Chapter 50: Shen Dangu
Occupy the geographical advantage, the first to arrive is the next person of the Otter Pavilion, it is an old servant with two or three young boys, they heard that Zhuo Zhi'an fell into the water, and was urged by A Xing to come over, but when they came to the front, they saw that Shen Dangu was also covered in water, and they couldn't help but be taken aback, and the old servant especially 'revealed' his worried 'color'.
Shen Dangu raised his sleeves and wiped the water on his face, and said, "Don't worry about me, Junu, take off your robe and give it to Xiao Shilang to put it on first, otherwise it will be easy to feel cold when wearing wet clothes and being blown by the wind." β
Hearing this, one of the little servants hurriedly took off his robe and held it with both hands for Zhuo Zhi'an in the early autumn, at this time Zhuo Zhi'an coughed a little frequently, the old servant was worried about Shen Dangu, and the other saw Zhuo Zhaojie here, so he persuaded him: "The fourth room is far away, and the Chenguang that people need to come over is also long, Niangzi, Lang Jun, it is better to take Xiao Shilang to our Otter Pavilion to bathe first, and then drink some ginger soup, after all, now the 'spring' cold is still there, if you drag it back to the fourth room and then clean it up, I am afraid that the cold will deepen, which is not good for Xiao Shilang." β
Zhuo Zhaojie looked at Zhuo Zhi'an's pale face, and was afraid that he would not fall ill because of his young age, so he nodded and said, "I'm tired of Shen Langjun." β
"Xiao Qi Niang is polite." Shen Dangu glanced at the old servant and said lightly.
The old servant called a small servant to pick up Zhuo Zhi'an, wrapped in the outer robe of the slave, and hurriedly walked to the 'gate' of the garden together, until he came out of the garden, only to see Ah Li leading the people from the fifth room over, seeing that Zhuo Zhi'an had been rescued, and it was obviously Shen Dangu's water, and the people in the fifth room were beaten by a 'woman' to apologize to Zhuo Zhaojie and Zhuo Zhi'an: "Our mother-in-law who guards the 'door' in the fifth room is lazy, and there is no one in front of him, not Ah Li to say, I really don't know that someone has come to look for it, and I almost missed a big thing!" It's a shame that Xiao Shilang is fine, it's really auspicious people who have their own blessings, and the maid will have to tell Mrs. when she goes back in a while, and she must punish that woman heavily! β
Zhuo Zhaojie because Zhuo Zhi'an has been rescued, and secondly, he is in a hurry to clean up for Zhuo Zhi'an, and now this 'woman' is also low-lying and small, in the end, it is not good to investigate the five rooms here, so he said: "When people are always negligent, this time it is also the life of the tenth brother, this sister-in-law is polite." β
The 'woman' smiled humbly: "The maid's surname is Liu, and she is the dowry of the fifth lady, so Xiao Qiniang just calls me Liu." β
"Sister-in-law Liu." Zhuo Zhaojie said, "Sister-in-law Lao ran for such a trip in vain, I really can't help it. β
"Where does Xiao Qi Niang dare to be a servant like this?" Liu said with a smile, "It's not good for us to say it, Mrs. has been a little tired these days, and the maid is useless, so I didn't notice that the mother-in-law in front of me was lazy - Mrs. This will not be very good, Ming'er, I will definitely go to apologize to the fourth lady in person!" β
Zhuo Zhaojie said: "The fifth aunt is not good? Then don't move - in the end, the tenth brother is not a big deal, and besides, the fifth aunt is our elder, how can there be a reason to ask the elders to apologize for the younger generations? β
She was polite with the Liu family here, Zhuo Zhi'an was hugged by the little girl, although he couldn't stop coughing, but he could hear every sentence clearly, if it was normal, although he was young, he also knew that some words were just talking, and they couldn't be true, but at this moment, he was resentful of Zhuo Zhaojie in his heart, and he thought sadly while coughing: "Yes, Seventh Sister, she doesn't care about my life or death, and even Wufang deliberately neglected Feng'er's call for help, and let it go lightly, it's just because he doesn't like me, Speaking of which, I haven't offended this sister before, why did she let me go? Is it because although I am a concubine, my mother has raised me personally, and she has been raised outside as a concubine, so I am not angry and can't see me? β
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't know that it was just such a little effort, she offended her cousin who had never seen her twice, the fifth room and the fourth room have always been not good, and now Zhuo Zhi'an has been rescued again, Liu Shi felt that he had nothing to do, and heard the old servant of the Shui Shui Pavilion say that he would take Zhuo Zhi'an to the Shui Xian Pavilion to clean up first and then go back to the fourth room, so he naturally said goodbye with a comprehension.
