Because of some distance, the Miao family's land was simply sold for a large sum of money at one time and returned home, bought a few acres of land in the village again, built such a large garden, and took a nice name called "Snow Garden." ”

The snow garden is the size of four football fields, in terms of area alone, it is comparable to Meng Tianchu's house, with red walls and green tiles, pavilions and pavilions, and four small courtyards in a snow garden, which are full of four generations, plus the subordinates and maids, there are probably nearly a hundred people, and it is really lively.

Xue'er welcomed everyone into the door, because Zuo Jiayin had come in advance and knew that there was no need to bring maids and subordinates, so except for Zhu Hao and Li Linjing, they didn't bring anyone.

Four or five children were playing happily in the courtyard, and when they saw a guest coming, they laughed and dispersed. In the end, he is still a child in the countryside, although the food and housing at home are better than those in the city, but after all, he has less knowledge, and he is a little timid.

One of the older children ran to the eaves and hid behind a pillar, just showing a head, and said: "Ruofan, Erniang is looking for you, where did you go to the wilderness, see if Erniang doesn't clean you up." ”

Lin Ruofan immediately said: "I'm going to deliver shoes to Miss's guests, and I'll go to Erniang." With that, he walked briskly to a courtyard on the left.

Meng Tianchu looked at Lin Ruofan's back, and an inexplicable feeling came to his heart.

Xue'er walked to Meng Tianchu's side, saw his expression, and said, "Originally, when Ruofan came, I said that I would accompany me in my room, but she said that she liked Rui'er in Erniang's room. I have to take care of it, I think she really likes it, so I agreed, in fact, Erniang is very good to Ruofan, don't listen to my little brother's nonsense. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I have already caused you a lot of trouble, besides, I am the most relieved if I put it here for you." ”

Xue'er smiled and said, "Master Meng rest assured. Ruofan is a hard-working woman. Same with me. The child died less than ten days after birth, and when her father-in-law brought her to the house, she was still in a trance, and lived with me for some days, and I also enlightened her every day, and she got a lot better. So when you meet her, she's actually a different person. ”

Meng Tianchu didn't expect that during the time she left Lin Ruofandi, she had actually experienced so much, and she didn't know anything, and when she thought of her suffering, she felt a little annoyed.

Xia Fengyi walked up to Meng Tianchu and said, "Don't worry too much, Ruofan is a strong woman. She doesn't want you to know. I probably don't want you to worry and feel sorry for her, isn't everything okay now? Besides, today is Cher's birthday. Let's not ruin the fun. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded, a smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth, and said, "What Feng Yi said is, she is good, what are we worried about?" Don't want to, let's go. ”

Xue'er smiled and welcomed Meng Tianchu and the others to the second courtyard, only to see the door written: "Mei Xueyuan"

Meng Tianchu said: "Xue'er, last time Jiayin said that you came here for a few days, I didn't want to go back to live, saying that you have poetry everywhere here, and there is an artistic conception everywhere, I saw it, and it was also excellent, so your 'Meixue Pavilion' is naturally not taken at random, right?" ”

Xue'er smiled and said, "Meng Ye, such a smart person, naturally you don't need Xue'er to say it, you know a lot?" ”

Meng Tianchu laughed, then pointed to Xue'er beside him, and sighed: "Meng is really lucky, there are either beautiful women or talented women around him, I am afraid that these seemingly simple three words are really going to be admitted to Meng." ”

Zuo Jiayin walked to Meng Tianchu's side, and said with a smile: "At first, I also thought about it for a long time, after all, there are not many people who put plum blossoms and snow together to write poems, and Xue'er naturally has a meaning in these three words, so it also made me guess for a long time." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Let's guess the good news for a long time, so wouldn't I, Meng Tianchu, have to guess for a year and haven't guessed." ”

