Chapter 265: Lianjia
The one who came to open the door was Xiao Si in an indigo blue dress, his eyes swept over Cheng Yuru's master and servant, and a trace of doubt flashed on his face, "Miss, is there something wrong?" Linglong took a step forward and replied: "My young lady is Cheng Yuru, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family in Minzhou, please let me know."
I saw that the woman in front of me was wearing a water blue gauze skirt, the cuffs and placket were embroidered with delicate patterns with gold wire, and a glass bead hairpin was worn in the bun on her head. Xiao Si only flashed a word in his mind, as if he realized something.
His face changed instantly, and he said to Cheng Yuru in a solemn tone: "Miss wait here for a while, and the little one will go and report it."
Not long after, there was a commotion from inside the gate of Lian's house. Cheng Yuru was looking up, and a gray figure walked around surrounded by a large number of people. Cheng Yuru's eyes turned red in an instant, and she was worried that she would lose her honor in front of the old man, so she couldn't hold back her tears.
"But Yuru?" Even Xu Xiong's voice trembled slightly, and the expression on his face when he walked in front of Cheng Yuru was sad and happy. Cheng Yuru's appearance was similar to that of her mother, and even Xu looked at her, only to feel that his deceased daughter appeared in front of him again.
"Grandpa......" The memories of her previous life flashed through her mind frame by frame, and she replied with tears in her eyes: "It's Ru'er......" After saying that, she let her body rush forward and hugged the old man who lost her daughter tightly.
The grandfather and grandson complained fiercely at the gate of the Lian Mansion before entering the Lian Mansion together. Different from the Jiangnan style of Chengfu, the decoration pattern of Lianjia is the most authentic courtyard house in Beijing, and the decoration is also according to the calm atmosphere.
Passing through a path that connects to the gate, there is a separate courtyard. Under the eaves outside the courtyard hangs a plaque with the book "Heavenly Dao". Lian Xu was obsessed with Taoism when he was young, and he believed in the Taoist Taoist doctrine of nature throughout his life, and after he succeeded as the head of the family, he directly changed the name of the main courtyard to Tiandaoyuan, and the word Tiandao was taken from "human law earth, earth law heaven, heaven law Tao." ”
After entering the main hall, the servants prepared tea, and even Xu Cai asked, "Is your grandmother okay?" At the mention of her grandmother, Cheng Yuru came back to her senses from the depressed mood of seeing Lian Xu. She smiled faintly, and then bowed down, "Grandmother is fine in Minzhou, and Yuru has thanked her grandfather for her grandmother." ”
Lian Xu nodded when he listened, and thought of Cheng Yuru's sudden arrival in the capital this time, his eyes moved, and finally asked, "Do you have a plan in mind for what you want to do this time?" He has lived most of his life, has seen all kinds of people, and has already cultivated the ability to recognize people.
Cheng Yuru has a good face and an extraordinary temperament. Lian Xu knocked his fingers on the tea table rhythmically, and refused to believe that she had no purpose in entering Beijing this time. It's just that Jingcheng is different from Minzhou, this is the place with the most power in the world, and many forces compete with each other, if you take a wrong step, then only endless darkness and abyss will greet that person.
The capital is a paradise of desires and a hell of rights.
"Seeing that the imperial examination is about to start, the third brother in the family is ready to give it a try," Cheng Yuru replied with low eyebrows: "It just so happens that the shops in Minzhou are on the right track, and Yuru thinks that there are still a few shops in the capital that have been making profits and losses in recent years, so she wants to come and see it in person." The third brother is alone, and he will not be without a family. ”
"Cheng An......" Lian Xu muttered this name in his mouth, and the next moment he straightened his back suddenly, and his eyes instantly tightened, "He actually entered Beijing?!"
Cheng Yuru was taken aback by Lian Xu's attitude, she showed a little surprise on her face, and said, "Grandfather knows the third brother?" On both sides of the main hall, there were waiting subordinates, and they swept their eyes to the bodies of several subordinates, and took a sip of tea before instructing the subordinates: "There is no need for you to serve here, just go down."
The huge main hall quickly emptied, and Lian Xu took the lead in cooling his face despite Cheng Yuru's surprised look. He was no longer sitting as idle as just now, but straightened up, "Did your grandmother tell you about Cheng An's background?"
As soon as Cheng An was mentioned just now, Lian Xu's attitude changed instantly, and at this time, he removed a group of subordinates...... Cheng Yuru looked at it, seeing that Lian Xu's attitude should be clear about Cheng An's life experience, but how much did he know about the things back then?
"Ancestral ......"
"Big brother is in a good mood today! How can you have time to ......" A man of about fifty suddenly appeared at the door of the main hall, and after seeing that there was not only one person inside, his voice lowered directly, "Come to the front hall?"
The subordinate guarding the door saluted the man and called, "Second master."
The man quickly cleaned up the stunned expression on his face, he walked in front of Lian Xu, gave Cheng Yuru a look, and asked, "Big brother, who is this girl?"
Cheng Yuru didn't expect to see Lian Qin today, Lian Qin is the son of Uncle Lian Xu, and in addition to the head of the family, there are two other people in charge of the Lian family, and Lian Qin is one of them.
"This is Lian Ruo's daughter." After Lian Xu finished speaking, he introduced to Cheng Yuru: "Yuru, this is your second uncle."
Cheng Yuru respectfully blessed Lian Qin and shouted, "Second uncle." In her previous life, she had no memory of Lian Qin, and after Lian Xu's death, the younger generation of Lian Jia's descendants had no second person who could be an adult except for Lian Sheng, who had died, and the head of the family changed to Lian Qin.
A kind smile appeared on Lian Qin's face, "Have you had lunch?" Since you are here, you will accompany your grandfather. After that, Lian Xu shouted to his subordinates: "Miss Biao is here, hurry up and let the kitchen prepare and call the Yueya family!"
After instructing his subordinates, Lian Qin sat down in another position on the main seat, he stretched out his hand and beckoned Lian Xu to Cheng Yuru, "Big brother, Yuru girl, sit down quickly." Later, when the Yuetou family comes, let's get together as a family. ”
Cheng Yuru quietly glanced at Lian Xu with an indifferent expression, and then saw Lian Qin is smile again. The current head of the Lian family is still Lian Xu good, but she saw that from the moment Lian Qin entered the door, Lian Xu, as the head of the family, didn't say anything, but Lian Qin arranged the entire Lian family up and down!
Who is in charge and who is in charge now?
When Lian Yue's family came over, it was just noon, and after saluting the two elders of Lian Xu and Lianqin in turn, Lian Yue directly held Cheng Yuru's hand intimately, and said with a smile: "I look at the natural beauty of this girl, you must be Yuru's sister, right?" ’
When Lian Yue came, he already knew the reason for calling her back to Lian's house from the little girl who reported it, and there was only Cheng Yuru, a young girl in the main hall, so she could see who she was at a glance.
'Cousin,' Cheng Yuru saluted Lian Yue first, and then to the young man who followed Lian Yue, and said, "Cousin-in-law." ’
'Cousin Yuru. He nodded slightly and returned the salute to Cheng Yuru.
Several people met, and entered the dining room under the greeting of Lian Qin.
