Chapter 20 First Arrival in the Qin Mansion
Different from the exquisite and beautiful architecture in the south of the Yangtze River, the north is completely different! Whether it is a building or a landscape, it has a magnificent and majestic feeling! Especially in Kyoto, where the ships have not yet docked, you can already hear the loud shouts, and through the windows, you can see the scenery on both sides of the strait! Heavy walls, flying eaves, and rows of various buildings occupy the scenery on both sides of the strait! Everywhere reveals a kind of boldness, a kind of atmosphere!
In the cabin, Mu Qingya was sitting with Qin Yue.
"Ya'er, the boat will dock in a while, your grandmother will definitely have someone come to pick us up, it's just that the Qin family is a big family, and you pay attention to rules in everything you say and do, you ......"
Mu Qingya held Qin Yue's slightly sweaty hand and said, "Mother, don't worry, I have practiced etiquette with Mama Zhou, and I will never make any mistakes to make people laugh, you can rest assured!" ”
Qin Yue smiled reluctantly, she also knew that she was too nervous, but the closer she got to Kyoto, the more her heart couldn't calm down! The Qin family, the family that frightened and frightened her, if she could, she definitely didn't want her daughter to take a step, just ......
"Madam, Miss, the ship has docked, and the people sent by the Qin Mansion to greet you are already waiting at the dock!" Mama Zhou replied softly.
Seeing Qin Yue's even more unnatural look, Mu Qingya sighed and stepped forward to hold her arm: "Mother, Qingya promised her father before she came that she would take good care of you, so don't worry, nothing will happen!" Mother doesn't have to be so nervous! ”
Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, seeing those calm eyes, her mood relaxed slightly, she was really useless, she actually asked her daughter to turn over and comfort herself, it was really undeserved: "Ya'er don't worry, mother is fine, let's go down!" ”
Mu Qingya nodded: "Okay!" ”
The big boat has stopped on the shore, the bridge board is on the dock, Mama Zhou led six maids and six small maids to take the lead down, checked the plank is really fine, and then sent a maid ring back to invite someone, and she waited respectfully on the shore!
Mama Gui seemed to be waiting respectfully on the shore, but she was quite disdainful in her heart, she was an old man in the Qin Mansion, and she knew everything about the past, this Qin Yue was quite a concubine who was not welcomed, and she was married to the down-and-out Tanhualang at that time because of her disfigurement, she originally saw that Mu Yizhi was incompetent, but she didn't expect the old woman to look away, he actually climbed all the way to the position of the third-grade official, and he didn't take him seriously, but he didn't want him to be suddenly noticed by the emperor this time, Otherwise, I'm afraid that this Qin Yue will not have the opportunity to step into the Qin Mansion again in this life!
Seeing Mama Zhou leading people down, she was even more angry, Mama Zhou didn't protect Qin Yue this time, otherwise she didn't know how many times she died, but she didn't expect her to die: "Mama Zhou? Oh, it's really you, but remember me? ”
Mama Zhou looked surprised: "You are Mama Gui, oops, I haven't seen you for many years, I almost didn't recognize it!" ”
"It's not like we're all old!"
Seeing that Mama Gui looked surprised, she seemed to forget that there were still Mrs. and Miss waiting for her to greet her, Mama Zhou was not angry, but this Mama Gui was the person next to the old lady, and she couldn't be too faceless, so she could only remind: "Madame has also missed the old lady all these years, and I received a letter from the old lady this time, but I was very surprised!" ”
Mama Gui clapped her hands: "Look at me, I was only worried about the surprise, I almost forgot about business, hurry up, don't stand still, I haven't come to greet Mrs. Mu and Miss Mu!" ”
Qin Yue, who had just walked to the side of the boat, was stunned when she heard Mama Gui's title, and then showed a wry smile, she was obviously the young lady of the Qin Mansion, but she was called Mrs. Mu by estrangement, since she was not treated like this, why did she invite her to the Qin family!
"Mother, let's go!" The corners of her mouth raised a light arc, and Mu Qingya helped Qin Yue to walk to the dock!
Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and then relieved, she should have given up on the Qin family as early as the moment she got married, and it was no longer her home, and she still cared about a title: "Hmm." ”
Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling followed behind them, their expressions were slightly cramped, and when they saw the people of the Qin family standing on the dock to greet them in a proper manner, they felt less resentful in their hearts for Mu Qingya for letting Mama Zhou teach them etiquette, fortunately they studied seriously, otherwise it would be a joke this time!
Seeing Qin Yue and Mu Jingya's mother and daughter walking down, Mama Gui was shocked, after years of immersion, Qin Yue is no longer a simple girl with beauty back then, the life in Jiangnan has smoothed out the edges and corners of her time in Kyoto, and plated her with a layer of gentleness and calmness, and a dark red cloud smoke fine pattern Luo shirt made her add a bit of momentum!
Before she had time to take a closer look, Qin Yue's mother and daughter had already walked down, and Mama Gui hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Mrs. Mu and Miss Mu!" ”
"Mama doesn't need to be polite!" Qin Yue looked at the woman in front of her, and a trace of disgust quickly flashed in her eyes!
