Chapter 160: In the Hug Pavilion
Since even Aunt Zhu returned, the servants and maids of the Taishi Mansion finally had a sense of awe for their new grandmother, and some of them had begun to greet Qingping and other maids who scolded the garden, even if some still held a wait-and-see attitude, they did not dare to openly slander again, and took out the deferential attitude that they should have even if Lan Ting had a period of recuperation, temporarily living in the study room of the outer courtyard to prepare for the final sprint before the exam, and most of them usually did not appear in the garden.
The days seem to be really relaxed, in addition to feeling quite difficult in the matter of getting up in the morning, most of the time she enjoys the relaxation and comfort of a fish in water, she temporarily focuses her mind on learning to play the piano, first, she is really interested in this kind of "long things", and secondly, because the second uncle and grandmother are indeed a strict teacher.
A piano lesson on the 10th is also a small test on the 10th, and the second uncle and grandmother asked the servant woman to hold the ruler when she returned, and warned Chungui that if she slacked off, she would not show mercy.
Therefore, on this day, it coincided with the piano lesson, although it was not yet the time for the second uncle and grandmother to teach, but the spring return was prepared early, and even the fourth lady invited her to go to the garden barbecue such an interesting activity was ruthlessly shirked, and decided to wait for the arrival of the uncle and grandmother in the garden. But I didn't expect there to be an emergency, it was the maid next to my sister-in-law Lan Xin, Chun Gui remembered that the name Jianbi came to invite, with a sweet smile on her white face, and she was also respectful when she saw her.
"The slave maid was sent by the second girl, and I invited the eldest grandmother to go to the Hugyou Pavilion."
Hug Youguan is the boudoir of Lan Xin's sister, located in the west of the garden, that piece is distributed with the beautiful courtyard, it can be said that the most elegant and beautiful scenery in the entire Taishi Mansion is also the most secluded place, although there are actually only two girls in the Taishi Mansion, but it is a pity that such a big garden is completely idle, so when Zhao Taishi was still alive, he decided to let the ladies in the clan live in the garden, and also invited the female teacher to teach the girl, the girls learn and play in one place, to enhance the sisterhood, and then the garden also seems more lively.
So not only the second uncle and the ancestors and so on a few rooms, there are more remote branches, when the girl reaches a certain age can be sent to live in the garden, the boudoir will be demarcated in the west of the garden, such as Lanting, Lantai and other children, usually rarely set foot in the girls' territory, spring return as a bride, although there is no need to avoid anything but there is no time to go there to play, so she heard that Sister Lanxin had invited when she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"I seem to have heard that the second sister invited a lot of ladies to the family for a banquet today,
Why do you have time to think of me? ”
Since entering the Taishi Mansion, although Chungui has not been troubled by the legendary Lanxin girl who is extremely difficult to get along with, but through the experience of meeting the old lady in the Hesitant Garden several times, Chungui vaguely realized that this sister-in-law was quite indifferent to her, especially after the incident of Aunt Zhu, the sister-in-law almost never had any conversation with her, and I don't know if it was because of her anger.
Today she still heard the old lady mention that Sister Lanxin was going to entertain guests in the Hugyu Pavilion, and drank and talked with the girls of several relatives and friends at a party, which is also a common pastime for ladies in Beijing, but generally married women are not allowed to participate, and even the second lady, the housewife, will help provide material use, and Chungui did not expect it to be related to herself at all.
But I heard Jian Bi respond: "It's the second girl who has encountered some troubles, and it is inconvenient to bother the elders, thinking that fortunately, now that there is a sister-in-law of the eldest grandmother, it is better than getting along with the elders and aunts, so I asked the slave to come and ask the eldest grandmother to go to help solve the siege." However, as for what troubles Sister Lan Xin encountered, Jian Bi was vague and hesitant.
