Chapter 985 The Queen Arrives (5)
Through the open gate, you can see two hundred-year-old jasmine trees in the courtyard, with their crowns like umbrellas, growing in an interlaced pattern. The lush broad needle-shaped leaves press down the beautiful branches, and the branches hold clusters of red flowers. The corollas are funnel-shaped, and the lobes are swirling. Each flower is elegant and dignified, and fragrant. Under the tree, guests in gorgeous clothes are bustling and flowing. The big family is talking and laughing in the yard, a harmonious and joyful scene.
The Mu family walked to the front door. The servant who had been there when the old lady went to the Mu family that day recognized them, and secretly told the two young masters at the door their identities. Mo Zijing smiled and greeted them, calling them seniors, and humbly and politely welcomed the whole family of the Mu family into the mansion.
A servant who was ordered to lead them into the mansion took them into the yard, through the corridor, and walked to the back.
Mu Zhongqing's family had lived in Huo Yuan's Bishui Villa for some time before, and also stayed in the Qin Wang Mansion for a few days, so they were no longer surprised by this magnificent and luxurious mansion, but the first wife's family had never seen such a magnificent mansion. They opened their mouths, shook their heads back and forth like rattles, and looked around endlessly.
Entering the second gate, a smiling short and fat woman came up and led the women to the back from the left corridor. The men were invited to the right by the servants and went to the garden along the right hanging flower gate.
Because the two little kids were young, they stayed with their mother. Several women entered the three courtyards of the mansion accompanied by the maids.
There are pairs of flower pots, pomegranate trees, tea-leaf-colored fish tanks, nine-foot-tall oleander, winter jasmine, tanchun, gardenia, cypress, sycamore, and all kinds of fresh flowers in the yard. The fragrance of flowers is overflowing and beautiful. There are flowers that never fade in four seasons and grasses that last for eight seasons. The main house has five rooms, and the colorful glazed tiles on the roof reflect the gorgeous brilliance. There is a corridor in front, a building in the back, and east and west wing rooms, east and west auxiliary rooms. It is spacious and connected in all directions.
Li looked at it and secretly applauded in her heart. How could Fei'er, a little hoof that is not presentable, marry into such a family? How great it would be if her Ping'er could marry into it!
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly heard a burst of laughter in the main house. The maid who led the way said to the maids at the door: "Go in and tell them that the women of the Mu family have arrived!"
The little maid said "Ah" and went in with a smile. After a while, the door curtain was opened, and the eldest lady Wu and the eldest daughter-in-law Yang came out to greet them. Wu took Du's hand affectionately and said: "Sister Du is finally here. The old lady is just talking about it. Come in!"
As she said that, she let the whole family in.
Entering the main hall, I saw that the old lady An was sitting on the rosewood inlaid ivory landscape bed with a rosy face, talking and laughing with a group of ladies in gorgeous clothes. The room was crowded with people, and the ground was also full of maids and women standing cross-legged.
Fortunately, this is a very spacious house. The main room in the middle hall is only equipped with a screen. The reception room is in the left and right side rooms. The east and west side rooms are separated from the main room by floor-length flower covers. The west and east side rooms are two connected rooms, which are very spacious and bright. If it weren't for this design, there really wouldn't be enough space for so many people. Even so, this room seems a bit crowded!
Mrs. Du brought her family to greet the old lady, and then pulled Wen'er and Wu'er out from behind to kowtow to the old lady.
The two little kids were wearing bright red tasseled jackets, combing round high buns, wearing gold lockets on their necks, and their white and tender faces were matched with a pair of big eyes like black grapes. They were so cute!
