Chapter 63: Ning Mansion
The biggest official Zhao Chunhua has ever seen is their Taoyuan Zhixian, and the Zhixian County also has enough official shelves, and it is carried in a sedan chair when he goes out, not to mention the prefect's home.
Shen An'an was not much better than Zhao Chunhua, and seeing such a battle was a little unexpected to her. If I had known that this Ning Ruyi was a young lady from the official family, I wouldn't have been kind enough to give her a full-body painting if I killed her.
But Shen Anan is timid, and he has promised other people's things, but he can't back down. Now that the Ning family has a knife mountain, she has to break through, not to mention that she is just painting a picture for Miss Ning.
It's good to think of it as a sketching class, in the past, when they were in class, they would often receive some tests from the professor and draw some difficult paintings. She can handle it easily, and today she is afraid.
Thinking of this, Shen An'an's courage became a little bigger, so she stepped forward and saluted first and then asked, "May I ask this official brother, is this Miss Ning's home?" ”
Earlier, Shen Anan and Zhao Chunhua were wandering around at the door of the prefect's yamen, and two officials noticed it, and they didn't go away immediately, but came to the door. A fierce-looking official with a slightly dark face immediately scolded loudly: "Go away, go away, this is the entrance of the prefect's office, how can you and other idle people approach." ”
But they finally came here, how could they give up so easily.
So Shen An'an was bold again, took a step forward, and said: "This official brother, my name is Shen An'an, I came to the door today to paint for Miss Ning, and I also asked the eldest brother to report it." ”
"Haha, you can paint? You're not a liar. After the man finished speaking, his face sank, he waved his big hand, and shouted: "The little liar from there, arrest me." ”
As soon as the man drank in his mouth, two officials immediately stepped forward and grabbed Shen Anan and Zhao Chunhua one left and one right.
"Sister An, save me!" When Zhao Chunhua saw these people, she stepped forward to arrest them without saying a word, and she was immediately frightened. There was only one thought in her mind, it was dangerous outside, and I wanted to go home.
Shen Anan was caught by that person, and he grinned in pain. But he struggled and shouted, "Wait, I have a token." ”
"Wait." I saw a man who was about thirty years younger, with a white face and wearing an official uniform, walked over, and everyone else called him big brother.
"You said that there is a token of Miss Ning, and the token is presented to take a look."
Shen An'an saw that this person was polite and polite, unlike several other officials who were fierce, and immediately presented Ning Ruyi's silk handkerchief to him.
Fortunately, she kept an eye on her at the time, and when she was leaving, she asked Ning Ruyi for a token. Ning Ruyi then gave her a clean silk handkerchief, which was soft and silky in texture, and it looked like a good ice silk.
Shen An'an's dress is very ordinary, which can be described as shabby, and there must be no such precious things at home.
The man took the silk handkerchief in his hand and examined it carefully, and finally in the corner of the handkerchief, he saw two words "Ruyi" that were as big as a steady win.
"Miss Shen, this young lady, please wait for me to inform my young lady."
Seeing that someone finally believed in them, they could also enter the prefect's house safely, which also made Shen Anan breathe a sigh of relief. So she saluted and thanked: "Then thank you to this official brother." ”
Seeing that someone had gone to report, Zhao Chunhua and Shen Anan waited in the courtyard at the entrance of the prefect's house. Shen Anan just glanced at Ning Mansion, and had a rough idea of the number in his heart, so he looked at his nose and nose, and waited for Miss Ning to send someone to pick them up.
Zhao Chunhua looked around and looked around, excited and nervous. Earlier, she finally entered the gate of the Ning family.
But I didn't expect the Ning family to be as beautiful as the palace, magnificent, there was a huge garden not far from the door, even if it was close to early winter at this time, there was a faint fragrance of flowers from time to time in the direction of the garden.
Shen An'an secretly looked at everything in the Ning Mansion, and said in his heart, I would let Miss Ning sit in the garden, and it would be a good place for her to help her paint.
At this time, Zhao Chunhua saw that the danger was lifted, and she was much bolder, and after reading all around, she quietly walked up to Shen An'an's ear and asked softly, "Sister An'er, is this Miss Ning's house?" It's big, it's magnificent. When Zhao Chunhua said this, her eyes were bright and her face was full of envy. She thought that the old man Liu's house was already magnificent enough, but she didn't expect that the Ning family was a few grades higher than the Liu house.
"yes, that's what rich people look like. But such a house is nothing. ”
Zhao Chunhua was envious and a little excited when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "How do I feel that this place is as big as the palace, I don't know what the palace is like, it must be much bigger than here." ”
Shen Anan thought that there were thousands of rooms in the Forbidden City of the Palace Museum, and if a person walked along each of these rooms, he would have to walk for dozens of days, and the area of this Ning Mansion was simply insufficient, one of which was a small courtyard. He said, "Yes, the palace is much bigger than here. ”
Zhao Chunhua's heart was even tighter with envy, and she couldn't help but say something in her mouth. "Hey, if I can go to the palace once in my life, it will be in vain." After speaking, she felt that she seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and added: "No, no, I'll just go to the gate of the palace and take a turn." ”
Shen An'an suddenly smiled and said: "This is easy, catch up with Ming'er, when we have money, it will be enough to go to Kyoto once." ”
Kyoto here is the so-called Beijing, and the Forbidden City is still the Forbidden City, which will not change for thousands of years. Even if Shen Anan felt that the dynasty she came from was like an overhead dynasty, the pattern and terrain distribution of the entire China had not changed much.
"How long will that take?" With Zhao Chunhua's limited imagination, she really couldn't think of how much it would cost to get to Kyoto, how far away it was, and would she be able to realize this wish in her life? But when Shen Anan said this, she felt that there seemed to be some hope.
"It shouldn't be long, but the point is, when you have money, will you make up your mind to go to Kyoto?"
Zhao Chunhua couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yes, this seems to be a problem too." ”
Just thinking about it, he saw Shen An'an pull Zhao Chunhua and whispered something in his mouth. "Someone's coming!" The two of them immediately straightened their expressions and pretended to be looking at the scenery around them.
After a while, a woman of about fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed neatly and dressed in a bright maid, came. The treatment of this big family is good, just a maid, wearing a little more glamorous than the clothes of the village chief's wife in their Taoyuan Village.
Zhao Chunhua stared at the maid very curiously, because she had a beautiful face and fair skin. Therefore, as soon as the maid came, her eyes fell on Zhao Chunhua's body. "You're Miss Shen?"
