Chapter 2 Wuwei Houfu
Kunjing is as prosperous as in memory, and the high walls of Zhumen in Wuwei Houfu are still solemn and magnificent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In front of the main entrance of Houfu is Chaoyang Street, on the left is Jingxiang Mansion, on the right is General He's Mansion, and the three mansions occupy one street, all of which are high walls, overlapping houses, and the whole street is solemn.
Yan Yao passed the letter and said that it was expected that no one would greet her, in her previous life, she desperately pretended to be well-behaved and clever, and she couldn't be welcomed, and in this life, she left home when she was young, and then Yan Shumingzhu was in front, and her second daughter was just a foil outside the foil.
She didn't have time to look at the main gate of the Houfu from waking up to leaving in this life, and now that she has returned, she wants to see how deep the imprint of this place that trapped her for more than ten years in her previous life is still left in this life.
She looked at the jade pillar of the Zhumen, the stone lion green steps, and only felt that this place was very unfamiliar, and the wealth and power she wanted to seize were just the splendid façade of the high wall of the Zhumen, in fact, whether it was the Houfu or the General's Mansion, she was just a canopy of weeds behind the façade.
Yan Yao stood in front of the door and was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Finch, you better go back, when you enter this door, you can no longer be happy like a finch." ”
They would think that the finch was unruly, break her wings, seal her mouth, and put her in the big cage of Houfu and could not fly again.
The deep courtyard was like a grave for her now, and she didn't want to pull the finch and bury her happiness and beauty here.
"Childe said, the finch is born as a young lady in this life, and death is a ghost of the young lady, if the young lady doesn't want the finch, the finch will only become a ghost haunting the young lady."
The finch smiled and spoke, her voice was clear and crisp, and her palm-sized little face had a pair of dark eyes, which were as dazzling as the black jade pills in the white jade plate.
Such a beautiful and lively little girl, Rong Yu just stuffed it to her, but it was really tyrannical.
"Que'er, this is not Zichuan, not the Rong family's Yuling Villa, this high gate and deep courtyard looks gorgeous, but in fact, it is just a filthy quagmire filled with filth, as long as you go in, don't want to come out cleanly, besides, you will not do anything if you are clumsy, it will only make people angry, it is better to go back and be angry with your son-in-law."
Yan Yao turned her head and stared at the finch seriously, she has big eyes, the traces of double eyelids are deeper than ordinary people, the bridge of her nose is straighter than ordinary people, and her facial features are well-defined, which looks gorgeous and dazzling. This makes her look a little like a ray person, which is also the reason why she was the second daughter in her previous life but was not as popular as the concubine.
In the perception of the Han people, the ray people are a barbarian state that does not know etiquette and shame, living on the coast of the East China Sea, it is said that their father and daughter, brother and sister can marry, and act like beasts, in addition, they are violent and very warlike, and they almost disappeared after being driven to the bitter cold land by Emperor Cheng of Chu fifty years ago.
The old Hou Ye once said that their Yan family is indeed the descendant of the Ray people, and the Yan Qi who laid the façade of this Hou Mansion is the Ray people!
Yan Qi relied on a giant axe to earn this splendid mansion for the Yan family, earned this hereditary title, and when it came to Yan Zicheng, that is, Yan Yao's father's generation, he began to be ashamed of the blood of the ray people.
This is also one of the reasons why the old man insists on leaving the house to travel the world, and he does not want to live with a group of juniors who are ashamed of their ancestors.
The old grandfather Yan Weixiao was born with profound facial features, and it was not so obvious when Yan Zicheng arrived.
Now that three generations have passed, I can't imagine that the characteristics of the ray people have clearly appeared in Yan Yao's body again.
At this time, she is fine, but her facial features are more distinct than ordinary girls, and in two years, she will be more and more gorgeous, with long hands and long legs, and a slender figure.
And the beauties appreciated by the people of this era are Chu Chu delicate, like Yan Yao's mist-like eyes, falling cherry blossom-like pale pink lips, and the waist that seems to break if you touch it lightly is the favorite of the nobles.
