Ling Yun returned to the pond with the water, came to Zhu Hongchen's house, hid in an alley, and made a difficulty. This Taishifu is not easy to enter.

The huge gatehouse is towering, and on the vermilion lacquer plaque on the lintel, there are four big golden characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing: Feng'en Mansion.

This means the Guogong Mansion. The Wuji Empire is divided into six ranks, king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and male. Princes are generally direct members of the royal family. The foreign surname is the king, and they are all great heroes who have made immortal achievements.

Generally speaking, the Duke of the Kingdom is a first-class title. Even if they are national princes, they are mostly ministers who have made great contributions. They are all untouchable characters.

Like Zhu Hongchen, a book with the word Feng'en, the state government was knighted because of his in-laws. When a discerning person saw this kind of plaque, he immediately understood that this was the emperor's father-in-law's family.

It stands to reason that this kind of in-law is a little worse than the kind of national prince who has been knighted for his merits. But in fact, it's quite the opposite. This kind of state duke mansion favored by nepotism is often more arrogant than that of a prince who has been knighted for merit.

The two vermilion-lacquered gates of the Zhu Mansion are open inward. On both sides of the door are large lanterns with the words Zhu Fu on them.

Under the lantern were four servants, dressed in samurai suits, with steel swords hanging from their waists, and nails were usually driven there. It was even more ferocious than the two huge white jade lions in front of the door.

The high blue brick and blue tile courtyard walls on both sides of the gate are not visible at a glance.

Ling Yun was born in the military, and he has seen a more majestic scene than this. But this will, but involuntarily a little uneasy.

It's not that he's afraid of this kind of scene, but he really doesn't know how to get in.

Do you go directly to sign up and let the family members report it, or do you send the worship box first, and then go back to listen to the letter.

"Brother, I pretended to be your entourage and came forward to report to you, do you like it?" Shui Guitang came up with an idea.

Ling Yun groaned and didn't answer. Although he was very witty, he could not make a decision for a while.

Report the name in, maybe Zhu Hongchen will not forget the old love and receive him warmly.

Or maybe he was ungrateful, turned his face and didn't recognize people, came to kill his relatives with righteousness, and locked him up to ask for merit and reward.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun asked Shui Guitang with a wry smile: "Brother Shui, how is this Zhu Hongchen's reputation?"

"The reputation is very good! Famous good man!" Shui Guitang involuntarily raised his fingers and praised endlessly: "Give up cotton jackets in winter, single clothes in summer, and also give medicine to those who can't afford medicine." If there is a year of famine, porridge shacks will be set up to relieve the victims. Everyone said that this was Taishi Zhu who had been assigned and suffered. I know that hard life is not easy. ”

"But why can't I see it?" Ling Yun looked around, muttering suspiciously.

"Hehe, brother, this is rare and strange for you. ”

Shui Guitang said with a smile: "This is the main gate of the Taishi Mansion, how can it be possible to distribute those things here, and it won't become a bazaar? Besides, alms are sometimes given, and they can't be given vigorously for many years." In that case, the Taishi Mansion will open a gold mine, and it will not be able to give alms. All of these things are done in another place. Don't talk about these things, even the people in the Taishi's Mansion come and go, and they all go through the back door. This main gate was specially used to welcome guests and court officials. Isn't that the case in your house?"

Shui Guitang's eyes showed doubt. Ling Yun saw it in his eyes and explained with a smile: "Don't hide it from Brother Shui." Although I am the son of the military master, I am the little waiting master in your mouth. But I was seriously injured when I was born, and I have been looking for medical advice. I rarely live in the house. I don't know all the troubles in the house. ”

"Oh, that's right. Shui Guitang smiled with relief.

"Don't talk about that. Ling Yun smiled bitterly and made up his mind: "Since this is the case, it means that this person is not the ungrateful villain, and the worst plan will probably not fall into the ground." Brother Shui, you wait, I'll go over and try it. ”

"Brother, this is not a hit!" Shui Guitang hurriedly stopped Ling Yun and said with a smile: "You can't just pass like this. ”

"How do you have to get over that?" Ling Yun asked.

Shui Guitang Zhengse said: "My brother is a son, and he is also a guest and aunt of Master Zhu's family. If you go to confess your relatives empty, you will be looked down upon. ”

Ling Yun smiled bitterly: "What should I do? I am penniless now, and I have no money to buy gifts." ”

Shui Guitang smiled: "It's not about gifts. It is often said that an emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. It's nothing else, it's a shelf. Although the brothers did not have gifts, they could not lose their shelves. ”

"Skinny donkeys pull hard, don't they? But I have to have this hard too!" Ling Yun sneered.

"That's not the way it goes. Shui Guitang said happily: "I mean, when the brothers come to the door, don't speak." Put on a delicate posture, and I pretended to be my brother's long-term follower, and stepped forward to report. In this way, he will not lose his brother's status as a petite. ”

"Then I will be wronged Brother Shui!" Ling Yun hugged his fist slightly.

"We are brothers who hit it off at first sight, so don't be polite!" Shui Guitang said: "Especially for a while, don't dare to be polite to me." Otherwise, it won't look good if the horse's feet are exposed. ”

"Say no more. The friendship of my brother is in my heart!" Ling Yun said solemnly, and slapped his body. tidied up his clothes, shook his spirits, held his head high, walked out of the alley, and strode towards Zhu Taishi's mansion.

Shui Guitang trotted, crossed Lingyun, ran to the bottom of the steps of the gate of Han Baiyu, stood still, clasped his fists at the family above, and said loudly: "Hello everyone! We are here to visit relatives, please report to which adult." ”

"Oh, it's really unfortunate!" The head of the family looked at Ling Yun carefully, and said with a smile: "The Taishi family has all gone to Dongyue to make incense." There is no one in charge of the house. We're sorry that we can't be the master of the reception!"

Lingyun looked at each other with the water returning to the pond. Thousands of calculations, but I didn't count it, and people were not at home.

"When will the nobles of the house come back?" asked Shui Guitang.

"If it's fast, it's three months, and if it's slow, it's not possible. I heard that the imperial court intends to let the Taishi envoy to Chaoyang Kingdom, if it really happens. It will take three to five years at the earliest. Jia Ding replied with a smile.

"Childe, this, how is this good" Shui Guitang was dumbfounded, looking at Ling Yun.

Ling Yun smiled helplessly: "Since the master is not here, I have to go back and talk about it." ”

Ling Yun clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said with a sneer: "Then there is Lao Guijie! ”

"Childe and so on. The head of the family stopped the owner of the village and gave another family a look.

The guy ran into the door quickly, ran out in a blink of an eye, held a small red paper bag in both hands, and respectfully handed it to Ling Yun.

"This is" Ling Yun was puzzled.

The head of the family said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, son! When the head of the family left, he once commanded. I was afraid that there would be no one to entertain relatives and friends from afar, so I told us that whenever relatives and friends came, they would give relatives and friends a little Chengyi, so as not to be inconvenient for a while. Please also ask the son to smile. ”

Ling Yun smiled bitterly and watched the water return to the pond, I don't know if it was off the shelf after taking the money.

Seeing this, Shui Guitang stepped forward and said with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Sect! It's better for me to collect it. ”

Ling Yun Chong casually arched his hands, turned around and strode away.

The water returned to the pond and received Cheng Yi, and Shi Li retired.

Seeing Ling Yun go away. The head of the family who received them stepped into the gate, and immediately one of the family members came out and filled his place.

The man took off his knife and strode towards the inner courtyard.
