Chapter 30: Hanmei Aoxue
Ling'er said in her heart: "Our aunt really has a good one, and you did it, why is it to blame me?" But he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so he hurriedly stepped forward and helped Aunt Zhang up.
Mengxi saw that the aunts all got up and stood on both sides, so she said:
"Everyone is tired today, let's go back first, you don't have to come over for lunch and dinner" said as he waved everyone away, and said to the red apricot who was standing aside:
"Go and command, it's late tonight, so you don't need the girls to come and say goodbye."
Hongxing answered, went out and told the little maid to pass the word.
Mengxi felt really tired and sent everyone away, only then did she lean her stiff body back on the back of the chair and close her eyes.
……
What gave Mengxi a headache was that such awkward two people were tied together for half a month, which was not a pleasant thing, and she didn't want to get up every morning and stiffen half of her body. I had to find a way to move out.
After lunch, she took Hongzhu's hand and took the two little maids to the east wing, thinking that it would take a look first, and then find a way to find a reason to move here, which is not bad.
This east wing room is also three large rooms, enter the door and turn a large screen is the hall, every day let the aunts come here to ask for peace is not bad, Mengxi wants to walk into the north house, this is a bedroom, the table and chair inside and her new house are relatively simple, after all, it is a family, although it is simple, it is thousands of times better than that ordinary people, standing in front of the window of the north house, just can see that the back is a large garden, repaired pavilions and water pavilions, unique, but it is a quiet and elegant place, Mengxi suddenly liked here, I can't move in immediately, but I can't do it too eye-catching for three days after I got married, and I will clean it up first.
"Does the second master come to this house on weekdays?" After taking a turn in the north house, Mengxi casually asked Hongzhu who was following him.
"The second master returns to the courtyard on weekdays, and most of the time is in the inner study, and the wings on both sides have been empty, so there is no furniture."
Mengxi looked at the pottery and antiques collected on the shelves on both sides, all of which were full of luxury.
Depend on! It's also called not pressing any furniture.
"Where's my dowry?"
When I talked about this house, I asked about the dowry again? This grandmother's thinking is beating too fast, Hongzhu looked at the second grandmother strangely and replied:
"It's all left in the west room of the upper room, thinking that when the second grandmother has time, check it, and then decide how to place it"
"Okay, send a few people to clean this, move the dowry to the south house of the east wing, these small rocks and incense cases are withdrawn, those murals remain, this is placed a bookcase, you can learn to read books, find some four treasures of the study, send here, by the way, put a soft collapse by the window, don't be red on the bed, well, you want a pink ......"
"Second grandma wants to move here?" Hongzhu listened to the placement of the second grandmother and hurriedly asked.
"Thinking about packing up, it's not bad to come over occasionally to write and read"
"The second grandmother wants to write, there is a special study room in this courtyard, and you can also set up a simple one in the south house, how can there be a rule for putting the bookcase in the bedroom"
"Distance, is it the family rule of the Xiao Mansion?"
Hearing Hongzhu say this, she was stunned, she just wanted to put a bookcase in the bedroom, so that she was tired of reading and practicing calligraphy, and she could lie directly on the bed to rest, her modern life is like this, but she didn't expect to meet the non-compliant distance, Hongzhu mentioned, she was shocked into a cold sweat, she had been holding the gauge distance for the past two days, and knew that the gauge in the courtyard of this deep house was terrible, so she was always cautious, so she asked nervously, thinking that it was really not in compliance with the distance, so she put the bookcase in the south house. If you have time, you must study the house rules of this Xiao Mansion.
Hongzhu said in her heart, why are these words so scathing, she also kindly reminded the second grandmother, glanced at the second grandmother, and replied cautiously:
"It's not the Xiao family's house rules, it's a routine, ordinary people generally don't have such a layout, only those poor people's homes, because there are too few houses, so the study is set in the bedroom"
"It's not a house rule, just clean it up as I say"
"The furniture in this house is too simple, and some have been moved out, do you want to go back to the second grandmother and fill in some more?"
"No, that's fine, move that shelf to the library with all the ornaments on it"
"Then there will be nothing left in this house"
"I just like this, spacious and bright, by the way, I don't need to tell the second master about the things in this house, I'll talk to him in person another day"
Hongzhu didn't dare to say anything more in front of the second grandmother, she now had to tell the second master this, the second master would not step into this house, what does this grandmother like to do, it's up to her to do it, it's better to hide it from the second master, otherwise she will be idle, so she nodded:
"Second grandma rest assured, the slave knows what to do"
Coming out of the north house, Mengxi came to the south house again, the layout of the south house is a small living room, smaller than the north house, there is a small compartment outside the north house, for the night vigil maid to live, the south house does not, Mengxi can't remember what the south house can be used for the time being, so he didn't let people clean up, only let people clean up, turned around and looked up, and saw a mural hanging on the wall facing the window, but it was a lonely branch of cold plum proudly in the snow, unconsciously thinking of himself, just like this branch of cold plum, a lonely wisp of ghost, came to this strange ancient time, Alone in this Xiao Mansion compound, I just want to live well, why did I get involved in the dispute between this wife and concubine? Thinking like this, he casually said:
Lonely and ownerless by the broken bridge outside the post
It's dusk, and I'm alone with the wind and rain
I have no intention of fighting for spring, and I am jealous
Scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before
"The second grandmother is so literate, Hongmei is proud of snow, this artistic conception is so beautiful" Hongzhu listened to it and didn't feel stupid.
Mengxi looked back at Hongzhu: "Haven't you heard this song before?" ”
"Isn't this what the second grandmother did?"
"This is what a predecessor did" Mengxi remembered that this poem was written by Lu You in the Southern Song Dynasty, so he said casually.
"Who did it before? Most of the poets and maids of the predecessors have read it, but have you really not heard it? Hongzhu said again.
Mengxi remembered that she didn't know anything about the history of Daqi, but she was sure that this was by no means a dynasty in the history of her time and space, and it seemed that this Daqi should have deviated from the trajectory of the history she knew before the Tang and Song dynasties, so thinking like this, she didn't say much, only said:
"I just think this poem is very suitable for this painting, it is better to find someone to write a, and match it next to this painting, the poetry is picturesque, and the painting follows the poetry."
Hongzhu looked at the second grandmother strangely, obviously she wrote it, but she didn't admit it, and secretly thought, this is because she is afraid that the second master will know the taboo, in fact, the second master is different from ordinary people, so he is not so pedantic, thinking that a woman is not talented is virtuous, what the second master really likes is a talented woman, just look at these big girls around the second master, which one is not able to dance and write ink, fill in the lyrics, the reason why Aunt Li is so favored is not because she can make two small poems?
I opened my mouth to think about it, and nodded busily. Secretly said, but also with begging to write, it seems that the second grandmother really does not know the prestige of her own father in Pingyang City, the second master is with the current prince's staff Li Zhan, Ouyang Zhu, the son of the Ouyang family, and the poet Tao Jundong is equally famous, and called the four talents, the second master is especially calligraphy and painting as the most, this painting is made by the second master when he was a teenager, the second master's words are strong and powerful, the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the second master is in better health and begged him to write, the poem of the second grandmother, with the calligraphy and painting of the second master, hang here, it is really a perfect match.
