Chapter 003
After the meal was over, Fu Jun and Wang rinsed their mouths and cleaned their faces under the service of the maid, cleaned up, and removed the table, so Wang sat in front of the dressing mirror to tidy up his appearance, and prepared to go to Mrs. Hou to say goodbye later.
At this moment, I saw Huaisu walking in with a curtain, holding a small rattan basket in his hand, but he was silent when he saw Wang, and his eyes swept around.
Wang saw it in the mirror, and knew that there was something important, and with a wave of his hand, the maids all withdrew. Mama Jiang and Shi Jiang on the side didn't move, they all looked at Fu Jun. Fu Jun came through these times and knew the meaning of this action, so he nodded, and the two of them also retreated.
Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Huai Su took two steps forward, took out a plate of lotus cake from the basket, and presented what happened in the small courtyard in the morning to Wang, and finally put the snack on the dressing table, took two steps back, and waited for Wang's instructions.
A faint smile appeared on Wang's face, but he didn't speak, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Fu Jun was also looking at the plate, so he asked with a smile: "Sister Tang, do you want to eat the fruit?" ”
"I don't want to eat it." Fu Jun shook her head and said, and then concentrated on fiddling with a big cloth tiger that the Wang family gave her, but her ears were pricked up.
Wang didn't say much, turned to look at Huaisu, and asked, "What do you think about this?" ”
"The maid thinks that Sister-in-law Chen is showing favor to us, and she thinks there is something wrong." Huaisu bowed his head.
"That's something, otherwise, how could that red man over there want to come to our courtyard?" Wang said, his eyes drifted to the east.
Pingnanhou's wife, Zhao, lived in the Huifeng Pavilion in the southeast corner.
"That's what the maid originally thought." "Just think about it again, what can we do here to please her like this?" I also thought that she was used to being a person, maybe it was just a favor. ”
Wang smiled, tapped the porcelain plate with his chin and said, "Look, does this seem like a favor?" This utensil, this snack, is so exquisite, we usually can't even touch the edge. Even if it is a favor from the water, there is no reason to send it openly, if you avoid people a little, there is still a bit of truth. ”
Huai Su thought about it for a while and understood, and said, "It's this reason, Mrs. is right." "I just don't know what she's trying to do?" ”
Wang didn't answer her, just looked at the slightly blue sky outside the window, and said lightly after a while: "I know what is going on." After a pause, he sneered again: "It's a good calculation, do you slap and give a sweet date?" I don't know if I really look at that. As he spoke, his face turned a little colder.
Huaisu didn't dare to answer, so he just stood with his head down.
Wang Shiwu said after coming out of the meeting: "Okay, let's quickly pack up and go to the main courtyard." While it's still early, you don't have to rush so much on the road. When she said this, she had regained her composure, except for a slight coldness on her face.
The main courtyard of Bezhuang is built in the southeast corner of the garden, and the location is extremely exquisitely chosen, which is a good place to welcome the cool breeze in summer and warm the sun in winter. The designer of Bezhuang is an old friend of the old marquis, and he is also an unborn strange man. When setting up several main courtyards, he fully considered factors such as light, wind direction and the water potential of Qingque Lake, so as to conform to nature and become the foundation of the avenue and sky, and built it on the spot, which is very ingenious.
The main courtyard is based on "Huifeng Pavilion". At the gate of the courtyard is a row of inverted seats, and facing the gate of the courtyard is three bright and two dark five main rooms. The east and west chambers did not build houses, but each built a rhombic pollen wall. There is a flower stand on the middle wall, and the thick wall is pink and white and green, and there are flowers from spring to summer; On the west side of the west wall is a pear forest, in early spring, the ice posture of a tree is plain, the falling flowers are like a snow dance, and in the middle of summer, it is a thick shade on the wall, and the wind blows like an autumn sound, which is extremely happy.
Small corner doors were opened on both walls. Going out from the east corner gate is "hugging Jiezhai", which is a very quiet courtyard. The water in the courtyard is built into a lotus pond, and there is a bluestone bridge and a vermilion lacquer pavilion. The courtyard gate is hidden in a corner of the garden, but there are two wooden doors, with wisteria flowers hanging on them, which is very chic and natural.
Going out from the West Corner Gate is "in the secluded grate", but this small courtyard is different from other places. In the courtyard, the bamboo forest is repaired, the rockery is stacked, and people walk under the corridor of the blue column, only hear the murmuring of the water, but do not see where the water is. There are several houses hidden in the bamboo forest rockery, and I want to walk, but I find that the path is deep, as if I have entered a labyrinth.
Mrs. Hou's Zhao family lives in the Huifeng Pavilion of the main courtyard, the eldest son Fu Zhuang's family lives in the secluded fence, and the second son Fu Ting's family lives in Baojiezhai. As for the third son, Fu Geng, he has always lived in Yiqing Courtyard in the north corner of Biezhuang.
In this way, the distance between relatives and proximity is clear at a glance.
At the second moment of the first month, Fu Jun and the Wang family had arrived at the door of Huifeng Pavilion on time, and the first-class maid Suyun beside Mrs. Hou was waiting at the door. Seeing Wang's family, she was slightly surprised at first, and was slightly stunned for a moment before she stepped forward to say goodbye.
"Hurry up." Wang stretched out his hand to help her, and asked with a smile, "Has the old lady woken up?" ”
"The old lady has just woken up, and the third lady please come in with the servant." Suyun Road. After saying that, he turned around and led the way, but took the opportunity to turn his head sideways and quietly glanced at Wang again, and the surprise in his eyes had turned to surprise.
