Chapter 141: Xin Mansion!
Stomp ......
The huge Xuanwu Street, the ground is made of marble, sitting in the carriage, although there are some bumps, but it will not be uncomfortable to sit.
The car Cao Chong is sitting in now, except for the one horse-drawn carriage, the others are all Cao Cao's treatment.
To put it bluntly, it is to turn the treatment of Cao Cao's three horses into one.
A horse-drawn carriage, such a large carriage, naturally a little reluctant, but fortunately, the Xin Mansion is not very far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after more than ten minutes of bumping, a tall mansion stands on the right side of Xuanwu Road.
"Phew~"
The groom got out of the car, and Cao Chong got out of the carriage with the support of Zhou Dufu, and by the way, he also hugged Xin Xianying.
The entrance to the Xin Mansion was empty, and this was because Cao Chong didn't say hello in advance.
"Xiu'er, go knock!"
"Whoa!" Xiu'er bowed slightly at Xin Xianying, but she didn't dare to look directly at Cao Chong when she lowered her head.
She stepped up the stairs, pulled up the thumb-thick knocker, and began to knock on the door!
Bang bang bang......
Bang bang bang......
After a while, a voice finally came from inside!
"Who?"
Squeak~
Two or three people tall opened a small gap in the gate, and a thief's eye glanced out.
"Concierge, don't open the door yet!"
"Yo, Miss Xiu'er!" There was a sound of surprise inside, and the doors all opened.
"Isn't Miss Xiu'er in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Why do you have time to come here today? ”
Slaves and housewives are not the same concept, housewives cannot leave the house, but portable maids do not have this taboo.
"I'm here, naturally, with Miss!" Xiu'er's appearance was like the first time she saw herself, and she was arrogant, thinking of that day, Cao Chong couldn't help but smile in her heart!
Miss?
The porter looked back, and sure enough, he saw a group of people, led by a handsome boy, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, and half a step behind him, a woman was standing.
The woman wore light makeup, and the hair on her head was coiled together, indicating that she was already a wife.
The porter had naturally seen Xin Xianying, so after taking a look, he looked down very interestingly and bowed to the young man in front of him.
"Uncle is here, the villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai!"
Cao Chong waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's okay, my son only came casually, you don't need to inform your father-in-law and brother-in-law, I am still familiar with this mansion!"
The porter's eyes flickered a few times, but he still kowtowed his head honestly.
"Whoa!"
Cao Chong nodded, and entered the mansion with Xin Xianying and Zhou Dufu Longzhi.
The flowers are fragrant, the birds are whispering, and some spring water can be heard during the process.
Cao Chong turned his head to Xin Xianying and asked with a smile: "At such an hour, the father-in-law and brother-in-law should be there?"
Xin Xianying thought for a moment, and then said: "Today is a day off, my father is usually in the house, and my brother may not be able to see him because he has been on an errand in Shangshutai recently!"
Cao Chong nodded and continued to walk as if nothing had happened.
This so-called holiday is similar to the weekend in later generations.
The Han Dynasty vacation system is mainly divided into two categories, one is menstrual holidays; The other type is holiday leave.
The Han Law records that officials can take a bath every five days, which is called "rest and bath", which means rest and bathe. Because the court of the Han Dynasty required officials at all levels to concentrate on the official office and accommodation, there was no special order, and they were not allowed to go home normally, only when they arrived at the "rest", they could take a bath and change clothes, go home for reunion, clean or visit relatives and friends, so it was also called "five days off".
Han Dynasty officials also enjoyed various holiday holidays, such as the winter solstice, summer solstice, and Spring Festival. In addition, in case of special things, officials can take leave, which is divided into two types: giving and giving notice. They are allowed to take leave of absence but are not allowed to return home. Giving is a leave given for illness.
Today, it coincides with the "five-day holiday", and it stands to reason that they should be all there!
"Xianying, where does Brother Yue's brother-in-law usually go at this time?"
"On weekdays, my father and brother are mostly in the study!"
Cao Chong nodded, smiled at Xin Xianying, and said, "That's the case, then Xianying will go to the backyard to find her mother-in-law, and I will go to find your father-in-law!"
Xin Xianying nodded, although she had only been away from her mother for a few days, Xin Xianying's thoughts about her mother in her heart were like a pot of thick soup, which was already shining!
Xin Xianying thought for a while, glanced at Xiu'er, and said: "There are still many people in this Xin Mansion who don't know their husbands, so let Xiu'er take you there!"
Xiu'er immediately saluted, and Cao Chong also nodded.
The two separated, Cao Chong took these four people, and slowly entered the category of the backyard, although the Xin Mansion was not as good as the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the guards were still in place, and along the way, Cao Chong saw several pairs of family members composed of patrol teams.
These people are here, they are considered family members, and if they are pulled out, they may not be a hundred battles......
The study was empty, and Cao Chong ordered Xiu'er, Zhou Dufu and others to wait outside, but he took off his shoes and stepped in.
Many of the etiquette of this era are similar to those of later Japan, and it is also because of the small size of Japan and the fact that the national integration is not too serious, so it has been maintained until now.
Cao Chong was thinking about it in his heart, but his eyes were patrolling in this study.
Forehead!
No one?
Cao Chong was extremely puzzled, and just wanted to turn back, but he was suddenly slapped on the back.
This shot made Cao Chong's hair stand up, Cao Chong jumped back, turned around at the same time, and immediately saw the appearance of the person in front of him.
Xin Chang!
Cao Chong complained in his heart, brother-in-law, are you sick? I didn't make a sound when I walked!
"Cang Shu is here, but is there something?"
Cao Chong looked at the study and found that there was no one else, so he asked, "Why isn't he here?"
Xin Chang smiled on his face, and his tone was unexpectedly peaceful.
"You said father, he was summoned to Shangshutai by the prime minister today, and he doesn't know what he's doing!"
In Shangshutai?
Cao Chong frowned, it seems that this southern expedition is only in these few days!
"Well, since my father-in-law is not here, then this matter is the same with my brother-in-law!"
Thing?
Xin Chang showed an interested look on his face, Cao Chong's skeptical attitude before made Xin Chang very annoyed, but after Xin Bi's enlightenment, Xin Chang also understood a lot.
As soon as this matter was understood, Xin Chang's whole person matured a little.
"If there is anything you need help with, Cang Shu can just say it directly!"
Cao Chong looked at Xin Chang's appearance, and he was not polite, and cut to the chase directly.
"I don't know if Xin Mansion has a manor on the outskirts of Xudu?"
Manor?
Xin Chang was stunned for a moment, feeling a little strange in his heart.
That's it?
