Old Master Pan, who was riding in the front carriage, told the boy driving the carriage to slow down, don't rush home, it's okay to walk slowly.
The middle-aged servant beside him said with a smile, "The old man is very kind to Miss Sun."
"This girl has no mother since she was a child. Her father and elder brother have not been around for many years, and her grandmother is such a thief. During these years in the Shen family, when can she live happily? When she comes out, let her be happier. Hold on." Old Master Pan said with emotion.
This middle-aged servant is called Liuhe, who has served Old Master Pan for most of his life, and knows the old man Pan best. Hearing what the master said, he couldn't help laughing, "You don't love the young masters and ladies at home so much."
"Can they compare with Jiaojiao? They have fathers and mothers, and they make trouble all day long." Old Master Pan snorted.
Liuhe said, "I'm afraid that when I go home, the old lady will love Miss San more than you."
Old Master Pan didn't know what to think of, and his expression looked a little sad.
Shen Ziqiao, who was in the carriage behind, didn't know that Mrs. Pan deliberately slowed down for her, so that she could better appreciate the scenery outside the street.
"Miss San, look over there..." Mrs. Meng pointed to the place where flags of various colors fluttered in the distance, "There are twenty-four lines there. Back then, there was no merchant there who didn't know Madam."
Twenty-four lines, commonly known as dental firms, each dental firm is responsible for paying taxes on inland commodities and going to sea, and bringing overseas commodities to the inland for trading. Because the dental firms are government-run, most merchants can get huge profits. .
"Besides the Pan family, which firm is the most powerful?" Shen Ziqiao asked.
Twenty-four lines is an ancient trading company.
Lady Meng said, "Of course it's the He family. I heard that the He family is already the number one merchant in the country. His family is second in number, and no one dares to be number one."
The male supporting role, He Chen, is from the He family.
I don't know if it is possible for Sheng Peiyin to develop an ulterior adulterous relationship with He Chen.
Speaking of it, it seems that I haven't heard about the Ninth Prince for a long time. Ever since Sheng Peiyin entered the palace, the Ninth Prince seemed to have disappeared without a trace, and no one knew where he had gone.
In the days without a male supporting role, can this meaty novel still be a meaty essay? Who else can Sheng Peiyin have sex with
Don't be a prince...
"Miss San, Miss San?" Mrs. Meng called a few times, and found that Shen Ziqiao was in a daze for some reason.
Shen Ziqiao came back to her senses, and drove out all the charming imaginations in her mind, "What's wrong?"
"Look, this is also the shop Madam opened when she was not out of the cabinet." Mrs. Meng pointed to the jewelry store two rooms away and whispered to Shen Ziqiao.
"Really?" Shen Ziqiao's eyes lit up, and she hurried over to look at the exquisitely decorated jewelry store. The plaque is beautiful and majestic with three words, Linglong Pavilion, "My mother has passed away for so many years. Linglong Pavilion is still open?"
Linglong Pavilion was gradually left behind the carriage, and Lady Meng wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief, "The business and business in Dongyue are handed over to Shopkeeper Zhang and Shopkeeper Fan. The old lady is watching from behind. Don’t dare to give birth to any second thoughts.”
Shen Ziqiao laughed. "I understand how you feel about my mother."
Lady Meng lowered her head, her eyes were filled with tears, there was a kind of sadness that touches the scene and a kind of joy that touched the scene.
"Miss San, we're here." The servant's voice came from outside, and the carriage had already come to a slow stop.
The carriage stopped in front of a five-room mansion, which was the Pan family mansion. From the entrance of the alley to the end of the alley is the compound of the Pan family. Its size is so wide that Shen Ziqiao was dumbfounded as soon as she got out of the car.
The architecture of Dongyue is completely different from that of the capital. Perhaps because of its proximity to the sea, the mansion looks a bit western.
A line of brightly dressed maids stood in front of the gate, and when they saw Shen Ziqiao, they immediately saluted neatly, "Miss San is here, the old lady is waiting for you."
Old Master Pan laughed. "Jiaojiao, I will treat this place as my own home from now on. Go and meet your grandmother."
Shen Ziqiao was surrounded and entered the gate.
There are three halls across the screen wall. The whole Pan family mansion is divided into two architectural patterns. One is a four-horse trailer, in the front half, and a hundred birds and phoenixes in the back.
Passing through the small square behind the screen wall, you can see two blue-glazed soft sedan chairs. The maids helped Mrs. Pan and Shen Ziqiao into the soft sedan chairs, and they were carried by four Kongwu powerful women across a long bluestone sedan chair. The path, coming out of the path, is a large lush and green garden.
The kapok tree and the redbud tree block the sunshine of the white blossoms, and it looks particularly warm and cozy in this late winter afternoon.
Shen Ziqiao was dazzled.
After passing through the garden corridor, we came to Mrs. Pan's main courtyard.
There were two maids in pink jackets guarding the gate of the courtyard. When they saw the figures of the maids welcoming the old man and the third lady, they hurriedly turned around and reported to Mrs. Pan.
Not long after, several maids and women walked out of the house, surrounded by Mrs. Pan, who was wearing a golden silk peony dark-patterned armor.
Shen Ziqiao saw her immediately.
