Chapter 176 The Hou Mansion walks separately

Yichunyuan,

Spring Tower,

At the entrance, the madam was leaning there, so Zhang Jinyu had to push him away and said,

"Okay, go greet them, I'm on my way."

After Zhang Jinyu finished speaking, she walked up the stairs without waiting for the madam to reply. "Don't tell me, that one is very real and big."

"Oh, Master Hou, please slow down, I've hurt you just now."

The old madam begged relentlessly from the east side. As soon as he said this, Zhang Jinyu stumbled and almost slipped down the east stairs, but was held by Yueshu and his two daughters.

The second daughter also secretly pinched Zhang Jinyu's legs and arms. Looking at the unhappy second daughter, Zhang Jinyu smiled helplessly.

"Okay, let's just do it for the occasion. I'll look at you two. Don't forget about me, little boy."

Only then did the two girls change their expressions. While they were upstairs, the Madam was a little reluctant to leave her. She didn't expect that the Marquis would not deny her.

The madam felt a little itchy when she thought of this, and her love for many years was a little fluttering. She couldn't help but pinch her legs, and looked up again unconsciously.

Um?

The madam calmed down and took a closer look at the boy next to Luo Yunhou. His figure, skin, and small waist were clearly not a woman.

The old bustard's eyes widened in disbelief. He was very good at taking care of women in the brothel, and Marquis Luo Yun was so good at it.

Sure enough, he is noble and has many hobbies and interests.

Thinking of this, the madam shook her head and continued to greet them.

Zhang Jinyu took a quick look at the second floor and found that the area where the place had been damaged had been completely renovated and the distance between tables had been increased. Others had also been renovated. Looking to the east of the building, it looked like a performance hall.

There is a large platform in the middle, almost as high as the second floor. Good guy, there are experts in Chunlou.

After looking around for a while, there was no difference, so I went straight to the third floor. The view from the third floor was better, but the distance between the buildings was obviously a little short, and I didn't know what the purpose was.

Of course, there were a lot of people, half of them actually made it. If you look closely, they were basically the children of small aristocratic families in the capital, officials, three or five groups, and they started eating first. Of course, there were also a lot of kiln sisters, with those legs.

Sneaking right in, Sister Yao couldn't bear it any longer.

Only then did Zhang Jinyu understand why the third floor was shorter. Was it to reduce the space and block the light? No wonder the third floor was so much bolder than the one east of the building.

When the three girls saw it, their faces turned red with embarrassment. They were so filthy. They snorted coldly. Zhang Jinyu hurriedly recovered and pulled the three of them to the fourth floor.

There were already stewards and guards checking the invitations at the fourth floor stairs. They took out the invitations and handed them over. The steward respectfully took them and looked at them. There was a maid behind him leading the way.

The steward handed the invitation back and said;

"Master Marquis, just follow this girl. There will be a private waiting room there."

"become."

The group of people followed the maid and walked inside. They came to a small box and stood still.

"Master Marquis, that's your box. You can rest there tomorrow night. If you need anything, just ask your servant."

"OK."

Zhang Jinyu didn't hesitate to push the door open and enter. Although it was not very spacious, the outside was so long and deep. When you walked to the end and opened the window, you could see the high platform on the first floor. There was a large platform on the side of the window.

Amplified horn.

Such a genius of design.

After everyone had left, there was a knock on the door. Duan Hong opened the door and saw maids walking in carrying fruits, tea, pastries, melon seeds, etc. They placed them one by one and walked out.

Zhang Jinyu walked boredly by the window and looked east. As soon as she raised her head, she saw the window on the wrong side. It was Prince Zhou. They both saw the wrong side and clasped their fists in respect. Then Zhang Jinyu withdrew.

Picked up the melon seeds and started to crack them.

"We'll just stay there without asking to go anywhere. If we need anything, call Duan Hong and the others."

Yang Shihu asked;

"Then where does the Marquis want to go? Are you looking for someone to be famous? He looked around and there is no one more beautiful than him."

The two girls on the side also nodded in agreement.

"What are you thinking about? He's not going anywhere. He's going to rest for a while and wait and see what happens when everyone is here."

The three girls nodded vaguely, then gathered around the table and started eating.

Zhang Jinyu went to the window again and looked eastward. Many officials from the capital were here, including many border army generals.

