Chapter 410: The Garden
"Okay, you two are waiting for the second uncle, and I'll go back and help the eldest grandmother take care of some ......"
In Jia Qing's bedroom in Ning'an Hall, after Qin took off Jia Qing's shoes, he took a closer look at Jia Qing's drunken face, and then said to the person next to him.
Just now, when they "carried" Jia Qing back, Jia Qing seemed to recognize people, and her whole body only leaned on Qin Keqing, and in desperation, she had to be the main force of the carrying. When they arrived at the house, Qin Keqing simply did it to the end, and helped the two of them to do the work of waiting for a good bed......
And the two of them didn't dare to compete with her...... As a junior, the Qin family is also within its duty to do these things.
Seeing Qin Keqing get up, a few maids such as Luan hurriedly responded, and then sent Qin Keqing and her maids out with Luan.
"The second master smells of wine now, wipe him first and then go to sleep."
After re-entering the door, seeing that Mu Ping'er helped Pei Feng and the two were already preparing to cover Jia Qing with a quilt, he said. Only then did Pei Feng and the others stop moving, and Mu Ping'er went out to ask the maids outside to fetch hot water to come in.
"I don't know how much wine the second master went out to drink, how did he get drunk like this?" Looking at Jia Qing, who was drunk and unconscious on the bed, Pei Feng muttered.
Xianluan said with a smile: "The second master doesn't like to drink outside, but the second master in the Xifu came over in person, and the second master is not good at slacking off, so he should go out." If you want to say that today is such a happy day, the second master should indeed drink a few more glasses. ”
Pei Feng heard this, and said with a smile: "Exactly, from today onwards, the second master has been promoted again!" By the way, how many rank officers is a first-class general? ”
"I heard from the mothers-in-law outside that they look like first-class officials!"
"Yipin, ah......" the corners of Pei Feng's mouth opened.
"The second master is still so young and he is a first-class official, how can he get it in the future?" Peifeng has heard of it in the opera, and knows that Yipin is the biggest official, as if Zaifu is the first official......
When Xianluan heard this, he couldn't help but look at Jia Qing, who was half-turned over on the bed, in a daze.
They are people who were bought into Ning Guofu as maids since they were children, their parents and relatives no longer know where they are, and they don't read, they use their hearts and minds to serve Jia Qing, and their understanding of officialdom is only hearsay. How do they know that the rank of knighthood is different from the grade of official position!
In officialdom, it is the official level that crushes people to death, but the importance of the title varies from person to person......
After a while, Lian'er took a few little maids with two basins of hot water and a clean body (don't get me wrong... Come in, take Luan's second daughter back to her thoughts, and take it upon herself to wipe some key parts of Jia Qing that are easy to sweat...... During the whole process, Jia Qing was at the mercy of their maids, and it seemed that he was really drunk......
After a while, she cleaned up, and Lian'er commanded the withdrawal of all the things and utensils.
Now that Jia Qing has moved into Ning'an Hall, not to mention other attached courtyards and other courtyards, just the main courtyard, the large and small houses are not much more and more spacious than Yipintang!
Therefore, as the veteran maid beside Jia Qing, the four original little girls of Jin, Bottle, Mei, and Lotus were all promoted by Jia Qing to big girls. In addition, after Jia Qing entered Ning'an Hall, he moved all the mothers-in-law in some positions that did not have to be qualified to be a mother-in-law, and then promoted those capable maids......
What is a capable maid?
According to well-intentioned people, these capable maids have one characteristic, that is, they are better than others......
You must know that there are more than 100 people in Ning'an Hall in the inner courtyard alone, in addition to mothers-in-law and women, there are also sixty or seventy large and small maids (there are many maids in the inner courtyard), and now, there are more than 30 maids in the main courtyard. The four maids of gold, bottle, plum and lotus are in a high position by virtue of their qualifications and are responsible for the central scheduling.
At this time, it was already late at night, and after taking care of the things that should be packed, he quickly closed the door and went to sleep......
Slowly, the entire Ning'an Hall fell silent.
Suddenly, a pair of evil eyes in the dark night suddenly opened, and with the cunning banter of the cheetah when searching for prey, he quickly locked on to the target in the house.
Quietly got out of bed and walked over, looking at the person who seemed to be about to fall into a deep sleep on the small bed, the eyes of the figure in the darkness were full of undisguised pride, and slowly stretched out his evil hands towards the still unconscious target......
"Huh~"
The man on the bed seemed to sense something, and let out a shallow groan, but soon there was no movement......
With Luan had a dream tonight, in the dream, her bad second master was doing bad to her again, she was naturally "desperately struggling", and then took herself out of the dream. The corners of his mouth smiled and tasted for a while, and when he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, he found that he was a little thirsty, and he endured not opening his eyes, and after a while, he opened his eyes and sat up, ready to get out of bed and pour some tea to moisten his throat......
