The carriage drove for about half an hour and then stopped. Then I heard Duke Ping say, "Open the main door." Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, then it became normal. When you enter your uncle's house, it's a prince's palace, so you have to open a front door for yourself. But for Pingguo Duke's house, it's not that big of a deal to open a front door. However, Xia He was still allowed to go out.
"Father, this is absolutely impossible." Ping Xiangxi was anxious. Anyone who can open the front door just for the sake of his daughter is not a noble person. If this were to spread, it would be a joke. Moreover, it is also inconsistent with etiquette. What kind of face do I have in front of my colleagues?
The prince, on the other hand, remained silent. Even the prince could open the front door for his niece. I am the Duke's Mansion, and I have taken my aggrieved daughter home. Why can't I open the front door? An's mood was uncertain. When she entered, she was carried in through the back door and was not even allowed to enter through the side door. From the time I entered the Heike family, until now, I have not yet passed through the main entrance!
"My lord, the eldest lord, the second lord, the young lady has said that she can come in through the side door. Etiquette letters are passed down to the family, so we cannot break this rule for her and break the etiquette." Xia Hefu accepted the courtesy and passed on gentle words.
"Dad, let's go in through the side door! Wen Wan can enter the palace through the main entrance. That's the prince's pity. But the daughter's family has to enter through the main entrance from the outside. Usually the main entrance is opened when the married daughter returns with her son-in-law. Wen Wan It's just that when you return home from outside, you have to enter through the front door, which will easily attract other people's gossip. I think Wen Wan's niece knows that, so she asked someone to send the message. Dad, you don't want her to be criticized before she enters the door. Come on!" The prince also advised. After hearing this, the Duke nodded and praised a few words, then entered through the side door.
The carriage stopped after less than five minutes. He opened the curtain and got out of the carriage. I was surprised when I saw two sedan chairs outside! Four well-dressed young men carried the sedan up and stood respectfully beside it. There were four women standing nearby, asking the lady to get on the sedan. Seeing the woman getting into the sedan with the help of her mother-in-law, I knew she was going to be carried in. The mother-in-law opened the sedan curtain and got in gently.
Needless to say, the person carrying the sedan must have received professional training. The sedan was not bumpy at all and was stable. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they landed in front of a hanging flower door. Four women came up to open the sedan curtain and helped Wenwan get out of the sedan. Wen Wan held Gu's mother's hand and got off the sedan.
Duke Ping and three other people also arrived. Wen Wan hurried forward and took Duke Ping's hand. Duke Ping was a little surprised, but looking at Wen Wan's hesitant look, he knew that she was scared. He took her hand and went inside. Prince Ping, however, turned in a different direction and went to the front yard.
The people next to him looked at it, and they all had a strange look. There were so many people walking around without making any sound. It seems that ancient families were very strict in running their families.
Entered the hanging flower door. There are corridors on both sides, and in the middle is the main hall. There is a large red sandalwood screen with 108 immortals painted on it. Wen Wan listens to this trend, which is a little weird.
Turning around the screen, there are several small halls, and behind them is the main hall in the backyard. The six upper rooms on the front are all magnificent. The verandah rooms on both sides are hung with parrots, larks, thrushes and other birds of various colors.
On the platform, there were several girls wearing red and green clothes, and five or six servant ladies. As soon as they saw everyone, they all came forward and said with a smile, "The old lady was still talking about it just now, but she is back."
So the three people opened the curtains one after another, and heard someone reply: "Old madam, the Duke and Miss Ten are back."
Wen Wan was waiting for a group of people. They were still two minutes away from the door. I saw two mothers coming to pay their respects, followed by a large group of people who came up to pay their respects to the Duke (Miss Tenth). Duke Ping made everyone move aside with a wave of his hand. When they arrived at the entrance of the main room, the mother-in-law standing beside them immediately raised the curtain diligently and welcomed the two of them in.
Entering the main room, we observed it first. There are palace lanterns with three and five ram's horns hanging around, and a white jade Guanyin Bodhisattva is placed in the middle hall. The Bodhisattva is spotless; in the middle of the long desk is a gilt-carved three-legged incense burner, and the room is filled with fragrance from which it curls up.
Before he could take a closer look, he was led to the east wing. The first thing that catches the eye is a large group of people, hugging an old lady in the center. The old lady in the middle has her gray hair neatly styled into a bun and a crested hairpin. She is wearing a dark green longevity jacket with five blessings, a twelve-piece navy skirt, and gold ornaments on her lapel. Her head and body are also surrounded by pearls and emerald green, and she looks kind-hearted, wealthy and peaceful. There were also a group of gorgeous and well-dressed daughters-in-law around him. They were all looking at Wen Wan. One of them, a very gentle woman wearing only jade jewelry, smiled kindly at Wen Wan.
Wen Wan looked at it and murmured in her heart, she is already an old man, she is dressed in red and green, gold and silver, surrounded by green beads, and her whole body of jewelry is not too tacky. The others are probably all her daughters-in-law. They are really imitating each other, but they don't have the dignity of being a member of the Duke's family. Compared with the wealthy people in the countryside. Although he was mumbling in confusion, his face didn't show it.
The people in the house,They all looked at Wen Wan with inquiring expressions. He is a gentle person. In his previous life, he has experienced negotiations with others in no matter how sharp and tense the atmosphere. He is calm and composed when facing hundreds of employees and thousands of construction workers. The scene here is similar to that of a caterpillar. But on the surface, he pretended to be scared. Without knowing the details of the enemy, it is best to act stupid first.
But when I looked at it carefully, I was really frightened. He was not frightened by the scene, but by the people, and there were crows in front of him. These are all my relatives, there must be at least twenty of them! It will take some time to understand them all. Get along with them, forget it, get to know as many as you can! Of course, it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t know them. I am not surprised by such ignorance. But what makes Wen Wan strange is that she didn't see a girl. Men do not sit on the same table as seven years old, so they need to avoid suspicion, but girls always don¡¯t want it!
Everyone looked at Wen Wan and started to hold the Duke's hand with a normal expression. When they saw everyone looking at her, they leaned towards the Duke with some fear. And everyone was also looking at Wen Wan.
Today, Wen Wan was combed into a bun by Chunhua, and the rest of her hair was combed into two braids. The bun was surrounded by red gold and gem-tangled Milan flowers, and there were a few bright butterfly beads inserted into the bun. He wears a fragrant brocade gown with peony flowers, a red gold ruby ??necklace, a name charm, etc. on his neck. He wears a string of Buddhist beads on his left hand and a pair of red gold Ruyi bracelets on his right hand.
