Chapter 178 Zhongshan Zhen Mansion
The song says: "It's true or not, it's false; it's the Zhen family that is fascinating the city and the country."
This song is known to everyone in Zhongshan County. If you ask, they will sing it enthusiastically to you, and at the same time, they will not forget to explain to you that the meaning of the song is the four words "beautiful to the country". "Beautiful to the country" sings the beautiful face of the Zhen family, regardless of the men and women. The head of the family Zhen Yi was originally a handsome man, and he married a wife Zhang. The Zhang family's face was so beautiful. How beautiful is it? People in Zhongshan County will pinch their fingers with ambiguous face to help you calculate. Since Zhang married into the Zhen family, he has given birth to a lot of children. Including the eldest son Zhen Yu who died early, there are three men and five women. This shows that
What? It shows that Zhang is really beautiful, and his beauty is so tempting that Zhen Yi can't control himself. He worked day and night and worked hard, and he has only produced so many fruits. Poor Zhen Yi, who worked so hard, could not bear it. He died young and left behind an orphan and widowed mother, and he was a miserable orphan and widowed mother. Of course, he left behind a huge family business, which is the second meaning of "beautiful to the whole country". Half of this Zhongshan County belongs to their Zhen family, stores, real estate, land, etc., which can swell Zhongshan City and compete with half of the country.
As the sun sets, the sunset is full of sunset, and the group guards the five sisters of Zhen to Zhongshan County. Similarly, more than a thousand iron cavalry stationed outside the city. Xun You and Shi Jin took dozens of generals and guarded the carriage and walked inside the city.
When entering the city gate, the guards of Zhongshan County City Gate saw that there were a large group of people, so they hurriedly stopped them and asked.
"What are you stopping?...Is it my Zhen family?"
The second lady of the Zhen family, Zhen Tuo, raised his eyebrows and rode his horse forward, swung his whip in the void, and shouted fiercely with the sound of the oriole.
When the city gate guards saw that it was the daughter of the Zhen family, they dared not ask again, so they hurriedly made way and let everyone pass.
Xun You shook his head and sighed in his heart that the Zhen family's power and status were so great.
When they entered the city, everyone rushed all the way and couldn't see the lively scenes along the way. Soon, they came to a mansion. Looking at this mansion, they lived in the middle of the county town, occupying the entire street, with a splendid and magnificent building, with lacquer red lacquer on the gate and a ring of beast heads. The two stone lions at the door stood majestic, and there were many stone stones on both sides neatly arranged. A plaque was hung in the middle of the door, with four big words "Zhongshan Zhenfu" written on it.
"Hurry, hurry... Go and inform my brother quickly, just say that Xun You and Xun Shishu are visiting in Yingchuan, quickly open the middle door to greet him..." Zhen Tuo did not enter the door directly, and shouted at the servant in the gate.
"Uncle Xun Shi, Brother Shi Jin... let's wait a while, don't go in directly... Humph... Let my brother pick him up..." Zhen Tuo's beautiful eyes circulated, and he said to Xun You and Shi Jin.
In less than half a stick of incense, the glorious middle door suddenly opened, and a group of people rushed to the mansion and walked out. One of them was a handsome Confucian scholar. Looking at the Confucian scholar, he was about twenty years old, his body was like a jade tree, his temples were like a knife cut, his eyebrows were like ink paintings, and he was wearing a light blue brocade robe, which was handsome and charming.
"Brother is here..." Zhen Tuo said to Xun You with a smile.
"Uncle Xun Shi... has seen Urn Xun Shi..." The Confucian scholar was Zhen Yan, the eldest brother of the Zhen family. Strictly speaking, the second brother. While stepping out of the high threshold, he looked at him with a sharp look, and he had already seen Xun You sitting upright with his horse.
Xun You hurriedly dismounted, and Shi Jin and the soldiers hurriedly dismounted.
