Chapter 124

The Vulgar Housekeeper

Fengyuan, two powerful and powerful words, silently tell people where this place is.

This is the first time Hu You came to the mansion of a nobleman. The red walls and green tiles and flying eaves bring him not only the beauty of the building itself, but also the power represented behind the building.

The carriage stopped in front of Fengyuan Gate. It was not that it could not drive in, but that Hu You asked. He wanted to use his feet to feel the wealth that power could bring.

Stepping on the atrium road paved with bluestone slabs, the towering trees on the roadside almost covered half of the sky. Before you could enter the main hall, you could already feel the extraordinary momentum coming to your face.

"Sister, your house is so beautiful." Hu You couldn't help but sigh. This is the embodiment of strength. Without strong strength, who can have such a courtyard like Suzhou gardens in this imperial capital, where every inch of land is valuable. Not to mention this courtyard, even if an ordinary person does not eat or drink for the rest of his life, he cannot afford a red bean tree on the roadside for viewing.

Ximen Yufeng glared at Hu You and corrected: "This is also your home."

"Yes, yes, my family." Hu You nodded repeatedly: "I'm not used to it for a while."

Walking through the towering red doubin, a lotus flower appeared in front of Hu You. The white lotus flower in the lily bloomed brightly, and the fragrance of flowers swayed. Taking a deep breath makes people feel refreshed.

"It looks very much like the fragrance on my sister." Hu You murmured.

The price of this is that I have eaten another chestnut. It doesn't hurt, but it seems very loud in this quiet environment.

"I have said it many times, don't eat my sister's tofu." Ximen Yufeng took back her jade hand and said angrily. Although she was taught a lesson in her words, she could not hide her pampering for Hu You in her eyes. If it weren't for this, Hu You wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.

Hu You touched his head with great shame and grinned: "I didn't eat tofu, I'm telling the truth."

Seeing Ximen Yufeng glaring again, Hu You dared to jump away, ran to the side of Hedian, picked a lotus and ran back to please him, "Sister, I'll treat you to lotus seeds."

Men Yufeng's eyes became gentle, and she touched Hu You's head and said, "Thank you."

"I'll help you peel it." Hu You peeled out a lotus seed and put it on Ximen Yufeng's hand and said, "You can eat it, it's delicious. By the way, don't eat lotus heart, that's bitter."

Looking at Ximen Yufeng's teeth like jade shells and gently opening lotus seeds, Hu You couldn't help but smile proudly.

"elder sister."

"Um?"

"Why is Fengyuan here? Is it your name?"

Ximen Yufeng did not answer Hu You's question. She walked a few steps forward, sat down in front of a stone chair beside the lotus, silently looking at the mud-out lotus flowers.

Hu You knew that Ximen Yufeng must have remembered something, so she put away her laughter, sat down beside Ximen Yufeng, and threw the lotus seeds in her hand into the water from time to time. Several red Baja fish became interested in Hu You's lotus seeds, and they grew on their heads as they could not eat the delicious food.

After a long time, Ximen Yufeng said leisurely: "Fengyuan was left by my mother. The lotus here was also sent by her personally to plant it.

My mother's health has always been bad, and after giving birth to me, her body became weaker and weaker. She knew that she could not see me growing up, so she used her life to design and build this garden and named it Fengyuan. Her original intention was to let this garden accompany me on behalf of her and watch me grow up. Unfortunately, I have been away for many years and I didn't really live here. Alas."

Hu You reached out and grabbed Ximen Yufeng's hand and said, "Mother is the greatest person in the world, she won't blame you. She must be very happy when you are back now. Look at the lotus flowers over there, and they all laughed."

"Puchi." Ximen Yufeng laughed out loud by Hu You, beat Hu You for a moment, and said coquettishly: "How can Lotus laugh? She is so slick."

Hu You smiled shamelessly and said, "Hehe, it's not bad for lotus to laugh at the beautiful woman."

Ximen Yufeng glared at Hu You and spat: "Little hooligan."

