Chapter 181: Arrive at Fucheng
Chapter 181 Arrival in the prefecture
"Hey! You lose money! If you dare to hide things before you get married, who will teach you the rules!" Huang's sister-in-law was so angry that she raised her eyebrows, and with her hips on her shoulders, she was about to grab Huang Ying.
Huang Ying quickly ran away with the thing in his arms.
Huang's sister-in-law didn't expect her to do this, so she was stunned for a moment, and then chased out cursing.
The Wen family did not know that there were so many things going on here in Qing'an County.
Fucheng is the most prosperous place in Dizhou. Before entering the city, the two sisters of the Wen family were stunned by the majestic city wall. When they were young, the farthest place they went was the town. The archway is very impressive. Later, when they went to the county town, they felt that the gate of the county town was tall and solemn. Looking at the grandeur, they only realized how ignorant they were when they saw the city wall of the prefecture!
The city wall of Fucheng is so high that it seems that you can't see the top when you look up, and you can't see the edge. The soldiers guarding the gate look more imposing, as if they will draw their swords at any time. People dare not have any evil thoughts. At the time, the body stooped a little unconsciously.
The Wen family had to go through a careful check because it was a convoy entering the city. Fortunately, there was nothing suspicious about whether the car was a woman or a scholar. The soldiers let it go after a while.
After the carriage was far away, Wen Yuanzhen patted her chest, let out a long sigh of relief, and whispered, "Mother, it's so scary!"
Chen Ningya stroked her back soothingly, "There's nothing scary, they're just a routine thing, my mother will make you some soothing tea later."
"Mother, what's our family like? Is it more beautiful than the county magistrate's house?" Wen Yuanjing looked at Chen Ningya expectantly. The best house she'd ever seen was the county magistrate's house that she went to on the day of the flower viewing banquet. I don't know what the pavilions and pavilions are like.
Chen Ningya only felt that her little daughter was innocent and cute, she pinched her cheek, and said softly, "You can see for yourself."
Wen Yuanjing was very excited and looked ahead eagerly. At this moment, the driver's voice came in, "Mrs. Madam, you can put on a veil and hang up the curtains of the car to take a look at the scenery of this palace city."
The sisters immediately looked at Chen Ningya, "Can you?"
Chen Ningya nodded with a smile. The three of them covered half of their faces with handkerchiefs, and lifted the curtain of the car. The bustling scenery outside came into view in an instant. The streets of Fucheng were twice as wide as those of the county. The floors are stacked, the screams, the shouts, the laughter and the scolding, the sounds are full of excitement, and it is amazing to look at.
"It's so lively!" Wen Yuanzhen sighed, unable to see it at a glance.
Chen Ningya covered her mouth and chuckled, "This is Fucheng, naturally it is lively, but it's normal, if you want to see the real liveliness, you have to go to the capital or Luoyang, the capital is the imperial capital, the place where the world's talents gather, where is it? You can also see blond foreigners, and many strange things. The most famous one in Luoyang is the peony. They all say that 'only the peony is a true national color, and the flowers move the capital', and the annual Luoyang peony festival is When the dignitaries, heroes, literati and lofty ideals gather. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can go to learn a lot."
The two sisters of the Wen family were fascinated, peeping at each other, a look of determination flashed in their eyes, Luoyang Flower Fair, they are going!
During the journey, the motorcade gradually deviates from the bustling and lively streets, and the surrounding environment becomes colder and colder, with high walls and gray tiles, a gate and a deep courtyard, and there is not even a single voice outside. Most of them still travel in the same carriage as them.
Wen Yuanjing sighed: "There are so many carriages! There are not so many in the county seat!"
I feel that the streets in the east and west prefectures, which are rare in the county town, are all rotten. This is Wen Yuanjing's deepest feeling.
Wen Yuanzhen nodded in agreement and muttered, "But it's understandable. This is a palace city, and there is no shortage of rich people. We have never seen ordinary small yards along the way, they are all big mansions like this."
The driver hurriedly explained: "Miss, that's not the case. The city is like the county seat, and the places where you live are divided into three, six, nine, and nine. The old man's house was bought in this wealthy area, so you naturally won't see those little ones. house."
"Are all the rich people living here?" Wen Yuanjing said to herself naturally, and asked Chen Ningya, "Mother, are we rich people too?"
Chen Ningya was stunned for a moment, how do you answer this? Saying that their family has no money, isn't that cheating children? Say they are rich? That money isn't even rich.
For the first time, she had doubts about her family's wealth.
Fortunately, Wen Yuanjing didn't have to ask one, two or three questions. Seeing Chen Ningya was thinking, she stopped asking and stuck her head out to look.
The carriage in front stopped after a while, and the driver said at the same time, "Miss, we are here. The house in front is Mr. Ji's house. The house bought by the master is adjacent to Mr. Ji."
The three were helped by the servants to get off the carriage. Wen Yuanliang and Lao Jitou in front had already begun to ask the servants to bring their luggage into the house. Wen Yuanliang settled the money with the **** team by the way, and the **** team did not delay. withdrew.
As soon as they leave, the rest are their own people.
Wen Yuanliang put Lao Jitou's things in, and then ran over to open the door in a hurry, "I have the key to the house, and Dad has the key. No one has lived in it for a long time, and I don't know if Dad sent it when he came over. People cleaned up."
With that said, Wen Yuanliang pushed open the door and let Chen Ningya and the others go in first. The place just entered the door was a shadow wall, which looked majestic, not like ordinary people. The first person to enter the Moon Gate was the inverted room. There are four connected rooms, opposite is the hanging flower door, at the end is a moon door, and inside is a small courtyard.
When you pass through the hanging flower gate, you will enter the large courtyard, which is the main courtyard. There is a large courtyard in the middle of the main courtyard. The house opposite the hanging flower door is the main house, with two penthouses on the side, the rear room at the back, and the left and right sides are the chariot veranda and the east and west wing rooms.
There is a doorway in the corner of the penthouse, through the doorway is the second-entry yard. The layout of the second-entry yard is similar to that of the first-entry yard. The courtyard in the middle becomes a small pond with lotus flowers, small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions. There is a doorway in each of the four corners. It is estimated that there are four small courtyards. Passing through the last doorway, the third entering courtyard is the one that enters the eye. There is almost no courtyard here, only a spacious green. There are a lot of pines and cypresses planted on both sides of the stone road.
The soil is still relatively new. It is estimated that Wen Youshan has just transplanted it this time. That is, the pines and cypresses are easy to support. Otherwise, they will die if they are left alone just after transplanting.
Chen Ningya glanced at it and continued to walk forward. There were several moon arches staggered on both sides of the path. There were about five, and they were all houses.
The two Wen sisters, who followed Chen Ningya around, smacked their tongues.
