Yang Wenxuan's mansion is in the east city of Qingzhou, and the mansion is very large, but it is not very magnificent.
Because the Yang family has not been in business for a long time, although it is currently among the top ten richest people in Qingzhou, its background is always inferior to those who have been passed down for several generations.
In addition, it is not suitable to build a large number of buildings during the period of filial piety, and now the end of the filial piety period is just one year, and it is too late to renovate and expand.
Of course, this is only the reason on the surface, although Yang Wenxuan's business has been very big in the past two years, it is impossible for him to accumulate wealth so quickly, and he can become one of the top ten richest people in Qingzhou in just two years, in fact, many of the industries under his name belong to the Qi Palace.
In spite of this, the grandeur of Yang's Mansion is much more spectacular than that of many wealthy families, the gate of vermilion lacquer copper ring, the steps of the stone, the horse stone on the left side of the door, the hanging lamp pole on the right side of the door, the white wall of Daiwa, the high wall and the deep courtyard, the eaves and wings, are magnificent.
When the carriage arrived at the door, Xia Xun's heart jumped involuntarily.
Win or lose, in one move, succeed, from today onwards, I will be the master of this portal, if I fail Calm down, you must calm down, this is the first level, but also the most difficult level, no matter what, I have to pass this level, even if someone is suspicious of me in the future, he will not dare to rashly identify. ” The door of the Yang Mansion saw the young master's carriage and horse, and had already opened the main gate and greeted him happily, four guards and handlebars entered from the side door, Xia Xun walked into the gate accompanied by Zhang Shisan, as soon as he entered the door, two young men in green clothes and small hats happened to pass by, and when they saw the young master coming back, they were busy standing and saluting, and then someone ran in to report the news.
There are not many domestic servants and slaves in the Yang Mansion, much less than the wealthy families with the same net worth, because the common people are not allowed to raise slaves and maids, so the previous subordinates of the Yang family are hired in the name of helpers and nurses, so it is impossible to hire too many people.
But Yang Xu is often outside, and he doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the family, and the steward Xiao who presides over the overall situation of the house is a very frugal person, in his opinion, the cost of hiring a large number of slaves to put on a show is very large, so there are still not many people in the house.
Xia Xun beat the drum in his heart, and forced himself to enter his mansion calmly, Zhang Thirteen had already drawn the layout of the house in the house to show him, but after all, it was some flat lines, and now in such an intuitive and specific environment, the feeling of unfamiliarity still arises spontaneously.
Fortunately, accompanied by Zhang Shisan, Xia Xun, an impostor, would not be blind and blind in the Yang Mansion.
The pavilions and pavilions in Yang's mansion are magnificent, the trees and mountains are verdant and lush, the scenery is very beautiful, but Xia Xun has no intention to watch it at the moment, after the front yard and the middle yard, turn into the backyard, bypass the corridor, and see a corner of the red building exposed in the sparse flowers and trees opposite, and the eaves are exposed.
Xia Xun knew that this was his own residence.
"Calm down, remember, you are Yang Wenxuan, you are Yang Wenxuan" Zhang Shisan's slightly nervous and stern reminder came from behind him, Xia Xun used self-hypnosis, constantly exerting psychological hints on himself in his heart, and as soon as his breathing stabilized, he heard a joyful voice shouting: "Is the young master back?"
Xia Xun stopped to look, and saw a man in a green robe walking over quickly, this person was over forty years old, medium stature, clear facial features, the hair under the square scarf and the three locks of slightly haired under the chin were neatly combed, and he was wearing a lavender collared robe, which was also neat and straight, his pair of sleeves were pulled, and the white lining was also spotless, and his body was shrewd.
Xia Xun recognized his identity at a glance, Xiao Jingtang, the steward of the Yang family, he had seen this person's portrait countless times.
"Uncle Xiao, I'm back."
Xia Xun smiled serenely at him, and unfolded the folding fan of the bamboo bone cocoon paper with a brush.
Yang Xu left Jiangnan with his father when he was a child, when his mother had passed away, because Yang's father had no fame and had an heir, according to the law of Daming, he did not meet the conditions for concubines, and he had refused to renew the string, so in Qingzhou, Yang Xu had no relatives except his father.
When he was a child, his father said that he was doing business abroad all day and had no time to take care of him, Yang Xu was brought up by Steward Xiao, so he was extremely close to him, and he was always called Uncle Xiao, and he did not treat him as an inferior person.
Steward Xiao was full of joy, and was about to bow down to salute, when he was suddenly slightly stunned, Xia Xun's heart tightened, but his face was full of light, he looked himself up and down, and smiled: "What's wrong?"
