Chapter 16: A Visit to Jumbo Xuan

The Weihou Mansion is a five-entry house. The main courtyard where the Liang family lives is located in the third entrance. From south to north, there are left and right ear rooms, east and west cross courtyards, east and west wing rooms, inverted seat rooms, and there is a hugging building behind the main house, and there is a small garden. Among them, the area of the west courtyard is slightly larger than that of the east courtyard, and it was arranged for Wei Wei, the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, to live.

The east cross courtyard is located in the east of the main courtyard, and later because of the birth of the second lady, Mrs. Liang arranged this small courtyard with a main house and two compartments for her concubine as a boudoir in the future, and renamed it Zhenbaoxuan, in order to show that this daughter is her unique treasure, and it was arranged early. There are good things in his dowry and in the Hou Mansion, so he sorted out the books and moved in early.

The current Liang Hou of the Liang Mansion is the father of the Liang family. Liang Hou Mansion and Zheng Hou Mansion Changfang had a marriage contract, but the junior of Zheng Hou Mansion only got three sons, so he made the decision to let Liang Hou marry the eldest daughter of the old lady in the second room of Zheng Hou Mansion as his wife. Later, the Marquis of Liang accepted three more concubines, and had a total of four sons and three daughters, of which the eldest son, eldest daughter, and second daughter were all concubines. Now all three daughters have been married, but the second daughter has a daughter, and the other two daughters are sons. And Liang Hou has no brothers, therefore, for Liang Hou's Mansion, the only granddaughter is extraordinarily expensive, and it is also very important, and after learning about it, he specially opened a warehouse and loaded a bunch of good things into two carriages and sent them over.

And the chief of Zhenghou Mansion has no daughters, and the second room only has two daughters, and only the one who married to Lianghou Mansion is a concubine, so Zhenghou Mansion knew that the residence of the only great-granddaughter was named Zhenbaoxuan, and he also opened the treasury and found a good thing to choose a carriage and sent it over.

When it was first delivered, the passers-by were shocked, and those who didn't know it almost thought that Zheng Weihou's Mansion was going to get married!

Therefore, after these fillings, Wei Huan's name of Treasure Xuan is really well deserved!

After entering the Treasure Pavilion, Wei Wan pulled Wei Wei to the east of the Treasure Room. Zhenbao Zhai occupies the east wing of the entire Zhenbao Xuan, a total of four times together a total of five, all of them are opened, and most of the treasures with origins and fame are placed, although it cannot be said that compared with the treasure house of the Great Interior, but after all, the Zhengliang Marquis Mansion has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it is not too much to let it be.

"Du Ruo, you go, cook tea for us, take out my new flower tea, and ask my sister to taste it." Entering the Treasure Pavilion, Wei Wan turned around and said something to Du Ruo behind him.

If he said yes, he withdrew.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Wei saw another girl in Tsing Yi come in, who looked the same as Du Ruo, and couldn't help but be surprised.

The maid in Tsing Yi saw Wei Wei's expression, and smiled mischievously and saluted: "Hello eldest lady, maid Du Ru, Du Ruo is the maid's sister, we are twin sisters." ”

"No wonder!" Wei Wei suddenly realized.

Wei Wan smiled on the side: "Eldest sister fainted, right?" At first, I was also dizzy, but later I saw that although Du Ruodu Ru and the two people looked exactly the same, their temperaments were very different. Du Ruo is careful and steady, and Du Ru is lively and jumpy. My Treasure Pavilion is in the hands of Du Ruo. ”

Wei Wei was surprised, and said with a joking smile: "I've only heard of twins, and this is the first time I've seen them, it's really rare." Second sister, isn't your Treasure Pavilion a rarity everywhere?! ”

Wei Wan laughed: "Eldest sister, don't make fun of me." Come on, there's still something to do here! ”

Entering the Treasure Pavilion, facing the door is a large open space, and there is a huge embroidery on the wall, embroidered with the words "Treasure Pavilion". On one side is a large sandalwood bookcase, and the table is full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Then there are rows of bookshelves, treasure chests, etc., arranged from south to north. It can be seen that the contents have been carefully sorted out and cleaned every day.

At this moment, Wei Huan, Wei Wei and others were standing in the open space at the entrance.

Wei Wan pointed to the embroidery on the wall and said, "Eldest sister, this embroidery was written by my grandfather and embroidered by Shu Sanniang, the best embroiderer in our Dayan Dynasty." This Shu Sanniang is most famous for her embroidery, from Shu embroidery but above Shu embroidery, even the ladies in the palace want her to enter the palace. My mother said earlier that she would ask her to teach me when I was five or six years old, but unfortunately she has been missing for more than half a year and has not inherited her skills. Alas, now, this embroidery has also become a treasure. ”

Wei Wei also felt a pity when she heard it. Modern embroidery has long been lost, where is there such a good embroidery, even if there is, the price is very expensive. She remembers once accompanying the manager to a banquet, and heard a noble lady say that there were only two small embroideries on the chest and hem of her dress, and the price of the dress was six figures.

