There is a black lotus in the deep palace

Chapter 287 Yangzhou House

While walking along the way, inspect whether the embankment along the bank is strong or not, whether the people have suffered, whether there are corrupt officials, and whether there is any collusion between officials and businessmen to insult the people.

On the way from Huai'an to Yangzhou, they met several officials who were the parents of the fish and meat people.

When the group arrived at Yangzhou Mansion, it was already approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although it took a long time, there is no need to worry, there are people in the court who are in charge of their own government affairs, and other urgent matters have already been conveyed back and forth with urgent letters along the way, so it is not necessary to rush back.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in the south of the Yangtze River is still humid and hot, which is very different from the autumn wind in the capital. It seems that it is still summer here, the flowers are still gorgeous, the water is still rippling, and everything is exactly the same as in summer.

June in Beijing is about the same.

Tang Wanning rode a horse on the official road, looking at the buildings with white walls and gray tiles in Jiangnan Water Town, she just found it pleasing to the eye.

"Sure enough, it is a water town, and it is really different"

"I just don't know if this Yangzhou government is the same as other places, there will be one or two corrupt officials."

"Whether you will or not, let's go and see." Xia Houjue's face was indifferent, his eyes were distant and without any warmth, as if he was talking about a bunch of inanimate objects.

Tang Wanning gave him a sideways glance, and didn't bother to say much. She just looked at the pool of green drinking water in the distance, her eyes showing envy.

"Look at the smoke from the cooking on the small fishing boat. The fisherman's family must be cooking. The river is green, and the fish in it must be very plump. I really want to try it."

"Go to the city to settle down first, and I will take you there later."

"That's what you said!"

Tang Wanning joyfully rode her horse and headed for Yangzhou City. The city gate was in front of her eyes, and Xia Houjue let her go and walked behind her.

In the middle of the team there was a small green sedan chair, which was Dong Xianglan's sedan chair. Xia Houjue said that this is the master and not a slave, so the master will naturally sit in the sedan chair.

Li Dequan didn't know why, so he just regarded this as the future noble concubine, and specially told his little eunuchs to take care of this master along the way, so that he must not let him suffer any grievances.

So along the way, the four maidservants and the four little eunuchs kept guarding Dong Xianglan's sedan chair every step of the way.

If you don't know, I'm afraid there is a prisoner sitting in it.

Bi Yue glared at Li Dequan, then turned her head and complained to Bi Luo: "Looking at his smug face, do you really think that you've got a sweetheart? This is because you want to earn a career."

"Li Dequan is a smart man, but this time he was a little too smart. He thought the emperor was going to accept Miss Dong."

The people from Biluo didn't say much harsh words, and Biyue smiled coldly and didn't say anything more.

Dong Xianglan sat alone in the sedan chair and didn't speak, only occasionally secretly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair to look at the back of the most handsome and burly person in the group in front of her.

She stared at it for a few moments, and then secretly lowered the sedan chair curtain with a blushing face, her heart was as sweet as eating honey.

Since he said that he was also a victim like himself, her heart immediately softened.

When she learned that he had avenged his mother, the hatred in her heart had long since disappeared, leaving only gratitude.

Apart from her father in so many years, this is the first time anyone has treated her so well. He even let her recognize him as her elder brother. This friendship must be quite deep. While she was grateful, her heart was full of sweetness.

In fact, she has never seen such a good-looking person in such a big age.

He was like a great fairy, who suddenly appeared in front of him when she was at the most desperate time, and rescued her from fire and water.

Dong Xianglan's heart melted when she thought of how serious and grateful he and she were when they buried their father.

"You don't care who you are? You don't care what your status is. From now on, I will follow you. If you give me money, I will be yours. I will be yours in life and your ghost in death."

She was thinking shyly while stirring her handkerchief, when a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Miss Dong, Yangzhou City is coming, there is a short section of waterway after entering the city, you must sit still"

"Ok!"

Dong Xianglan nodded, feeling warm in her heart again, how caring he must be with so many people around her.

Although I don't know his identity, it shouldn't be too low. Even if he has a main room, then he can be a side room. If it doesn't work, he can be a bed warmer.

As long as she can stay by his side, she will do anything.

……

Yangzhou City is very large, lively and prosperous.

This kind of prosperity is different from the capital city. The capital city is a cloud of wealth and wealth, full of jewels, while Yangzhou is a piece of beautiful jade. Although it is not dazzling, it is delicate in texture, misty and rainy.

"It's so beautiful!" She looked at the new styles of clothing and jewelry, fine embroidery, freehand landscape paintings by scholars, and all kinds of snacks that she had never seen before, and her eyes were straightened. .

"It's exactly as I imagined." She happily jumped off the horse, threw the reins to the servants behind her, and walked forward carelessly by herself.

"It's so beautiful. Let's stay here for a while. It's so beautiful. We'll go back when it's cold."

Xia Houjue nodded: "It's only a month, so it's up to you, it's rare to come out."

"You are so kind!" Tang Wanning stared at him, if not on the street, she would have already kissed him.

Xia Houjue curled his lips into a faint smile and remained silent.

After a while, he took her hand and walked forward: "Let's find a place to live first."

"Isn't there another courtyard here? If you don't want to live in another courtyard, you can stay in an inn, but I really don't want to stay in an inn. It's better to be quiet. The inn is too noisy."

The most important thing is that the inn is all a room, everyone can see Dong Xianglan face to face without looking up, but there is no such trouble in other courtyards, everyone is not in the same courtyard at all.

"That's good." Xia Houjue directly hooked his lips into a smile, this little girl's jealousy is not over yet.

"It's almost there."

Tang Wanning glanced triumphantly at the green wool sedan chair, showing a victorious smile.

Alas, although she is quite hopeless, she is just happy ah hehe, what can I do, of course it is to please myself.

Dong Xianglan wrapped her fingers tightly in the green baize sedan chair, through the not-so-thick gauze curtain, she vaguely saw that smug smile, and her heart ached inexplicably.

Are you not humble enough?She didn't do anything, why madam is so hostile towards her.

Don't you want to accept yourself?
But she belongs to the young master, if the young master wants to accept his wife, he should not be able to say anything, especially recently I heard that the wife has married the young master and has not given birth to a child for several years.

Just like that, can he be so domineering?
The young master still dotes on her so much, why on earth is this?
