The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse
Chapter 449: Finding the Ancestral Hall
Liu Meir did not walk to the conspicuous large pavilion.
As soon as she left the hospital, she was stopped by the little girl who brought her water in the morning. The girl was very enthusiastic and wanted to accompany her for a walk.
Liu Meir pretended to refuse a few times and followed her.
……
Xiao Ba took the dumplings and steamed buns and strolled to the second gate of the courtyard of Li's mansion.
On the corridor, Xiao Ba looked around for tall buildings with wide ridges. She didn't know anything else, but after traveling around with Yan Sinian for the past few months, she knew that a place like the ancestral hall must not be a small house.
Right in front of where they were standing, that is, on the north side, there was a tall building with a black roof and green edges that was very eye-catching.
"Which way should we go first?" Xiao Ba asked, pointing to the north.
Jiaozi and Mantou looked in the direction Xiaoba pointed, and Mantou spoke up to stop Xiaoba.
"Master, that should be the Li family's library or collection building."
Xiao Ba was puzzled, "How do you know? Have you been to their restaurant?"
"No, master, do you see the black tiles on that building?" Mantou pointed to the building in the distance and asked Xiaoba to look.
Xiaoba nodded.
"Master, in the theory of the five elements, black belongs to water, and the north is also water, so the building was built on the north side, and the tiles were painted black, which is the black color of water. This is to prevent fire. In the library, there are the most books, and fire is the most feared, so such places are covered with black tiles."
"In fact, it is the same in the palace, but the master has never paid attention to it."
Xiao Ba nodded. "Where should we go first?"
Jiaozi said, "Master, I have already found out. The Li Mansion is divided into two courtyards, east and west, separated by the central courtyard. The east courtyard is home to the eldest princess, her husband Li Zhigong, their son Li Qiyou, and their adopted son Li Qiju and his family. The west courtyard is where the head of the Li family, Li Zhishen, and his wife, and his two sons who have already started families live."
Mantou also analyzed: "Logically, Li Zhishen is the head of the Li family, and he should live in the east courtyard of the Li family. But the princess is the monarch and they are the subjects, so Li Zhishen avoided to the west. I think the Li family ancestral hall must be in the west with Li Zhishen."
Jiaozi also nodded: "I also heard that the Prince Consort Li lives in the academy all year round and only comes back during the three festivals. Only the eldest princess lives in the East Courtyard."
Xiao Ba looked at the dumplings and steamed buns. She didn't want to know how the people in this mansion lived. She just wanted a direction. If there was nothing in the east, she would go to the west. Anyway, at her speed, she could finish the run in one day.
The master and his two servants walked through the courtyard and headed towards the northwest corner.
When they were almost at the end, they really found a building with a golden roof and red walls deep in the grass. There was a faint smell of sandalwood mixed in with the smell of the grass.
Jiaozi just raised an eyebrow at Mantou with some joy, expressing that they found the place so quickly. Turning a corner, they found that it was not a clan temple at all, but just a larger Buddhist temple.
A maid came towards them, who looked to be about 28 years old. Seeing the other party bow, Mantou stepped forward to answer.
After exchanging a few words, the two men bowed and parted ways.
Mantou came back and told Xiaoba and Jiaozi that the person just now was the maid of the second wife of the Li family, and this was the ancestral temple of the Li family.
When Xiao Ba heard that this was not the place he was looking for, he didn't care. If it wasn't here, he could just look somewhere else.
Following behind Xiao Ba, Jiaozi whispered to Mantou: "Why do I feel that this Li family and this Li Mansion are weird?"
Mantou nodded slightly to show his agreement.
Many wealthy families have a Buddhist shrine at home, but none of them have a family temple at home.
Moreover, the Li family is a well-known scholarly family. Since the previous dynasty, the Hongru Academy has been famous all over the world. But such a Confucian family actually built a temple at home, which is really puzzling!
Mantou kept it in mind and decided to report it to the prince later. As for the rest, it was none of their business.
The proper thing to do is to follow your master well.
Among the three people, two of them are skilled in martial arts, and one of them has a physique different from that of ordinary people.
In just half a day, he had toured most of the huge Li Mansion. Finally, he found the Li family's ancestral hall in the east.
After Xiao Ba decided on the place, she turned around and walked back. The nanny said that she should not let anyone find out when putting things there, so she planned to come back at night.
Touch your belly.
These days, her food and lodging have been following Yan Sinian's schedule. Calculating the time, she should be hungry at this point.
"Let's go back and eat!"
Fortunately, this place is very close to where they live, with only a lotus pond in between.
The lotus flower stands out from the water. One stem is green, and two shadows are red.
The three of them walked slowly along the edge of the pond, admiring the early summer lotus flowers.
Xiao Ba fumbled around in the embroidered backpack he was wearing, but in fact he took out a bag of venison jerky.
This meat jerky is specially made. It is thicker and more durable than those made by ordinary people.
The selection, marinating and cooking of meat require more attention. These were made for Xiaoba when Baozi was here.
Looking at the jerky in the master's hand, Mantou had something to say that lingered on his tongue for a long time before he finally asked.
"Master, do you know how Baozi is doing now?"
Xiao Ba took a bite of the meat in his hand and said, "I know!"
Mantou was shocked. She had always thought that the master didn't care about her fate.
The master was simple-minded. On weekdays, he didn't ask them anything except food. But Baozi had been gone for so long, and she hadn't asked a single question. She couldn't help but feel that the master might be a little cold.
At this moment, when Mantou heard this answer, he suddenly felt a little guilty because of his previous thoughts.
That’s right, she was overthinking it. There was no need for the master to tell them that he cared about Baozi.
The master eats and lives with Your Highness every day, so naturally he would ask Your Highness if there is anything.
Thinking about the information she received, Baozi is now married to Anqi, and the two of them went to the north together.
There must be a plea from the master, otherwise, given their identities, how could they leave safely.
One is the prince's secret guard, and the other is a maid in the East Palace. She was once a member of the Heavenly Stems. How could they escape so easily? I'm afraid they will be skinned alive if they don't die.
"Master, you are the last master of this world! Come, try this, I specially asked someone to buy it for you this morning!"
Mantou searched his body for a while and finally found a bag of pine nut candies and offered them to Xiaoba.
She decided that she would never doubt her master again. Their master was the best master in the world!
Xiao Ba saw the candy Mantou gave her, and after taking it, she nodded to Mantou very naturally. She didn't care what Mantou said, anyway, you gave it to her, so whatever you said was right.
As for the matter about the steamed buns, Xiao Ba really just knew about it.
The news was naturally told by Yan Sinian. After all, Baozi was someone he had once given to Xiao Ba, so no matter how he dealt with him, he had to tell Xiao Ba.
From Xiao Ba's perspective, Baozi was originally Yan Sinian's person, and whatever he asked Baozi to do was the job he gave Baozi, including being her maid.
If Yan Sinian really wanted to kill Baozi, Xiao Ba would not have any emotional fluctuations. In fact, if he had such a request, Xiao Ba could do it for him.
Because in Xiaoba's cognition, there is no right or wrong, only Yan Sinian.
Of course, as long as Baozi doesn’t fight against Yan Sinian, Xiao Ba will stand on Baozi’s side if he fights with others.
