After he heard Aunt Qian's question clearly, he shyly shook his head and said, "We don't have cotton-padded clothes. We all wear jackets in winter."
When we were in Wuying Mountain, all the disciples in our sect only wore padded jackets in the coldest seasons and never wore cotton clothes.
I don't know if it's because these children have been practicing martial arts since childhood and their physical fitness is far superior to that of ordinary people, or if it's because their master Lu Yishan is unreliable and has never cared about them at all.
They have been freezing for a while now, and now they are used to it.
Qian Chunhua pinched Lu Wu's jacket. It was just a thin layer. It was time to buy them some winter clothes.
Anyway, their master gave him 100,000 taels of silver notes, and Qian Chunhua planned to take these silver notes from his master and use them for his apprentice.
After keeping this matter in mind, Qian Chunhua took Lu Wu and continued walking towards Dong's house.
About a quarter of an hour later, the two arrived outside the gate of Dong's mansion.
Standing outside the mansion, Qian Chunhua widened his eyes.
Rich, really too rich, this was her first impression.
The gate of the Dong Mansion courtyard looks tall and thick. It is carefully carved from high-quality sandalwood. The years have left faint traces of corrosion on its surface, making it look even more quaint.
On the door lintel, there are delicate dragon and phoenix patterns engraved, as if they are ready to fly into the sky at any time.
The door knocker is made of bronze and polished to a mirror-like finish.
On both sides of the gate stood two stone lions, with their heads held high and curly hair, looking majestic yet dynamic. Their eyes were piercing, guarding this rich place.
The courtyard wall is tall and solid, covered with lush green vines.
There were red lanterns hanging in front of the gate, but because it was daytime, the lanterns were not lit.
There was a moment of shock outside the gate before Qian Chunhua stepped forward and knocked on the door.
The door creaked open from the inside, and a young man in his twenties walked out. He looked Qian Chunhua up and down, and asked in a stern tone, "Who are you looking for?"
This was Qian Chunhua's first visit to Dong's house in Beijing, and the doorman here did not recognize her.
"I'm looking for Madam Dong." Qian Chunhua said.
"Who are you?" Qing Ge said in a bad tone. Anyone would want to get close to the Dong family.
The master had only been back for a few days, and there was an endless stream of people coming to see him every day.
"I'm Qian Chunhua." Qian Chunhua suppressed his dissatisfaction with Qingxue's attitude.
"Qian Chunhua?" Qing Ge scratched his head in confusion. The name was very familiar to him. It seemed like someone had reminded him about it a few days ago, but he couldn't remember what they said specifically.
"Hmph, the surname is Qian. When did the Dong family have a relative with the surname Qian?" An arrogant voice came from behind Qian Chunhua.
Qian Chunhua turned his head and saw a gorgeous horse-drawn carriage parked in front of the gate of Dong's mansion.
An old lady in a fox fur coat with brocade trim got off the carriage. She was slightly younger than Madam Dong.
The fox's fur was as smooth as satin, snow-white with a slight bluish-gray tint, as if the winter snow had melted into it.
The collar and cuffs of the coat were skillfully embroidered with gold peony flowers.
On the old lady's head, she wore an exquisite jade bead phoenix crown, which was inlaid with pearls of different sizes. The pearls were crystal clear and sparkled with a warm luster.
When she got off the carriage, the pearls seemed to come to life, making pleasant tinkling sounds, like the sound of nature, forming a harmonious melody with the cold winter wind.
The old lady's eyes were like water from a dry well in the cold winter, emitting a cold and dim light, so sharp that it seemed to be able to tear a person's heart apart.
"Who is this person?" Qian Chunhua thought to himself, feeling that he was too sarcastic.
"Second old lady." Qing Yu hurriedly came forward and respectfully invited the old lady into the Dong family.
Qian Chunhua watched the door slam shut after they entered.
