Chapter 6: Hu Zhai

The carriage was very spacious, and Ah Xing and Cui Hong sat on one side. The mother-in-law sat outside.

Outside, the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage trembled. When passing by Xiaoxi's house, A-Xing got out of the car and entrusted Xiaoxi Niang to help her take care of her father. Xiao Xiniang glanced at the big carriage marked with additional markings, and said with infinite envy: "The Hu family actually sent a carriage to pick you up, it seems that your sister is favored!" ”

Ah Xing smiled faintly, noncommittal. Cui Hong stuck her head out of the car window and urged: "Girl, it's not too early, get in the car quickly!" ”

Ah Xing smiled at Xiao Xi Niang and said, "Then my father will trouble you to take care of it!" ”

Xiao Xi Niang smiled all over her face: "Don't worry, in case you can't come back at noon, I will ask Xiao Xi to send food to your father!" ”

"Then thank you Aunt San!"

Over there, Cui Hong was already a little impatient, and flirted with the car curtains several times. Ah Xing got into the car, pretending not to see her sinking face, and sat back in her original position. The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the car moved slowly. The curtain opened a small slit from time to time with the trembling of the carriage, and Ah Xing looked at the street of Jincheng through this small slit.

Snow was swept away from the stone path on both sides of the road, lined with shops with greystone walls. Although the weather is cold, because of the upcoming New Year, the number of pedestrians on the street has not decreased, and the merchants are enthusiastically greeting customers, and the customers are excitedly selecting New Year's goods, and all kinds of sounds are mixed together, which seems to be very lively.

Next to her, Cui Hong has been quietly watching A Xing, she is sitting there, her back is straight, her hands are quietly placed, and her whole body naturally exudes a dignified and elegant feeling. A young lady of the Hu family as big as her will be forced to learn the rules, but they give people the feeling that they are very stiff and wooden, not at all like A Xing, who has a kind of elegance in her gestures, as if she was born like this. This made her full of curiosity about Ah Xing, judging from the cowardly and shrinking appearance of the fourth aunt when she first entered the house, she knew that their family had never seen anything in the world and had no rules, but where did this natural noble temperament on A Xing come from?

Ah Xing was looking at the street scene outside, not knowing the doubts in Cuihong's heart beside her. All her behaviors have been rigorously educated and cultivated since she was a child, and all her movements have become a natural habit, not realizing how inappropriate it is for her identity.

Cui Hong saw her looking at the shops outside, remembering the suppressed feeling just now, and was eager to regain a little face, so she showed off: "The shops you see now are all from our Hu family!" ”

Ah Xing turned her head, looked at her and asked in surprise, "Is there a whole street on the left?" ”

Seeing her surprised expression, Cui Hong was very proud in her heart, and nodded: "Yes, there is a whole street on the left, including jewelry stores, restaurants, and inns...... Your sister is really a blessing from the previous life to be the aunt of our Hu family. ”

Ah Xing turned her head, and it was no wonder that Cuihong had an idea, in this era, the productive forces are underdeveloped, and most people live a life of hunger and cold, so being able to eat and dress for a lifetime is probably a woman's blessing.

Now, does Ah Yin, who has already tried a rich life, think the same way?

Seeing that Ah Xing stopped talking, Cui Hong thought that she was shocked by the wealth of the Hu family, and her heart was much more comfortable, and she couldn't help but think that the depressed feeling she gave herself just now might be her own delusion. It's just a poor girl who has never seen the world, where can there be that kind of momentum!

For a while, the two of them had their own ideas, and Ah Xing didn't talk to Cuihong anymore, Cuihong was the girl next to Mrs., it was better to communicate less, after all, she was not a person of this era, so as not to say too much wrong.

The carriage slowed down slowly, Cui Hong lifted the door curtain and glanced out, then turned back to Ah Xing and said, "Girl, Hu Fu has arrived." ”

Ah Xing lifted the curtains of the car, and saw the gate with several meters high vermilion lacquer green tiles, a large flat on the door, two big characters "Hu Fu" gilded on it, and two majestic stone lions in front of the door.

