Chapter 169 County Lord's Mansion
The prime minister was exiled to the frontier for his crimes, and the once glorious prime minister's residence was not spared.
The gate of the mansion was sealed and surrounded by guards. The strict atmosphere seemed to separate this place from the outside world into two different worlds.
All the money and treasures in the mansion were checked and confiscated one by one. The entire Prime Minister's Mansion was like a body that had been drained of blood, leaving only an empty shell.
The emperor, out of consideration for their old friendship and to demonstrate his benevolence and generosity, allowed the prime minister's three sons to return to their mansion to pack up their daily necessities.
But no one knew that the loyal servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion had not been dismissed. They had already packed the luggage of the three young masters and were just waiting for the three young masters to return and move to the County Lady's Mansion.
This is also one of the reasons why the emperor ordered the Ministry of Revenue to speed up the decoration of the County Lord's Mansion.
Since the prime minister was wronged because of him, he had to provide the three of them with a satisfactory place to live.
The County Lord's Mansion became the best choice.
Of course, another reason was to give his sons the opportunity to choose a courtyard in advance while Mo Linqing and the other three were not in the capital.
You can't just watch your sons not only fail to win Miss Shen's heart, but also fail to get a courtyard close to Miss Shen's residence, right?
Of course, the main reason why the emperor allowed his sons to live in the County Lady's Mansion was that Shen Shuangyue was a woman.
The reality is that no one in this world cares about a man's innocence. As long as the emperor conceals the fact that the princes are living in the county lady's mansion, the emperor will not lose face and it will not affect the princes.
The emperor also knew that the princes and the prime minister's three sons would definitely find a way to conceal the fact that they were living in the county lady's mansion.
After all, if this matter were discovered, rumors would surely spread about Shen Shuangyue.
In addition, the lives of the princes depended on Shen Shuangyue to save them, so the emperor had to create opportunities for Shen Shuangyue to get along with them.
Of course, the emperor is still relatively relieved about Shen Shuangyue. How could a person who only wants to leave this world have ambitions?
-
Shen Shuangyue was too lazy to guess what the emperor was thinking. She only knew that she didn't need to rent a house when she returned to Beijing this time. She could just live directly in the county lady's mansion.
But when she arrived at the gate of the county lady's mansion, she couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in her heart.
Who doesn’t want to live in a big house!
The red pillars of the red gate shine majestically in the sunlight.
The two stone lions in front of the gate have their eyes wide open and look very lifelike.
The plaque has the three characters "Xianjunfu" written by the emperor himself, which was a great honor in that dynasty and represented the emperor's favor.
Shen Shuangyue pushed open the heavy door and saw a wide bluestone road, an exquisitely carved screen wall standing in front, and lush bamboo forests standing upright on both sides.
Go forward and bypass the screen wall, you will see small bridges, flowing water, jagged rocks, and koi swimming freely. It is such a pleasant experience.
This is a mansion with five courtyards, each of which has its own unique world. It displays both the royal style and the gentleness and delicacy of Jiangnan gardens.
The first entrance is used for family members and guests. There are gatehouses on both sides of the gate, which are where servants such as gatekeepers and night watchmen live.
Passing through the hanging flower gate is the second courtyard, which has the main house and side rooms on both sides.
The main house is the living room for receiving guests, and the wing rooms are used as guest rooms.
The third entrance is where Shen Shuangyue's residence, study and tea room are located.
The fourth and fifth courtyards are the residences of the princes and the three Mo Linqing brothers.
Shen Shuangyue had just finished touring her residence when she ran into five princes. As if they had agreed to do so, they stood in an orderly manner outside the door. It seemed as if they were welcoming a long-lost distinguished guest.
Shen Shuangyue couldn't help but feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Before she could shake off her emotion, the considerate and abstinent Fifth Prince said gently, "Shuangyue, you must be exhausted from all the travel. I have already had water prepared for you to wash up."
After you finish your bath, it should be time for dinner. Have you ever thought about where to eat?"
