Chapter 95 In and out of the play
Banniang happily obeyed her fate, not to mention how others yearn for her family's famous library pavilion, it is herself, but whenever she has time, she is also lingering in it, even if she doesn't read books, she only stays in it, and her mood is very comfortable.
Lu Qiqi stepped into the book pavilion, and his face changed to a look, and the unruly and unruly disappeared without a trace on weekdays, and was replaced by a quiet sense of indifference and alienation.
At that moment, Banniang seemed to find the vague familiarity she had in Lu Qiqi.
Halfway through, Fang heard Lu Qiqi sigh and said, "Zeng Yunshan, do you know how amazing your family is?" β
Of course, she knew that if her guess was true, her brothers, at least three of them, would become famous literati and officials in history. It will be admired and commemorated by many future generations.
But, how could Lu Qiqi ask like this?
Banniang was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that he is rumored to be a descendant of Confucius's protΓ©gΓ© Zeng Shen, but my grandfather was an official in the Ministry of Officials." This is nothing, the glory of the predecessors should not be the proud capital of my generation, not to mention that neither my father nor my brothers have ever talked about this. β
Lu Qiqi shook his head with a sigh: "I'm not talking about the predecessors of the Zeng family, are you willing to make a bet with me, among your brothers, over time, they will be able to multiply them, and they can be proud of the Great Song Dynasty literary world." Even if it is eternal, it is not impossible. As for your grandfather's officials, it's not really a ......."
This...... If others heard this, they should think that Lu Qiqi was insulting her ancestors, but Banniang's heart jumped, and the feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.
Lu Seventeen, what kind of person is he?
Probably because the look on Banniang's face was too strange, Lu Qiqi laughed at himself, and then he was as cynical as before, picked out two books from the bookshelf, and asked with a smile: "How about borrowing these two books for me for a few days?" β
Banniang shook her head: "My family's collection of books will not be borrowed." β
Lu Qiqi said with a smile: "Don't worry, I naturally know that Mr. Zigu is a book-lover, and he will definitely return it within ten days." β
Banniang stretched out her head to take a look, but it was two volumes in "Jinshi Lu". Seeing that he said that he would pay it back, he was embarrassed not to borrow it, but only advised: "This is what my second brother finally collected, you must not lose it, otherwise the second brother will come back, even if he doesn't scold me, he will be distressed to death." But you too, how can you be interested in these things? β
Lu Seventeen turned around, but did not borrow any other books, the two of them came out of the book pavilion, because the largest book pavilion is located at the back of the school building, so if you take a shortcut, you still need to pass through the backyard of the main courtyard where Banniang lives, so he said to Lu Seventeen: "You just wait for me in this mezzanine for a while, I went to get the picture of the dining table that I painted for a day yesterday, because the shape is special, you take it back first and find a wood shop to do." β
With that, he turned the side door to the backyard and went to get a picture of the dining table.
Lu Qiqi looked at the noon sunshine in his hand, and the others were just one, but it attracted his eyes, and the expression on his face changed unpredictably for a while.
"What, is there something wrong?"
"This table is very strange," Lu Qiqi dusted off the drawing that made his heart skip a beat, "I really haven't seen such a table, where did you see it?" β
In fact, it is a large round table specially prepared for the private room by Banniang.
The round table is not unusual, although the Song people like the boxy table of eight immortals, but the round table is also very common to people.
But the table top is double-layered, and the upper floor can be rotated for the convenience of guests. Da Song naturally didn't have such a table, so it was no wonder that Lu Seventeen was unusual.
"I've never seen it anywhere else, I thought that a table is so big, if the food is served, the guests can only eat the dishes in front of them, which is extremely inconvenient, so I thought that if the table can be turned, wouldn't it be both convenient and novel? Therefore, I thought of such a method, the large round table top on the first floor is fixed with the table legs, and the slightly smaller one on the top layer can be rotated 360 degrees. In this way, if the guest wants to eat any food, he only needs to turn to his face, without getting up and losing his manners, although it is just a small Guan Qiao, but it is very practical. β
Lu Qiyuan only thought that Banniang was just clever and thought about what no one had thought of, but as soon as he heard the words "360 degrees", the expression on his face became more and more exciting.
But he still couldn't believe it.
But after thinking about Banniang's usual words and deeds, I think it's too possible.
