Chapter 455 visit
Chuci and his party left Shi Liang’s house and first sent Di Gongming back to Wangyue Tower.
Di Gongming wanted to inquire about the literature about the ancient Xianguo, so he couldn’t leave Wangyue Tower. The Songs of Chu allowed the drunk Taoist to stay, which was considered a reference.
Walking out of Wangyue Tower, Chu Ci asked Leng Ruxue aloud.
“Ruxue, do you still remember the person who took the right to hire immigrants from Xianzhu Country at the underground auction?”
Leng Ruxue pondered for a moment, and said, “If I remember correctly, it should be Tan Chenglu’s family members of the Xiancheng Law Office!”
Chu Ci nodded and said, “Okay, let’s visit Master Tan!”
Tan Chenglu’s mansion is not on Shizi Street, but on a street not far from Shizi Street.
Chuci hired a carriage, turned a few turns along the street, and came to the gate of Tan Mansion.
“Call!”
The handlebars stopped the carriage and said aloud, “Several adults, it’s already here.”
Chu Ci jumped out of the carriage and looked up at Tan Mansion.
On the door of the confinement, the vermilion lacquer has peeled off slightly.
There are few carriages in front of the door.
It can be seen that the family background of Tan Mansion is not considered favorable, and few people come to visit.
Stepping to the door, Chu Ci banged the door.
boom! boom! boom!
Squeak —
Within a moment, the door of confinement was opened from the inside.
An old man with gray hair came out from the door.
“Who are you guys?”
The old man looked carefully at the few people in Chuci.
Chuci folded his hands and said, “Come to visit Master Tan!”
“Creative place?!”
The old man was startled when he heard the words, and then nodded and said, “Thanks to your sir, wait a moment in the side room, let the old man tell the owner of the house.”
Chu Ci stretched out his hand and smiled, “The old gentleman is light.”
The old man led a few people from Chuci to a side room, and after settling in, he turned and left.
The back house of Tan Mansion.
Tan Chenglu was sitting opposite a beautiful woman with a dignified face.
“Madam, I just have a happy event to tell you!”
Tan Chenglu’s eyes shone with joy.
The beautiful woman looked at Tan Chenglu suspiciously, and asked aloud, “What makes her husband so happy?”
Tan Chenglu took the beautiful woman’s hand and said, “In a few days, we will be able to move to Cross Street to live!”
“really?!”
The beautiful woman showed a look of surprise on her face, “This is what His Royal Highness Xian said personally?”
Shizijie is not an ordinary place. If you want to settle down on Shizijie, you must go through the approval of the king.
The legal post held by Tan Chenglu is just a small official position in Xiancheng, which is far from the level of King Xian!
On weekdays, Tan Chenglu rarely saw King Xian’s face, let alone get Xian Wang’s affirmation.
So beautiful women would be so shocked.
“it is true!”
Tan Chenglu showed excitement on her face and said excitedly, “Just this morning, I received a handwritten letter from His Royal Highness Xian!”
“His Royal Highness said that I can move into the cross street to live in the next day!”
“Other than that, all the fees will be paid by Xianwang’s Mansion!”
The beautiful woman also showed excitement on her face when she heard this.
“Very good!”
“Husband, Your Royal Highness Xian has treated you so well, you must repay Your Royal Highness Xian well!”
Tan Chenglu nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice, “The king treats me as a scholar, and I should repay it with a scholar!”
The beautiful woman was relieved when she heard Tan Chenglu’s answer.
Sure enough, I didn’t misunderstand the wrong person, and my husband was still the one who spoke and kept his word before!
“but···”
The beautiful woman’s excitement calmed down, and another doubt rose in her heart.
“Husband, will this matter be a bit weird?”
Tan Chenglu was startled when she heard the words, “How to be weird?”
The beautiful woman furrowed her brows slightly, and said for a moment, “My husband has been in the legal office for several years, why did His Royal Highness Xian Wang suddenly allow her to move into Cross Street?”
The beautiful woman glanced at Tan Chenglu, and then said, “Don’t mind if your concubine has something to say.”
“Although my husband has worked hard for many years, he hasn’t made any outstanding achievements.”
“And even if it’s a matter of seniority, shouldn’t your husband be awarded this honor?”
As soon as the beautiful woman’s voice fell, Tan Chenglu froze in place.
“Husband?”
The beautiful woman asked tentatively, “Are you not angry?”
Tan Chenglu returned to her senses, looking at the worried lady and said, “Madam, I’m fine.”
“I just···”
Tan Chenglu smiled bitterly and shook her head, “I just don’t dare to think about it!”
After speaking, Tan Chenglu held the beautiful woman’s hands.
“Madam, isn’t it what you have always expected to be able to live in Cross Street?”
“Now that His Royal Highness King Xian has agreed, what are you still thinking about doing?”
A look of worry flashed in the eyes of the beautiful woman, and she murmured, “The concubine is just afraid…”
Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!
The knock on the door rang, interrupting the beautiful woman.
“Master, ma’am.”
“A man and three women came to visit just now.”
“That man claimed to be a bronze medal in the Department of Emotions, and the Songs of the South!”
The voice of the old housekeeper came from outside the door.
Tan Chenglu was shocked when she heard the words, with a look of surprise on her face.
“How come back to the mansion?!”
The beautiful woman stretched out her hand to push Tan Chenglu, and said, “My husband, don’t worry about this for now.”
“Hurry up and let them in!”
When Tan Chenglu heard the reminder, she came back to her senses.
“Yep!”
“Fu Bo, you let them in!”
The old butler heard Tan Chenglu’s instructions and replied aloud, “Yes!”
“I will notify them now!”
The footsteps of the old housekeeper gradually moved away, and Tan Chenglu and the beautiful woman in the room also straightened their clothes and sat on the seats.
Partial room.
Several people from Chuci waited for the tea time, and the old butler stepped in.
“Several adults!”
The old housekeeper said, “My master invites some of you to the main hall!”
Several people from Chuci got up and followed the old housekeeper to the hall of the back house.
“Bronze Medal in the Department of Emotions, Chu Ci, I’ve seen Master Tan!”
Chuci came to the lobby and saw Tan Chenglu sitting in the chair.
“I take the liberty to come to visit, and I hope Master Tan will not blame it.”
Tan Chenglu hurriedly stood up when he heard the words, and stretched out her hand to indicate, “Where is Lord Chu, the Lord has never been far to welcome him, and I am the one who should blame.”
A smile appeared on Chu Ci’s face and said, “Master Tan, let’s not be polite, let’s talk about business!”
“Okay.” Tan Chenglu was startled, unexpectedly Chu Ci was so direct.
“Sir, please sit down!”
Tan Chenglu invited a few people from Chuci to sit down and turned to the beautiful woman and said, “Madam, go and make a pot of good tea for the adults!”
The beautiful woman nodded, got up and left the room.
Tan Chenglu’s eyes turned around a few people, and finally fell on Chu Ci.
“Master Chu.”
“I don’t know why I came here this time?”
Tuk! Tuk!
Chu Ci knocked on the table with his fingers, and said, “I’ll wait for Madam Zun to come back.”
“this···”
Tan Chenglu was taken aback, but she didn’t expect it to be related to her wife.
“Also.”
“Master Chu waits for a while, Madam will go back.”
