Chapter 363 Prince Lan's Mansion

Arriving at the center of Xinlongjiao Village, a luxurious mansion appeared in front of Du Ziyuan. He has lived here for 20 years, and he never thought that there would be such out of place buildings in this small village.

In front of the gate, there are four gold-plated characters of "Prince Lan's Mansion" on the huge plaque, and there are four fully armed guards standing in front of the gate.

Only then did Du Ziyuan remember that the emperor had mentioned something about the palace to him when he was granted the title, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Later, these matters were handed over to Nie Xue and Wen Cuilong. He had no idea that a palace would be built in the village.

Du Ziyuan won't come to live here, he really can't figure out what is the significance of this palace.

At this time, a large group of people were surrounding the gate of the palace. Looking at their clothes and listening to some people's accents, they obviously did not look like country people living nearby.

And they were surrounded by a man who looked to be in his fifties. The man said loudly: "How can it be so simple to want to see the prince? Leave your things, you go back and wait."

Some of those people put down their gifts as promised, and left after saying a few words. Some of them refused to give up and wanted to see Du Ziyuan, but they were all stared back by the man in his fifties.

"Who is this person?" Du Ziyuan asked.

Yang Zhong glanced at him in surprise: "Isn't this the Steward Li of the Palace?"

"I still have a housekeeper?"

Du Ziyuan was about to go up to have a look, but immediately there were two big knives interlaced in front of him.

Butler Li said without looking back: "I've said it all, is the lord so easy to see? Don't try to make friends with me here. If you keep things, if you are sincere enough, there will naturally be a chance."

"Oh, really? How can you be sincere?"

Butler Li turned around, and said impatiently, "You don't have any sincerity..." He got stuck in the middle of speaking, because he saw Du Ziyuan's face.

With Du Ziyuan's current popularity in Aolan Country, quite a few people have seen him on Lingguang Jade. Butler Li recognized it at a glance. At that time, he was stunned. He never thought that Du Ziyuan, whom he hadn't seen for several months, would suddenly appear on such an occasion.

Du Ziyuan looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and the hairs on his whole body stood on end. He hurried up and kicked the two guards away: "You are blind! You don't even know the master! Damn it! Damn it!"

The two guards were also taken aback, and quickly put away their knives and knelt down to the ground begging for mercy. They have never met the real Du Ziyuan. Although they have seen him on the Lingguang Jade, there is still a gap between him and the reality. There are only a handful of people with such good eyesight as Steward Li.

Du Ziyuan ignored them and just walked through them to the gate. Steward Li hurried to follow, but the two guards did not dare to get up. Yang Zhong didn't dare to follow at first, but Du Ziyuan turned around and waved at him, so he walked over.

Du Ziyuan entered the palace, and it was the first time he entered this mansion that was nominally his own.

"The decoration is not bad," he said as he walked, "it's very elegant. It's really difficult for you to build such a mansion in such a countryside."

Steward Li was sweating profusely, and said: "It's not difficult, it's not difficult, it should be..."

As Du Ziyuan was walking, he suddenly stopped. Turning around, he said, "Hey, what do you usually do when I'm not around? This house is so big, isn't there a lot of people living there?"

Butler Li hurriedly said: "Go back to your lord, there are 31 guards, 20 male servants, 14 female servants, and a total of 66 people including the younger ones in the house. They are all rewarded by the emperor. Everyone is responsible for their own affairs on weekdays." There are those who take care of the garden, clean up, and guard the palace, and the younger ones are responsible for receiving those visitors who come to the door."

"There are quite a lot of things," Du Ziyuan said casually, "but why don't I know anything about you?"

Butler Li wiped off his sweat and replied, "My lord, ordinary people near your residence are simply not close, and we have no choice but to wait here for your visit."

"So, while you were waiting, you also entertained my guests by the way?"

Butler Li immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "The young one is Yuezu, and I ask the prince to forgive me."

"Okay, you get up first," Du Ziyuan continued to walk in, found a chair to sit down in the hall, and then said to Li Guanjia, "Let's talk about sincerity, what is sincerity?" If you have enough, you will have a chance to meet me? Why don't I know?"

Butler Li hurriedly said: "My lord, you don't know something. There are too many guests coming to the door these days. Everyone has to ask how to meet you. I don't know how to meet you, so I have no choice but to make up this A set of rhetoric to deal with, I hope the prince will understand."

"So, you just let them put down the presents and leave?"

Butler Li nodded quickly. "Yes Yes."

Du Ziyuan asked, "What about the gift?"

"It's all kept, and I'll take you to see it, little one."

Butler Li turned around to lead the way, but Du Ziyuan shouted, "Wait."

"My lord?" Butler Li looked at him puzzled.

But Du Ziyuan said: "You don't need to look at the presents. If you think about it, you know there must be a lot."

"Yes, yes," Butler Li said hurriedly, "Your Majesty Mu, there are really a lot of guests here."

"So, even if one or two items are missing, I won't notice, will I?"

"Yes, yes... Ah! No, no, my lord, I dare not touch these small gifts for you!" Butler Li immediately knelt down again. He didn't know how many times he knelt down.

Du Ziyuan suddenly smiled and said, "Why are you nervous? I'm just joking. Get up."

Hearing this, Steward Li stood up tremblingly, and said with a smile: "My lord is wise, little one, how dare you do such a foolish thing, every gift is matched with a gift list, and there will be nothing missing."

But Du Ziyuan said: "Next time, don't be so anxious to bring up the gift list, you know? Generally, only those who have tampered with the gift list dare to propose to be inspected so confidently."

"I……"

The housekeeper wanted to say something, but Du Ziyuan stopped him: "Next time when you lie, remember to be less petty. When you were talking to me just now, you licked your lips 3 times, scratched your neck 5 times, touched your Pull your fingers 7 times, this lie is too obvious, I didn't even see it... oh, and..."

As he spoke, he grabbed the butler's hand: "Tsk tsk, it's so cold, if a person wants to escape quickly, the blood in the whole body will concentrate in the legs, and in that case, the hands will be as cold as yours. "
