Chapter 10 A courtyard full of roses
In the morning, I got up and freshened up and had breakfast, and then I helped Chifu's hand to look around the courtyard, it turned out that there was a hole behind the main house, and it was very wild to plant peaches, plums, pears, willows, cinnamon plums and other flowers and trees at four o'clock. www.biquge.info A song of clear stream water is introduced from outside the courtyard, forming a pond in the northwest corner, and the corridor connected with the main house is reflected in the sparkling water of the pond, and the weeping willows on the shore reflect each other. On the pond, there is a six-pillar pavilion with heavy eaves, the pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, the base is about five feet high, and the six sides are hung with anti-mosquito colored yarn, which moves lightly with the wind. At this time, dozens of lotus flowers in the pond have formed a small lotus canopy, and the tender yellow in the emerald color has not yet faded, which is lovely. The wonderful thing is that on the left side of the pavilion there are several crape myrtle flowers that bloom brilliantly and wantonly, only pink crape myrtle and white crape myrtle are two kinds of quality, and the flowers are clustered and bent the branches; on the right side are two tall ginkgo biloba and a camphor tree, at this time the branches are luxuriant, verdant and compelling, but like the canopy of the pavilion to add shade; the rest of the place is planted with all kinds of roses, the flowers are clustered, and they are very lively. I was overjoyed, and walked quickly to the pavilion with Chifu, who took a handkerchief and asked me to sit down at the 'beauty lean'. I took her hand overjoyed, "It's the same kind of affection as the Purple Silk Pavilion in our back garden, so I'll do needlework here." ”
Chifu couldn't cry or laugh, "Miss is really ......", and showed a look of pity before she finished speaking, "It's not still a child, and it's only sixteen in the first month of next year." The slave and maid then put the objects for embroidery. ”
Chifu has been busy since then, and I have a pair of fans to shake the fan, looking out of the pavilion with great interest, and they all say that crape myrtle has a long flowering period, "who has no red flowers for a hundred days, and crape myrtle blooms for half a year." Therefore, it is also called "official flower", "purple ribbon flower", "hundred day red", "longevity flower" or "full house", and the courtyard of the wealthy family of the official eunuch is planted, asking for a rich and long good intention. However, in the past, the Purple Silk Pavilion could not be saved...... I shook my head to myself and let go of my thoughts. Nowadays, I can no longer make a mistake, I can't let go of what I love in my heart and don't want to commit to others is a taboo, I don't forget to plan at all times, my mind is deep, and it is a taboo to do everything without leakage, and everything and myself are harmful and not beneficial - King Xiao and the people around him must be people who have a careful insight into the world, so I will use the most authentic self and the simplest way to deal with it. What's more, Zhan Lu has a sentence that is very right, since the identity of entering the palace has been decided, even if he is unwilling and unable to let go, King Xiao is already the husband of this life. The days are long, even if you are not a clansman, but for yourself, you must always think of not being despised by others and living a better life.
Chifu moved quickly, and with a few maids, she quickly placed the needlework objects in the pavilion. I was quite interested in picking out the ginger hidden flower brocade as the base, stretched the embroidery frame and adjusted the tightness, to see if the cloth pattern was oblique, and used a needle with a thread to pass through the cloth surface, listening to the sound of the cloth when the thread was pulled, it was appropriate, so I sat down and started to work wholeheartedly. On the square base cloth, the pattern was selected and left blank and composed, and the color was split, and the magenta coral and cloud pattern were thought of as the auxiliary pattern, but the main pattern was two silver-red acacia flowers.
After a while, Zhan Lu sent a snack. Seeing that I had fine stitches, I couldn't help but smile and said, "Madame is so interested! ”
I smiled softly, "It's just to pass the time." It's better to smell flowers in the backyard than to stay in the house all day. After doing a few stitches, Fu raised his head and said to Zhan Lu, "Xiaoguan Su likes acacia flowers, and the first time I met His Royal Highness that day was also under the acacia tree." So I want to embroider two pillowcases with acacia patterns to use. After speaking, the corners of his mouth smiled, and his face showed shyness.
Zhan Lu came over with relief in his eyes and took a closer look at the embroidery I had drawn, "You asked me to prepare the embroidery object yesterday, and you are going to make this?"
I bowed my head and said, "After thinking about it for a few days, I finally have time to be in the mood today." As if remembering something, the shy and smiling look on his face gradually faded away, replaced by a layer of self-hurt melancholy. Turning his head, he picked up the full moon fan of the lake-colored Xiangfei put next to the sewing basket and handed it to Zhan Lu, pursed his lips and said, "Zhan Lu help me clean it up and put it away." ”
Zhan Lu took the fan and said puzzledly, "Although the heat of July has passed, the weather will always be hot for a few days, why does Mrs. have to collect the fan early?"
