Chapter 5 Entering the Yellow Mansion for the First Time
"That's good." Huang Hui sat down, "Then let's stop caring about him." ”
At this time, the downstairs booth is also beginning to be lively, today's poem title is a "month" word, upstairs and downstairs in the wing room of the literati and scholars have written poems and verses are very happy, if it is really won the inverted color, everyone is also a laugh, and the applause has a doctor to hang it in the hall for appreciation, in order to evaluate the top three.
Huang Hui waved his sleeves and said, "This poetry will be really boring." ”
Lin Yun'er agreed, "It's really boring, it's not early, we should go back." ”
"Good! Let's go back. Huang Hui sighed lightly, he originally wanted to make his little sister happy, but he didn't want to be like this, he was not in the mood to see which Lang Jun's talent was good, and which Lang Jun's poetry was perfect.
The general walked out of the wing room, and a goose-yellow figure came to meet her, Lin Yun'er felt Huang Hui's body pause, she looked at him, only to feel that his face was actually red, and she was also secretly planning in her heart, so she wanted to look at the person from a distance, but the person had already stood in front of the two of him.
The femininity is extraordinary, the slender jade neck looks extremely white and transparent under the goose yellow robe, a small face, extremely delicate, the eyes are low but it looks very smooth, a spirit snake bun on the head, clean but extremely virtuous temperament, like a dark orchid quietly opening in a quiet place, although not amazing, but the more you look at it, the more charming, the figure is very slender, it seems that you can't see the age clearly.
The third lady bowed and said, "Huang Xiaosan Lang, my son has saluted." ”
Huang Hui was confused, on weekdays, the third lady never looked at anyone differently, let alone such a greeting, Huang Hui's hands trembled a little, "The third lady is polite." ”
The third lady said again, "Yaxing, who disturbed Huang Xiaosaburo and this lady, is a poor greeting from the contemptible residence, and I hope that the distinguished guests will not be blamed." ”
Huang Hui thought that they only ate some snacks and left, and the third lady felt that she was not taking good care of herself and blamed herself, and said again and again, "It's okay, Qinxiangju's dim sum has always been the most famous in the whole of Kyoto, and we have never disliked it." ”
The third lady smiled lightly and raised her head slightly, looking at Lin Yun'er, "I don't know what flavor of tea soup this lady prefers?" If the lady is lucky enough to come next time, she can also instruct the people to get ready. ”
Lin Yun'er was instantly shocked by Qin Xiangju's attitude, even in the future generations, no one will take the guest's soft taste to heart, and this Qin Xiangju can ask about the preferences in detail after the guest leaves, such a shop, I am afraid it will be difficult to offend people.
Lin Wan'er was silent for a moment, she didn't want to refute Huang Hui's face, and bowed slightly to the third lady, "Clear tea is enough, thank you for the kindness of the third lady." ”
"This lady's voice is very pleasant." The third lady laughed, as if a spring wind gently swept through the mountains in the early morning. "In that case, I would like to thank you both."
Immediately, the third lady flashed and made way for the two of them, Huang Hui had not yet shaken his senses in the joy of the party, until Lin Yun'er gently pushed back to his senses, turned around and saw that the third lady had not left, so he saluted her from afar, slightly sorted out his outfits, and strode downstairs.
Just because the third lady is one of the best characters in Qinxiangju, so at this corner it also attracted the attention of the entire gentlemen who came to Qinxiangju, and some were still watching in front of the steps, I don't know if they are used to being watched like this or are not familiar with the environment here.
Huang Hui was immersed in the joy of Fang Cai and did not notice it, Lin Yun'er was only Ziwei alone by her side, seeing that she was about to fall down the wooden stairs, fortunately she was held tightly by Ziwei, and there was no accident, but the power fence on her head fell to the ground with her movements.
A waterfall-like green silk rises with the wind, and only two delicate magnolia hostas are used on the head to make this small bun, two strands of green silk hang lightly on the cheeks, setting off the cheeks that are not powdered and more tender and dripping, the eyes are lowered, the red lips are lightly opened, and there is no panic on the face, but the bandaging circle around the neck is even more eye-catching. When Ziwei picked up the fence and put it on, she continued to walk down as if nothing had happened.
At a glance, it seems to be a heavenly immortal.
When she arrived in the car, Ziwei was still shocked, and patted her chest again and again, "Lady, it's really dangerous!" Fortunately, the slave and maid moved quickly, otherwise they would have let those disciples take a look! ”
Lin Yun'er had already sensed that the corners of her skirt were tripped by something, so she was not surprised, she was just wondering, why didn't Sanniangzi and Cui Yun wear a fence when they went out, but she wanted to wear it instead? After thinking about it, maybe it was the rule here, so I didn't ask too much. And Huang Hui hadn't woken up from his trance for a while, his face was so red that he had no intention of subsiding. Originally, he drove the carriage, but he followed them into the carriage, sat upright on the seat, and drank tea with a smile.
"It's been three months! For three whole months, I have come to Qinxiangju every day, and every time I must order the original flowers of the three ladies, I finally got her reply today! The general drank a cup of tea, but he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.
