With the invitation from the Ban Mansion, no one stopped them at the entrance of the alley. However, there were many carriages at the entrance of the alley, and many people got off the carriages at the entrance of the alley and walked to the entrance of the Ban Mansion.
Su Qi knew that the Ban family had spent a lot of money this time.
It just so happened that Su Qi also wanted to use her identity as the Ke family's apprentice to test the waters this time.
Gu Beiheng and several others got off the carriage and met Ye Mingjie.
Although Ban Juan was not around, Ye Mingjie also saw Gu Beiheng, Su Qi and others.
He vaguely felt that this person seemed very similar to Gu Beiheng, but he didn't dare to step forward to confirm whether it was true.
This is the entrance to Ban Mansion.
If Gu Beiheng made appropriate changes, it must be his arrangement. He didn't dare to greet him easily.
Ye Mingjie slowly shifted his gaze and looked at the other guests who had arrived.
The secret guards of Ban Mansion followed Ye Mingjie's gaze and looked at Gu Beiheng and others, but they couldn't make out anything.
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi held hands tightly.
Today, Gu Beiheng was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe. He put away the jade pendant that represented his status and replaced it with another mutton-fat jade auspicious cloud pendant.
Su Tianze walked beside Gu Beiheng.
Bai Zhi followed behind Su Qi.
The group of people attracted quite a lot of attention.
Someone said jealously:
"Who is this person? I have never seen him before. But he caught the attention of Ban Fu." The person who spoke took a lot of effort to get in touch with Ban Fu.
Naturally, they envied Gu Beiheng and others who were treated better than them.
The servant at the door received the invitation and glanced at Gu Beiheng and Su Qi calmly.
Then he bent over with a flattering smile on his face, "Master Gu, Master Su and I will go to the front yard. Madam, take Madam Gu to the courtyard of Class 189."
Su Qi frowned unhappily.
Once you enter the Ban Mansion, you are no longer worthy of your own name.
Gu Beiheng scratched Su Qi's palm and told her to be careful. He then gave Bai Zhi a stern look, warning her to be careful around him.
Bai Zhi nodded slightly.
You are not allowed to bring a sword to the Banfu.
Gu Beiheng and Su Tianze left their swords in the carriage.
The two men only brought daggers, while Gu Beiheng and Su Tianze both had guns strapped to their calves. An hour before leaving, Gu Beiheng dragged Su Tianze into the cellar to teach him how to shoot.
Su Qi took Bai Zhi and followed an old maid from the Ban Mansion to the backyard.
The old lady had a dark face and was silent. She had high cheekbones and was tall and thin, giving people the impression that she was difficult to get along with.
Bai Zhi asked a few questions, but was answered indifferently by her.
"Miss. Our Ban Mansion is a big place, with five to six hundred maids and servants in it. How can I, a person who is not favored, know this? This old servant only remembers the masters of the Ban Mansion." The old nanny raised her eyes, revealing most of the whites of her eyes.
Baizhi was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Your concubine Lou is at least half a master." Bai Zhi and Lou Siyun got along well in Mengjiazhuang. After hearing about Lou Siyun's situation, Bai Zhi felt more upset than anyone else.
The old lady glanced coldly at the wild flowers on the roadside, and casually put a wild flower that was available for anyone to pick on her head.
"According to the rules of the Ban Mansion, we only have No. 189 in the class and no Concubine Lou. To be considered a half-master, she must be among the top 10. Look at how far away she is."
"My words that displease you are not as important as my position in the master's heart."
The old lady led the way and said nothing more.
Su Qi did not stop Bai Zhi from asking questions, nor did she interrupt. In her heart, she had a better understanding of the backyard of the Ban Mansion.
Bai Zhi silently counted the number of people and cursed in her heart why the head of the Ban family didn't die in the room.
He's simply a killer of women.
An evil person who seizes things by trickery and plunder.
Along the way, she mentally called out greetings to all eighteen generations of the Ban family's ancestors.
