96. The Guest (3)
didn't say yes, didn't say disagree, just said that he was reluctant to marry his granddaughter early, which is also in line with human nature.
The Duchess of Dingguo is not entangled, a good woman is begging for a hundred families, she has more contacts with Xia Mansion a few times, her own son is good in appearance and temperament, and has real power in the court, she is not afraid that they will look down on her.
Stretched out his hand and took a sip of tea from the tea bowl, and said with a smile: "Second Miss is such a beautiful lady, and she is not afraid of a few years later." ”
Mrs. Xia smiled and started to talk differently: "I heard that Mrs. Wanwan said that Mrs. believes in Buddhism, but I have a few statues of Guanyin painted by Master Akihito and the Dizang Sutra translated by Master Xuanzhi, and I ask Mrs. to take a look......"
Chanyi listened to Mrs. Xia's cliché and began to talk about the scriptures, she couldn't help but doze off a little, looked sideways at Wang Lin, and found that she was sitting solemnly, not squinting, but if you look carefully, her fingers gently stirred the handkerchief, but she looked a little bored, and couldn't help but laugh a little, it was really hard to be a guest at someone else's house.
Chanyi picked up the cloisonné enamel colorful small hanging pot and stored some tea in Wang Lin's teacup, and said closely: "What does my sister do on weekdays?"
Wang Lin smiled shyly, "On weekdays, most of the students are red students who read the Book of Filial Piety, and if they are free, they will also play a few games with their brothers." ”
I really have the demeanor of everyone's lady, I want to be at home, in addition to always beware of my aunt's frame-up, I also have to pay attention to my sister's tricks, my mother's illness, and I don't have any extra free time, so I can't help but sigh secretly.
Mrs. Xia glanced at them and said, "The juniors don't like to listen to these Buddhist principles, so let's take Sister Lin to the garden for a walk in the evening, it just so happens that the camellia is blooming in the conservatory, and by the way, cut a few for Mrs. to take back and insert the bottle." ”
Seeing that the Duchess of Dingguo nodded, Chanyi responded with a smile, took Wang Lin's hand and said, "My sister is a guest at our house for the first time, and I will take my sister to walk around the garden." ”
As he spoke, he sent the maid and the maid to put on a big hood, and took the hand warmer, and the two of them went to the garden.
The greenhouse is built in the Maple Forest Garden, very close to Fushoutang, the time to walk out of the Fushoutang for a stick of incense has arrived, the greenhouse is very warm, the magenta camellia is blooming, in addition to some junzi orchids and peonies, all hold the buds on the branches, has not yet bloomed, the leaves are green and oily a piece is particularly good-looking.
Wang Lin liked it very much when she saw it, stretched out her hand to caress the leaves of the Junzi Orchid, and said, "Our family also planted the Junzi Orchid, but it didn't grow so well." ”
Chanyi smiled: "If my sister likes it, I'll move a pot back and raise it later." ”
Wang Lin hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't, my mother said that Junzilan is difficult to live, especially if it is raised so well, it is about to bloom, don't look back and give it to those who are not dead or alive, then it will be my sin." ”
Chanyi didn't expect that she was still a person who loved flowers, and her words were soft and kind, and she really couldn't tell that she was the sister of the cold-faced Hou Ye.
Chanyi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said: "It's rare for my sister to like it, so my sister taught my sister a way to keep the gentleman's orchid raised by my sister to bloom three times a year." ”
Wang Lin's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What is the method?" ”
Chanyi said with a smile: "Junzi Orchid does not like the sun by nature, but it is not cold-tolerant, so if my sister is raised, it needs to be placed in a ventilated and shaded place, but to keep the house warm, it is best to be similar to my warm house now, and Junzi Orchid likes moist soil, you can often put some fertilizer in it every half a month, what peanut bran soybean cake soaked in water, and even horseshoe clams, so that the Junzi Orchid grows well and blooms from time to time." ”
Wang Lin stroked her hand, "No wonder my Junzi orchid grows like that, my mother often puts it under the sun, saying that flowers need to bask in the sun to grow well, it turns out that there are so many exquisite." ”
