Chapter 69: Sun Mansion (1)
When Li Xin and Shopkeeper Sun arrived in the capital, it was already the evening of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month. Li Xin's family is a child, so Shopkeeper Sun deliberately walked slowly along the way.
Although it was the first time to go out, fortunately, Li Xin's children were also very competitive, and there was no discomfort, and no one got motion sickness. At the beginning, Li Xin was also worried that Wenbo and the others would get motion sickness, although they walked all the way on official roads, but they were all ordinary dirt roads, not highways in the previous life. Even on the highway in the previous life, there are many people who can get motion sickness, and Wenbo's body is still very competitive.
Although the body is nothing, however, after so many days of traveling, the excitement of the beginning has passed, and it still feels a little boring.
Finally arrived in the capital, Wen Hao and Yueting both screamed and jumped happily. Li Xin also lifted the curtain and looked out, the towering city gate, the city gate was engraved with two big characters - Jiankang.
It's almost the New Year, the smell of the New Year is getting heavier and heavier, there are firecrackers everywhere, some are early, there are already fireworks rising, and then they burst into the air. There were a lot of carriages in the capital, and after a while, it was Li Xin's turn and his party, and it was not too early, and the group entered the city gate, and went to Sun's house non-stop.
When the carriage stopped, Zhu Yong lifted the curtain and let Li Xin's sisters and brothers get out of the carriage, Li Xin jumped out of the carriage first, and then Wenbo himself came down, Wen Hao also followed, and turned around to help Yuexiang, and Li Xin stepped forward to hug Yueting down. The Sun family is indeed very wealthy, the house alone occupies most of the entire street, and the outside is a high wall, and you can't see the scene inside, but you can also imagine what kind of courtyard is deep and full of houses.
When the carriage passed by the main gate, Li Xin took a look, and it was really the appearance of a rich and noble family, the gate was open, and on the plaque were two big golden characters - Sun Mansion. The door is closed, and no one is watching, so you can see each other, and the door is not open when there is nothing to do on weekdays. They bypassed the gate and entered the East Corner Gate, where the shopkeeper and the porter should be very familiar, and went up to say a few words, and the porter welcomed them in. The threshold was removed again, and even the carriage was rushed in, and someone took Zhu Yong to park the carriage first.
Shopkeeper Sun took Li Xin's sister and brother to walk inside slowly, and Li Xin looked at the surrounding environment with his spare eyes as he walked. It's really a south-side courtyard style, with a bit of garden characteristics. Looking at the past all the way, there is the sound of flowing water, rockery ponds, pavilions and pavilions, and so on. Strange flowers, green pines and cypresses, the scenery is unique.
After walking not far, a small sedan chair stopped in front of them, and the shopkeeper Sun asked Li Xin's sisters and brothers to get on the sedan chair. Li Xin asked Wenbo to get on the sedan chair, and she herself carried Yueting up. This is the first time Li Xin has sat in a sedan chair in his previous life and present life, and it is actually not very comfortable. Although the sedan chair driver walked quite steadily, he was also a little shaky, and he was not comfortable in the carriage. I really don't know why people like to sit in a sedan chair at this time! It's not very comfortable, and the foot journey is not fast!
Li Xin doesn't like to sit in a sedan chair very much, in fact, the biggest reason is because it is carried by people. In her previous life, she saw a lot of all kinds of motor vehicles, which could be driven as long as they were fueled, and they didn't need to spend much effort on anyone's part, and her family was used to that kind of life. Usually there is a carriage at home, and she is afraid that the horse will be tired, so she is not too reluctant to let the horse pull too many things. This is true of horses, but even more so of men. Sitting in a sedan chair always makes her feel weird. She can't control what others do, but it's better not to use a sedan chair in the future.
The sedan chair was wobbly, and I don't know how long it took to stop.
"But when it arrived, it was later than usual! The old lady was already waiting. "A woman's voice sounded outside, and when I heard it, I felt that she was a good person.
"It's a little slower this year, but it's here today." It was the voice of the shopkeeper Sun who answered.
"The back is the Li family's young lady?"
"Yes."
Soon someone lifted the curtain on the sedan chair where Li Xin was sitting, it was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, who pulled Yueting off the sedan chair with a smile on her face, and then turned around to help Li Xin. Out of the sedan chair, Wenbo and several people have also been helped out of the sedan chair. The person who talked to the shopkeeper Sun was a woman in her fifties, dressed very decently, the clothes on her body were very good, and there were two golden hairpins on her head.
"Ah, this is the big girl, right? But she's really a pretty girl. If the old lady sees it, she doesn't know how happy she is! When the woman saw Li Xin approaching, she smiled and took Li Xin's hand.
"I don't know what to call the eldest lady?"
"My husband's surname is Wang, and it is enough to call me Wang's mother-in-law."
"How dare you, then I'll call 'Aunt Wang'! In our countryside, if there is something inappropriate, don't be surprised. ”
"The girl is really good at talking, and she says that she is a countryman, so we don't have any place to stand. The old lady is already waiting, a few girls and young ladies follow me in! Aunt Wang said and led the way in front of her, taking Li Xin and the others inside.
In a blink of an eye, he turned into the courtyard, bypassed the large screen of white marble on the red sandalwood frame, and the scene of the courtyard came into view. On the front are five rooms, three large houses and two transepts, and the house is open, and the inside must be very bright. There are three chambers on each side. The courtyard is wide, planted with flowers and grasses, a lush and vibrant area.
Outside the room is a circle of hand-copying verandah, and there are a few girls dressed in red and green sitting on the verandah, all of whom are young and well-dressed, and they are also embarrassed to think about it. Seeing that Aunt Wang was coming with someone, someone hurriedly reported inside, and at the same time lifted the curtain of the door, and Aunt Wang took Li Xin's sisters and brothers to go inside. Yue Zhu was also a little nervous, and held Li Xin's hand tightly.
When you enter the house, there is a hot air in your face, and the little cold on your body will not be washed away. The house should be inserted with plum, and you can smell the faint aroma of plum, which is very pleasant.
On the right seat is a woman in her fifties, who looks about the same age as Aunt Wang, but the dress on her body is very old, and she is wearing a plain silver hairpin and a few emerald jewelry on her head, but she feels a few years older than her own age.
"Old lady, take a look, the character of this girl from the Li family is not inferior to the ladies in the house, right?" Aunt Wang stepped forward to greet the old lady, and said with a smile. As soon as you listen to the tone of the voice, you can know how good the relationship between Aunt Wang and the old lady is.
"I've seen Mrs. Sun." Li Xin also took Wenbo and saluted. This is still a good study before you want to go, but you don't have to be outstanding, just don't be ugly.
"It's all good boys, don't be polite, come and sit." Mrs. Sun took care of Li Xin and a few people over, and Li Xin pulled Yueting and walked over slowly
