green bamboo dream

Along the way, Cui just held Yu Zhu's hand in silence, not saying a word, not knowing what she was thinking. 【26nbsp;】Yu Zhu was also a little nervous. From a quick glance just now, she already felt that those servants were all extraordinary in their clothes, speech and behavior, so she couldn't help but think highly of the Ningyuanhou Mansion in the capital.In my mind, I went back and rehearsed for the last time, rehearsing who I saw, what kind of salute to do, what kind of words to say.

There was silence in the carriage, only the rattling of horseshoes on the stone slab and various noises from the street could be heard.The sounds of children crying, playing, and running, the sound of pedestrians' hurried or leisurely footsteps, and the sound of bargaining between small vendors and buyers are intertwined. Although the sun has long since set, it is still very lively. It is worthy of being the capital city at the foot of the emperor. Its bustling streets and densely populated cities cannot be compared with other places.

After walking for a while, the carriage stopped steadily, and the respectful voice of the driver came to the carriage: "Madam, Miss, we are here."

After getting off the car, she hurried into the sedan chair waiting at the side door. Yu Zhu took a sneak peek at the gate as she walked. Sure enough, there were stone lions, and there were a few porters in bright coats and hats sitting in front of the gate, which was quite majestic.

The boy who carried the sedan chair was not allowed to enter the inner courtyard, so the sedan chair stopped in front of the hanging flower gate, and Lin Yuanzhi's voice came from outside the sedan chair curtain: "I'll go see my elder brother and fourth younger brother first, and you take your daughter to see mother first." Go." Cui agreed in a low voice, and the footsteps outside gradually faded away.After a while, a daughter-in-law wearing a pea-green embroidered jacket smiled and stepped forward to open the sedan chair curtain, and helped the mother and son get out of the sedan chair.The daughter-in-law had a bright and shrewd face, she took Yu Zhu's hand and said with a smile, "Oh, look at how beautiful the third girl is, the old lady will definitely like it when she sees it."

Yuzhu was a little angry at her tone, but seeing that this daughter-in-law was also wearing silk and satin, and the gold hairpin and silver hairpin on her head were quite thick, she knew she was a decent servant girl, she didn't speak, only smiled, with a cold face. Looking ahead, the solemn and dignified look stunned the daughter-in-law. She originally thought that the third lady was still young and thin-skinned, so she could probe the bottom, so it was not good to continue to pretend to be stupid and probe.Embarrassed, she stepped forward and supported Cui's hand into the Hanging Flower Gate. Yuzhu looked at the gorgeous wood carvings of lotus petals and leaves carved on the central pillar of the Hanging Flower Gate, smiled slightly and refused the support of the daughter-in-law next to her, and stepped on the door. After stepping up the bluestone steps, my heart miraculously calmed down. I am not afraid that you will try to make a move, but I am afraid that you will do nothing. Sure enough, there are people in this family who are not wholeheartedly looking forward to their return.

Walking along the Chaoshou corridor on the right side of the hall, the maids, daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who met along the way all saluted one after another, but they couldn't help but secretly look up.Yu Zhu frowned, feeling a little annoyed, look at Mao, there are really no rules.

Because I want to meet the old lady first, the main room is the first to go.Then through two round moon gates, you come to the main courtyard behind the hall. The five upper rooms on the front are all carved beams and painted buildings, which are extraordinary in style. Birds with bright feathers or melodious songs came to the front room, and a bright lady in dark red dark stripes greeted her with a smile: "The old lady was talking about it just now, but the third wife and third girl are looking forward to it. "So he opened the curtain and reported to the inside: "The third wife and the third lady have arrived."

Yu Zhu couldn't figure out who this woman was, so Cui turned her head and said in a low voice, "This is Mama Xie who is serving by the old lady's side."

Guessing that it was probably the respectable woman in the grandmother's room, Yu Zhu squatted down slightly to salute, but the woman hurriedly avoided, took Yu Zhu by her own hand and said, "This old slave can't afford it. Don't ruin my life." He smiled and motioned her to go into the house.

