Chapter 10 Entering Suzhou for the first time

After a few people came to Suzhou, Jiang Rong said goodbye to them, and the pigeon, Jiang Rong gave Yingluo a whistle made of willow bark, if there is something, blow a whistle directly, and the pigeon will fly to the place where the whistle sounds, so a few people don't have to bother to care about the pigeon.

I have long heard that the scenery of Suzhou is beautiful, and at this time I am full of praise at a glance, no wonder the ancients said, "There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below." The beauty of Suzhou is mainly reflected in the landscape, the small bridge and flowing water, and the scene of near dusk has a different kind of gentleness. Suzhou people generally speak Wu Nong's soft language, and there is a feeling of shallow singing when he speaks, and it is not difficult to understand the feeling of a man drunk in a gentle township. But since they arrived in Suzhou, they don't have to worry about not seeing enough of these beautiful scenery, this time thanks to Jiang Rong, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to arrive so early, and now it's just past the end of the day, they decided to find an inn to rest, and then go to Hua's house after noon.

This inn is also very beautiful, it is leaning against the lake, and the one selected by Yingluo happens to have a window against the lake. After putting everything in the room, they rested, and then the few of them went to the private room on the second floor to prepare some food. After suing the shopkeeper to get some Suzhou specialties, the shopkeeper went down. Because Yingluo doesn't like to talk much, she and Zichai don't speak, the master doesn't speak, and naturally the two coachmen don't speak, so they are quiet for a while.

It's just that suddenly a man's voice came from the private room next door, and I only heard the man say: "I heard that the four beauties of the second young master Hua were replaced yesterday?" And the other man said, "Yes, I changed the chess girl." Yingluo didn't care, but suddenly heard about the second young master Hua, so she listened carefully.

The person next door continued: "Chess girl? Who's it for? ”

"You really don't know? It's changed to Snow Feather Girl, but I heard that the name has been changed, what is it called, by the way, it's called Le Yan. The other replied.

"Snow Feather Girl? Just the new Oiran who was drunk in the Red Mansion? ”

"yes. Don't say it, the second young master is really not shallow. ”

"That's it, I heard that the snow feather girl has been carefully trained by the drunken red mansion bustard for ten years, and recently she just came forward to win the Oiran in one fell swoop, but this second young master of the flower is really fast, and it was included in his yard yesterday."

"Who said no, these days, as long as you have money, it's easy to do things."

"I'm afraid that it's not so easy to spend the second young master's silver, you see, how stupid the eldest young master is."

"Shhhh

At this time, the shopkeeper also brought the dishes over, and after a few hot dishes, he put a plate of dim sum: "Although these dishes are not the signature dishes of our store, they are all our specialties here. ”

"Childe, this inn is quite kind." After the shopkeeper left, Zichai said to Yingluo.

"Well, it's probably because the people here are hospitable." Yingluo replied, and then said, "Let's eat, I'll go to Hua's house later." ”

Soon after, a few people had eaten, Yingluo sent the coachman to ask the way to the Huajia in the north of the city, and after a while, the coachman came over, "Childe, our place is in the south of the city, and it will take half an hour for the carriage to arrive." ”

"Well, let's get in the car." Yingluo nodded, and the coachman drove the carriage.

Yingluo opened the window on the road and took a look, although it was just after the beginning of November, the weather was still a little cold, but the cold wind blew on her body and felt wet. The sound of pedestrians on the street passed through the ears, although it was noisy, but because Wu Yu was already gentle but did not make people feel bored, in such a new place, Yingluo's eyebrows also stretched slightly.

Soon after, they arrived in the north of the city, and the coachman got out of the car and asked for directions, and drove directly to the gate of Huafu.

Yingluo got out of the car and saw the gate of Huafu appear in front of her. Looking up, there are two dark red gates, and in the middle of the door are two large pull rings, and the word Huafu is written in line directly above the door, which looks vigorous and powerful. On the left and right of the eyes sat a female and a male stone lion, the male lion stepped on a hydrangea, and the female lion snuggled up to a lion cub, the overall look is particularly magnificent.

Yingluo instructed the coachman, "You two are waiting outside." The coachman bowed his head and answered. Yingluo and Zichai arrived at the door of Huafu, Zichai slapped the pull ring, and after a while, someone came over and opened the door, looked at the two of them, and then asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Zichai answered: "Trouble the little brother to report it, just say that the young master of the Chang'an Yu family came to visit Master Hua." ”

The servant answered, closed the door and passed inside.

After a while, the next person opened the door again, welcomed the two in, Yingluo entered the house, just about swept the mansion, from the door into a big garden, although November is about to enter the winter, but there are flowers in this garden, by the way, some are elegant chrysanthemums, and some hibiscus flowers and begonias in all seasons, in short, the fragrance is colorful, and it may be the climate of Suzhou, this flower is indeed how gorgeous. Walking through the garden, you will see the reception hall, which is lined with a path with trees planted on both sides, which looks like a forest path from a distance.

Yingluo entered the hall and saw Hua Tianxiong sitting on the main seat. Hua Tianxiong is about four or five years older than Yuchifeng, but he is still in the prime of life, but he is more energetic than Yuchifeng, plus he is rich and rich, and he is much more ruddy, and next to Hua Tianxiong, sitting is his main wife Hua Shen.

Hua Shen is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, although she is a beauty, but she is already in her twilight. is even more worried about his children's affairs, but he looks a little haggard this way.

Yingluo stepped forward, saluted in the man's way, and then said, "My nephew has seen Uncle Hua, Aunt Hua." ”

"Hurry up. Let me think that you should be fifteen years old by now. Hua Tianxiong said with a smile.

"Yes, uncle." Yingluo nodded, and secretly rejoiced that although Hua Tianxiong had a relationship with his father, he had not talked about his own children, and he asked his father to write to Hua Tianxiong this time to explain that he was his son, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Is your father well? I think we haven't seen each other in years, so I don't know when we can talk about it again. Hua Tianxiong thought about it and said.

"My father is also very concerned about you, and my father said that if he has the opportunity, he will definitely drink with you again, and he will not get drunk or go home." Yingluo nodded politely.

"That's not good, you're all old, but you don't have the momentum you had when you were young, and you young people are different from me who walked into the soil with one foot." Hua Tianxiong said again, and Hua Shen on the side glanced at him, but did not speak.

"Uncle, you're in good health."

"You kid, you can talk. That's it, I'm getting old, and my body doesn't obey anymore, you can sit here for a while, and let my second son accompany you. With that, Hua Tianxiong got up, Yingluo said yes, and Hua Shen on the side helped him in.

Yingluo sat on the chair and waited, and just after closing her eyes and resting, she heard a joking voice: "What kind of kid is this, there is no face to see people?" ”
