Chapter 64
Jidu Inner City. Adjacent to the east side of the Imperial Palace of the Dayan Dynasty, there is a courtyard covering an area of more than 1,500 acres.
The garden behind the yard has hills and rivers, jungle gardens, palaces and pavilions, which are extremely luxurious and luxurious. The triple courtyard in front is thick and simple. All the houses are made of giant wood and stone, and there is no decoration outside the houses. Spotted moss can be seen everywhere in this triple courtyard, making the houses here look extraordinarily old, with a faint old smell.
Tie Yuewu was sitting in a hall in the front yard, tasting a bowl of tea that was no different from boiled water. The quality of the tea is also poor, rough, dry and with a strong bitter taste. If it wasn't for Lu Qiuluo to lead the way, Tie Yuewu couldn't believe that this was the residence of Yuxuan, Duke Yanxing of the Great Yan Dynasty, and thought it was the residence of some merchant.
The empty hall is more than ten feet long and wide, very large and tall, but there is nothing in the hall, except for a worn-out red felt on the ground, bronze candlesticks at the four corners of the hall, and a few strips of paint stripped and tattered. Nothing else. The floor of the hall was also uneven. When Tie Yuewu entered the door, he saw that two mushrooms had grown out of the decayed threshold.
In particular, although there are four huge bronze candlesticks in the hall, each candlestick is only lit with white wax as thick as three little fingers. In such a large hall, with such candles, the lighting is really dim. Tie Yuewu stretched out her hand, but she could barely see her fingers.
Combined with the spotted moss in the yard, the tattered furnishings, and the two mushrooms on the threshold, this can still be the residence of the dignified Duke of Yan Dynasty? It is clearly a haunted house that has been uninhabited for hundreds of years and has been haunted for hundreds of years.
A few weak, as thin as a reed stick, pitted and ugly, with eyes straight like a zombie, the maids stood blankly in the hall, making this hall no different from a haunted mansion. The clothes on these maids were also made of burlap. Not only were they not starched, but there were many patches on their sleeves.
Frowning her brows, she glanced at the maids again, Tie Yuewu grinned, picked up the tea cup, and poured a few more sips of the bitter tea.
It's really hard to see how these maids were found in Yuxuan Mansion. The world in this world is full of spiritual energy, and it is a bit difficult to find a few ugly women after grabbing a lot of beautiful girls. Yu Xuan's housekeeper must have made great efforts to find so few maids who were born like moldy potatoes!
Sighing inwardly, Tie Yuewu gently shook her head.
As soon as she entered the city, she immediately showered and changed clothes and rushed to Yuxuan's mansion. This kind of behavior is not etiquette, but in a hurry, she can't care so much. She also entered Yu Xuan's mansion smoothly, and was brought to this hall by the housekeeper to wait for Yu Xuan's reception. But from the dusk until the bright moon hung high, Yu Xuan didn't show up, and not even a single person with identity came out to explain to her.
In his sleeves, Tie Yuewu tightly clenched his fists.
In the country of Lu, who would dare to neglect her like this? But here is the Dayan Dynasty, the suzerain state of more than 100 vassal states in the world. Yu Xuan is also the person in power in the Great Yan Dynasty's state ancestral mansion, and has the power to supervise all the countries in the world. Don't say let her Tie Yuewu hang here, even if she does something more extreme, she can only endure it obediently.
Sighing silently, Tie Yuewu picked up the teacup and swallowed the tea in one gulp.
A maid who was extremely ugly and had a thumb-sized black sarcoma on her chin walked up with a smirk. No matter what, she grabbed the teapot and poured a white cup of tea for Tie Yuewu. The maid's actions were rude and reckless, and the tea splashed from the tea cup, all on Tie Yuewu's skirt.
Resisting the urge to slap the maid to death with a palm, Tie Yuewu showed a charming smile and nodded lightly at the maid: "It's hard work girl.
"
The maid smirked a few times at Tie Yuewu, grabbed the teapot and walked back to the same place, standing still like a wooden man.
Tie Yuewu lowered her head and rolled her eyes in an unseen manner. Seeing the water stains slowly spreading on her well-made and expensive palace dress, her muscles tensed. The ten fingers in the sleeves were pinched into fists, and it was difficult to hold back the evil spirit in my heart.
The front yard of the Guozong Mansion is old and dilapidated like a haunted house, but the backyard is a luxurious garden.
Behind a shrine made of golden osmanthus wood, a jade plate carved out of the open air and paved with suet and beautiful jade. The old man was struggling to sprint on a delicate and tender body. The gentle moan drifted far away with the wind, making people feel itchy.
An old man with a white face and no beard, with thin skin and tender flesh, his face like a peeled egg, wore a red robe with a strange shape, and stood by the pool with a smile on his face, staring at the thin old man.
After a full two quarters of an hour, the skinny old man finally let out a long sigh of satisfaction, his body shook a few times, and he slowly straightened up from that soft body. Rubbing the fair and tender body with force, although skinny as a firewood, the good-looking old man gave birth to an air of immortality and asked indifferently, "The woman from the Lu family is still there?"
The old man in the red robe smiled: "It's still there. The slave girl just asked someone to check the three carriages she brought. There are no common things like gold and silver in it. Things. The quantity is a little less, but the value should be more than three million gold."
The skinny old man, the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, and the Duke of Yanxing, Yan Yuxuan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh? Can you have three million gold? This little family in the country of Lu still has a fortune."
