Chapter 105 Entering the Qin Mansion
In a courtyard somewhere in Dongshan Street, Jinling City.

I saw two elderly people sitting on comfortable reclining chairs, drinking Longjing tea comfortably.

Now this kind of reclining chair has been spread in Jinling City. Although the price is high, but because of its comfort, many families have customized a batch.Even those small households, in order to show off, would endure heartache and buy a handful to keep at home.

"Today is Old Fox Qin's family banquet, why don't you join in the fun? This is the first time in the past ten years." The old man in gray took a sip of tea and said casually.

"Hehe, if you want to join in the fun, you can go with my invitation card. I won't go, it's better to see the flowers blooming and falling in front of the court." Mr. Jiang closed his eyes, savoring the fragrance of tea in his mouth.

"Forget it, I can't get along with this kind of old fox." The gray-clothed old man snorted, "I heard that just after you returned to Jinling, someone has already been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time. Hehe , obviously calculated the date of your return."

Hearing what his old friend said, Mr. Jiang opened his eyes and said calmly: "Now he is more like a politician, but a politician who retreats behind the scenes."

"You said, he and Ye Xian were so good back then, but in the end Ye Xian had an accident, but he still acted like a normal person. If it wasn't for the secret care of the descendants of the Ye family, I would suspect that it was him who did it. Alas, the old man back then What a stunning and enchanting Ye Xian, it's a pity..." Having said this, the old man in gray sighed softly.

"Hehe, didn't you realize that his descendants are exactly the same as he was back then?" After Jiang Lao finished speaking, he closed his eyes again, leaving behind the gray-clothed old man who was stunned for a moment.

……

Ye Fu.

After packing the roasted tea leaves, Ye Chu told Xiao Chan to be good at home and not to run around, then Ye Chu put the prepared booklet into his bosom and went out with his father. government.

Along the way, Ye Rong kept teaching Ye Chu the etiquette that he should pay attention to when the time comes, but Ye Chu felt drowsy after listening to it, and his whole head felt bigger.

After about a quarter of an hour, the carriage finally stopped at the intersection of Zhuque Street.

Seeing his father get off the carriage suddenly, Ye Chu turned his head to look left and right, and asked, "Isn't this far from the gate of the Qin Mansion?"

"The etiquette dad just said was forgotten so quickly." Looking at his confused son, Ye Rong felt like he hated iron.It's just that they are still on the street after all, so it's not easy to get angry, so they explained, "This street is full of rich and powerful families, and they are from a scholarly family. How decent are they passing by in a carriage? Come down quickly, let's walk go."

Hearing this, Ye Chu curled his lips.

When outsiders flatter, they just flatter, and they have to come up with a bullshit principle that doesn't make sense.

Even though he was unwilling, he obediently jumped down under his father's stern eyes.Seeing such a big box in his hand, Ye Chu felt like crying for a while.

If I had known this earlier, I would have brought a servant here.

Following his father and walking up to the Zhuque Bridge, Ye Chu looked at the bustling scene on both sides, and couldn't help feeling deeply moved.

In the original history, Wuyi Lane and Zhuque Street were wiped out in the Tang Dynasty, and there was nothing left.In particular, the phrase "in the old days Wang Xietang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people" is more like telling the glory of the past.

Today, because the Great Zhou Dynasty continued the luck of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, not only did these places not disappear in history, but they were even more proclaimed.

It's just that Wang Xie from back then is long gone, replaced by other dignitaries.

After walking across Zhuque Bridge and walking along Zhuque Street for less than a mile, Ye Chu finally came to the gate of the Qin Mansion.

Looking at the busy traffic in front of the gate of the Qin Mansion, and the carriages marked with the marks of each mansion parked in the corners one by one, Ye Chu looked at his father with some resentment.

This is etiquette as agreed, are we the only ones who follow it foolishly?
"Ahem, well, take a closer look at those carriage marks. They are also from rich families, and their respect is in their hearts..." Speaking of this, another carriage without a mark drove up in the distance.

Forced explanation is the most deadly.

Seeing that his father couldn't continue talking, Ye Chu could only roll his eyes.

When he came to the gate of the mansion, he saw a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper standing there with a smile on his face. It was Housekeeper Zhang whom Ye Chu had met before.

Seeing Ye Chu and the two of them, Zhang Chao rushed up to greet them.

"I haven't seen Brother Zhang for a long time, but he still looks good." After handing over the invitation, Ye Rong was the first to speak.

It's more than a long time since I haven't seen each other, maybe it's been five years.

Zhang Chao smiled wryly to himself, ever since he abruptly kept Ye Rong out of the mansion for three days and three nights, he must have resented him a little bit.

"Master Ye was joking, please come inside. The old man said, after you come, just go to the back hall. You don't need to sit with other masters in the living room." Zhang Chao took the invitation and said with a smile, and then turned to Ye next to him. Zuo nodded.

"Alright then, when we have time later, let's sit down and have a good chat."

After finishing speaking, he entered the Qin Mansion together with Ye Chu.

After entering, a maidservant led the way.Ye Rong acted quite calmly, after all, he had been to the Qin Mansion many times when he was a child, and it was the first time for Ye Chu to come in, walking on the road, constantly admiring the surrounding scenery.

I saw that the entrance is a zigzag veranda, and the steps below are all bluestone-paved tree-lined paths.There are green willows hanging around the roadside, and right in front of it, there is a large pear marble case, on which are written Wang Xizhi, Wang Xianzhi and other famous people's calligraphy.The whole courtyard is magnificent, graceful and luxurious, and the gardens are clustered and exquisite.

"It's nice to have money!" Looking at the garden scene in front of him, Ye Yu sighed secretly.

This Qin residence is actually much more magnificent than the Shen residence.It is indeed a scholarly family that has been passed down for a hundred years, and it is much richer than the family background that has risen for decades.

Sure enough, there is no comparison between the aristocratic family and the so-called big clan!
Following the maid through several courtyards, Ye Chu finally came to the back hall of the Qin Mansion.When entering the Houfu area, Ye Chu obviously found that there were mostly women on the road, and male servants were almost rare.

"You two, please wait a moment."

At this time, the maid suddenly stopped in front of a room door, first whispered something to Ye Yu and his son, then turned to the door, bowed her head slightly and said respectfully: "Master Ye, the two distinguished guests of Ye Mansion Arrived."

Just as the maid finished speaking, the door opened and a burly middle-aged man strode out.When he saw the person standing outside the door, he immediately smiled boldly.

"Haha, Brother Ye, come in quickly."

When Ye Rong saw this person clearly, he was stunned: "Second Brother Qin, are you back?"

"Haha, it's not long since I entered the door. Hey, this is my nephew. Well, he really looks talented." Qin Cang couldn't help but nodded when he saw Ye Chu behind him.

"I've met Uncle Qin." Although Ye Chu didn't know the person in front of him, he still guessed the identity of the person from his father's few words.

"Come on, let's all come in and talk. The old man is inside, but I have been looking forward to you for a long time."

After speaking, Qin Cang pulled Ye Rong in.
