green bamboo dream

Pingyuanhou's Mansion is on the central axis of the capital, and the carriage full of gifts drove along the widest road in the city for two hours before arriving. 【26nbsp;】Lin Yuanzhi went to visit his father-in-law first, and by the way led his two sons to recognize him. Old Master Cui is famous for protecting his weaknesses, and the benefits of having his blue eyes should not be underestimated.

Being led to the inner courtyard by his daughter-in-law wearing parrot green satin gown, Yuzhu couldn't help but feel uneasy, because she was about to meet a large number of relatives - Cui had already introduced the composition of her grandfather's family to herself , can be called... the population is thriving.

My grandfather, Cui Hai, Marquis of Pingyuan, married one wife and seven concubines, as well as several maidservants.Cough, that grandfather is still very capable, and even managed to get even exposure to rain and dew. Look at the results of his hard work over the years... two sons and two daughters, and basically every concubine gave birth to one or two, and the big one The Hou's mansion was packed to the brim. Fortunately, Cui was the youngest concubine's daughter, who had been the darling of the old Hou Ye since she was a child, but she got a small yard, which was much better than those concubine sisters who were squeezed into the same yard.

Now there is still the youngest concubine girl left in the mansion to be in the boudoir, because she is an old woman and the last child of this generation in the mansion, so she is very loved by Mr. Cui, and her use is more than that of a concubine girl. Come, and with the marriage of the girls in front, the place has become more spacious.Mr. Cui Laohou allocated a courtyard with quiet scenery and even a small lake for the eleventh girl to live in.What's more, this young lady is sweet-mouthed and obedient, and from time to time she makes a purse and a fan cover to amuse the old Hou Ye. Not only has she become the jewel in the palm of the old Hou Ye, but even her birth mother, Aunt Zhou, is more dignified than other concubines. It was the one who gave birth to a son, and he usually responds to Yang's a lot.

When Cui said that, the frost in her eyes was almost icy cold, but when she got off the car, she returned to her dignified and elegant appearance. Yu Zhu was amazed at seeing it. This acting skill is at least at the level of a movie queen in the 21st century.

Grandmother Yang is in good health. When she learned that her little daughter, whom she had not seen for four years, was back, she happily came to pick her up in front of Yimen. Cui stepped forward to salute, but when she hugged her, the mother and daughter burst into tears. .

"You girl, you have been away from Beijing for so long and you don't know how to write a letter back. Mother is afraid that she will die and not see you for the last time." Like an old child, Yang stopped crying under the comfort of everyone but still hugged Cui. Shi does not let go.

Cui Shi no longer showed her grace on the outside, showing a bit of a little daughter's coquettish attitude: "Mother, Wanying has been sitting in the carriage for so long, her legs are numb, why do you blame me when you meet, you are not happy with me Come, then I will take your grandson and granddaughter back." After saying that, he twisted his waist and pretended to leave.

"Hey, what are you doing? Who's not happy? Mother helps you clean her up. This is a bamboo girl. Come in with grandma. Look at this little face that's so cold and red. How can you be a mother... ..." Yang pretended to be deaf and dumb, dragging Yuzhu into the door of Yimen first.

Clenched tightly by Yang's warm hand and walking forward, Yuzhu touched her face with the other hand. Grandmother learned from her, don't wrong my old lady, the redness is not from the cold, it is... suffocating laughter Come out wow.

Before I could say a few words here, Old Master Cui brought his son-in-law and grandson over here, well, the elders are complete.Lin Yuanzhi and Cui Shi led the children from the third heir to salute with the girl Yulan who was extremely neglected. When they saw the little girl from the heir who grew up in their hands, Cui Hai also had tears in his eyes. , his lips trembled for a long time before he choked out a sentence: "Is this kid treating you well? If not, tell Dad and help you teach him a good lesson." After finishing speaking, he glared fiercely at the honest Lin A glance from a distance.Yu Zhu took a look at her father's aggrieved and helpless look, lowered her head unkindly and looked at her toes with a big smile, this grandfather is a wonderful person.

There were light footsteps outside the door of the second hall, the curtain was lifted, and a petite woman in a peach-red pannier and a green hem skirt carved with passionflower came in to serve tea with a servant girl. He is not young anymore, Sheng has a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth from time to time, and he walks gracefully, but still has a charming charm.

"Hearing that Bagu's grandma is back, the maid and concubine were very happy, so they suggested to make tea here, I hope I didn't offend the distinguished guest." The voice was also soft and timid.

Yang Shi, who was still smiling happily just now, suddenly darkened her face, and said lightly: "Aunt Zhou is bothering you." His eyes flashed, and he turned to Old Master Cui with a smile: "Master, this concubine only cares about being happy. , I actually greeted my daughter in this place for entertaining guests, let's go to the backyard and ask the maids to set meals in the water pavilion."

Old Master Cui naturally agreed, since they were all family members, they didn't have to worry about the inner and outer courtyards, and the group walked into the Yang family's courtyard along the Chaoshou verandah.

Yu Zhu glanced at Aunt Zhou who was following the crowd with her head lowered. She really wasn't a simple-minded person. Originally, it was against the rules for an aunt to come out without being summoned by the mistress, but she chose Mr. Cui. When she was there, she still admitted that she disregarded the rules because she was happy, and she couldn't blame her for breaking the rules after talking about this.After coming to ancient times for so long, I finally saw a slightly higher level wives and concubines fighting. Yu Zhu was a little excited. Seeing the master fight is better than Aunt Sun's suicidal method.

——If Aunt Sun knew that Yu Zhu regarded her hard work all these years as a clown and a monkey show, she might faint with anger.

But why did Aunt Zhou take the trouble to show up when her mother came back home this week?

"Bamboo girl, look at this garden." Cui pointed to the front with some joy. After all, it was the place where she grew up. After all these years, looking back, there is always something different in it.I saw the rockery, curved bridges, jagged, meandering scenery, deep and winding, as if giving people a sense of winding paths leading to seclusion, especially the stone peaks found from Taihu Lake, which are strangely shaped and jagged, or standing courtyards. , or with the lotus pond, with exquisite and peculiar posture.It is impressive to stand upright, and rewarding to lie down, which makes people feel as if they are in the hills and valleys, like visiting famous mountains.The garden is not big, but the layout is ingenious, making full use of the space, which is quite interesting.

Seeing Yu Zhu's sizing up and seeming to like it, Mrs. Yang was also very happy, patted Yu Zhu's hand lightly, and said with a smile: "If you like it, come and play more, see your cousins ​​later , I will have playmates in the future."

Yu Zhu responded softly, pretending to be a kitten very well-behaved and obedient.

Because Mrs. Yang had given her orders a long time ago, when Yuzhu's family arrived at Mrs. Yang's yard, they saw a bunch of "yingyingyanyans", colorful dresses, various sparkling hairpins, and all the guests who met their guests. She bowed her head shyly, which made Yuzhu yell that she couldn't stand it, how could she have so many cousins, there must be more than ten.

Looking back, my grandmother Yang also had a tangled expression, but she still took on the important task of introduction.

"This is your eldest cousin Meiyu."

"This is my second cousin Hongyu."

"Third cousin Xueyu."

……

"Fifth Cousin Mo Yu."

……

"Ten cousin Yueyu."

"Ahem——" Yu Zhu gritted her teeth and couldn't bear it... How could "Prison Break" have this name? Could it be that her father or mother also wore it?
