Chapter 18 The members of the Guo Mansion are unfriendly
The three of them got on the ox cart of Guo's house, and it was Guo Zixing's wife and brother who drove the car. The young man www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion is not very old, but his body shape is similar to Guo Zixing, and his name is Zhang Tianyou. He often heard his brother-in-law praise Liu Dashan for his bravery, and he made a special trip to grab the coachman's errand today, wanting to have a sneak peek and see how his brother-in-law praised him.
After Guo Zixing introduced the two, he couldn't wait to talk to Liu Dashan about what happened after they separated from each other, and his smile gradually faded when he talked about the current situation.
Liu Xiuying looked around and listened to the whispers of the two.
In the early years, Guo Zixing and Liu Dashan did a few big deals, and they were chased by officers and soldiers, and they all fled back to their hometowns to develop. Liu Dashan is a real golden basin to wash his hands and change his mind. Guo Zixing played the trick of "repairing the plank road in the bright and Chen Cang in the dark". He had a house in the city, and his neighbors knew him to be a wealthy and philanthropic man. He also has a farm outside the city, which gathers people from all walks of life and nine ranks, and often does some robberies and robberies.
These characters are all ruthless characters who are famous and shouted in the rivers and lakes, they have the same interests as Guo Zi, and they both like to do business without capital. However, they generally only rob Yuan people and corrupt officials, one is because they hate Yuan people and corrupt officials, and the other is that ordinary people really have nothing to fish. Over time, their behavior has won a chivalrous reputation in the rivers and lakes, and more and more heroes have come to join them.
The small farm can no longer accommodate more than a hundred heroes, Guo Zixing's eyes gradually wandered on the mottled city wall of Dingyuan, and sighed: "Brother Xian, if this city is ours, how good it would be, one day I will ......"
Liu Dashan's heart froze, and he hurriedly interrupted the other party's words, "Big brother, let's go back and talk about it." ”
"Hehe, what are you afraid of? The car is full of our own people. Guo Zixing waved his hand disappreciably, but he still listened to the advice and did not continue.
Liu Xiuying raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly, just because the city government still wants to do a big business, it seems that Dad's brother is a little unreliable.
When she arrived at Guo's mansion, before Liu Xiuying stepped through the door, two boys surrounded her, pointed at her and shouted very impolitely: "Daddy, who is this kid?"
Is there something wrong with the eyes of this family? Am I a woman? Liu Xiuying completely forgot that she was still dressed as a tomboy, and she didn't look at the two people in front of her, so she simply turned her head away and observed the environment of Guo's mansion.
The mansion faces north and south, and the light is excellent, with high walls and towering trees not blocking the sunlight. The entrance is a spacious patio surrounded by white jade flower beds, and there is a stone road on each side leading to the second verandah. Beyond the green tiles on the verandah, you can vaguely see several hanging flower gatehouses in the inner courtyard.
Look, this scale should cover an area of more than a dozen acres, which is several times larger than my own home. Retracting her gaze, Liu Xiuying had to admit that Guo Zixing was really richer than her father, no wonder she had the capital to rebel.
"Tianxu, Tianjue, don't be rude! This is your Uncle Liu and the sister of the Liu family. Guo Zixing's face sank, and he shouted to his two sons: "Don't hurry up and salute the guests." ”
"Sir, what are you losing your temper again?" As a strange word fell, two women and two girls walked out of the arch of the verandah.
The woman in the lead was in her thirties, medium height, and slightly wealthy. She wore a fallen horse bun and a garnet-red silk horse-faced skirt with a collarless half-arm. The goose egg face is covered with red rouge, and her complexion is snow-white. A pair of almond eyes under the carefully groomed eyebrows shone sharply, and they looked at everyone with thin lips as if they were smiling.
The woman standing behind her was younger than she looked, with a snail bun and a pink and white skirt. The face is slightly powdered, the facial features are beautiful, the eyebrows are curved, the eyelids are slightly drooping, and the thick eyelashes block the eyes, but the tight lips and the bleak figure still reveal a trace of resentment.
