Datang beauty walk

Xirong sat with Danniang for a while, and before leaving, she left her home address to Danniang, so that Danniang could come and sit at her house when she had time.

But the next day, Xirong sent two girls over to invite Danniang to her home.Danniang's family had nothing to do, so she went with the two girls.

It takes about an hour and a half to get to Yanfufang by car.Danniang saw that Xirong's house had a spacious courtyard, and the concierge's courtyard was carefully constructed.Walking through the corridor and coming to the back, the first thing that catches the eye is a two-story small building on the northwest side, with raised tile eaves, finely carved windows and doors, and the wooden stairs of the small building are exposed, extending down to the northeast room. Under the corridor, connected with the corridor.

Xirong invited Danniang to the main room to the north.After Danniang went in and sat down, she looked around and saw that the spacious room was fully furnished—the lacquer carvings on the couch in the room were as clean as new, and behind the three-couch there was a large rectangular screen with flowers and birds on it. The paintings are colorful; on the shelf against the wall, there are several pieces of blue, white, red and green porcelain, and other small things; and the hanging curtains in the room are all made of good satin materials, and the color is similar to that of the room. Other items are coordinated.The whole room is elegant and grand in richness and luxury.

After Dan Niang looked around with her eyes, she said:

"Sister Xirong, your family is really rich, and the house is built so richly!"

Sitting on another single soft couch, Xi Rong said casually:

"No matter how well built the house is, it's just a nice birdcage. What's the use of it!"

The servant girl brought tea and snacks, Xirong reached out to pick up a piece of snacks and said:

"It's freshly made with flour and walnuts. Try it."

Danniang took it, put it in her mouth, and took a small bite. She felt that the pastry was very crispy and smooth, with a hint of honey in the aftertaste. She couldn't help saying: "It's delicious! Sister Xirong, you can eat it too!"

"You eat, I'm not hungry."

Dan Niang finished the remaining half of the dim sum and asked:

"Sister Xirong, who else is in your family?"

Xirong leaned sideways on the soft couch she was sitting on, and said to Danniang without hesitation:

"I am the only housekeeper in this family. My husband is a businessman. He has been doing business in other places for two years. At the beginning, he went out half a year after we got married, and he came back after more than half a year. This time, he said that he only needed one It's been almost two years now, and there is no news. I don't know when I will come back.

My in-laws live next door with their eldest son, and they rarely come here. I just visit my uncle's house a few times a month to say hello. "

"Then where is your natal family?" Tanniang asked again.

"My parents passed away very early. There is only one brother who is a businessman. He is also busy outside and rarely comes back. I have nothing to do at home on weekdays. Sister, you can come here often when you are free."

They had a good talk, and before they knew it, it was almost sunset, Xi Rong kept Tanniang for dinner, and then asked her family to send Tanniang home.

Xirong is three years older than Tanniang, and she speaks softly and sweetly.Although Xirong's family is wealthy and lives in a small building, Tanniang still feels that she is kind and approachable.Their residences are not too far apart, and Danniang often goes to Xirong's place every now and then.

After a long time, all the servants and maids of Xirong's family recognized Danniang, and when they saw their mother treating Danniang as the guest of honor, they all lowered their brows and smiled, showing great respect.

Xirong's husband, surnamed Du, is a wealthy tea businessman who often travels to various places to buy and sell tea, and he goes there for half a year or two.

Danniang heard from the maids of the Du family, Lianxiang and Lianyu, that their husband is smart and capable, and looks handsome.Xirong and his wife have been married for five or six years, but they still have no children, and their parents-in-law don't live together, so the big house is often deserted.

Xirong's older brother, Liu Chaorong, is a big businessman who buys and sells antiques and artifacts.Danniang heard that Xi Rong often mentioned her brother, saying that the two of them, brother and sister, had not seen each other for several months.

Every time Xirong sees Danniang, she is always overjoyed.But Danniang felt that Xirong was like her relatives, being with her was as warm as being in her own home.

Since Qiqing went out with Princess Pingyang, Danniang lived with Sun Ma in the small house in Changshunli near Xuanyangfang.

This Mrs. Sun, aged 42 or [-], was widowed early and did some hard work for others all the year round.It was only last year that Qiqing came here to look at the yard, cook, and do some things like clean the house.

Qiqing was not at home on weekdays, and Sun felt that she was the only one at home, feeling very lonely, and had no one to talk to.

Ever since Dan Niang lived here, Mrs. Sun has had such a good time.Although Danniang is usually quiet and reticent, and sits in front of the window every day to weave brocade and embroider, but Grandma Sun really likes Danniang from the bottom of her heart.She has rarely seen a daughter's family who is as diligent in things as Danniang, and her words and deeds are prudent and decent. The brocades woven and the clothes embroidered are the best in a hundred.

"Whoever can marry this girl will be a blessing from previous lives!..."

This grandma wanted to find a good son for Tanniang.

"Hey! It's a pity that with my status, what kind of people do I meet? They are either rough-faced young men, or old men. I don't know any of those noble youths or gentle scholars. ……no way!"

Mama Sun sat under the tree in the courtyard, looked at Tanniang who was buried in her maid work under the window, and thought again:

"How wonderful it would be if this was my daughter! Hey! I haven't cultivated that kind of blessing!..."

Grandma Sun was thinking wildly here, when she heard the door knock, and then heard someone shout:

"Mother Sun, open the door!"

"Yo, it's Miss Lianxiang!" Mama Sun stood up and hurried to open the door.

"It's Lianxiang, come in!"

"Mother Sun, is the girl there?" Lianxiang came in and asked.

"Here! Girl, Lianxiang is here." Sun Mama yelled as she walked in.

"Lianxiang, why are you alone, how is Miss Xirong?" Danniang had already walked out of the room.

"Our wife is very good. She asked me to come here today to tell the girl: Please come over there to spend the day with us on the day of Qiqiao six days later, and don't bring anything with you, just come here earlier." Lianxiang didn't Enter the house and sit down by the stone table in the courtyard.

"So, why are you so embarrassed?" Tanniang said.

Sun Ma poured Lianxiang a bowl of water, Lianxiang took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

"Girl, don't say no. We are together, don't you want to have fun? Once you go, there will be more people, and our begging will be more interesting this year. If you don't go, our wife will let me go again of!"

"Okay then, go back and tell Sister Xirong that I will be there early on the seventh day."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Would you like to sit down for a while?" Tanniang asked.

"No, I have something to do when I go back!"

Tanniang and Sun Ma sent Lianxiang out, and the bullock cart that Lianxiang got on went back.