Steward Xiao shook his head and smiled: "The young master has been away for the past few days, but he has tanned a lot, and when the old Xiao saw the young master for the first time, he felt a little strange, it was really ridiculous, ridiculous, hehe" When Steward Xiao saw Xia Xun, he did have a feeling of facing a stranger, but in fact, he didn't find any flaws, it was a completely mysterious feeling.
However, Xia Xun's dress, appearance, manners, demeanor and even tone at this time are exactly the same as Xia Xun, even if there is a difference, it is very small, in the case of preconceived ideas, it is difficult to see what the problem is, not to mention that there is still the young master's personal companion Zhang Thirteen standing next to him, no matter how rich the imagination of Steward Xiao is, he can't imagine that the young master went out for a turn, and when he came back, he changed people, so the surprised feeling was just a flash in his heart, and he was left behind.
Zhang Shisan's already tense face relaxed, but Xia Xun sighed gloomily, and said in a dumb voice: "Only after experiencing life and death can we understand the impermanence of life."
Tingxiang was originally a woman I loved very much, but because she fell into the water, her death made me depressed, and I still can't let go of it when I think about it. ” Hearing that the news of Xiang's accidental drowning in the Gushui River had been reported back to the mansion, Steward Xiao knew that his young master was an amorous seed, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but regret his words, and hurriedly said: "People can't be resurrected after death, so don't be sad."
It's only been a few days since the young master left, the person is tanned, and the appearance is thin, young master, don't blame Lao Xiao for talking too much, this money is something outside the body after all, and it can't be earned.
Young master, you see, it's only been two or three years of hard work, and the young master has earned such a big fortune, which is enough to comfort the old man's spirit in the sky.
The young master should now think about the major events of his life, as the so-called unfilial piety has three, no queen is the greatest, the young master should return to his hometown earlier, marry the young lady, our family is too sparse, the young master has many sons and grandchildren, the incense is prosperous, Lao Xiao will see the master one day, so he can have an explanation" Steward Xiao said emotionally, couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and wipe his tears, Xia Xun hurriedly comforted: "Look at you, I originally talked about my sadness, but it made Uncle Xiao sad and cry, okay, don't talk about this, let's not talk about this." ” Steward Xiao was busy and smiled: "Don't say it, it's all Lao Xiao's fault."
The young master has just come back, the wind and dust, I am verbose again, come, please go to the young master to take a bath first, change clothes and rest, and after a while, Lao Xiao will go to the kitchen and order, tell them to prepare dinner a little richer, and after dinner, Lao Xiao will tell the young master about the recent situation of the family business store. ” Xia Xun said with a smile: "Our family's business has always been held by Uncle Xiao, do I have anything to worry about, and it's not too late to talk about these things tomorrow."
As he spoke, he said to Zhang Shisan: "After dinner, you come to the study, there are some things for you to do." ” "Young Master, Thirteen retires."
Zhang 13 agreed, quickly met his eyes, and then retreated.
Steward Xiao accompanied Xia Xun to the Red Mansion, and shouted as he walked: "Xiao Di, Xiao Di, hurry up and wait for the son to bathe and change clothes." ” He pushed open a door, presumably his daughter's residence, but it was empty and nowhere to be seen, and Steward Xiao couldn't help muttering: "This dead girl, where are you going crazy?"
While looking for his daughter, he said: "Every time the young master leaves, the one who cares about the young master the most is my little Di, Xiao Di, this girl likes to stick to the young master since she was a child, and the young master has been gone for half a month, Xiao Di is not thinking about tea, and everyone is thin."
Steward Xiao said and pushed open a door, looked inside, and suddenly felt like his jaw dropped, and he couldn't say a word anymore.
I saw a square table facing the door, there was a big fruit plate piled up on the table, and a little girl with hair hanging down was sitting behind the table, holding a big peach in both hands, gnawing her cheeks full of juice, and there were a few peach pits, pear pits, and apricot pits that were not very clean on the table The door opened suddenly, and the little girl in the room was also startled, she was very surprised to hold the peach, her mouth was stuffed with pulp, and the little face was round, and the three of them stared at it with such big eyes, and the little girl's weird big eyes looked at Xia Xun first, and then looked at Steward Xiao, and then turned around in surprise, like a little squirrel holding a pine cone.
