Chapter 95 Dilapidated mansion

Listening to her thanks, Ning Nanyou frowned inadvertently, his mood was very complicated and chaotic at this moment.

The carriage moved and walked towards Linhe City again.

On the way, Ning Nanyou suddenly emerged from the window and ordered Lu Xun, "Sort someone to bring his mother and Sister Jun to the command house."

Jiang Chengjia heard the name Jun Jie from him again, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but stagnate.

"Erlang...I haven't asked yet who is the sister in front of the inn today?" She couldn't help but ask.

Ning Nanyou glanced at her and said as usual, "He is the wife of former Grand Marshal Wei Cao, named Li Xiangjun."

Wei Cao's wife - Li Xiangjun?

Jiang Chengjia recalled it carefully before she remembered this person.

This woman was the daughter of Dongqin Gong, the mother of Emperor Ning Nanquan, who died in his early years, the mother's cousin of Empress Rouyi of Emperor An of Wei. She was named Princess of Nanyang County for her meritorious rescue. She was granted the title of Princess of Nanyang County and was supremely honored. At the age of fifteen and after the ceremony, she married the Grand Sima Wei Cao. Later, Wei Cao died in the battle between the Emperor of Wei and the King of Huai. Wei Cao died for Emperor Wei, and because Li Xiangjun was originally the princess of Nanyang County, the Emperor of Wei named him Lady Xiang.

She didn't expect that Ning Nanyou had any contact with the widow of the old minister of Emperor Wei, and was about to ask, but she didn't expect that the carriage would stop here. Ji Xianzhi said to the heretic, "Lord, the commander's mansion has arrived."

Ning Nanyou nodded softly, bent down and lifted the curtain, and got out of the carriage.

Jiang Chengjia suppressed the question in his heart and got out of the car, but heard Lu Xun cursing and saying, "What is Gu An's mind? Your Majesty ordered him to allocate a mansion to the Lord... Now this room... what is it?"

She looked up at the room in front of her.

This is a flat, low and dilapidated bungalow courtyard. She followed Ning Nanyou's footsteps into the hall and arrived at the main hall only one or two meters from the door of the mansion. The inside of the hall was dark and wet. It was rainy and the smell of mold came from it. Several green tiles on the corridor were lying on it, and the ground was sewage flowing across the mud.

There are ten rooms in the entire courtyard. The house is not sunny all year round, it is dim and damp, the wall has long been peeling off, and the wall is uneven. The tiles on the roof are seriously damaged. If the Tianhe breaks, it is afraid that the entire house will be flooded.

Such a dilapidated house is not even as good as an inn.

Jiang Chengjia looked at Ning Nanyou's face becoming gloomy little by little, and stood by and didn't know what to say.

"Gu An... is really unreasonable. Can you put such a house for the Lord?" Ji Xianzhi couldn't help but curse. Gu An came to visit the day before yesterday and said that he had settled the command house. He also specially sent a servant to check it out. The servant clearly said that the house was still good, but when he came here today, it was so dilapidated. There were thirty people in the whole mansion, and there were eleven rooms in the yard. How could he live there?

He was so angry that he said, "Lord, I'll go to the government to find Gu An!" He said that, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ning Nanyou with his arms.

I heard him calmly say, "Forget it, I think...this is Your Majesty's will."

Ning Nanyou stood in the main courtyard, staring at the two rooms in the South Courtyard and said, "Uncle Ji, how much money do we have left for this time?"

Ji Xianzhi replied: "About 600 hu of left..."

"Then you can repair the two rooms in the South Courtyard so that your mother and sister Jun can live in. The rest of the rooms can be prepared for a little bit." Ning Nanyou instructed, pointing to a room in the North Courtyard, "The bungalow in the North Courtyard will be my master bedroom and my wife, and the room to the west of the North Courtyard will be used as guest rooms, so you don't have to worry about roof repairs. The other seven rooms, one as storage rooms, two as residences for you and Lu Xun, and the remaining four rooms will allow six servants and maids to sleep in one room. The cotton soft pillows will be distributed as items. Thirty-six hu of taxes presented on the fief are deducted every month as subsidy, so that they can all eat and wear warmth."

"Lord, your Majesty is too much this time?" Lu Xun said dissatisfied.

"Since you come, you will be at ease." Ning Nanyou replied in an extremely calm manner, as if he didn't care about such a simple environment. "My mother and Sister Jun's house are extremely important, and Uncle Ji must move faster."

Ji Xianzhi finally suppressed his uneasy, but when he saw his lord urge, he nodded quickly, "The house in the South Courtyard is the best. Just tidy up the inside. I guess it will be cured in one afternoon. But... the house in the north is very dilapidated. How do you rest, lord? You still have injuries."

Ning Nanyou ignored it and pulled Jiang Chengjia to the north room.

Before Ji Xianzhi could ask, he heard the servant in front of the door call, "Master Ji, Mrs. Xiang and Mrs. Cao have arrived."

Then I heard a delicate exclaim from outside, "Ah! Why is this mansion so simple?"

He turned around and saw Cao Xiu and Li Xiangjun standing in front of the threshold, frowned with long eyebrows, staring at the dilapidated house in front of him with an incredible look on his face.

So he hurriedly came up, stepped over the threshold, and helped the weak Cao Xiu walk in slowly.