A strange sound faintly heard in the dark night caught her attention. These fragments of sound are intermittent, distant and near, high-spirited and low, and interspersed with indescribable emotions......
He listened calmly, the sound was similar to the "sound of rats gnawing at the foot of the bed" heard the night before, but it seemed to be a little different.
Xianluan got out of bed and prepared to go inside to have a look, because she could hear that the sound was coming from inside!
I just don't know what her considerations are, but she didn't turn on the lights, just stepped on her embroidered shoes, and slowly walked inside by the faint moonlight that shone into the house through the thin window paper.
Then, the room suddenly fell silent, all the sounds disappeared, and the silence in the room was a little strange. But less than five seconds later, I heard the sound of a heavy object pressing against the bed, and soon the same notes as before were heard in the room, and it was even more sultry......
......
In May, the rain is sunny and the plums are fat, and the apricot blossoms blow away and the swallows are flying
The time has come to the Youth League fan, and the scholar girl is newly cut in white ramie
Quiet and comfortable days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the middle of summer.
Midsummer is a season full of poetry.
It is neither like the gentle water of early summer, nor as warm as the fire of midsummer, it carries the unique fragrance of light summer, like all those who love it release its charm.
"Baoyu, you run slowly, fall carefully!"
In the second mansion of Ningrong, the provincial garden prepared by Jiafu for the concubine has been basically completed. Today, it was Mrs. Jia who suddenly became interested and took the sons and ladies in Jia's mansion to visit the garden.
As the eldest and youngest grandmother of Rongguo Mansion, Li Kun's duty is to take care of the sisters and brothers in the family. Therefore, when watching Jia Baoyu running and jumping to guide everyone, he couldn't help but remind him loudly.
Jia Mu led a large group of people, and also said loudly: "You slow down, it's not fun to fall!" ”
Jia Baoyu didn't care when he heard this, he just turned around and smiled at everyone. In the end, he didn't run any further, but waited for everyone to come.
"Old Ancestor, look, there is Qinfang Pavilion in front!"
Jia Baoyu pointed to a four-corner pavilion built near the water in front of him and said with a smile.
Li Kun and the others raised their eyes and saw that from a water system in Qinfangxi, between the two places, an exquisite pavilion stood tall.
The crowd was delighted.
Walk to the front, only to see this pavilion built near the water with white stone as the railing, surrounding the pond edge, the stone bridge three arches, the beast face is spitting, the sparkling shadow, just like the Qiong Pavilion.
"This pavilion is very nice." Jia Mu looked at it for a long time and said.
Mrs. Wang saw that Mother Jia was interested in being here, so she smiled and said, "The old lady has also been gone for a long time, so why don't we also take a break here and take advantage of the cool breeze on the water to go to the summer." ”
Jia Mu also had this intention, so she took everyone in. The maids and ladies put the cushions on the wooden benches in advance, and Mrs. Jia Muwang waited to sit, because there was water outside the pavilion, so they were leaning against each other, and the slight cool breeze on their backs blew a lot, but it really took a lot of the summer heat that had just come out.
"What's the name of this pavilion?"
"Back to the old lady, it's called 'Qinfang Pavilion'."
"Who got the name?"
"It's Brother Qing."
Jia Mu nodded, and said, "So, the places we looked at all the way were all named by Brother Qing?" ”
Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "No, most of the pavilions and pavilions here are inscribed by Baoyu, and only a few are inscribed by Brother Qing." ”
Jia Mu was slightly surprised, and looked at Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu smiled, with a slight smug look in her eyes.
It turned out that the day before yesterday, Jia Zheng saw that the garden had been completed, so he went into the garden to inspect it, and the result was naturally very satisfied. It's just that I saw that the scenery and pavilions in the garden were not named, so I sent someone to call Jia Qing to discuss the name.
Although Jia Qing didn't really want to steal the limelight of Jia Baoyu, he deserved the title of the garden at this time, and it was not good for others, including Jia Zheng, to overstep his authority, so he followed Jia Zheng to temporarily draw up a name for everywhere while traveling.
Jia Qing didn't stand out from the crowd, and casually tampered with Jia Baoyu's title for the garden. First, he wants to restore a memory of the Grand View Garden as perfectly as possible, and second, I have to say that although Jia Baoyu doesn't like to study, he is quite accomplished in these elegant things such as poetry and music, and he can be regarded as an elegant person.
Therefore, such an important place name as Qinfang Pavilion, Jia Qing has not changed.
I don't want to just look at a few places, and someone will come to say that "the people from the Mansion of the Restoration Kingdom have come to invite ......"