Only then did Lin Wan'er know why he was wearing such a red and willow green today, but he came to see the three ladies, but in the eyes of the three ladies, Lin Wan'er could see that she might not be able to look at Huang Hui, and she didn't want to kill his interest, so she had to echo, "Yes, after so many days, it is not in vain that you have wasted some of your efforts." ”
"It's a great day!" Huang Hui got up with a smile and prepared to go out and drive.
Before the car moved, Lin Yun'er couldn't hide her curiosity and lifted the window to look out, but saw them slowly driving out through a wide door. "Girl, where are we now?"
When Ziwei heard this, she laughed lightly, "The lady is afraid that she will be frightened and confused by what happened to Fang Cai." We are now in the East City, from the East City out of the Fang Gate to the north, through the Shengxing Fang and then to the west is our Huangfu is located in the Chongrenfang District, about the time of two incense, the lady can take a nap. ”
Lin Yun'er was really curious, and she didn't want to put down her hand when she lifted the car window, looking out the window.
She thought that their carriage should occupy half of the road, but she did not want the road to be very spacious, afraid that there could be seven or eight carriages at the same time, and it was forbidden to run horses in the city, so the road was full of pedestrians except for the slow carriages, but the pedestrians here had not reached the point of rubbing shoulders, and there were some shops on the street from time to time, and all she could see was what kind of gold shop, what kind of cloth village, and it was extremely classy when viewed from the outside in.
I don't know how many miles to go, the car went out of the door, entered another door, most of the buildings in the square are horizontal, the white walls are tiled, very regular, some buildings have a layer of rammed walls outside the building, as if enclosing a courtyard in general.
Ziwei was right, they stopped at an earthen wall after only two incense sticks, and in Darui, princes and nobles and officials above the third grade could enter and exit without going through the door, so when they went out of Shengxingfang, they never entered the door again, but stopped under this wall. There is an aconitum door in the middle of the wall, which looks simple, but it looks very finely carved, and the three pillars of two vertical and one horizontal stand upright there, and they are painted all black, and it looks solemn.
At this time, Huang Hui came in from outside, took off the gorgeous green robe on his body, and said hurriedly, "Grandfather doesn't like me to wear this color, but I just remembered." ”
Under the green robe, there is a light blue underwear, which not only looks no longer exaggerated, but also adds a little scholarly atmosphere. But Lin Yuner knew that if he had studied poetry deeply, he would not shout boring at the poetry competition.
In a few breaths, the carriage set off and passed through the Aconitum Gate, dozens of steps ahead there is a white wall and red door with heavy eaves and heavy buildings, the door is about a few zhang high, it looks very solemn and magnificent, only in front of the door, the carriage stopped again, Ziwei pulled Lin Yun'er's sleeve, and said softly, "Lady, we have arrived." ”
Lin Yun'er suddenly clenched her hands into fists, her palms were slightly sweaty, she had only heard of these so-called family members in the rumors, but when she really met them, she would inevitably be nervous in her heart, but she didn't know that there was also a trace of expectation in this nervousness.
As soon as he got out of the car, a small servant placed a couch under the car, and from the left-hand side of the chamber, a few people came out one after another, an old man with a child around his waist took the whip from Huang Hui's hand and pulled the carriage to the stable.
Although Lin Yun'er didn't read many history books, she had watched some of the corresponding episodes, and she knew that large families generally don't open the door, and they usually enter the door through a small door, so she wanted to look around where there was a small door and a back door to enter.
Ziwei pulled her again and showed her the way, "Lady, please." ”
Huang Hui led her through a side door at the main entrance, Lin Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, she was not reckless, otherwise she would really be embarrassed.
Just enter the door, is the outer house, the outer house has a huge yard, this courtyard heard Ziwei said that there have been many polo matches, after the courtyard is the main hall, this main hall is the place where the adults in the house and the officials and distinguished guests of the court and the guests discussed, they have not stayed for a long time, after the main hall and then through a few corridors and corridors to see the two gates, into the two doors is the inner house.
The layout of the Yellow Mansion looks extremely solemn and magnificent from the outside, but in terms of scale, it is only below the middle in the Tiandu capital, and some of the mansions of those dignitaries are more than one or two times larger than the Yellow Mansion.
The inner house originally had four courtyards, east, south, west and middle, but Huang Yu's two brothers opened another mansion, and only Huang Yu's west courtyard and Huangliang's middle courtyard were left in this Huang mansion. The courtyard is also full of garden scenery, there are pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions, rockeries, a lotus pond, there is a green lotus leaf standing in the pavilion, and the lotus leaves are dotted with pink hibiscus, or budding, or blooming, or withering. Beyond the lotus pond, there is a rockery forest, lifelike like strange rocks, and it is also a good scenery.
Lin Yuner has also seen a few times of Suzhou's gardens, but now what she sees can not be compared, Suzhou gardens are complex but exquisite, and the landscape seen at this moment is gentle and atmospheric but also not small, if the garden is a small jasper, then here is everyone's beauty.
