After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day
Chapter 73: Lingzhou, the Grandfather's Home
Someone once said that in Lingzhou, even the water is poetic.
The water is clear and the mountains are green, the bricks are blue and the tiles are black, the walls are gray and white, the old stone bridge, the boats are swaying, pedestrians are walking in the rain with oil-paper umbrellas, the merchant ships are passing by like shuttles, and the sound of orchestra is endless and leisurely.
Zhu Qing sat in the carriage, staring at the beautiful scenery of Lingzhou with amazement in his eyes.
She had long known from books and her father that Lingzhou had beautiful scenery, but she had never set foot here. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she understood why so many literati and poets liked to come to Lingzhou.
Zhu Qingan's maternal grandfather's home is in Lingzhou, and her mother's family is here.
Logically speaking, although her maternal grandparents were just merchants, she should have visited them over the years. However, since Zhu Qing'an could remember, she had never seen her maternal grandparents.
My father had mentioned many times that he wanted to take my mother back to Lingzhou to visit his parents-in-law, but my mother refused every time. She still resented being forced to marry and had never returned home in all these years.
Zhu Qing'an didn't know what her maternal grandparents' family was like, but this time she came to pick up her mother and since she came to Lingzhou, she had to visit them.
Behind her followed a carriage, which was loaded with gifts prepared by Zhu Qingan.
The carriage stopped in front of the Shuifu Mansion. It was still drizzling. Fu Guang held up an oil-paper umbrella and helped Zhu Qingan get off the carriage.
The water palace is surrounded by white walls and drooping green willows. The whole palace is very spacious.
Zhu Qing'an had also heard his father mention that although his maternal grandfather's family was a merchant family, they were well-known wealthy businessmen in Lingzhou. Now he saw that it was indeed the case.
Although this mansion cannot be compared with the aristocratic mansions in Ancheng, it is also elegant and beautiful.
The guard went forward and knocked on the door, but soon saw it open and a middle-aged servant walked out. He glanced at the carriage at the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"Princess Yongfu is here to visit!" said the guard.
The servant was puzzled at first, but then he glanced at the immortal-like woman standing beside the carriage, and his mind suddenly cleared up. "Is it the cousin from Ancheng?"
"Of course!" Fu Guang said loudly.
The servant ran towards the mansion in an instant without even closing the door.
Zhu Qing'an just stood there. She didn't know what attitude her grandparents, whom she had never met, had towards her. After all, her mother hated her very much. What's more, she had never visited her in all these years. She was even prepared to be bullied.
But when a lot of people rushed out of the mansion gate in an instant, Zhu Qing'an couldn't help but be a little surprised.
These people's faces were very unfamiliar, but they were all filled with joy, without any resistance or dissatisfaction.
Especially the two old men in the lead, their hair had already turned silver and they were dressed very luxuriously. Before Zhu Qing'an could speak, the two old men had already walked down the stairs.
The servant holding an umbrella behind him couldn't even keep up with the two old people. Zhu Qing'an vaguely guessed that these two old people were his grandparents.
"But girl Qing'an?" Grandmother Mrs. Shui grabbed Zhu Qing'an's hands, looking her up and down, with tears in her eyes.
Old Master Shui beside her was equally excited, and he couldn't bear to blink when he looked at Zhu Qing'an.
"Qing'an has met your grandparents. It's Qing'an's fault that you only come to visit them now!" Zhu Qing'an bowed slightly.
According to Zhu Qingan's current status, it should be the people in Shui Mansion who should greet her, but she is a junior after all, and the attitude of the people in Shui Mansion is very kind, so she naturally has to show the attitude that a junior should have.
Of course, if Shui Fu's attitude today was different, she wouldn't mind using her power to pressure others.
But before he could even lower his body, his grandfather supported his arm.
"Good child, good child!" Old Master Shui supported Zhu Qing'an. At this time, Old Madam Shui looked at the continuous drizzle and said, "This girl is dressed so thinly. Come on, let's go into the mansion and talk!"
A group of people surrounded Zhu Qing'an and she entered the mansion. She had no idea what the mansion looked like. Even Fu Guang was pushed aside.
Arriving at the hall, Madam Shui released the hand she had been holding, and a group of people suddenly saluted Zhu Qingan, "Common people, greet the princess!"
"What are you doing? Please get up quickly!" Zhu Qing'an hurriedly helped the two old men up.
Madam Shui smiled and said, "The princess understands us, but etiquette cannot be abandoned. This etiquette should be followed. We will not be so awkward in the future!"
Zhu Qing'an was pulled by her grandparents to sit aside, and only then did she have time to take a closer look.
My grandfather was wearing a long robe embroidered with the word "Fu" (blessing). He was a little thin, and his eyes were very bright. However, he was old, and his back seemed a little hunched.
My grandmother's face was full of traces of time. Her silver hair was tied up, and she wore a golden hairpin for healing on her head, and two ruby rings on her hands.
"Come! Girl, you don't recognize them yet. This is your uncle and your aunt!" As Mrs. Shui said this, a middle-aged couple who had been standing aside walked forward.
"Qing'an girl, you are not prepared for this sudden incident. Your aunt will definitely prepare an excellent gift for you in the future!" Li, the wife of Shui Zhou, the head lady of the Shui Mansion, took off a jade bracelet with excellent color from her wrist, and put it on Zhu Qing'an's wrist.
"That's too polite. No need for that!" Zhu Qing'an quickly refused.
Shui Zhou, Zhu Qingan's uncle, who was standing beside him, said, "We are all family, Qingan, please accept it!"
Zhu Qingan thanked her and then let her aunt Li put the jade bracelet on her wrist.
My uncle Shuizhou has a circle of black stubble, a handsome face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is particularly friendly when he smiles.
And my aunt Li smiled, as elegant as the pale white pear blossoms.
"This is your second uncle and your second aunt!" Old Lady Shui continued to introduce.
A couple also walked forward with smiles on their faces. Second aunt Zeng glanced at Li with a look of reproach, "Sister-in-law took out all her favorite bracelets. I was in a hurry and didn't wear anything today. I, the second aunt, look so shabby!"
As she spoke, Zeng took off a pair of butterfly-shaped gold hairpins from her bun and pinned them on Zhu Qing'an's bun, whispering, "Your second aunt has many good things. I didn't prepare any today, but I will make up for it later!"
Zeng was wearing a blue long dress. When she smiled, the atmosphere of Lingzhou water town came to her face, and her whole temperament was elegant.
"Yes, girl, whatever you want in the future, just tell your second aunt. She is very wealthy!" Shui Zheng, Zhu Qingan's second uncle, echoed.
Shui Zheng's appearance is very similar to Zhu Qing'an's mother Shui Shiyu. Compared to his uncle Shui Zhou's masculine appearance, Shui Zheng's appearance is softer. Even though he is no longer a teenager, his whole body is very clean and refreshing.
Zhu Qing'an thanked them with a smile. She also realized that her two uncles and aunts had no ill will towards her. Her eldest uncle and aunt were more peaceful, while her second uncle and aunt were more friendly.
"Come, this is your eldest cousin Shui Jiusi from your eldest uncle's family and your second cousin Shui Tingfeng from your second uncle's family! You two, come and meet your cousin!" Old Madam Shui waved.
I saw two men standing at the end of the line walk forward, bowed and said, "Hello, cousin!"
