The housekeeper who greeted them greeted them for a while, and then led everyone to the inner house, as soon as they entered the gate, the front yard was full of people, and the attendant came early to report, knowing that the old man was back, and was waiting here early.

Seeing a few people coming into the house, everyone waiting bowed their heads and saluted, "Welcome home to the master of the family." ”

The old man waved his hand and said, "Excuse me." A group of people waited for the courtesy to stand upright, and at this time three people came towards him, and saw a middle-aged man in a yellow brocade dress and two beautiful women in dignified clothes come to pay their respects. "Ruwu, Zhang, and Liu visited their father. ”

The old man nodded, motioning for them to excuse themselves. Holding Wang Lianqing's hand, Su Su suddenly let go, he happily ran to the beautiful woman who called Liu just now, happily hugged the beautiful woman's hand and said, "Mother, I'm back, Su Su misses you." ”

The beautiful woman smiled and took her by the hand and said, "Su Su is finally back, my mother misses you too, let my mother take a good look at it later, and go to say hello to your second uncle and aunt first." ”

"Good!"

Let go of the beautiful woman's hand, walked up to the second uncle and aunt in a regular manner, bowed respectfully, and said, "Second uncle and second aunt, Su Su greets you." Seeing Su Su's appearance, the two smiled, and Zhang said to Su Su: "Be good, don't be polite." ”

Su Su stepped back and walked back to her mother with an "um", and took her mother's hand affectionately. After the uncle and aunt greeted Su Su's father, Liu led Su Su to his father's side together, shh

Wang Lianqing looked at everyone with curious eyes on him, he lowered his head embarrassedly, he had never seen so many people in a big family, there were dozens of people who came to meet him, there must be people and servants who did not come, like this, there are more than so many people.

When the old man saw that everyone was about to greet each other, he asked Second Uncle Su Su: "Ruwu, why don't you see my grandson?"

"Back to my father, I have a college exam today, and I haven't come back yet. Su Ruwu returned.

"Oh, no wonder. Let's let everyone disperse first, you two rooms follow me to the inner hall to welcome the living room, I have something to say. ”

"Yes," the crowd should come.

Passing through the opposite hall, I came to a large inner courtyard, the courtyard was paved with bluestone slabs on the ground, and there were several mud floors around it, planted with low-hanging evergreen trees, and a few potted plants placed in the vacant space, and a few seasonal flowers, delicate stone lamps, decorated with pleasing people, and the plaque in the living room was slowly shining in the light.

Entering the hall, the plaque in the middle of the hall mentions the words "sea and all rivers", the pen is sharp, and the momentum is majestic. There is also a wooden wall under the plaque, which is engraved with cursive script of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, which is fascinating. Six Chinese lanterns are hung on the beam, the ground is delicate hand-embroidered pattern carpet, the ebony square table coffee table, a pot of immortal pine potted plants is placed behind the square table of the main seat, and the flower table on both sides of the main seat is placed with the blooming orchids of the basin, the fragrance is full, and everything is exquisite.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, the honorable people sat down, and some people were optimistic about the tea.

The old man who sat in the first place, took a sip of tea, put it down, and said lightly to the person: "This time I went north, and on the way back, I met the enemy, and even Xiaoqing's grandfather was killed, and I was entrusted, I worshiped him under the door of the long house, and ordered Ruwen to be his father-in-law, and enter my family tree, and then be a family, you must treat him well." ”

When the people heard this, they understood, and they agreed.

"Qing'er, come and meet the elders of the family you haven't seen before. ”

Wang Lianqing, who was sitting at the end of the seat next to Su Su, got up, saluted the three people he had never seen one by one and said, "Wang Lianqing has seen his mother-in-law, second uncle, and second aunt. Seeing Wang Lianqing's polite appearance, the three of them were quite satisfied, so he didn't have to be polite.

"Butler, serve tea. ”

After a while, the next person brought tea, the housekeeper was waiting on the side, and the old man said: "Qing'er, serve tea to your stepmother, uncle and aunt, and from then on this is your home, live in peace." ”

"Yes, Grandpa. After speaking, he knelt down to the three of them and offered tea, and Wang Lianqing became a member of the Su family.

