Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 43
To say that the capital is really well-informed, within a quarter of an hour, the news that the Ninth Prince personally went to the gate of the city to welcome Duke Lu into the capital was widely spread.

Those civil and military officials who were thinking about how to curry favor with the Ninth Prince also thought about it clearly, thinking that they would go to visit Duke Lu's mansion some other day when he settled down.

The group of people drove to Qingshui Alley, Lu Ziyu looked out through the curtain, and saw that there were only a few mansion gates in this alley, which seemed sparsely populated.

She was still thinking about what a good place it could be, but it was just a small courtyard, and using such a hut with earth steps to prevaricate them, really regarded him as a beggar in Duke Lu's mansion?

Just as he was angry in his heart, the carriage stopped.

Lifting the curtain of the car, Lu Ziyu first saw two stone lions carved in white marble sitting outside the gate of a mansion, with majestic faces and bearded temples.Looking at the inside, there are three gates with animal heads, the middle is the main gate, the two sides are corner gates, and there are several wooden stakes for tying horses beside the corner gates.

It's no wonder that you can only see red bricks and green tiles along the way, and it's all this house.

Bai Liyao didn't show up all the way, he just sat in the car and made a rough estimate of the size of the house, probably [-] acres of land.

Lu Jinyan looked at this house, dumbfounded, he really didn't know what to say to the Ninth Prince, he sold such a big house for 500 taels to himself?

Everyone in the Lu residence got off their horses and stood there in a daze.

Lu Zhiting is honest and loyal, but still feels that this advantage cannot be taken advantage of. Just as he was about to go forward to reject the kindness of the Ninth Prince, he heard a soft voice from his own younger sister: "I like this Xifu crabapple tree very much!"

Qiqi raised his head and looked towards the top of the red wall, and sure enough, he saw clusters of beautiful and fragrant small flower buds protruding from the wall. The petals were slightly redder than apricot blossoms, and more pink than peach blossoms. watching them.

The soft vines are facing the wind, and the hanging flowers are graceful. At first glance, it really feels like a fairyland.

Occasionally, two or three petals rolled down from the crabapple tree, brushing the beauty's fragrant cheeks and jade face lightly, the scenery was even more beautiful in Ying Su's eyes.

Everyone appreciates flowers, but he rewards others.

Lu Ziyu withdrew his pair of beautiful eyes looking at the crabapple tree, and glanced at the pair of men who were usually indifferent to him.

With just one glance, she clearly saw something strange in the man's dark eyes.

Although it was fleeting, it was not caught by her.

Lu Ziyu couldn't help laughing, she knew her appearance, how could a man not be tempted by it?
As long as it's not a lukewarm ice hole, there are plenty of ways for her to erode his heart.

Raising the Lingyun Embroidered Flying Crane Fan that she was holding on to, she lightly covered her vermilion lips, leaving only her affectionate pupils outside.

With her coquettish appearance, she has learned ten times ten of the kung fu taught by Lady Fengxian.

"How come this Xifu crabapple blooms so beautifully in April?" Lu Ziyu put down the round fan in his hand, and looked at the calm man in front of him with a smile on his face.

With a soft voice, he also drew everyone's attention back.

Although her heart was disturbed by being hooked, Yingsu still said without changing her face: "There is a hot spring in this mansion."

Hot spring eye?That is a gift from heaven and earth, and this advantage cannot be taken advantage of.

The three men in the Lu family were anxious to figure out how to refuse, but Shen Lan and Lu Ziyu were satisfied with everything about the house.

Hot springs are of great help to women's skin care. If some herbs can be added to make a medicinal bath, it will definitely have an extraordinary effect.

Without leaving a way for the three men who were racking their brains to find a way out, Lu Ziyu pushed open the front door, bowed slightly towards Ying Su, and walked in first.

Shen Lan also hurriedly thanked the nine princes, and urged all the women and maids to take some salutes and go in first to clean up.

This time, it was the turn of the three men in the Lu Mansion who were in a mess, not knowing what to do, with embarrassment on their faces and pushing each other.

In the end, Lu Zhichen was used to talking in business, so he insisted on adding another 500 taels to the Ninth Prince before he could let it go.

Lu Jinyan and Lu Zhiting were filled with admiration. Obviously, if they didn't have 500 taels of silver, they couldn't buy it, so he only added [-] taels when he opened his mouth. How can he say such a shameless thing?

The two just wanted to find a seam in the ground and get in quickly, so as not to be ashamed standing next to the monkey!
Ying Su smiled and didn't say much, but ordered Fu Yun to take the bank note, get on the horse and bid farewell to Lu Jinyan and the others.

The horseshoe took a few steps, then turned back.

"Grandpa, let's go and settle it first. Someone will come to the door after dinner, and then you can add more servants to the mansion." Ying Su didn't get off the horse, and gave a hasty explanation before leaving with the people.

Seeing that the people and horses had turned several turns and they were all out of sight, the three of them dared to pack up their things and enter the main entrance.

Entering through the main entrance, you can see an inland river about a hundred feet long, which is inverted into the shape of "ji". The Xifu crabapple is planted along the two sides of the river. It is spring, and the crabapple tree is in full bloom. It seems that it has just been repaired, and it is lush and umbrella-shaped.

There are several beautifully carved small bridges hanging on the river, and several curved water corridors built in the river. In this weekday's spare time, you can also hold a banquet with flowing cups.

Enjoying flowers and drinking wine is a joy.

There are two spacious main courtyards on both sides of the river. The main courtyard also has a main courtyard, a side courtyard, a suite courtyard, and a cross courtyard, all of which are beautifully repaired and have different styles.

Going around the river and walking towards the back, there are many different shapes of artificial rocks with wide bamboo ditches made of ditches, and the springs inside are surging. From time to time, three or two koi can be seen flicking their tails and splashing water.

Some green bamboos are planted beside the rockery, and some are clustered with peonies and peonies. In short, no matter where you go, you can see the fun.

The three of Lu's father and brother walked along the gazebo, thinking that if they saw the Ninth Prince next time, they would have to make up some more money, otherwise they would have to live in their crotches with such shamelessness in the future.

After walking for a while, everyone was panting a little, and it seemed that they had reached the main hall.

Shen Lan's mother and daughter are already very busy, thinking about how to arrange the yard.

What living things to buy, where to put them to breed, and the living quarters of the master and servants were all arranged, so I ordered the servant girl to go to the kitchen to light the fire.

After a hasty lunch, Danzhi came to report that Ren Yazi was waiting at the door with a group of servants and maidservants.

Lu Ziyu accompanied Shen Lan to the front hall to have a look, and saw a huge group of people wearing similar satin clothes, hanging their heads and holding their breath, their manners were very good, as if they had been carefully trained.

A dozen or so young servants who looked simple in temperament and quick in work were selected, and some maidservants with good looks and some skills were selected to be added to the mansion. For a while, the huge courtyard became more humane.
