Chapter 72 Pool or Bath?
The weather gradually warmed up, and Daiyu really stopped leaving the house after that trip to Xuantomb Mountain. Every day, I either follow Mama Yang to learn the rules, or I follow Aunt Luo to learn needlework and embroidery. The craftsmanship is becoming more and more skillful, and it has become more and more beautiful.
Mama Yang looked at Daiyu and became more and more satisfied, but Aunt Luo was anxious in recent months. Huang Jiyun didn't know if he had an enmity with himself, seeing that Daiyu's embroidery was becoming more and more delicate, and the use of needles was becoming more and more proficient, Huang Jiyun added homework to Daiyu, which made Daiyu share a lot of thoughts.
Originally, Huang Jiyun was a little disappointed in Daiyu, couplets, poems, and songs, but Daiyu didn't make any progress. I used to think that my chess skills were very spiritual, but now it seems to be mediocre.
But by chance, Huang Jiyun found that Daiyu was very talented in painting, and after more than a year of careful teaching, Daiyu's progress was amazing. Daiyu's flowers and plants are blooming, failing, blooming, or withering, and they all have spirituality, which is very expressive.
People often say that calligraphy and painting are not separated, but Daiyu's handwriting, although it has been similar for a few years, has lost its style and bones, and it has added a failure to the painting. Nowadays, many of Daiyu's paintings are either ghostwritten by Huang Jiyun, but most of them are blank without inscriptions. Huang Jiyun was determined to practice Daiyu's words.
Daiyu is also very interested, of course, mainly the paintings inscribed by Huang Jiyun, which do look more charming, and Daiyu also wants to inscribe herself. On the New Year's Day last year, Daiyu sandwiched a pair of "Hanmei Aoxue Tu" with Huang Jiyun's help inscription in the New Year's gift to Wanyu.
Wanyu wrote back and said that she liked it very much, and Daiyu was also very happy. But how many Daiyu have regrets in their hearts. If the word was mentioned by himself, it would be better to think that it would not be said to be borrowed from Huang Jiyun's light. So he also made up his mind to practice calligraphy well.
This time, the previous plan to make all the paintings into embroidery had to be put on hold for the time being. Aunt Luo was naturally a little dissatisfied, and wanted to find Huang Jiyun to coordinate Daiyu's study time.
Aunt Luo didn't want to look for Huang Jiyun twice, not only was there no result, but Huang Jiyun also looked at Aunt Luo with disdain and said, "That's just a small skill, and it will be difficult to get into the hall of elegance in the end." It's just that you don't want to learn! "When Huang Jiyun thought that Daiyu was so talented, how could he waste it on the needle girl red? But it made Aunt Luo angry.
In this way, the two of them kept arguing, and this kind of argument lasted until the Dragon Boat Festival, and Aunt Luo never had the upper hand once. Mama Yang shook her head from the side. Daiyu's life has not changed in the slightest.
Every day, Daiyu still gets up early to practice calligraphy for half an hour. Then I followed Mama Yang to learn the rules for half a day, took a break after lunch, and went to the garden to practice painting for two hours in the afternoon, and then went to Aunt Luo's needlework to do needlework.
But now this "rule" is not just a rule. There were also a number of things that should have been taught by my mother. For example: Hexiang. Lin Mansion has been heirloom for a hundred years, and all kinds of incense recipes have naturally accumulated a lot. But Jia Min didn't have time to teach Daiyu and went.
Mama Yang doesn't know much herself. After teaching Daiyu two kinds, Daiyu felt very interested, so she rummaged through the various recipes in the house. Daiyu is not stingy either. So he shared these recipes with Mama Yang, and Mama Yang taught Daiyu even more attentively.
But after a long time like this, the active factor in Daiyu's soul began to become more and more active, and Huang Jiyun occasionally took her out to play, but now she stays in the house every day.
