Changsheng starts from Tiangang 36

Chapter 10

Entering January, the temperature is getting colder and colder. Even at noon, the air looks like it is about to freeze.

Jiang Li walked in the Hou's mansion, Xueliu was in front, Yanyu and Shiyun followed behind Jiang Li, as if he was a prisoner under escort.

Jiang Li has long been used to this kind of treatment.

He is actually a prisoner under guard in this Nuo Dahou's mansion.

The crime he committed was only that the eldest lady was jealous of his mother who had passed away for many years.

That's right, jealousy!
When Jiang Li was young, he had confirmed this point from the words of some servants in the mansion.

But no matter how he thought, he didn't feel that Jiang Shirong had any warmth for his mother.

And he had a vague feeling that Jiang Shirong seemed very afraid of facing his mother.

"No. 1 martial art in the world, Marquis Wu of Dazhou Town is afraid of a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken!" Jiang Li was puzzled.

Walking through the long alleyway, through many courtyards, gardens, and promenades, Jiang Li walked for two sticks of incense before arriving at Qiluanxuan where the eldest lady lived.

It is said that once you enter the Houmen, it is as deep as the sea, and this is the best proof.

"Why are you here so late?"

"Qiluanxuan" has a tall and grand gate, although it is only the courtyard where the eldest lady lives, it is more magnificent than the mansions of fourth and fifth rank officials in Shengjing City.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, [-] sergeants dressed in Da Zhou's brave armor stood with halberds, and the silver armor, which had been tempered and honed, burst out with cold light in the sunlight, chilling the majesty.

When Jiang Li and the three daughters walked outside the gate of Qiluanxuan, there was already a slack-faced but frosty nun in her early sixties waiting on the stone steps.

"Yan Momo, why did you come out!"

Hearing the scolding, Xueliu hurried forward. She put her legs together and bent her knees, lowering her head slightly: "It's all because Jiang Li was walking slowly, so he was late!"

Yanyu and Siyun behind Jiang Li also hurriedly saluted.

"A concubine who is ignorant and incompetent, has neither skill nor fame, going to Uncle Liu's mansion is also an embarrassment to Lord Hou!"

Yan Momo glanced at Jiang Li expressionlessly, then turned and walked into Qiluanxuan.

"Jiang Li, hurry up and keep up, it's because of your slow walking that caused me to be scolded!"

Xue Liu turned her head and scolded angrily, and quickened her pace to catch up with the former.

Jiang Li didn't speak, but silently followed behind Xue Liu.

In his memory, every time his predecessor came to Qiluanxuan, he was always worried and careful, for fear of doing something wrong and being punished by the eldest lady.

This was Jiang Li's first time entering Luanxuan after his rebirth, but the memory in his mind was too deep, which made him feel very depressed.

Qiluanxuan occupies one-fifth of the area of ​​Hou Mansion.

Pavilions, pavilions, pools and waterside pavilions are hidden among green trees and cypresses, and are decorated with rockery and strange rocks, bonsai flower beds and various rare green plants.

The houses with exquisite carvings are connected in a row, and there are undulating mountains and hills. I don't know how many rooms there are. Jiang Li even saw a big stage.

It is said that there are hundreds of servants serving the eldest lady in Qiluanxuan alone.

"Jiang Li, the eldest lady is eating, you wait here honestly, don't look around!"

After walking for a while, they came to a large hall, Yan Momo said coldly, and led Xueliu and the others into the hall first.

Standing outside the hall, Jiang Li glanced around, and saw a middle-aged beautiful woman with a graceful and luxurious appearance and jewels sitting behind a long table in the depths of the hall, with a calm expression and elegant manners.

The long table is made of golden nanmu, with a simple and elegant shape, carved with dragons and painted phoenixes, and is 20 meters long.

There are nearly a hundred dishes and bowls, large and small, filled with all kinds of delicacies, delicacies, exquisite pastries, thick soups and fresh fruits.

