54. The present Dufu in Suzhou
When several people arrived at the Jia Mansion in the prefect Jia Xu's house, it was already late at night.
At this time, Jia Mansion had prepared a dinner to entertain everyone.
After a while of full food and food, Du Buwang suddenly remembered that Liu Shuzhen and Li Fuxing had not stopped the news now, so he became worried and explained the situation between them with Jia Xu and his son.
Jia Xu naturally wanted to keep Zhu Er thanked him, and the third sister also wanted to accompany her second brother. Du Buwang had to hurry back to the inn and see if the two of them were back.
As a result, he ran back to the inn with sweat and showed no sign of returning to the room.
Then he came to the street to look for it again. At this time, the street was silent. Everyone in Suzhou City fell asleep early, and there was no trace of people there.
Du Buwang thought of coming to the Jia Mansion to find Zhu Er to help him find him, but knocked on the door of the Jia Mansion, and the housekeeper said that Mr. Zhu and Miss Zhu had already gone to the guest room to rest.
Du Buwuwu was afraid of disturbing their rest and had to leave and continued to search for them alone.
Du Buwang felt very uncomfortable at this moment, and felt like he had lost something in an instant. He wished that Liu Shuzhen would appear in front of him in an instant, but unfortunately, no one could be seen no matter how he looked for it.
Before he knew it, Du Buwang, who had searched the entire Suzhou City, finally became tired and fell asleep in the corner of the wall.
Until noon the next day, Du Buwang woke up and saw that he was actually lying on a bed. He looked around him and saw a strange, exquisitely decorated and elegant room.
At this time, a maid dressed up as a girl came to Du Buwang's bed and brought a basin of washing water, and then said to Du Buwang:
"Young Master, it's time to get up and wash up."
Du Buwang quickly got up. When he saw that he was naked and had no clothes on his face, he hurriedly hid back to the quilt with shame and said to the maid:
"What's going on? Where did I go for my clothes? Why am I here?"
The maid put down the basin in her hand, took out a new set of clothes from the side and said to Du Buying:
"Young Master, I'll change your clothes for you first."
After saying that, he was about to lift Du Buwang quilt with one hand.
When Du Buwang saw him, he quickly blushed and covered the quilt tightly, and said to the maid:
"Did you take off my clothes last night?"
The maid replied:
"Yes, I and another sister took you the shower last night."
When Du Buwang heard this, he looked embarrassed and then covered his head in the quilt and said:
"Can you go out? I'll do it myself."
When the maid heard this, she thought Du Buwang was going to drive him out of the mansion, so she immediately knelt on the ground and kept apologizing:
"Young Master, I don't know what Xiaoyi is wrong. Please don't drive me out of the mansion, okay?"
After all, Du Buying grew up and was served for the first time, and the first time she asked a girl to take a bath for herself.
At this time, I knew that the maid was called Xiaoyi, and when I saw that he had misunderstood me, I quickly explained:
"Sister Xiaoyi, you are right. Go out and get some breakfast for me first. I'm hungry."
Seeing that the young master was not rushing him to leave the mansion, Xiaoyi hurried out to make breakfast.
Du Buying took this opportunity to get dressed, wash up, and then thought about what happened last night.
After a while, the maid Xiaoyi came in with a plate of steaming pastries, followed by a maid who was about his age.
Du Buwang was naturally hungry, so he finished the pastry on the plate in two bites. He felt that it was not enough, so he asked Xiaoyi to do it again.
At this time, Du Buwang saw that the maid was very young and kept lowering her head, so he asked:
"Sister, what's your name?"
The young maid replied quickly:
"It's good if the young master calls me Xiao Xin, but Xiao Xin dares not be a young master's sister."
Du Buwang said:
"Why can't you call me sister?"
Xiao Xin replied again:
"You are our young master, how dare we be a young master and sister? Isn't it a violation of the rules?"
Du Buwang said:
"I don't like so much red tape, I like to call you sister."
Then at this time, Xiaoyi brought two plates of pastries. Du Buwang naturally put them in his stomach twice and felt full. So he asked the two of them why he was here.
It turned out that I was drunk next to the street last night, and I was discovered early in the morning. I saw that I was the first talented man last night.
