41 Chen Family
After enduring and enduring, Lou Shi said a little depressedly: "Anyway, if you want to go out with me today, wear this, otherwise, it's okay for me to go by myself." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
If it weren't for her background, Lou Shi would have thought that she was a different person.
Ruan Yuan couldn't go away. Don't say that Lou Shishang rushed to find her and asked her to follow Chen's house. If she knew that Lou Shi would go to Chen's house to pick up Chen Ying in person, Ruan Yuan would also have to think about going. Probably Lou Shi saw what Ruan Yuan meant, so he said so. Ruan Yuan was so angry that she couldn't do it, but she couldn't say no.
She was still thinking about how to spoil Lou Shi's plan to take Chen Yu into the Hou Mansion, how could she not go? Ruan Yuan had to snatch the clothes from Lou Shi's hand, gritted her teeth and said, "Let the prince let the concubine change her clothes." ”
Lou Shi smiled at Ruan Yuan, went to Ruan Yuan's dresser again, and opened her jewelry box. Most of the gold jewelry in it was the original dowry, but in fact, he deliberately let people beat it. It's just to embarrass the Ruan family. Who would have thought that none of the Ruan family was left, and Ruan Yuan was brought into the Hou Mansion, and Ruan Yuan really dared to run around with this end of gold?
Now, Lou Shi can't wait to dissolve all her gold jewelry.
rummaging through the inside, Lou Shi found that there were still freshly beaten gold jewelry inside. He was surprised. The conditions of the Ruan family, Lou Shi was clear in his heart, he didn't expect that the Ruan family did not leave a trace of the Lou family's dowry, and even added makeup to Ruan Yuan. Although he despised gold, it was for money. For the Ruan family, these pure gold jewelry may be all the family backgrounds of the Ruan family.
After rummaging for a while, Lou Shi finally took out a green jade step and shook the hairpin, which was put in the dowry by his mother, Mrs. Jane. A pair of melon seed size, ruby stud earrings. It was given by his eldest sister Lou Min. He also took out a pair of translucent blue and white jade bracelets, which his second sister Lou Jie put in the dowry. One by one, he put them on the dresser and said, "Green willow, I will put a woman's bun for your young lady in a while, and I will wear this, and I am not allowed to bring any other jewelry." ”
How dare Green Willow say no? Naturally, he received the hand and answered: "Yes." ”
Lou Shi went outside, and Xiaoyu followed out, and Lu Zhu pursed his lips angrily. Ruan Yuan turned to the back of the clothes screen, and Lu Liu and Lu Zhu followed over to help Ruan Yuan change her clothes. Sitting in front of the dresser, Lu Liu really just helped Ruan Yuan gently pull a woman's bun and insert it into the step. A pair of small red dots on the ears are very colorful. A pair of light green bamboo jade bracelets, with delicate texture and well-proportioned color, were worn on Ruan Yuan's wrist, making her wrist slender and delicate.
Dressed up like this, I have a bit of the temperament of everyone's ladies.
It's a pity that standing in front of the big dressing mirror, Ruan Yuan looked left and right, and was not satisfied at all. I think that whether it is clothes or accessories, in short, none of them are what she likes. Ruan Yuan was very depressed, it was difficult for her to go out once, and she was not as good as the status of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and she had already slipped to the Chen family, so she couldn't show her nobility.
She also planned to let Chen Yu see her at a glance, so she was envious of her, thinking that she had a advantage to take advantage of, so she rushed to come over. Now that she is dressed up, she is simply not happy at all, but like an angry person.
Lu Zhu also sighed: "It's not good-looking, it's all like the old one." ”
Lu Liu said: "Young lady, don't listen to Lu Zhu's nonsense, the young lady looks the best like this." ”
Ruan Yuan agreed with Lu Zhu's words, so she couldn't listen to Lu Liu's praise at all, and went out to the outside room in a huff. Lou Shi, who was sitting at the round table outside, was looking impatient, and the light rain disappeared. When she saw Ruan Yuan coming out, she was stunned.
"What do you see? Don't know each other? It's also your choice if it's not good-looking. Lose face for a while, but don't blame me. Ruan Yuan said in a vicious voice. In her previous life, in order to please him, she didn't wear her favorite clothes for a day. How many days have you been comfortable? He's running here to take care of her. I'm really angry with her.
