Chapter 257
On an April afternoon, there is already some heat in the sun.
Fu Jun stepped out of the carriage with the hand of the river, looked up at the golden pattern carved on the door of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, and squinted slightly.
Five years have passed without any change in this magnificent mansion. It seemed to be isolated from time, and even the light and shade and angle of the pattern on the door were exactly the same as before Fu Jun left.
Fu Jun turned his eyes and looked around. Everywhere you look, but you see the sun scorching, sprinkled all over the rich lintel of the Pingnan Hou Mansion, the air is filled with a strong smell, drunk and drunk, but there is an indescribable sense of forest.
But I don't know if there is more wealth and nobility in this gorgeous taste, or more of the gloomy resentment accumulated over the years?
Fu Jun sighed silently, and turned his eyes to look at the two people standing next to him.
The first one next to her left hand is Zheng, Fu Jun's new stepmother. At this moment, Zheng's eyes were fixed on Fu Geng, who had dismounted, and even the nurse got out of the car with Fu Zhang, who was asleep, without asking Zheng to take a second look.
Fu Jun followed Zheng's gaze and glanced at Fu Geng, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
She took a deep breath and looked to the side again. The girl standing next to Zheng Shi wearing a cherry pink cardigan tulle jacket and a thin skirt with a tender yellow folded branch lotus tied underneath her head was Fu Jun's stepsister Fu Ke.
Fu Ke was also looking around at this time, her expression seemed to be calm, but her only eyebrows were low, showing that she was not in a good mood at the moment.
The two families of the long room and the second room waiting in front of the instrument gate have already greeted them. Fu Zhuang was dressed in a dark robe, with fluttering sleeves, which was more warm than a few years ago. He took a few steps forward and patted Fu Geng's shoulder, and said with emotion: "I said goodbye to the ferry two years ago, and I have seen you until now." The third brother looked refreshed, thinking that the journey was very smooth. ”
Fu Ting was wearing a crow-colored robe, stepped forward in a dashing manner, arched his hand, and said jokingly: "Lord Fu's arrival really made my Hou Mansion shine." ”
Fu Geng saluted the two of them first and said, "Big brother and second brother, don't come unharmed." After saluting, he turned to Fu Ting and smiled: "Second brother still likes to joke like this." ”
Fu Ting laughed, and Fu Zhuang said softly: "The third brother is back this time." The three of my brothers can also be reunited, and it is very happy. After that, he took Fu Geng's hand and said, "Go and say hello to my mother first, and then go with me." Father has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Fu Geng nodded and smiled: "Everything is up to my brother." ”
Fu Zhuang smiled warmly. He also told the Zhang family on the side: "Let's go over first, you take a soft sedan chair and take it slowly." ”
Zhang said softly: "I know. He smiled at Fu Geng again: "The third master should go over earlier, the old lady is in a hurry." ”
Fu Geng greeted Zhang and Cui, and the brothers went forward side by side.
In this whole process, Fu Geng and Zheng's eyes did not intersect at all. Even if he only had to turn his head slightly. You can see Zheng who is looking at him earnestly. However, Fu Geng's eyes did not come in this direction at all, and followed the two brothers to the Yimen.
Cui Shi on the side showed a slight smile on his face.
Zhang's came over first, and said with a smile to Zheng: "The third brother and sister are tired all the way, right?" ”
Zheng hurriedly retracted the gaze that had been looking ahead, stepped forward and saluted: "The eldest sister-in-law is fine, and the second sister-in-law is fine." ”
Zhang stretched out his hand to help her up, looked at her twice, and said softly: "I look good at the third brother and sister." I was worried that you would have a long journey. After that, he looked to the side again, and at a glance he saw Fu Jun standing lightly on the side.
As soon as he saw Fu Jun, a trace of surprise flashed in Zhang's eyes. Xuan even smiled again: "This is the four girls." It's really a long time, and I've become a big girl, but the eldest aunt is a little afraid to recognize each other. ”
Cui Shi also saw Fu Jun at this time, and there was a hint of surprise on his face, and he covered his lips and smiled: "Yo, I really don't dare to admit it if my sister-in-law doesn't say it." The four girls are like beauties, but they can compare everyone else. As she spoke, she beckoned to Fu Jun and said, "Why don't you come?" Let the second aunt take a look. ”
Fu Jun ignored Cui's unpleasant tone, only lowered his head slightly, his arms were naturally held in his lower abdomen, and he took two steps forward with an extremely graceful posture. Bow to Zhang and Cui. That line is really dignified and elegant, and the rules and etiquette are actually good.
When Zhang saw it, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but squint slightly. Cui Shi smiled more briskly and pulled Fu Jun up with his own hands. said admiringly: "Look at the style of this body, it is really stronger than those girls in the family." As he spoke, he laughed again, and seemed extremely happy.
Fu Jun didn't move, only stood with his head bowed according to the most standard etiquette, making a shy look, but secretly looked at the two uncles.
Not seen in five years. Zhang's has not changed much, and he still looks as delicate and gentle as he did back then. She was wearing a willow-green gown, combing a fallen horse bun, and inserting a jasper hairpin, and her clothes were simple but exquisite, which was very good at a glance.
Cui's is a little richer than five years ago, thinking that because he gave birth to a baby daughter, the sorrow between his eyebrows and eyes has faded, but only the pair of eyes that are smoky and foggy are still the same. and the fine white skin, because of the fatter, it looks more and more crystal soft, and it is not at all obvious that she is the mother of two children.
At this time, Fu Ke also followed Fu Jun to come over to salute, Zhang stepped forward and took Fu Jun's hand, stopped Fu Ke who was squatting, looked at Fu Ke carefully, and smiled at Zheng: "It's really two good boys, like shallots." ”
Seeing that Cui's and Zhang's were polite, Zheng smiled gently, lowered his head and said, "The children are still young, so they can't be praised by their sisters-in-law." ”
Fu Jun had long been indifferent to this kind of kind words, and at this time he lowered his head to listen, but the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of Fu Ke first glanced over here, and then the corner of his left mouth was slightly raised.
This is not the first time Fu Jun has seen Fu Ke do this.
It should be said that since the meeting with Fu Geng and his entourage halfway, every time Fu Ke saw Fu Jun, the corner of his left mouth couldn't help but be raised a few times. Although she maintained the politeness and etiquette on the surface, the occasional look of inquiry in her eyes, and the kind of eyes she stared at Fu Jun in no one's eyes, all made Fu Jun know that this fifth sister did not think very well of her.
Fu Jun can understand Fu Ke's feelings. Two people who are not related by blood have become sisters in the family, and no one can accept it immediately. What's more, Fu Jun doesn't have a good impression of this fifth sister. Therefore, on the way back to Beijing, the two of them said no more than ten sentences combined. (To be continued.) )
