30, Ning Cuixuan
South of the city, Karagasa Lane.
When I first came to live in this grocery store, it was just a simple burden.
When I go now, it's just one.
Yu'er carried the burden on her back, helped Shen Shu, and looked back at the inner room of the grocery store.
In the daytime, the inner room was dim, and there was no light, and it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Yu'er sighed, they had lived in this windowless room for so long.
She doesn't care, she's just wronged.
As he stepped out, in another room, the old woman from the grocery store walked out tremblingly.
"You're leaving?"
"Yes." Yu'er nodded.
The day before, they had told Lao Li and his wife the news that they were leaving. At the same time, he gave them fifty taels of silver as a thank you for taking them in. The old couple was simply stunned, the fifty taels of silver were enough for their daily expenses for a year, so, in turn, they were grateful.
Yu'er felt that fifty taels of silver was too much, and it was not easy to get this hundred taels of silver, but the young lady insisted, so she had to do it.
Miss is kindness, the grace of dripping water, and the spring reciprocates. A good person like Miss must have a good reward.
The best, is the body of the young lady, get better quickly, that sleeping sickness, just don't do it again.
Yu'er was thinking about it, but she saw the old woman in the grocery store take out a jade plum hairpin from her sleeve, this hairpin has a simple shape and a lustrous color, and at a glance you know that it is an old thing. I only heard her say kindly: "In the days I have lived with you, Lao Li and I have really treated you as daughters." Now that you're leaving, we don't have anything of value to give you. This jade plum hairpin is an object handed down from the ancestors. The two of us have no children and no daughters, and there will be no one to pass on to each other in the future, so I will give it to you, which can be regarded as a thought. ”
Yu'er hesitated for a moment and looked up at Shen Shu.
I saw her nod slowly.
Yu'er accepted the hosta.
"Thank you." Shen Shu owed a debt and said, "Let's go." You two take care of yourself. ”
"Okay, okay." The old woman nodded, lowered her eyes again, and her cloudy eyes were a little moist: "You two women should also take good care of yourself when you are outside." ”
"Yes." The two answered.
After saying goodbye, Shen Shu turned around and walked out of the door with Yu'er.
In the blink of an eye, the figures of the two disappeared at the door of the store.
The old woman wiped her eyes, sighed again, and walked slowly back into the room......
**********
The sedan chair is a partial courtyard of the yamen that enters directly.
If you don't know, you still think that Governor Zhang secretly accepted another concubine.
But I saw that the sedan chair did not go to the place where Zhang Zhifu and his wife and concubine lived, but arrived at a courtyard next to the study far away from the bedroom.
This courtyard was originally the place where Governor Zhang's mansion entertained distinguished guests, and it was called "Ning Cui Xuan". The green grass in the spring is like grass, the green lotus spreads in summer, the green fruits are delicate in autumn, and the pine is awe-inspiring in winter. This year, the four seasons are full of green, full of greenery, which is where the "condensation" is.
And outside this Ning Cui Xuan, there is a lake, called "Mirror Lake", taking the meaning of "heart like a mirror". This lake, as a result, is not alarming on weekdays, like a mirror. And in the middle of the lake, there is a pavilion, the pavilion is to accumulate the top of the treasure, and the beauty is set up around to lean on, and you can enjoy the green of the lake in the pavilion.
This Ning Cui Xuan and Mirror Lake, is not too big, before, when the Governor of Zhang entertained distinguished guests, he mostly tasted tea in the courtyard, and occasionally enjoyed the scenery in the pavilion in the center of the lake. Originally, it was also good, but then Governor Zhang felt that this place was too small, so he opened up a water pavilion in another place, which was bigger than this place and had more scenery to enjoy.
Now that Shen Shu and the others were invited to move in, Governor Zhang asked someone to remove Ning Cuixuan's books and clean them inside and out.
The sedan chair stopped in front of Ning Cuixuan.
Yu'er helped Shen Shu and got off the sedan chair.
Entering Ning Cui Xuan, you will see a round blue pool, the lotus leaves in the pool stretch, cascading. There is a white stone bridge on the pond, the railing is carved in the shape of a rabbit, lively and smart, it is to take the meaning of "snow rabbit in the moon".
After crossing the small bridge, all the way through the green trees and bamboo, you will see a pavilion under the shade of green.
This building, two floors high, finely carved, is extremely exquisite.
This should be the pavilion where they will live.
