Chapter 17: The Lilac Society of Horyuji Temple [1] 810 Addition
At the same time, Qi Qiang returned to the house from Sanqingyuan, all the way back to Shen Yuezhi's main house, his body was much better, and he took the girl to wait for him to change his clothes. "Complete () update fastγ
"Master, the Qin Mansion sent someone to send a post over and invited me and Yuegouer to go to Fayuan Temple to enjoy the flowers. There is also a post for my aunt, and I also sent it. Shen Yuezhi took the decanting soup from Mianmian's hand and presented it to Qi Qiang, "Do you also go to Fayuan Temple tomorrow?" The lilacs in Fayuan Temple are indeed a beautiful scene, although I have seen it, my aunt and grandmother have never seen it. Once she went to Beijing, she should also go to see it. β
Qi Qiang sat on the Luohan bed and drank the soup slowly, Shen Yuezhi took a hot towel and wiped his face for him, "When my aunt and grandmother came today, I already gave her the sticker." She saw that we were all going and said that she wanted to go and see.
Are the ladies of the big bosses going? β
Qi Qiang put down the soup bowl, took the hot towel and wiped his face heavily, Shen Yuezhi looked at his face, beat the girls out of the door, and whispered: "Is the fourteenth master going too?" I heard that the Fourteenth Master ...... to my aunt and grandmother You're embarrassed......"
Qi Qiang sighed, "It's okay for the Fourteenth Master, in the end, he really takes care of my sister on weekdays, what will happen now, besides, he is also for business." I'm afraid it's something else...... There are some things I can't say to her...... I'm afraid she'll suffer......"
Shen Yuezhi was puzzled in her heart, pondered for a while, and comforted: "Everyone who knows her aunt knows it, and the fourteenth master is even more so. My brother-in-law is not a white ding, he is dignified and has a four-grade mansion, and he accompanies him in front of the emperor every day, who would dare to do anything? What are the women afraid of in one place? Besides, don't you go too? β
Qi Qiang nodded, "I can only think like this......"
In spring, the lilac tree is full of white and purple delicate flowers, like snow and smoke, and the fragrance is fragrant. Golden bees and butterflies flutter among the flowers and trees, and the laughter of women fluttering butterflies comes from the courtyards of Fayuan Temple from time to time.
Qi Su Niang was wearing a white silk and gold cinnamon buckle pair of Jin Chun shirts, a lake green silk 100-fold skirt, a golden hairpin on her head, and a white gauze fan in her hand, and said to Shen Yuezhi with a smile as she walked: "Sister-in-law, I thought I would wrap this Fayuan Temple down to see the flowers." I didn't expect there to be so many people? β
Shen Yuezhi still hasn't answered. On the side, she was picking flowers, and she smiled: "Grandma doesn't know." In March, there are more official eunuchs in Fayuan Temple. If it's a day to wrap up a family. Flower time passes. How many families can't enjoy the flowers? Fayuan Temple didn't make enough money for incense, did he? β
The ladies all laughed. Qin Daoran's wife, Li, was also born in a family of Jiangnan incense. I can see that all the female dependents are from Jiangnan. I was very happy. Pulling Shen Yuezhi to say some spring poems. Qi Su Niang saw that most of the female relatives of the family were born in the courtyard. But they all learn poetry. Even the moon hook can say a few words.
Qi Su Niang quietly wiped her sweat. Whispered, "What should I do." Later, they will have to enforce the alcohol order. Couplets are poetic ......"
Bill couldn't help but laugh. "Grandma rest assured. There are slaves and maidservants. β
Qi Su Niang glanced at the daughters-in-law and girls behind her, holding the pipa, strings, moon qin and other things in their hands. With a bitter face, he said: "These women are all versatile. in order to be bought into the house by the eighth master. If you want to make a flower order. Performances in turn...... You can't stand up to me with you......"
