Tian Wenhai rushed to the study when he heard the news and talked with him for a while. Yan Gongzi got up to say goodbye, and Zhu Kui had to leave him for dinner.

"Brother doesn't have to be polite, let's come to Japan." Yan Gongzi said with a smile, "The younger brother still has two relatives to leave, and he has to go." Don't hide it from my brother, today I have moved to a nearby house, not far from Xu's house, why don't you ask my brother to move in the afternoon, let's discuss where to visit then, do you think so? ”

Tian Wenhai hurriedly said: "Since Yan Gongzi is going to go to a relative's house to walk around, the owner doesn't have to keep it, just obey the order." ”

When he said this, Zhu Kui was inconvenient to continue, so he sent Yan Gongzi out and got into a sedan chair and left.

Tian Wenhai said with a smile: "I think this Yan Gongzi is a bold person, and he is not particular about money. I know that the proprietor is suitable to keep him, but out of hypocrisy, who makes it inconvenient for us to send people under the fence now. I want to treat us like that yesterday, today the owner naturally wants to return to the host, and must double the hospitality, it is rare that he said that he wants to see relatives, but we do not entertain him, and ask us to go to him in the afternoon. Hehe, just eat him, be happy with him, why not spend a penny? ”

"You guy!" Zhu Kui slapped him with a smile, "Don't I have any money?" You have to calculate everything, you are born to be a slice, you can't change it in this life, are you and I being you? ”

Tian Wenhai muttered: "Look, don't say that I took advantage of you, but make fun of me, how wronged."

Unconsciously, Tian Wenhai began to call himself me, and Zhu Kui, who was poor and short-minded, was also unproductive, and he didn't care, it was also because he became more mature.

The two were talking and laughing in the study, and then the flower farmer came in and said, "Young Master Zhu, today Li Yuangongzi wants to thank the media for visiting the guests, and my second master asks if you are going to the banquet?" ”

"I'm busy, I don't have time." Zhu Kui said angrily, he was the same as Xu Xuan and the others. There is no one who is not envious and jealous of Xu Yu.

"The little one went back to report it?" The flower farmer didn't take him seriously either, and turned around to leave.

Zhu Kui sneered: "You are the master, I am gone, and no one is looking for me to play?" Sue sù you, I have a social exchange. ”

"Wait." Tian Wenhai screamed and asked, "Then did Gongzi Li marry the eldest girl of the Wang family?" ”

"yes." The flower farmer nodded.

"Haha!" Tian Wenhai suddenly laughed. Zhu Kui asked strangely, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"The owner, hehe, I'm laughing at that Li Gongzi." Tian Wenhai explained happily: "Thank you for the media visit, don't you know that the eldest girl of the Wang family is a famous old man?" I can't get married in my twenties, that Li Yuan picked up a white-haired girl, and she was stupid to show off everywhere, if I had to be angry. ”

"Is that so?" Zhu Kui was surprised. He turned to the flower farmer who was also surprised: "Did you hear that?" Hurry up and sue Xu Yu, I was teased on the spot, and I broke up unhappily. ”

The flower farmer ran back to sue Xu Yu, Xu Yu was stunned for a long time, frowned and said, "How should this be good?" ”

"Other people's affairs, young master, you don't care." The flower farmer said.

"Alas!" Xu Yu nodded lightly, what else can I do if the matter has come to this point? I can only give blessings.

The two of them were standing in the courtyard, and at this time Lan Chun came over, and the flower farmer shouted, "Sister Lan Chun." You're going out? ”

"Hmm." Lan Chun's expression today seemed a little strange.

Xu Yu said: "I'll go with you, it's just fine." ”

"No need." Lan Chun shook his head and said, "It's inconvenient to take you." ”

"Oh." Xu Yu and the flower farmer just watched her gradually walk away, Xu Yu said: "Sister Lan Chun has been very strange recently, why did she go out if she was fine?" ”

"Who knows."

Not to mention the master and servant, the two wondered at home. Lan Chun had feelings for each other because of Yang Dan, and she actually planned to go to the Yang Mansion to see it in person, of course, in the name of visiting the four young ladies of the Yang family.

