As soon as he entered the city, Lin Yue was attracted by the lively scene left and right, and he also looked around as the frame stopped.

After a short journey, he finally came to the Duke of Dingnan's mansion, Lin Yue looked up, it was really a big mansion, with three vermilion lacquer gates, and five or six families in gray clothes stood in front of the door. The side door on both sides is wide open but the main door is not opened, there is a gilded plaque above the main door, vigorously and forcefully outlines the five big characters of "Dingnan Duke's Mansion", and at a glance you know that it is a famous handwriting.

Lin Yue drove the donkey cart under the guidance of the family to enter through the gate on the other side of the street, after all, the coffin is very taboo in this big family, Tao Qi pulled Mo and whispered into the house first, and Tao Qi's maid Tao Yao followed Lin Yue and led him for a while.

After parking the car, Lin Yue followed Tao Yao into the house, this duke's palace is really not small, carved beams and paintings everywhere, strange stones and herbs are extraordinary, and the family servants along the way are very busy.

Lin Yue asked: "Sister Xiaoyao, who are some people in this duke's mansion, you tell me about it first, so as not to make a joke for a while." ”

Tao Yao thought for a while: "That's right, Brother Lin, let me tell you, the highest status in the house is the old lady, who is also the grandmother of the young lady, the mother of the three masters, and has been living in the backyard since the death of the old man." ”

Lin Yue nodded and said, "I see." ”

"There are three masters in the family divided into three rooms, the eldest lord's name is Tao Xiu, inherited the title of Duke of Dingnan, and there is a son under his knees, which is the eldest young master Tao Ze in the mouth of the young lady, the eldest young master has been serving under the banner of the Northern Xinjiang Demon Master all these years, and he will come back tomorrow. "Speaking of this eldest young master, Tao Yao's eyes are full of little stars of admiration, it seems that this gentleman is very popular with girls.

Tao Yao then said: "The second master of the second room is the biological father of the young lady, you have seen it, I won't say more." ”

Lin Yue nodded, the second master's name is Tao Jian, he is a don't drive in Yuanzhou, and he is one of the few people in the mansion who has an official position, and he knows this.

Tao Yao said: "The third old man's name is Tao Wei, and he has always been in charge of the family's expenses and the farm outside the city. That is, under the three masters, there are several sons and young ladies. ”

Lin Yue asked, "On the way, I heard that your young lady is Xingqi, so there are at least six brothers and sisters?"

Tao Yao said: "Yes, the eldest son Tao Ze was born in a big house, and he is also the only son of a big house, my young lady is the second room, and the second son Tao Yuan and the fourth son Tao Bo are also in the second room, as for the third son Tao Ji, the fifth miss Tao Jie and the sixth son Tao Hong, my young lady is the youngest in this generation. ”

Lin Yue nodded: "Sure enough, it's a big family." ”

As he was talking, a woman in purple walked in front of her, she was really graceful, just like the fairy Ling Bo, looking at her age, she was about to be in her early twenties, combing her lady's hair, Tao Yao immediately buried her head and said respectfully: "Young lady." ”

The woman just nodded lightly and walked away, but Lin Yue found that it was different, looking at her figure, looking at her steps, this young lady seemed to be a master, Lin Yue could feel it, she didn't restrain her momentum, I don't know if it was intentional or not enough.

Lin Yue asked, "Who is that?"

Tao Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "She is the eldest young lady in the family, and she is the main room of the eldest son Tao Ze." ”

"The one who will be back tomorrow?"

"Yes, but they've been married for several years, but they rarely see each other. ”

Lin Yue was puzzled: "Why is this?"

Tao Yao explained: "The eldest prince is away with the army all the year round, so naturally he can't see each other often. ”

Lin Yue asked again: "Is this young lady also from a military family?" Originally, it was very rude to inquire about the female relatives in the family, but because of the aura exuded by the woman in Fangcai, Lin Yue became interested.

Tao Yao said with a smile: "How come, although our Duke Dingnan's Mansion is also a martial arts family, but for more than a hundred years, the family has long stopped cultivating martial arts, except for the eldest prince who can still lead the army, the rest are weak people, and several masters also like literature and dislike martial arts, and the family does not teach martial arts." As for the eldest young lady, she is also from a scholarly family, her maiden name is Zhou, and she is the Qijiang Marquis of Luzhou......"

