Chapter 141 Xin Mansion!
Step on...
The huge Xuanwu Street is made of marble on the ground. Although it is a bit bumpy, it is not uncomfortable to sit in the carriage.
The car Cao Chong is now riding, except for only one horse pulling the car, everything else is treated by Cao Cao.
To put it bluntly, it turned Cao Cao's three horses into one.
A strong horse pulls a cart, and such a large carriage is naturally a bit reluctant, but fortunately, Xin's mansion is not very far from the Prime Minister's Mansion. After more than ten minutes of bumpyness, a tall mansion stood on the right side of Xuanwu Road.
"Well~"
When the groom got out of the carriage, Cao Chong got off the carriage with Zhou Dufu's help, and also carried Xin Xianying down.
The door of Xin Mansion was empty, because Cao Chong did not say hello in advance.
"Xiu'er, go knock on the door!"
"Here!" Xiu'er blessed Xin Xianying slightly, lowered her head but did not dare to look directly at Cao Chong.
She took a small step up the steps, pulled the door knocker as thick as a thumb, and started knocking on the door!
Bang bang bang bang...
Bang bang bang bang...
After a little time, a sound finally came from inside!
"Who?"
Scream~
A small gap was split between two or three people at the gate, and a thief glanced out.
"The concierge, why don't you open the door!"
"Oh, Miss Xiu'er!" A surprise sound came out inside, and the doors were all opened directly.
"Isn't Miss Xiu'er in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why are you here today if you have time?"
The slave and the housewife do not have the same concept. The housewife cannot leave the house, but the maid does not have this taboo.
"I came here, of course I came with the lady!" Xiu'er looked like she had seen herself for the first time, and she was so angry. Thinking of that day, Cao Chong couldn't help but smile in his heart!
Miss?
When the doorman looked back, he saw a group of people. The leader was a pretty boy, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old. In the second step, a woman stood up.
The woman put on light makeup and the hair on her head was wrapped around, indicating that she was already a wife.
The concierge naturally saw Xin Xianying, so after taking a look, he moved his gaze and bowed to the young man in front of him.
"The son-in-law is here, and the villain has no idea about Mount Tai!"
Cao Chong waved his hand and said indifferently: "No, I just came here casually. You don't need to notify your father-in-law and your brother. I am still familiar with this mansion!"
The doorman's eyes flashed a few times, but he still kowtowed his head honestly.
"Here!"
Cao Chong nodded and entered the mansion with Xin Xianying and Zhou's only husband Long Zhi.
The flowers are fragrant and the birds are singing in a delicate manner. During this period, I can hear some sound of spring water gurgling.
Cao Chong turned his head to Xin Xianying and asked with a smile: "At such a time, should my father-in-law and my brother be there?"
Xin Xianying thought for a moment before saying, "Today is a day of vacation. My father usually lives in the mansion. My brother may not be able to see it because he is working on a job at Shangshutai recently!"
Cao Chong nodded and continued walking as if nothing had happened.
This so-called holiday is similar to the weekends in later generations.
The Han Dynasty vacation system was mainly divided into two categories, one was menstrual period; the other was seasonal period.
The Han Law records that officials can take a bath every five days, which is called "rest", which means rest and bathing. Because the Han Dynasty court required officials at all levels to concentrate on office work, food and accommodation in the government office, and there was no special order, and they were not allowed to go home normally. Only when they were "rest", they could take a bath, change clothes, go home to reunite, clean up, or visit relatives and friends, so it was also called "five-day break".
Officials of the Han Dynasty also enjoy various festival leave, such as the winter solstice, summer solstice, and Spring Festival. In addition, when encountering special events, officials can take leave. Taking leave is divided into two types: giving a leave and giving a leave. Giving a leave can be taken on leave, but they are not allowed to return home. Giving a leave is given due to illness.
Today is exactly the "five-day break", and logically speaking, they should be there!
"Xianying, where will most of my father-in-law and brother go at this time?"
"On weekdays, my father and brother are mostly in the study!"
Cao Chong nodded and smiled at Xin Xianying, "That's right, Xianying will go to the backyard to find her mother-in-law, and I will go to find her father-in-law!"
Xin Xianying nodded. Although she had only been away from her mother for a few days, Xin Xianying's longing for her mother was like a pot of thick soup, and it was already shining with waves!
Xin Xianying thought for a moment, glanced at Xiu'er, and said, "There are many people in the Xin family who don't know their husbands, so let Xiu'er take you there!"
Xiu'er immediately bowed and responded, and Cao Chong nodded.
The two separated, Cao Chong and the four men slowly entered the backyard. Although Xin's mansion was not as good as the Prime Minister's mansion, the guards were in place. Along the way, Cao Chong saw several patrol teams composed of several pairs of servants.
These people are considered servants here, and if they are pulled out, they may not be a powerful soldier in a hundred battles...
The study was empty, and Cao Chong ordered Xiuer, Zhou Dufu and others to wait outside, but he took off his shoes and stepped in one step.
Many of the etiquettes of this era are similar to those of Japan in later generations. It is also because Japan has a small country and few people, and the ethnic integration is not too serious, so it has been maintained until now.
Cao Chong was thinking in a mess, but his eyes were patrolling the study room.
Forehead!
No one?
Cao Chong was extremely puzzled. He was about to turn around, but someone suddenly slapped behind him.
This shot made Cao Chong even stand up even his hair. Cao Chong jumped back and turned around at the same time, and immediately saw the person in front of him.
Killing!
Cao Chong complained in his heart, brother-in-law, are you sick? There is no sound when you walk!
"Cang Shu is here, is there something wrong?"
Cao Chong looked at the study and found that there was no one else, so he asked, "Why isn't his father-in-law here?"
Xin Chang smiled on his face, and his tone was actually very peaceful.
"You said, father, he was summoned to the Shangshutai by the Prime Minister today, and I don't know what he is doing!"
At the Shangshu Deck?
Cao Chong frowned. It seemed that this southern expedition had only been in these few days!
"Well, since my father-in-law is not here, then this matter will be the same as my brother-in-law!"
matter?
Xin Chang's face showed an interest-minded look. Cao Chong's skeptical attitude made Xin Chang very annoyed, but after Xin Pi's guidance, Xin Chang also understood a lot.
Once this matter is understood, Xin Chang became more mature.
"If there is anything you need help, Kurasu can just say it!"
Cao Chong looked at Xin Chang's appearance, and was not polite, so he got to the point with just one sentence.
"I wonder if Xin's mansion is outside Xudu?"
manor?
Xin Chang was stunned and felt a little strange.
