Chapter 109: First Sight of the Wu Clan
, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the pet farmer little girl! The wind hunted from the ears, and the strange thing was that the speed of the horse was raised, and An Xiu'er didn't feel so uncomfortable, and the two finally came to Minyue County when the city gate was closed.
Unlike the loose management of Changning County, Minyue County has strict management, and when the two of them entered the city gate, there were still people who checked the road guide and interrogated their identities.
She didn't think about it so much, and when she came this time, she didn't go to the government to run a road guide, fortunately, Zhang Zhen'an was there, otherwise, the people guarding the city would not let her in.
Compared to the county seat, this county town is undoubtedly more prosperous, although there are no people on the streets at night, but from the spacious streets, you can think of what kind of traffic should be here during the day.
"This is Min Yuejun?" An Xiu'er couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Zhang Zhenan nodded and said, "There is a curfew here, except for some dark alleys, no one will come out to set up stalls, so it is not as lively as the county seat at night." β
"The streets here are wide and the shops are wide, so it should be very lively during the day." An Xiu'er smiled slightly, she felt that this Minyue County would definitely be very prosperous.
Although it was night, she couldn't see the scene of the county town clearly, but under the moonlight, the tall bluestone buildings stood here quietly, as if telling the longevity of this city, this Minyue City has been built for many years, and when I occasionally heard the villagers talk about this Minyue City, they were all yearning.
"I'll take you out to see it during the day, and we'll go home first at night." Zhang Zhenan said and drove the horse to Zhang's house with kicks and taps.
An Xiu'er couldn't help but be a little nervous, she tried her best to calm down, but thinking that she was about to go to a place she was not familiar with, her heart couldn't help but thump.
"Don't be afraid." Zhang Zhen'an whispered a reassuring word, riding a horse with her around and around, she didn't know where she went, she was dizzy, and when the horse stopped, she had already arrived in front of a big house.
An Xiu'er has never seen such a large mansion, just the wide courtyard door with vermilion inlaid with willow nails is enough to make people marvel, especially the pair of tall town house beasts at the door, which looks like lions but does not seem to be lions, under the illumination of a pair of glass lamps on the eaves, it looks majestic and solemn.
As soon as Zhang Zhenan and the two stopped at the door, a small servant at the door immediately came over, they wanted to interrogate, but as soon as they saw that it was Zhang Zhenan, they immediately bent down and called out respectfully: "The eldest son." β
An Xiu'er leaned on him tightly, and Zhang Zhen'an introduced to them: "This is Madame." β
"Hello ma'am." The two little guys immediately bent down to say hello to An Xiu'er, An Xiu'er looked up at Zhang Zhen'an, Zhang Zhen'an raised his head and motioned for them to get up, but took An Xiu'er into the gate.
Naturally, someone came to lead the horse for the two of them, and a little girl hurriedly went inside to inform Mrs. Zhang.
Entering the door, Zhang Zhen'an's pace was not slow, he led An Xiu'er to walk slowly, on the way, whenever he met the maid and the maid, he kept bowing, and waited for them to pass, before getting up and leaving, looking very well educated.
This posture made An Xiu'er a little worried, but with Zhang Zhen'an by her side, she was also calm.
The two walked a long way, passed through the shadow wall, and then passed through the long corridor of copying hands, and then passed through the hanging flower gate and entered the second gate.
An Xiu'er raised her head and whispered to him, "Xianggong, do you have to walk so far every time you go home?" I guess we've all been gone for a quarter of an hour. β
"Of course not, usually we come in directly through the side door, you can take the carriage then, because you are a first-time visitor, so I want to take you through the gate." Zhang Zhenan replied.
Of course, An Xiu'er knew that the side door was different from the main entrance, and even her heart warmed, and she said, "Thank you." β
"What's the thank you for, it's supposed to be like this, I've already wronged you." Zhang Zhenan said.
The two didn't walk a few steps, and a middle-aged woman wearing camel-colored silk led two maids over, under the light, the golden hairpin on her head was shining, looking at her dress was quite good, An Xiuer was a little suspicious that this was Mrs. Zhang, but she instinctively felt that it was not like it, and she didn't make a sound.
