    After entering the city, another group of servants came to pick them up, and the carriage was replaced by a soft sedan. The servants in front led the way, and the two women held the soft sedan and moved forward slowly.  Xie Qiao gently opened a thin slit in the gauze curtains inside the sedan, and looked out curiously. The spring sun fell on the street, reflecting a lively and prosperous scene.

    Along the roof corridors on both sides, there is an antique charm. Teahouses, inns, cloth shops, pawn shops Various signboards on both sides of the street are fluttering in the wind. Occasionally, they walk by and carry burdens along the street.  There are hawkers selling rouge, gouache, jewelry and purses, and children's toys Although they are just like peddlers, their clothes are still clean and tidy.

    After turning a corner, you will see a long and broad street. In front of you is a towering stone archway with three big characters on it, Shuanggui Street.  Xie Qiao let out a light sigh and thought to himself, why did he call him such a vulgar name? He probably heard Xie Qiao's voice, and the maid accompanying him outside the sedan whispered:

    "You dare to think that this street name is vulgar"

    Xie Qiao didn¡¯t respond, and the woman didn¡¯t seem to need Xie Qiao¡¯s response, so she just said to herself:

    "Shuanggui Street refers to the two wealthy and noble families on this street, so it got its name. Needless to say, the east end of the street is our Duke's mansion, but the west end of the street is the residence of He Hanlin's family.  "

    Having said this, he laughed twice and said:

    "Look, I'm confused for a moment. The girl doesn't know that He's house belongs to someone else. It's actually the girl's maternal grandfather's house. Look, girl, the He's house is right in front of you."

    Xie Qiao was stunned. Although he knew a little bit that his mother's family was also a prominent family in the capital, he didn't expect it to be so prominent.  Xie Qiao opened the gap in the curtains wider, looked out, and saw a green brick wall surrounding the deep house compound, which occupies a large area. Looking from a distance, the trees inside are lush and lush.  Upstairs is a prosperous home.

    The soft sedan slowly passed by the gate of He Mansion, guarded by two majestic stone lions. There were three vermilion gates with magnificent plaques hanging on them. The three characters of Hanlin Mansion shone brightly in the sun, and big red inscriptions hung on both sides.  lantern.

    After passing the gate of He Mansion, we walked for half a quarter of an hour and arrived at Xie Mansion. It was no less impressive than the He Mansion we had just seen, but it seemed more majestic. There was an imperial plaque hanging on the door.  From east to west, the courtyards of He Xie's two mansions are separated by a three-foot alley, occupying the entire Shuanggui Street. They are truly indescribably impressive.

    The sedan did not enter the main gate, but was carried in from the corner door. After two passes, the sedan rested. The woman beside her who was supporting the sedan hurriedly stepped forward to raise the curtain of the sedan and helped Xie Qiao get out of the sedan with her own hands.

    After passing the hanging flower gate, bypassing the rich peony screen in front of the door, and walking through the hall, your eyes suddenly opened up, and a bright and neat courtyard appeared in front of you.  There are five upper rooms in the middle, with carved beams and painted beams, cornices and hanging corners. It looks like a rich and luxurious hall. There are many wing rooms in the corridors on both sides. There are various kinds of birds hanging on the corridors for viewing. Their chirping is very clear and beautiful.

    There were several girls in bright clothes standing along the corridor, and a group of clean and tidy women. When they saw them coming in, the two girls in green clothes in front of the door quickly opened the curtain and replied:

    "The third girl is here"

    Mother He gently patted Xie Qiao's hand twice without leaving a trace, and then stepped away. A shrewd woman with a fair face came out of the room. She quietly took a look at the third girl she hadn't seen for several years.  He secretly praised it and said with a smile:

    "The old lady has been talking about it these days, and today is the day."

    Xie Qiao was not sure who this woman was. The woman next to her whispered:

    "This is Mother Xie who is waiting beside the old lady"

    Xie Qiao guessed that she was the respectable old lady in the grandmother's room, so she squatted down slightly and was about to salute. The old lady hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, helped Xie Qiao with her own hands and said:

    "I can't afford this old slave. Please don't shorten my life by giving me this gift."

    As he said that, he helped Xie Qiao into the house.  The room was full of people. The master, the maid, and the mother-in-law were all dressed in extraordinary clothes. They all held their breath and did not even cough.  Directly in front of him was an Arhat couch made of walnut wood inlaid with mother-of-pearl marble. There was a small kang table made of the same material on the couch, and an old feudal prince with a kind face sat in the middle.

    Xie Qiao knew that this was his grandmother and hurried forward. Someone had already put down Tuanhua Ruyi's soft cushion. Xie Qiao fell to his knees and kowtowed three times.  The old man lifted her up with his own hands with excitement on his face, took her hand and sat on the couch, looking at her carefully from top to bottom, but after not seeing her for more than three years, she really seemed to have changed.

    Although she was dressed more modestly, she still had a good-looking appearance, with bright eyes, a beautiful nose, and red lips. Although she still looked a bit thin, her movements, eyebrows, and eyes revealed such a rare presence.  Dignified and elegantHe was already a big step away, let alone Xie Zhu, so he turned his loving heart towards Xie Qiao.  In addition, I think that Yao'er, whom I have always loved, is now over thirty, and I just got such a precious girl under my knees. If I don't protect her carefully, how can I succeed?

    After Xie Qiao met the three sisters, Xie Ya didn't pay much attention to Xie Qiao. She just nodded and smiled perfunctorily and stood behind Mrs. Zhang.  Xie Zhu didn't say a word, lowered her head and timidly moved to Murong's side and poked her.  Only Xie Xian held her hand affectionately and chattered to her about the customs and customs in Hangzhou.

    Xie Qiao picked up interesting things and talked to her. At this time, a woman from outside came in and said that the old man took the man from the east courtyard through the second door and came to this house.  The old lady stood up hurriedly and waved to Xie Qiao. Xie Qiao hurriedly came over to help her grandmother, and the old lady led a room full of wives and servants to welcome her out.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