Bill comforted: "Grandma don't have to worry about this. What is the identity of Mrs. Lee, Grandma and Grandma. Where do you want these skills? Even if Mrs. Li and Grandma know this. I don't have to perform with them. Madame just needs to watch when the time comes. Not really. The slave borrowed the strings. Just play a song. β
Qi Su Niang shook her head, "I can't tell you to end." Although they are good, they are from the academy. You are not yet married, and you play the piano with them, and it is not good to say it. β
Bi'er sighed, "Grandma, the slave is a girl, and that's how she was born." When it comes to marriage in this world, there is no one who does not pay attention to his background. Although the grandmother's family is poor, in the end, she was originally a young lady from the Xiangmendi, so she can be the main room. Although grandma wants to find a good family for the slave, I am afraid that it is not easy. β
"Don't worry, I've got a dowry for you. Background, family assets, the girl's appearance and morality, on marriage is also about these three things, we don't pay attention to other people's origins, family assets are not forced, as long as the character is good, motivated, and the age is the same. β
Di Fengru's spring courtyard is quite large, there are eight wings on three sides of the entrance, there are more than ten lilac trees growing in the front yard, and peony flowers are planted in the flower bed under the tree. Song Qing looked at it carefully, "I have heard that there are different kinds of peonies in Fayuan Temple, the wind is like a brother, these ink peonies and green peonies are rare." β
Di Fengru nodded and smiled, "I know that you like these, I specially booked the spring courtyard, and although the flowers in the other yards are good, there are no these heterogeneous peonies." He added: "The vegetarian mat here is no worse than that of Longfu Temple, you can taste it." β
There are eight wings on three sides of the spring courtyard, the three rooms on the right side are used for the ladies to stand up and change clothes, the two rooms on the left are the standing rooms for the masters, the other two rooms are used for the girls to prepare wine and vegetables, and there are two rooms for the actors of Sanqingyuan.
The open space in the courtyard has already been set high
On the left side are the five seats of the gentlemen, and on the right side there are nine green bamboo curtains on three sides by the branches of a few lilac trees, blocking the eight seats of the female dependents, only faintly seeing the shadow of the clothes and sideburns, and listening to the coquettish laughter.
Li's, Shen Yuezhi, and Qi Suniang each had a high-legged case, and the remaining ten people sat in the curtain for two people. Qi Su Niang saw that the top of her head was full of lilac flowers and leaves, the peonies at her feet were struggling, the fragrance was full of nose, and the bees and butterflies were flying back and forth.
There was the sound of playing and singing in the courtyards everywhere, Di Fengru clapped his hands, and the actors invited from Sanqing Garden opened a few cases in the open space under the tree, and opened a comment on "Yang Jiajiang".
The hour is still early, in the middle of the fourteenth elder brother is still a few people in the horizontal area, the girls will prepare the pine stamen, perilla cake, rafter silk, bergamot slices, sauce kumquat, olive dried fruit six kinds of tea dried fruit, green plum, cherry, flower red, apricot, red ling, six kinds of tea fresh fruit on the horizontal table. The gentlemen will send Lu'an tea, Shaoxing aged wine, and Hebei Cangjiu. The ladies presented sparrow tongue tea, flower boiled tea, and Jinhua wine.
Qi Su Niang listened to the commentary, while eating perilla cakes, and inadvertently looked at Weng Bai standing behind Song Qing, who was standing in the middle, and suddenly frowned slightly, and swept it at a glance, including Qin Daoran and Qi Qiang, there were always twenty or thirty followers around them. There are no less than these guards outside the front and rear side doors. Coupled with the daughter-in-law who prepares food and wine in more than a dozen rooms, and the girl who pours tea and wine back and forth, there are no less than seventy or eighty people in this courtyard, but fortunately, the spring courtyard is seven or eight acres in size, which is still wide.
