There was a rush of footsteps in the Chang Mansion.
The husband who was in his early twenties is now in his thirties. After the death of the old Taiwei, he became the head of the Chang family, but at this time, his face was full of panic and confusion——
Just now, Butler Liu came to find him. His expression seemed to be very anxious. However, Butler Liu was mute and he was deaf. When he was in a hurry, the two of them could not slow down and write to communicate. I don’t know what happened to make the steward so anxious.
I grabbed his hand and walked out, forcefully pulling him off the bed, and ran out without even putting on his shoes.
After all, it was once the Taiwei's mansion, and the mansion was very big.
Chang Yin was pulled by the housekeeper and stumbled all the way across the yard. He almost fell down several times. He wanted to get angry and accuse the housekeeper, but there was no paper and pen in front of him, and he couldn't speak. But when he saw the anxious face of Housekeeper Liu, he was sweating profusely.
His expression suppressed his suspicion and anger.
Until I came to the door and looked outside.
There were two servants inside the door, and a young Taoist priest outside the door, wearing white and clean Taoist robes, with a calico cat at his feet, looking at them.
Chang Yin was stunned and almost fell to the ground.
Butler Liu was also stunned on the spot.
The two of them couldn't help but look down at the calico cat.
This calico cat is extremely beautiful.
The proportions of her body are perfect, her hair is fluffy and shiny, and the best quality satin is no more than that. The patterns and colors are also distributed properly, which does not look messy, but looks very delicate. What is even more amazing is her smart eyes.
It seems to be able to convey emotions, speak, and be very spiritual.
Anyone who looks at it will probably fall in love with it.
Yes, this is the Taoist.
Yes, it's this cat.
Everything that happened back then was all caused by cats.
The two of them raised their gazes and looked at the man again.
His expression suddenly became complicated.
There is excitement and excitement in my heart, wanting to get the result that I have been waiting for for a long time, but also anxiety, not knowing whether I can get my wish, and also nervousness and fear.
Over the past few years, I have been looking forward to this day every day.
When this day comes, I don’t know what to do.
Just when the master and the servant looked at each other and were about to kneel down and kowtow to the immortal first, they saw the Taoist outside the door raised his hand first, and instead saluted them and said: "I heard that you have not only been in pain over the years, but
He has corrected his past mistakes, is willing to do good, and has helped many people. Since he is a good person, please accept my courtesy."
The voice was not loud and the tone was gentle, but it was enough to float in from the door of the mansion.
Before Butler Liu felt anything, the man beside him suddenly froze, his eyes widened, and his whole body began to tremble.
This sound reached his ears.
Not only that, the surrounding noises are also slowly recovering.
The slight sound of wind in the courtyard, the sounds of servants moving around, and the sound of my own nervous breathing all gradually returned.
There was even a dull pain in my ears.
"ah……"
He often opens his mouth and makes a hoarse sound.
"Your voice and hearing have just recovered and you have to adapt. I hope you two will continue to abide by the way of doing good, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, stick to your good intentions, and never make the same mistakes again."
After the Taoist said that he had no intention of coming in, he bowed slightly, turned around and left.
Two people shouted excitedly behind them.
There were also doubts from the servants who didn't know why.
Mao'er turned around and glanced at them a few more times, then took small steps and hurriedly caught up with the Taoist.
She is very familiar with this road.
Song You leaned on his bamboo stick and said as he walked: "This has ended a relationship."
"Yuanyuan!"
"Where are you going this afternoon?"
"Sanhua Empress will follow you."
"Miss Sanhua has grown up a lot, and she can try to make her own decisions."
"Miss Sanhua has made her own decision." The Sanhua cat turned to look at him. When she saw someone in front of her, she suddenly shut up. She only walked close to his feet and took small steps forward. When she passed by the person, she turned back again.
She carefully glanced at the distance between herself and him, thinking that he couldn't hear her, so she continued to raise her head and said to the Taoist, "This is the decision made by Empress Sanhua."
"That's it..."
Song You couldn't help but smile.
"It seems that this place is not far from Wu'an Hou's Mansion. If you have nothing to do, you should go and have a look."
"OK!"
So they went to have lunch again, asked about the location of Wu'anhou Mansion, and slowly looked for it after the meal.
Wu'anhou Mansion is close to the imperial palace and is in a relatively good location. It is also one of the best residences in Changjing except for a few gardens.
The reason why it is not in the best location, not for the gardens, is because the Great Yan Dynasty was established for a long time, and Changjing only has such a big area, and there are only a few gardens. Many locations have been fixed, and many resources have been transferred over the past two hundred years.
They have already been allocated. Even if General Chen has made extraordinary achievements and is powerful throughout the ages, no matter how happy the emperor is and no matter how much he wants to reward him, those best houses and gardens have already been awarded to others, even if they have already
Even if it is in decline and decay, no one can let it go.
This is also one of Dayan's current contradictions.
But this mansion is not difficult to find.
Song You quickly walked to the front of Wu'anhou's mansion.
