Chapter 30 Closed door

After asking the tea doctor at the tea shed for directions, the two soon found Yuqian Lane. At the end of the lane was the magnificent Pei Mansion.

After passing through the long and narrow alley, the gilded sunlight fell on the glazed tiles, as if there was a pool of broken gold.

The copper ring the size of a teacup on the vermillion-lacquered door sparkled under the sun, and the plaque was engraved with two large gilded characters - Pei Mansion, which stood out like a jade palace in the setting sun.

On both sides of the doorway, squatting were two stone lions with ferocious eyes. They were huge and powerful, as if they might jump up at any time and eat anyone passing by.

Stones for mounting horses and stones for dismounting horses are arranged on the left and right. The high stone steps made of white marble are dozens of steps high and more than ten feet wide.

Cui Yunhao stood in front of this magnificent mansion, his mouth wide open, but speechless.

Chu Yingying was also quite surprised. Although the Prince's Mansion she lived in in her previous life was much more gorgeous and grand than the Pei Mansion, the owner of the Pei Mansion was considered to be very rich and powerful in terms of Hangzhou as a whole.

She composed herself, climbed up the stairs, and after hesitating for a moment, she knocked on the tiger head bronze ring on the door.

Not long after, there was only a creaking sound, and the door slowly opened a small crack, and a middle-aged man with a heavy face revealed half of his face. A pair of rat eyes glanced around the two of them, and his tone was harsh.

He asked: "Who are you?"

The concierge's attitude is so bad, I guess Mr. Pei is not an easy person to get along with!

"Then what should we do now?" Cui Yunhao lowered his eyes and said with some frustration.

Chu Yingying was immediately annoyed, but there was no other way.

Well! I was rejected as soon as I came here.

I waited dryly for two sticks of incense.

Chu Yingying could hear the disappointment and nervousness in his voice, turned around, rubbed his head, and said: "It's okay, it's just that there is someone who takes advantage of others and looks at people through the crack in the door."

As soon as he finished speaking, he closed the door unceremoniously, almost pinching Chu Yingying's fingers.

The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this, waved his hand and shouted: "My master has no relatives in Xuancheng. You are looking for the wrong place. Get out of here!"

Chu Yingying thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait and see."

Cui Yunhao, who was behind him, caught up with her and caught a glimpse of her huffing look. He said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "Sister, is Pei Shibo not willing to meet us?"

After saying that, she took Cui Yunhao and sat down in a corner not far away. Feeling a little hungry, the two of them ate the last half of the sweet potato and waited for the people from Pei's house to come out.

Chu Yingying raised her hands and made a bow, and said softly: "Uncle, our sister and brother came from Xuancheng. My father asked us to come to your house to visit Uncle Pei. Please help us pass the message."

Cui Yunhao felt bored, so he leaned his head against the wall and took a nap. Chu Yingying crossed her arms and stared at the door for fear of missing any opportunity.

Suddenly, the corner door behind the wall opened from the inside, and a childish and high-pitched voice exclaimed: "Ah! Why are there two little beggars sitting at the door? It scared me!"

Cui Yunhao woke up immediately when he heard these words obviously coming from a girl's mouth. He was so confused that he didn't see who the girl was, so he shouted in a low voice: "We are not beggars!"

Chu Yingying was also angered by her sarcastic words. She turned her head and looked over, only to see three people standing in front of the door. Standing at the front was a little girl, who must be seven or eight years old.

He looks shorter and smaller than Cui Yunhao.
