Travel to ancient times and make a fortune

Chapter 164 Hu Die Returns Home
"Cough cough, cough cough!" The woman coughed hard several times before she regained her composure. Then she took out her water bag and took a gulp of water.

She had been following this team for several days. She knew that it was a team returning from disaster relief, and she also knew that it was led by King Xiaoyao.

She ate a lot of ashes along the way, but she couldn't pass her quickly. Those who were walking in front were the heroes who saved the people from fire and water, so they should be allowed to go in front.

Fortunately, they were approaching the capital soon. According to the usual practice, the team would have to set up camp forty or fifty miles outside the capital. When the time came, she would just go around to the front.

At the beginning of Youshi, the woman on horseback was finally able to raise her whip and move forward quickly. In just over half an hour, she successfully entered the capital.

The moment she entered Beijing, looking at everything familiar in front of her, the woman looked at the sky, and then sighed softly: "Oh, I'm finally back!"

There was no reason to ride a horse in the city, so the woman just pulled the reins and let the horse walk slowly.

Various hawking sounds gradually came to her ears, which reminded her of the happy time when Li Xiao took her shopping together and ate on the street when she was in Liuning Mansion.

Yes, this woman on horseback is Hu Die who left Liuning Mansion at the end of September.

When he first met Hu Die, Li Xiao felt that she was not an ordinary girl. Therefore, although he hired her as the manager of "Xiao Xiao Xiang Tian", he did not sign any employment documents and said that she could come and go freely.

Now that Hu Die has appeared in the capital, he seems to be extremely familiar with the capital. It can be seen that Li Xiao's guess at the time was correct.

Hu Die rode a horse and slowly passed through the noisy streets, gradually entering the east part of the capital and arriving at a quiet residential area.

It is said to be a residential area. If Li Xiao were here, he would definitely say that this is a luxury villa area!

In Dali, there are also obvious class divisions in the areas within the capital city.

The imperial palace faces south and occupies two-thirds of the entire northern inner city, which is called the imperial city.The remaining place is where the royal family lives.

Ouyang Yiyun had insisted on giving Li Xiao a jade pendant before because Xiaoyao Palace is a prince's palace and is located in the inner city. Although entering the inner city is not as difficult as entering the imperial city, it is not easy either.

That jade pendant has the mark of Xiaoyao Prince's Palace. When the guards at the inner city gate see it, they will naturally let it go quickly.

Outside the inner city is the outer city, and the east, west, and south of the city are divided into the outer city.

To the east of the city, there are usually powerful families, such as the Marquis's Mansion, the Bo's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and other officials of second and third rank and above, who basically live in the east of the city.

In the west of the city where Li Xiao and the others were located, there were mostly lower-ranking officials, either from wealthy families or from aristocratic families with some background.

As for the south of the city, most of them are ordinary people.Most officials from poor families would also settle in the south of the city.

The four cities in the east, west, south and north that Li Xiao visited before did not refer to the cities in the east, west, south and north of the city, but in terms of the directions of the entire city, they were named east, west, south and north.

But now, since Hu Die is in the east of the city, it can be seen that she is most likely the daughter of a powerful family, or at worst, the family member of a third-rank official or above.

Hu Die, who was riding a horse, walked forward slowly, holding the reins in one hand and a grain cake in the other.When she stopped in front of a large house, she had just finished the last bite of the cake in her hand.

He got off his horse and knocked on the door with a bang.

The concierge opened the door and was about to scold the visitor, but when he saw the visitor, he almost knelt down in excitement. "Miss... Miss!" The concierge who opened the door stammered. Then he thought of something and turned his head to signal the other person. When he saw the person leaving, he hurriedly opened the door and came out to greet Hu Die.

Hu Die didn't bother to pay attention to the quarrel between the concierge's eyes. He handed the horse rein to the concierge and strode into the mansion.

When the porter saw Hu Die walking away, he looked at the reins in his hands, then looked up at the big "Yongchang Uncle's Mansion" plaque on the door, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, it's time for Yongchang Bo's Mansion to be lively again!"

After saying that, he led the horse away.

Naturally, Li Xiao didn't know that Hu Die, whom he was always thinking about, was actually the eldest lady of the Yongchang residence, and she was already living with him in the capital city!
As for this Hu Die, as soon as she entered the mansion, she ran directly to her colorful butterfly garden, but on the way, she met a mother in charge.

"Miss, uncle, please go to his study." The mother in charge bowed to Hu Die respectfully, and then said softly.

"Mom Qi, please tell daddy that I'm tired. I'm going back to wash up and rest. If you have anything to do, let him talk to you tomorrow!" After saying that, Mom Qi strode away without waiting for her reaction.

Mother Qi had no choice but to return to the front yard to reply.

Hu Rongwei, the uncle of Yongchang who was waiting in the study room in the front yard, naturally jumped in anger after hearing Qi's mother's reply, but after a while of cursing, he turned to sit behind the desk silently.

"Does she look okay?" After saying this, she let out a long sigh.

"Back to uncle, the eldest lady seems to be fine, but the old slave seems to be really tired from the long journey. How about letting the eldest lady have a good rest and talk to you tomorrow if you have anything to do?"

Mother Qi is actually Uncle Hu's nanny, so she understands him best, and Uncle Hu doesn't hide many things from her.

Mother Qi naturally knew that her uncle actually cared about the eldest lady very much. Even if he often lost his temper at the eldest lady, it was because of the depth of his love.

Therefore, as a servant, Qi’s mother dared to say this.

"Tomorrow, after breakfast tomorrow, go and ask her to come over." After a pause, Uncle Hu changed his words and said, "Forget it, I'll go to her yard by myself tomorrow!"

After speaking, Uncle Hu waved his hand, and Qi's mother retreated.

That night, the lights were on in Uncle Hu's study in the Yongchang Mansion. Miss Hu Die, the 'culprit' who caused this result, took a beautiful bath under the care of the maid after returning to her yard. , and then slept beautifully again.

She didn't care at all whether anyone in this mansion would have a sleepless night because of her return.

The next day, Hu Die slept until the beginning of the morning, then lazily got up.

While she was preparing to eat, Cai Die Garden also welcomed its first batch of guests.

"Is the eldest sister finally having enough fun outside and willing to go back to the uncle's house? The younger sister thought that the elder sister chose the younger sister because the second son of Anqing Hou broke off her engagement. The elder sister ran away from home in anger and did not want to come back. !”

The speaker was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, wearing a pink skirt. She spoke in a cooing voice. After speaking, she pretended not to brush the gold-inlaid jade hairpin on her bun.