If he wasn't mistaken, it was obvious that this eighth lady of the Zeng family was the same kind of person as him.
The thrill of meeting someone in a foreign land, the shocking joy of suddenly finding someone with whom he could truly speak a common language, and the relief and emotion of suddenly feeling that he was not alone in this world, made him stand there.
But to ask or not to ask, to tempt or not to tempt?
Lu Qiqi was like a storm in his heart at this time, and he kept asking himself repeatedly.
No, he can't take such a risk. If not, how should he explain his question, even if it is, the fact that he is a time-traveling person, can he let Zeng Yunshan know? Is this Miss Zeng Jiaba a person who can be trusted?
"Brother Seventeen, what's wrong with you?" Banniang saw him standing there, half silent and asked.
Lu Qiqi sighed for a long time, and hurriedly changed his smiling face: "It's nothing, it's just that I think your table painting is a little interesting for a while, and when you say this, this ordinary round table is also very wonderful." I'll find someone to try to make it when I go back, and if it can really achieve the effect you said, just this table can add a lot of color to our Sheraton. β
The two talked and laughed all the way, and they arrived in the front yard, but Banniang felt that Lu Shi was very absent-minded, so she said, "Brother Seventeen, did you drink a little too much?" If you don't feel well, go back early, and I'll let Xu Thirteen send you. β
"But after two or three bowls, what is this wine? It's just that I really remember some things, so I'll go back first, and I don't have to send me to Xu Thirteen, I came on my own horse, you go and talk to him, and let me lead my horse to the gate of the courtyard. I guess my uncle is also asleep at this time, so I won't quit. β
As Lu Qiqi spoke, he took the two volumes of "Jinshi Lu" and the drawings in his hand into his arms.
Banniang went to tell Xu 13 to go to the stable in the back garden to lead the horse. When I came back, I saw Lu Qiqi looking at himself in a daze, his eyes were extremely strange, and he couldn't help but stroke his face, and said in his heart, Is there a flower on my face? This guy is so persistent and serious? It's all in front of him, still see?
"Brother Seventeen? Am I suddenly the face of a fallen city? Banniang asked with a serious face.
Lu Qiqi came back to his senses and burst out laughing: "Just you are a little girl like bean teeth, and you still look like a city, this is just me listening, others listen, don't you laugh off your big teeth." If you look back and stick gold on your face, you must not say anything in front of outsiders, and save some face for Second Brother Zeng. β
"Lu Seventeen, if you say something nice, will you become dumb?" Banniang scolded, originally wanted to scold and die, but thinking that the relationship between the two was not at that point, she temporarily changed a relatively civilized word.
The other party waved his hand and was discharged from the hospital without looking back.
In the remaining days, Zeng Bu was not at ease, so he went to the restaurant to take a look, and he was very satisfied with the location, but he felt that it was a little bigger, and he was afraid that Lu Qiqi and Banniang would not be able to handle it, but he gave some ideas. Because the family knew that she was busy with the affairs of the restaurant, and did not bother her with trivial matters, the Zhu family was out of confinement early, in addition to taking care of Xiao Shiyi Yunchu, she could also take care of the housework, and the Wu family and Qi Niang took over all the work.
Banniang is a mind, into the decoration design of the shop, there is no computer at this time, all the plane structure drawings have to be drawn by hand, because there is no pencil eraser, the pen is more careful, a little wrong, the whole picture is invalid, so first roughly draw the draft, and then trace it one by one, it is extremely time-consuming.
Such a day and night, but really three days to draw the decoration of the shop to draw, the general structure has not changed, the backyard she liked very much, but not at all, only the interior made some adjustments. The first floor is still the hall, only the tables and chairs have been replaced, screens and decorations have been added, and on each table, there are iron chandeliers, so that at night, the whole hall looks like the street from the street, as bright as Xuan, not to mention, it is a different style.
The rooms on the second and third floors have been changed into private rooms of different sizes, and the internal walls are all covered with plain linen cloth, and in each box, there are large round tables and small eight-immortal tables before the long case tea table, and the three tables are separated by movable screens to distinguish functions. The interior is also decorated with green bonsai, and calligraphy and painting are also indispensable for the literati's favorite items.
As for the three main rooms in the backyard, Banniang changed it for other purposes.
