001 Xue Rou
87_87886 In the middle of winter, the black and gloomy city in Beijing was pressed for several days, and finally the first heavy snow fell, and the dense snowflakes like goose feathers fell on people, and their clothes were wet in a moment.
"Da-da-da-"
There was a sound of horses' hooves, and the pedestrians looked towards the city gate, and saw several carriages with navy blue brocade curtains driving in, and the horses pulling the carts in front of the carriages seemed to be wrapped in shoes, and the sound of hooves was thick and round when they ran.
This kind of / horse is the best war horse in Beirong, and there is not one hundred gold in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but at this time, several horses suddenly appeared.
The crowd got out of the way, fearing that they would hit the nobles in the car, and the carriage slowed down slowly after entering the city, apparently afraid of hitting pedestrians.
"Girl, when we arrive in Beijing, shall we go directly to the other courtyard, or should we go to the Xue Mansion first?" In the carriage at the front, a woman in red asked softly while cooking tea on a small stove in her hand.
"Of course, go back to the other courtyard, the ghost weather in this imperial capital is cold, how can there be the warmth of our Yunzhou, the girl is delicate, how can there be kung fu to accept the people of Xue Mansion!" Before the "girl" could reply, a woman on the other side was the first to reply.
The person who spoke shrank in the corner of the carport, wrapped in several thick layers of hair, and the furry only showed high eyebrows and wide eyes, and the size and eyebrows looked even more heroic than a man.
The corner of the woman in red showed a shallow dimple at the corner of her mouth, "Qin Yan, I don't know if the girl is afraid of the cold, but what kind of trouble are you going to make like a bear?" You haven't always prided yourself as a martial artist, how come you can't even endure this cold now? ”
Qin Yan pouted, "Who said that people who practice martial arts are not afraid of the cold, I am a person who knows the times and is a handsome, so as not to fall ill and not be able to take care of the girl...... Tweet! ”
Before he finished speaking, Qin Yan sneezed and shrank into Mao Yan tremblingly.
Qin Xi chuckled, but poured a cup of warm tea very steadily in her hand and handed it to the girl in white who was looking outside the carriage through the curtain.
The moon-white one-piece skirt is embroidered with silver thread auspicious cloud silk patterns, and a green silk is casually pulled behind her head, revealing delicate eyebrows and delicate sides, her eyes are cold, as if she is smiling, but if you look closely, it is like a pool of secluded wells, which makes people tremble.
"Girl, what are you looking at?" Qin Xi asked.
"It's nothing, I just feel that this Beijing is far more prosperous than Yunzhou." Xue Rou retracted her gaze and reached out to take the teacup.
Qin Xi poured another cup of tea and handed it to Qin Yan, who was shrunk into a ball, and then smiled softly: "Emperor Zhengde has been on the throne for twenty years, the emperor is on the throne, and he is known for his iron-blooded means. ”
Xue Roumo held the tea cup and didn't speak, just leaned against the window with her eyes a little lazy.
Qin Xi glanced at her girl's bored appearance, and then looked at Qin Yan, who was like a cow drinking tea, and shook her head helplessly: "Girl, you haven't said where we go next?" ”
"Naturally, it's Xue Mansion, we're here to visit relatives, so we have to meet and make everyone happy." Xue Rou curled the corners of her mouth.
Qin Yan and Qin Xi on the side twitched at the same time, and the girl was happy to meet the people of the Xue family, but the people of the Xue Mansion were afraid that they would not come to the door for the rest of their lives, right?
The carriage went directly to Xue's house in Qingyun Lane, and the entourage on the carriage went to the mansion to report.
Qin Xi tied a cloak for Xue Rou, and took a small stove for hand warmers, and then held an umbrella to help Xue Rou down.
Qin Yan was still wrapped in a bear-like appearance, and when she got out of the carriage, she also wore a felt hat, revealing only two eyes from head to toe.
The group waited for a while, and a few people walked out of the corner gate of Xue Mansion.
"Wang De, the third steward of the old slave's foreign house, has seen the girl, the old lady got the news that you have arrived, and specially sent the old slave out to greet her."
The old servant was a little stunned at first when he saw the richly dressed girl, and then hurriedly said, "The girl must have worked hard all the way, so it's better to go into the mansion with the old slave to rest first, Xiaoshun, and lead these little brothers and the carriage to the back house......"
As he spoke, someone came over to lead the horse, but who knew that Qin Yan stopped him with a glare.
Her shoulders were broad and strong, and she was wrapped thickly, and her pestle was higher than those Xue Mansion boys, and her momentum was quite terrifying.
"This little brother?" Wang De thought it was a man by reflex, and couldn't help frowning.