Tao Yao turned his head to look around, saw that there was no one, and said: "The eldest prince and her have been married since childhood, and later got married, but I heard about it later...... This young lady behaved inappropriately in her mother's house, and her personal morality was at a loss, and she had already made a lot of trouble in Luzhou, and their Zhou family had been hiding it, so they ended the marriage according to the marriage contract, but they still let the house know......"

Lin Yue nodded, this should have been a secret in the house, Tao Yao could tell him, naturally because Tao Yao was young, girls passed on some private gossip, which can also show that at this time in the house, at least in the circle of subordinates, it is not a secret, of course, Lin Yue's young age is also one of the reasons.

Not long ago, Tao Yao took Lin Yue to a large courtyard, Lin Yue looked up at the 'Jade Branch Pavilion', in this world there is a proverb of 'Luan Feng Qi Jade Branch', which is probably the meaning of good birds choosing trees and perching, so the talent is compared to Luan Feng, and Bole who can recognize people is compared to the jade branch.

Tao Yao said: "This Yuzhi Pavilion is full of the lord's doormen and staff, and the Xixi of the sons and ladies also live here. ”

Lin Yue had just cleaned up the guest room, Tao Qi came over with a silent whisper, and she excitedly shouted, "Brother Lin, let's have lunch together."

Tao Yao hurriedly said: "Miss, you should ...... lunch"

Tao Qi said: "What should I not do, I said eat here, just eat here, go and bring it ......"

Lin Yue didn't understand, Tao Qi explained three times by five, Lin Yue probably understood, it turned out that Tao Qi led Mo Qingyu into the hall, and immediately said in front of the old lady that he wanted to repay the 'life-saving benefactor', for Mo Qingyu and Lin Yue, the Duke of Dingnan's mansion expressed his gratitude, as for having lunch or something, the ladies said that the family banquet still does not need outsiders to join, and the son next to the lady is very interested in Mo Qingyu, Tao Qi saw this and immediately led Mo Whisper back to the Yuzhi Pavilion.

For the appearance of those noble ladies, Lin Yue can also imagine a thing or two, forget it, they originally came to eat and live for nothing, and they will leave tomorrow after collecting their souls at night, so they don't have to worry about it.

After lunch, Tao Qi shouted that he wanted to take his sister and brother to visit Yuanzhou Mansion, and for the sake of acting at night, Lin Yue agreed.

In the afternoon, Yuanzhou gradually became lively, under the leadership of Tao Qi, Tao Yao, Lin Yue, and Mo Whispering went shopping on the street, walking the alley so happily, looking at the seventh lady of the Duke of Dingnan's Mansion who walked with the wind, Lin Yue shook his head.

Tao Yao said with a smile: "Miss just likes to walk in the city like this, and the master can't do anything about Miss." ”

I was walking but saw a rich boy in front of me, with more than a dozen family servants, looking very unstoppable, a blind young man with a bamboo pole in his hand and ragged clothes was walking on the road, and a family man went up and kicked him to the ground: "Stinky blind man, don't get in the way of my young master." ”

Seeing the young man being kicked to the ground, the rich boy and the doglegs laughed loudly, this is worth it!

Tao Qi rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward and shouted, "Purple-eyed monkey, you have a long ability!!"

When the rich boy saw Tao Qi, he was so frightened that he turned around and ran, and the doglegs also ran away.

Tao Qi helped the blind young man up: "Are you okay?"

The blind young man hurriedly said, "It's okay, it's okay." Lin Yue looked at the blind young man in front of him carefully, his eyes should have been blinded by external forces, and his hands were also cut off fingers, the bamboo pole was not held with his fingers, but held in the palm of his hand.

The blind young man staggered away, and Tao Qi said hatefully: "The next time I see the purple-eyed monkey, I will definitely not spare him." ”

Lin Yue asked, "Why is it called that purple-eyed monkey?"

Tao Yao smiled and said: "Brother Lin, you don't know, that son's surname is Hou, and he is also the son of a noble in the city, who often runs rampant on the street, and last time he was bumped into by the young lady and taught a good lesson, both eyes were purple." As if remembering the scene at that time, Tao Yao couldn't help laughing out loud.

