Chapter 255: Natural

When Chen Wenhui came out of the Taoist temple, her heart was quite calm, although the place here is narrower, but it is quite quiet, and it is full of green bamboo, which looks very eye-catching.

Zhao Chongyi was already waiting for Chen Wenhui in the carriage outside. Chen Wenhui got into the carriage, and Zhao Chongyi asked, "What did the second sister tell you?" ”

Chen Wenhui said the request made by Concubine Zhao just now. Zhao Chongyi had long known Chen Wenhui's arrangements for the second concubine of the Chen family, so after listening to it, he immediately understood what Concubine Zhao Defei wanted.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "If only I could help her." Although she had many shortcomings before, she was young and vigorous, and she could even be said to be young and ignorant. In addition, my father is away all the year round, and the three of us brothers are raised by our father, but the father can't take care of the three sisters, and the three sisters are all brought up by their mothers, so they are naturally biased. However, I think that the second sister, who has been in the palace for so many years, has also suffered a lot, and is sensible a lot, so she doesn't listen to her grandmother in everything. It's also close to me. ”

Chen Wenhui listened carefully.

Zhao Chongyi continued: "We are living so happily now, my eldest brother does not need to say it, he is already loyal and righteous, and with the help of his sister-in-law, we don't have to worry about it." Third brother, in the future, we may have to help the handle, but we all have a father, and our help is limited. Needless to say, the eldest sister has already gone. The third sister is still stupid, and I don't want to deal with her. However, these two sisters are now the abandoned sons of the Zhao family. is young, but to practice like this, living a lonely life, it's really unbearable. It would be nice if I could help her. ”

Chen Wenhui understood that Zhao Chongyi, a person who hated the Zhongyi Mansion very much, didn't even want to live in the Zhongyi Mansion, and would rather live in Liu Jingyuan's house all day long, but in fact, he attached great importance to family affection in his heart. These brothers and sisters of the Zhao family are all worried about his heart.

Chen Wenhui likes Zhao Chongyi like this, such a man who is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside is a lover worthy of her life. Chen Wenhui said gently: "I understand, I will think of ways to help her." In the future, as long as your brothers and sisters are willing to be nice to you, when you are brothers, I will treat them as brothers and sisters. Of course, if there are such stupid people who don't want to deal with us, who are stubborn, I won't be soft. ”

Zhao Chongyi understood that this was talking about Zhao Yufei, a stupid person. Zhao Chongyi's brows furrowed and said: "Yu Fei is the youngest, she has been held in the palm of her hand by her mother since she was a child, and she is also relying on her identity as the concubine of the Guogong Mansion to bully people, she is really ignorant. She really didn't think of me as her brother, and I didn't lack her as a sister. ”

At this moment, Chen Wenhui understood, smiled slightly, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about these people, let's talk about going to your father's farm later, can you get us something delicious?" I'm a little hungry. ”

Zhao Chongyi smiled and said: "On my father's farm, my father's own chef lives and brought it from the northwest. It just so happened that my father and grandmother returned to the city to live in the Zhongyi Mansion because of our marriage, and now there is no master in the Zhuangzi, and the two of us have passed, just shopping on the Zhuangzi, and by the way, let the northwest chef cook a meal of Northwest flavor for us, okay? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "That feeling is good." Actually, I've wanted to admire my father's farm for a long time. However, usually, Mrs. Zhao also lives here, so I don't want to come over, but now it's good, she's not here, and we just happened to be shopping. ”

Zhao Chongyi said: "But no, you know? The reason why my father chose this place to live in seclusion is really because this Zhuangzi was built very well, it was actually the Zhuangzi of a former prince of the clan, and it was still very good, and it was also built under the guidance of a landscape master back then. Later, it was abandoned for a while, and after we bought it, my father rested a few times, and it was okay. However, this time, my father has been living there for almost a year, and he has changed a lot of places, and you will know when you look at it. ”

Looking at Zhao Chongyi's mysterious appearance, Chen Wenhui was a little curious.

When he arrived at the farm, as Zhao Chongyi walked around, Chen Wenhui knew why Zhao Chongyi had such a strange expression, it was really too strange for the old loyal and righteous father. This garden as a whole is very good, in the garden to visit Chen Wenhui found that the place called the Four Seasons Garden, planted with spring peach blossoms, winter plum blossoms, but it should be summer and autumn places, but neatly planted vegetables, rice and other crops, the growth is still very gratifying.

