Fair Lady

Weiyuan Hou's Mansion is on Zhuque Street. Zhuque Street and Shangguan Street are like two wide sides wrapping both ends of the bustling central area of ​​the capital. The carriage journey takes about two quarters of an hour.

The carriage was driving on the once familiar road, Shuyao felt boundless emotion in her heart, those unforgettable scenes of bewilderment, pain and panic replayed in her mind again.

After more than three years, Shuyao thought that she had been able to control the hatred in her heart, but found that those people and things were like those sparks, which ignited with a slight blow.Every time she faced Zhen Keling, when her nails pierced her palms, she thought it was a sign that she was out of control, but when she was really in the capital, when the carriage passed by the intersection not far from Murong Mansion, she felt a sharp flash in her heart. The stinging pain let her know that her pain and hatred were just hidden in her heart and never faded or faded away.

Taking a deep breath, Shuyao's eyes regained clarity when she turned back from the window to face Mother Liu and Lan Jin: Capital, I'm back. Big brother will not be wronged any more.With the intelligence and ability of the eldest brother, he will definitely shine in this capital in this life.

"The capital city is very large, but the central area is the area between Zhuque Street and Shangguan Street. Most of the wealthy families, large shops, restaurants, etc. are concentrated here. Of course, the land price and rent are scary expensive. It is almost the same as Yulin Town. The shops you saw along the way are all well-known big shops, and the things they sell can be said to be the best and most expensive in Dazhou. Those who can open shops in this area are basically in all parts of Dazhou They all have branches. Everyone likes the things that are fashionable in the capital." Liu's mother introduced very familiarly, her girl is just a little girl who is not yet ten years old. It is the first time for her to see such a bustling scene in the capital, and she can't take her eyes off her It's perfectly normal to stare through the window.

The curtains on their carriage are made of high-quality cloud gauze, otherwise Mother Liu would not let Shuyao look out of the window.Cloud gauze is a very special fabric. It is transparent when viewed from a close distance, but if it is separated by a foot.I can't see clearly.Therefore, although cloud gauze is relatively expensive, people with conditions still like to use it to make curtains or curtains, especially the curtains of carriages. The inside can clearly see the outside, but the outside cannot see the scene in the carriage.Unless you also look at it from the outside through the window.

This is the capital city, the rules are strict, Mother Liu has already said that now Shuyao must wear a veiled hat when she goes out, and when all the servants have bought it, no matter where she goes in the future.Even when walking in the garden, at least two servant girls must follow.

Knowing that Liu's mother thought that she had been looking out of the window silently just now to see a shop.Shuyao smiled: "When everything is settled, when we are free, mother will take us to go shopping." In her previous life, she only had the opportunity to visit these places when she came to the capital for the second time, and it was Aunt Lan who took her there. of.She really wanted to see the difference between the shops now and ten years later.

Ms. Liu happily agreed, she likes to read Shuyao's innocent, romantic, curious and playful reaction like other girls of her age.This is the expression of happiness and carefree, isn't it?

……

"It's here," Lan Jin saw from the corner of the raised curtain that Young Master Jin and the two young masters seemed to have dismounted from their horses.Cheers softly.

Sure enough, the carriage gradually slowed down, and soon, Mama Song's voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss Yao got off the carriage and arrived at the Hou Mansion."

Lan Jin opened the car door, and the smiling mother Song reached out to help Shuyao get out of the car: "Master Hou, the girl has to sit in the sedan chair for a while, today is just the time for Master Hou Muxiu, there is no need to go to court, Master Hou and his wife are waiting Now, Mr. Jin and the two young masters have already gone there first."

Shuyao responded obediently: "I'm sorry to bother Mother Song, but she even came to pick us up in person."

Three small sedan chairs were parked a few steps away, they were apricot red, orange, and cyan. Shuyao knew the rules of the Marquis of Weiyuan, and the apricot red sedan was prepared for her, while the orange and cyan sedan chairs were for her. Mama Liu and Mama Song sat respectively.

The surname of the Weiyuan Houfu is Mu, and the Mu family is also a big family with strict rules. In the words of my mother, Zhen Zirou, there are many rules and regulations.For example, in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, you can tell what kind of people are sitting in the sedan chair by seeing the color of the sedan chair. Generally, the brown sedan chair is for the old man and the old lady, the beige sedan chair is for the old and the young, and the dark red sedan chair is for the old and the young. Married mistresses such as wives and young wives, and apricot red are unmarried girls (including cousin girls). If a male guest encounters an apricot red sedan chair on the road, he must take the initiative to avoid it.There are also orange sedan chairs for guests, and blue sedan chairs will be used by the disgraced mothers and maids in the house.

Sure enough, Mother Song first helped Shuyao onto the apricot red sedan chair.Shuyao's heart is very warm, in the past and present, Aunt Lan has always regarded her as her own daughter.In her previous life, she had no chance to see Aunt Lan in the first few years when she first came to Beijing. When she came to Beijing for the second time, Aunt Lan got a letter from her elder brother and sent someone to pick her up. crying with her.After reconciling with Xue Minglang, she went to live in the Marquis of Weiyuan for a while. Not only did Aunt Lan not dislike her, but she also taught her how to deal with the world and how to manage the inner house. A small yard was moved out.I don't know how sad Aunt Lan must have been when she heard the news of her death, especially how many men were burned to death together...

