It wasn't like this in my last life

The boat docked, and the good news is that the journey went smoothly, and there were no more fights such as those at the post station.

Song Badai and others went ashore one after another, and it feels really good to be down-to-earth.

Several Uncle Zong came to lead the people, tidied up each of them, changed carriages and continued on their way.This time Song Qidai and Song Badai separated from Song Wenfei, Song Lian and others, but they took the same carriage as the Zongbo who had picked them up from Song's house before.The carriage was roomy and well furred, soft and comfortable.

The Song and Qi Dynasties were a little cautious.

This Zongbo is not a talkative person either, he just told them a little bit about the rules of the Duke’s Mansion, and specifically mentioned the Duke of the State, “The Duke of the State is the one who immediately established the family business, so when you arrive at the Duke’s Mansion, in addition to asking In addition to reading, you must also practice your boxing and kicking skills." He glanced at Song Badai, "It's hard to suffer, just practice and practice."

Song Badai tried hard to take back the double chin, but the double chin is not something you can take back if you want, so you still come out from time to time to brush up your presence.

Song Qidai changed the topic, "I don't know how the Duke will make the selection this time? Can Uncle Zong give you a hint or two, so we can prepare early." Since the Duke's Mansion plans to spend a month on the selection, it must be He won't fool around casually, and Song Qidai also wanted to win the fair.

Uncle Zong had a smile on his face, "You are clever. Yes, this selection is really difficult. It will be divided into three stages: primary election, main election, and final election. The primary election will be held half a month after you enter the mansion. Contests are conducted in terms of etiquette, morality, etc. Those who have passed the primary election enter the main election, which is divided into civil and military. Going into the final final selection, this level will be set by the Duke himself."

Zong Bo spoke in such detail, presumably he regarded them as his own. The Seven Dynasties of Song Dynasty and the Eight Dynasties of Song and Song Dynasties secretly remembered what they had heard, saluted and bowed, "Thank you, Zong Bo, for your reminder."

While talking, the carriage stopped, and people were bustling outside. Song Qidai opened the curtain and saw that he was entering the city for investigation.The driver of the car showed the sign of the Duke's Mansion, and then went all the way unimpeded, entering the most prosperous Jingfu East Street in the capital.There are many shops and shops on both sides of the street, with pearls and emerald greens overflowing the eyes, and the four horses cross the road. Its prosperity is more than a hundred times that of Licheng.

When the carriage left for a stick of incense, the yelling outside gradually faded away, and the horses neighed and neighed loudly, which could be heard endlessly.

Song Badai was a little drowsy, and was awakened by the groom's loud "wow". Rubbing his astringent eyes, Song Badai poked his head out, and his mouth could instantly hold an egg.Uncle Zong explained with a smile, "The Duke of the State is the second-ranked one in the dynasty, and the mansion is still bestowed by the current emperor, so it is naturally extraordinary."

After the carriage passed through the east corner gate, the three of them got out of the carriage with the help of the servants. Only then did Song Badai realize that they had arrived late. Song Wenfei and Song Lian had already arrived and were waving at them not far away.

The place where they stayed was the wide lane in the courtyard of the East Road, and they were led by servants to enter in an orderly manner. There was a screen wall of blessings and longevity bricks erected in the hallway, red pillars and green carvings in the veranda of Chaoshou, and they walked along the veranda directly into Huayuan East Road. Surrounded by mountains and holding water, it is too beautiful to behold, and the winding corridors between pavilions, terraces and buildings are dizzying.

Shocked by the sight, dozens of people straightened their backs unconsciously and stopped talking to each other.

"Everyone has worked hard all the way. I am Song Rong, the steward of this mansion. I have arranged accommodation and servants for the young masters. When I go back later, I find that something is missing. I can ask the servants to go to the treasury to ask for it. It is really important. Let them come to me. Now count the number of people, please come here with me if you read the name."

The housekeeper, Song Rong, pronounced each name in a correct accent, and Song Badai secretly memorized it in his heart, trying to match the names of those people with their faces.Song Qidai squeezed his palm and said in a low voice, "Whatever you spend all that time on, you won't be able to see him in about half a month."

Song Eight Dynasties: "..." Who said to win the fair and aboveboard, is it really okay to be so arrogant? !

"Song Wenfei." Hearing the name of an acquaintance, Song Qidai and Song Badai looked up, but saw the butler was stunned for a moment, with a somewhat strange expression, "Your name is Song Wenfei? Come here." Turning his head, he motioned to the servant behind him, "Yuzi , lead this young master to the east side room."

Song Badai quietly moved behind Song Qidai, "Second Brother, did you notice that the first few were all assigned to the West Side Wing?" Song Qidai nodded cryptically, and lowered his voice, "Not only that, the waiter Wen Fei's servants are also second-class." The ranks of servants are distinct, not only the clothes are different, but also the position of the station is also particular.

Is it possible to start from here to divide into three, five, nine, etc.?

