C107 (1/2)

Ever since Uncle came to find me and my sister, Grandmother has hurt us both deeply. Uncle and Aunt have even treated us like our real brothers, and Big Cousin is always caring for us like our own sister-in-law. We will definitely remember this in our hearts, and even though we have moved out of the Palace today, we will still pay our respects to Grandmother, Uncle, and Aunt as usual.

Mu Jinzhi was afraid that the Old Madam Zuo would be too sad, hence he promised her repeatedly.

”I heard that you had personally sent your wife to help clean the place up. I can feel reassured because you've cleaned up the place thoroughly, so you should go there yourself. In the end, it's only the two siblings that are living there, so I'm still a little worried.”

Left Lady did not dare refuse and immediately agreed to this task and called for the little girl to explain the situation to her. Then she said to Yu Xiuzhu: ”You will take care of the matters at home today.

Yu Xiuzhu immediately said: ”Mother, please take care, little sister rarely goes out, plus there are so many things happening today, I'm afraid that even if we go there, we will be in a mess, with mother's help, I think that she will be able to settle the matter soon.”

Old Madam Zuo listened by the side and said: ”That's right, my wife, you have to put in more effort to help her. Little monkey is still young, and has many things that you don't know how to take care of. Left Lady saying that she would go with him actually gave her elder a peace of mind.

There was a portion of it being Mu Rousang's dowry. Before Left Lady left, the two siblings would occasionally walk out of the main entrance and give orders to the coachman to head straight to Cat's Lane. The carriage passed by the Annan Gate, just as they were passing by the Man-Fu Fang. Left Lady lifted the carriage's curtain and pointed to an alley, ”This way of entering is the residence of the officials. The courtyard you all bought is right at the other end of this street.”

”Where the dukes live?” Mu Rousang subconsciously thought of Yang Zixuan, after entering the capital, she had never seen him again.

”The House of the Marquis of Loyalty is not in this alley, it's in another alley. The biggest house in this alley is the Wu Ling Hou clan.” Left Lady was an experienced person, how could she not know what she was thinking?

Mu Rousang looked out through the curtain of the carriage and saw that the alley was even wealthier than the three-man alley. When the carriage passed the alley, she saw that there were two sides of the White Jade Lion Town gates in front of the nearest house. There were shadows outside the door, which meant that they were probably gatekeepers.

”Aunt, I heard from brother that our new house is in the southern part of the country. I like that kind of small and exquisite courtyard very much.”

Left Lady laughed: ”You have the same preference as me, as expected of my niece, I am a citizen of Beijing, and have never been out before, but after I followed your uncle out, I was able to gain some opportunities to travel, and am not as strict in the south as in the north. I like the south a little more.”

Mu Rousang pursed her lips and laughed, it was obvious that her aunt was happy to see him out.

”Aunt, Little Sister, up ahead is the loyal alley. More than half of the loyal alley is inhabited by the Young's's people, and this alley's biggest home is the The House of the Marquis of Loyalty.”

”Aunt, didn't you say that we can only stay in the house of the Marquis?” Mu Rousang couldn't understand.

Left Lady asked her: ”Have you heard that when a person reaches the heavens, chickens and dogs rise?”

Mu Rousang was speechless. It turned out that as long as one clan came out, they could all live in this alley.

”The The House of the Marquis of Loyalty and several other marquis' residences came out from this alley, but their clansmen did not go through this alley. They could only go through the back door, walk around the back street, and then turn around to the main street.” Left Lady told her everything.

”In other words, there's a back street behind these Hou Mansion? And we're on the main street? ”

”Sister, you're right. The Loyal Lane area is where all the other clans live.” So this was how the Ying Shi Clan did things.

Fortunately, they had picked up early in the morning, and most of the noble officials had yet to go out. On the road, there were only some merchants' carriages, saw the sign that was hung high up in the sky by the Zuo Mansion, and saw that it was a convoy carrying luggage.

From the Zuo Mansion, they walked for around half an hour before arriving at Cat's Lane, which Mu Jinzhi had bought. Fu Rong and Fu An were both dressed in long robes, and when they saw the carriage stop at the door, they immediately brought a few servants wearing dark grey clothes to welcome them.

”Servant Fu An (Fu Rong) greets the young master, miss, greets uncle and wife!”

Fu An and Fu Rong were already married, and were no longer like the young boys from back then, Fu An was extremely skinny, looking at them, he could tell that the rich and powerful were coming for him, but he was full of wealth, smiling as he closed his eyes.

Left Lady got off the carriage and looked left and right. The road in Cat's Lane was a meter narrower than the one in San Hu Alley, so she nodded in satisfaction.

Through the door, he could see that under the shadow of the green stone sculpture Lotus Carp, there was a pool of water. It was spurted out from the mouth of the carp in the shadow of the wall, and under the shadow of the wall, there was a jade pool, where the water was crystal clear and there were a few purple water lotuses floating on top.

The dull wall lights seemed to come alive in an instant. It was already a little hot in early summer, and the cold feeling came from the front door. With the sound of flowing water, it was even more fresh and cool.
