017 First time in the Liao family
Chapter 17 first entered the Liao family
Zuo Liang, Liao Yong and He Xuan said goodbye to Jin Se and Aunt Jiao, and walked along the street in the opposite direction and chatted for a long time before they came to the street where the "Xiantingju" was located.
Although He Xuan had heard of the Liao family's wealth, she did not often go to the city, and second, when the master was alive, she rarely mentioned these mundane things. Therefore, He Xuan, who is used to living an ordinary life, has always just thought that the so-called "idle garden" is just a few courtyards of high-ranking families, which is more magnificent than the usual rich and noble families.
However, when she came to the intersection, she was really shocked by the grandeur of this mansion.
From afar, I saw that the entire idyllif, as far as the wall could see, took up most of the street. By the vermilion gate, eight neatly dressed nurses lined up with swallow wings.
In front of the vermilion lacquer gate, the high white marble threshold, a pair of exquisite carving huge white marble doors stand left and right; A pair of stone carvings on the lintel are also very eye-catching. Not to mention the lintel and other five-color paintings that are extremely ingenious and delicate everywhere. One male and one female, two flower gang rock pixiu stand left and right, with their mouths open and their necks raised, their four claws strong and powerful, and their demeanor is domineering......
Just when He Xuan was quietly looking at the door of Liao's house, which looked domineering, a sharp-eyed family saw Liao Yong and his group of three. This Ding smiled and trotted all the way to Liao Yong's approach, first gave the three of them a deep look, and after asking for peace, he said, "Young master, you are back." The small one is to Young Master Zuo, and Young Master He greets him. ”
Hearing this, He Xuan was a little surprised, she asked Zuo Liang next to her in a low voice, and said, "You didn't speak, and I didn't speak, how did this little guy know that my surname was He?" ”
Zuo Liang smiled and said, "You are the first to come before you appear on the scene." This 'idle house' has been up and down, since we came back yesterday evening, and it has not taken half an hour, and no one knows that their master is going to invite a young master surnamed He to go home and stay for a while today. And, by noon, your belongings and horses had arrived. Just now I and his horse have already sent someone back first, so ......"
"So, the person who can walk with you must be surnamed He!" He Xuan continued.
"Brother Xian is really smart." Liao Yong said with a smile.
"That's all I have to say, and if you don't understand it, you'll be a fool. Where are you praising people, you are obviously scolding. Zuo Liang said with a smile.
"You person, I'm just a kind word, who asked you to explain so clearly!" Liao Yong glanced at Zuo Liang
"Okay, well, it's my best practice." Zuo Liang smiled and said.
The little guy led the way in front, and the three of them laughed and walked into the gate, and the family at the door also saluted.
When passing by the vestibule, Liao Yong did not invite He Xuan to sit here, but walked through the main hall and went directly to the backyard.
The back house of this courtyard is not like an ordinary courtyard, the dwelling garden is very clearly divided, but like a large garden, the stars fall, scattering several houses around the central lake.
Zuo Liang and Liao Yong led He Xuan to a relatively secluded place, outside of this small courtyard, there were already a few neat and neat little guys waiting here.
He Xuan looked at this small courtyard, surrounded by green bamboos everywhere; A stream of water, passing through the middle of the courtyard, quietly and agilely; Outside the rows of houses, the vermilion lacquer corridor walks according to the trend, and there are also colorful paintings under the eaves. The windows of the room are thinly inlaid with pale emerald curtains......
"Brother Xian, do you think it's okay here?" Liao Yong asked with a smile.
"This house has a bit of fairy wind bones. I don't know what it is? He Xuan said with a smile.
"Looking at the way he looks, I also know that I like it. Why bother? Zuo Liang said, "Don't ask what it is, go in and have a look." ”
As he spoke, a servant who followed from the gate of the courtyard walked in front and pushed open the door of the house, and respectfully invited the three of them into the main house. He Xuan saw at a glance that his belongings were neatly placed on the table.
"Isn't this room for the underprivileges?" He Xuan asked with some hesitation.
"Naturally, it's for you." Liao Yong found a comfortable position and sat down, and then said with a smile, "Are you satisfied?" I thought about this house, that is, you can still live in it, and it will be a waste for Zuo Liang. ”
"Spoil me, won't you use it?" Zuo Liang snatched a sentence.
"No, no, no. Where can I use such a large yard, one room is enough. This is also too extravagant. He Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said.
"If you come, you will be safe. You know what to say, right? Zuo Liang asked.
"The guest is as he pleases. You should know this sentence too, right? Liao Yong asked.
"Those two, the so-called merit is not punished, the two of them should also know. In the lower district, where is the grass people worthy of such importance from the two sons. He Xuan said.
