Chapter 64: The Garden
"Miss, I'll let the big girl Vanilla take you over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as Alinga left, Dong Efurong stepped forward and said.
"Okay, thank you second aunt, I'm tired of you. Ying Qi said lightly.
"This is what I should do. Dong Efurong beckoned, and a maid in a bamboo green dress stepped forward.
"Then let's all disperse first. Ying Qi looked at the others, and everyone took their leave.
"Miss, please come here. After Chuncao came up to salute, he led the way in front, so the group walked to Chunguiyuan.
Chunguiyuan swept away at a glance, and it seemed to be a few acres in size, almost the same size as the old lady's residence in Wuya Mansion. On the right is a grove and on the left is the house. On both sides is a verandah, and in the courtyard is a rockery pool, with a few banana trees planted on one side, and there seems to be a peach tree next to it. On the other side, there is a begonia tree, the canopy is like an umbrella, the silk is green, lush, and there is a small pavilion next to the begonia.
Bypassing the rockery, it is a three-entry courtyard. In front is a big flower hall, there is a side room on the left and right sides of the flower hall, and the main house is in the middle, and the main house is divided into two houses, east and west, and each has four houses. Behind is a small kitchen, a miscellaneous room, and a number of houses.
No wonder it's called Garden, which is bigger than Zhao Yulan's house. This is where Wu Ya Bingfeng lived alone before, the life of a nobleman, Ying Qi couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Now, of course, it's her yard.
"Miss, the house has just been cleaned up. Second Lady ...... The second aunt has arranged to place some antique ornaments, if the eldest lady doesn't like it, she can go to the warehouse to replace them at any time. Chuncao saluted.
"Well, I'll take a look first. Ying Qi nodded.
entered the main house first, and Ying Qi was instantly thundered. Entering the door, there is a large screen with ten beautiful pictures, which is also inlaid with gemstones. On the right-hand side is a mahogany chaise longue, and a lake-blue silk beaded curtain hangs from the eye-raising window. On the left is a mahogany desk, with a set of paper, pen and inkstone, and a large Ru kiln flower sac on the table, with a few red and bright coral trees.
Bypassing the screen, a beautiful antique bed, a good rosewood bed, a picture of phoenix opera peony in the middle of the relief, carved with different begonia flowers on both sides, it seems that her mother is a person who likes begonias. There are pearls in the hollow, and the phoenix beak in the middle also contains a big night pearl. The three-layer bed is hung with a moon platinum and silver filigree double-layer ruyi pattern tent, and the bed is covered with a dark green bamboo mat. The golden silk pattern of the bird quilt, the thick incense of the Ruyi pillow. There is also a gold box of Song porcelain begonia flowers with spices next to the pillow.
A dresser on the left-hand side. It is still carved from rosewood, and the mirror table is a large peony in full bloom, and in the middle and to the left and right is the magpie Dengmei pattern tapering plate, with five small drawers, and the carved plum blossom pattern. Three bent legs and feet, pot door type curly grass pattern tooth plate. On the dressing table is a set of grooming sets, all of which are made of openwork jewelry.
"My God, it's really golden. Ying Qi was a little speechless, and felt that the whole room was shining.
Could it be that her mother liked this kind of furnishings before, this is not the standard equipment of the nouveau riche, but her mother was born in the Wuya family, not to. . . Ying Qi scolded in her heart.
The room on the left seems to be a study, with a very bright light and a wall of bookcases. In addition, there is a smaller chaise longue, which is estimated to be convenient for reading and taking a nap. The study and the main house are connected to a small bedroom, and there is a small cabinet of begonias written on the lintel. The two rooms on the right are clean rooms and pantry rooms, because the pantry room needs a maid to be on duty at night, but it is the largest of several small rooms, with two beds separately.
"Let Qingzhi live in the Begonia Closet for the time being, so that she can be closer to me. Ying Qi looked at her sister who had been afraid to speak out beside her, and her courage seemed to be surprisingly small. I kept letting Ying Qi hold her, without saying a word.
"By the way, Qingzhi, do you want to clean your hands?" Ying Qi suddenly remembered that no one seemed to have raised the question of the thatched house. It's not easy for children to get into trouble or something, and if they pee their pants, they will really be speechless.
Qingzhi was a little scared, and she didn't dare to answer.
"Don't be afraid, I'm your big sister. There will be a big sister to protect you in the future. Don't be afraid, you know?" Ying Qi squatted in front of her, touching her head.
"Come, tell my sister, do you want to clean your hands, are you hungry, do you want to drink water or eat?" Ying Qi looked at the girl who looked like a cat.
Qingzhi still didn't dare to speak, just looked at her timidly. It is estimated that she is usually too timid, Ying Qi sighed, Narcissus doesn't know how to raise a child like this, of course, nature is also possible.
"Xueyun, you take Miss Fourth to clean her hands first, and then find her something to drink and pastries or something. Ying Qi commanded directly.
"Yes, miss. Xueyun picked up Qingzhi and left. Qingzhi had been hugged by her before, and she was startled at the time. This will be used to it again, and there will be no more frightening feelings.
"Go to the Westinghouse. Ying Qi said to the others. Westinghouse's furnishings are much simpler. It's all the same furnishings as a guest room, except for the bed, table and chairs, and even the dresser looks brand new, not to mention the quilt cover and pillows.
"You're still mindful. Ying Qi praised Chuncao.