Everyone stood in front of the door and pondered, stepped forward gently, and chanted at the exit: "Mei Xue is not willing to descend in the spring, and the pen fee of the Pavilion is commented." The plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses the plum and a piece of fragrance. There is plum without snow and no spirit, and there is snow without plum vulgarity. The sunset poem is full of snow and snow, and the plum is very spring. ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at Gentleness, and said gently: "These two poems were written by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Lu Meipo, and he wrote very few poems in his life, so it's not surprising that I don't know him." ”

Xue'er immediately said happily: "The second lady is really amazing! I'll let you guess it. ”

looked at Meng Tianchu gently, and found that he was also looking at him with approving eyes like everyone else, so he just smiled humbly and said, "I'm just guessing." ”

Everyone entered the yard, and found that the pomegranate flowers that were all over the yard were completely different from before, this yard planted a lot of plum and red plum, probably the owner deliberately wanted to reflect the meaning of those three words, and there were also some amaranth and seeds, because the plum blossoms are not yet in season, so the yard is just a color of white, but it also looks elegant.

"This yard is the smallest of the four, but it's also my favorite, because there are only a few unmarried girls living in this yard, and there's me. ”

Everyone looked around curiously, there was a small pond in the yard, and the lotus flowers in the pond were blooming just right, which was probably the only pink in the yard.

Meng Tianchu said: "You are all daughters' families, it is really inappropriate for me to live in this courtyard as a big man, and it is not convenient for you, Xue'er, you should find me a random place, just have a place for a man to live." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard it, and Xue'er said with a smile: "There is really no other place, the courtyard behind is divided into four small courtyards, which are where my father and three aunts, as well as my uncle and several of his wives and wives live, as well as their children and personal maids." The rest of the courtyard was occupied by the servants and the maids. ”

Meng Tianchu smiled bitterly and said, "That's it, fortunately, it's only a few days, otherwise I will become Brother Bao and roll in the rouge pile every day, it will be really inappropriate." ”

Xue'er was stunned and asked, "Who is Meng Ye's brother Bao?" ”

Meng Tianchu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:

That's it. Where do I have any treasure brother. ”

Xue'er led everyone to a separate small courtyard that had been arranged in advance, with the words "Three Friends of the Cold" written on the door, and there were four little maids standing at the door.

Xue'er said: "This separate yard was originally lived by my little sister, second cousin, and third cousin, but now they are all married, and they have been empty. ”

When you open the door, it's really a delicate little house. There are a total of four individual rooms. In front of the door, some low ground shrubs were planted. The bushes had a few small purple flowers that I couldn't name, but they had a faint fragrance.

Gently pointed to the easternmost room: "That's mine, Granny Li, bring my luggage, and then come with me a maid and give me washing water." Li Linjing and a maid next to him hurriedly followed. Meng Tianchu was about to stop it, but Xia Fengyi said in a low voice: "Young Master, let her be." ”

Feiyan looked at it and said, "But there are only four rooms, which is not enough to live." ”

Xue'er was about to speak, Zuo Jiayin said: "It doesn't matter, I live with Feiyan, and the young master lives with the eldest lady." Isn't it just right for Zhu Hao and Li Linjing to occupy a room? ”

Xia Fengyi said: "Where to make it." Your body is inconvenient now, and it is not easy to sleep well, I live with Feiyan. You live with your husband. ”

Xue'er said: "It seems that I haven't thought it through, or I live alone, just next door, let Sister Jiayin go with me, there is an empty bed in my room, it used to be my Sanniang's child who lived with me for some days, and recently got sick, so I went to her mother's side." ”

As everyone was talking, they saw that Wen Rou had changed into a clean skirt and jumped out, and saw that everyone was still standing outside, so he said, "Isn't it hot outside?" Why don't you go into the room yet? ”

Meng Tianchu glanced at Gentle without anger, and said in a low voice: "If I wasn't worried about disturbing Xue'er's rest, I would like to hang you on the locust tree outside the door and let you come to the tree as a bed naturally!" ”

Everyone laughed secretly, gentle but didn't understand, and said aggrievedly: "What's wrong with me? ”

Zuo Jiayin took Xue'er's hand and said to Meng Tianchu: "Sister Xue'er and I haven't talked together for a long time, I'll stay there, and you can sleep more comfortably, okay, let's go over and wash our faces and change our clothes first, and then come over to you." ”

After speaking, he smiled at Meng Tianchu and pulled Xue'er away.