"Didn't it mean that Your Majesty has transferred a mansion to make a bungalow? How could it be so simple?" Cao Xiu frowned and asked Ji Xianzhi's arrival.

"The lord said... Maybe this is what Your Majesty meant." Ji Xianzhi said helplessly.

Cao Xiu's silent voice took a moment, and his beautiful eyes were filled with disgust, "I'm afraid it's not just the intention of Your Majesty."

Ji Xianzhi was immediately stunned, knowing who Cao Xiu said, and he lowered his eyes and did not say anything.

Li Xiangjun, who was standing beside him, comforted him, "Auntie, this house is indeed a bit simple, but it may not be a bad thing for Zhaodi."

Cao Xiu looked sideways and said in surprise: "Yushuang can see something better from it?"

"Now Brother Zhao has a thousand eyes staring at him, for fear of making a mistake. Living in such a shabby house seems to be unpretentious. He is indeed coming to quell the rebellion here with the will of holy people."

Her words were indeed reasonable, and Cao felt a little relieved, and he was not so disgusted with this place.

"Yushuang is better. Well, just live with me." Cao Xiu patted Li Xiangjun's hand that had been holding her arm and said gently.

Li Xiangjun smiled intimately, looked around and looked around to find Ning Nanyou's figure. After a while, there was no one around, and he said strangely, "Uncle Ji, where is Brother Zhao?"

Ji Xianzhi replied: "The lord and the young lady went to the North Courtyard."

Li Xiangjun was stunned, and became strange on his face. He smiled and said, "I blame me. I always think that Brother Zhao is not married, but I forgot that there is a little lady by his side."

"Auntie, I'll accompany you to the house first?" She glanced at the south courtyard for a brief glance, hugged Cao Xiu's arm with a calm expression and said with a gentle smile.

At this time in the North Courtyard, Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nanyou stood in front of a dilapidated house with air leakage, feeling a little worried.

He looked at the little girl beside him and couldn't help asking, "A Luomo was scared by the dilapidation of this room?"

Jiang Chengjia was stunned and turned to smile and said, "No, I used to be my brother and I wandered around and lived in many such houses... I was not scared. I was just surprised... Erlang, a commander of the army... at least, represents the face of the royal family, so why was he arranged to such a place?"

Ning Nanyou sneered, "Your Majesty has long been disgusted with me. In his eyes, I am not my family. My father is the powerful regent, and he has been suppressing the orthodox for many years. It is a blessing that Your Majesty did not try to kill me here."

He held Jiang Chengjia's hand and said a little apologetically, "I feel wronged that you are suffering here with me."

The little girl shook her head like a rattle, with a smile in her eyes flashing with obsidian eyes, "No... On the contrary, I think this place is good. Although Luoyang has many wealth, it is not comfortable. I am not a girl who has been raised in the boudoir since I was a child. I am used to being rough, but I think this place is more friendly."

Ning Nanyou rubbed her soft hair, hugged her shoulders and said, "I think we need to repair this place ourselves."

He looked around, looked at the piles of old wooden boards in front of the house in the South Courtyard, then went into the house and looked at the air leakage on the hanging beam. He thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, I'll ask the capable servants in the mansion to come here to repair the roof."

The two stood in the house and looked at the dim and damp foundation and the shabby bed wardrobe, smiled at each other, rolled up their sleeves to prepare for tidying up.

Ning Nanyou moved the old wooden box with dust and accumulated strength before he could feel his chest clear and dizzy in front of him. Jiang Chengjia, who was working neatly and smartly beside him, saw this and hurriedly supported him and couldn't help but curse, "Erlang, don't show off."

He looked at her with a funny look and raised his eyebrows, "This suitcase is so heavy, can you move it?"

Jiang Chengjia said angrily, "Don't underestimate me. I used to pull the plowing cows when I was working in the farmland."

The little girl acted in one go, used her strength to pick up the suitcase, rushed out of the house and put it in the yard, standing in front of the threshold, and turned around proudly to look at Ning Nanyou.

I saw the man with a tall crown and handsome face, wiping his head and smiling, applauding and doting, "It's indeed amazing."

Jiang Chengjia grinned and smiled silly. But she heard Ning Nanyou burst out laughing for some reason. She was stunned and felt at a loss.

"What did Junhou suddenly laugh at?"

Ning Nanyou walked towards her slowly with his hands in his arms, pointed at the black and helpless piece of black on her chest and said helplessly, "A Luo is really powerful to move such a heavy wooden box, but why don't you pay attention to the dust on it? Look at you?"

Jiang Chengjia lowered his head and looked at his chest, and his snow-white collar was dyed with a layer of black stuff.

"Ah! I've obviously taken the box a little farther away, why is it still stuck?" She hurriedly patted with her hands. But she didn't see the dust on her hand clearly, but she patted the clothes a little darker.

Ning Nanyou shook his head helplessly, stepped forward and grabbed her hand, took off the robe outside for her, and shook it hard twice with her shoulders.

Fortunately, the outer robe was weaved with gauze. When it shook hard, the dust was dissipated, but a musty smell surged out with the slap.

Jiang Chengjia covered his nose, then opened his little hand to cover Ning Nanyou's mouth and nose to prevent him from choking.
