Extra: Good things are near
The back garden of Yan's Mansion can only be seen for one season.
Yan Mo sat on the edge of the water pavilion and looked in front of him.
In the weather of May, a large piece of moon red blooms beautifully, crimson and delicate, as if to burn out the cold silence of the three seasons in this season, and the fragrance and glamour that gushes out are stacked up to fill the garden with liveliness.
Today's Yan Mansion is really lively, not only the beauty of the back garden, but also the coming and going in the main room in front of it is also a period of fireworks and red dust.
"Yo, the big girl is here, but I'm easy to find." The third wife, Fahrenheit, walked in from outside the garden with a smile, and the waist-pinching crepe pink light shirt was worn by her as if she had spilled chicken blood.
Yan Mo nodded to her, but didn't get up, Hua Shi sat beside her with a twist on the waist of the bucket, and said with a smile while fanning the wind with a handkerchief: "Why don't you go ahead and take a look, big girl?" Isn't it shy? Ouch, what's so embarrassing about this, it's natural for a man to marry a woman. It's not that I said, that Anning Bofu is really a big deal, the bride price alone is three thousand taels, scared, and the dowry is also a whole hundred loads, but people are dazzled, more decent than the five girls who married some time ago in the fourth room, don't you see your wife's face, tsk, that's really ......"
When she said this, she suddenly stopped, took a handkerchief to cover her mouth, and looked at Yan Mo with exaggerated eyes, her expression seemed to hate to bite off her tongue, and there was needle-like jealousy and disdain in her eyes.
It's just an old girl who can't get married, but she has the blue eyes of An Ningbo, and she wants to be hired as the head lady, even if she continues the chord of the three stubbles, it is also a step to the sky, and the hen becomes a phoenix.
And who is Uncle Fu Geng? That is the most handsome Tanhualang in the Han Dynasty, even if he is older, but Fang Cai's family has also seen it in the back hall, he is handsome and beautiful, and his bearing, how can the eighteen, nineteen or nineteen young men compare?
How can this old girl get this great blessing?
Fahrenheit's eyes shone from behind the veil, almost shining two holes in the man's body.
Yan Mo glanced at her, and immediately saw through the thoughts of this third aunt, and the other party really didn't hide it much, just to show it to others.
She sneered and sat upright: "Why didn't Aunt Santang go on?" It's not like this to coax the seedlings, if you want to talk about it, you have to finish it, it's best to say that my heart is on fire, rush to my stepmother and make trouble with her, Aunt Santang's heart is comfortable, isn't it? ”
Hua's heart was pierced by her words, but she was not very uncomfortable, laughed twice and gently pounced on Yan Mo with a handkerchief, and said coquettishly: "Ouch, the eldest girl is unforgiving with this mouth, Aunt Santang, I am also worried about you, your wife is really not happy this time, people are kind enough to give you a reminder, but you still poke my heart with words." As he spoke, he made a gesture of holding his heart, and pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief.
Yan Mo frowned in disgust, fanned her nose with her hand and said, "You have to get it, I'm afraid you can't do it?" How much incense do you smoke with this veil? Three miles away can choke people and faint. As he spoke, a touch of coldness rose between his eyebrows, and he said: "I forgot, Aunt Santang's family also has a concubine of the sixth girl, I think you want to choke me to death first, and then let your girl marry me in my name?" ”
Fahrenheit's seemingly honest fat face flashed sharply, and he smiled again and said, "Look at your sharp mouth, I'm really kind, you don't appreciate it. pbtxt.” As he spoke, he leaned forward again, wanting to say something.
Yan Mo blocked his hand, and the person had already stood up, and said, "Aunt Santang, I'll put the words here." Don't talk about you, even if you are all tied up in the three rooms, I am not afraid of Yan Mo. That Anningbo Mansion is not a cat and a dog's family, you don't always want to be like a few years ago, let your three-room daughter take my family affairs, this time you three-room if you dare to commit a little bad water, I will call you this room out of the house! Try it and see if I dare! ”
When she said this, her chest was already so angry that she fell to the ground, and two angry red clouds rose on her face, as if the moon red had opened on her face, adding a bit of charm.
She's not afraid at all now.
The only male in their long room is Yan Mo's younger brother, who is now studying in Shandong, and is out of the grasp of the Yan family.
Fahrenheit was stunned at first when he heard this, and even jumped up to scold, who would have thought that at this time, he suddenly heard someone outside the courtyard shouting: "Bold, who dares to be disrespectful to Miss Yan!" ”
The voice was cold and solemn, and it was born with a bit of evil, just like a gust of cold wind blowing, blowing the purple and red of that garden into a cold winter.
