36. Chapter 36

Huo Mansion was given by the emperor and was carefully designed by Master Su, who was proficient in civil construction, imitating Suzhou gardens. It can be said that there are beautiful scenery in every place in Huofu, and every angle can be painted, and the most unique scenery is the four courtyards of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum: "Dark Fragrance Garden", "Youlan Ju", "Cuizhu Garden", "Huxiang Pavilion".

"Hug Xiang Pavilion" is a two-storey attic in the back house, the construction is ingenious, all kinds of chrysanthemums are planted in the courtyard, and there are precious chrysanthemums carefully cultivated by the greenhouse to move to the scene, the name of the courtyard is Huo 19 personally according to Zheng Sixiao's "Painting Chrysanthemum" in the sentence "Rather the branches hold the incense to death, how has it been blown down in the north wind" and take. It is his favorite place to go when he is in the inner house, and he has two study rooms inside and outside the Huo Mansion, and the inner house is the "Huxiang Pavilion".

It was hard for him to imagine that he could see the chrysanthemums in the garden when he pushed open the fan, but now he could see the cucumber field when he pushed the fan, and maybe he could see his strong father planting something else in the field shirtless. If you catch up with fertilization, it will inevitably smell of dung......

He continued to read with a black face.

Cao Yu stood to the side with lowered eyes, glancing at him from time to time. He is inseparable from Huo Nineteen, and naturally knows his preferences and habits best, although Huo Nineteen looks calm, he knows that he is already on the verge of exploding.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Huo Shijiu to throw away the book irritably, get up and say calmly, "Let's go and take a look." ”

Cao Yu hurriedly said softly: "Yes." Even the abdominal pain that he endured with laughter did not dare to show the slightest smile in front of him.

Huo Nineteen walked in front with his hands down, entered the Hanging Flower Gate like a leisurely stroll, and went straight to the direction of Baoxiang Pavilion.

The little girls who were already guarding near the Hanging Flower Gate saw Huo Nineteen come in and hurried back to their respective masters.

Not long after, Huo Shijiu came to the backyard of Baoxiang Pavilion, and sure enough, he saw the picture he expected.

Huo Dazhuan wore an earthy yellow coarse cloth short brown, half-stretched and bare, the other arm was worn in the clothes, and he was turning the ground with a shovel...... What a broken house, there is no place to grow vegetables. In the end, it is good in Zhuangzi, there is a chicken nest and pigsty smell, it smells steady, this broken garden is fragrant, making people want to sneeze! As he spoke, he couldn't help but sneeze.

The little boys who were waiting on the side were speechless and asked the sky.

"You guys, go and catch some chickens for me again, and ask for a few big roosters, and I'm going to keep them for fun. How can you do it without a rooster, you can't get up early, and you're not used to it on weekdays! ”

"Old lady, there is an hour clock in the house, when do you want to get up in the morning, just tell the girls."

"I don't want a girl to serve, you turtle grandsons still need someone to serve, don't you have hands and feet? And that thing, a broken scale dangling underneath! I'm dizzy, who can understand! Be careful not to bump into it, and be more careful than a living baby,...... Don't you say that I haven't remembered it yet, hurry up and throw the goods to Lao Tzu! ”

"Old lady...... "That's a priceless Western glass-covered hour clock!" How can it become a throwaway!

Huo Shijiu watched and listened from a distance, and suddenly felt weak. Originally, he prepared a belly of persuasion, and even thought of the reason that "the courtyard given by the emperor must not be moved", but looking at the father who was very happy and confident, he compromised again.

Just let him go.

Huo Jiu sighed and turned to leave.

Cao Yu hurriedly followed.

When the people left, Huo Dazhuan poked the shovel into the ground, wiped the sweat on his face, and snorted: "Rabbit cub, I don't know how to say hello when I see Lao Tzu." The corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile happily.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there seemed to be a figure in front of the courtyard gate, but if he looked closely, he saw that four flowery aunts stepped into the threshold under the service of the girls, and the one who walked in front was the girl of the Miao family who he was most unaccustomed to.

Huo Dazhuan snorted and shouted, "You guys, come and help turn the ground!" ”

Aunt Miao, Aunt Zheng, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang all lost their faces when they heard this, and they were stunned on the spot for a while.

The more Huo Dazhuan looked at those delicate beauties, the more panicked he became, because these aunts were all evidence that Huo Shijiu was not serious!

He dug a shovel hard and scolded: "One by one, I don't know how to work, that's how I spoiled my body, and I was sick before I was forty!" ”

The aunts originally got the news and wanted to see Huo Nineteen, but they didn't think about it, but they didn't want to stay at this time, they just listened to the old lady's reprimand with a dirty face, and didn't dare to say a word.

Compared with the Huo family, the Jiang family is more lively at the moment.

Jiang Xuewen and Jiang Chenfeng had just entered the hat brim alley, and they saw a train of seven or eight carriages parked side by side, and three or five young men gathered in front of the door to chat their teeth.

Seeing Jiang Xuewen and Jiang Chenfeng, they all hurriedly got up and saluted: "The second master is back." ”

Is it from this family?

When I arrived in the courtyard, I heard Qiao's mother in the small kitchen telling the girls to "move quickly", and I could hear the sound of stir-frying and cooking oil, and the air was filled with the fragrance of food. When I got to the porch, I heard a commotion in the house.

"Madam, the old man and the second master are back."

When I opened the curtain and entered the door, I saw a few familiar faces.

Jiang Xuewen smiled, "Big brother, sister-in-law, third brother, brother and sister, why are you here?" ”

Jiang Chenfeng stepped forward with a smile and saluted: "Please say hello to the eldest uncle, aunt, third uncle, and third aunt." ”

The eldest aunt Qian was busy smiling and got up to help, pulling Jiang Chenfeng's arm and smiling: "Brother Chen'er is so tall?" He turned back to Tang and smiled: "In the end, my younger brother and sister will teach, look at Brother Chen, he is really a person with extraordinary temperament." ”

The third aunt Yu nodded again and again, and said to a young man wearing a light blue shirt beside her: "That's right, Brother Qing also learns more from your brother Chen." ”

Tang said with a smile: "Half a big man, eat a poor old man, he, he just eats a lot faster, in fact, he is a stupid big man, Brother Qing is a good son, polite and polite, I like it when I see it sooner or later." ”

Jiang Qingfeng stuck out his tongue at his mother Yu.

When he spoke, his eldest uncle Jiang Zongwen and his third uncle Jiang Chongwen had already met Jiang Xuewen and saluted each other.

Tang said with a smile: "Their brothers naturally have something to say, let's go to the inner room, it's better to say something considerate, and I haven't seen each other for several months." ”

Qian and Yu both got up with a smile, and walked to the tips with Tang holding their arms affectionately.

Jiang Chenfeng smiled and said to Jiang Qingfeng: "Let's go, go to my place for some tea." ”

Jiang Qingfeng nodded. and Jiang Chenfeng went out to the west wing.

In the middle of the day, Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan and Jiang Jiao were talking to Jiang Shu and Jiang Wan, the daughters of the eldest uncle's family, when they saw the three Tang people coming in, the little sisters all got up and saluted and gave up their seats.

The eldest aunt Qian said: "My father heard that the second brother had an accident, and he was seriously ill, and he was sick, and even his mother was sick with his work, and my third brother and sister were busy serving, so I didn't take the time to send a letter, and I hope my younger brothers and sisters won't be surprised." ”
