It is said that Master Dong took Yanzhi all the way to the car, and finally entered the capital and came to a magnificent courtyard. The plaque in the middle is decorated with five large gold characters of "Shixun XX Mansion", corresponding to the golden door in the center of the door inlaid with a pair of tiger head copper rings with angry eyes, and the side doors on both sides are carved ancient doors painted with vermilion decoration. On the left and right, there is a granite carved lion with angry eyes, one foot is slightly raised, one foot is on the ground, and the mouth is carved stone beads.

Like a soldier who has won a battle, Old Man Dong jumped out of the carriage first, and walked towards the Dabei Courtyard with his shirt soft. When I turned around, I saw that Dong Yanzhi was still hesitating and doubting, and she was in a trance like a dream, so she couldn't help but shout: "Yanzhi, keep up." Dong Yanzhi immediately came back to her senses, responded lightly, and then followed with her clothes.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard for a while, two black-clothed gatekeepers suddenly crossed out on the left and right, waving to stop him, and shouted, "Who are you?" Without being checked by the doormen, he dared to forcibly break into Shixun's XXX Mansion. Could it be that he thinks that his lawsuit has eaten less, and he insists on making this trip to troubled waters? ”

Old Man Dong and Dong Yanzhi bent their heads, turned their heads sideways to listen to the waterfall drinks of these two families, and were stunned, opened their eyes with big copper bells, and asked in surprise: "Ouch, brother, this is XXX's Du Mansion." The lady's name is Liu Junyi, and the master's name is Du Qishan? ”

The two family members were stunned for a moment, and swept the two old and young grandchildren in front of them with cold eyes, and then looked at the clothes and outfits on the grandparents and grandchildren. Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were full of dust and earth, and they were carrying a shabby trip like a beggar, and they were wrapped in a fine flower cloth on their backs, they couldn't help but snort, their eyes turned to the sky, and they mocked as much as they could: "Yes, this is the famous XXX Du Mansion in the capital." What's the matter, the old man doesn't look at what kind of identity you are or what color you are wearing, so he comes to recognize your relatives with a signboard, but there are really yours. ”

Old man Dong couldn't take care of a lot of face for a while, and with a thick old face, he stretched his old face and grabbed his knees and said, "Well, well, brother, please do me a favor and send a letter to Mrs. Liu to our grandfather and grandson." Let's just say that my niece from the south came to visit her and begged her to meet the old man's house, and just chatter about some common things. ”

The two snobbish family members who looked at them coldly and squintedly, heard what Old Man Dong said, it turned out that the grandfather and grandson were the closest relatives of the master of the family. Although I still didn't dare to believe the truth in front of me, I didn't dare to be presumptuous for a while, and my attitude changed a little better. A relatively old and more serious family member stepped forward and saluted: "Old man, since you are a close relative who has come from afar to visit, I will bother you two to stay here for a while, and wait for me to inform Mrs. Liu before reasoning." After saying that, the family turned and left, and ordered another family member to guard the gate of the courtyard in front of the door.

After waiting for a long time, the family member who went to report Mrs. Liu followed an old man who looked like a housekeeper and panted and said, "Ouch, old man, it's hard, it's hard." My wife said that when distant relatives visit, it would be a loss of etiquette. She wants to rush to the front hall in person to wash the dust and catch the wind for your grandfather and grandson, so you two can go with the old man. ”

After that, the old man turned around and shouted into the courtyard: "A few people came out of it to help my niece and aunt's family pack these clothes and luggage." Then send a few maids to the west wing of the backyard to clean up a few clean rooms for backup, everything is done and settled, send someone to reply to me, I can ask my wife for an idea. As soon as the old man's words fell, a few sturdy little guys came out of the courtyard of Dufu, picking things and carrying bags. For a while, he also cleaned up the family stalls of the old man and grandson of Dong, leaving no dirt.

The old man Dong looked at the luggage in front of him, and in an instant, he was cleaned up by the small servants, and he didn't say anything more, took Dong Yanzhi's hand and followed the old man who had just spoken into the Dufu Courtyard. Under the leadership of the old man, after passing through the nine-curved corridor, walking through the flower garden path, passing through the dead trees and vines and crows flowing through the small bridge, and crossing the flying phoenix of the pavilion building, he finally came to the main hall of Du Mansion.

The main hall of Dufu is decorated wide and bright, elegant and chic, and the big red lanterns hanging outside the nut are displayed in the wind, and there is the bearing of the royal capital in the capital. On the table of eight immortals made of antique red sandalwood ebony in the middle is enshrined a picture of a longevity immortal with a large red peach, and a large bronze incense cage in the middle is curling like a wisp of light smoke. On each side is a master's chair. On each side of the window machine stood three messengers of different colors, with numb and solemn expressions, and their hair buns were decorated with precious ornaments of different colors, as if to distinguish them from different levels.

Among them, a middle-aged lady who is rich and dressed enchantingly, not delicate and not glamorous, and not seductive, is sitting on the master's chair on the left, and she is Mrs. Liu of Du Mansion.

