Rise From the Humble

In the capital city, the east is rich, the west is noble, the south is humble, and the north is poor!

Xicheng District is a place where nobles gather in the capital. It is the center and prosperous area of ​​Gyeonggi. Gonghou Street in Xicheng is also a famous noble district in Xicheng.

In the distance, a person and a horse walked into Gonghou Street. Although this person's clothes were considered clean, compared with the personable people around him, he couldn't help but feel a little rough. Compared with the luxurious and prosperous Gonghou Street Seems a little out of place.

One man and one horse made the nobles in the past look down upon him and felt that this guy had lowered the overall grade of Gonghou Street!

Is this a poor relative from whose hometown?

When a certain eldest lady in the sedan chair passed by, she even covered her nose with an embroidered handkerchief, and rolled her big eyes at a rough and honest boy outside the window.

"Hey, Cui'er, tell them to slow down, I'm watching that person going to the Linhuai Marquis Mansion."

From the corner of her eyes, the girl in the sedan chair saw the man running towards the gate of the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion, she couldn't help stretching out her small hand from the curtain of the sedan chair to stop the accompanying maid Tweet.

This is an elegant and luxurious sedan chair, exquisite and elegant, with crimson satin as the curtain and decorated with necklaces and tassels, giving it a strong boudoir feel. He was accompanied by two maids, two old women, and two young men carrying the sedan chair.

"That's true, Miss. It turns out that they are poor relatives of Miss Li's family. Slow down, both of you." The accompanying maid Cui Er also saw it, and following her lady's order, slowed down the two servants carrying the sedan chair.

As a result, the sedan slowed down, then turned around and headed slowly towards the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.

The eldest lady in the sedan chair opened a corner of the sedan window, and watched from afar the man and the horse entered the Linhuaihou mansion. The concierge of Linhuaihou's mansion seemed to recognize the poor relative in the country, and offered to help lead the horse in. Seeing this, the eldest lady in the sedan couldn't help but smile.

"The last time I went to the tea poetry meeting in the Marquis of Lingbi, the three sisters in the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion laughed at the poor relatives of Sister Tang's family. There are no poor relatives. Haha...I wonder what the third sister of Linhuai Marquis Mansion will say this time."

"Cui'er, turn around, I'm going to Lingbihou Mansion to talk to Sister Tang."

The eldest lady in the sedan chair lowered the curtains and gave a soft order to the outside. She couldn't bear to share this news with the Fifth Miss of Lingbihou Mansion. It was very interesting to think about it.

When the sedan turned around and turned towards the Lingbi Marquis Mansion, Zhu Ping'an had already entered the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. The last time Zhu Ping lived in the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion for a month, there were few male masters in the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion, and Zhu Ping'an was the number one scholar in the new department, so it was difficult for the concierge to forget. Although Zhu Ping'an is busy, but the doorman recognized him at a glance, and opened the doorman Zhu Ping'an from a distance to welcome him in. He picked it up in front of Zhu Ping'an and saluted. He took it in his hand and took it to the stable to feed him. There was also a porter who went to the second gate to tell the fifth uncle that he was back.

"Uncle, you must be exhausted from the journey. I will send a bucket of hot water to your room."

The concierge flattered him with a wink, and even changed his title from Mr. Zhu to uncle. The news about Zhu Ping'an and Li Shu's marriage in Xiahe Village was also known to the whole house. Their concierge was the most well-informed in the house. Naturally, I knew it early.

"Then it's time to work." Zhu Ping'an was not polite, and casually took two silver beans and gave them to the concierge. He had been so tired all the way, and he really needed a bath.

"Thank you, uncle, for the reward." The concierge was overjoyed. These two silver beans were enough for the concierge to enjoy the wine and dishes for several days.

"Uncle, during the time you returned to your hometown, your two friends came to see you twice and asked you to come back to them... A master from the government also came once, and left when he saw that you were not there... Your horse The black horse is two times fatter than when he left..."

The concierge was also a talkative, especially after receiving two silver beans as a reward. He talked a lot about what happened in the house along the way.

Zhu Ping'an listened with great interest, occasionally responded, and took a shortcut led by the concierge. He walked through the garden along the path, turned a corner and arrived at the location of the guest room, and then walked not far to reach the upper floor. The next time was the guest room courtyard where Zhu Ping'an lived.

"Thank you." After entering the courtyard, Zhu Pingan thanked the concierge who helped carry the luggage.

"Why are you so polite to us?" the concierge said.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps and girls' voices outside the courtyard door. Soon several girls entered the courtyard. The leader was a woman in her twenties, wearing a light blue armor and a mask underneath. She wore a pink skirt with a waist and a base, and tied a light purple gauze belt around her waist. Her face was lightly painted with powder, and she was dressed neatly. There were several little maids following behind her.

This person Zhu Ping'an had met several times. She was Zijuan, the maid beside the old lady. She was the one who greeted Li Shu and him outside the door when they first came to the Hou Mansion.

Zicuckoo entered the yard, walked over in a few steps and bowed, then stood up and said with a smile, "My uncle is back. The old lady has been thinking about you and the fifth lady recently. I was worried about not joining you a few days ago. I regret my marriage, and I have eaten less than half a bowl of food for several days. What a coincidence, just now the old lady was talking about you and Miss Fifth, and then my uncle came back. "

As expected of the big girl next to the old lady, she really knows how to talk, and no one can fault her for what she says or does.

"I am worried about you, Mrs. Lei, but you are safe." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and replied with his hands in hand.

"Giggle... I'm still calling you Madam. It's time for me to change my name to Grandma." Zicuckoo smiled and reminded her.

"Oh, yes." Zhu Ping'an nodded seriously when he heard this, and then thanked Zijuan, "Thank you for the reminder, girl."

"What kind of girl is the maidservant? My aunt just call me Zijuan." Zijuan shook her head with a smile, and then said, "My lord, you are the master of the house now, and you can no longer live in this guest room. Old madam The yard has been arranged for you and Miss Fifth long ago. The things you need and live in have already been prepared for you, and they are waiting for you and Miss Fifth to move in. My uncle must be tired from the journey. Take my uncle to the courtyard for a short rest. Later, when my uncle goes to the courtyard to see if there is anything missing or if something is not suitable, he will tell the maid. "

As she spoke, Zicuckoo turned around and said sternly to the girls behind her, "Go and help my uncle pack his things."

Soon, several girls came over to take care of the gifts brought by Zhu Ping'an and tidy up the things in the room.

Well

I was going to say hello to the old lady, so I bid farewell and moved outside...Zhu Pingan looked at the girls who were busy for a while, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly. Forget it, I will say hello to the old lady later. Bar.
