Shuorenzhai sits in the north and faces south, with his back to the sea of flowers, facing the bamboo garden, and the ruyi door with emerald green paint is hidden behind the bamboo forest path, and he feels quiet and comfortable before entering the courtyard gate.

A group of people push the door in, into the eye is also a bamboo forest, along the bluestone paved path straight away, is Shuoren Zhai wide five high two-storey attic, copy the verandah will be the whole Shuoren Zhai bamboo garden embrace, directly connected to the inverted room.

"If it is really the place where the eldest master once lived, just looking at the quiet scenery is extraordinary." Mama Zhan couldn't help but exclaim: "There are also such places in the palace, but they are not used for people to live, but only for the nobles to travel on weekdays." ”

"The palace is splendid, and the nobles are fortunate to have this kind of attic just to find a wild fun." Qin Yi would rather not dare to compare his house with the palace.

Mama Zhan nodded approvingly.

It was already dark, and someone lit a lamp under the corridor, because it was Qin Huaiyuan's order, someone had already cleaned up the entire courtyard, and after Qin Yining had seen it upstairs and downstairs, he sent the residence office down.

Qin Yining's boudoir is in the middle of the second floor, the first room on the left hand side lives Mama Zhan, the second room lives Yaoqin and Yuqi, the first room on the right hand side lives rock candy, pine orchid and autumn dew, and the second room is arranged for Mother Zhu and Liu Ya.

The layout of the first floor is much brighter, and there are two vase-shaped floor covers on the left and right sides of the main hall, separating the five rooms with different purposes.

The new light green gauze tent on the floor cover had just been replaced. The house is fully furnished, and there is also a red coral bonsai on the Duobao Pavilion, which looks graceful and rich.

Qin Yining instructed someone to take the registered booklet and read it, then handed it to Qiu Lu with a smile, and walked to the innermost study on the east side, and said, "The affairs of the treasury will be handed over to you in the future." ”

Qiu Lu took it and nodded: "Don't worry, girl, I have the keys close to me." ”

The study is very spacious, and there is a large mahogany painting case in the ground, and a large handful of various pens are inserted in a blue and white porcelain pen holder on the painting case, and several of them are still bald. A simple inkstone is placed in the corner of the painting case, and most of the ink block on the top has been worn off. The water in the white porcelain brush wash should have been added, and there were some scrolls inserted in the porcelain jar on the ground, which was thought to be Qin Huaiyuan's old work.

Qin Yining sat on the circle chair with thick mattresses behind the painting case, leaned against the full bookshelf that led directly to the roof of the shed, took a deep breath, and said with a smile:

"It's strange that the old lady said let me dye the fragrance of books and ink, there is really a smell of books here."

Bingtang nodded, pointed to the half-used ink and said, "This ink is fragrant." There were also mint slices in the charcoal basin. ”

Qin Yining was stunned for a moment and exclaimed, "Your nose is really smart." ”

Rock Candy said triumphantly: "I have been practicing since I was a child, and some medicinal materials are mixed in the medicine, and I can also know it by smelling it." ”

Qin Yining nodded and sighed: "Living in a big mansion, how can you do it without a skill." It's time for me to learn from my husband. ”

He said to Yaoqin again: "I just saw a guqin hanging on the wall in the western room, Sister Yaoqin is a good player, and I still want to worship you as a teacher." ”

Yaoqin said with a smile: "The slave and the maid carve insect skills, if the girl can see it, enlightenment is possible." ”

"My sister's piano skills are outstanding, so don't be humble." Qin Yining looked at Yuqi again: "There is also chess, I am a complete layman, and I also ask Sister Yuqi to enlighten me." ”

"The girl carries love, and the slave must do her best." Yuqi responded happily.

After arranging what should be done in the future, Qin Yining asked everyone to rest.

Qin Yining went back to the bedroom, sat in front of the makeup and removed her hair, washed her face and evened her face under Songlan's service, changed into a bed coat and lay down.

"I've been tossing for a day, I'm really tired, even more tired than I hunt."

Today is Songlan's night, she spread the bedding on the Luohan bed near the window outside, leaving only a lamp, and wearing a small jacket with her hair scattered to put down the light purple light gauze bed tent for Qin Yining.

"The girl won a big victory today, and it is no different from a battle, can you not be tired?" Songlan is now full of gratitude and admiration for Qin Yining, and her tone is much more docile and respectful than before.

Qin Yining covered his mouth and yawned, wrapped in the quilt and slept into a small ball of warm fragrant nephrite, and muttered: "Songlan, you can sleep quickly, your injury is not healed yet." ”

Songlan looked through the tent and said with a smile: "Yes, the slave guards the girl, the girl sleeps." ”

**

Qin Yining has been more busy since she moved to Shuorenzhai, in addition to giving the old lady and Sun's morning and dusk every day, learning the rules with Mama Zhan with her sisters in the morning, and studying with Xixi in the afternoon, and then she has to practice writing big characters in her spare time, learn to play chess with Yaoqin and Yuqi, learn needlework with Songlan and rock sugar, and even calculate the time for lunch break all day long.

Although busy, Qin Yining was very happy.

She used to be busy making a living, and she should have snickered when she had a full meal, so how could she have the spare time to study this?

