Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel strange. According to his conjecture, this Young Master in Embroidered Gown was born in a well-off family. But this time, although he had a decent carriage, he didn't have any servants to greet him. It should be known that in this world, the rich and powerful families were very particular about these etiquettes.
"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"
Song Qingshu looked outside through the screen window. The bustling streets and the abundance of people were different from other places. But since he had traveled through time, what big cities hadn't he seen? Although Lin 'an was bustling, he didn't put it in his eyes. His mind was completely focused on guessing who this Young Master in Embroidered Gown was.
After traveling for half a day, the carriage finally drove into a remote courtyard in the city. Even though this courtyard could be considered elegant, it inevitably gave off a feeling of decay and old age. Song Qingshu became even more puzzled. "This residence doesn't look like much."
Soon the carriage stopped and Zhangsan's voice came from outside, "Young Master, please get off."
After getting off, Zhangsan and the others didn't say anything. They silently led him around the courtyard. Song Qingshu was full of doubts, but he was afraid of exposing himself, so he didn't dare to ask.
After walking for a while, the group of people unknowingly came to a remote small door. There was a plain carriage waiting there.
Zhangsan cupped his fists and said, "Young Master, we are too big a target. It's not convenient to travel with you. Please get on the carriage. We will protect you in secret."
Song Qingshu nodded and suddenly understood, "So it's a plan to repair the plank road in the open and move in the dark."
Thanks to the visual bombardment from the various spy movies in his previous life, he was already familiar with these connections and how to shake off his pursuers. Now that he knew the secret behind it, Song QingShu immediately calmed down and began to meditate in the carriage.
Along the way, they passed through about three or five residences. Finally, the carriage was replaced by a sedan chair. After traveling for another half a day, they suddenly saw two large stone lions squatting on the north side of the street. There were three large doors with the heads of beasts, and in front of the doors sat a dozen or so people in luxurious clothing. The main door was not open. Only the east and west doors were used. There was a plaque above the main door. On the plaque were five big words, "Build the Wei Guo Mansion."
Song Qingshu was secretly shocked, "Wei Guo Fu? Isn't this the house of Jia Shidao, the Privy Commissioner of the Southern Song Dynasty? "
He had been the emperor of the Qing Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, so he knew a thing or two about the structure of the power centers in the world. Duke Wei of the Southern Song Dynasty was the famous powerful minister Jia Shidao. Now that he was the Privy Envoy, he was one of the most powerful ministers in the court.
However, this chaotic world was, after all, different from the history of his previous life. In the history, Jia Yidao was so powerful that even the emperor had to respectfully address him as "Shichen", and all the officials called him "Duke of Zhou". In this chaotic world, the Southern Song Dynasty still had Moqi Chen, Han Xuan Zhou, and Shi Miyuan, who were famous treacherous and powerful officials in history. Naturally, his power was not as exaggerated as in the history.
Even so, Jia Shidao was still a powerful figure in the court of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was not someone to be underestimated.
While Song Qingshu was bewildered, the sedan chair was being carried directly in the direction of the Wei Guo Fu. It did not enter through the main gate, but through the western side gate.
"They are from the Jia Family." Song Qingshu was secretly shocked. Jia Shidao was so powerful and had a close relationship with the Isle of Heroes. What did he want?
The sedan chair bearers carried the sedan chair in. When they were about to turn, they rested and left.
While Song Qingshu was confused, a girl dressed like a maid came to greet him with a group of old women. She smiled and said, "Master Bao, you are finally back. Our ancestor has been talking about you all day."
As she spoke, she called over three or four well-dressed servants who were about seventeen or eighteen years old. They lifted the sedan chair and continued to walk into the garden.
Song Qingshu secretly observed the girl through the gap of the curtain. She had a slender body and a long face. Although she was not stunning, she looked gentle and lovely, which made people subconsciously feel close to her.
"Master Bao?" Song Qingshu murmured the name of the maid. He had a strange expression on his face. Why did it sound so familiar?
"What happened to you today? Why are you so quiet?" The maid walked beside the sedan chair and secretly laughed through the curtain when no one was paying attention.
Song Qingshu felt bad. This girl seemed to be the personal maid of the man in the brocade gown. From her tone, she seemed to have a good relationship with the man in the brocade gown. Otherwise, she would not have addressed him so casually. Considering how familiar she was with her master, it would be difficult for him to hide it from her.
"I just took a few carriages and sat in the sedan chair for a while. I feel a little dizzy and don't want to talk." Song Qingshu quickly found a reasonable excuse.
"Then hurry up and take a nap. Right now, the Great Ancestor is waiting for you in the room. When the time comes, don't look like you're sick. Otherwise, the entire Wei Guo Manor will not be at peace." The girl couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Song QingShu immediately had a headache. He knew nothing about the situation in the mansion, and he was about to meet the Old Ancestor. At that time, if there were any relatives there and he couldn't recognize them, it would be troublesome.
He wanted to inquire about some information from this girl, but seeing her bright eyes, it was obvious that she was a smart girl. Moreover, she was the servant of that young master in luxurious clothes. If he was not careful, it would be easy for her to see through him.
Although Song QingShu was a little nervous, he had experienced the great waves of the Qing Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. He was not that worried about a mere House of High Dukes. After all, his martial arts had been restored. If worst comes to worst, he could just use his Light-body Technique and escape.
With this thought, he gradually calmed down. He was ready to deal with whatever came his way and act according to the situation.
The sedan chair stopped in front of a flower door. The servants retreated and the girl came forward to open the curtain. She helped Song Qingshu down the sedan chair, "Be careful."
Song Qingshu couldn't help but laugh. This rich family was very particular. Not only did she not know how to eat, but a man like him needed the help of a servant to get off the sedan chair.
However, he was pretending to be the man in the brocade gown, so he didn't dare to do anything strange. He held the servant's hand and got off the sedan chair.
It was soft and warm. Song Qingshu couldn't help but think that the girl's little hand was really beautiful. However, he was in a tiger's den, so he quickly calmed down and let the servant lead him inside.
After entering the flower door, there was a corridor on both sides. In the middle was a hall, where there was a rosewood shelf and a large marble screen. After turning the screen, there were three small halls. Behind the hall was the main courtyard.
There were five rooms in the front, all of which were richly ornamented. On both sides of the hall, there were all kinds of parrots, thrushes, and other birds hanging on the walls. Song Qingshu secretly clicked his tongue when he saw that it was as beautiful as the palaces of the Jin Kingdom and the Qing Kingdom. It seemed that Jia Shidao had been corrupted a lot.
On the platform, there were a few girls in red and green sitting. As soon as they saw them, they smiled and greeted them. They said, "The old lady was reading just now. What a coincidence!"
