Chapter 2 Entering Sibeile Mansion

After half an hour.

After the carriage passed through several lively streets, it finally arrived at the historically famous Sibeile Mansion.

After getting off the carriage, Anshu and Wu were brought into the mansion by an eunuch.

Walking on the corridor of the mansion, the servants around him looked hurried and serious. Anshu could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the mansion was very depressing, as if they had just experienced something big.

After turning the corner, a servant was taking a piece of white satin off the door curtain. This scene instantly made Anshu frown.

"Don't be troublesome and leave quickly." Before he could think further, the eunuch had already spoken.

So, Anshu and Wu quickly lowered their heads, quickened their pace, and followed the eunuch.

After passing through three courtyards and two corridors, Anshu and Wu were finally brought to Lai Yiyuan in Fujin.

Following the eunuch's shout, Anshu and Wu stepped over the door and walked into the house.

The room was full of people, and two women in formal clothes were sitting at the top of the head. Compared with the temperament and imposing manner, the women sitting on both sides were obviously much different.

Anshu followed Granny Tian's previous introduction in the palace and thought that the two people in high positions were Fujin and Concubine Li.

"Greetings to Fujin," the eunuch said.

"I have seen Fujin, and my servant Niuhulu (Wu) came to greet Fujin." Under the guidance of the eunuch, Anshu and Wu went to Fujin first.

"Come on, come on. When you enter the house, you are all members of your own family, so there is no need to be formal." Fujin couldn't help but say in a slow voice, which made people feel a little calm.

Sure enough, after Anshu and Wu stood up from the ground, Fujin's appearance gradually became clearer in their sights.

Although Fujin's appearance and appearance are not the most beautiful, her demeanor and demeanor are the best. She is sitting there in a big red flag outfit, and she seems to reveal a dignified and virtuous temperament.

Anshu couldn't help but marvel, this was the famous Uranala in history, she really came from a famous family.

"Greetings to Fang Fujin."

As the eunuch's voice sounded again, Anshu's attention turned to the right.

"I have seen Xiu Fujin, and my servant Niuhulu (Wu family) wants to greet Xiu Fujin." Anshu and Wu family asked Li family to greet them.

"Get up. If you don't get up, you will be accused of bullying you later." came Li's sharp voice, which was very sharp.

Out of curiosity, when Anshu followed the Wu family, he paid special attention to the Li family, who was also famous in history.

Although she was sitting there, her rose-red peony flag dress made her look very charming. Perhaps because her appearance and beauty were better than Fujin's, a pair of pink and phoenix eyes glanced at Fujin who was standing aside with disdain from time to time.

"Isn't that right? Sister, the house is so lively today, so I can't spoil everyone's interest." Mrs. Li snorted towards Fujin.

"They just arrived, sister, it's better not to scare them." Fujin's mouth curled up slightly, he lowered his head and picked up the covered cup on the side and took a sip of tea.

"That's true, but since they are all here to serve you, and I am not in the house today, I'd better keep an eye on you for you." As he spoke, Mrs. Li's tone became more sarcastic, and her eyes immediately looked towards the person standing in the hall. of two people.

"Are you Wu?" Mrs. Li looked at Wu and asked.
"Yes, little Mrs. Wu, I hope Fujin will take good care of her in the future." Mrs. Wu was a little timid, and she bowed down and helped Mrs. Li.

"You're so angry." Mrs. Li responded disdainfully, which made Mrs. Wu tremble.

Anshu glanced at this. As a modern person who pursues fairness and freedom, she has no servility in her bones.

"Are you Niuhulu?" Mrs. Li turned her head and looked at Anshu.

"Yes, my slave's name is Anshu, and my surname is Niu Hulu." Anshu responded in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

As soon as Anshu raised his head, Li's eyes were fixed on Anshu, with a sharp look in his eyes.

Looking at Anshu's small and exquisite face and her watery eyes, Mrs. Li wanted to go up and scratch her face: "She looks so charming, I don't know if I like it or not."

"That's enough, Mrs. Li, are you relying on my father's love for you over the years to become more and more presumptuous?" Fujin looked at Anshu for a few times, then scolded him, then turned to Anshu and Mrs. Wu and said: "You have just entered the mansion today. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can go back and ask the maids around you. I have already taken care of everything for you. The Niuhulu family will live in Mantingzhai, which is quiet. The Wu family will live in Shuige. The courtyard is lively there, and it’s good to have company with my sisters.” “Yes, Fujin, I obey the order.” Anshu and Wu responded in unison.

