Chapter 7: Inquiry

Ou Yamu is the daughter of Mrs. Sincere Bo Shizi and Aunt Hui Zhi. has a gentle personality, no matter who you talk to, it will make people feel like a spring breeze, and it is very comfortable. Hui Zhi and Sui Ping came early, and she took them to watch the scenery in Liangyi Building.

Liangyi building is three floors high, there are five rooms wide, the main hall of the first floor of a water of Huanghuali wood carved out of the water lotus furniture, paved with scarlet Ruyi group pattern brocade mat, the wall hangs a splashed ink landscape painting, the couplet on both sides is written with the official book uprightly written, "Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together, the autumn water is the same color of the sky".

On the long case below, there is a pair of azure glazed Ru kiln bottles, the lines are beautiful and smooth, the color is symmetrical and elegant, and it is very upright and generous.

There is a sweet white porcelain plum vase on the small table on both sides, and a bouquet of red plums is inserted, and the whole main hall can smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms, which is fresh and natural, and it is more popular than the incense room.

When you go up to the second floor, you can see the nearby stage and the twisting corridor behind it, the viewing pavilion with strange eaves on the small rockery, and the third floor can see the beautiful Pearl Lake in the backyard and the plum blossom forest in full bloom.

There are a few evergreen trees planted in front of the door of Liangyi Building, pruned into the shape of a treasure vase, and then there is a pool of water, and a small stage is repaired across the pond water, and the sound of babbling is heard through the sound of the water, which is very crisp and beautiful.

The scenery is beautiful from afar, the sound of the water is pleasant, and the distance is suitable, which is a building for the two.

Although Hui Zhi often comes to Chengyi Bofu with her mother, it is the first time that she can see the red plums in winter and the residual snow left on the frozen lake so seriously.

After a short time, several Mrs. Yushi and the female dependents of the scholars of the Zhou University of the Hanlin Academy entered the Liangyi Building one after another, and the incense breeze in the main hall was blowing, and the laughter was full of laughter, which was very lively.

Ouyang Mu took them downstairs, and the ladies who knew each other greeted each other, and the girls all smiled and knew each other. As soon as Mrs. Su Ge took her daughter-in-law and a few beautiful girls into the Liangyi Building, Mrs. Xiao Wang and her mother, Mrs. Cheng'anhou and Mrs. Qin, greeted her.

The old lady of Su Ge is fifty years old, her body is very healthy, the real purple brocade long gown, and the jade forehead is decorated with jade, and she looks very energetic. Her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Su, took a few girls forward to salute, and Hui Zhi's eyes couldn't help but be attracted to it.

The girls of the Su family are all extremely beautiful, and the eldest girl is about the age of Lu, with beautiful apricot eyes, a straight nose, and pale pink cheeks. The pearl bun, obliquely inserted with filigree inlaid sapphire butterfly hairpin, with blue palace flowers, with goose yellow makeup satin embroidered green plum short skirt, moon white plain gauze pleated skirt, it seems that she is slender and slender, dignified manners, as soon as you get closer, you can smell the unique and elegant plum blossom fragrance of Lan Linju.

The three girls have slender eyebrows, bright eyes, small red lips, and a rather shallow rouge, light and lovely. At the same age as Hui Zhi, he also uses pearls to coil his hair, but the hairpin is a pair of ruby agate peach blossom hairpins and the same pair of delicate and small agate earrings. Pink twined lotus pattern satin gown, autumn fragrant horse face skirt, embroidered with a foot-wide delphinium playing peach blossom edge, the skirt swaying, bright and moving.

Miss Su Wu is still young, her eyebrows and eyes are vivid, she wears a double hanging bun, brings a pair of tired silk and butterflies, wears a red jacket, a royal blue embroidered skirt, and happily looks like a doll coming out of a New Year's painting.

The laughter in the Liangyi Building continued, and Ouyang Mei, Hui Zhi, and Sui Ping all greeted each other with the girls of the Su family, and sat in the flower hall together.

