Chapter Eighteen Arrival
"Miss, more than ten miles ahead is Jinguan City, the city of abundance!"
A guard came galloping to report, and the team immediately cheered.
Along the way, they walked through severe cold, wind and rain, walked over cliffs, and encountered miasma, and finally arrived at their destination, Jinguan City, Shu County!
"Let's go into the city!"
Su Zijin flicked his riding whip and couldn't wait to lead everyone to Jinguan City.
The closer we get to the city gate, the more pedestrians there are. When we get to Jinguan City, there is even a long queue.
Su Zijin looked up at the sky, "It's almost noon, and we're still queuing up. It seems that Jinguan City is much more lively than we thought!"
Zhang Long raised his hands and returned, "Jinguan City has been in chaos since ancient times, and the war outside has been turned upside down. This place is a paradise. Back then, the general was almost crippled, so he took the risk to lead his team into Jinguan City, and met his wife again. Let’s take a breath and support His Majesty from the side. Otherwise, we can’t say whether we can establish a dynasty or not, but at least it will be many years later.”
Zhang Long has followed Su Wu for many years and naturally knows these old stories.
Su Zijin didn't know this before. He only knew that his mother had been pampered since she was a child. When she got angry, even her father would coax her and didn't dare to show off. Now that she heard what Zhang Long said, Su Zijin I can't help but think of a story about a rich young lady and a down-and-out general. In the end, the two fell in love, and then the young lady spent all her wealth to help the general make a comeback. The general lived up to his expectations and became famous, and he and the young lady became a couple for the rest of their lives.
"Is it the little lady?"
A probing voice sounded in front of him, and Su Zijin shook his head to snap out of his imaginary memories of his parents' love and look at the person in front of him.
"It's really the little miss! These eyes are exactly the same as when the madam was a child! Little miss, the old slave Chang Ping is here to take you home on the order of the old master and the old lady!"
An old man with some gray hair on his temples stood under the horse and looked at him excitedly.
Su Zijin tentatively asked, "Steward Chang?"
"Hey!" the old man agreed, "That's the old slave. He must be the old slave that the lady told you about, right? Hey, it's been more than ten years, and the lady still remembers the old slave..."
An old man wiped his tears in front of him. Su Zijin couldn't sit still and jumped off his horse.
"Look, old slave, today is a good day. Ever since I received the pigeon message from the general a few days ago, the master and the old lady have asked me to wait for the young lady at the gate of the city every day. Unexpectedly, I only waited for more than ten days. Here we are, this old slave has to wait for at least a month! Well, she is worthy of being the daughter of the young lady. She is as active and resolute as the young lady back then!"
The housekeeper flattered Su Zijin with a smile and led Su Zijin into the city through the gate on the side.
"Why don't they have to queue?"
At the north city gate, someone pointed at Su Zijin and his group with dissatisfaction.
"What are you making noisy about? Didn't you see it was the Chang family?"
Chang Jiaren's words came out, and the restless people fell silent instantly.
Su Zijin did not see this scene and just followed the housekeeper to Chang's Mansion.
"My master loves purity, so we built our Changfu on the hillside to the north of Jinguan City. From the backyard of our mansion, you can overlook Jinguan City. At that time, my young lady loved to look at the city from the Huazhong Pavilion in the backyard. When the young lady arrived, If the government sees it, they will definitely like it too."
Su Zijin was speechless after listening to the constant chatter of housekeeper Chang Ping. No wonder his mother was doing everything he could when he told his mother that Le Youyuan could overlook Kyoto. It turned out that he had been overlooking a city in his backyard since he was a child, and he had seen it since he was a child. In a large-scale situation, it is naturally not surprising.
"Zijin, you are Zijin! Yes, that's right! It's exactly the same as the portrait your mother sent last year! It's great. I'm one year older this year and have grown taller. Master, look at Zijin, is he more beautiful?
Got it!"
As soon as Su Zijin arrived at the Chang Mansion, he was hugged by Mrs. Chang who was waiting on the cornerstone of the Chang Mansion. After looking at it carefully, he took his master to watch it together.
Su Zijin generously let the two old people who looked energetic look at him, and he turned around and smiled.
Mr. Chang couldn't help but smile when he saw his granddaughter's quirky appearance. "The skin color is the same as your mother's, but she looks like your father. That's fine. If a girl follows your father's skin color, it will be difficult to find a girl."
Mrs. Chang patted Mrs. Chang and said, "We just met, what are you talking about?" She turned around and grabbed Su Zijin, "Zijin'er, let's go to the house first. I've tidied up your yard for you, and it's right next to your mother.
In the courtyard of my boudoir, go and see if you like it."
Su Zijin followed his grandmother across the high threshold and entered the Changfu of Shu County.
From the tall and spectacular screen wall as soon as he entered the door, to the long corridor that almost ran through the front and back yards, Su Zijin walked through flowers and willows all the way to his residence in the back yard without even touching the ground.
"Flower Garden!"
Su Zijin looked at the door plaque outside the courtyard, "Do you like this name? If you don't like it, you can choose another one. Grandma will make a new plaque for you."
Two maids in the same clothes who were waiting at the door of Fanhua Garden opened the door of Fanhua Garden with smiles. Su Zijin instantly understood the origin of the name of Fanhua Garden. There were tall and low flowers and trees, scattered flower shadows, subtle fragrance, and
On both sides of the path leading to the inner courtyard, there are also various flowers, some are blooming, some are in bud, various colors, various flower shapes, that is Su Zijin, who has never been a little girl.
People with gentle minds can't help but be infected by the flowers, so they go over and smell the fragrance.
"This is Yanlaihong, and the one next to it is Jianlan. They are both fragrant and beautiful flowers."
"How about let's take a look at your boudoir? I don't know your preferences. Your mother only said in her letter that you have a good skin and don't have anything in particular that you like. I will decorate it for you according to your mother's boudoir. There are some things on the west side.
If you don’t like the layout, just change it without having to report it to anyone. Here, we treat it as our own home!”
The old lady pulled Su Zijin to the side room, and the old man followed suit, following behind the two of them. He looked at Su Zijin's expression from time to time to make sure she was smiling and nodding before he was satisfied.
"Okay, ma'am, Zijin has been tired from the long journey. Let her rest first. During dinner and from now on, you two will have a chance to talk!"
Seeing Su Zijin's eyes turning blue, Mrs. Chang suddenly stood up and said.
Mrs. Chang also stood up quickly, with a friendly smile like a silver basin, very friendly, "Look at me, I'm going to talk endlessly, please rest more and don't come out to see us off. This is our home, we don't need to be so polite. Vanilla, remember to be attentive.
Waiting lady."
Seeing the two silver-haired old men walking out of the Flower Garden, Su Zijin returned to the room.
Uncle Zhang and the others were naturally entertained by the Chang family. Su Zijin waved his hand and called for Xianghua, "Huangxiang, right? Prepare a bathtub for me. I want to take a bath and then sleep. If I don't wake up at night, don't call me."
"It's Miss!"
