Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 95
Because the food in the car was looted by bandits, everyone set off on an empty stomach without even having breakfast.

Before setting off, Lu Yuancheng deliberately divided the guards into two groups, a group of 24 people, and accompanied him to escort Lu Xingwan and a dozen wounded people into Cangzhou City.The remaining 25 people were responsible for escorting the group of bandits back to their original place.

After he finished seeing off his sister, he turned back to look at the Tie Kuang, and thought about how to deal with these bandits by the way.

And judging from last night's interrogation, that Lord Peng will also come today, so he specifically asked the guards to hide as much as possible after entering the mountain, and take that Lord Peng down by surprise after he shows up.

The plain here is still about [-] miles away from Cangzhou City, and if you hurry up, you can get there in an hour.

But in order to take care of Miss Lu and the wounded, the convoy did not move fast, so it was already noon when they saw the gate of Cangzhou Mansion.

Cangzhou Prefecture is located on the border, and the folk customs are shining brightly. Wen Shu felt it as soon as he entered the city.Men and women walking on the street are all dressed in strong clothes, unlike Tokyo city, where people wear skirts all over the streets, and there are not restaurants and restaurants on both sides of the road, but martial arts halls and medical halls.

"My maternal ancestor's family name is Li, and it belongs to the second largest family in Cangzhou. The family's main business is martial arts and horses."

It seemed that she was about to meet her relatives, and Miss Lu, who was always quiet, was in a good mood and introduced her family to her, and she was even kind to the old lady of the Li family in her words.

It was only then that Wen Shu found out that Miss Lu had been fostered by her grandfather's house since she was a child, and she was not taken back to the Tokyo Hou Mansion until she was about to reach her age three years ago.

After entering the city for about a quarter of an hour, the carriage stopped in front of a vermilion gate. Wen Shu lifted the curtain curiously, and was immediately stunned.

so big!How much does it cost!
The house in front of me, no, it should be a courtyard to be precise, it is too big!
The walls surrounding the outside could not be seen to the bottom at a glance, and the houses and pavilions inside were scattered in height and height. Except for the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, Wen Shu had never seen such a large courtyard in Tokyo, even Weiyuanhoufu.

But after thinking about it, I realized that the city of Tokyo has a population of one million and the place is small, so every inch of land is expensive.However, the northwest border is sparsely populated, and the land is relatively cheap, and the Li family is a big family belonging to the second genus in this city, so it is not difficult to explain such a large courtyard.

Lu Yuancheng got off his horse and asked a servant to knock on the door, but after a while the door opened from the inside, and a man with the appearance of a housekeeper came out from the inside.

His hair was gray and his face was covered with wrinkles, but when he saw Lu Yuancheng standing outside the door leading a horse and the carriages behind him, he smiled like a flower: "Master Biao, Miss Biao!"

"Uncle Gong." Lu Yuancheng bent slightly, and then asked with a smile, "Are grandma and uncles at home?"

"Yes, yes, I have sent someone to pass the message." The steward smiled and ran down the steps, and then ordered the left and right: "Come on, please help the cousin to lead the horse and carriage to the back, the girl and the young master come in quickly." .”

Wen Shu got out of the carriage with Lu Xingwan, facing the high courtyard of the Li Mansion, sighed, and saw several people rushing out of the Zhu Hong gate.

Two middle-aged men in their forties and two noble ladies, accompanied by a group of boys and girls. The men were rough and their skin was a bit dark. Although the women were not dark, they were all of good stature. Long and tall.

"Oh, Qing'an and Wan'er are here! Come on! Come in, your grandmother is talking about it every day."

"I met my uncle and aunt." Lu Yuancheng and Lu Xingwan greeted at the same time.

"Oh, we're all one family. How could there be so much courtesy?" Li Chengjun, the eldest son of the Li family, patted Lu Yuancheng on the shoulder, smiled and looked at Lu Xingwan and said, "Why did you arrive two days earlier this year than in previous years? The same goes for your child, and you don't know how to send someone to send a letter back in advance, so we should make preparations early."

"It's because I came here in a hurry. It's because Wan'er said that I miss my grandmother. I just happened to have nothing to do and sent her here ahead of time."

The family greeted each other and entered the door, and Wen Shu followed silently, playing the role of a maid conscientiously, while secretly looking at the layout of the mansion.

"Grandmother, how are you doing recently? Is your body still healthy?"

"Hey!" Mentioning this, Li Chengjun, the eldest son of the Li family, sighed: "Your grandmother is getting older, and she suffered from cough more frequently last year. Had angina."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingwan became anxious immediately, "Where is the grandmother now, has she ever used medicine?"

"I have invited a famous doctor to take medicine, but I haven't seen much improvement. Last night, I coughed so much that I didn't sleep all night. It was difficult to fall asleep at lunch. I didn't tell her about you. I wanted to let her sleep more. a while."

"It's okay, grandma's health is important." Lu Yuancheng replied with a forced smile, but his heart was extremely heavy.

In the last life, my grandmother passed away on the fifth day of March, and now it is almost February
"You've been driving all the way, you're tired, I'll let the kitchen prepare dinner, you eat earlier, so you can rest earlier." Mrs. Li said.

Later, Wen Shu followed Lu Xingwan to the courtyard where she used to live, Jing Yuan.

The landscape courtyard is very large. In addition to the independent small kitchen, there are also many vacant rooms in the courtyard. Apart from the main room, there are more than a dozen vacant rooms.

Needless to say, Miss Lu lives in the main room. Nanny Chen and Yinhonglvliu sleep in the two side rooms next to her. Cook Wang occupies one room by herself, and her two cooking maids share one room. There are seven or eight houses left.

Seeing this, Wen Shu asked to sleep alone.

Lu Xingwan didn't really treat her as a maid at first, and after the bandit incident, he was even more grateful to her, and agreed without hesitation.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Li sent someone to say that Mrs. Li had woken up.

When Miss Lu heard this, she couldn't sit still, and immediately led Nanny Chen and the others.

Wen Shuzhui was at the back, wondering whether he should go or not. After hesitating for a moment, seeing that the eldest girl hadn't deliberately called her name, she simply shied away and didn't go out of the room.

Others just thought she was a little maid and didn't pay attention, but the remaining cook Wang glanced at her several times, as if she was a little surprised that she didn't keep up.But since the two of them didn't know each other well, they didn't ask any more questions, and led the two little maids to work in the kitchen.

After all the people dispersed, Wen Shu went back to the room and closed the door, then fell down on the bed with a "bang", and let out a long sigh of relief.

Huh, finally arrived in Cangzhou!

Although there were some thrills on the way, fortunately, all the dangers were saved. Counting the days, today is exactly No. 15 days, which is half a month, so should she talk to Mr. Lu tonight about the IOU?

Unexpectedly, after Miss Lu came back, she told her that Master Lu had left.

When asked where she had been, she only said that there was something urgent to deal with, and she would come back in two days, so that she could calm down and be in a hurry.

　The update is late, ask for a monthly ticket, ask for a recommendation ticket, and ask for a book list.
