Chapter 91: Placement
Directly north of the courtyard is the upper room, and there is an ear room on the left and right sides of the upper room, and a back room at the back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 On both sides of the courtyard, there are east and west wings, and there are verandahs connecting the houses. In the middle of the courtyard, a large bluestone fish tank is placed, and several koi fish swim in and out of the aquatic plants, which has the finishing touch and adds a smart atmosphere to the whole yard.
The south side is surrounded by the courtyard wall, and a small gatehouse is set up in the southeast direction as a door to enter the "Qingzhu Garden" from the inner courtyard, and the plaque is hung on the lintel. At the entrance, there is a shadow wall directly in front of you, and when you turn the shadow wall, you will enter the courtyard. On the left, between the west wing and the courtyard wall, there is a small cross-courtyard, which is used as a kitchen. On the right side of the shadow wall, there is an alley next to the east wing, and the alley comes to the end, and an east corner door is opened, which can go straight to the outside of the house, so that the mother-in-law can go out to buy.
The whole "Songxi Academy" has a square outer courtyard and a semicircular inner courtyard. Wrapping this semicircle is the back alley where the servants of the Tu family live. The Tu family's sons, housekeepers, and housekeepers all live here. In the past, people entered and exited through the West Corner Gate. This east corner gate is specially for the Xu family to enter and exit, and the Xu family's stewards and servants naturally live in this back alley.
Of course, whether it is the Tu family or the Xu family, the masters enter and exit or take the main gate to the west. In this way, the distance between "Qingzhuyuan" and the gate is the farthest.
Xu Wenyu was particularly excited when he saw the fish, lying on the fish tank, his eyes swirling around with the koi fish. He beckoned to Xu Wanzhen and said, "Sister, come and see." These fish are so beautiful!"
Xu Wanzhen saw that Mrs. Xu was not in high spirits, so she responded: "Yu'er, Sister will help Grandmother into the room first, and then come to watch the fish with you later." ”
When Xu Wenyu heard this, he didn't look at the fish anymore, ran over with a "puff", raised his little face and asked nervously, "Is grandmother tired?"
Seeing that he was so nervous, Mrs. Xu felt relieved, and smiled reluctantly: "Yu'er, don't worry, grandmother is just a little sleepy, you go play." "The Xu family has the habit of taking a lunch break, and now that it is time to take a lunch break, they have already finished their lunch break and got up.
And this morning I arrived at Luoshui Wharf, and then took a carriage to the "Songxi Academy", all the way to the tiring. In the morning, he met with the shopkeeper Yu to find out the whole story, and at noon, he had to deal with the Lin family, which was laborious. After all, Mrs. Xu is an elderly person, and she finally settled down at this moment, but her exhaustion came up all of a sudden, and she was indeed a little sleepy.
Yulu saw that she looked tired, and said, "Old lady, the slaves and maids have packed up the upper room, but the luggage has not yet been settled. Why don't you rest and clean up when you get up?"
Old Madam Xu nodded, Xu Wanzhen helped her into the room, and said softly: "Grandmother has a good rest, and I will settle the living, how about it?"
"Good. With the real child, I can live a few more years with less care. Old Madam Xu patted her hand and said with a smile.
Xu Wanzhen didn't follow and said, "Grandmother will definitely live a long life." ”
While speaking, Yulu called hot water, Biluo served Mrs. Xu to clean her face, and when she closed her eyes and rested, Xu Wanzhen gently withdrew.
Standing at the door of the upper room, Xu Wanzhen looked at the courtyard. Perhaps because it is located in the suburbs of Beijing, although it is only a courtyard, it is spacious and bright. If it is placed in the capital, such a large area can be made into a courtyard, which is simply a luxury and waste.
Taking a deep breath of fresh air, looking at the open scenery in front of him, Xu Wenyu who was playing lively in the courtyard, Xu Wanzhen had fallen in love with this place. The fist on his side clenched quietly, telling himself: "The first goal: Shangjing, it has been completed." Next, no matter how difficult it is, I'm going to make things better and better!"