The woman came to the two of them, saluted with them, and said, "The old lady is back, and the old lady is waiting for you." β
"Let's change our clothes and go." Zhang Zhenan said lightly, stretched out his hand to help her, and motioned for the woman to get up.
"The old lady told you to go now." But the woman could not bow down.
"We went all the way, our clothes were unclean, and we went away in trade, for fear that we would not respect our mother." Zhang Zhenan refused.
"It's all a family, and it's okay for the old lady to say it." Although the woman was bowed, there was something indisputable in her words, which meant that she was holding chicken feathers as an arrow.
Zhang Zhen'an glanced at An Xiu'er, An Xiu'er guessed that this woman should be a personal mother-in-law next to the old lady, then what she meant was what the old lady meant, seeing the old lady's posture was really dislike her, presumably even if she went into the house to freshen up, she still wouldn't be able to get her love.
Anyway, sooner or later, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, she thought about it and nodded, and said, "Then let's go see my mother first." β
Zhang Zhenan said to this mother-in-law at this time: "Lead the way ahead." β
Along the way, I passed through many pavilions and pavilions, exquisite murals, carved wooden pillars, although An Xiuer did not squint, but still couldn't help but exclaim, the Zhang family is really very rich, just looking at these buildings can see that it is extraordinary, presumably even if it is a palace, it is like this.
Finally entered a small garden, the woman asked An Xiu'er and the two to wait by the door for the time being, and went in to report by herself, and after the woman entered, Zhang Zhen'an held An Xiu'er's hand and introduced her: "Just now, this woman is my mother's mother Wang's mother, and she has always trusted her. β
"I see, I thought she was my mother, but fortunately I didn't take the initiative to greet her, otherwise, I would definitely be embarrassed." An Xiu'er whispered.
She looked around her and couldn't help but sigh, an ordinary mother-in-law didn't know how many times better she was when she wore it.
"Old lady, please come in." At this time, a little girl came out with her head down.
Zhang Zhenan took An Xiu'er's hand and went in, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he let go of An Xiu'er's hand, but Rao was like this, Wu Shi, who was sitting at the top, still snorted lightly, "What kind of system is it that pulls and pulls." β
An Xiu'er and the two just didn't hear it, and saluted Wu Shi forward, An Xiu'er didn't know how to salute at home, but as usual, she bent over, and then stood aside with her head down, Wu Shi snorted coldly when she saw this: "I don't understand the rules." β
When Zhang Zhenan heard this, he said: "Mother, this is my son's wife An Xiu'er, you just saw it, she doesn't understand the rules, please take care of her on weekdays." β
"You!" Wu was angry enough, she didn't expect that she had always been an old-fashioned and polite son, but now she had learned to climb up the pole.
She glared at Zhang Zhen'an Yi'an, but Zhang Zhen'an looked calm, Wu snorted coldly again, and set his eyes on An Xiu'er, seeing that she was wearing a set of light green cotton clothes, Xu was because of the reason of running all the way, a little Zou Baba, she had an ordinary silver hairpin on her head, and she held a green silk loosely, which looked more shabby than the ordinary girl standing in this hall.
"Raise your head, I'll see." Wu raised her chin, she wanted to see what this girl looked like, she could make his son fascinated, and she worked tirelessly to pick her up in person.
An Xiu'er raised her head carefully, just in front of Wu's face, Wu's maintenance is very good, her hair is full of pearls, her face is appliquΓ© yellow, she is wearing a silk luo and a treasure belt on her arm, she has not been able to look up at her appearance when she came in, she thought that the old lady in their mouth was a gray-haired old grandmother, but she never thought that it was a graceful and luxurious woman.
An Xiu'er was still fascinated by Wu's appearance, but at this time, she heard Wu's soft snort, "That's it." β
Her voice was like a pearl striking each other, mellow and elegant, and if you ignore the two traces of disdain in her tone, it is actually very good.
