Chapter 159 Plum Garden Sunset (2)

A few girls from the palace led the way in front, and Xun Qingran and Qi Yu walked to the depths of the plum garden. The plum garden, as its name suggests, is full of plums, but there are only pothos and no other flowers. It shows that in the season when there are no plum blossoms to enjoy in winter, they rely on this pothos to decorate. Along the way, rockeries, pavilions are sparse and dense, with unique ingenuity and great antiquity.

Along the bluestone Yong Road, the terrain is high, turn the rockery barrier, suddenly there is a large piece of plum forest in front, there is an octagonal eaves of the pavilion standing in the forest, and the snow pavilion with three big characters is written on it.

A little girl had already walked in front to report, and the two people in the pavilion stood up and greeted them.

For King Kangjun, Xun Qingran has long heard of it, and he has a very good personal relationship with Qi You. With Tang Younian in front, Xun Qingran thought in his heart that King Kangjun must also be a handsome young man. However......

"Hahaha, Xiao Qi, you're here, I've been waiting for you for a while." Walking in front was a young man, smiling and greeting Qi You.

Xun Qingran knew that this should be King Kangjun. For some reason, the name of King Kangjun can be said to be thunderous to Xun Qingran, so she can't help but take a closer look. Looking at the age of King Kangjun, he is also in his early twenties, with a slightly rich figure, a golden crown and hair, a jade belt at the waist, a golden dark pattern python robe on his body, and a fox fur on the outside, but he also looks extraordinary. Looking at his appearance again, the bridge of his nose is high and his eyebrows are clear, and he can be regarded as a handsome character.

Qi You took Xun Qingran out of the door, the purpose was the family temple, but what they did was to be kept secret. Therefore, Qi You went to the plum garden first, left the carriage, and changed the sedan chair to take Xun Qing to the family temple. Xun Qing guessed in his heart that this King and Princess Kangjun were also found by Qi You, in order to cover people's ears. Now that he heard King Kangjun say that he had been waiting for a while, Xun Qingran felt a little apologetic on his face.

"Sister, don't be honest with him, he and Xiao Qi are joking."

As he spoke, a bright orange figure flashed behind King Kangjun, it was Princess Kangjun, who had met Xun Qingran at Rong's birthday banquet.

"I've seen the prince of the county, the princess of the county." Bow your hand. Xun Qingran also bowed down.

"Our brothers, don't use these politeness, come, I have prepared good tea here, just waiting for you to come." King Kangjun held Qi You's wrist. The two of them are usually familiar with each other, and Qi Yu is not reluctant, and the two of them entered the pavilion first.

Here, Princess Kangjun also helped Xun Qingran up, looking up and down with a smile.

"The princess of Laojun is waiting here. I haven't seen her for many days, and the princess of the county is even more radiant than before. Xun Qingran said with a smile.

Although it is a kind word, it is not false. Princess Kangjun is also quite famous among the noblewomen in the capital. Xun Qingran's stature is already high among women, and Princess Kangjun is taller than Xun Qingran, which is similar to the size of King Kangjun. She is the daughter of Kangjun Wanggu**, three years older than Kangjun Wang, the two are family affairs since childhood, and when Kangjun Wang was thirteen years old, the two became married. Now they have been married for ** years and have a son under their knees.

Princess Li of Kangjun, with fair skin, a pair of single phoenix eyes, slightly raised eyes, and two long eyebrows, all of which are natural, not the work of Fan Dai. After careful consideration, Princess Kangjun's appearance can only be regarded as average, but she has a temperament that is unforgettable at first sight. Xun Qingran secretly listed Princess Kangjun as a temperament beauty, and she was a very distinctive woman.

"My sister made fun of me, but my sister, going to this station, I lost the color of the red plums in the garden." Princess Kangjun said with a smile.

The two laughed and entered the pavilion as well.

The pavilion is located on a hill, and when you look around, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the plum garden. There are no charcoal basins and other things in the pavilion, but when you enter the pavilion, you feel that there is a faint warmth from the soles of your feet, as if you have set up a dragon.

There are tables and chairs in the pavilion, and the four of them sit around the table.

"I just got a jar of Yongchun Buddha's hand, so I took out the snow on the plum rui collected during the winter solstice festival last year and took it out of this altar, and it is the most suitable tea to brew. Xiao Qi, I want to taste the tea you brewed today. King Kangjun took out a small porcelain jar and said with a smile.

Xun Qingran noticed that water was boiling on the two small red clay stoves next to the table, but there was a complete set of tea utensils on the table.

Princess Kangjun glanced at King Kangjun, and her tone was slightly disgusted, "How can you treat guests like this and let guests make tea." I'll do it. ”

Qi You had already cleaned his hands in the copper basin brought by the girl.

