But Mingzhu then said, "Do you think she will be able to live well this way? It's naïve. Wan Shuhui was also too naïve. Her beauty has caused trouble for her, can three women without backing survive in this society? Although she lived in a simple house, she was still seen by some gentlemen, so she began to pester her. Originally, she should have only two ways to go, one was to be a concubine for those gentlemen, and the other was to die. She must be reluctant to be a concubine, but death is not so easy. At this time, Wan Shuhui heard Wen Hui's reputation, gambled, and asked Mrs. Qing to inquire about Wen Hui's whereabouts, at a party of our sisters, she happened to meet Wen Hui, and Wen Hui's guards beat those gentlemen away, Wan Shuhui wanted to be loyal to Wen Hui. Wen Hui saw that she was talented, and did not dislike her identity, but reused it from then on. Only then did she have her later story, becoming the head of the bank, the financial officer of Shanghai City, and now the deputy city lord of Qingchun City. ”

Langxue let out a long sigh of relief.

After thinking for a while, Lang Xue said, "Madam, so to speak, Lord Wen Hui is a very kind person?" ”

Mingzhu smiled and said, "She's a weird person, and she often says weird things. But her talent is well recognized. She never looked at her origin. You know? Because of Wan Shuhui, Mrs. Qing has also been favored by her, and now she has been hired by her to be the gentleman of the school in Nanyang Qingchun City. Specializing in teaching talented boys and girls singing and dancing skills. ”

Lang Xue was startled and asked, "Mrs. Qing can still be a husband?" In the academy? ”

In this era, being a teacher is a noble profession that can be proud of princes. Laughing at the powerful is a noble profession. But a famous prostitute in a Qinglou is a teacher, which is really appalling.

Mingzhu said: "What's this, as long as you are talented, you can be reused by Wen Hui." Besides, you haven't been to Qingchun City, you don't know that place, it's a place that the emperor can't control, and the customs and habits are a little different from our Dachu. There aren't so many rules. Wen Hui herself is the emperor of the soil, and what she says is good is good. She raised a lot of kabuki, and she was not like ordinary Qinglou women. It's a showman, not a sell-out. Specialized performances, but also set up a theater, regularly performed songs and dances for the people. The people don't have to watch it for free, they have to pay for tickets. Very expensive. So. Those kabuki were all of high status. It is very respected in Qingchun City. ”

Lang Xue's eyes widened, there is still such a place in the world?

Mingzhu said: "So, don't be inferior. Wen Hui won't look down on you. As long as you straighten your waist and behave, Wen Hui will help you. However, there is one thing I want to make clear to you, you must be sincere to her, otherwise, it will be terrible for her to turn her face. ”

Lu Xue nodded hurriedly. For this future sister-in-law, she was instinctively a little afraid. After all, the difference between the identities of the two sides is too great. She has no parents to rely on, and only by pleasing her brother and sister-in-law can she have a future. However, hearing what Mingzhu said, her heart calmed down a little, it turned out that this sister-in-law is such a character, it seems that as long as she is well-behaved and obedient, the sister-in-law will definitely not have an opinion on her previous affairs, maybe she will sympathize with her and find her a good mother-in-law. The Nanyang city that Madame said was actually such a custom, and she liked it as soon as she heard it. It is not difficult to ask my brother and sister-in-law to find a mother-in-law in Nanyang, and I will be able to live well under the protection of the city lord's brother and sister-in-law for the rest of my life.

While talking, he soon arrived at Chen Wenhui's county lord's mansion. Originally, the Liu family was very close to the county lord's mansion, and it was also very close to Xiao Chen's house, in the middle of Xiao Chen's family and Liu's family.

Langxue and Mingzhu got out of the carriage.

Lang Xue looked up, a little dizzy, the gate of this mansion is really too magnificent, five stops and three wide, this is the regulation of the county lord's mansion, but it is much more magnificent than the gate of the Zhongyi Mansion that she secretly went to see before. It is also more magnificent than the Liu family where she lives. There is also the gatehouse, the tile beam, the carved beams and painted buildings, and the materials used are the best, which is incomparable to the same kind of county lord's mansion, and everywhere shows the wealth of the master.

There were already some servants standing at the door, all of them were in high spirits and full of spirit, and the clothes they wore were also very uniform, not of satin, but of fine cotton, and this summer, wearing this muslin was sweat-absorbing and comfortable. This muslin cloth sells for a higher price than ordinary satin, which is really a low-key luxury.

Mingzhu smiled and said to Liu Jingyuan: "So we are still early?" ”

Liu Jingyuan was about to answer, when a shrewd man wearing a housekeeper's clothes ran out, came up with a smile and saluted, and said, "Auntie, Grandma Liu, Lord Zhao, girl." Please wait a while, the house has already reported the news, the lord, the lady, and our girl are all on the way, it is estimated that it will be there soon, or go first to have a cup of tea, the weather is a little hot. ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said: "It's not hot, it's okay today, we are juniors, we should wait." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of carriages and horses' hooves sounded, Zhao Chongyi's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen that the person on the horse was Chen Yuanheng, followed by three carriages, thinking that it was Chen Wenhui's mother and daughter who were riding, and the maids with heads and faces were riding.