The two girls leaning beside the woman in a fallen bun wore a double bun and each wore a fur bibi. The older one looks about the same age as Liu Xiuying, and the younger one is about six or seven years old. The two girls can be regarded as beautiful embryos, born with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, white and tender complexion, and a small nose slightly upturned, very cute.
Liu Xiuying was hit hard, when she was at home, her father and mother called "baby baby" every day, and the guests who came also praised her for being well-behaved, which caused her vanity to be highly inflated, and she really thought that she was about to sink into the goose. However, compared with these two girls, they are dwarfed at the moment, looking at how delicate their facial features are, with black hair, big eyes, and white skin, but they have yellow hair, single eyelids, and a wheat complexion...... Alas, people are more angry than people.
Guo Tianxu and Guo Tianjue saw the four of them, and while calling "mother, sister", they hid behind the leading woman.
Guo Zixing had to suppress his anger and introduced to Liu Dashanren: "These are your two sisters-in-law...... This is the Brother Liu I often mention......"
The two women are Guo Zixing's wife and concubine, surnamed Zhang, and are said to be a pair of sisters.
It is the big Zhang who combs the horse bun, and the one who combs the snail bun is the little Zhang family. The two ladies are quite handsome in appearance, but their personalities are far from the north. The eldest Zhang is a concubine and is flamboyant and has a pungent personality, while the younger Zhang is a concubine and is low-key and has a gentle personality.
The eldest Zhang gave birth to a son and two daughters, and the younger Zhang gave birth to a son. The four children are named Guo Tianxu, Guo Daya, Guo Xiaoya, and Guo Tianjue.
After everyone finished greeting and walked to the inner courtyard, Zhang Tianyou had already met Liu Dashan, and the curiosity in his heart faded, so he said goodbye and left. He usually does not live in Guo's mansion, and as Guo Zixing's confidant, he has to stay at the farm at all times to observe whether those who turn to Guo Zixing are reliable.
Liu Xiuying fell behind and secretly looked at Da Zhang's family. As the saying goes, born from the heart, this eldest lady has hanging eyes and thin lips, it is definitely not easy to get along, she can easily suppress Guo Zixing's anger with a word, she must be a lightweight figure in Guo Mansion. It's better to deal less with such people.
"What are you looking at? Are you really a girl? Much uglier than my two sisters. ”
A dirty hand suddenly stretched out next to her, which shocked Liu Xiuying's footsteps and glared angrily, it was Guo Tianxu who yelled at her before.
He was in his early teens and wore a dark green jacquard shirt. His face was black and red, he stared at a pair of big eyes like copper bells, two provocative ears were more conspicuous than the horns on his head, Bai Sensen's teeth were on his thick lips, and he had a malicious smile on his face
Guo Tianjue, who was holding his shirt, was only five years old, combing a pigtail to the sky, the satin shirt on his body was so dirty that he couldn't tell what color it was, and his face was as miserable as a cat. He opened his dark eyes and looked at Liu Xiuying curiously, and then at his brother.
It seems that Uncle Guo's two sons have inherited his appearance, but the two daughters have inherited his wife's appearance, this kind of genetic inheritance is really wonderful. Liu Xiuying couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion at the magical creator, and deliberately ignored Guo Tianxu's ugly words.
"Talking to you, ugly girl!" Guo Tianxu continued to stretch out his hand and shake it in front of Liu Xiuying's eyes. The guests who usually come to his house, who doesn't praise him, the stinky girl in front of him actually turned a blind eye, and the arrogant Guo Tianxu became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and his face gradually became gloomy.
"You're the ugly bastard!" which pot didn't open which pot, Liu Xiuying, who was depressed, lowered her voice and scolded back. She admits that she is not as good-looking as Guo Zixing's daughter, but Guo Zixing's son - to be honest, she is uncomfortable when she looks at it more.
"Who do you say is the ugly monster?" Guo Tianxu's eyes widened more and more, and he grabbed Liu Xiuying and didn't let go.
"Whoever talks to you is ugly. Liu Xiuying shook off the dirty hand and warned angrily: "Don't mess with me, be careful that I beat you!"
