Chapter 39: Into the Front Yard

After noon, after Wan Ying came back from the flower room, she asked the maid to take off her clothes, spread her hair in a bun, and go to bed to rest.

No, she slept until the fourth master sent someone to deliver the message.

"Gege, Lord Belle has sent a message to you to go to the front yard for dinner. There was still half an hour before it was time for Lord Belle to finish his meal. Chunhua hooked up the gauze tent with a wishful knot and said to Wanying, who was still confused.

Wan Ying lazily changed her posture, and couldn't help but say in her heart: Hey, it's not easy to be a concubine! Always at your disposal!

"Gege, get up. You can't let Lord Belle wait for you, can you? Chunhua had no choice but to reach out and uncover the thin jacket on Wan Ying's body, and pulled Wan Ying, who was still on the bed and refused to get up.

"Chunhua, let me stare at it for a while!" Wan Ying still closed her eyes, and her whole person still fell backwards.

"Gege, I really can't sleep. Didn't you tell your slaves and maidservants that if you want to live a good life, you have to fight? Now that Lord Belle has sent someone to spread the word, why don't you want to get up again? Chunhua said anxiously.

This sentence is like a basin of cold water, which immediately extinguishes the sleepiness of the person on the bed!

That's right! The concubine's duty is to compete for favor, otherwise where will she live a good life?

Wan Ying sat up with a grunt, and the thoughts that had just come to her mind to be lazy immediately exploded like colorful bubbles.

"No, when the master left at noon, didn't he say that he wouldn't come for dinner?" Wan Ying thought of the words of a certain four and said.

"Yes, but I didn't say it, don't go to the front yard to eat!" Chunhua said helplessly and funny.

Luguo rummaged through the wardrobe and took out a pale pink flag costume embroidered with a hundred butterflies and flowers and brought it to Wan Ying; Qing Ya was holding the set of pearl head boxes that the fourth master rewarded him with last time.

"What are you doing here?" Wan Ying was a little frightened when she saw their formation.

"Gege, this is the first time Lord Belle has asked you to go to the front yard. Don't you dress up? Chunhua said, "Compete for favor, but also have an attitude of competing for favor!" ”

Burst!

Wan Ying snorted and almost laughed, as if she had only said this once in front of her, but she didn't expect to be perfectly thrown to herself by this girl.

"The clothes are fine, but the head is too pompous. The two compete with each other, but they fall into clichés. You can change my clothes for me, but keep it simple. Wan Ying said, "Besides, Ah Cai's matter has not been concluded for a day, and Lord Belle's suspicion of Ming Yuexuan has not completely disappeared in a day. At this time, it is not easy to act in a high-profile manner. ”

At that time, after the fourth master rested, he had been talking about the affairs of the government with a few staff members in the study.

After talking for more than an hour, the fourth master sent them down.

He saw that it was not yet time for dinner, and remembered the errand that Kangxi had explained, so he simply drew it in the study.

Drawing and drawing, the fourth master remembered the painting he made in the pavilion that day, so he asked Su Peisheng to find it and hang it.

Looking at the paper kite in the painting, he remembered Dong's extremely beautiful and extremely vivid face.

"Lord Belle, is the meal list as usual, or is it ......" Su Peisheng stood beside the fourth master and asked cautiously.

"Let Dong come a little. You know what she likes, and you don't know what she likes. The fourth master sat in the circle chair, holding a pen in his hand, and a puddle of water was drawn on the rice paper spread out in front of the table.

Su Peisheng hesitated in his heart, and said in his heart: Dong Gege is amazing, this is what makes Lord Baylor worry about it.

"Yes, the slave will wait for Dong Gege to come, and then let Xiao Zhaozi order food." Su Peisheng hurriedly said.

At this moment, there was a sound of small footsteps outside, which should have been from the small pillar at the door.

Sure enough, Wan Ying had already arrived and was waiting in the gatehouse. Anyone who comes to the front yard is not allowed to enter without the permission of the fourth master, and even Fujin has to be reported.

"Little rabbit, why don't you go and invite Dong Gege in." Su Peisheng saw the fourth master's expression and hurriedly scolded.

Blame him for this, he should go to the porter to explain it.

The fourth master is so rare as Mingyue Xuan, he should want to get it.

Wan Ying was led by the little eunuch, holding Chunhua's hand all the way, bypassing the wall shadow, and walking into the verandah on the right.

Just when she was at the gate, Wan Ying saw that the gate of the fourth master's front yard was facing southeast. The courtyard gate is the passage into the energy, where the air outlet is located, and usually the southeast door is the norm.

The southeast corresponds to the acquired gossip Xun position, Xun is the wind, and it is the direction of attracting wealth and treasure, so there is a saying that "it is difficult to buy the southeast if you have money".

When you enter the gate, there is a wall shadow eight zhang wide and three zhang high. The shadow of the wall depicts four dragons, with the dragon's head facing in the center and the dragon's tail spreading out in all directions.

Walking into the verandah, you will have an unobstructed view of the layout of the front yard.

I saw that the end of the verandah was a three-door house facing the wall shadow.

An acre of square pond was dug in front of the house, and lotus leaves were planted in it.

Before Wan Ying could see the trees around, she and Chunhua had already followed the little eunuch through a few verandahs and turned in front of another big house.

"Lord Belle invites Gege in, there is no need to report." The eunuch at the door said while opening the door for Wan Ying.

Chunhua was left outside, and the little eunuch only let Wanying go in alone.

The floor of the bluestone bricks is polished to an extremely flat level, and the room is very well lit.

On the wall opposite the door hangs a black wooden plaque with the words "Zhengqingzhai" written on it.

On the left and right is a sandalwood couplet. On the left is "a hundred-foot high, which can withstand a round of moonlight"; On the right is "Counting the rafters of the low house, unable to lock the sound of books for five nights".

Below the couplet are several cases in the shape of a long strip, on which are placed some ornaments: Pixiu, jade gourd, golden cicada and other common things in the house to ward off evil spirits and gather qi.

"What are you looking at?" The fourth master stood at the door of the inner room expressionlessly, looking at Wan Yingdao.

Su Peisheng, who was standing behind the fourth master, said secretly: Dong's return can arouse the curiosity of the fourth master, it is really wonderful.

"The concubine looked at the words on the couplet, as well as the name on the plaque, and was attracted by the style of this word for a while." Wan Ying immediately said nonsense.

Of course, she couldn't tell the fourth master that she was looking at the feng shui ornaments in this room just now.

"Come in!" When the fourth master turned around, the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose up, and he walked inside.

Wan Ying hurriedly followed, and as soon as she stepped in, she saw Su Peisheng giving her an admiring look, and couldn't help but discuss: I didn't do anything just now? What does Grandpa Su's eyes mean?

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the painting that was hung on the wall by the fourth master. The painting is a courtyard forest, trees and flowers, and strange rocks. And a paper kite in the sky.

"You can have some dinner with Chunhua. You don't have to stay here to wait. The fourth master glanced at Su Peisheng and said.

Su Peisheng was stabbed all over, and hurriedly hooked his waist and turned around and went out. He felt that the look in Lord Baylor's eyes just now was clearly disgusted that he was an eyesore here!!
