Rebirth of the Abandoned Concubine: The Poison Goddess Doctor

Chapter 376 Entering the mansion and seeing the female relatives of the Gongyi mansion

Ling Lan waited on Yingchu in the carriage, seeing that Yingchu was very interested in the outside world, she said: "Fighting is forbidden in the capital, if you want to fight, you can go to the martial arts arena. There is a martial arts arena where you can bet and gamble, and our Gongyi family has one."

Yingchu nodded, the imperial court and the great families strongly advocated martial arts, so it is no wonder that the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty favored martial arts and their customs were tough.

Two hours later, the carriage stopped outside a mansion.

Ling Lan jumped out of the carriage, took out the footstool, and supported Ying Chu to get down.At this time, the sky was completely dark, and three pairs of red lanterns were hung on both sides of the gate. Through the light of the fire, one could see clearly above the solemn and solemn gate, there was a golden plaque on a black background, with the words "Qihou Mansion" written on it. , and the emperor's seal is added next to it, which shows that it is a gift from the emperor.

The four major families all have duke titles, which are hereditary.However, the Gongyi family was involved in a treason case a hundred years ago, and the title was deposed, and then the Gongyi family supported the prince to ascend the throne, and then regained the marquis.The other three major families are still duke titles.

In today's Gongyi Mansion, it is the old man who inherits the title, but the old man has been paralyzed in bed all year round, and has long been out of control. The mansion is now in charge of the old man.

The butler came down from the carriage behind, walked up to Yingchu, and made a gesture of invitation: "Miss Si, please go home."

Only the left one of the three vermilion lacquered doors was opened, Yingchu held Linglan's hand, walked up the steps, and walked slowly into the Gongyi Mansion.

From today onwards, she will temporarily abandon her identity as Hua Yingchu and become the Fourth Miss of the Gongyi Family. She has a hunch that this identity will accompany her for a long time.

After entering the door, the butler handed Yingchu to a blessed-looking nanny, and went to report the situation to the head of the family.

Mammy greeted Yingchu casually, without a word of nonsense, said directly: "Masters have been waiting for Miss Fourth for a long time, Miss Fourth can go with the servants." After speaking, she turned around and left without waiting for Yingchu to reply.

Ling Lan whispered to Yingchu next to her, "This is Nanny Guo who is next to Da Furen, she is very valued by Da Furen, and the ladies are very polite to her."

With the example of the housekeeper first, it is not surprising that Nanny Guo is disrespectful to her.

The mansion of Gongyifu is very large, it only took a quarter of an hour to walk through the front yard.Passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, the road to the back house is more winding and longer. Passing through the promenade, you can see waterside pavilions, bypass pavilions, and meet stone bridges. One scene is within another, and the first floor is connected to a pavilion, as if you can’t walk all the time. end.

Probably because she wanted to give her this "country girl who has never seen the world" a disgrace. There is a shortcut to take, but Mother Guo wants to take her around so that she can fully understand how luxurious Gongyi Mansion is.

Ling Lan secretly took a few glances at Yingchu's expression. The Fourth Miss grew up on the island. Although the Third Master's family had a lot of money, she still had a business name on it. No matter how rich she was, the house could not pass Officials and officials.

I thought that Miss Fourth would be amazed and envious when she saw the grandeur of the Gongyi Mansion when she returned to the mansion, but she didn't expect that Miss Fourth's expression was indifferent, and she just glanced at everything around her, as if she had been used to it for a long time.

Ling Lan quickly lowered her eyes, Miss Fourth made her feel too unpredictable, although Miss Fourth never showed her face except the one time on the boat, she felt more and more afraid.

Half an hour later, Nanny Guo in front finally stopped outside a moon gate.

Yingchu looked up at the lettering on the door, and wrote: Jingfuyuan.

Nanny Guo said to the old woman guarding the door: "Go and tell the old lady that Miss Fourth is here."

A woman went in to spread the message, and came back soon: "The old lady let Miss Fourth go in."

Yingchu walked into Jingfu Garden, and found that the garden was like a shrunken Gongyi Mansion, everything that was outside was found in the garden, and what was not outside was also inside.This garden is not only extremely luxurious, but also has a lot of servants. Walking all the way, Yingchu met no less than fifty maidservants.

Just looking at this garden, Yingchu can guess the temperament of the old lady, who is extravagant and enjoys pleasure, and is the only one who respects me.

After arriving outside the main house, after another notification, Yingchu finally saw the old lady Gongyi.

The old lady is over five years old, but she is very well maintained. Some small wrinkles on her ruddy face do not make her look old, but instead make her reveal the depth that has been baptized by time.

Yingchu walked forward in small steps, and gave a big gift to the old lady sitting on the grand teacher's chair: "Granddaughter is welcome, visit grandma, may grandma live in good health and enjoy the family forever."

"Get up," the old lady's voice sounded gentle, but inside she was cold, "It's good to be back."

Yingchu got up and greeted the other two wives who were sitting next to her.

The eldest wife, Qi (qi) Guan, was born in the Qi Guan family, a direct descendant, marrying into Gongyi's family is considered a low marriage.Her face is only ordinary, but her whole body is very dignified, her eyes are very powerful when looking at people, and Ying Chu's salute is just nodding condescendingly.

The second wife's Su's family background can be considered a prominent family, but it can't compare with Qi Guan and Gong Yi.But she was much more beautiful when she was born, she looked very young, she had a smile on her face, and her eyes were gentle, looking at Yingchu's eyes was like looking at her own daughter.

"This is your third sister Keshu and fifth sister Kechan," the second lady introduced the two girls next to Yingchu, "You are about the same age, you should get along well in the future."

There are five daughters in the direct line of Gongyi's family, apart from the eldest and second daughters who are already married, the third sister, fifth sister and Yingchu present are the remaining three.There were more than a dozen other concubines, but none of them appeared here. Yingchu had heard Ling Lan say on the way that the rules in the mansion were extremely strict, with a clear distinction between superiors and inferiors. No.

"I've seen the third sister and the fifth sister." Yingchu said.

These two girls are both sixteen or seventeen years old. Speaking of which, they are both younger than Yingchu, but Yingchu is nourished by a spiritual spring, and looks like a twenty-eight girl, even younger than the younger Fifth Miss. .

The third lady, Gongyi Keshu, was almost carved out of the same mold as the second lady. She was dressed in a light purple dress like a dream, and she moved gracefully and gracefully.She walked up to Yingchu with a caring expression on her face.

"Fourth sister, get up quickly. I thought that I would see my fourth sister half a month ago. I didn't expect an accident. When I think that my fourth sister has been trapped at sea for so long, I feel scared. Grandma, mother and second aunt are all worried. I can't sleep or eat, but fortunately God has mercy, the fourth sister has returned safely, it's really great!" Gongyi Keshu's eyes turned red as she said that.

"Thank you, Third Sister, for your concern," Yingchu said with tears in his eyes, "My sister also thought that she would never see her relatives again. Fortunately, my grandmother and all the elders cared about me and rescued me from the sea of ​​suffering. Now that I think about it, it seems like Like a lifetime away."
