Andu.
The capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the capital of the world, sits on the dragon's side and looks down upon the eighteen states of the world.
The city has a population of more than five million, with nine cities and thirty-seven squares.
If we talk about the most prosperous place, it is naturally the East Market, where shops are adjacent to each other and pavilions are adjacent to each other, making it extremely prosperous.
On both sides of the straight street, there are not only pen shops, wine shops, iron shops, butcher shops, bran shops, silk shops, medicine shops, musical instrument shops, engraving printing shops, gold banks, etc., there are also horse rental shops and troupes. , pipa players, goods, wealth and silk, etc. are too numerous to mention.
Among them, the martial arts style is also strong, and people with deep breaths, swords in hand, and walking like the wind can be seen everywhere on the streets.
To the north of Dongshi City is Zhuquefang, where dignitaries and princes live. Even a wealthy businessman from out of town who has struggled for most of his life without eating or drinking cannot afford to buy a small house here.
If there is anything more valuable than Zhuquefang, it can only be Qianfang to the east of Zhuquefang.
This area covers an area of 860 acres, but there is only one family.
The Jiang family is said to have produced "one venerable master, three great masters, five princes, nine princes-in-law, seven prime ministers, fifty-eight Jinshi, and fifteen Taiping Palace students".
There were not many cars and horses on Qianfang Street. At this time, a four-person sedan slowly passed by, with two women sitting in the sedan.
Li Xiyue in blue official robe and Murong Yunxi in Confucian robe.
"Senior Sister Li was not included in the Shence Army after all!"
Murong Yunxi lay on the car window with the curtains open, looking at the majestic pavilion building outside with a lack of interest.
Li Xiyue patted her little head and said with a smile: "Isn't it more comfortable to stay in the Zhenwu Division for a while and manage the sects, sects, and warriors in the world than to be a captain in the army? I am now Si Zhi, and I am on the same level as Li Fuzi. Jie, do you dare to believe it?"
Murong Yunxi curled her lips and said: "The Zhenwu Division has many experts, and they also pay attention to seniority. Si Zhi is the youngest official, and Mr. Li is too ugly to pass the test!"
Li Xiyue smiled happily: "You dare to say Mrs. Li, are you not afraid that he will come back and put on your little shoes?"
Murong Yunxi said disdainfully: "Maybe he won't be able to come back. He was almost killed by such a good guy like Big Pig Hoof. I just don't like him... Huh?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the door of two tall dragon-headed sphinxes guarded by twelve dignified and formidable guards who appeared in front of him: "Which family is this?"
Li Xiyue's face turned slightly pale, and she hurriedly pulled her out of the sedan chair. When she saw the civil servants in front of her getting off the sedan chair, and the military attachés dismounting their horses, even the most lazy person became a little calmer.
"Why?" Murong Yunxi blinked in confusion.
Li Xiyue looked at her nose and heart: "The Jiang family, how can there be so many reasons? My immediate boss is the slave of this family."
Murong Yunxi quickly followed suit, watching her nose and heart. The Murong family in Fufeng Mansion would definitely not be able to offend this family.
"Da da da……"
"Step aside!"
At this time, a fast horse galloped from a distance, and the crowd got out of the way. The rider hurriedly dismounted and hurried to the front door of Jiang's house.
The twelve guards were already looking at them coldly, their intimidating aura pressing down on the visitor.
I saw the rider handing over a letter with both hands: "Nan Li's family letter, please be sure to submit it to the old lady!"
"Thank you!"
The guard commander's face was solemn when he heard this. He took the letter with both hands and hurriedly entered the gate, passed through the tall and solemn pavilions, along the corridors and moon gates covered with white jade, and arrived at the inner house. Along the way, there were hundreds of slaves and dozens of slaves. The ten stewards all had the same look on their faces, their steps were unhurried and unhurried, and even the boy looked like a family member.
When they arrived at the gate of the inner house, the guard commander bowed and handed over the letter: "Nan Li forwarded to the old lady!"
Among the dozens of maids standing upright, a steward hurriedly took the letter and went straight to the house.
