Chapter 5 Backyard

"As for Zhen'er, how about letting her go to the backyard to play eight rounds of cards with Uchiko and them, if she can't, let them teach her."

Luo Zhen was a little at a loss and looked at Luo Fuzhou.

Luo Fuzhou nodded at her.

Looking at her father's gaze, her heart inexplicably calmed down.

She nodded at him.

"Let's go, Miss Luo." A middle-aged woman who followed behind Yan Yongning was wearing a wide-sleeved placket of homely Buddha green yarn, and stepped forward in a dark wire gauze skirt, took her arm affectionately, and said with a smile, "You are the same age as several cousins in Xia Xuan, just meet them, young girls will always have common topics." ”

"Come on, Brother Yan, I'll introduce you to the secretary general of the south......"

The Yan family is a veritable Huafu family, I heard that the ancestors are a scholarly family, and there have been several Hanlin, so the family has internal rhyme, and the layout of the courtyard is antique. Walk through a small flower hall, through the corridor with glass windows of hibiscus, begonias, and chrysanthemums exposed in the finely carved wooden lattice fans, and come to a small pavilion in the backyard, the furniture is all old rosewood.

Luo Zhen watched all the way, feeling a little new in his heart.

The commander's mansion in her house is full of new-style Western-style small buildings, which she has long been accustomed to abroad, but she is very rare in this ancient room, so she can't help but look at it twice when she passes by.

The third aunt beside her didn't say much when she saw this.

But when I entered this independent courtyard, I found that there was a single-family glass house, which was full of colorful flowers, and there was a translucent pool in the middle.

This is the only Western-style thing Luo Zhen has seen since entering Luo Mansion.

In the December sky, the house is warm, as if the spring flowers are blooming, and the warbler in the house should be combined with the swallow language, which makes people feel warmer.

As soon as he entered the house, the carpet under his feet was as soft as cotton, and the warm breeze was like a spring breeze, and Luo Zhen was not allowed to take a closer look, so he was led by the third aunt to a room on the right side, and the women's voices were a little louder.

The four walls of the house are calligraphy and paintings, and there is an antique red sandalwood fine flower frame standing against the wall, and there are vases and incense burners along with the grid. There was a pen and inkstone scroll on the red sandalwood bookcase, and next to it were a few rosewood chairs, and several girls were talking and laughing, and when they heard the footsteps, they all turned their heads.

In such an ancient room, it is filled with the smell of fat powder and perfume.

Looking at the room full of people, Luo Zhen was still a little flustered.

"Third wife, you're here, yo! Who is this? The women in the room looked at Rozhen in amazement.

"Come, let me introduce to you, this is Commander Luo's daughter, you have to take good care of it."

The women were surprised, looking at each other, and the atmosphere in the room was very awkward.

A beautiful young woman dressed in a ginger cheongsam laughed loudly: "Third aunt, you are really good, and you don't tell us in advance." ”

The beautiful woman is shallow and thin-cheeked, although she is no longer the age of a girl, but she has her own delicate and charming, touching heartstrings.

"Oh my eldest lady, you're wrong about me, I just found out about this."

Luo Zhen was slightly embarrassed.

The beautiful young woman stood up, walked over, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, introduce yourself, I am Yan Xiting, the eldest lady of the Yan family." ”

Luo Zhen bowed: "Hello, my name is Luo Zhen, and my father is the commander-in-chief Luo Fuzhou." ”

There was some silence in the room, and occasionally the whispers of the women could be heard.

Yan Xiting looked at her quietly, seeing that she was born with a clear and beautiful bones, extraordinary bearing, a delicate and gentle charm between her eyebrows and eyes, although she came back from studying abroad, she actually had the delicate and delicate of a traditional boudoir woman, clear as the afterglow in the moonlight, no matter how good her appearance and temperament were top, I am afraid that no one among the women present could beat her, she couldn't help but praise in her heart, she smiled: "It turned out to be the daughter of the Luo family, and it was really such a beauty with skin like snow and hair like paint, but I heard that you have been studying abroad all the year round......"

Luo Zhen smiled: "I went home a few days ago. ”

"I see. Then let the sisters come and talk to you about some Beijing scenery, I think you must be interested. ”

The corners of Luo Zhen's eyes lit up, and her affection for the beautiful woman in front of her was greatly increased, she was very interested in these, but she was suffering from no one to talk to her, and now she was just asking the woman in front of her.

Yan Xiting observed her words and looks, saw that the girl's eyebrows and eyes were clear, and knew that she was interested, so she smiled slightly and said, "Sister, sit here." ”

Seeing this scene, the third lady smiled and said, "Then I'll go out first, you guys talk first, and I'll see what else needs to be done in front of me." ”

Yan Xiting said with a smile: "The third aunt is worthy of being my father's right-hand man, you have to pay attention to your body and don't get tired." ”

"Thank you, our eldest lady, for caring." The third lady laughed, and then exited the room.

Luo Zhen's guard and inhibition relaxed a little, greeted the other girls in a friendly manner, and then sat down on the thick cushions on the couch.

Not long after I sat down, I heard someone walk in outside, and before anyone arrived, the crisp voice like a yellow warbler had already sounded: "Sister Ting! ”

I saw a bright and touching woman walk in.