Today, the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion is like a city, with dignitaries and dignitaries coming and going. Cars and horses are constantly coming and going, and gold, jade, silk and silk are sent in one by one.
Song You couldn't help but stop beside him and didn't come closer.
General Chen has gone through three processes since he achieved his unparalleled achievements.
First, he performed extraordinary feats, but was jealous of the emperor. Even though his reputation was far and wide, few people in the court dared to visit him, for fear of being implicated. He was then named Marquis of Wu'an by the emperor, and everyone in the court and the military knew that he was related to the emperor.
After reaching an agreement, they all came to visit him. Until now, he went south to serve the king, and he had achieved extraordinary feats. However, the civil and military officials in the court knew that the prince who was about to ascend the throne was even more wary of him, but they still came to visit him one after another with gift orders. I don’t know why.
Created.
Compared with these dignitaries who came on donkeys and carriages and were surrounded by servants, the Taoist priest and the cat standing next to him seemed very inconspicuous.
The cat couldn't help but look up at the Taoist.
"Meow?"
"That's a good question."
Song You was also thinking about whether to go in.
When I came here, I wanted to visit my old friend. After all, I heard that he was seriously injured, even to his vitals, and that he would die soon. But when he got here, he hesitated.
Regardless of whether General Chen's injury was accidental or deliberate, the injury must be real, otherwise it would not be hidden from others. Since the outside world said that he was seriously injured, tortured, and that he was not going to die soon, it must be true.
After all, I can’t bear to see a hero languish.
At the same time, since he had already prepared, no matter what General Chen planned to do in the future, Song You was not worried that he would really die, so there was no need to "see him for the last time."
If he went there, he would be in trouble.
"Please give way..."
Someone called Song You to make way for them.
Song You turned around and immediately retreated to the roadside.
I went to visit the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion again.
But there are still many people queuing up front.
At this moment, a soldier walked out of the gate, looked left and right casually, glanced at Song You, and immediately turned back to stare at him.
"Um?"
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then hurried over.
"Song...Mr. Song?"
Song You also recognized him. He was a soldier who had followed General Chen for many years. He came from the Northern Changqiang Sect and was highly skilled in martial arts.
That's just right.
Even if you don't go in, you should still explain a few words.
"That's polite."
"Mr. Song is here to visit my general?"
"I was just wandering around and ended up here."
"Sir, would you like to come in and sit down?"
"I won't go in." Song You shook his head with a smile and said to the soldiers, "I would like to ask you to bring a few words to General Chen for me, and don't tell anyone else."
"Sir, please speak."
"There is an underworld under the yang world, and death is not the end. As long as we are destined, we will see each other again." Song You paused, "Yizhou Lingquan County, Yinyang Mountain Fulong Temple, I came down the mountain in the first year of Xia Mingde, twenty years ago
I will definitely return to the mountain in the future. Regardless of whether the general can survive this disaster, if he has time in the future, he can come to see his old friend."
"..."
The soldier was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly murmured it down and wrote it down. For fear of forgetting, he just said goodbye to him and ran back quickly.
Song You took Sanhua Empress and turned around to leave.
Many people behind him looked at his back, their expressions changing from doubtful to thoughtful. Some seemed to have remembered some legends, and their eyes gradually widened. Unfortunately, by the time they thought about it, the Taoist had already gone far.
There was some dirt in the alley, but while it was quiet and no one was around, the Taoist still waved his bamboo stick.
"brush……"
The dirty things were immediately waved to the curb.
The cat turned and stared at him.
"Meow?"
"It's just a very simple carrying method, but it's very useful. With Sanhua Empress's current practice, it's easy to learn." Song You turned to look at her, "Want to learn?"
"Meow!"
"I'll teach you when I get back." Song You said, hearing some wind in the air, looking up and seeing the swallow flying to the roof of the building in front, he paused, "Let's see who learns it first, you or Yan An."
"Meow..."
The calico cat shook his head, as if he didn't care, and walked forward, but he didn't go far before he stopped again and looked at the Taoist in confusion: "Did you smell a fragrance?"
"What scent?"
"..."
The calico cat lowered its head, then raised its head, sniffed carefully up and down, and then said: "The smell of braised pork!"
"Braised pork?"
"That's right!"
"There's nothing going on, so let's go take a look."
"Follow Empress Sanhua!"
One person and one cat walked along following the scent.
Soon the Taoist also smelled the familiar aroma. The aroma of meat was accompanied by the compound smell of spices, which was very attractive.
I walked over and saw that it was a stall selling braised chicken.
The stall also made some innovations. They chose half-sized chickens, put them in bamboo baskets, and stewed them in a large clay pot. The baskets were just big enough to hold the chickens, but they were bent by the fire.
The handle just hangs on the edge of the pot. If someone buys it, wrapping it in oil paper is too extravagant, lotus leaves are not always available, and banana leaves are too fragile, so I simply give it to the customer in a bamboo basket and take it back.
It’s euphemistically called Bamboo Basket Chicken.
The selling price is very expensive, much higher than roast chicken.