"You don't have a chance to see your brothers and sisters today, so I'll visit them when I have time," the old man added.

"It's Grandpa. Wang Lianqing replied.

Wang Lianqing returned to his position, the old man asked the second uncle Su Ruwu some business situation, tea kung fu, the old man asked the housekeeper to take Wang Lianqing to find a place to stay, and familiar with the environment, everyone dispersed, parting Su Su let Wang Lianqing have a good rest, the next day to go to him to play, Wang Lianqing agreed.

Say goodbye to my father-in-law and mother-in-law and Su Su, and follow the old housekeeper to the Su family's compound.

Wang Lianqing followed the housekeeper Lao Wu to walk for an hour, passing by the white walls of various ancient gardens, stepping into the pavilions and courtyards, passing through the antique corridor of the curved column, seeing the rockery spring lake intersecting with each other, the jasper clear steps winding path through the secluded, the leaves and lotus flowers are full of eyes, and the ancient trees are full of charm.

Wang Lianqing felt that the courtyard of this large family was magnificent, with mountains and rocks as the scenery, mountains and rivers, and mountains and rivers. The green water lingers outside the garden, the rockery and strange rocks in the garden are craggy, and the flowers and trees of the landscape garden are integrated, and the scenery is picturesque. A large number of carvings, steles, and rubbing diamonds in the park are ingenious, and the plaques, couplets, calligraphy and painting are majestic and lifelike;

After a stroll, Wang Lianqing felt that the yard could not be walked to the end, although he visited such a big garden at one time, but roughly he was still clear, the Su family is divided into five gardens, the long landlord garden is the Chaolai Garden, the second room West Garden Shanhe Garden, the back garden is the old man's residence, for the Wangyuan, and the East Garden and the back garden are separated by the Leji Garden, which is for the visitors to live, and the garden separated by the West Garden and the back garden is the miscellaneous garden, which is the servant and the miscellaneous servant live, Wang Lianqing remembered what he thought: "Looking at the mountains and rivers in the court?"

There is a hall through the hall between the gardens, countless rooms in each garden are miscellaneous, the backyard of the living room is the back garden, the rockery strange stones, the stone bridge pavilion, the flowers and trees are dazzling, each garden is through the back garden, there is a garden in each garden, just like a small back garden, the ground chisel water potential is all through, criss-crossed.

Wang Lianqing worships Su Ruwen as his father-in-law, he is a person in the long house, the old housekeeper took Wang Lianqing into the East Garden, Wang Lianqing found the small courtyard of Qingsi Pavilion in the East Garden as his residence, although the courtyard is smaller than other courtyards, but it is very quiet, the courtyard is full of bamboo, and there are all kinds of flowers, full of vitality, such as quiet, very suitable.

Arrange Wang Lianqing, the housekeeper retired, and told him that he had a good rest today, and would arrange for someone to come and serve him later, Wang Lianqing thanked the Wu housekeeper, Wang Lianqing went upstairs, looked at the house was very clean, the ventilation was very good, the house was very bright, very satisfied, opened the door of the attic, took a chair to the porch, leaned on it, maybe bumpy all the way, too tired, and fell asleep after a while. I don't know how long, I vaguely heard the sound of someone walking upstairs, woke up slightly, and saw that the sun had tilted to the west, and then I heard someone knocking on the door, and said in a loud voice: "Young Master Qing, I am waiting for the housekeeper's order to come to serve the young master." ”

Thinking that this was the subordinate who the butler had arranged to come and serve him, he said, "Oh, the door is not closed, you can come in." ”

Wang Lianqing stood up and walked into the house, only to see two men and two women, both of whom were subordinates wearing servant clothes. Everyone who entered the house saw Wang Lianqing bowing their heads and saluting him, "I've seen Young Master Qing." ”

Wang Lianqing waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this in the future, let's be rude, put down the things first, and come and talk to me." ”

"It's the young master!" everyone excused themselves, hung the two sets of new clothes they had brought, hung them on the clothes hangers, and put the washbasin and handkerchief on the dresser, and came over to stand up.

