Chapter 4: A First Taste of Wealth (2)

While speaking, the spoon had already led Gu Zheng's mother and daughter through the hall to the outside of the main room, Gu Zheng raised his eyes and looked in front of him, and saw that the five main rooms were all carved beams and paintings, magnificent; Looking around again, you can see that there are parrot thrushes, orioles and other birds hanging under the corridor on both sides, chirping, jumping up and down.

Gu Liniang, who came in after Gu Zheng, naturally looked straight, and just looked up at the palatial main rooms stupidly, and her feet couldn't move as if they had roots...... That stupid appearance made the few girls sitting on the bluestone steps in front of the door cover their mouths and laugh, obviously laughing at Gu Liniang's shallow eyelids and never seen the world.

When Spoon saw it, she immediately glared at the little girls in red and green dissatisfied, and the little girls smiled and stood up in a hurry, or opened the curtain for Gu Zheng's mother and daughter, or went into the inner room to spread the word......

Seeing this, Spoon raised her chin with satisfaction, coughed and reminded Gu Liniang to come back to her senses, and then politely invited Gu Zheng's mother and daughter into the house: "Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu, let's go into the house quickly!" ”

So Gu Liniang and Gu Zheng entered the house one after another, first turned around a multi-treasure pavilion, and then lifted a colorful glass bead curtain, before being introduced into a spacious and bright inner room, and blessed Mrs. Luo together.

Gu Zheng saw Mrs. Luo in the flower hall when she entered the mansion the first day, and she hadn't seen Mrs. Luo since then, and she was also the first time she came back to this main house. Therefore, Gu Zheng inevitably looked up at the house where Mrs. Luo lived with Gu Liniang, and saw that the people in the inner room were standing, sitting or lying, and there were more than a dozen people in a rough count.

The furnishings in the house are also very luxurious and gorgeousβ€”β€”β€” there is a sour branch inlaid marble double lion playing ball Arhat bed on the east side, and a small table of vermilion lacquer sour branch carving is placed in the middle, and a few half-old stone blue embroidered Ruyi dark pattern brocade cushions are laid on both sides of the small table, and a few red backrest pillows;

On the high platform behind put a small screen of sandalwood inlaid with round white marble, the left and right sides of the screen each placed a bottle of a ding, and then there was a pineapple wood carved lamp stand on the left and right outside, and the lamp stand was hung with an octagonal glazed palace lamp decorated with a big red tassel respectively, and several large ornaments were put together to show both magnificent, but also elegant and solemn.

After Gu Zheng looked at the furnishings on the side of the Luohan bed, he subconsciously looked into the depths to the right, and vaguely saw through the bead curtain a sour branch wood gilt hollowout, the inner screen window carved flowers and birds of the stepping bed in the inner room, the pulling step bed looked extremely luxurious from a distance, and at a glance it was worth a lot.

Gu Zheng didn't look at Mrs. Luo's bedroom all the time, so he turned his eyes back to the cabinet, and saw a big red folded flower carpet on the ground, a landscape painting hanging on the west wall, and a sandalwood long case under the painting, and two Taishi chairs were set up on each side of the desk, and the chairs were also covered with half-old stone blue embroidered Ruyi dark pattern chairs;

There is a pair of blood beech abductors in the corners of the dragon arch wall crocodile feet high flowers, one of which is placed with jade as the leaf and jade as the branch of the evergreen stone bonsai, and the other is placed with a seven-story pagoda carved from white jade.

This room full of furnishings is luxurious and precious, which dazzles Gu Zheng and can't help but sigh at the wealth of the Cen family, and also makes her really peek into the corner of the ancient wealthy familyβ€”β€”β€” these decorations in Mrs. Luo's house, you can exchange a large sum of silver for any one outside! If you take it to modern times, it is a priceless antique!

And this act of looking at the house was very ordinary, but as soon as it fell into Mrs. Luo's eyes, it made her eyebrows a little more disdainful, and she felt more and more that Gu Zheng's mother and daughter were villagers who had never seen much of the world......

I saw that Mrs. Luo snorted from her nose at the moment, and she didn't give Gu Zheng's mother and daughter a good look, she only asked a few words without being salty, and she didn't even let people bring in tea, and her dislike was not hidden at all.

Gu Zheng was keenly aware of Mrs. Luo's dislike for their mother and daughter, and quickly withdrew her gaze from looking at the room, and thought about saying goodbye in her heart.

On the other hand, Gu Liniang was still very aggressive, not only did she not notice Mrs. Luo's disgust, but she couldn't sit still after sitting for a while, I saw that she didn't say a word to anyone and ran directly to the flowers, lying on the edge of the 10,000-year-old bluestone bonsai with jade as leaves and jade as branches, touching it with her hands, arching her fingers and knocking, as if she didn't believe that the green leaves were all made of good jadeite, and she couldn't wait to break off the jade leaves and bite them with her teeth!

After Gu Liniang touched the 10,000-year-old bluestone bonsai on the flower table, she actually squatted down instead, and couldn't put it down to touch the big red folded flower carpet spread on the ground, and said with a regretful face while touching: "It's really a waste to use such a good felt to spread on the ground!" If you want me to say it's pretty much the same on the bed! Look how soft this felt is......"

