Fruity Manhua Ting

Chapter 19
Rested at Luohe post station for one night, early in the morning of the next day, Jia asked someone to hitch up the carriage, and took the family on the road.

Before going out, Mu Caiwei glanced at the upper room, only to see that it was quiet and there was no sound at all.She wondered to herself: Are these people still asleep?
Look at that young man last night, although the moon-white shirt he was wearing was not necessarily luxurious, it was hard to conceal his graceful demeanor.The more than 20 followers who followed him were well-trained and sharp-eyed, and they might be masters with profound kung fu.

This person, I am afraid the status is not low!
It's just that mother Jia can't see what's good or bad, so I hope I don't offend others!

Along the way, Mu Caiwei's heart was always up and down. She was looking forward to arriving in the capital early, but also felt that it was coming too fast, so she was not prepared.

Departing from Luohe Station, the road went smoothly to the capital.

Looking at the towering and majestic city gate wall, Mu Caiwei could only feel the blood rushing to her heart.

The capital city that she dreams about in her sleep, where all the dreams of the owner of her body are buried, she can't rest in peace, and the deep hatred is always flowing and clamoring in her body, so that she, an outsider, doesn't want to avenge her. !
It's just that the city gate seems to be a little different today. The soldiers guarding the gate are all dressed in white, and the gate tower is also hung with white silk gauze. The normally prosperous capital seems to be immersed in great sorrow.

Let the soldiers guarding the gate wear white filial piety, and let the gates of the city be covered with white gauze, what kind of people are gone?

Mu Caiwei's thoughts changed, and there was a faint guess in her mind: Could it be that the current emperor...?
Jia Shi obviously also saw this situation. Although she hadn't seen much in the world, this huge ostentation still made her usual laughing and quarrelsome temperament restrained a lot, and she stayed quietly in the car like a cicada.

Mu Caiwei signaled the coachman to go down and inquire quietly, and after a while there was a result: it turned out that the current Crown Prince passed away.

That's right.

In her previous life, she remembered that His Highness the Crown Prince was weak and sick, but he didn't die at this time.

How could all this be ahead of schedule in this life?
No matter what, since His Highness the Crown Prince is about to attend a funeral, the chariots and horsemen entering the city must be careful not to collide with them.

Jia quickly ordered his servants to buy white gauze from the shop and hang them on every carriage, and also ordered the servants at home not to make any noise, and the family cautiously came to the uncle's house in Sitiao Hutong in the southeast corner of Beijing. .

The eldest uncle is now a third-rank Beijing official, and the Yue family is extremely powerful, so this house is naturally extremely grand.

This southeast corner is the most prosperous area in central Beijing. Most of the dignitaries and nobles in central Beijing buy real estate here, and it can be said that every inch of land is expensive.

There are row upon row of shops all around, bustling with each other during the daytime, and the bustle of people is extraordinary.

To be able to buy a house here, apart from status, this wealth should not be underestimated.

Although my uncle has been an official in central Beijing for many years, the only place he can stay is Qingshui Yamen. In the past few years, he has been serving as a lecturer in the Imperial Academy. If I want to buy such a house, I am afraid that I will be powerless.I am afraid that all of this is still helped by the eldest aunt's family.

It is conceivable why the eldest uncle is so obsessed with the eldest aunt.As the saying goes, "The mouth that eats people is short, but the hand that grabs people is soft." This principle is applicable everywhere.

When he came to the main entrance of the house, but saw that there was no figure of his uncle or father at the door, Jia Shi felt uncomfortable.

Their carriage was led by a housekeeper to stop at the corner gate on the west side, and the group got out of the carriage, only to find out that the eldest uncle, eldest aunt and father had all gone to the palace to guard the spirit of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Jiashi felt a little better, so she took the whole family and followed the butler inside.

Ordinarily there is no adult in the family, the cousins ​​of the uncle's family should also come out to meet the aunt and sister who came from afar, why didn't a serious master come out?
The housekeeper seemed to see Jia's displeasure, and hurriedly explained that the eldest lady was going to leave the cabinet this year, and it coincided with the prince's new funeral, the wife went to the palace from early to late to pay his respects, and could not handle the dowry matters, so the eldest lady had to arrange it herself.

Second Miss has been exposed to the wind and cold for the past few days, and she is still too young to see guests.The young master is studying hard in the school, and he won't come back until evening.

The nagging finally made Mu Caiwei understand that this family can't see visitors anyway.

She doesn't care either, anyway, her aunt looked down on them in the previous life, since she didn't see them, forget it, out of sight, out of mind.

This house is quite big, with three entrances and three exits, there are dozens of rooms.

After entering the door, there is a row of inverted houses, all of which are occupied by servants.The door leading to the second entrance is a door with a pattern of passionflower carved on it, which is really exquisite.

There are two small cross courtyards in the east and west gates. I don't know who lives there.

But the housekeeper took them to Xikua Courtyard, where Jia thought they were allowed to live there, and was overjoyed: after all, this sister-in-law is quite polite.

Who knew that he didn't stop after entering the Xikua courtyard, and walked through the courtyard to a small abandoned courtyard in the northwest corner of the mansion. There were about a dozen houses there, but they looked dilapidated, and they didn't know when they would stay. of.

Jia Shi was not happy, his face was tense, the handkerchief in his hand was twisted, and he muttered, "I've never seen such hospitality, let us live in such a house, even worse than my hometown. Woolen cloth."

The butler pretended to be confused and laughed, "My wife said that these days I have been entering the palace, so I don't have time to clean it up. The other places are full of people, so if it's not good, I'll move, and I'll vacate a house for the second wife after a while. "

Now, what can happen now, no matter how powerful Jia is at home, he can't make a fuss in other people's territory.

The whole family was exhausted and longed for a place to rest, so they were very particular about it.

After dismissing the butler, a few girls and women went in with their luggage rolls to lay out the table.Mu Caiwei and the rest of the family allocated rooms and went to rest.

When it was time for dinner, no one came to tell them to go ahead for dinner.

Jia Shi really couldn't stand it, so she took the girl and went up to have a look.

It is said that the eldest sister-in-law Qian was born in a wealthy family, with a scholarly family, why are they so neglected?Are they here to eat and drink?
Where did Jia Shi suffer such a loss at home!
Only later did I realize that uncle Mu Shirong, Mu Shilan, and sister-in-law Qian Shi had just come out of the palace, and the servants were busy serving them.

Even though Jia Shi had a mouth full of words, he couldn't say a word.

They were busy outside all day, and they didn't even have a sip of hot water when they just came back, so can they care about them?

It's just that she can't figure it out, even if the master is outside, is the family in chaos?Why are the servants in the family so blank, making their relatives who just came from their hometown not even have a mouthful of tea and rice!
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Jia quickly greeted his uncle and sister-in-law, and met Mu Shilan and his wife again.
