Chapter 54: The New Land
The third big house on the left in Yuqian Lane was finally full of people a few days ago. Before, except for the old man who guarded the door and the servant who sprinkled the sweep, I didn't see anyone in the lord's house coming in or out. I didn't expect that if I didn't come, I wouldn't come, and if I came, I would be a big family.
This is the annex of the Somasa's family in Uogawa Prefecture, and when the family was first separated, Somasa had plans to die in his hometown, so he exchanged the real estate in Kyori for this mansion. But in recent years, Ding has been worried about filial piety, and Zong Zhengjin rarely lives in the house. In normal times, only the two brothers of Zongzheng Lun and Zongzheng would come in to rest when they passed by Yuchuan Mansion.
This big mansion has three roads and three courtyards, the first of which is not only the house for the male servants to live, but also built the old lady's outer study and several courtyards for the young masters to live in after the age of seven. Therefore, the eldest son of the eldest son of the third room, the eldest young master Zong Zhengyu, and the second young master Zong Zhengdong, the second son of the second room, lived in Houde Courtyard and Hongyi Temple.
There are three sandwich roads when you enter the second gate, the storage academy on the left is assigned to Zong Zhenglun and his wife, and the right road Liumo Yuan lives in Zong Zhengfa and his wife, and the middle of the sandwich road leads directly to the Helu Tongchun Hall where Zong Zhengjin and the old lady Ren live.
The area of the third courtyard is not small, and a small garden can be built - pond rockery, small bridge pavilion, all available. Zongzheng is good at serving flowers and trees, so he also built a small flower house and planted a lot of exotic flowers and plants. Three delicate and elegant pavilions were built around the small garden, and the six girls of the Zongzheng family lived in them according to the three rooms.
Zong Zhengke, the third girl of the big house, occupies the Qingyi Building with the best location and the largest area alone. The eldest girl in the second room, Zong Zhengyu, the second girl, Zong Zhengci, and the sixth girl, Zong Zhengyue, they live in Yulan Xuan, there are also more than a dozen rooms of different sizes, which is a little more spacious than the Yingbo Pavilion where the fourth girl Zong Zhengyou and the fifth girl Zong Zhengxi live in the third room.
However, in Yulan Xuan, the three girls in the second room can each live in one room, and their many girls and mothers-in-law have to be crowded together. On the contrary, on the other side of the third room, there is one less girl to live with, and there are many fewer people waiting. Although there are few rooms in the Reflection Pavilion, it is more comfortable to live in.
After all, the residence of the girls of the Zongzheng family is not just a place to live. There must be a study room, and there must be a special studio. There is also a storage of the girls' belongings, each of which has to be kept in a room. It's getting hot again, and the girls have to bathe every day, and there must be a special bath room, right?
Moreover, before Zong Zhengjin came, he said that although the family living in Uogawa Mansion was only temporary, they would not return to the old mansion of Uogawa Mansion, but would prepare to go to Beijing or go to other county capitals. In fact, they moved directly from Uoiwa Mountain to the Uogawa Mansion mansion.
Because the old house was soaked in the flood water entering the city for a long time, many of them were rotten, and they had to be repaired on a large scale. Therefore, the guys in each room, except for those large items that are really difficult to move, should try to move the rest of the things to the courtyard of this Yuchuan Mansion.
In particular, all the things in the storeroom must be sent to the other courtyard. Therefore, each girl's residence should also set aside a room to prepare for their own treasures in the old house.
In this way, it is necessary for Zong Zhengke to get a three-story Qingyi Building to live in. Because the private property that belongs to her that is about to be transported into the other courtyard is a lot. It included not only the dowry of her own grandmother, Mrs. Ling, but also the private property of her father Zong Zhengxiu and the dowry of her mother, Mrs. Xiao Da.
No matter how unwilling the three girls in the second room are, it's useless, who made Zong Zhengke so rich among their sisters? Zong Zhengyue secretly listened to the old lady and Cui Mama estimate that Zong Zhengke had a net worth of 50,000 taels from the first two generations of elders.
But because Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Heping had done a bad thing, on the issue of Zong Zhengke's placement, they could only remain silent in the face of Zong Zhengjin's arbitrariness. Mrs. Ping also deliberately called Zong Zhengyue to her side to mention her face, and told Zong Zhengyu to look at her sister, and no one in front of her or her was allowed to have half a sour word about her sister-no matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to hold back!
Don't hold back, the words and deeds of the elders during this time are in the eyes of several girls. They are all smart people, so they understand very well that the three girls in the big house are very special at home.
Although the family has no father or mother, her grandfather dotes on her wholeheartedly, and he also orders no one in the family to disrespect her. Not to mention anything else, just the monthly money, Zong Zhengke's is twice as much as the rest of the girls.
And behind the people is still leaning on the mountain of the Venerable Buddha Kingdom, and there are Buddhist scriptures hand-copied by the Supreme Venerable in their hands. No, just two days after I stayed here, a few heavy gilded invitations were sent to the Zongzheng family's courtyard.
The posts of several girls from famous families in Yuchuan Mansion are not bad, but due to etiquette, several other Zongzheng girls also got it. However, the birthday banquet invitation from the mansion of the eldest princess of Qinghe, except for Zong Zhengjin and Mrs. Ren, only Zong Zhengke has it.