It's different from going to the main courtyard and the favored courtyards.
The place where Lou Siyun was located was very remote, and there were few servants and maids walking along the way.
Turning from a corridor, there is a Aquarius Gate. After passing through the Aquarius Gate, there is a small flower garden. The old nanny led Su Qi and Bai Zhi through the flower garden and saw another crescent gate.
Bai Zhi was just about to ask the old lady if she had taken them on a detour on purpose?
How could it be so far?
Several miles have been walked.
After exiting the Crescent Gate, I saw an open path.
There are houses on both sides of the road, and the houses are all next to each other.
Su Qi took a quick look and saw that there were three main rooms, two side rooms on each side, and a courtyard in the back.
The front is blocked by a wooden fence, and you can clearly see what's going on in the yard.
There is a sign hanging at the entrance of each wooden fence.
For example, this is Class 101, and the one opposite is Class 102.
Odd numbers are one row, even numbers are the opposite row.
Most of the yards with wooden fences are quiet, and you can see that there are almost always people living there.
Occasionally you would see one or two little girls working.
Or maybe the maids were doing some rough sweeping.
Everyone who saw the old nanny who brought Su Qi and the others looked very respectful.
Walked for a while longer.
Su Qi saw the house number of Class 189.
The old woman stopped and shouted sharply:
"Class No. 189, come out, someone is visiting." This voice not only called out Lou Siyun, but also opened all the doors of the surrounding rooms.
Several beautiful women stood in the yard, looking around with envy on their faces.
Someone walked onto the path and wanted to gather around, but when he saw the old lady, he was so scared that he shrank back.
Lou Siyun didn't expect Su Qi to really come.
She happily walked forward and opened the wooden fence. The old nanny's face changed and she looked at the little girl behind Lou Siyun.
A sharp look almost skinned her alive.
"Sister-in-law. You really came." Lou Siyun's figure became increasingly slender, and she seemed like she would fall down if the wind blew.
She hugged Su Qi tightly, ignoring the horrifying look of the old nanny beside her.
After Lou Siyun released Su Qi, Bai Zhi bowed to Lou Siyun. "Miss Lou, do you still remember Bai Zhi?"
Lou Siyun raised her hand to help Bai Zhi up and said with a smile:
"Remember. You are half our master."
Lou Siyun greeted Su Qi and Bai Zhi as they entered the house.
When the old nanny outside saw the little girl following Lou Siyun was about to leave, she sternly told the little girl to stay.
She raised her hand and slapped him in the face, then slapped him again with the other hand.
Lou Siyun heard the old nanny slapping the little girl without stopping.
Since this girl can't be made to do anything, it would be better to let the old nanny take care of her.
The little girl knelt on the ground after receiving several slaps, and said tremblingly:
"Mammy, please spare me, Mammy, please spare me."
"Hmph. What does the Ban family keep you for? No matter how worthless she is, she is still the master's plaything, and you are just a slave. I'll give you a good beating and send you to the medicine garden to be used as a medicine inducer. When the time comes, there will be no one to answer your cries." The old nanny kicked again.
"Stupid thing." She glanced at the door closed by Lou Siyun with her shrewd eyes.
He took a deep look and went back to report the matter to the class manager.
The little girl who stayed behind wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth unwillingly and looked up at the closed door with hatred. "Bah. What kind of bullshit? You're looking for someone to back you up, but don't you think you're worthy enough?"
The little girl was not convinced by Lou Siyun.
The little girls and old women on both sides of this peach blossom road all have the same moral character.
It doesn't matter if your number is after 50, but you can't live in the houses on both sides of Peach Blossom Road.
These are the least favored concubines, representing your fate of being at the mercy of others.
Only the first twenty people with number plates are favored in the Ban Mansion.
Naturally, the one who falls out of favor has to give up his number plate, allowing the favored person to continue using the first twenty number plates.
The old lady's action scared the little girls who were watching the fun half to death, especially when she said she would beat them up and send them to the medicine garden.
Several little girls went back to work in shame.
