Chapter 25 Choosing a Residence
Leaving Songfeng Hall, the three rooms and his party came to the Shengyi Residence behind Songfeng Hall under the leadership of Yao's family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the residence of Qin Zhonghai and the Yao family, and it is also the place where the traditional heirs of the Hou Mansion live. It's just that when the old marquis Qin Yang was in charge, he didn't follow this rule. When Yuan Pei Huang was alive, his eldest son Qin Song was still young and had not yet left his mother's courtyard and occupied a courtyard alone. And when the step-room Ye family entered the door, because Qin Song insisted on objecting, she did not move into the Songfeng Hall where the hostess of the Hou Mansion should live, but lived in this Shengyi Residence. In this way, Qin Song, who is the heir of the Hou Mansion, naturally has no way to live in Shengyi Juli.
He moved into Tingyuxuan, which was next to Songfeng Hall, saying that he wanted to be closer to his biological mother's former residence. But because Ting Yuxuan was not big enough in the past, there was only one entry, Qin Baiwei was fine when he lived alone in one courtyard, and when he moved into the Qingfeng Pavilion with two entrances, Qin Song began to think that his residence was not spacious enough, and he made trouble several times.
Of course, these things are in the past. Now Tingfeng Pavilion is where Qin Song's second son, Qin Shutao, lives, and it has also been expanded, which happens to occupy half of the land of Qingfeng Pavilion. I don't know if Qin Song deliberately did this.
Shengyiju is a place that Qin Bai is very familiar with. When he was a child, he lived here with his mother Ye and sister Qin Fan until he moved to Seifukan when he was seven years old. The layout of Shengyiju is still the same as he remembers, with three main rooms, two ear rooms on the left and right, and even the hugging building in front of the main house is still the same as it was more than 30 years ago. The Xifu begonias in the courtyard have grown tall, and now they are in the flowering period, and a large piece of pink and white is blooming extraordinarily delicately.
Qin Bai looked at the Xifu begonia and couldn't help but fall into the memory. I remember that when he was young, he also sat in the hugging building with his mother and sister, looking up to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the begonia flowers blooming and shining like clouds in the courtyard. At that time, my mother drew a "Begonia Picture", and my sister made a Begonia poem, and he was still commenting on it.
Qin Bai was a little distracted, but Qin Hanzhen looked up at this large and beautiful begonia flower, and there was only admiration on his face. She said repeatedly, "It's so beautiful!" and circled around the begonia tree, and couldn't help but wonder, "How old is this begonia tree?"
Niu Shi also looked at the begonia tree with amazing eyes, and sighed: "It's been at least fifty or sixty years, right?
Yao said proudly and self-assuredly: "Let the third aunt see it, I heard that this Xifu begonia was planted when our old marquis was still living in this courtyard when he was young, but it must have been around for 60 years? Since the rehabilitation of our Qin family, the days have become more and more prosperous, and this begonia has also bloomed better and better year by year. When people outside saw it, there was nothing they didn't boast about, and they all said that this was our family's feng shui tree. It is so good, it means that our family's fortune is prospering!"
Qin Hanzhen blinked and glanced at Yao with some surprise. Not to mention that Sanfang is also a member of the Qin family, this courtyard is the former residence of Qin Bai's biological mother, Yao's introduction of this Xifu begonia in the owner's tone always makes people feel weird, and what she said is also full of noise. At the moment, if the Chengenhou Mansion is really as she said, good luck and prosperity, then what is Chengenhou hurriedly inviting his grandfather Qin Bai back to the capital?
Even if there is no matter that the Marquis of Cheng'en inexplicably lost his holy family around the New Year, there is no child in the Chengenhou Mansion who really holds real power, and the saints who can rely on him are not willing to reuse them, and the East Palace has been weak for many years, and almost everyone believes that he will not live to inherit the throne and give birth to a healthy grandson. The current scenery of Chengenhou Mansion is just like a castle in the sky. When the Holy Lord and the East Palace can no longer be their backers, and the new master sitting on the dragon chair no longer has any leniency for the Chengenhou Mansion, what else can be relied on in this mansion?
Did the Yao family not find out about the crisis in the Chengenhou Mansion, or did they know the truth, but they still had to be stubborn for the sake of face?
Brother Zi'er was held by his nursing mother, looking at the beautiful Xifu Begonia, and couldn't help but reach out and want to pick a flower. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in a red bikini waiting next to the tree hurriedly stepped forward to stop: "Brother, be careful, don't let the bees and insects on the tree sting." ”
Brother Zi'er was taken aback, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and said a little timidly: "Will there be bees and bugs?"
The girl said solemnly: "This flower blooms so well, naturally there will inevitably be insects." Be careful, brother, don't get too close, just take a look. ”
Brother Zi'er nodded a little scared. The nurse holding him was a little unconvinced: "Where are there so many insects? But isn't there nothing?"
The girl glanced at her: "Wait until you see the insects to stop them, isn't it too late?"
Qin Hanzhen was attracted by the dispute between them and looked at it twice. Although the spring is blooming now, there will inevitably be bees or something on the flowers and trees, but for this little thing to quarrel, Brother Zi'er's nurse is too reckless, and the girl is too stingy. Brother Zi'er just saw that the flowers were beautiful and wanted to pick one to play. What's the big deal?
Qin Hanzhen turned his head directly and asked Yao: "Aunt Ertang, can I pick a begonia flower and go back?" ”
Yao laughed and said, "What's this? If you like it, just take it off." It's just that we still have a lot of places to visit, and it's very inconvenient to bring flowers. Simply, I don't need you to bother, I will ask the girls to break the branches, insert the bottles, and send the flowers directly to your house. When you go back to Seifukan after shopping, you can see the flowers directly, how about it?"
