Zhou Mao suddenly felt that he knew too little about Classmate Bao. He only knew his surname, not even his first name.
Seeing that he usually wears simple clothes, but always looks full of confidence, I don't know where he gets his confidence.
Moreover, even if he didn't want to admit it, he could tell that Classmate Bao was a bit noble.
He deliberately concealed this, but sometimes it could still be seen in his movements.
Of course, he did not discuss it. These ordinary people would only mock him for being suspicious. They did not understand that if there was no doubt, there would be no verification, and if there was no verification, there would be no way to verify the truth.
Ordinary people.
He believed that Classmate Bao's family was an official. This could be seen from the carriage. As for the rank of this official, it was estimated that it would not exceed the seventh rank.
Because the children of officials who are above the seventh rank will be more arrogant.
This is also known from his life accumulation. He has met some officials' children, and their nostrils are basically pointed upward.
He had already made a plan in his mind. He would soon inquire about Mr. Bao's family and make friends with him.
The carriage arrived at Prince Su's Mansion, but instead of entering through the main entrance, it went around to the side entrance.
Prince Su's Mansion is a mansion that has been in disrepair for a long time. The main entrance is already stained, and the side entrance is even more dilapidated.
On weekdays, the side door is rarely closed, because everyone in the capital knows that nothing can be stolen here, and you may have to put down a few coins when you come.
Of course, we also know that Prince Su's Mansion is impregnable. There are many old men with high martial arts skills living here. It is not a legend here that one can defeat a hundred.
The alley at the side entrance can be used for carriages. This is all because the wall of the house next to it was automatically reduced by ten feet after it fell down. Because we wanted to keep a certain distance from them, we had such a spacious alley.
The scholars got off the carriage, and an old servant in black clothes led them forward. The old servant walked very fast, with very light steps, and several young scholars could hardly keep up.
Hurrying and hurrying, we still managed to keep a long distance.
"Walk faster, but don't make too much noise. People in the house are sleeping."
The old man said very irritably.
Everyone looked at each other, what time is it?
Still sleeping?
However, I have to say that this house is really big enough, but it has many rooms built in a mess, and it is not very beautiful.
As for the yard, you can't see any exotic flowers and plants, but you can see chickens and sheep walking around. In such a big house, instead of decorating it to look nice, chickens, ducks, cows and sheep are roaming around, and there is excrement everywhere.
Isn't it insulting to be polite?
After going around seven times, we finally arrived at the main hall.
Classmate Bao greeted me at the door of the main hall. He was dressed in brocade and had a smile on his face. He was as gentle as jade, clean and noble.
"coming?
Come in quickly!"
Baozi stepped forward and bowed his hands.
After everyone returned the gift, Liu Yipeng said: "Classmate Bao, your family is really big."
Zhou Mao wants to overturn his previous guess. Such a big house is probably not an official residence, unless it is the home of a prince and marquis, but a prince and marquis' home will not raise chickens, ducks, cattle, and sheep in the yard.
After returning the gift, I entered the main room and saw two elders sitting inside. One of them was the one I met at the forum that day. He was dressed more formally today, and his silk suit looked very expensive.
As for the other old man, he has gray hair, a thin face, and his eyes are full of sharpness. This is nothing, that's him... He is squatting on the chair, with his hands in his sleeves, turning his face to look at them, and his sharpness is just like that.
Even worse.
"Great-grandfather, teacher, these are some of my friends."
Baozi stepped forward and introduced them one by one. This is my great-grandfather, this is my teacher and so on.
After Zhou Mao and others came forward to greet him, he immediately looked towards the Supreme Emperor and bowed, "I wonder if the old man has ever served in the court?"
Although later I felt that it was not like he had been an official, but during the forum that day, I said that the old man was an official who had become an official. Is it possible that the old man was also an official?
Just the squatting position is really a bit... degrading to politeness.
The Supreme Emperor looked at him, "Serving in the imperial court?"
