Chapter 369 Ancestral Confucian Mansion

They were not familiar with this house, and they did not dare to break around and fear that they would alarm the people of Xixia, so they simply hid in the stable and waited for darkness. There was only an old groom waiting for the horses. They were deaf and dazed and couldn't take a closer look at the cart. The smell of the stable was really scent.

The two of them shrank down at the bottom of the car, yanking their sleeves to cover their noses.

After finally getting dark, he came out of the carriage and looked around to move his muscles and bones. Another scout named Sun Hao, who whispered to her,

"Brother Mu, I see that this stable is not far from the outer courtyard wall. When I pass through the garden and climb over the courtyard wall, I can go to the outer street!"

Mu Hongluan nodded and said,

"When the weather gets darker, we will find an opportunity to go out..."

Look around and say,

"Brother Sun, I heard from the guard that this place should be a Zuru Mansion. Zuru among the people of Xixia is considered a high-ranking official. If you come in, why not find a way to inquire about this place?"

They entered the city to find out the situation in the Xixia royal city. Naturally, they could not return empty-handed if they could enter the mansion of a high-ranking official.

Sun Hao thought about it and nodded,

"This is also an opportunity, so I have to inquire..."

Touching his stomach again and said,

"You can also find an opportunity to get something to eat!"

Mu Hongluan nodded. All the people who could be sent out were masters in scouts, but no matter how powerful they were, they could not withstand the bulge. With their skills and skills, they could make some food without realizing it, which would naturally be a piece of cake.

After discussing, the two of them carefully looked at the terrain and decided to look for the kitchen first and then the owner's living place.

The people of Xixia admired the culture of the Central Plains and their buildings were mostly imitated by the Central Plains. They looked at it and found a large kitchen. Most of the mansions were divided into several kitchens, one was a large kitchen used by the servants and a small kitchen used by the owners.

The owner's small kitchen has a fixed number of things, and they won't touch them, but although the things in the large kitchen are rough and unpalatable, they have a lot of things, and it's not obvious if they are less.

The two of them sneaked in and found some food, so they ate cold water and had a full stomach. When they came out, they looked for their owner's daily life.

This is easy to find, just look for a taller pavilion and you will know it.

The two found a small, dark and quiet building. When they looked up, they found that it was a library, which contained not many books. Mu Hongluan made a fire note and flipped it out casually, but saw that most of them were written in Chinese, and the pages were very new and there was no sign of reading. I think that when the owner built a library here, it was probably just Yong Fengya and pretending.

He then carefully put the book back to its original place, and went up to the second floor with Sun Hao. The two of them went up to the second floor and looked around, and saw that there were lights in several pavilions in the back house.

The two discussed and decided to take action separately. After the matter was completed, they returned to the library to meet.

The two of them went downstairs and rushed backwards. Sun Hao looked for the highest place, but Mu Hongluan went to the backyard. Not to mention Sun Hao, only Mu Hongluan went to the backyard.

I saw a delicate building, which was built in a unique way. The pink curtains were hanging down and the copper bells were hanging on the eaves. It looked like the place where my daughter lived.

He looked at the open window on the second floor, jumped and grabbed the person along the window and hung it on his head. He slowly poked his head out to look inside, but he saw that it was indeed a beautiful boudoir with lights in the room, but there was no one there.

Mu Hongluan thought about using force on her arms, and her body shrank and turned over and entered.

I looked around and saw that all the arrangements of this boudoir were like the daughters of the Han people. The embroidered couch, the low stool of bronze mirrors, the powder box of the dressing table, the comb of the gold hairpin, and the magpies climbing the branches were all made of the most fashionable materials in Lin'an. If she hadn't known it was in Xixia, she would have suspected that she was in the room of a lady in Lin'an City.

It seems that the owner here is very capable.

Before the founding of the Western Xia Kingdom, it was a wild barbarian who followed the water and grass and felt hair and knotted ropes to record things. Later, because of learning the Central Plains ritual system and learning the Confucianism of the Central Plains, they abandoned the bad habits of the barbarians overnight, followed the Han people in the Central Plains everywhere, built high-rise buildings, tiled houses and living places, and ate tiled pottery. This was only a privilege that the Western Xia nobles could enjoy, and ordinary people also lived a very difficult life.

Even in the Xingqing City of Xixia, there are tall buildings and pavilions, the markets where the poor live only have yellow mud walls, which are low and humid. Not only is the huge gap between the rich and the poor in Xixia, but the Xixia nobles are also in the sky and the underground than the Shangdaning nobles. Such a mansion is not as good as the Puguo Duke's Mansion, and even the Dongling Prince's Mansion. However, in the remote northwest, the most fashionable materials and tricks in Lin'an are available. I think the owner of this mansion must be very capable among the Xixia nobles.

It seems that this time I was hit by accident!

While looking around, I heard footsteps outside. Someone came in. Mu Hongluan looked around and then flashed and turned behind the screen, looking out through the gap in the screen.