Seeing that it was the Dragon Boat Festival, Daiyu was wearing a plain white fine cotton deep coat, but there was only a small belly pocket tied inside, and she also felt hot and panicked. This is still her quietly taking off her inner middle coat despite Jin'er's objections.
I don't know if it's getting better and better, or what, I didn't feel so hot in previous years. On this day, Daiyu stood in the Dilu Xuan and painted a pool full of delicate lotus flowers, and had the idea of swimming in the water, but Daiyu knew that if she said it, she was afraid that she would be scared to death, so she could only think about it herself.
Even though Di Lu Xuan had already placed the basin, Daiyu was still panicked, and couldn't help but say to Jin'er: "Where is this Di Lu Xuan, it should be renamed Di Han Xuan!" One sentence amused Jin'er and the others. But Daiyu couldn't laugh, she really felt too hot, especially when she saw that Jin'er and the others were still wearing two or three layers.
This matter did not bother Daiyu for a long time, and Daiyu thought of a way when she bathed at night. Early the next morning, Daiyu called the old housekeeper Lin Yi. Lin Yi didn't know what Daiyu was looking for him, and if he had something to explain, he would let his daughter-in-law tell him, but he only looked for him once last time.
Lin Yi was worried that something big would happen, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly ran to see Daiyu. Daiyu sat on the couch in the flower hall, seeing the old housekeeper coming, if it weren't for the aristocratic education over the years, according to her original temperament, she was afraid that she would have to go over and pull the old housekeeper with a smirk.
At this time, Daiyu just smiled gently: "Jin'er asks Lin Bo to sit down and talk." "That elegance and calmness, if it weren't for Jin'er **** following her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have guessed her anxious and naughty.
After seeing Lin Yi sit down, Dai Yu said softly: "I see that Fanghui Courtyard has been empty, I don't know what it was originally doing, and what are the arrangements?" Lin Yi thought about it carefully before saying: "I'm afraid that the courtyard has been empty for twenty or thirty years, and there was originally a cousin who lived there, but then it has been empty." After speaking, he looked at Daiyu puzzled.
Lin Yi didn't expect Daiyu Tete to come to him, and he actually asked about an empty courtyard. As soon as he finished speaking, Daiyu said: "That's good, go back and find someone to tear down all the houses in the courtyard and dig a big pool." ”
After Daiyu finished speaking, she didn't look at Lin Yi's surprised expression, picked up the tea and took a sip. He turned his head to Jin'er and said, "This tea is good, give Lin Bo a cup too." Go back and taste it too. ”
But how could Lin Yi have the heart to drink tea at this time? My heart is full of why the girl wants to demolish the house! Daiyu didn't let him wait long, and only took a sip and put down the teacup. It seemed that he had just seen the surprise on Lin Yi's face.
Daiyu said with a smile: "At that time, Lin Bo will build a drainage outlet for the big pool, otherwise the living water in the pool will also become stagnant." Then build a large room on top of the pool. Daiyu thought to herself, this is an indoor swimming pool. She had been to the courtyard, although it was a little more off-track, close to the outer road to the west. The area is not small.
Lin Yi has seen a lot of things in the past few decades, and when he heard Daiyu say it, he smiled and said: "It turns out that the girl wants to build a bath, and this bath must be brought in by the hot spring water on the mountain." And he cut the courtyard in the middle, and built a pool on the left and right sides, and the same source of water was there. Daiyu was stunned when she heard it, wasn't she? Is there any swimming pool in this era?
Daiyu thought that if she could really attract a hot spring, I would recognize the bath! Thinking that if Lin Ruhai came back in the future, it would be good to have hot spring water bubbles, so he smiled and said, "Lin Bo is still thoughtful." Then there was a partition between the left and right sides. On the right, dig an extra pond alone, as big as possible, and bring in mountain spring water. ”
Lin Yi didn't understand why Daiyu was obsessed with size, how big could this bath pool be? Besides, where is there a mountain spring bath? Boiling tea is pretty much the same. But I haven't seen anyone who uses a pool to make tea and store mountain spring water.
