Chapter Seventy-Four: Traveling to Beijing to Catch the Examination (2)

When he got over there, Zhou Fuxiang was really anxious to wait, and the little guys sent out were waiting outside the door to see through, and when he saw Qiao'er coming, he didn't care about saying more, so he pulled her straight to the second door, so that Danyang saw that he was laughing and scolding, and only said: "It's not a funeral, since Brother Qiao'er is here, why be in such a hurry, look at the placket of your clothes is going to be torn open." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Qiao'er hurriedly lowered her head when she heard this, Danyang smiled more and more, and was busy talking about playing. Because he was young, he was happy to know the rules and regulations, and his mouth was obedient every day, and his sister and sister screamed shortly, and they never messed up the etiquette, so they did not shy away from it, and personally took his hand, and said with a smile while walking: "Just because you told him before that the Qixi Festival has passed, people are sleepy and tired, and the house is stuffy, so you have to choose a good place to study." Our dumb demon king remembered it in his heart, you ran away yesterday and disappeared, and he thought about it for a long time. Early this morning, before the sun came out, he yelled for people to find a place to go, but Mingyue Xinghua stopped him, for fear of alarming his wife, or our back garden would be in trouble. ”

Qiao'er asked her to hold on, she didn't dare to slack off at her feet, and she was busy walking and said, "What is the uncle going to do in the back garden?" ”

Danyang smiled: "Who knows, if you come, you can ask him in person." ”

While talking, the two arrived outside the crystal curtain, and the room was noisy and intricate, as if there was a noise. Danyang was stunned, and hurriedly opened the curtain and took Qiao'er in, only to see books and booklets everywhere, with green skin and thin face, as if it had been laid out as a carpet. The maids stepped back and forth, and one moment she said that she had stepped on the book carefully, and the other she said that she was careful of the inkstone.

Qiao'er saw that in the clouds, she was busy standing at the head of the door, and said with Danyang and smiled: "What's wrong?" ”

Mingyue was the closest to the two of them, her forehead was dripping with sweat, thinking that she had been busy for a long time, she got up and carefully put the green and white jade water in her hand into the box with felt, handed it to Shuangxi and handed it over to the basket, only to smile and say: "Uncle said that he would clean up all the paintings he read and wrote in this house, and told him to move to a new place." ”

"New place?" Danyang snorted, "When will the new place be chosen, why don't I know?" ”

Mingyue said: "You don't know his temper yet, if you say the same, Brother Qiao mentioned it, but he remembered it well." The two of you came late this time, and my wife heard the noise, so she sent someone to ask her brother to come over for questioning. However, Sister Qingping, who came over, gave a sentence, saying that it was good to clean up early, seeing that it was July and a half, and it was going to catch up with autumn in August, and the province was busy at that time. ”

"Then you can't rush like this."

Danyang didn't feel funny, and suddenly saw a little girl holding a glass insert of a southern lacquer side painting and shaking out of the book, and her expression changed and she hurriedly said: "Put it there, you can't afford to pay for it if you fall carefully." ”

The little girl told her to bluff, almost frightened, and her apricot blossom eyes were sharp, and she grabbed her hand and hugged it, only to say that it was the blessing of the Buddha, and while resting in the box, she scolded Danyang with a smile: "Why bother, don't open your mouth if you don't do it, you almost bluffed her." ”

Danyang was also nervous, so he had to smile and roll up his sleeves to take a hand, and send the little girl away to clean up the books. Qiao'er covered her mouth and only chuckled there, and in a trance she remembered the Jiafu at that time, and had to say that the scenery was just right, but it was a pity that it was not the same as the old times.

After looking at it for a long time, the house was cleaned up, and the interested little girl came out early in the morning, fetched water and served the tea and waited for the Danyang Mingyue and the others to wash their hands and rest.

Mingyue saw that Qiao'er was still there, so she was busy blaming the little girl for not knowing how to be polite, so she ordered Qiao'er to go into the house and sit down for a while, and brought him tea and said: "Mrs. There must be a lot of things to tell my brother, so he is waiting for you in a hurry, so you can wait for him this time." ”

Qiao'er was familiar with everyone, so she sat down with a smile, only to watch the maids pull their sideburns and pick up their makeup. After waiting for a cup of tea, I heard that Zhou Fuxiang was back, and when I saw her, I was really happy, and hurriedly said: "I was looking for you, where did you go yesterday, I waited for a long time and didn't see you coming." ”

Qiao'er laughed and got up, just saying that she was with Ban'er, and forgot to go back to him when she was playing.

Zhou Fuxiang didn't care about it because he was bound by something else at the moment, and said with a smile: "Go and see, my mother said that she wanted us to move to the water pavilion to study." It was well ventilated and close to the water, so that people hung down their curtains, and even the sun could not reach us at noon. ”

Qiao'er said: "I just said it that day, you are too anxious, this house is protected from light on all sides, isn't it cooler than the water pavilion?" ”

Zhou Fuxiang said with a smile: "Don't say these hindsights, it's important to follow me seriously." As he spoke, he came over and pulled her up, Qiao'er wanted to break away, but when he saw that he was in a hurry, he was afraid that he would rush out if he used too much force, so he had no choice but to laugh bitterly, so he had to go with him.

When I saw it, I realized that it was really as Zhou Fuxiang said, it was a place to study. The name of the pavilion washes green, it is located on the west side of the first courtyard of the garden, the seat is west and east, the face is wide and 3 rooms, the depth is 3 rooms, the front is out of the hugging building, the three sides are out of the mountain type top, and the middle is the four corners of the sharp glazed treasure top. Behind the bright room, there is a black lacquered cloud dragon screen door, blocking the high wall behind the pavilion, and there is a sense of extending the garden to the west. On the north side, there is a verandah to connect into the Xuhui Garden, where Zhou Fuxiang lived in front of him.