Zhen Yan bent down and bowed, and smiled and said, "I have seen Uncle Xun Shi. Uncle Shi came to my Zhongshan, making my Zhen family shining bright..."
Xun You also bowed and replied, "Haha, Penghu... Nephew, if you say that your Zhen family in Zhongshan is Penghu, then there will be few families in the world who are high-rise..."
Zhen Yan laughed: "Uncle Shi, look at you jokingly... I haven't seen you for a few years, but I've become more and more energetic, but I'm living a smooth life..."
Xun You smiled while stroking his beard, just waiting to speak back.
On the side, the crisp oriole cried out: "Brother, Xun Shishu is now the military advisor under the magistrate of Dongping County, Yanzhou, but there are thousands of guards, and they are all stationed outside the city... Of course, it's very smooth..."
"Oh... Uncle Shi, it's really amazing... Please come to the mansion to speak..." Zhen Yan bowed his hand and immediately turned his head and asked, "Tuo'er, why are you going to work with Uncle Shi?"
"It was Uncle Shi who saved the five of us..." Zhen Tuo said.
"Oh...what's going on?... Let's talk quickly, all the sisters have something to do..." Zhen Yan looked at Zhen Tuo quickly, and looked at the carriage behind him. The eldest sister Zhen Jiang, who had just got off the carriage with her three sisters.
"It's okay, I'm fine... Brother, it's not too late to enter the mansion and talk to you. It's just not good to be outside the mansion like this..." Zhen Jiang said softly, holding the three sisters.
"Yes... Uncle Shi... Entering the mansion... I have arranged for the servants to prepare a banquet to welcome Uncle Shi in the main hall..." Zhen Yan woke up and hurriedly bowed to Xun You.
"So, I'm working hard... please..." Xun You replied.
Everyone entered Zhen Mansion and walked slowly. They saw lush trees and bright flowers, flying buildings on both sides were empty, carved and embroidered sills were hidden between the tops of the trees in the valley, and hundreds of steps before turning over a shadow wall. On both sides were the hand-patterned veranda, among which was the main house courtyard, and the five upper rooms on the front were all carved beams and painted buildings, which were beautiful.
"Please... Please sit down with Uncle Shi..." Zhen Yan stood at the entrance of the main hall and reached out to Xun You to signal.
"Please...nephew..." Xun You smiled.
At that moment, the banquet was held, and everyone knelt down. Zhen Yan sat in the main seat, Xun You sat opposite each other, Shi Jin sat on one side, eldest sister Zhen Jiang and second sister Zhen Tuo sat on the other side, third sister, fourth sister, and younger sister Zhen Mi sat around the next seat.
Zhen Yan said apologetically: "Uncle Shi, my family is not strong, and my sisters in the family show up with me. Today's family dinner, and she is allowed to wait for the banquet... I am ashamed..."
Xun You nodded and smiled and said, "It's so great... You and I have a family friendship, so we should do this..."
Zhen Yan was relieved and smiled and said, "Thank you uncle to understand, and thank you for your deceased uncle to save your sister..." He turned around and asked Zhen Jiang under his seat. Zhen Tuo and the two sisters said, "You can tell me the situation at that time now..."
"It's... brother..." Zhen blurted out quickly, chirping, and the oriole screamed, and said in detail the day before yesterday that the bandits in the mountain were almost robbed and humiliated... Zhen Tuo was very good at speaking, and he talked about this experience in twists and turns, and was full of dangers. He was full of climaxes, which made his brother and the servants everywhere turn pale and sweat. He said Xun You, and Zhen Jiang shook his head and covered his mouth and smiled.
"That's it. General Shi Jin, by his uncle, was very skilled in martial arts and showed his power. He had to survive a fight before he saved Tuo'er, and his sister and his sister... right, sister..." Zhen Tuoqiong cried endlessly, not forgetting to look for confirmation from his elder sister Zhen Jiang, and not forgetting that his beautiful eyes were stunned by her on the spot.
