Chapter 22 Steps
Yin Fengyu looked at the Yin Mansion in front of him and suddenly became afraid. Yin Fengyu seemed to see many unwilling souls behind the gate, clamoring to break out of the cage that bound them. Yin Fengyu was also afraid that she would not be able to overcome the cruel feudal ethics and end up dying in this deep courtyard...
Suddenly, a burst of firecrackers sounded, waking up Yin Fengyu who was in a daze. Yin Ziniu, who was standing by, shouted excitedly: "Zijin, look, the firecrackers are going off. Is this where we live? It's really grand!"
Yin Fengyu was not in a good mood, but was still infected by the noise of the people around her and Yin Ziniu's extreme excitement. Yin Zijin shouted happily: "Yes! I wonder where we will live in our new home?"
Yin Ziniu shouted in a somewhat depressed tone: "It must be because I live with my mother. Actually, I don't want to live with my mother. My mother always controls us and we can't have fun even if we want to."
Aunt Li, who was standing by, took advantage of the moment and followed the crowd to quietly move to Yin Fengyu's side, looking at Yin Fengyu intently.
Then he quietly put a handkerchief into Yin Fengyu's hand. Yin Fengyu glanced at Aunt Li and put it away unnoticeably without saying anything.
Seeing that Aunt Li was getting closer to Yin Zijin, Nanny Zhou pinched Aunt Li hard and looked at her with vicious eyes, as if warning her. Aunt Li hurried to the other side.
After a long firecracker was set off, the butler shouted: "Open..."
The vermilion door slowly opened, and 10 maids and 10 servants dressed festively poured out. The maids and servants stood in neat rows and said in unison: "Congratulations to the master and his wife on moving into their new home."
Yin Xu walked in first with his legitimate son and wife, followed by his aunt, children, maids, servants and other women. Everyone looked at the place where they would live in the future with curiosity.
Nanny Zhou and Xiaolan took Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniu to their new home.
Yin Zijin looked over and saw a bluestone avenue running through the entire Yin Mansion. The bluestone avenue was so wide and long that Yin Zijin could not even see the end of it.
Nanny Zhou took Yin Zijin and Yin Ziniu to walk on the bluestone avenue. After walking for a while, three houses appeared in front of Yin Fengyu.
Madam Zhou explained: "The name of the residence here is the same as the old house. The master didn't change it because he didn't want to bother. The three houses in front are the front yards. They are the residences of the master and the young masters. They are also the place where the master works and discusses matters with others.
From now on you are not allowed to come to the front yard, you can only stay in the back house. ”
After saying that, Nanny Zhou led the two of them for a walk for half a quarter of an hour, and a high wall about 10 meters appeared in front of Yin Fengyu.
A high wall separated the outer house from the inner house, leaving only a vermilion gate as wide as the bluestone avenue. At this moment, the gate was open, and people were coming and going, all busy.
Yin Fengyu thought that as long as the vermilion gate was closed, no woman could walk out of the mansion. The wall was really too high. No one could climb out.
As Madam Zhou walked, she explained: "Sixth Miss, Seventh Miss, this door is the boundary between the inner and outer houses, and it is usually guarded. Don't come here if you have nothing to do."
Yin Fengyu felt uncomfortable, but still nodded obediently: "Yes, Madam Zhou. We'll remember it. We won't come here in the future." Yin Ziniu on the side also echoed.
