Chapter 13 Entering Chang'an for the first time
After a few days, the carriage finally stepped into the city gate and arrived at the imperial capital, the prosperous Chang'an City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Under your feet is Chang'an.
Jing Ci in the carriage pushed open the window and looked left and right. What catches your eye is a vast, straight avenue, and in the vast future, an avenue leads in no known direction. On the side of the avenue are rows of low-rise houses, and looking into the distance along the avenue, there are more and more pavilions and pavilions in front of you, and there is a faint sound of bustling sound in the square.
Looking at the Chang'an City in front of you, it is majestic and prosperous. At the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are talents from all walks of life, and all the major wealthy families stand here.
Jing Ci left Chang'an for ten years, and there was her unimpressed biological father and mother, as well as her prosperous family.
It took ten years to return home, but it was not for it.
Xue Chongjian led the carriage and horses in front, and nearly halfway through the Vermilion Bird Avenue, the number of people and horses gradually increased, and he rode his horse to the side and waited to be level with the carriage.
Jing Ci lay on the window and opened his eyes wide, looking very handsome, and the corners of Xue Chongjian's mouth rose: "Jing Ci, it's inconvenient for me to send more, so I'll leave here." "It's safe to go to Chang'an, and it's inconvenient for his identity to be entangled with the Yang Mansion.
Jing Ci came back to his senses and smiled, "Xue Erlang, see you in the future." Along the way, she and Xue Chongjian have formed a friendship.
Xue Chongjian is a humble gentleman, and Jing Ci is also hearty, and the two can naturally get along.
The carriage traveled for another moment and slowly approached Yang's Mansion.
Jing Ci pushed open the window that had just been closed in Fang Nian, and looked through the gap, there was a plaque with the words "Yang Mansion" hanging on the majestic mansion, the main entrance of Yang Mansion was directly opened on the wall, and there were two rows of halberds in front of the door. Jing Ci secretly thought that it was worthy of the general's mansion.
The carriage went around the main entrance and went to the side door, and she peeked through the gap that there were about a dozen maids waiting at the door. The head of the girl combed her hair and combed her hair, dressed differently from the rest of the people, with a good face and a solemn expression. All the maids behind him combed their hair in double buns and dressed uniformly.
Jing Ci couldn't help muttering in his heart, it was magnificent.
The carriage came to a stop.
"Fourth lady, please get off."
The door is opened.
The maid at the head stepped forward at some point and made a gesture of support.
Jing Ci put his arms around and got out of the car neatly with his legs, and Fang Nian followed.
"Waiting for the fourth lady to return home." The maids saluted and said in unison.
This grand scene, she saw for the first time, "You don't have to be polite. ”
The maid who had just supported Jing Ci lowered her head and said, "Four ladies, the slave maid is called Qingnu, and she is the maid of the eldest lady." You are tired of traveling, and the slave maid takes you to your yard to rest. ”
Jing Ci nodded, "Thank you." ”
The Yang family is a nobleman of the two dynasties, a famous family for generations, and the last four generations of Yang Shao are the brothers of Emperor Wen of Sui. In this dynasty, Jing Ci's grandfather and Wu Zetian's mother were brothers and sisters of the same mother, which increased the arrogance of the Yang family. The scope of the Yang Mansion has expanded little by little, and now it occupies most of the area in the square, and the huge Yang Mansion actually contains more than 20 courtyards, which is like the prototype of a palace.
Yang's Mansion is superior in bricks and tiles, a corner and a corridor, magnificent and atmospheric. Pavilions, pavilions, mountains, bridges and water corridors, all available. Six or seven maidservants, combed in double buns, held trays in both hands and moved gently on the opposite corridor. When he saw the older mother-in-law, he bowed slightly, and then continued to move forward in a regular manner.
After a few tosses, she finally arrived where she was going......
Courtyard.
Jing Ci looked up at the two large upright characters above.
The name of this temple is "Tsuin Temple".
This name is good, it is bamboo, and it is one of the four gentlemen. The courtyard, the sound is "as she wishes", I hope everything is as she wishes.
"This courtyard has been empty, and when Steward Wang left for Tanzhou, the eldest lady instructed the slaves and maids to start cleaning and arranging." Qingnu said.
"How is my sister doing?" Since she is my sister's maid, how can I not talk about showing concern.
