Chapter 18: The Butterfly Garden (1)
"Tilt, everything listens to your father. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lin Tian said, burying his head in his arms. Mu Yufei was very surprised when he saw Lin Tian's shy appearance, and he stopped talking. When Father Lin saw this, he laughed.
Outside the door, the housekeeper came in and reported, "Master, eldest lady, Qindie Garden has been cleaned." Father Lin nodded: "Let's go and see your garden!" So Lin poured out of the study and followed the housekeeper to Qindie Garden.
The location of the Qindie Garden was originally the back garden before the expansion of the forest house, and after the expansion of the forest house, a new garden was made, and the Liu family built the Qindie Garden here. Therefore, the Qin Butterfly Garden is actually built in the garden, and the scenery can be said to be the best one in the garden of the entire forest house.
The eaves of the Qindie Garden are all paved with glazed bricks, which is very eye-catching from a distance. The entrance to the garden is a circular moon gate with a stone painting on the door. The stone painting takes the colorful butterfly flying as the background, and the book "Qin Butterfly Garden" is written.
When you enter the garden, you will see a large garden. The courtyard is equipped with a hand-copying verandah, the verandah is also covered with glass, and the lotus flower is also carved on the railing, so it is named the lotus corridor. There is a hexagonal single-eaves pavilion in the courtyard, which is called "Hundred Flowers Pavilion".
Some peach trees are planted around the hall, and many flowers of different varieties are planted around the peach trees. Now the moon flowers and hollyhocks in the courtyard are blooming just right. The green leaves and red flowers are very beautiful.
Behind the garden is a row of houses. There are three main rooms and four transept rooms. At the entrance to the main house, there is a carved screen with hollow outwork. Entering the house, there are six pictures of hairpin ladies of different shapes hanging on the wall of the living room. There is a table under the painting, on which is an incense burner, and vases are placed on both sides.
In front of the table is a table of four immortals, with two armchairs on each side of the table. On either side of the center of the living room, six pairs of coffee tables and chairs are placed. Four richly decorated palace lamps are hung on the beams of the house for easy illumination at night.
The bedroom to the left of the main house is the bedroom, which is separated by a carved wooden wall and a large rotating mirror as the entrance. Entering the bedroom, directly behind the screen facing the door, there is a pull-out bed. The outside is covered with a soft red veil, and from a distance it looks as if it is shrouded in smoke.
Not far from the bed was the dresser, and a little further past there was a screen embroidered with hibiscus. Behind the screen, there is also a soft couch. After looking at the bedroom, Lin Tian came to the small study on the right.
In the center of the study is a desk with pens, ink, paper and inkstones. The study has a window facing the wall of the desk to let in light. The bookshelf was placed against the wall in front of the desk, and on it were some embroidered pictures, piano scores, and the like.
Open a lacquer box with a stroke on the shelf, and inside it is a variety of embroidery threads, embroidery cloths, embroidery sheds, etc. Going out to the small study, a maid entered the door and said, "Miss, the bath water is ready, please move to the bathhouse." ”
Lin Tian nodded, and followed the maid to the three ear rooms on the right side of the main room. These three transepts are the bathhouses in the Qin Butterfly Garden, and a row of hollow skylights are obliquely opened on the top of the augmentation walls to dissipate water vapor.
In the middle is the changing room, on the left is the bathhouse, and on the right is where the water is boiled. The maid stripped Lin Tian of his clothes in the dressing room, then pulled up Lin Tian's hair, and finally put a thin veil on Lin Tian.
When I walked into the bathhouse, I saw two copper pots and a large clay pot on the ground in the middle. The clay pot was already filled with reddish-brown hot water, and the light smoke emitted a pleasant smell of roses.
The maid put a small table with a hollow sitting surface in the basin, and then motioned for Lin to sit on the stool. There is also a table not far from the tub, which should be some bath supplies.
Sitting on the stool, the maid kept pouring hot water on Lin Tian. After warming Lin Tian's body, the maid took a ball-shaped soap from the table and rubbed it on Lin Tian's face and body.
After wiping the soap, the maid took out a jade butterfly and gently scraped it on Lin Tian's face. After shaving her face, the maid changed to a larger slate and continued to shave Lin Tian's body. After washing for more than a quarter of an hour, Lin Tian felt that it was almost over, so he stood up.
The maid put down the wooden spoon, took a towel from the table and wiped it for Lin Tian, and after wiping it, she changed it to wipe her body. After drying her body, the maid put a straw mat on the edge of the basin, and Lin Qian stood up knowingly. Then the maid brought another basin of hot water and washed Lin Tian again.