Stepping on the pavilion path with white jade steps, bypassing the pavilions and pavilions full of exotic flowers and rare treasures, we finally arrived at a majestic courtyard. Inside, more than fifty handsome maids stood solemnly. In the lobby opposite, there were more than ten people wearing silk clothes sitting there. The noble ladies Luo and Jinchai both had solemn expressions on their faces.
Sitting in the main hall was an old lady with gray hair, wearing a long purple brocade robe, with a straight back and a face like a beautiful woman in her thirties, but with an unparalleled aura. When she glanced around, there was no one there. Don't dare to speak out again.
What he said at this time was also chilling: "Isn't that old man Zuo Cheng tired of living? Yu Gui has bullied several small officials, so what's the problem? No matter how bad he is, he is also the second grandson of the Jiang family, and he is here to me. Show them your handprints, and see which one dares to fart?
The old woman was riding alone with the former prince to repel Beicang's 30,000 cavalry. When Marshal Basi of Beicang was drinking water from the stream, Zuo Cheng, an old man, was still studying at home and couldn't even get a wife! "
What he said was rough, but no one dared to refute it.
A group of ladies lowered their heads slightly, suppressing smiles on their faces.
A steward had already taken the fingerprints and left in a hurry.
"Has anything interesting happened recently?" The old lady seemed to have easily revealed the huge thing that had just happened.
A noble lady smiled and said: "There is an interesting story in the countryside. My servant is serving in the Zhenwu Division. He came to say goodbye in a hurry in the morning, saying that he was going to the border to send orders to the young masters of the five major sects to encircle and suppress a bandit!"
"It's a small matter at the frontier, I'm afraid it will be passed down by rumors, it will be very boring!" The old lady was not interested.
At this moment, the female steward waited for everyone to finish chatting, then bowed first, then entered the room, and handed the letter with both hands: "Nan Li presents a letter from home!"
"Letter home?"
The old lady took it and opened it, glanced at it casually, then looked at the scroll, her expression changed greatly, and she stood up abruptly.
The powerful momentum can instantly make people breathless.
Hundreds of maids and servants all around immediately knelt on the ground.
The ladies present rarely saw the old lady looking like this, so they couldn't help but stand up and their expressions changed slightly: "What's the matter?"
"Where did you find it?" The old lady looked at the ladies coldly.
"Check" in Jiang Mansion only means one thing, and it is a big deal to the Jiang family.
The faces of all the ladies also changed drastically, and one lady said: "There is also the last Princess Zheng's Courtyard!"
"Go and call Zheng Guo! Immediately!"
The old lady couldn't help but pace back and forth, her face changing again and again.
The maidservant left in a hurry, and a little while later, a noble lady with a phoenix-embroidered robe and a phoenix hairpin and jade ornaments, surrounded by dozens of maids, came hurriedly and bowed and saluted: "My daughter-in-law has met the old lady!"
"Let me ask you, fourteen years ago, was there a servant named Xin in your courtyard?" The old lady's expression was as cold as ever.
Princess Zheng was lost in thought, as if it had been too long to remember, and she said after a while: "It seems... there was a servant named Xin Si who raised horses. My daughter-in-law remembered that he had an affair with Yunxiang, a maid who swept the floor. Yunxiang Xiang was given poisoned wine, thinking that Xinsi had worked hard for many years raising horses, but his daughter-in-law sent someone to beat him half to death and throw him out of the house!"
"Yes, that's right, this dimple is exactly the same as his father's, my grandson! He has suffered so much in the past ten years!"
The old lady could not help but tremble and burst into tears.
When had everyone seen the old lady from the hairpin family showing such emotions? They were not only frightened and uneasy: "Old lady? Old lady?"
The old lady suppressed her sorrow and said angrily: "Is there a master in the house?"
Princess Zheng quickly saluted: "Chanyi is here!"
The old lady waved her hands heavily and ordered with murderous intent: "Ling Chan will lead five hundred iron floating guards to take my grandson Yuqing home. Now my name is... Let the Secretary's cavalry have full authority to assist,
Remember, kill everyone who bullied him. Write a letter to Your Majesty to urge the crown prince of Western Qin County! My grandson has been found! "
