Entering the courtyard of Li's family, the first thing Yun Jing saw was a huge screen wall with a lotus pond landscape carved on it. It can be seen from the exquisite carving that this screen wall alone cost a lot of money, and it also reflects from the side.
The Li family's wealth is abundant.
When Yunlin, Yunshan, Zhang Changgui and others stepped into the door, they all looked extremely cautious and cramped, unable to move their feet because the Li family's yard was so clean, it could even be said to be cleaner than their dining table, and there was mud and dust on their feet.
, it is incompatible with such a clean ground, and you can see clear footprints every step you take.
Manager Zhao, who was leading the way, had walked a few meters, and they were still almost standing still. Feeling that no one was following behind him, he stopped and turned around to look. He saw Yun Lin and the others bowing their heads and not daring to step forward, so he didn't laugh at them.
, just a little dumbfounded.
"Old man, two little brothers, you can come with me. Don't be afraid of dirtying the floor. There are dedicated people to clean it." After saying that, he paused and said in a joking tone: "Speaking of which, the servants at home usually clean it."
It’s very leisurely. You just came here to find something for them to do, and they have to thank you.”
As soon as he said these words, Yunlin and the others blushed, and they relaxed a little. They didn't dislike him and the others, at least on the surface.
While speaking, Manager Zhao glanced at Yun Jing who was following him in surprise. Everyone else was cautious, but the child Yun Jing was just looking around out of curiosity.
He didn't look at Yunjing differently because of his performance, he just thought it was a child who was ignorant and fearless. After all, children often don't have as many ideas as adults.
In fact, Yunjing is really just out of curiosity, and he doesn’t have too many restraints when he comes to Li’s house. In his previous life, he pretended to buy a house even though he had no money. He visited villas that he couldn’t afford many times. As long as I’m not embarrassed.
Although the Li family was a wealthy family, he didn't even have the courage to look at others.
After getting Manager Zhao's words, Yunlin and the others managed to keep up with them by walking normally.
Manager Zhao didn't say anything next and just led the way, twisting and turning all the way towards the depths of the yard.
Along the way, I have seen the cloud scenery.
The area of the Li family's courtyard is really quite large. Pavilions, corridors, pavilions, and pavilions are located in it and connected to each other. Even on rainy days, you can reach most parts of the courtyard without getting wet. These buildings are beautifully carved and painted, not like those of the nouveau riche.
Luxury is the kind of elegance that makes people look very stylish and full of scholarly atmosphere.
There are rockery ponds in the courtyard, all of which are carefully carved manually. It can be said that every step of the way provides a view, and you can see different beautiful scenery from every angle.
Among these buildings and decorations, there are also pine, cypress, bamboo forests, flower beds and gardening interspersed. It is simply a perfect garden condensed in this small world, which can be called art.
On the way, they also met the nursing home servants, the servants who swept the house, the maids who served people's daily life, the old ladies who bought starch and washed them, and the servants who did gardening...
Although Lin Linzongzong did not see all the people in the Li family, Yunjing estimated that the total number of people in the Li family's yard was probably no less than fifty or sixty!
After seeing and hearing all this, he had to sigh in his heart that the life of a rich man was so enjoyable that it was unimaginable.
And these are just the wealthy families in a small place like Niujiao Town!
It’s true that poor people die of poverty and comfortable people die of ease. The gap between people is wider than that between people and pigs...
Most of the people from the Li family they met on the way would stop and say hello to Manager Zhao. From this, it can be seen that Manager Zhao looks like a janitor, but his status in the Li family is indeed not low.
After going around in circles, I don't know if Manager Zhao meant to open Yunjing's eyes. In short, they walked for almost ten minutes before reaching their destination.
During this time, Yunlin and the others were so shocked by what they saw that they were in a daze. They had never imagined that wealthy people's homes looked like this. This was truly a scene they had never dreamed of.
It's sad to say that in such an environment, they almost always lower their heads and look at the surrounding scenery cautiously with their peripheral vision, for fear of causing any offense. They want to see but dare not see openly.
, truly embodies the humbleness of the people at the bottom.
Manager Zhao took them to a side hall of the Li family. The door was open and Li Qiu was already waiting there.
To be fair, Yunjing came to take the school examination. Although it was just a formality for Li Qiu, it was still very important. After all, as far as the school entrance examination was concerned, Yunjing and other people who had come to take the school exam were not the same.
There was no difference, but even so, they did not receive the treatment of being received in the main hall. After all, the main hall is usually the place where distinguished guests and friends are received.
"Sir, I brought you a man." When he came to the door, Manager Zhao saluted Li Qiu inside.
Yunjing has lived in the countryside for these years and knows very little about the world. At this time, it is natural that he cannot see that Zhao Guan's simple salute and report action is also particular...
At this time, he looked at Li Qiu curiously, and unexpectedly discovered that Li Qiuhe had hardly changed when he saw him a few years ago. The years had left almost no trace on his face. Yunjing thought to himself:
Is it because the wealthy people’s homes are well maintained?
Li Qiu was wearing a blue silk robe, which was exquisitely made but not luxurious. His hair was combed meticulously and fixed with a hosta on the top of his head. He was sitting on a mahogany armchair with tea on the side table. There was a maid of about twenty years old.
Fan him behind his back.
He actually noticed the arrival of Yun Jing and others early in the morning, but after Manager Zhao reported, he put down his teacup, nodded and smiled: "Well, you go arrange the kitchen to serve food."
"Okay, sir," Manager Zhao replied, then he bent slightly and took two steps back before turning around and leaving.
Manager Zhao and Li Qiu exchanged just two sentences, but Yunjing was secretly stunned in his heart. The rules of this big family are too strict. Every word and deed can be followed according to the rules. Can you really bear this for a long time?
Or are you just so polite in front of outsiders?
After Manager Zhao left, Li Qiu looked at Yunjing and others, without getting up, and said with a smile: "You are all guests from afar, please come in and take a seat, and put the others aside for now. You are tired of traveling and traveling, and neither is my Li family."
If you don’t know etiquette, prepare a few dishes to entertain you, and eat first before talking about anything else.”
Yun Lin and others at the door looked at each other and were at a loss for a moment. Why did they eat first as soon as they arrived? Are all wealthy families like this?
To be honest, Yunjing was stunned for a moment, but he was relieved when he thought about the phenomenon in his previous life when he received guests, regardless of whether the time was right or not, he would always propose a massage first.
Well, let’s feel it out first at the dinner table...
Li Qiu was shocked when he saw the reaction of Yun Lin and others. Then he realized that Yun Lin and others at the door were just civilians. He was too formulaic, so he smiled and said: "Everyone, come in. It's okay. Just be casual."
"Then excuse me..." Yun Lin swallowed his words and said in an indecent manner, then he pulled Yun Shan and Zhang Changgui who were at a loss, and then cautiously stepped into the hall.
Seats had already been arranged in the hall, which was an Eight Immortals table. At Li Qiu's signal, they carefully sat down around the table, not even daring to sit down firmly.
At the same time, a maid came to serve them tea immediately, but how could they dare to drink it?
After they sat down, Li Qiu walked over and sat in the main seat. He looked around slightly, and finally looked at Yun Lin and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Old man, have we met before?"