Eighteen young girls with delicate faces and fair skin and pink lips walked around the long table like butterflies, and walked up to the middle-aged beautiful woman with dishes.

The two personal maids wearing ermine jackets watched her words and expressions, and according to the middle-aged beautiful woman's preferences, they picked up dishes and scooped up fresh soup and delivered them to the beautiful woman's mouth.

"What a big show!"

Looking at the mountains of dishes on the long table, Jiang Li couldn't help shaking his head.

In this world, there are also civilians and poor people. Just like in previous lives, most people live in poverty.

Da Furen's table of dishes costs at least several hundred taels of silver, which is equivalent to the entire property of a middle-class family in Shengjing City.

Jiang Shirong was an important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with a high position and authority, but he claimed to be clean and honest.

The royal family rewarded a lot of land, real estate, and manors, but they couldn't support the expenses of the Hou Mansion.

I don't know what filled the gap in the money.

"Forget it, let's all withdraw!"

In the main hall, He Lou's eyes caught Jiang Li standing outside the hall, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he suddenly felt upset and lost his appetite.

She waved her hand in disgust, and the servants and servants in the palace quickly removed the long tables and dishes, making almost no sound during the process.

"Miss, that bastard is still waiting outside the door!" Yan Momo said in a low voice.

"Let him in!"

He Loushi nodded, and Yan Momo shouted out of the hall.

"The concubine Jiang Li pays his respects to the eldest lady!"

Jiang Li stepped into the hall, stood at the entrance of the hall, bowed his head to pay his respects, and did not look up at He Loushi who was sitting at the head of the hall.

This is also He Loushi's request.

She once said that she hated Jiang Li's face very much, and ordered him not to look up whenever he came in.

The air in the hall fell into silence.

Except for He Loushi, Yan Momo and a few personal maids, all the servants have already left the hall.

After an unknown amount of time, He Lou's voice came from above.

"Jiang Li, you were unlucky when you were young, and your mother died early. Fortunately, you have grown up under the protection of my Marquis's wings. I have also had high expectations for you these years. I hope that when you grow up, you will be like your other children Like an elder brother, share the worries of his father and serve the court!
"But you are cowardly, you don't like writing and you are not good at martial arts, you still haven't become a talent after all!"

He Loushi sighed long, his tone was sad, and he looked very sad.

"Jiang Li is stupid, let Madam down!"

Jiang Li lowered his head, unable to see the expression clearly.

"Forget it, since you are Shi Rong's heir, as the mistress of the Hou Mansion, I can also be considered your mother. No matter how naughty the child is, as a mother, I can't just stand by and ignore it. I still hope that you can have a good home in the end! "

When He Loushi said this, a rare smile appeared on his face: "You are sixteen years old and have reached the age of marriage, but you are the son of a concubine, and the title and property of the Marquis Mansion have nothing to do with you. With a lazy personality and no special skills, a good woman from an ordinary family will naturally look down on you, and I have also worked so hard to find a good marriage for you!"

"Good marriage?"

He Loushi's laughter wafted into his ears, and Jiang Lili's heart skipped a beat, suddenly he had a bad premonition.

When did the eldest lady who always regarded him as a thorn in her flesh become so kind?

He Lou's family above said with a smile: "General Liu Honglie, General Yunhui of the former military governor's mansion, is a uncle conferred by Emperor Jing himself.

"Now Liu Honglie is recruiting a son-in-law for his eldest granddaughter Liu Qingshu, and I accepted it for you first, and now I have registered you as a son-in-law. When the date is determined, I will marry you into the Qianjunbohou's mansion as my son-in-law! "

"Pull me into the status of a son-in-law!"

Jiang Li only felt a thunder burst beside his ears.

He clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, slowly raised his head, Jiang Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked directly into He Loushi's eyes.

According to the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, those who have a son-in-law who has a humble nationality cannot be a farmer, an official, an official, or a teacher.

Apart from becoming merchants, peddlers, monks and priests, and border guards, there is no other way to go.

He Loushi is going to kill him!
