The wife of a peasant girl is a little sweet

Chapter 242 Grandma Liu Entered the Grand View Garden
Relying on old man Chen's memory and the guidance of passers-by, they finally found the Prime Minister's Mansion before dark.

Su Wan parked the carriage on the opposite side of the street, and looked at the imposing plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion from a distance, and the row of wind lanterns, illuminating the gate brightly.

"Father and mother, let's go there." Su Wan took a deep breath and said.

Old man Chen and Mrs. He also stared blankly at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, with expressions of emotion on their faces. After a long time, they nodded and said, "Let's go."

The three got out of the carriage, crossed the street, and arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Su Wan stepped up the steps and reached out to knock on the door, but was stopped by old man Chen.

"Wanwan, we can't go through the main entrance, let's go to the side entrance." Old man Chen waved to Su Wan and walked aside.

"Father, why can't you go through the main entrance?" Su Wan followed and asked.

"People of our status can't go through the main entrance. Only people with higher positions than the prime minister or about the same can go through the main entrance." Old man Chen explained as he walked.

Su Wan nodded. The ancient hierarchical system was really strict, so she should do as the Romans do.

Old man Chen and Mrs. He brought Su Wan to a corner door. Old man Chen stood in front of the door, took several deep breaths, and then mustered up the courage to knock on the door.

"Who is it?" After a while, there was a lazy voice from inside, and then the door opened with a "squeak", and a young servant's face poked out from inside.

The boy looked Su Wan and the three of them up and down and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The old man Chen said with a smile: "This little brother, you have worked hard. I wonder if Butler Li is here?"

"Are you looking for Steward Li? Who are you?" The boy looked at Old Man Chen once again.

"I'm a distant relative of his, and I'm here in Bianjing on business, so I stopped by to see him." Old man Chen felt a little lucky at this moment, but the one who opened the door was a young man who didn't recognize him. If you recognize it, I'm afraid this matter will become a big deal.

The boy frowned and said, "I haven't heard that Steward Li has any distant relatives? Where is your hometown?"

"I'm from the same hometown as Steward Li. It's Yongzhi County, Yushuwa. Steward Li is so respectable and honorable now, he doesn't talk about distant relatives on weekdays, does he? Please help me, brother." Pass it on." Old man Chen chuckled, took out a piece of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the boy's hand.

The young man put his hands into his cuffs and laughed: "The old man said the same thing, then you wait a moment, I will report."

"There is work, there is work." Old man Chen nodded repeatedly.

The boy closed the corner door again and went to help find someone.

Old man Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked back to Su Wan and explained softly: "This Steward Li and I had a good relationship before, and we had a few drinks together, let's find out with him first, or else we will rush to see the Prime Minister, we It’s definitely not going to be seen.”

Su Wan nodded and said, "Well, Dad is still considerate, everything is up to you."

Su Wan is now very glad that old man Chen and Mrs. He are able to follow. When it comes to dealing with people from such a wealthy family, they still have experience.

"I didn't expect Li De to be really capable. After so many years, he can still sit firmly in the seat of the housekeeper of the prime minister's mansion." The He family next to him couldn't help but admired in a low voice.

Old man Chen glanced at her and said, "It's also thanks to him sitting still, otherwise our lie today would be seen through at a glance?"

"Well, yes." He nodded and said nothing.

After another cup of tea, the corner door opened again with a "squeak", and the young man stuck his head out and said, "It just so happens that Steward Li is free, let me take you in and meet him."

"Oh, that's really great, thank you, little brother." Old man Chen was overjoyed, and he cupped his hands at the young man, then led He Shi and Su Wan into the corner gate, and followed the young man forward.

The young man reminded him as he walked: "This prime minister's mansion is not an ordinary place, you just follow me with your heads down, don't look around, don't talk too much, or you will run into that noble master, and Steward Li will also protect you." Not you."

"Yes, thank you, little brother, for your suggestion." Old man Chen agreed in a low voice, bowing his head and following behind.

Su Wan walked at the end. Although she lowered her head, her eyes were not idle, and she kept looking around quietly.

Although it was getting dark now, the Prime Minister's Mansion was brightly lit everywhere. Along the way, there were rockery and flowers, pavilions, winding paths and corridors, and there were beautiful scenery everywhere.

The maids and servants shuttled back and forth, each performing their duties, holding their voices and holding their breath, and walked silently. When they saw these strangers coming in, they all squinted, not at all curious to wait and see, just as if they didn't exist.

Su Wan couldn't help sighing secretly, this big family is different, regardless of whether they are rich or not, the servant's bearing and manners are not comparable to ordinary people.

Although she is a new human being from modern times, she should have more knowledge than these people, but walking in the prime minister's mansion now, it gave her the feeling that Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

After walking for about a stick of incense, the boy finally stopped at the gate of a yard and shouted inside: "Housekeeper Li, I brought you here."

"Come in." A faint voice came from inside.

"Yes." The boy responded, stretched out his hand and pushed open the courtyard door, waved at old man Chen and the others and said, "Go in."

"Thank you, brother." Old man Chen turned to the boy again, and led Su Wan and the others into the yard.

The boy didn't follow in, but closed the door from behind, presumably leaving.

Su Wan followed old man Chen and Mrs. He, and looked around the yard quietly. The yard is not big, but it is exquisite. The man is sitting at the table pouring himself a drink.

Hearing the movement, he raised his head and glanced at the three of Su Wan, then lowered his head to pick up the vegetables, and asked casually: "Which family of mine are you from? Why can't I remember?" ?”

"Butler Li, it's me, Chen Qingshan." Old man Chen took two steps forward and spoke in a low voice.

Su Wan froze for a moment, it turned out that old man Chen's name was Chen Qingshan.

Butler Li paused his hand holding the food, suddenly raised his head to look at old man Chen, and asked a little stammeringly, "You, who do you say you are?"

"It's me, Chen Qingshan." Old man Chen said again.

"Crack!" The chopsticks in Butler Li's hand fell to the ground, and he didn't bother to pick them up. He hurriedly got up and came to Old Man Chen, looked him up and down carefully, and the expression on his face kept changing. changing.

"You, why are you back?" Steward Li suddenly took a few steps back, pointed at old man Chen and asked with disbelief.

"And me, I'm back too." Shi He took two steps forward and said in a low voice.

"He, he... you, you..." Butler Li's face became even uglier, pointing at the two of them, speechless.

Suddenly, his eyes turned to Su Wan who had been standing aside without making a sound, and said tremblingly: "Then he, he is..."
