Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 526 The simple British father-in-law

A century-old family with a superior status like the British Duke's family naturally has extraordinary depth and heritage everywhere. It seems that every brick and tile records countless joys, sorrows and joys of the past.

The main colors of the buildings of the British government are black and gray, and the decorations are mostly decorated with various rockeries and green plants. The flowers that already account for a small number are mainly peonies and peonies.

Pan Shuling had previously admired the abundance of flowers in Meizhuang, saying that the British government only had peonies, peonies, roses, lotus, and plum blossoms, because both her grandmother and aunt only liked big and bright flowers with elegant fragrance and satin-like color.If there are only one or two plum blossoms, they don't like them either. They want them to be in full bloom.Therefore, the British government also has a small plum grove, but it is not as big as the plum grove in Plum Village. After all, it is a house in a high-priced area of ​​​​the capital. How can it compare with Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Luo City?

Walking all the way after entering the gate, although Pan Jiaming's tone of introduction seemed casual, Zhiruo could still hear a sense of pride.Also, the most valuable thing about British public buildings is not the materials and designs used, but the layout and structure, which are very particular.

Zhiruo has heard before that in the entire capital, except for the imperial palace, the British government's feng shui is the best, both in terms of location and layout.Needless to say about the location, as we all know, there are two dragon veins in the capital, one runs through the imperial palace, and the connecting line of the other is at the British Palace.

It's just that no one has lived in this location before, but unfortunately it didn't end well. The palace of a former prince was built here.According to a certain Imperial Preceptor from the previous dynasty, although this position is good, it still requires a family with good fortune and strong support.Moreover, if the head of the family is not of noble character and lives here, the whole family will suffer bad luck.Many people speculate that this is the reason why the British duchess dare not shake the status of the British duchess.

As for the layout, it is said that the location of each courtyard in the British government palace and the status of the people who live there are particular.Which yard needs to be planted with which flowers and trees, and in which location, which yard can be used to build a two-story building, which yard cannot be built with a kitchen or cannot dig a pond... these are all planned from the beginning.

It is said that the master who guided the construction of the British government palace once made suggestions to Emperor Taizu to rectify several layouts of the palace to ensure that the Ying Dynasty would not repeat the misfortune of the previous dynasty that was overthrown in just 50 years.

Even if Zhiruo appreciates it with the eyes of later generations, he still feels that it is simple and elegant, with low-key luxury everywhere. There is no vulgar luxury, and there is no gloomy, boring and depressing feeling.Perhaps this is the importance of Feng Shui?
After roughly introducing the overall layout of the mansion and the locations of the large and small gardens, the Pan Jiaming brothers and Xiao Feng directly led the Zhiruo siblings to the main hall of Ronghua Courtyard.The British father-in-law who received the letter has been waiting for a long time.

What Pan Jiaming didn't expect was that the British father-in-law was also there.There are also a lot of people from the big room, except Pan Jiajin who goes to the Ministry of Etiquette and Pan Jiaxin who goes to the school.How annoying!He suddenly felt that he couldn't kick out the big family in Dafang earlier. Sometimes it was really emotionally damaging.

The British duke was quite happy, and his face was as cheerful as the British duchess's wife.

Zhiruo had met the British duchess when he attended a palace banquet before. Although he had never met the British duchess, except for the duke himself, who else could sit on the main seat with the duchess?

Zhiruo hurriedly brought Mingze and the four of them forward to salute: "Zhiruo and his brothers and sisters have met the Duke and his wife."

"Get up, get up," the British princess smiled kindly and kindly, "Finally I've been waiting for you. Ling'er keeps talking about it every day, which is almost wearing out my ears. Stand up straight and let me see, oh, oh, They are all beautiful children, no matter how well dressed they are, they look like brothers and sisters from the same family." Zhiruo and the others did not hesitate, they stood in order of age and allowed the two old men to look at them openly.

You cannot wear red or green before you are out of filial piety, but you cannot be too plain when you go to other people's houses to avoid losing respect.Today, the three Zhiruo sisters are all dressed in lotus-colored smoky gauze skirts, and their head and face jewelry are mainly made of silver and white pearls. They are simple and elegant but not lacking in exquisiteness. Anyone with a discerning eye will know that they are all good things at a glance.The three sisters stand as graceful as three elegant lotus flowers, making people feel happy at the sight of them.

The two Mingze brothers both wore azure brocade robes woven with dark patterns of bamboo leaves, identical black jade hairpins, and a pair of jade pendants engraved with a unicorn and a lin respectively. Each wore one on his waist and the same on his feet. White deerskin boots... Two brothers who looked [-] to [-]% alike stood there, as tall and handsome as poplar trees, but one was more elegant and elegant, while the other was more stubborn and fierce.

From where Xiao Feng was standing, he could see the details of the jade pendants clearly. He couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't this the pair of jade pendants that Qi Mubai bought for 3000 taels of silver at Zhenyu Pavilion in Changyang?How could it happen to the two Mingze brothers?
Xiao Feng's first reaction was to look at Pan Jiaming.I don’t know if this guy really didn’t see it or if he just doesn’t remember it, but his expression doesn’t look abnormal at all.

Knowing that Ruo Duo was a sensitive person, he saw Xiao Feng's expression from the corner of his eye and knew that he had recognized the jade pendants worn by Mingze and Mingze. Because he was mentally prepared, he did not panic and still stood there calmly, but his heart became more and more complicated. I'm getting more and more confused, why doesn't Pan Jiaming respond?Didn't he recognize it?Obviously this guy's memory and observation skills are extremely amazing.

Pan Jiaming saw that Zhiruo, who had a calm face, became less calm after glancing at him. Zhiruo frowned slightly the moment he lowered his head. Others did not notice it, but it did not escape his sight. The angle he was standing at Just right, with the corner of my eye I could "inadvertently" notice the changes in Zhiruo's expression without being noticed by others, and I could also scan the movements of almost everyone in the hall at a glance.

Zhiruo didn't have so much energy to think about Pan Jiaming, a cunning nigger at the moment. It was very uncultured to be caught distracted when meeting the elders.

At this moment, not only the British father-in-law was looking at them carefully, but also the British father-in-law was looking at them carefully. However, he mainly looked at the two teenagers. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them: "Okay, okay, they are both good children!" Youno's father The wind!

Although the British father-in-law tends to love Pan Ruye, he actually prefers his legitimate son Pan Rubing, who is handsome, upright, and born with nobility. Boy Ming is just like his father, and even more domineering. Unfortunately, all the advantages he had before were lost to him. The dandy and evil aura all over his face has been covered up, and he has become more and more pleasing to the eye recently.

Dafang's grandsons are actually pretty good-looking, but like their father, they are not slender or tall enough, so they lack momentum.I won’t talk about the eldest son’s two concubines, only the eldest son and the Xin son. They have the same fine clothes and fine food, and the same backs to the British government, but standing together with the Ming kid, something seems to be missing.Perhaps they all inherited the gentle temperament of their biological grandmother, Aunt He, who is gentle and pleasant in women, but too feminine in men?

Alas, the two children in front of him are still in his eyes. If Xin'er spends more time with them, will he be infected with some tenacity?Don’t they all say that people form groups? It doesn’t just mean that people with similar personalities and interests like to get together, but it can also be that people who get along with each other often influence each other, right?Ming boy now has a rift with the people in the big house, and he is not willing to take Xin'er with him. It would be great to let Xin'er communicate with them more while the two children of the Yin family live in the house.

It has to be said that on a certain level, the British father-in-law is also a simple person, so although his reputation has been somewhat damaged by favoring concubines, his popularity is quite good.