Before Fahrenheit's open mouth could close, his body shook involuntarily.
Even the old lady in charge of their Yan Mansion never had such a majestic voice.
She rolled her eyes to look to the side, but saw an old female official wearing a red Shu brocade palace uniform, standing solemnly at the gate of the garden, followed by two mothers and four maids, all of whom were covered in silk.
Although Hua Shi has no knowledge, she is not an ignorant and stupid woman, otherwise she would not have used clever tricks to ask her daughter to take Yan Mo's marriage, and relied on the fact that Xiao Shi, the second wife of the housekeeper, was an aunt and cousin, and scraped up the property of Yan Mo's long house.
As soon as he saw the costumes of these people, Hua immediately knew that this was from the high gate, and the grandmother who took the lead and the female official clothes were the style of the palace.
Hua Shi only glanced at it, his forehead was sweating, and he didn't dare to wipe it with a handkerchief, his eyes rolled and he stepped forward, so he wanted to say a few words, and suddenly saw that these people were still followed by people, but they were all subordinates of the Yan Mansion, and there was also the steward Du Mother beside Xiao.
Nadu's mother was good friends with Fahrenheit, and at this time, she looked at her and wiped her neck, and desperately pouted to the side.
Seeing this, Fahrenheit immediately stepped aside, and the smile on his face was smoothed out, and he was replaced with a respectful appearance.
Mama Xia glanced at her from the corner of her eye.
Although this merchant is a little vulgar, he is not too stupid, and his ability to look at his eyes is first-class.
She turned her gaze and looked around the garden, and she knew the bottom of her mind.
This Yanfu has been in business for several generations, the ancestors have been very rich, but now it is not very poor, although the mansion is big, but it is ruined, and the weeds in the garden are almost not over people's feet, except for the moon and moon red in the flower and the water pavilion that has lost the paint, there is no other scene to see.
She turned her mind around, bowed slightly, and walked to Yan Mo according to the most standard etiquette, before she said respectfully: "I've seen Miss Yan." ”
Yan Mo knew Mama Xia, and knew that she was a female official in the palace, so she didn't dare to hold her up at this time, so she turned sideways to avoid her courtesy, and said with a smile: "Hello Mama Xia, why did you come here at this time?" ”
Although today is the day when Fu Geng made a decision for Yanfu, Mama Xia is by Fu Jun's side, so she shouldn't come.
Mama Xia lowered her eyes and bowed, and her attitude was very polite: "If you return to Miss Yan, it was the county lord's mother who asked me to come to serve by your side, and in the future, you will be Mrs. Xuan, and you will always enter the palace several times a year, and the county lord's mother will send me to accompany you to familiarize yourself with the palace rules and palace etiquette." ”
Obviously, he was ordered by the county lord to support his future mother-in-law, but he said it tactfully, and he took the other party's face very seriously.
Yan Mo's heart was warm, and there was a smile on her face.
Yongyi county lord should have been in office with her husband last year, she didn't want to leave Beijing and she found out that she was pregnant, Xiaoyao Bo Meng Yuan was very distressed by his beloved wife, for fear that he would hurt the county lord's body during pregnancy, when even if he turned back to the capital, entered the palace and asked for the grace of the queen mother, leaving the county lord in Beijing to give birth, he himself went to work alone, but he did not delay long outside, and rushed back in the spring of this year.
Now that the county lord's mother has given birth to a daughter, the family of three lives in Xiaoyaobo's mansion, which is just in time for An Ningbo's wedding.
Thinking like this, Yan Mo felt a little ashamed in her heart, and her head hung down.
At this time, Mama Xia pointed back at several people behind her, and said respectfully: "A few of them were sent by the uncle, and the uncle heard that the mother in front of the girl left a large dowry, because he was afraid that the girl would not be able to do it alone, so he sent these people to help the girl count the dowry and take care of the input industry." ”
Every time she said a word, the faces of Fahrenheit and Mother Du and others on the side changed, and when they heard that those richly dressed mothers and maids had come to help Yan Mo count her biological mother's inheritance, Hua's face could already be described as pale.
Yan Mo's biological mother You is the daughter of a wealthy businessman in Shanxi, and when she married in, she brought a large dowry, and then something happened to You's mother's family, and gradually fell, You gave birth to Yan Mo's younger brother soon after he died, and the second room of the Yan family joined forces with the third room, and on the grounds that Yan Mo was in trouble, she was only six years old and sent her out of the house, fostered in a nunnery, and raised until she was fifteen years old.
