Chapter 262： Arrive at the City Lord's Mansion

Chapter 262 Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion

"This is my Miao'er, Miao'er just say hello!"

Wei Shi also walked over with a smile. In the past few days, their third concubine and Xiao Xianxian have become familiar with each other. Although Xiao Xianxian is expensive as a princess, she has no pretence. It is no wonder that Sun Zili has been concubine for so many years. Didn't take one.

"Hello, sister."

Yin Miao was wearing an aqua blue corset dress today, with fair skin and a light figure. She looked at Xiao Xianxian with a smile and shouted, which immediately made Xiao Xianxian happily throw away Xiao Xuan and took her hand. .

"Miao girl, you call me uncle, but sister Xianxian, don't bring such a thing."

Sun Zili said jokingly.

"But Sister Xiao looks very young."

Yin Miao said truthfully, it was not that she was flattering on purpose, but Xiao Xianxian did look young and beautiful. In modern times, it looked like she was only in her early twenties.

But now Xiao Xianxian is even more happy: "Sister has a good eye, everyone, come in and sit down, it's great to be back safely."

Ever since she knew that Sun Zili and Xiao Xuan were going to stay in Anmu City until the last moment, and even had to wait for the barbarians to arrive, she had been worried for several nights and had not slept well. Now that both her husband and Xiao Xuan are back, she is naturally happy.

Yin Miao walked towards the front hall with Mrs. Wei, but noticed that the city lord's mansion looked sluggish and the dry grass on both sides was naturally ignored. They had walked for a long time and never saw a servant. It looks very strange for the mansion.

But after Sun Zili explained the reason, they completely understood.

"In order to appease me, the old emperor not only gave me a betrothal, but also awarded me such a large mansion. It seems that the emperor's grace is mighty, but I have no relatives here, so how can I use such a big mansion? ?"

Sun Zili said helplessly.

There were not many servants in his mansion. Originally, he planned to divide the mansion into two parts and use the other half for the people in the city. But it was stopped by Xiao Xianxian, because this is the gift of the emperor. If it is used easily, it will inevitably fall into the limelight.

So he had to bite the bullet and live in this seemingly luxurious city lord's mansion. After the disaster, he dismissed almost all the servants, leaving only some capable servants who served Xiao Xianxian.

So this is what the family saw.

"Don't say it, after you left this time, I really think this mansion has become a hot potato."

Xiao Xianxian frowned slightly.

"What happened?" Sun Zili asked, Xiao Xianxian never felt that there was any problem with this city lord's mansion before.

Xiao Xianxian looked at the people in the house and said, "Seeing that many people starved to death in this city, rumors began to spread that you were occupying a huge mansion, and that the reason why our mansion drove so many servants away, It is because there is a large amount of gold, silver and grain in the house."

Since Sun Zili is not in the city these few days, Huang Tongjuan in the city seems to have specially explained that his wife should be born to accompany the city master's wife, and she also heard about this from Mrs. Huang.

Sun Zili didn't take it seriously after listening to it: "What do they like to say, how can we be the master of the people's leisurely mouth?"

"But…"

Xiao Xianxian wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her husband. Sun Zili specially invited his family to live with them in the mansion in the city.

"As you can see, there are dozens of mansions and hundreds of guest rooms in my mansion. Ninth brother and Bo Wu, please don't be polite to me, just take it to make me more popular."

Sun Zili said.

"Yes, yes, I finally saw you, my ninth brother, so you have to live in peace."

Xiao Xianxian also said immediately.

Seeing that Yin Miao and her family had no objection, Xiao Xuan agreed, but he said, "I heard what the third sister said just now, but I don't think it is groundless. Third sister's safety."

Xiao Xianxian's safety?

Sun Zili never thought about this. He frowned and asked, "Where did you start?"

"Old Sun, you are still the same as before, always underestimating people's hearts."

Yin Bowu remembered that Sun Zili was a very loyal person and never cared about what others said, but this was also his shortcoming.

"These days, people's lives are almost starved. If others know that you have enough food here, even if they risk their lives, many people will think about it."

Yin Bowu reminded.

At that time, let alone Xiao Xianxian's safety, Sun Zili might not be able to protect himself.

"Is it so serious? Why don't I open the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow and let them take a look."

Sun Zili was still worried about Xiao Xianxian.

"But in that case, others will only think that you hid the food."

Yin Bowen said.

"This is really out of the question. Could it be that someone wants to harm us?"

Sun Zili asked.

Xiao Xuan smiled, his brother-in-law was not too stupid.

"The people's mouths can't be blocked, but they can guide them. If the people's thinking changes, the people behind this may also be found."

Yin Miao said.

"Guide? Can Miss Yin have a way?" Xiao Xianxian asked.

Yin Miao smiled and said, "Sister, although I don't have any good ideas, Xiao Xuan should have."

"Ninth brother?"

Xiao Xianxian looked at Xiao Xuan, if she was in the capital, she could be sure that Xiao Xuan would definitely have a solution, but in Shangyun City, Xiao Xuan was also a newcomer.

"Madam doesn't know anything, if the ninth brother says there is a way, there will be a way."

Sun Zili seemed eager to draw Xiao Xuan into his camp.

At this moment, a woman who looked like a maid walked in and whispered a few words beside Xiao Xianxian, who immediately interrupted what Sun Zili wanted to say next.

"If there is a way, we have to wait until later. I have already prepared meals for everyone, and everyone is tired. Let's have a meal together in the house."

Xiao Xianxian did not have any princess airs, and even Yin Miao felt good about her approachable appearance.

It's just that everyone can see that there is really nothing to entertain people in the city lord's mansion. The only thing that can be done is a few chicken and egg dishes on the table.

As for the main food, there are only some gray-yellow miscellaneous grains in each bowl.

"Everyone, you're welcome. Eat well in this good year, but also in a disaster year. We still have some surplus food in our house."

Xiao Xianxian greeted.

“…”

Sun Zili was both sad and embarrassed. If he hadn't been to Anmu City, he would have thought that these were very good meals in the barren years. Although the chicken and eggs were all brought by Xiao Xuan, it was precisely because he knew Anmu City. Mucheng's situation, that's why I think so.

"This craftsmanship looks good, but it comes from the hands of Fuzhong people?"

Yin Miao did not mean to dislike it in the slightest. Although the dishes on the table were few, they were very delicate and delicious, and it seemed that she was careful.
