Because of Chen Huan's injury, the carriage convoy moved forward unhurriedly. The air between Xia Zhi and Chen Huan has always been cold, and it seems that after tearing off the disguise, the two of them have tacitly separated themselves. But in front of Chen Heng, he was able to heat up quickly, and perform an atmosphere of you and me, so back and forth, Xia Zhi felt that he was about to refine.

After walking for a few days, I finally arrived safely in Anyang City, which is the city where the Chen family's house is located. Along the way, the summer solstice is wilted, just like a broad-leaved plant in the middle of summer that has not been watered for many days and has to endure the torment of the scorching sun. First, I was in a bad mood and didn't have the heart to act all the way, and secondly, I couldn't bear this way of hurrying, and even got motion sickness, so I could only endure the discomfort and suffer all the way. When he finally saw the Anyang City Gate from afar, Xia Zhi's mood might be even more excited than the other two people who returned home.

Anyang City is one of the best big cities, and Tongzhen is not the same. Just a city gate can show its grandeur and prosperity. The city gates are wide open, business travelers are constantly coming, and the dialects of different places are endless, which shows the all-encompassing nature of this city. The stone-paved main road is straight and flat, the busy streets are lined with shops, and the customers are constantly flowing, and the bustle is not too noisy, and the transactions of all parties are carried out in an orderly manner. Pedestrians on both sides of the road come and go, although there is a gap between the rich and the poor, most of them are dressed decently and neatly, whether they are strolling or hurrying, they are walking upright and straight, and they have their own dignity and momentum. If you look at the city through people, you can also get a glimpse of its rich heritage.

Xia Zhi has seen the lively scene of Tongzhen rushing to the market, and Anyang City is always in a prosperous state when rushing to the market, and even surpassing it. Not to mention that there are many novel things that Xia Solstice has never seen before, which makes her heart itch, and she can't wait to jump out of the carriage and walk from the street to the end of the street to satisfy her curiosity.

The carriage turned into a side road, although it is not as prosperous and lively as the main road, but there is no shortage of what should be, and the facilities are readily available, but there is more of the taste of seeking tranquility in the downtown area. The Chen family's mansion is on this side road.

The gate of the Chen family's mansion looks simple and atmospheric, with a black gold silk nanmu plaque hanging on the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, and the word "Chen Mansion" is held squarely, and two majestic stone lions stand on both sides of the gate. The white walls and gray tiles protect the courtyard, and the green willows add vitality to the surrounding area, and the pavilions and pavilions behind the walls are faintly visible, and I don't know what kind of scenery is inside.

The convoy stopped before driving to the gate of Chen's house, and there were already small maids waiting in front of the door, shouting to open the gate, and a group of small maids and maids greeted them. Chen Heng and Chen Huan got out of the carriage one after another, and entered the door with the support of everyone, and the laughter and laughter all the way were very lively and warm.

When Xia Zhi also wanted to get out of the car, suddenly the coachman drove and the carriage started again. Xia Solstice sat back in the carriage, extremely embarrassed. What's going on, such a big living person won't be ignored. After stabilizing his figure, he opened the curtain and asked, "What's the matter, I haven't gotten out of the car yet." 】

There was an aunt in her thirties sitting next to the coachman, looked back at her, and replied in a cold tone, "It's not yet where you should get off the car, just wait quietly, what are you yelling about." 】

[Huh? What do you call where I should get off the bus? I'm with Chen Huan and them! Xia Zhi saw that the carriage had deviated from the main gate of the Chen family for some distance, where was she going to be taken.

[So the people who come out of the small place just don't understand the rules, what is your identity, and you can enter from the main gate with the young masters? ] It is already the grace of Madame to let you in and out through the side door! The aunt rolled her eyes widely, and the tone was obviously sarcastic.

Master? Madam? Xia Zhi can probably guess the origin of the person in front of him. It is estimated that he is a servant of the Chen family who serves Chen Huan's mother, and he doesn't need to do heavy work anymore when he gets some heavy use, he just needs to hold his hands and direct others to work. Seeing that the aunt is plump to middle-aged, her clothes are indeed much more decent than those of ordinary maids, and she can probably mix into a steward position.

From her words, it can be known that Mrs. Chen already knows that she is from the land of fireworks, so she came to such a dismount. Xia Zhi doesn't know everyone's rules very well, and I don't know if this front door and side door really exist or if it only appeared for her, the only thing that can be confirmed is that Mrs. Chen is extremely prejudiced against her, and it is estimated that there will be no good fruit to eat.

The summer solstice has just arrived, and if you are not familiar with life, don't make trouble first, try to find out the specific situation in a low profile and then make plans, so I won't say more, see walking.

Fortunately, the carriage soon stopped again, and the aunt took the lead in getting out of the carriage, urging Xia Zhidao, [The side door has arrived, hurry up and get out of the car, don't bother to show anyone!] 】

Xia Zhi took a deep breath, this is obviously finding fault, or such a naked sarcastic way. endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky, who let her be regarded as a send-off now, she can only swallow her anger.

[It's down.] The summer solstice quickly jumped off the carriage and behaved.

The side door is much smaller than the main entrance, and there is not even a plaque, just an extra door that is opened here for the convenience of entering and exiting. There are no shops on the left and right, only three or five pedestrians or pickers hurriedly walk by, which can be said to be quite quiet.

The aunt quickly looked at Xia Zhi, her eyes were undisguised as if she was ordering something, and then she impatiently combed her hair and said, "Follow me. 】

[Yes.] Xia Zhi has been bowing his head and maintaining a humble posture, but in fact, his eyes have been dripping and rolling secretly. You still have to remember where you came from, in case you need it one day.

Maybe it's the low eyebrows of the summer solstice that make the aunt very useful, and the feeling of-for-tat is less, but there is still no temperature, [I am the steward who waits beside the lady, you can call our steward in the future, now I will take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here. Follow, don't make me wait for you. 】

The aunt walked in front, her body was steady but fast, and she briefly introduced, [Our Chen family compound has a total of three courtyards, including the east courtyard and the west courtyard. The location we are in now is the West Courtyard, that is, the courtyard of Young Master Huan, in the future, you can only move in the West Courtyard, without the order of the old lady, don't go to other courtyards casually. 】

Oh, I see. Xia Zhi agreed, because she walked very fast, and the winding road made her quickly lost, so she could only follow the pace of her aunt so as not to get lost. The cloister pavilion in the west courtyard, the small bridge and flowing water, or the grass and stone farmhouse or the exotic flowers and plants, can only be slowly appreciated and tasted in the future.