Princess Kangjun smiled, "I haven't drunk Xiao Qi's tea for a long time." ”

Qi You opened the teacan, took a spoonful of tea out with a teaspoon, paused slightly, and motioned for everyone to see clearly.

Xun Qing also read the tea scriptures many times when he was bored, and recognized that this tea is tight and fat, the leaves are curly, and the color is green and black, which is the precious Yongchun red bud Buddha's hand.

"It took four horses to get such a little bit from the old prince of Dingchun." King Kangjun hugged the small tea caddy and said with some pain.

Qi You was calm and relaxed, and he had already scalded the cup with boiling water to warm the kettle and put the tea leaves into the teapot. Pour out the water for washing the tea, and then pour the boiling water into the pot again, Phoenix... The head salutes the guests, and the spring breeze blows the face with the lid of the pot to remove the tea powder. After brewing the tea, pour the tea into a fair cup before pouring it into each person's smelling cup.

Xun Qingran pinched the smelling cup, poured the tea into the tea cup, and rubbed the smelling cup in the palm of his hand, sniffing the lingering fragrance in the cup. As early as the time of brewing, there was a rich aroma wafting in the pavilion, and now when I smell it, it is even more fragrant. Xun Qingran put down the smelling cup, only to use three fingers to taste the tea cup, the tea soup is orange and clear, Yongchun Buddha's hand is really worthy of its name, Xun Qingran admired in his heart, and drank slowly.

The four of them slowly enjoyed the scenery of Merlin while sipping tea.

King Kangjun seemed to have some regrets, "It's a pity that there has been no snow these days"

"One of the four views of the capital praised by the people of the capital, the plum forest and the snow reflect the sunset, is this plum garden?" Xun Qingran asked.

Princess Kangjun smiled and nodded, "When it snows someday, I will invite my sister to come again, and the scenery is different from this time." ”

"There are countless beautiful scenery in the capital, these four scenes, are the most commendable in the private garden, and are also divided into autumn, winter, spring and summer, in addition to my plum garden, the autumn red leaves of the Baopu Garden, the ten miles of lotus fragrance in the summer of Zhiyuan, and the sea of pear blossoms in the spring of the pear orchard." King Kangjun talked eloquently.

These four scenes, Xun Qingran since entering Beijing, has also heard of it, but he has no chance to see it, until today, only one of them is seen.

Princess Kangjun glanced at King Kangjun lightly, got up from the table, and pulled Xun Qingran to leave the table together.

When the two went to the courtyard behind the pavilion, Princess Kangjun changed her clothes, led Xun Qing to the warm pavilion, and sat on the kang with Xun Qing.

"My sister is also good at tea?" Princess Kangjun asked with a smile.

"But I know a little about the fur, I don't dare to get an axe, and I have to ask the princess for advice." Xun Qing said.

"Don't be polite, my girl's name is Luanyu, and Xiao Qi will also call me a sister." Princess Kangjun said.

"Sister Luanyu." Xun Qing is as good as a stream.

Princess Kangjun laughed, "That's right. Speaking of asking for advice, you're looking for the near and far. This tea ceremony, I learned it with the prince and Xiao Qi. At the beginning, Master Wei Chi personally taught the class, and Xiao Qi can be called the best among them. ”

Qi You once learned the tea ceremony with Princess Kangjun? This was the first time she had heard of it. Xun Qingran secretly thought to herself, she didn't know much about Qi You, most of them came from the mouth of the Rong family. Qi You and King Kangjun have a close relationship, and they have been friends since childhood. Seeing that Qi Yu gets along with King Kangjun and Princess Kangjun, he is very comfortable. This princess Kangjun has also been raised as a boy since she was a child, and all reading, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even riding and archery are all studied with King Kangjun. Does that mean that Princess Kangjun also knows Qi You very well?

"Master Yu Chi, but the famous tea ceremony master in southern Fujian, Yu Chi Xiaojing?"

"Exactly, you know him too?" Princess Kangjun asked with some surprise, and then relieved, "Yes, it's not unusual for your family to know him." ”

Xun Qingran smiled secretly in her heart, Princess Kangjun was surprised before, she wondered how she could know about Yu Chi Xiaojing with her identity, and then she was relieved, but she thought of the Yingchuan Xun family, even if she was a concubine, she was no better than ordinary girls.

"I have a library at home, and I have read the tea scriptures in my spare time. Master Yu Chi heard his father and uncle mention it, saying that they had also come and gone. Xun Qingran said, "I heard that Master Yu Chi rarely accepts apprentices, how fortunate the princess is!"

