The carriage continued to move forward, and when it turned a corner, the scene in front of it was bright and bright. In front of it was an open woodland, with a river flowing through it, dividing the flat land into north and south. After this road, it was to the Go north of the river.
There is a crop field to the south of the river. No one lives there. Most of the villagers live on the north side of the river. Looking up, there are many courtyards scattered randomly on the flat ground. You can see them everywhere in the courtyard or on the roadside outside the house. Fruit trees.
At this time, some fruit trees were harvesting, and the trees were full of fruits. At this moment, a half-year-old child climbed up the trees to pick fruits.
Those courtyards are scattered randomly, but they don't look crowded. Instead, they have a natural and carefree feel. The courtyards vary in size, but none of them are small or crowded.
At the entrance of the village, there is water flowing through here. There are three stone arch bridges built side by side on it. The stone bridges on both sides are stepped up. The ground of the middle arch bridge is arched, and carriages can drive through it.
On the edge of the stone bridge, there happened to be a large stone erected with the word "stone bridge" written on it. The handwriting was free and magnificent, penetrating into the stone. It was obvious that it could not be written by just one person, and it was probably written by everyone.
Shi Chongshan said with a smile: "This word is left by the old ancestors of our Shi family. Although our ancestors were not famous people, they had some skills. They were best at calligraphy and architecture. These three This stone bridge was built by him, and after more than a hundred years of wind and frost, it still hasn’t fallen down.”
Su Jian summed it up: "The old gentleman is highly respected and has amazing talent."
"That's right." Shi Chongshan smiled, then crossed the stone bridge with everyone and walked towards the village.
Li Lin's yard is located at the outermost position of the village entrance, that is, the most west side. After passing the stone bridge, there are several jujube trees in front and a piece of bamboo in the back. The jujube trees and the forest just cover the gate of the yard. The carriage After passing this area, we arrived at the gate of the courtyard.
Li Lin said a few words to Su Jian and Yue Zhen, asking them to take good care of Su Wan, and then led Shi Chongshan in.
Su Wan slept all the way again. Yesterday she was in a bad mood and couldn't sleep at night. Today, she was barely energetic in the morning, and then fell asleep, feeling dazed all the way.
When the carriage stopped safely, Xiao Sang and Xiao Fei called her up, cleaned her up again, and then got off the carriage.
At this time, the guards had begun to unload the things on the carriage. Aunt Zheng stood under the carriage and helped her down. Shi Huihua stood aside and watched.
After waiting for a while, she saw a young woman being helped out of the carriage.
The woman is wearing a cyan waist-length skirt embroidered with white orchid, and a thin soft silk mandarin embroidered with white orchid. Her hair is delicately styled into a beautiful bun, with a flower hairpin inserted in between to secure the bun. , among the hairpins, there is also a white orchid holding a bead and shaking it.
She has a graceful and slender figure, with a waist that is not even small enough to hold.
She looks a little delicate and frail, but she also has a gentle and gentle calmness, as if the years are peaceful and people don't want to be disturbed.
However, when she turned her head, she suddenly smiled again, as if flowers all over the mountains and fields were blooming in an instant, which was quite delicate and lively.
Shi Huihua always felt that his cousin had a very high vision, and ordinary people could not get into his eyes. Even for this noble girl who returned to Yancheng, he had never paid any attention to her. She had previously been curious about the marriage of this cousin. What kind of girl is she.
A rich lady? The honor of the princess?
I didn't expect that she would be such a kind, gentle, yet smart and pretty little girl.
When Su Wan got out of the car, she heard what Xiao Sang said about Shi Hui's paintings. When she saw her in a daze, she smiled:
"This is your second cousin. I heard my husband talk about you. I am your cousin-in-law, Su's A-wan. You can call me cousin-in-law or A-wan. I remember you are one year older than me. , it’s okay to call me A Wan.”
Shi Huihua was a little flattered. The noble ladies she had met in Guiyan City before looked like they were all knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and virtuous, but when faced with ordinary people like them, they all wanted to raise their nostrils to the sky. , how can I talk to people so gently.
Shi Huihua felt a little happy: "I'd better call you Cousin. Cousin, I am Shi Huihua, a gentle and virtuous Hui. I didn't learn how to draw, so I can't draw either."
Su Wan clicked her tongue and laughed. She felt that Li Lin was right. Of the two girls in his uncle's family, the older one was as open-minded as a sieve, while the younger one was stubborn.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it. I'm not good at it either. It's not like your cousin is here. If you want to paint, go find him."
Shi Huihua thought to herself, Cousin-in-law, if you dare to ask your cousin to paint for you, if it were me, he wouldn't even look at it or ignore it.
If you want to draw, learn it yourself.
Su Wan said: "I prepared gifts for you all when I came here, but I don't know which box I put them in. I will send them to you tomorrow."
"Is there any gift?" Shi Huihua's eyes lit up as soon as he rubbed it. This was a gift from the princess's cousin. For such a noble girl, just one or two things that fell out of her fingers were all What a great thing, not to mention a well-prepared gift.
"Yes." Su Wan smiled, "Your cousin asked me to take you over to meet your father. Let's go."
Shi Huihua's expression changed when she heard this, and she was about to turn around and run away. However, she turned around and was held down by a guard and escorted back.
She ouched and screamed twice: "Ouch, ouch, let go, cousin, can someone let me go? I don't want to see my father, he will beat me to death."
"That's not okay." Su Wan shook his head, "Your cousin said this. If you don't want to go, someone will escort you there. You won't even be given the gift. If you go obediently, , talk to your father properly, and I will give you another gift in private."
Shi Huihua's eyes lit up again: "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Okay, just go!" Shi Huihua gritted her teeth and agreed. The most she would get was a beating from her father, so it was worth it.
Su Wan raised her eyebrows, and then ordered Aunt Zheng to take Su Jian and Yue Zhen to the guest garden for resettlement, while she took Xiao Sang Xiaoyi and Shi Huihua to the guest garden.
By this time, Shi Chongshan had been calmed down by Li Lin's words. The two of them were drinking tea. When they saw Shi Huihua walking in, they glanced at each other lightly without saying anything.
But when he saw Su Wan, his eyes lit up and he felt satisfied: "Is this the princess?"
Having said that, he vaguely remembered that he was a small official, and that he had to salute the princess at this time, and his expression became a little unnatural.
Li Lin smiled and said, "This is Ah Wan. My uncle is the elder. You can call her Ah Wan in the future. At home, it's up to you."
Su Wan bowed slightly and saluted: "It's A Wan who should pay respects to my uncle. My husband is right. My uncle is the elder. Just call me A Wan. There is no elder around my husband. My uncle has taken care of me a lot these years. A Wan Wan is also very grateful."
