Chapter 7 Is this the Hou Mansion?

Mrs. Xu brought Su Yuexi to the town.

This place is actually not far from the capital. If we keep driving the carriage, we can reach the capital at night.

However, Su Yuexi seemed to be unable to get used to riding in a carriage and felt a little dizzy.

Seeing Su Yuexi's fragile appearance, Mrs. Xu was a little worried about her health, so she decided to stay in this small town tonight.

They went to the medical clinic first and asked the doctor to check Su Yuexi's pulse.

It was learned that he was malnourished, had a weak heart and blood, and needed to be nursed back to health. So I just took some warm and tonic medicine.

It’s not that Mrs. Xu is stingy.

Mainly because she was away from home, Mrs. Xu didn't have enough money, and she didn't have a place to cook medicine.

Besides, they can return to the Hou Mansion tomorrow.

There is no shortage of all kinds of precious medicinal materials in the Hou Mansion. It is better to buy more than you can eat in a small place like this and waste money.

It would be better to return to the Hou Mansion tomorrow and have the doctor re-diagnose him before recuperating and supplementing his health.

The carriage stopped in front of an inn, and Mrs. Xu took Su Yuexi to book a suite.

This kind of suite consists of a master bedroom and a small second bedroom.

It is usually provided for the masters of wealthy families to travel. The servants can also live in the house with the master for convenient personal service.

In the inn, Mrs. Xu ordered some meat buns and some side dishes, and ate them with Su Yuexi.

I don’t follow many rules when I go out.

Afterwards, Mrs. Xu asked Su Yuexi to rest in her room, and she went out to buy Su Yuexi some simple cotton clothes.

The tattered clothes she was wearing were impossible to look at.

You can't ask Su Yuexi to enter the Hou Mansion wearing such clothes, right?

After returning, Mrs. Xu asked for water again, and she personally helped Su Yuexi take a bath.

Let her put on clean new clothes.

Mrs. Xu threw out the shabby clothes Su Yuexi had changed into.

Afterwards, she told Su Yuexi about the general situation of the mansion, its rules, how to salute, etc.

That night, they rested in the inn.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Xu took Su Yuexi to have a meal of pork wontons.

Because this place is not far from the Marquis' Mansion in the capital.

Mrs. Xu was afraid that Su Yuexi would faint and vomit in the carriage, so she hired a sedan to carry her.

Mrs. Xu has a strong physique and can walk to the Marquis Mansion in one morning.

So she followed outside the sedan chair and walked towards the Marquis' Mansion together with the two porters carrying the sedan chair.

The sedan chair was indeed much more comfortable than the carriage.

The cushions inside were soft and the bearer walked quickly and steadily.

There was some slight shaking, as if on a rocking bed.

After a while, Su Yuexi became drowsy.

She found that this body loved to sleep, possibly because of its physical weakness.

Su Yuexi leaned on the sedan and took a nap.

She was swaying and dazed until she heard Mrs. Su calling her softly outside the church.

[Hey, are you here yet? 】

Su Yuexi suddenly became energetic.

She got off the sedan neatly.

The first thing that catches the eye is the majestic and thick vermilion door of the Hou Mansion.

There are two guards at the door.

There are two stone gatekeeper lions outside the door.

It is as grand as the ancient wealthy families seen on TV.

She couldn't help but sigh.

[This is the wealthy family in ancient times. ]

[Unfortunately, within a few days, Su Wuhou's mansion will be confiscated and exiled. 】

The eldest son of Su Houye made meritorious service in the frontier, and the news spread to the capital.

The emperor praised Lord Suhou in court. He was also rewarded with silver coins.

After going to court, he and his colleagues in the court had a few cups of tea, complimented each other and then went home.

This is the time when ambition is full and the spring breeze is triumphant.

But as soon as he arrived at the door of the Hou Mansion, he heard this voice.

Be bold! Who dares to speak such nonsense? !

His Su Wuhou Mansion was clearly at its peak, yet he dared to say that his family would be ransacked and exiled!

How audacious!

He stroked his beard with one hand and squinted his eyes towards the place where the sound came from.

I saw a small blue sedan parked in front of the Hou Mansion.

There was a thin girl standing in front of the sedan, and there was a woman next to her.

[I have to collect some money before being exiled from the Hou Mansion. 】

Su Yuexi thought.

oh? She still dares to say it!

Mr. Su Hou was so angry that he broke a beard.

[
