But said that along the way, everyone knew that they would stay overnight and everything went smoothly, but they didn't encounter any trouble, and Mingxin, who was regarded as a great enemy by the Ni family, didn't even show his face. Guo Wan's explanation for this is that "Mingxin has a disease that can't blow wind, so he can only recuperate in the car", which was praised by Ni's family.

It can be seen from this that Mingxin's appearance in Huang County was just Guo Wan saying hello and informing the Ni family. She knew very well what Ni and the others were thinking, so after greeting and beating, she locked up the people again, so as not to let them come out and annoy people.

Grandma Qiu Si knew so much, even if she was from a lower background, Ni still admired it very much, and the other party gave away a few "aromatic dew" that had just come out, even if the Li family, who was used to seeing good things, also called it extraordinary, Ni looked at Guo Wan and became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Half a month later, on a light rainy evening, the carriage arrived at Jinan Mansion, and everyone was divided into two roads at the city gate, Guo Wan had her own Han family steward to contact, and Li Heng's mother, Mrs. Li, also lived in the prefect's mansion as early as two months ago.

Through the thin rain curtain, Chen Ying lifted the brocade curtain at the window and looked out, and saw Li Heng and his son standing under the car, talking to a man with a capable appearance and a gray cloth shirt.

"This is Qi in charge, and it is the most useful thing for my grandfather." Li Xi introduced the tunnel on the side, and when he spoke, his eyes were shining, and he looked curiously at the city gate not far away.

Chen Ying nodded silently.

The Li family also briefly mentioned the situation of the Li family, Chen Ying knew that this Qi steward was a servant of the Li family, and he followed his maternal grandfather Li Zhen as a scholar since he was a child.

After a brief chat with Qi Lu, Li Heng ordered the convoy to set off again, and the carriage slowly drove through the tall city gate and entered Jinan City.

Because he wanted to take over official business, Li Heng would go to the government office in the middle of the road, and the female dependents would go directly to the official residence under the escort of the servants.

Chen Ying saw ancient Jinan for the first time.

This historically famous ancient city is equally impressive in this time and space. The tall castle is solemn and solemn, and the neat gray wall tiles are stacked with majestic charm, and when the carriage passes under the city gate, Chen Ying suddenly has a feeling of walking through history.

After entering the city, I saw that the wide road was paved with large stone slabs, and its market was as prosperous as Shengjing, but it had a kind of simplicity that the former lacked. The carriage galloped into the road, and the willows and autumn flowers could be seen along the road, although it was not the scene of "spring water in every house, weeping poplars in every household" described in the book, but its long-lasting taste, but it was far more than what was written on paper.

"It is said that Shandong people are real, I don't feel this way in Penglai, but now this Jinan Mansion makes people feel a little bit of this meaning." Li Xi shook his head and said on the side, and sighed for a while: "It's a pity that it's raining, and it's not fun to see." ”

Chen Ying didn't speak, but her eyebrows frowned.

The bustling streets are full of people, men, women and children, but if you look closely, you will find that most of the women walking on the road are dressed as women, and the young girls cannot say that there are none, but there are very few.

Li Xi soon discovered this, so he took his elbow and turned Chen Ying, and said with a smile: "Cousin, look, the girls here are really dressed when they go out." ”

Li Xi's so-called strictness does not mean the dress. In the early winter, people's clothes are already heavy, and this is beyond reproach. Li Xi's surprise was the long fence of those young women, the thick leno was overlapped, and it was dragged to the ground, even covering the surface of the feet, and it was impossible to see the clothes on the girls' bodies at all.

"It's really not the same as Kyosato." After looking at it for a while, Li Xi said again, still curious in his tone.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the car window, startling Li Xi, leaning back, but fortunately he was supported by Chen Ying.

"Girls, please close the curtains." The man outside the window said respectfully.

Li Xi immediately heard the owner of this voice, and was slightly annoyed, and said angrily: "Mother Chang, you are really right, and suddenly you came out and scared me." ”

Mother Chang smiled and said: "The slave maid asked the girl to say goodbye, and she was shocked that the girl was the slave's fault, and the girl was not annoyed." ”

These servants are all from the Li family, and Li Xi is familiar with them all, so he waved his hand at this moment and said: "That's it, it's not a big deal, you go down." ”

When Chang's mother heard this, she didn't leave, and continued to smile and say, "Girls, put down the curtain, and the slave and maid will go." ”

Li Xi was a little unhappy, and said impatiently: "Let's just take a look, and I didn't get out of the car, Chang's mother is going quickly, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Li Xiping is very favored by Mrs. Li, and her words will not be so polite.

How did Mother Chang know that this little ancestor could not be offended, but she was helpless, so she had to say cautiously: "Don't worry, girl, the slave will go by herself for a while." It's just that this Jinan Mansion is not quite the same as other places, so the girl still listens to the slave and maid and closes the curtain. In the end, the meaning is extremely mournful.

Li Xi frowned, and wanted to say anything more, but Chen Ying patted her gently, stepped forward and closed the curtain, and said, "Mom, go, we know." ”

Chang's mother breathed a sigh of relief and went with a thousand thanks, Li Xi pouted and looked unhappy, and sat there sulking, probably angry that Chen Ying refused to help her.

Chen Ying felt both funny and helpless, so she stepped forward and took her hand and said, "You probably didn't notice that there were many pedestrians pointing at our car outside, and Chang's mother was also embarrassed." ”

When Li Xi heard this, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and he didn't get angry with Chen Ying, he only pinched his waist and said: "These people are really lenient, I look at me, what does it matter to them?" ”

"It's none of their business, but some people just like it." Chen Ying touched her hair and said softly: "Presumably, the folk customs here are very old-fashioned, and Chang's mother is also kind." ”

Even though she doesn't agree with such folk customs, and even sneers at it, she is also unwilling to embarrass these innocent people.

This is the result of the times, and has nothing to do with the individual. Even if she herself is willing to be a moth to the fire, she can't force others to agree with her, right?

The carriage soon arrived at the place, and Li Xi also put aside these troubles and happily got off the car.

She grew up beside Mrs. Li since she was a child, and her grandparents and grandchildren have a very deep relationship, and now she is about to see her grandmother, she can't help but be happy, and after getting out of the car, her mouth has been cocked, her eyes are shining, and she is urging Chen Ying to hurry up.

Chen Ying couldn't help but be pulled forward by her, and when she sat on the blue curtain sedan chair, she opened the sedan curtain and looked around.
