In front of the gate of Qingsong Garden is a four-foot-wide path paved with bluestone bricks, and more than a dozen pine trees are planted on both sides, which seem to be still young, only about two zhang high. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This pine was planted seven years ago, and now the days are still short, and in a few years, the road will be very shady. Hongxue laughed as she walked.

Although it is called Qingsong Garden, it is not all planted with pine, and the painting spring is far away, and the two sides of the courtyard gate also carefully take care of a camellia field, with different colors, which makes people shine.

"Mrs. Tai must like these flowers and plants very much, I think those camellias are blooming very well. Eharu smiled.

"Yes, Mrs. Tai likes to raise some flowers and plants when she is fine, and now it has become a system. Hongxue said as she led the two into Qingsong Garden.

Qingsong Garden is very large, and Hongxue led them around and around, through a hall and hall, through a moon gate, and through a long road, before arriving at the Green Thorn Garden where Chang's family is located.

Chang's today is wearing a brocade red woven silver crane pattern tuanhua gown, wearing a royal blue forehead kerchief inlaid with glass beads, a pair of Xichi hairpins on the bun, and an emerald ring the size of a pigeon's egg on his right hand holding the teacup, sitting on the square stool next to the bluestone round table with an expressionless face, looking much more graceful and stable.

When she saw Hongxue leading the two in, she had a smile on her face. The three of them saluted, and Chang said, "Don't be polite, get up." And he commanded that a seat should be given.

Huichun didn't dare to say in a hurry, and directly explained the intention: "...... Today, my wife sent two slaves and maids to greet Mrs. Tai, send some Mid-Autumn Festival gifts, and want to invite Mrs. Tai to take the Hou Ye to the house tomorrow to participate in the family banquet, I don't know if Mrs. Tai can be free?"

Chang Shi groaned: "The in-laws' wife is kind, and it is inconvenient to refuse, but I am a widow in the end, and it is inconvenient to participate in the happy event...... If I ask my child to go with a gift tomorrow, I won't go. ”

When Huichun heard this, he secretly felt that Chang was a polite person, and said with a smile: "It's still Mrs. Tai's thoughtfulness, but in the end, Mrs. Tai's prosperity was swept away, and the slave maid made a compensatory for Mrs. Tai." Tomorrow, we will set up a banquet early and wait for the arrival of the Hou Ye. ”

"This is the kindness of the in-laws' wife, how can you blame it?" Chang saw that the Zhao family's posture was lowered, and his heart was also very happy, and his face was smiling, "Please thank the in-laws for me." ”

The two exchanged a few more polite words, and finally Hongxue stepped forward and said a few words in her ear, Chang nodded: "It's not easy to come here, why don't you let Hongxue take you around, and go back to talk to your in-laws." ”

The two thanked them and went out with Hongxue.

"Mrs. Tai is really kind. Out of Qingsong Garden, Huichun smiled at the red snow road.

Hongxue listened, smiled indifferently, and didn't answer, and introduced the customs of the Hou Mansion little by little along the road.

The Hou Mansion covers an area of about 20 acres. Ignoring the water pavilions and moon-viewing buildings that can be seen everywhere, there are about 30 large and small courtyards.

Among them, the larger courtyards are: Kaiyun Pavilion where Xu Xian lives now, Changchun Pavilion, the main house where Mrs. Hou lived in the past dynasties, Qingsong Garden where Mrs. Chang lived, Siyi, which has a unique architectural style, and Qiubozhou, which is surrounded by Weiyang Pond on three sides.

In these courtyards, there are four or five large main houses, the side rooms on both sides are deer roofs, the ear door drills the mountain, the garden is exquisite, the pavilions and water pavilions are innumerable, extending in all directions, and the end is a beautiful scenery.

The two of them followed Hongxue and looked at them one by one, and Huichun couldn't help but praise in a low voice several times.

When walking through Weiyang Pond, Yiying couldn't help but feel up and down.

In her previous life, she was here, and she made up her mind to break with Xu Xian, and she was determined to die, but she didn't want to be saved by Lian Jingqian, and she still wondered why he was so clear about the movements of the Hou Mansion, and he was able to arrive at the first time when she had an accident and save her life.

However, if he can successfully rehabilitate the case of Lao Ding'an's public conspiracy against the rebellion that has plagued him for several years, he must be a figure with his hands and eyes, and it is normal to do something surprising.

She smiled with relief, remembering the scene of the last time she met Lian Jingqian on South Street, and said secretly: At this time, he has probably successfully infiltrated the Changxin Marquis's Mansion. Thinking of such a person staying here at the moment, she suddenly felt that the murky air was not so unbearable.

The two of them talked and laughed, and after a while, they arrived at the largest garden in the Hou Mansion, Qianlai Garden.

She felt a pound in her heart.

Her children are not here...... She still remembers the panic and surprise when the doctor diagnosed her with a happy pulse, but unexpectedly, this surprise went so fast that she didn't even have time to see the child's appearance......

She just lost her child, how she hated Zhao Qingyi to the core, and how she couldn't sleep, she still remembers.

She had the good wish to live a quiet life after giving birth to a child, which was not a kind of concession, she also loved Xu Xian at that time, and she would be reluctant, but with this child, she wanted him to grow up healthy and safe, and her desire for power was unlimitedly faint. She thought that as long as the child could grow up healthy, it didn't matter if Xu Xian snubbed her, it didn't matter if Zhao Qingyi insulted her, even if the child didn't know that his mother was himself in his life...... She was willing, giving up everything for it.

But such a humble wish, she refused to fulfill her.

She closed her eyes and clenched her palms, as if she could still remember the monstrous anger at that time.

After a while, she slowly calmed down.

Later, she read a lot of Buddhist scriptures and gradually understood that her failure to give birth to the child was indeed related to Zhao's viciousness, but it was also related to her own cowardice and inability to protect it, and it was also related to her fate with the child. Even if you don't have a chance, you can't force it. All she could do was burn some paper money for it on the fifteenth day of the new year, praying that it would find a better home.

Hate, after all, there is no way to change and solve anything that makes people miserable, only by strengthening oneself and seeing one's heart clearly, can we protect what we want to protect and live the life we really deserve.

This was the truth in her previous life, and it took her many years to figure it out. In this life, she also hopes to do this, so that the people she cares about, her family, can live a safe and smooth life, and let her little life be as full and interesting as possible, instead of falling into the quagmire of hatred and ruining the lives of herself and the people she cares about in vain.

Thinking of this, she was in a much lighter mood, looked at the peach tree with a little bare branches, and said to Hongxue and Huichun with regret: "This peach tree is growing well, but unfortunately this season, the peach blossoms are all gone, if it is the right time, you can also smell the fragrance of the ten miles of peaches." ”
