Qin Bai's sister has only one, that is, the late Qin Empress Qin Zhang. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Empress Qin is the only daughter of the old marquis Qin Yang, and she is also a concubine. Although she was born and lost her mother, her stepmother Ye was generous and loving, and treated her as her own daughter, so she was not aggrieved at all. Qin Songcheng, the elder brother of his compatriots, hated his father's other women, especially the Ye family, who occupied the position of his biological mother, Mrs. Huang. But Empress Qin never had such an idea, she was as good as a biological mother and daughter with the Ye family, and she also regarded Qin Bai as her own brother, more like the Ye family's own flesh and blood, but she did not have a good relationship with her brother Qin Song.

With Queen Qin's background and status, and the favor of her parents, her residence when she was in the boudoir was naturally exquisite.

The place of Wanxiang Pavilion is very large, close to Shengyi Ju, next to the garden, no matter the scenery or arrangement, it is the best in the whole Yongjiahou Mansion. According to Qin Bai's recollection, there are five main houses in this courtyard, and it is still a two-story small building, with two rooms in the east and west wings, and the specifications are only worse than those of Songfeng Hall and higher than Shengyiju. The courtyard is not only planted with Queen Qin's favorite roses, moons and other flowers and plants, but also a stream winds through the courtyard, with small bridges and flowing water, willows and willows, although it is a residence, but it is not much different from a garden.

Between the Evening Fragrance Pavilion and the garden of the Hou Mansion, there is actually no wall, but instead a large sea of hedges and flowers. The stream in the courtyard flows through the wall and flows into the garden, passing through the garden along the sea of flowers, and also stops the pace of the people in the garden. The people in the garden can't walk and can't really see the situation in the courtyard, but the people in the courtyard can take in the beautiful scenery in the garden when they stand on the small building. In the season of blooming flowers, the flowers in the tuberose pavilion and the flowers in the garden are connected together, looking at it from a distance, it is like a colorful cloud, and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, it is really like a fairyland.

Today, the decoration on the aisle outside the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, as well as the small bridges and flowing water in the Mingyue Dock and Peach Blossom Pavilion, and even the pool pavilion in the courtyard of the former, are actually built in imitation of the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, but its beauty is far less than one-tenth of the Evening Fragrance Pavilion, but it is just a little bit of learning.

Qin Hanzhen had never been to Peach Blossom Xuan, but he had just come from Mingyuewu, and he was quite satisfied with the scenery in the courtyard. As its name suggests, there is a pond in the courtyard, planted a few lotus flowers, there is a small pavilion next to it, a small stone bridge, it can be imagined, in the night when the bright moon is empty, the moon shadow is reflected in the pool, and the moon shadow is accompanied by the lotus flower. Such a courtyard is already very exquisite, is the Evening Fragrance Pavilion ten times better than Mingyuewu? Qin Han is really a little unimaginable.

It's a pity that although she is very curious about the scenery in the courtyard, and Qin Bai also wants to revisit her hometown and miss her deceased sister, the Yao family can't take them to the Evening Fragrance Pavilion for a walk. It's just that Queen Qin's former residence has been blocked since she became the queen of the main palace. There is a room where Empress Qin's old servants live in the courtyard and are responsible for daily maintenance and cleaning, and there is an old palace person who lives here for a long time to guard the old things of Empress Qin during her lifetime. In addition, no one from the Qin family is allowed to enter at will.

This is the will of the Holy Majesty Himself today. He would occasionally take a light car, and Jane would miss his deceased wife from here. Qin Song once offered a share of the keys to all the doors of the Chengenhou Mansion into the palace, so if the Holy Lord and the East Palace wanted to come over, there was no need to alarm the Qin family at all. The Qin family didn't dare to have any complaints about this, and they had to stop outside the Evening Fragrance Pavilion tremblingly, for fear that if they were not careful, they would anger the saint. Because the Wanxiang Pavilion has become a forbidden place, when the daughters of the Chengen Hou Mansion need to move away from their parents, they can only renovate and rebuild a small courtyard that was originally the residence of the concubines in the era of the Taihou and the old Marquis, and turn it into two courtyards, Taohuaxuan and Mingyuewu, which can be regarded as a solution.

