Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 5

After getting off the carriage, Su Jiu raised his head, and there was a plaque with blue characters on a black background embedded at the entrance of the alley, with the three big characters "Wuyi Lane" engraved on it.

A neatly dressed middle-aged woman greeted her, and looked at Su Jiu with a smile, "I heard that the young master bought a little maid, is she the one? She looks cute."

"Mother Liu will introduce our family to Xiao Jiu'er, and I will go say hello to the old lady and my aunt."

Xiao Tingchen smiled warmly and left first.

Su Jiu, carrying a small bundle, followed Mama Liu into the long alley.

The alley is paved with neat blue bricks.

In the corner of the wall, there are clusters of lilacs that are about to bloom.

Perhaps because of the heavy rain, moss has grown on the edges of the blue bricks, and the black tiles and white walls make this long alley even more secluded and elegant.

Mother Liu said proudly as she walked: "Our Xiao family is one of the five great families in Jinling City. Don't dare to offend our Xiao family easily!"

She paused, and then said: "Now the old man is serving as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the capital, the elder master and the second master are released as officials in other states, and the third master stays in Jinling City to manage the Xiao family's business. All internal affairs are handled by the government. The old lady takes care of it."

Su Jiu's young fingers gently caressed the pink and white wall, and thought to himself in an ancient poem:

Weeds and flowers by the Suzaku Bridge,
The setting sun is slanting at the entrance of Wuyi Alley.

In the old days, Wang Xietang Qianyan,
Fly into the homes of ordinary people.

These "ordinary people" are not unusual now.

Mother Liu looked back at her and saw that she was wandering off into the sky, she felt a little angry, "Miss Xiao Su, where did I just say?"

Su Jiu came back to his senses with a naive smile, "Mother Liu just said that the old master, the eldest master and the second master of the Xiao family are all working as officials outside, and the third master is in charge of running the Xiao family's business, and all matters inside the Xiao family are handled by The old lady takes care of it."

She opened a pair of wet deer eyes, and her slender white face was round and sweet.

She looked very innocent and honest, as if the person who just wandered into the sky was not her.

Mama Liu secretly thought that she was delusional, and continued: "Young master is from the master of the second room. Although he is only 15 years old, he was already the No. 1 in the autumn boudoir examination in the ten counties of Songzhou last year. The money is very expensive. You just Serve our young master, other young masters and young ladies, you can’t remember what I told you now, you will know after getting in touch with you slowly. But—”

She changed the subject and stopped in front of an extremely spacious and luxurious house.

"However, the young masters and young ladies in the mansion are not the most important. In this Wuyi Lane, there are only two young masters who cannot be offended. One is Mr. Xie Yuan from our family, and the other is the young Mr. Xie from the Xie Mansion!"

Hearing this, Su Jiu looked curiously at the resplendent mansion.

The mansion was built magnificently, with the words "Xie's Mansion" written in thick gold powder on the plaque, and even the pillars in front of the gate were covered with gold.

This level of extravagance is incompatible with the scholarly atmosphere of the whole Wuyi Lane, making it difficult for people not to pay attention.

"Everyone knows that the Xie family is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, huh, but they don't know that the stench of copper has stained the good Wuyi Lane! But the Xie family doesn't notice it. They only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and don't know why they read books. It's really a joke!"

"Then what's the matter with Mr. Xie? Why can't you provoke him?"
