Chapter 12: Rebuilding the General's Palace
After several rounds, the big boat that Liu Chen and Beigong Fu were riding finally docked at the Weihe Wharf in the northwest corner of the imperial capital.
Holding the white and chubby little hand, Liu Chen took Beigong Fu to the ground in Chang'an, after the Dragon Boat Festival tragedy, the Weihe Wharf was really deserted, and even today, there was even a trace of blood in the air.
People are still busy, the boatman's horn resounded throughout the Wei River, and on the sparkling river, a gust of wind swayed from time to time, dispelling the reluctance of leaving the guests and blowing the sorrow of returning people.
"During the Dragon Boat Festival, you were injured here. β
Beigong Fu squinted his eyes, looked at the dock market town that had only been repaired for a long time, approached Liu Chen's side, and said coldly, "Only that idiot Xu Yuyao would believe that you were injured by drinking with people outside the city." β
"I can't hide anything from you. Liu Chen shrugged his shoulders, pouted his lips helplessly, watching the breeze blow Beigong Fu's temples, he raised his hand and put the naughty green silk behind her ear again, Beigong Fuqiong's nose wrinkled slightly, and he enjoyed Liu Chen's favor with a happy face, all of this came so naturally, "Do you still know that Yuyao, don't you ignore what is going on outside the window and only read sage books." β
"The story of the toad eating swan meat, no one in the whole academy knows, even if I don't care about anything, but I can't stand those noble ladies chattering on the side every day. β
"Yes, I'm a toad, and a toad can only match your little fat pig!" Rolling his eyes at Beigong Fu, seeing her look disgusted, Liu Chen put his arm around her shoulders and grimaced at her, and the two of them walked towards Suzaku Street while arguing.
Came to Wuyi Lane, the gate of the Cangguo Mansion was closed, and the magnificent and solemn face told all the people passing by here that the Guogong of the Liu family lived here, and the majesty of the Liu family was sacred and inviolable.
"I said the wrong thing just now!" Liu Chen was about to step forward, but Beigong Fu grabbed him, and heard her say with a straight face: "Xu Yuyao is not a stupid person, I have heard of it in Qizhou, she is the smartest woman in the entire Chang'an City!"
Hearing this, Liu Chen stared at Beigong Fu for a long time, then nodded, turned around and walked towards the stairs.
Gently holding the door knocker and buckling it, it didn't take long for the door to reveal a gap, and the smiling face of the old housekeeper Liu Shisan appeared in front of Liu Chen's eyes.
"The young master is back!" Seeing Liu Chen, the folds on Liu Shisan's face all spread out, and a flush of excitement climbed up to the weather-beaten cheeks, "Come in, just go home, just go home!"
After the squeak, the door of the Cangguo Mansion slowly opened, and under the leadership of the old housekeeper, the servants were excited and joyful, and entered the mansion with Liu Chen.
"Uncle Thirteen, I'm a little hungry. β
"Okay, Ah Fu, go to the back kitchen and prepare the food and drinks. Liu Shisan's eyes were slightly red, his gaze crossed Liu Chen, and finally landed on Beigong Fu, who was standing quietly on the side, with a faint expression, looking at the girl in white clothes, the old housekeeper was a little confused, and suddenly raised his head, looked at Liu Chen, and said, "Who is this?"
"My fiancΓ©e!" Liu Chen glanced back at Beigong Fu, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a warm smile rippled on his face.
Seeing Liu Chen's demeanor, the servants of the Guogong Mansion immediately withdrew their gaze from Beigong Fu, and the old housekeeper Liu Shisan was also slightly stunned, and then arched his hand towards Beigong Fu with a smile even more and said, "Old slave, please young grandma!"