After a comment was finished, I heard a sound outside the courtyard, and the fourteenth elder brother was wearing a bright blue and dark dragon pattern arrow sleeve spring robe, black satin towards boots, and walked in with a black gold horsewhip, followed by Fu Yourong closely. Qin Daoran and the others stood up one after another and greeted them.
The fourteenth elder brother locked his eyebrows all the way and pondered, sat above the table and saw the female concubine behind the Hunan curtain, and was slightly stunned, "It's a family banquet in various mansions......"
Qin Daoran said with a smile: "It's just that I took advantage of the spring trip and made an appointment with Qi Qiang's relatives and his sister-in-law, I thought that the last time you were in charge of the West Mountain, you didn't have a good time, so I made an appointment to enjoy the flowers." Di Da is the owner of the house, and the relatives he brings are all people sent by the eighth master, and he has to come out to sing when he stays, which is not a family banquet. β
The fourteenth elder brother nodded with a smile, and Meng Tiejian smiled: "There are not so many rules in my house. Come on, invite the little lady out. β
Qi Suniang watched the curtain open and fall, Song Qing, Luo Shiqing, Di Fengru, and even Zhenyun's female dependents all walked out and sat beside them, and even Yuegou'er also went out and sat next to Qi Qiang. There were only three people left in the curtain, Li Shi, Shen Yuezhi and her, and five seats were empty in the eight tables, and they were suddenly deserted, and they couldn't help laughing, "The three of us, can we eat the dishes of eight tables?" β
Li and Shen Yuezhi also laughed, and Li nodded and said, "If it is a family banquet, although the Fourteenth Master is a prince, it is still inconvenient. They were originally born in the courtyard, and they usually accompany the gentlemen, so it doesn't hurt to go out. β
Qi Su Niang said with a smile: "They must take turns singing, and we can also feast our ears." Seeing that Li and Shen Yuezhi were talking about poetry from time to time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Bi'er behind him: "Fortunately, there are not enough people, and there are singing songs outside, otherwise it is necessary to combine poems." β
Bi'er laughed, and also whispered: "Di Da is so careful, I didn't expect the fourteenth master to bring anyone here, and he prepared two people for him." He smiled again: "The troupe of Sanqingyuan is here, and the aunts and grandmothers outside may not be on the stage." β
Outside the curtain, the actors of Sanqing Garden presented an excerpt list with a red lacquer plate, and invited the grandfather and grandmother to order the play. The fourteenth elder brother ordered the fold "You Palace" in "The Legend of the West Chamber", and waved his hand and asked the ladies to order.
Li, Shen Yuezhi, and Qi Su Niang humbly gave in, and the oldest Li took the play list from the lacquer plate, and said with a smile: "The fourteenth master's fold "You Dian" has some exquisiteness, and this fold is about the little monk Facong of the Pufu Temple who accompanied Zhang Sheng to enjoy the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and met Miss Cui Yingying and the matchmaker. Aren't we also visiting this Fayuan Temple today? Aren't the gentlemen outside and these Xinna's partial houses corresponding to Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying? The fourteenth master is at the right time. β
Qi Su Niang never expected Li to be so funny, thinking that Meng Tiejian, Luo Shiqing, and Di Fengru had become white-faced Zhang Sheng in her eyes, and couldn't help laughing.
Shen Yuezhi covered her mouth and smiled, "If you say that, you have to call a monk from Fayuan Temple to wait here, so that you can really respond to this drama." It's just that I don't know if there is a little monk named Fa Cong in this temple.
β
Qi Su Niang said with a smile, "Sisters, could it be that the girl who serves tea and wine inside and outside here is the matchmaker?" There are really a lot of matchmakers today. β
The Sanqingyuan drama who sent the play list and the daughters-in-law and girls standing behind the three of them all laughed, and said with a smile: "Grandma makes fun of the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids wait for the grandmothers to sit in the curtain, even if they want to be matchmakers, they can't catch up with the sisters outside, right?"