In a blink of an eye, the person had arrived in front of him, Chen Wenhui helped Bai get out of the carriage, and Liu Jingyuan and others had already saluted Chen Yuanheng. Chen Wenhui also saluted them, and Bai said: "Okay, let's not stand at the door, we are all a family, there is no need to give so many courtesies, hurry up and go in first." Chen Mao, you don't invite guests in? ”

Chen Mao was the housekeeper of the county lord's mansion, and said with a smile: "I was about to invite a few adults, aunts, and girls to come in, and the lady and master are here." ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said: "Chen Mao is inviting us in for tea. ”

Chen Yuanheng said with a smile: "It's just right, let's go in together and look all the way, brainstorm all the way, and inscribe Wen Hui's mansion." There is no need for inscriptions on this gate, I think it is not the emperor, or the prince will give a plaque. It's that we have to ask for something. ”

Zhao Chongyi hurriedly said: "Why don't I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come over tomorrow?" ”

Chen Yuanheng laughed and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go in." ”

Entering the gate, you will be greeted by a huge white marble shadow wall, which is vividly carved with the pattern of rich flowers. The carving is called a meticulous ah, every leaf, every petal is free to roll, as if it is not carved but really living flowers. In fact, the big mansions in the capital generally have a shadow wall in front of the door, and there is also a shadow wall at the entrance, which is used to block evil. The shadow wall in front of the county lord's mansion is a simple big bluestone shadow wall, except for the carvings such as the eaves are more detailed, and there are not too many patterns, and the whole wall is also plain, without carving patterns. This is the rule of ordinary large households, and those placed outside should be low-key.

The shadow wall outside the county lord's mansion is also so low-key, but the shadow wall placed inside the gate is not low-key, such a big white marble shadow wall is more magnificent than the bluestone shadow wall of ordinary people, and the blue brick shadow wall is too magnificent, it is really rich to the extreme. Especially the carving on it, the pattern is too chic, most people use it to seal the marquis immediately, bamboo to report peace, magpie climbing branches, treasure vases and the like, but Chen Wenhui's mansion is very chic, it is a rich flower. The flowers carved on the shadow wall are of different shapes, and there are hundreds of flowers. Among them, there are also many flowers that are special to the South Seas, such as kapok.

Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but admire, the carving of the shadow wall was delicate, Liu Jingyuan looked at Zhao Chongyi quietly, and saw Zhao Chongyi's happy hand dancing, thinking to himself, it can be seen from this that this brother of his own must also be a strict wife. What a pity.

Liu Jingyuan's abnormality, no one noticed it, but his wife Mingzhu did, Mingzhu was originally a smart woman in ice and snow, she figured it out with a roll of her eyes, deliberately took a few steps behind, and whispered to her husband: "People are willing to fight and suffer, what do you care." ”

After speaking, he walked over quickly and followed the Bai family. Liu Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly in his heart, what his wife said was very right, Chen Wenhui and Zhao Chongyi were willing to fight and suffer, the two of them were happy, Zhao Chongyi might be happy in it, what do you care? Besides, if I didn't say a single thought, my wife knew about it, and warned myself, which shows that I am also a strict wife, so how can I be embarrassed to laugh at others. Thinking about it again, the three brothers, Zhao Chongyi and himself, are all strict wives. But it's also stronger than the crown prince. Although he has a harem, he doesn't have a confidant, it's all calculating, is this life interesting? It's better to be strict with your two wives. Thinking of this, Liu Jingyuan smiled and hurriedly followed.

Chen Mao, the housekeeper in front, was introducing and said, "This house is divided into three roads in total. The middle road is where the main house is located. In front is the outer courtyard and the outer study and council chamber, all of which were built according to the regulations of the county lord. After the outer courtyard, there is a lake stone, divided into three courtyards, one is the main courtyard, that is where the main house is, is the inner courtyard, there are a total of five before and after, each entry has the corresponding flowers and trees, copy the verandah, wing room and so on. The left and the right are not like the main house, they are yards, each with its own characteristics, large or small, some are planted with bamboo, quiet and elegant, some are planted with many fragrant flowers, herbs, fragrant smell, some are planted with various colored flowers, and one of them is dressed up as a thatched hut, full of farmhouse wild interest. There is water flowing through the courtyards on both sides of the garden, which is drawn from outside the garden and flows into the lake in the garden behind. The garden behind is the most beautiful exquisite, the place is big, there are mountains and rivers, pavilions and pavilions are dotted among them, flowers and trees are sparse, delicate and very good, right now, it is the time to enjoy the lotus, the lake is full of lotus flowers, beautiful. Sir, where do we start first? (To be continued......)