When the carriage arrived at Yang's mansion, Yang Dan, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him. said: "Miss Lanchun, my sisters are waiting for you. ”

"Thank you." Lan Chun generously stretched out his hand and got out of the car with Yang Dan's arm.

Since ancient times, scholars have paid attention to treating people with courtesy. Xu Hao also advocated gentlemanly behavior in the newspaper, which is different from the etiquette and religion of men and women, but advocates that men and women can communicate openly and honestly, men should be courteous to women everywhere, and it is normal to have some physical contact with others, such as shaking hands with each other when they meet for the first time, and touching each other shoulder to shoulder on the road, there is no need to hide like a ghost, or think that they are not chaste. Do you want to kill people because of religion?

Naturally, this move was criticized by conservative scholars as absurd, but it also affected many people, such as boys and girls in schools. The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty is conservative, but it is not uncommon for women to go out, even in Jinling, it is easy for men to meet women outside, and they do not see women fleeing in panic, and it is not a big deal to accidentally have contact, so Xu Hao's concept just caters to the young people nowadays, and resolutely opposes the tendency of conservative customs to become more and more extreme.

More and more ladies go out to buy things, go out to listen to the drama or something, and fools will be willing to imprison themselves, in short, the social atmosphere is becoming more and more open. Who let Xu Hao stand on top of the temple, Zhu Zhanji is also a very enlightened emperor, because he has the right to speak, so that those Confucian scholars with extreme ideas are helpless.

To tell the truth, women who have been hiding in the house all their lives in ancient times, to be honest, are really a few, either rich or expensive, how can a woman never go out in her life? How can you go out without meeting a man?

Even so, Yang Dan, who saw the beauty stretching out her hand, was still a little frightened, hurriedly calmed down, and politely led Lan Chun into the door.

Lan Chun looked at the vermilion lacquer gate, a square open space inside, and in front of it was a frame building, with six rooms symmetrical on both sides, which were used for the officials' entourage to rest.

After walking over, there was a spacious courtyard in front of me, facing a row of foreign-style high-rise buildings, and there was a gatehouse at the bottom of the building, and the subordinates who listened to the errand stood up with a smile.

Lan Chun followed Yang Dan into another door without squinting, and the verandah on both sides surrounded a three-story small building. She guessed that it should be Yang Pu's outer study. Yang Dan led her around the corridor, and behind her was a hall, the doors and windows were all vermilion lacquer, and the color was bright red.

There is a platform behind the hall, which is made of white marble with carved railings, and then there is a red mansion with four corners of the eaves in the style of the Tang Dynasty, which should be used by the Yang family to receive orders and other major events. Xu Mansion also has a similar main hall, of course, it does not dare to call it a palace. This is a special term for the royal family, in fact, they are all the same buildings, nothing more than a grade of decoration or something.

Half willow and half cypress trees are planted around the Red Mansion, and the flowers and plants are red and green, which is very beautiful. When I got here, I saw a few servants. The women saw the young master coming with the guests from a distance, and flashed to the side early, but no one spoke.

Compared with the relatively relaxed atmosphere of the Xu family, the family style of the Yang family is obviously much more rigorous.

Between two rows of green willows. There are two moon gates, and the inside should be the inner house.

Walking into the moon gate on the east side, an interesting grape trellis replaces the rockery, covering the outer hall with white walls and green paint, and on one side is a long small corridor, furnished with large and small bonsai, which can be described as a ring of fat swallows and thin, dark red and light purple, clustered around the outer hall of the big ship structure.

Yang Dan smiled: "Miss Lanchun." What do you think of this house? ”

"It's funny." Lan Chun said.

Yang Dan said with a smile: "This is my small study and small living room, which I felt like a big ship facing the wind and waves, and I specially repaired it as it was." ”

"Yes, it's quiet to read here." Lan Chun said approvingly. It is not said that there are many similar buildings in Xufu.