Wash the green pavilion hug the ground in the building to chisel the stone for the canal, the twist of the mill folds, take the meaning of "the curved water flows", the canal water comes from the well that is hidden behind the rockery on the south side of the pavilion, draws water into the tank, flows into the canal through the culvert in the rockery.

The interior and exterior decoration of the pavilion are decorated with bamboo patterns, the front of the pavilion is built with the mountain stone stepping with the taste of the pavilion garden, Zhou Fuxiang stood on the mountain stone step with Qiao'er's hand, looked up at the pavilion, and said with a smile: "You see that this place is not a hundred times stronger than my house?" ”

Qiao'er smiled and nodded, and for a while, the maids went in and out to classify the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and the two of them were inconvenient to stand under the eaves, so they went to sit down in the hugging building. The maids saw the two of them come in, and hurriedly came in with two blue and white entwined lotus pattern cups, and served eight points full of Lu'an tea. Qiao'er saw that the cup was really peculiar, so she took it in her hand and played with it carefully, the cup was open, bent at the waist, sandy feet, and slippery bottom. The center is painted with a double lion rolling ball, and the six characters of the book 'Ming Yongle Year System' are as fine as grains of rice, which is a rare top grade. The blue and green outside the cup are deep and green, and the style is fine, so she smiled and said: "When did you get this cup, it's rare." ”

Zhou Fuxiang said: "This is still sent by my uncle's family earlier, because his cup is larger, my father thinks it is wasted for drinking tea, so he doesn't use it much, and now only the two of us are here, and it is easy to use it." ”

As she was talking, the house over there had been almost cleaned up, and Mingyue wanted to take someone to Mrs. Zhou to get the curtain, so she called Danyang in the house, and asked her to carefully record the things in the house and count them before moving, and Zhou Fuxiang supported the apricot blossoms and plum blossoms to take care of it. It was busy until the sun fell, and the inside and outside of the green pavilion were spotlessly cleaned.

Because it was the first day, Mrs. Zhou ordered Sydney to bring a message out, only saying that she didn't need to study in it first, and would pay tribute to the land lord there on a certain day. Zhou Fuxiang agreed, and chatted with Qiao'er for a long time, until two days later, he picked a good day and took everyone in the house to burn incense, and then moved in.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and thinking that there would be two more months when the green and yellow would meet, Master Zhou explained the matter of Ban'er and asked him to be in charge of the comprador sheep grass. In this way, Ban'er was busy every day, and gradually had no time to take care of his homework, so he delayed for a while. Although Qing'er went to Duxiu Villa, it was not as satisfactory as expected, first, she was still young and did not understand human feelings; Second, the flowers bloomed and the wealth of that day won the real luck, Miss Du had the heart to bully, three times and five times, the grievances were like a day, and it was also a loss to have Qiao'er behind her to hold on, and she secretly brought back the embroidered work, and left Qiao'er at night to make up for it, so it was a perfunctory errand.

On this day, Qiao'er went to Zhou's mansion alone, and after reading a few sentences with Zhou Fuxiang, the little guys passed the legend that Master Zhou asked Zhou Fuxiang to go over with her, and he had something to explain. She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, thinking that she had never met Master Zhou very much, but she didn't know what he had to explain to herself.

So he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went over with Zhou Fuxiang. Probably because it has been hot recently, and the Xianggong Qingke, who is usually inseparable from Master Zhou's left and right, has not seen anyone for more than two days, and I think they are going to enjoy the coolness. Master Zhou was also happy to be clean for two days, and when Zhou Fuxiang and Qiao'er went in, he was sitting on the official hat chair in Huali in his early four years to close his eyes and recuperate, and the two general corner servants behind him were also casually fanning him. Seeing them coming, a little servant whispered, "Master, Uncle Fu and Brother Qiao are here." ”

Master Zhou opened his eyes suddenly, asked the two of them to sit down with a smile, waved his hand and asked the little ones to go out and wait, and then asked them how their schoolwork was recently. Zhou Fuxiang replied on his behalf, and Master Zhou nodded carelessly, and said, "I haven't asked you about your homework because of my lack of health for days." I heard your mother say that you vacated the green washing pavilion for reading, according to me, you have nothing to do, if you really want to study, you can read it in the streets, why bother to be elegant? It's okay, you are young, and it is understandable that you can't bear the boredom, but now the countryside is about to try, but what are the plans? ”

Zhou Fuxiang said with a smile: "What my father taught me is that the child is not calm enough. In the past two days, I have read four books, and there are still a few chapters that have not yet been read, and as for the township test, it is inevitably early to plan now. ”

"It's not early." Master Zhou smiled and shook his head, and calculated for him, "The township exam is only held once every three years, and it is only in August, although you are only fifteen years old and are not in a hurry, but if you can take the exam once, you will be much calmer after three years." It is now the end of July, and it is only half a month before August 9, and excluding the time of going to Beijing, the rest is only seven or eight days. Even if seven or eight days are spent on studying, I am afraid that it will be a temporary cramming, and it will not yield much results. ”

Zhou Fuxiang said with a smile: "When my father said this, my son is ashamed. ”

Master Zhou smiled: "There is no need to be ashamed, our Zhou family can produce a talent, a great gift from God, I dare not ask for too much." I asked you to come for two things, one is your schoolwork, and the other is your rush to take the exam. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
