Chapter 47: The Wu Family
There is a carriage parked outside the door, with a vermilion bottom plate, four yellow columns, a white brocade canopy, surrounded by two layers of tulle, and the soft silk cushion inside can be faintly seen, this is the most commonly used small carriage of the rich lady in summer, the carriage of the Wu family not only looks luxurious, but the wooden board is made of high-quality spiritual wood, and a carriage is worth the cost of ordinary people for more than ten years.
Zhong Xingyue didn't know how valuable this carriage was, she only knew that it was very comfortable to sit in, and she didn't even feel a little bumpy, and she was almost about to fall asleep inside.
Wu Qing is a man, so naturally he will not take this kind of carriage, he rides outside to lead the way, and the two guards are responsible for driving the carriage.
The Wu family is located in the west of the capital, Zhong Xingyue knows that most of the people living here are big officials, and ordinary people usually dare not come here, for fear of angering the official master by accident.
The carriage walked smoothly, and it took about half an hour to arrive at Wu's house.
"Hungry?"
Wu Qing's voice came from outside.
"Hmm. Zhong Xingyue nodded embarrassedly
When they left Ling'an Hall, it was not yet dawn, and she had not eaten, and she was hungry all the time.
The guards on both sides dutifully helped her out of the carriage, which made her a little uncomfortable, and she could jump off by herself, making her look like a weak woman.
"The family hasn't eaten yet, just in time for the meal, you girl is still more blessed. ”
One of the guards led the carriage away, probably off the rails, and the other guard followed behind Wu Qing, silent.
Zhong Xingyue followed Wu Qing's side, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue when she heard him say this, as the saying goes, children who have food everywhere they go can't go hungry.
"Uh......"
Zhong Xingyue suddenly stopped, looking at the high-walled compound in front of her in disbelief.
This... Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion?
On the vermilion gate, the golden plaque is shining, isn't it written with the four big characters of the Marquis of Zhenguo's Mansion!
"What's wrong?" Sensing Zhong Xingyue's change, Wu Qing also stopped.
"Little cousin... Are we in the wrong place......"
Zhenguo Hou's Mansion, is it a place where her little minion can come?
"No, this is my house, and your aunt is here. ”
What is the name of the Marquis of Zhenguo? Wu Yue!
What's my cousin's surname?
I'll it~It won't be such a coincidence~
She actually has such a bullish aunt?
If she had confessed it a long time ago, who would dare to bully her...
"It turns out that my mother's aunt is Mrs. Zhenguohou..."Zhong Xingyue said in a low voice
"Yes, but your mother is too stubborn..."
Zhong Xingyue seemed to hear Wu Qing sigh, and there was still a little loneliness in her tone, she couldn't help but look up at him curiously, but saw that he had already entered the door one step ahead of her.
Facing you are two rows of phoenix pines, surrounded by a little green leaf, shining in the early morning, and the white carvings held high in the middle are rich and fat.
The middle is a gravel paved path, although it is not the most common bluestone road as always, but the gravel road is more interesting, the gravel road goes to the middle, it should be the place where the Hou Mansion will meet guests, a row of houses carved beams and painted buildings, dignified and upright, and the gravel road forks to the right side, the weeping willows on both sides are manman, and at the end is a big moon gate, across this moon gate, it is the backyard where the owners of the Hou Mansion live.
More than 20 meters high big rockery is upright, majestic, strange rocks, the lotus pond winding path under the mountain, the small bridge flowing water, there are maids rowing a boat in the lotus pond to seek, to pick the dew on the lotus flower in the early morning. The peaks on the mountain turn around, twists and turns, the red and green of the ivy trees and hibiscus flowers reflect each other, it is particularly moving, if you stand in the small pavilion on the top of the mountain, the green mountains and green waters, the pavilions and pavilions, the picturesque scenery, should be able to take in the panoramic view.
For Zhong Xingyue, these are just beautiful scenery that can be enjoyed, but the garden is mixed with flowers and plants, but she can't help but be speechless, strange grass fairy vines, vines and vines, these are valuable elixirs!
Poor people outside are so tired that they die for an elixir, but in this Hou Mansion, they just use them as flowers and plants to decorate the garden.
The Yuan Force in the Hou Mansion was very strong, and Zhong Xingyue couldn't wait to open her mouth and take a deep breath.
The two walked through the garden and bypassed the rockery, and saw the winding corridors and several large and small houses, and Wu Qing led her straight to the largest independent small courtyard.
Before entering the door, I heard the laughter of several women in the distance.
"Mother, I'm back with Xingyue. ”
The laughter in the room stopped abruptly, and footsteps moved quickly towards the doorway.
"Where is it?"
Wu Qing took the initiative to turn sideways to the side, allowing the thin Zhong Xingyue to appear in front of everyone.
There are a total of three women who came out, among them, the middle-aged woman with a plump body is the leader, although this person is a little fatter, but the charm of his youth in his eyebrows and eyes has not disappeared, if he looks carefully, he really has three points of imagination with Su Min, Zhong Xingyue only glanced at it, and guessed that this person was her aunt.
Sure enough, when she looked at the three men, the three of them were also looking at her, and the woman in the middle looked at her for a long time, and suddenly pulled her into her arms.
"Oh, my poor boy, who cut off your arm with a thousand knives, why didn't Min Min mention it in his letter?"
Zhong Xingyue was still a little uncomfortable when she was held in her arms at first, but when she saw that this woman was crying as she spoke, she couldn't help but feel a little touched in her heart.
Since she was a child, she has only one mother, she has a father, but her father doesn't hurt, she has an older brother, but her brother doesn't love her, rather than seeing them as air, it's better not to be at ease, and now she is suddenly cared for like this, Zhong Xingyue's heart is warm all of a sudden.
"Auntie, I was afraid that my mother would be worried, so I didn't tell her, you have to keep it secret, otherwise your mother will be in a hurry and won't be able to eat. Zhong Xingyue's rare tone was a little squeamish
Since she came to the national capital, she has lived like an adult, and it was the first time that she was so coquettish, and she almost forgot that she was also a child.
"You kid!" Su Yin was angry and pitying, "If your mother had half of your conscience, she wouldn't have even come to me for so many years!"
Zhong Xingyue couldn't take this, because she didn't know how her mother and the Wu family were unhappy.
At this moment, her stomach barked just right...
Zhong Xingyue was suddenly embarrassed, but Su Yin and the others laughed.
"Are you hungry, Qing'er, you are really, why don't you buy something for Xingyue to eat on the way?" Su Yin glared at Wu Qing, who was standing silently on the side
"Brother Qing, a big man, where can he be so careful, and he is in a hurry to come back to see you, so I forgot. Behind Su Yin, a beautiful-looking woman in her twenties said with a smile
She was supposed to be an unmarried woman, but monks often couldn't tell her age by her appearance, so it was hard for her to guess how old she was.
But Zhong Xingyue always felt that this woman didn't seem to like her very much.