"Thank you, Mrs. Mu!" Mama Gui raised her head at this time, "The sedan chair is ready, please Mrs. and Miss get on the sedan chair!" The old lady has been waiting at home for a long time! ”
Qin Yue nodded, and sent Mama Zhou to watch the people move the salute, and then walked to the place where the sedan chair was located with Mu Qingya! Mama Gui looked at Mu Qingya's back, her eyes were full of surprise, she had been in the Qin Mansion for so long, she had seen a lot of young ladies, but she always felt that this Mu Qingya was different from others, and she had an indescribable momentum on her!
Helping Qin Yue to sit in the sedan chair, Mu Qingya walked to the sedan chair behind, and just wanted to go in, she suddenly felt a sight, slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, but a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes. Le Qi asked a little strangely: "Miss?" ”
"It's okay! Let's go! ”
Upstairs in the wind, Duanmu Lingyu held the hand of the wine glass for a moment, and then laughed, this time it was really not in vain, I didn't expect that girl to be so sensitive, she could feel it in one of her eyes. Wei Xi on the side was stunned for a moment: "Master, you ran out early in the morning just to see Miss Mu?" ”
Duanmu Lingyu glanced at him: "You know too much!" ”
Wei Xi smiled, and hurriedly moved to the side: "The slave doesn't know anything, I don't know!" ”
"Hmph, okay, let's go back, my third emperor brother asked me to drink today! Don't be late! ”
"Yes, master!"
The attendant carried the sedan chair for more than half an hour, and the noise around it slowly faded away, and the voice of Le Qi sounded: "Miss, it's almost there!" ”
"Hmm!" After responding lightly, Mu Qingya looked around through the gap in the sedan curtain, this is already a place where Kyoto officials live, ordinary people can't come here, so it's extraordinarily quiet, the environment is even better, I don't know how much, there are a lot of flower beds separated by the roadside, planted with green willow trees, adding a lot of interest to the clean and wide street!
The sedan chair walked forward and stopped in front of a particularly conspicuous building, two mighty stone lions stood on both sides of the door, and behind it a solemn foyer stood majestically, two dark red ironwood doors were closed, and the door leaf was inlaid with a hideous bronze turtle and snake auxiliary head, and two copper rings were inlaid in it!
Looking at the closed main door, Mu Qingya's eyes flashed, and she lowered the sedan curtain!
The sedan chair entered the Qin Mansion from the side door next to it, paused for half an hour for a moment, and then set off again, turning three or four times before finally stopping!
After the sedan chair stopped, Yahuan immediately greeted her: "It's Mrs. Mu and Miss Mu who are here!" ”
Leqin and Leqi stood on both sides of Mu Qingya's sedan chair, and Lan Xiang stepped forward to open the sedan door but was stopped by Leqi! Lan Xiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her face was a little bad.
Le Qi didn't care at all, and after bowing to the sedan chair, he whispered: "Miss, it's here!" Please get out of the car! After speaking, he didn't move, and didn't open the car door with both hands until Mu Qingya answered lightly! The two Leqin on the side hurriedly stepped forward to help Mu Qingya out!
Lan Xiang took a deep breath and froze in place, until Mu Qingya glanced at her, and then saluted: "I've seen Miss Mu!" ”
Mu Qingya nodded, saw that Qin Yue also got off the sedan chair, walked over and helped her to meet the old lady under the leadership of Yahuan!
Lan Xiang followed beside her, the more she looked at it, the more surprised she became, she never thought that this Miss Mu family would have such a bearing, there was a smile on her face but people didn't feel any smile, but it didn't make her face look cold and hard, which not only made people dare not underestimate but also showed noble alienation everywhere, this kind of performance was one point better than Qin Jin, the eldest lady of the Qin family!
Mu Qingya and his entourage walked towards the courtyard where the old lady was, along the way, Yahuan and mother-in-law stopped to salute when they saw them, their eyes were full of curiosity and concern, Mu Jinglan and Mu Shiling were a little uncomfortable, although they lived like a fish in water in Linjiang City, but they had never seen such a battle in real terms! The beautiful scenery of the Qin family has already overwhelmed them, the magnificent buildings, the colorful flowers and plants, and the smart and beautiful landscapes all make them feel at a loss! Fortunately, Mu Qingya was in front of them, looking at her indifferent appearance, they were also a little relieved, otherwise they didn't have to lose their temper!
After walking for a cup of tea, I finally arrived at the courtyard of the old lady Feng, and before I walked in, I heard laughter. Mama Gui said: "Madam, Miss, this is the old lady's yard, the eldest lady must be here at this time, and only the eldest lady can make the old lady smile so happily!" ”
Qin Yue: "Yes, I think it should be Jin'er's niece?" ”
"Yes, it's Miss Qin Jin, speaking of which, the eldest lady is two years older than Miss Mu, the two must get along!" Mama Gui was smiling.
Mu Qingya responded lightly: "Hmm! ”
Mama Gui was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her to answer like this, she raised her eyes to see that she was just facing Mu Qingya's cold and waveless eyes, and that penetrating look made her heart jump suddenly, and she quickly lowered her head! Suddenly came back to her senses, her face was even more ugly, she didn't expect that she would be frightened by the eyes of a twelve-year-old girl, but recalling that glance just now, she still felt palpitations, fortunately at this time, the maid next to the old lady came over: "The slave has seen Mrs. Mu and Miss Mu, the old lady has been waiting for a long time, please Mrs. and Miss go in!" ”
Qin Yue exhaled slowly and walked into the door!
