Chapter 303: Meeting the Parents (13th Update)
The lavish carriage made entirely of red nanmu and agarwood, carved with the family crest of the Guyue family, is made up of four green-eared horse-drawn carriages with the same name as the flame tail. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Riding the horse was Chunlan, holding a small horsewhip tanned from sheepskin, and the wheels of the car were wrapped in a kind of rubber-like leather, and she ran very calmly on the road, without the unpleasant sound of the wheels grinding on the ground.
In the high wind, the system is strict, and the common people can only drive on one horse.
Officials below the fifth rank can only drive by two horses, and above the fifth grade, they are eligible to ride four horses, which is the limit.
Like six horses and eight horses, only the prince and the emperor can have such pomp.
However, it was also the wind of the past, and now the wind is rotten and dilapidated, and these systems are actually not valued in small places or areas where the warlords are self-governed.
Of course, there is still no common man who has the courage to take a four-horse carriage, and at most there are occasional local squires who sit in a two-horse carriage when they talk about pomp.
Like Lan Zixuan, she is the descendant of the Guyue family, and she also has the title of viscount.
Really counted, she is barely equivalent to a fifth-grade official, although she has no power, these four carriages can still afford to sit.
Jiang Cheng and Lan Zixuan rode in the same car, which was luxuriously decorated, covered with soft carpets, and a small white oak coffee table with pastries and wine.
The two daughters of Dongmei and Qiuju hung their shoulders and pinched their backs behind Jiang Cheng, with well-proportioned strength and dexterous hands, which made people involuntarily relax their muscles and soothe.
"Please. Xia Zhu poured a drink for Jiang Cheng, exhaled like an orchid, and a flush flashed on his pretty face, and his gaze at Jiang Cheng was obviously good.
Lan Zixuan picked up a cup of tea in her hand, blew and drank it, looking at this scene, she couldn't help but shake her head, and at the same time she was very puzzled, Jiang Cheng's strength had inevitably improved too quickly, and it seemed that he was about to break through to the dragon elephant and give birth to true self.
The carriage traveled very steadily and quickly, and the time for the two incense sticks arrived in Guyue City.
This city is named after the Guyue family, and the entire city is actually owned by the Guyue family, although the city lord is not the descendant of the Guyue family, but he is also a cronie supported by marriage.
The car drove into the city, unimpeded, only to feel a noise like a wave rushing towards you.
Jiang Cheng lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the scene in the city.
But seeing the prosperous scene in this city, it is extraordinary, and it is many times richer than the city in the northeast.
Even if Taiyuan City is compared with such cities, it does not seem to be a heavyweight, and I am afraid that only Nanyue City, where the Yunyang Palace, was once located in southern Xinjiang, can roughly compare with this city.
You can see the streets where luxury cars and horses are gathered in some large restaurants, and the small houses wearing special clothes and decorations of various restaurants and shops can run back and forth.
There were dignitaries dressed in silk and satin who stepped out of some carriages, their faces full of red light.
Some shops are lined up one after another, and although the streets are full of traffic, they are orderly and not chaotic, and there are also city guards patrolling through the streets, keeping their eyes on the streets to maintain normal law and order in the city.
This is obviously a city with strict laws, and if the laws are maintained so well, it is natural to protect the interests of the upper class, that is, the reputation and interests of the Guyue family.
The carriage has the family crest of the Guyue family, and it can be said that it is accessible all the way, and it goes straight to the inner city.
The inner city is quieter, but more orderly, with deep mansions and courtyards one after another, as if forming a labyrinth.
It is planned according to the layout of a feng shui array, so that the entire city has a kind of atmosphere of forest and everything, like a dragon king in the abyss, unfathomable.
When they arrived at a mansion that occupied a huge area, the carriage stopped, and the Guyue family arrived.
Jiang Cheng got out of the car and looked, this mansion is afraid that it covers an area of hundreds of acres, the territory is exaggerated, and it almost occupies a large area of the inner city, in which the faint aura is uncertain, the momentum is deep, it seems to be introverted, and the tip of the iceberg that is exposed is enough to shock people's hearts.
He understood that this was just a mansion of the Gu Yue family in this city, in fact, in the suburbs outside the city, there was also a huge mountain villa, a large number of tenant squires, thousands of fertile fields, and armed forces were deeply hidden.
"Go, come with me. ”
Lan Zixuan got out of the driveway and smiled.
Jiang Cheng nodded slightly, and suddenly his eyes flashed and he looked at the door of the mansion.
Although there was a large feng shui array in this mansion that blocked the perception detection, his ear power was also amazing, and he still sensed that someone seemed to be coming out.
Lan Zixuan's reaction was a little slower, and when she looked again, a group of housechildren wearing black felt hats and golden belts walked out with a smile on their faces.
The young man was stunned when he saw Lan Zixuan and the others at the door, and then his eyes flashed and fell on Jiang Cheng, and he couldn't help but move slightly, and said with a smile.
"Second sister, this is the young handsome man you said, I heard that you went out earlier to pick up someone, and there was a time when you seemed to be mixed with a guy called the devil, isn't this guy in front of you the devil?"
Lan Zixuan frowned lightly when she heard this, glanced at Jiang Chengcai and said, "Seventh brother, speak politely." ”
Seeing that she didn't deny anything, the young man smiled, took a deep look at Jiang Cheng, and left with a group of people.
"My seventh brother is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and now he is only twenty-two years old and has the strength of the middle stage of the Vajra Realm, so his heart is a little high.
But it's not comparable to you, I guess I've heard about some of your deeds, and I'm a little hostile to you in high spirits. ”
Walking into the mansion, through the alley, and through a deep corridor with twists and turns, Lan Zixuan talked to Jiang Cheng softly.
"This time, some of the children of our family who have reached the innate strength have basically gone to the Divine Domain, but among the disciples of the family, there are not many who are really powerful, and there will be a few loyal guest Qing who will go with them.
I have quietly reported the matter of you and me to the elder of the family through my father, and now the other brothers and sisters don't know about it, you now follow me to see my father and the elder, as long as they approve of it, you can go to the Divine Domain with me. ”
"It's about meeting the parents......"
Jiang Cheng felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't have any bad feelings towards Lan Zixuan, the two also had a relationship, and now the other party wanted to take him to meet his parents, and his heart was actually a little turbulent.
However, he is a person with a cold nature, and he doesn't attach much importance to the relationship between men and women, although he feels strange at this time, he is not nervous, and he seems very calm.
Soon, they entered an elegantly framed courtyard of the mansion, and a few moments later, a middle-aged man walked in, surrounded by two guards.
"Virtuous nephew, hahaha, my uncle has been looking forward to you coming to our Guyue family as a guest for a long time, Zixuan is talking about your name in my ear every day these days, this is really a big girl. ”
The middle-aged man is in good spirits, full of energy when he speaks, his skin is white, and he looks like a pampered person, and he looks very easy-going.