In the past ten years, it is enough for them to take You's dowry for themselves, although Yan Mo has used a lot of methods after returning home, but she has no choice but to decline in the long house, her father left early, her stepmother has a warm temper, and she has a younger brother to take care of, so she has to suffer a lot of dark losses, and several marriages have been disturbed by these two people, the purpose is to prevent her from having the opportunity to take over You's dowry.
However, the people in these rooms never thought that this old girl, who was about to die in Yan's mansion, would find such a good family business, and this is not counted, before this person passed the door, the people of her husband's family deceived her.
It's just that they can't afford to provoke this husband's family, the so-called people don't fight with officials, so what is the identity of An Ningbo? What is the identity of their Yan family? The mountains are pressed in front of the ants, what else can the ants do?
At that moment, Hua's honest fat face was sweating like pulp, the muscles of his cheeks were shaking, and he couldn't care about any etiquette, so he kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
Mother Du on the side quietly stepped over, and said softly in a trembling voice: "These are just sent to the backyard, the second wife doesn't know, there are also a few housekeepers and a few guards in the front yard, scared, the guard is carrying a knife, and he has to stare when he speaks, but it can be terrifying." These old men said that they wanted to check the accounts of Yan Mansion, and now the second old man and the third old father are accompanied, and the old lady said cruelly, the eldest girl's dowry must be paid back without less......"
What Du's mother said, Hua's couldn't hear clearly, she could only see the other party's mouth opening and closing, everything around her seemed to be fogged, she couldn't see it really, and she couldn't hear it. The only thing she could feel was her own heavy breathing, each stroke like a knife cutting through her throat, and her internal organs hurt.
Looking at Hua's white, blue, blue and purple face, Yan Mo felt inexplicably happy.
This kind of method is really to her liking.
Although it is said that it is the face of some subordinates, what is the good thing about this Yan Mansion? Not to mention face, even if all the people in the second and third rooms died in front of her, she would not frown.
Sure enough, the feeling of having someone to support you is just different.
Yan Mo lowered her head and looked at the hem of her skirt, the smile on the corner of her lips spread slightly, and the red cloud on her face has not dissipated, but at this time, it has a different meaning.
Mama Xia smiled silently and retreated, and another housekeeper mother wearing a green Shu brocade jacket walked forward a few steps forward and said steadily: "The old slave's family name is Li, and the uncle sent the old slave to serve the girl, and the girl called the old slave Li Niangzi." ”
As soon as she said this, several maids on the side also stepped forward to salute, and the style of the whole body was by no means comparable to the subordinates of the Yan Mansion.
Yan Mo said a few polite words to them, and Mrs. Li stepped forward, leaned in front of Yan Mo and whispered: "There are slaves and maids waiting here, Miss Yan and go to the wisteria flower hall in front of you for a walk." ”
She said this abruptly, Yan Mo was slightly shocked in her heart, and even if she came to her senses, the red clouds on her cheeks were deep again, and she didn't speak, she only smiled at Li Niangzi, and then stepped down the water pavilion.
Hua and the others on the side had the heart to follow the past, and Mama Nai Xia and Li Niangzi stood at the gate of the garden left and right, and several of them were already short in momentum, and they could only watch Yan Mo turn out of the courtyard gate, a neem purple dress rolled in the wind, and soon disappeared.
Wisteria flower hall is connected to the front yard and back house, in the early years, when the Yan family was generous, this was the sedan chair hall, but now the Yan Mansion has no such pomp to talk about, this flower hall has also become a decoration, only the shelf around the green and fragrant wisteria flowers, do not know the ups and downs of the world, still hanging flowers every year, decorating this once rich lintel.
From the back garden to the wisteria flower hall, there are still a few courtyards that pass through the hall and two or three rooms, Yan Mo is not too fast, although a heart tube is "pounding" and beating, there is not much unusual on the face, occasionally meet three or two servants, so he smiled to deal with a few compliments from these people, and after a while, he saw an open house in front of the green ground.
In the courtyard of the house in May, even the wild grass grows a thick green, as if with infinite vitality, and the breeze blows, and the fragrance of grass blades hits the mouth.
She couldn't help but stop, and put her hand on her chest, as if to silence the beating heart in this action.
However, there was a touch of cold color floating in the thick shade, like a deep blue shadow under the green shadow, blown by the wind, revealing that fairy-like face, and the white hair on the temples reflected the skylight, like snow falling on the green leaves, for no reason, which made her feel distressed.
She looked at the figure in the green leaves in a daze, and in an instant, the lively and noisy May scene disappeared, only her heartbeat of "plopping, plopping", carrying the warm breeze of May, flowed endlessly between heaven and earth...... (Shu Shu is right.) /29/29484/)--
