Chapter 18: The Drama of the Old Zhongyi Hou Family (2)

Lao Zhongyi Hou ancestor surnamed Hua, ancestral home Wuzhou, is the founding hero of the Dahua Dynasty from the dragon, the family from the previous dynasty Hua family is a noble family, the family heritage is not comparable to the Shangguan Mansion such a rising family.

The night before going to visit, Mama Zhu was instructed to instill various precautions in Qingdai. Qing Dai knew that such a Zhong Ming Ding Food House had big rules at home, so she pricked up her ears and listened carefully from the beginning, for fear that an inattentive person would really make some jokes and lose the face of the Shangguan family. In view of the recent Qingdai under her ear and face, the rules and etiquette have made great progress, Mama Zhu only gave oral guidance, and did not conduct any actual combat exercises before letting Qingdai rest early.

Early the next morning, Qingdai climbed out of the quilt for the first time, called Yinhong to wash and eat and change clothes, goose yellow dress with emerald green flowers and birds pattern sleeveless short skirts, embroidered white peach onion green satin embroidered shoes, and the line sponsored by everyone also had a place to use this time, embedded with the sheep fat jade gift from the aunt, and the gold-inlaid treasure shrimp pecking needle given by the eldest sister. After dressing neatly, Qing Dai also twisted in front of the half-human-high dressing mercury mirror robbed in the warehouse, poked her bread face, and nodded with satisfaction, she has gained weight in the past two months, her little face is white and powdery, powdery, with big eyes, good, very cute and cute.

"Mama, is Grandmother up?" After going out for the first time in more than three months, Qingdai was a little excited.

"I've already gotten up, and I'm just resting after dinner, and I'm saying that the girl will go out when she's ready."

Qingdai happily prepared to run to the old lady's yard, Yinhong hurriedly grabbed her and hung a lake blue purse on her waist, "Carefully seen by the old lady, I want to train the girl again." This purse has double pockets, one side of which is filled with snacks, and the other side is silver leaf, just in case. ”

"It's still Sister Yinhong who is careful." Qing Dai secretly stuck out her tongue, and also felt that she was a little overexcited. Yinhong smiled but didn't answer, straightened Qingdai's clothes, and then took her hand to say goodbye to the old lady.

……

Lao Zhongyihou's villa is located in the western suburbs of the city, take a carriage to walk for an hour and a half, out of the mansion gate, Qingdai quietly opened the curtain all the way, leaving a small gap to look at the street scene outside. Wuzhou City is not big and near the sea, the climate is humid, the main street is lined with white walls and blue tiles of two-storey buildings, pedestrians, cars and horses come and go in an endless stream, but there is no trouble of modern urban traffic congestion, but it gives people a sense of grace and leisure in the water town. I like such an elegant city Qingdai very much, but it's a pity that I'm still young, according to the official fortune of Shangguan's father, Wuzhou will not be her long-term residence.

Out of the city, the speed of the carriage increased significantly. Stepping on the shallow grass and falling flowers, accompanied by the gentle breeze, the horses chirp happily and move forward, which makes people feel comfortable and comfortable. It feels good to be back in nature, Qingdai is in a good mood, humming an unknown tune in her mouth, lifting the curtain to enjoy the scenery generously, even the bumps caused by the poor shock absorption of the carriage did not affect her happy mood in the slightest.

After walking for a while, the carriage turned out of the official road, and walked two miles north of the path, passing through a field of rape flowers, and a group of buildings came into view, and the high white wall was undulating, and it was impossible to see the end at a glance, like a long snake entrenched at the foot of the mountain.

"Where is the other courtyard of the Marquis of Zhongyi?" Qing Dai was a little stunned, this is too big, right?

Yinhong pursed her lips and smiled, "How can it?" It was Tsinghua Town, and all the people living in it were the Hua family. The ancestral house of the Marquis of Zhongyi is in the town, but the other courtyard is built in the valley of Mingyu Mountain. ”

Fortunately, if such a large piece of land was the annex of his Zhongyi Marquis's family, it would be too corrupt. Qing Dai thought secretly, but this Hua family must be extremely powerful in Wuzhou, and the outer wall of a town is like a small city.

Entering the "city gate" of Qinghua Town, the carriage has been driving towards the foot of the mountain, entering the belly of the mountain through the green bamboo forest, and after a moment, the carriage stopped on the shore of a blue lake.

Yinhong got out of the car with Qingdai in her arms, and Qingdai was completely dumbfounded.

The courtyard of the Zhongyi Hou family is actually built on the island in the middle of the lake, looking from afar, the red walls and green tile pavilions and pavilions loom in the green bamboo, and a single glance makes people feel like they are in a fairyland, not to mention what it will be like after going to the island.

Qingdai secretly praised, elegant enough, beautiful enough, and luxurious enough...... Where is this where people live, in modern times, I thought I had arrived at someone's high-end clubhouse. It's no wonder that Mrs. Lao Zhongyi Hou didn't live in the capital, and went all the way to Wuzhou for a vacation, and the return date was delayed again and again, and she was reluctant to leave if she lived in such a place by herself.

Calling Yinhong, there was no response for a long time, Qingdai looked back, only to find that Sister Yinhong's eyes were full of surprise and shock like her, obviously it was the first time to come here.

