Chapter 125: Entering the Cui Mansion (1)
After Lu Qinghuan ate the detoxification pill, the red spots on his face gradually began to fade, but in three days, the poison of spring twilight was completely resolved.
And King An Le didn't seem to be in a hurry, until Pei Yuan and a few people were in a good way, and then they pulled out the camp and headed towards Chang'an, which was not far away, and along the way, it seemed to be playing in the mountains and rivers, and he couldn't see his ruthless appearance in the cave at all.
For the sake of Lu Qinghuan's safety, Pei Yuan and his party fell at the end of the team and tried to avoid contact with King Anle.
By the time I arrived in Chang'an, it was already the beginning of July.
Pei Yuan was not in a hurry to return to the palace to report on his work, but first sent Lu Qinghuan to Cui's family, and repeatedly asked Cui Jun to leave with confidence.
As for Helan Xuanyi, as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he immediately separated from them, no matter how he kept them, he didn't want to go with them, and in the end Pei Yuan and Lu Qinghuan had to let him, but agreed to go to Pei Yuan's mansion as guests three days later.
Lu Qinghuan entered Cui's family, just like Grandma Liu who entered the Grand View Garden in the Dream of Red Mansions, and it was very strange to see it.
Previously in Jiangnan, although the Lu Mansion was quite rich, but the entire Lu Mansion was not as big as a courtyard of the Cui family, although I had seen it on TV in my previous life, but this was the first time I had seen such a luxurious and magnificent mansion.
Lu Qinghuan didn't bring a maidservant, at this time, he was led by a few Chinese-dressed maids from Cui's mansion, and Cui Jun opened the way in front of him, and walked towards Cui's inner house unimpeded.
Cui Jun is only nineteen years old, and he just took the exam last year, and it was the time when he was a teenager to get his ambition, so he had a sense of contempt for people and things. Although he had several relationships with Lu Qinghuan, it was only when he was a child. Over the years, the two have occasionally written letters to play, but they are mostly some willful requests made by Lu Qinghuan.
So in Cui Jun's heart, this cousin Lu. It's a troublesome character.
Watching Lu Qinghuan stop and stop all the way, looking around, as if he had never seen the world, Cui Jun couldn't help but look down on her, if it weren't for Pei Yuan's repeated advice, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this cousin.
"Let's go! I still have something to do! ”
Just when Lu Qinghuan stopped again, Cui Jun finally couldn't help but speak.
Lu Qinghuan sensed his impatience. secretly scolded in his heart: Didn't Cui Jun say that he was the most protective of his shortcomings, why was he so impatient with himself?
She had only been seriously injured earlier, although she had been recuperating for three days. But after a few days of travel, he was very tired at this time, and where could he compare with the steps of a young man.
"Cousin Cui, I'm tired. I want to take a break. If you have anything else to do, go first! Lu Qinghuan didn't want to go with him, so he opened his mouth to drive him.
Cui Jun raised his eyebrows, glanced at Lu Qinghuan, who had no expression, and couldn't help but smile, this little girl is quite temperamental!
He turned his head to the maidservant beside him and ordered, "Didn't you hear my cousin say that she was tired, why don't you hurry up and take a step over?" ”
Cui Jun spoke. Immediately, two maidservants hurriedly retreated and walked towards the winding verandah.
Not much. They turned back again, followed by two servants, hurrying over in a carved and embroidered couch.
stopped at Lu Qinghuan's feet, and the maidservant next to her stepped forward to help her.
From beginning to end, no one spoke, which shows that his family rules are strict.
With the step, Lu Qinghuan was also a lot more relieved, looking condescendingly at Cui Jun who was not far in front of him, seeing that his figure was thin, although his steps were fast, but he seemed to have uneven breath, obviously he didn't like to exercise on weekdays.
Soon the group arrived at a semicircular moon arch, Cui Jun stopped, and said to Lu Qinghuan on the chariot with a smile: "The inner house has arrived, cousin should go to see your grandmother first, she has been talking about you a lot over the years." ”
"Yes!" Lu Qinghuan stepped down, blessed Cui Jun, and walked towards the inner house with the two maids beside him.
It was the afternoon, and it was really inappropriate to say that it was a guest to see it, but Lu Qinghuan had just arrived, and someone should always need to take care of him before he could live with peace of mind. That's why Cui Jun took her to meet Mrs. Cui, who was the heaviest in the Cui Mansion.
The two maids are slender and slender, but their appearance is very ordinary, unsmiling, and dull.
Lu Qinghuan didn't speak along the way, just walked silently, if it weren't for Lu Qinghuan's accidental slipping just now, the two of them said "Watch girl, be careful", Lu Qinghuan almost thought that the two were dumb.
Although it is an inner house, the house is very large, and the little guy who walks is not allowed to enter the inner house, that is to say, at this time, Lu Qinghuan has to walk by himself again.
Fortunately, the two maids seemed to know that she was not physically supportive, so they walked very slowly.
By the time we reached the courtyard where the old lady lived, it was already about half an hour later.
"Cousin, wait a minute, the maid will go first to see if the old lady has gotten up from a nap!"
Lu Qinghuan nodded, she had seen the Dream of Red Mansions and knew that the old ladies in the mansion all had this hobby, that is, they liked to sleep before meeting people.
Sure enough, after a while, the maid came back and said that the old lady hadn't gotten up yet, so she asked Lu Qinghuan to wait a little longer.
Lu Qinghuan bowed his head, stood in the courtyard, looked up at the hot sun overhead, and felt like a mirror in his heart - this old lady was only afraid that she was being disadvantaged!
The two maidservants who accompanied her did not leave, but still accompanied her, standing together in the sun.
Although the sun was about to set, the scorching temperature still made the three of them sweat wet their clothes in a blink of an eye.
In Mrs. Cui's room, an old woman wearing a brocade cardigan with pipa sleeves was shaking a feather fan for an old woman with her eyes closed on the soft collapse, and wisps of fresh breeze fanned out from the tip of her fan. The old woman yawned comfortably, and then slowly opened her eyes: "She's outside, waiting?" ”
Obviously, this old woman is Mrs. Cui.
Mother Wang, who was shaking the fan for Mrs. Cui, nodded, and replied softly, "I've been waiting for a while!" ”
"Hmm......" Old Madam Cui replied leisurely, a gleam flashed in her drooping eyelids, "She came in with Jun'er?" ”
"Yes! However, I heard that it was Lang Jun of the Pei family who sent it from Jiangnan! ”
"Oh, it's really her mother's temperament!" Mrs. Cui said lightly, and then, with the support of Mother Wang, she stood up from the soft collapse, and she waited for her to drink a dessert to cool off, but she didn't mention Lu Qinghuan's words at all.
After a long while, she waved her hand to Wang's mother: "Go, let her go back first, it's not too late to see you in two days!" ”
"Yes, old lady!"
Mother Wang got the instructions of Mrs. Cui, so she slowly withdrew from the door, walked into the courtyard, and apologized to Lu Qinghuan, who had already blushed from the sun: "The old lady is very happy to hear that her cousin has come to be a guest, but she is not very good lately, and she can't see her cousin!" The old lady also asked the old slave to tell her cousin that she could live in Cui's Mansion with peace of mind, and if she lacked anything, she just had to send someone to say a word!
