Chapter 823: settle down
Chapter 823 Settlement
Muwang Mansion is located on Jingyong Street not far from the Imperial Palace. The entire mansion is exquisitely carved, with pavilions, pavilions and lotus ponds.
However, the size of the mansion is quite satisfactory among the many mansions of princes and counties, neither too big nor too small.
At this moment, the middle door of King Mu's Mansion opened wide. It was not the first time in more than ten years that the middle door was opened, but it was the first time to welcome the real master of King Mu's Mansion.
Tan Anjun looked at the huge plaque above the main entrance, his eyes were dim, and his expression was complicated and difficult to distinguish.
The three big characters of Mu Wangfu are vigorous and powerful, and the old colors on the plaque silently tell the prosperity and decline of the three generations of Mu Wang.
Yang Lan'er came out of the carriage and saw Tan Anjun's dazed back. She followed his line of sight and glanced at the plaque. This was her first time in the capital, and her feelings were not as complicated as Tan Anjun's.
Seeing the servants of the royal residence standing neatly in two rows in front of the gate, just to welcome their new master.
Tan Anjun heard the movement behind him, turned around and saw Yang Lan'er standing on the shaft outside the carriage, he dismounted and walked to the carriage, and stretched out his hand to her: "Lan'er, come down and walk with me."
"Okay." Yang Lan'er smiled and was carried off the carriage by him.
Tan Anjun gave instructions to Xiao Liu behind him, and then he clenched Yang Lan'er's hand and slowly walked up the steps in front of the Mu Palace, ignoring the servants of the palace who were kneeling in front of the door.
Xiao Liu looked at the backs of the two masters entering the palace, waved to the guards, and the guards arranged for the remaining carriages to enter the mansion, and the young masters had to get off at the second gate.
During his stay in Beijing, he directly and temporarily took over all the affairs of the palace.
After all, the prince has not returned for more than ten years, who knows how dirty this palace is?
Tan Anjun walked all the way, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar mansion, he bowed his head and said softly: "The scenery of the palace has not changed much, but the buildings have become old. One can tell that it has not been repaired for many years, and it has not been repaired for many years. It's a pity to be well cared for by the master!"
Hearing this, Yang Lan'er smiled at him and asked for his opinion: "Why don't we find some skilled craftsmen and let them repair the whole palace?"
Tan Anjun shook his head: "That's not necessary. It's not worth wasting money and energy for nothing. Maybe it will be cheaper for outsiders."
Yang Lan'er rolled her eyes, knowing who the outsider he was talking about, she nodded: "I listen to you."
"Naughty!" Tan Anjun squeezed the little palm in his hand, "You have a plan for these things, and you will use words to make me happy."
"Then are you in a better mood now?" Yang Lan'er tilted her head and looked at him.
Tan Anjun hummed lightly.
Yang Lan'er smiled and asked again: "It's still early today, do you need to go to the palace to say hello?"
"No, I'm too tired from the journey, so I have to rest for a night. I'll just pass it over to invite An Zhezi to enter the palace." Tan Anjun wouldn't be so impatient, and getting his family settled is his top priority now.
The family settled down tonight, the family of five gathered in the main courtyard, and had their first comfortable supper in twenty days.
The second room of the Tan Mansion, that is, the second room of the original Mu Wang Mansion, heard that Mu Wang's family returned to Beijing, the old lady took a nap, and has been waiting for Tan Anjun to bring his family over to say hello.
From the beginning of the lights to the darkening of the night, no one was waiting for the person who should come.
The old lady felt a suffocated breath because of this, she couldn't sleep well all night because she couldn't get up and down, and when she got up early in the morning, her two shrewd eyes were dim.
She was originally a side concubine to support the righteousness. Since she became a second concubine, she has always regarded rules more than Mount Tai, and doesn't like others not to respect her. Isn't the behavior of Tan Anjun's family hitting her minefield.
In the eyes of the old lady, she is an elder, and Tan Anjun and the others should take the time to pay her respects as soon as they come back, otherwise it would be unfilial.
As soon as Second Aunt Tan entered the old lady's courtyard, she saw that even the woman guarding the door held her breath and dared not speak at all. When she saw someone coming, she hurriedly saluted, helped open the curtain with her eyes lowered, and announced to the inside .
As soon as Second Aunt Tan entered the door, the first thing that caught her eyes was the old lady's rigid and serious face, looking at her with unfriendly eyes.
She stepped forward to salute, looked at the blue eyes of the old lady, and asked with concern: "Mother, it seems that you are not in good spirits, what's the matter? Didn't sleep well last night?"
The old lady's brows were frowned into a Sichuan character, and her tone was not very good: "You started to be lazy early today, when is this? I'm already hungry, hurry up and serve my meal."
Second Aunt Tan: "."
She stretched her neck and glanced at the hourglass in the corner, really wanting to ask the old lady, are you sure it's late now? Do you want her to come and serve you dinner tomorrow before dawn?
The whole room was eerily quiet. Second Aunt Tan was in embarrassment when the curtain was raised again, and Second Uncle Tan, his son and daughter-in-law entered one after another.
The old lady just lifted her body, and when she saw the person coming, she sat back without even thinking about it.
The children and grandchildren saluted her and sat down one by one.
Seeing her only old son drinking tea, the old lady couldn't wait to ask: "I heard that Nie Zong brought his whole family back to Beijing yesterday?"
Second Uncle Tan didn't answer his wife immediately, but turned his head to look at Second Aunt Tan. Did you tell the old lady?
Second Aunt Tan ignored his eyes, she was upset, this man didn't rest in her yard last night, if not, today's greetings wouldn't be the two of them in front of each other.
But she refused to take the blame, so she took up the old lady's words and said: "I have returned to Beijing. I heard that I entered the city at noon yesterday. There were hundreds of people accompanying me when I came."
While talking, Second Aunt Tan finally realized slowly why the old godmother's eyes were black and blue.
So it is!
It's really a small belly and chicken intestines that can't be put on the table!
Wearing a dragon robe doesn't look like a prince, even if a concubine is upright, it's hard to be a master!
The old lady doesn't know what Aunt Tan is thinking, or she might make her son divorce her in a fit of anger.
At this time, her cloudy eyes were full of jealousy, and she snorted coldly: "The pomp is quite big, but I don't know if it's a swollen face to pretend to be fat, or is it true gold that is not afraid of fire?"
Uncle Tan was drinking tea with his colleagues in the teahouse yesterday. He saw Tan Anjun's momentum entering the city. He rode a BMW horse and was surrounded by two hundred tall and mighty guards. impossible.
Originally, it was his second uncle who enjoyed all the glory, but now this wolf cub not only survived but also "returned to his hometown" in exile.
Are you angry?
However, he remembered something, raised his eyebrows, stared straight at the old lady above him, and said with a gleeful smile: "Mother, I think he is just for show, I heard yesterday that the wolf cub married his daughter-in-law." She's a country girl, her family's ancestors have been old farmers for eight generations, not to mention that it doesn't cost money to raise hundreds of guards, and his salary is not enough to support children."
