Chapter 58: Respect
Situ Yingsleeve and his younger brother Situ Chenlei rode in a car that walked for a long time on the streets of the capital of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom before they came to the gate of the Marquis of Changxing.
The three countries of the Zhongzhou continent - Northern Qi, Dongyuan and Southern Zheng - did not have the title of duke, except for the prince, the prince of the county, and then the marquis.
The Changxing Marquis Mansion of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom is the first of the three marquis, and the standard scale of the mansion is almost the same as that of the palace.
Situ Ying got out of the car and squinted at the vast Hou Mansion.
The gate of the Marquis of Changxing is extremely high, only one level shorter than the prince, and the same system as the county king.
The gate is open on the central axis of the entire Hou Mansion, and the gatehouse of the Wuxiang family is open in the southeast direction of the house.
The green glazed tile-covered gatehouse has three tall rooms, the middle of which can be opened.
The rivets on the vermilion lacquer gate are nine rows and five columns, a total of forty-five.
There are two jade and white stone lions squatting in front of the gate, one male and one female, and they are extremely powerful in front of the vermilion lacquer gate.
Directly in front of the door, in order to separate it from the street, a two-person high shadow wall was erected, facing the gate.
Situ Yingsleeve glanced at the gate of this Hou Mansion with a complicated expression, lowered his head and took his younger brother's hand, and walked over with Murong Changqing.
At the main entrance of the Hou Mansion sat two rows of doormen, all with their chests folded and their stomachs folded, chatting with spittle.
Seeing Murong Changqing coming, these disciples hurriedly got up to greet him, walked down the steps, and bowed to him, "The prince is back." β
Murong Changqing nodded, did not speak, and walked towards the corner gate with Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei.
Those disciples didn't dare to ask more, but only bowed down and watched them pass.
Coming to the corner gate, Murong Changqing's little servant stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The door guarding the corner door squeaked open the door, and when he saw that it was Murong Changqing coming, he hurriedly smiled and saluted: "The prince is back." β
Murong Changqing didn't nod his head this time, stepped straight into the corner door, stood still inside, turned back to Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei and said, "Come in." β
She didn't even tell the people of the Changxing Marquis Mansion about the identity of her and her younger brother.
Situ Yingsleeve was no longer the twelve-year-old little girl in the previous life who had closed herself up, she stood still with a smile and said, "Murong Gongzi, my mother brought some gifts to Mrs. Murong, should I give them to Menzi or to the steward?" β
Of course, she brought those gifts, but she was Murong Changqing's fiancΓ©e, so it was hard to say that she brought them herself, so she could only excuse that she was sent by her mother.
It is normal for elders to exchange etiquette with each other, even if it is a future in-law.
Murong Changqing thought for a while and said, "Bring it in and hand it over to my mother directly, you don't need to give it to the door or the manager." β
Situ Yingsleeves responded, turned around and said to the maid who was holding the gift box: "You go in with me and Xiao Lei, and remember to make a big salute when you see Mrs. Murong later." Although we are from the south of the Yangtze River, we still have to keep the etiquette of the capital. β
The door of the corner gate pricked up his ears to listen to Situ Yingsleeve's words, and when he saw that she said that she was "from Jiangnan", he couldn't help muttering in his heart: Is it the fiancΓ©e of the prince from Jiangnan?
They all knew that when the prince was three years old, his wife had set up a girl from a merchant family with him to be his wife, which was really unexpected by everyone......
Murong Changqing seemed to understand what Situ Yingsleeve meant, and he laughed loudly: "You are my fiancΓ©e, the future master of this Hou Mansion, what do you have to explain to these subordinates?" - Let's go. As he spoke, he came out of the corner door and took Situ Chenlei's other hand.
Situ Yingsleeve entered the corner gate with him and Xiao Lei.
Entering the Hou Mansion, four small servants carried two sedan chairs with blue brocade and carried them over.
Situ Yingsleeve took Xiao Lei to the sedan chair in front, and Murong Changqing got into the sedan chair in the back and went to the second gate together.
The sedan chair walked for about a stick of incense before coming to the second gate.
Several people got down from the sedan chair, entered the second gate, and changed into a sedan chair carried by four mothers-in-law, winding all the way to the gate of Wutong Garden, the main house of the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
Situ Yingsleeve and Situ Chenlei got down from the sedan chair and followed Murong Changqing to Wutong Garden.
