Chapter 19 I heard that Lin Daiyu entered Beijing
Jia Qing came out of Jia Jing's study and went directly back to his courtyard, which was Yipintang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After entering the courtyard, he didn't alarm anyone else, so he went directly to the flower hall. It is said to be a flower hall, but it is actually a small courtyard without a roof, located in the northeast corner of Yipintang.
Now the flower hall is very different from two months ago, two months ago, there were only a few more than ten pots of flowers in the flower hall, of which only two pots are treasures, a pot of peonies, a pot of orchids.
And now in the flower hall, there are all kinds of flowers. There are plum blossoms in the top ten famous flowers of Chinese classics; Chrysanthemum of Frost of Independence; Magnificent Camellia ......
There are also other precious and rare flowers, one of which is the most favored by Jia Qing.
Most of these potted flowers are just seedlings and skewers, and they have grown well after being carefully cultivated by Jia Qing and the maids in the yard.
Half of the reason for planting so many flowers is a hobby to pass the time, and the other half is because he is ready to be of great use.
If I remember correctly, there are many scenes of various rare flowers in the Red Mansion, which means that there are many people who love flowers and cherish flowers in this world. And the people who can have leisure and leisure to raise flowers are mostly rich and noble, which is exactly the object he wants to befriend.
Of course, with the flowers he has raised now, carefully pruned and carefully cultivated, they are only worth a few taels of silver at most, and they are of little use to him.
But if he can use some modern methods to breed some varieties that are more unique than the original flowers, and even use the greenhouse to produce winter flowers in the summer, wouldn't it be precious? He believed that the ancients might have had such methods, but they must have been very simple and could not be compared with him. At that time, whether it is given away or sold to those who love flowers, it will be very useful.
It's still too early to think about this, his flowers are still in the initial stage of cultivation, and it is still early to cultivate 'strange flowers', and he is still preparing for related matters.
After tossing in the flower hall for a while, Pei Feng and other maids also heard the news.
As soon as they entered the door, Jia Qing said, "There is not enough mud for raising flowers, which of you will go and fill a bucket again?" ”
No one answered, and the last little girl silently left with a mud bucket and a small shovel to dig in Huifangyuan.
"You guys are too lazy one by one, last time it was someone Jin'er who dug the mud, and this time I asked someone to ...... it."
The other four maids in the courtyard are called Jin'er, Bottle, Mei'er, and Lian'er, all of which were taken by Jia Qing.
"We don't do such dirty work as dredging, if the second master feels sorry for Jin'er, why don't you go by yourself? I prefer to call us, huh! ”
This is Pei Feng's counterattack. These maids are very bold, especially this Peifeng.
However, Jia Qing was also used to it, so he didn't think it was wrong, he just shook his head with a smile, and then said: "Come and see, is this pot of begonia flowers pruned by me well?" ”
This pot of flowers was sent in by Li Yan last time, and it was still blooming with pink flowers at that time, but it was about to fail, so it was still the most expensive pot of flowers, and it cost a full tael of silver to buy it back from the gardener. When Li Yan came in, he was still afraid of Jia Qing's scolding......
As soon as this pot of begonias arrived, Jia Qing couldn't put it down, but he cut two branches and grafted them in two months, and he wanted to expand the cultivation.
When the maids heard this, they gathered around, and saw that the thick branches that were originally carried in were now only bare, and now the top was also cut off, and it was placed on the ground miserably.
"The second master really loves to spoil flowers, and he has been made like this."
"It's just, it really shouldn't be!"
"Poor flower~"
......
Jia Qing originally wanted to listen to praise, but when he heard a series of complaints, his heart suddenly became unbalanced: "What do you know? This is good, this is called removing the top advantage, and it will look good in the future, it is really a group of creatures with long hair and short knowledge......"
The last sentence offended the anger of the crowd, and the waist was grabbed by countless hands, and then spun.
"Ahh If I hit my flowers, I will sell you to pay for it~"
It's good now, originally it was just the waist that was ravaged, and now the ears are also poisoned.
"Ah, let it go, it hurts~ Good sisters, I was wrong, please let it go, I won't dare to do it in the future."
