Chapter 40: The Banquet (1)
The Rong family is across the street from the Zhou family and lives on Donghu Street. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info into Layue, there are a lot of people on the street, and the carriage walks very slowly.
Evian sat on his horse and muttered dissatisfiedly, "Why is it so slow! I don't know when I'll be there! ”
Lan Xin put his hands in his warm sleeves, looked at her with a gentle smile, and explained good-naturedly: "I'm walking in the market now, and the people can't run, just wait to turn the alley in front of you." ”
"Really, on such a cold day, I don't know how to make a pot of hot tea, it's really getting stupid and stupid!" Evian glared at Yuan'er fiercely and reprimanded mercilessly.
The carriage was originally not big, if it weren't for Lan Xin arranging Ziyi and Lumei into the car behind, this car wouldn't have been able to sit down at all. Yuxue thought about it and arranged Xiaohong next to her to the car behind, but the current compartment was still not spacious. Yuan'er was squeezed into the corner, and when she heard her own girl in front of the eldest girl and the second girl, she counted like this, her eyes were red with grievances, and crystal tears were swirling in her eye sockets.
Lan Xin sighed in his heart: Alas, it's really not worry-free for a while. I had to say: "It's inconvenient to go out as a guest and drink too much tea." He turned his head to look at Yuan'er and said, "Put away the tears and let others see them, but hit your girl in the face." The tone was very gentle, but the temperature in the carriage plummeted.
"Yes, the slave knows." Yuan'er quickly put away her tears and admitted her mistake in a low voice.
Evian looked up at Lan Xin and opened his mouth, but he finally didn't dare to speak again.
The carriage stopped, and Lan Xin knew that Rong Fu must have arrived, so he glanced at Yuan'er. "Huh?" Yuan was stunned and looked back in confusion.
"Ah, it's here?" Evian screamed and raised his hand to open the curtain. Yuxue was also curious, and craned her neck to look out.
Lan Xin quickly pressed Evian's hand, calmly and gently looking at Evian with a puzzled and dissatisfied face. Yu Xuejue seemed to understand, and although she couldn't say why, she still sat back obediently. Although Evian was reluctant, he was defeated and slowly lowered his hand to lift the curtain.
Lan Xin glared at Yuan'er, who was still ignorant, and Yuan'er was excited, pushed the car door and jumped down. After getting out of the car, she looked at the unfamiliar environment in front of her and felt nervous, but she didn't dare to go back to the car.
In her nervous time, Ziyi had already gotten out of the car behind, followed by Lumei and Xiaohong. Yuan'er looked at the three people with smiles on their faces, and felt a little envious in her heart, regretting that she didn't huddle with them.
The little guy in the concierge was about twelve or thirteen years old, and he was very clever, and when he saw the Zhou family's car coming, he quickly moved the stool to the front of the car. Ziyi smiled and thanked him, and stuffed a purse over. The little girl nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Sister Ziyi." ”
Ziyi opened the curtain and reached out to help Lan Xin get out of the car. When Yuan'er saw this, she came to her senses and realized how much of a mistake she had made. I was a little annoyed and flustered, and I didn't understand how I always realized it today. The little girl saw Lan Xin get out of the car, and Ma Yu'er stepped forward to salute: "The little one has seen the girl." ”
Yuxue and Evian who came to Rongfu for the first time got out of the car and were stunned by the grandeur of Rongfu. Not to mention how much the entire Rong Mansion is much bigger than the Zhou family, that is, the gate of the Rong family is twice as large as the gate of the Zhou Mansion, spacious and atmospheric. On both sides of the gate stand two white marble statues. Like the same as "auspicious", the elephant trunk is good at absorbing water, and water is wealth. The Rong family is a business family, it is not surprising that there are two elephants placed at the door, to their surprise, these two white marble stone statues are exquisitely carved and beautiful, they have never seen such a beautiful stone elephant, and the two gray and white elephants at the door of Zhou's house are compared with these two elephants, which is simply the slag of the soil.
Xue Shan looked at Miss Zhou in everyone's mouth, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, looking at her with complicated eyes. When Lan Xin's eyes looked over, he was shocked to realize that he was rude, and bowed down and said, "The little one has seen the girl, and the girl is fine." ”
Lan Xin smiled and looked at the person in front of him, looking at it quietly, although this person had never seen it, he had a familiar feeling. Moreover, whether it was saluting or speaking, although he did not deliberately show it, Lan Xin was still keenly aware of his heartfelt respect.
Seeing Lan Xin looking at Xue Shan, another little guy came over with a smile and explained: "Girl, his name is Xue Shan, he is a distant relative of Brother Changping, and he hasn't been here for a long time, so the girl will feel good." ”
"Oh, I see." Lan Xin said with a smile, admiring the little girl's cleverness, "Next time, let Sister Ziyi bring you a bag of pine nut candy." ”
"Thank you, girl!" The little guy smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth.
Lan Xin glanced at Ziyi, who handed a purse to Xue Shan.
"The old slave has seen the girl." A mother Qi wearing a navy blue cotton bikini came over with a smile, "The green cloth car is ready, it's cold, the girl should hurry up and get in the car." Mother Qi was followed by two well-dressed middle-aged servants, holding whips in their hands, and two green cloth carts parked not far away.
"There's Lauzie's mother." Lan Xin said with a smile, Mother Qi is also the mother in Mrs. Rong's yard, but she is not as high as Mother Wu's status, and she is only a second-class housekeeper mother.
"Mother Qi has worked hard." Ziyi smiled and handed over a purse.
Mother Qi held Ziyi's hand with both hands, looked at Lan Xin and said with a smile: "Oh, the girl is polite, these are all things that the old slave should do." ”
"It's cold, so my mother can take it to have a glass of wine to drive away the cold." Lan Xin said with a smile.
"The old slave thanks the girl." When Mother Qi withdrew her hand, she also took the purse in Ziyi's hand by the way, and pinched it quietly, feeling very satisfied. Thinking that the eldest girl actually remembered her hobby, the smile on her face couldn't help but deepen, and she greeted Yuxue and Evian warmly: "Yo! These two must be the second girl and the third girl, right? ”
"Yes, this is the second sister Yuxue, and the third sister Evian. This is Mama Qi. Lan Xin introduced with a smile.
Mother Qi curtsied and said, "The old slave has seen two girls. ”
Yuxue and Evian hadn't recovered from the shock of entering the door, and just nodded simply, which was considered a response. They had only heard that the Rong Mansion was rich before, but they didn't expect it to be so rich.
His eyes looked around, and he was amazed at what he saw. Looking at the clothes worn by the people in the house, the material is better than what they usually wear. There is also a green cloth car not far away, which is simple and atmospheric. And the two little donkeys, whose fur is neatly combed, are they like the dirty and listless donkeys I saw in the countryside when I was a child?
I wondered: I'm at the door, where are I going to take the car?