I sighed slightly and said quietly, "Xiaoguan can't bear to see this fan as an autumn fan." Before autumn, let's harvest it early. When you can save yourself, how can you hurt yourself. ”
Zhan Lu saluted respectfully, "Mrs. Guan's flowers are for the skin and snow, and it is inevitable that she will have such a weak mind as a sad autumn fan." However, according to Mrs. Niang's crystal exquisite heart, it should be detectable, and there is no need to hurt yourself. She raised her head and smiled gently, "What's more, at this time, the flowers and leaves are luxuriant, scorching, and Zhan Lu is very sure that Mrs. Guan will be in the IKEA." I believe that the prince is also happy to see this. ”
I have been paying attention to the expression on her face, and when I heard this, I said goodbye with shame and joy, and my heart was relieved, knowing that I had reached a tacit understanding with Zhan Lu. And this tacit understanding will be of great benefit to me.
With Chifu and Zhan Lu by their side, they chatted and made small embroideries on their hands, but they didn't say much, concentrating on the needle and thread on their fingers. In the past, there was an aunt from a side branch who was good at this, and she also gave more guidance to the juniors of her family. She is especially good at embroidery and painting, dot dyeing into text, embroidered landscape figures, flowers and birds, all ingenious and subtle, lifelike, if the general rich and noble family has her an embroidery is a great decent. Fortunately, the color of the silk thread is complete, so I use the flat thread and twisted thread together, and use the intermediate color thread to borrow the color to supplement the color, and slowly embroider with the mixed stitch method of scattered wrong stitches. In this way, it is a lot more cumbersome, and after doing it for a while, the neck will be sore, so I get up and drink water and move my waist by the way. Chifu saw that she was going to rub it for me, and I smiled, "It's okay, where is it so delicate, it's just that I haven't been a female celebrity for a while, and my hands are rusty, but it's very slow." ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the pavilion to look at the roses that were swaying in the sun, and turned his head to see a plaque hanging on the eaves of the pavilion, with the words "Zai Gu Pavilion" written on it. Then he said to Zhan Lu, "This word is good, but I don't know what allusions are in it?"
Zhan Lu put down the purse he was making in his hand and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Then only the prince knows which code is used." This pavilion was originally called 'Yigu Pavilion', but the prince changed it to these words a few days ago. Mrs. Guan, didn't you see that the plaques were all newly made and hung up?"
I took a closer look and nodded, "Sure enough, it's still new." Looking at that word, he suddenly remembered something, so he said to Zhan Lu happily, "Let's have a study in Duofuxuan, so let's clean up the room next to the Dongnuan Pavilion?
Zhan Lu stroked his palms and smiled, "Madame and the prince have the same idea! The prince was going to set up an inner study on the edge of the Dongnuan Pavilion, but he was very busy traveling for a while because of the holy car, so he put it down for the time being. Now that the lady wants to decorate, it is better for the slave to find the boys brought by the prince to help with the details, they follow the prince and are well-informed, even if they don't have ideas, they can also find them to come over with some good things. ”
I said anxiously, "Don't go out of line, where are their things so strong?"
Zhan Lu's delicate eyebrows were raised slightly, slightly colored, "Madame, don't worry." Although it was through them that something came in, if the prince did not acquiesce, who would have the courage to go to the small treasury of the Le Dao Hall. ”
I smiled helplessly and said softly, "Zhan Lu, I just don't want Ruan Liangdi to let someone smash Duofuxuan's study again." You just need to take someone to clean up the room, and ask the palace steward to come to the bookcase, and we can use the monthly silver to make the little girls go outside to buy them. In short, more things are better than less things, if you invite others to make trouble, I don't want this study. ”
Zhan Lu bowed his head and said, "Mrs. Guan, don't worry, the slave maid will take the order." "After saying that, I was deeply blessed, and I went to arrange it.
Note: "Who has no red flowers for a hundred days, and crape myrtle blooms for half a year" is from the Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli's "Two crape myrtle flowers bloom in front of the condensation hall every May and September are declining" One of them: It seems to be infatuated and drunk, and it is good to be drunk, and the dew pressure wind is oblique. Who has no red flowers for 100 days, and crape myrtle blooms for half a year.
"A Courtyard Full of Roses" speaks out of "Mountain Pavilion Summer"Era: [Tang] Author: [Gao Piao] Genre: [Seven Uniques] Category: [Time]
The green trees are thick and the summer days are long, and the buildings are reflected in the pond. The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, and the shelves are full of roses.
[Notes] 1. The original title is "Xia", which was changed according to "All Tang Poems".
2. Crystal curtain: Describe the curtain with fine texture and clear color. Li Bai's "Jade Ladder Resentment": "But under the crystal curtain, looking at the autumn moon exquisitely." ”
3. Rose: flower name. It blooms in summer and has red, white, yellow and other colors, which is beautiful and fragrant.
"Autumn Fan Donation" comes from: Han Ban Jieyu's poem "Song of Resentment": "Cut into a Hehuan fan, the group is like the moon, in and out of the sleeves of the king's arms, shaking the breeze." I am often afraid that the autumn festival is coming, the cool soars and the heat is snatched, and the donation is abandoned, and the kindness is refused. ”
Explanation: See: be, donate: discard. After the autumn cool, the fan was thrown aside and not used. The old parable was that a woman was abandoned by her husband.
