Chapter 194: Settle in

Yahuan, who was holding a towel and a basin in her hand, rushed in, handed a handkerchief and came to wipe Yan Chai and Fu Minghua's hands.

On the Eight Treasure Pavilion decorated not far away, there are a lot of objects, and many ornaments seem to be played with from time to time, antique.

It's not like the Changle Marquis Mansion is dressed up extremely luxuriously, and he can't let people know that the mansion is rich, but the Xie family is low-key and looks plain.

There is a plaque hanging on the high hall in the middle of the head, with the words "the sea is inclusive".

Look at the handwriting, the line of the pen is chic and elegant, the gesture is euphemistic and subtle, such as flowing water, it is the handwriting of the Wang family in the Han Dynasty.

In the Han Dynasty, Wang Zhongkun supported the army to help Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty build the capital Jiangzuo and establish the Han Dynasty, and was named the king with a different surname.

The power of the Wang clan reached its peak after the Han Dynasty, and the Wang family was in charge of half of the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty at that time.

The internal affairs were controlled by the children of the Xie family, and there was a saying at that time that 'the king and Xie, and the world'.

It's a pity that with the decline of the Han Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, the Central Plains was divided, the dynastic regime was chaotic, the dynasties overlapped frequently, wars and disputes, and many nobles disappeared in this hundreds of years.

The Yuwen clan was the final royal family of the Jin Dynasty, but they died under the butcher's knife of the Yang clan, the power of their relatives, Chen Taizu.

It was not until after the Chen Dynasty that the situation of more than 300 years of chaos and strife ended, until now the Tang Dynasty replaced Chen.

During the Jin Dynasty, due to the successive wars and the chaotic political situation, many of the things left by the predecessors had long since disappeared, not to mention the precious and abnormal inheritance items such as books, calligraphy and paintings.

The Wang family was very famous back then, and Xie Anshi was called 'Wang Xie', the Wang family was good at calligraphy and Go, especially calligraphy, which has been passed down to the present, eight or nine times out of ten have been almost destroyed, precious and abnormal, and the ten cities are not changed.

Even in Emperor Jia'an's private library, there are not necessarily a few 'Wang Xie' handwritings, but the Xie family was able to preserve such a plaque so completely, which made Fu Minghua look at it several times.

The children of the Xie family are all in the house, because of the inheritance, the Xie family style adheres to the atmosphere of the Han and Jin dynasties, marrying wives and not taking concubines, raising prostitutes at home to entertain guests and entertain themselves at the same time, and the rest of the scenes are not real, even if they have children, they will never claim it.

It is precisely because of the strict family style that the Xie family has been inherited to this day and attaches great importance to the bloodline.

But even if you don't take concubines, there are a lot of heirs of the Xie family, not to mention earlier, even now Xie Yingrong, the patriarch of the Xie family, has two brothers, and the descendants of the Xie family are not a small number after they are scattered.

At this time, a group of people entered the hall, and there were many people who were now much more sparse and did not qualify to enter the hall were still waiting outside the door.

There were a lot of people, but they didn't seem to be messy, but they were all very polite, and they didn't show curiosity.

Among the people who greeted Yan Chase, there were no young juniors, but people from several houses in Xie Mansion came.

Fu Minghua took a look, except for the other three people with the surname because Mrs. Zhao Guotai's birthday came early, and they were full of seats, in the inheritance of the Xie family's lineage, except for the people in the second and third rooms, the three aunts in her maternal ancestor branch were all there, but only her mother Xie was missing.

She quietly pinched the handkerchief and pressed the corners of her mouth, with a little indifference in her eyes.

"Your Highness has come from afar, and it is really the old woman's face that shines." Mrs. Zhao Guotai smiled, she was old, and Yan allowed her to sit down.

But I don't dare to sit down, it's just a little bit of a chair.

Yan Chai smiled and said, "Mrs. Tai is serious." Before leaving, my mother earnestly told me to always wish Mrs. Tai her birthday on her behalf. ”

Although he was smiling and talking, his expression was reserved and cold and indifferent, which was quite similar to the expressions of the brothers in Xie Lizhen, Xie family.

If he is too earnest, even if the Xie family is respectful on the surface, I am afraid that they will not be able to look down on him in their hearts.

But at this moment, once he showed such an unenthusiastic look, it made everyone who entered the hall look uplifted.

Mrs. Zhao Guotai lowered her head, took the shirt tied around her waist and wiped her eyes, and her expression was a little moved: "Lao Niangniang is thinking about the old woman." After she finished speaking, she turned her head and bowed in the direction of Luoyang.

Everyone helped her get up, and everyone in the house greeted her again, and after a while, Mrs. Zhao Guo said: "It's not early, Your Highness has been tired all the way." The house has prepared a thin wine to wash the dust for you and Yuan Niang. ”

Yan Chai nodded naturally.

Before parting, he glanced at Fu Minghua before leaving with Xie Yingrong and the others.

When the rest of the ladies were concerned, Mrs. Zhao Guotai also glanced at Fu Minghua, and then smiled and said softly: "Good boy, are you tired all the way?" ”

When she spoke, she was different from the deference she had when she faced Yan Chase before, with cordiality and kindness:

"Listening to the wind Xuan, there are already food and drinks, you come with me."

She didn't mention the Xie family at all, and only introduced the Cui family, the Zhu family, and the Yin family to Fu Minghua.

Several families have prepared gifts, Fu Minghua and Yan Chai have already set a family affair, although they are not married, but the four surnames obviously do not want to offend this girl who is very likely to be a mother in the future, so the gifts are precious.

Cui Jiali is the most important, and it may be the reason for Cui Guifei. Mrs. Cui gave a pair of jade rings that can be woven into a skirt pendant and hung on the waist, the ring is white all over, and it is worth a lot at a glance.

In addition, a pair of arm rings were also given, which were also priceless.

Several people sat down in batches, and Mrs. Zhao Guotai said a few words to Fu Minghua from time to time during the banquet.

Although she is old, she is in excellent spirit, she has lived for most of her life, and she was the wife of the inner house in power of the Xie family, and Mrs. Zhao Guotai has a delicate personality. Once she has a heart, there will be laughter and laughter at the banquet, and there will be no coldness.

After the meal, and laughed for a long time, Mrs. Zhu proposed to play the leaf card, and after playing for a long time, Mrs. Zhao Guotai's face showed a tired look, and Mrs. Cui proposed to retire.

Mrs. Zhao Guotai didn't stay, and waited until everyone left, then she glanced at the next person, looked at Fu Minghua and smiled gently:

"I've been traveling these days, but I'm tired?"

She laughed with Fu Minghua, stood up and asked her subordinates to lead Fu Minghua back to her yard.

"The resting place in the house has been prepared, you go and see, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, just tell your grandmother, you know, we are all family, you don't have to be so polite."

Her words were meaningful, Fu Minghua nodded, and responded.

A lantern had been prepared outside, beckoning her to come over.

Jiangzhou's Xie Mansion occupies a wide area, and the courtyards are all connected by curved cloisters.

I don't know if it's because the geographical location of Jiangzhou is different from Luoyang, and the nights here are especially cold.

In the evening, I looked at the good old house, and it looked a little gloomy at this time.

The birds and beasts carved on the wooden pillars looked hideous in the night. Fu Minghua shuddered, and Mama Jiang pulled the cloak she was wrapped around tighter.
