Chen's house
Yongcheng is a small city sitting on the side town, rectangular, covering an area of nearly 10,000 hectares, during which the fish and dragons are mixed, and there is no lack of exotic people in the city.
There are only two east and west gates of Yongcheng City, can pass six horses at the same time, the city is connected by a main street, the bluestone is paved on the top, the shops on both sides of the street are lined up, and people come and go can be called lively.
Entering the city gate, Jin Yongsheng, who was depressed, was not yet attracted by this dazzling new world, so Jin Manyu beckoned Jin Yongsheng to turn over and dismount together, and walked towards a large sedan chair parked on the side of the road. Standing beside the sedan chair were two rich and noble women dressed but mediocre in appearance, and eight strong sedan chair men stood on both sides of the sedan chair.
Seeing Jin Manyu, the two women gave a salute and called "madam".
Jin Manyu didn't say much, only pulled Jin Yongsheng into the sedan chair, leaving Chen Xiaoqiang alone to ride a horse and ride two.
Jin Yongsheng has never sat in a sedan chair, let alone been served by the battle of eight sedan chairs, and he is a little nervous and timid, if he is not pulled by Jin Manyu, he really wants to turn around and say, I still ride a horse, I can feel more comfortable.
Entering the sedan chair, Jin Manyu waited until Jin Yongsheng sat down firmly, and then said: "Yongsheng, if you see someone else at my aunt's place, you will say that it is my distant relative, named Jin Yong, from Jinxian County, and I will only stay here for a while." If you have something, you just have to find your aunt, except for Qiang'er, you should have less contact and less talk. Also, the city is not as clean as the mountains, and you don't go out less. Qiang'er is a cold-hearted child, but he is withdrawn, if he really bullies you, you will tell your aunt, and your aunt will definitely be angry for you. ”
Listening to Jin Manyu's words, Jin Yongsheng nodded hurriedly, but thought in his heart, as soon as he entered the city, his aunt began to set rules for herself, rarely seeing people, talking less, going out less, and lying to others, even changing her name, and she could only tell her aunt if she had something...... Jin Yongsheng felt that the days of running freely in the mountains were waving goodbye to him, and his eyes were a little lonely.
Jin Manyu's house, two stone lions at the door guard the door, two words are hung high on the mahogany gate, and the font is strong and powerful.
Before the group reached the front of the house, the mahogany door creaked open, two diligent little men hurriedly ran out, eight strong men carefully got off the sedan chair in front of the door, and Jin Manyu pulled Jin Yongsheng out of the sedan door. Behind the two, Chen Xiaoqiang had already dismounted, threw the reins in his hand into the hands of the little guy who had just run beside him, with red lips and white teeth and a delicate face, and asked casually: "Huang Xiaoyu, has the silver fat man been here these days?"
"Back to the young master, the silver boy is here almost every day, and if you don't leave today, you and your wife will come back. Do you need a slave to go and invite Yin Gongzi back?" the little maid named Huang Xiaoyu replied respectfully.
"No need, I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
Master!
Minion!
The outside world is really different from the mountains.
There is no distinction between high and low people in the small village......
Jin Yongsheng thought secretly in his heart, squinted at Chen Xiaoqiang, and rolled his eyes a few times at the young man who was born with a rich family style for no reason.
"Tell Sister-in-law Zhang to wait for me in the main hall, and also instruct the kitchen, there are distinguished guests in the house today, and cook some dishes they are good at for dinner. After Jin Manyu got out of the sedan chair and said a few words to the woman behind him, he lifted Luo's skirt and pulled Jin Yongsheng, who began to stare at Chen Xiaoqiang again, and walked to the door.
Entering the gate, the porch in the courtyard surrounds, during which the rockery pine and cypress stand.
The mansion of the Jin Manyu family covers an extremely wide area, it is one of the largest mansions in Yongcheng, during the period there are no less than 300 houses alone, the pavilions are embellished, the winding path is surrounded by corridors, the red walls and green tiles are not magnificent. Jin Yongsheng was just secretly begging in his heart, but he didn't expect that his Aunt Manyu's family background was really not ordinary, no wonder Chen Xiaoqiang was full of golden and noble breath, Jin Yongsheng, who had never come out to see the world, looked like a dirt bun when he first entered the city, and looked closely, the sadness of parting with Jin Shouli just now had already been thrown out of the clouds, and he only hated that he couldn't give birth to another pair of eyes, and he wouldn't be too dizzy.
How did Jin Yongsheng know that Jin Manyu's husband Chen Yan was born in a family of eunuchs, his ancestors were generals of the Zhuguo, and when Chen Yan's grandfather's generation was gradually less prosperous than before, no one in the Chen family entered the official road anymore, but the descendants of the Chen family are very good at business, although the family is not as prominent as before, but it is still rich and does not show too many signs of decay.
There are a lot of miscellaneous servants who come and go, but they are all half-old and some rough envoys, the flowers in the courtyard of the deep house are red and willow green, and the beautiful figure of the warbler Yanyan Jin Yongsheng has not seen any of them, in contrast, his fat aunt Jin Manyu is the most beautiful scenery in this house, everyone saw them and hurriedly stood aside, madam, the young master's respectful voice continued.
There are few young female dependents in it, because there has always been an unwritten rule that there is no need for young and beautiful maids, even those who do things only use mediocre people. Jin Manyu thinks that he is too plump and his appearance is really not beautiful, but his husband is extremely handsome and handsome, especially the scholarly atmosphere, which can attract some young girls and glamorous young women to treat each other differently. In order to calm himself and Chen Yan not be confused by women, Jin Manyu removed some calm old people, and most of the women who used to be a little beautiful were sent out.
