046 Gardens
"Alright."
Lin Huijia drew a few more strokes on the cardboard, then gently took off the paper, handed it to Mo Mei, and ordered: "Go, show it to Brother Song." ”
Mo Mei responded, carefully folded the paper, and walked quickly.
Lin Shijia asked curiously, "Eldest sister, is the eldest brother you are talking about a student of the eldest uncle?" ”
"Yes." Lin Huijia smiled and explained: "Elder Song, who helped us design this garden, is an elder in Brother Song's family. As a result, Brother Song also learned some knowledge of garden design. At the very least, it's okay to help us get a yard. ”
"I see." Lin Shijia nodded, as if she had something in her heart, but after she spoke, she said, "Eldest sister, two younger sisters, you are not tired yet, are you?" Do you want to go for a walk again? ”
Lin Huijia and the others were also very interested, and the group walked mightily, making a fuss in the originally clean garden, and it seemed that even the grass and trees had a little more energy.
Yiyuan is not small, even if the six sisters occupy a courtyard, it only occupies a small half of the east of Yiyuan. However, the western part of the garden was not designed for habitation, and there are few houses built. Even though there are eaves and corridors hidden among the grass and trees, there are only a few rooms, which are not suitable for long-term living.
This side is connected to the location of the young masters of the Lin Mansion. There is a conspicuous three-storey small building here, which was built by the Wenxian Public, which contains tens of thousands of precious books of all kinds, and is called Haomiao Pavilion. Hao Miao Pavilion is one of the rare three-story buildings in Beijing. It is said that when Wen Xiangong wanted to build a library pavilion, the original design was a two-story building. And when the news that he spent a lot of money to ask for books in the world was known to Emperor Yuan, Emperor Yuan gave special instructions and allowed Wenxian to build a three-story pavilion to show his respect for knowledge.
And with the death of Duke Wen Xian, the reputation of Haomiao Pavilion gradually fell silent with the Lin Mansion. Except for the old people who love books in the capital, very few people now know about this three-story building in the Lin Mansion.
But the fame of Hao Miao Pavilion is still there-
As a study, Hao Miao Pavilion occupies a large section of ground in Cai Street near Guozijian, and is known as one of the most abundant study houses in Daxian, and enjoys a high reputation among the literati. It's just that, contrary to its popularity, Haomiao Pavilion is also one of the only industries in the Lin Mansion that is not very profitable and occasionally even has to pay for it......
When Lin Yijia and the others entered the Haomiao Pavilion, they unexpectedly met Song Jie.
Song Jie stood in the lobby on the first floor, talking to his mother who was guarding the Haomiao Pavilion. When he saw the women enter, he stopped and turned around, and greeted them with a smile.
"Brother Nanshan, you are here. Have you seen the picture drawn by the eldest sister? Lin Yijia said.
Song Jiedao: "I just watched it, that's why I came here." I don't know much about gardening...... Well, in fact, I personally appreciate Wen Xiangong's sentence 'grinding the gun in battle, and the disadvantage is also light'...... It's better to add up your knowledge on the off course than to not do anything at all, hehe. ”
Mother Kong, who retreated to the side, interjected: "Young Master Song is here to find books on gardening. Back to a few little masters, the books about gardens are basically in the first room on the third floor. The slave was about to take Young Master Song over. ”
Lin Shijia signaled to Nakong's mother, signaling her to find someone to serve. She also loves to read, and this vast Miao Pavilion is not less coming, and she is familiar with Mother Kong and a few maids here. She gestured and said to Song Jie: "Song Gongzi is humble. Listening to the eldest sister, Tuoshan Gong is the elder of Song Gongzi's family? The master of the generation of Tuoshan Gong, the origin of Song Gongzi's family learning......"
Lin Shijia smiled at the corner of her mouth, clear and beautiful like a white lotus half-blooming at the dawn of summer, her eyes turned slightly, and then she said: "You can't be wrong." ”
Song Jie didn't say anything more humble, but said: "My uncle is famous, and although Yiyuan is little known, it is also his favorite work. Although I am not talented, I dare not make changes casually. Otherwise, he will definitely be scolded by his old man when he comes back. ”
Speaking of Song Tuoshan and Song everyone in the garden industry, everyone in Shengjing can say several of his proud works, such as the royal Vientiane Garden in the suburbs of Beijing, and as the previous Miss Lin has been to, the Wuxing Houfu Tilting Garden, and the most famous fireworks place in Shengjing, Liuhong Garden......
Lin Shijia looked admiring: "I am really ignorant, I live and enjoy it every day, but I never thought that our Yiyuan would be the work of Song Lao...... Song Lao ......"
Lin Shijia obviously reads a lot.
Moreover, she is not like other "talented women" in the capital, who only work poetry. She is obviously more erudite. At least, when talking about the way of gardening with Song Jie, it is not all general......
It's just that, in this case, there are so many people in the lobby, and the number of conversations between the two of them is a bit too much......
Second sister, this is?
Song Jie's is indeed very good. He came from a family, was a talented young man, and treated people kindly......
Lin Yijia secretly glanced at Lin Shijia a few times, turned around and walked over with her two little maids, Lantian Lanyu, to the shelves of neatly stacked books around her.
It's awe-inspiring to have so many books put together.
Lin Yijia didn't pick up the book, but looked at the two little maids in awe, and said, "How have you learned the rules these days?" What did Mama Gui say? ”
After returning to Beijing, Lan Tian and Lan Yu were called over by Mrs. Lin to learn the rules from Mama Gui.
"Mama said, from now on, we can go back to you, Miss, to wait. However, every night, we have to go to Mama and her old man for guidance. Lantian replied.
Lin Yijia nodded.
The two maids are smart, and Mama Gui will not deliberately embarrass them, and she must teach them carefully. After the rules are written down, how to use and how to implement them depends on the reality.
"Don't slack off on literacy. Learn three or five words a day, and you'll soon be able to read through ordinary books. Lin Yijia pointed to countless bookshelves and said: "Our Lin Mansion is different from other mansions, even if it is the mother who burns the fire, she can recognize a few big characters." ”
"Yes." Lan Tian and Lan Yu had nothing else to say. They can read and write, but they never dared to think of it before.
"That, Miss......" After Lin Yijia left the others and walked to the corner of the house, Lantian hesitated and said in a low voice: "Miss, Da Niu, he was looking for Lanyu again in the morning." ”
"Who?" Lin Yijia didn't react at once.
"Da Niu, who is our sister's fellow villager, is now called Qin Qi and follows Qin Gongzi." Lan Tian glared at Lan Yu and said, "You come on." ”
Lan Yu shrank slightly by her glare, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Da Niu has always treated me very well." He came to me, I ......" Lan Yu buried his head deeply, and said, "He just asked me if I was doing well, Miss, how did you treat us...... Otherwise, he talked about him, saying that Gongzi Qin treated him very well and taught him to read and write......"
Lan Yu said intermittently, seeing that Lin Yijia did not react, she became more and more uneasy, and finally almost cried: "I, slave, I remember what Mama Gui said, I really didn't say anything about Miss...... Miss, the slave is wrong...... Slave ......"
Lin Yijia wasn't actually listening carefully to what Lan Yu said, and she didn't care.
When she came back to her senses and saw Lan Yu's expression, Lin Yijia was a little helpless, she shook her head, and said, "I don't blame you." As long as you remember, as a caring maid, no one can reveal anything about me, Mama Gui taught you, right? Otherwise, it's not a big deal......"