Because the first prize of the talented man competition was awarded, there was a mansion that had been prepared long ago. Before dawn this morning, the mansion was named Du Caizi's Mansion.
Passers-by directly notified the people in the Caizi Mansion and carried Du Buwang back to the mansion.
After listening to it, Du Buwang realized that it was his own home, so he quickly left the room and looked around.
I only found that it was a large courtyard building with carved beams and painted walls everywhere, which were antique and exquisite. There were more than ten rooms in the halls and rooms, and there were also garden rockery in the courtyard, which was very comfortable.
Du Buwang thought again, this house was much bigger than thatched hut that he had lived in for so long.
If my parents were still here, how happy it would be to bring them here. An inexplicable sadness came in an instant.
At this time, five people dressed up in the house and a middle-aged woman came over, and said to Du Buying with Xiaoyi and Xiaoxin beside him:
"Slaves, congratulations to the young master for his happiness in the mansion."
Then he knelt down.
Du Buwang immediately helped everyone up one by one and asked several people:
"You are so polite. Don't kneel down at will in the mansion in the future. I hate red tape, okay?"
Then he asked everyone about their names and origins.
I realized that the middle-aged woman was a housekeeper named Lan Gu, and Xiaoyi and Xiaoxin were dedicated to serving her. I won’t talk about the others one by one.
After talking to the young master, everyone found out that the master Du Buwang was a good person who didn't like to show off his airs, didn't like etiquette, was a little shy, and was easy to get along with. So they happily went to work on their own affairs.
Du Buwang continued to appreciate his new home with Xiaoyi and Xiaoxin.
After a while, the doorkeeper came to report:
"It seems that the prefect came to celebrate outside."
Du Buwang quickly went out to greet him first.
Zhu Er and Sanmei ran in first and said hello to Du Buwang. After Qing finished drinking, she couldn't wait to visit Du Buwang's mansion.
Du Buwang invited the prefect Jia Xu and his son Jia Liang to the hall to have tea and chat.
Jia Xu said:
"Young Master Du feels that this family is still satisfied"!
Du Buwuwang replied:
"Of course I'm satisfied."
Jia Liang said on the side:
"This mansion belongs to the relatives of the traitor Liu Jin before. It was so brilliant before. Later, everyone in the mansion was arrested and has been empty until now. These maids were recruited by my father before the competition, so I'm satisfied."
Then he said to Xiaoyi beside Du Buwang:
"Xiao Yi will serve your Master Du well in the future."
Xiaoyi hurried over to salute and replied:
"Thank you for your words from Young Master Jia."
When Du Buwang heard that the house was Liu Jin's relatives before, he sighed instantly and said:
"I didn't expect that in ten years, this house was actually in my hands. I must work hard to make this house glorious again, but it is just the glory of justice."
At this time, the prefect said:
"Young Master Du is really ambitious. I wonder what Mr. Du plans to take next year's palace examination."
Du Buwuwang replied:
"Let's go with the flow. Anyway, my fame has become much weaker for me now, so I will try my best to find opportunities to read books. Thank you for your concern."
Jia Xu replied:
"Young Master is really indifferent to fame and fortune. I have to take more of my incompetent son before the palace examination."
As he said that, he looked at Jia Liang beside him.
Du Buwang quickly said:
"The young master is very talented and knowledgeable. We will be friends in the future, so why should we take him?"
At this time, Jia Liang quickly got up and said to Du Buwang:
"I will learn from Mr. Du from now on."
Du Buwuwang replied:
"Okay, but I'll go to Yingtian Mansion in a while."
Jia Liang said:
"Okay, I'm going there too."
Seeing that his son and Du Buwang had a great time, Jia Xu quietly returned home, and he signaled Xiao Yi to disturb the two of them because he left.
Shortly after Jia Xu left, the servant guarding the gate suddenly ran over, holding a dagger in his hand, with a piece of paper inserted on it, which read:
Li Fuxing and Liu Shuzhen are guests in our Taihu Savior Gang. If Mr. Du and Mr. Zhu have nothing to do, they can come to Taihu Gang to talk tomorrow.
At this time, Zhu Er and Sanmei were also beside him. After watching, the few of them were shocked and secretly screamed that something was wrong.