"Whether it's worth it or not, that's up to me." Liao Yong said, "Since you live with me, no matter how I arrange it, you can just live with peace of mind." This courtyard was originally a collection of books, and it was almost the same as a study, and my father wanted to make progress under him, but unfortunately I was not a person on this road, but let these books lie here for a long time in vain. It is also a blessing for them to be able to read them with sincerity and sincerity. Ziqing and I have some other things, so I won't accompany them for now. Your horse is in the backyard, and if you want to walk around, you can call any little guy to accompany you. But ......"
"But what?" He Xuan asked.
I saw Liao Yong smile slyly and said: "Although my family still has some money, my father is still strict with his subordinates, especially in weathering, and he will never relax." I don't have any female dependents in my family now, so there are no maids and servants, I don't know, it's inconvenient? ”
Hearing this, He Xuan smiled and said, "It's all men, isn't it more convenient." ”
Zuo Liang looked at Liao Yong, frowned and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Liao Yong ignored him either, just smiled and walked away. Zuo Liang also hugged He Xuan and left the courtyard where He Xuan lived.
After they left, the guy who had pushed the door for them walked in.
"Gongzi He, I am the little maid that the young master gave you to take with you. They all call me Little Bean. ”
He Xuan sat down and looked at the little boy standing in front of him with a smile on her face.
It seemed that the child was about fourteen or fifteen years old, white and pure, very energetic, not tall, but his eyes were clever.
"Little beans? Who gave you the name? He Xuan asked with a smile.
This little bean poured tea for He Xuan and said, "It's the young master." He picked me up in a basket of beans, so he casually called me Little Bean. ”
"Picked up?"
"Yes. The young master said, it seems that there was some natural disaster that year, and I should have fled with my parents! But I don't know if I can't raise it anymore, or if my parents are separated. Anyway, when I met the young master, I was lying alone in the bean basket. ”
He Xuan looked at the child, sighed and said, "It's also a poor child." can do such a good deed, it seems that his heart is not bad. ”
Xiaodouzi listened to He Xuan's emotion, and asked cautiously: "The 'person' you said is our young master, right?" ”
He Xuan nodded.
Xiaodouzi smiled brightly, and then said: "The young master is not bad, although he likes to make us happy, but as long as he doesn't really do anything wrong, he won't scold him casually." ”
Hearing this, He Xuan smiled and said, "You little guy, you are clever. Praise your young master so soon. Well...... Are you literate? ”
Xiaodouzi shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm a subordinate......"
"It doesn't matter. Later, I will teach you. Be a little servant for me, it's not okay to be illiterate. ”
"Really? He Gongzi, do you want to teach me to read? Hearing this, Xiaodouzi's eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at He Xuan with a smile.
"Of course it's true. Let's start with tomorrow. ”
"No, no, no." Hearing this, Xiaodouzi hurriedly waved his hand.
"Why not?"
"The young master said, you are about to take the big exam. You must be quiet when you serve, and you won't let us bother you. ”
He Xuan smiled and said, "What should I do?" It's okay. I said yes, your young master won't say no. Let's go, take me around first. ”
Xiaodouzi nodded, took He Xuan's hand and ran out.
The whole back house, except for the place outside the garden for the people who do rough work, has a total of four yards. This place of He Xuan is located in the center of the residence where Zuo Liang and Liao Yong are hospitalized. The other place is now temporarily vacant, and Xiaodouzi told He Xuan that that place is the residence of Master Liao.
The courtyards are built around the lake, which is particularly elegant.
He Xuan chatted and watched and walked with Xiaodouzi, although he didn't think it took long, but gradually it got dark. As soon as the two of them returned to the gate of the courtyard where He Xuan lived, they saw an elderly family member in their twenties standing at the door.
"Little Bean, where did you take Gongzi He to go shopping?"
As soon as he heard this, Xiaodouzi stuck out his tongue and stood aside with his head down.
"Don't blame him. I asked him to walk around with me. Haven't asked yet? He Xuan asked.
The family hurriedly flashed to the side, and said with a smile on their faces: "Gongzi He, you can kill the villain." The villain is the housekeeper here, surnamed Bi. The young master has already passed the meal over there, waiting for He Gongzi to come over. ”
"Oh, I see. There's a housekeeper for that. ”
As he spoke, the housekeeper Bi walked in front and led the way for He Xuan, and Xiaodouzi also followed behind, and walked towards the courtyard where Liao Yong lived.
As soon as he entered the house, He Xuan smiled and said, "I'm guilty." but they look at the garden, but they forget the hour. ”
Hearing He Xuan say this, Liao Yong's expression, which was still a little gloomy just now, also relaxed, and said with a smile: "This garden, is it okay for the virtuous brother to look at it?" ”
"Every step of the way is different. Nature is good. ”
"It's just spring, and in a few days, there will be a better scenery for the virtuous brother to enjoy."
He Xuan looked at Liao Yong puzzled, but laughed out loud when he heard Zuo Liang's "poof".
At this time, Liao Yong took a bite of food unhurriedly and said, "In summer, you can see it." ”