Wei Wan pointed to the rows of bookshelves on the south side of the bookcase: "Here is a part of the treasures they sorted out, divided into ancient books, solitary books, treasures, jewelry, etc., and there are also some calligraphy, paintings, etc. hanging on the wall over there." ”

"Eldest sister, look at what you like, I fell in love with my eldest sister, and I will give it to my eldest sister today." Wei Wan thought about it and said magnificently.

Wei Wei looked at the room full of curiosities: "Second sister, are you talking so much?" If I pick something good, I will feel sorry for it when the time comes! ”

Hearing this, Wei Wan didn't say anything, but Du Ru was anxious: "Second Miss, how can this work?" "The things in this house are all registered and registered, and they are all precious, and the lady has a bottom on the side, how can you give them out at will? Besides, there are so many treasures, in case Miss Da is really unceremoniously choosing a ten-piece or eight-piece・・・・・・ she feels distressed when she thinks about it!

"Eldest sister has a favorite just pick!" Wei Wan responded with a smile, and turned around to count Du Ru: "You girl is stingy!" I don't care, what do you care? As he spoke, he pulled Wei Wei to the bookshelf and told her the provenance of each ancient book.

Because the two of them are still young and not tall, they mostly play with the two layers of things under the wooden frame.

"This one is called the Luminous Cup, it is said that it came from the Western Regions, and we only have five pieces in the entire Dayan! It's called a glow-in-the-dark cup because it glows at night! I didn't believe it at the time, this is not a firefly, I came to see it at night, and it really shines brightly. ”

"This one is the Xuan pen, this is a tribute, it is said to be the best pen in the world, and it is very admired and pursued by famous calligraphers and painters. There are many famous calligraphers and painters in the past dynasties who have written poems for it! The price is better than gold! ”

"This one ・・・・・・"

"This one is the calligraphy of Yan Qingchen, a calligrapher of the previous dynasty, I don't know if it's good or not, but my father was full of praise when I saw it before, and I liked it very much, and said that this is now a lone book!"

Wei Wei looked at Wei Huan, obviously she was very familiar with the things in this house, such as a few family treasures, and she must have stayed here a lot on weekdays. Not to mention anything else, at a young age, at this point of view・・・・・・ strange people say that their daughters should be rich, but there is indeed some truth. There are so many rarities with origins, but this house lives up to the name of this treasure Zhai.

When she walked to the bookshelf on one side, Wei Wan stopped.

"What's wrong? Hey, what is this? Seeing that the second sister stopped talking, Wei Wei was a little surprised. When I turned my head, I saw a worn-out bamboo slip on the bookshelf as far as my eye could see.

"Hey, this is weird!" Wei Wei pointed to the bamboo slip and said.

This scroll of bamboo slips, the shape is simple and heavy, it looks like it is old and weathered, and it should be a unique classic. But since it is divided into two layers at the bottom, the preciousness must be secondary. And Wei Huan's performance also seemed to be inappropriate, which made Wei Wei feel very strange.

"It's kind of weird. I came here once a few days, and I never remembered that there was something in this place, and I never remembered that there was such a bamboo slip! Wei Wan said in surprise.

It's weird to say that. Wei Wei picked up the bamboo slip and looked at it carefully. It looks like an ancient book, but there is not a word in it, but it looks like a bunch of blank bamboo slips are bound together.

After thinking about it, Wei Wei interrupted Wei Wan's thoughts: "Second sister, you have so many rare things here, maybe you missed this before!" ”

"Oh, that's possible!" Wei Wan felt that it made sense when she heard it, so she put it aside: "Eldest sister, look at what you like?" I'm sure I don't feel bad! ”

At this time, Du Ruo came in with the cooked flower tea, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady and the second lady really fell in love!" Usually, the second lady rarely brings people here, let alone send things! ”

Wei Wei felt embarrassed when she heard this. How bad it is to come to my sister here and take away my sister's things! It's just that the second sister has already said twice, and it won't be good if she doesn't take anything in case she hurts her face again. So he simply picked up the bamboo slip on the side and said, "Then I'm welcome, that's it!" ”

Wei Wan looked at it, but it was the bamboo slip of unknown origin.

"No, no, no, this doesn't count, the eldest sister will pick it again." This thing can't be seen, can't be used, how can it be counted?

"Since I picked it, of course it's what I like! The second sister won't be reluctant, right? Wei Wei held the bamboo slip in one hand and pulled her with the other and smiled.

Wei Wan said this, and Wei Wan didn't want to say it anymore, so she had to let her.