Su Yun's reaction at this moment was expected by Fu Jun. Because even she herself lost her mind for a while when she saw the newly dressed Wang family.
The Wang family is dressed up today. A crow's hair is tied into a spiritual bun, and a delicate gold-inlaid jade flower tree is inserted in the middle, and a gilded jade-inlaid tassel hairpin is obliquely pulled next to it, and the long gold tassel is just hanging down on the sideburns, and a small jade butterfly is falling at the bottom.
She wore a shirt embroidered with bamboo leaves, and the blue color flowed down like autumn water. At the bottom, a newly cut moon-white smoke-colored twelve-piece Hunan skirt was tied, and a crepe belt with an emerald green embroidered orchid pattern was wrapped around the waist.
At this moment, the breeze is blowing, and Wang's skirt is fluttering, like a fairy, indescribably beautiful and moving. Along the way, I don't know how many little girls I have been stunned. There was a little girl who was watering the flowers and stared at Wang, and she didn't know that the water was sprinkled on the upper of her shoes. It wasn't until he was glared at by Su Yun that he realized that he jumped up with a bang, and his face was red with shame.
Wang Shi was unconscious, and his face was extremely flat. It's just that, for some reason, under Wang's plain appearance, Fu Jun only felt an awe-inspiring aura rushing to his face, which seemed to mean that the general had killed the battlefield.
Fu Jun couldn't help but shrink his neck. For the first time, she found that Wang's momentum was still very strong, but it was just usually restrained. This made her more and more curious: what could make Wang's aura fully open, and was it related to herself?
By this time, they had already walked to the main door. I saw that the door was slightly hidden, the bead curtain was heavy, and there were five or six girls standing solemnly under the corridor. There was a group of people standing at the bottom of the steps, but it was the family of Dafang who had come early, and the first one was the uncle of the Pingnan Hou Mansion - Fu Zhuang.
He wore a home-style bamboo Qingxia sermon robe today, with collared pipa sleeves, inch-wide white cotton trim on the cuffs and neckline, and a stone blue silk loosely pulled around his waist. He was already quite tall, and wearing it like this meant that he was a little out of the dust.
Fu Jun privately thought that among the three brothers of the Fu family, his father's appearance and charm were the best, Fu Ting was second, and Fu Zhuang's appearance was more ordinary. Fortunately, he has an elegant demeanor and calm demeanor, which is diluted and peaceful, giving people a sense of warmth and gentlemanhood.
Fu Zhuang's wife, Zhang, wore a fallen horse bun, wore a plain gown of willow green, lined with eight plain lotus flower skirts, looked elegant and weak, and Fu Zhuang with big sleeves fluttering stood together, quite pleasing to the eye.
The two of them also saw the Wang family at this time. Fu Zhuang didn't do anything, after Zhang saw Wang's outfit, the corners of his eyes were slightly open, and he immediately returned to normal. Her expression changed extremely quickly, if it weren't for Fu Jun's long-trained eyes, she wouldn't have noticed Zhang's "micro-expression" in less than half a second.
Fu Jun suddenly had a hint of interest in his heart.
The meaning of Zhang's micro-expression just now is: surprise. People instinctively open their eyes and raise their eyebrows and eyelids when they are surprised. However, because the ancients were constrained by etiquette, their expressions were usually not too exaggerated, and their micro-expressions were much more subtle than those of modern people. Fu Jun also observed for a long time before he found a little pattern.
Wang had already bowed down at this time, and Zhang hurriedly reached out to help, and said softly: "Sister, don't be polite, get up quickly." ”
Wang said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished. He bowed respectfully. She was born into a family, and these rituals have always been observed.
"I'm so polite to you." Zhang sighed a little helplessly, but the smile on his face was more sincere than just now.
Fu Jun on the side didn't wait for Wang's orders, and had already automatically and consciously stepped forward to greet Fu Zhuang and his wife. Several children from the big room also came to greet the ceremony, and for a while, there was quite a lively scene in front of the main house.
The Hou Mansion has two sons and two daughters. According to the regulation of the separation of men and women in the Hou Mansion, the eldest son Fu Chen, the second son Fu Cong and the second girl Fu Jia among the four children were all born by the Zhang family, and only the eldest girl Fu Zhen was born to Aunt Sun.
According to the information that Fu Jun occasionally heard from the chatter of the servants, this Zhang clan was the palm bead of Zhang Gelao, a scholar of the intermediate palace of this dynasty and the first assistant of the cabinet. It is said that after the Zhang family got married, she had not been pregnant for nearly two years. Mrs. Hou planned for her heirs, so she made the decision to give a girl named Peiyun to Fu Zhuang next to her. Zhang didn't mind at all, he was still gentle and obedient. Fortunately, it didn't take long for her to finally move, and she gave birth to her eldest son Fu Chen in her first child, and gave birth to Fu Cong and Fu Jia the next year, which can be regarded as a firm foothold.
As for the girl named Peiyun, Fu Chen was found to be pregnant after the full moon, but unfortunately she gave birth to a daughter, and the weight was much worse. and Fu Zhen is weak, so the mother and daughter are not very favored.
It's Fu Jia, who is a serious Houfu concubine, not to mention her noble status, and she is born delicate and cute, and she is very embarrassed in front of the old lady.
