Chapter 245: White Mansion
Chengnan Baifu, a fallen family. Although the two stone lions in front of the door have been devoured by the years, they still raised their heads majestically and solemnly, their eyes looking straight ahead, and they looked like they would never be violated. The gate of Baifu is a dark gray wooden door, which looks a little old, the wooden door has rotted under it, the paint of the wooden door has been mottled and scattered, and the ring on the door buckle has also lost color, which looks gray and abnormal.
Wanqing helped Wen Aya to stand under the stone steps in front of the gate of the White Mansion and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, she tried her best to pass through such a mottled and zeroed door, hoping to see the different and beautiful scenes inside the White Mansion. However, her vision was not penetrating after all, she could not see what was inside. The heart of anticipation was also shattered with such an old wooden door.
"Miss, this ...... Is it my uncle's house?"
"It should be. "Although Wen Aya is wearing the clothes of a maid today, her pink clothes will make her complexion more ruddy and beautiful, and her temperament is expensive but not floating.
"Wanqing, go up and knock on the door and see if anyone is there?"
"Yes, Miss!" Wanqing reluctantly walked slowly towards the White Mansion. If she had known that Bai Muzhen was such a person, she would not have helped the young lady to find Bai Muzhen. She thought that the men who could participate in the Miss Hydrangea throwing were either rich or expensive, so how could she think of it......
She approached the gate of Baifu, reached out and grabbed the door ring buckle, patted it hard, and shouted loudly: "Hey, is there anyone inside?" She patted for a long time, screamed for a long time, and didn't see anyone come out to open the door, so she turned around and walked to Wen Aya's side, "Miss, there is no one in Baifu." ”
"Hmm. Wen Aya was a little disappointed, but it was already something she expected. It was because she missed Bai Muzhen too much that she came over in a disproportionate manner.
She sighed slightly, turned around and was about to go back to the house with Wanqing, when she suddenly heard a 'squeak' behind her, and the door of the White Mansion slowly opened.
Wen Aya quickly turned around and saw an old man in his sixties, wearing a dark gray cotton coat and a dark gray cotton hat. His beard was pure white, which contrasted sharply with his dark gray hat and clothes, making him look even older. However, he didn't look like an old dragon clock. On the contrary, the eyes are refreshed, the waist is straight, and the appearance is plain.
Wen Aya saw that this old man thought it was Bai Muzhen's father, but she felt strange that this person was not like Bai Muzhen at all.
The old man opened the door and saw Wen Aya and Wanqing under the stone steps in front of the door, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, but it was only fleeting. He looked at Wen Aya and nodded slightly, and asked respectfully, "May I ask the girl, were you knocking on the door of our Baifu just now?"
Wen Aya hurriedly bowed to the old man and replied respectfully: "Yes, old uncle, I'...... I'm here to find Bai Gongzi. I wonder if Bai Gongzi can be in the mansion?"
Although she was ashamed to say the purpose of this time, she did it anyway. It's just because the old man gives people a very plain and warm feeling. In front of him, she didn't seem to have to hide it, and there was no need to be shy.
The old man immediately walked out, bowed to Wen Aya, and replied, "It turns out that the girl is looking for my master." If the girl doesn't dislike it, invite the girl to sit in the house for a while, and my master will return to the house in a few moments. ”
"Really?" Wen Ayayi blurted out happily.
"Really. The old man nodded deeply to show that he was right, and made a gesture of please.
Wen Aya hurriedly walked towards the White Mansion.
Wanqing stretched out her hand and secretly tugged at Wen Aya's sleeve, and whispered in her ear: "Miss, we don't know who this person is, so let's go in like this, isn't it?"
The old man's hearing seemed to be very good, and as soon as Wanqing finished saying these words, he looked at Wanqing and smiled: "This girl, the villain is Wu Yicheng, the head of the White Mansion." My master, Bai Mu Zhenbai, is the tenth generation of my family's Bai Mansion, and he is the eldest of the villain. Thanks to my master, he doesn't dislike the villain's lowly status, and usually the master calls the villain Grandpa Wu. Of course, although my Baifu is a lost family, it can definitely afford to entertain two distinguished guests. As long as the two girls don't dislike it, my Baifu will do everything to entertain the two VIPs. ”
"Well, you know we're VIPs?" Wanqing was very unhappy, but she didn't dare to say anything more. After all, her young lady looked like she really wanted to enter the White Mansion, what reason did she have to be a slave and maid? She stretched out her hand, gently took Wen Aya's hand, and slowly walked up the stone steps in front of the White Mansion with the young lady, and walked towards the gate of the White Mansion.
Grandpa Wu bent down slightly, made a gesture of please, and led the way in front of him, leading Wen Aya and Wanqing to Baifu to lead. Stepping through the gate of the White Mansion, Grandpa Wu waited for Wen Aya and Wanqing to pass, and then closed the gate.
Wanqing was startled when she saw it, and blurted out: "What are you doing, why are you closing?"
Grandpa Wu hurriedly explained: "My Baifu is a lost family, and I am afraid of causing difficulties to my neighbors, so I have become accustomed to closing the door all year round. If the girl thinks it's not good to close the door, the villain will open the door. ”
"No need, Grandpa Wu. What you are used to, you don't have to deliberately change it. Wen Aya hurriedly replied before Wanqing spoke, she looked at Grandpa Wu, and there was a sense of surprise in her heart in addition to respect. I was surprised that Grandpa Wu was gentle and casual, his words were generous and decent, and his cultivation was very profound. On the other hand, her Wanqing has no taste at all, she is a spicy maid, and she speaks unruly. Wen Aya decided that when she went back, she had to teach Wanqing a good lesson.
So it was, the villain obeyed. Grandpa Wu answered, looked at Wen Aya and said, "Girl, please come with the villain." As he spoke, he continued to bring in Wen Aya and Wanqing.
Wen Aya saw that the White Night Mansion was a two-entry house, and the courtyard in front of it was originally planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, but in this cold winter, the flowers and plants had already been adjusted and turned into a yard of withering. There are two bungalows on the left and right sides of the courtyard, and I don't know what they are used for because I haven't looked closer.
When you walk into this courtyard, you will arrive at the second courtyard. The second courtyard is the same as the first courtyard without suspense, with a dry and thankful look, which makes people feel congested. However, unlike the courtyard that enters the courtyard, there are side halls of the main hall here, as well as east and west wings, attics, rockeries, and ponds......
Looking at these, Wen Aya seemed to be able to see that the Bai Mansion before it fell back then was also a big family.
She was about to sigh how long it would take for a big family house to become a fallen family, when suddenly there was a commotion in the east wing, and then a few different women's laughter, one of the delicate female voices asked loudly into the courtyard: "Grandpa Wu, who is visiting?"
Grandpa Wu hurriedly replied inside: "Back to the fifth lady, it was the two girls who came to find it." ”
Fifth Lady?
