"Huh? Why don't you see Brother Lin?" After Li Xiaoran got off the boat, he looked around, but no Lin Chen was seen.
"Young Master Lin hasn't gotten off the boat yet, right?" Liu He looked at the ship building with his eyes.
"Have you got off the boat?" Li Xiaoran suddenly felt that it was possible and his eyes also looked at the big ship.
Brother Lin is a bit weird during this period. He even walks with a smile. Could it be that the beauty has an appointment?
"Give it a little, let it a little..."
Lin Chen walked through the crowd and saw Li Xiaoran and others looking up the boat building. So he walked over and patted Li Xiaoran on the shoulder, and smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I've let everyone wait for a long time."
Li Xiaoran turned around, and when he saw the long flute in Lin Chen's hand, he smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Lin has gained a lot this time!"
How could Lin Chen not understand what his smile meant? He coughed dryly and said, "I met a "heartfelt soul" on the boat these days. This long flute was given to him by that soulmate."
He said a few simple words, then pulled the topic away, looked at Liu He, and said, "Since we are all here, please ask Uncle Liu to lead the way!"
Jingzhou City is a treasure land under the jurisdiction of Zangjian Villa. Its area is located in the center of Jingchu, with well-connected roads and prosperous economy. It is an extremely prosperous transportation hub. The annual tax revenue alone accounts for as much as 30% of the annual revenue of Zangjian Villa!
Although Zangjian Villa is not far from here, the management attitude of Zangjian Villa towards Jingzhou City is completely different from that of Wangyue Tower for Wangyue City.
Liu He was originally a native of Jingzhou. He walked in the front to lead the way. Before Lin Chen and others entered the city gate, they saw twelve people wearing swords at their waists separated into two rows under the tall city gate, standing in the left and right corners of the city gate. If any suspicious people with bad intentions want to sneak into the city, they are afraid that they will draw their swords immediately!
Jingzhou City, the Mu Family.
When Lin Chen was chatting with Liu He before, he heard Liu He say that there are several big families in Jingzhou City, and the Mu family is one of them. Not only does the Mu family have many wineries, food buildings and other industries under its name, but also the Mu family’s master, Mu Yunchang, also serves as the deputy city lord in Jingzhou City Mansion established by Zangjian Villa. It can be said that he has both power and money!
However, Lin Chen knew a lot about the statement "Jingzhou City Mansion".
If Lin Chen remembered the position of city lord correctly, it should be the position of prefect in the official system of Jin State.
In the world, especially in places like Nanling, where all regions are governed by their own jurisdiction, many powerful sects will set up various "city" in their places and recruit local elites to work for themselves. First, for the sake of convenience of management, and second, they also declare to the four countries of Jin, Qing, Liang and Xia: This place is my territory, don’t even think about it!
During the period when Taibai Jianshan was at its peak, Taibai Prefecture was established, and Taibai Prefecture, Prefecture, County and other positions were established. The jurisdiction of his land occupied almost half of Guanzhong. Although the Emperor of Jin was so angry that he had no choice but to do anything. He had to issue an imperial edict on the surface and recognize the status of Taibai Prefecture.
But later, Taibai Jianshan gradually withered, and there were only a few people after counting. Not to mention the distant places, even the towns under Qinchuan were unable to manage them, so they simply ignored them. Anyway, there were only a few people, so it was not impossible to support them...
Although Taibai County no longer belongs to Taibai Jianshan at this time, Lin Chen often went there to play when he was a child, so he knew a lot about such things.
Several people hired a carriage and soon arrived at Jingui Street where the Mu family lived.
In front of the grand gate, there were two mighty stone silhouettes looking forward, and above the gate, two powerful words written in golden lacquer - Mufu!
As soon as the carriage stopped, Liu He immediately jumped out of the carriage from the side of the coachman, trotted to the door of the Mu Mansion, reached out to hold the bronze knocker, and knocked on it a few times. While knocking on the door, he shouted: "Open the door quickly, the lady is back!"
Lin Chen also got out of the car. He looked around and finally fell on the two stone tiles.
These two stone slabs, both the expressions of their eyes and faces, and the movements on their bodies, were carved vividly. If the texture of the stone was not too obvious, I was afraid that some people would think that these two statues were alive! It can be seen that the master who carved these two statues was really superb!
Even if someone can't understand the cleverness of these two stone tiles, as long as you see these two statues placed in front of the door, you can know that there must be a wealthy and noble family living here.
Although this is just two stone tiles placed in front of the door, there are certain rules and tricks in it.
