Purple Street.
It was originally named after a Zijin Temple on the street, but because of the lovable name, some wealthy merchants have settled here recently, and the word 'Zijin' has an additional meaning.
As early as more than ten years ago, the Xue family bought a four-entry yard here for the purpose of staying in Beijing.
However, in these years, because of Xue Pan's untimely death, Aunt Xue always liked to live with her sister and brother, hoping to take care of her on weekdays, so the house was vacant for a long time.
Therefore, before the Xue family moved in, they specially renovated it.
I heard that Xue Pan is still in charge, considering this fellow's taste...
On the eleventh afternoon, when Sun Shaozong arrived, he saw the gold-plated door nails of Xue's residence from a distance away, shining in the sun.
When he got close, he saw Xue Pan standing on the steps in bright red, with two chrysanthemums, one gold and one silver, pinned to his skull, and the petals were fluttering in the wind, which was really indescribable.
"Second brother!"
Before the carriage could stop, Xue Pan happily greeted him and said with a grin, "You've arrived!"
Having said that, he reached out his hand to help Sun Shaozong get out of the car.
Sun Shaozong took a step and jumped a full half a zhang. Naturally, he avoided his support, looked up at the shining gate, and said speechlessly, "You are not afraid to call the thief!"
"dare!"
Xue Pan glared at him: "If you really want someone who can't open your eyes, I don't need the yamen under your second brother to do anything, I'll kick his eggs first!"
Saying that, he gave in triumphantly: "Come on, brother, I will show you something rare!"
Sun Shaozong followed him up the steps and saw under the gate, but still no one opened the door.
huh~!
He was hesitating whether to reach out and push it away, but when Xue Pan let out a loud whistle, the two doors slowly opened with a creak, revealing two...two elephants hidden behind the doors? !
To be precise, these are two little elephants that are as tall as a person. They are all hair-washed, and they have a crown inlaid with gold and jade on their heads. They look very playful and cute.
"Ang~!"
After the door was slowly opened, the two little elephants rolled their noses and barked happily.
"How is it, it looks good, right?"
Xue Pan said triumphantly: "Last time I accompanied Lao Feng to the Metropolitan Court, and after seeing the 'Worshipping Idol', I asked someone to buy two from Yungui's side - it's a pity it's not a white elephant. , after all, it's a little less meaningful."
I traveled all the way to get two elephants, just to be the doorman...
This fellow is really a wonderful flower of the prodigal class!
After teasing the two baby elephants, the two entered the room side by side.
Sun Shaozong was here for the first time, so naturally he could only follow Xue Pan all the way.
Just walking, he felt that something was wrong. The layout and decoration in these two places didn't look like the place where the guests were, but it looked like the hostess's residence.
He couldn't help slowing down and hesitantly said, "Where are we going?"
"Oh."
Xue Pan just remembered that he hadn't explained it yet, so he hurriedly said, "It was my mother who heard that the second brother was coming as a guest, so she asked me to invite you over to see him."
To see Xue Pan's mother
This widow, who was called 'Aunt Xue' by the Rongguo government, gave birth to Xue Pan at the age of sixteen. She is only thirty-four or five now, and her husband died early, so she was at an age that was neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.
It stands to reason that she would not easily meet foreign men.
Right now, telling Xue Pan to take him there is a bit of a 'good for the family'.
only…
Your relationship with Xue Pan shouldn't have reached that level, right
Sun Shaozong wanted to dodge it, but Xue Pan greeted the front with a smile: "Tongxi, go inside and tell your mother that the second brother of the Sun family has arrived!"
got~
It's too late to shirk now.
No choice, Sun Shaozong could only smile, followed Xue Pan across the courtyard and into the main hall.
I saw that before the left head collapsed, a few maids surrounded a woman like stars holding the moon, and a few strings of bead curtains were sparsely hung in front of them, which would not make people feel estranged, but also pointed out the inside and outside. difference.
Needless to say, this woman is naturally Aunt Xue.
But seeing her in a long pleated dress, full of pearls and emerald hairpins, standing gracefully behind the beaded curtain, she seemed to be of everyone's demeanor, but the white hands with the veil twisted, revealed her inner nervousness and anxiety.
"Mother."
But as soon as he entered the door, Xue Pan introduced to You Rongyan: "This is the one I often mention to you, the second brother Sun Shaozong!"
Sun Shaozong was also busy bowing to the end, and said respectfully: "Sun Shaozong has seen Auntie."
"Get up quickly."
Aunt Xue rarely interacted with outsiders. Seeing that Sun Shaozong was a head taller and stronger than her own son, she bowed and saluted, which brought out a sense of oppression that others did not have, and she became more and more flustered.
Fortunately, she recited the lines for a long time in advance, so she was not stunned on the spot.
I only heard her stumbling a little: "My family Wenlong [Xue Panzi Wenlong] is not good, and I usually only interact with some friends, but I don't want to be able to make friends with such a young and handsome Master Sun. Take care of him and don't let him cause any more trouble."
Originally, there was still some rhetoric below, but when Aunt Xue said this, she suddenly noticed that Sun Shaozong was hunched over, and those eagle-like eyes were staring straight at her towering chest!
Aunt Xue was really shocked and annoyed at this time. She was not willing to talk to foreigners, but she was worried about her son, so she thought of entrusting a few words to her face. Disrespectful womanizer!
If it wasn't for the fear of making trouble, both of them were not good-looking, she really wished she could just throw her face away and leave!
but…
This was her fault for Sun Shaozong.
No matter how horny he was, Sun Shaozong wouldn't go to peep at Xue Pan's mother in public.
The reason why he was so rude is actually because Aunt Xue was wearing the same clothes that he was holding in Yiran Xuan to cover Ping'er's shame!
What a coincidence!
Sun Shaozong sighed in his heart, but suddenly found that the handkerchief on Aunt Xue's hand had been twisted into a twist shape, and the well-maintained face was a little more annoyed at this time...
Oops!
Only then did Mr. Sun Shao realize that something was wrong, he quickly looked away from the clothes, and wanted to explain a few words, but how could he dare to say this about stealing fragrance and jade
In the middle of a dilemma, Xue Pan said impatiently: "Mother, if you have nothing else to explain, my second brother and I will go to the front to drink and enjoy chrysanthemums."
Aunt Xue took a deep breath and threw out two words coldly: "Go!"
tsk~
This is indeed a misunderstanding!
Sun Shaozong secretly complained, but he had to bow his body and follow Xue Pan out of the living room.
