It's April in the blink of an eye.

It has been nearly half a month since Hua Jin and his entourage entered Beijing.

Zhangfu's new house is in the east of the capital, and it is a four-entry house.

This is today's Jingning Marquis Mansion.

Every inch of land in the imperial city, especially in the eastern city, it is not easy to buy such a house.

Even if it is not as spacious as the ancestral house in Texas, the eldest lady Wang never smiled on the day she moved in.

The courtyard of the four entrances is in the middle and the upper room is the courtyard of the lord and the eldest lady.

It is said that this is the name given by King Su, which makes the eldest lord and eldest lady even more overjoyed.

And the residences of several girls are on West Road, Hua Jin and Hua Rui and Hua Qi live in Fangfei Pavilion, and Hua Fei and Hua Cai live in Fanghua Pavilion.

The courtyard on East Road has not yet been picked up, and Wang said that he was in a hurry to come this time, so he first let Hua Kun and Hua Chen live in the outer courtyard.

But Hua Jin felt that the Wang family in the courtyard to the east had other plans, presumably to leave it to the eldest brother to marry.

Three days ago, the eldest lord had gone to the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army to serve as the commander of the Jingwei Command, and the eldest lady was also a veritable official wife.

When the juniors went to the courtyard to ask for peace again, the smile on the eldest lady's face became brighter.

However, according to Hua Jin, this laugh is mainly due to the fact that the eldest master has been staying in the inner courtyard recently.

There was no movement on the side of King Su's Mansion in this half moon, and the sisters had not even seen the legendary King Su.

In addition, there are no impermeable walls in this world.

Hua Tong is terminally ill, and the purpose of taking his sisters to Beijing is already well known to everyone.

It's just that it didn't say anything.

Although it is a stepfamily, it is also a princess, and everyone will have some fluctuations in their hearts.

However, these days in Beijing, Hua Jin doesn't have to worry about household chores, but has a lot of time to paint Danqing.

At this time, she looked at the "Flying Flower Picture" that had just been completed in front of her, and saw that the flying petals were like falling water, so she was satisfied with the pen and washed it.

When she painted Danqing, she didn't like to be served by her side, so she sent someone alone in the small study every time.

After washing the pen, hanging it on the pen holder of yellow rosewood, and putting the painting score left by Yan back on the bookshelf, his eyes inadvertently or intentionally saw the box carved in rosewood.

The workmanship and carving of this wooden box alone are beautiful, not to mention the golden knife inside.

This wooden box was found on the last time she went to Wenyuan Pavilion before leaving Beijing, when she set off for home and stepped into the carriage.

Hua Jin opened the wooden box and saw the delicate golden knife, the handle of the antelope horn, and the scabbard of the rhinoceros horn inlaid with turquoise, coral and glass.

She grabbed the hilt of the knife and pulled it out of its sheath, and the blade immediately emitted a dazzling golden glow, reflecting patterns on the small face of Huajin porcelain.

The knife is also engraved with a pattern, which happens to be exactly the same as the square handkerchief lying in the box at this time.

It was the square handkerchief that Hua Jin had lost, which he had picked up, and copied the pattern on the knife.

This handkerchief Hua Jin has always suspected that it was picked up by her former scumbag brother-in-law Zhao Xin, and then Zhao Xin ended up like that, and she didn't look for any trace of this handkerchief.

No, it turned out that Zhao Xin's leg was discounted because of his credit.

It's also black enough.

But what exactly does it mean to give a girl a knife?

Self-defense?

Such a delicate knife?

Or use its beauty to distract your enemies?

Hua Jin smiled unconsciously, wiped the blade with a handkerchief, and inserted it into the scabbard.

I thought of his smile for no reason, and it was as beautiful as this knife.

"Five girls." A sound outside the curtain was like a pebble into a lake, and it plopped and destroyed the ripples that had risen in her heart.

Yes, the peach.

Hua Jin put the knife back into the box and hid it behind the book, "Come in." ”

Zhitao lifted the curtain and came in, "Fifth girl, the maid from the Wuyuan Courtyard came to inform her, saying that the eldest lady invited the girl to come over." I saw that after she went out of our main room, she went to the east and west wings, and she must have been invited by every girl. ”

Now Hua Jin lives in the main house of Fangfei Pavilion, and Hua Rui and Hua Qi live in the east and west wings.

On the other side of the Fanghua Pavilion, Hua Fei lives in the main house, and Hua Cai lives in the East Wing.

Listening to Zhi Tao's words, Hua Jin nodded.

But when he saw the peach looking at the painting on the bookcase, his eyes almost fell out.

"The fifth girl is really making rapid progress! This flower and this tree are as lifelike as they are in the garden! Somewhat incredulous, he walked over to the bookcase and looked at it carefully.

Oops, this time the painting forgot to hide.

"These days, sometimes the painting is good, sometimes the painting is not good, and it is very unstable."

"That's already good, Fifth Girl." Zhi Tao's gaze was still lingering on the painting, "The fifth girl is really good, no matter what she does, she is outstanding." ”

"Don't forget the embroidery." Hua Jin could only laugh at himself and change the topic.

With a teacher like Du Niangzi, she is still stagnant in embroidery.

Although embroidery and painting both fall under the category of art.

Now the eldest lady has invited Du Niangzi to teach a few girls embroidery in the house.

can let Du Niangzi get an extra monthly salary, and Hua Jin is also happy to see it.

The master and servant walked out of the main room while talking, and happened to see Hua Rui and Hua Qi who had just gone out in the courtyard.

"Fifth sister."

also said hello, and then Hua Rui still hung her head and looked at the embroidered shoes on her feet and walked.

Since Aunt Tong and Hua Wei went to Liuyunguan together, her temperament has become even more silent.

And Hua Qi happily next to Hua Jin, a few people out of the moon gate of the Fangfei Pavilion and then met Hua Fei and Hua Cai who came out of the Fanghua Pavilion.

The sisters laughed and soon arrived at the courtyard.

It is not far from the garden in the house, and there is a row of peach trees outside the courtyard, which is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the petals blow into the courtyard one after another when the wind blows.

The five girls walked in under the rain of petals, flying flowers around the beauty, and even the eldest lady Wang who was leaning against the window and looking outside couldn't help but sigh: "The ancestors of the Zhang family really accumulated virtue, and the girls were born more beautiful than the other, and they were worried that the prince would not look down on them?" ”

With that, he got up and went to the Ming Hall outside.

Now Mrs. Jingninghou's shelf is okay, and there are no special circumstances to see that these juniors are all in the Ming Hall, sitting on the chair of the Taishi at the top.

Waiting for them to settle down in the morning and dusk.

Today is no exception.

The girls went into the main room and greeted the eldest lady, although they had only come before breakfast.

"Stop being polite." The eldest lady smiled and let the girls sit on the side of the head, and ordered the maid to serve tea.

When the five sisters of Huajin sat down steadily, they said straight to the point: "Your eldest sister just sent a post, and in three days, we will hold a flower viewing party in the palace, so that all the ladies in our family will go." ”

When the words fell, the maid Xiangfei beside her came over with a tray, and there were five gilded posts on it.