Xia Xun was amused by her cute appearance and laughed, and Steward Xiao immediately put away his embarrassed expression, and said in a deep and rich baritone like a voiceover in the animal world: "Young master, you see, this girl is so hungry because she doesn't think about tea and dinner, she is hiding here to eat fruit." ” The girl swallowed the flesh in her mouth and unceremoniously exposed his lie: "Dad, who doesn't think about tea and rice, people are so hungry that they can swallow a cow now, but people are dieting to lose weight and lose their waist, and they don't dare to eat if they want to."
Steward Xiao's old face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "Stinky girl, I'm really ignorant, the young master doesn't know how to come forward to greet him when he comes back, look at you, hurry up and serve the young master to bathe and change clothes." ” The little girl jumped up, flew to Xia Xun's side like a happy little swallow with a red dress, squatted down prettyly, and called sweetly: "Xiao Di has seen the young master" Xia Xun was able to take a serious look at Xiao Di's appearance, this is a cardamom girl, wearing a white silk placket jacket, a red skirt underneath, and a small green waist skirt wrapped around her waist, which looks neat and free, very cute.
Her beautiful and lovely girlish face, with small eyebrows and mouth, should be happy and hateful, with a pair of big eyes black and white, smart and spirited, with a shallow playful smile.
If you want to talk about fat, she is a little bit of flesh, but the girl's body is like a willow branch that has just been drawn, as she gets older, her body grows, and the baby fat phenomenon will naturally disappear, and she doesn't need to diet to lose weight at all, but she is so concerned, it seems that the little girl has begun to care about her appearance and figure, yes, girls at this age are going to marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen, precocious.
He was not allowed to continue to look at it, the little girl had already affectionately grabbed his arm, and said happily: "Young master, why did you come back, I said that I only went to live in another village for two days, why did I go to the stone unloading shed again, and I left for so many days."
Young master, let me tell you, on the third day you left, our little flower gave birth to cubs, and our little flower gave birth to five cubs, which gave birth to one more than the little black of the old Wang family at the east end of the street, do you want to go and see" "Me" "Ah yes, speaking of the old Wang family, the old Wang's in-laws bought two girls two days ago, one is ten years old, spent four bills, the other is seventeen, a very handsome sister, and a good female red, spent eighteen bills, guess what, after two days, that sister rolled up the gold and silver ornaments in Mrs.
Gou's room and ran away secretly, the Gou family went to find someone to settle the account, dare to love that person Yazi does not know the details of this girl, she is a liar at all."
"Oh, she" "I said to my father, our family will call people in the future, but you can't be as careless as Gou Yuanwai, you see Sister Cuiyun, Aunt Liu, and Brother Da Niu, they are all locals, and they can only rest assured if they know the roots, but they must not hire outsiders from unknown origins.
Brother Da Niu had a fight with Erzi a few days ago, it seems that it was because they both liked Sister Cuiyun, what do you say they are fighting, Sister Cuiyun doesn't like them, the result is miserable, I was punished by my father" Steward Xiao said with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay, you talk a lot, the young master has just come back, and I have to be noisy from you, so wait for the young master to take a bath." ” "Oh" Xiao Di agreed, turned around and wanted to leave, and suddenly glanced at Xia Xun again, but this time it seemed that she had suddenly discovered something, she was shocked, tilted her head and stared at Xia Xun like a bird, her face gradually showed a hesitant look, Xia Xun pretended to be calm and smiled: "What do you see, young master, have I become more handsome" said and pinched his chin, deliberately posing for an OSS.
Xiao Di looked left and right, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and suddenly approached him like a puppy and sniffed.

Steward Xiao's face darkened with anger, and he yelled: "The stinky girl who has no rules should not hurry up and wait for the young master to take a bath and change clothes."
Steward Xiao's voice was really not small, and the roar echoed in the room, startling Xia Xun, the little girl was obviously afraid of her father's "lion roar", and when he roared, she hugged her head and ran away.
Steward Xiao said to Xia Xun with some embarrassment: "Young master, Xiao Di, this child is actual, just because she saw the young master come back, she was a little overjoyed, in fact, she usually pays great attention to her daughter's appearance, and everyone she has seen praised her as a lady, she doesn't show her teeth, she doesn't swing her skirt, she behaves steadily, and she doesn't speak loudly."
Before Lao Xiao's words fell, Xiao Di's penetrating voice came from the courtyard: "Where are you dying, prepare hot water, young master is going to bathe" Xia Xun is embarrassed, it turns out that the lion roar of the Xiao family will be inherited.
Steward Xiao stiffened slightly, and said to Xia Xun weakly: "My old Xiao will go and prepare dinner for the young master."
After saying that, he ran away without shame
