The horse's hooves slapping the stone pavement made a crisp sound, Hanque and Qianyanxiu in the carriage were eating cakes while chatting about what they had seen and heard with great interest.

"I don't think I ever ate such snacks when I was in Lianyi Mountain. The master always told us to cultivate our morality and cultivate our character, and to be pure and ascetic, so the three meals a day are simple and light food. If it weren't for this trip down the mountain, I wouldn't know that there are so many good things down the mountain." What about food?" Hanque said while stuffing things into her mouth, her cheeks on both sides were puffed up, round and cute.Qian Yanxiu, on the other hand, was eating slowly while watching the bird's eating and laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Are they delicious in the first place!" Hanque reminded Qian Yanxiu righteously, anyone who looked at her eating would believe that these foods are delicious.

"Yes, yes, it's delicious, but you will eat more delicious things than this in the future, and then you won't think they are delicious," Qian Yanxiu said with a smile.

Qian Yanxiu is a likable person, whether it is a servant girl of Qianfu or a Hanque, he can always make people let go of their guard against him and trust him unconditionally.After they disguised themselves all the way, they never met anyone who came to hunt them down again. After more than half a month of non-stop driving, they finally arrived at the capital of Yunluan.

Sure enough, as Qian Yanxiu said, this is an unbelievably more prosperous place than Luoshui City.The soldiers patrolling the towering city walls did not stop at all, one after another, under the huge city gate, six skilled soldiers carefully checked the passers-by.

After the inspection, the three of them walked through the long and busy streets, and after turning countless turns, they finally came to Qianjia's house in Yundu.As soon as the carriage stopped, Qian Yanxiu couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage.

From the outside, Qianjia's house is undoubtedly solemn and luxurious. There are two thick willow trees in front of the door, and countless slender willow branches hang down from the huge tree crowns, which are full of shade.

Behind the willow tree is a pair of ferocious door beasts, with short and thick horns, and their mouths are pursed, as if they are angry.Behind it is a pair of vermilion lacquered gates, with three eye-catching characters hanging on the door frame - Nanhou Mansion. "Wow, this is your house, it's so big." Hanque's next words were full of surprise and excitement.

"Well, this is my home." After Qian Yanxiu finished speaking, she strode over and stepped up the steps to the door. In front of the closed door, Meng Bo could clearly feel the excitement and expectation in Qianyanxiu's heart.Man followed behind him all the time, without speaking or expression.

"Bang bang bang—" Qian Yanxiu slammed on the door several times, but there was no response.He raised his hand and patted hard a few times, but still no one responded.

"Is there anyone here?" Hanque's originally expectant expression gradually turned into doubt.

"Yes, when my father took us away from Yundu, he specially left servants to tidy up the house. After all, it was bestowed by the king."

"Bang—bang—bang—" Qian Yanxiu's knock on the door went from being full of pride at the beginning to being listless now, but no one came to open the door.

"Can't we go in directly? It's not that we can't get in." The bird on the side was really impatient.

"Okay, I'll go in and open the door." Qian Yanxiu didn't have any hope for the people inside, so she had to do it herself.

"Let's come down," Man, who was speechless the whole time, finally spoke.

"Um, that's fine." After Qian Yanxiu agreed, she climbed over the high courtyard wall and jumped into the courtyard.After a while, the door slowly opened from the inside, but the scene in the courtyard was far from as good as they had imagined.

Most of the flowers and plants on the flowerbeds and corridors are covered by dense weeds, and a few are dead, leaving only dry stems.This desolate scene was beyond everyone's expectation. He hurriedly rushed into the yard and crossed the front yard. Tables and stools collapsed everywhere, a thick layer of dust accumulated on the furniture, and the porcelain and pottery were broken all over the floor.

At this time, Qian Yanxiu's expectations had long since dissipated, her face was full of distress and disbelief.He rushed into the backyard as if flying, and the backyard was still in such a disastrous scene, even a long corridor collapsed.Qian Yanxiu was already on the verge of collapse, Hanque stood beside him dumbly, not knowing how to comfort him, Man's eyes behind Qianyanxiu were filled with deep anger.

After quite searching the entire yard, she finally found a few skeletonized corpses in a remote corner of the backyard. From the clothes and accessories, Qian Yanxiu recognized that they were Qianchi's servants who stayed in Yundu to watch the house.

Perhaps before sending the killer to find Qianchi, Shi Ziheng had already searched the old house of Qian's family carefully. He did this because he thought that Qianchi might not have taken the ice wheel blood jade, so he sent it to Qianchi. Qianjia turned it into this picture.

Qian Yanxiu stood there dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.Although he didn't stay in Yundu for a long time, it was after all his childhood.Anyone who sees their hometown and old acquaintances will be extremely sad and sad.

"Yan Xiu, don't be too sad." Han Que comforted him at a loss, seeing Qian Yanxiu before was always cheerful and fearless, it was the first time he saw Qian Yanxiu looking helpless like this.Being in the same body, Meng Bo can understand Qian Yanxiu's feelings better than anyone else, the feeling of tears flowing into her heart, the feeling of having nowhere to vent the anger and resentment that is stagnant in her chest.

