Chapter 70: Arrival in Wu
After two lives, Xiahou Yu came to Gusu for the first time.
In his previous life, Xiao Huan became the Great Sima, Xiao Huan's mother Wu and younger brothers lived in Gusu City, but his uncles and brothers all moved to Jiankang one by one. Later, Xiao Xing got married, she thought that the wedding would be held in Gusu, at that time she had already moved out of the Xiao family, and she was unwilling to get too close to the Xiao family anymore, thinking about whether to find an excuse to politely refuse to participate in Xiao Xing's wedding, who knew that Xiao Xing's wedding was held in Jiankang City.
After Xiao Xing got married, just when she thought that Xiao Xing and the Wu family would stay in Jiankang City, Xiao Xing and the Wu family returned to Gusu.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Yu thought of Xiao Xing's wife.
The little lady of the Wei family of Chen Jun, who gave birth to her first child and died in childbirth.
I don't know if she can escape the fate of her previous life in this life!
Just like her brother, she had obviously turned the tide and helped him survive the catastrophe on Zhongshan Mountain, but he died a few days later. is like Cui Qi Niangzi, she has obviously helped Cui Qi Niangzi get rid of the fate of her previous life, but she also plunged into the rapids after the election.
Xiahou Yu sighed secretly in his heart
Xiao Xing saw that her face was not good, and thought that it was because of the tiring boat, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, eldest princess, our house is very close to here, and we can get there in an hour at most." Xiao Jin had already gotten the news and arranged the room. The eldest princess can rest when she arrives at home. ”
Xiahou Yu nodded and smiled at him, and said, "Don't you need to visit the elders first?" ”
"Brother said he would go again tomorrow." Xiao Xing said, looking towards Xiao Huan.
The officials and celebrities in Gusu all knew that Xiao Huan had returned to his hometown today and was waiting at the dock early. At this time, he was greeting Xiao Huan. Xiao Huan smiled and talked to them, his face was full of joy, which was very different from the smile in Jiankang City, which seemed to be measured, more flamboyant and less dull.
This is Xiao Huan's real smile, right?
Xiahou Yu followed Xiao Xing's gaze and quickly withdrew his gaze.
In her previous life, she didn't have the opportunity to see Xiao Huan smile like this, but in this life, many things have changed, and her relationship with Xiao Huan will also change, right?
Xiahou Yu followed behind Wu, supported by Du Hui, and got into the calf cart.
The ancestral house of the Xiao family is east of Gusu City, occupying a very large piece of land, from the wall courtyard of the ancestral house of the Xiao family to the main gate, the calf cart walked for about half an hour.
Du Hui lifted the curtain of the car and whispered to Xiahou Yu: "The Xiao family is worthy of being a giant in Wuzhong, and the wall courtyard is snow-white. ”
Xiahou Yu didn't say anything.
Because the treasury was empty, the palace wall of Xianyang Palace was still powdered once during Xiahou Yu's wedding.
She suspected that the Xiao family's wall courtyard was also powdered when they got married.
When you enter the door, you will be greeted by a welcoming pine tree with a height of about one foot or more. Its branches are strong, the branches and leaves extend more than two feet, and the crown of the tree is pruned into a mass and piled on the branches, like green auspicious clouds dotted in between.
Xiahou Yu was shocked.
The welcome pine grows slowly, usually two feet tall in five or six years, not to mention that the branches can reach out so far and the crown can be pruned so well. There is no decade that cannot be done.
She looked around.
The front is the hall of the Xiao family, the door is open, and it is not clear what is enshrined inside. According to Xiahou Yu's experience, it should be within the imperial court's reward for some playthings or the appointment letter of the scholar in the family, and the holy decree of the official. On both sides are pavilions and pavilions, among which weeping willows, locust trees, paulownia trees, ginkgo biloba and other trees are planted, which looks lush and vibrant.
She retracted her gaze and saw that Wu was talking to a man in Tsing Yi who was about forty years old.
He has an elegant appearance and a moderate demeanor, if it weren't for the fact that Xiahou Yu had dealt with him a lot in his previous life, and knowing him was Xiao Jin, the chief steward of the Xiao family, I am afraid that he would mistakenly think that he was a guest of the Xiao family.
Seeing Xiahou Yu's gaze fall on him, Xiao Jin hurriedly bowed slightly towards Xiahou Yu to show respect.
Wu knew from Xiao Jin's reaction that Xiahou Yu was following, turned around and beckoned to her with a smile, introduced Xiao Jin to her, and said: "Steward Xiao's father was also the chief steward of the mansion, and Grand Steward Xiao was your lord's retinue when he was young, so if you have anything to do with him, you can directly order him." I believe he can do it. ”
This is to tell her that Xiao Jin is a decent servant in the Xiao family.
In his previous life, when Xiao Huan was not at home, all the affairs of the Xiao Mansion in Jiankang City were presided over by Xiao Jin, including sending gifts and congratulating those family lords in Jiankang City, which was not something that an ordinary chief steward could do.
Xiahou Yu didn't mean to snub the chief steward.
Xiao Jin was a little surprised, but he hid it well and did not let Xiahou Yu find out, but gave Xiahou Yu a big salute with a more respectful attitude than usual. He also introduced a few stewards behind him to Xiahou Yu.
There were two or three Xiahou Yu who knew, and most of them she didn't know. I don't know if these people have been living with the Wu family and Xiao Xing in Gusu's hometown in their previous lives, or if they have been eliminated. But those familiar faces Xiahou Yu were impressed-the people who could still stand firm in the Xiao Mansion after ten years were all people with some ability.
After seeing several important stewards of the Xiao family, Xiao Jin personally led the Wu family and Xiahou Yu to the calf cart in the mansion.
This time, Wu and Xiahou Yu sat in a car.
Skirting the main hall, they headed inside.
Wu personally pointed to the pavilions on the side of the road and introduced it to her: "...... In the southeast corner is the ancestral hall. Behind the ancestral hall is the Academy...... Behind the main hall is the main courtyard, where you and Ah Huan live. Behind the main courtyard is the garden...... Next to the garden is the Ci'en Hall where I live, in front of the Ci'en Hall is Ah Xing's house, and further on, there is a martial arts hall, and in front of the martial arts hall is the stable. Their father likes horses, and has several horses at home, and since he was a child, he likes to take Ah Huan and Ah Xing to ride horses. Once upon a time your lordship used to run horses there. Further west of the racecourse, there are group houses of the lower people, and behind them are mountains and trees, and the scenery over there is better. There are reeds, sand, lake pavilions, and a hill, so if you are free, let Ah Huan accompany you to take a look. ”
Xiahou Yu smiled and soon arrived at the main courtyard.
It is said to be a courtyard, but in fact, there are more than a dozen courtyards of large and small layers.
Wu stood in the beautifully landscaped courtyard and sighed: "When your eldest duke was alive, I hoped that Ah Huan and Ah Xing could get married as soon as possible, spread branches for the Xiao family, and fill up these large and small courtyards. I never thought ......"
As she spoke, she burst into tears.
Xiahou Yu was at a loss.
Empress Wenxuan's sadness was forbearance and restraint, she had never cried like Wu, and she didn't know how to appease Wu.
Fortunately, the close grandmother next to Wu handed over the handkerchief and persuaded Wu in a low voice: "What are you doing?" The eldest princess entered the door, Da Langjun became a parent, and Erlang Jun is also a talent, and he has achieved success in his studies, if the lord is here, I don't know how happy I am? What do you think in your lord's heart? ”
Wu nodded, stopped crying with sobs, glanced at Xiahou Yu in a daze, and said, "I, I can't control it for a while!" ”
