The same as all the imperial mansions in Dazhou.

The Zhuangzi in which Xu Rong and the others were placed was also divided into inner and outer villages.

The edge of the outer village is visible. It is the land cultivated by the villagers. Some of the villagers have moved from nearby villages, and some are tenant farmers who have lived here for generations. It is only thanks to them that the emperor's village can have a steady supply of food. for.

But unlike the ordinary Huangzhuang and Guanzhuang, the Neizhuang here actually looks like a village.

The houses alone are the size of two Yujia villages, not to mention that there are more than a dozen shops, restaurants, and even a pawn shop in the village.

It's not yet noon, so there are only a few customers in the shop.

The restaurant is even more deserted, but through the window, you can see the boss and the waiter setting up tables and chairs.

Although the place is much livelier than when they first entered Zhuangzi, everyone still just lowers their heads and does things without saying much to each other.

This scene was the same as when Mu Lu came to visit yesterday.

The carriage that Xu Rongrong was riding in was wide. When passing by, it was out of tune with the surrounding layout. At first glance, it looked like an outsider.

But wherever they went, they did not arouse the curiosity of the villagers.

Occasionally, a few people raised their heads, caught Mu Rong's gaze, and then avoided his gaze in panic.

Although the windows on the carriage were never opened, the strange atmosphere was still transmitted into the car.

Luo Xiao lowered his voice: "Why are you so quiet?"

Xu Rongrong shook his head gently, glanced at Chu He who was sleeping, took out the ointment of blood stems and stuffed it into his palm.

Luo Xiao was a little surprised: "Why is this, County Lord?"

"It has its own uses." Xu Rongrong covered her mouth and snickered.

The slightest movement in the car could not escape Mu Rong's ears.

Along the way, he was able to see the strange nature of the village. He was led into a dangerous situation by an inexperienced girl. This originally made him a little uneasy, but the chuckles in the car inexplicably smoothed away the trace of panic.

He straightened up subconsciously, becoming more and more erect.

……

After passing through the bustling but quiet streets, and walking further in for a while, a slightly majestic tall mansion was revealed in front of everyone.

It is no exaggeration to say that even in the capital, the residences of officials below the third rank are not as impressive as this.

But what is strange is that there is no plaque on the door.

"We're here!" Chunwang's donkey stopped in front of the vermilion door of the mansion.

A concierge immediately ran over and whispered something into Chunwang's ear.

Chunwang nodded when he heard the words, turned around and looked at Mu Rong: "The owner of the village is waiting for you all inside, and the doctor has also entered the house and can treat Mr. Mu's brother at any time."

Mu Rong dismounted: "Thank you very much."

Within a few words, four boys ran out of the door carrying a stretcher and stood quietly in front of the carriage.

Chu He was lifted off the carriage, and Shu Qing and Mu Lu followed him inside.

Xu Rongrong, accompanied by Luo Xiao, stepped out of the carriage.

Mu Rong calmly stretched out his hand, helped her down, and whispered in her ear: "I will always be by your side."

Xu Rongrong glanced at him, revealing a pair of sparkling eyes on his face that was blocked by a hood.

Mu Rong saw a hint of excitement in his bright eyes.

It’s that excitement before an adventure begins.

this girl...

Mu Rong sighed in his heart: He is becoming more and more courageous.

After entering the door, Chunwang disappeared.

Instead, there were two maids who led the way and led Xu Rongrong and his party into the front hall.

What they didn't expect was that there was no one in the hall.

I didn’t see the owner of the Royal Manor.

The two maids served tea and prepared to leave.

Xu Rongrong took off his hat, revealing his original appearance.

One of the maids caught a glimpse of her face and shook her hands in panic, almost overturning the tea set.

She quickly knelt down.

Xu Rongrong glanced at her and didn't shout, but asked with a smile: "What do you call your master?"

The maid was slightly startled, shaking her body and not knowing how to answer.

Mu Rong would not be as polite as Xu Rongrong. He snorted coldly: "What? Don't you even know how to call your master?"

The maid trembled even more.

