Chapter 261: The Li Family's Big House
Huang Liangliang was also going to get on the bus to the hotel with the people of the exchange group, but was stopped by Ye Zhuoqun, and said to her with a smile: "Liangliang, you go back to my uncle's house with us, and I have already asked my aunt to say hello to Teacher Yuan." ”
Huang Liangliang didn't expect Ye Zhuoqun to cut first and then play like this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said helplessly: "Then you have to at least let me tell my senior brother, you also know his person, if I don't know about him, he will definitely be angry when he goes back, the kind that can't be coaxed." ”
"I've already figured this out for you. Ye Zhuoqun pointed in the direction of the exchange group as he spoke, and saw Wu Xuelin carrying his suitcase and walking towards them very reluctantly.
"I gave him two choices, one is to follow the exchange group, and the other is to follow us, which do you think he will choose?" Ye Zhuoqun asked with a sly smile.
Huang Liangliang didn't have anything to say this time, Ye Zhuoqun didn't do anything, and directly turned his senior brother over.
Ye Zhuoqun's uncle's family sent two or two luxury cars to pick them up. The three girls, Ye Xumei and Huang Liangliang, took one car, and the two boys, Huang Sang and Wu Xuelin, took another car.
Wu Xuelin was obviously still a little stunned by Huang Sang, and when he got into the car, he was awkward, and first watched Huang Sang sit in the passenger seat, and then got into the back seat.
The car drove very fast, but it was also very stable, Huang Liangliang and Wang Ping sat in the car and didn't care about chatting, just looking at the street scene outside, the street scene of Aomen is very different from Xiangjiang, there is no such bustling trend, but it is full of old and quiet, which makes Huang Liangliang feel familiar and close.
On the streets of Omen, there are many notices posted, such as that a certain Buddhist master will give a lecture at Lianfeng Temple, and that a certain Taoist master will preach at a certain place, so please attend on time. There are also Christianity, Catholicism, anyway, it is compatible with China and the West, and it is inclusive of everything.
"Why are there so many monks, Taoist priests, nuns, and missionaries on the road?" Wang Ping asked with some novelty as she looked at these people interspersed on the street.
Ye Zhuoqun was accustomed to it, and explained: "The native Han culture of Omen is very strong, and no country can beat the Han people, so the integration of China and the West has always been harmonious and different. The people of Omen are also very inclusive, accepting and accommodating all cultures and religions, and everyone lives in harmony without interference, so there is such a scene, and religions from all countries like to come here to preach. ”
Wang Ping nodded as if she didn't understand, "In this way, Aomen is really a good place." ”
"That's natural, otherwise my great-great-grandfather wouldn't have decided to move his family here. Ye Zhuoqun said very agreeably. As he spoke, the car had already arrived at the Li family's mansion.
According to Ye Xumei, this is a more authentic Lingnan house, so there are very few traditional mansions now, it is said that when this mansion was built, it was by the mountains and rivers, coincidentally, the central location of the mansion and today's landmark Macau Tower are on the same axis, and it must have been studied before the house.
Huang Liangliang and a few people walked inside with the servants who came out to greet them, carefully looked at the ceiling and lintel above their heads, and she found that there was a hidden mystery inside, probably because the ancestors of the Ye family came into contact with Western culture very early, and this house was also built in a Chinese and Western "mixed style", using a lot of Western decorative elements.
Further inside, the green plants grow out of the cracks in the brick walls, and the stone steps are lightly stained with moss. Maybe it's because it had just rained in the morning, and the mansion still reveals the fragrance of earth.
The group walked through the rooms on the first floor, each of which was very spacious and transparent. The rows of large windows are particularly elaborate, the roofs and beams are built in Chinese style, and the painted and clay bas-reliefs on the walls are all in Chinese style.
"Most of the rooms on this floor are for the next people, the second and third floors are where my uncle and cousin live, and we are now going to the living room on the first floor, and my uncle and they should be waiting for us there." Ye Zhuoqun explained to everyone on the side.
Huang Liang nodded brightly, such a big house structure is very different from the courtyard house she is familiar with, but it also has a different regional style, thinking that many of the ancestral homes of the Li family should be this kind of mansion.
As soon as Huang Liangliang entered, he saw a couplet hanging on the wall of the hall.
Huang Liangliang's ancient literary attainments are good, and he can naturally understand them, which probably means: don't ask how much you can do, but you must feel at ease and don't be ashamed of your life. Just looking at this couplet, you can see that Grandma Ye's family style is rigorous, and it should also be a poetry and book heirloom.
Both the decoration and the furniture in the living room are very exquisite, with both classical Chinese elegance and some low-key luxury in the West, from these exquisite decorations, it is not difficult to peek into the luxurious life of the Li family.
Huang Liangliang only took a cursory look, then gathered his mind and followed Ye Zhuoqun to the front.
At this time, there were two old men sitting on the main seat of the living room, although both of them had gray hair, but there were not too many wrinkles on their faces, the men were in good spirits and elegant temperament, wearing a black Tang costume, and the women were kind and amiable, wearing a silver-gray cheongsam, so that people could not tell their age at a glance.
"Uncle, aunt. Ye Xumei was the first to call the two of them, with an affectionate attitude.
The old man, who was called the eldest aunt by Ye Xumei, hurriedly got up and took her hand, and said with a very moved expression: "Ah Mei, it's great that you can come this time, after so many years, you still haven't changed at all, I remember the last time I saw you, it was still at your wedding, and more than ten years have passed." ”
This old lady of the Li family's generation, her maiden name is He, and her maiden name is Yici, but after marrying into the Li family, she has been called Li He Yici by outsiders.
Li He Yici was pulling Ye Xumei to recall the past, Ye Zhuoqun had already come up from behind, and shouted a little shyly: "Uncle, uncle." ”
When Li He Yici saw her, a flash of joy flashed on her face, and she immediately hugged her and said: "Nannan has grown taller again, when you came last year, you were about the same as my aunt and me, and this year I am so much taller than my aunt and mother-in-law, our Nannan looks so good, more beautiful than those Xiangjiang stars, I really envy Ah Qin, with such a caring and beautiful granddaughter like you by your side." ”
