Xu Jifang and Xu Lian were fascinated, these buildings were too unique and rare in their lives.

A small building with mahogany inlaid boxwood sunflower style is used in the window lintel, named "Linglong Pavilion", and the villa next to it is written "Sunset Half Rainbow", in addition to "Drunken Flower Fairy Pavilion", "Cherish Fragrance Pavilion", "Orchid Appreciation Courtyard", etc., and many couplets, most of the lower signatures are "Peach Blossom Master Lanxiang", and the penmanship is diverse.

And the pavilion hanging in mid-air, you need to look up, the four-story high cornices seem to connect to the sky, and the strings of wind chimes under the eaves tinkle and dong.

When I entered the courtyard, I suddenly changed to a different scene, with beautifully carved statues, Roman stone pillars, hot springs and flowing water, everything seemed to be foreign things that had never been seen before, giving people a bizarre feeling.

Follow the housekeeper woman into the garden cave door, a green tile railing around the small Sanying Jingsha, a few begonias are planted outside the railing, there are some cherry blossoms, the plantain is green and lovely, there are also a few stalagmites, and there is a row of bonsai on the ground.

The parrot on the porch flapped its wings and cried, "Who's coming, who's coming?" ”

There was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl who opened the soft curtain of Xidi brocade and asked, "Who is it?" ”

The woman in charge stood still and said, "The second master wants to see the young master." ”

The girl shook her head and said, "The girl and he have gone down, and they are not there." After saying that, he lowered the curtain.

Not to mention that Xu Jifang and Xu Lian returned with a tired and disappointed body, it turned out that Xu Ye and his wife asked him and Mu Lanxiang to go out secretly early in the morning in order to make the sullen Xu Yu happy, and few people knew.

Xu Ye has a scholar Lian'er, whose real name is He Liansheng, who has served Xu Ye to study since he was a child. Lian'er lost his father at the age of six, and his father was Xu Hao's personal soldier, and when he was alive, he gave his son the daughter of the Pan family in the village outside the city.

The Pan family is a farmer who studies and cultivates, has many relatives, and the family has 30 acres of land. Now that her daughter is older, she sees that Lian'er is quite good in Xu's Mansion. In the past two years, he has been in charge, so he urged the He family to marry.

Lian'er first discussed with her mother, and then asked Xu Ye's opinion, Xu Ye said that you want to start a family and start a business, and be a foreign manager, so as to help renovate the He family, six four-compartment houses, there is a sit-up outside, although the house is not much, but it is extraordinarily spacious. It is also the reason why the He family only has a mother and two sons.

This month, Lian'er married the daughter of the Pan family, Pan's nickname Sister Shou, one year younger than Lian'er, with snow-white skin, small figure, and delicate appearance. Because according to the custom, the Pan family wanted to come to meet the relatives, so Lian'er thought about inviting the eldest young master to come, so that he could boast in front of the Pan family's relatives and show that he had more face.

Xu Ye agreed. Just took my younger brothers, daughters-in-law and sisters to relax.

Lian Er was overjoyed by this, and said to his mother: "It's really rare, not only the eldest young master is coming, but even the two grandmothers, the second young master, and Miss Mu Wangfu are also coming!" Mother. You asked the neighbors to help clean up the inside and out, and I'm going to prepare a few more good tables for the feast. ”

Even Erniang was very happy when she heard this, and hurriedly chatted with her new daughter-in-law. cleaned the house overnight, and Lian'er came back to help her mother-in-law clean up. A few colorful sheds were set up in the courtyard, colored lanterns were hung, and a few villagers were asked to come and serve tea and wine. was busy until the second watch, and then they went back to the house to rest.

Sister Shou returned to the room after washing up and asked: "Tomorrow, the young masters and grandmothers in the house will come, and the people in the village often say that the Zhongding family is full of nobles from all over the world, and it is said that all of them are born like immortals." I just think that the people in this world are all the same, do they have more eyes and more noses than us? Anyway, I don't believe it, but I'll see it tomorrow. ”

Lian'er said with a smile: "Let's just say that you are a countryman who sits in a well and watches the sky, and you have never opened your eyes." My young master is the descendant of Marshal Xu, the eldest son of the third master of Xu, the future British duke, and a relative of the Son of Heaven, this identity is not trivial, do you really think they are the same as the people in the village? Tomorrow will not only let you see the demeanor of the two young masters, but also let you see the grandmothers with your own eyes, afraid that you will think that Guanyin Fairy will appear? Ha ha! ”

"Phew!" Sister Shou pursed her lips, she always boasted that she was a beauty in the village, but she didn't believe that there were people who were more beautiful than her.

Lian'er smiled again: "You don't believe it? We'll see tomorrow. It's just your husband and I, who have been walking around the house since I was a child, and have a deep relationship with the eldest young master, my father was born and died for the third master, who dares not to look at me? In addition to the old lady and the eldest lady and other masters, who can compare to my Lian Ye with hundreds of people inside and outside? Who doesn't flatter me? Of course, it's not easy for me to get to this point, it's hard to explain the things, let's go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow to welcome them. ”

At dawn the next day, Lian'er got up early and instructed her mother and Sister Shou to let the people who came to help clean the inside and outside again.

"I'm going to greet you." After saying that, he hurried away.

The family was in full swing and sorted out again, and at this time, the relatives of the Pan family came one after another, and Pan's husband, wife and daughter-in-law also arrived.

Everyone saluted according to custom, and Mrs. Pan asked, "Where is my son-in-law?" ”

Sister Shou said proudly in front of her relatives: "The young grandparents in the house are coming today, and your son-in-law went to greet them early." ”

When the Pan family heard this, they were surprised, happy and frightened, and they were so shocked that the son-in-law of the He family really moved the great god out, and it was full of brilliance! Afraid of the unattainable nobleman who has nowhere to hide, what should I do when I meet? I am glad that I can see the nobles with my own eyes, greatly increase my knowledge, and I will have something to boast about in the future.

