Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 324 Open your eyes and see

After running around for a few days, Xu Yuan finally had a good sleep when he got home.

It was bright.

Zhang Qingyu was hesitating whether to wake Xu Yuan up to eat.

Xuyuan opened the door and came out.

When she saw Zhang Qingyu, she asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you wanted to eat. I was also wondering if you were tired from traveling all the way, so I wanted to rest for a while."

The one who loves children the most is always the mother.

Xu Yuan had suffered a lot since he was a child. When he returned to Sishui County from the capital, he had no appetite and became thinner day by day.

Zhang Qingyu knew that thinness was considered beautiful among the women in the capital.

But she is a mother, and she only hopes that Xu will be healthy.

Whether it is beautiful or not is irrelevant.

"I'm awake." Xu Yuan said, and then said, "Mom, I want to eat the pancakes you made."

Zhang Qingyu immediately said, "I'll get it for you now."

After Zhang Qingyu left, Xu Yuan went back to the room and tidied up the bedding.

After changing her clothes and going out, before she closed the door, she saw a nanny leading a maid in.

The person who came was Nanny Yi.

When he saw Xuyuan, he immediately knelt down and said, "This old slave greets the young lady."

"What are you..."

"I am the housekeeper of the Xu residence. When I heard that the young lady had returned home, I naturally took care of other matters one by one."

After Nanny Yi finished speaking, she turned sideways and said, "This is Huamei, who will be responsible for serving the young lady in the future. In addition, there is also a martial maid. I haven't found a suitable candidate yet. When I find one in the future, I will bring it to the young lady."

When Huamei saw Xuyuan, she knelt down along with Nanny Yi and said, "This servant greets the young lady."

"Does my father know?"

Young ladies from wealthy families all have maids to serve them.

Xu Yuan was not surprised, but she didn't know where her father got so much money to renovate the Xu house and hire so many servants and maids.

"Of course the master knows." Nanny Yi smiled kindly.

There is only one young lady like this in the Xu family.

Naturally, you should be pampered.

What's more, Nanny Yi also knew that the person in front of her was not an ordinary official's daughter. The future of the Xu family might depend on this young lady, so she didn't dare to evade the slightest.

On the second day after returning home, Xu Yuan walked around the entire Xu residence to familiarize himself with the route. After eating the pancakes baked by Zhang Qingyu, he left the house with Huamei.

Huamei followed Xuyuan carefully.

She was bought into the Xu family. One day, Nanny Yi went out to do some shopping and saw her selling herself to bury her father. She felt sorry for her and bought her.

From then on, she has been staying with Nanny Yi.

Nanny Yi said that from now on she would be responsible for serving Xu Yuan, the only young lady in the Xu family.

She had heard of Xu Yuan and admired him in her heart.

She had thought that she could learn more from Nanny Yi so that she wouldn't lose face when she met Xu Yuan in the future. However, she never expected that Xu Yuan would come back so soon, leaving her at a loss.

Xu Yuan did not ask anyone to prepare a carriage and went out directly because she did not know whether the Xu family had any carriages.

Seeing that Xuyuan didn't seem to plan to take the carriage, Huamei asked in a low voice: "Miss, where are we going? If it's far, I'll ask the doorman to prepare a carriage."

Although the Xu family has no official position and does not have much money now.

But Nanny Yi always said: A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The Xu family’s reputation cannot be lost, so no matter what, the best must be used.

Xu Wenxian also agreed.

Although the expenses in the mansion were not extravagant, they were definitely not so poor that the young lady could travel without a carriage.

"No, I haven't been back to the capital for a long time. I want to go around. What's more, I have long been different from those girls. If I hide in the carriage, it will be easier for people to think that I am afraid."

After being away from Beijing for several days, Xu Yuan had no idea what his reputation was in the capital.

But no matter what, she is not worried.

The mouth is on the other person's body, so she can't interfere with what they say. But she can stop herself from listening and thinking, so she won't be troubled.

"Yes."

Huamei wrote down the wish, thinking that if she went out of the house in the future, she would have to change into lighter shoes.

The young lady knows martial arts and has been to the battlefield. She is not like those delicate young ladies in the capital.

She was a servant, she couldn't be more delicate than a young lady and only think about riding in a carriage when she went out.

After leaving Xu's house, Xu Yuan went to Shen's house.

Without a visiting card, she just asked at the gatehouse: "Young man, is Mr. Shen at home?"

The concierge took one look at Xu Yuan and thought she was the woman who loved Shen Yichuan, so he kept silent and said, "I don't know. If you have anything to ask, please send us a visiting card."

Xuyuan sighed slightly.

Just as I was about to leave, I heard a group of playboys walking towards me on the street, arm in arm. The leader muttered, "Has Mr. Shen gone out yet? You can't ask us to wait for him in the First Floor Building, can you?"

"I heard that he didn't go home last night? He must have just woken up."

Xu Yuan looked up.

She didn't know those people.

But she should know that Mr. Shen.

Xu Yuan lifted the hem of her skirt, looked back at Huamei, took off the jade pendant from her waist, handed it to Huamei and said, "Huamei, I'm going to Yipinlou. You take this token to Chengwang Mansion to find Master Chen Shan and ask him to come to Yipinlou as soon as possible."

After hearing Xuyuan's words and thinking about what she had heard before, Huamei guessed what Xuyuan was going to do. Not daring to delay, she took the token and trotted to Chengwang Mansion.

The door to the Shen Mansion remained closed.

Xu Yuan looked back and went towards Yipintang.

There are countless large restaurants in Beijing, and Yipinlou is one of them.

At this time, Xuyuan was somewhat thankful that Shen Yichuan did not go to Yihongyuan to get drunk, otherwise, she would be embarrassed to set foot in.

There were not many people in the restaurant in the morning, but the smell of alcohol was strong. You could tell without going in that someone must have been drinking here all night yesterday.

The first floor is full of wine bottles.

The shopkeeper was fiddling with his abacus at the counter. When he heard someone coming in, he said without even looking up, "The restaurant has been booked by the young master of the Shen family. Sorry, we can't accommodate you. Please go find another restaurant."

"I'm not here to eat."

Xu Yuan stepped over the broken wine bottles on the ground and asked directly, "Where is Master Shen?"

"upstairs."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked up and saw that it was a young woman. He said, "Young lady, don't go up there. They are all playboys. The young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion was here yesterday. It's useless."

At the end, the shopkeeper shook his head regretfully.

Shen Yichuan, the eldest son of the Grand Master.

Known as the number one young master in the capital, he used to be so glorious, but now he is curled up here, getting drunk every day.

I don’t know what exactly happened.

"Nothing, I'll go check it out, thank you."

Xuyuan nodded.

The smell of alcohol on the second floor was even stronger than on the first floor, and there were also sounds of fighting.

Xu Yuan walked over the mess on the ground, and before he saw Shen Yichuan, he heard a teasing voice.

"Hey, whose little girl is this? Are you here to look for Master Shen again? Don't look for Master Shen anymore, come and have a drink with us brothers first?"

Xuyuan looked in the direction of the voice.

Behind the screen, more than a dozen people were lying in a crooked position.

Shen Yichuan was lying drunkenly in the wine pot, holding it. When he heard someone coming, he just raised his eyes and continued, "Why bother with that? Let's keep drinking!"

One call and a hundred responses.

Someone immediately clinked glasses with Shen Yichuan and said, "Brother Ji Huai, let's have a drink together!"

Xu Yuan clenched his fists and said with all his might, "Shen Yichuan, open your eyes and see who I am."
