There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 500 Chapter 0500
This Mrs. Zhuang has mentioned Mrs. Hengyang to her for the third time.

Li Jiaoniang didn't want to be interested, so she couldn't.

Out of curiosity, she asked together, "Miss Zhuang, what kind of person is that Mrs. Hengyang you mentioned?"

"You really don't know?" Mrs. Zhuang asked in surprise.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and shook her head, "I still heard you mention it, I've never heard of it before."

Zhao Cong said at this time, "I know her. I have also been to her house for dinner. I went there with my elder brother in the first month of last year."

Li Jiaoniang turned her head and quickly asked, "Cong'er, what kind of person is that?"

Zhao Cong said, "Her husband is the Duke of Hengyang, a family member of the Zhao family. In terms of seniority, I call Duke Hengyang an uncle."

"..."

"However, Mr. Hengyang has been ill in bed for many years, and everyone has no impression of Mr. Hengyang. Mrs. Hengyang often goes to and from Lin'an City."

Mrs. Zhuang said, "Mrs. Hengyang has a daughter who is the same age as Mrs. Li. It is said that she disappeared many years ago. So when I see Mrs. Li, I always suspect that it is Mrs. Hengyang's daughter."

Li Jiaoniang said with a smile, "There are many good-looking people in this world. I can't be that lady's daughter. In my memory, I don't have any impression of Lin'an or the surname Zhao."

Mrs. Zhuang smiled embarrassedly, "Maybe I was overthinking it, Mrs. Li, please don't blame me."

Li Jiaoniang smiled generously, "It's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding. By the way, Mrs. Zhuang, let's come to the inn to rest, are you too?"

Mrs. Zhuang nodded, "Yes, I will go to the inn to eat something, and then I will go to Lin'an City on my way."

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "It's a coincidence, let's go together?"

Mrs. Zhuang also wanted to have a companion, so she immediately smiled and said, "Very good, I can't ask for it."

Mrs. Zhuang's maid and a nanny came over, saluted Li Jiaoniang and Zhao Cong, and went to the first floor of the inn.

The first floor is also a tavern, with about a dozen tables, half of which are occupied by guests who are eating wine.

Mrs. Zhuang, master and servant, ordered two tables.

Luo Cheng arranged the chariots and horses, and walked into the main hall.

Li Jiaoniang looked at Mrs. Zhuang, and said to Luo Cheng, "Brother Luo Cheng, Mrs. Zhuang is on the same road with us, and we will enter Lin'an City together in a while."

Mrs. Zhuang smiled slightly at Luo Cheng, "I'm bothering you."

Luo Cheng only slightly nodded his head, which was regarded as a greeting.

Luo Cheng and Li Jiaoniang ordered a table of food and wine, and the two parties sat next to each other, eating and talking about the road and road conditions.

With Mrs. Zhuang and her party present, Zhao Cong stopped talking about going to Qingshan Temple and told Li Jiaoniang that he would go to see it another day.

Not knowing what the situation in the city was like, Li Jiaoniang was worried, so she didn't force her.

After everyone had a good meal and rested for a while, they got into the carriages again and headed for Lin'an City.

Twenty miles away, the road conditions were flat, and in less than half an hour, they arrived at the South City Gate.

After all, it is a temporary capital, and its prosperity is even better than that of Yuezhou City.

At the gate of the city in the evening, there were still cars, horses and sedan chairs coming and going, and pedestrians carrying baskets on foot.

Xu is the New Year's Eve, and the soldiers at the gate of the city are very strict in checking the passers-by.

Regardless of whether it is a sedan chair, a carriage or a horse, whether it belongs to the poor or the rich, all the doors of the sedan chair or carriage should be opened to check for knives and weapons.

When it comes to Li Jiaoniang, it is no exception.

The soldiers at the city gate shouted at the carriage, "Those inside, lift up the curtain yourself!"

Luo Cheng picked up the curtain, and looked at the soldiers at the city gate faintly.

"What are you doing, where did you come from?" A big city gate soldier asked in a rough voice.

"From Chuzhou, my family bought a house in Lin'an City, and we came to see the house." Luo Cheng said in the Chuzhou dialect calmly.

"Where is the house?"

"Niaoyi Lane, No. 88."

"Let's go." Hearing Bird Clothes Lane, the city gate soldiers immediately moved away and walked to the carriage behind.

In the carriage behind, sat Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong took the initiative to pick up the curtain.

Seeing his face, the city gate guards were slightly taken aback, and after blinking, they asked as usual, "Where are you from? What do you do in Lin'an?"

"People from Lin'an, go home." He spoke in pure Lin'an official dialect.

The city gate soldier didn't ask much, "Let's go."

Then I asked Mrs. Zhuang and her party who were walking behind, and found that they were all female relatives. They didn't find any murder weapons such as knives, so they let them go immediately.

Four carriages entered the city gate and entered the avenue in the city.

By this time, it was already dark.

The shops on both sides of the street were all lit with lights, as bright as day.

The streets are full of people.

The bustling sound was very lively.

Li Jiaoniang felt that she had walked into the Qingming Riverside Picture.

Mrs. Zhuang, who was walking behind, ordered the carriage to hurry up a few steps, and walked side by side with Li Jiaoniang's carriage.

She picked up the curtain and said to Li Jiaoniang's carriage, "Miss Li, let's leave now. I will invite you again another day. I live in Liuye Lane Mansion. By the way, Miss Li, where do you live?"

