Chapter 1407: Being robbed of luck by the reborn step-sister 167: Rumors arose
Seeing the carriage stop, Xiao Zhengshu hurriedly walked to the old lady's carriage. Just as he was about to apply to open the curtain for his mother and help her get out of the car, he saw that his mother had already opened the curtain before him, and then jumped out of the car.
Xiao Zhengshu couldn't help but be shocked: What's wrong with mother?
Not only did she come back in a high profile, but she also made such a dangerous move. Even though her mother was once a female general, didn’t she know what her body was like now?
Even when she went to her hometown to offer sacrifices this time, he was worried about whether she could bear it and refused to allow her to go.
Although Xiao Zhengshu inherited the title of Duke of Zhenguo, he took up a medium-sized civil servant. Although it was a sinecure, it would take at least two months to go to Sanjiang. He could not go without his official position, and he could not accompany his mother.
, so I was very worried about my mother.
But in the end, my mother forced her to go on the grounds that it might be the last time she went to Sanjiang to offer sacrifices, and if she didn't go she would have lifelong regrets.
Now that he is relieved to see his mother return safely, he is also worried about her health.
Seeing my mother jump out of the carriage, my heart naturally lifted again.
But the next moment, when he saw the full picture of his mother standing in front of him, he was stunned, and then he was ecstatic: "Mom, are you feeling well?"
"Okay, okay, thanks to Yun'er." Mrs. Xiao pulled Ruyue over and said, "This is your sister's daughter, your niece Xiao Yun."
"Sister?" Xiao Zhengshu was shocked: "Sister is still alive?"
Mrs. Xiao shook her head. She looked at the people watching on the street and raised her head: "Let's go back home first."
The family entered the Zhenguo Palace, and even the ten carriages were driven to the side entrance at the back.
The crowd of onlookers immediately started talking:
"Isn't it said that the Duke's Mansion in this town is in decline? Why did I go back to my hometown and bring back so many carriages?"
"You didn't notice, there were quite a few guards just now."
"Didn't you say that the Zhenguo Government House is so poor that it can't even afford a few servants? There seemed to be quite a few servants just now."
"Have you not noticed? The old lady in the Duke's Mansion here seems to be wearing cloud brocade, which costs hundreds of taels of silver per piece. How can she look poor?"
"The big pearl in the middle of the hat she wears doesn't cost several thousand taels of silver, right?"
"Whose old lady can't afford those clothes and jewelry in Kyoto?"
"What do you know? The property of the Zhenguogongfu was dissipated fifteen years ago to support the families of the dead soldiers. In the past twenty years, the Guogongfu has been living in poverty on its salary. Don't say that.
Pearls worth thousands of taels of silver, even dozens of taels of silver, they can't afford to use."
"What are the pearls? Their horses are the real treasures. Each of the horses pulling the cart is very handsome. I'm sure they must be thousand-mile horses?"
"A thousand-mile horse is used to pull a cart? Are you mistaken?"
"If I'm wrong, I'll dig out these two eyeballs and make them a bubble for you to step on."
"cut!"
"You read that right, that horse is really good and tall. I have never seen such a tall horse."
"It is rare to see such a tall horse. Moreover, there are thirty-six horses for the guards and the chariots."
"Is that a mistake? It's obviously thirty-four horses."
"One of them is a relatively ordinary horse, so it can only be counted as thirty-five."
The news that the old lady of the Duke's Mansion returned from Sanjiang with a high profile, bringing ten large carriages and thirty-six fine horses, spread quickly.