Soon after, three women came in. The one who came in front was a Xixia woman dressed as a girl. The girl walked in and stepped aside. The woman who came in behind was beautiful. Although she was not as delicate as a Jiangnan woman and had white and black hair, she had the wild beauty of a foreign woman.

When the woman came in, she frowned, as if she was worried. She came over to sit at the table and sighed with her elbow. The girl who followed her said a few words of Xixia. Mu Hongluan learned a lot with Changqing these days, and could barely understand that it was the girl who advised her master not to worry.

The woman sighed,

"How could we not be worried? Xi Fengyan has now led his troops out. I don't know when we will come back, but our marriage will be delayed again!"

Who is this woman?

If Si Ya was here, she would have recognized her. She was Su Xuwa who talked to Xi Fengyan in the mutton shop that day. But at this time, Mu Hongluan naturally couldn't recognize her, but she heard what she said and thought to herself.

"Xi Fengyan? Have you led your troops out?"

Where did you go? How many people did you get?

Should I take someone to Xiping or look for Changqing and the others?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but move forward two steps. I wanted to listen carefully, but I could only listen to the girl beside me.

"Don't worry, my master, your marriage was decided since childhood, and there will be no change. Now, just wait a while, and when my son-in-law makes military achievements, my king will be rewarded when he comes back. The master will definitely be very glorious when he gets married!"

"well!"

The woman sighed after hearing this.

"Why... I didn't feel any joy in my heart when I heard you speak like this? I didn't think before, why did I feel that he became more and more alienated to me since he came back from Xining, and he didn't even meet him when he left. Today, I went to his house to ask about the top affairs, but I didn't even leave a word for me..."

When he spoke, he looked very resentful and his tone was very sad. He lowered his head and his frown furrowed his eyebrows, which made me feel pity and pity.

When the two girls heard this, they looked at each other and persuaded them,

"Master, don't worry. I think it must be because of the urgent military situation, so I left hastily. I heard outsiders say that the army of Daning has already captured Xiliang City and is now attacking Xiping. The situation is very critical. The day before yesterday, Feng Rong's army led the troops out to aid Xiping!"

After hearing this, Mu Hongluan felt aroused her heart and leaned against the screen. The woman smiled and said,

"Don't listen to rumors outside. Today I have asked my father that the Daning army that attacked Xiping Prefecture was no longer supported. Xi Fengyan and his team led the army out to block the other Daning army. I think with his ability, good news will be heard in a few days!"

Mu Hongluan's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this, but she saw the woman standing up and yawning,

"I'm tired and want to rest!"

As he said that, he turned around and walked towards the screen. When Mu Hongluan saw her coming, she looked back and flashed into the small clean room beside her. However, she didn't expect that the woman took off her clothes behind the screen, and another servant brought water in outside, and it seemed that she was going to take a shower.

Mu Hongluan heard the ears of the outsider getting closer and closer. She looked up at the beam of the house. She jumped on it and put it on the beam of the house with force. When her legs shrank, she went up to the beam of the house.

Hiding in the shadows that cannot be shined by candlelight, the woman in her head was already wearing a loose dress and untied her belt, revealing her beautiful and graceful body, slowly walking into the bathtub.

"call……"

The woman slapped her body into the bathtub, but she breathed comfortably. Mu Hongluan quietly poked her head out and looked at it, and said in her heart,

"It turns out that Xi Fengyan actually has a fiancée! She is still such a big beauty. Look... she is really protruding in front and back, and she is really very seductive!"

Even as a woman, she is also a beautiful woman who is fascinating to the whole country. But when she looked at this woman, she couldn't help but secretly praise her. Women from different races were born different from Han women. Although her eyebrows were not as delicate as Han women and her skin was not as smooth and delicate as Han women, her figure was tall and her confusing parts were much more delicate than Han women, and she could make men fascinated.

It seems that this woman is infatuated with Xi Fengyan. She looks good-looking, but I don’t know why Xi Fengyan doesn’t like her!

Thinking of this, a sudden thought flashed in my mind.

It seems that his own girl has something to do with Xi Fengyan. Doesn’t Xi Fengyan like such a beauties and actually fall in love with her own girl?

Could it be that Si Ya is not wishful thinking? Are these two people still in love?

Thinking of this place, I was shocked and looked down at the woman below.

"A woman looks down on her like this, and she actually looks down on Si Ya. Is that Xi Fengyan blind?"

It’s not that she looked down on her own girls, but that she was not sure how she was biased when she gave birth to a baby. She was the only one in the family who was born like a grandmother, and her face was really good. The other children were just like a middle-aged person. Especially the Si Ya was born white and fat. It would be fine if she said she was silly and cute. If she said she was a beauty like this, even her sister would shake her head and say she was ashamed of herself.

She was just thinking about it, and she was in a daze for a moment and forgot to pay attention. At this moment, the woman raised her head and closed her eyes and splashed water. When she opened her eyes, she suddenly saw a pair of eyes staring at her.