An Xiuer guessed that her age should be more than forty and half, and such a woman in the farm family had already been changed by a ruin, but the years did not leave too many traces on her face, An Xiuer never knew that a woman of this age could still be like this,, rich and still existing.
She couldn't help but feel a little inferior in the face of her, although she was young, but the old lady in front of her was more charming than her, she was like a peony in full bloom, and the other flowers lined with were gloomy.
She looked around, in addition to Zhang Zhen'an and the old lady, there were many other maids and women in the house, they were half-hanging their heads in a regular manner, and they couldn't see what they looked like, but they were all white and tender, slim, and every one of them was more gorgeous than her.
She felt like a lost little beast that had strayed into a place that didn't belong to her, and that she was two worlds from the person in front of her.
Zhang Zhenan saw that An Xiu'er was a little uneasy and worried about her, so he said, "Mother, if there is nothing to do, we will leave first." β
"It's so hard to come back, have you forgotten to accompany me more? As the old saying goes, if you don't stay in the middle, you will marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother. Wu snorted coldly, his tone dissatisfied and tough.
Zhang Zhenan had to stand in place again.
Wu Shi said, "You go and sit on the side, and I'll talk to me, a girl from the countryside." β
She specially pointed out a few words from the countryside, and the disdain between her words was not disguised, although An Xiu'er felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she also straightened her waist and accepted Wu's scrutiny.
In her heart, although Wu is beautifully dressed and is a real city person, she is not really inferior to her as a countryman, she does not ask for her wealth, her heart is naturally open, and she has already thought about this situation on the road before, and she also discussed it with Zhang Zhenan, and came to the conclusion that she should talk less.
So she still didn't say a word, letting Wu's needle-like gaze probe around her, but her heart became more and more indifferent.
Wu Shi took the teacup handed over by the maid, took a sip lightly, and then said casually: "What do you do at home on weekdays?" β
"Before I got out of the cabinet, I did what my father and mother asked me to do, and after I got out of the cabinet, I did whatever my husband asked me to do." An Xiu'er lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes.
"No dignity!" Wu snorted coldly, he never thought that An Xiu'er was such a soft character, "Listen to others in everything, if others let you die, what should you do?" β
"No, they are none other than my relatives." An Xiu'er raised her head and explained seriously: "My mother taught me since I was a child that my husband is my wife, my father at home, and my husband when I marry. β
"You mean I'm not following the rules?" Wu frowned, and his hand holding the teacup tightened.
An Xiu'er raised her head and smiled shyly, but she didn't answer her words.
When Wu Shi saw her like this, she was angry in her heart, but she also felt that she had no hair, she glanced at Zhang Zhen'an, and said, "Zhen'an, you just married such a woman?" If you want to be an obedient woman, there are many in our family, why bother with her! β
Zhang Zhenan only shrugged his shoulders and did not argue.
Wu Shi punched hard, but it hit the cotton, not to mention how uncomfortable it was, she wanted to find An Xiu'er's shortcomings, but she let her knead it, she felt more and more bored, and the flower hall fell into silence.
In the middle of the ring, she waved her hand impatiently and motioned for the two to leave, but she was stingy to say one more word.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhenan and the others only saluted silently and went out.
As soon as she walked out of the flower hall, An Xiu'er showed a sly smile with Zhang Zhen'an, and Zhang Zhen'an also lowered her head and smiled at her, saying, "My mother is actually not so terrifying." β
"Well, it's not scary." An Xiu'er nodded.
In fact, these ladies are easier to get along with than those old women who are splashing and rolling around in the countryside because they have to pay attention to their faces, and they like to talk around the bush and hide needles in their mouths, as long as they are thick-skinned, they don't seem so terrible.
An Xiu'er thought that she had already understood the Wu family, and she had already thought of a way to deal with the Wu family in her heart, she looked up at Zhang Zhen'an, and felt that such a terrible person as Zhang Zhen'an had been dealt with by her in the past, and it should be okay for a mere Wu family.
People's hearts are long, as long as they are sincere and sincerely good for her, maybe one day, she will let go of the door.
