Chapter 272: Chrysanthemum Mountain
Everyone was enjoying the scenery of the county lord's mansion all the way, after all, the beauty of this mansion has been spread all over the capital. In addition to the beauty of this mansion, it also seems very mysterious, because its owner is Chen Wenhui, she is not very sociable, therefore, the county lord's mansion is mysterious and never open to the nobles of the capital. Now we have the opportunity to see this mysterious mansion, and everyone is very interested.
After looking closely, I found that this mansion is exquisite, and every material is used in the best. For example, the hall where everyone was entertaining just now was spacious and bright, so many people sat in it without crowding at all, and every chair and table was made of Venus rosewood, dazzling and magnificent. It's late autumn now, so the chairs are all accompanied by chairs, and the embroidery on the chairs is very exquisite.
Some ladies and girls deliberately compared that the embroidery on those chairs was even more delicate than the embroidery of the clothes they were wearing, and the embroidery was even more excellent. I was thinking in my heart, no wonder people said that the best needlework in the palace was the best needlework in the Nanyang of the county lord of Wenhui, which was known as the storage of the needle god. Now just look at these embroidery jobs, the rumors are true.
Although the tea that everyone drinks in the hall is fragrant, it is not special, it is the tea from the tea field of Mingzhu's house, but the utensils for drinking tea are very exquisite, all of them are enamel porcelain, the color is gorgeous, magnificent, just with the spacious hall, the magnificent furniture.
After leaving the hall, everyone walked all the way, only to see carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, and all that connected the buildings was exquisite hand-copying verandah. Even on rainy days, you don't need to use an umbrella in the house, so you don't have to worry about getting wet. Along the way, they passed by a few courtyards and could see the flowers and trees inside, but Chen Wenhui did not invite everyone to sit in, but directly led everyone to a place called Feishuang Courtyard.
When I got here, I saw a big chrysanthemum mountain as soon as I entered the courtyard gate. Layers. It looks very impressive. Everyone praised each other.
In addition to the chrysanthemum mountain in the middle, chrysanthemums are planted in the corners of the wall and beside the path, which are swaying highly. Under the corridor. Next to the doorway. On the table, there are pots of chrysanthemums everywhere, and many of them are famous.
These noble ladies of the capital who like to enjoy flowers. Some of the ladies were not calm, and Aiju began to identify the varieties one by one. There are jade peonies, Yaotai jade phoenixes, snow seas, shyness, green chrysanthemums, green water autumn waves, cold and glamorous, a little red lips, and bean green.
These ladies spontaneously formed groups of three or five, and found acquaintances to start appreciating chrysanthemums together. From time to time, a voice came out: "Oh, this is the Jade Ling Tube, and this is the Purple Dragon Lying Snow." ”
Some said: "This is Xuanmo, this is mud gold incense, this is remnant snow, this is vermilion, this is the vermilion dotted emerald, this is both new and old varieties." Especially this Xuanmo, but ten taels of silver a plant, and money can't buy it. It is said that only the old Ge family in the capital can breed it. ”
Another person said: "What is money, as long as it can be bought, the last thing the county lord's mansion is afraid of is spending money." What's more, people have a master of the black family to take care of the flowers and trees, what kind of varieties can't be bred? Don't you see that the flowers and trees in this house are extraordinarily energetic? ”
Chen Wenhui called the maids and servants to shuttle among the guests, pouring a cup of tea and a snack for everyone from time to time. All the guests were satisfied. Some people are tired of watching, and there are maids to welcome them to the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, on the verandah, and in the flower hall to rest, where tea and snacks are ready. These guests can chat and drink tea, and the atmosphere is very casual.
Han came to Chen Wenhui's side with a smile and said, "Wenhui, your mansion is really exquisite. On the day of your wedding, I felt that the house was magnificent, and I didn't know that there was such an elegant place on this East Road. You look at the chrysanthemums all over the yard, the pink and white walls, and the gray tiles, which look very elegant. ”
A lady on the side followed, "The utensils used here are also very exquisite. Before, in the hall, the hall full of Venus rosewood furniture, the style is magnificent, with enamel porcelain, it is really magnificent. When you come here, it is all a calm and restrained cow hair red sandalwood, just matched with this noble chrysanthemum, and this inlay is not a jeweled snail, but marble. The tea set used here is not a rich enamel, but a celadon that is as thin as paper, as bright as a mirror, and as sound as a chime, which really complements each other. ”
Chen Wenhui deliberately glanced at this lady, this lady is very raw, but the dress is elegant, naturally with a bookish fragrance, but it gives people a very gentle feeling.
