Chapter 13 Brother Mao
On the north side of the courtyard, there are several peach blossom trees. At this time, it was March, and it was the flowering period of the peach blossoms, and the light pink peach blossoms were layered and bent the branches.
The dark blue fescue grass is covered with light pink petals.
When the wind blows, flowers fly in the sky.
In front of the peach blossom tree is a swing made of ironwood, with carved handrails and backrests.
The swing is made into a comfortable rocking chair style, and the chair is also fixed with a thin cushion embroidered with pink peach blossoms, and the petals that blow off fall on it, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake!
Reluctant to get tired of the peach blossoms full of trees, the swing is fixed to the ground with an iron frame, which is extraordinarily firm.
This area is the woman's rest area!
There is a pond outside the window behind the shop. The wall next to the store in the backyard was torn down and a small water pavilion was built outward.
It's just that this water pavilion is slightly higher than the ground of the ordinary water pavilion, and it is made into a low couch style half a meter above the ground, and a stone couch about five meters long and seven or eight meters wide protrudes from the house to the water.
On the outside of the stone couch, the stone pillar is borrowed to stand on the water surface, which has the style of "smelling the water pavilion with the fragrance of flowers, and controlling the mountain building with reflection"!
The weather in the capital is pleasant all year round, and at ordinary times, the water pavilion can be used to enjoy the cool scenery.
The coldest time in winter in Beijing is only half a month. The stone couch of the water pavilion is hollow, and there is a stove with a flue leading to the backyard on one side.
In winter, you can burn the couch to keep warm, so comfortable!
A thin layer of bamboo mats was laid on the couch, and a tea table and a legless chair were placed on the chair, and the chair back was also cushioned with soft lotus embroidery cushions in smoke pink.
Sitting on the couch, lighting a cigarette, making a pot of tea, leaning on the cushion, through the fine bead curtain, through the poolside water pavilion, you can vaguely see the green mountains in the distance and the clear water in the distance.
Although the pond next to the water pavilion is not big, the water is clear, and the pond is planted with porcelain white and smoke pink lotus flowers, and groups of koi swim under the lotus leaves, among which there are several fat and huge carp.........
Well, that's right! Indeed, it was the carp!
It was Qi Luo's special trip to the market to buy it.
Good barbecue!
……………
On one side of the pond planted a few magnolia trees, the magnolia trees are about to bloom, the branches are full of buds, the snow white crystal seems to be carved from the jade, at this time it has not yet bloomed, the breeze blows, sending the fragrance of flowers.
There are four houses in the backyard, and Qi Luo originally wanted to give two of them to Xue Niangzi and her mother-in-law to live in.
But in order to take care of her mother-in-law conveniently, Mrs. Xue only needed one of them.
After it is completely cleaned up, Shopkeeper Xue can officially move into Yuexinju.
Only the walls of the shop are painted with white lime, and the floor is paved with bluestone slabs.
Many things have not yet been there, and they are empty.
"Do you think there's anything else you can put in it?" Qi Luo asked everyone with a smile.
"County Lord, Lily feels that this soft couch is underway. How about a footstool? ”
"A table on a soft couch where you can put something delicious." Qiu Yue grinned and said with a smile.
"You can also put a set of Go on the table."
"You can put an incense burner on the couch."
"A small tea stove is also needed." Everyone began to add it with a gossip.
Everyone was talking, but they saw the British Duke pushing the door with a group of small servants.
"Luo Bao'er, you have to put Brother Mao!"
The British princess went down to court, and this hurried to Yuexinju. I also brought a very beautiful colorful parrot.
But as a parrot, it's really fat!
Unlike the common parrot, this parrot is oval, short, and stocky, with a bright blue feathers, feathers, and flying feathers on its head.
The inner feather is composed of many slender feathers, and on both sides of the feathers are densely packed rows of flying feathers, each row of flying feathers is different in color, one layer is crimson, one layer is bright yellow, and one layer is orange-red.
The tail feathers are even more colorful, orange, yellow, green, and blue. The color is very beautiful.
The feathers on the abdomen are soft and fine, with a yellow gradient in color, and a gradient of orange-red at the base of the neck and armpits.
The black and bright mouth is slightly bent downward, and the two black bean-like eyes are dripping and moist and translucent, which is cute.
The parrot is a British public flower to find a lot of money, said to be auspicious, Yizhen store!
The parrot's real name is Yuqi, but the British public feels that it is tongue-twisting, and because of its rich feathers, it was renamed - Brother Mao.
I heard that Brother Mao is very spiritual and can speak.
The British public was full of interest, "Luo Bao'er, come and see!" ”
"Brother Mao, see the county lord quickly!"
Brother Mao...............
All...............
"Brother Mao, I've seen the county lord!" The British public is in a hurry!
Brother Mao...............
"Fool!" Brother Mao finally opened his mouth.
……………
The crowd was silent, and it seemed that they were indeed quite able to speak.
……………
"Puff ........." Qi Luo didn't hold back.
The other people didn't dare to laugh if they wanted to, and they all held back their faces and thick necks, and the British public said that they were a little embarrassed!
Qi Luo stepped forward and shook the sleeve of the British duke's shirt, and interrupted: "Daddy, the birdcage you found is very beautiful!" ”
"No, it's something I've spent a lot of time coming up with!" The British Duke said proudly.
The copper carved birdcage is very exquisite, and each railing is full of carvings.
The top of the cage coiled several multi-layered hollow peonies, and in the peony bush, a copper hook bent into a vine stretched out, and the copper hook was decorated with stretched copper leaves, and the posture was lifelike.
There were two birdcages, and the style was about the same, and the large one was intended to be placed in the courtyard by the British public.
The small bird cage can be placed inside the house at night.
The sink and trough in the birdcage are all made of copper, with two bowls in one trough, round and lovely, and there is a plate flower pattern at the bottom of the trough.
And the bottom of the cage is like that case, made three carved legs. At the bottom of the cage is also decorated with a cluster of copper peonies, and from the side near the cage door, a vine decorated with peony flowers protrudes, a stand for parrots to perch, and a long copper chain hangs on it.
The large birdcage has a one-meter-high copper leg and is placed directly next to the swing frame in the courtyard.
The birdcage placed in the house is made of short copper legs, which is suitable for placing on the table.
Compared to the one outside the house, the small birdcage is a little smaller in each place, light and delicate and easy to reach.
"Brother Mao!"
"Brother Mao!"
The British public is still not giving up.
Not long after, Brother Mao was already lying at the bottom of the cage and fell asleep with his eyes closed, and he didn't wake up no matter how he fiddled.
But why do you sleep lying down?
…………………………
Or lie on your back with a fat belly facing the sky?!
………………………
"Luo Bao'er, you don't have to panic, the store has already said when you buy birds, Brother Mao is smart and tight, so he loves to lie down and sleep." The British Duke stroked his short beard and replied calmly.
…………………………
Daddy, are you really sure this fat man is a bird?