Zhao Chongyi looked at Yiguigui's vegetables and said: "Originally, the summer garden here was planted with a lot of roses, peonies, peonies, treasures, begonias, hosta flowers and the like, but they were all flattened by my father and made into a neat vegetable garden. And the precious chrysanthemums in the autumn garden next door were also plucked and turned into rice fields. Now, it is already yellow and ready to be harvested. For this, I heard that my grandmother was not angry with my father, but my father insisted on going his own way, and thought that my grandmother didn't understand, so he scolded my mother. ”

Chen Wenhui leaned back with a smile and said, "Father is really magical, probably he thinks that this can be called a farm, right?" I don't know what the farm built for him by the emperor is like? Is it garden-style? Or is it a vegetable garden subtype? ”

Zhao Chongyi said helplessly: "Originally, I have seen all the drawings of the garden that the royal family built for my father, and if it is built, it may be even more beautiful than this." It's a pity that it was changed by my father. A lot of beautiful designs were lost, and they were directly turned into vegetable gardens and crop fields. Hey, it's so overwhelming. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "If there is a chance in the future, I want to persuade my father that this garden should create the appearance of a garden, which should be lush with flowers and trees, stacked with clever stones, peaks and loops, winding water, and winding paths." If you have to make a grange, there is no neighboring village in the distance, there is no country in the near country, there is no vein in the back mountains, there is no source of water near the water, there are no farmers in the fields, there are no chickens and dogs next to the thatched huts, there is no spinning wheel in the house, there are no New Year's pictures on the walls, there is no market when you go out, there is no restaurant in the village, so where is the farm, where is the nature. The servants who came and went were all well-behaved and dressed in satin clothes. And those guards with swords and guns standing guard, this is artificial. If you really want to farm the land and grow crops, it is also easy, buy a few acres of land on the farm in front of the village, or buy the whole village, and farm the land with those real farmers, fish together, and raise chickens together, this is the real joy of the countryside. ”

Zhao Chongyi was stunned for a moment and said: "I just think it's a little inappropriate to do this, but every time I talk about my father, my father says that I am a vulgar thing, and I only know how to carve beams and paint buildings all day long, how to understand this natural fun." Now that I heard your remarks, I realized that my father was wrong, this is delicate and pretentious, where is it natural? ”

Chen Wenhui smiled, this theory was learned by Chen Wenhui from Jia Baoyu, but he couldn't sue Zhao Chongyi.

The two of them walked around for a while, and found that there was a courtyard, which was full of stones and walls, and planted a lot of strange grasses, some of which were hanging around the pillars, some of which were fluttering with green belts, some of which were like golden cinnamon, and some of which were like dansha, Chen Wenhui couldn't help but take a deep breath and said: "It's so fragrant, this place is indeed a good place." Why don't we just put the food here and eat it? ”

Zhao Chongyi naturally agreed, and said to Chen Wenhui while instructing the servants to set the meal: "This courtyard is called Lanhui Courtyard. Just as your name suggests, the yard is full of herbs, and it's fitting that we're here to eat. ”

The two of them began to eat after enjoying the fun in this courtyard.

The taste of the food is good, different from the sweetness of Jiangnan cuisine, and also different from the sour and spicy of Nanyang cuisine, but the luscious and greasy and rough flavor still won Chen Wenhui's appreciation. Chen Wenhui asked the water lotus who followed her not to forget to give a generous reward to the people in the farm who served them today, especially the cook. This is not to make the people on this Zhuangzi happy, Chen Wenhui is generous, and the reward for the cook is ten taels of seals. For those subordinates, they are also sealed eight taels, five taels, and two taels. These subordinates were far away from the capital, and they didn't have any oil and water, and they were suddenly rewarded, and they all praised Zhao Chongyi and his wife.

After eating, Zhao Chongyi asked Chen Wenhui to rest in this small courtyard, Chen Wenhui was used to taking a nap, and originally carried bedding in the car, so he did not refuse, and took a nap in this fragrant courtyard.

When she woke up in the afternoon, Chen Wenhui felt refreshed, so at the invitation of Zhao Chongyi, she went to play in a small col nearby for an afternoon. Back at the county lord's mansion, it was already dark, and the two hungry men had dinner in their mansion.

After the meal, Mama Su beside Chen Wenhui came over and asked: "County Lord, Second Master, tomorrow is the official day to return to the door, today, you two are not in this mansion, the Zhongyi Mansion has sent the prepared return gift, please take the second master to return to the door tomorrow." ”

Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "It's thoughtfully prepared, what are all the things, bring them to me to see." ”

Mama Su was prepared, and brought a gift slip over, Chen Wenhui looked at it and said, "Well, it's quite generous, it seems that my father-in-law really treats me as a second daughter-in-law." ”

Zhao Chongyi leaned over and looked at it and said, "It's much richer than when the eldest brother returned to the door." However, I'm not an idle eater. I've also quietly prepared a gift list here, Hui'er, take a look. ”

After speaking, he took out a list like a trick. Chen Wenhui's eyes widened and asked, "When did you prepare the gift list?" How did I not know? ”R1152