The sedan chair landed lightly, and Lan Jin who was beside him raised the curtain to help Shuyao get off the sedan chair, and Mama Liu and Mama Song who were in the sedan chair behind also came over.

Mother Song led the way, and a group of people entered the hall. There were quite a lot of people sitting in the hall, Jin Xida and Shujie brothers were already sitting in it.

A middle-aged couple sat on the main seat.The man was dressed in a gold-rimmed black robe, and his hair was tied in a golden crown. He was serious but not stiff, and there was even a barely visible softness at the corner of his mouth at this moment.The woman's face is like a full moon, and her facial features are beautiful. She wears a light blue gauze dress with a high collar, and a hazy pink double-breasted brocade thin jacket with white fur and dark red brocade edges. In the middle, there is a gorgeous red jadeite with dripping pearls and a phoenix head in golden steps, and two strands of gold silk wipe the forehead, which is gorgeous and solemn.

As soon as Shuyao recognized Weiyuan Hou and his wife, tears overflowed her eyes uncontrollably: "Aunt Lan", she suddenly felt that she had lost her composure. "He added, "Aunt Lan? Are you Aunt Lan?"

Because Shuyao concealed it quickly, everyone didn't suspect anything, the little girl always loves to cry.

Yao Xuelan, who was on the main seat, couldn't hold back her eyes, and stretched out her hands to Shuyao: "Yes, I am Aunt Lan, Yao Er, come to Aunt Lan, my good boy, you have suffered a lot. .Now that you are in the capital, Aunt Lan will be your aunt from now on."

"Aunt Lan..." Shuyao threw herself into Yao Xuelan's arms, "Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Yao Xuelan's tears were also like pearls with broken strings: "Good boy, don't cry anymore, you really look like your mother, just like a boy carved out of a mold. Good boy, Aunt Lan has always been concerned about you these few years. I was thinking of you, if I didn't think that you would keep filial piety for your parents, I would have brought you into the capital a long time ago."

"Ahem" Weiyuanhou couldn't help but said: "Women are really made of water! Look at you two, isn't this a good thing? Why are you crying with your head in your arms? We live so close in the future, and wanting to meet is only two It's only a quarter of an hour's drive away. If you're really panicking, it's easy to take Yao'er to the mansion to stay with you for a few days."

Yao Xuelan wiped away Shuyao's tears with a handkerchief, and sealed her own eyes: "Isn't it? It's a good day, we don't want to cry anymore."

Shuyao also quickly stood up and bowed to Lord Hou: "Shuyao has seen Lord Hou."

"Good boy, get up. You can just call your uncle in the future. In this Hou's mansion, it's like being in your own home. You don't have to be restrained. Your Aunt Lan always complains that you haven't given birth to a daughter. It's all right now. You can come to the mansion more often in the future." Accompany you, Aunt Lan." Marquis Weiyuan has three concubine sons, two concubine sons, and only one concubine daughter, but she was born to the aunt she dislikes the most, and she is cowardly and cowardly. She dare not raise her eyes when she sees him. Hi, in comparison, he also likes the two nieces more.Now, Jian Shuyao is beautiful, cute and generous, and it is a match for her eyes.

"Yes, Uncle..." Shuyao is kind and not hypocritical.Marquis Weiyuan treated her well in her previous life, because she had grown up and married at that time, and Marquis Weiyuan was a man, so she didn't have much contact with her. Far Hou support is impossible.At that time Xue Minglang didn't want to let her out of the house at all, firstly he was afraid of getting a reputation of abandoning the mess, and secondly he wanted to use Shuyao's extraordinary embroidery skills to benefit him.

"Good boy," Marquis Weiyuan became more and more satisfied, thinking that the children raised by Yen Zirou were really different. Both boys were outstanding, and this girl was also outstanding. With the three years of Mammy Liu's teaching, she was nothing compared to the girl from a big family. not bad.It's a pity that the eldest two of my three sons are already engaged, and the youngest is one and a half years younger than Shuyao. As a concubine, let alone my wife would not agree, even I feel wronged by Shuyao.

"Father, mother, it's time to introduce us." It was Weiyuanhou's third son, seven-year-old Mu Yongjing who spoke eagerly.

"Puchi..." Yao Xuelan pointed at her youngest son and said angrily, "This little monkey, your turn starts from your elder brother, you are the youngest one, go back in line."

Mu Yongjing pouted aggrievedly: "I discussed it with the eldest brother and the second brother, and we will start with the youngest today."

Marquis Weiyuan's eldest son, Mu Yongqi, happily testified for his younger brother: "Yes, yes, from the fifth day of childhood today, each of us took a bribe from him with a piece of western sugar." Everyone laughed.

Mu Yongjing is the youngest child in Weiyuanhou's house. Originally, Yao Xuelan was looking forward to having a daughter, so she had already prepared her name, "Mu Yongjing", but she was born again as a brat, so she had to change it to "Mu Yongjing". Mu Yongjing".Mu Yongjing's two direct brothers are much older than him, and it's hard to find Shuwen and Shuyao who are only one and a half years older. I also heard that Shuwen is good at martial arts, and that Shuyao has white tigers and red foxes. Shuwen hooked his shoulders and went to play in Xia Mansion, so he couldn't be bothered with his parents lingering on a long conversation. (To be continued.
