Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

As soon as they returned to the side courtyard, Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan were called away, saying that the elder of the city guard asked them to go there.

There are four gardens in Mo Mansion, namely Dongyuan, Xiyuan, Nanyuan and Beiyuan.

The place where the city guard elders live is Dongyuan, and the place where Gu Panxia and others live is the side room of Xiyuan. This place is usually used to receive distinguished guests.

The Dongyuan is where the clan leaders live, the Nanyuan is where the elders and their families live, and the Beiyuan is where the disciples and servants of the various branches live.

The area of ​​each garden is not small, but it has a clear layout. For example, in the Beiyuan, the male disciples' dormitory and the female disciples' dormitory are separated by a thousand meters. The dormitories on both sides are built with high walls, which are safe. The problem, at least as far as the government is concerned, is no problem.

The servants' residence was built in the side room of Beiyuan.

Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan went to Dongyuan in a soft sedan. It was said that because of the snow, the city guard elder was afraid that they would catch the cold, so they sent a sedan to the two of them.

When they arrived at Dongyuan, the sky was gradually darkening, leaving only a silvery white light illuminating the road ahead.

At this time, it was dinner time, and when they arrived, the main hall was already filled with delicacies.

The city guard elder stood up, led the two of them to sit down, and then said with a smile: "I have to trouble you to make this trip in this snowy day. Thank you for your hard work. Please hurry up and have a cup of hot soup to warm yourself up."

The maid on the side understood and stepped forward to fill a bowl of hot chicken soup for the two of them.

There were only the two of them and the city guard elder on the table. Inside the house, the maid who helped them serve soup also bowed and stepped back. After going out, she did not forget to close the door.

Gu Panxia took a sip of the chicken soup and put it back on the table. She looked at the city guard elder with confusion.

The city guard elder stood up and looked around. After seeing no one, he returned to his original position and sat down. He said, "I called you here today because I have something important to discuss with you."

The two raised eyebrows and looked at each other. Gu Panxia took the lead and said with a smile, "I wonder what the important matter is?"

The city guard elder sighed softly, "I am dissatisfied with you. I want to cultivate a group of elites here, but I don't know which people to choose. After thinking about it, you are the only one who is the most reliable. So, I thought about it. I hope you can choose the candidate for me.”

Lu Yuan frowned, "The elder is joking, we have just entered Mo Mansion, how can we know who can be trusted?"

This old man is too unreliable. They only know a few people. Where can they choose reliable people for him?

"It is precisely because you are new to Mo Mansion that I asked you to select people!"

Gu Panxia raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean by this?"

The city guard elder smiled and said: "This first glance is the most important. I believe in your vision."

Lu Yuan shook his head and refused, "Elder, let's find someone else for this matter. We are outsiders after all. It is better for Mo Mansion's people to handle matters in Mo Mansion."

Gu Panxia also nodded in agreement. Originally, their arrival had already aroused suspicion. If they interfered with Mo Mansion's affairs again, they would probably cause dissatisfaction.

As if he had expected that they would refuse, the city guard elder was not too disappointed, but just a little regretful.

"Since you don't want to, I won't force you. Come on, let's eat quickly. The food will be cold again later."

Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan looked at each other again, and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

I don’t know what the old man is trying to do. He asked them to come over. He wouldn’t just let them pick someone, right?
