Chapter 159 Yangzhou City Soul Dream 1
The world is divided into three bright moonlit nights, and the two scoundrels are Yangzhou. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It is said that Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug a canal at the expense of the people and money in order to appreciate the Qionghua. At this time, Emperor Sui had long disappeared into the dust and smoke of history, and Qionghua was not in season, but Yangzhou City, which prospered with the canal, was still vividly displayed in the Chen sisters.
The roads of Yangzhou City are not inferior to Jiangning, and the prosperity can be compared with Gusu, even compared to Hangzhou at a glance, Chen Suqing also feels a little more romantic.
Chen Subing held it in his hand and looked out for a long time before turning his head to the people in the car: "The people in Yangzhou City are so good at dressing up, their clothes and jewelry are so good-looking, I think I can smell the smell of fragrant powder on their bodies here." ”
Chen Suqing and Xiangning heard her say this, they both lowered their heads and laughed at her, but Baoqi didn't speak, still staring blankly outside, and a little tear slowly welled up in her eyes.
Seeing her demeanor, Chen Subing hurriedly asked, "Aunt Qi, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing this, Bao Qi hurriedly retracted his gaze, shook his head, and sighed: "'I dream of Yangzhou once in ten years. The second lady often recited this poem, and now that I have arrived in Yangzhou, she has not been able to come to see it, and I don't know if she is okay in Huizhou. ”
When Chen Subing heard this, his face also had a little sadness, so he lowered the curtain, turned around, looked at Baoqi and said, "Mother must be homesick, she hasn't been back to Yangzhou for a long time." ”
Baoqi nodded and said, "Yes, when your grandmother died that year, I came back with the second owner and the second lady, and then your family was not in a good situation, and the second owner was often entangled in affairs." So even when your grandfather died, we didn't come back. ”
"It's been more than ten years. After Baoqi finished speaking, he was stunned again, and sighed: "Outside, there are so many places, I can't recognize it." ”
Chen Suqing listened to her words, thoughtfully, picked up a crack in the curtain, and looked out. I saw a lot of traffic, rushing back and forth, but I don't know how many embarrassing things everyone has.
Chen Subing in the car was interested, and said to Bao Qi: "Aunt Qi, we don't know much about my mother's family, you can tell us." ”
Hearing this, Bao Qi lowered his head and rubbed his hands, and said, "Where do you start here?"
Chen Subing tilted her body and said coquettishly: "My mother rarely mentions the affairs of her mother's family at home, and she didn't explain it in a hurry when she left. You should always tell us who is in this family, otherwise we won't know what to call when we get to the Feng family. ”
Bao Qi looked out along the curtain of the car and said, "Your grandfather's family has been an official for generations, and it is also a prestigious gateway in Yangzhou. Your maternal grandfather also studied and lifted the judge in Yangzhou. He and your grandmother had only one mother. ”
After speaking, she paused and said, "Later, your grandfather married a concubine and gave birth to two sons. ”
When Chen Subing heard this, he thought for a while and said, "You said earlier that my maternal grandfather and grandmother have all passed away, so my mother's family is left with this concubine and her two sons?"
Chen Suqing has been listening to the two of her talking, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried, her stepdaughter came to the door, and her biological parents might not be willing to take it in, let alone her grandfather's concubine. She glanced at Chen Subing again, and saw that she seemed to be unconscious, pestering and hugging Qi to ask long and short questions, and her heart was even more worried about her.
The carriage walked on flowers and wore incense, drove leisurely in Yangzhou City, stopped in front of an inn, Shen Ping said to her sisters: "It's not early today, it's better to stay in the inn for a day, and go to relatives tomorrow." Everyone was in a hurry, so according to Shen Ping's words, they stayed at the inn first.
That day and night, Shen Ping discussed with Chen Suqing again: "In my opinion, I won't send you to the Feng family, otherwise their official family will see us wanderers in the rivers and lakes, if they are timid and afraid of things, and refuse to let them go, it will not be good." ”
Chen Suqing also nodded in response, and persuaded Shen Ping to return to Suzhou as soon as possible.
Shen Ping saw that he had already seen them sent to Yangzhou, and he thought that there would be nothing to do, so he responded.
Chen Suqing originally wanted to ask Fu Bo to drive him, but Shen Ping insisted on taking a boat by himself, so he set the earliest boat to go down the canal to Suzhou early tomorrow morning.
Early in the morning of the second day, the two sisters drove Shen Ping away, and according to Baoqi's suggestion, they went back to the inn to freshen up and dress up, and changed into neat clothes, so as not to lose their manners.
When she arrived at the door of Feng's house, Chen Suqing couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart, especially for Chen Subing, she was now a little glad that Shen Ping had arranged for her to stay with Chen Subing for a while. even made up her mind that if the Feng family treated her badly, she would never let her be wronged here.
As the people sat in the car, Fauber came forward and handed over the name and letter, and asked the family to pass it on their behalf, and the two sisters waited in the car for a long time before a servant came out and led them into the house.
The two took the maid and followed the Feng family into the flower hall, and the maid came up to have tea. After waiting a little longer, an old woman came out of the back room.
The two sisters looked over, and saw that she was dressed in a dignified but not luxurious manner, only a few ordinary beads, but they were afraid that they were simpler than their mother. The sister thought in her heart, even if it was a concubine, she was also the housekeeper's wife, how could she be so simple, so she was a little unsure whether this was the Ning family, so she turned around and looked at Baoqi.
Seeing the eyes of the two, Bao Qi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "This is your grandmother, the two girls should go to see the ceremony." ”
Before the two Chen Suqing sisters saw the ceremony, Ning stepped forward to support the two of them first, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, where is my grandmother, when your mother was at home, she called me Aunt Ning, and you just called me aunt." ”
The two sisters glanced at each other, and when they saw her say this, they didn't know whether the person in front of them was really modest or falsely polite, and they didn't say much, so they could only bow down and give a salute first.
Ning hurriedly invited the two of them to sit down, and said, "Forgive me for coming out late, just because people are old and slow to act, so they are sluggish." ”
The two sisters hurriedly said that they didn't dare, and Ning smiled again: "I heard the magpie in front of the window early this morning, and sure enough, a distinguished guest came to the door." ”
Chen Suqing was slightly relieved when she heard her say this, listening to her tone, it didn't look like she would drive her two sisters away, and she should be able to provide a place to stay.
Ning Shi said again: "I don't know if our girl is okay? In fact, what is the matter with my birthday, it is difficult for her to remember that she is too careful to send you here!"
When everyone heard this, they were all puzzled in their hearts, and Chen Subing blurted out and asked, "Birthday?
Seeing this, Ning also showed a puzzled expression and asked, "Aren't you here for my birthday?"