The layout of Fengyuan is a four-sided view and a middle room. All the gardens are built on all sides. The real place to live is behind He Gan. After sitting with Ximen Yufeng for a while, the two of them got up and headed towards the main building.

In front of the main building, there were a few people who looked like a general waiting here. Hu You glanced at it and saw that these generals were tall and extraordinary. The old man in the lead, although his hair was white, was still very imposing. He knew at first glance that he was not an ordinary person.

The old man saw Ximen Yufeng and Hu You and immediately came up to meet him, bowing with excitement, "Defu has met Miss. Miss, I have been waiting for you all day and night, and finally I have come back."

When Ximen Yufeng saw Defu, she was also very excited and asked with concern: "Uncle Fu, are you doing well?"

Defu wiped his eyes and said tremblingly: "Okay, okay, I'm fine everywhere when I see the lady. Miss, you must stay for a few more days this time."

Men Yufeng nodded and waved to let Hu You come over.

"Uncle Fu, this is Hu You, I recognize my younger brother. From now on, you can call him Young Master."

Uncle Fu looked at Hu You and his eyes lit up, "The young master is majestic and imposing. At first glance, he is a dragon and phoenix among people. He will definitely be incredible in the future."

When Hu You heard this, he immediately smiled and said to himself that this old man is even more slippery than me, and it is a pity that he doesn't run around the world.

Ximen Yufeng smiled and said, "He is just a little hooligan. Uncle Fu, please be careful when you ask the maids below to be careful. This guy is so bad."

Hu You said dissatisfiedly: "Sister, you can't do this. How can you say that your younger brother? Uncle Fu, don't listen to my sister's random words. I have always respected the elderly and loved the young, and I don't steal girls' bellybands, peeked at girls taking a bath, and spit everywhere. I am a big and gentleman, and I have a young man. Do you think I am like a little hooligan?"

Uncle Fu laughed and said, "Don't be careful of things, don't be careful of things, you are not romantic, you are not romantic, you are willing to be loyal, **Female love is very common. When the master was alive, he sighed long ago and wanted to fall in love early but found it too late. When he wanted to be romantic, he found out."

"Uncle Fu" Ximen Yufeng said coquettishly. She really regretted letting these two know each other at this time. She thought Uncle Fu would become more steady when he was old. It seemed that it was just a willing idea. In the future, these two guys with similar stinky tastes gathered together, and I really don't know how much trouble the mansion would be made.

"Okay, I won't say it, I won't say it." Uncle Fu shook his hand repeatedly, and while talking, he also secretly blinked at Hu You. Hu You suddenly felt good about the old man, but he didn't realize that this old man was still a top servant. If he had the chance, he had to communicate with him.

Under the leadership of Fu Bo, Ximen Yufeng and Hu You walked into the house. The scenery outside was beautiful, and the layout inside was very particular, with the word "elegant". Wherever you go, there were literati calligraphy and paintings, strange flowers and plants, strange stones and spiritual scenery, and the winding paths were secluded, and all were beautiful.

Turning around the gate of the courtyard, he finally arrived at the main hall. The layout of the main hall was not luxurious, but Hu You knew that any item here would be enough for him to eat for half a year. Just look at the layout here, even if he didn't understand antique calligraphy and paintings, he knew that everything here was very good.

When they walked into the main hall, except for Ximen Xue and Ximen Shuang, the twelve golden hairpins, including Dafeng, naturally all dispersed. In the absence of special circumstances, the twelve golden hairpins were Ximen Yufeng's maids. They were responsible for all Ximen Yufeng's daily life. Uncle Fu obviously knew this very well, so he did not arrange for other maids to serve tea.

Anrong in October has already snowed heavily, but the weather in the capital in October is still very hot. As soon as Hu You walked into this hall, he felt a burst of refreshment, which made him feel strange. There was not even an electric light in this place, so it was even more impossible for the air conditioner to have it. Where did the cold air come from?