Wang Lianqing saw the four of them, they were all very young, at most two or three years older than him, they looked very clean, looking at their very restrained appearance, it was estimated that this wealthy family was very strict in discipline, and the subordinates were very restrained, and they seemed to be very impersonal. He said to them, "I don't have to be so restrained when I see me in the future, and I will look angry." ”

Hearing Wang Lianqing's words, the four of them were slightly curious in their hearts, this young master is so strange, although they have also seen various young masters, the most difficult to serve is the eldest prince of the second room, the subordinate made a slight mistake, and the attendants were beaten and scolded for a long time, and the servants didn't dare to say a word, I didn't expect this young master to be so good at talking, and he was also quite curious about him.

Looking at the kind young master looking at them, the head male attendant said: "Young master, the four of us will be the young master's personal attendants in the future, and the four of us will be responsible for everything in the young master, and the young master will tell us anything in the future." ”

"Oh, that's right. "I thought that the young lady of a big family was happy, but I also pity these servants who serve their masters. Wang Lianqing remembered something and asked, "What are your names?"

The four of them bowed to the first time to introduce "the servant and the noble, the servant and the an, the maid and maid Luxiu, and the slave and maid Luyan have seen the young master." ”

"Okay, you don't need to salute, your name is very troublesome, I will call you Agui, A'an, Axiu, Ayan, my name is Wang Lianqing. Wang Lianqing said to the four of them.

"It's the young master. ”

"I've been coming south for a few days, I'm quite tired, you guys help me boil some water, I want to bathe. ”

The four of them agreed to retreat, estimating that they had already prepared, and after a while, they called hot water, and the compartment on the second floor was a bathing place, Wang Lianqing got the water in them, and went in to bathe, and the two girls followed him in, wanting to help him undress and bathe, so scared that Wang Lianqing's face was red, and he drove them out in embarrassment, so that the two girls looked at each other, and after washing, the two male servants brought clothes, he put them on by himself, and the matter was closed, and the two girls came to comb his hair, and he looked a little more heroic, Wang Lianqing was very satisfied.

At dinner, Ah Xiu and Ah Yan brought four dishes, a soup, and a pot of rice to the room.

After placing Wang Lianqing in his seat, the two retreated to the door and waited, and began to eat for Wang Lianqing, who made a living from pasta in the north and was accustomed to steamed buns, but rare in the south, Wang Lianqing only ate a bowl of rice, and the dish was very suitable for his appetite.

The sun sets, and the day and night tend. Wang Lianqing looked at the bright stars in the night sky, his eyes were full of brilliance, the Su Mansion under the night was brightly lit, there was no moonlight, and he thought that he had come all the way from the north, and finally arrived in the south, and entered the Su family, and he would be stable in the future.

Thinking about it for some reason, his eyes were blurred, and tears were falling down, Ah Xiu, who was already waiting on the side, saw this scene, and his heart was suddenly shocked, but he didn't know what to do. asked slightly: "Young master?" Wang Lianqing woke up, picked up the handkerchief from his arms, wiped his tears, and said apologetically: "It's okay, I thought of something and felt it." ”

Ah Xiu: "The young master is fine." Looking at the handkerchief in the young master's hand, I was also quite surprised that it was the style of my daughter's family, and I didn't know why.

Wang Lianqing looked at the handkerchief in his hand, he was also stunned, he groaned for a while, sighed, withdrew into his arms, and said to Ah Xiu: "Ah Xiu, I'm a little tired, I want to rest, you go back, there is nothing to do at night, you don't have to wait." ”

"Yes, young master, I'll go back after you freshen up. Ah Xiu replied.

"That's good. Waiting for Wang Lian to wash her feet, Ah Xiu retreated, and Wang Lianqing told her to be careful on the way back.

Ah Xiu was very curious about this young master who had no fight, and she liked it very much, he was very approachable, and he didn't treat them like real servants, but would care about them, which made her happy.

At night, Wang Lianqing fell asleep on the bed, this was the first night he came to Su's house, he dreamed that his grandfather was killed by the three gangsters and died tragically, and woke up in an instant, and found that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't sleep for a long time, and he didn't know when, maybe he was too tired and fell asleep again.