In addition, the eldest princess of Qinghe sent two groups of people to deliver the invitation in person. The invitation to Zong Zhengjin was personally delivered by Pei Yunjian, the eldest son of the eldest princess of Qinghe, and the prince of Yiguo. In order to invite the old lady and Zong Zhengke, the eldest princess of Qinghe specially sent Lou Gongren, who served by her side, to show her attention and kindness.
Lou Gongren is not an ordinary person, she was the palace maid beside the eldest princess of Qinghe when she was young, and now she is still leading the female official from the Wupin court. But the reason why she can be called Gongren is all because her son is now the prefect of Qinghe Mansion in Yuchuan County, and he specially asked the court for her to be awarded the title of Sipin Gongren.
Therefore, the old lady Ren, who has no grade or rank, has to salute Lou Gongren according to etiquette. Of course, Lou Gongren will not put this score. But her attitude was obviously and resolute, she wanted to meet the three girls of Zongzheng who Venerable Su Hui had introduced as a close friend.
Old Lady Ren could only send Mama Cui, who was the most useful person around her, to Qingyi Tower to invite Zong Zhengke, whom she had never seen once in these days. Because of this granddaughter, Mrs. Ren is still being snubbed by Zong Zhengjin. The old man rested in Aunt Chun's room during this time, and she was really unhappy in her heart, so she always found an excuse to not see anyone in Zongzheng Ke's morning and dusk.
What is uncomfortable, what is the pillow, so I refused twice. The next day, Zong Zhenglun hurried to persuade him, and the old lady Ren reluctantly planned to meet this granddaughter. Who would have thought that the next day, the aunt Xu Shi, who was in charge of Qingyi Building, came to report in person, saying that Zong Zhengke had blown the wind and caught a cold in the past two days, so I am afraid that she will have to die in the next few days.
What else can Mrs. Ren say? She could only pretend to be concerned and appease a few words, and exempted Zong Zhengke's greeting. But after Xu left, she only complained twice, and was heard by Zong Zhengjin, who returned to the room, so she was scolded again. This time, Mrs. Ren was really sick - she was by the old man's eccentric eyes.
On the day that Lou Gongren came to deliver the post, Mrs. Ren's illness was just right, but her face was still yellow, and she was not energetic. If it weren't for the fear of losing this good opportunity to cling to the nobles, Old Lady Ren really didn't want her dignity to be seen by Lou Gongren.
Lou Gongren is also old, and she is also an old grandmother at home. She is older than the eldest princess of Qinghe, and she is already sixty years old this year. She was born with a slightly square face, her white hair combed into a straight bun, and she wore a set of three emerald hair ornaments, and a plain forehead set with emerald gemstones. She wore a purple placket embroidered with Fushou patterns and a brown plain skirt. As soon as she sat down in her chair, her waist straightened, and a majesty from a court lady arose.
Although the old lady Ren sat on the main seat, looking at her cautious eyes and full of smiles and flattery, Lou Gong was like such a master. Lou Gongren's expression was gentle and amiable, and he did not underestimate Mrs. Ren because she was tasteless and classless. But she was quite worried in her heart, not to mention that with such a step-grandmother, how many rules could the three girls who had been raised in the nunnery since they were children learn?
Lou Gongren came here, obviously to send invitations, but in fact, he also shouldered another more important mission - to help the eldest princess of Qinghe see the candidate for her granddaughter-in-law.
Pei Junshao, the grandson of the eldest princess of Qinghe and the second son of Pei Yunjian, the prince of Yiguo, has reached the age of marriage. The princess's mansion has seen a lot of ladies openly and secretly, and the famous families in Yuchuan County and nearby county governments are all clear about this matter.
This Fourth Young Master Pei is the second male in the room of Pei Yunjian, the Duke of Yiguo, and ranks fourth among his peers. When he was born, his mother, Mrs. Zhou, had a difficult birth and hemorrhage, and needed to recuperate, so he was carried to the eldest princess of Qinghe and Pei Juma to raise him, and he did not move out of the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard until he was seven years old, so he had the deepest relationship with his grandparents and grandparents.
The eldest princess of Qinghe has the blood of the Murong royal family on her body, and this family is used to producing beauties. And the origin of the Pei family should not be underestimated, and if you talk about one hundred and eighty generations, it is said that it can be related to the Ying royal family of the Great Qin Empire today.
And Pei Si Pei Junshao simply concentrates the best genes of two generations of royal families. He couldn't go out openly at all, otherwise the big girl and the little daughter-in-law on the street threw him purses, handkerchiefs, sachets, fan pendants and other things on him, and buried him alive.
There was a person named Bai Xiaosheng who did good things, and he compiled a list of beauties in the world. Xiao Fengheng, the regent of the Jokhang Empire, Prince Yong, is recognized as the most beautiful man in the world, while Pei Junshao is ranked third on this list although he was born in a small country of Tianxingpuer.
As for civil and military talent, although Pei Si has been weak since he was a child, he always has a cold and cough for a few days a month. But his head, in Lou Gongren's quipping words, is afraid that everyone in the Pei family is not as good as him - including the eldest princess of Qinghe, who is the old lady, and Pei Yuma, the old lady of the Pei family.
The most rare thing is that with such a character and such talent, Pei Si was born in the top family of Tianxing Country, and was raised by his grandparents who loved him like a treasure, and he was not as pampered as his little uncle Pei Yuncheng.
