Xufu is in Bailang Town, where the river is located, and here are the mansions of some decent families, and most of them are former ministers who do not want to go out. Looking from the outside of the high wall, the pavilion inside is simple, the same white walls and tiles, it is the style of the northern compound, but it is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, and the eaves corner is changed to a high cornice, so as not to let the rain chatter and drip in the corridor. This is a little different from the magnificence of a merchant like the Bian family, Zhu Yan was quite interested, and Zhou Yi did not want to urge her to enter the Xu Mansion.

On the other side of the smooth bluestone road is a river embankment with large boulders, which are planted with weeping willows, fluttering in the summer breeze.

"Xia Ying Wuling peach is faint, and the smoke is barren and the willows of the Sui embankment are ......" Zhu Yan was out of his mind, sighing with a wry smile.

"Miss Zhu is really a generation of talented women, and the poems she recited are impressive, but I don't know where 'Wuling' and 'Sui Di' come from?" Zhou Yi was very curious, he had read a lot of books, but he couldn't understand the story of this girl's family.

Zhu Yan came back to his senses, remembering that because he had read the "History of Letters" given by Yuan Xuanqing, and now he saw the weeping willows of this river, he was a little nostalgic, and he unconsciously told the Peach Blossom Source and the canon of Emperor Yang of Sui, and his eyes couldn't help but pass a trace of anxiety.

But then she smiled and reached out to brush the hair of her sideburns, "Zhu Yan likes to read some stories of Zhiwei, and these two stories are from there. ”

"The red glow still reflects the peach blossoms on the bank of the Wuling River, but no one can reach the fairyland of the world, and the barren smoke shrouds the embankment of Xiao Suo, how can I see the scenery of Emperor Yang's southern tour again......

Zhou Yi slowly raised his eyes, "The girl seems to have a lot of emotion about the rise and fall of the dynasty?" ”

"I was once given a history book of the previous dynasty for decades by a son, and I was slightly touched, and I taught Young Master Zhou to smile." Zhu Yan smiled in return, turned around and hugged Xu Suzhen, "Mother, we are relatives, but not distinguished guests, let's go in through the side door first." ”

The subordinates of the Xu Mansion are familiar with Xu Suzhen, and when they saw them walking into the side door, they first lowered their heads and called, "Miss Suzhen and Miss Nephew are here, since my aunt died, Miss never goes home, our lord and Mrs. really miss it." ”

Zhu Yan looked at the man, and saw that he was dressed quite well, although his expression was not respectful, but he did not deliberately make things difficult, presumably Xu Suzhen's popularity in the Xu family was not bad, right? However, the "our lord and lady" he said must be the second son of his cheap grandfather...... At least looking at the appearance of the eldest aunt Yang, I don't really miss it.

After the man finished greeting, he raised his head and looked at Xu Suzhen and Zhu Yan carefully.

After a long time, he sighed softly, "I think Miss was also handsome back then, and I don't want the world to make people old...... But the appearance of the nephew is very good, although she is older now, if the lord comes forward to tell your fortune again, you don't have to worry about not having a good family. ”

Zhu Yan smiled again, bowed his chin and saluted, and a pair of silver butterflies flew on his head, which was very good-looking, "Thank you for your concern, Zhu Yan is grateful." Thinking that the so-called number of lives was also controlled by the power and wealth of the family, Zhu Yan wanted to find a place to have a good laugh, which was really a farce.

But now that she is wearing strict makeup, Xu Suzhen seems to hope that she can be in the limelight today...... Although she didn't say it directly, Zhu Yan obviously saw it from her earnest gaze. Thinking that she is still unfamiliar with life, she has to listen to Xu Suzhen's arrangement, but she has also made up her mind in her heart to marry someone she doesn't like, which must not work.

"It's inconvenient to talk outside, so Miss Silk Zhen and Miss Nephew should go in first. Miss Silk Zhen knows the path, and several ladies are in Rongxuan Hall. ”

Zhu Yan was about to go in, but when he turned his head, he saw a delicate car parked outside the gate of Xu's house, "Mother, isn't this the Bian family's car?" ”

"Bian's?" Xu Silk Zhen glanced up and chuckled, "The Bian family is a rich businessman with a lot of money, how can they use such a car?" This is the style that the dignitaries in the capital like, and most of them are the cars brought by the Yuan Gongzi. ”

In the prosperous place of Beijing, there are many people and few roads, in order to facilitate driving, many families like to sit in this exquisite car, and now it has not been seen for many years, Xu Silk Zhen can not help but feel a little kind when she sees it.

"That's ......" Zhu Yan replied casually, lowered his head and thought about it, didn't he say that the Yuan family was a traitorous minister? And the general of this Xu Mansion ...... Listening to what Zhou Yi just said, it seems to mean that if this general had not died young, the previous dynasty would not have perished so quickly...... In this case, the Yuan family and the Xu family should be incompatible, how could Yuan Xuanqing come to the banquet?

"It's really a stupid swallow of my mother, even if I am not convinced, I can't show these disrespectful things on my face. Now that someone in the Yuan family is here, isn't inviting him to the banquet just a gesture of goodwill, so that the current emperor feels that the old ministers have no intentions? Xu Suzhen saw her bow her head and think hard, and explained in a low voice.

Zhu Yan nodded suddenly, and then smiled bitterly, "Mother, it seems that Yanzi has ...... about these schemes Well, the eight characters don't match. She thought about it for a while, and finally thought of this rather flattering statement, and couldn't help but smile again.

"My nephew's daughter is really good, and now they are all joking about this fate."

Looking up, I saw that under the steps of the Rongxuan Hall, there was a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes, a dark blue satin gold rust robe hanging to the ground, six identical golden hairpins on her head, and a white clams on her neck, which lined this woman's temperament extremely elegantly.

"This is your second uncle, Lin Shi." Xu Silk reminded softly in her ear, pushed Zhu Yan, and asked her to let her salute.

Zhu Yan saw that she was not as glamorous as her eldest aunt, and she had a good impression in her heart, so she obediently stepped forward and was about to bow down.

"Girl, you can't afford that." Lin didn't move, just made a look, and the maids standing on both sides hurriedly stepped forward, hugging Zhu Yan one by one, and comforting in unison, "The girl and the lady are close relatives, so there is no need to be polite." ”

"The eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and the girl seems to be very different from when she was young, raise her head and let her aunt see." Lin's voice softened a little, a little more cordial than the majestic one just now.

Zhu Yan raised his head obediently, and looked at the pair of apricot eyes of the Lin family, his beautiful face was like a full moon, it seemed that the days after the death of the previous dynasty were not bumpy.

“…… It's like. Lin sighed, suddenly frowned, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

The maid on the side was busy rubbing her gently, "Madame's headache again?" ”

Lin smiled softly at the girl on the side, "I think of some past events and old people, so it's a little uncomfortable." ”