Qin Yan glared, "Which eye did you see that this girl is the little brother?" ”
Wang De was startled by the woman's voice coming out of the hairball in front of him, and realized that he saw the girl as a man and looked embarrassed.
Qin Yan ignored it, and just said in a nasal voice after the wind and cold: "You are in charge, you Lord Xue taught you the way of etiquette like this, my girl is a noble daughter of the Xue family, and no one greeted me and let my girl enter the mansion through the corner door, your Xue Mansion really has rules." ”
Wang De's heart tightened, and he remembered the old lady's instructions and hurriedly smiled: "This girl has misunderstood, the adult is still in the court and has not yet returned to the house, the old lady is already waiting for the girl in the hall, and the girl can naturally see the ...... when she enters."
"Joke, my girl is Aunt Xue's grandmother, and she is Lord Xue's aunt, even if the old lady in your mouth sees it, she will be a generation shorter, and it is rude for the people in the house not to come to greet her in person, and now even the main door is not opened, let my girl enter the house through the corner door, what are your thoughts?!" Qin Yan crossed her waist, drinking and regretting that she should have brought her love knife when she came, so that her waist was not imposing.
Qin Xi smiled and helped Xue Rou, her face was as soft as the morning sun, she was not more direct than Qin Yan, but her tone was gentle but the words pierced her heart.
"Steward Wang, you, Lord Xue, are the servants of the Ministry of Rites, and the etiquette in charge of the court is a model for the people, is it possible that the people in this mansion don't even understand the etiquette that should be used to treat the elders?"
Wang De was dazed by a series of generations, and then heard the reprimanding of the red-clothed maidservant.
The aunt in front of her is a real aunt and grandmother, and her high seniority is terrifying, even in the entire Xue family, the only one who can compare her with her is the Xue family elder who is nearly eighty years old.
At the age of fifteen, he asked a group of people in their thirties and forties to call him grandmother and grandmother, and it was strange that the lord and the old lady could bear it, especially the lord, as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, if he really called his aunt and grandmother to a girl as big as his daughter, then he didn't need to ask for face!
But the partial generation is put there, and it is against etiquette if you don't call or slack off, and you will be caught by someone if you pass it out.
So when I learned just now that this aunt and grandmother actually came to visit Beijing, the old man hid directly in the study, and the old lady and the lady ordered to come down, as long as they don't tell the truth in the open, and secretly slack off this aunt, it is best to let her go back to Yunzhou by herself without even entering the mansion.
He followed the old lady's instructions, opened the corner door and wanted to humiliate the girl, but before she could speak, the two maidservants had already made a fuss.
Wang De hurriedly explained, "The two misunderstood, the girl is a noble person in the clan, and the house will never dare to slack off, but this main gate is in disrepair and cannot be used for the time being, so the girl was wronged and entered the house through the corner gate." ”
"In disrepair? Qin Yan ......"
Qin Xi chuckled, Qin Yan directly crossed his eyes, and arrived in front of the gate in a few steps, and the big palm of the pu fan slapped directly on the red gate.
There were two loud bangs, snow fell on the door frame beams, and even the plaque of Xue Mansion on the top was shaken, but the gate stood still.
"Steward Wang, Qin Yan can smash the gate of the ancestral hall of the Yunzhou clan with one palm, could it be that the doors in this capital are all cast with fine iron, and the gate of the mansion that has fallen into disrepair and cannot be used is still so strong?" Qin Xi asked with a smile, and then turned to Xue Rou, "Girl, it seems that this Lord Xue's mansion is really good, and even the gate of the mansion can be compared to the gate of the inner city." ”
Wang De's face turned blue, and he couldn't wait to rush up and block Qinxi's mouth, the door of a ceremonial waiter's house can be compared to the gate of the inner city, this is the rhythm of rebellion?
He scolded this servant girl in his heart for being evil, but he didn't dare to deliberately embarrass him anymore, "Girl, it's really a misunderstanding, the old slave is afraid that he has remembered the mistake, the house gate was repaired a few days ago, and the old slave will notify the house to open the main gate to welcome the girl......"
"Wait."
Xue Rou, who had never spoken up, suddenly spoke, her voice was as smart as a clear spring, "How can you trouble the king's steward to come and go, the little woman has never liked trouble." ”
Wang De looked at Xue Rou's delicate face that seemed to be a good porcelain, and was moved to a handful of old tears, look, this is the demeanor of a noble girl, this is what a beautiful heart is also beautiful, and what an empathetic little lady......
He stretched out his hand and bowed his body and was about to lead Xue Rou to the corner door, but he saw Xue Rou standing still, his hands in his sleeves, and said lightly to the five big and three thick maids at the door.
"Qin Yan, we are guests, just open the door by yourself, and save the trouble of the people in the Xue Mansion."
Wang De didn't catch his breath and fell directly to the ground