Jia Qing had no choice but to go.
It's just that Jia Qing is afraid that Jia Zheng will take his Qingke to give some "nonsense" names, and he will not be able to refute Jia Zheng's face at that time. Therefore, before leaving, he proposed Jia Zheng:
Second Brother Bao has made great progress in knowledge recently, why didn't the second uncle call him in, first Brother Bao, as the younger brother of the eldest sister, is the most appropriate to give the title to the various scenery in the garden. Second, the second uncle can also take the opportunity to teach, wouldn't it be good?
Jia Zheng originally wanted to wait for Jia Qing to come back and then discuss this matter, after all, the garden was built by Jia Qing, and he was not good at self-control. After listening to Jia Qing's words, he immediately became moved, and it was Jia Qing's own proposal, so he adopted it.
didn't think about it, this time, I found that Jia Baoyu is quite talented in this way, but it doesn't seem to be under Jia Qing, and the name of the question is really not insulting, so I took my usual dislike of Jia Baoyu three or four points......
Without further ado.
It was only said that Jia Mu and the others were sitting in the Qinfang Pavilion to rest and gossip, and suddenly heard the maids say: Second Master Qing is here.
And take the initiative to get out of the way.
"My grandson heard that my ancestor came out to visit the garden today, and my grandson came to escort him."
Sure enough, after the maids and women got out of the way, a sturdy figure walked in quickly and bowed to Jia's mother.
Jia Baoyu next to him was originally holding a bag of bait and feeding the fish in the pond with Lin Daiyu. Hearing Jia Qing's voice, he immediately left Daiyu, walked over to help Jia Qing, and said with a smile: "I was about to ask someone to call you, but I didn't expect you to come." ”
Jia Qing was a little wary of Jia Baoyu's attitude towards him suddenly becoming "affectionate", so he inadvertently pushed his hand away and said: "Then thank you Second Brother Bao for remembering, unlike the old ancestor, I owe it to the filial piety that I think of on weekdays, this is fun, and I don't call me a ......."
Jia Mu pretended to be angry and said, "You still blame me? I'm not looking at you all day long, you are such a naughty ghost, I will take you with me wherever I go. Isn't it good to be able to relieve boredom and run errands for us? If you really want to, then I will call you all the time tomorrow to see what you do. ”
Jia Qing hurriedly surrendered and said: "Don't be angry, Ancestor, it's your grandson talking nonsense, Ancestor, you have a lot, don't take it to heart." ”
Mother Jia looked at Jia Qing for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that you are also a good person, but in fact, you are not really filial!" As soon as I heard that I was going to detain you, my face turned white with fright......"
Jia Qing just smiled and didn't dare to answer.
So Li Kun smiled and said: "Even if he is willing to serve the old lady all day long, the old lady will not be willing." The old lady loves him so much, and he has something to do outside, so why would he be willing to keep holding him and not letting him go back to rest. ”
"You see, he hasn't understood me yet, and when he hears that I'm going to call him, it's like that, which makes people angry and funny."
Jia Mu said crookedly.
Jia Qing wanted to say a few words, but Jia Baoyu didn't want Jia Qing to play vernacular here again, so he pulled him aside, and the sisters looked at the place where the fish and the water were watching, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, why did you think of this name in this place?" I have secretly walked around this garden before, and I have quietly thought about the names of these places, and I also thought about it at night when I went back, and finally I also felt that the word "Qinfang" here could not be perfect!
Tell me how the hell did you get to the same place with me? ”
Jia Qing realized the reason why Jia Baoyu suddenly became affectionate with him, isn't it, because he stole his "idea" and was instead introduced by him as a confidant, right?
"Well, that's what the so-called heroes see, and that's exactly what I think!" Jia Qing said with a grin, not wanting to discuss this topic in depth.
Jia Baoyu believed it, and the sentence "what the hero sees is slightly the same" really said that his heart was gone.
He also learned yesterday that he was able to enter the garden to show his skills the day before yesterday because he was recommended by Jia Qing, and he was grateful at that time. That's right, gratitude.
As he said, he had come into the garden a few days before it was almost finished, and had thought to himself of a number of good names that he thought were a match made in heaven!
was worried that he would not be able to implement these names, and let these good places be polluted by the common names of those Lu beetles outside, and he was suddenly summoned by Jia Zheng into the garden to inscribe names for various places......
He thought it was providence!
It is providence that also allows his good names to be implemented smoothly.
Later, I learned that this was originally Jia Qing's sake. Moreover, even those few places that I didn't go to that day were not inscribed by those Lu beetles, but by Jia Qing.
The most important thing is that when he inquired about these names from elsewhere, he was deeply unable to calm down......
