Guan Yun's movement across the threshold fell into Jin Yijia's eyes, and she secretly nodded in admiration.
The threshold of the Jin family is not too high, and they do not deliberately set a high threshold so that people have to raise their legs to enter. Jin Quandao is a very rigorous person and has extremely strict requirements on etiquette. Many brothers from aristocratic families who come to the Jin family are often thrown out at the first check.
The reason for elimination is that you don't know how to cross the threshold when you cross it.
The ancients taught you that when crossing a threshold, you must raise your feet and step forward lightly. If you step on it, it will be a big disrespect. No matter who your brother is, if you come to the Jin family and step on the threshold, the first impression will be that of Jin Quandao.
His eyes dropped.
The gate of the Jin family is a vermilion gate. In ancient times, the vermilion gate represented the homes of high-ranking officials and powerful people, and deep red was the color of nobility.
After entering the main gate of the Jin family, it is actually still some distance away from the main hall. Jinsheng Lishui of the Jin family is originally a garden-like villa. In fact, it is difficult to call it a villa. It should be called a leisure manor more appropriately. The manor covers a large area.
, similar to a large courtyard house, with the main hall facing north and south, the main door also facing south, and several side rooms in the east and west.
As soon as Guan Yun entered the golden house, he felt the mountain breeze blowing against his face. Although it was cold, it was refreshing and refreshing. He couldn't help but secretly admired it. It was indeed a treasure land of Feng Shui. Of course, he didn't understand Feng Shui and just followed Lao Rong.
I have been with him for a long time and listened to him talk about everything from astronomy and geography to geomantic omen and physiognomy. I have been influenced by my ears and my eyes and I have understood it to a certain extent.
At the foot is a passage paved with green bricks, with flowers and woods on both sides. In the winter in the north, everything declines, but there are still lush green plants in the courtyard. This shows that the Jin family has put a lot of thought into it, and it also demonstrates the magnanimity and financial resources of the owner.
In addition, rockeries, pavilions and ponds can be seen everywhere in the courtyard. Although Guan Yun does not understand garden art, he vaguely feels that it looks familiar, as if it is built in imitation of some garden. Which one it is, he can't remember at the moment.
.
Looking under the eaves and on the trees, there were lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and many lanterns were hung. There were also a few lanterns with notes hanging under them, presumably for guessing lantern riddles. Guan Yun thought, although Jin Yijia is in business.
The Jin family has a profound cultural heritage. Jin Quandao must have been very fond of classical culture.
Normally, Guan Yun would like to guess lantern riddles and test his intelligence, but now he has no intention of doing so, and he doesn't know what kind of difficult test he will face next, or what kind of harsh difficulties he will face.
The Jin family is also a family of three heroes, the eldest is Jin Quandao, the second is Jin Quande, and the third is Jin Quanjing.
Jin Quandao has a daughter named Jin Yijia. Jin Quande has a daughter named Jin Yili. Jin Quanjing has a daughter named Jin Yiren. From the naming of the Jin family, we can roughly conclude that the Jin family focuses on Confucianism, or
It is said that it was also influenced by traditional Taoist thought, and the names of the three outstanding figures were taken from the Tao Te Ching.
As far as Guan Yun knows, the big difference between an aristocratic family and a family is that an aristocratic family has inheritance, cultural accumulation, and family training. A family may have accumulated political and economic wealth in one generation. It has risen in a short period of time, and an aristocratic family not only has
It must have huge political and economic influence. It must also have a cultural imprint, and have unique family training and family management methods that are different from others.
An aristocratic family will have longer vitality than a family. Political influence will fade, economic wealth will disappear, and only the imprint of culture will be passed down from generation to generation, so the ancient gentry can be passed down for hundreds of years. Broadly speaking,
The Chinese nation is one big family.
On Guan Yun's left was Qi Angyang, on his right was Jin Yijia, Su Moyu and Jin Yili fell behind. He didn't care who was behind him, he just vaguely heard Jin Yili talking to Su Moyu,
It was obviously meant to be close, and I couldn't help but secretly find it funny. Jin Yili also said that he likes Li Menghan, and now he seems to have fallen in love with Su Moyu. His aesthetic span is also too great.
Or he and Qi Angyang are determined and want to like only one type.
When I saw that I was only ten meters away from the main hall, I could vaguely see several figures in the main hall. One of them had a tall figure, sitting upright in the middle. He should be Jin Yijia's father Jin Quandao. Before Guan Yun could see clearly,
, a figure flashed in front of him, and two people were blocking the way.
The current person, who must be less than 50 years old, has a long face, short hair, and is wearing a festive Chinese dress with an open front. She looks very much like Jin Yijia. Even outsiders will recognize that she and Jin Yijia are mother and daughter.
And there is another person who looks almost exactly like her, so naturally it is Xia Lai's mother Li Yuhuan.
Needless to say, the current person is Jin Yijia’s mother Li Ninghuan. As expected, they are twin sisters. Time changes and beauty grows old, but their faces are still the same. At this point, Guan Yun finally understands why Jin Yijia and Xia Lai look very similar.
It is said that daughters are more like their fathers. The strange thing is that both Jin Yijia and Xia Lai are more like their mothers, creating the illusion that they are sisters.
But when Li Ninghuan and Li Yuhuan stood together at the same time, Guan Yun finally believed in a sentence - love comes from the heart. Li Ninghuan and Li Yuhuan have the same face, but their eyes and temperaments are very different. If Li Ninghuan exudes calmness and elegance,
His temperament and his eyes were calm, but Li Yuhuan exuded domineering, sharp and aggressive eyes.