Tao Qi said again: "These guys, usually don't see other skills, but they are good at bullying people, and they can do it if they don't teach them a lesson." ”

A few people continued to go shopping, and the pedestrians on the road greeted one after another: "Miss Seven." ”

"Hello Miss Seven. ”

"Miss Seven, look at the newly arrived fruit. ”

Tao Qi also greeted passers-by frequently, and Lin Yue secretly said in his heart: "It seems that this seventh lady's popularity in the city is really good." ”

Under the leadership of Tao Qi, Lin Yue was probably familiar with the Yuanzhou Mansion, especially the stone bridge that was going to come to subdue the soul tonight.

After playing for a long time, several people were about to go back, when a gong sounded on the street, passers-by looked over there, and set up a simple color platform in a small open space in front of a silk village, and a fat man wearing a brocade silk dress came to the stage.

The fat shopkeeper arched his hand and said: "Ladies and gentlemen of Yuanzhou, today is the first anniversary of the opening of my Jinyunfang Yuanzhou Branch, the past year, relying on your care, Bai Thank you, at this time, the owner of my store decided to reward guests for three days, starting from today, all brocade silk will be sold at a discount of 20% in the next three days, and the cotton cloth will be sold at half price." ”

Looking at the lively people buzzing and discussing, the fat shopkeeper signaled everyone to be quiet: "Not only that, but in the past three days, I will arrange a performance in front of Jinyunfang, and I hope that all the villagers will cheer around." As soon as this remark came out, the audience applauded, in this era of lack of daily entertainment, someone can set up a stage to sing a big opera, which is really eye-catching.

Tao Qi naturally wouldn't give up watching the excitement, so he led a few people to squeeze over immediately.

I saw the fat shopkeeper on the stage and said: "This stage singing, everyone must have seen it, there is nothing new." Today to show the villagers some fresh, our proprietor specially invited the music and dance of southern Xinjiang from the country of three dangers, and today let us see the horizon. The audience applauded even more when they heard this.

Lin Yue also knows the Three Dangers Country, which is one of the thirty-six countries in the South China Sea, and the only one bordering the Great Zhou Dynasty in the South China Sea.

The Three Dangers country brings together many ethnic groups and has various folk customs.

I only heard the interracial tune sound behind the stage, and four twelve or thirteen-year-old girls danced on the stage like butterflies, only to see that the costumes they wore were different from those of the Great Zhou Dynasty, four girls wore silver ornaments on their heads, silver rings around their necks, dressed in short clothes, short skirts, dancing barefoot, and the bells tied on their wrists and ankles danced with them.

The audience had never seen such an exotic style, and they were very happy to see it, and some uncles looked at the white arms, toned calves, silky waists and delicate little navels of several girls.

Several little girls sang in unison, although everyone could not understand the three dangers of the Mandarin, but it did not hinder the appreciation, and there were readers in the crowd at the moment: "I have long heard that there are mountain songs and water dances in southern Xinjiang, and today I see it is really beautiful and lovely." ”

Another humanitarian: "It's a pity that there are only mountain songs, and there is no water dance, otherwise it will be ......"

Mountain song and water dance is a unique scenery in southern Xinjiang, the three dangerous countries are mountainous, so the mountain singing tactfully high-pitched, the three dangerous countries are also watery, these young girls are often on the side of the shallows, treading water on the bamboo row and dancing, this one by one dancing elves, and then with the splashing splash is really wonderful.

Several girls stepped aside, but saw another woman on stage, she was different from others, wearing a pink pleated skirt, holding a bamboo flute, her lips and nails were lilac, indescribably charming and enchanting.

Her lips touched the bamboo pipe, and the crisp sound of the bamboo flute came out slowly, and then a figure turned to the stage, and everyone realized that this was the protagonist on the stage.

Silence - silence incomparable, many can swear that they have never seen such a beautiful fairy, fluttering dress. Bursts of fragrance, how can the dancing girl in front of her be described with words such as bright eyes and bright teeth, skin like clotted fat?

Although his personal aesthetics are different, Lin Yue knows that whether he is silent or soft, the other women he has seen before are not as good as the beauty in front of him, even the priest of Miaoyan is slightly inferior to this woman.

If you have to describe it, it is that when you close your eyes, the most peaceful and refreshing scenery is the feeling she gives people.
