Volume 1, Chapter 34: Begonia Garden
As the princess's annex, the project was also extremely large at that time. The whole courtyard, the attic is staggered, and the flowers are splendid. Walking around the garden, a pool of water is more than an acre of size. The weeping willows next to the poolside, hanging down strips of green silk, dancing lightly in the breeze, indescribably charming.
Yue Yao said with a smile: "Uncle, this place is really picturesque and beautiful. ”
Ma Chengpeng said with a smile: "You have to think that your uncle's mansion is good." After that, I will come to stay for a few days every three forks. ”
When Yueyao heard this, she smiled brightly: "Okay." This way I can see this kind of beauty more often. "Because Yueyao hated the Cheng family before, she didn't think about coming to Ma's house often. But after seeing her uncle this time, she changed her mind. Uncle is the head of the Ma family, as long as her uncle is there, no one can bully her. Cheng Shiming must be good to her on the face, as for Ma Linlin, let him say a few words as a blowing. I've been so difficult in my previous life, and I'm afraid of a few rumors.
Yueyao decided that in the future, not to mention coming to stay for a few days every month, she would have to come and stay for a period of time at least every three or five months. As soon as she came out of Lianfu, she could breathe a sigh of relief; Second, after getting along with his uncle for a long time, his relationship will be deeper, and his uncle will protect him more in the future. Or get along with your eldest cousin, and there will be someone who loves her and stands out for her in the future.
Ma Chengteng smiled when he saw Yueyao like this. But soon the smile dissipated, I am afraid that this child has really suffered a lot of grievances in the Lian family. Otherwise it wouldn't be so.
Ma-one-Ben-Read-Small-Said-Cheng Teng actually shirked Yueyao three or four times before, and was unwilling to come to Mafu, and he didn't have any ideas in his heart. Although the mother-in-law who sent it said that Yueyao wanted to copy the scriptures and couldn't come, but in the end, his kindness was rejected, and he was definitely not very happy, and then Cheng Shi blew the wind next to him, and slowly, he didn't say that he wanted Yueyao to come over to live, but he sent someone to visit every once in a while. Now it seems that it should not be that Yueyao did not come, but that the people in the mansion did not do their best, and even the people in the mansion shirked it. In the end, he was negligent.
Yueyao walked to the door of Begonia Garden. As in the impression, the whitewashed walls and gray tiles, and the black lacquered Ruyi door. There are three small rooms, a small main hall, left and right wings, and the wings also have ear rooms.
Yue Yao walked into the yard with Ma Chengteng, and all the begonia flowers planted in the yard were begonia flowers, Xifu begonia flowers.
Yueyao knew that her mother liked begonia flowers the most. So when I was a girl, I planted a lot of Xifu begonias in the yard. Xifu begonia flower is accompanied by magnolia, peony and osmanthus to form "Yutang wealth". Yueyao knows that begonia flowers will have some fragrance when they first bloom. When the flowers are not opened, the buds are red and bright, like rouge, and after opening, they gradually turn pink, like the dawn of the sky.
Unfortunately, this is not the season for begonia flowers to bloom. If it is the blooming season, it is also good to come and enjoy the begonia flowers. Yueyao thought that she would come back next year when she was socializing in spring and summer, and then she would be able to see the scenery of begonia flowers in full bloom.
Yueyao was fascinated by the scenery, and Ma Chengteng also slowed down.
The group entered the house. The small hall has black lacquer floor-to-ceiling pillars, white stone paving, and a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva is hung on the wall facing the gate. The couplet on the left and right purple-black mud gold cloud dragon notes. Underneath is a long black nanmu case. A rose chair on the left and right.
Yue Yao entered the West Wing. The tables and chairs in the room are not luxurious nanmu. They are all made of green bamboo, and the display is very simple. On the left side of the wall is a large bookshelf filled with all kinds of books. There is a bookcase by the window, a small and elegant pen inkstone, incense box, and a small table and a few low stools on the other side, with a copper lamp and two tea cups.
Yue Yao was stunned, this, the layout here is completely different from the last time she came. What's wrong with this, how can it be completely different!
Ma Chengteng said with a smile: "Your mother likes elegant and simple layouts. I said it was too plain, but she had to do it. Although your mother is out of the cabinet, it has not changed here over the years. Just like your mother was when she was there. ”
Yue Yao had tears in her eyes. The reason why she didn't see her in her previous life should be because she came two years late.
Ma Chengteng led Yueyao to the backyard. There is a large empty apricot tree in the backyard. Ma Chengteng smiled and said, "This is all planted by your mother." Your mother's favorite thing is to eat apricot blossom cake. Every year in March and April, your mother will make apricot blossom cake. ”
Yue Yao raised her head, her eyes full of longing and expectation: "Uncle, when the apricot blossoms bloom next year, I want to come here to see the apricot blossoms." When the time comes, I will also make apricot blossom cakes. ”
Ma Chengteng saw the envy of his niece and children, so he naturally happily agreed: "When I wait for March next year, my uncle will take you to live in the mansion for two months." ”
Yueyao looked ecstatic: "Really? Uncle, is it really possible? ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, the smile on Yueyao's face became brighter and brighter. Generally speaking, nieces and uncles are next generation, and there is not so much to say. But Yueyao knew that if she wanted Ma Chengteng to love her twice more and remember her, she should deepen her relationship with her uncle. As long as you think about it, there will naturally be a topic.
Ma Chengteng, as a child of a family, has learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and as a literati, they all have the same hobby, and they like elegant things very much. Moreover, he has a good reputation among celebrities.
Ma Chengteng is actually very lonely in the mansion. The step-family Cheng doesn't say anything about this, it can be said that he doesn't know anything. The eldest son is too wooden, and all the time spent in the imperial examination is barely enough, where is there time to learn this. The second son is smart, but his mind is on fun, he doesn't teach him any matter how he does, and he has to come to the family law every few days. made him exhausted, not to mention his daughter, and hated piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Now seeing Yueyao's young age, her understanding is so good. Wouldn't you be happy in your heart, and talk about sexuality?
Although Yue Yao's attainments in this area are not top-notch, she has studied for so many years, and she is barely a second-rate. I can talk a few words about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially calligraphy and painting, and I still have a lot of right to speak. What Ma Chengteng said, she could go on.
The more Ma Chengteng and Yue Yao chatted, the more amazed they became. He had always heard that Yue Yao had a talent for painting before, but he didn't expect this kid to be so good at writing and touching other things. At such a young age, Ma Chengteng is really happy to know so much.
At the end of the conversation, Ma Chengteng couldn't help but say to Yueyao: "Yao'er, how about you draw a picture for your uncle?" "I've always heard that my niece is very talented in painting, and Ma Chengteng has never seen it. Now that I have talked with Yueyao for a while, I am very interested.
Yueyao was a little embarrassed.
Ma Chengteng said with a smile: "It's just a few random strokes for my uncle, not for you to make a complete painting." ”
Yue Yao nodded.