"But you still have to abide by the rules. Today, the fourth master has important things to do and is away from the house, so the reception banquet originally arranged for you will be held after the fourth master comes back. Okay, I'm tired, you all retreat. Get off."

"Yes, Fujin."

Mrs. Li and everyone stood up and saluted Fujin. Just as Anshu turned around and was about to walk out of the house, the sharp voice came again: "You are very lucky. When you come here, you will live in Mantingzhai." Such a good place, not only has the most elegant environment in the house, but it is also the closest to the Fourth Master’s front yard, so Fujin has arranged it very well.”

When Anshu raised her head, Mrs. Li glared at her fiercely and walked out of the room first.

Watching her leaving back, Anshu was keenly aware that the eyes around her were staring at her closely. For a moment, Anshu felt a headache.

After leaving Fujin's courtyard, Anshu followed a maid, while Wu had already been taken to Shuigeyuan.

Walking among the corridors, there are rockeries on both sides, the chirping of flowers, birds and insects, and the turquoise lake not far away. From this perspective alone, you can have a clear view of the huge palace.

Glancing at An Shu's curious eyes, the maid stood in front and said, "Don't be shocked, Gege. This is the back garden of Baylor Mansion. You can take a tour of the entire mansion when you have free time in the future. The emperor gave this mansion to When I gave it to our master, it was the best in the capital."

Upon hearing this, An Shu nodded silently.

It's no wonder that Emperor Kangxi even gave his son a place to live with such a generous gesture.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them continued to walk forward, passed through the corridor, crossed a path, and prepared to turn a corner.

Suddenly, a cry came, which made Anshu stop in his tracks.

She turned her head and looked around, and saw a nanny about forty squatting in a corner, crying and throwing pieces of paper into the brazier: "Brother, it's so unfair for you to go away. You're in such a hurry, it's the nanny who can't help you."

An Shu frowned instantly, filled with doubts.

Suddenly, another nun ran out, rushed to the wet nurse, and pulled her up: "What are you doing? Do you want your life? Didn't you hear Fujin's order? Don't do anything for the eldest brother anymore. Feeling sad."

"But the eldest brother's mourning period is obviously seven days, but this time it has been changed to three days. Is it just to take care of Long Live the Lord's birthday? I think the eldest brother was obviously poisoned to death."

Before the nanny could finish speaking, the nanny covered her mouth and pulled her away, and the brazier was taken away by a eunuch in an instant.

The eldest brother was obviously poisoned to death! ?
No wonder Empress Dowager De concubine gave Yongzheng two princesses in such a hurry. It turned out to be a blessing for him.

Anshu thought about it. Historically, Honghui, the eldest son of Yongzheng, did die young, but the reason was not specified, but it was said that he was poisoned.

A chill spread across her back in an instant.

Anshu didn't care much when she learned about it at the time, but now that she has personally experienced it and knows the true cause of Honghui's death, she suddenly realizes the cruelty of reality.

"Gege, in fact, the eldest brother has been in good health these years, and he is also very smart. Sometimes the fourth master teaches him things in books, and the eldest brother understands everything and can draw inferences from one instance. He is also very obedient. Fourth Master and Fujin's words, so they have always been valued by Fourth Master these years. But four days ago, the eldest brother was originally good, but when he was studying in the study, he ate soup from the dining room, and then suddenly No, this matter instantly alarmed everyone in the house, especially the Fourth Master and Fujin, and even the Long Live Master nervously sent people over to inquire." Seeing that An Shu's face was not good, the maid came over and spoke. road.

Anshu stood aside without saying a word.

"I heard that the fourth master got angry on the spot and pulled everyone in the dining room to be beaten to death with sticks. Later, for some unknown reason, Fujin and several servants in the yard were also pulled to be beaten to death with sticks. Fujin even more There was a big quarrel at Li Fujin's house. This eldest brother was not very lucky. It happened to be the birthday of Long Live Lord. Because of the rules of the palace, if there was a funeral in Beijing, we should try to avoid it. At that time The Fourth Master didn't pay much attention, but Fujin felt that filial piety must be the first priority, so he canceled the funeral in advance."

When An Shu heard this, the chill behind his back became even worse.

In this way, the eldest brother was indeed poisoned to death. This was obviously a plot by people in the backyard to kill the eldest brother in order to fight for power and profit.

And the eldest brother is just a child.

An alarm suddenly sounded in An Shu's heart. She had just entered the house and saw such a cruel thing, and this was just the tip of the iceberg.

It seems that this backyard is not as beautiful as it seems on the surface, it must be very complicated.

She must then have been extremely cautious and careful to have a safe time in the backyard.