"It's also a chance, Master Yu Chi no longer accepted apprentices at that time, and because he owed the old prince a favor, he taught us a few. At that time, in Liyuan, we were all young, and we were in one place every day, Xiao Qi, Adan, Aze, "seemed to think of something, Princess Kangjun suddenly stopped, "Hehe, and me, I was naughty at that time, where can I calm down, at the beginning, but it made Master Wei Chi very troubled." ”

………………

In the Snow Viewing Pavilion, King Kangjun sent away the girl who was waiting.

"What makes you so anxious that you have to send someone to ask me to cover it up for you?" King Kangjun looked at Qi You inquiringly and asked.

"It's a little thing, it's not good for the family to know." Qi Yu said lightly.

King Kangjun glanced at Nuan Ge, "It has something to do with you, the bride?" ”

Qi Yu was noncommittal, neither saying yes nor saying no.

King Kangjun rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "If you don't say it, I can guess the ** score." Nothing of this woman can be hidden from me. Xiao Qi, my brother has to remind you that women should be petted, but they must not be spoiled too much, if they are too spoiled, the good cat will become a female tiger, that bitter ......, cough cough"

King Kangjun smiled evilly and touched Qi You's elbow, "My brother is from here, if you have any problems, just tell my brother." This woman's thoughts, my brother understands best, and my brother will give you tips and take care of ......"

Qi Yu glanced over lightly, "How about the guarantee?" ”

King Kangjun heard Qi You's tone wrong, "Guarantee, that ......"

"Last time, we made an appointment to practice boxing together, and said that we would win two out of three games, but you were cheating, so it's better to make up for it when you have time in the past two days."

King Kangjun immediately laughed dryly, and said pitifully, "Xiao Qi, there is no such thing as you. It wasn't my fault last time, but you listened. You smashed me like a rotten peach, didn't you clear the two, how can you still hold a grudge. You can't marry a daughter-in-law and trample on your brothers. ”

"I'll be free tomorrow." Qi Yu was unmoved.

"Hahaha" King Kangjun laughed three times heartily, grabbed Qi You's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Brother, am I wrong?" ”

Qi You poured another cup of tea, and King Kangjun took it, and the smile on his face was swept away, "This time you came back from an errand, and I heard that Your Majesty is very pleasing to you." What were you going to do? ”

"It hasn't changed." Qi You said simply, "My father has agreed. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"It's already five or six points, and I need to add firewood."

…………

Qi You watched the sunset, took out his arms from his arms and glanced at them, then stood up, "It's not early, it's time to go back." ”

King Kangjun knew that Qi Yu had an arrangement, and he didn't keep it, so he only sent someone to ask Princess Kangjun and Xun Qing to dye it.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone else about this today. It's Luanyu, I just said that you husband and wife came to enjoy the plum blossoms. ”

Qi Yu arched his hand, he and King Kangjun had a small friendship, knowing that King Kangjun was a person who knew about major matters and was very trustworthy, and they didn't need to thank each other.

…………

When Qi You and Xun Qingran returned to Qi Mansion, it was already nearly evening. Because Qi Yu had already arranged it, Xun Qingran was not in a hurry.

Xun Qingran got out of the carriage at the second gate and went to the inner house with Qi You.

"Say hello to the fourth master and the fourth grandmother." Wangcai's family came to meet him, bent his knees and was blessed, accompanied by a smile on his face, "The fourth master and the fourth grandmother went out, why didn't they call the slaves to follow and serve." Then he stretched out his neck to look at the carriage.

"Fourth grandma, this is from the ......, alas, this plum blossom is really handsome, needless to say, it must be from the plum garden of the Kangjun Wang's family." Wangcai's family saw that Mai Mai was carrying two little girls, both holding a few plums, and immediately smiled.

Xun Qingran smiled, "Sure enough, you still have knowledge." It just so happened that you came across it, so help me send these plum blossoms to various yards to insert bottles. ”

The Wangcai family hurriedly stepped forward and took a few plums in their hands, "What knowledge does the slave have, it's just such a good plum blossom, and only the county prince's family has it, and only our fourth master wants to come." ”

Xun Qing smiled and sent away the wealthy family, so he returned to Ningyuan to live.

Suitable for living in the year

Rong leaned on the couch and looked at the gorgeous red plums blooming in the flowers on several cases.

“…… Is it all arranged over there? Rong asked Mama Jiang who was sitting on the pedal.

"What the fourth master arranged must be extremely thoughtful. Don't worry, old lady. Mama Jiang said.

"I want to rest assured too, just ......"