Of course, Qin Hanzhen agreed, and Brother Zi'er was also very happy. Only the girl in the red armor looked distressed and seemed a little unhappy.
Qin Bai thanked Yao's jaw: "My nephew and daughter-in-law are bothered. Yao smiled and replied: "Don't dare to be." She turned around and hugged Niu affectionately, "Third aunt, let's go to the place where the girls live next, how about it? Why don't you take her hands on her and see which room is there to live in?"
Niu's was suddenly interested.
Coming out of Shengyiju, there is another alley across a passageway. There are two courtyards connected here, and the door at the end of the road is sealed, just because these two courtyards are the residences of the ladies of the house, and the access control is extraordinarily strict. There is no way to enter this place without passing through the residence of the master and the young master.
The place near the west is the Peach Blossom Pavilion, just like the name of the courtyard, there are many peach blossoms planted in the courtyard, as well as streams, paths and other landscaping, quite elegant. In the past, this was the residence of Qin Youzhen, who came out of the second room, and now it is also the residence of the two girls in the second room, Qin Jinyi and Qin Jinchun. Because of the unharmonious relationship between the second room, the long room, and the third room, the Yao family only gave a rough introduction to this courtyard, and did not lead the people in the third room to visit. Qin Bai, Niu's and the others didn't care, they were more concerned about the Mingyuewu next door to Taohuaxuan.
Mingyuewu is in the east of Peach Blossom Xuan, only separated from Shengyi Ju by an alley, which looks about the same size as Peach Blossom Xuan, but it is actually a little more spacious and more refined. In the past, this was the residence of Qin Youyi, the youngest daughter of the Changfang, but now there is only one owner living here - Qin Youyi's niece, who is also Qin Jinhua, who is the eldest daughter of the Changfang. She occupied three main rooms by herself, and the east and west wings were empty. originally thought that in two years, there would be five cousins Jinrong moving in, but now Qin Hanzhen unexpectedly came and took the lead.
The main room of this courtyard is said to be three, but it is actually very spacious, not smaller than the room of the Seifukan, but there are no left and right ear rooms. Qin Jinhua used the bright room in the middle as a small hall, the east room as a study, and the west room as a bedroom, which was very gorgeous and comfortable. With her birth and status, she deserves this kind of treatment.
The vacant east and west wings are also three-room rooms, and it is estimated that they will also be arranged in the middle hall, a study and a bedroom on the left and right. Qin Han really said that he could choose any room, but in fact, he just chose the east and west chambers. Pick the rest, it is estimated that it is the future residence of the fifth sister Jinrong.
Qin Hanzhen hesitated for a moment, thinking about the pros and cons of the east and west wings. Niu whispered to persuade her: "You are a sister, so naturally you should live in the east." Our family's old house in Mizhi also lives in the east wing of your father, and your second uncle lives in the west wing. If you ask your sister to live in the east, what will you do in the future?"
Qin Hanzhen was stunned, and whispered to her: "But when I live in the east room, when the sun shines in in the morning, there is no east window, and the light will be very dim." In the afternoon, it's time to bask in the west again. Winter and spring are fine, but what about summer?"
Niu Shi was stunned, he really hadn't thought about this problem. In the past, when she was at home, she never heard her eldest son and daughter-in-law complain that the East Chamber was not good.
Qin Hanzhen understands why, the Qin family's mansion in Mizhi County is said to be sitting in the north and facing south, but in fact, the orientation is slightly off, living in the east wing, and the situation in the west is not serious. As for the lighting, all the rooms are dark, the windows are all plastered with paper, and lighting is the norm during the day, so who cares?
It's different now, almost all the rooms in the Hou Mansion are inlaid with glass windows, and when the sun shines in, it's not a joke.
Qin Hanzhen insisted on pointing to the west wing: "I want the room over there!"
Yao was stunned, in fact, she originally thought that the third room would choose the east wing. Originally, she planned to leave the west wing to her niece Jinrong, and the east wing was to be reserved as a room for the Jinhua sisters to practice calligraphy, painting and needlework, but because there was an extra Qin Hanzhen, she had to vacate it. But since Qin Hanzhen had already picked the West Chamber, Qin Bainiu nodded again, and the matter was settled.
Yao thinks about it, it is still important to have his own daughter. Jinhua is looking forward to having a sister to accompany him, and since the child in the third room has agreed to come, everything else is a trivial matter. A niece is not as important as her own daughter.
Yao smiled and agreed: "Okay, I'll order you to go down and decorate the house for the third sister." What the third sister wants, just tell them. I'll tell them to decorate!" and discussed with Niu, "The third uncle, the third aunt, and the sisters and brothers should also make a few new clothes, which will be easy to wear when they go out to meet guests in the future." Since I want to decorate the house for the third sister, I have to ask their needlework to help, so why don't I just let people do it together? ”
Niu Shi was a little puzzled: "We have just made a lot of new clothes, and we don't need to make them again." ”
Yao just smiled and looked at Qin Bai.
Qin Bai thought for a while and said, "Let them do it, they all understand the rules and customs, and they are better than our own needlework." The Qin family has always had rules, and the masters of the family have to make new clothes every season, and since we are the Qin family, we should naturally not be an exception. It's a really new house, and it's better to get out of the third room. Except for the things that should be there according to the rules, the other three rooms are out by ourselves, and the niece and daughter-in-law don't have to worry about it. ”
Yao was stunned. (To be continued.) )