Mrs. Liu saw that her old man had brought Old Man Dong and Dong Yanzhi in, an old man and a young man, and quickly stood up from her seat and cried: "My hard-working child is hey, since I got your news, my aunt wants to kill you." Today, our aunt and nephew can see it, it is really a bodhisattva protector, and God has opened his eyes. Come, come, come, sit inside, sit inside, let my aunt see that my miserable child has been so wronged. After saying that, he pulled Dong Yanzhi in front of him with tears and pulls, looked at it carefully, looked left and right, and finally didn't forget to secretly turn around and wipe the tears on his face.

When Dong Yanzhi first came, she was already dizzy and frightened. Seeing the middle-aged lady in front of me again, when I saw myself, I was talking to myself with a handful of snot and tears, like a play on the field, changing roles to caress myself. For a while, he seemed overstretched and at a loss. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say a word. had to stand in the middle in a daze, letting the rich middle-aged lady turn over the miserable and desolate self-talk.

Old Man Dong was also like an outsider, and he gave Mrs. Liu a slight look, and he didn't dare to make a sound like the old man who led him and a few maids who were waiting, for fear that his slightest noise would interrupt the entanglement of the two women in front of him. I had to hold my breath, still standing, silently looking at the emotional drama in front of me, and let my heart share the truth, goodness and beauty of this beloved in the world.

"Okay, auntie, didn't I come to you properly? Why did you cry yourself first? Did Yan Zhi do something wrong, so that the aunt and nephew who had never been familiar with each other when they first met were in a state of despair. Dong Yanzhi suddenly broke free of the middle-aged woman's hand, lowered her head and said abruptly, the amazing appearance of a deer is endearing.

"No, it's not, my good boy. As soon as my aunt saw your appearance, she thought of my immortal sister, and seeing you was like seeing your own mother, how could my aunt not be sad. Mrs. Liu refuted Dong Yanzhi's words and said, her sad appearance was not relieved by Dong Yanzhi's persuasion.

"Auntie, don't cry, Yanzhi is really sad. As soon as Yanzhi came, she didn't have time to catch up with her aunt, but she let her aunt be heartbroken like this, isn't this Yanzhi's. Yan Zhi thought that no matter how hard and difficult it was before, her aunt should be happy, why did she entangle the complicated heartstrings first, how can this be done, it is all the sins that Yan Zhi provoked to her aunt? Yan Zhi shouldn't be like this, please forgive my aunt! Dong Yanzhi said with a lovely and pitiful delicate face, and her self-blame was full of traces of tears.

"Hey, my child, my aunt is crying with joy, it has nothing to do with you. My aunt just thinks about my poor sister, why is her life so bitter? I went early, and I didn't leave a baby and let someone take care of my sister early, wouldn't it be a birth. In vain, you have been living alone in this troubled world for more than ten years, and my aunt understands it in her heart. No one in this world loves and pities children, just like the withered grass in the wild, humiliated and trampled on, so has its own foothold? Child, this sinful sin, I have let you alone as a female baby for so many years, and my aunt is like a knife when she thinks about it. Now that God has finally opened his eyes, you are here, and my aunt is relieved to see that you are safe and sound. In the future, you can stay with your aunt, don't go there, live with your cousins and sisters, and save your aunt this sadness for her sister. Mrs. Liu stroked and comforted Dong Yanzhi again, rolled her tears and said, as if she had made up her mind with an iron heart, and others would not think about changing it.

"Well, Yanzhi thanks my aunt for her love, and I am grateful for my aunt's affection for my mother. Yan Zhi is now alone, so she will follow her aunt's wishes. It's just that my elderly grandfather also has to drag down my aunt, which makes Yanzhi feel unhappy. Dong Yanzhi suddenly knelt down to the middle-aged lady and said carefully, turning her head to stare at the old man Dong who was still standing on the side and didn't know what to do.

Mrs. Liu immediately said softly, "Hey, you see, my virtue is only concerned with chatting with you when I get excited, and I don't want to snub your old man on the side." The middle-aged lady looked up at the old man who led the way standing in front of the hall, and suddenly said, "Steward Wu, you first take my nephew's grandfather down to settle down, and then wash the dust and catch the wind for the grandfather and grandson." For the rest, you can just look at the arrangement. Well, I'm so anxious that I'm chatting with my own nephew for a while. This joyful scene is just gripping the heartstrings. The old man, known as Steward Wu, immediately responded to the middle-aged lady's arrangement, gestured, and after inviting the old man Dong, he walked to the corridor outside and went to the backyard.

Mrs. Liu saw that Steward Wu had led Old Man Dong down, and Dong Yanzhi chattered for a while, and immediately instructed the maids on both sides to bring tea and water for Dong Yanzhi, wash the dust, and clean up the clothes. After a short while, Dong Yanzhi was dressed up and cleaned up by a group of maids arranged by the middle-aged noblewoman, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, as if she was a different person. It can also be seen that Dong Yanzhi, who was still covered in dust and mud just now, and was dressed in coarse cloth and flowers, has become a slim and radiant fairy like a goddess descending from heaven at this time. It is like a lotus fluttering with water, green and green, and my heart.

Mrs. Liu, who was sitting in the center of the hall, looked at Dong Yanzhi, who had changed into new clothes, dressed neatly, with long flowing hair, and walked out. I couldn't help but take a long breath of cool air, my eyes radiated a misty look, and I said, "My God, Yanzhi, you look so beautiful!! ”