It wasn't until the hot water was flushed that the maid took out clean clothes and shoes for Lin Tian to change into. Lin Tian walked out of the bathhouse with his clothes on, sat down on the couch in the dressing room, and drank the hot tea brought by the maid.
After resting for a while, a maid was combing her hair. The other is tidying up the bathhouse and the room. The room where the water is boiled can also be used as a small kitchen, which greatly facilitates Lin Tian to open a small stove in the future.
A maid came in from outside the door, holding a tray in her hand: "The second lady said that the eldest lady's clothes have to be measured and then made separately, and now the eldest lady is wronged to wear the clothes of the fourth lady first, but this dress is also new, and the second lady hopes that the eldest lady will not mind." ”
Lin Tian nodded, picked up the shoes on his clothes and looked at them, it was estimated that they were prepared for Lin Yun's birthday. The maid handed the tray to the maid and left directly, as if she was giving Lin a face.
The maid changed Lin Tian's clothes, and then brought a large bronze mirror. Although he is two years older than Lin Yun, his body is not as plump as the thirteen-year-old Lin Yun. However, although Lin Yun's clothes are a little wide on his body, they are also a little short.
Although Lin is thin, he still has a height. The shoes fit just right, and the insoles are soft and comfortable. Looking at himself in the mirror, a new dress and new shoes seem to indicate that Lin Tian's new life has just begun.
And now the clothes on his body, including this garden, although they are all Lin Yun's, but in fact, Lin Yun is a concubine and has no identity to have these. In the final analysis, these things should only be owned by Lin Tian.
But it was stolen by Lin Yun and became hers. Touching his thin face, Lin Tian swore again: Lin Tian's things, he will find a way to get them back in the same way!
Night fell quietly, and a duet sounded in my ears. Although living in the garden is beautiful, there are actually many mosquitoes and noisy. lifted the curtain and entered the main room, and the maid was lighting the palace lamp in the living room. As soon as the candlelight came out, the room was dim.
The maid lit the lamp and went to the door to guard, and Lin Tian wandered around the room alone. Look everywhere is fresh, touch here and turn over there. Unexpectedly, some dark grids were turned out. It's just that it can't be opened.
As the night deepened, Lin Tian felt a little sleepy, so he came to the bedroom to rest. In a daze, I smelled the unique fragrance of Bing Jingcheng. Lin Tian opened his eyes, and Bing Jingcheng was sitting beside him.
Lin Tian sat up: "How did you get in, it wouldn't be good if you were discovered." Bing Jingcheng pinched Lin Tian's chin and kissed Lin Tian: "Don't worry, no one will find out." ”
Lin leaned into Bing Jingcheng's arms and talked about what happened today. Chatting and chatting, Lin Tian became sleepy again, lying in Bing Jingcheng's arms and squinting. Suddenly, there was a noise in the study, which woke Lin Tian.
Lin Qian looked up at Bing Jingcheng, and the two of them listened with bated breath. A small footstep drew closer, and then a figure was reflected on the screen, as if holding a machete.
Qin Dieyuan had not been inhabited before, and he was temporarily arranged to live in the afternoon, so it seems that this man in black came for him. And now the person who wants his own life knows who it is without guessing.
The man in black had already come to the bed, and Lin Tian whispered, "Don't kill him!" Bing Jingcheng kicked hard, and the man in black retreated for a while, falling to the screen in front of the study. The man in black couldn't get up for a while, and the movement in the house attracted the maid's attention.
"I'll go out, you hide it." Lin Tian ran to the door, and the maid just opened the door. Lin Tian shouted as he opened the door: "Catch the thief!" Catch the thief! The man in black struggled to his feet and slashed at Lin Tian.
When the maid guarding the door saw it, she hurriedly pulled Lin Tian out of the door, and Lin Tian narrowly avoided the machete. At this time, the family members who were keeping vigil in the forest house had already been alarmed, and the man in black saw that the assassination had failed, so he immediately fled over the wall.
Lin Tian looked at the direction of the man in black, and his heart was beating wildly. Although it wasn't cut, I really felt the approach of the blade in my back. Fortunately, there was a maid to pull it just now, otherwise it was very likely that he would be cut.
The lights in the Qindie Garden were bright, and the family members of the forest house also carried lanterns to catch thieves in the forest house. Father Lin was still working in the study at this time, and when he heard that there was a thief in Qindie Garden, he hurried over to take a look.
