Chapter Twenty-Six: Yunxiu
The next morning, Jin Yi and Jin Rulai bid farewell to Mrs. Qin.
Xu Shi stood aside, with a little unhappy on his face, he had just come back for a few days, and he was going to go over to stay. There are some worries in her heart, but now not only the two people in the Marquis of Changfeng Mansion defend her, but even the old lady also has a faint meaning of not wanting Jinyi to enter the palace as an official.
When Jin Yi asked her to say goodbye, she made a little stern face, "Sister Yi'er has only been back for a few days, and she is going to live in the house over there, so I'm afraid it's not good for people to listen to it." ”
Jin Yi only appeased Old Madam Qin last night, and she didn't want to give Xu Shi a smile today, so she just kept silent.
Mrs. Qin helped her speak on the side, "Sister Yi wants to embroider the Buddha picture, but now our house is busy with the festival, and it is not quiet." It's embroidered over there, and then it won't delay the Yishantang fundraising, and it will be announced next year, and our sister will take the top spot in the donation list, and we will also have a light on our faces. ”
Xu Shi had to smile when he heard this: "It's not." Or the ancestors thought it through. ”
At one moment, Jinxuan came over, greeted Mrs. Qin, and said with a smile: "I'll pick up Ru'er and Sister Jinyi." ”
Old Madam Qin responded with a smile, and told him to take care of the two of them, don't always go outside, talk a lot, and then let the three of them out.
When I arrived on the porch, I met Xie Shi with two maids.
Jin Yi stood aside with her and said in a low voice: "I was too busy yesterday, I have written the new recipe overnight, and I thought that I would send someone to you later." As he spoke, he motioned to Qiao Wei to hand the recipe to Xie, and said, "This medicine will be taken tomorrow, and it needs to be taken after meals, and there are some taboos that need to be avoided, I have written it on it." Brother Chen'er's situation, you send someone to come and talk to me every day. If there's anything wrong, you can always go to the house over there to find me. ”
Xie Shi responded again and again and took the prescription.
turned his head, but saw Jinxiu walking from behind with Shixia and Qiqiu, and saw the two talking quietly, Jinxiu's eyes were inquiring.
Jin Yi frowned imperceptibly, a smile appeared on her lips, and she greeted: "Third sister." ”
Jinxiu raised her head slightly, staring at her slightly, "I heard that the second sister is going to live in the Changfeng Marquis Mansion, and the Chinese New Year is approaching, and I haven't had a chance to say something considerate to my sister yet...... and then asked Xie Shi: "What is the fourth uncle talking to my sister?" Tell Xiu'er about it too. ”
Xie Shi was a little overwhelmed, squeaky and speechless.
Jin Yi said "oh" very casually, "The fourth uncle and aunt recently said that they couldn't sleep well at night, I remembered that I had seen a calming recipe in Shangxiutang, and I gave it to my uncle and aunt to try." ”
When Jinxiu heard this, she didn't ask any more questions, only bowed slightly to her, and turned around and entered the hall with the maids.
Xie Shi was still a little uneasy, Jin Yi smiled lightly, comforted her, and said, "It's okay." The fourth aunt will go in first. I'm leaving. ”
After that, he said goodbye to her, followed Jinxuan Jinru all the way out, took the carriage of the Changfeng Marquis Mansion, and went out of the mansion.
The two mansions of the Qin family were originally on the same street, and the carriage came out and walked without a cup of tea, and then entered the gate of the Changfeng Marquis Mansion.
Jin Xuan is now the Hou Ye, and he can go in and out from the gate, unlike Jin Yi and other female dependents, who enter and exit in the Qingrong Hou Mansion, and walk through the courtyard gate on the side.
Entering the mansion gate, the carriage stopped at the shadow wall.
The regulations in this side of the mansion are the same as those of the Qingrong Marquis Mansion, and there are also twelve courtyards, but there are many fewer people, most of the courtyards are empty, and only two sweepers remain.
