Chapter 410: The Palace Visitors’ Sarcasm
in the house.
Leng Xian lifted the quilt, got out of bed, walked to the washbasin rack beside him, looked at the copper basin half filled with water, and directly reached out to wash his face.
Zhongshun took a robe hanging on the hanger nearby and wanted to help Leng Xian change into it.
Leng Xian took a look and felt a little disgusted.
From the day the mansion was robbed until today, I have been wearing this robe of Lu Jie'en.
Although, he didn't wear this robe to roll around in the mud and water...
But, if it were in the past, since he was a distinguished marquis, he would never wear the same robe over and over again for several days at a time!
But at this point, what if I don’t wear it?
Not long ago, after Leng Xian moved into this room, he asked Zhongshun to look through the boxes and cabinets in the room.
Originally, I was thinking about seeing if Peng Lu had left any clothes or something like that so that I could use them to replace them.
After Zhongshun opened the boxes and cabinets and searched, he found that there was not a single piece of clothing available for replacement.
Men's clothing and supplies are originally simple.
Naturally, Peng Lu packed a few sets of clothes and some basic daily necessities in his bag and took them with him.
As for other things...actually...there is really nothing else!
Peng Lu raised his hand and pulled out the hairpin on his head, thinking that he had been wearing a messy head of uncombed and unwashed hair for the past few days, so he had to comb it properly now.
The result... disappointed him again!
There is no comb in Peng Lu's room.
Leng Xian was the master and marquis of this mansion. In his early years, when Fu Baozhen was still alive, every morning, it was Fu Baozhen, the virtuous wife, who would tie up her husband Leng Xian's hair.
Later, Fu Baozhen passed away. Yin became lazy and refused to get up early, so her maid had to do her hair every day.
Now, my hair is disheveled and I haven't washed it for several days. It's all tangled up, but I can't find a comb...
In a hurry, there was no time to look for a comb elsewhere;
In desperation, Leng Xian could only use his hands to gather his hair and somehow manage to tie it up;
Then he put another wooden hairpin in.
As for the black jade auspicious cloud hairpin that he used to wear, it was also a treasure in Fu Baozhen's dowry. It was the token of love that Fu Baozhen gave to her newlywed husband!
Since Leng Rongyue knew it, how could she possibly stay with him?
That night, I had already picked it up and thrown it into the space!
Even if you think it's dirty or unlucky, the worst that can happen is that you can find a chance to exchange it for silver later and use it to help the poor.
No matter what... we can't let this scumbag get away with it!
Leng Xian was wearing a wrinkled robe, with his hair in an untidy bun, and his face was covered in bruises and swelling that hadn’t subsided yet…
No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like a wealthy and pampered duke;
No matter how you look at it, he looks like a poor, prodigal son whose family fortunes suddenly declined!
There is no mirror in this room yet.
Leng Xian had no choice but to look at himself in the water in the copper basin.
Just one look and he felt disgusted with his own appearance!
Speaking of which, from childhood to adulthood, even now that he is approaching middle age, Leng Xian has always been very satisfied with his face.
Leng Xian does have a good-looking appearance.
It’s just a pity that what’s hidden inside the skin is not a good thing.
At this moment, there were visitors from the palace waiting outside, and Leng Xian had no time to think or feel anything more.
He hurried out of the room and came outside.
Leng Xian immediately saw the eunuch Xiao Dongzi standing in the middle of the yard, and the two young eunuchs behind Xiao Dongzi.
Xiao Dongzi was holding a whisk in his hand with his hands behind his back.
He swung the whisk in his hand leisurely and gently, as if a fox tail had grown behind him.
Leng Xian hurriedly took two steps forward, clasped his fists and saluted, "I didn't know that you were coming, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Please forgive me in person!"
Xiao Dongzi looked at Leng Xian and couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
Thinking about this Qinxing Hou Leng Xian, he used to be dressed in an official robe, with a tall figure and handsome features. He was considered a handsome man!
Why does he look so disheveled today... He looks disheveled all over!
This set of clothes...where did he get it from?
But no wonder.
I heard that the Marquis' Mansion was robbed, and the tall buildings, halls, storerooms, etc. in the mansion were all looted, not even a piece of paper was left!
It was naturally impossible to leave behind even a single robe.
At the moment, Leng Xian’s outfit... I’m afraid it was taken from his butler.
Hehe...really, there is a saying -
You won’t die if you don’t do it!
The Marquis of Qinxing's mansion was a good one, he was a good Marquis of Qinxing, and he was lucky enough to marry the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, who came with a beautiful wedding dress that stretched ten miles...
What a wonderful day that would be!
What a pity!
It’s a pity that such a good trump card was smashed to pieces by Leng Xian!
Humph! Leng Xian has become like this now, which can be regarded as God's retribution to the unfaithful man!
No, not yet!
Thinking about the conversation I heard from the Emperor and Empress in Fengyi Palace not long ago...
Today... I'm afraid this is the last day that Marquis Qinxing will be Marquis Qinxing!
Tomorrow... hehe...
Thinking of this, Xiao Dongzi was too lazy to waste any more words talking to Leng Xian.
He lowered his arms, threw away the whisk in his hand, and held his hands in front of him.
Xiao Dongzi started to tease, "I say... Marquis, you are really living a comfortable and carefree life these days when you are not attending court or taking care of official business!
Look at me, I got the job in the middle of the day and I haven't even had a bite of lunch yet...
Well, I was sent to the Marquis' Mansion to run errands.
Look at you, my lord. After lunch, you can still take a comfortable nap.
In comparison, we envy the Marquis so much!"