"The slave didn't dare. Chuncao replied with a smile, "It's good that the eldest lady is satisfied." ”
"Then in the room on the left side of the West House, Mama Wang and Mama Li will live separately, and Lixia and Xueyun on the right will each have a room. In the back room, the four of you will choose your own first, one for each of you. The rest will be arranged by Mama when the rest of the people arrive. "After seeing Westinghouse, Yingqi didn't go to the backyard. After all, everyone is a little tired from coming over today, anyway, it's all their own yard, and there will be more opportunities to watch it in the future.
"I've seen the eldest lady, the cages have been delivered, where do you think it's appropriate?" The same maid in a bamboo green dress came in.
"What's your name?" asked Yingqi.
"The slave's name is Xia Lan. The maid replied respectfully.
"Well, let's send them all in, I'll divide them and send them to each house. ”
Ying Qi took everyone back to the flower hall, and sure enough, everyone's boxes and cages had all been placed in the flower hall.
At this time, Xueyun had already taken Qingzhi to the flower hall.
"Have you eaten?" Ying Qi asked Qingzhi as she stepped forward.
Qingzhi nodded, looked at her, and still didn't speak. But his eyes flickered, and he seemed to be a little happier.
"I went up to the hut and ate a little pastry. Xue Yun saw that Qingzhi didn't answer for a long time, so she returned to Yingqi.
"Well, let's help my sister pack her clothes. Ying Qi took Qingzhi by the hand and stepped forward.
So everyone began to pack their things, Yingqi had eight cages, one cage each for Lixia and Xueyun, one cage each for Mama Wang and Mama Li, one cage for pearl and jade clothes, and one box for amber and coral's clothes. After about an hour, they were all moved and their houses were all placed.
Ying Qi doesn't have anything herself, her things are all in Zhao Yulan's house, and the gold and silver used on weekdays are all saved to Zhao Yulan except for the old lady's reward.
All her things were several large boxes of clothes and accessories sent by the Wu Ya family this time, as well as gold, silver and jewelry given by the emperor and Concubine De after entering the palace. is very rich, after all, it is impossible for Concubine De to weaken her family's reputation, so after knowing that her clean body entered the house, she naturally rewarded a lot. In this way, inside the palace and outside the palace, there are eight large cages.
Open and check one by one, Chuncao is helping on the side, pearls and jade, silk brocade, all kinds of jewelry are brilliant, scorching, Chuncao feels a little dazzled. "Sister Lixia, the eldest lady's things are so exquisite. "The main thing is that the things in the palace are more exquisite.
"Sister Chuncao, just call me Lixia. Lixia said with a smile. "The eldest lady is now an Xiangjun, but there is a steady stream of local tax revenue, which is just a part of the eldest lady's own. ”
"That's true. Chuncao looked envious. "It's still our eldest lady who is amazing, so young, she is already a noble countryman. ”
"Of course. Lixia replied arrogantly. At that time, I was reluctant to be given to the fourth lady by the old lady, and now I think that I should be better off in the future. Just with the current identity of the eldest lady, it is not comparable to the young ladies in the family.
"I envy you. Chuncao said enviously.
"It's nothing. You are also the eldest maid of the second aunt, and your status is quite high. We're all maids. And now it's a family, and everyone is the same. Lixia said immediately.
"Yes, too. Chuncao didn't say anything more, and the two continued to clean up.
At this time, a little maid walked up to Chuncao and muttered a few words, and Chuncao put down the work in her hand, straightened her clothes, patted the dust, and came to Yingqi's side.
"Miss, Mu Xin asks to see you. Chuncao said to Ying Qi.
"Oh, bring him in, I'll see him in the study. Ying Qi nodded and said to the pearl beside her, "Pearl, you go with Chuncao to greet you." ”
"Yes. And the pearl went out with the spring grass.
Ying Qi took Qingzhi and entered the study with Xueyun and the two grandmothers.
As soon as he was seated, Musin came in.
"The minion has seen the eldest lady. Musin stepped forward and bowed.
Both grandmothers frowned. Ying Qi swept slightly, obviously Mu Sin's demeanor was a little disrespectful.
"Snow clouds. Ying Qi raised her voice slightly. Xueyun immediately stepped forward, kicked on Mu Xin's leg, and slapped down with one hand, Mu Xin suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground, feeling that his whole body was weak and unable to focus.
"Musin, you don't dare to do this when you see my Ama and my brothers. As Miss Yan, why can't I deserve your courtesy?" Ying Qi saw that Mu Xin seemed to be struggling.
"Miss, the minion doesn't dare!" Mu Sin's body, which was about to get up, softened again.
"Then I, as An Xiangjun, don't deserve your courtesy?" As soon as these words were gone, Mu Xin's whole body fell to the ground.
"Slaves should die! Slaves should die!" Mu Xin directly lay on the ground and kowtowed vigorously.
"Alright, get up. Amma didn't ask you to come and kowtow to me. After he kowtowed a dozen times, it seemed that his forehead was about to break, and Ying Qi spoke lightly.
"Miss Xie! the slave doesn't dare!" Mu Xin just stopped kowtowing, still not daring to get up.
Snow Cloud rolled his eyes on the side. "Fourth Miss, you see, the slave is naturally well-behaved after being taught. By the way, I'm still teaching Qingzhi who is sitting in a small chair. Qingzhi was a little surprised that the big housekeeper who was arrogant in front of her mother before was so scared by her big sister.
"Okay, get up, or I'll listen to you well. Ying Qi frowned.
"Yes. Musin got up. looked at the noble little girl in front of her, and didn't dare to look directly at it for a while. This is really the girl raised in the countryside in everyone's mouth. Besides, she's not even six years old now.
