Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 635: Home is worse than anything else

Chapter 635: Nothing is as good as home
After coming out of the palace, Master Hu got a carriage from the palace gate and prepared to return home.

As to which inspector in the palace or which government office in the six ministries the carriage belonged to, Master Hu did not notice.

If they robbed it, they robbed it. It’s not like they are not going to return it. What can you do?
He kicked the coachman, not feeling the slightest bit embarrassed for robbing someone else's carriage. Instead, he gave orders with confidence.

"Didn't you see me coming up? Send me back to the mansion!"

The driver didn't even ask, "Who are you?"

After all, if these coachmen who were responsible for driving the official carriages in the government office didn’t even recognize the people, they would probably be kicked away early.

As Master Hu is one of the most prominent figures in Yingtian City, how could this group of well-informed drivers not know him?
But he really wanted to tell Master Hu that his carriage was exclusively for the Ministry of War...

But he had just been kicked by Master Hu for being a little slow, and before he could say anything, his body had already swung the reins very freely.

Got it!
They have already started running. If I chase Master Hu away now, I am afraid I will not survive the night.

After all, judging from his appearance just now, Mr. Hu seemed to be in a bad mood today.

If you run into trouble, it would be an unexpected disaster.

Thinking of this horrible possibility, the driver swallowed in fear and then straightened his back.

He used up almost all of his driving skills gained from most of his life to control this carriage that he was so familiar with.

The purpose is just to send Master Hu back home quickly and safely!
As for where Mr. Hu lives?
BIG courage!
As long as the coachmen are in the business, even if they are not specialized in picking up and dropping off people like Mr. Hu, how could they not know about the residences of these top nobles?
You know, no matter which government office's official carriage it is from, there will always be situations where superiors need to visit a big shot's residence for "official business".

At this time, don't you stand up and ask where you are?

Therefore, without giving Master Hu a chance to say a word, the carriage stopped steadily in front of the gate of the Hu Mansion.

The driver reminded him in the most humble tone of his life: "Mr. Hu, you are here!"

Master Hu, who was swaying and feeling a little sleepy in the carriage, was startled by the shout.

He jumped off the carriage with a sullen face, looked at the doorman who opened it and came out to see what was going on, then smiled in surprise, and waved his hand.

"I hailed this carriage randomly from the palace gate. I'll give the reward and ask Hu Yi to reimburse me later!"

After saying that, he walked towards the mansion without caring about anything else.

As the doorman of the Hu Mansion, he has seen all kinds of scenes.

He generously took off the small purse from his waist, took out a small silver ingot weighing ten taels and threw it to the eager driver.

"Here, our master gave it to you!"

"You are lucky, you happened to meet our master who needed a car!"

"You don't normally get this opportunity!"

The driver, holding the cold little silver ingot, smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.

There was not a trace of the depressed look he had shown before when he was complaining about his bad luck today.

Moreover, the driver really couldn't refute such words.

After all, Master Hu was usually either picked up and dropped off by his own carriage, or sent home by a carriage directly from the palace.

How could it be like today where I have to just 'grab' a car from the door!
Haha, he deserves to earn this extra money.

Of course, no one knows whether he will have the courage to be a coachman for Master Hu next time.

When he walked into his own mansion, it was only a door away, but Master Hu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

My mind was filled with only one thought: "Finally I'm back!"

If Zhu Yuanzhang had received this urgent imperial edict, he would have returned leisurely and would not have felt so deeply.

But this long journey back at night and in the sky finally made Master Hu, who had not worked hard for a long time, tired. After returning to his mansion, Master Hu, who was lazy in every pore, looked at the familiar flowers and plants in the courtyard and felt that everything was pleasing to the eye.

"master!"

"Why are you back?"

Hu Yi, who rushed over after hearing the noise, still found it hard to believe even when he saw Master Hu in person.

After all, it was not easy for his master to go out and play, but he originally thought it would take at least half a year.

As a result, it’s only been half a month and the person has already arrived home?
Could something have happened?

The key point is that his only son Hu Rong went out with Master Hu.

Why is there no one here?
Fortunately, Master Hu made the matter clear with just a few words.

"You think I'm happy to come back at this time?"

"Isn't it an urgent decree from His Majesty?"

"Everyone else is still in Suzhou right now. I'm the only one who rushed back day and night!"

"Hurry up, get some refreshing side dishes and some wine, and get me some hot water!"

"I'm going to take a bath, drink some wine and have a good sleep!"

After hearing Master Hu’s explanation, Hu Yi immediately understood.

Oh, urgent decree!
This is totally normal.

Given the status of my master in the royal family and in His Majesty's eyes, it is only natural to summon him to the palace immediately if something happens.

Of course, since Master Hu didn't say what specifically led to his recall, Hu Yi naturally wouldn't ask.

Having worked as the steward of the Hu residence for so many years, if he didn't have this little bit of foresight, he would have been kicked out long ago.

"Then please go to the backyard first, sir. Don't worry about the rest. I will arrange it for you right away!"

"Well, hurry up, I can hardly open my eyes. I won't sleep well unless I take a bath!"

Over the past few years, Master Hu has been completely spoiled and turned into a useless person who is used to being served.

But to be honest, it's really comfortable to be a waste like this.

So, he came to the backyard and greeted the surprised girls first, and also explained the reason why he came back early.

Then Mr. Hu slipped away to the bathhouse.

This is a large bathhouse exclusively for his use.

Or you can call it an indoor small swimming pool.

It can be used for both showering and bathing, and there is even a position specially designed to fit Mr. Hu's body shape so that he can soak in it and get a massage.

It has to be said that technology was underdeveloped in this era.

But as long as you have money and can command people, the craftsman who is only interested in making money will definitely find a way to let you enjoy everything you deserve.

Look, Mr. Hu is soaking in the pool naked with his hair loose and he is enjoying himself now.

Mr. Hu, who was sitting in his 'special seat' with his hands spread out, not only had his shoulders and back massaged, but there was also a beautiful woman serving him carefully, with sips of wine and bites of food.

At this moment, Master Hu sighed with satisfaction.

"It's better to be at home!"
