Chapter 215: The Inner Courtyard of the Zhai Family
"It's raining...... the two were silent for a while, and the old man in red suddenly stopped his body and said in a cautious and heavy tone. "Well, what's wrong? uncle?" a few words slipped, and Wang Teng's uncle also called it more pleasing to the eye. "You, did your mother mention your grandfather to you?" After thinking about it, the old man in red continued: Wang Teng looked at the old man in red and walked in front of him without turning around, but Wang Teng felt that at this time he seemed to be waiting for an answer that was very important to him.
"This, no. Wang Teng replied succinctly, strangely enough, his mother never mentioned her family background to herself. Even Wang Teng's father is not very clear. When he was a child, he often remembered his mother crying alone in the moonlight. When someone came, he immediately laughed. Wang Teng knew that his mother had deep thoughts. At that time, she even viciously believed that his mother was unwilling to marry his father. As he grew older, Wang Tengcai denied this. The mother's love for her father and herself was too strong to break. However, in her heart, she always weeps when she doesn't look at the moonlight outside the window in the dead of night.
"No......" The voice of the old man in red was much lower, "Alas, it's been almost 20 years......" The old man in red sighed alone, took a step and continued to walk forward, Wang Teng followed slowly, and he didn't ask stupidly, obviously this time the old man was unhappy. After about ten minutes of walking, it was already dark and the house was buzzing. Lantern after lantern hung outside, illuminating the entire house. The lights are on at the beginning of the day, which is the most relaxing time of the day.
"Master......" "Master" remembered a respectful salutation, and the ladies standing on both sides of the door bowed their heads and saluted, and there were two pages standing at the door, and they stepped forward quickly. "Are they all here?" the old man asked, glancing at him. The second eldest lady, our ancestors, our relatives and elders in our family, and our aunt grandchildren from the outer house are all here. This page opens its mouth and speaks fluently. Wang Teng glanced at it. This page is very well featured, and it's smart.
"Okay, go and call the shopkeeper of Liu Er's house and ask him to inform the housekeeper at home. If you have something urgent tonight, please wait in the next hall. The old man in red said with a straight face. Page was startled, and hurriedly bent down and said, Today's master's aura is not right, from now on, this is the first time to show such an expression, maybe, what will happen in the house, in the same way, he also looked at the old man behind Wang Teng, and after a closer look, Page couldn't help but be stupid, there is still such a character in the world, so handsome and chic.
"By the way, we'll find the third and sixth in the evening to discuss this." The old man in red thought for a while and continued to order. "Master, I made an appointment with the sixth master to go to the opera house tonight for three nights. I left not so long ago, this is the promise of our ancestors. At the back of the page, he quickly interjected, muttering vigorously in his heart, Master, you are looking for the third master and the sixth master, there is nothing to look for in a small door, not being pulled by the second master.
"Hmph~!" The old man in red didn't say anything, just snorted coldly, so frightened that Nuo Nuo didn't dare to speak. "Where are you from?" the old man in red was already unhappy. The thought of the evening made him even more unhappy. He is the head of the family, and it is difficult to stay in the government for a few days in a year. These minions actually began to contradict themselves. The old man in red, who belonged to the Grand Master, groaned about how much pressure he should be under on this page. Even when he was sweating, he couldn't stand still. Hearing the owner's question, he stammered, "From the third lady's room." ”
"Yan Ming, the shopkeeper called Liu Er, brought a slave~!" After saying that, the old man in red left his sleeve and walked straight inside. These two pages quickly get out of the way. Wang Teng turned around and glanced at the page where he was punished. By this time, he had gone mad. The old man in red made a threat, which was terrifying. Therefore, Wang Teng followed him, and some people were very nervous.
"Why, sir, what happened today? This is not the first time I've talked back. Why, how did you turn me into this?" the page muttered with wide eyes, clearly confused by the old man's actions. He was the head of the family and extremely tolerant of his servants. He would never embarrass a servant over trivial matters. Today, he really drove them away. The page named Yan Ming looked at the confused man. Suddenly, his back seemed to straighten a lot. He took two steps forward and glanced back. "That's because your eyes are in the wrong place, and you can't tell who is the master~!" He said. With that, the page was gone, leaving only the man standing in the shadow of the doorway. The waiters standing at the door just looked at each other, but from their faces, they could see a palpable sense of satisfaction.
"Uncle, where are you going to take me?" Father Zhai is really big, and when he entered the backyard, the Loulan ravine, the cornices carved building, the rockery, the cloister, the fine water flowers, insects, and bird grass, just like a wealthy family. "Hehe, don't worry, Yu'er, uncle will take you to meet your family. The old man in red looked back and smiled softly. Wang Teng nodded and didn't ask again. He knew in his heart that the old man must have something important to say to himself, but this was by no means now. The last sentence, seeing his family, made Wang Teng's eyelids tremble and his heart pounded.