Thinking so, Ruan Yuan glared at Lou Shi fiercely again.
Lou Shi looked at Ruan Yuan, and the corners of his mouth trembled. to maintain his suave image. Fist coughed on his lips and said, "Let's go." No one will laugh at you. ”
Ruan Yuan is tall and thin, and this waist-tied Hulan pure color skirt sets off her good figure and makes her look clean. Although her complexion is dark, she seems to be very healthy, especially her expressive eyes, which echo with the little red studs, which are particularly energetic.
Lou Shi walked forward, Ruan Yuan took the green beads and green willows, followed him, and saw that he went straight to the stable in the backyard, Ruan Yuan asked, "Don't you want to talk to Madame?" ”
"No, when I came out, I had already reported to my wife. Where is Madame Hou Ye, if you go, it will be another toss, disturbing Hou Ye from resting. Lou Shi put his hands behind his back and said as he walked.
He was dressed in royal blue today, with a copper buckle belt tied around his waist, and the moon bud green jade pressed by the placket was tasseled down. A pair of blue satin foundation boots on his feet. The stone of the building is tall, and the footsteps are windy when he walks on weekdays, and he is extremely fast. Although Ruan Yuan was not a beautiful lady who did not go out of the gate and did not step out of the second door before, she always had to trot to barely keep up with Lou Shi in her previous life.
However, Lou Shi walked extremely slowly today, so that Ruan Yuan had to slow down her pace before she could barely miss Lou Shi by half a step. She didn't want to walk side by side with Lou Shi now.
The carriage was still the same one when Ruan Yuan went out last time, and it was still the same woman who drove the carriage, but the other fat woman was left useless by Lou Shi. Follow Lou Shi out, how to use two car drivers?
Lou Shi rode a horse, followed by a small maid Daoyi, Wei Chu. Under the blue sky and white sun, no matter how close the husband and wife are, they cannot get out of the same carriage in the same carriage. If this is discovered by the imperial history, it will be impeached and will be offended.
The Chen family originally lived in the northeast prime minister's mansion in the capital, and later after Chen Xiangzhi, the family moved to the Chen family's mansion in the northwest of the capital. The capital is high in the east and low in the west, high in the south and low in the north. Rich aristocrats like to live in the south because they are close to the Son of Heaven and are next to the Son of Heaven, what a great honor? And Zilai prefers to live in the east, not only because the east is big, but also because of the high terrain.
Therefore, the east and west cities of the capital, and the east market is the most valuable. The West Market is mostly some civilian items. In addition, most of the people who come from afar enter from the West Gate, and there are many people living around the West Market, which is extremely chaotic, which is also the reason why the family does not like to live.
Therefore, residential land in the northwest is cheaper than in the northeast.
Although the Chen family's homestead has not become smaller, it has changed the place, and it can be regarded as a downward move. Lou Shi and Ruan Yuan arrived at the door of Chen's house, and a bunch of mothers-in-law and small servants greeted them. According to etiquette, Lou Shi and Ruan Yuan went to greet Mrs. Chen first.
Ruan Yuan had also come to the Chen family in her previous life, but she didn't come with Lou Shi, but when she was friendly with Chen Yu, she was led by Chen Yu and accompanied Zhao Ning to support her to the Chen family.
Chen Zheng's two brothers, Chen Lu and Chen Xun, although they are human beings, they can be regarded as without merit in the officialdom, and they are slowly promoted according to their seniority. It can be said that the Chen family has been eating the old book for nearly 20 years. It's a pity that Mrs. Chen is used to being the prime minister's wife, and until now, she still holds the old lady's face and refuses to let go. didn't know that the Chen family had already eaten grain.
The five-entry house, the Qulang Courtyard, is extremely ingenious, and it is not worse than the Beihou Mansion in the town. And the maids and maids are all carefully selected beauties. Where can I work? It's just that I have to buy a group of people to wait, and they are all regarded as the companions of the Chen family's girls and children.
