Chapter 80: Courtyard Scenery
"Miss! You're beautiful! A younger girl exclaimed as she watched the rain fall.
"Yes, yes! Among the ladies in the capital, I have never seen such a beautiful person! Another little girl watched the rain fall like a fan girl.
"No wonder the prince likes Miss, if I were a man, I would love it too!" The little girl just now agreed.
Everyone, you praised me word by word, and I was embarrassed to say that the rain fell.
"Alright! Are we going to stay in this bath all the time! The prince is still waiting for the young lady! A girl who was a little older reminded everyone to walk out with the rain with a smile on their faces.
From Yunxi Pavilion to Gardenia Garden, you need to go through the garden, and when I came just now, I was in a hurry and didn't appreciate it carefully, so I walked around slowly.
There is a large rockery in the middle of the pond in the garden, and the water of this pond is living water, which is also brought in from outside the house, and then led out of the house. Because there is a mountain behind the courtyard of the palace, it is very convenient.
Traces of lotus flowers blooming in summer can be seen in the pond, but now only carp of various colors are still swimming in the pond, perhaps someone passing by, and they gather at the edge of the pond to wait to be fed.
There is a lake pavilion in the middle of the pond, there is a path leading to the outside, and there is a small arch bridge in the middle.
There are promenades on three sides of the garden, and on the other side there are two rows of plum trees, the outer side is enclosed by a white jade balustrade, and in the middle there is an opening for the maids to enter and prune the plum branches in the winter, insert the vase into the house.
This season is already covered in snow, and the weather in the north is even colder, and those plum branches are covered with a thick layer of snow. These plum trees come in three colors, red, yellow, and white, which add a different color to this plain winter.
"Miss, let's go quickly, the prince is waiting!" A maid urged.
"Good!" Yuluo stood outside the railing and broke a white plum before continuing to walk.
Out of the garden, there is a large road leading to the courtyards, which are dotted with rockeries, trees that do not wither in winter, and green pines.
Since Gardenia Garden is the main courtyard of the palace, the main road will soon arrive.
As soon as I entered Gardenia Garden, I smelled the smell of rice, and Yuluo sniffed it vigorously, and then trotted into the house.
The entrance hall is a circular open-air courtyard, and the inner room has no door directly connected to the courtyard.
There was a large round table in the middle, which was already full of delicious dishes, while Nan Yumo was sitting in the guest seat next to him reading a book.
Yuluo opened his mouth wide and looked at the dishes on the table, and couldn't be more surprised.
"Come here!" Nan Yumo waved his hand at the rainfall.
Yuluo walked in front of Nan Yumo, and Nan Yumo took advantage of the situation to pull Yuluo to his lap and sit.
"What are you doing! Let go of so many of me! Yuluo didn't react and sat on Nan Yumo's lap, trying to struggle but was hugged tightly by Nan Yumo.
"Don't look at it unless they don't want to die!" Nan Yumo stared at the rain falling.
Yuluo glanced at the maids and minions next to him, all of them lowered their heads and stared at their toes.
"Sure enough, this dress looks much more pleasing to the eye!" Nan Yumo joked.
"What do you mean, I didn't like you before!" Yuluo glared at Nan Yumo.
"What's the matter, in the past, we were in a distant mountain village, where the folk customs were simple, you and I were all dressed in coarse linen clothes, but it was like a man ploughing and a woman weaving. Today, you and I came to the capital to wear this silk brocade, like a pair of golden boys and girls! Nan Yumo smiled evilly.
"Just put gold on your face, I didn't say that." Yuluo couldn't stop the smile on his face when he heard it, but he still pretended to be serious, but his eyes didn't dare to look directly at Nan Yumo.
"Alright, let's eat!" Only then did Nan Yumo let go of the rainfall.
"You can taste what the chef in the house has made to your liking." Nan Yumo pulled Yuluo down and sat down beside him.
"So much for the two of us to eat?" Yuluo looks more exaggerated than in the restaurant in Huaishan Town before.
"In the capital, there are at least ten dishes on the main table of large families, but it is not necessary for the masters to eat them all. If you have more left, you can give it to the slaves below, so many poor families are willing to send their children to large families to work as errands. In this way, the boy does not have to be a father-in-law, and when he is old, he can still marry a wife and have children. Nan Yumo put vegetables in Yuluo's bowl and told Yuluo some things and rules in the capital.
The meal is sumptuous, and it really deserves to be a cook in the palace, and the craftsmanship is naturally different from the ordinary chefs outside.
After eating, Nan Yumo called Sandalwood Tanyun over and asked the two of them to rest with the rainfall.
The two of them took the rain and went to Gardenia Garden.
Gardenia Garden and Gardenia Garden are the two main courtyards of the palace, and only the prince and princess can live.
When the three of them arrived at Gardenia Garden, they couldn't help but "wow" out as soon as the rain fell into the courtyard.
"This yard is so big!" In fact, the courtyard of Gardenia Forest Garden is also very large, but Nan Yumo changed the courtyard in front of him to a smaller one, and opened a small courtyard in the middle as a place to practice swords and drink tea on weekdays.
"Miss, Gardenia Garden is the only place in the palace that has an independent garden, and other courtyards can only open up a small pond." Sandalwood said.
This yard is really like a garden, there is a bridge in front of the door, and below is a pond that reaches the end, but now the pond has been frozen, and there is a rockery on the left and right sides of the bridge, and there are small bridges and pavilions on the rockery, and there are a few little people in the pavilion, drinking tea and playing chess. You can walk directly to the other side by the small bridge and to the other side from the left and right corridors.
It can be seen that the curtains on the corridor are all newly replaced, a layer of curtain and a layer of light yarn, and occasionally the cold wind blows and lifts the light yarn to flutter in the air, which is beautiful. Every other pillar there was a piece of jade hanging from the curtain.
Yuluo thought the promenade was beautiful and didn't cross the bridge.
Walking along the promenade, you can see a close-up view of the pool, and a few red carp can be seen swimming under the ice.
Walking through the promenade, there is the courtyard in front of the hall, and there are dwarf trees around the courtyard, some of which have withered or only have their trunks, and there are snowflakes hanging on them, and only plum blossoms are in bloom.
"This plum blossom is so beautiful!" The rain fell and touched the flowers.
"If you want to like it, you can pick a few and put them in the house, the plum blossom fragrance is also very good." Tan Yun said.
"Okay!" Yuluo nodded.
"Someone!"
A little maid answered.
"You find someone to cut some plum branches, and go back and put a few in each room."
"Yes!" The little maid took the order and withdrew.
A cold wind blew through the rain and brought down the cloak.
"Miss, it's cold outside, let's go in first." Tan Yun said, and Yuluo nodded.
It was getting dark, and the house was lit and shrouded in lanterns.
Sandalwood and the others went directly to the bedroom with the rain, and the bedroom was in the innermost, and they walked through the corridor to arrive.
There is also a small courtyard outside the bedroom, there is a tall tree, and there is a stone table under the tree, so you can enjoy the shade in the summer.
