Xie's house is a little far from the dock, and it will always take an hour to leave. Because Mrs. Xie Si was also in the carriage, Xie Chiying was honest, and Jinghu had to be honest, and this hour made her sit still.

I knew that I was still in a carriage by myself, and I could still flirt with Doulu and Baolan, just to save face for Xie Chiying's mother and daughter, but in fact, it was not at this moment.

When he entered the gate of Xie's mansion, the carriage traveled for a while before it reached the second gate. Ke Mingxu wanted to go to the front yard to see the elders first, and Mr. Zhou also went over, so he didn't go with them at this time.

After seeing the Xie family's garden, I understood what a real Jiangnan garden is. As soon as you get off the bus, you can see the white walls and green tiles, covered by grass and trees, and you can see any place you look at, which is a rare beautiful picture.

Zhao walked to Jinghu's side and personally led her forward. "It shouldn't be the first time that the little county lord has gone to Jiangnan, right? It's not that I'm boasting, our family's garden doesn't dare to compare with the Xihe Garden of the Dingguo Mansion in Yanjing City, but it is also unique in Jiangnan. ”

"I have nothing to do in the past few days, so I often let Sister Ying and her sisters accompany the little county lord to have a good time."

She was polite to Jinghu, and Jinghu was also polite to her, "Although I only went to Jiangnan the year before last and lived in my grandfather's house for a while, my grandfather's house is just a small family, and it really can't be compared with here." ”

She hadn't visited anyone else's house, but even if there were local officials who invited her over to be a guest in front of her father, Jinghu also rejected them all.

He smiled and flattered Zhao, "Changji Garden in Hengguo Mansion is also like a fairyland on earth, and I have been fortunate to go there a few times." Before getting married, he lived in Changjiyuan, and now he lives here, and he really envies the third wife. ”

Changji Garden and Xihe Garden are equally famous gardens in Yanjing, and the Dingguo Mansion and the Hengguo Mansion are old rivals for several lifetimes, and they can match anything. However, perhaps because of the better relationship with Qingrou, Jinghu still thinks that Xihe Garden is more beautiful.

The Zhao family really treated her a little more kindly, "The little county lord is a nobleman, where can I envy me." Nowadays, most of the things in the family are in charge of the sister-in-law, because the third old lady of our family is about to celebrate his birthday, so he has been a little busy these days. ”

"The little county lord is a guest of the fourth room, and it turned out that the fourth brother and sister presided over the feed. She also just came back from Yanjing, and all the matters to entertain the little county lord were handled by the seventh brother and sister. ”

"If the little county lord feels that he is not used to living, or has something to order, just ask someone to find the seventh brother and sister. Or look for me, and I can still be a little master of many things at home. ”

A big family like this is generally always the long-term house that has the most right to speak. Although the best official back then was Ke Mingxu's grandfather, the third old lady, but there was no separation, and the rules still had to respect the long house.

Listening to Zhao's meaning, she should also be a person from the long house. I just don't know which family this "sister-in-law" has that can suppress these clever concubines.

It took about another stick of incense to reach the boundary of the third room. It doesn't look like it's any different from Fangcai's building, and after passing through the Moon Cave Gate, I feel that there is a cave.

There is a small lake in front of it, there is a promenade by the lake, and the other side of the promenade is planted with bamboo, in the middle of summer, the bamboo shadow is reflected on the railing against the lake through the beautifully carved wooden windows, which has a unique artistic conception.

After passing through the promenade by the lake, it is the house where Xie Chiying's parents live, with lush vegetation and lingering mountains and rivers, which makes people feel that the path is winding and secluded.

It stands to reason that Jinghu is a guest and should go to see the elders first.

It's just that the wife of the third old lady of the Xie family has long passed away, and she didn't renew the strings, Jinghu is the guest of the third room, the most respected female elder, but the fourth Mrs. Xie who has always been with her, so she doesn't pay attention to any hypocrisy, and everyone accompanies Jinghu to her house first.

The accommodation that Feng arranged for Jinghu was adjacent to her daughter Xie Jiashi Niangzi, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a tall acacia tree.

It was the flowering season, and a pink cloud floated quietly on the turquoise leaves, which made Jinghu fall in love with this yard at once.

On the contrary, the furnishings in the house are lackluster. This room is three rooms wide, and on the east side is the banquet room, and a round table is also set in the center, where Jinghu can eat.

There is a picture scroll of a beautiful woman hanging on the middle hall, which Jinghu does not recognize. However, with the background of the Xie family, I am afraid it is also a priceless antiquity.

There are a lot of porcelain on the Bogu shelf used to separate the central hall and the inner room, some of which Jinghu recognizes and some that Jinghu does not recognize, but they are just mediocre and nothing special.

Jinghu is accustomed to seeing wealth, and the furnishings of this room are neither rich nor elegant, but really a bit nondescript.

However, she only stayed for a few days, and she didn't plan to stay permanently, so she wasn't so picky, but just smiled and thanked her.

Feng Shi saw that Jinghu was not picky about anything, so he walked forward with a smile, "The fourth sister-in-law and Sister Ying are tired all the way back, so let's go back and settle down early." Set up a banquet in the Chunxi Pavilion at night to entertain the small county lord and Xu'er, and the guests of the small county must appreciate the light. ”

Jinghu smiled, "Then I am naturally a guest, but I have troubled Mrs. Seven." ”

Feng Shi seemed to have forgotten about choking her on the dock, "Since the little county lord calls the fourth sister-in-law 'Fourth Aunt', it is better not to be polite to me, let me take a big one, and call me 'Seventh Uncle' like Sister Ying." ”

"The ladies get along, they want to see each other every day, and they are more affectionate."

Jinghu smiled and said nothing, and turned to Mrs. Xie Si: "Fourth Aunt and Sister Ying, go and rest, you don't have to accompany me here." After dinner, we'll talk again. ”

Mrs. Xie Si rarely had the opportunity to say a word in front of the concubine, "Then the little county lord has a good rest, and we will go to the Chunxi Hall together in the evening." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Feng Shi said to the maid beside her: "Go quickly, Miss Ten, please come and talk to the little county lord, stay at home all day, but the more you stay, the lazier you become." ”

Jing Hu felt a little disdainful. She knew that Tan and Xie Chiying were a little tired, and persuaded them to go back to rest, why didn't she want to think about Jinghu being with them all the time, she was also tired and needed to rest.

It's really Sima Zhao's heart. That is, if she met a concubine like the Tan family, if she was replaced by the Zhao family, she would have been suppressed without a voice.

Sure enough, Zhao glanced at her unhappily, and then said, "The little county lord has come from afar, and it is time to rest at this time." After all, she wants to stay here for a few days, even if she wants Sister Rong to come over, she is not in a hurry for a while. ”

As soon as Zhao spoke, Feng no longer dared to say anything. After a few more pleasantries, everyone dispersed.