Now she can worry about food and clothing, she is reluctant to live up to the time, she is busy with a spinning top, she has never forgotten, but where she is attentive, it is easy to learn, it is in just a month and a half, her growth has been great.

Seeing Qin Yining working so hard, Mama Zhan, as a bystander, would be moved by her positive attitude, and couldn't help but teach her more in private, Qin Yining benefited a lot, and she was also very grateful to Mama Zhan.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived at Laba.

Qin Yining got up early, and was pressed by rock sugar to apply some white paste with a medicinal fragrance to her face, and then applied light green ointment to remove scars on the palm and back of her hand, and asked her to lie down for a quarter of an hour before washing her face.

Bingtang said: "The scar on the girl's hand is almost healed, and it is enough to insist on moistening her hands with a dip in the future." ”

Qin Yining was lying on the chaise longue, closed his eyes and moved his mouth slightly: "I also feel that the skin on my hands has become tender, I used to have rough skin and thick flesh, and it may not hurt to be pricked by a needle. ”

Songlan and Qiulu came in with hot water and Jinpa, and they all smiled when they heard this: "The girl still said that she has rough skin and thick meat?" Now your skin is as tender as tofu, and the rich and noble people next to Miss Huining yesterday quietly asked us to come, saying what kind of dough the girls use. ”

Bingtang smiled: "What did my sister say?" ”

Songlan said: "I said, the girl uses the roses that the public school gives every month, the girl is the daughter of the master, with the master, the natural beauty is inevitable, after going home, eat well and live well, and the skin is naturally good." ”

Bingtang nodded: "Yes, don't tell them, they don't have good intentions towards the girl." Huining girls have gone to Sydney Courtyard and haven't learned to settle down. ”

Qin Yining was thoughtful, and when a quarter of an hour came, he washed his hands and face with warm water, and after rubbing the sticks, Qin Yining said to Bingtang: "Wouldn't it be a pity that you have such a good skill to use it on me alone." Have you ever thought about selling the scar-removing and emollient cream you concocted? ”

Bingtang was stunned when he heard this, blinked and said, "My family's craft, I don't want to spread it." ”

"You only make medicine, you can also slightly change the prescription to weaken its effect, you can use three boxes of scars that can be cured with one box, and people outside will scramble to buy it. Now that the situation is turbulent, you don't know what will happen in the future, you must always have money to be safe. Although I have money, I will not leave you, but after all, you have a special status, and you must be on guard. ”

Bingtang thought for a while, nodded cautiously, and said, "I know that the girl is dedicated to me." I think about it. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, if you have the heart to do this small business, I will ask the shopkeeper Zhong to help you contact you, you just need to make ointment with peace of mind, in fact, you can not only make ointment, but also mix these ingredients for scar removal and skin beautification in the mud of wiping your face, or in rouge. It is the nature of women to love beauty, they don't have to wipe it to be effective, they can be effective slowly, and there will be a lot of ladies and ladies in Beijing who are willing to use silver. ”

Songlan and Qiulu both nodded, pulled the rock candy and said, "The girl is right, you have this ability, it is better to earn some money." ”

Bingtang thought about his noble father, and the final result of "noble" was that the Tang family was destroyed, so he was no longer in it, and said with a smile: "That girl will help me get in touch, and we will share the silver." ”

"I don't want your money, if the business can be successful, I will use your face for nothing." Qin Yining clicked on the round apple face of rock candy, and smiled and asked Songlan to comb her hair.

Bingtang looked at Qin Yining's back and smiled gratefully.

Laba naturally wants to eat Laba porridge, Dayan also has the habit of Laba sending porridge, Qin Yining just arrived at Cixiao Garden, and before entering the house, he had already heard a burst of happy laughter in the house, and the sweet fragrance of Laba porridge in the air.

Handing the cloak to Songlan who accompanied him with a smile, Qin Yining entered the inner room, and saluted the old lady, the Sun family, the second lady and the third lady first.

The old lady smiled and said, "Sister Yi'er is here, come and taste the porridge sent by the East Palace." ”

East Palace?

Yes, the prince is now a student of Qin Huaiyuan, and he will naturally send porridge during the Laba Festival.

The third wife flattered: "We are blessed by the uncle, and the Laba porridge in the East Palace is not something that everyone can eat." In this way, when I go back to my parents' house one day, I have one more to show off. ”

The second lady smiled silently.

The old lady was amused by the third lady and laughed.

At this moment, the eldest maid Jixiang walked in quickly, saluted and said: "Back to the old lady, just now the mother-in-law on the second door came to pass the word, saying that the eldest master's side of Qitai came to tell me that the Cao family had just come to deliver porridge." ”

In a word, the old lady who said it was apprehensive.

The Cao family has never had anything to do with their family, so how could they suddenly think of sending laba porridge?

Without waiting for the old lady to answer, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and the uncle Qin Yu walked in quickly, saluted and said in person: "Old lady, the eldest uncle is afraid that the little ones will not understand, so he specially asked me to come in and pass the word, the Cao family doesn't know what to say in front of the emperor, and now the emperor and the queen want to summon the old lady, the eldest aunt and Sister Yi into the palace to meet." ”