Zhang Jinyu looked carefully and saw Niu Jizong. Although he only met Niu Jizong once in the gate tower outside the pass, the flag he held when he led the cavalry to charge against the Jurchens had Niu written on it. It must be Niu Jizong, the Shuoyang frontier soldier.

Already.

Since this person is here, it means that other generals of the border army are here, and the Beijing camp should also be here, so we don't know whether the imperial army will come.

Thinking of Kang Guichen, the commander of the imperial army at the city gate, that loyal and simple man, I feel strange in my heart. It is a rare commander, and I don't know if there is any place for him to use it. Although the imperial army is good, it is not a prison.

And outside the Luo Yunhou Mansion.

When Mrs. Wang saw Zhang Jinyu leaving, she stopped hiding and said to Wei Yong by mistake;

"Go to the backyard and call someone and get them ready to go,"

"No master."

Wei Yong replied with a fist at his side, and then a servant in makeup beside him quickly ran towards the backyard, where the carriage and the guards of the Hou Mansion were already ready. He saw them leaving the Hou Mansion and heading towards Yichun Courtyard from the back street.

Drive towards the intersection due east.

The purpose is like picking someone up, but it's not quite the same.

Then, at the side door, a large number of guards turned into common people's attire, and they quickly left the mansion and disappeared with sharp swords in their hands.

Mrs. Wang and her entourage also followed quickly and took a detour through another path. Everything was silent.

When they arrived at an alley, Mrs. Wang did not go to Chunlou, but walked around the place several times. Wei Yong was beside her and observed carefully.

"Master, there are no Red Lotus Sect Liudong people around."

Wang Shihan squinted her eyes and smiled,

"Then Senior Sister has become so powerful, and now Ruming has also learned to be careful?"

Wei Yong looked around and whispered;

"Master, will the Central Plains Church change the memory?"

Wang Shihan shook his head,

"No, this is a secret code that is difficult to decipher. Those who had memorized the top positions well would not have been able to climb out."

"Master, what should I do?"

"Don't rush to find a teahouse and walk around for a while. He might have found something interesting."

"No, Master."

Several people were walking scattered in the street. When a few guards saw a tea shop at the intersection, they walked directly around it. There were three tables outside, leaving one table inside. Wang Shihan and Wei Yong walked over and threw it away.

I got a dozen big bucks and shouted;

"The shopkeeper is here for tea."

"Okay, wait a moment objectively."

I saw an older man coming here with a half-year-old grandson. He boiled a pot of hot water and poured tea foam from the porcelain jar at the back. It was the cheapest kind.

He took a teapot and poured the tea foam into it, and then poured boiled water into it. Then the old man carefully covered the teapot with a lid, then carefully brought it over, wiped the tea bowl with a clean cloth and set it up.

A bowl of tea.

Mrs. Wang looked at the strange yet familiar scene in front of her and said with a complicated expression;

"It's been a long time since I've been to a roadside tea shop like that. I remember when I was in Shuoyang, that bowl of tea on the roadside really quenched my thirst. I didn't see that tea shop when I went to Beijing that time."

Wei Yong naturally knew that the tea shop the saint was talking about would have changed over the past ten years, so he said carefully;

"Master, the old man from the tea shop is gone long ago. There is a severe drought in the north every year, and thieves are on the rise, and the world is getting worse and worse."

"No, it's getting harder and harder for the people to survive, and the refugees outside the city have nowhere to go. Please, Jinyu agrees to send all those people outside the customs. I wonder how many people are begging to die?"

Mrs. Wang also felt a little emotional, worried about the plight of the refugees and the hidden dangers of those people.

Wei Yong also tried to ask;

"Master, with so many refugees pouring into the outside of the customs, the hidden dangers are quite big. Those who came to Beijing from Tianzhudong also went to inquire about it. There are many people from the Taiping Sect outside the city, and of course people from the leader of the Red Lotus Sect are also mixed in. Then

I beg you to go outside the customs, then."

Mrs. Wang naturally knows about this, but there is a shortage of people outside the customs. She has found a way to remove the choking, so she is not worried;

"Don't worry, those people are all from the Hou Mansion. The power of life and death rests with the Hou Mansion. Let Commander Xiao find a way to control it. Anyone who dares to take the lead is welcome."

"Master, don't worry, I will inform you as soon as you get back from Dongdong."
