Chapter 69: The Sun Mansion (1)
It was already the evening of the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month when Li Xin and Shopkeeper Sun arrived in the capital. Everyone in Li Xin's family was a child, so Shopkeeper Sun deliberately walked slower along the way.
Although it was their first time traveling far away, fortunately, Li Xin's children were very upbeat and did not feel any discomfort, and none of them got carsick. At first, Li Xin was worried that Wenbo and the others would get carsick, even though they were walking along the way.
They are all official roads, but they are also ordinary dirt roads, not the highways of the past life. Even on the highways of the previous life, many people would get motion sickness, and the bodies of Wenbo and others are still very good.
Although there is nothing wrong with my body, after traveling for so many days, after the initial excitement has passed, I still feel a little boring.
Finally arriving in the capital, Wen Hao and Yue Ting both screamed and jumped for joy. Li Xin also opened the curtain and looked out. The towering city gate had two big characters chiselled on it - Jiankang.
As the New Year is approaching, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. There are sounds of firecrackers everywhere. Some have been set off early. There are already fireworks rising and then bursting into bloom in the air. There are many carriages in the capital. After a while,
It was the turn of Li Xin and his party. It was getting late. They entered the city gate and headed towards Sun's house without stopping.
When the carriage stopped, Zhu Yong opened the curtain and let Li Xin and his sisters get out of the carriage. Li Xin jumped out of the carriage first, and then Wenbo got off as well. Wen Hao followed suit and turned around to give Yuexiang a hand.
, Li Xin stepped forward and hugged Yueting down. The Sun family was indeed very wealthy. The house alone occupied most of the street. There was a high wall outside and the scene inside could not be seen, but it could
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 wide and there were two big gold characters on the plaque - Sun Mansion. The gate was closed and no one was watching. It was okay.
When we met, the gate was not open on weekdays when nothing happened. They walked around the gate and entered through the east corner gate. Shopkeeper Sun must be familiar with the concierge, so he went up and said a few words to the concierge.
The people welcomed them in. They also opened the threshold and drove the carriage in. Someone took Zhu Yong to park the carriage first.
Shopkeeper Sun took Li Xin and his brothers and sisters and walked slowly inside. Li Xin looked at the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision as he walked. It really looked like a southern courtyard, with some garden features.
Looking over, there are the sounds of flowing water, rockeries, ponds, pavilions, and more. Strange flowers and plants, green pines and cypresses, the scenery is unique.
Not far away, a small sedan stopped in front of them. Shopkeeper Sun asked Li Xin and his sisters to get on the sedan. Li Xin asked Wenbo and others to get on the sedan, and she went up with Yueting in her arms. This was Li Xin again.
This was the first time in Xin's life that he was riding in a sedan chair, and it was actually not very comfortable. Although the bearer's movements were relatively stable, it was also a bit shaky and not as comfortable as riding in a carriage. I really don't know what people did at this time.
I just like riding in a sedan chair! It’s not very comfortable and the pace is not fast!
Li Xin doesn't like riding in sedans. In fact, the biggest reason is because they are carried by people. In her previous life, she saw many kinds of motor vehicles, and they can be driven as long as they refuel, and it doesn't take a lot of effort. Her family
She was used to that kind of life. She usually had a carriage at home, and she was afraid that the horse would be tired, so she was reluctant to let the horse carry too many things. This was not true for horses, but even worse for people. Sitting in a sedan always made her feel weird.
Weird. She can't control what other people do, but it's better not to use a sedan in the future.
The sedan was swaying and I didn't know how long it took before it stopped.
"But we're here, but it's later than usual! The old lady is already waiting." A woman's voice sounded outside, and listening to the voice, I felt that she was a cheerful person.
"It's been a little slower this year, but we've arrived today, right?" The voice that answered was shopkeeper Sun.
"Is that the Young Master of the Li family behind you?"
"Yes."
Soon someone lifted the curtain of the sedan Li Xin was sitting on. It was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. She pulled Yueting out of the sedan with a smile on her face, and then turned around to help Li Xin. After getting out of the sedan, several Wenbo and others
He was also being helped out of the sedan chair. The person who was talking to shopkeeper Sun was a woman in her fifties. She was dressed very decently. Her clothes were of good quality and she had two gold hairpins in her hair. She looked at her.
I knew he was a pretty respectable person in the house.
"Ah, this is the big girl, right? She is really a beautiful girl. If the old lady saw it, she would be so happy!" When the woman saw Li Xin approaching, she smiled and took Li Xin's hand.
"I wonder what I call you, aunt?"
"My husband's family name is Wang, so just call me Mrs. Wang."
"How dare you, then let me call you 'Aunt Wang'! If we come from the countryside and do something inappropriate, please don't be offended, Auntie."
"Girls are really good at talking. If you say you're from the country, then there's no place for us to stand. The old lady is already waiting. Girls, please follow me in quickly!" said Aunt Wang.
Then he led the way from the front and side, leading Li Xin and others inside.
In a blink of an eye, they entered the courtyard and bypassed the large red sandalwood screen and white marble screen, and the scene of the courtyard came into view. There were five rooms in the front, three large rooms and two wing rooms. The houses were wide and bright inside.
It is very spacious. There are wing rooms on both sides, each with three rooms. The courtyard is wide, with flowers and grass planted, and it is lush and full of vitality.
Outside the house is a circle of hand-painted verandahs, and there are several girls in red and green sitting on the veranda. They are all young and well-dressed, so they think it is a shame to come. Seeing Aunt Wang coming with someone, some people hurriedly
She reported inside and raised the door curtain at the same time. Aunt Wang led Li Xin and her brothers inside. Yue Ting was also a little nervous and held Li Xin's hand tightly.
As soon as you enter the house, you will feel the heat hitting your face, and the little bit of coldness on your body will not be dissipated. There must be some wintersweet in the house, and you can smell the faint aroma of wintersweet, which is very pleasant.
At the front was a woman in her fifties. She looked about the same age as Aunt Wang, but she was dressed very maturely. She also wore a plain silver hairpin and some emerald jewelry on her head.
It feels like I am several years older than my own age.
"Old Madam, take a look. The appearance of this girl from the Li family is not inferior to that of the ladies in the mansion, right?" Aunt Wang went up to greet the old Madam and said with a smile. Upon hearing the tone of her voice,
, you can see how good the relationship between Aunt Wang and the old lady is.
"I've met Mrs. Sun." Li Xin also saluted with Wenbo and others. He had learned this well before setting off. There is no need to stand out, just don't embarrass yourself.
"They are all good children. Stop being polite and come and sit down." Mrs. Sun took care of Li Xin and the others, and Li Xin slowly walked over with Yue Ting in hand.
