I, Jiajing, successfully cultivated immortality

Chapter 557 Kong Shangxian Arrives

Ever since Kong Shangxian asked his wife Yan to write a letter to Yan Shifan earlier, he embarked on the road to the capital without stopping.

After all, the fate of the remaining families of the "Four Saints and Three Sages" is still vivid in our minds, and there is no room for Kong Shangxian not to take it seriously!

After several days of traveling day and night, Kong Shangxian finally arrived in the capital. At this moment, he was looking at the scenery on the street through the sedan curtain.

"Oh, I hope Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Xiaoge can say something nice for me in front of His Majesty!"

Kong Shangxian prayed in his heart, and immediately lowered the sedan curtain. Outside the sedan curtain, there was a road paved with neat stone slabs, and bustling crowds. From time to time, there were vendors selling along the street, and children chased the vendors selling candied haws. Stop shouting.

Everything that was bustling outside had nothing to do with Kong Shangxian at this moment. Soon, he calmed down and gave instructions to the bearer of the sedan chair.

"Go to Yan's Mansion first!"

"Yes, sir!"

After that, the sedan chaired by Kong Shangxian headed towards the location of Yan Mansion.

Yan's Mansion is located in the most prosperous street in the capital. Since it is very close to the Forbidden City, every inch of land is expensive. All the dignitaries and dignitaries live nearby.

At this moment, at the door of Yan's Mansion, the boy in charge of the door was yawning constantly and chatting about recent gossip in the mansion.

"Hey, have you heard? Something strange happened in the house recently. The food prepared in advance in the kitchen is inexplicably missing a lot!"

The boy on the side heard this and responded rather disdainfully.

"This is a big fuss. I think it was probably the Four Seasons Good (note: solid-colored cat) that Xiaoge raised!"

While the boy in charge of guarding the door was chatting, he saw an extremely luxuriously decorated sedan parked at the entrance of Yan's mansion.

When the young man saw this, he quickly stopped talking. After all, the people who could ride in such a sedan were either rich or noble, and they were far beyond their ability to offend!
Not long after, a man who looked like a housekeeper came to the two young men responsible for guarding the door. He cupped his hands and said respectfully.

"May I ask, are Mr. Yan Ge and Mr. Xiao Ge at home?"

One of the boys looked the visitor up and down, then leaned down and asked respectfully.

"excuse me, you are?"

"To be honest, I am the steward of the Kong family in Qufu. In the sedan is sitting my master, the contemporary Yan Shenggong Kong Shangxian. Please go in and let me know!"

When the boy heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and immediately, he forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and bowed respectfully to the visitor.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go in and let you know!"

"Well, it's time to work!"

After the servant finished speaking, he did not dare to stop at the scene at all, and immediately ran into Yan's mansion through the side door specially used for slaves.

After entering Yan's Mansion, the boy quickly found the housekeeper and breathlessly reported the news of Kong Shangxian's arrival to him.

"No... that's not good. Suddenly a sedan came outside. The person on the sedan said he was the contemporary Yan Shenggong!"

"What did you say? Duke Yansheng is here!"

After listening to the boy's report, the housekeeper suddenly turned pale and trembled with fear. After all, before this, Yan Song had given repeated orders and repeated that no one was allowed to meet Kong Shangxian without his permission!
"No matter what, it just so happens that Mr. Xiaoge is resting at home today. I have to tell him the news quickly!"

The housekeeper thought this, and immediately gave the order to the boy who came to report the news just now.

"You go back right now to stabilize them, do you understand?"

"Yes, butler!"

When the boy heard the words, he immediately responded in a deep voice and disappeared in a flash.

Seeing this situation, the housekeeper shook his head helplessly and immediately walked towards the room where Yan Shifan was.

……

In the room, Yan Shifan got up early in the morning.

At this moment, he was sitting next to the bookcase, following the example of his father Yan Song, holding a copy of "Spring and Autumn" and reading it with relish.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, which disturbed his mood.

Immediately, Yan Shifan showed an unhappy expression, put down the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand, and said coldly. "Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "squeak" sound, the door of the room was pushed open, and a panic-looking housekeeper walked in and reported to him.

"Mr. Xiaoge, no...it's not good, there's...there's someone coming from outside..."

Seeing the housekeeper's panic, Yan Shifan couldn't help but frowned and reprimanded.

"You are in such a panic, how can you act appropriately? Who is coming outside?"

After hearing Yan Shifan's words, the housekeeper sorted out the words in his mind before speaking tremblingly.

"Xiao... Mr. Xiao Ge, the young man came in just now to announce that the contemporary Yan Shenggong Kong Shangxian has arrived. His sedan chair is waiting at the door!"

After listening to the butler's report, Yan Shifan's face flashed with shock. Immediately, he slammed the table and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, he actually has the nerve to come to my Yan's house. Go tell him right away, just say that I'm ill and don't see anyone!"

Seeing that Yan Shifan had given specific instructions, the housekeeper couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and immediately responded.

"Yes, Mr. Xiao Ge, please go ahead now!"

After the housekeeper left, Yan Shifan sat back at the desk again. When he picked up the "Spring and Autumn" on the table and planned to continue reading, he found that he could not concentrate no matter what, and his mood became extremely... irritable.

Yan Shifan had no choice but to put down the "Spring and Autumn" in his hand and immediately sighed.

"Oh, it's true, troubles are coming one after another!"

……

At this moment, at the door of Yan Mansion.

Kong Shangxian opened the sedan curtain and looked at the two stone lions and two doormen at the door, as well as the plaque with the word 'Yanfu' written in gilt script hanging on the bright red door.

"What's going on? Why has there been no news for so long?"

Kong Shangxian thought so, and soon he saw the housekeeper of Yan Mansion walking out, coming to his sedan, and reporting respectfully.

"Mr. Yan Sheng, I'm really sorry. Today it's Mr. Yan Ge's turn to be on duty in the cabinet. Mr. Xiao Ge is ill and cannot see guests for the time being. I hope Mr. Yan Sheng will understand!"

After listening to the butler's words, Kong Shangxian's expression suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he couldn't understand the meaning.

"Huh, the Yan family clearly doesn't want to have anything to do with me. Yan Shifan is sick? Huh, what a bullshit reason!"

"I don't believe it anymore. Without you, what will your Majesty do to me? No matter what, I am also the contemporary Duke Yan!"

Kong Shangxian thought like this, and immediately turned his eyes to the housekeeper of Yan Mansion, nodded indiscernibly, and gave instructions.

"Well, in that case, I won't bother you!"

When the butler heard this, a look of sincerity and fear suddenly appeared on his face, he leaned down and said respectfully.

"Mr. Yansheng, please walk slowly!"

The butler responded with a cold snort.

After the sedan that Kong Shangxian was riding in traveled far away, the housekeeper slowly raised his head and wiped away the fine beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeves.

"Oh, we can't afford to offend anyone, so we can only be careful in everything!"

After the housekeeper finished speaking, he sighed helplessly and immediately walked towards Yan's Mansion.

When passing by the boy who was responsible for guarding the door, the housekeeper stopped, turned around, looked at the two boys, and gave instructions quite casually.

"When the time comes, you two will receive one month more monthly allowance!"

"Yes, thank you butler! Thank you butler!"

When the two young men in charge of guarding the door heard this, they were stunned for a moment and then responded with tears of gratitude.