Jin Yongsheng walked with Jin Manyu for a long time of half a pillar of incense, only to arrive at the most heavily guarded and cleanest place in the depths of the mansion of the general of the Zhu Kingdom, Chen Xiaoqiang's residence, there are six main rooms facing north and south in the courtyard, there is a foyer in the middle, and there are three wing rooms on the east and west sides, all surrounded by high walls built of long bluestone with a width of one foot, and there is nothing else in the center of the courtyard except for a large water tank that is nearly five meters wide. If you want to enter the small courtyard, there is only a corner door or a high wall to enter, and there is a secret door leading to the main hall of the mansion in Chen Xiaoqiang's bedroom, of course, that is a secret that few people know.
The small courtyard where Chen Xiaoqiang lives looks much simpler and simpler than other places from the outside, but the room is extremely rich and luxurious.
Jin Yongsheng was arranged in the main room that belonged to Chen Xiaoqiang's study, this room and Chen Xiaoqiang's bedroom are just a hall, the bookcase and bookshelves in the room have almost not moved, that is, in the original vacancy of the door to add a large bed carved Nanmu, all the furniture ornaments in this study are all red sandalwood carvings, the sandalwood fragrance in the room is pervasive, most of the utensils are mainly jade, the whole set, even the tray with the green jade tea set on the tea table is also made of jade. Jin Yongsheng doesn't pay much attention to these things, and he doesn't know much about them, if the big bed in his room alone is worth a thousand gold, he will definitely jump up and scream, it is not as good as a wild boar's elbow.
Jin Yongsheng was accustomed to living a simple and crude life in the mountains, and such an elegant and scholarly environment, which made him feel very restrained.
Jin Manyu took Jin Yongsheng to look around the room, and then said to Jin Yongsheng: "Yongsheng, you must be tired after rushing for the past few days, rest first, aunt still has something to do." Remember, don't go out alone, I'll call you at dinner. After speaking, Jin Manyu helped Jin Yongsheng close the door and left in a hurry.
In the room, Jin Yongsheng looked around, with the mentality that if he came, he put the blanket on his body and the package given to him by Jin Shouli in his hand on the tea table, and then took out the stack of handkerchiefs that Jin Yuanyuan gave him from his arms, at this time he felt that there seemed to be something wrapped in the handkerchief, heavy, and opened it to take a look, a small dagger appeared in front of him, the dagger was unsheathed, half a foot long, and the handle was wound with red thread, Jin Yongsheng's eyes suddenly revealed a touch of essence, although Jin Yuanyuan gave him only a most ordinary dagger, but it was also a weapon, seeing this small dagger, Jin Yongsheng was more happy than seeing the most beautiful woman's expression, there was really a green light in his eyes.
"I really didn't expect it, Jin Yuanyuan, you really understand your brother's mind, hehe, hehe......" Jin Yongsheng was alone in the room and smirked.
When Jin Yongsheng was looking at the gifts given to him by several grandfathers and Jin Yuanyuan in the room, Jin Manyu went to Chen Xiaoqiang's room. Chen Xiaoqiang was rummaging for something on the table with a jar of wine, and when he saw Jin Manyu enter the room, he only raised his eyelids, and then moved again.
"Qiang'er, the eternal life will be handed over to your care, you know the hospitality of the house, remember not to talk to Yongsheng about those bastard words. Jin Manyu turned around after speaking, leaving Chen Xiaoqiang, who had not said a word, and rolled his eyes to the sky alone.
After a while.
In the main hall of the Chen Mansion, at the entrance of the hall, there were more than 20 people in charge of the Chen Mansion up and down, and they had already gathered in front of the hall, standing in order, waiting for the hostess who came out to return to give a lecture. waited and waited, but they only waited for Sister-in-law Zhang, the big housekeeper in the Fuzhong who was dressed in a blue shirt and short clothes. Zhang's sister-in-law's name is Zhang Meizhen, nearly forty years old, although the genre is thin, but she has a strong physique, she has followed Jin Manyu for many years, up and down, everything is big and small, she is dotting.
Sister-in-law Zhang received the order in Jin Manyu's room, and walked slowly to the front of the hall, she glanced at the people in front of her, and said in a raised voice: "You guys listen today, Madame brought back the distinguished guest Young Master Jin Yong today, and he has been living in the house since today, all the needs, you are all with the best, and, Mrs. said, Young Master Jin Yong likes to be quiet, if anyone goes to provoke Young Master Jin Yong is uncomfortable, don't say that she turns her face ruthlessly...... The affairs in the house are still the old rules, don't talk to outsiders, tell your respective subordinates, take care of your mouths, and go down. ”
"Yes. ”
After everyone dispersed, Sister-in-law Zhang turned around and walked into the hall.
Jin Manyu sat in the inner hall, his fingers pressing his forehead, looking tired.
"Madam, you are tired after driving for more than ten days, why don't you take a nap first. Sister-in-law Zhang walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Jin Manyu.
Jin Manyu has been driving the mountain road for more than ten days, she doesn't like to ride a horse the most on weekdays, this time because of the urgency, she abandoned the solo carriage specially prepared for her to go back to Jinjiazhuang, and walked some ridge paths along the way.
Jin Manyu took a sip of the tea handed by Sister-in-law Zhang, and asked, "Have the business of Qianzhuang and Yaozhuang been stable these days?"
"Madame, rest assured, with Song Xijin and Uncle Chen Qi in charge, everything is fine. Sister-in-law Zhang stood aside and replied softly.
"That's good. In the past few days, the government still needs to find a few more capable masters to come over. ”
"I'll do it. ”
"After the masters invited me over, they were only in charge of the outer courtyard, and the inner courtyard was still in charge of Tian Gongming and Wen Wuyi. ”
"Understood. ”
"Also, wait a few times to send a few sets of clothes to Jin Yong's place. ”
"I've already sent someone. ”