The body is enchanting and the appearance is gorgeous, and it is always a little kitsch.
At this time, men are also the most hypocritical, always wanting a façade with a green face, and the back of the door is full of enchantment.
Yan Yao sneered in her heart, and after patiently persuading Que'er again and again to no avail, she sighed and pulled Que'er to the side door.
As soon as Yan Yao's hand slapped on the door, the door opened with a 'squeak', and a strange gray-robed man opened the door, opened his mouth and said, "But Second Miss?" ”
The two of them in front of him were dressed the same, so she couldn't tell who was the young lady.
"I am."
Yan Yao smiled and responded.
"Second Miss, please come in, the eldest lady ordered it early in the morning, let the little one meet the second miss here, the yard has already been cleaned up, the second miss is tired, please go to the bath and rest first, the eldest lady and the waiter, Mrs., and the son are entertaining distinguished guests in the front hall, and they will come to visit the second miss later."
The man's eyes quickly slipped around the front of the street, and invited Yan Yao'er into the door like a thief, with a smile on his lips, and he slightly bowed and led Yan Yao to the backyard.
In the previous life, when Yan Shu, the eldest lady of the house, was twelve years old, the Zhou family handed over the affairs of the house to her, and now Yan Shu is almost in time, and she has already done it handy, it seems that the same is true in this life, and the affairs in the house are arranged by Yan Shu.
It's just that this banquet requires Houfu Mingyue to come forward, and the guest is not ordinarily expensive.
"There is labor."
Yan Yao didn't move, followed the man with a light smile, and suddenly was pulled off the corner of his clothes by Finch, Yan Yao glanced at Finch, and shook his head gently.
Rong Yu wanted to stuff some gold and silver for her to take care of, but she refused to accept it, so he stuffed it into the finch, probably telling her to reward people when she saw them, just like he always had a mess of snacks on his body, and he would give one when he touched a child.
Yan Yao's favorite act in her previous life was to buy people's hearts, and later found out that it was all a joke, she used gold and silver to buy the news around the lady and the ladies, many times as soon as she turned her head, the servants and maids sent the gold and silver to the ladies and ladies, and after getting the praise and reward of the ladies and ladies, she turned around and coaxed her again, this fool, now I think about it and feel pitiful and pathetic.
In this life, she is going to be an iron rooster, and she will not be entertained anyway, and she has no money anyway.
Yan Yao followed the manservant to the Pearl Garden in the backyard, which was still the yard where she lived when she was a child, across the lake from Yan Shu's Mingyue Garden. In the garden, there are butterflies dancing on the left, and the flowers are blooming, and a few peach trees on the right are full of fruit and are almost ripe.
Pearl, bright moon, the difference of one word, the difference of heaven and earth.
Yan Yao sent her four close envoys, four attendants from the outer courtyard, and four miscellaneous envoys.
As the second daughter, in order to show the difference from the concubine, there is a small kitchen in her Pearl Garden, so there are two cooks among those servants.
Seeing Yan Yao's smiling but indifferent appearance, the finch sighed quietly and began to pull things out of the purse on her waist.
Sure enough, what the finch took out was pieces of delicately carved and lustrous jade ornaments. It is all prepared by Rongque, Zichuan is rich, ordinary jade is very cheap, and the price has increased a lot in Kunjing, and it is not bad to use it to enjoy people.
Yan Yao glanced at it and stared at the string of bells at the corner of the eaves in a daze, it was probably hung up when she was a child, it was rusty, and she had no impression.
She was standing there when she was blinded by a blinding light.
Turning his head to look at it, he couldn't help but be stunned, it seems to be amethyst, what are the finches doing with amethyst?
The reason why Zichuan is called Zichuan is because of amethyst. Amethyst is generally used to be embedded in bracelets or hairpins, which is more precious than gold, not to mention, and has no price.
Amethyst is mined not much every year, and the top grades are basically sent to the palace, and then distributed to the concubines and noblewomen, which is a symbol of status.
In the Rong family, the dolls use amethyst as marbles to play, but out of Zichuan, it is a sign of identity and worth, which ordinary people can't buy with money.
What does he want to do?