In an instant, the room suddenly fell silent, and everyone was silent and full of thoughts.

Unexpectedly, in order not to be rude, Brother Xu Ye went out very early, and saw Lian'er running in sweaty, and said to his mother: "People are here, mother, take your daughter-in-law out to greet and serve, don't forget to salute." ”

Rumble! The house suddenly exploded, and the relatives were so frightened that they were all hiding in the left and right wings. But they hid in the house, and they couldn't help pushing and squeezing each other to look out through the cracks in the doors and windows. There were a few wows in the chaos, and the children brought in were frightened by this battle and cried.

The adults were in a hurry, trying to coax the children not to cry, and at the same time not forgetting to poke their brains out. Suddenly, everyone held their breath.

Several apricot-colored warm sedan chairs were carried in, and more than a dozen women dressed in silk and satin followed on both sides and went directly to the main room. Then two handsome and dashing young men walked in, the older one was wearing a goose yellow robe and a crimson coat, and the younger one was wearing a scarlet and blue military uniform and a military hat.

Faintly, the big guy saw the palace beauty with the mink crown fox fur coming out of the sedan chair and the beautiful maids with various colors. There is really no one who is not handsome, and there is no one whose clothes are not bright and dazzling, and the eyes of these countrymen are all glazed and demented.

A few elders in the middle of the house whispered in their mouths: "Amitabha, this is the cultivation in the previous life, and I don't know if I broke thousands of wooden fish." ”

Lian'er invited the VIP to sit down in the main room, and Lian'er and her mother hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye, remembering her son's words, and said: "It is really an invitation to be honored by the faces of all the young masters and grandmothers." ”

Xu Ye smiled: "Auntie doesn't need to be polite. It's us who disturb your house. ”

Lian Erniang hurriedly said, "Don't dare, don't dare", turned around and took a piece of felt and laid it down, and said, "Daughter-in-law, come and kowtow." ”

"I don't need to." Xu Ye said: "Just meet Lian's daughter-in-law, but now I don't like this." ”

Sister Shou had already dressed up in the room, and she came out shyly and deliberately pretended to be Sven, slowly walked up the lotus step, lowered her head and entered the house, and stepped forward to say a blessing.

Xu Ye and the others all raised their bodies slightly as a reply. The brothers and Ripple Xiaoye Mu Lanxiang and the others all looked at Sister Shou, with a round face and a very fair complexion, which was smeared with fat powder. White and red, like a geisha in the Wa Kingdom, Yuxia couldn't help but laugh.

There is a yuan-colored embroidered silk hat on his forehead, thick black hair, and about a dozen five-color velvet flowers inserted in his sideburns. He wears a green silk sheepskin jacket on his upper body. added a wide inlaid green cloth armor, tied a red Hunan skirt at the waist, and dragged a red and green silk ribbon unique to the newcomer. A pair of embroidered shoes covered in red at his feet.

Although it was heavy makeup, but after careful inspection, everyone secretly said: "No wonder Lian'er praised his daughter-in-law for her good appearance, even if she was in the house, she was outstanding." ”

Sister Shou also secretly raised her eyes, and the whole person immediately fainted, and said secretly: "Oh God, there are really such beautiful people in this world!" ”

Ripple first took a red paper package from the maid's hand, a full twenty taels of silver, and said, "Thank you Lian'er sister-in-law for your hospitality, let's use these happy money to buy flowers and wear them." ”

Xiao Yezi is also twenty taels, Lanxiang is fifteen taels, and Xu Ye and his brothers are ten taels each, this is the new tradition of the Xu family, men are not as rich as women. The others also have salutes, or one or two halves, about a hundred taels.

Lian'er hurriedly thanked her, turned around and handed it to Sister Shou, and asked Sister Shou to thank her too, and Fang retreated.

Sister Shou held the silver but quickly returned to the room, put the silver on the table, and the Pan family gathered around.

Pan's old husband and wife smiled from ear to ear: "It's really worthy of a wealthy family, and the meeting gift will reward one hundred and ten taels of silver." Then he said to his daughter: "This is the inexhaustible creation of your life, you must be filial to your mother-in-law and serve your husband." ”

Sister Shou was also very happy, and in the envy of her sister-in-law and sisters, she wrapped the silver and hid it in a box and made her own private money.

Lian Er put the banquet on the table, and wanted to invite the Xu family and others into the room to eat and drink, who knew that Xu Ye said: "How can I take the lead?" I won't eat the meal, and I came out today to walk around the neighborhood, so you don't have to keep it, and there will be opportunities in the future. ”

Lian'er knew that the second young master was beaten, so he kept it for a while, anyway, everyone came and had enough face.

The Pan family is in a trance, and this group of nobles who seem to be in the sky come and go in a flash, leaving only a legend and not taking away a single cloud.

At this time, Lian Erniang came back from outside and said confidently: "Relatives should come out and sit down." ”

The big guys came out, and they were divided into seats according to their status, and even their children came back, and asked their mother to sit with their mother-in-law, and he took off his robe and went to the kitchen to help his daughter-in-law cook, so that the people in the village who helped could also go to eat.

The whole He family was laughing and changing the glasses, because there was a high-class banquet prepared, and Lian'er was not short of money, the Pan family ate one by one with a smile, and praised their son-in-law for having a heart.

At the wine table, people couldn't help but comment on which one of the Xu family had good looks and which one was stunning, and even some people argued from time to time because of disagreements. (To be continued......)
