Chapter 164: Jingning Houfu (II)
Near the lake water pavilion, the breeze is warm, the red fence and the green board, the winding corridor swirl, the green trees and flowers, the scenery is very luxurious, especially the flowers and colors planted against the fence are extremely rare and precious varieties, the pair of jasper mandarin ducks and red-crowned white cranes in the lake are more rare; There are also rockery stone carvings along the way, and the objects placed in the pavilions are not ordinary at first glance.
It's a waste not to appreciate such a beautiful scenery too much, Yueyao enjoyed the beautiful scenery while walking, and even smiled when she saw that she liked it.
Hao's mother knew that her master's strange problem had come up again, and reminded in a low voice: "Girl, the lady of the Jingning Marquis Mansion is still waiting for the girl!" "If the girl is allowed to watch, she will not reach her destination for lunch.
Yue Yao didn't notice the look of the person next to her, and only came back to her senses when she heard Hao's mother's reminder, and said to the woman next to her with a smile: "The scenery of the mansion is so beautiful, I am fascinated by it." ”
The woman was surprised when she heard Yueyao's words, but her expression did not show it at all, but she said respectfully: "Miss Xie's appreciation." "Jingning Houfu took a lot of people to the mansion during this time, and these girls came to the Hou Mansion for the first time, and some of them were directly stunned by the wealth of the Hou Mansion, and the look of amazement on their faces was as if they were borrowed from a countryman; There are also those who pretend to be indifferent but turn around, but there is no one like Yueyao who slowly enjoys the scenery along the road. She walked for more than two quarters of an hour, and she didn't feel embarrassed, and when she entered the courtyard, the corridor was full of delicate flowers.
Yueyao was led into the small living room by the servant, and the layout of the small living room was relatively simple. Of course, this simplicity is relative to the luxury they saw along the way.
Yueyao took Hao's mother and Drizzle to the yard, but the mother-in-law who followed did not come in. A mother-in-law said to the servant woman just now: "Mother Chen, you are too polite to her. He also said that he had seen prosperity in Jiangnan, but he was not a shallow eyelid. "Yueyao's behavior just now fell in the eyes of people with a heart, so she naturally felt that it was not good-looking. Moreover, Yueyao's outfit today is not peculiar, and she only brings a simple set of jade ornaments.
Mother Chen smiled and shook her head: "Do you know how much this girl's jewelry is worth?" It's not less than 10,000 gold, and it's a good jade that you can't buy with money. "The set of jade jewelry that Yueyao wore this time is made of a whole piece of rare mutton fat white jade, which is very rare, and it can be regarded as a set of jewelry at the bottom of the Ma's pressure box. Yueyao didn't want to fall behind today, so she deliberately wore this set of jewelry.
The mother-in-law who said cool things just now was startled, but she didn't expect this maid to hide it deeply. She thought it was another broken settlement!
Ping's brought this Luo Mingzhu over. Ping's today wore a flower peach cloud satin skirt with a hundred golden butterflies, and a five-petal plum blossom gem was obliquely inserted into the bun, and he did not wear luxurious clothes and jewelry, but the luxury of the whole body did not diminish at all.
Luo Mingzhu is wearing a lilac Luo skirt today, and the skirt is embroidered with large begonia flowers; The flowers and leaves are not complicated, but they are lifelike, the stitches are careful, the embroidery thread is shining with silk, the dress is covered to the feet, and the skirt is clearly embroidered with gold edges, which is very luxurious.
Yueyao is wearing this Ruyi pattern cardigan summer shirt today, with twelve moonflower skirts sprinkled with gold in light blue; He combed his head with a weeping bun, wore delicate and unique beaded flowers, pinned mutton fat jade hairpins between the buns, and pinned the corners of the buns with these small beaded flowers decorated with this precious pearl. There is a pair of luster jade pendants on his ears, a piece of mutton fat jade pendant hanging around his neck, and an agarwood bracelet on his wrist. Yue Yao's outfit is in stark contrast to the gorgeous and gorgeous Luo Mingzhu.
Luo Mingzhu glanced at Yue Yao up and down, but she didn't say anything, she had just been admonished by her sister-in-law, and she didn't dare to speak disrespectfully for the time being.
Ping's was relieved to see that her sister-in-law didn't show sarcasm, she still didn't pick a satisfactory one after selecting for more than half a year. She really hopes that Yueyao can get into her sister-in-law's eyes.
Luo Mingzhu didn't wait for Ping's to speak, and said directly: "Sister-in-law, you have been busy recently, or let Miss Lian go to my yard!" "If you want to be her companion, you have to see if it's qualified.
Ping was a little hesitant, but looking at Yue Yao's calm and tranquil appearance, he nodded and said, "It's okay, you are the same age, you have something to say." Mingzhu, even the girl is a guest at the house, you have to entertain people well. There are reminders and warnings.
Luo Mingzhu pouted and said, "Got it." ”
After the maid and the others beside the Ping family walked away, they whispered: "Madam, will even the girl in the family be taken away by the third girl?" "The few candidates selected before were finally taken away by the three girls, which made their masters have a headache.
Luo Mingzhu is very aura, with a bunch of maids and women, and deliberately does not talk to Yueyao in the middle, Mingzhu's attitude shows that the people around him naturally dare not disobey the master's will.
Luo Mingzhu deliberately led people to the pavilion to rest, and did not ask Yueyao to enter the pavilion and sit down. She drank water in the pavilion by herself, talking to the maids around her, but she just ignored Yueyao.