With a long sigh, he patted the body of the girl under him, Yu Xuan stood up, frowned and said, "It's a mistake, it's a mistake. Originally thought that Xiaoyi Lu's small family brought only three carriages, it's worth it. She didn't have much money, so I left her there. I didn't expect that there would be three million gold? Alas, this is a heavy gift, and I came to the door with a heavy gift, but it was so negligent that it ruined the reputation of this gentleman!"
The red-robed old man laughed dryly, and then he explained in a low voice: "It's no wonder you, my lord, it's the servants who are ineffective. The things in the three carts are not ready-made gold and silver. How much are those treasures worth, the servants can't do anything? Surely not? That’s why I asked two old treasurers to help me identify them. It took me so long to get a complete appraisal of how much the treasures in the three cars are worth.”
With a sigh, Yu Xuan shook his head again and again: "It's not right, it's still wrong. I made a mistake today, I made a mistake. If this spreads out, it will damage the reputation of this gentleman. Quickly serve this gentleman to change his clothes. It has to be done quickly for people!"
More than a dozen naked and charming girls walked out quickly, waiting for Yu Xuan to quickly change his clothes.
Blinking his eyes a few times, Yu Xuan tugged at the few sparse beards on his chin, frowned and thought for a while, then strode to a big tree next to the shrine, and took a piece of the child's head from under the tree. The big cobblestone slammed into his face with a single stone.
Where the miserable howl started, Yu Xuan smashed himself into a depression on the bridge of his nose, and two streaks of blood spurted out.
With a light sigh, Yu Xuan motioned for the maid to help him to stop the nosebleed, and then carefully dressed up his face with powder. Looking at his own nosebleed on the ground, Yu Xuan sighed: "Is it easy to make some money these days? This gentleman is a duke, and as the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty, for three million gold, for his own sake. That's all there is to fame."
Shaking his head, Yu Xuan asked the red-robed old man, "How much did you sell Lu Chengfeng's news?"
The old man in red robe hurriedly took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "The news of Lu Chengfeng costs 10,000 gold, and the decree of the imperial government that you copied privately, lord, costs 50,000 gold. Don't worry, the servants are doing everything well. 60,000 nails of gold have already entered the inner treasury."
Nodding with satisfaction, Yu Xuan tugged at the burlap shirt on his body and sighed, "This is good, this is good. Isn't it just to make some money? Is it easy for me?"
Just when Tie Yuewu was impatiently waiting, thinking about how to get revenge on Yu Xuan, she heard a light cough with a changed tone from behind the screen in the hall. With the help of the two ugly maids, they walked out in embarrassment.
Without waiting for Tie Yuewu to stand up and salute, Yu Xuan hastily stepped forward and apologized to Tie Yuewu repeatedly: "Ashamed, ashamed. Today, when the Duke entered the palace to discuss matters, he accidentally fell off his mount and broke it. I just woke up when I got in front of the door, and I am really ashamed to have Mrs. Lao waiting for a long time!"
Looking at Yu Xuan's collapsed nose bone, Tie Yuewu couldn't help being startled, she hurriedly got up with a smile and said, "Boss, you're welcome, Rongyang won't be waiting for a long time. This time Rongyang took the liberty of visiting, really to take advantage of the wind. Child's business. Back then, Rongyang and Zuo Guozheng were adults..."
Having said that, Tie Yuewu's face turned red just right, and he was really hesitant to say anything.
Before Tie Yuewu could finish speaking, Yu Xuan couldn't wait to say: "I understand, I understand. I will do this for my wife tomorrow. Chengfeng is my descendant of Dayan, and in terms of my grandson, everyone. They are not outsiders!"
After playing a few hahas, Yu Xuan said with a long laugh: "Buzhi doesn't have a direct son, but he has left a lot of descendants outside, and we all know that. The unruly son who comes to Jicheng first will inherit his title. and fiefs, this is also the decision of the imperial government.”
The sanctimonious Yu Xuanse's eyes swiftly swept across Tie Yuewu's towering chest, and he said very righteously: "As long as it is proved that Young Master Chengfeng is an unruly bloodline, he is the Zuo Guozheng of the Dayan Dynasty. These things are the responsibility of this gentleman, and the wife actually sent three carts of gifts, which is really an outsider, an outsider!"
Still not waiting for Tie Yuewu to speak, Yu Xuan laughed loudly: "Don't do this kind of thing in the future. This gentleman has always been clean and honest, and this ill-gotten wealth is not taken for a penny. But since Chengfeng belongs to this gentleman. Grand-nephew, I made an exception to accept these three carts of native products! Little larvae, please put the gifts brought by your wife into the storeroom, it is your wife’s heart after all!”
The old man in red robe hurriedly responded, hurriedly shouting and shouting to the servants to drive the three carriages into the inner courtyard.
Yu Xuan smiled and looked at Tie Yuewu, who had a strange face, and said very contentedly, "If it wasn't for Chengfeng's relationship, I would never accept the gift from my wife. Madam, please take a look at this shabby house. So far, this gentleman's clothes are also so simple. On weekdays, this gentleman does not take any ill-gotten gains!"
A gust of wind blew through, blowing the lights in the hall to the point of extinction. Yu Xuan's burlap robe was rolled up by the gust of wind, revealing the gorgeous underwear made of thousand-year-old ice silk with the same color as water waves that he was wearing next to his body, as well as several buttons made of top-quality gemstones on his underwear.
The quiet night of Jidu was suddenly broken by a loud noise.
******
Yu Xuan's pursuit of gold and silver jewelry is the same as Pig's pursuit of various coins.
Let Yu Xuan, the shameless old guy, be that shit, comrades, work hard!
Tomorrow is a happy Friday, everyone can relax at work and school, so let's hit the ticket!
