Chapter 292 What a rude bumpkin

The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion opened her mouth and looked at Zhu Ping'an dumbstruck, as if she was frightened by a baby tiger who had just come out of the nest, or by a fat dog who passed by!

Why are bumpkins so rude.

very scary! The baby was scared to death! I thought this bumpkin was going to beat someone, but I was so scared that I cried!

It wasn't until the Fifth Sister told the bumpkin not to make jokes that the Sixth Miss of the Hou Mansion came back to her senses. It turned out to be a joke, but it was also very rude, the bumpkin is really rude, too rude, and I don't like the fifth brother-in-law of the bumpkin in front of me at all. Just thinking about how poor and arrogant Fifth Sister would marry such a country bumpkin Fifth Brother-in-law made me a little excited.

A bumpkin is just a bumpkin, no matter how nice the clothes he wears, he can’t hide his dirt smell. Look at him, he’s so stupid, he’s not promising at first glance.

The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion covered her small mouth with her slender hands, and rolled her eyes at Zhu Pingan with disgust and contempt.

Country bumpkin, despise it~~ giggling, the fifth sister wants to marry such a bumpkin, it’s so exciting, in the future, the fifth sister will have to wrap a towel and carry the child on her back to do housework and be scolded by the bumpkin brother-in-law. That picture Don't be too beautiful.

The Sixth Miss of the Hou Mansion is about to turn gray.

After hearing Li Shu's coquettishness, Zhu Ping'an here slightly hooked the corners of his lips, put away his casualness, stood up straight, leaned his upper body slightly forward, and looked at the Sixth Miss of the Hou Mansion who was rolling her eyes at him very much, yes The standard hand salute, talking and laughing, seems to be Mr. Jia:

"Zhu Ping'an in Xiahe Village, I have met Sixth Miss. If I offended you with the joke just now, I hope Sixth Miss will forgive you."

The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion, who rolled her eyes halfway, grew a small mouth again.

What's the situation, why suddenly, the bumpkin has become a polite young man? ! The person in front of him still has a bit of a country bumpkin aura, almost like a "gentleman, gentle as jade".

This drastic change in painting style made the Sixth Miss of the Hou Mansion, who was rolling her eyes halfway, stop abruptly, so that she had cramps, and returned a salute hastily, and said in her small mouth, "Brother-in-law is serious." ".

Of course, besides the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion, many people in front of the Hou Mansion were also surprised.

"Fifth Sister. You must be exhausted from the distance. Wouldn't it be better for us to let Fifth Sister and the others enter the mansion to rest for a while, and catch up on the old days."

At this time, a weak female voice interrupted the temporary silence. The speaker was the Fourth Miss of the Hou Mansion. She was not bad, but she felt sick, just like Sister Lin in the Dream of the Red Chamber.

"Look at what the fourth sister said, it seems that we deliberately don't let the fifth sister enter the mansion." The third lady of the Hou Mansion heard this, with a charming smile on the corner of her mouth, and said while casting a glance at the fourth lady of the Hou Mansion.

"Ahem, I'm afraid the third sister is thinking too much. Who in our family doesn't know that the third sister is the most considerate sister." The fourth lady of Hou's mansion looked at the third lady weakly and explained.

"Think about it too much, you know it in your heart." The third lady of the Hou Mansion raised her eyebrows. The voice is a little high-pitched.

"Okay, let's go into the mansion and let Fifth Sister rest."

The second lady of the Hou Mansion is the eldest daughter of the first wife, and the eldest of the remaining boudoirs in the Hou Mansion, so her words carry more weight. After she spoke, the third miss and the fourth miss no longer had any further thoughts on the topic just now.

After standing in front of the Hou Mansion for so long, I can finally enter the mansion.

Zhu Pingan followed the crowd into the Hou Mansion from the corner gate of the Hou Mansion. Only after entering the Hou Mansion did he realize that the gate of the Hou Mansion was still low-key.

This Linhuai Hou Mansion is really too big, the whole Hou Mansion is probably bigger than the whole Xiahe Village, and the inside is also magnificent, with countless houses, exquisite decorations, flowery gardens, and labyrinth-like courtyard sets With the courtyard.

Judging from the Ming Dynasty's custom, this Marquis Mansion must have exceeded the standard, but it was strictly controlled during the Hongwu period, and now no one cares about it, because everyone has exceeded it, and the Holy One is not interested in this, so who cares about it? .

After entering Linhuaihou's Mansion, Zhu Ping'an really understood that once the Houmen entered the deep sea, it was enough to just look at the surface meaning. The Hou's Mansion is too big, and most people have to get lost when entering, just like a canoe drifting into the sea. No way out without a compass.

In addition to being large, the Hou Mansion is also very enjoyable to live in. Not to mention the luxurious houses, but the birds and flowers growing everywhere, the various koi swimming in the pond, the servants, old ladies, and little maids who come and go all the time. To know how good life is in the Hou Mansion, there must be hundreds of maids and servants alone.

It took a long time to enter the Hou Mansion before arriving at the guest room. This is the place arranged by the Hou Mansion for Zhu Pingan. This place still belongs to the front yard. The guest room arranged for Zhu Pingan is a small independent courtyard.

Li Shu directed the accompanying maids to place the daily necessities, pens, inks, papers and inkstones prepared for Zhu Pingan in the guest room. In Daming, it is more particular. If you are not married, your fiancé can only be treated as a guest, living in the front yard, and you must never set foot in the backyard at will.

Li Shu watched the servant girl arrange Zhu Ping's room properly before getting up and leaving. Zhu Pingan sent them to the Chuihua Gate, stopped her feet, and watched them leave with folded hands.

Hou Mansion’s Hanging Flower Gate is like a gate tower, carved with patterns, and there is a side room at the back for the strong servant woman to guard, preventing outsiders from entering the inner courtyard.

In ancient times, people often said that "the gate does not go out, and the second gate does not step." Men are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard at will, not even servants, only servant girls can enter the inner courtyard. Ordinary male guests are even worse, if you enter the inner courtyard at will, you will be sent to the government as a hooligan if you are caught.

"If you need something, send someone to call me."

Zhu Pingan still knew these rules, so he stopped in front of the Chuihua Gate, said something to Li Shu, and watched them leave with his arms folded.

Not entering the inner courtyard, the bumpkin actually understood this, which disappointed the ladies of the Hou Mansion who were waiting to see his jokes.

Li Shu and others entered the Chuihua Gate, and continued to walk along the Chaoshou corridor inside, with the hallway in the middle. The hallway is what people often call the courtyard. A barrier made of high-quality marble is placed at the front door. On the marble is engraved a song of Li Bai's "Xingxia Xingxing", which is placed in the middle of the courtyard. It is probably to commemorate the experience of the ancestors who started their family with martial arts.

Because of the marble cover, Zhu Pingan couldn't see the back, only saw Li Shu and others disappeared in a blink of an eye.

If the vertical flower gate is the first barrier in the inner courtyard, then this marble screen is the second, and I believe there will be a third.

But Zhu Ping'an was not interested in exploring it. After watching Li Shu and others disappear into the backyard, he returned to his guest room.