Entering the door is a screen of huanghuali deer and crane, which is simple and elegant, but also reveals a touch of luxury. Walking around the screen, you can only see silk, satin, pearls and emeralds surrounded by colorful embroidery, dazzling people's eyes.Taking a closer look at the group of female relatives who turned out to be gorgeously dressed and dressed, Yuzhu calmed down and saw an Arhat couch of chicken wing wood inlaid with mother-of-pearl marble placed among the stars, and a small kang made of the same material was placed on the couch. In the middle sat a gray-haired old Feng Jun, with an extraordinary bearing, a stern face, and a Buddhist spirit all over his body, so he knew that this was his grandmother Shi Shi.

A maidservant wearing a red jacket and green silk tooth-cutting vest stepped forward to remove the brocade and woolen cloak on Yu Zhu's body. Yu Zhu flicked her sleeves, and followed her mother to kowtow to the old lady.

The old lady asked Cui how he was doing outside, and Cui replied with a smile: "Madam Lao is thinking about it, everything is fine, the master is also going well outside, and the people of Qingzhou gave Wanmin umbrellas when he left." The old lady was also happy When he got up, he looked very satisfied.

Seeing Yu Zhu beside Cui Shi, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she waved at Yu Zhu: "That's girl Zhu, she's so big, come to grandma." Yu Zhu stepped forward, Let her hold his hand and look at it carefully from top to bottom, but seeing that he hasn't seen him for four years, it seems like a really different person.

On her head was a low bun, with a simple begonia flower inlaid on it, two locks of soft and shiny black hair naturally hanging on both sides of her cheeks, clear and full of watery eyes, and cherry lips full of red, Eyebrows are black without drawing, and skin is white and greasy without powder.A smoky green thin smoky gauze jacket, a light green long skirt, light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs, a few auspicious clouds drawn out with silver threads, and a dense row of blue sea clouds at the hem, just so quiet Standing with head bowed is as beautiful as a painting, coupled with the calm and elegant demeanor of the whole body, it is really indescribably lovable.

Shi Shi couldn't help but feel distressed when he saw it, and thought, after all, he is a descendant of a descendant, and his appearance and demeanor are really extraordinary.There was kindness on his face: "Aren't you tired on the road? I'll go back and have a rest early after dinner. Grandma has packed everything. If there's anything missing in the house or what you want to eat, feel free to ask."

Mother Xie next to her hurriedly said: "Old lady, the third wife and the third lady have been exhausted all the way, but they haven't taken care of taking a breath. Besides, the room is full of people, how can you just drag your granddaughter to talk about yourself? Miss San was young and lived a long time when she left home, so she has to identify everyone first."

The old lady pointed to the female relatives next to her and said, "Those three are your first aunt, second aunt, and fourth aunt." Yu Zhu looked at her uncle Fan's mother with a fair and round face, looking graceful and rich, but in her eyes Occasionally flashes of light show that this is not a simple housewife; the second aunt Liang is quite beautiful, but there is a deep worry line between her brows; as for the fourth aunt Zhao, she is the most ordinary one among them, barely She can be called pretty, but her eyes are quiet and serene, and there is always a smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze on the corner of her mouth, which makes her look very amiable.

Mrs. Cui just wished her sisters-in-law a little blessing, and Yuzhu was going to visit them one by one.The old lady pointed to a girl in pink behind Liang and said, "That's your big sister Mei."

He pointed to the short yellow-clothed girl behind Mrs. Zhao and said, "This is your sister Ju."

Just as Yuzhu was about to go forward to pay respects, the old lady waved her hand and said flatly, "What are my sisters doing so much? Bamboo girl has also suffered these days. Let's have dinner first, and then we can talk to grandma after recovering."

Cui smiled, glanced at Fan with complicated eyes, stepped forward to help the old lady to leave.