Luo Zhen was startled, looked up, and was a little shocked at this look.

This woman she had seen.

But this woman didn't recognize her, she didn't look at her at all, it should be said that she didn't look at the other women in the room, except for Yan Xiting.

Yan Xiting smiled: "What's wrong? Shan'er, I came early today. ”

"How dare I not come to my uncle's birthday?"

"I thought you wouldn't want to pay attention to me anymore because of that stinky boy."

The woman snorted softly, "I'm not that stingy. Besides, nothing can ruin my friendship with Sister Ting. ”

Yan Xiting sighed lightly: "He was spoiled by his mother, he was very romantic at a young age, and he had a lot of girlfriends, from courtesans to singers, there have been rumors of any type, and I have heard a little." A prodigal like him is not worthy of Shan'er. ”

"Sister Ting, you don't have to say much, I don't care anymore."

"That's good." Yan Xiting nodded, and no longer mentioned Yan Xiaxuan, and only said, "You came just in time, we have a new friend." ”

"Oh?" Na Luo Yushan finally looked at the other people in the room and found Luo Zhen at a glance.

The woman in front of her was too beautiful to let her see it at a glance, she looked at her unscrupulously, and hostility gradually grew in her heart.

In Beijing, she is the most famous lady, when it comes to Luo Yushan, we all know that this illustrious young lady is beautiful and moving, she and Yan Xiting, the eldest lady of the Yan family, have been called the two "famous flowers" in Beiping, and the beauty is overwhelming, no one can match.

She had never put anyone else in her eyes, but now, when she saw the woman in front of her, she had a loud alarm in her heart.

"Who is this......?" Luo Yushan said.

"She is Commander Luo's daughter, named Luo Zhen."

Now in the city of Beiping, there are three powerful and powerful, and they are in a three-legged position in Beiping.

The Luo family, the Yan family and the Luo family.

The Luo family has full control over the affairs of the northern army, the Yan family is the governor of the nine northern provinces, garrisoning Zhabei, and the Luo family ancestor is a Jinshi, advocating foreign affairs, and has donated the embassy to the important position of the minister of military aircraft, acting as governor and governor.

However, compared with the previous two, the Luo family's power is slightly inferior, after all, the Luo family and the Yan family control military affairs, and in this era, there is nothing more important than the army. But the Luo family should not be underestimated, because many of the internal affairs of the previous dynasty were still controlled by the Luo family.

After the two of them made a bad salute, Luo Zhen saw that she kept looking at herself, and she was also aware of her inadequacy, and she was slightly shocked, but she still stood in place and smiled and let her look at it.

Yan Xiting, who was beside her, smiled and didn't accuse Luo Yushan of this rude behavior, and after a while, she was just about to speak, but she heard a male voice shouting at the door: "Sister! ”

Yan Xiting smiled: "What's going on today? Why are you all here? This kid ......"

After speaking, she looked at Luo Yushan, only to see the latter's face change slightly, turned around, and sat on the couch.

"Big sister." A man walked in with a cold wind outside, and a strong cold and hard air enveloped him.

When Luo Zhen heard this voice, she subconsciously shrank a little in her heart, but she was as normal as she was and remained silent.

The only man in the room appeared, immediately attracting the attention of all the women.

He was dressed in a simple robe, his posture was slender and straight, and his temperament became elegant, like an ordinary nobleman, not at all as sharp and cold as that day.

The man is actually extremely handsome, with a fair complexion, heroic eyebrows, a tall and perfect nose bridge, a clear lip line, those eyes are the most bewildering, and there is always a feeling of affection when looking at others.

This life is good, she knew it the first day she saw him, but Luo Zhen still felt that there was a kind of cold evil in him that scared her.

"Why are you free today?" Looking at her younger brother in front of her, Yan Xiting smiled.

Seeing that her brother's eyes were staring straight at the girls in the room as soon as he came in, she sighed softly in her heart.

This younger brother of his own, is really amorous.

But he can't provoke the girl in front of him at will.

Blocking Yan Xiaxuan's gaze at Luo Zhen without a trace, she smiled and said, "Hey, it's not polite for you to come here, haven't you seen a room of girls?" ”

Yan Xiaxuan smiled slightly: "What the eldest sister said is that I originally just wanted to find you. The man's voice was a little low and hoarse, which caused some girls to peek at him from time to time, but they were a little afraid of the coldness on his body, and they were afraid and admired in their hearts.

"Well, what's the matter?" Yan Xiting was stunned, she originally thought that her brother just wanted to come to hunt for beauty, but she didn't expect him to really have something.

In that case, "Let's go to the next room and talk." ”

After that, she looked at the women behind her, "I'm out of company first, you guys talk first." ”

Before leaving, she didn't forget Luo Zhen, the new guest, she turned her head and smiled: "Cousin Yi, greet Sister Luo for me, don't let her be too restrained." ”

Then he walked out of the house with Yan Xiaxuan.

"Sister Luo, I heard that you live abroad all the year round, and you are afraid that you still don't taste much of some food in China, right? This is a new dim sum from Front Street Wing Kee, you can try it. A beautiful woman dressed in an azure silver silk cheongsam smiled kindly at Luo Zhen, and she opened her mouth to greet Luo Zhen.

This is Cousin Yi who Yan Xiting ordered just now.