"The eldest lady is all right," the young girl paused, and said: "Fourth lady, forgive the slave and the maid for talking too much, the eldest lady is your eldest sister, and you have to pay attention to the title in the future, so as to save other ladies from being unhappy." "The young girl is also the same age as Jing Zi, but she is extremely safe in doing things.
"Okay, I'll make a note of it."
The courtyard is not too big, but it has all kinds of organs.
The courtyard is well arranged, with grass and trees, and scenery everywhere.
"Big lady to--"
Before I had time to take a closer look, there was a sound outside the door.
Immediately, the woman who was nearly forty a year was surrounded by the maids, her hair combed peacock open bun, full of beaded hairpins, a golden step shook gently with the pace, a cumbersome bright red flower on her forehead, a noble snow face standing with a faint smile, but the deep eyes revealed seriousness.
This is Yang Shouyan, the eldest daughter of the Yang Mansion.
"Jing Ci has seen the eldest sister." Jing Ci blessed body salute.
Yang Shouyan stared at Jing Ci with a pair of phoenix eyes and looked at it carefully, before he stepped forward to help him with a smile, "In a blink of an eye, Siniang is so old, and she was just a five-year-old little doll when she left home." ”
"It's not easy to come back to see you safely."
"I've heard of it all," Yang Shouyan held her affectionately, and stared at the small face that had not yet grown, "It is really a great sorrow for Cousin Wang to be killed, and the Yang family will not let go of the murderer. ”
"Eldest sister, do you know, who is the murderer of Daddy? Who is chasing me down the road? Jing Zi looked at the person in front of him, the Yang family must know the answer.
"It's probably the same group of people who want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots."
"Who could that be?"
Yang Shouyan stared and shook his head helplessly, "I can't find out for a while, don't worry, the Wang family's revenge, the Yang family will definitely revenge." ”
Jing Zi was silent.
"When Cousin Wang died, you hadn't yet performed the courtesy, and it was natural for you to come back to the Yang family. From today, you will return to Yang's house, surnamed Yang, do you know? He is a rightful person of the Yang family. Yang Shouyan held her hand and did not let go, "The Yang family has no son, and the burden of the family falls on the shoulders of our sisters, and we and the Yang family are both prosperous and lossy." ”
"Jing Ci knows."
Yang Shouyan nodded with satisfaction, let go of his hand, and looked a little serious, "The Wang family is not as good as the Yang family, the Yang family has a lot of rules, and the Yang family naturally can't be as free as the Wang family, the Yang family is orderly and has clear rewards and punishments, you have to think twice about doing things in the future." ”
"Remember."
"The young girl is the maid by my side, this girl is as careful as a hair and does things neatly, and now she will give it to you."
"Thank you, eldest sister."
It is said that the eldest sister is like a mother, and when kindness and strictness go hand in hand, this eldest sister is very intimate with her smile, but there is no lack of seriousness and alienation between her eyebrows, which makes it difficult for people to get close.
"You will take care of the four ladies in the courtyard, and you must not be lazy and save trouble." Yang Shouyan said to the maids who came in with Jing Ci from the side door.
"The slave obeys."
Yang Shouyan didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Jing Ci secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he walked towards the house. She didn't like this eldest sister very much, although her face was smiling and seemed to be friendly, but it was extremely deep.
"The bath room is ready, please ask the fourth lady to bathe and change clothes." After a while, the maid came in and said goodbye.
"Okay."
Almost every courtyard in Yang's Mansion has a special bathing room, with good drainage facilities, and the decoration is appropriate, keeping warm and hidden.
The courtyard is no exception, the entrance to this bathing room is a few cases, there are two secret color porcelain bottles on the top, the color is like ice, and you can know that it is the top grade at a glance. These cases are close to a wall, do not look carefully and think that this is a small house, in fact, enter, turn right, you can see a long screen with a pomegranate pattern, behind the screen is a screen, and then enter the inside to see a thick ancient wooden hanger, bath barrels, bath beds, candlesticks are all available, all exquisite.
The water vapor is thick, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing. She had a wrist injury and couldn't soak in water, but Jing Ci didn't let Fang Nian serve her to bathe, bathing was such a private matter for her, how could she let people intervene at will.
This can be said to be in the Hou Gate, and seeing the slight knowledge, the Yang family's food and clothing must be not bad. I also thought that I would start investigating everything when I arrived in Chang'an, but as soon as I entered the door, I was warned by Yang Shouyan, and it is estimated that the future will not be free and happy.
