Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 52

While their thoughts were spinning, a group of people had already reached the curved corridor. The courtyard door of Donghua Residence was open, and there were a few maidservants carrying lamps standing in front of the door.

Qin Su raised her eyes to look at the sky.

The sky is like an upside-down lake, dark blue with faint purple, and fine snowflakes are embedded in the sky, like gray silk flocks, which turn into amber-like crystals when they fall into the halo of lights.

After sending away the rest of the people, she helped Ali to the corridor of the main room, waiting for Mrs. Lin to get up.

Not long after, all the seniors in the east courtyard were present.After all, Qin Yanrou was still young and couldn't bear the sleepiness. She nodded her head on her chest all the way, like a chicken pecking at rice. When she saluted her sisters, her eyes were empty, Qin Su looked funny.Qin Yanwan asked the maid to hold her and let her sleep for a while.

After a while, Mrs. Lin also got up from the couch, and after washing and grooming, she led her children to Dongxuan Pavilion to pick up Mrs. Wu, and then headed for the gate in a mighty manner.

Mrs. Wu is old, she sat in a bag and walked at the end, and Mrs. Lin led everyone in front. A group of people came out from the path outside Dongxuan Pavilion, walked along the veranda and passed through a courtyard, and a tall man appeared in front of him. The blue brick wall, beyond the high wall is the main courtyard.

Because there is no curved corridor under the wall, there is only a road paved with big stones, so when walking to this place, oilcloth umbrellas with handles are gradually propped up in the crowd.If someone looks at it from a high position, they will feel that this situation is like a group of walking mushrooms, moving slowly in the fine snow.

Qin Su pushed the umbrella back two points and looked around.

Flower trees and pavilions were planted on both sides of the road, just like a garden. Lanterns were lit high and low among the flowers and trees, reflecting the crystal trees and jade branches all over the courtyard.

Turning a corner along the stone road, there are two black lacquered gates in front of you. There have been servants waiting by the gates. At this time, they pushed open the gates, and everyone came out in a file, and came to a large garden in the main courtyard.

This garden occupies a small area. Apart from sparse flowers and trees, there is also a wide road paved with large gray bricks, which can be used for carriages.On both sides of the wide road are gravel paths leading to the gates of the East and West courtyards.

These two gates are usually closed, except for the first and fifteenth days of each month, they will only be opened when guests come to the gate.Normally, people come and go between the East, West and Main courtyards through the corner gate, which is connected by a long and narrow path, but it is located in the back garden area, right behind Dehui Hall.

Qin Su followed the crowd out of the main entrance, and saw the two opposite doors open from a distance, and a few maids with umbrellas came out.Looking through the fine snow in the sky, the maid's moon white cloth dress and azure cloth skirt are like green willows in the snow, with the belt fluttering in the wind, it is indescribably beautiful.

Qin Su looked at them, then at the maidservants of the East Court in blue clothes and skirts, and lowered her eyes.

The clothes and colors of the servants of the Qin family are different, and there are clear rules.

The servants in the east courtyard all wear green clothes, while the west courtyard wears white and daisy. As for the main courtyard, because Mrs. Tai is old, all the servants wear agarwood brown, ink gray or cocoon-colored clothes.

Just from the clothes of the servants, one can see the clear distinction between these courtyards.

At this time, the goddesses of the West Courtyard looked awe-inspiring, and they lined up on both sides in an orderly manner after going out, and then another group of people came out, and the maid who carried the lamp at the head was also dressed in the same way, with a big "" written on the lantern. West" word.

Next, there were a few men and women who cut down their staffs and walked out gracefully.

Qin Su glanced around and saw Mrs. Zhong in the crowd at a glance, that is, Mrs. Xiyuan.

Zhong's face is beautiful and her temperament is gentle. Qin Su remembers that she should be in her early thirties, but she looks like a woman in her twenties. Compared with Lin's beauty, she has an indescribable charm.

On Zhong's left side are three handsome young men, all of whom are handsome, they are 15-year-old Erlang Qin Yanzhao, 14-year-old Sanlang Qin Yanbai and 11-year-old Shiro Qin Yanzhi.On Zhong's right are two young ladies, the third mother Qin Yanli and the fourth mother Qin Yantang, both of whom are also beautiful.

After this group of people went out, they still stood silently by the door, and after a while, they saw four healthy women in plain clothes walking out carrying a bag, and an old woman was sitting on the bag, with a long face, light eyebrows and phoenix eyes. , with a straight nose, she could vaguely see her youthful beauty, but it was the old lady of the West Court—— Mrs. Gao.

Like Mrs. Wu, she also walked at the end of the line, and walked out of the courtyard almost at the same time as Mrs. Wu.

The two teams stood in front of their respective gates, as if two armies were facing each other, looking at each other from a distance across a large courtyard in the middle.

A yellowish halo was emitted from the lanterns, heavy snow was flying between the sky and the earth, everyone's clothes and hair stirred the snowflakes, and there was a slight sound on the oil umbrella.

This short and silent moment is as mysterious as a Taoist thought.

However, this thought is not eternity in the Dao realm, but a silent contest between the two wives.

Both Lin and Zhong seemed to be waiting, to see who could lose their composure first, and who would say hello to each other first.

After an unknown amount of time, Qin Su was so bored that she wanted to yawn quietly, when she suddenly heard a very light cough from the crowd.

"It's so early, Mrs. Zhong." Zhong was the first to break the silence, with a faint smile on his cheek,

"Well, it's so early for my wife." Lin replied flatly.

The two stood at a distance and looked at each other, neither of them took half a step forward.

After a moment, Mrs. Lin nodded to Mrs. Zhong, turned her feet, turned in the same direction, and went straight to the direction of Dehui Hall.

As soon as she moved, Qin Su and the others followed suit.While walking, Qin Su looked at it from the corner of her eye, but saw that Zhong Shi also turned around on the spot, walked in the same direction as Lin Shi, and stepped onto the corridor on the side of the west gate.

Therefore, on this snowy morning, two groups of people appeared on the broad road of the main courtyard of the Qin Palace. Although these two groups were mostly women and children, they formed an orderly formation like an army. Travel in one direction.

Qin Su lowered his eyes in no surprise.

This is one of the strange phenomena in the Qin Mansion, and it happens on time on the first and fifteenth day of every Lunar New Year.

It wasn't until they reached the gate of Dehui Hall that the two teams gradually closed up, and low voices were heard from the crowd.

This is the juniors of the Qin family greeting each other.

Although the atmosphere of the East and West courtyards is weird, it does not prevent the juniors from getting along.

Qin Su had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and immediately greeted Qin Yanzhao, and greeted the other two cousins.

The Qin family put the daughters of the two houses together and sequenced their teeth. In terms of blood, they are indeed brothers and sisters.

After seeing that the ceremony was over, Qin Su glanced behind Qin Yanzhao, but saw a little boy in black clothes standing with his hands down, she didn't recognize him.

Ah Cheng has not recovered from his illness.

At that moment, Qin Su's disappointment was almost beyond words.

She and Zhou Yu haven't seen each other for several days, and they don't know about Ah Cheng's recent situation.But she always thought that after such a long time, Ah Cheng should recover from his illness no matter what, and today/she also came here with the hope of seeing A Cheng, but she didn't think that there was no one who saw him at all.

A Cheng is not here, so how can she know about the current situation of the second brother?
