Li Mansion.

Xiaohuan was walking in the corridor with a cup of tea, but at this moment, he saw a familiar figure walking over.

"Uncle Liang, what are you doing?"

Lao Liang was old, well-informed, and very prestigious among the servants. Even though Xiaohuan was the girl's personal maid, he still respected him.

However, the other party, who was usually straight-forward, changed his appearance today. He seemed to be hesitant to speak. Moreover, he was holding a white jade box in his hand. I don't know what it was.

"Is such that……"

Lao Liang didn't hesitate any longer and immediately began to talk about Chu Feng, and at the same time handed over the jade box in his hand.

Xiaohuan subconsciously took it, but was stunned for a long time. After a long time, he asked in disbelief: "You mean, the house next to it was bought by that Mr. Chu?"

"That's right. This box is also a return gift he gave to the girl, in order to repay her for saving her life." Lao Liang had a good sense of Chu Feng, so he took the initiative to explain to the other party.

Xiaohuan looked at the jade box in his hand. Not to mention what good items were inside, the box alone was worth a lot of money. He had been with his girl for many years and was knowledgeable. At first glance, it was high-quality white jade.

She couldn't help but think that the young man named Chu was originally a poor scholar, but now he turned into a rich man. It was too mysterious. Moreover, if the other party gave such an expensive gift, was it appropriate for her own girl to accept it?

"I'll go tell the girl first and let her make the decision."

After bidding farewell to Lao Liang, Xiaohuan walked toward the back house full of thoughts, and soon arrived at the boudoir.

She is a personal maid, and we get along with her day and night. Naturally, she enters the room without knocking. When he sees it, he sees his own girl standing behind the desk, writing something.

"Girl, this is the new chrysanthemum tea that I just made."

"Put it there."

The woman replied casually, but the pen in her hand did not stop.

Xiaohuan put the tea bowl down gently so as not to disturb the other party by making any noise. As a maid who grew up close to her, she knew her girl's temperament very well. At this moment, she was probably immersed in her own world again.

As for the jade box on the wooden plate, he did not report it immediately. Instead, he stood aside and waited quietly.

After a long time, the woman finally finished writing, put down the pen in her hand, then picked up the white porcelain bowl and took a sip.

"It's the Double Ninth Festival again, and Jiuhua is blooming all over the city. I wonder where the autumn chrysanthemums are blooming best this year?"

"Girl." Xiaohuan finally spoke and handed over the jade box in her hand.

"Master Chu asked Uncle Liang to send this."

"Huh?" The woman came back to her senses, looked at the fine white jade box in front of her, and couldn't help but be startled.

"Mr. Chu, what you are saying is..."

"It's the one who was rescued a few days ago. Now he lives in the house next door and has become the owner there." Xiaohuan explained in time, but until now, he was still a little unbelievable.

"It turned out to be him."

The woman blinked her bright eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and said nothing for a while. Her slender fingers gently stroked the surface of the jade box for a while, but she opened it instantly.

"Hey, this... is so beautiful!" The woman's eyes lit up, but Xiao Huan beside her could no longer control herself and exclaimed in surprise.

The box was padded with red cloth, and a pair of golden steps were placed on it. They were shaped like golden phoenixes and were extremely gorgeous. There were golden tassels falling from the top, and a pair of golden and blue butterflies were attached to them. They were small, delicate, and attractive.

Enthusiastic.

I picked it up gently with my slender hands, and felt a touch of coolness pass into my fingertips. The butterfly's wings flapped slightly with the slight movement, lifelike.

"Girl, why don't you return the things? If the master knows about this, he will definitely blame you."

It was so beautiful that any woman would be moved by it. Even Xiao Huan felt it was inappropriate for such a precious jewelry and quickly spoke to remind her.

"It is indeed beautiful." The woman smiled sweetly, a hint of love flashed in her crystal eyes, and said,

"It was just a coincidence that I saved the other party in the past. I never expected to get anything in return. If I accept this thing, wouldn't I be looking down upon the other party?"

Having said this, he didn't look at the other one, but put the Bu Yao in his hand back to its original position.

"You just said that Mr. Chu has become our neighbor?"

"Yes, we live next door." Xiaohuan nodded.

"That house was built by a wealthy businessman. It was extremely luxurious and expensive. He was just a poor man. Where did he get the money to buy it?" There was a deep look in the woman's eyes.

A strong sense of curiosity.

"Are there any wealthy relatives in Bianjing City?" Xiaohuan guessed.