Yueyao didn't put Mingzhu's little trick in her heart, just so she could slowly look at the beautiful scenery. The scenery in the Hou Mansion is like a large garden containing countless small gardens, each of which is beautiful, but it is different, each has its own characteristics, and even the railings of the small bridges under the corridors and rockeries are placed on the bonsai, these bonsai are small or clumsy or weird.
Luo Mingzhu saw that Yueyao was not slacking off at all, and felt a little annoyed. He threw his cup and stood up and hurried back to his yard.
Luo Mingzhu walked very fast this time, and when she looked back, her mother-in-law and maids were all walking quickly behind, but Yueyao followed her and walked unhurriedly.
Luo Mingzhu remembered that Yueyao had practiced martial arts, and snorted coldly.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, I finally arrived.
Yue Yao saw the plaque on the top of the courtyard, which read "Ming Yue Xuan". These three words are calm and introverted, bordered by red ink and gold lacquer, and the nobility is obvious.
Yue Yao didn't need to guess to know the meaning of this plaque, and secretly shook her head in her heart, she really reached the state of enchantment, the more this happened, the more annoying it became. Men are cheap, if you are cold and indifferent, they will be very attentive, and even coax them like baby bumps; But if women are too proactive, they will get bored. If it's too easy to get, they won't like it, so Luo Mingzhu's solution is destined to be sad.
Luo Mingzhu entered the courtyard, and Yueyao followed in. As soon as I entered the yard, I was stunned for a moment, the yard was full of flowers, this is not the main courtyard, the main courtyard is the flowers, here are full of flowers, so that Yueyao You has a feeling of walking to the garden.
Yue Yao couldn't help but smile and entered the main hall, where there was a delicately made red felt carpet on the ground, six carved mahogany chairs were placed on each side of the felt carpet, and a white incense burner was placed on the case bar facing the door, but the incense burner was not burning incense at this time.
Luo Mingzhu entered the house directly, and a thick crystal curtain hung on the door made a crisp sound because of Luo Mingzhu's flicking just now.
At this time, Bai Yi walked in from the outside and said with a smile: "Girl, please come in." The crystal curtain was lifted and Yue Yao was invited into the room.
The first thing that caught Yue Yao's eye when she walked in was the huge carved peony shelf bed, on which was hung with golden curtains, and the curtains were hooked by gold hooks on both sides, revealing the dark red forged brocade quilt inside. Yueyao noticed that the brocade quilt was embroidered with golden peonies. Needless to say, Yueyao knew that Mingzhu liked peonies.
There is a set of rosewood dressing cabinets next to the bed, a chest of drawers carved with flowers and plants at the east end of the bed, a large wardrobe carved with birds on the wall, and a large rosewood box inlaid with precious stones below; At the west end of the bed, there is a four screens of the four gentlemen of the four gentlemen of the black gold wood carving, Meilan, bamboo chrysanthemum, and on the other side of the screen, toilet, bathtub and other toiletries.
The furnishings of the house are extremely luxurious.
Luo Mingzhu saw that Yueyao just swept the furnishings in her room, and there was no shock or exclamation on her face, as if her furnishings were extremely ordinary. Mingzhu remembered that the few people she brought over last time had straight eyes, and Yueyao's performance made her feel interesting.
Mingzhu is used to being arrogant, although Bai Yi said that she was good, but she was unhappy when she thought about Yueyao's attitude towards her last time, Mingzhu stabbed Yueyao: "Didn't you say last time that you didn't want to be my companion, why are you here now?" ”
Yueyao said with a pale face: "You invited me to come over as a guest in the next post, but you didn't mean to let me come over to read to you as a companion." ”
Luo Mingzhu was just about to open her mouth, Bai Yi glanced at her, and Luo Mingzhu muttered a very reluctant look. Bai Yi said to Yueyao: "Even girl, please take a seat." ”
Yueyao sat down, and the people below brought fruit pastries and, of course, a glass of boiled water. Yue Yao looked at the jade cup filled with water, and the fruit was a crystal fruit bowl, and she had to sigh in her heart, Jingning Houfu is really very rich, just one thing, it is enough for ordinary people to live for many years.
Yueyao looked at the lychees in the crystal plate, the lychees were not on the market for the time being, and Yueyao couldn't eat them even if she had money.
Yue Yao didn't have any restraint, let alone trembling, she took a lychee directly from the plate and peeled it carefully, looking at the crystal white and tender meat, Yue Yao put it in her mouth and said, "Well, it's very sweet, and the taste is very positive." ”
Bai Yi looked at Yue Yao's appearance and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Bai Yi has been by Yueyao's side for more than two months, and she knows that with Yueyao's ability, she will definitely be able to convince her girl. The key is whether Yueyao is willing or not. She was worried that Yueyao would be resistant to her girl, so she was reluctant to contact her. Yueyao's performance now reassured her.
Luo Mingzhu also felt very interesting when she looked at Yueyao's performance, there were more than ten people who had come before, either she was afraid to shrink her family, or she pretended to be serious but had a stomach in her heart, she was bored when she saw it. But this girl who made her unhappy met her eyes.
Yueyao ate three lychees, and Mingzhu pursed her lips when she saw her eating so sweetly.
Zhiqin, the maid beside Luo Mingzhu, saw the appearance of her master, and hurriedly took a lychee and peeled it for her to eat. Luo Mingzhu chewed it carefully, and the taste seemed to be better than yesterday.