Sang Zi stepped forward and replied, "Miss, the east and west wings have been cleaned, how do you and the young master settle them?"
"Yu'er lives in the east wing, Liu's mother serves him, and then dials a rough mother-in-law to go over. I packed my luggage and bedding into the West Wing. Xu Wanzhen said as she walked: "The left ear room of the upper room is set up with a bookcase and changed into a warm pavilion, and the right ear room is changed into a flower hall for guests." You, Biluo, Yulu, and Mama Zheng all live in the back cover room. The courtyard gate and the east corner gate should arrange for the mother-in-law to keep vigil on duty, and the lock should not be neglected. The people in the courtyard are forbidden to eat, drink, gamble, and make good rules. Once discovered, never be spared. ”
Mama Zheng listened to it on the sidelines, and saw that she was thinking clearly, organized, and arranging reasonably, and she was secretly amazed in her heart. After these things, the young lady is really different, she is not yet fourteen years old, and she has begun to take on the demeanor of a master mother in dealing with things. Xu Manzhen is still a few months older than Miss, and she still looks innocent.
In the palace, Mama Zheng has seen many young ladies and women, and witnessed them change dramatically from young girls when they entered the palace in just one or two years. Either go through hardships and transform into butterflies, or disappear into the palace silently. Xu Wanzhen's situation, although it is not as cruel as the environment of those girls in the palace, but compared with the young lady who has a smooth family, she has already experienced several ups and downs, and on her immature shoulders, she bears the responsibility that does not match her age. Today's Xu Wanzhen is so mature and sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
Xu Wanzhen stepped into the west wing, the west wing is the same as the east wing, both of which are composed of one bright and two dark rooms. The middle room is a living room, and the bedrooms are flanked by the bedrooms. Xu Wanzhen instructed Sang Zi to spread the bedding in the bedroom to the north, and the bedroom to the south to be converted into a study. "Everyone is tired today, so let's rest. There is no rush to change the room, take your time. ”
Xu Wanzhen was lying on the newly made bed, and had just arrived at Tu's house, and there were still many things. Ben only closed his eyes to recuperate, and never wanted to fall asleep in a daze. When I woke up, it was already sunset. Xu Wanzhen was not fully awake, and there was a question of where she was for a while.
Looking out through the tent, the afterglow spilled into the window, gilding the furnishings in a hazy gold rim. Time seems to freeze, and the room is quiet and beautiful.
Xu Wanzhen sat up and rubbed her forehead. Yes, not in Suzhou, not on a ship, we have arrived in the capital. It was only then that he came to his senses.
Hearing the sound of her getting up, Sang Zi came in with hot water and served her to clean her face. "The old lady has been awake for a while, and when she hears that the young lady is still sleeping, she tells you not to disturb you. I asked about the resettlement and said that it was very good, so I did as you said. ”
A hot towel was applied to her face, and after a full sleep in the afternoon, Xu Wanzhen only felt full of energy. Said: "Later, my aunt will arrange for someone to bring dinner over, so I don't have to go out of the yard, I'll just clean it up." ”
Sang Zi combed her long hair into braids, put on half-worn household clothes, and put on a cloak, Xu Wanzhen took Sang Zi and walked to the upper room.
Before he went in, he heard Xu Wenyu's lively voice coming out: "Grandmother, those fish are fun." As soon as I passed, they came around. As soon as they walked, they scattered. There was a fish with a red head and a white body, and it ate my hand. ”
Seeing Xu Wanzhen come in, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Zhen'er, look at this leather monkey, we are all resting, and he actually watched the fish for an afternoon." ”
Xu Wanzhen took off the cloak, handed it to Sang Zi, and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't sleep, you missed sleep at night in the province." At Yu'er's age, she is curious, looking at the fish and raising her eyes. (To be continued.) )
