The Sixth Miss Marquis grew her little mouth, staring daggers at Zhu Pingan, as if she was frightened by a tiger baby that had only just come out of its den, by a fat earthbound mouse that was passing by!
How come all the bumpkins are so rude.
So scary!Scared the baby to death!
It wasn’t until she heard the fifth sister tell that bumpkin not to joke around that the Sixth Miss Marquis came back to her senses.So it was a joke ah, but that was also very rude, the bumpkin was really rude, too rude, there was no good feeling at all about the bumpkin fifth sister’s husband in front of her.Just one thought, the poor high-minded and proud fifth sister actually want to marry such a bumpkin fifth brother-in-law, the heart is a little excited ah.
A bumpkin is a bumpkin, and even if he wears good clothes, he can’t cover up the smell of his dirt.
Marquis sixth young lady’s delicate jade hand covered her mouth, very disgusted and contemptuous to Zhu Pingan rolled a big white eye.
Dirtbag, contemptuous ~~
This side of Zhu Pingan after listening to Li Shu’s pout, slightly hooked the corner of his lips, put away a casual, stood up straight, upper body slightly leaning forward, towards the Marquis Sixth Miss who is rolling her eyes at herself is very, is the standard arching salute, words with a smile, as if it were partial to a good son:
“Zhu Pingan of the Lower River Village, I have met the Sixth Miss.Just now the joke of words, if there is an offence, but also hope that the six miss bear with me.”
Rolling her eyes halfway to the Marquis’ Sixth Miss, once again grew her small mouth.
How a situation, how suddenly, the bumpkin into a courteous gentleman?In front of this person that there is a little bit of bumpkin breath ah, simply “modest gentleman, gentle as jade” feeling.
This kind of picture style drastic change, let is rolling eyes of the marquis six young lady, rolling eyes rolled to the general hard to stop, so that the cramps are, some hasty return a salute, the small mouth said “brother-in-law words heavy”.
Of course, in addition to the marquis six young lady, surprised there are many people in front of the marquis house.
“Fifth sister.Come from afar must be exhausted right, let’s quickly let the fifth sister them into the mansion to rest for a moment, and then properly catch up, wouldn’t it be better.”
At this time.A soft female voice interrupted this temporary silence.
The one who spoke was the fourth young lady of the Marquis House, with a long drape of bead strings on her head, draped in a purple and ink-coloured Gu-embroidered sable rat cloak, wearing a reddish-coloured palace silk jacket, and a white veil skirt underneath.Embroidered with light-coloured hibiscus, painted with green water ripples.
The person looks also not bad, just feel a sickly gas, like the kind of feeling of Lin Mei in the Dream of the Red Chamber.
“See what fourth sister said, it’s as if we deliberately didn’t let fifth sister into the mansion.”The Marquis’ third young miss sniffed, the corner of her mouth hung a delicate smile, skimmed the Marquis’ fourth young miss and said.
“Ahem, third sister is afraid that she is overthinking, who in our mansion doesn’t know that third sister is most considerate of her sisters.”The Marquis’ fourth young miss weakly looked at the third young miss and explained.
“Thinking too much or not thinking too much, you know it in your own heart.”The Marquis’ Third Miss raised her eyebrows.Her voice was a little sharp.
“Alright, let’s go into the mansion, and also let the fifth sister rest and relax.”
The second miss of the marquis house was the first daughter of the eldest house, and the largest of the marquis house still waiting for the word boudoir, so her speech still had more weight.After she spoke, the third young lady and the fourth young lady also no longer had any further thoughts on the topic just now.
After standing in front of the marquis house for so long, it is finally possible to enter the house.
Zhu Pingan along with the crowd from the marquis of the corner door into the marquis, into the marquis only to know that the original marquis of the door or low-key, the marquis inside is even more magnificent, far better than seen at the door.
Ancient Chinese architecture usually have two terms.One is called “between”, one is called “into”.Horizontally open is called “between”, three, five, seven, vertically backward extension is called “into”.One into, two into, three into.In fact, in the capital, especially in this inner city, for the residence building has strict regulations, what kind of official position is three, what kind is five, what kind is seven.And all are odd numbers three, five, seven, nine, eleven ……
Only, after a long time, the rules have been ignored, as long as it is not in the vicinity of the palace, and no one cares about these anymore.
For example, this Linhuai Marquis House, the specifications are particularly large, courtyard layer into layer, houses lined up, steep ridges and flying eaves, carved beams and paintings, Yi door, ear room, through the hall, rockery pavilion, although Zhu Pingan memory is very good, but also did not say how many into how many buildings in this Linhuai Marquis House.
Marquis door into a deep like the sea, the literal meaning of this sentence is also understandable, there are too many buildings, like the sea.
In addition to the marquis house is big, the life inside is also luxurious and abnormal.Carved beams and painted buildings, both sides of the mountain through the corridor rooms, raising birds and flowers, swimming with various colours of koi carp, servants, old mothers, small maids to and from the endless, afraid that there must be hundreds of people.
Into the marquis house walked for a long time before arriving at the guest room location, this is the marquis house to Zhu Pingan arrangement of the place, this still belongs to the front yard, to Zhu Pingan arrangement of the guest room, is a small independent compound.
Li Shu commanded the maids accompanying her to place the household items prepared in advance for Zhu Ping An as well as the ink, paper and inkstones in the guest room.In the Ming Dynasty, it was more polite to treat a fiancé as a guest without being married, living in the front yard and never stepping foot in the backyard at will.
Li Shu watched the maids arrange Zhu Pingan’s guest room properly before getting up to leave, Zhu Pingan sent them to the hanging flower gate, stopped their feet, arched his hand and watched them leave.
The Marquis Mansion’s Pendant Flower Gate was dignified and ornate, exquisite and unusual, and from the outside, it looked like an extremely ornate brick and wood structured gatehouse.
Because its eaves do not fall to the ground, hanging under the eaves, known as pendant columns, under which there is a pendant bead, usually painted in the form of flower petals, so it is known as the pendant flower door.
Pendant door is the ancient Han residential architecture courtyard door, is a very elaborate door in the courtyard, it is the inner house and the outer house (forecourt) of the demarcation line and the only channel.The front courtyard is separated from the inner courtyard by a hanging flower gate and a courtyard wall.The outer courtyard was mostly used to receive guests, while the inner courtyard was where the family lived and lived, and outsiders were generally not allowed to enter or leave at will, a rule that even the family’s manservant had to enforce.
In ancient times, people used to say ‘the main door does not go out, the second door does not step forward’, ‘the second door’ refers to this hanging flower door.
“If something happens, send someone to call me.”
Zhu Pingan still knew these rules, so he stopped in front of the hanging flower gate, said to Li Shu lightly, and then arched his hand to see them off.
Without entering the inner courtyard, the bumpkin even knew this, which made the several ladies of the Marquis House who were prepared to wait to see his jokes a little disappointed.
Li Shu and the others entered the hanging flower door, along the inside of the copious corridor to continue to go inside, in the middle of the hall.The hall was also commonly known as the courtyard, a barrier made of good marble was placed in front of the door, a poem by Li Bai was engraved on the marble, and it was placed in the middle of the courtyard.
Because of this marble cover, Zhu Pingan could not see the back and only saw Li Shu and the others disappear in a flash.
If the Pendant Flower Gate was the first barrier in the inner courtyard, then this marble screen was the second, and it was believed that there would be a third.
However, Zhu Pingan was not interested in exploring, and after watching Li Shu and the others enter the backyard and disappear, he returned to his guest room.
