Through the gate, Shang Xuesleeve could see the straight and wide road inside, and at the end was the main hall with carved beams and paintings, with red pillars and patterns painted and carved on doors and windows glowing with sparkling golden light. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

She followed the deacon into the county guard's house, and the polished flat and smooth ground was reflected in cyan because of the rain. From a distance, the main hall is also reflected on this ground.

Because the sky was dark, someone lit the white marble lamps on both sides in time, and the orange and yellow lights were also reflected on the ground, making the county guard mansion in the smoke and rain with a hazy atmosphere of wealth.

Shang Xuesleeve silently remembered the road he had walked and the houses on both sides, bypassed the hall that looked like the main hall on several floors in the middle, and entered an aisle to the right, and saw a person standing quietly in the rain with an umbrella in the aisle.

When the man saw them, he first walked a few steps towards them quickly, and then slowed down, and the deacon beside Shang Xuesleeve bowed down and said, "My lord." ”

Shang Xuesleeve looked at the person in front of her in a little surprise - the distance was too far before, she didn't expect that the county guard would personally stand in the middle of the road to greet her.

This county keeper is not wearing an official uniform, and his hair is combed in a mess, probably because he is named after a pearl, and there is also a pearl embedded in the hairband, which is extremely eye-catching, but what is even more eye-catching is the appearance of this adult.

Shang Xuesleeve often hears people say that beauty is like jade, if a person is like jade, it must be beautiful, but when I saw the person in front of me today, I felt that the title of "pearl" is so suitable to describe beauty.

His skin is fair, and he reveals a warm feeling in the drizzle and oblique wind, and his face is not as tough and handsome as the angular, but it looks round and soft, as if a girl's goose egg face is wrong on his body, with curved eyebrows and starry eyes, bright teeth and red lips, he is an extremely good-looking person, even compared to Xu Zhilai, he does not lose.

Entering the room, Shang Xuesleeve felt a burst of heat steaming up from below, and it was estimated that there were earth dragons in the room, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, because it was rare to warm up like this in the south, after all, it was not very cold compared to the north.

"Master Shang, please take a seat."

Shang Xuesleeve sat down a little stiffly, although it was rude to look around in the county guard mansion at the moment, but she still couldn't help but look around the room.

Because from the mezzanine meeting this adult, she could feel that the eyes of this "Nanjun Pearl" had never left her for almost a moment, even though she could feel that this gaze was not malicious or dangerous, but she still felt very uncomfortable if she kept looking at such a gaze.

This is a rather large room, the place where she and the county keeper are sitting is a small reception room with simple layout, opposite her is a Bogu shelf, on which there are some toys scattered on it, Shang Xuesleeve only hurriedly glanced over, and saw that the side of the Bogu shelf is similar to the study layout, faintly visible long bookcases and the bookshelves behind, behind the county guard is a screen, I don't know what is behind the screen.

As for behind her, the deacon just now stepped down from behind her, and soon someone came over with refreshments and fruits, Shang Xuechong thought secretly, presumably this is the place where the miscellaneous servants of the subordinates stayed for the convenience of serving people.

Speaking of which, such a room is not so rich and luxurious, but every object seems to have a long-standing atmosphere, even the chair handle that Shang Xuesleeve is holding at the moment looks like a simple luster, smooth and warm to the touch, and the back of the chair is bent into the most comfortable arc, sitting on it, the moment the back touches the soft cushion, people feel as if they are relaxed.

Seeing Shang Xue's sleeves stop looking, Kuang Junshou smiled and said, "Have you seen enough of the business master?" ”

Shang Xuesleeve was suddenly embarrassed, but he could hear him speak softly, and he did not mean to be deliberately mocking, and he explained unhappily: "Presumably, the master of the Shang class has heard some old stories when he came to Nanjun, and my ancestors were enshrined here, so the current county guard mansion is actually the former Yuehou Mansion." ”

Shang Xuesleeve suddenly realized, no wonder this county guard mansion is several times more magnificent than the one in Xijun, it looks like a prince's mansion, this is originally a palace!

"The ancestor came from the north, and the humidity on Yunshui's side was too heavy, especially in winter, so he also cultivated the earth dragon to drive away the dampness and cold. The master of the merchant class has also been to Shangjing, and he must be able to see one or two, except for Dilong, the layout inside and outside the county guard mansion is not like the local houses in Nanjun, which is in accordance with the habits of the north. ”

Shang Xuesleeve nodded, but she still didn't understand why the county guard explained this, not only was his tone gentle, but even the eyes that looked at him were very concerned, without the slightest condescending attitude of the superior.

The inside of the house is very warm because the earth dragon is burning. His face flushed red under this heat, which reminded Shang Xuesleeve of a more precious pearl, which was said to be a pink pearl from overseas, and she had once seen one in Xiao Yuan, because it revealed that rare color, which was more exciting than ordinary pearls.

But Shang Xue Sleeve is still confused.

It's not that she hasn't accepted similar invitations, most of them invite her to sing a cappella, and some really like to sing a few paragraphs themselves, so they specially asked her for guidance.

But now it was as if it was just two people sitting here and looking at each other, and the room was hot, and she became more and more uncomfortable, so she asked, "Lord County Guard summoned me here, dare to ask what is the order?" ”

"Master Shang, you don't have to be polite, just call me by my name, Mingzhu."

Shang Xuesleeve couldn't help but feel "gridded" in his heart: "How can anyone act like this?" Not to mention that he is the county guard, who dares to call him by his name, even if he is an ordinary person, but on the other hand, where can he be familiar enough to call his name? ”

She felt strange in her heart, but Kuang Mingzhu had already stood up and said, "Please sit down for a while." Then he walked to the study behind Bogu Shelf.

Although Shang Xuesleeve could see a little bit of the situation in the study, she only sat there with her eyes and nose, and she didn't raise her eyelids, but after a moment, she heard Kuang Mingzhu in front of her say, "Master Shang, please take a look." ”

Shang Xuesleeve saw that he was holding a painting scroll in his hand and handed it to her, so she held the two ends of the wooden scroll, and slowly opened the scroll with Kuang Mingzhu.

She saw first a stone blue ground, a few clusters of inky blue grass, and then twelve Hunan skirts that were too white, with lines outlined with extremely fine brushes.

Further up, the painting reveals a set of pink and gorgeous palace clothes, which are outlined with gold and silver cloud patterns, which are extremely detailed, even the hanging ornaments on the waist and the lines on the jade pendants are very clear, which is obviously a picture of a lady.
