Chapter 117: King Rong's Mansion
Mama Mu was dressed in a blue jacket skirt, and she looked like a housemother, following Zhen Wanyi's soft sedan chair on the right hand, and introduced while leading the road: "The inner courtyard of the palace is divided into three parts, and the main courtyard in the middle is called Jinxiang Courtyard, with a total of three courtyards with two cross-courtyards, and there are three courtyards with two entrances and several attics in the east and west. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Miss Nine just came in the south side of the door is for the backyard to enter and exit, the gatehouse there is twelve hours a day, in addition to the south side door, there are three side doors in the house, the west leads to the back street, there is a special place for the people in the house to live, and some of the prince's guards also live there, the side door by the north is close to the royal road, the prince walks there when he enters the palace, the side door to the east is next to the palace gate, and the adults in the outer courtyard walk there on weekdays. ā
Zhen Wanyi was very vague about what these things were, east and west, north and south, and after a long series of words, she only wrote down that the side door that came in was southern, as for the guards and the adults in the outer courtyard, she only knew that Hu Dahai had now become the long history of King Rong's mansion, and he was a government official from the fourth grade, representing Prince Rong's face outside. As for the other official positions, she doesn't know, and no one talks to her about them on weekdays, as if they are avoiding suspicion.
Looking up from the soft sedan chair, I saw the long bluestone road, and the glazed roof of the pavilion in the distance was bright and bright, hidden between the trees and rockeries, looming, remote and quiet.
"Walk down this road to the main courtyard, and we will first go to the water pavilion in the East Garden to rest, which is the first place to be cleaned up, and it is quite neat. Mama Mu on the side saw where Zhen Wanyi was looking, so she introduced.
Not long after, a pool of clear lake water appeared in front of everyone, Zhen Wanyi's pupils widened slightly, the Zhen Mansion in Qinghe City is already large, and the mansion is only a small pond, which is like here, the lake the size of a football field is like a good jade under the reflection of the blue sky, a drainage verandah by the lake, winding and lying, the bare willow branches hang low near the lake, and you can imagine the prosperous scene when the green willows are shady.
"This lake is made by drawing the living water of the moat, and there is a slightly smaller lake in the front yard, and the prince's study is on the edge of the lake. It's just that there is no good situation in this lake now, Miss Nine likes lotus, why don't we plant some in the spring next year. ā
Zhen Wanyi's eyes flashed slightly, "This, just follow Mama's wishes." ā
Mama Mu smiled, "The house has just been repaired, and there are still a lot of details in place, this Dongyuan garden is big, although there is nothing to see in the lake, but there is a flower room behind the water pavilion, and then there is a plum forest in the back, there are flowers arranged by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the flower room, and there are plants selected by the flower table a few days ago, Miss Nine and his wife can go to watch." ā
Everyone got off the soft sedan chair and walked along the verandah of the water pavilion, the warm air accompanied by the warm water vapor on the face, Zhen Wanyi couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly, and raised her head to meet the sun, how difficult it is to get such a piece of land in this capital city, the house that the fourth wife spent a lot of money to buy is not as big as this lake, even the Yu Mansion is limited by identity, and there is no such living water in the house, and the building is not as tall and spacious as the Qingyi Water Pavilion in front of her.
"After planting lotus flowers all over the lake here, the breeze is coming, it is full of fragrance, and the scenery is intoxicating when you think about it. ā
The third lady also nodded in agreement, "Hui Niang's words are true, but I am afraid that it is a little troublesome to find some precious lotus seeds, and some time ago I heard that the prince of Jin is also asking about lotus seeds everywhere, and the Panyue Water Pavilion of the Jin Palace's palace is a must in the capital." ā
Zhen Wanyi looked at the clean lake, sparkling and beautiful, "Actually, it's pretty good-looking, how beautiful it is." ā
The fourth lady laughed, "You girl, you are lazy, I wish everything around me was simple." What a pity that such a large lake is empty, if you plant lotus, you can enjoy the flowers and eat lotus seeds, and you can also take lotus roots to eat in autumn and winter, isn't it even more beautiful?"
Zhen Wanyi thought about it, "Then there is no need to limit any precious varieties, as long as the lotus seeds are sweet and the lotus root is delicious?"
Mama Mu nodded on the side, "The slave maid wrote it down, and when I turned around, I asked people to get it and plant it, this red lotus root fragrant glutinous stew soup is the best, and the white lotus root is crisp, and it is best to fry and eat." Then plant some of them. ā
Zhen Wanyi's little face was slightly red, and she glanced at Mama Mu, "These mammas are looking for your prince to get an idea, why are you making fun of me here." ā
Mama Mu smiled exaggeratedly: "The conscience of heaven and earth, Miss Jiu, this is what the prince ordered the slave maid to ask your opinion, this is the place where you will live in the future, so naturally you have to dress up according to your preferences." ā
The girls with their ears pricked up on the side listened, and a few laughs occurred at the right time, and Li Siniang's soft voice came with a thick disbelief, "Why does my sister want to live in Rongwang's Mansion in the future? Could it be that my sister is the concubine of Rongwang's Mansion?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and before Zhen Peiyi could speak, Mama Mu's face changed first, "The lady of the Li family said cautiously, Miss Nine has already married the prince of my family, just wait for Miss Nine and Lu to choose a day to welcome into the palace, and she will be the princess of our Rongwang Mansion in the future." "Speak loudly.
The fourth lady listened to the audience and couldn't help but smile on her face, feeling relieved. Zhen Wanyi tilted her head to look at the shocked look on Li Siniang's face, and then looked at the trace of contempt that flashed on Zhen Peiyi's face, as well as the surprise on Ma Liuniang's face, and couldn't help but have some doubts in her heart, didn't the outside world know about her and Muzi's marriage? Did the people in the Zhen Mansion deliberately hide it? Or did they also think it was impossible, so they didn't tell their families in detail.
Ma Liuniang's look of surprise, could it be that the Ma family also thought that she was going to be King Rong's concubine? Or did Zhen Huiyi think so, so she told her family the same, so they were unscrupulous in front of her? Thinking about it, it seems that this is the best reason. As for Zhen Peiyi, alas, Zhen Wanyi sighed secretly, forget it, I still don't think about what others think, what is the marriage She said, it doesn't matter, Mama Mu doesn't say it, everything has to be said by the one at the top,
Mama Mu didn't have too much defense, turned her head to Zhen Wanyi and said: "Miss Nine, the weather is good today, why don't you take the slave maid to the flower room to have a look, I heard the prince say that Miss Nine is very good at her art, and she also helped to give the flower room some guidance, and now the garden in the palace is zero in a hundred flowers." ā
"Mama is serious, it's just for me to play when I have nothing to do, and Mama will lead the way. Zhen Wanyi's mood was a little low for no reason, as if she was just a shady thing, her family didn't mention it, and Rongwangfu didn't mention it.
Zhen Wanyi hung her head and followed behind Mama Mu with mechanical steps, looking listless, and the various looks of the women behind her did not pay attention. (To be continued.) )
