Helianze approached the screen and said, "Be prepared first. My aunt has always been generous. This time you took care of your eldest brother all night, and she will definitely thank you."
Mrs. Hou is indeed generous. These days, Chu Hanxiu has heard Qian Momo say several times what good things Chu Hanxiu got from her.
He put on his clothes and went out with Helianze. Jin Chuan'er, who had been waiting here for a long time, came over and knelt down to salute: "Greetings to Master Hanxiu. I am here to give you a gift of thanks on the order of my wife. Thank you very much, Master Hanxiu." The care given to the Marquis the day before yesterday."
She stood at the front, and behind her there were two little maids carrying trays with several boxes stacked on them.
Chu Hanxiu raised his hand to let her get up: "Thank you madam, Xia Lan, Ping An, come and take the things in."
Jin Chuan'er handed him the flat box he was holding alone: "The others are all for young master Hanxiu to play with, but this is the only one Mrs. Hou told the slave to deliver to young master Hanxiu in person. of."
Chu Hanxiu took it, opened it and took a look. He saw that it was covered with the official seal and the private seals of two parties. He was a little surprised and looked up at Jin Chuan'er.
Jin Chuan'er smiled and said: "There are two property deeds in total. The upper one is for the Jinlu Building on Ping'an Street in Kyoto, and the lower one is for the hot spring village on Yandang Mountain in the suburbs of Kyoto."
Helianze, Helianjing and others who came to look for Chu Hanxiu looked at me and I looked at you, and they all showed serious expressions.
Their aunt was the eldest daughter in the Duke's palace. She was deeply loved by the old Duke and his wife. She was originally going to enter the palace as a concubine, but the old Duke and his wife didn't want to never see her again. The daughter cried directly in front of the late emperor, but she didn't participate in the draft and married Marquis Jingguo.
As much as the old Duke and his wife loved her, her dowry directly crushed all the noble ladies and noble brothers in Kyoto back then, and no one can surpass it to this day.
Therefore, Mrs. Hou was very generous on weekdays and never deprived her of the concubines, sons, sons, and daughters in the backyard.
Therefore, she would only be more generous to Chu Hanxiu.
Even though Chu Hanxiu was prepared, she was still shocked by Mrs. Hou's arm.
Jinlu Tower.
The last time he, Helianze and the others went out, they had seen Jinlu Tower.
Unlike Jiao Yue Lou, which sells mid- to low-priced and high-priced jewelry, Jinlu Lou sells only the highest-priced jewelry, and the people who come and go are all dignitaries from Kyoto. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a golden chicken that only lays golden eggs.
There are also hot spring resorts on the outskirts of Kyoto. For ordinary resorts, even a moderately powerful family can get one, but with the word "hot spring" in mind, there are no cheap ones.
There are so many aristocratic families in Kyoto, but the places where they can dig out hot springs are limited, and only a few of them own them.
Now, he got one straight away.
Chu Hanxiu, who only had a net worth of more than 5,000 taels, felt what it meant to live in the trenches. He held the box and looked at Jin Chuan'er: "Sister Jin Chuan'er, isn't this too expensive?"
Jin Chuan'er said: "Madam said that compared with you, Master Hanxiu, it is not valuable at all. Please accept it, Master Hanxiu, otherwise Madam will have to come personally."
Chu Hanxiu felt that this was something that Mrs. Hou, who loved her son as much as her life and had a good temperament, could do it. "Then I will accept it. After Aze and I go to visit my eldest brother, I will personally go and pay my respects to Madam."
"Madam must be very happy that Young Master Hanxiu has gone. There are still some matters at Songhe Garden, so I will leave first."
Chu Hanxiu nodded, and as soon as Jin Chuan'er's figure disappeared from the gate of Cunxi Hall, Helianze came over and said, "Hey, the hot spring village in Yandang Mountain! Hanxiu Hanxiu, when will you take us to open our eyes!" "
"I heard that the village is Madam's aunt. The late emperor's concubine received a reward from the late Emperor and then gave it to Madam. I wonder how beautiful it is?" He Lianzheng was also very interested.
Chu Hanxiu said: "We will find out in a few days when we go together to see it. Let's go to Hengxiao Courtyard."
"Let's go!" Helianze liked to run around and jump around. When he heard that Chu Hanxiu would take them to the hot spring village in a few days, he was so happy that he showed a bright smile.
Compared with the tense atmosphere in Hengxiao Courtyard when he arrived in the middle of the night last time, today's Hengxiao Courtyard is very quiet. Qingran, who was standing outside the main house door, saw them coming, walked down the steps and clasped his fists in salute: "Master Hanxiu, Ze Master, Master Jing, Master Zheng, Master An."
He Lianjing, the oldest, asked: "Manager Qingran, is the eldest brother awake?"
"Are you awake? Are the young masters here to visit the Marquis?"
"Um."
"Several young masters are coming with the younger ones." Qingran stepped aside and waited for He Lianjing, the leader, to take two steps towards the main house before following them.
Soon, they saw Helian Yao. He was dressed in autumn clothes and had a short thin cloak draped over his shoulders. He was sitting on a chair by the window.
Because of the high fever the day before yesterday, his energy was weaker than before, and he was coughing thinly.
"Brother." Seeing him, Helianze, Helianjing and others lowered their voices unconsciously, fearing that it would disturb his rest and make him ill.
Chu Hanxiu didn't have as many scruples as they did. He felt that it was best to treat patients, especially those with serious conditions, as they were, so he greeted them the same as before: "Brother."
He Lian Yao paused with his hand on his thigh and looked at his younger brothers: "You guys didn't just come here yesterday."
