Chapter 136 The Protector’s Mansion

As time spread, Yang Mu and his party were gradually approaching the capital.

During this period, Yang Mu recognized all the maids and stewards sent to him by the Duke's Mansion.

Through the information she got from Yingtao, Mrs. Bao analyzed this group of people, including people sent by the Duke's wife Chen, people sent by the crown prince's wife Tang, and Yang Yu's biological mother - the second wife Sheng.

People who come.

In short, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and the forces are chaotic.

One early morning in late May, Yang Mu's motorcade entered the city gate of the capital.

The capital is divided into the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city.

The outer city is mostly occupied by common people and merchants, the inner city is mostly occupied by dignitaries, and the imperial city is where the residences and palaces of the emperor's relatives are located.

Yang Mu opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the streets of the capital with people coming and going. He sighed secretly. Sure enough, the people in the capital were richer and the clothes of the people were much better than those in Baiyun County.

More than an hour later, the carriage passed another city gate and entered the inner city.

In the inner city, pedestrians on the streets are more brightly dressed, with silks and satins everywhere.

After walking for more than half an hour, the carriage stopped at the foot of the Imperial City.

Qiuqiu has long been impatient. Ever since he ate less and less bamboo, and yesterday’s ones were completely gone, he kept getting into trouble.

Either he sticks his butt out and climbs the bookshelf in the carriage, or he chews the food box into wooden slag.

Now when I saw the carriage stopped, I couldn't wait to get out.

Hei Da Ya suffered from motion sickness and vomited all the way to the capital, completely hopeless.

Yang Mu held Hei Da Ya in one hand and grabbed the infinitely rolling ball with the other.

Mother Guo opened the curtain at this moment and said with a smile: "Second Miss, please get out of the car, we are here."

Yang Mu got out of the car holding Hei Da Ya in one hand and Qiuqiu in the other.

Looking up, I saw a majestic building. On the three-door vermilion door, hung a large plaque - "Guo Guogong Mansion".

Yang Yu also got out of the car, and when he saw Yang Mu's appearance, his face was full of disdain.

Whose daughter raises dogs and feeds ferocious beasts? A country girl is a country girl! Even wearing silk and satin cannot change the earthy smell!

Lin Xiao led the horse over, took Hei Da Ya and handed it to Lu Shan, who was already gearing up behind him, and said to Yang Mu, "I will follow you into the mansion."

How he found Yang Mu must be explained to the Duke Protector's Office.

Yang Mu felt warm in her heart. Even without his company, she dared to face family members she had never met before in this big house.

However, with his company, she will feel more at ease.

Yang was about to ride a big horse on the road to Shitou, and he was now in Mu Chen's arms. He stretched out his hand and asked his sister to hug him.

Yang Mu had no choice but to take him from Mu Chen's arms and throw the ball to Mu Chen.

Guo's mother smiled and led Yang Mu and Lin Xiao up the steps and said, "The middle door is only open for weddings and funerals. It is not open on weekdays."

What she didn't say was that except for these special days, when royal people come to the mansion, the middle door can also be opened. It's just that the identities of the few people in front of her are not high enough to open the middle door.

While Guo's mother was talking, several young men and women were already coming out of the door to welcome her. Yang Yu took the lead and entered the house through the open side door.

After returning home, he would no longer estimate Lin Xiao's identity as the heir apparent.

Yang Mu and Lin Xiao followed closely behind and also entered the house.

A young boy with quick legs had already run back to report to the master that his party had arrived at the house.

Yang Fu, the first protector of the country, was Yang Mu's great-grandfather. He was a hero who followed Emperor Shunwu to quell the rebellion. Emperor Shunwu originally wanted to reward Yang Fu with a yard, and he had to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to pick one.

Yang Fu looked through the houses under the name of the Ministry of Revenue, and finally gave up on several small courtyards in the imperial city and chose the largest courtyard under the imperial city as his palace.

The Lord Protector's Mansion is divided into two parts, the front and rear. The front yard is mainly used by the male master of the family. The back yard is where the family members live and where the female members of the family live.

Because Lin Xiao, an outsider, was present, everyone was first led to the main hall in the front yard to sit down.

Well-dressed maids and servants came to serve tea.

Qiuqiu was not happy to be held, so he twisted his butt and went down to the ground, looking east and west, sniffing, looking for something to eat.

Hei Da Ya was also trying hard to break away from Lu Shan's embrace, but unfortunately he was unsuccessful. In the end, he lay helpless in Lu Shan's huge embrace with empty eyes.

After waiting for a while, while Qiuqiu was eating his second apple, a middle-aged man came in with a smile, bowed his hands to Lin Xiao and said, "Prince Lin, you are here!"

The middle-aged man was wearing a dark green robe. Because he was too fat, the clothes could hardly cover his overflowing fat.

Lin Xiao stood up and saluted slightly: "Uncle Yang Shi, I don't dare to take this seriously." Although his words were polite, his attitude was a bit perfunctory.

Yang Mo knew clearly that today was the day for Yang Mu to go home, but he didn't even look at Yang Mu. He even ignored his niece and just invited Lin Xiao to drink tea.

Yang Shitou's big eyes flickered and he asked Yang Mu in a low voice: "Sister, who is this?"

Yang Mu whispered in Yang Shitou's ear: "He is my sister's uncle."

When he was far away in Baiyun County, Yang Mu had already memorized the relationship diagram of the Protector's Mansion. When he saw the middle-aged man's puff-like figure, and when Lin Xiao called him "Uncle Shi", he knew

, the person in front of her is her uncle, Yang Mo.

Yang Shitou didn't understand, "He ignored my sister."

Yang Mu scratched his brother's nose in a funny way and said, "Would you like some cakes?"

There were two plates of pastries on the table next to them, which smelled delicious.

Yang Shitou seemed to know that this was not a casual place for him. He swallowed his saliva, shook his head slightly and said, "I won't eat the stone."

Yang Mu took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to him and said, "Try it and see if it's better the one made by my sister or this one."

Yang Shitou couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. He slowly reached out to take the cake and ate it in small bites. He looked cautious.

Yang Mu felt heartbroken when she saw it. Such a young child was so sensitive to the surrounding environment, which showed how much grievance and hurt he suffered when he was a child.

Lin Xiao took a sip of tea and asked, "I wonder if the Duke and the Crown Prince are in the house?"

Yang Mo said: "I was called to the palace by His Majesty."

Lin Xiao tilted his head and glanced at Yang Mu, and said, "In that case, I should pay my respects to the Duke's wife, so that I can explain how I discovered the second young lady in the house."

The smile on Yang Mo's fat face paused slightly, knowing that this was Lin Xiao's dissatisfaction with his attitude of turning a blind eye to his niece, but he immediately smiled again and said, "I haven't thanked Prince Lin for caring so much about the Yang family."

Lin Xiao smiled lightly and said "I don't dare take it", then stood up and was about to go to the backyard.

Yang Mo had no choice but to wink at a senior attendant behind him. The senior attendant immediately walked away quickly and reported.

Yang Mo still ignored Yang Mu, stood up, and led everyone through the main hall and towards the backyard.

Everyone passed through a black door and entered the backyard.