Daiyu saw that Lin Yi looked like he wanted to speak and stopped. Then he asked, "What good advice does Limber have?" Lin Yi then told Daiyu what Fang Cai thought in detail. As soon as Daiyu heard this, she knew that Lin Yi had misunderstood, and hurriedly said: "I look at it this way, go back and ask Aunt Lin to bring the pattern to Uncle Lin." And then it was built as it came out of nowhere. ”
Daiyu was afraid for a while in her heart, if her swimming pool was built according to Lin Bo's understanding, then it could only be used as a bathing pool! So he said. But Lin Yi doesn't understand, what other pattern does this bath need?
So Lin Yi smiled and said: "Where do you need any patterns in the bath, the girl will hand it over to me, and it will be built for you soon, you wait and see." With that, he got up and prepared to take his leave. Daiyu was immediately anxious, if she really wanted him to leave, wouldn't my pool really become a bath?
Daiyu smiled unhurriedly on her face: "It's not too late for Lin Bo to take a look at the construction under construction, it's just a little idea of mine." When Lin Yi heard this, he didn't think much about it, so he replied: "That's okay!" The old slave waited for the girl's drawing, and the one built for the girl was exactly the same. After saying that, he smiled and left.
Daiyu fell into deep thought for a while, is there any mountain spring and hot spring near this Gusu? I really didn't pay attention to it in my previous life! After thinking about it for a while, I didn't come up with it, so I couldn't help but ask Jin'er, "Do we have any hot springs near here?" Why haven't you heard of it? ”
After hearing this, Jin'er thought about it and shook her head and said, "Why don't you ask Mr. Huang, Mr. has traveled extensively, maybe he knows." We're just locked up in this house, where do we know what's going on outside? Daiyu also nodded after hearing this, and then uncovered it and stopped mentioning it.
Back in the house, Daiyu recalled the major swimming pools she had been to in her previous life, and she felt the same. If you talk about hot spring pools, then Huaqing Pool has some taste. Especially the rivers and mountains that Qin Shi Huang washed. But where can I find so many jade stones to spread the pool? After thinking about it, Daiyu began to design her own pool.
Since Lin Yi thinks that it is a bath, it cannot be built according to the appearance of a standard swimming pool in the previous life, otherwise I don't know how many problems it will cause. After an afternoon's hard work, two courtyards consisting of three stone houses of different sizes were brought to life.
Originally, the courtyard wall on the east side of Fanghui Yuan was also demolished, and a separate courtyard was extended next to it, which was planted with camphor trees, and a stone house stood in the middle of the tall camphor forest. In front of the stone house, a cobblestone path connects to the courtyard gate, and another cobblestone road connects to a small wooden door. The hot spring water flows around the stone house to the original Yoshihan-in.
All the flowers and plants in Fanghui Courtyard have been transplanted, and trees such as red maple, ginkgo biloba, and magnolia have been replanted. Two stone houses of different sizes were built in the forest, and the stone houses had two large windows in the front and back. It is arranged in a zigzag with the stone houses on the other side, and the hot spring water flows around the house into the lotus pond and then discharges out.
The two stone houses are still connected by cobblestone paving, and there is a slightly smaller hot spring pool outside. Inside is a mountain spring pond that is larger than the two hot spring pools combined. The three pools are surrounded by Taihu stones, with rounded and smooth pebbles at the bottom. On the surrounding Taihu Lake stones, some shade-tolerant and water-loving flowers and plants are also planted.
When Lin Yi got the stack of patterns, he was a little dumbfounded, didn't he say to build a bath? How did it become like this? It is good-looking, especially in the season when the maple red ginkgo is floating, and the magnolia in spring is also extremely beautiful. There is also the camphor forest in the heat of the hot spring water, which is even more quiet and distant, like a fairyland. So Lin Yi was also full of excitement and novelty and began to paint the scoop in the same way. (To be continued.) )