Meng Tianchu pointed at the gentleness and said something, Xia Fengyi pulled him with a smile, and said as she walked: "Then we will live next door to the second lady, let's go, let the maid fetch water for the husband to wash his face and change his clothes, your body is full of sweat." ”

Gentleness stood behind him and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.

I just ate a little bit at noon, because the evening is the feast, after everyone eats, many people go back to their rooms to take a nap, Meng Tianchu is lying next to Xia Fengyi, his eyes are closed, Xia Fengyi leans on the head of the bed and fans him, but he didn't expect that after a while, he fell asleep first.

Meng Tianchu carefully put Xia Fengyi on the bed, so that she could sleep more comfortably, and then pulled the corner of the quilt to cover Xia Fengyi's belly, looking at Xia Fengyi sleeping sweetly, Meng Tianchu couldn't help but kiss her pink face, there was a cool breeze blowing outside the window from time to time, but Meng Tianchu was not sleepy, he decided to go out for a walk.

In the summer of Jiangnan Meng, Ci bamboo shoots are like weaving. The mirage is the pavilion, and the frog is the orchestra. In this way, the air is not all heat and cicadas, but there is also a moist and flowery wind passing by.

Meng Tianchu walked in the yard, there were low-hanging willows on both sides of the road, he immediately felt cool when he walked under the tree, and when he walked to the end of the courtyard, there was actually a small door, but it was still open, Meng Tianchu stood at the door and looked, there was a small river not far away, he thought that it was noon at the moment, most of the people were taking a nap in the house, why didn't he go to the river to take a refreshing cool bath, thinking of this, Meng Tianchu was happy, and walked quickly to the river.

Came to the river, sure enough, the river water was cool to the bottom, the reeds on both sides of the river grew more than one person tall, and no one should see it when he took a bath here, so he found a bluestone slab and sat down, and was about to take off his shoes, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming to this side, it seemed to be a girl, he quickly got up and flashed into the reeds, after all, this yard is still where his daughter lives, if others see a man here, it is not good to misunderstand.

At this time, the footsteps were near, Meng Tianchu hid in the reeds, and saw a woman coming over, because he was lying on his stomach, he could only see the woman's skirt and a pair of small feet, he didn't dare to look up, for fear that the reeds would make a sound, so there was no way to explain.

I saw that the woman sat on the stone slab where Meng Tianchu was sitting before, and this time, the distance between the woman and him was close, and she faintly smelled the faint fragrance of the woman's body.

The woman took off a pair of embroidered shoes and looked around carefully.

Meng Tianchu hurriedly lowered his head and hid behind the reeds.

The woman was sure that there was no one around, and slowly took off her dress one by one and put it on the bluestone. The hairpin of his hair was removed, and in an instant, a green silk was scattered around his waist like a waterfall.

Meng Tianchu didn't dare to come out, he didn't expect that there would be a woman who was more courageous than himself who would swim naked by the river under the blue sky and white sun. Now I can't go out, or I'll really become a disciple and a big pervert.

Even so, Meng Tianchu still held back the wild beat in his heart, swallowed hard, and stared at the woman's smooth back without blinking, only to see her snow-white and smooth skin, slender waist, round buttocks, and slender legs, just like the beginning of "Nine Songs-Yunzhongjun" sang: "Yulan soup is full of fragrance, and the colorful clothes are like Ying." The spirit is curled up, and the rotten is not clear. These four sentences are actually describing the séance of a witch, and it is very appropriate to use it on this woman at this moment.