Next, Yang Dan took her through the double door, and went around the corridor that didn't know how many songs, with bright flowers and willows everywhere, and won the beauty of the Jiangnan garden. If it was an ordinary person, he would have been unable to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, but Lan Chun had been accustomed to the wealthy compound since he was a child, and he habitually remembered the road when he came.

Didn't seem to bring yourself to the room. Lan Chun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she was really afraid to go to see Mrs. Yang, what would she say when she met? If you really have something with him, how will you face your mother-in-law in the future? was moved by Yang Dan's thoughtfulness, and his face turned red.

Fortunately, Yang Dan didn't notice that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl appeared in front of them as they walked, wearing a translucent Hunan skirt with a red flower and white background, and a green and emerald cotton jacket inside, shouting to the room: "Second Miss, the guest is here." ”

The little maid raised the bamboo curtain of Xiangfei, Yang Dan took a step back, letting Lan Chun go first, and he followed in.

Entering the door, Lan Chun saw a girl with a face like a full moon sitting on a chair, her appearance was somewhat similar to Yang Dan, her skin was more plump and white, and she was about twelve or thirteen years old, as if she had been to Xu's Mansion with Mrs. Yang last year.

The second lady of the Yang family, whose name is Yang Min, originally thought that the woman her brother recognized, took it for granted that Qin Huai was a famous prostitute and the like, looking at Lan Chun wearing a white palace dress, a white cloak, white satin shoes, and a string of crystal clear pearl necklaces around her neck.

The delicate face is shrewd and capable, looking at the face, you know that she is not a soft and weak person, looking forward to the radiant spirit, the temperament is pure without any wind and dust, obviously not with a maid, but a calm bearing of everyone's ladies, giving people a very special look.

At the age of eighteen or nineteen, he held the crow's bun, did not speak, his face was slightly crimson, and he looked at this side with a smile.

Yang Dan looked at the second sister in surprise and didn't wait for Lan Chun to salute, she took a step forward and reached out to hold Lan Chun's hand. He had never seen his second sister so kind and gentle to anyone, and he couldn't help but feel very proud in his heart, feeling that his vision was not bad.

Not to mention that Lan Chun ran to the Yang Mansion alone to find out, here Xu Yu pushed Li Yuan's thank-you banquet, Zhu Mingzhi and others went to Jieshoutang to watch the play, he walked around the corridor boredly alone, and unconsciously walked to Ye Qin's courtyard.

Seeing the new little girl Yu'er sitting in the house peeling lotus seeds, Xu Yu asked, "Why don't you ask the kitchen to be done?" ”

There was no one else in the room, Yu'er tilted her head and said: "These days, the snacks that the master eats are all made by our grandmother, saying that she is afraid that the cook will not be clean." ”

"Of anything my dad has eaten in the past twenty years, which one hasn't been cooked by my sister-in-law?" Xu Yu said with a smile, seeing that Yu'er spoke smartly, a bowl of lotus seeds was enough for her to peel, and the child, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, walked over to help her peel one.

Yu'er smiled: "Second young master, aren't you afraid of dirty hands?" ”

"What's the matter?" Xu Yu sat down and picked up another lotus seed, "I'm worried that I don't have anything to do, let's work and talk together." Homesick? To be a girl at such a young age, who are your parents? ”

"I do things at home all day long, and it's much more leisurely to come in, what is it to peel a bowl of lotus seeds?" Yu'er grinned, "My father is a night watchman, and my mother is a vegetable grower, and you don't know each other." ”

"Maybe." Xu Yu teased her with a match, until the lotus seeds were all peeled and stood up.

Yu'er also got up and said, "I'll get you some water to wash your hands." "There is more intimacy between the words.

"Don't be busy." Xu Yu strode out, looked back and smiled, "Come and play with me when you have time, I will turn around and say to my sister-in-law, we are friends." ”

"Friends?" Yu'er felt very surprised, regardless of her unwashed hands, she chased her skirt out, leaned on the doorpost, her fingers subconsciously reached into her mouth and bitten, looking at the back of the second young master gradually disappearing, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"I'm friends with the second young master." (To be continued......) R1292