Her reaction made Xu Rongrong a little strange. She stretched out her hand to pull the maid up and ask a few more questions, when she saw Chunwang, who had just disappeared, entering the hall with an apologetic look on his face: "I'm really sorry, I was just arranging Mu Sir’s brother has caused the ignorant servants to neglect him.”

He glared at the maid: "Get down quickly!"

The two maids quickly bowed and left. The one Xu Rongrong wanted to ask just now had a pale face.

Chunwang looked ashamed: "Our village owner is writing a letter to His Highness the Crown Prince in the study. He won't be able to come over until later. Please forgive me."

After he finished speaking, several boys came in from outside, each holding some exquisite pastries and drinks in their hands.

After they placed the cakes and drinks on the table, they stood aside.

In the homes of ordinary nobles, most of the errands of serving guests are done by maids, but here it is actually a servant?

Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong looked at each other and saw something strange in the other's eyes.

Chunwang came over, put on a smile and introduced: "The owner of the village is worried that Mr. Mu and his family will be bored sitting here, so he specially ordered the villain to serve our village's specialties to kill some time."

After speaking, he poured wine for everyone himself: "These fruit wines are also brewed by the manor. They are sweet and delicious, and will not be intoxicating."

Mu Rong picked up a glass, sniffed it and said, "It is rich in fruity aroma. It is indeed a good wine."

After speaking, he took a small sip and nodded with satisfaction.

"Mr. Mu is indeed a man who knows how to drink." Chunwang was overjoyed when he saw the compliment. "If you like it, I will have a bucket filled with wine when you leave and take it back to the capital for you." taste."

"So, thank you very much." Mu Rong said unceremoniously.

Seeing this, Chunwang continued to persuade Xu Rongrong: "This wine has a lingering aroma. Madam, you can try it too."

Mu Rong smiled and said: "My drinker is a light drinker. I'm afraid he will collapse after just one sip."

Xu Rongrong wrinkled her nose when she heard this, but she was not convinced.

She picked up the wine glass and sniffed it for a while: "It's just ordinary osmanthus wine. I want to try how delicious it is."

Upon seeing this, Mu Rong quickly reached out to stop him.

But Xu Rongrong raised his head and half a glass of wine fell down his throat.

Maybe she drank too quickly and coughed repeatedly.

Mu Rong was anxious and angry at the side. He kept stroking her back and patted her gently: "You are so stubborn!"

To Chunwang's ears, these words seemed to be the expression of interest between husband and wife.

But for Mu Rong, he was really offended by Xu Rongrong.

Regardless of her past life or this life, as long as she faced him, this girl was completely stubborn.

But he was so decisive in killing and had no temper at all in front of her.

Xu Rongrong's cheeks were red from coughing, and her eyes were filled with water. This look made Mu Rong unable to even say a word.

Not to mention Chunwang at this moment, even Luo Xiao who was sitting aside felt a little awkward.

She covered her mouth and snickered. If it weren't for the inappropriateness of this place, she really wanted to leave here and make room for the two of them.

Mu Rong's hands and feet were clumsy and he was in a hurry.

Chunwang stood aside, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of indifference: There is not much time left for you, enjoy this last tenderness.

A person flashed outside the door.

Mu Rong immediately caught it from the corner of his eye, but his expression did not change and he was still looking at Xu Rongrong.

Seeing this, Chunwang quietly retreated.

He walked quickly to the door and waved the visitor to a secluded place: "Why are you here? But the owner of the village is back?"

The visitor nodded: "Your Excellency has just arrived and ordered me to come and deliver the message."

Chunwang glanced at the hall and whispered: "Then go and tell the owner of the village that a batch of good goods have arrived recently. It will be a long night and a lot of dreams, so we should take action as soon as possible."

"My lord has said that we need to calm down a bit recently. It's not convenient for him to walk here, so you can just watch and deal with it. Don't leave any tail behind."

When Chunwang heard this, a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Then this business..."

"Consider it as a reward from my lord, and you can handle it on your own." After the visitor finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye."

Then he pulled down his hood and hurried away.
