Along the way, Cui Shi just silently grabbed one of Yuzhu's hands, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
Yuzhu was also a little nervous in his heart, and after a quick glance just now, he already felt that the clothes and speech and demeanor of those servants were extraordinary, and he couldn't help but look up to the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion in the capital a little higher.
The last time I rehearsed in my mind, I rehearsed what kind of salute I saw and what kind of words I said.
There was silence in the carriage, except for the sound of the horses' hooves on the stone slabs and the sounds of the streets.
The sound of children crying, playing, running, the sound of pedestrians hurrying or leisurely footsteps and the bargaining sound of small traders and buyers are intertwined, although the sun has long sunset, but it is still very lively, worthy of the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the prosperity of its street market, the prosperity of the people, from other places to compare.
After walking for a while, the carriage stopped steadily, and the respectful voice of the coachman who drove the carriage came into the carriage: "Madame, Miss, we have arrived at the house." ” After getting off the car, he hurried into the sedan chair waiting at the side door, Yuzhu only glanced at the door while walking, and sure enough, there were stone lions, and there were a few brightly dressed porters sitting in front of the door, but it was quite imposing.
The little guy carrying the sedan chair was not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, so the sedan chair stopped in front of the hanging flower door, and Lin Yuanzhi's voice came from outside the sedan chair curtain: "I'll go to see my brother and fourth brother first, and you take your daughter to see your mother first."
Cui Shi whispered in agreement, and the footsteps outside faded away.
After a while, a daughter-in-law wearing a pea-green embroidered jacket stepped forward with a smile and lifted the sedan curtain, helping the mother and son to get out of the sedan chair.
The daughter-in-law's face was crisp and shrewd, and she took Yuzhu's hand and said with a smile: "Oh, look at how good the third girl is, the old lady will definitely like it when she sees it." ” Yuzhu was a little angry with her tone, but seeing that this daughter-in-law was also wearing silk and satin, and the gold hairpin and silver hairpin on her head were quite thick, she knew that she was a decent servant, and she didn't speak, only smiled slightly, and looked at the front coldly, and the solemn and dignified appearance calmed down the daughter-in-law, thinking that the third lady was still young and thin-skinned, and she could probe to the bottom, so it was not good to continue to pretend to be stupid and try to continue.
Yuzhu looked at the gorgeous wood carving of lotus petals and lotus leaves carved on the pillar of the hanging flower door, smiled slightly and refused to accept the support of the daughter-in-law next to him, and stepped on the bluestone steps, his heart was miraculously calmed down, not afraid of your temptation, afraid that you would not do anything, this family really has someone who is not looking forward to his own return.
Walking along the corridor on the right side of the hall, the maids, daughters-in-law, and mothers-in-law who met along the way all saluted, but they inevitably looked up secretly.
Yuzhu frowned, a little unhappy, look at Mao, it's really unruly.
Because I want to meet the old lady first, the first thing I have to go to is the main house.
Passing through the two round moon doors again, came to the main house compound behind the hall, the front five upper rooms, all are carved beams and painted buildings, the style is extraordinary, the two sides copy the verandah and the wing rooms are lined up, and the corridor is hung with all kinds of starling thrushes and other birds and birds with bright feathers or singing tactfully, and come to the front room, a cool woman wearing dark red dark lines greeted with a smile: "The old lady was still chattering just now, but the third wife and the third girl are looking forward to it."
So he opened the curtain and reported inside: "The third lady and the third lady have arrived."
Yuzhu couldn't figure out what this mother-in-law was about, so Cui Shi turned his head and said in a low voice: "This is Mother Xie who is serving by the old lady's side." ” guessed that it was about the mother-in-law with a face in the grandmother's room, Yuzhu squatted slightly and was about to give a salute, the mother-in-law hurriedly avoided it, and hugged Yuzhu with her own hand and said: "This old slave can't afford it, the girl can't break my life after this salute."
He smiled and motioned for her to come into the house.
Entering the door is a yellow pear deer crane Ling screen, simple and elegant, and revealing a touch of luxury, bypassing the screen, only to see the eyes full of silk and satin, beads and emeralds surrounding, colorful embroidery brilliant, dazzling.
Looking at the women who turned out to be glamorous makeup and beautiful clothes, Yuzhu was determined, and saw that there was an arhat couch with wenge wood inlaid with luodian stone in the stars holding the moon, and a small kang table of the same material was placed on the couch, and in the middle sat a gray-haired old Fengjun, with an extraordinary bearing, a cold face, and a Buddha all around, so he knew that this was his grandmother Shi.
A maid wearing a red jacket and a green silk pinching vest stepped forward to remove the brocade and wool cloak on Yuzhu's body, and Yuzhu flicked his sleeves and followed his mother to kowtow to the old lady.
The old lady asked Cui how he was doing outside, and Cui replied with a smile: "Mrs.
Lao is worried, it's all good, the old man is going well outside, and the people of Qingzhou also gave Wanmin umbrella when he left."
The old lady was also happy, and looked very satisfied.
Seeing Yuzhu beside Cui's side, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he beckoned to Yuzhu: "That's a bamboo girl, it's so big, come to grandmother's side."
Yuzhu stepped forward and let her take her hand and look carefully from top to bottom, but she didn't see her for four years, but she really changed as if she was a different person.
There is a fallen horse bun on his head, which is simply embedded with a begonia bead flower, two locks of soft black hair hanging naturally on both sides of his cheeks, clear and plump eyes, cherry lips with danru flowers, eyebrows are not described, and the skin is as white and greasy as fat without powder.
The smoky green thin smoke gauze jacket, the pale green long skirt, the cuffs are embroidered with light blue peonies, the silver thread outlines a few auspicious clouds, and the hem is densely packed with a row of blue sea clouds.
Shi couldn't help but feel love when he saw it, and said in his heart, in the end, he was born from his descendant, and his appearance and bearing were really extraordinary.
His face couldn't help but bring kindness: "I'm not tired on the road, I'll go back and rest early after dinner, my grandmother has cleaned up, what is missing in the house, what I want to eat, just bring it up." ” Mother Xie next to her hurriedly said: "Old lady, the third lady and the third lady have been traveling all the way, but they haven't taken a breath, and besides, this room is full of people, how can you just pull your granddaughter to say things to yourself, the third lady is young when she leaves home, and the days are long, so you have to recognize everyone first." ” The old lady pointed to the female next to her and said, "Those three are your eldest aunt, second aunt and fourth aunt."
Yuzhu looked at Uncle Fan's mother's face was white and pure, her face was a little round, and she looked graceful and rich, but the occasional flash of light in her eyes showed that this was not a simple woman in the house; The second aunt Liang is still in good shape, but there is a deep worry line in the center of her eyebrows; As for the fourth aunt Zhao, she is the most ordinary one among them, and she can barely be called delicate, but her eyes are quiet and serene, and there is always a smile on the corner of her mouth that makes people feel like a spring breeze, which looks very amiable.
Cui's just blessed the concubines slightly, and Yuzhu had to meet them one by one.
The old lady pointed to a pink-clothed girl behind Liang and said, "That's your big sister Mei." ” He pointed to the short girl in yellow behind Zhao and said, "This is your sister Ju." ” Yuzhu was about to come forward to salute, but the old lady waved her hand and said lightly: "My sisters have so many ceremonies, why are bamboo girls suffering these days, let's eat first, and then come to talk to grandmother." ” Cui Shi smiled, glanced at Fan Shi with complicated eyes, and stepped forward to help the old lady leave. gd1806102:
