Chapter 370: Meeting the Ladies
(Siku Shu)
The other courtyard was already across the street from the mansion of Wu Zhi's family, and after Master Li agreed, Wu Zhi directly invited the second daughter into the carriage, turned a corner, and arrived at the door of Wu Zhi's house. γStarterγ
It was still early at noon, and Ling'er and Master Li planned to prepare first and then go to Wu Zhi's house, at least they had to prepare gifts to not be rude.
But Wu Zhi didn't make them much trouble, the three ladies in the family didn't care about these at all, not to mention that it was extremely difficult for them to come to Qingzhou all the way, Wu Zhi's house in Qingzhou was their home, how could they go home and see so much?
Even according to etiquette, the three ladies of Wuzhi's family should prepare a meeting gift for Ling'er, the future little sister.
When she got off the carriage, Master Li still put on a veil, after all, she came to Qingzhou without telling everyone in the world, so she naturally had to be careful and careful, so as not to expose her identity.
After Li Yan carefully escorted Ling'er into Wuzhi's mansion, he left two maids to follow Ling'er and Master Li, and waited alone by the carriage outside.
Wu Zhi politely invited him to come into the mansion to rest, but was rejected by Li Yanwan.
He said, "The master is a guest, and the old slave can only wait outside, how dare he be a guest like the master?" β
This humble tone, this conscientious attitude, this touching professionalism...... It's really unthinkable that he is one of the famous six thieves, the great eunuch Li Yan, who oppressed the people and acted in front of the people to the point of almost cruelty!
However, Wu Zhi knew that the reason why Li Yan was like this was because Ling'er was there.
The emperor's family is his master, and once the master is gone, then he will show his greedy and vicious side, and he will never be so kind.
This has always been the case with powerful eunuchs.
Wu Zhi also secretly sighed in his heart, the most unpredictable thing is the human heart, and the most complicated thing is the human heart. In all fairness, even if he becomes the emperor, he will like Li Yan as a servant who can serve people and understand the proportions, not to mention whether he will believe that he is everywhere to fish and flesh the people, I am afraid that even if he knows a little rumor, he will turn a blind eye to it!
No one is a fool, the emperor must know some of Li Yan's actions, and it is precisely because of the emperor's connivance that Li Yan dares to become more and more arrogant in accumulating wealth.
At the same time, the more money he accumulates, the more carefully he will serve the royal people, which is the basis of his power.
β¦β¦β¦
After entering Wu Zhi's house, Ling'er and Master Li looked around curiously, although Wu Zhi's house was luxurious, what was their identity, and what had they never seen in the world? The reason why I am extremely curious about Takeshi's house is because this is Takeshi's house, nothing more.
"Tsk! What a vulgar mansion! β
From the moment they entered the gate of Wu Zhi's house, Ling'er and Master Li were nervous, and seeing that they were about to pass through the front hall, Ling'er half-jokingly commented on the decoration of Wu Zhi's house, which could be regarded as relaxing.
Wu Zhi, who was leading the way in front, touched his nose, he deliberately spent a lot of money to renovate the front yard after buying this mansion! Carved beams and paintings, pink and white walls and glazed tiles, the pillars of the corridor, and the door frames are painted with glittering local tyrant gold colors, which is magnificent and luxurious, and what you want is this kind of vulgarity of nouveau riche!
This is not to blame Wu Zhi, he just crossed over here, and his cultural level is not high, isn't he an authentic nouveau riche!
And Wu Zhi has also read a lot of sage books now, the decoration style of the luxurious local tyrant in the front hall is not only a little unpleasant to him, but the three ladies have also suggested that he change the decoration style, but Wu Zhi is afraid that the decoration will disturb the three pregnant ladies, so he has not paid attention to these.
Now that he is actually despised by Ling'er, looking at Master Li's appearance that seems to be smiling but not smiling, I think I also secretly feel that Wu Zhi has a good taste!
"That is, your father is the most elegant person in the whole Song Dynasty, and the people of the Song Dynasty are struggling to pay for your father's taste!" Secretly arranged Ling'er in his heart, Wu Zhihe smiled: "The style of the backyard is much more elegant, and the garden is full of all kinds of flowers and plants taken care of by your three sisters, and when it comes to spring, it is fragrant!" β
Wu Zhi's house occupies a huge area, and the houses are also lined up, countless, divided into front yard and back yard, the houses are concentrated in the front yard, mainly Wu Zhi's study and living room, as well as several guest rooms, guards and people's housing, as well as firewood rooms, tent rooms, horse rooms, laundry rooms and other functional rooms.
And the backyard is mainly where Wu Zhi and his mother's children live, connected to the garden, the front is the inner hall, next to the inner hall is the kitchen, after bypassing these two houses, it is the room of Wu Zhi and the ladies and maids in the inner courtyard.
Sure enough, after entering the inner courtyard, Ling'er and Master Li's eyes were bright, the inner courtyard was simple and elegant, not at all as luxurious and vulgar as the front yard, and everywhere was clean and spotless, the air was filled with a very light, but distinctly refreshing fragrance, as soon as you stepped into the backyard, it immediately made people feel warm, comfortable and safe.
It's like...... Nests are the same.
Wu Zhi looked at Ling'er and Master Li proudly, and said in his heart that the three ladies had finally won back some face for themselves.
Jin Lian Xue'er and Sanniang were already waiting in the inner hall, and Wu Zhi was just about to lead Ling'er and Master Li into the inner hall, but Ling'er hesitated at the door.
"Xingxing, are they fierce? I heard people outside that Hu Sanniang is a heroine among women, and she is very good at martial arts... Will she ......" Ling'er nodded her fingers and actually had stage fright.
Wu Zhi couldn't help laughing, he took Ling'er's little hand, and encouraged: "Don't worry, your three sisters are all gentle women who are knowledgeable and courteous, even if Sanniang is good at martial arts, what can she do to you?" Don't be afraid, I'm right there for you. β
"Yes, Ling'er, what are you afraid of?" Master Li also smiled and encouraged on the side.
Ling'er is mainly inexperienced, but she is not as generous as Master Li.
"Hmm!"
Ling'er took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to step through the doorway.
The ancient mansion pays attention to regulations, even the inner hall has two thresholds, in fact, Jin Lian and the others have vaguely heard Wu Zhi's voice outside the door, but due to etiquette, they can only stand side by side in the inner hall and wait for Wu Zhi Ling'er and Master Li to come in.
The third daughter, Jin Lian, stood in the middle, with Xue'er on the left and Sanniang on the right. They are all dressed in brocade dresses, with cloudy sideburns on their heads, and their hair buns are rarely decorated with various gorgeous jewelry, and they are also forked with hostas that they are usually reluctant to wear, which is a gift from Wu Zhi when they were in Yanggu County.
The three girls were not only dressed in costumes, but also clasped their hands together in front of their lower abdomen in accordance with strict etiquette, standing motionless in the living room and waiting, Xiao Taoyue and the three maids also stood behind them with four babies in their arms, how grand and grand this posture was.
In fact, this is because they are too deeply affected by feudal etiquette, usually they have no taboos around Wu Zhi, but at this time it is Her Royal Highness the princess who has to be greeted, for feudal women, the existence of princesses and queens is like the emperor in the hearts of men.
Compare with the grandeur of the commoners when they greeted the emperor's royal car, and look at the three daughters again, it is not strange.
Jin Lian lowered her head slightly, Xue'er's eyes kept rolling, and Sanniang kept staring at the door, obviously, the third girl was more nervous than Ling'er.
"Ladies! Ling'er and the teacher girl are here! β
Wu Zhi didn't care what his identity was, he directly pulled Ling'er, who was hiding behind him like a kitten, and stepped into the inner hall with Master Li.
"Ling'er, come out!" Wu Zhi saw Ling'er cowering and hiding behind him, so he pulled her in front of the ladies and introduced: "This little girl's skin is the Seventh Princess Ling'er......" Wu Zhi's tone was frivolous, also to relieve their tension.
As soon as he entered, Wu Zhi also noticed the nervous expressions of the three ladies.
