Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 217 Arrive in the capital
In the east, the morning star rose high, and the morning glow illuminated the sky. Mu Qingwan's motorcade from Prince Wei's Mansion arrived at the city gate smoothly.Mu Qingwan raised the corner of the car curtain, looked forward with the reflection of the lanterns in front of the car, and saw that the person getting out of the car was Wei Feng, who was said to be the most popular butler of Prince Wei's Mansion at present, and he took off a piece from his waist. After passing the sign to the soldiers guarding the city gate, the city gate opened to both sides.

Kang Jingru lay beside her, looked out together, and told her quietly: "This is the north gate. I heard my mother and your mother asked the matchmaker about it. Let's go in through the north gate and live not far from the city gate." The place."

"Then where is Prince Wei's Mansion?" Mu Qingwan couldn't help but feel ashamed when she heard Kang Jingru's words. She, the person involved, didn't know anything about things that were clear to bystanders, but it also shows how much she cares about this marriage. It doesn't matter.

Kang Jingru raised her hand, pointed towards the distance, and said, "The Prince Wei's Mansion is to the south, on the other side of the capital. It is said that the residences of the dignitaries are all in that alley."

Mu Qingwan was a little surprised: "Then the house we're temporarily staying in is so far away from Prince Wei's Mansion?" The capital is no different than Yangxing County. It takes some time to walk from the south gate to the north gate, right?

Kang Jingru nodded, and said: "They deliberately arranged this way, so that the sedan chair would not have to enter the Prince Wei's mansion just after leaving the house. Their plan is that the sedan chair and dowry have to pass through the entire capital."

There are also wedding parades in Yangxing County, and Mu Qingwan understands this very well, so she didn't say anything, and focused on looking at the capital.

At this time, the sky has become brighter, and although the surrounding scenery is still unclear, it is still possible to see clearly.Compared with Yangxing County, the buildings in the capital are much taller. The majestic city towers, tall archways, and wide streets finally gave Mu Qingwan a feeling of entering the city.On both sides of the road made of big stones, trees were neatly planted, but because it was early winter, the trees were bare.

Not long after the carriage got on the avenue, it turned into an alley, but Mu Qingwan still took advantage of the gap between the U-turn of the carriage and saw that going forward along the avenue, there were shops with various signboards on both sides. Open the door, but countless brightly colored covers have already fluttered in the wind.

The alley is very long and wide, but it seems that there is only one house in it. The house looks small, but the gate is quite wide. After the boys removed the threshold, the carriage went straight into the gate and stopped in front of the hanging flower gate. .

Regardless of Li Yueniang's dissuasion, Kang Jingru kept raising the corner of the car curtain and peeked out. Before getting out of the car, she clung to Mu Qingwan's ear and whispered, "No one has ever lived in this house. It's not popular at all. No, but the arrangement is quite exquisite, those flowers and plants, you can never buy them back without spending a lot of money, and you have to hire someone to take care of them."

She is a newlywed, and it is very normal for her to live in a new house. Mu Qingwan didn't care. After she got out of the car, she paid special attention to the flowers, plants and trees in the yard. She saw that they were colorful and very lovely. In winter, there are so many flowers blooming, it is absolutely impossible to do without expensive greenhouses.Unexpectedly, Prince Wei's Mansion would be willing to pay such a high price for just one other courtyard.

In front of the Chuihua Gate, there were a group of servants waiting. When they saw the carriage stop, they immediately came up to greet her. One of the older mothers came up to help Mu Qingwan, and said: "Miss San, you have worked hard all the way, go in and rest soon. I will ask them to kowtow to the third girl."

"I don't know what to call mother?" Mu Qingwan nodded, greeted Li Yueniang and Kang Jingru, and followed her in.

The mother said: "Back to the third girl, the servant's surname is Chen."

"Mother Chen." Mu Qingwan called her and said, "We are newcomers and don't understand the rules of Prince Wei's Mansion. If there is something wrong, I hope mother will remind me more."

Seeing her being so humble, Chen's mother looked quite surprised. She raised her head and glanced at her before replying: "Third Miss is serious."

While talking, they had already walked along the verandah to the small door along the wall. It turned out that this was a courtyard with three entrances, and the one where Mu Qingwan and the others were going to live was the last entrance.

The courtyard is full of fragrant flowers, which are very eye-catching in this severe winter day. People can see it and feel better for no reason.Mu Qingwan was quite satisfied with this residence, and followed Mother Chen's footsteps to the main room and entered the house.

The layout of the houses in this era is almost exactly the same. The three-bay house, one is bright and the other is dark, with side rooms on the left and right, but the partitions in the house are different from those in Yangxing County. There is no screen partition, but a green screen kitchen. .

Mother Chen asked Mu Qingwan to sit up, and Li Yueniang and Kang Jingru took the chairs on the left.The maids brought fragrant tea, and Mother Chen took one of them and handed it to Mu Qingwan herself. She looked around and asked, "Third Miss, there are still some distinguished guests, why don't you see anyone?"

How many more?Does it mean Shi Tian bestowed them?As soon as they entered the city gate, Mu Qingwan sent them away, so naturally they couldn't see anyone.Mu Qingwan smiled slightly, and said to Chen's mother: "Mom may have misunderstood, they came with Liu Da and Liu Er from your mansion, and did not follow me into Beijing, so after entering the city, they separated from us."

"So that's how it is." Chen's mother said, "It must be that the slaves have misunderstood, don't blame the third girl."

"It doesn't matter." Mu Qingwan smiled and shook her head, then lowered her head and took a sip of tea.

While they were eating tea, Mother Chen called in all the maids who had greeted them at the Chuihua Gate, kowtowed to Mu Qingwan, and said, "I see that the third girl and the two honored guests brought their servants with them." People, we will not cause trouble for you, these people are all serving outside, if the girls have orders, just call them."

With such an arrangement, Mu Qingwan was very satisfied, and after asking Jinyu to distribute the rewards, she let them go down.

Kang Jingru was thinking about going shopping, so she kept giving Mu Qingwan winks. Mu Qingwan was thinking of finding some excuse to come out, but Mother Chen also saw Kang Jingru's small movements, and said proactively: "The three girls are driving too hard. , I must be tired too, so the servants will leave first, so as not to disturb the girls to rest." Then, he pointed to the two maids outside, and said to Li Yueniang and Kang Jingru: "If the two distinguished guests want to go back to the room, just go with them Said, they will take the two of them there."

She is really a clever and discerning mother. It seems that people who can live in the palace, even if they are just in other courtyards of the palace, have some skills.

Mu Qingwan was very satisfied again, she nodded to Mother Chen, asked Jinyu to give her the first-class seal, and let her go down.

As soon as Chen's mother left, Kang Jingru jumped up excitedly, went straight to Mu Qingwan, hugged her arm, and whispered hurriedly: "Sister Qingwan, let's go! Go shopping!"