There was no way to see the scenery of the Evening Fragrance Pavilion with his own eyes, Qin Han really felt very regretful. But she didn't say anything, because she could sense that her grandfather Qin Bai's mood seemed to be even worse. Maybe it's because he remembered his dead sister Empress Qin? Not being able to see Empress Qin for the last time was the biggest regret in Qin Bai's life. Moreover, between their siblings, there seem to be some secrets that outsiders don't know?

Qin Bai walked in front absentmindedly. Yao originally wanted to laugh with Niu all the way and talk about some jokes about the second room, but when he saw him like this, he also restrained himself a little, and didn't dare to be wanton anymore, so he simply introduced the houses along the road.

After the garden, it is the east sandwich road of the Hou Mansion. At the end of the East Sandwich Road is the back door, where there is a night place and a porter. Twelve hours a day, day and night, are guarded. The large complex of buildings separated from the garden is a large kitchen and a servant's room. The alley in front of the big kitchen also has a small door leading to Qingyun Lane to the east, which is convenient for people to walk around during daily shopping.

Turning back to the south from the aisle next to the large kitchen is the other side of Sheng Yi Ju. Here and Sheng Yiju are sandwiched by the aisle and look at two courtyards, one is "Zheguitai", and the other is "Yan returns". It is opposite to the Mingyuewu and Peach Blossom Pavilion in the west, which is the residence of the young masters in the Chengenhou Mansion.

Now there are Qin Zhonghai and Yao's eldest son Qin Jian, as well as Qin Shun, the eldest son of Qin Shutao, the former lives in the main house, the latter lives in the east chamber, but the west chamber is empty. Qin Zhonghai's ten-year-old second son returned from Yan, who lived next door. He was the only one living in the courtyard, but he strangely lived in the east wing, and the main house was empty. It is said that it was to be left to Qin Shutao's sister-in-law, Qin Duan, who moved in after he was seven years old.

Qin Jian did not live in the same courtyard as his cousin of the same father, but lived with his third cousin Qin Shun. Qin Jian's cousin (no one has mentioned his name so far) lives in the courtyard next door, and he doesn't dare to move in when the main house is empty. And Qin Shun has not moved into the courtyard where his younger brother will live in the future, even if he also lives in a wing room, he will have to live in two separate places with Qin Duan. The relationship between these two pairs of brothers is really intriguing.

Qin Hanzhen also remembered that Qin Xun, the eldest son of the second room, seemed to be six years old this year, right? He was the fourth among his brothers, and he should move out next year. The second room was clamoring to give him the Qingfeng Pavilion before, could it be because the main houses of the two courtyards of Zheguitai and Yan Hui had owners, and the second room was not willing to ask him to be subordinate to his cousins? In fact, Qin Xun was so much older than Qin Duan, so what if he preemptively occupied the main house where Yan returned? The second room was originally a concubine, so why bother to ask for the Qingfeng Pavilion that belonged to the third room?

Yao didn't know whether she was disgusted with the concubine who lived in Yan's return, or if she really thought that there was nothing to see in that courtyard, so she only led the three rooms and her party into the Zhegui platform for a turn. As its name suggests, there are many osmanthus trees planted in the courtyard. Although it is not the season for osmanthus to bloom at the moment, from the name of this courtyard, it can also be seen that the expectations of the Chengenhou Mansion for the eldest grandson Qin Jian.

Qin Jian and Qin Shun are both in school, and their classes are not in the garden, but in the annex outside the mansion. The owner was not there, and the people in the third room had nothing to visit except to look at the house and the flowers, so they withdrew.