Soon it was the turn of the two of them, but this time the butler did not pause, and directly called the servant behind him, "East Wing." Not long after, two more were assigned to the East Wing, but both I don't know.Song Lian was unlucky and was assigned to the west wing. After saying hello, he followed the others.

"Young Master, please come here." The young servant who served Song Qidai was called Quanxi, and his clothes were also second-class. It's convenient. The two masters must be tired after a long week of work, Quan Fu, so I haven't gone to the dining room to ask for some hot water and refreshments."

The boy named "Quan Fu" looked a little clumsy, he grinned when he heard the words, turned around and left.

Quan Xi bowed to the Seventh and Eighth Song Dynasties and apologized, "Don't be surprised, my brother Quan Furen is stupid, but he is kind-hearted and can endure hardships. It is Uncle Rong who is sympathetic, and he is afraid that he will cause trouble elsewhere. Arranged for us to be together. If he is not thoughtful, please forgive me, please forgive me."

Song Badai just saw him ordering Quanfu to do things and thought he was bullying honest people, but he didn't expect that these were two brothers, and they were quite loyal brothers.Thinking of himself and Song Qidai, Song Badai could understand immediately.Song Qidai also nodded, "Let's do this, the rooms on the left and right are spacious enough, and the neighbors don't need to be tidied up, so we can just live together."

The two places are in one place, so the matter is much less, and it is convenient for Quanxi to look at his younger brother Quanfu.

Quan Xi was so happy that he couldn't find the north, he kept thanking him, and said: "You two masters rest first, if there is something missing, just tell the younger one if you can't live there. Although this east side room is also a place for entertaining guests, it has been used for many years. Fewer people come, so there is still less popularity. From my point of view, it would be better to add two pots of small evergreens to this case. If the master thinks that the small one’s suggestion is good, then the small one will do it.”

"Will it be too troublesome?" Song Badai felt that the environment here was good enough, and there was really nothing to be picky about.

Quanxi shook his head, "Look at what you said, it's not troublesome at all, the little ones come as soon as they go." After finishing speaking, he ran away.

Song Qidai shook his head and laughed, "I thought it was a steady one, but I didn't expect it to be another addition."

The two looked at each other and smiled, feeling a little homesick.

After soaking in hot water, both of them felt refreshed, and after drinking some of the tea and snacks sent by Quanfu, they felt energetic.Looking at it again, Quan Xi has already led a few servants to bring Xiao Changqing here, and tidied up their salutes, the whole wing room suddenly became human.

Song Wenfei also packed up and came to talk to them.

"Yo, you two brothers really grew up together?" Song Wenfei was very envious, and then talked about Song Lian, "I don't know if that kid has been bullied by others? This guy's luck is really not ordinary."

Just as he was talking, he heard a commotion outside, and then Yuzi, who was serving Song Wenfei, ran in, "Master..." Realizing that the Seven Dynasties and the Eight Dynasties of the Song Dynasty were all there, he suddenly hesitated, and Song Wenfei glared at him, "Speak frankly, there are no outsiders here."

It was only at this time that Song Badai suddenly realized that, in fact, they and Song Wenfei were still in a competitive relationship.Although the old lady had an agreement with Lu Guogong, this agreement cannot be put on the table, and there is a word in this world called "variable".Could Song Wenfei be that variable?

Song Qidai didn't think too much about it, and patted Song Wenfei on the shoulder, "Okay, brothers know what they're doing, so don't embarrass others."

Song Wenfei smiled apologetically, made a bow, turned around and left with Yuzi.

When they were far away, Song Badai said with emotion: "This is still the beginning." Even though Song Wenfei himself didn't have that kind of heart, the servants who served him might not be there. Over time, could Song Wenfei really have no grudges?Song and Eight Dynasties asked themselves that they might not be able to do it.

Although both of them were a little curious, they didn't bother to inquire.

And that night, there was no need for them to inquire about it, and the entire Dongpei Wing was buzzing with rumors.The cause of the uproar at that time was that Lu Guogong's official wife, Mrs. Yipin of the Duke's Mansion, actually went to see Song Wenfei in person in the wing room.The Duke's Mansion is very large, divided into east, middle and west roads. What is it that made the elderly Mrs. Duke rush all the way to the guest room on the East Road without waiting for the summons?

Now even the Song and Seventh Dynasties couldn't hide their curiosity.

Song Wenfei came over early in the morning of the second day, and he didn't show off, but he also had a strange face, "I said that I look a little like the grandson of the Duke who died..."

Yuzi is wiping tears behind, not only is there a bit of resemblance!If it wasn't for the extreme resemblance, the old lady could cry like that yesterday, hugging the young master and calling her "heart".If it wasn't for the persuasion of the aunt beside her, the old matriarch would probably faint from crying.Alas, it's a pity that my young master is short-sighted, what a good opportunity, I wasted the opportunity for nothing, and even leaked the news to the enemy.These two people must be able to live in the east side wing, and they must have some ability, not to mention the white flour steamed buns, the tall one next to him, at first glance, he is a difficult master to deal with.

Oh hello, he is really worried about his young master.
