Chapter 522 Visiting Shangguan Mansion

From what Mr. Xiao passed on to them, they learned that in other states and six counties, the epidemic has basically subsided and people have resumed their lives and production.

It's just that the troops stationed on the border of Xiangzhou County have not yet evacuated and cannot come and go freely. However, it seems that the interrogation has been relaxed a lot. I heard that some wealthy businessmen are also able to come and go freely.

Grandma Yan also made an agreement with her in-laws and uncle to visit Shangguan Mansion in two days.

Grandma could see it. Brother Jue and Zimo were not like them. Their nervousness was relieved as soon as the epidemic was released. They seemed to be worried and worried, knowing that something might happen next.

So the relatives who needed to leave had to go, and the things that needed to be done had to be done. By the way, I also took Chu Chu and the others to the streets to have fun and buy some gifts for returning to the city, but I also kept a calm expression on Chu Chu and didn't let her see anything. !

The Shangguan family's house is located on what is said to be the oldest street in Weizhou County. They are considered a wealthy family. The entire house occupies almost one side of the street.

Three uncles from the in-laws came to pick them up in person. The other two uncles were younger, but older than Duke Shun. Moreover, the three brothers looked very similar. Shangguan directly introduced that the three of them were all legitimate sons. No wonder they seem to have a close relationship.

Due to their kind invitation, everyone from the capital went over together, except for Jiao Zhongjue who couldn't come because he had important matters to discuss with the twelfth prince.

As the whole street passed by, I saw only three identical door heads. The difference between each door head was dozens of feet. The middle door head was slightly larger and slightly higher. It was the main entrance. There were no steps at the door, and there were no stone lions. The blue strips on the threshold were half the size. It is 1.5 feet high, and the materials used for the door and blue bricks are very exquisite, but it is a bit mottled and has been around for many years.

The carriage stopped in front of the largest door in the middle. After they got off the carriage, several uncles led them into the door, and a boy came out to lead the carriage and horses through the side door.

When I entered the door, I saw a lot of people standing on both sides. Except for three middle-aged and elderly women at the front, there were all dark people lined up on both sides.

The three middle-aged and elderly people must be the hostess. This way of treating guests is obviously different from that in the capital. The hostess greets guests in the front yard. It seems that men and women have less scruples, but they look very enthusiastic.

The eldest woman was about the same age as Grandma Yan. Without waiting for introduction, she hurriedly took the other two to give a blessing ceremony. The people behind also bowed and saluted. When the three of them saw the old lady, they came forward to say hello, and even He even held the old lady's hand affectionately.

"My in-laws are here. Is this Miss Shunguo Gongfu? She's so pretty."

"Thank you for your hard work, grandma."

"Brother-in-law, hurry up and invite me in. Miss Chu Chu is really good-looking. There are not many people in Weizhou County who are so handsome."

"I knew my grandma and young lady were coming. If it hadn't been for the epidemic, we would have gone to visit. Grandpa would not let us go out."

……

Chu Chu only laughed when she called "aunt" and let them chatter with her grandma.

I'm afraid she can only see this lively scene when she returns to Peach Blossom Village. She now knows why the twelfth prince and brother Jue don't come together. Apart from their family status, they may also be incompatible with each other in terms of etiquette.

Seeing that they had been crowded at the door for a long time and still couldn't get in, Zimo went up to remind them, so the uncle and his aunts led them to the backyard.

Tang Langzhong, Zimo and the other male guests were stopped by the other two uncles and entered the front yard.

Seeing that Shangguan Zhi was still walking back, Zimo followed him silently. Shangguan Zhi didn't stop him but instead walked with him, letting the female relatives go ahead.

"Your house is really big." Grandma Yan looked at the crowd of young people who had followed her, making the fight too big. She didn't know what to say. She looked at the owner who had not arrived in the backyard after leaving for a long time. Hall, so complimented.

"It makes my in-laws laugh. We businessmen don't pay that much attention. What we pay attention to is that the family is big and the business is big, and we have many children.

I just feel a little sorry to my in-laws for not being able to walk such a long distance like we did in the capital. I should prepare a few sedans for you. "

Grandma Yan was now more relaxed and patted her uncle's hand: "What did you say? I am also from a farmer's background, but I am not so particular. We just come to meet our relatives. We are embarrassed if you are too particular. ”

"It's not fastidious, we don't pay attention to it. We also think this is true. If we say it's too fastidious, we still don't know how to do it."

The head of the house and the mother-in-law are all good at talking. The three aunts are all businessmen who have seen the world. They are generous in words and deeds. They can hold things up and put them down. They don't know how to hold them. They speak and dress appropriately.

As the uncle walked away, he introduced to them: "This house originally had only one gate. It was divided into courtyards after the two elderly people were gone. However, everyone is used to being lively and lively. They usually go to their own places, but there are all left in the middle of the courtyard. Xiaomen, we like to get together on New Year’s Day and so on.”

"That's good, that's good. I am also a member of a big family in Taohua Village. There are only a few people in the house in the capital, so I am not used to it being deserted. I have to go back to the capital first when I go back this time. I just got the news, Xi Yue is pregnant."

Grandma Yan smiled so hard that she was friendly to the three in-laws, talking about her in-laws in the capital, Mrs. Li, and her little daughter-in-law.

"Then first, congratulations to my in-laws. My in-laws seem to be very lucky. They will definitely have a good grandson."

"Thank you, uncle, for your kind words. I hope mother and son are safe and sound. I like all my grandchildren."

"I know that my in-laws' grandma is a good person, and she must treat Xiyue well. It is also fate that Xiyue married into your family. That incident happened when Xiyue went back by herself. If it hadn't been for being saved by your family, we and his uncle would have been together. I have to regret hitting the wall."

"Yes, yes, we are destined to be in-laws, so when I saw Xiyue for the first time, I felt cordial. No one could have predicted everything. It is said that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, otherwise I would not be able to marry such a good daughter-in-law..."

"Yes, yes, it is Xiyue's blessing to meet you."

"Grandma, please slow down and pay attention to the steps."

……

Seeing that grandma was looking kind and cheerful all the way, Chuchu and Qiuli looked at the garden in the backyard and felt very happy.

This yard is relatively old. Although some walls look a bit mottled, the sense of aging cannot be seen everywhere.

Chu Chu felt that this was the real Jiangnan. It was no wonder that people with some background were unwilling to sell the old house. They were dealing with emotions like people.

If several more generations of people gather together, a brick, a tile, or a small corner may be a story.

It is the continuation of the family's bloodline, and it is also the history of the rise and fall of the family. Even for large families in the capital, many people keep their old houses in their hometowns. Even if they have not returned to their hometown for decades, they still leave behind a few servants or entrusted clan members. I help take care of it, and I will also buy enough sacrificial fields for worshiping ancestors during the New Year, so as to continue the blood and family ties.