Zheguitai and Yan return to the south, there are also two courtyards, one large and one small. The big courtyard is called Su Xinzhai, and the small one is the east courtyard, and it doesn't even have a name. Su Xinzhai is now the residence of the Xue family in the second room. She was young and widowed, there was not even a flower in the courtyard, the girls were all dusty, and she had a strange temperament and a bad temper. Whether it was the Yao family or the people in the third room, they had no intention of dealing with her, so they just passed in front of her courtyard.

As for the East Courtyard, it is now the residence of two old aunts, Aunt Fu and Aunt Zhang. The former is the biological mother of the late male owner of the second room, Qin Huai, and the latter is his concubine, who gave birth to Qin Youzhen, the widow of the second room. It is said that the Xue family was very unwilling to see Aunt Zhang. There was already a discord between wives and concubines, and the Xue family fled back to her parents' house after her husband's family was in distress, but Aunt Zhang returned to her ancestral home with Mrs. Ye and gave birth to a daughter in her hometown. Compared with Qin Bofu's encounter when Qin Song questioned his bloodline, Qin Youzhen was very loved by the Qin family, and even the nobles in the palace took pity on him. The concubine is more valued than the concubine, how can the Xue family endure it? Qin Youzhen's biological mother, Aunt Zhang, naturally became her punching bag. Aunt Fu still couldn't get used to it, so she specially asked Aunt Zhang to move over to accompany her to recite the scriptures and worship the Buddha, and the latter could be regarded as escaping from the clutches of the Xue family. Xue was no longer happy, and when he needed to play the deceased husband's signboard, he didn't dare to offend the deceased husband's biological mother, so he had to secretly strangle himself.

Aunt Fu was very kind. She is now the most familiar person with Qin Bai in the Chengenhou Mansion, except for Qin Song and his wife and the Xue family. Compared to others, she may have a more peaceful state of mind. Hearing that the third room was coming, she took Aunt Zhang and a few girls to welcome her out, and smiled and invited Qin Bai's family to come in for a cup of tea. She also looked at Qin Bai with nostalgic eyes, and touched Qin Hanzhen and Brother Zi'er's little faces lovingly, and sighed: "The third young master is also old now, and he is also the age of full children and grandchildren. More than thirty years have passed in the blink of an eye. Why didn't the Third Young Master come back earlier?"

Qin Bai looked at her with a smile, recalling her beautiful appearance in the past, and couldn't help but sigh at her gray hair now. He said: "I have a lot of things to ask my aunt, it's not early today, can we visit my aunt another day?"

Old Aunt Fu knew that he wanted to ask Mrs. Ye about it, so she smiled and nodded: "The third young master can come over at any time." She glanced at the west side again, "If the third young master finds it inconvenient and sends someone to summon him, it will be the same if I go to the Qingfeng Pavilion." ”

Qin Bai saluted her and took his family to leave.

Further south, there is the Fugui Residence where the second room lives. This is a large courtyard with two entrances, and there is also a small gate leading to Qingyun Lane, which can be exited from the southeast corner gate. Because the attitude of the second room to the third room was not very good, Qin Bai felt that his wife, grandson, and granddaughter only needed to recognize the door and know who lived here, and there was no need to disturb the door, so he asked the Yao family to lead the way, directly crossed the gate of Fuguiju, followed the aisle, and returned to the front yard. This trip to the Chengenhou Mansion is over.

Qin Bofu in the second room was not at home, and he went to the yamen on a bad trip. Xiao Xue got the news, and when he rushed to the door, he could only see the backs of everyone in the third room.

Xiao Xue couldn't help sighing, feeling pity in his heart, and slowly returned to the house.

The eldest girl Caiya asked her puzzled: "What's wrong with grandma? Isn't it a good thing that the people in the third room didn't come in? The third master and the third wife didn't come in, otherwise grandma wouldn't know whether to entertain them, or just invite people out." If you directly invite people out, it will be too rude, and it will make Changfang get a handle. But if they are invited in for tea, the wife and uncle will find out, and they should complain about the grandmother. ”

Xiao Xue shook his head: "The family is like this, why bother?" She didn't say much, picked up the book she had read half before, and re-read it. (To be continued.) )