"The old lady is thinking about the Qi family, the children and grandchildren of the Qi family. Since the fourth master is willing to take over, the old lady just needs to worry less about it, and it is important to take care of her body. ”

"These children, if they are all the same as the fourth, I will wake up laughing when I fall asleep."

"Several masters are filial."

Rong sighed, "What do you think of the dyed girl?" ”

Mama Jiang pondered for a moment, "Fourth grandmother, people are excellent, fair in handling things, and have means, but their hearts are too soft, but they still know the overall situation and know the proportions." ”

"Soft-hearted, whoever is born is hard-hearted."

"The old lady is right, the fourth grandmother is still young, and she hasn't gone through it yet. The old lady slowly taught that the fourth grandmother understood the truth. ”

Rong closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "I was surprised that the fourth child could do this for her." I was still afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold the fourth child, but now she is a little scared. …… Is this person unable to escape a fateful word? Yu'er ......"

Rong's voice was extremely low, and Mama Jiang only listened to infatuation, fate, and cold feelings in a trance.

"The fourth master grew up next to the old lady, and the old lady knows his temper best. Speaking of cold affection, he is very responsible for others and his family. ”

Rong's didn't seem to hear Mama Jiang's words, and it took a while to open her eyes, "What's wrong with that girl in the crescent moon?" ”

"I said that I got up in the morning and cried for a while, and then I got better, but I still have some recognition. The slave looked, and his temperament was still supple, but he was not an unruly child. ”

"Although those two girls are proper, they are younger after all. Still bothering you. Rong said to Mama Jiang.

Mama Jiang stood up from her feet and respectfully agreed, "The old lady is still kind, she loves this child, this is her creation." ”

At the end of the year, the red lanterns were hung up inside and outside the Qi Mansion, and the red colors were draped everywhere, and the flavor of the year was full, that is, the people got more rewards, and their faces were also beaming, and they spoke and walked neatly than usual.

In a small study in the front yard, the atmosphere is a little different from the outside.

"Are you all right?" Qi Xiu twisted the wine jug and asked Luo Ping, who was standing in front of him.

"The minions really inquired. It was the Dong'er girl next to the second grandmother, and the imperial doctor Zhang who specially ordered to be invited didn't invite Imperial Doctor Jiang at all. In the past two days, the servants walked around the neighborhood of the Imperial Physician Zhang's house, and they all said that Imperial Physician Zhang had made a fortune and bought a thirteen-year-old concubine to enter the door. ”

Qi Xiu slammed the wine glass to the ground with a snap.

"Sure enough, I was deceived by her that day and shed tears for her. As a result, she calculated it again. I only pity my miserable Mochizuki. Why did you bump into it at this time, and it hurt me?"

"Second master, be quiet, the people who can't keep the second grandmother watching the second master in the dark." Luo Ping went to the door and looked out for a while, before he covered the door and came back.

"The second master is a person who is very affectionate, and in front of his grandmother, he suffers." Luo Ping picked up the flask from the ground and put it on the table.

"Are you talking about where your grandmother Liu is buried?" Qi Xiu asked with red eyes.

"It was buried in the cemetery of the family temple. The minions were afraid of being recognized, so they didn't dare to get too close to the front at first. Later, they buried Grandma Liu, and the slave secretly stepped forward and made a mark. Poor Grandma Liu, who was said to be a violent illness, burned only ashes. Luo Ping said, looking at Qi Xiu's appearance, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Qi Xiu's heart hurt so much that he didn't realize that he shed a few tears.

"The second master still don't hang up the pretense, this big year, let people see it, and when it reaches the ears of the second grandmother, there will be a scene of anger."

"Now that she's a golden baby, no one can touch her," Qi Xiu said angrily, "Sooner or later, let her know my history." ”

The second master was angry. The second master has been sad for the past two days, so it is better to sneak away to Xinghua Lane to go shopping and relax. Luo Ping said with a smile.

"What's the fun about that?" Qi Xiu remembered that he was tired of playing over there, so he didn't care.

"Second master, the slave heard that a new restaurant has opened over there, and a few singers have been invited, all of which were purchased by Jiangnan, and they have not yet opened, and I heard that there are a few lovely people." Luo Ping leaned into Qi Xiu's ear and said with a sneer.

Qi Xiu was a little moved, "Then go and see?" ”

"The second master went, and I promise that I won't regret it." Luo Ping squeezed his eyebrows, thinking in his heart, that Yuexianglou had recently trained a few singing songs, one of which was five or six points similar to the Liu family, and taking advantage of Qi Xiu's heat, he might be able to hold Qi Xiu. In that way, he, the one who pulls the string, can also get out of it, hehe, Luo Ping's hand is twisted excitedly in his sleeve, and it seems that a large number of silver tickets have fallen in his hand.