Apart from the slight emotional fluctuation at the beginning, Man has no expression, and his calm is terrifying.The atmosphere fell into an unprecedented stiffness and coldness.Man stood for a while, then turned and walked away, Qian Yanxiu was still immersed in his emotions and did not move for a long time.

At sunset, Man led Qian Yanxiu to live in the room he had just tidied up.Although many furnishings in the house have been destroyed, it is not difficult to see the original simplicity and luxury of this room from the material carvings between the screen and the bed.

After settling Qianyanxiu and Hanque, Man did not go back to his room to rest. Meng Bo left Qianyanxiu's body and sat on the roof watching Man leave Nanhou Mansion without knowing where he was going.When he first came to Yundu, he originally wanted to go to Hualu Temple with Qianyanxiu to investigate the situation as soon as possible, but right now, Qianyanxiu might not be in the mood. He doesn't know the way alone, and he doesn't know how to get there.

After the gentle red halo faded from the sun, Meng Bo left the roof and returned to Qian Yanxiu's body.Qian Yanxiu, who was wrapped in brocade silk, looked serene at this moment, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, presumably the scene in her dream must be very beautiful.Meng Bo stood by the bed and stared at him for a long time, wishing that his dream would wake up slowly.

"Bang bang bang..." A quick knock on the door ended Qian Yanxiu's beautiful dream, "Qian Yanxiu, Qian Yanxiu, get up quickly." The voice of the bird outside the door was louder than ever.Qian Yanxiu opened her eyes with difficulty, looked at the situation in the room in confusion, and the corners of her mouth that were originally raised froze on the spot.He opened the door with a calm face, and the Hanque outside the door changed his usual haughty and panicked expression.

"Qianyanxiu, suddenly there are a lot of people in the courtyard, go and have a look." Qianyanxiu followed Hanque to the outer courtyard before she had time to ask.When they rushed in last night, they didn't realize how big Nanhou's Mansion was. They had actually walked this part of the road for a long time this morning.

When Qian Yanxiu and Hanque walked to the outer courtyard, the outer courtyard had already changed. The dead and broken trees had been removed, and the thick dust had been swept away.Qian Yanxiu, who watched the servants coming and going, hadn't recovered before a woman dressed like a maid came to him with a copper basin filled with water, and saluted respectfully: " Young Master, it’s getting late, let Wei Yuan wait for you to wash up.” Meng Bo returned to his room when the sun rose, and at that time Nanhou’s Mansion was no different from yesterday, so why are so many people here in a short while still in order? Cleaning up the house.Both Qian Yanxiu and Han Que had confused expressions, it seemed that they had the same doubts as Meng Bo.

"My lord, these are all new servants, you can let them take care of you at ease." Man said as he led another group of women towards Qian Yanxiu.Meng Bo thought he was there last night for some reason, but it turned out that he was looking for someone to work for.

But how could he find so many well-behaved and experienced people in one night? He met Qian Yanxiu and Hanque's puzzled eyes, and his expression remained unchanged: "I still want to arrange for them to clean up the inner courtyard. Wei Yuan will bring you Take good care of Young Master and Miss Hanque."

After Qianyanxiu finished washing, Man sent someone to invite Qianyanxiu and Hanque to dinner.Although Meng Bo saw that it was not easy, his abilities were far beyond his imagination. If this were the enemy, he must be a formidable opponent.

Under such circumstances, the hastily prepared breakfast was not simple at all. There was a big gorgeous table, and four or five servants stood aside in order, serving Qianyanxiu and Hanque for dinner, but Man was not seen during the whole process. .

"Qianyanxiu, I'm so used to so many people watching me eat," Hanque complained to Qianyanxiu in a low voice.

"I'm not used to it either. I don't have so many people serving at home." Although the Qian family has servants, they live a simple life and have never had such a formal scene. , the stars are like the moon.

In just half a day, Man led people to clean everything that should be cleaned in the Nanhou Mansion, and in the remaining half day, he added all the destroyed things in the house, and almost repaired all the houses that needed to be repaired.Qian Yanxiu and Hanque watched the servants passing by eagerly, and praised Man's ability from time to time.

In the next few days, Man took Qian Yanxiu to wander around various high-end places in Yundu every day, meeting many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in an open and aboveboard manner.In just four days, everyone of any status in Yundu City knew that the son of Nanhou had returned.

The reason why Man created such a big momentum for Qian Yanxiu was nothing more than to let people see Nan Hou's influence.In this way, even if Qianjia is dependent on the eldest son Peixian, Peixian can do his best to protect Qianjia.It's just that it's really hard for Qianyan to rest these few days, there are endless social occasions, and she keeps flattering each other with a group of people.

"Man, when are we going to find the crown prince?" Qian Yanxiu, who had finally finished a banquet and relaxed with a pained face, asked Man.

"Wait, wait for someone to come to us," Man Yun said calmly.

Qian Yanxiu looked into Man's deep eyes and couldn't figure out what he was thinking. At this time, Man was not like a servant at all, but more like a seasoned counselor, calmly giving advice.