Murong Lady Lu Ruifeng sat in the upper room, with a red gold twisted silk Wufu hanging pearl hairpin on her wishful bun, the pearls were as big as a dragon's eye, and the pearls were shiny, making her face as if covered with a layer of fluorescence, white and shiny.
She was not very old, but she was already slightly blessed, wearing a plump embroidered with delicate orchids on her forehead, and a gown with a red brocade pine crane longevity chart, revealing a dark purple dress underneath.
The red and purple collocation is worn on Lu Ruifeng, but it is not tacky at all, but it adds to the luxury.
Seeing Murong Changqing leading Situ Yingsleeve in, Lu Ruifeng's face immediately showed a smile, she stood up, hugged Situ Yingsleeve, who was saluting, into her arms, and said continuously: "You kid, you've been in the capital for so long before you came to see me." If your mother is still here, she will be the first to come to see me when she comes to the capital! β
The actions and rhetoric are exactly the same as in the previous life, but half a year earlier.
Situ Yingsleeve said with a smile: "Aunt is very polite. My family had just entered Beijing, and we went to my grandfather's house a few days ago. Today, I came to see you from my grandfather's house, and I hope you will forgive me. β
Lu Ruifeng held Situ Ying's chin with his hand and looked at it carefully, and while watching, tears came out, and he hurriedly wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and said: "Your eyes are exactly the same as your mother's, as soon as I saw your eyes, I remembered your mother." Poor mother, why did you go so early? Then he turned around and saw Situ Chenlei holding a little black cat, and said with a smile: "This is Xiao Lei?" β
Situ Yingsleeve nodded hurriedly, and said to Situ Chenlei: "Xiao Lei, this is Mrs. Lu, you can also call her Aunt Murong." β
Situ Chenlei hugged the little black cat and refused to look up, looking very scared.
Lu Ruifeng took Situ Chenlei into his arms with pity and said, "Good boy, don't call anyone." Come, aunt has delicious pastries here, let my sisters take you to eat later. β
Situ Chenlei let out a soft "um" and hugged Xiao Meow tighter.
Lu Ruifeng smiled and said, "Xiao Lei, do you like cats?" I also love cats. I have all the famous cats here, and there are Persian cats from Persia, haven't you seen them? β
Speaking of cats, Situ Chenlei was a little bolder, raised his head and said, "Little Meow is also a Persian cat." As he spoke, he lifted Xiao Meow up to Lu Ruifeng.
Lu Ruifeng was stunned and looked at the little black cat carefully.
It was found that there was a ring of golden turquoise around its black eyes, which could not be seen at all unless you looked closely.
This kind of cat, which is the most precious breed of Persian cat, is known as the Dark Night Streamer! -- The many cats raised by their Hou Mansion, including the four-hoofed snow-stepping Persian cat of Queen Qi in the palace, are not as valuable as the Persian cat in Xiao Lei's arms!
Lu Ruifeng's favorite thing in his life is cats, and he takes good care of his cats, and even Murong Changqing ate cat vinegar when he was a child......
"Dark Night Streamer! You have a night streamer! Lu Ruifeng said in surprise and stretched out his hand to Xiao Lei, "Xiao Lei, is it okay to give your aunt a hug for this cat?" β
Situ Chenlei was very happy that others also liked Xiao Meow, so he hurriedly put Xiao Meow in Lu Ruifeng's arms and said, "Xiao Meow is very well-behaved." β
Lu Ruifeng hugged Xiao Meow tightly, and kept smoothing the soft black fine hair on its back with his hand, and the color of love was overflowing.
"You're here?" A man's voice came from the door, mellow and smooth, somewhat similar to Murong Changqing's voice.
Of course, Murong Changqing was a fifteen-year-old boy with a high-pitched voice.
Situ Yingsleeve turned around and saw that it was Murong Chen, the Marquis of Changxing, who came.
He is in his thirties, thin and elegant, not like a military general, but like a literati.
"Master Hou is here." Murong Lady Lu Ruifeng hurriedly bowed and asked cautiously, "Master Hou, are you eating in the inner courtyard tonight?" β
Murong Chen sighed "hmm" and said politely: "I'm tired of Mrs. β
Situ Yingsleeve watched this scene, and the sense of disobedience in his heart rose again.
In her previous life, she had this feeling, that is, the relationship between Murong Chen, Marquis of Changxing, and his wife Lu Ruifeng was too polite, too courteous, and too respectful......