A good show of child abuse ends with someone begging for mercy, and the maids prove by their actions that not only do they have long hair, but also... The unchanging truth that the hand is also long!
frolicked with the girls for a while, and after a while, Jin Er also returned, and Jia Qing led the maids to start the potted pruning and transplanting conference.
Walking around among the fragrant maids, one will point to this, and the other will talk about that, so unhappy and leisurely.
"Second Master Qing, the little guy at the second gate has sent a message, saying that there is something to report."
A mother-in-law's voice came from the corridor, destroying Jia Qing's elegance, and said angrily: "Got it, you go down...... Wait", he turned to Xiluan and said, "Go and get a handful of money for this mother-in-law, she is not from our hospital, so I don't have to let people say that we don't understand the rules." Hearing this, Xiluan hurriedly went out.
Jia Qing also packed up and walked towards the second gate.
As soon as he came out of the second gate, he saw Wang Shun waiting there. Seeing Jia Qing come out, he ran up with a smoke and whispered, "There is news about what the second master wants us to listen to." ”
Jia Qing didn't react for a while, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's the matter of Miss Xibianbiao's entry into Beijing!"
Jia Qing suddenly realized, and hurriedly asked, "You mean that Sister Lin has already entered Beijing?" ”
"Not yet, I heard Zhang Youcai say that there was a quick report from Malaysia in the morning, saying that the boat that picks up people in Yangzhou is close to the capital, and it is expected to arrive in the afternoon."
"Great, let's go, Wang Shun, let's take a look!"
Jia Qing jumped up and commanded Wang Shun loudly.
Wang Shun didn't expect Jia Qing to be so excited, and hurriedly persuaded: "Second master, you haven't had lunch yet, besides, Miss Cousin won't arrive until the afternoon." ”
"You know what, what if you miss it? Where can I not eat? Less nonsense, go! ”
As he spoke, he turned back to the mother-in-law who was guarding the second gate and instructed: "In case my maid comes to ask me later, she will say that I have gone out and will not come back for lunch." "The mother-in-law is busy.
Then Jia Qing urged Wang Shun out of Ningguo's mansion.
Coming to the east end of the busy Ningrong Street, Jia Qing took Wang Shun to find a tea shed on the side of the street and sit down, ready to wait for the rabbit.
I met Lin Ruhai in Yangzhou last time, but I didn't see Lin Daiyu, and it is expected that I may still be in my hometown in Suzhou at that time, and I did not accompany him.
"Young Master, do you know Miss Table? Why do you want to see her so much, and besides, she will come over in a sedan chair later, and we can't see anyone. ”
Can't see people? Lin Daiyu is a six or seven-year-old girl, no matter how smart she is, she will always be curious when she comes to Jiafu for the first time, right? He remembered that it was like that in the original book! At that time, the moment she lifted the curtain was the moment when my Jia Daguan saw her face.
"You know what? I didn't want to see it until I saw it, why did I come to see her after seeing it? ”
Wang Shun opened his small eyes, indicating that he couldn't understand the nature of where the second master came from.
Jia Qing ignored Wang Shun, who was a little reluctant, he was very interested, turned around and said loudly: "Shopkeeper, come to two cups of West Lake Longjing!" ”
The old man who sold tea ran over and replied: "This young man, our shop is small, and there is no West Lake Longjing." ”
"Why don't you even have a West Lake Longjing... Forget it, Uncle Ben is wronged, what do you have here? "An upstart tone.
Of course, the store didn't dare to say anything, so he had to say: "There are coarse tea, white tea, spring tea, and chrysanthemum tea......
"Stop, let's have two bowls of spring tea! Wang Shun, see it, it's not that the second master is stingy and reluctant to give you good tea to eat, it's really a last resort, I have wronged you. ”
Wang Shun didn't know which tendon the second master was wrong today, so he asked the shop to serve tea quickly.
There were two young men sitting across a table from Jia Qing, and one of them, a young man dressed as a scholar, said to his companions: "Brother Xianglian, there are too many gentlemen in this Beijing, we can meet one when we come out to sit and sit at will, I really want to teach how to respect people!" ”
Another person persuaded: "That's it, Brother Wude, you have entered Beijing to participate in the next imperial examination." Not far ahead is Rongning Erfu, this son-in-law may be a child of the Jia family, why should Brother Wude make extraneous branches? ”