Lou Shi and Ruan Yuan were led to greet Mrs. Chen. Although the Rongsong Courtyard where Mrs. Chen lives is not the main compound, it is also the best courtyard in the east of the Chen Mansion, which is wide, and there is also a small garden inside, with mountains and rocks and strange pines, and the winding path verandah is also complete. When they came in, they didn't need to be announced, but they were led directly to the main room. Old Madam Chen was slightly chubby, and her face was white and kind.
A room full of people, squeezed and pressed. Ruan Yuan knew most of them. But now that she is a bride, she has to bow her head and follow behind Lou Shi to greet Mrs. Chen. According to etiquette, although Mrs. Chen is old, according to her identity, she can't stand the etiquette of Lou Shi and Ruan Yuan. But Mrs. Chen didn't realize it, and she was still holding her former Mrs. Yipin's score.
I never felt that his husband had already passed away, and she didn't have a court decree, and her husband died from her son, and she was no longer the prime minister's wife.
Old Mrs. Chen smiled and accepted Lou Shi's salute, but Ruan Yuan only bent down slightly, and did not do it all. When Mrs. Chen saw this, she was a little unhappy, and the smile on her face faded.
According to the past, Lou Shi still had to salute Chen Zheng's two sisters-in-law before he could give a salute to his sister-in-law.
Chen Lu and Chen Xun's wives are very discerning, how dare they really let Lou Shi see the full ceremony? Busy to the side, smiled and asked Lou Shi and Ruan Yuan about Lou Shu's illness: "I heard that Hou Ye has been slightly ill recently, can you see that it is okay?" Our master was saying that he was going to visit him, and he was afraid that he would disturb the Hou Ye's recuperation, so he was struggling, but the son of Qiao Shizi and the young lady came. Just inquire about it, so that we can rest assured. ”
Lou Shi replied respectfully: "The uncle and the second master have a heart, and my father is just an old problem, but it's not a big deal." If you don't visit the sick or not, if you have time, you can go to the house for a while, which is also the affection of relatives. My father and mother will be happy. ”
At this time, there was no need for Ruan Yuan to speak, so she scanned everyone one by one with her eyes. I saw Chen Yu wearing a concubine red crepe jacket and a wide-waisted purple flower-sprinkled pomegranate skirt. A lily bun was rolled, and a concubine-colored small palace flower was lightly inserted on the left side of the hair. Chen Yu was born beautiful and could dress up, even Ruan Yuan, and they all felt that as long as Chen Yu was there, the other girls of the Chen family would simply have no color.
Sure enough, it's a shining place, not to mention men, even women can't take their eyes off.
Chen Yu was also secretly looking at Ruan Yuan, and the eyes of the two met at once. Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, and was about to look away, but Ruan Yuan smiled kindly at Chen Yu.
Originally, the moment Chen Yu saw Lou Shi come to pick up Chen Ying in person, he thought that his chance to go to Zhenbei Hou Mansion this time was gone. Therefore, she tried her best to please Mrs. Chen, and kept beating her legs and handing tea to Mrs. Chen. also whispered some intimate words from time to time, which made Ruan Yuan refuse to salute her, and her somewhat depressed heart gradually became happy.
Looking at Chen Ying next to Mrs. Xiao Jian, in Ruan Yuan's heart, there is no difference between her and Chen Yu. After Lou Shi and Chen Zheng's two sisters-in-law finished greetings, they gave Mrs. Xiao Jian a salute. Mrs. Xiao Jian is also indifferent to Ruan Yuan, probably like everyone else, she thinks that Ruan Yuan is not worthy of Lou Shi. Ruan Yuan doesn't care.
When it was the turn of the younger generation of the Chen family to meet, Lou Shi and Ruan Yuan sat down and waited for the ceremony. No matter how old or young Lou Shi is, no matter how approachable he is, the Chen family will not be able to turn to the point of Lou Shi's corporal.
Chen Ying and a group of Chen family brothers and sisters saluted Lou Shi and Ruan Yuan Yingying, but their demeanor was the most outstanding. It can be called a degree of advance and retreat, and there is a good manner. However, the three brothers of the Chen family have many children, but only Chen Yu is in front of Mrs. Chen, doing her best. And after Chen Ying did her granddaughter's face, she hid in the crowd and never came out again.