The gap between people is really huge. Xia Lai has such a mother, but she is also soft and tough, tolerant and wise. It is really not easy for her.
Guan Yun stood still. He was lying to himself if he said he wasn't nervous. After all, he was facing Jin Yijia's mother. He bent down slightly and said respectfully: "Auntie."
Li Ninghuan looked Guan Yun up and down, and said calmly: "Who are you? What are you doing at my house?"
"I am Guan Yun. I am now the secretary of the Huangliang Municipal Party Committee. I came to the Jin family... to propose marriage!" Guan Yun hesitated for a moment, but then firmly stated his intention.
"Propose marriage? Do you still have the nerve to propose marriage?" Before Li Ninghuan could answer, Li Yuhuan jumped up first, "Guan Yun, you caused my daughter to fly abroad and left me homeless. If Xia Lai walks in front, you can come to Jin's house in hindsight.
You are so shameless about proposing marriage! When you shamelessly entangled Xia Lai, you just wanted to climb the high branches of the Xia family. Now that the high branches of the Xia family have broken, you have come to climb the high branches of the Jin family. They say that rural children are stupid.
Hidden traitor, if you ask me, you are a typical representative of the hundreds of millions of rural children across the country who want to embrace the golden phoenix. Congratulations to Guan Yun, you can go to the Central Television."
Jin Yili curled his lips behind Guan Yun and muttered in a low voice: "Pan Xia's Gaozhi? The Xia family is also called Gaozhi? Don't be embarrassed."
"Jin Yili, what are you talking about?" Although Jin Yili's voice was low, it was still heard by Li Yuhuan, who had sharp ears, and she shouted dissatisfied.
Jin Yili spread his hands: "I didn't say anything. Which of your ears heard what I said?" Li Yuhuan is Jin Yijia's biological aunt, but she is not Jin Yili's. He does not need to be respectful to Li Yuhuan.
point.
What else did Li Yuhuan want to say, but Qi Angyang spoke again: "Why is Guan Yun so embarrassed to come to the Jin family to propose marriage? Guan Yun is not married, and Jin Yijia is not married. He can propose marriage to any home with a daughter of the right age. This is the constitution
Given the power given to him, if you object to him coming to the Jin family to propose marriage, you are breaking the law."
"Xiao Qi, don't scare Auntie. Auntie has studied law." Li Yuhuan didn't dare to show off her face to Qi Angyang, and tried her best to show a smile, although the smile was uglier than crying.
"Aunt? Who are you?" Qi Angyang refused to give Li Yuhuan any respect. Li Yuhuan tried to prevent Guan Yun from getting off the stage in front of her, which was no different from slapping him in the face. He just stopped Li Yuhuan from getting off the stage, "Why didn't I know that I
Should I call you aunt?"
"This, this..." Li Yuhuan was choked by Qi Angyang and blushed. She originally gave Qi Angyang three points of courtesy because Xia Dechang was in Yan Province, and because Qi Angyang might become the Jin family's Chenglong son-in-law, she felt that Qi Angyang would
When talking to her, Qi Angyang didn't expect to speak more aggressively than Guan Yun. He couldn't help but get annoyed, "You marry Yijia, so you have to call me aunt!"
"Yes, in order not to call you aunt, I won't marry Yijia at all." Qi Angyang was waiting for her to say this. As soon as she said it, he took it.
"..." Li Yuhuan's face turned blue. This Qi Angyang was too ignorant and dared to say anything. He rushed her and ran out of options. She hesitated for a long time and said, "Don't joke about life-long events."
"Aunt Li..." Guan Yun finally spoke, and he cleared his throat, "I'll call you Aunt Li again. No matter whether you admit that you are my aunt or not, after all, Xia Lai and I fell in love, and in my heart
I have always thought of you as your aunt, and even dreamed of calling you mom one day, but now it seems that it will never be possible."
Li Yuhuan curled her lips, wanted to say something, but swallowed it back. Li Ninghuan said nothing, just looked at Guan Yun quietly, wanting to hear what this big boy who made his daughter desperate could say.
"You always thought that I liked Xia Lai because I wanted to climb up the ranks of the Xia family and stay in the capital. But what you didn't know is that when Xia Lai and I fell in love, I never asked her about her family. After graduating from college, I stayed in the capital.
The capital city depends entirely on my own strength. It was neither Uncle Xia’s help nor Aunt Li’s greeting. It was the result of my own efforts! I have a clear conscience about this!"
Li Yuhuan felt guilty and wanted to say something again. Li Ninghuan finally spoke: "Guan Yun, please continue."
"Later I followed Uncle Xia's advice and returned to my hometown Kong County. Uncle Xia told me that he would find a way to transfer me back to Beijing. As long as I stayed at the grassroots level for one year and had qualifications, I could be promoted back to the capital. I believe
I heard what Uncle Xia said, not only because he was Xia Lai's father, but also because he was the deputy director. But what I never expected was that letting me go back to Kong County was just Uncle Xia's plan to distract Xia Lai and me.
Lai is always far apart, and he has spared no effort to suppress me. What he wants is to prevent me from having another chance to return to the capital, and what he wants is for me to live in Kong County forever!"
Guan Yun was impassioned, looked directly into Li Yuhuan's eyes, and asked word for word: "I want to ask you, if you objected to Xia Lai being with me, why didn't you tell me clearly and insisted on deceiving and concealing it? This caused Xia Lai
The culprits who left the country are none other than you and Xia Dechang!"
For the first time, Guan Yun revealed the secret between him and Xia Lai to the world!