Beigong Fu responded lightly, and then stood silently behind Liu Chen's side, without any joy or anger on his face, and the servants found that although this young lady was not amazing, the temperament exuded by her gestures had a feeling of being in the top position for a long time, Liu Chen had lived in the mountains of Fancheng since he was a child, and he didn't know much about these, but in the eyes of Liu Shisan, the chief steward of the Guogong Mansion who had served the Liu family for three generations, Beigong Fu's temperament was not something that ordinary noble ladies could have.
"Beigong?Spirit Clan!" the old housekeeper muttered secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, even if he had too many doubts, in front of his own young master, he would naturally not leak, but the right hand hidden in the cuff moved slightly, and the delicate projectile was crushed by him, and a handful of thin vitality floated into the distance with the shattering of the projectile, and everything that happened between the lightning and flint was seen by Beigong Fu.
"Young master, young grandma has worked hard all the way, please go into the house with the old slave, wait a while, the kitchen will be ready soon!" took Liu Chen and Beigong Fu to the flower hall, and after arranging for someone to serve tea, Liu Shisan bowed down and stood beside Liu Chen, lowered his voice and smiled: "Do you want to inform Miss when the young master comes back?"
"No need to be informed. Liu Chen smiled in his eyes, picked up the crystal clear porcelain cup casually, sipped the tea and said: "I'll rest for a while, and we'll see each other when the deer feasts!"
"Does the young master still need anything, just tell the old slave, and the old slave will do it immediately!"
"I've been missing for so long, is there any news from Uncle?"
"The Holy Lord said, the grievances between the younger generations, the young master can just get back face, if someone bullies the small, I Cangzhou billions of living beings, I should be the only young master to look forward!"
"Okay!" Liu Chen recalled Liu Fengfeng's words, and after bowing his head slightly, he already had a plan in his heart, "I will return to the imperial capital, and I will trouble the thirteenth uncle to inform everyone in the mansion, don't spread the word yet, and when the Luming banquet comes, I should take back everything I have lost!"
"Young master, don't worry!" The old housekeeper bowed his hand again, and said with a smile on his face: "The children in the mansion are all my Cangzhou children, so they are naturally very reliable, and the news that the young master and young grandmother have returned to Chang'an, the old slave will not let it spread to the state mansion." β
Liu Chen and Liu 13 chatted with each other, and it didn't take long for the grandmother in charge of the noble life of the Guogong Mansion to come to the flower hall with a team of beautiful maids, and the delicious delicacies with all the colors and flavors were placed on the dining table not far from Liu Chen, after the grandmother saluted Liu Chen and Beigong Fu, she left the flower hall, smelling the delicious food carefully cooked by the chef of the Guogong Mansion, Liu Chen's stomach suddenly felt even more hungry, and coughed lightly towards Beigong Fu, who was sitting and reading, and then stood up in a daze, and looked at Liu Shisan embarrassedly and said: "Uncle Thirteen, let's eat by ourselves, don't accompany me here, just do whatever you need to do. I'm calling you for something. β
Liu Shisan bent his shoulders, smiled at Liu Chen, arched his hand, raised his feet and walked out of the house.
"Uncle Thirteen stays!" Just when the old butler had just crossed the threshold, Liu Chen had an idea, raised his hand and called softly, Liu Thirteen kept a smile and turned his head, bowed down and asked, "What else does the young master command?"
"I want to ......" Liu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, and his face changed for a long time before he gritted his teeth and said firmly: "I want to rebuild General Xuanwei's mansion, after all, this is the mansion of the ninth uncle, and it is my real home!"
"What?" Liu Shisan was stunned, a fine light flashed in his eyes, and when he looked up at Liu Chen again, the habitual warm smile had disappeared, looking at the old man's red eyes, Liu Chen could clearly understand the relief and excitement in Liu Shisan's heart after he made this request.
"Okay!" Liu 13 took the opportunity of raising his hand to quietly wipe a handful of old tears, and when he spoke again, even his voice began to tremble a little, "The old slave will order to go down, and work will start tonight, before the Lu Ming banquet, I respectfully invite the young marshal to stay in the General's Mansion!"
