Chapter 013: Family
The window of the carriage was always open, and Shu Jinhua looked at the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom from the beginning of entering the city.
The main road is wide, and even five large carriages are more than enough in parallel. And it can be seen that the security management of Tai'an City is very good, the streets are clean and tidy, and there are no small vendors selling on the streets, but rows of shops.
But what surprised Shu Jinhua the most was that there was still a "sidewalk" in this Tai'an City! Both sides of the street are spaced by low fences, with a pavement nearly nine feet wide. People on foot walked on both sides without worrying about being hit by the vehicle in the middle.
Shu Jinhua nodded secretly, even if the ox cart and donkey cart were slow, it could not completely guarantee safety. And the protection of the sidewalk will not let her see the bloody plot of love at first sight under the wheel of the car or under the hooves of the horse.
After walking through the main street, turn into an alley with a stone monument of "Beihai Lane". Although the name is lane, the road is spacious, and the high walls on both sides are numerous, as if they are all big families in Zhumen.
Along the way, Shu Jin's paintings are staggering, this alley is inhabited by officials of all sizes, and the plaques that show their status are dazzling.
The carriage stopped deep in the alley.
Before he got out of the car, Shu Jinhua had already heard the creak of the vermilion gate opening.
Stepping on the round pier and getting out of the car, Shu Jinhua looked up and looked ahead. The majestic stone lions on both sides and the simple and powerful three big characters of the bachelor's mansion directly above the gate all show the prominent status of the master's family.
When Shu Jinhua was still looking, two figures rushed out of the main entrance, quickly stepped down the danqi, and ran towards Shu Jinhua.
"Scarlet, it's really you! You're back! The woman in the azure skirt grabbed Shu Jinhua's arm and said in a trembling voice.
Shu Jinhua was also excited in her heart, although she had no memory of the original body, but her body had an inexplicable reaction. And looking at the face in front of her who looked seven points similar to her, how could she not know who she was?
"Sister, it's me, I'm back!" Shu Jinhua smiled, wrapped her hands around the woman's arms, tilted her head and gently rested on the woman's shoulders.
"You girl, you only see your sister, don't you see your brother?" The man who came out with Shu Jinqi quipped, although he complained, but he did not mean to blame, but seemed intimate.
Shu Jinhua hurriedly let go of a hand, pulled the man's sleeve and said, "My brother wants to blame me, and I'm also happy." I haven't seen you for so long, and I miss my brother's tightness. ”
Shu Jinqi and Shu Yu'an are the older siblings of Shu Jinhua's mother, and the two are twins, two years older than Shu Jinhua. The three have had a good relationship since childhood, and when Shu Jinhua just went to Bailiushan, Shu Jinqi didn't know how many times he cried secretly. And the only brother also loves her very much, and it is not the first time she has seen Shu Yu'an. Last winter, Shu Yu'an actually followed the imperial court disaster relief team to the northeast, and when he passed by Bailiu Mountain, he specially visited Elder Xuankong and finally met her by chance.
Shu Jinhua was moved to almost cry at the time, as the sister-in-law of the palace scholar, Shu Yu'an entered the court at the age of fifteen, although there is Shu Yue's dot, but I have to say that Shu Yu'an himself is good enough, young, and now he is also the secretary of the country, the eighteen-year-old six-grade official, even among the nobles of the family, are rare.
The disaster relief team originally didn't need Shu Yu'an, and all the children of the nobles, when they encountered this kind of errand, they couldn't hide, so Shu Yu'an recommended himself. Just to be able to take a look at the little sister who is away from home.
Looking at Shu Yu'an, who was half a head taller than himself, Shu Jinhua's heart was full of happiness. And I also met my sister, and the three brothers and sisters stood at the gate and cared for each other for nearly a stick of incense.
"Don't talk about it, go home, Dad is still waiting, I'm in a hurry, I forgot about Daddy." Shu Jinqi patted his head and said in annoyance.
The three brothers and sisters entered the gate with a smile and a smile, and before they could bypass the shadow wall, a soft female voice sounded behind them, "Yo, isn't this the fourth sister?" Coming back today? ”
Shu Jinqi paused, and Shu Jinqi beside him also frowned slightly. Turning around, two figures, a man and a woman, came into view.
The woman was dressed in a light purple curly dress, but because her body was not high, the gorgeous curved skirt looked a little clumsy, combing the woman's hairpin, a set of golden heads, and the fat powder on her face was a little thick, but it did not cover the haggard under her eyes.
The man next to the woman, dressed in a dark purple dress, stepped on auspicious cloud boots, although his body was a little thinner, but his face was like a crown of jade, and he was not much worse than his beautiful brother.
Looking at the two, Shu Jinhua had already guessed that the woman in front of her was her eldest sister Shu Jinqin. Next to him should be the eldest brother-in-law. However, she doesn't know when Shu Jinqin became a parent.
"Big sister." Shu Jinhua only said hello.
Although the Great Xia Dynasty has improved the status of women, the distinction between concubines and concubines is still relatively obvious, especially the status of concubines, which is even more embarrassing. If she can go to her career with her own ability, then she will naturally be able to decide her own future, but with her Shu Jinqin, she can only hope to marry a good man.
"Big sister, big brother-in-law." Shu Jinqi also said hello, but saluted the man who was called the eldest brother-in-law.
Shu Yu'an also called the eldest sister, but to Shu Jinhua's surprise, the man opposite actually made an official salute to Shu Yu'an first.
Shu Yu'an noticed Shu Jinhua's gaze and winked at her vaguely. The naughty appearance made Shu Jinhua want to laugh, thinking to herself, this is the expression that an eighteen-year-old boy should have. The usual Shu Yu'an also looks old.
"Scarlet, this is the eldest brother-in-law, Xue Canhua and Xue Gongzi." Shu Yuan introduced. Shu Jinqin and Xue Canhua were relatives at the beginning of this year, and when he went to visit Scarlet last year, Shu Jinqin had not yet decided on her marriage.
Shu Jinhua blinked, Xue Canhua? Why do you feel familiar? But he still saluted and called the eldest brother-in-law.
Xue Canhua raised her hand to support her, the corners of her mouth smiled, her eyes were fixed on Shu Jinhua, and she said kindly, "Sister Scarlet doesn't have to be polite." ”
The hairs on the back of Shu Jin's painting stand on end, Scarlet is her milk name, and those who call her so are family members, and she doesn't feel anything like it. But when Xue Canhua called him, he suddenly felt uncomfortable. Moreover, Shu Jinqi and Shu Yu'an around him were all breathless, and the atmosphere was a little dignified.
Shu Jinqin on the other side also had a sinking face, and just now she looked like everyone was kind and soft, but now she immediately pulled it down.
"What the husband said is that they are all family. What's more, the fourth sister and her husband also know each other, so there is no need to be so polite. Shu Jinqin took a deep breath and said almost through gritted teeth.
Cognitive? Shu Jinhua was puzzled, could it be that she knew this Xue Canhua before? But whether she knows it or not, she really can't stand this eldest brother-in-law, who is still a stranger to her, calls her so.
"Then the eldest brother-in-law will call me the fourth sister like the eldest sister in the future." Shu Jinhua lowered his eyes and said. She wasn't even happy to look at Xue Canhua.