"Niaoyi Lane, No. 88, Li's House." Li Jiaoniang waved her hand and smiled back.

Mrs. Zhuang also waved to her, let the carriage drive to a corner, and left.

Juan, who was driving the car, asked, "Master, where are we going now?"

Li Jiaoniang said, "Go to the house, Bird Clothes Lane." She spread out a map, searched for the location of Bird Clothes Lane, and when she found it, handed it to Juan, "Follow, we are here now, This is Wuyi Lane, find No. 88."

She pointed to the south gate where the carriage was now, and said.

The map was drawn by Zhao Cong, a little hairy kid, very clear.

Where there is a tree, a well, and a shop selling buns, he has drawn them in detail.

Li Jiaoniang really admired his memory.

Juan squeezed it in his hand with a smile, "Understood, Master."

It's easy to find a place with a picture.

Juan drove the car according to the map, and soon arrived at No. 88 of Bird Clothes Lane.

This is an ordinary small house with blue tiles and white walls.

The red paint on the door was freshly painted, bright and beautiful.

There are two large copper rings hanging from one left and one right.

Under the eaves, there are two bright red lanterns hanging.

One side says "Li's House" and the other side says "Fu Zhi".

Hu An smiled and said, "Master, this is here, look, Li's house."

Li Jiaoniang smiled, "Get out of the car, let's go in and have a look."

Everyone got out of the car.

Huzi said happily, "I'll knock on the door." He stepped forward and thumped on the door.

After a while, a man's voice behind the door asked, "Who is it?"

"But the house of the Li family in Chuzhou?" Li Jiaoniang asked.

The house door creaked and opened.

A middle-aged man in his thirties and 40s looked at Li Jiaoniang and her group, nodded and said, "Yes, who are you looking for?"

"I'm not looking for anyone, I'll take a look at the house my father left me." Li Jiaoniang said, and then walked into the house.

The middle-aged man was surprised, and hurried to chase Li Jiaoniang, "Who are you? Have you gone to the wrong place? Our young master is only 28 years old. Where can we get a daughter as old as you? Get out."

As he spoke, he unceremoniously pulled Li Jiaoniang's arm.

Luo Cheng stepped forward, pulled him away with a wave of his sleeves, and asked in a cold voice, "Your son? What's your name?"

Li Jiaoniang turned her head, squinted her eyes, and looked at the servant, "Is your name Li Chang?"

The middle-aged man was surprised, "You recognize our young master? Who are you?"

Li Jiaoniang suddenly understood.

She smiled, "This is really Nestle Jiuzhan, who actually asked who I am? I am the owner of this house, and my name is Li Jiaoniang! Why, I can't come in?"

Li Jiaoniang, fifth girl?
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, but he still said bluntly, "The owner of this house is obviously our son, why did he become yours? Miss Wu, I think you should go out, lest the master personally come and bombard you Let's go, everyone is not looking good."

"I see which of you dare to bombard her!" Zhao Cong sneered.

The middle-aged man didn't recognize Zhao Cong, and he was even more rude when he saw that he was young.

He shouted loudly, "Qingzi, someone is making trouble, drive them away!"

A big man, Ding Huyuan, ran over, holding the door latch, and looked fiercely at Li Jiaoniang, Luo Cheng, and Zhao Cong, "Break into a private house, do you want to eat a stick?"

Hu Zi Hu An at the door heard the noise in the house, so he hurried in to have a look.

"Ah, two more!"

"Boom away, boom away."

The middle-aged man and the big servant, one holding a broom and the other holding a door bolt, rushed towards Li Jiaoniang and the others together.

Luo Cheng held Li Jiaoniang in his arms, and Hu Zi and Juan protected each other back to back.

Zhao Cong kicked and kicked the two servants of the Li family to the ground.

He sneered and said, "Is there anyone else? Come up together!"

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he lifted his robe and quickly ran into the house, shouting loudly as he ran, "My lord, my lord!"

The other servant got up and ran, hiding far away, not daring to go forward.

"Wow, little Cong, that's amazing." Hu Zi and Hu An gave Zhao Cong a thumbs up.

Luo Cheng said, "Hu Zi, Juan, we will naturally deal with the matters in the house. You go outside and guard the carriage, so don't let anyone steal the things on the carriage."

Hu Zi snorted, "Yes, yes, you have to guard the carriage. If you don't know the place, it will be troublesome if you lose something."

"After I get rid of the people who dominate my house, you can move things in." Li Jiaoniang said.

"Understood, Master." Juan said.

The two walked over and continued to guard the carriage.

Zhao Cong looked around, "Father, mother, who is the person who occupies this house?"

Li Jiaoniang sneered, "The second son of the Li family, Li Chang!"

Luo Cheng said coldly, "They are really greedy!"

Zhao Cong raised his eyebrows lightly, "Don't worry, mother, I will help you drive them away!"

Li Jiaoniang smiled knowingly, "Okay, I know Cong'er is the most filial."

.

The middle-aged man was a distant relative brought by Li Chang from the Li family, who took care of the house for him.

At this moment, Li Changzheng was chatting with his wife and children over tea and fruits in the backyard. He heard noises in the front yard. He just stood up to check, when the housekeeper came running.

"Li Erfu, what's going on up front?" Li Chang asked angrily, "What are you arguing about? Do you want to be punished for the New Year's Eve?"