The carriage did not stop in front of the gate, but walked around the gate to the other side, and then stopped at the side gate. The mother-in-law sitting outside said loudly, "Girl, it's here, get off the bus." ”

Cui Hong answered, walked out first, and got out of the carriage. A few steps away from the carriage, for fear that Ah Xing would ask her to "pull" her again, this is the door of Hu's house, she is the girl next to Mrs., but she can't afford to lose this face.

Ah Xing knew what she was thinking, and she didn't care, so she got out of the carriage carefully.

Cui Hong took Ah Xing in.

The Hu house is very large, with pavilions and pavilions, garden pavilions, and corridors connected. In addition to the roof, most of the snow in the Hu Mansion has been cleared, and the roads are even more refreshing and sharp, which shows the efficiency of the Hu Mansion's slave and maid movements.

Ah Xing followed Cuihong around one turn after another, through one corridor after another, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard. Cui Hong shouted inside, "Little Ring! ”

After a while, a little girl with two handfuls of hair ran out. When he saw Cuihong, he shouted: "Sister Cuihong." ”

Cui Hong said to her: "I have brought the fourth aunt's sister here, you greet, I will go back to the errand!" Saying that, he turned around and walked away without even entering the courtyard gate, let alone going to say hello to Ah Yin, which shows that Ah Yin's status in the Hu Mansion is not as high as even if he is favored.

Xiaohuan is about the same age as Ah Xing, she looked at Ah Xing curiously, and Ah Xing saw that it was the girl next to Ah Yin, so she smiled softly at her. Who knew that the little girl blushed like this, then lowered her head and whispered: "Girl, please come in, the fourth aunt has been waiting for you for a long time." As he spoke, he led the way.

A-Xing followed her through the front yard and came to a small building with carved beams and paintings.

"Is A-Xing here?" With a clear and graceful voice like a yellow warbler out of the valley, a beautiful woman in a gorgeous costume soon appeared in front of the door of the small building. When he saw Ah Xing, he floated in front of Ah Xing like a colorful cloud.

Ah Xing opened her eyes wide and looked at the woman in the gorgeous makeup in front of her, her hair was pulled into a complex and gorgeous dark cloud bun, with a shiny golden hairpin, her face was red and white, the fat powder was very delicate, and her lips were bright red. Wearing a short coat of mink fur, a long skirt of brocade, and boots studded with pearls were revealed when she walked, her whole body was shining and dazzling, but it was not her sister Ah Yin. At this time, Ah Yin was a little fatter, more delicate and plump, and under this gorgeous dress, there was a kind of showiness that could not be forced. It's hard to look at it.

But Ah Xing felt that Ah Yin at this time had lost her previous beauty and slowly fell into vulgarity. And this kind of gaudy vulgarity is the most likely to cause aesthetic fatigue.

Li Yin naturally didn't know the sorrow in Ah Xing's heart, she was very happy to see her mother's family. She enthusiastically pulled Ah Yin to her room and asked Ah Xing to see her room.

Li Yin excitedly pointed to the carved big bed and embroidered brocade quilt, as well as the screen painted with flowers, birds, fish and insects, as well as all the pear blossom wood furniture, and said, "See, it's beautiful!" Li Yin's face couldn't hide a smile.

Ah Xing didn't want to sweep her sister's interest, and smiled faintly: "It's very beautiful." She took her sister's hand and asked with concern, "Sister, are you doing well?" "The other aunts and ladies didn't embarrass her, did they? That's all she wants to know.

Li Yin showed a satisfied and happy smile on his face, and said, "Ah Xing, you don't have to worry about me, I'm doing well, and the old lady is okay with me!" Saying that, he pulled Ah Xing to the closet, showed her her clothes, and told her one by one what the material was made and where it came from, "This is all given to me by Mrs., and there are many jewelry and jewelry over there, which were given to me by Mrs., and the master also said that when I go to the north to do business in the future, he will buy me a white fox fur cloak, and he said that only I am worthy of wearing this pure white fox fur in this family......" Speaking of this, Li Yin lowered his head, and his face showed a trace of blush.