"Just in the dining hall." The strange feeling in Shen Shuangyue's heart became stronger and stronger.
"Then can we continue cooking now?" the third prince and the sixth prince asked in unison.
Shen Shuangyue looked a little bewildered. "Are you the ones cooking?"
"Is it that Shuangyue doesn't want to eat the food we cook?" The third prince sitting in the wheelchair spoke in a low voice, and his pale face made Shen Shuangyue feel inexplicably guilty.
"Of course I want to eat it. It's my honor." Shen Shuangyue curled up her toes quietly.
She finally realized what was wrong. These people behaved like the wives and concubines who came to welcome the master back home. However, their status made it inconvenient for them to greet them at the gate, so they chose the courtyard where she was.
But she was a poor master, and had to rely on her wives and concubines to serve her personally.
"Then I'll push Third Brother to cook. Shuangyue, you should have a good rest first." The Sixth Prince nodded to Shuangyue, then looked at the Seventh Prince, "Seventh Brother, let us know when Shuangyue is done washing."
"Okay!" The Seventh Prince agreed, then looked at Shuangyue with a little pride, "Sister, I'll take care of all the errands from now on! Just tell me if you need anything!"
Shen Shuangyue's lips trembled, and she couldn't continue.
The domineering Fifth Prince spoke up at this moment: "I will prepare the bath water for you. If you need someone to help you bathe, I can also scrub your back." At this point, a blush appeared on his face, and he said embarrassedly: "I will go prepare the bath water first, it will be ready in a moment."
Shen Shuangyue: "..." She suddenly had a strange feeling of being unfamiliar but closer to these people.
"Is Shuangyue not used to it?" The abstinent Fifth Prince smiled. "This is all voluntary, you don't have to feel burdened. Before you were gone, everyone was competing for the courtyard with horse racing, cricket fighting, arm wrestling... The censors kept admonishing us for being unlearned and wasting our time on pleasure.
Fortunately, everyone is sensible. After I suggested that we divide the work and serve you, they were willing to cooperate and decide the courtyard allocation by drawing lots."
"Thank you very much." Shen Shuangyue smiled awkwardly. She was not used to this way of speaking, which was to narrate things openly but actually highlight her own contributions.
But she adapted in the next second.
Because of the abstinence of the Fifth Prince, he said, "After you move into the County Lord's Mansion, you will definitely receive many visiting cards. Because of the reward from the Emperor, we will also need to hold a housewarming banquet. Don't worry, I will take care of all this. You will only need to go through the motions when the time comes."
Shen Shuangyue said happily, "That's great. I really don't like these red tapes, and I hate socializing even more. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have closed the door and refused to see anyone, letting the rumors in the capital spread freely."
"As long as Shuangyue likes it, I'm glad I'm of use to her." The abstinent Fifth Prince smiled. "Also, my father will give you our salary. If you don't want to take care of any matters in the palace, I can help you."
"Okay, it's up to you." Shen Shuangyue was not willing to take charge of anything at all. She was just a passer-by in this world and there was no need for her to manage this mansion.
"Then it's settled." The abstinent Fifth Prince breathed a sigh of relief. He tentatively hooked his pinky with Shuangyue's, and seeing that she didn't refuse, he took advantage and interlocked their fingers. His eyes were filled with affection, and a sweet smile appeared on the corners of his lips. "Shuangyue, I have never been so happy."
Shen Shuangyue smiled somewhat helplessly. This considerate brother was really easy to satisfy.
only……
The stones of the rockery were suddenly pushed away, and the three Mo Linqing brothers walked out from under the rockery.
The three of them greeted Shuangyue first, and then Mo Linqing said to the abstinent Fifth Prince, "Since the rooms are decided by drawing lots, it would be inappropriate for the three of us not to participate. When will the lots be drawn again?"
The abstinent Fifth Prince glanced at the three of them coldly. "Shuangyue has already handed over the household supplies to me, so I have the right to allocate courtyards. Do you have any objections to me letting you occupy the remaining courtyards? Or do you want Shuangyue to go back on her word?"