Over there, Mrs. Su began to introduce her mother to the ladies of the Shen Mansion.

The eldest lady of the Shen family is surnamed Su, and she was originally a girl of the Su family.

Mrs. Shen is tall, wearing a long gown with rose-red makeup and gold stripes, an indigo-colored woven gold twelve palace-like Hunan skirts, a golden silk bun, a distracted hairpin carved with gold edges by the Eight Immortals over the Hague, a thumb-sized sapphire cloud covering the sideburns, a goose egg face, red lips, slender phoenix eyes and willow eyebrows, faintly a little not angry and arrogant, rich and noble, very conspicuous in the crowd.

The second lady of the Shen family looked very ordinary beside her, with a round bun, with a few monotonous and ordinary Ruyi golden hairpins and beaded flowers, and her face was slightly wider, which looked very easy to approach. She is of medium height, not thin, wearing a blue and gold-covered stand-up collar jacket, and a brown plain embroidered Hunan skirt with landscape edges, dressed in a crowd of ladies, which is easy to ignore at a glance.

And Mrs. Shen greeted the ladies of the family with a smile, it was a little noisy, and the second Mrs. Shen was on one side, like a transparent person, and almost no one spoke to her.

Hui Zhi saw that her mother seemed to have asked Mrs. Shen what to say, Mrs. Shen moved her body quietly, blocking Mrs. Shen behind her, and she talked to her mother softly.

The relationship between the two has reached such a point that they do not hide it in front of outsiders.

Second Mrs. Shen is not even counting the green leaves with safflower in this Liangyi Building full of floral fragrance and fat powder fragrance, just like the moss lying on the ground under the flower leaves

Pei Lan saw that Hui Zhi had been hiding her hand in the sleeve of the wrist, and asked, "Does Miss feel cold, the maid remembers that Aman took Miss's stove, and I am afraid that she will be in the side room, so I will go to her to add the stove." ”

Aman is a third-class little girl, not suitable to serve in Liangyilou, just now Mrs. Shen entered the door, she asked Aman to retreat, not only to read the rules to go to the side room where people rest, but also because Aman has a lively personality and young age, it is convenient to inquire about the news.

Hui Zhi bowed her head and signaled, half an hour has passed, Aman must be able to find out, and now it is just right to ask the time.

Ouyang Mu stretched out his hand and touched her hand, his fingertips were cold, and he said: "It's all my fault, my sister's health is probably not very good, so I'll ask the little girl to add some charcoal." ”

Hui Zhi stopped her with a smile and said, "This room is already very warm, if the house is burned hot for me, I'm afraid everyone will think it's too hot, and it's troublesome to add charcoal, just ask Pei Lan to get my usual hand stove to warm up." ”

Pei Lan saluted and walked out of Liangyi Building, but in a moment he came back with a delicate hand stove inlaid with red agate on the bottom of a gilt hibiscus pattern fried beads.

Ouyang Mu had already gotten up to greet the girls from other families, and Sui Ping was also pulled over by the three girls of the Su family to talk about tricks.

Pei Lan approached and whispered in her ear: "The housekeeper mother next to Second Mrs. Shen, the former first-class maid, a few of them are from the purple generation."

Hui Zhi was a little confused.

Shen Guifei has a very close relationship with her eldest brother Shen Jinrong, such a thing should be handled by the people around the eldest lady, how can it be the second lady?

You must know that Shen Jinshan, the second master of Shen, is a concubine, and he is not in harmony with Shen Guifei and Lord Shen, this is something that the nobles in the capital know!

Looking at the scene in Liangyi Building today, the second lady of the Shen family and the eldest lady of the Shen family are not close. If the concubine orders someone to do things, isn't it more appropriate for Mrs. Shen?

The more Hui Zhi thought about it, the more she didn't understand, she looked down at the red frenulum on her chest, and her head became more and more confused.

When he looked up again, he saw his mother standing beside Mrs. Shen, waving to him.

She didn't want to go over, but she could only muttered in her heart and walked slowly.