Hu You became interested in this and looked around. But he didn't find anything that could cool down. He accidentally lowered his head. Hu You's inspiration flashed and he stretched out to touch the ground. Sure enough, the answer was here.

"Uncle Fu, what kind of stone is this? How could it be cold?" Hu You asked curiously.

Uncle Fu proudly said: "This is not an ordinary stone, it is a kind of jade, which the old lady accidentally discovered. It is not special in a single piece. But assembled in a certain way, it can have a magical effect. Don't look at it now, but in winter, it will become hot. With it, even if it snows in the house, there is no need to burn fire."

"So powerful," Hu You said in surprise. This is an amazing treasure. If you can take a cart back to the previous era, you can directly bring endless wealth, so how can you be afraid of being chased by the urban management?

Uncle Fu said proudly: "That's not. Unfortunately, the number of this kind of jade is too small. It's only enough for Fengyuan. Otherwise we'll send it."

Hu You saw that Uncle Fu was thinking about it with him again, and his favorability towards him became even further. He thought to himself that maybe this old man could have traveled through the world, otherwise why would he be so tempted?

Hu Youshen agreed and said: "Yes. If we can produce a large number of products and sell him ten or eight cars every day, it will be enough for us to drink soy milk and soy milk, and we want to add brown sugar and brown sugar."

"Miss, I'm going back to my room to read a book." Ximen Xue suddenly stood up and said to Ximen Yufeng.

Ximen Yufeng nodded and said, "Well, you go. You'll have to eat later. Don't be so fascinated."

"I understand, Miss Shuang'er, come on, I have something to help me." Ximen Xue said and pulled Ximen Shuang away. Before she left, she glared at Hu You obviously.

"Hey, I said, have you offended Xue Girl?" Uncle Fu hit Hu You for a moment and said in a low voice.

"That's right." Hu You nodded. Hu You said bitterly when he remembered this. If Ximen Yufeng hadn't been very kind to him, he would have thought Ximen Yufeng was his class enemy. How could he tell others everything? Alas, if he had known that Ximen Xue would have prepared, there would have been no such thing.

Uncle Fu said with admiration: "Young Master is indeed a phoenix among people. Alas, you must be careful in the future. Xue Yat-tou is someone I dare not mess with."

Hu You said dismissively: "It's just a yellow-haired girl, what's so great about it? Can she still eat me?"

Uncle Fu said: "You have never suffered from her. I don't know how great it is. Back then, I just stole a bellyband from her, and she just took the uh, and I went to the kitchen to see if the soup has been ready."

Hu Youzheng was having a lot of chatting. Unexpectedly, the old man turned around and ran away before he finished speaking. He couldn't help but rush: "Uncle Fu, don't rush that soup first, what's wrong with that girl? Cut it, run so fast, can it be that one first and that one next to that one first."

Ximen Yufeng shouted, "Hu You, what are you muttering about there? Come and have a tea with me."

Hu You turned around and saw Dafeng making tea for Ximen Yufeng. His eyes turned and ran over. Uncle Fu obviously didn't want to tell the embarrassing thing. Ximen Yufeng must also know this, so why not ask her.

Dafeng is very good at making tea. Just a few lotus leaves can make the room full of fragrance.

"Young master, how about this tea?" Dafeng saw Hu You coming over and hurriedly handed over a cup of lotus leaf tea. Perhaps because Hu You saved her, she was always very enthusiastic about Hu You. Even if Hu You sometimes took the opportunity to eat her tofu, she would not be angry.

Hu You teased: "It's a mistake to make tea for beauty, hehe, I'll try it." This guy is just a soft persimmon picking up persimmons, and he will only attack whoever is easy to talk to.

"Little Hooligan." Ximen Yufeng called Hu You. After entering this hall, she changed her name to Hu You.

Hu You complained, "Sister, can you stop calling this? Little hooligan, little hooligan, how ugly it sounds."

Ximen Yufeng rolled her eyes and said, "I like it, can't you? I'll call you that from now on."

What were you muttering to Uncle Fu over there just now?"

