Heir and wife

Chapter 37

On the second day after receiving the invitation from the Duke of Liang, after eating breakfast and drinking medicine early in the morning, the sky was completely bright.Mrs. Xu prepared presents and took her daughter to the entrance of Wuyi Lane.

Wuyi Lane was originally the place where the Xie and other clans of the Wei and Jin Dynasties lived together. Although in the past hundreds of years, the houses of Dukes of Daqi now mostly live on both sides of Zhuque Street, but this is not a place for ordinary people to live.

Xu Mansion is located at the entrance of Wuyi Lane, and when the mother and daughter arrived, the main entrance was already wide open.After the two were helped out of the car by the maidservant, a middle-aged beautiful woman dressed in fancy clothes walked out of the door, and hurriedly greeted them:

"You can count on my younger sister coming. I haven't seen you for a few years. Jiaojiao has become a big girl in the blink of an eye."

The beautiful woman's face was full of enthusiasm and excitement, and her voice was as clear and loud as pearls falling on a jade plate. This was Luo Weitong's eldest aunt Kong Shi.A few years ago, my uncle was an official in Lingnan for a term. Although the Luo family was not in the same city, the two places were not far apart, so the two families often walked around.Although Luo Weitong only stayed at home for two or three days every ten days, he was no stranger to his uncle's family.

"Auntie, I brought silk flowers for my cousin, which are the same as the ones I wear on my head. They look pretty."

When mentioning silk flowers, Kong's expression froze for a moment.When she was in Huizhou, Jiaojiao didn't pay much attention to dressing, but she looks cute at a young age, and she doesn't hide her cuteness by dressing casually.But this is Jinling City, she still went out to visit guests, it was too shabby to dress like this.

Looking up and looking around, and seeing the bustling people in front of Wuyi Lane not far away, Kong suddenly felt that Jiaojiao's outfit today was really suitable.

"Jiaojiao looks like my younger sister, and a silk flower on a hairpin will look good too. Younger sister, you have been looking forward to this day since you entered the city, since you are here, come in quickly."

Kong turned sideways, pulled up the mother and daughter affectionately, and warmly beckoned them in.Before crossing the threshold, Luo Weitong swept aside from the corner of his eye.This side of Bird Clothes Lane is lively, and there should be quite a few people who saw this scene.

Wen Xiangbo's mansion only sent a young man to pick them up on their way to Beijing, and they didn't even tidy up the yard where they put their luggage.On the other hand, Xu's house is just a foreigner's family, but the door is opened wide and the clan's wife comes out to welcome her in person.Comparing the front and back, people with a discerning eye can see the clues better.Along the way this morning, she vaguely heard rumors that there is Wenxiangbo's mansion in the market, and she doesn't mind making it more concrete that Wenxiangbo's mansion treats the concubines harshly.

Thinking with downcast eyes, he walked through the front yard to the back house of the women's family office.Along the way, Luo Weitong discovered that the Xu Mansion, which looks very well-behaved on the outside, is actually something different.The whole mansion is quite deep and wide. In addition, my grandfather worked in the Ministry of Industry and was proficient in wood and stone gardens. Every flower and tree in the mansion is exquisite, and every step and scene are exquisite.

So after seeing her grandmother and being hugged by the old man for a long time, she praised truthfully: "My grandmother's house is so beautiful. Living in such a yard, the spirit of the earth is easy to be outstanding."

One sentence made everyone in the Xu family smile, and the happiest one was the grandfather of the Xu family who heard this when he entered the door.Xu Kaiwu was nearly sixty years old and was then Minister of the Ministry of Industry.Although he came from a serious Jinshi background, he has a special liking for agriculture, forestry and water conservancy. When he was elected as a magistrate in the early years, he followed the example of Li Bing, the prefect of the Qin Dynasty, and built a reservoir and dam in the local area to completely solve the internal flood problem.For this merit, he was transferred to the Ministry of Industry after his term of office expired, and devoted himself to research for many years.Talented and willing to work hard, naturally he has made great achievements in water conservancy, and because of these achievements, he has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

He has been in the Ministry of Industry for many years, during which he has been staying in Jinling.Every plant and tree in the Xu Mansion in Wuyi Lane came from him, Luo Weitong's words really touched his heart.
