Nongmen Rice Flower Fragrance

Chapter 70 Sun Mansion ([-])

It was already evening on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month when Li Xin and shopkeeper Sun arrived in the capital.Li Xin's family were all children, so shopkeeper Sun deliberately walked slowly along the way.

Although it was the first time to travel far away, fortunately, Li Xin's children were also very upbeat, and they didn't feel any discomfort, and no one got motion sickness.At the beginning, Li Xin was worried that Wenbo and the others would get motion sickness. Although the roads along the way were all official roads, they were all ordinary dirt roads, not the highways of the previous life.Even on the highway in the previous life, many people would get motion sickness, and the bodies of Wenbo and others are still very competitive.

Although there is nothing wrong with my body, after so many days of traveling, I still feel a little boring after the excitement at the beginning has passed.

Finally arrived in the capital, both Wen Hao and Yue Ting shouted and danced happily.Li Xin also opened the curtain and looked out, the majestic city gate, with two large characters chiseled on the gate - Jiankang.

As the new year is approaching, the taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger. There are firecrackers sounding everywhere. Some are set off early, and the fireworks have already risen, and then burst into bloom in mid-air.There were a lot of carriages in the capital, and after a while it was Li Xin's and his party's turn. It was getting late, the group entered the city gate, and then left for Sun's house without stopping.

When the carriage stopped, Zhu Yong opened the curtain to let Li Xin and his siblings get out of the carriage. Li Xin jumped out of the carriage first, then Wen Bo himself also got off, Wen Hao followed suit, and turned around to give Yuexiang a hand. Li Xin stepped forward and hugged Yueting down.The Sun family is indeed very wealthy. The house alone occupies more than half of the street. The outside is surrounded by high walls, so you can't see the scene inside, but you can imagine how the courtyard is deep and the houses are numerous.

When the carriage passed by the main gate, Li Xin took a look. It really looked like a wealthy family. The gate was open and there were two large gold characters on the plaque - Sun Mansion.The door is closed, and no one is watching, so we can meet each other. The door is not open when there is nothing to do on weekdays.They bypassed the main gate and entered the East Corner Gate. Shopkeeper Sun and the concierge should be very familiar, so they went up and said a few words, and the concierge welcomed them in.The threshold was removed again, and even the carriage was driven in. Someone took Zhu Yong to park the carriage first.

Shopkeeper Sun led Li Xin and the others slowly inside. Li Xin looked at the surrounding environment from the corner of his eye as he walked.It really looks like a southern courtyard, with some garden features.Looking at the past along the way, there is the sound of running water, rockery ponds, pavilions, and so on.Exotic flowers and plants, green pines and cypresses, the scenery is unique.

After walking not far, a small sedan chair stopped in front of them, and shopkeeper Sun let Li Xin and his brother get into the sedan chair.Li Xin asked Wenbo to get into the sedan chair, and she carried Yue Ting on her own.This was the first time in Li Xin's past and present lives that she sat in a sedan chair, and it was actually not very comfortable.Although the bearer walked steadily, he was a little rickety, not as comfortable as riding in a carriage.I really don’t know why people like to sit in sedan chairs at this time!It's not very comfortable, and the pace is not fast!
Li Xin didn't like sitting in a sedan chair very much. In fact, the biggest reason was that it was carried by people.In the previous life, I saw many kinds of motor vehicles, and they could start as long as they were refueling, and it didn't take much effort. Her family was used to that kind of life.Usually there is a carriage at home, and she is afraid that the horse will be tired, so she is not willing to let the horse draw too many things.This is true for horses, but even worse for people.Sitting in a sedan chair always makes her feel weird.She can't control what happens to others, but it's better not to use a sedan chair in the future.

The sedan chair was wobbly, and it took an unknown amount of time before it stopped.

"But it's here, it's later than in previous years! The old lady is already waiting." A woman's voice sounded from outside, and hearing the voice, I thought it was a refreshing person.

"It's been a little slower this year, but it's here today, isn't it?" the voice of shopkeeper Sun answered.

"The next one is the young lady of the Li family?"

"Yes."

Soon, someone lifted the curtain of the sedan chair that Li Xin was sitting on. It was a fifteen or sixteen year old girl who pulled Yue Ting out of the sedan chair with a smile on her face, and then turned around to help Li Xin.After getting out of the sedan chair, Wenbo and the others had already been helped out of the sedan chair.Shopkeeper Sun was talking to a woman in her fifties. She was well-dressed, her clothes were of good quality, and she had two golden hairpins on her hair. She was a respectable person in the mansion.

"Ah, this is the eldest girl, right? But she is really a beautiful girl. If the old lady saw it, she would not know how happy she is!" Seeing Li Xin approaching, the woman smiled and took Li Xin's hand.

"I don't know how to call my aunt?"

"My husband's family name is Wang, just call me Mrs. Wang."

"Don't dare, let me call you 'Aunt Wang'! We are from the countryside, if there is something inappropriate, don't take it wrong, Madam."

"Young lady can really talk. If you say you are a countryman like that, then we have no place to stand. The old lady is already waiting, girls and young ladies, please follow me in!" Aunt Wang said So he led the way on the front side and led Li Xin and others inside.

In a blink of an eye, he turned into the courtyard, bypassed the large screen of red sandalwood and white marble, and the scene of the courtyard came into view.There are five houses on the front, three big houses and two side rooms. The house is open, so it must be very bright inside.There are three rooms on each side of the wing.The courtyard is spacious, with flowers and grasses, lush and full of vitality.

Outside the house is a circle of Chaoshou veranda, sitting on the veranda are a few girls dressed in red and green, all of them are young, and whether they are well dressed, they look good.Seeing that Aunt Wang was bringing someone with her, someone hurriedly reported to the inside, and at the same time raised the curtain of the door, Aunt Wang led Li Xin and her siblings inside.Yue Ting was also a little nervous, and held Li Xin's hand tightly.

After entering the house, there will be hot air rushing towards the face, and the little bit of cold air on the body will not be washed away.There should be winter plums inserted in the room, and the faint aroma of winter plums can be smelled, which is very pleasant.

On the right seat is a woman in her fifties, she looks about the same age as Aunt Wang, but she is dressed in a very old-fashioned way. She also wears plain silver hairpins and a few emerald jewelry on her head, which is quite beautiful. It feels like how old you are when you think about your own age.

"Old madam, take a quick look, the appearance of this girl from the Li family is not inferior to the ladies in the mansion, right?" Aunt Wang went up to greet the old madam, and said with a smile.From the tone of that speech, one can tell how good the relationship between Aunt Wang and the old lady is.

"I've met Mrs. Sun." Li Xin also saluted with Wen Bo and others.This is something I learned a lot before I was about to set off. I don't need to be outstanding, just don't make a fool of myself.

"They're all good boys, don't be too polite, come and sit down." Mrs. Sun took care of Li Xin and the others, and Li Xin dragged Yue Ting and walked over slowly.
