Chapter 47: The Family
The horses' hooves kicked and sighed softly out of the curtains, and then they were trampled on the neat street and disappeared without a trace.
Sheng'an Street, a prosperous scene. Two tall horses moved slowly in front, and the carriage behind moved even more slowly. If it weren't for the street scene sliding past the scene in front of him, You Wu seemed to feel that the carriage had stopped.
Lowering the car curtain, You Wu reflexively grabbed Zhang's and asked with a smile, "Auntie, what are you sighing for?" Could it be that when she saw the young girl in the inner courtyard, she thought that she was also looking for a daughter-in-law for Mingli Mingde? ”
"You!" Zhang knocked on You Wu's forehead, and stroked it to arrange her messy hair, "Wu'er, you and the Zhang family, I'm afraid you won't have a chance." Zhang sighed, feeling a little sorry in his heart.
"How so?" You Wu asked rhetorically, not at all agreeing with Zhang's point of view.
Zhang's eyelids lifted, and some hope appeared in his eyes, looking forward to You Wu's next step. The answer she could get made her laugh and cry.
Seeing her aunt's speechless expression, You Wu pretended to be angry, sat up and said solemnly: "It's the Zhang family that has nothing to do with me, this is their loss, and I have nothing to do." ”
"Okay, it's the loss of the Zhang family, it's okay for you, it's okay." After consoling, Zhang only felt funny, and laughed out loud.
Hearing Zhang's laughter, You Wu raised his eyebrows and smiled, no longer serious.
Immediately before the car, You Haili and You Bowen turned around together, seeing the movement in the carriage, the two looked at each other and smiled, and their mood was also a lot more cheerful, changing the depression and boredom when they were in Zhang's house before.
With the force under his feet, the horse's belly is clamped, the horse's pace accelerates, and the scenery outside the car window flows quickly like a slide, which is not real.
In the outer courtyard of Zhang's house, the excitement disappeared, leaving only a few people scattered in a messy dining table, witnessing the deserted mess after the bustle.
Through the weeping flower door, go inside, the thirty tables of banquets in the inner courtyard have long been removed, cold and deserted, more than a dozen pots of winter cold plums are placed in the inner courtyard, cold and lonely. Loud and low laughter came from the surrounding rooms from time to time, making the courtyard even colder.
In the living room, bright and warm, surrounded by people, at a glance, there is no man, basically all girls' families, young and beautiful, only a few ladies sitting on the top, graceful and luxurious.
On top of the first place, the old lady of the Zhang family had a ruddy face and a happy face, she looked at the girls who were whispering around her, nodded and smiled from time to time, and had a good conversation with Mrs. Zhang on the side.
"Old lady, the eldest young master is here." The servants spoke out of the door, and the living room suddenly fell silent, and they all looked out the door.
The door of the living room was opened, a cool breeze blew in, Zhang Jintu stepped into the door, stepped forward, and congratulated: "Grandson Jintu, I wish grandma a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan." ”
Old Lady Zhang laughed, her eyes were full of joy, and she said straightly: "Come here, come here." ”
"Grandma, Jintu still has a few friends, and they also want to celebrate grandma's birthday."
"Oh? Then invite them into the house. ”
The words fell, and outside the door, Wen Nan, who was dressed in green clothes, walked into the house slowly, and You Cheng followed behind. The women were in a trance for a while, the man in front of him was obviously dressed in green clothes, but he looked extremely noble, as if it was out of reach, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even more alienated, obviously close at hand, but he couldn't touch it.
Old Madam Zhang was also in a trance, and she didn't react until Wen Nan walked in front of her, "Jintu, who is this?" "Although Yancheng is big, she has seen the sons of rich and noble families, and the one in front of her has an extraordinary temperament, if she has seen it, it is impossible to forget. In this way, he shouldn't be from Yancheng.
"Grandma, this is Wen Nan, You Cheng's classmate in Jingcheng." After Zhang Jintu finished speaking, the old lady noticed You Cheng behind Wen Nan. I haven't seen him for a few years, and You Cheng is no longer the hairy boy he was back then, and he is a lot more decent.
"Mrs. Zhang's longevity." Wen Nan bowed his hand to celebrate his birthday, and his slightly smiling voice overflowed from his mouth, which was extremely good.
"Good, good! Jintu, please sit down. It stands to reason that Wen Nan's demeanor overpowered Zhang Jintu, and Mrs. Zhang shouldn't have been so happy, but Wen Nan's aura was too strong, which made her unconsciously think of the Zhang family's unmarried daughter. If so, they would be able to marry such a man......
Old Madam Zhang's eyes became more and more kind when she looked at Wen Nan, and the questions she asked became more and more bizarre, and the young ladies of the Zhang family on the side blushed with shame, and their eyes became more and more straightforward when they looked at Wen Nan. But Wen Nan didn't leave, he talked naturally, although he replied to all kinds of questions, but in the end, he didn't seem to say anything.
The incense beside the hall gradually burned out, and the winter weather lit up slowly, but it darkened quickly. In the living room, the ladies of each family have reluctantly returned, leaving only the Zhang family and Wen Nan. After the greetings, Wen Nan got up to say goodbye.
"This, Young Master Wen, the weather is so cold, why don't you stay in the house for a while, and wait for tomorrow, when the weather improves, it's not too late to leave." Seeing the old lady's expression, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, and the surrounding ladies of the Zhang family were also looking forward to it.
Wen Nan heard this, there was a trace of embarrassment on his face, he hesitated for a moment, and postponed: "It's not a secret, there are other people waiting in the residence, Wen Nan has to go back." Wen Nan smiled apologetically at the Zhang family and said no more.
Hearing this, I'm afraid that even a fool will understand, but I'm afraid that this Wen Gongzi already has a family. Mrs. Zhang was very sorry, and she didn't invite any more, and after a few words of greeting, she called Zhang Jintu to see them off.
After leaving the gate of Zhang's house, after the two said goodbye to Zhang Jintu, You Cheng immediately got on the horse, while Wen Nan looked at the carriages around him. Seeing this, You Cheng stepped forward and said, "Master, You Wu is now in You's house, I will send someone to inform her, and we will be able to meet at the official road entrance later." ”
Wen Nan pondered for a moment and said, "Let Ling Yu protect her." ”
When You Cheng heard this, his eyes flashed, as if he had grabbed something, but Wen Nan swept over with a look, he quickly covered his expression and said, "Yes." ”
The carriage set off and drove back, while Ling Yu rushed in the direction of You Zhai. On the other side, when Ling Yu arrived at You Wu's house, he was told that You Wu had already set off.
Ling Yu didn't stay long, and immediately caught up, but he had some resentment towards You Wu in his heart. But he didn't know that You Wu also received the news when he set off.
Half an hour ago, a gray-clothed guy came to the door and informed You Cheng that he had left, and You Wu did not doubt him, so he immediately set off to go back.
When she went to the official road, she found that the gray-clothed little girl was gone, and she was vigilant, but because she was guarding by her side, she was also a lot more relieved.
At this moment, a gray carriage drove past the gate of You Mansion and stopped not far away. And in the alley on the side, a person suddenly flashed out, and that person was the gray-clothed guy who had entered You's house before. He quickly got into the carriage and sat beside the coachman, and the carriage set off and soon disappeared in front of You's house.
"How?" In the dark carriage, a man asked.
"She's already gone, and the others are already there, just waiting to be caged."
"That's good."
An eerie laugh rang out in the car, startling the birds that were perched on the roof. On this day, it will be ......
