Chapter 220 Leaving the Manor and Heading to the County
Butler Li De and Nanny Ji followed behind, and the couple smiled at each other.
How many years has it been since we last saw such a scene?
Ever since Miss Baozhen passed away, the Duke, the old lady, the first master, the first lady, the second master and the second lady have not come to this Banshan manor many times.
Miss Baozhen's daughter has never been here.
Now, the old lady, the first lady, the second lady and the eldest daughter come to stay in this farm for a while.
Seeing them talking and laughing happily, Li De and his wife felt very gratified.
The old lady walked into the main hall with her two daughters-in-law and granddaughter and sat down. Immediately, servants brought them warm water and a clean towel.
They washed their hands and faces, and drank the tea that the servants had just prepared and brought to them. Suddenly, they felt their fatigue from the journey was alleviated a lot.
Soon, the servants brought the food.
Chicken, duck, fish, meat, vegetables and fruits are all from this farm and are absolutely fresh.
The cook here also has good skills.
At this time, the old lady, the first lady, the second lady and Leng Rongyue really felt a little hungry.
The lunch was very delicious.
After sitting for a while after dinner and drinking a cup of tea, the First Lady, the Second Lady and Leng Rongyue were afraid that the old lady would be tired after sitting in the carriage for several hours, so they sent her back to her room to take a nap.
The old lady was being served by Nanny Yu, Meiying and Zhuying, so the first and second ladies led Leng Rongyue out of the room.
Leng Rongyue looked at the four people in green, purple, blue and green standing by and said to the first and second wives, "Aunt, second aunt, you two should go back to your room and take a rest.
Yue'er took the four of them out for a walk first, to the county town in the middle of the mountain."
"Are you going out today? Why don't you take a break today and go tomorrow.
You can take a walk in the garden in the afternoon to relax. Everything will start from tomorrow." said the eldest lady.
Leng Rongyue smiled and shook her head, “Yue’er is not tired, let’s do it as soon as possible.
Since we are already in Banshan County, let’s start our investigation from Banshan County.
The eldest and second aunts should go back to their rooms and have a rest. It won’t be long before someone comes to visit!
When the time comes, the two aunts can just send someone to send them back."
After hearing what Leng Rongyue said, the first and second wives also understood.
"Hmm! I think Leng Xianqi is crazy, he is so shameless that he can send someone to find you!
Don’t worry, you don’t need to show up when the time comes, your aunt will just send them away!
Humph! What are you thinking about?
Do you remember that you are the eldest daughter of Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion at this time?
When I think of you at this time, I just want to push you to the front to block the limelight for them.
That Leng Xian is really a good father!" The second wife said angrily.
“We don’t care what happens to the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion.
Since you want to go out...then go ahead, your second aunt and I are in the manor." The eldest lady said calmly.
Leng Rongyue nodded, "Thank you, two aunts!
Yue'er went to change her clothes first, and then went out with Qingyi and the others."
"Okay, be careful about everything." The eldest lady instructed.
"Yue'er knows!" Leng Rongyue responded, and took Qingyi, Ziyi and other four people to the house where she lived.
She took off the phoenix hairpin on her head and let her hair down. Leng Rongyue asked Ziyi to comb her hair into the simplest style commonly seen in the countryside, with only a jade hairpin inserted in her hair.
She took off her brocade and embroidered dress and put on a light blue cotton dress.
Leng Rongyue did some simple disguise for herself, otherwise her face would be too eye-catching!
Qing Yi, Zi Yi, Lan Yi and Lu Yi also made some changes to their faces because they were going to go out with Leng Rongyue.
When going out, Leng Rongyue picked two lavender chrysanthemums from the flowers on the roadside and pinned them on her hair.
At this moment, Leng Rongyue looked like a country girl in the fields.
But upon closer inspection, one can still see her innate fresh temperament that cannot be concealed.
Qingyi drove out a most inconspicuous carriage from the manor, which was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.
Leng Rongyue, Purple Clothes, Blue Clothes and Green Clothes sat in the carriage, and they headed straight towards the county town halfway up the mountain.
On the official road to the county town in the middle of the mountain, there were horse-drawn carriages, mule-drawn carriages, donkey-drawn carriages, ox-drawn carriages, and pedestrians on the ground.
It's quite lively with people coming and going.
Leng Rongyue lifted the car window beside her and looked out with interest.
Ever since she traveled to Jingyue Country, she has seen the capital city both during the day and at night.
Today is the first time I have left the capital and come to a place dozens of miles outside the capital.
This was the first time I had seen the scenery of the countryside and the county town.
In Leng Rongyue's eyes, the lives of the people in and outside the capital seemed extremely fresh and interesting.
Looking at the clattering ox cart and the trot-ta ...
Leng Rongyue thought, that should be quite interesting!
Banshan Manor is not far from Banshan County. After a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of Banshan County.
After passing through the city wall, you have entered the county town.
At the city gate, people come in and out in an orderly manner.
There were two officers armed with swords patrolling and guarding the city gate. They neither collected any city gate tax nor took advantage of their power to oppress the people.
It seems that the effectiveness of the officials in Banshan County in governing the local area is truly remarkable!
But think about it, this place is only a few dozen miles away from the capital, and the officials serving here are extremely cautious and dare not make any mistakes, otherwise their mistakes will be reported to the emperor within half a day!