Then he looked at the husband's concubine: "I took care of Hanxiu the day before yesterday. Have you rested?"
Helianze spoke quickly: "If we weren't afraid of affecting your rest, eldest brother, we would have wanted to come in the morning, at noon, and in the evening! Right, second brother, fourth brother, and seventh brother!"
that is you!
Helian Jing, He Lian Zheng and He Lianru said in their hearts that it was true that they wished their eldest brother well, but they were still a little frightened because of his majesty.
Chu Hanxiu nodded her fair and delicate chin: "I have been sleeping since I returned from Hengxiao Courtyard the day before yesterday. I didn't wake up until just now. I am in good spirits."
His fair skin was slightly flushed after a full rest, and his eyes were bright. It looked like he had completely recovered.
He Lianyao felt that some of the things that were pressing on his mind that day were relieved again. He said, "That's good. Dr. Xing went to the mountains and forests to collect some herbs these past two days. You don't have to go to him for the time being."
"Okay, thank you brother-in-law for informing me."
Since He Lian Yao was not good at talking, He Lian Ze and others did not want to disturb his rest, and were ready to leave after visiting him.
Suddenly, Qingran walked in: "Master Marquis, the third prince and General Luo are here to visit you."
Chu Hanxiu's heart moved. He knew that Luo Qinyu was the king of Luo who established himself as king in Xinzhou during the troubled times. He heard that he was brave and good at fighting and was good to the people. He was the one he planned to seek refuge with before the troubled times.
Moreover, He Lian Yao was injured so badly because he went to save him when he fell from his horse.
Unexpectedly, I was going to see him.
As for the third prince, Chu Hanxiu had no impression of him.
King Ding conspired to rebel, led troops to Beijing, broke into the palace and killed many princes, grandsons and concubines. In the end, he did not know how to do it. He took the imperial edict and abdicated the throne and became emperor. Then he lost to Qi and Donglai. During the pincer attack, they led the court officials to retreat to the south.
This third prince, Chu Hanxiu had never heard of, must have died at the hands of King Ding.
"Yeah." He Lian Yao nodded.
Because the third prince was among the people who came, Chu Hanxiu, Helianze and others had to bow to the third prince before leaving.
Several people stepped aside, and soon, the servants of Hengxiao Courtyard led two men over.
One was wearing a purple robe with wide sleeves and a golden crown on his head.
One was wearing a narrow-sleeved robe favored by military generals, and the solid muscles on his shoulders and back could be faintly seen.
Chu Hanxiu didn't squint his eyes, and thought to himself, "It turns out that this is King Luo. He looks really upright, and he seems to be a kind and righteous person."
As for the third prince, maybe it was because he saw so many good-looking people in the Hou Mansion that he felt his appearance was a bit ordinary, and his expression had a condescending air.
As the two people walked in, Chu Hanxiu and Helianze were about to salute them. The third prince suddenly showed a smile on his face, and said to Chu Hanxiu very kindly: "My husband is here to visit Marquis Wu'an." ?”
Chu Hanxiu: "......"
Helianze, Helianjing and his brothers: “???”
Qingran and the servants of Hengxiao Yuan: "!!!"
He Lianyao moved his fingers and said, "Third Prince, this is not the husband of the lower official, but the husband's younger brother, Chu Hanxiu."
Chu Hanxiu nodded, turned his palms upward and folded them together: "The common people pay homage to Your Highness. May Your Highness be well."
The third prince Zhou Yuqi was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes deepened: "It turns out that he is the younger brother of Marquis Wu'an. Is it true that the Chu family specializes in beauties?"
He Lian Yao frowned slightly, and the third prince suddenly realized that his words were inappropriate. He meant to make Chu Hanyun laugh. In any case, Chu Hanyun was He Lian Yao's direct husband, so he could not make fun of him at will. of.
At least...not where someone could see it.
Who knew that the prestigious Marquis Wu'an, He Lian Yao's husband, was already in his pocket.
Thinking of this, the third prince felt his back straighten up a little. He smiled and said to Chu Hanxiu, "Get up."
Chu Hanxiu: "Yes."
Helianze, Helianjing and his brothers also bowed to the third prince, and then withdrew with Chu Hanxiu, not to disturb their conversation.
Zhou Yuqi's attention was still on Chu Hanxiu. Seeing the figure in the corner of his eye disappear, he couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart.
I thought that Chu Hanyun was already beautiful enough, but I didn't expect that this Chu Hanxiu was even better. If only at the same time...
"Although Hanxiu and my husband-in-law look alike, you can tell them apart after seeing each other twice. To be able to admit your mistake is in front of my eldest brother..." Helianze looked at Chu Hanxiu and said, "It's a bit embarrassing. "
When the third prince said "husband", the expressions of everyone in the room changed.
One elder brother, one younger brother, the younger brother was mistaken for the elder brother, and the brother-in-law was still beside him. It was embarrassing just thinking about it.
But Chu Hanxiu had to be excluded from these embarrassing people. He just thought that He Lianyao wouldn't think about him and Chu Hanyun, right?
He said to Helian Ze, He Lian Jing and others: "I am going to Songhe Garden to pay my respects to Mrs. Hou, so I won't go with you. Doctor Xing is not here these days, so I don't need to go to his place. Let's go to Hot Spring Village tomorrow." .”
He Lian Yao is not well yet and has no plans to have sex in the next few days. Chu Hanxiu plans to buy a few mules and some food when going to the hot spring village to prepare for the troubled times in the future.
Helianze nodded: "Okay, let's see you tomorrow. I've never been to Zhuangzi with a hot spring. Let's see what we need to bring."
Chu Hanxiu waved his hand and walked towards Songhe Garden with Xia Lan and Ping An.
