The two men got out of the carriage, and immediately a servant at the door came. It should have been Jiang Ruyu who instructed him to wait here, and Duanmu Yuhua raised his head.

In front of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black gold silk nanmu plaque hanging on the top, and the two words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on it - Jiangfu. On either side of the door stand two majestic stone lions, and the roof is decorated with green glazed tiles and spine-kissed beasts.

Entering the door, there is a cobblestone paved road, there are two begonias in the north, and there are bamboo gardens in the south.

Walk forward two hundred meters through Langfang, a column-shaped Taihu Lake stone, carved at the top - Dule Peak, behind the stone is a bat-shaped small pool. Behind the pond is the main hall for hospitality, Myeongdodo.

Duanmu Yuhua thought that Jiang Ruyu should be about to see him here, and the maid at the door saw the two of them leaning over and saluting.

"County Lord, Childe."

Jiang Lanhe glanced inside, but there was no one.

"Where's my aunt?"

"The head of the family is waiting for the prince and the county lord in Xiangxuewu."

Jiang Lanhe nodded, and took her around to the back of Mingdao Hall. There is also a square pond here, a group of rockeries stacked into a niche shape behind the pool, and a blessing tablet in the middle.

On the rockery, there is a bowl-shaped open hall, the name invites the moon. On both sides of the hall, there are climbing corridors leading to the east and west wings - Yizhi Zhai.

"It's here."

Jiang Lanhe pointed to the hanging flower door in front of him, pushed open the door, and entered the inner courtyard.

Inside the gate is a courtyard with eight rooms in a row to the east and three huts to the west. To the north of the courtyard is the theater building, and to the south there are three rooms named Xiangxuewu, which are the places where Jiang Ruyu is going to entertain her.

After walking this long way, Jiang Lanhe was used to it, but Duanmu Xihua still had some light sweat on his forehead. Jiang Xiaogongzi walked inward and shouted excitedly.

"Auntie, I brought my cousin back."

"Bring your cousin here."

The woman's voice echoed Nana from the back of the house.

"Let's go, cousin, it's just ahead."

It turns out that there is a lake behind Xiangxuewu, although it is artificial. Each carving is not deliberate, but seems to be natural.

In the lake, there are green and fragrant lings, shaking and falling. There are knotweed flowers and reed leaves growing on the edge of the lake, which is ingenious, and it is even more beautiful than the purple and red state of the garden.

On the stone table, a variety of snacks and snacks were placed, and a woman in a purple dress stood aside and beckoned to them.

As he got closer, Duanmu Yuhua saw the person in front of him clearly. looks like Jiang Ruying, but the charm is very different.

She wore a cyan jade pendant around her waist, and it was engraved with Jiang. The black hair is like a cloud, and only a cyan ribbon is wrapped around the hair. There is some rouge on his face, and a thin layer of vermilion on his lips, which has a unique style.

The woman stood on the edge of the lake. She exudes a soft aura, which can be very infectious, making Duanmu Xihua feel that this world seems to be a little fresher and more beautiful. And her whole person seems to be about to merge with the surrounding scenery and become a person in the painting.

is different, Jiang Ruying and Jiang Ruyu.

One cold and one warm, one clear and one soft, one bright and one dignified.

The woman spoke, this was the first thing Jiang Ruyu said to her.

"Zhu Zhu'er, you really look like him, like carved out of a mold."

Who? Duanmu Yuhua knew that he was not like Xie Yunrong, nor was he like Duanmu Qinghe. But she couldn't refute the woman in front of her with a melancholy look, because she hadn't seen her mother for too long, so she had forgotten her mother's appearance.

Jiang Lanhe had already sat down by herself, poured a cup of milk tea and drank it, and then looked at the food on the table with bright eyes.

"Auntie, you've made so much delicious food."

Jiang Ruyu came back to her senses and glared at Jiang Xiaogongzi. Then he looked at the girl in red who was still standing in front of him, and gently pushed over a few plates of snacks.

"Zhuzhu'er sit down, I asked Ah He what you like to eat before, but he couldn't say. asked Ah Rong again, she was incompetent as a mother, and she couldn't reply to me. ”

"I can only guess how to do a little bit of everything, you can taste it, if there is anything you like."

Duanmu Xihua looked over, the thin rouge goose breast in the white porcelain plate, the snowflake cake covered with a layer of light powdered sugar, the dried fish covered with green leaves, and the golden brushed sugar crab...... coupled with the clever smile of the woman in front of her. Whoever marries such a woman will be a blessing.

She used a little of everything, thought about it, put down her chopsticks, and looked at the woman in front of her sincerely.

"Auntie's dim sum here has a different taste, I don't know how it's made."

Jiang Ruyu saw her happy to eat, and said busily.

"If Zhu Zhu'er likes it, I'll ask someone to copy the secret recipe for you. You can bring it back and ask your cook to make it. ”

"Whatever you want to eat in the future, just come to my aunt's place."

Jiang Ruyu's eyes looked at her even more lovingly, as if she had been abused a few years ago...... In fact, she just wants to bring some back, just give Qingye a taste, and the girl can make it.

For the first time, she was not very comfortable with such a fiery care from her elders, so she could only nod her head in thanks.

In the end, under Jiang Ruyu's expectant gaze, not only did Jiang Lanhe eat and drink enough, but she also ate and supported......

"Cousin, if only you came every day in the future. So that I can eat my aunt's cooking every day. ”

"Look at your little bit of talent."

Jiang Ruyu covered her lips and smiled, seeing that it was not early, and asked him to go out first to prepare the carriage. But Duanmu Xihua was left alone. She took out a rosewood lacquer box from her sleeve and pushed it towards Duanmu Xihua.

Duanmu Xihua opened it, and it was half a cyan jade pendant, which was engraved - Jiang. The jade pendant worn by Tong Jiang Ruyu's waist is a pair.

Jiang Ruyu looked at her gently.

"This is the token of the Jiang family's power, a jade pendant made of two pieces of Kunlun jade. The admirers are in charge of a part of the Jiang family's power, such as the transportation of Beixiang, outside my lord. Originally, the other piece should have been handed over to Ah He to teach him how to make a living in the Jiang family's shop, the dealings of the royal nobles, and the affairs of the clan. ”

But Ah He is simple-hearted and has always been reluctant to dabble in these. So I will divide this jade pendant in two and give it to you. ”

"Zhu Zhu'er, if you have anything you want to do, just do it boldly in Beixiang. My aunt is still here, and the Jiang family is also standing behind you. ”

"Auntie."

Duanmu Yuhua was silent. In this world, except for blood relatives, there will really be other people who treat themselves well for no reason. is even willing to show a sincere heart, regardless of gains and losses, and does not hesitate to gamble on his net worth to protect himself.