"Uh. I've forgotten you didn't say it. Sister, Uncle Fu seems to be afraid of Ximen Xue. Do you know why?"

Ximen Yufeng glared and said, "I don't know."

Since Ximen Yufeng recognized Hu You as her younger brother, she always wanted to act like a sister in front of Hu You. However, she has no brothers and sisters at home since she was a child, and she didn't know what this sister should do, and she seemed to be able to stare.

Just one move would not have any effect on a guy like Hu You. The only best way to deal with a guy like Hu You is to beat him up if you have something to do, but she is so fond of Hu You, so she can't bear to let her go.

Hu You's best ability is to observe his words and expressions. He knew at a glance that Ximen Yufeng must have known, but he didn't tell him. His eyes turned, and Hu You decided to change his way.

"Sister, I think you seem to be quite polite to Uncle Fu. He should not be a slave."

There are two types of slaves in Tianfeng Continent. One is that they have no household registration or have their household registration cancelled for various reasons. The other is that they have household registration, but their household registration is connected with the head of the family. They can be called family generals, and internally, they are family slaves.

The latter type is generally seen in powerful families. They are like vines and trees. They have been dependent on the family for generations and work for the family. They belong to half of the family. Their identities rise and fall with the status of the head of the family, prospering and losing, so they are generally very loyal and highly valued by the family. Those who can become the housekeeper of the Ximen family have a very high status. Ordinary small officials must be polite when they see them and dare not offend them.

Ximen Yufeng said, "When did I say he was a slave? Although he called himself a slave, you can't be a slave of the family, do you know?"

Hu You asked inexplicably: "Sister, I'm confused when you say it. What exactly is Uncle Fu doing?"

Ximen Yufeng was a little hesitant whether to tell Hu You about Uncle Fu, but she just flashed this idea and decided to tell Hu You. In her opinion, Hu You will be the master of this place from today onwards. As the master, he should always have an understanding of the people at home.

Ximen Yufeng glanced at Dafeng. Dafeng knew that they had a secret to talk about and was not suitable for her to know, so she bowed and left.

After seeing Dafeng retreat, Ximen Yufeng said, "Uncle Fu's surname is Ximen. He counts as he is still my uncle."

Hu You saw Ximen Yufeng talking about this, and then he got off and couldn't help but ask, "How could he do?"

Ximen Yufeng took a sip of tea ceremony: "This matter is a family secret. I tell you, you can't go outside and talk nonsense."

When Hu You heard this, he realized that what he asked casually was very important: "I'm just curious. If my sister is embarrassed, don't tell me, I understand."

Ximen Yufeng shook her head and said, "You are my younger brother now, and you are a member of the family. You should know some things. I believe that although you are a little naughty, you will not tell the matter out of the matter."

Seeing that Ximen Yufeng trusted him so much, Hu You couldn't help but sit up straight. It's hard to imagine that a person who had not known him for a long time could completely trust another person. In the past, when Hu You met such a person in the world, most of them called sheep and knots. It was an existence that was easier to deceive than fat sheep, and it was a rare breed that could not be found. Whenever he met, both of Hu You and his disciples were ecstatic and the slaughtered.

However, at this time, Hu You was not happy, but deeply moved. He sighed from the bottom of his heart that it was great to meet such a sister.

Ximen Yufeng continued: "Uncle Fu is a person who is unruly by nature, is romantic and roaming by nature, and is very bold. Anyway, it's basically the same as you."

When Ximen Yufeng said this, she couldn't help but glared at Hu You again.

Hu You smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you talking about me again? Tell me about the key points, tell me the key points."

Ximen Yufeng asked, "Do you know the origin of the goddess?"

Hu You nodded and said, "I know, that's a story about Princess Sophia. She used to be a brothel girl. After marrying into the royal family, the people changed the brothel girl to a goddess based on the poems given to Sophiati by the emperor."

Ximen Yufeng said: "You know and get it clear. Uncle Fu's affairs are caused by this Princess Sophia."
