Chapter 489: Want to go to the house and uncover the tiles(2/2)
The Hua family has a large population and lives in a relatively concentrated area. Some of the houses are connected in arcs with doors and windows facing outwards, which also surrounds the entire place, forming a wall-like residence.
Cars can pass through the main street in the town, but cars cannot pass through the small streets and alleys. Only motorcycles and bicycles can pass through. In order to protect the ancient stone roads, cars are also prohibited from entering the town. All parking lots are collectively designated outside the village.
park.
The Hua family's car was also parked outside the village. A group of human beings were carrying the little girl from afar back to the Hua family's old house. They entered the town along the main street, then turned into an alley that could accommodate one or two carts passing by, and walked through
Rows of house walls, crossing the stone bridge over the ditch, then walking along an alley, reaching the end of the wall where there is a lintel is one of the main doors of the Hua family.
There are couplets posted on the wall under the door, and red lanterns are hung. The door is wide open, and there are more than a dozen people lined up inside. The men are in retro Tang suit shirts, and the women are in long cyan skirts. When the young master accompanied the little girl to the door, all men and women were uniformly dressed.
Bowed thirty degrees: "Welcome, little beauty!"
"Don't take it seriously, Le is too polite." Le Yun hesitated for a second before crossing the threshold side by side with Mr. Hua.
When the guests entered the first door of the Chinese house, two rows of people straightened up, and a middle-aged man came forward to greet them: "The little beauty is coming to the Hua family. From top to bottom, several generations of the Hua family have been impressed by the Five Nei. It cannot be done in villages or towns."
Shili Pavilion prepares a dust-washing banquet to welcome her. I feel deeply ashamed. The head of the family and the clan elders are waiting in the main hall, asking the little beauty to come."
Le Yun nodded, said "Thank you", and followed the guide arranged by the host's family.
"Uncle He is back." Mr. Hua saw the middle-aged man greeting him affectionately. Uncle He is the contemporary butler of the Hua family and the right-hand man of the family head, assisting the family head in managing the internal and external affairs of the Hua family.
Manager He smiled and nodded to the young master. He had been away for several months and did not even follow the family master when he entered the capital. He only returned to the province in the past few days. Last night, he rushed back to the old house of the Hua family after a long journey.
The men and women who followed the steward to the door to greet the distinguished guests waited for the young master and the guests to enter the house and then closed the door. Some people followed him to the main hall of the house, some people went down to do things, and some ran to repay the master of the house first.
Houses of the same family extend in all directions, just like the garden in Dream of Red Mansions. You can go anywhere from here, close the door, and each house becomes an independent house. If someone is not familiar with breaking into the big house and does not understand the secrets of the hierarchical arrangement of the house buildings,
It will make you faint.
Entering the Hua family from the first house door, there are many more doors. The main hall of the Hua family is a symbolic building of the Hua family. The building is still white with gray tiles. There are flying animals on the eaves, carved eyebrows, and flower windows on the wooden walls.
The wooden walls are integral and the windows cannot be pushed open, they only serve to ventilate and increase light.
The main hall is a quadrangle, with an Eight Immortals table in the middle of the upper room, and Taishi chairs on both sides. On both sides, there is a small table in the middle, with seats on both sides. In this way, tea and fruit snacks can be placed on the small table, and on the high-leg waist flower table
There are potted cuttings and carved roots, and there are flower and tree-shaped copper candlesticks at intervals in the main hall.
The current head of the Hua family, the previous head of the family, the clan elders, and those in charge of the family property who have rushed back to their old homes are all in the main hall. The hall is full of people ranging from the octogenarians to the young people in their thirties and forties.
There are all of them, all in retro style.
The current head of the Hua family, Hua Shanchuan, is the uncle of Hua Young Master Hua Jiangnan. Because he is the head of the clan, he sits in the first position. In order to maintain the authority of the head of the family, the old head of the house will not overtake the head of the house even if he takes a second place. The old head of the Hua family sits in the contemporary position.
In the second position next to the family head, other clan elders are arranged in sequence.
The young man from the Hua family who had gone back to the main hall to report the news rushed in and reported which door the girl from the Immortal Medicine Gate had passed. The eyes of the young and old of the Hua family shone brightly. The head of the Hua family came to the porch with the current leaders to greet him.
Soon I saw young people meandering into the courtyard surrounded by the little girl and the young head of the Hua family.
"Little Fairy Le, Hua has been waiting for you." Seeing the petite girl entering the courtyard of the main courtyard, the head of the Hua family stepped down the steps to greet her.
Coming out of the hall is the first greeting, and going down the steps is the second greeting.
"My legs are short and I walk slowly. I have to thank the Hua Family Patriarch and the seniors of the Hua Family for waiting for a long time." Seeing the middle-aged man who looked half or half like Mr. Hua, Le Yun knew that it was the Hua Family Patriarch, the Hua Family Patriarch.
Wearing a light golden summer dress like a double-breasted coat, you have an open-minded and calm demeanor.
The corners of Mr. Hua's mouth raised. The little beauty is short and her legs are indeed a bit short. But, is it okay to make fun of yourself like this?
"It's because the Hua family is remote and crude, which has troubled Little Fairy Le." The head of the Hua family went forward again and greeted her in the yard.
"Master Hua, you're welcome. If the Hua family is simple, my house can only be regarded as a cowshed and a chicken coop." Le Yun raised her head and looked up at the eaves of the Hua family's house. She really wanted to do something bad like go up to the roof and remove the tiles. She paused.