"You're still going to fight, let's go to the patio and make a fight. Guo Tianxu's eyes lit up, and he actually reached out to pull Liu Xiuying's clothes again.
Liu Xiuying twisted her body, walked quickly to Liu Dashanren's side, and followed everyone into the inner courtyard.
Entering the archway, the spacious inner courtyard is immediately revealed. A lotus pond is dug in the center, the green willows hang around, the lotus leaves in the fields ripple with the waves, the pink buds are slim and elegant, the fragrance bursts, and it makes people feel refreshed and happy.
The inner courtyard is connected with the verandah on all sides, the wing room, the main room, the flower hall are all available, and there is a road leading to the hanging flower gatehouse behind the east and west corners, which is the place where the female dependents live.
Guo Zixing arranged the father and daughter of the Liu family in the wing room on the east side. Originally, Liu Xiuying was going to live in Guo Daya and Guo Xiaoya's yard, but Liu Xiuying insisted on living with her father. Guo Zixing simply asked someone to clean out a guest room next to Liu Dashan's room.
"Dad, are we going to live here?" Liu Xiuying felt a little irritated when she thought of the eldest lady who hid needles in her cotton and the endless little child.
"What's wrong?" Liu Dashan looked at the house, the finely carved Arhat bed, the brand-new brocade quilt embroidered, and the ground paved with blue bricks was spotless, and it could be seen that Brother Guo was attentive.
"I'm not used to it. Liu Xiuying bit her lip, embarrassed to say that she had a bad impression of Uncle Guo's family.
"I am like brothers to your Uncle Guo, you just have to treat this as our own home. Seeing that the girl was silent, Liu Dashan persuaded with kind words: "We are about to leave as soon as we come, which will chill your Uncle Guo's heart." Stay for a while, and when we bring your mother here, we'll rent another house. ”
Liu Xiuying nodded silently, Dad came to Dingyuan to discuss the uprising with Uncle Guo, and he really shouldn't make emotions to embarrass Dad and Uncle Guo.
"Master Liu, Miss Liu, Master Liu, please go to the flower hall. A servant came respectfully to speak
There were all kinds of pastries and fruits on the table, and when he saw that everyone was seated, Guo Zixing asked the servants to serve the food.
The servants shuttled like water, and after a while, dishes such as flower cooking quails, lychee white loins, three crispy soups, sheep tongue sticks, sprout belly, and sand fish were all on the table.
Guo Zixing joked to Liu Xiuying with a smile, "The food cooked by my chef is no worse than the banquet in the restaurant, Xiuying's niece is welcome, just pick whatever you want to eat, this is specially prepared for your father and daughter." ”
Liu Xiuying saw that the saliva on the table was about to flow out, how could she still have the time to do the battle of tongues, pick up the chopsticks and pick the dishes in front of her.
A discordant voice suddenly sounded, Guo Tianxu pretended to be surprised and shouted: "Why is the younger sister of the Liu family not polite at all, the elders didn't move the chopsticks, how can the juniors move the chopsticks first?"
The other children let out a low laugh in agreement.
Liu Xiuying's face is red, and she is used to being casual with her father and mother at home, forgetting that this is not her own home. However, she had an idea, and put the dishes she picked into Liu Dashanren's bowl, and said as if no one was around: "Daddy is in a hurry, fill your stomach first." ”
This move not only resolved Liu Xiuying's embarrassment, but also reflected her filial piety. Liu Dashan happily closed his mouth and picked a piece of food for his daughter, "You can eat some too." Then he beckoned to everyone, "Let's all eat, we haven't eaten since the morning, and we are indeed a little hungry, so you're welcome." ”
"Yes, yes, eat two mouthfuls of food to fill my stomach first, and then I will have a few drinks with Brother Liu. A few of you, you also have to learn from Xiuying's niece and see how sensible people are. Guo Zixing urged everyone with a loud voice.
Liu Xiuying proudly glanced at Guo Tianxu, who had a black face: Sample, you want to see my jokes, you are still a little tender!