Mrs. Han hurriedly said: "Wen Hui may be born, this is my sister-in-law Han Liu, and my mother's brother is Han Binsheng, who is a fourth-grade official of the Ministry of Rites." Originally, my sister-in-law didn't receive your post, but when I went back to my parents' house that day, I told my sister-in-law that she wanted to get to know you, the most legendary county lord of the dynasty. I also want to visit you, the house that everyone praises in the capital, so I have the cheekiness to bring it, which is really abrupt. ”
Chen Wenhui looked at Mrs. Han pretending to be nothing, she also gave Han face and said with a smile: "Then what do I shout, follow my sister-in-law to call my sister-in-law." Sister-in-law of the Han family, it's too late for me to be happy that you can come, this is something that can't be invited. In the future, we are close relatives, so we should move around more. By the way, you haven't met my sister-in-law yet. Let me introduce you to it. Get the snow, you come over here. ”
Lang Xue was chatting with a few girls under Mingzhu's introduction. Hearing her sister-in-law call her, she hurriedly said goodbye, and walked over with a curling voice, and Chen Wenhui introduced her.
Lang Xue blessed the salute and called Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Han.
Han and Han Liu looked at each other, but the two of them were just stunned for a moment, and quickly reacted, holding Ling Xue's hand and praising it, one praised Rong Xue for being beautiful, and the other praised Rong Xue's clothes for being really good-looking.
Han said, and took off a mutton fat white jade bracelet from his hand and put it on Lang Xue's hand, saying that it was a meeting gift. Han Liushi also took off a white jade forbidden step from his body and gave it to Lang Xue.
The snow has arrived.
Chen Wenhui said: "Our family is snowing, but our second master's sister loves her the most." I want to find her a husband with a simple family, good character and good knowledge, and if the two sisters-in-law have good candidates, they have to talk to me. ”
The snow powder was red, couldn't stand, and walked over. Chen Wenhui waited for the snow to leave, and said with a smile: "Nothing else is fine, but this dough is too thin." This man should get married and the woman should get married, what is there? Sisters-in-law, you need to be more careful. ”
Han Shi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I can't think of anything to match for a while." The Snow Girl has such a character and appearance, but you have to pick it carefully, and you can't be wronged. ”
Chen Wenhui said: "It is this principle that my mother, Mrs. Chen San, has always liked to make snow, and personally taught the rules of making snow, and her housekeeping ability." My mother praised her for learning well and quickly, saying that she was much better than my talent. I'm jealous of it. ”
Saying this, Han could only follow up with a few more praises.
Chen Wenhui continued: "It's nothing else, it's just that Langxue was not from the capital before, and it was only recently found by my second master that he was brought back, so he didn't have any friends in the capital." Therefore, I took advantage of this chrysanthemum appreciation party to let her know a few more ladies, and if she has friends in the future, she will not be lonely. ”
Han Liushi was the first to react, and hurriedly said, "That's just right. I liked the appearance of the Snow Maiden very much at first sight. It just so happened that the second girl in my family, as soon as she heard her aunt say that she was going to come to the county lord's mansion to enjoy the flowers, she couldn't sit still, and she had to grind to come. I had to bring it too. She's fifteen years old this year, and I think she's about the same age as Lady Snow, so she should be able to talk about going together, so it's better to let them get to know each other. ”
Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "This relationship is good, I haven't seen the second girl in the house yet, just let me meet too." ”
After speaking, Han Liushi and Chen Wenhui each called everyone over, and their faces were still a little red, and they were also very happy to see that their sister-in-law introduced her little sister to her.
Chen Wenhui looked at Han Er's girl, and saw that she was born beautiful, but not as beautiful as Rongxue, her temperament is very good, wearing a water-green shirt, slim and elegant, and she is also very generous.
As soon as Chen Wenhui raised her hand, the water lotus sent a tray over, on which there was a green phoenix swaying, holding a one-foot-long pearl tassel. There is also a pair of jade bracelets.
This is a fine gift prepared by Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui said: "This is a meeting gift. I see that the second girl in the house is calm, and she will definitely be able to get along with our family's gentle snow. Now that the two of you know each other, let's go over there to enjoy the flowers and chat. In the future, the second girl will be free, and she will come to my house to walk around, and she has no friends in the capital, so you have to take her with you. ”
Han Er's girl arrived, and Xie arrived. Han Liushi glanced at the step of the red gold and emerald phoenix, as well as the brilliant pearl spikes, and couldn't help but think in his heart, no wonder it was said that the county lord of Wenhui was rich, and he was really generous.
Lang Xue had a good impression of this girl who was polite at first glance, and the two of them held hands and went to the side to chat. Chen Wenhui's gift to Han Er's girl was naturally received by Han Er's maid.
Han Er's girl looked at the snow, and just in the hall, she heard a few ladies introducing the snow, and knew that this was the eldest girl in the mansion of the county lord of Wenhui, the sister-in-law of the county lord of Wenhui, and one of the masters. And the identity is mysterious, just in the hall wearing a set of gorgeous clothes, this time to this courtyard full of chrysanthemums, has changed into a set of pale pink shirts, wide robes and large sleeves, looks chic, and the flowers in this yard are matched.
