Yan Cigui.

Chapter 34
It was light.

Outside Uncle Chengyi's mansion, a carriage stopped, and the steward who came with the carriage stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The small door on the side opened, and the old servant Linton poked his head out: "Which distinguished guest is knocking at the door?"

The steward handed over the name tag.

"Mr. Xu's mansion?" Linton wondered.

There is always a time for door visits. How can someone knock on the door early in the morning?

In the past few times when people came to Xu Guogong's mansion, they handed over the post first and then came to the door. They had never acted in such a hurry, let alone disregarded the time.

Linton looked at the carriage, and the pattern of the lantern on the carriage was indeed correct.

Seeing him scrutinizing him, the steward said, "The Duke, Mrs. Guo and the third son are here together, and they are in the car."

"Yo!" Upon hearing this, Linton straightened his appearance.

Whether the time is right or not, a guest is a guest.

How can I neglect the hospitality of the uncle's mansion.

When Linton arrived in front of the car, he respectfully saluted and greeted him: "Your guest is coming, I am sorry to welcome you."

Xu Guogong lifted the side curtain and saw that the door was still closed, so he couldn't help pursing his lips heavily.

Mrs. Guo saw it and shook her head slightly at her husband.

It is not uncommon for Ke'er to cause such a thing, and the uncle's house must be angry, so it is not unusual to close the door.

Since my family has come to apologize, it is right to bow my head.

Furthermore, the old lady of Nabo Mansion has a good face, the more "losing some face" in her family, the more embarrassed the old lady will be.

What's the point of being shut out?
Xu Guogong also knew this, so he held his temper and said: "Your mansion has opened the gate, so we can go in and apologize to the old lady."

Linton was at a loss: "Apologize to the old lady? Lord, where do you start with this?"

His tone was sincere, and he didn't know the situation. It fell into the ears of some people with ghosts in Xu Guogong's mansion, and he seemed eccentric.

Xu Guogong's expression changed.

Ke'er did a good job!

As a result, he was a dignified prince, but was embarrassed by a servant who was the gatekeeper of the uncle's mansion!

"I will explain to the old lady later," Xu Guogong said, "it is inconvenient for the neighbors to come and go when the car is parked here."

Upon hearing this, Linton said, "The distinguished guests have come at an inconvenient time, and the old lady is not in the mansion."

Xu Guogong directly lowered the curtain, and then, the curtain in front of the car was lifted, and before the steward had time to arrange the pedals, he jumped off.

"Aren't you in the mansion so early in the morning?" He couldn't believe it, and strode towards the door.

Linton followed, "It's really not in the mansion. The old lady went to the mountain to escape the summer heat the day before yesterday."

"Where's Uncle Chengyi?" Xu Guogong asked, "Is he always here?"

He also had a face-to-face meeting with Lin Yu outside the Qianbu Corridor yesterday.

"No," Linton replied. "My uncle is not on duty today. After finishing his duty yesterday, he went up the mountain to accompany the old lady."

Xu Guogong: ...

Such a coincidence?
When he was three years old, would he believe in such a coincidence?
Obviously, it is behind closed doors!

Mrs. Xu Guogong understood her husband's temper, and was worried that he would get angry with a doorman outside the gate, so she quickly got out of the car and came over.

"I don't know which master is still in the mansion?" She hurriedly interjected.

Linton said honestly, "The princess is here."

Mrs. Xu Guogong's footsteps stopped.

Only Princess Ning'an is in the mansion?

She quietly tugged at Xu Guogong's cuff.

Xu Guogong knew what she meant, and stood on the steps, neither advancing nor retreating.

That's not just a junior, but also a little girl in her boudoir.

There is no such rule in the duke's mansion when they come to the door, even if the duke's wife is there, it doesn't seem to matter.

Furthermore, let Ke'er apologize to the princess and talk about what happened on West Street...