Along the way, people salute the old man, pass through two doors and walk down a long corridor to their destination. A pure fragrant dragon style house is nestled among flowers and birds. Behind the house is a bamboo forest. At this time, it was already dark, the cool breeze was blowing, and the bamboo leaves shouted loudly and dimly.
Lights, laughter, and people's heads are all signs of prosperity here. As soon as he entered the door, a heat wave came to his face, a piece of jewelry in front of Wang Teng, Yingying Yanyan screamed, and the well-dressed beauty flashed Wang Teng's eyes and closed his eyes involuntarily. "Hmph, it's you kid~!" With the voice of this angry baby, Wang Teng quickly opened his eyes and saw a group of women, a beautiful woman in expensive clothes, completely dressed as you, looking at himself maliciously.
"Xia'er, don't be rude~!" A beautiful woman sitting next to her screamed angrily and turned her head to apologize. "Father, I have no discipline. I still hope that my father doesn't have the same insight as Xia'er. The old man in red looked at the girl, his face was cold, and when he saw the arrogant second lady's neck shrinking, he sat down dissatisfied, but he crossed his head and didn't look at Wang Teng.
"Is that the boss?" said an old woman's voice from the innermost part of the room. The old man in red looked around the room of ladies, ladies and brothers, and shouted, "Mom, it's me." "Oh, come in then, that girl is still young, don't argue with her. "Go ahead, it's raining. The old man in red called Wang Teng back. Wang Teng followed the old man through the crowd and walked to the Inner Warm Pavilion. There is a beaded curtain hanging in front of the warm pavilion. An old woman is lying on a couch inside. Due to visual impairment, Wang Teng could not see the old man clearly.
It is a restaurant with colorful decorations. The center of the room is the same as the normal living room. It's nothing more than two rows of plush chairs with famous paintings. There is a square table underneath with two square chairs on either side. This is the main seat of the most authoritative person in the house. To the left of the room are two rows of small rooms. The door is open and the inside is beautifully decorated. On the right side of the room, is the main place of this room, there are three large round tables neatly placed on the spacious floor, the round table is the kind of noble mahogany round table, which can be eaten by ten people, two round tables side by side, one at the intersection of the first two, just forming an acute triangle, the triangle points to the warm pavilion, symbolizing the highest dignity of the warm pavilion people, and the bunch of ladies and relatives, at this time, either gathered in the wing room on the left, or they all crowded around the table near the warm pavilion, accompanied by the ancestors of the warm pavilion and Wang Teng, it was interspersed from this group of people, and it really made him learn the feeling of concentration。
The old man walked up to the bead curtain, and the bead curtain rolled up automatically. Two beautiful maids, one holding a jade incense, reminded of the hook on the curtains. When the hook is gently fastened, the curtain opens naturally. Wang Teng saw the true face of his ancestors. It didn't matter, but it startled Wang Teng.
Although the old lady is very old, she is in good spirits, his face is much healthier than that of ordinary old people, and his facial features are upright, Wang Teng was shocked when he looked at it. Although the old man's appearance changed due to age, his eyebrows, eyes, and Wang Teng were all too familiar. "Mother, didn't you disturb your old man when you were driven here?" When the old man in red came to the old woman, he looked at her like a child. His Majesty was weakened. "Well, you rarely come back once. The uncles and brothers gradually drifted apart. The maid and wife in this room are in this deep mansion compound all year round. Although they greeted me every day, it was the first time I was here like today. Good, good," said the old lady happily. They all say that the greatest blessing for an elderly person is to have a complete family of children and grandchildren. As soon as he saw the big family of this family, Wang Teng couldn't help but smash it.
"Well, a few years ago, I was worried that they would bother my mother. Today, let's get together. After this season, it's time to be busy. I'm afraid we'll only be able to get together at the end of the year. "The old man in red is back. "Hey. Who is this young man? How long has it been, why is it so similar......" The old lady's eyes are not very good, she looked at Wang Teng behind him for a long time, and after a closer look, the old lady felt dazzled, how could this young man look so similar...
"Mother, I'm very happy today. This young man is the grandson of my elder brother Gaitian, the only son of the Dragon Clan, Wang Teng~!" When the old man in red came back, Wang Teng saw him winking at his old mother. "Ah~!" the old woman's hands trembled with excitement, and now she wanted to cheer herself up from the warm couch. The old man in red quickly helped the old man to his feet. The room suddenly fell silent. Wang Teng only felt that he was "brushing" his back with another look. This time it's much stronger than when he came in.
