Chapter 182: Zhu Lun's Journey (Second Watch)
Yu Jiao spit out a mouthful of turbidity in her chest, and pulled the corners of her lips slightly, the city gate of Qingzhou Mansion is made of high bricks, more than two meters high, after all, it is the provincial capital, and the kind of small place in Changkui County that puts antler wood as a city gate cannot be compared.
Soon lined up to the carriage of the Mu family, Mu Yan opened the curtain in front of him, and the city guard seemed to recognize him, so he only routinely opened the curtains of a few carriages and looked at them casually, and let them go.
Entering the city is a wide stone road, the streets and alleys are full of people, the wine shops and workshops are noisy, the sound is in the ears, and the excitement is extraordinary.
Green tiles and red walls, flying eaves and flags floating, and Zhu Lun walks the car.
Yu Fuling stretched out her head and looked out with great interest, but she also felt new to the pedestrians on the road, she said, "I always felt that Qingzhou was very far away, and I thought that I would never be able to reach the state capital in my life, and I didn't want to sleep hard, so I was in Qingzhou City." ”
Yu Jiao smiled in a trance, the places she had never been to always sounded far away.
In fact, there is no place in the world that cannot be reached, only people and things that can never be seen again.
The three carriages prepared by the Mu family are all good horses, and they are also used to the journey to Qingzhou, and they have never stopped and delayed along the way, and they can't feel tired for more than half a day.
The carriage drove into Shuying Lane in the east of the city, and the people living in Shuying Lane were all famous families, and the neighbors were all people who had been officials.
The Qingzhou Mu family lived here, and the accompanying servants went to buckle the door early, and the second master of the Mu family arrived, and the black bronze door slowly opened.
The carriage entered the door, bypassed the shadow wall of the Girdle of Sumeru, and stopped in the front yard.
The coachman said outside, "Young Master Yu, young ladies, let's enter the mansion." ”
Yu Qi lifted the curtain, got out of the carriage first, turned around and handed out a hand to Yu Jiao, Yu Jiao and Yu Poria held his hand and also got out of the carriage.
Mu Yan was talking to a woman in a royal blue twig gown, when she saw Yu Jiao get out of the carriage, led the woman closer, and said with a smile, "This girl is the female doctor who cured my disease." ”
The woman glanced at Yu Jiao, gently took her hand and said, "Good boy can look forward to you, I heard the second master mention you earlier, I wanted to see you, and now that I have come to the house, I just think this is my own home." ”
Yu Jiao couldn't feel the identity of the woman, and Mu Yan on the side said in a timely manner, "This is my wife." ”
Yu Jiao smiled lightly and said, "Mrs. is polite." ”
The woman took Yu Jiao's hand, glanced at Yu Lingling and Yu Qiyu beside her kindly, and said with a smile, "Don't stand still, let's go to the front hall and sit down and talk." ”
The group walked towards the front hall, Yu Jinshu followed behind Mu Nianjiu, and when he saw that the Mu family's mansion was so magnificent, he looked around curiously, and asked in a low voice, "Nianjiu, what kind of official did your uncle and grandfather do?" So rich! ”
Mu Nianjiu was a little restrained since he entered the mansion, listening to Yu Jinshu's blatant inquiry, he glanced ahead, and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, "My uncle is an official position from the fourth rank in Beijing, and the third uncle is the sixth rank of the Qingzhou Mansion. ”
When Yu Jinshu heard this, he couldn't help but smack his tongue, in the past, he only vaguely heard that there were people in the Mu family's Qingzhou family who were officials, but he didn't want to be a member of the four products in Beijing, this Mu family was really a famous family.
Yu Jinshu couldn't help but be complacent, if he hadn't been friends with Mu Nianjiu, how could he have the opportunity to live in such a person's house and have a relationship with the official eunuch's family.
He wanted to hear more, but Mu Nianjiu didn't dare to say more, his grandfather's branch had become more and more down, and the difference between heaven and earth with Qingzhou's uncle over the years was no longer close.
It's just that the second uncle Mu Yan often goes back to Changkui to visit them, and he has the heart to hold them by the side.
When he came, his grandfather told him not to be presumptuous in his family, but to be cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to displease his family.
When they arrived at the front hall, the subordinates came up with tea, Mu Yan beckoned a few people to sit down, and said, "I asked the subordinates to clean up a courtyard, which will not be disturbed by anyone, Wulang and your brothers can live and prepare for the exam with peace of mind." ”
Yu Qiyu thanked him in a steady and gentle voice.
"How did you arrange Meng Yatou's residence?" Mu Yan asked Second Lady Mu.
Second Mrs. Mu said with a smile, "I let the wing room in Sister Rong's courtyard be cleaned up, and the concubine thought that Sister Rong was the same age as Doctor Meng, and the girl's family lived together more familiarly, so she made the decision to place Miss Meng's sister in Sister Rong's courtyard." ”
Mu Yan bowed his head and said to Yu Jiao, "Sister Rong is my daughter, you live together, and you have a playmate." ”
Yu Jiao responded with a smile, and the guests were as they pleased, just listening to the arrangements of the Mu family.
"Along the way, I think I'm a little tired, I'll let people take you to settle first." Mu Yan called his subordinates in and led Yu Qiyu and them to their residences to settle down.
Second Mrs. Mu personally led Yu Jiao and Yu Poria to the backyard, and the maids cleverly went to get the medical box in Yu Jiao's hand and the burden that Yu Poria was carrying.
Yu Fuling looked uncomfortable, seeing that the clothes worn by the maids were like the young ladies in Changkui County, she didn't know how to place her hands and feet for a while, dragging the small baggage, and said crampedly, "I'll take it myself." ”
The maid of the Mu family was very educated, and she didn't show any uncomfortable expressions when she saw this.
Second Mrs. Mu looked at Yu Jiao, and saw that although she was young, she had never shown timidity since she entered the mansion, and she was much more relaxed than another older girl, and she couldn't help but like it more and more.
She said kindly, "Sister Rong went to her grandfather's house, and she will turn around tomorrow, and when the time comes, let her accompany you two sisters to go outside." ”
Passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, to the west of the Luofu Courtyard, the maid in the courtyard stepped forward to salute, and Mrs. Mu said, "This is Miss Yu and her sister, you serve carefully, you need to be like Sister Rong, if there is something unsatisfactory, let me know, and never spare it." ”
Several maids responded respectfully, quietly looking at Yu Jiao and Yu Ling.
Second Mrs. Mu led Yu Jiao to the side room prepared for them, and said with a smile, "On the left is Sister Rong's house, if there is anything missing in your room, just tell the maids, treat it as your own home, don't be restricted." ”
"Let the second wife bother." Yu Jiao said politely.
Second Mrs. Mu saw that she was well-behaved and generous, she didn't look like a little girl from the countryside, no wonder she could take a good look at her master's stubborn illness, and she also moved her mind and brought her from Qingzhou to Mrs. Yang for treatment.
She smiled kindly, "Originally, I thought that you would come to set the table and have a lively banquet, but the lord said that your brothers need to prepare for the exam, so it is not easy to disturb, and I am worried that you will not have fun eating with the living, so I arranged for a small kitchen to send the food to your respective courtyards. ”
Yu Lingling was on the side, very restrained, she had never dealt with the wife of a large family, and the identity of the second lady Mu was very noble in her opinion, not a mother-in-law in the countryside, her tongue was stiff, and she couldn't even say the scene.