Seeing that Hou Ye came back with the two of them, the housekeeper Qin Shun came up, saluted Jin Xuan, and shouted affectionately, "Miss Ru is back", and then saluted Jin Yi very respectfully and asked Hou: "Miss Jin Yitang is okay." ”
Jinru smiled and said, "Uncle Shun, how awkward your call is, you can just call Miss Yi directly." ”
Jin Yi knew that he was an old man from the Marquis of Changfeng's mansion, and he was still a person who followed his uncle back then, so he said to him with a smile: "Uncle Shun is good." ”
Cai Jing behind him cleverly handed over a small bag of silver nude, Qin Shun took it with a smile, and said to Jin Xuan: "Yesterday, according to the orders of the Hou Ye, I ordered someone to clean up Yunxiu Pavilion. The courtyard is already warm, and then the floor is warm, the light is good, and it is quiet, which is most suitable for Miss Yi to embroider the Buddha picture. ”
Jin Xuan was satisfied with what she heard, and asked Jin Yi what she meant. The smile on Jin Yi's lips was bright, and it seemed that her feelings were good, "Uncle Lao Shun has bothered." He said to Jin Xuan again: "Naturally, I also want to thank Brother Jin Xuan." ”
Jin Ru saw that she was in a good mood, and the smile on her face was a little brighter, not as depressed as the previous two days, but also happy, and a group of people walked towards Yunxiu Pavilion.
Yunxiu Pavilion is in the west of the inner house, occupying a large piece of land, more than twice as large as Fu Jinxuan.
There is a rockery outside the courtyard, which is magnificent and magnificent, and it is the Lingyan transported from the stone city outside the city.
The two most famous mountains outside Jianye City are Zhongshan Mountain, which is used as a royal hunting ground, and the other is the famous Stone Town. It is said that it is a city, but it is only similar in shape, it is formed by the accumulation of Lingyan, the years are deep, there are many low shrubs growing in the rock crevices, there are also pines and cypresses and other climbing stones and born, the whole mountain looks like a natural charm.
Here is to imitate the stone city of the appearance of the built, just a lot smaller, but full of wild interest, there is a bluestone path through the mountain, Jin Yi walks in the rockery, a little curious to look left and right.
Jin Xuan said with a smile on the side: "When you were young, you loved to play hide and seek with me here, don't you remember?" ”
Jin Yi's smile froze slightly, but she couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, so she had to laugh wryly, "I really don't remember." ”
After turning the rockery, Yunxiu Pavilion came into view. There are tall pines and cypresses planted around, and they are still verdant in winter, and I think these trees and rockeries enclose this yard in the middle, shielding the cold wind around it, and showing a green spring scene in this winter.
There is a small lotus pond in the courtyard, and now there are no lotus flowers, but the water is rippling, and the garden is brighter and brighter. To the west, the Qingxi River to the east of the city seems to be heard, and when it is quiet, you can still hear the sound of gurgling water.
Jin Yi liked this Yunxiu Pavilion very much, but she didn't dare to show surprise on her face, she estimated in her heart that this place should be where Jin Yi lived when she was a child, so she just looked at it with a smile and said no more.
Jin Xuan saw that she didn't speak, and only smiled gently, "Let Ru'er accompany you to pack your things first." Let's have dinner together at noon. ”
Jin Yi agreed with a smile.
Jin Ru was extremely excited, walking around Zhang Luo Qiaowei and Cai Jing to pack up their things, and placed the embroidery frame in the east room, which was next to the lotus pond, and the window lattice was pasted with snow-white silk yarn, and the light was excellent.
Jin Yi let them be busy, and stood still in front of a few Qingyu plum trees in the courtyard. The winter sun shone warmly on her body, and for the first time in the past few days since she returned to Beijing, she felt comfortable and happy, and she didn't have to be cautious and low-key, nor did she have to intrigue.
She took a deep breath, and the cold aroma of plum blossoms filled her heart.