Among folk legends, the sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred
Nowadays, the stone silhouette is no longer exclusive to the royal family, but it is not something ordinary people can invite them home. What is the other place? Lin Chen is not very clear, but in Jin State, besides the royal family, there are only kings, dukes, prime ministers and other extremely powerful people who can ask for a silhouette to take care of the portal. Although this is Nanling, most of the habits here are not much different from that in Jin State. Even if it is coins, the copper coins of Jin and Qing are mainly circulated, so you can imagine what the Mu family's status is in this Jingzhou City. You will know it by looking at the two silhouettes in front of the gate.
Soon, a burst of rapid footsteps came from behind the thick dark door, and then a "creaked" shock. A small gap was opened. A man in a house servant looked out from behind the door and looked out.
"Uncle Liu?" The servant immediately looked happy when he saw Liu He standing in front of the door. He immediately opened half of the door covered by the door, walked out of the Mu Mansion, and said, "Uncle Liu, you are finally back, where is the eldest lady?"
Although Liu He was just a groom, he had already started working for the Mu family since his father's generation. Liu He was even a special groom in Mu Yunchang's youth. He calculated his qualifications and belonged to the older group, so many servants would shout "Uncle Liu" when they saw him.
Liu He smiled, turned around, pointed to the carriage parked not far from the gate of the Mu Mansion and said, "Here, the eldest lady is in that carriage."
The servant looked in the direction Liu He pointed, and saw a carriage parked not far from the right side of the door, and next to the carriage were two young people standing under a stone silhouette, talking and laughing.
"Are those two..." The servant was puzzled, and at the same time, a hint of vigilance arose in his heart.
Although Nanzhou's ban on weapons is not as strict as other places, and a portal with a little economic condition will prepare a sword at home to prevent it from being a special situation, but... except for the government and the people in the martial arts world, who would have nothing to do with this kind of thing?
Judging from the two people's dress, it was obvious that they could not be people working in the City Lord's Mansion. So if you think about it, you will only be people from the martial arts world!
However, Jingzhou City is backed by the Zangjian Villa, the largest sect in Jingchu, and the head of the Mu Mansion serves as the deputy city lord in this Jingzhou City. Therefore, even if a man from the Jianghu City comes to the Mu Mansion, he will have to settle down!
Liu He looked at Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran and said, "Oh, these two young heroes are the guards who escorted the young lady back along the way. You can't say much when standing at the door. Go and invite the master's wife out!"
When the servant heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll inform the master and his wife now, and Uncle Liu will take them to the living room first."
Liu He nodded and said, "Go quickly!"
The servant immediately turned around and ran into the maid's house.
Liu He trotted to the carriage, tapped gently at the car window, and said, "Miss, I have asked someone to invite the master and his wife, please go to the mansion first."
"Okay!" Mu Yuejiao, who was sitting inside, responded.
I saw Xiao Yue'er lifting the curtain, walking out of the carriage, and smiling at it, "Hehe, Miss, you're home!"
Mu Yuejiao grabbed the car door with her scallion hand, and crawled out from inside with her skirt in the other hand. Xiao Yue'er, who was standing under the carriage, immediately stretched out and helped her out of the car.
Several people walked into the Mu Mansion.
In the pastoral palace, there are all kinds of attics and pavilions, which are more elegant than the grand gates that are written in gold lacquer and guarded by silhouettes.
Liu He and his few people walked through a corridor covered with green shade and sunshine and walked into a hall.
The decoration in the hall is very luxurious, with valuable appreciation pieces placed everywhere. The picture hanging directly above the hall says: "Home harmony and business" has a thick and powerful pen tip, which is obvious at first glance the pen of a famous artist.
"Please sit here for a while, the master and the wife will arrive in a while!" Liu He said to Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran.
Lin Chen nodded, sat on a chair, and looked at the furnishings in the hall.
"Please use tea for your son!" Two little maids walked out from behind the hall, each poured a cup of tea for Lin Chen and Li Xiaoran, and then brought melon seeds and peanuts and other snacks.
Soon, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the back hall. After a while, a man and a woman walked into the hall.
The man should be in his forties, with his eyebrows and eyes straight and his height of more than seven feet. He was wearing a black robe, a jade belt, and a jade pendant, a sachet, a small sword and other decorations. He looked like the official uniform of the prefect of the Jin State, but if he looked closely, he would find many differences.
The woman looks younger, dressed in luxurious clothes, and there are not many jewelry such as gold, silver, jewelry, etc. When she walks, the gold chains and jade beads are shaking, and she is really a treasure.
These two are Mu Yuejiao's parents, Mu Yunchang and Ning Wenyu.