"There's no way of knowing." The woman closed the box in her hand and said immediately,

"Go there in person and respectfully return this thing to Mr. Chu. Also, tell me a message: the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Although I am a woman, I am not weak in the manners of a man."

Sure enough, my girl is so talented and has always been proud of her temperament. It is not surprising at all to make such a decision.

"Don't worry, girl, I will definitely take care of this matter."

…

In front of the Chu Mansion, Xiao Huan walked slowly alone. Looking at the brand new door and plaque, he couldn't help but sigh, this is more grand than his own mansion!

There was a knock, and soon there was the sound of the door opening. It was a young man wearing servant's clothes, with a bit of childishness in his eyebrows.

"I wonder who the girl is?"

"I am the maid from the Li Mansion next door. I came here to pay homage to Mr. Chu on the order of my master."

"Ah, that's unfortunate. My master has something to do and is not in the house."

"out!"

Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment. Such an answer was beyond her expectation. She tightened the jade box in her sleeve, but she couldn't decide what to do.

Naturally, such a valuable thing must be handed over to the other party in person. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bad thing if something unexpected happened? Besides, she also has to send a message on behalf of her own girl?

"Have Mr. Chu ever mentioned when he would be back?"

"To be honest, all the servants in the mansion have just arrived and are not familiar with the master. We don't know where they are going or when they will return."

"That's it." Xiaohuan frowned and said again,

"Well, I'll come back tomorrow. If your master comes back in the evening, could you please send a message that Xiaohuan from the Li Mansion next door has come to look for you."

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely not forget it." The young man promised, patting his chest.

"Go, who is your sister?"

Xiaohuan rolled his eyes at the other person, then turned around and left angrily, leaving the young man standing there alone, stroking the back of his head in a daze.

I just heard that they were neighbors and would inevitably meet and interact with each other in the future. I had an idea to compliment him, but I didn't expect that it would make the other party angry?

Grandpa Zheng is right, women are really scary.

…

"Sir, Ma Xing Street has arrived."

On the bustling street, a horse-drawn carriage came slowly and was stopping at a certain street intersection.

The person who reminded him was a servant of the Chu Mansion. His name was Tieshan. He had practiced Hengfu since he was a child and was very strong. Chu Feng seemed to have extraordinary aptitude, so he specially trained him. In just a few days, he became

The opponent's strength has grown by leaps and bounds.

As the name suggests, the Tieshan people are tall and tall, like a moving iron tower, which is very eye-catching. However, despite their rough appearance, they are not stupid at all, but are very smart.

Taken with him.

Chu Feng lifted the curtains and took a look outside. He suddenly felt that the prosperity here was a hundred times more prosperous than the outer city. There were many shops on both sides of the street, including medical clinics, drug stores, teahouses, and restaurants.

Of course, the most famous ones are not these, but the various hook-and-rail tile houses, which are the places that attract the most attention nowadays.

Chu Feng got off the carriage straight away and looked at the sky. Even though it was afternoon, the light was still very strong. However, the traffic on the street was still busy and did not reduce at all.

"Hey, Brother Chu, is it really you?"

Suddenly, an exclamation suddenly sounded, which was a little strange, but also a little familiar. When he turned around to look, he saw a young man in Confucian robes.

He has a plain appearance, a short and fat figure, and holds a folding fan in his hand. He looks unremarkable, but he is dressed very luxuriously, and he looks like he is a rich man.

"It turns out to be brother Wei Jin. It's been a while since we last saw each other."

Chu Feng's brain was spinning rapidly, and he quickly found the memory about the other party. This person was also from Hangzhou, named Liu Shen. He was born in a merchant's family, and he was also preparing to participate in the Spring Examination next year.

Speaking of which, the two were both from the same hometown and classmates. In ancient times, such a relationship was not simple. No wonder the other party looked happy after seeing him.

"Yes, after many days apart, Brother Chu's demeanor is even better than before, but it makes Liu a little afraid to recognize him." Liu Shen looked at him carefully for a while with a trace of surprise in his eyes, and then continued,

"It's getting late, and it's hard for you and me to meet each other. It's time to get together."

"Mr. Chu also has this intention. Is there anything you would recommend?"

"Come with me and take you to a good place."

There was an inexplicable smile on Liu Shen's face, vaguely mixed with a trace of imperceptible yearning.

Chu Feng is not a simple person, and he still doesn't understand what the other party is talking about. Something has come up today, but he is not in a hurry. He still needs to live in the Song Dynasty for a long time, and some communication is always necessary.