If it is reported to the Compassionate Ning Palace, how can the Su family still find favor?
However, he returned home in defeat...

Xu Guogong categorically refused to go back empty-handed, he stared at the plaque on the lintel of Chengyi Bo's Mansion for a while, his heart broke.

Those who live on this street are either with titles or officials in the court, and they are not in vain.

The old lady went to escape the summer heat, this must be an excuse for the uncle's house.

It is said that she is thin-skinned, so let Ke'er kneel outside the mansion for three days and three nights to see who can't afford to lose this person!

"Ke'er!" Xu Guogong raised his voice, "How long are you going to sit in the car, why don't you hurry up and get down!"

In the carriage, Su Ke held his head and refused to move.

In the early hours of the morning, he just woke up from the faint, and his whole body was terribly uncomfortable, and then he fell asleep again in a daze, and his dream was full of bad things.

He just stood there on West Street, laughing from all directions.

He couldn't see clearly the faces of the people surrounded by three floors, only the faces of the people with high grins, leaning forward and backward with smiles.

All watching his jokes!
After not sleeping for a long time, he was dragged up again and got into the carriage. It would be fine if he entered the uncle's mansion to make amends, but he was outside the uncle's mansion...

"Come down!"

Xu Guogong was still urging, but Su Ke couldn't resist him, so he could only shrink his neck and dawdle to get out of the car.

Suddenly, the little door which Linton had closed creaked open.

Lin Yunyan walked out with Wan Yue.

No one outside knew, they had been listening inside for quite a while.

"Uncle Dun," she called out, "who's here? Why are they all around the door?"

Lin Dun hurried over and replied: "Mr. Xu Guo, his wife, and the third son came. They said they wanted to make an apology to the old lady. The younger one said that the masters are not in the house, but you."

Lin Yunyan nodded, smiled slightly and bowed to several people: "It's not a coincidence that the honored guest came."

Xu Guogong frowned and looked at her, the old lady didn't show up, let the princess come to play the vanguard?

"Everyone else in the mansion has gone to escape the summer, why is the princess still here?" He asked.

The tone of these words was very unkind, Lin Yunyan was about to make trouble, but taking this opportunity, her face immediately showed displeasure.

"You guys came here at this time just to find out why I'm at my house?" Lin Yunyan frowned, "I also want to ask, what are you guys doing at the gate of my uncle's house this morning?"

Unknowingly, there were more people on the street than when the steward knocked on the door. People from various houses went out to do errands and purchases, and when they noticed the movement outside Chengyi's house, they all stopped, whether they knew the situation or not.

Lin Yunyan is not afraid of people watching.

On the contrary, her goal is to be watched by the crowd.

Seeing Lin Yunyan's dissatisfaction, Wan Yue stretched out her hand to support her: "Uncle Gang Dun said that Duke Xu's mansion is here to make amends."

"A gift?" Lin Yunyan was surprised, and looked up at Xu Guogong and his wife, "What kind of gift should I pay?"

Xu Guogong's face was like black charcoal.

The development of this matter is different from what he thought.

Word is bound to spread, but they're here so early to get a head start.

Since they couldn't enter the gate, Ke'er was asked to kneel down, and the couple went back to the house, waiting to discuss it outside, with Xiao Duan's temperament, they would naturally back down three steps.

But the princess looked like she wanted to ask for clarification...

This is not "apology", this is a joke being seen face to face.

Xu Guogong turned around, strode up behind Su Ke, raised his foot and kicked his son's calf.

Unprepared, Su Ke staggered two steps and knelt down on the ground, looking at his father in astonishment.

"The brat is too disgraceful!" Xu Guogong grieved, "Since the old lady is not in the mansion, let him kneel here, and when the old lady comes back, let him make amends face to face!"

　There are a lot of things these days, so don't worry.

　　Thanks to the book friend Xu Bicheng's official girlfriend for the reward, and thanks to the book friend BriGht_L for the reward.