With a round face, it looks kind and kind. Pan's facial features are somewhat similar to those of the old lady.
"My Jiaojiao..." Before Shen Ziqiao got off the sedan chair, Mrs. Pan had already walked over with sobs, and when Shen Ziqiao got off the sedan chair and was about to salute, she was already hugged by Mrs. Pan. "My Jiaojiao..."
I can't breathe! Shen Ziqiao's face was pressed against her soft chest, and she felt her nose and mouth were pressed together.
"Grandmother..." Shen Ziqiao waved her hands, "I'm dying."
Mrs. Pan hurriedly let go of her, and cried while wiping her tears, "Look, I'm so happy, come, let me see!"
Pulling Shen Ziqiao's hands to look at her, she nodded with satisfaction, "It's not bad, it's not wrong. I have given that old thief a lot of things over the years."
Shen Ziqiao froze for a moment, did grandma give the old woman something
Old Master Pan waved his hand, "Go inside and talk, what do you look like standing outside?"
The two women behind Mrs. Pan said with a smile, "When Mother heard that Jiaojiao was coming, she couldn't care less about other things. She wished she could wait outside."
"You're the one with poor mouth! Mrs. Pan held Shen Ziqiao's hand tightly, "Jiaojiao, let's talk inside. "
Shen Ziqiao looked up at the two of them, then continued to lower her head, pretending to be shy, and followed Mrs. Pan into the room.
On the way to Dongyue, Mrs. Meng had already told her that she had three uncles in total, and they were all compatriots from the same mother. Mrs. Pan had never married a concubine, and none of the connecting rooms were confiscated.
When Mrs. Pan passed away, it was the second uncle and his wife who went to visit her in the capital.
I don't know if I still hate her.
Turning around a screen with four nanmu primrose-colored tapestry and glazed screens, there are three small halls. Behind the hall is the courtyard of the main house. The five upper rooms in the front are all carved beams and painted buildings, all of which are exquisite.
There are no kang beds in Dongyue's side. In the middle of the room are two large ebony thrones, with matching footrests underneath, and four grand master's chairs in a row on both sides.
Mrs. Pan and Mrs. Pan sat down on the big throne.
Only now did Shen Ziqiao have the opportunity to greet Mrs. Pan.
"Be good, be good!" Mrs. Pan hurriedly asked the nuns beside her to help Shen Ziqiao up, and the two red gold bracelets with bells were already in Shen Ziqiao's hands, and there was also a palm-wide red gold Ruyi necklace around her neck.
Good weight! Shen Ziqiao felt that her body sank a lot.
Mrs. Pan smiled and looked at her granddaughter who had been missing her for more than ten years.
A goose-yellow jacket embroidered with grass-green Ruyi patterns, a white silk skirt underneath, and a small flowing temple. There is only a butterfly with emerald green beads on its head, and clove rice bead earrings on pearl-like earlobes.
He looks good, but the dress is too plain.
Mrs. Pan frowned, and said displeasedly, "Why is the girl's family dressed so plainly? From the Wu family, go and bring those sets of jewelry I just made to Jiaojiao."
Shen Ziqiao was taken aback, she didn't want to attract hatred as soon as she came, and she felt that those young girls in the room were staring at her and her back was about to catch fire.
"Grandmother, I have it. Don't give it to me. I have more. It's just... I think it's too heavy, and I don't feel comfortable wearing it. I'm fine like this. I can walk two steps faster than others." Shen Ziqiao hurriedly stopped and prepared to go inside. The mother of the house, said with a smile to Mrs. Pan.
Mrs. Pan gave her a sharp look, "Which girl doesn't like beauty, look at your sisters, which one wears less clothes than you."
Shen Ziqiao followed Mrs. Pan's hand and looked at the girls standing behind the grand teacher's chair. Sure enough, everyone was wearing gold and silver, which made her almost blind.
"It's good for me, it's good for me." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile.
"Mother, it turns out that you have left all the good things for Jiaojiao. No wonder you don't like to play leaf cards with us recently. You are afraid of losing money to us, so you want to keep your private self for Jiaojiao." A figure sitting on the right The slightly round woman laughed heartily.
The other jokingly said, "No, my sister-in-law used to say that mother favored me, but now you can see clearly who mother is partial to."
Mrs. Pan pretended to be angry and said, "I just gave Jiaojiao something like this, and you are jealous too."
"Grandmother, you have never given us so much all at once." A girl who was about the same age as Shen Ziqiao walked up to Mrs. Pan and said coquettishly, she glanced at Shen Ziqiao from the corner of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth were pouted, as if disdainful like.
Mrs. Pan smiled and patted the girl's hand, "You don't get much from me."
"Jiaojiao, those are your first aunt and third aunt." Old Master Pan introduced to Shen Ziqiao, "This is your cousin Jiaying, who is one year older than you."
Shen Ziqiao bowed respectfully to the first and third aunts.
In his hand was another golden necklace with many flowers inlaid with rubies and a crystal jade hairpin with sea water patterns.
"Thank you first aunt, thank you third aunt." Shen Ziqiao put it away generously.
Mrs. Pan snorted softly, "The second daughter-in-law did this on purpose, why not go back to her mother's house, why not go back at this time."
