the bottom of the tree, happily spinning in circles, letting the petals fall on her shoulders.

"There are eight rooms here, and it is the main hall of the Yong'an Temple. In addition, there are two side halls, which are in the shape of the main hall, although they are side halls, the rooms and layouts in the house are exactly the same as here. If it's too crowded, you can live separately. Yun Manqing showed them the rooms and accommodations here.

"That's enough here. Yebai nodded to her, satisfied.

"Well, I also think that everyone should live together and have a good time. Yun Manqing led Yebai to the two rooms directly opposite the gate and said, "Brother Yebai, you and Sister Ruochu will live in these two rooms." ”

Yebai looked at the situation in the courtyard, there were three rooms on each side of the east and west, and two rooms opposite the main entrance, a total of eight rooms. The two rooms arranged for them, sitting north and facing south, are not only ventilated and breathable, but also will not be directly irradiated by sunlight, which is indeed conducive to healing injuries and recuperating their spiritual cultivation. So he didn't shirk it, and walked to the room near the east with his arms.

Everyone didn't rush to find a room for themselves, but followed behind Yebai, wanting to help him settle down like Ruochu.

The door of the room here is not as vermilion or red sandalwood as outside, but all of them are faint crescent white, which matches the golden osmanthus flowers falling all over the ground in the courtyard.

Yinzhu walked in front of Yebai and helped him open the door.

After Yebai walked into the room, he gently put Wanruchu on the bed, took off his shoes, and covered it with a brocade quilt.

Then, walk to the side and open the window to let in.

"Manman, I want to trouble you to prepare some tonic herbs, and you have to help me find a place to boil some decoction, and the young lady can wake up so that he can replenish his body. ”

"Don't worry, it's been arranged a long time ago. Yun Manqing had a relieved expression on my face.

After hearing in the inn that Wanru had just woken up and needed to make up, she quietly asked the two brothers Yunfei and Yunyi to prepare, even if they didn't come to the City Lord's Mansion, she would also send them over.

Thinking of the situation when she had instructed the two brothers before, she couldn't help but want to laugh again.

"Yun Fei Yunyi helped me go to Yunji Pharmacy to get some tonic medicines such as thousand-year-old ginseng and century-old Ganoderma lucidum. "People who don't know think it's going to take turnips and cabbage!

"County Lord, whose account is kept?" Yun Yi had to ask this question every time.

"Ah, whatever, it's not about catching loaches in the rice bowl and pouring the left pocket into the right pocket. Yun Manqing said nonchalantly.

"It's not the same. If you remember you, the share at the end of the year will be less, which is equivalent to the loach slipping out of the rice bowl, because every time the city lord will donate the share. Yunfei helped her analyze.

"Remember the lord of the city. ”

"Then who will get the herbs, and who will suffer?"

"Yun Yi!" Yun Manqing didn't want to reply. "Remember to do it yourself. ”

"Ah, why am I always injured!" Yun Yi protested, the county lord always liked to arrange for him to do hard work.

Because you're not as smart as Yun Fei, Yun Man sneered.