"Ahem" Qingdai coughed twice in a fake manner, reminding Yinhong not to continue to soil leopards, the Hua family's boat is still waiting. Yinhong came back to her senses, she was pretty and red, and secretly took a sip of herself, so we are also the big girls who are waiting in the room of the three girls of Shangguan Mansion, how can we be so ignorant?! As a senior maid of the Shangguan family, Yinhong reflected on her gaffe, then straightened her waist, did not squint, and picked up the three girls Qingdai and boarded the boat.

went to the island, changed to a green oil car, and traveled all the way to the gate of the villa of Zhongyihou's house. There were two mothers-in-law waiting on the door early, and when they saw the old lady get off the sedan chair, they hurriedly greeted her, and then asked the old lady and Qingdai to enter, and changed into a soft sedan chair and went to the Ruian Hall where Mrs. Zhongyi lived.

Qingdai didn't dare to beat the sedan curtain too high, secretly looked out through the small crack, terrazzo pavement, green trees beside the road, flowers, three steps, a small scene, five steps and a big scene, even the shape of the street lamp is full of tricks, I can't help but sigh, walking here really has a feeling of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

When they arrived at Ruian Hall, the enthusiastic grandmother led the old lady and Qingdai into the main hall.

Before anyone entered the door, they heard a burst of laughter. At first glance, the room was already full. In the fragrant powder cloud sideburns, except for the female dependents of various provinces, the vast majority of them are girls, to be precise, little girls ranging from eleven or twelve to fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed up so like a show! The older ladies and daughters-in-law all talked amusefully around the silver-haired old woman, and the girls were either smiling, elegant and quiet, or cute and lovely, each with its own characteristics, but there was one thing in common, that is, their eyes would inadvertently drift towards the door.

"Old Madam Shangguan has arrived." Someone at the door sang and announced, and after everyone's gaze at the door materialized, the girls couldn't hide their disappointment, but they returned to normal in an instant.

Qing Dai looked at her nose and ears and cared, smacking her face and touching today's play, it seems that there are some other doorways!

"Old sister, you're here." Mrs. Hua got up and greeted Mrs. Shangguan to take a seat together.

Old Madam Shangguan smiled and said, "I've kept you waiting." Qing Dai, come over to give Mrs. Hua a salute. ”

Qing Dai saluted respectfully: "Qing Dai has seen the old lady, I wish the old lady a long life and good health." ”

"Huh!" Mrs. Hua beckoned her to come closer, "Come, come and let me take a look." ”

Qing Dai didn't recognize her life when she heard this, and walked forward with her little short legs. Mrs. Hua took a closer look and saw that Qing Dai was born with pink carved jade, and she liked it very much, "Yo, your little girl looks really smart, and her little mouth is also sweet." I have been an old sister with your grandmother for decades, so let the old lady see more outside, and call Grandmother Shenghua to listen. ”

Qing Dai looked at the old lady, and with the old lady's consent, she shouted: "Grandmother Hua." ”

"Uh, good, good!" Mrs. Hua took off a green bracelet from her wrist and put it on Qing Dai's hand, "Good boy, this is a gift from grandmother to you." ”

Qingdai knew that it was a good product when she started, and she was secretly happy in her heart. At this time, the old lady sitting on it said, "What is a child doing with such a precious thing?" ”

"It's just some external objects, you and I are so old, do you still care about this? It's rare that this kid is in line with my eyes, well-behaved and sensible, the more I look at it, the more I like it, it's much better than those bastard monkeys in my family. ”

Seeing that Mrs. Hua insisted, Mrs. Shangguan didn't say anything anymore, and reminded Qingdai: "Why don't you thank Grandmother Hua soon?" ”

When Qing Dai heard this, she said unceremoniously: "Thank you Grandmother Hua for your generous gift!" The little hands clasped each other, holding the bracelet that was much thicker than her wrist, for fear that one would accidentally drop the baby on the ground and fall.

Then, Mrs. Hua introduced the old ladies to the ladies of the various families, and the old ladies present were not all familiar with them, so the ladies of each family introduced themselves again, and by the way, they solemnly introduced their own girls. Qing Dai took a look at the empty and handed the bracelet to Mama Zhu for safekeeping, and then stood beside the old lady to greet the ladies.

Because she was a milk doll in the field, and Mrs. Hua showed a special love for Qingdai, the wife of the Wuzhou prefect pulled out a phoenix hairpin and gave it to Qingdai, and then a group of ladies also untied their purses and contributed a lot of gifts to Qingdai. There are those who can't wipe their face, and there are those who want to please Mrs. Hua...... In short, the meaning is indescribable. As the income continues to increase, Qingdai's smile becomes more and more sweet and cute. Although the cheeks are a little stiff in the end, it is called a beauty in my heart.

After the girls of each family saw the ceremony, Mrs. Hua smiled and quipped: "Looking at a room full of flower-like girls, I have to serve the old man." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." The old lady stretched out her hand to hug Qingdai, "But then again, the girl here today is a top notch, if she can marry one and go home to be a granddaughter-in-law, it will be a great blessing." ”

The eyes of all the ladies who were guests lit up when they heard this, and after being humble, they all praised the old lady for being able to speak; And the girls suddenly blushed, all of them were shy and moving.

Qing Dai smiled secretly, daring to love that her grandmother was not here to see the play, but was invited by Mrs. Hua to act. This old lady Hua invited someone to watch the church, and it was clearly a blind date meeting for her grandson.

After a while, there was a waiting grandmother who said that the flowers in the garden were blooming just right, and asked the two old ladies and ladies and girls to move, first to enjoy the flowers, and then go to the music pavilion to listen to the play. Mrs. Hua agreed, and walked out of the hall in a room.
