fake prince

Chapter 597
Daihoufu

A semi-old bullock cart stopped in front of the Daihou's Mansion in Wanglufang. This area is surrounded by high-ranking families, and the patrolling officers and soldiers are heavily guarded.

The handlebar style is for picking up odd jobs. When I saw it, I was a little timid, took the fare from the woman who got off the car, and left quickly.

The woman was wearing a muslin cotton coat with a light blue skirt underneath. She had black hair and only a silver hairpin pinned to her head. Her skin was fair and fair. Clean and tidy.

After paying the fare, she didn't bother the driver to drive away quickly. She just stood in front of the mansion, looked up at the Daihou's mansion, with a hint of hesitation on her face.

While watching, two ox carts stopped one after the other, and a few children got off from the front carts, and were led into the mansion. They were all dressed in ordinary clothes, but they were not afraid of the high door. Dahu, go in directly.

The next car got off, and there was a doctor with a medicine boy. The medicine boy was about ten years old, and he was carrying a medicine box. The doctor looked like he was in his fifties, and his hair was gray. The smell soaked in the smell of medicinal materials all year round also penetrated into her nose.

"Is someone sick?"

This guess made the woman's hesitation fade away, she gritted her teeth, and went straight up the steps. Just as she was about to explain her reason for coming to the two concierges, she was seen by a woman who came out.

As soon as she saw her, she immediately said: "Come on, come in and work quickly, everyone is busy, don't be in a daze!"

"After watching the house, I have plenty of time to look at it. After getting the salary of the master's house, I have to pay for it, and I can't eat dry food!"

The strange thing is that the two gatekeepers at the door did not stop her. Although the woman thought that she might have identified the wrong person, she was dragged in by the woman because she was intimidated by the aura of the high door.

After entering the door, walk along the corridor a few inches above the ground, turn over a rockery pond, and see that the main rooms and verandahs are all small and unique. From time to time, you can see bird cages. Although most of them are half empty, some of them have been hung up. The parrot and the thrush felt that this place should not be where they came from, and they became nervous.

But after being pointed at by the mother-in-law, she walked to a courtyard in a daze, and seeing the scene in the courtyard, her original impression of the Daihou's Mansion was immediately replaced by the bustle of the mansion.

Seeing that the yard was busy, as far as she could see, the windows and doors of the houses were all open, as if for ventilation, and some young women dressed similarly to her were holding steaming hot pots in their hands. Basins, or holding rags, are cleaning.

Going further inside, you can see an open door. There are several women, of all ages, who are talking and laughing at tailoring. Because there is a brazier in the house and the sun is just right today, they don't mind opening the door to let us in. The cold wind blew in, and everyone showed smiling faces, with joy in their brows and eyes.

Infected by the atmosphere, the woman subconsciously curled her lips, and then saw the doctor who had just entered the mansion give pulses to a group of children one by one and check their bodies.

The aroma of food permeated the air, it was sugar pancakes, very sweet, the woman looked at it timidly, a little annoyed that she came in like this in a daze, at this time explaining to others that she was brought in by the wrong person, would it be okay? Will be scolded?

Just now the mother-in-law brought her in, pointed her to this courtyard, and went to do other things, but the woman knew why she came here, obviously, the mother-in-law mistook herself for someone else.

Just at a loss as to what to do, a few servant girls came out from the corner of the corridor not far away, surrounded by a noble lady, and they came close in a short while.

Seeing that she was standing there timidly and at a loss, the lady stopped and asked softly, "This sister, did you come alone?"

After getting closer, I realized that this noble lady is actually very young, she looks like a young girl, she is still immature, she is just married, she is obviously the wife of the mansion, how can a woman dare to call this noble lady "Sister", and hurriedly replied: " Don’t dare to be a wife, sister, Axiu, a civilian woman, is here to find someone.”

"Looking for someone?" Ye Buhui originally knew that a doctor came to check up on the family members of the old people who had just moved to the East Palace today, so he came to have a look, and happened to meet this woman, but her answer was different. Ye Buhui was slightly stunned.

"Which family in the Eastern Palace are you an old member of?"

East Palace?Axiu's heart trembled, and she hurriedly replied: "The woman is not an old person from the East Palace. The woman, the woman heard that Zeng Nianzhen came to vote for Mr. Su... No, Lord Hou, so I came here to look for Zeng Nianzhen on behalf of the Marquis."

To find Zeng Nianzhen's woman?

Ye Buhui was startled, and then said: "It is true that Mr. Zeng is in the mansion, but he is outside at this time, you rest in the mansion for a while, I will ask him to come back."

As he said that, he said to a woman next to him: "Go to the front yard and ask who knows where Mr. Zeng has gone, and then you can go find it, and say that a girl named Axiu came to him, ask if it is what happened."

"Yes." The mother-in-law took the order and went to the front.

Ye Buhui said to Axiu: "Look at your dusty appearance, did you come to Beijing from another place?"

Axiu blushed, lowered her head, and said with some embarrassment: "Yes, that day... the woman learned that he was going to the capital to vote for Lord Marquis, so she also asked for the address from the brother who carried the letter for him, and followed The familiar caravan went all the way to the capital, and when they entered the capital, they first went to Peach Blossom Lane, where they heard that Lord Hou had moved, so they rushed over immediately."

This is obviously the rhythm of chasing a husband thousands of miles away. Is this Zeng Nianzhen's love debt?
When Ye Buhui heard this, why didn't he understand what was going on?

Looking at the woman in front of her again, although she is in her twenties, she is still a girl, she is wearing a maiden doll, and she has a very gentle demeanor, but there is a kind of tenacity in the gentleness, which makes her quite like it.

As for what is going on between this woman and Zeng Nianzhen, we will have to wait until Zeng Nianzhen returns to find out.

Zeng Nian was really someone her husband valued, so Ye Buhui took her to the wing room, served tea and snacks, talked with her, and waited for a reply.

Juyuan Building Noon

This wine shop was originally Lin Yuqing's property, but when Lin Yuqing fell, the property was divided up, and this place was given to Su Ziji by the young master.

The location is good, built near the water, the capital building is not high, only three floors, but the area is not small, the first floor is quite lively, there are private seats on the second and third floors, separated by a screen, and a private room on the third floor, facing the lake and facing the window , Served a few dishes, looked at the snowflakes outside, Zeng Nian really listened to the lord.

"This Marquis is not greedy for too much. If you are in the capital, it is enough to open another three or five houses, and you will not be able to sustain more." Su Ziji's voice was very clear.

"My lord, there are quite a few restaurants in the capital. Lin Yuqing spent a lot of time in Juyuan Building to find some chefs, but due to the turmoil in the past, a few left."

"Although there is a little profit now, it can't stand out from the crowd. Opening a branch again, I'm afraid it will be very risky." Ye Daoren is a little worried. Now the Hou's mansion has a lot of expenses, and he is the person in charge, so he has to think about it.