Chungui people don't think about the bad first, guessing that maybe the sister-in-law has encountered some social problems, and is afraid that it will be more embarrassing for the people to know, so Jianbi is not easy to say in front of Qingping and them. She thought that Lan Xin was Lan Ting's only sister-in-law after all, so it was easy to take the initiative to invite her, she couldn't be arrogant and cold as a sister-in-law, and this trip couldn't be shirked no matter what.
didn't even bring Qingping and other maidservants with her, and there was something to make Qingping feel relieved before returning in spring: "You don't have to go out, you go to the boudoir in the garden, although there are indeed many outsiders today, and they are all beautiful women, where are these taboo precautions." ”
She really put her mind open-minded, and she didn't have any conspiracy and tricks for such a little girl who had never been in time for Lan Xin, so she went with Jianbi, but it was not the main gate of the garden, and the spring return was only to know that there was a corner gate in the northwest of the garden that could lead directly to the garden boudoir, and the girls used to come to the old lady to say hello are all taken this shortcut, and this shortcut is only accessible to female dependents, not to mention foreign men, even Lan Ting and other children will also deliberately avoid it, so as to save the precepts of the current male and female defense.
The Hug Youguan is located in the northwest corner of the door about more than 200 steps of the territory, the white wall is surrounded by green bamboo, the embroidery building is faintly visible in the middle between the green barriers, but Jianbi is to the east side, go in the direction of the embroidery building, after a moon gate, gradually hear the sound of laughter, it turns out that the girls are planted around a circle
Orchid's pavilion party, spring return, her sister-in-law Lan Xin sister is wearing a pink jacket skirt, is smiling and chanting and talking to the little girl who is sitting next to her, the girl looks at the makeup has been in time, obviously older than Lan Xin's sister, but she does not smile or speak, and her body exudes a square momentum, which seems to be a little bit less than the majesty of the place.
If you don't look at your face, it looks like a generation apart.
There is no way to guess what the identity of this girl sitting in the distinguished guest seat is Chungui, but she realized the two spying eyes, and when she responded, she saw that it was another girl who had also reached the end of her life, with a green vine scroll embroidered on the white-collared jacket with light water pink, a red background flower and leaf embroidered skirt, silk eyebrows and eyes, and the double swallow fat was evenly smeared, very standard appearance, but for some reason Chungui always felt that her eyes were flickering, and it seemed to be a little inexplicably surprised.
In addition to a few of these girls, Chungui didn't know anyone, and at this time he also noticed that Sister Lan Xin didn't look like she had encountered any social problems, and was wondering about the intention of inviting herself to go here, and saw that the maid Jianbi was like a different face, where was there a little respectful attitude, she raised her head and rolled her white eyes, and left the words "waiting here" in a rough voice, and then left her to walk into the pavilion, and didn't know what she whispered to the girls, Sister Lan Xin glanced at it casually, Laughing and laughing with her guests as usual.
The ill-intentioned intentions were quite obvious, and Chungui couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Uncle Zhao's words are true, not exaggerated at all, his sister who is a fellow mother is really arrogant and rude, I am afraid that only Uncle Zhao, the brother, can be sloppy and subdued.
Chungui doesn't have to worry about her sister-in-law, and she can be tolerant of a few words of ridicule by a few white eyes in another scene, but Miss Lanxin is so contemptuous of her sister-in-law in front of so many guests, she may still be smug, thinking that only Chungui is laughed at, and she doesn't notice the overall lintel of the Zhao family in the capital, especially she herself is the most damaged.
The arrogant and disrespectful eldest sister-in-law can't have a good reputation, no matter how noble the background is, even the princess of this dynasty is the emperor's daughter, but she has to succumb to the virtue of obedience and filial piety, and she can't be too ostentatious as she wants.
was calculated and had to plan for the other party, Chungui felt as if she was indeed aggrieved, she didn't have the consciousness to accept it, but who owed Lan Ting a lot of favors?
Sister-in-law, second sister, this time I will willingly round the field for you, but you'd better not have a next time.
