Chapter 10: A Dream (2)
Su Jiu came back to his senses and smiled coquettishly, "Mother Liu just said that the old lady, eldest master and second master of the Xiao family are all officials outside, and the third master is responsible for running the Xiao family's business, and the old lady will take care of all the affairs inside the Xiao family." ”
She had a pair of wet deer eyes, and her apple face was round and sweet.
looks very simple and honest, as if the person who has just wandered into the world is not her.
Mother Liu secretly said that she was dazzled, and continued: "The son is from the second room, although he is only fifteen years old, he is already the first place in the autumn boudoir township test in ten counties of Songzhou last year, and the gold is very expensive. You only serve our son, and the rest of the young ladies are young and missed, and you can't remember what I told you now, and you'll know when you get in touch with it later. But—"
She changed her words and stopped in front of a very large and luxurious mansion.
"However, the young lady in the house is not the most important, in this Wuyi Alley, there are only two sons who can't be offended, one is our family's Xie Yuan son, and the other is the Xie Xiaozi of this Xie Mansion!"
Hearing this, Su Jiu looked curiously at the splendid mansion.
This mansion is built very gorgeously, the plaque is written with thick gold dust with the word "Xie Fu", and even the pillars in front of the door are covered with gold.
Such a degree of extravagance is incompatible with the bookish and ink atmosphere of the entire Wuyi Alley, and it is difficult for people not to pay attention to it.
"Everyone knows that the Xie family is the richest man in Jiangnan, but they don't know that this copper smell has stained the good Wuyi Alley! But this Xie family has no idea, they only know how to eat, drink and have fun every day, and they don't know what to read, which is really a joke! ”
Mother Liu naturally shared the same hatred with the master's family, and was very indignant, "You remember, the people of our Xiao Mansion have no contact with Xie Mansion!" ”
Although Su Jiu didn't know how the Xie family's good manners stained Wuyi Lane, he still said honestly: "I wrote it down." It's just that I don't know, what is going on with Mr. Xie? How can you not provoke him? ”
"Alas!" Mother Liu sighed, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after all, she didn't say anything, "Childe is still waiting in the house, let's go!" ”
Su Jiu looked back at Xie Mansion, put away his curiosity, and obediently followed Liu's mother to Xiao Mansion.
Located at the end of the long alley, the Xiao Mansion is a large mansion with five entrances and five exits.
Su Jiu stood outside the gate, looking up at the high gatehouse built of bluestone and terrazzo bricks in front of the mansion, and the gatehouse was carved with a picture of two lions playing balls, which was delicate and lifelike.
The word "Xiao Mansion" on the plaque is particularly neat and strict, and it has gone through wind and rain and added a bit of simplicity and elegance, which can be seen to be a century-old scholarly family.
"Let's go inside!"
Liu's mother said, taking her up the steps outside the mansion gate.
Flying eaves and arches, through the heavily carved verandah, Su Jiu was finally led into a small courtyard in this deep mansion.
I saw that the main house of the small courtyard was tightly covered, and on both sides of the fan, there was a pair of rosewood carved couplets.
Shanglian is "indifferent to Mingzhi",
The next link is "quiet and far-reaching".
Horizontal batch, "self-cultivation and morality".
Mother Liu's face showed awe, "Miss Xiaosu, the son must be immersed in studying hard." Childe, he is recovering from a serious illness and is weak, so you must not cause trouble for him. ”
Su Jiu said obediently: "Ah Jiu has written it down." ”
Mother Liu continued to beat her again, "Childe is a bookish man, gentle and humble, and treats his subordinates very generously, and being able to serve by Childe's side is a blessing that you have cultivated in eight lifetimes, and you should cherish it." Alright, go in by yourself! ”
After they left, Su Jiu hugged the small bamboo basket tightly, stood outside the fan with the ruyi pattern of the carved treasure bottle, raised his little hand, and knocked lightly on the door.