Gu Liniang's words made Mrs. Luo's brows furrow tighter, and also made her eyes have a little more undisguised disdain and disgust, Gu Zheng knew that if she didn't stop it, Gu Liniang would definitely touch all the things in Mrs. Luo's house!

In addition, Gu Zheng didn't want to continue to stay to annoy people, so she decisively dragged Gu Liniang back to her side immediately, and took Gu Liniang to say goodbye to Mrs. Luo with a sense of humorβ€”β€”β€” no one was waiting to welcome them, they naturally just went through the motions, and they didn't have to really stay close and courteous.

Mrs. Luo would not keep anyone, and as soon as she saw Gu Zheng's mother and daughter say goodbye, she rewarded two gilt silver and pearl-inlaid hairpins, which were considered to be a meeting gift for Gu Zheng's mother and daughter.

After leaving the main house, Gu Liniang was still interested, and immediately shouted with great interest to visit the garden, Gu Zheng didn't want to follow her to continue to lose face, so she chose to listen to the spring courtyard alone......

The sky washed by the rain was blue, the green grass and green trees after the rain were even more vibrant, and the dewdrops that had not yet had time to fall shimmered with colorful light under the light of the morning sun, so that Gu Zheng couldn't help but slow down, while enjoying this rare tranquility and tranquility in the glow after the rain, enjoying the scenery of the backyard of Cen Mansion, and slowly pacing back to Tingquan Courtyard along the path full of flowers.

It's a pity that Gu Zheng walked along the cobblestone path for a short time, and his good mood was ruined by a slightly thin male voice: "Huh? Qingsong, where did that little girl come from? Master, how come I've never seen it before? Seeing that she doesn't look like a little maid in the house, she looks extremely delicate, which is far beyond the reach of several sisters in the house......"

Gu Zheng looked in the direction of the voice, and before he could find the person who spoke, he was hit with a small pebble on his head, and only after being smashed did he see a young man in green clothes, pretending to shake a paper fan in a chic manner, and slowly walked out from behind a rockery.

The young man looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, with a purple and gold crown inlaid on his head, wearing a stone blue colored eight-regiment satin tassel gown, and a small court boot with a blue satin foundation.

As soon as the young man appeared, he unceremoniously blocked Gu Zheng's way, and asked with his chin held high and an arrogant face, "You, what's your name?" ”

Spoon Er obviously recognized the young man who was blocking the way, but she didn't say a word, she only stepped forward to protect Gu Zheng behind her, although she didn't flatter, she didn't dare to be disrespectful to the young man, she only lowered her eyebrows and blocked in front of Gu Zheng.

Unexpectedly, when the young man saw the spoon's actions, he raised his foot and kicked the spoon without saying a word: "Bold and bold, dare to be so rude in front of this young master!" ”

The spoon covered the chest that was kicked and ached faintly, and replied without being arrogant or humble: "The slave maid has just entered the mansion on an errand, and I only know that there is only one seventh young master in our house, and I don't know this young master." ”

Unexpectedly, although the young man was angrily scolding the spoon, his eyes never took his eyes off Gu Zheng's face, and he suddenly pushed the spoon away, reached out and pinched Gu Zheng's chin without warning, and said in a flirtatious tone: "Good sister, your little face is really delicate!" ”

Gu Zheng didn't expect the young man to make such an abrupt move, and he didn't expect the young man to even make a teasing move on her as a ten-year-old girl, his brows subconsciously twisted together, and then Gu Zheng suddenly squatted down, avoiding the young man's salty pig hand, and quickly took out the hairpin that Mrs. Luo had rewarded from his cuffs, and poked it heavily at the young man's feet without saying a word!

Gu Zheng used a lot of strength to poke this time, and after poking her, she was even more agile to the side, and when she saw the young man bending down and holding his feet and crying out in pain, Gu Zheng immediately seized the opportunity and quickly fled the scene with a spoon.

The young man was grinning in pain right now, how could he still have the heart to chase Gu Zheng?

I saw that the young man slowed down in place for a while, and after beating the little guy next to him to breathe, he got up and limped in the direction of the main room, and only after a few steps did he see Chen's mother greet him from afar: "Young Master Cousin, it turns out that you are here!" Madame was still thinking about why she hadn't seen your figure yet, so she was in a hurry to ask the slave maid to come and take a look......"

The young man didn't want Chen's mother to know that he had been taught a lesson by a girl, so he only delayed some effort by accidentally breaking his foot, and did not mention the previous matter, and quickly pulled Chen's mother to inquire about the news: "Mother Chen, is there a guest temporarily staying in Cen Mansion?" I had seen a little girl of about ninety or ten years old at the other end of the garden, and she was dressed like she didn't look like a servant of the house, but I saw that she was very eye-catching, and I had never seen her before. ”

As soon as Mother Chen heard this, she knew that the young man was talking about Gu Zheng, and a little disdain immediately appeared on her face, and she replied disapprehantly: "It's just a wild girl!" After Chen's mother finished speaking, she saw that the young man was a little dissatisfied with her answer, so she could only reluctantly add: "That girl is a distinguished guest invited by our wife, and as for what her identity is, the slave maid doesn't know very well." ”

Hearing this, the young man tapped his palm with the handle of the fan with some unhappiness, and said with a calm face: "Honored guest? That's a bit of a problem, and I want to ask my aunt to get that little girl home. ”