This otter pavilion is actually a single courtyard separated from the original five rooms, which is lush and full of plants and trees, and when you step into the 'door', you feel extraordinarily quiet, but the grass and trees are too lush, and it inevitably looks a little 'gloomy' on a sunny day like this day.
Passing through the courtyard almost covered with grass and trees, there is a two-story small building, and there is a corridor about two feet above the ground outside the building.
Shen Dangu stretched out his hand to greet the guests, asked Zhuo Zhaojie and his party to take off their clogs and go to the porch, and said: "Xiao Qi Niang, please take a break in the main hall first, let them take care of Xiao Shilang to bathe and change clothes, and I will ask the kitchen to boil ginger soup." β
When he said the word "change", he reminded Zhuo Zhaojie, turned around and asked Ah Xing and Ah Li, "Why haven't the people in our room come yet?" β
Ah Xing hurriedly said: "Xu was delayed by things? β
Zhuo Zhaojie frowned and said, "You go back and get clothes for Xiao Shilang." β
"No need." Zhuo Zhi'an suddenly stopped coughing and said in a low voice, "Feng'er, go get it, Sister A-Xing may not know where my clothes are." β
Feng Er was worried that he was on the side when Zhuo Zhi'an had an accident this time, and he didn't know how to 'communicate' with You's generation, so he wished to do more to alleviate some of the fear in his heart, so he hurriedly agreed.
Shen Dangu nodded to Zhuo Zhao and said, "Xiao Qi Niang sits less, I will lose the company first, but the slave remembers to serve tea." β
"I'm tired of Shen Langjun today." Zhuo Zhaojie bowed slightly, and watched the old servant lead Zhuo Zhi'an to take a bath, Shen Dangu also had to go down to change clothes and clean up, and there was only a handsome little servant left in the main hall in an instant.
Zhuo Zhaojie took a sip of tea, then he had the kung fu to look around, the main hall furnishings of the Otter Pavilion are the consistent beauty of the Hou Mansion, the first eight-fold gold lacquer dot cui glazed screen is very eye-catching, this screen bears the figure-eight base, the screen frame is black lacquered, decorated with gold painting techniques for all kinds of folded branches 'flower' flowers, the black 'color' sand in the center of the screen, inlaid with various 'flower' flowers with dot cui techniques, each screen frame is inlaid with glass, the skirt is decorated with sill-patterned end angles, and the middle is the gold-painted branch 'flower' Hui, and the surrounding is decorated with gold lacquer painted side teeth and screen hats Noteββ This screen alone is worth a lot of money, not to mention the exotic mandala branches and leaves under the feet are ankle-lengthening with a full set of pineapple wood utensils, and there are many gold or 'jade' small ornaments around, but the original bejeweled place should be a little magnificent, but this room gives people the same feeling as the courtyard outside that is shaded by grass and trees.
Compared with the after, it is a bush of plantains behind the house that is 'exposed' in the half-open back window, and the color is very new and green, which is set off extraordinarily bright.
Zhuo Zhaojie was staring at the banana, there was a sound of footsteps on the porch outside, she thought it was someone from the fourth room coming, but she didn't want it to be Shen Dangu, probably for the sake of hospitality, he changed into a blue deep coat, tied with a silk belt around his waist, wearing a 'jade' hanging silk, wearing clogs, and the wide sleeves of the deep coat were fluttering, but he hurriedly folded it back, his hair had not been dried yet, and he only took a blue 'colored' ribbon to loosely tie it - the hair was becoming more and more pitch-black, lining his face like a beautiful 'jade', especially eye-catching in the inner room where the 'yin' darkness lingered.
Seeing him come in, Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly got up and greeted: "I lost Shen Langjun today." β
"I have been generously gifted by the Zhuo family, and I can't repay it, today's things are just a gesture." Shen Dangu invited her to sit down, sat down in the main seat, and said calmly, "What's more, Xiao Qi Niang is already rescued, even if I don't see it, it doesn't hurt to think that Xiao Shilang." β
Zhuo Zhaojie because he is the Shen family, and the Shen family received the Zhuo family, from the beginning of hearing about him, he had a defensive and alienated heart, but after a few contacts, he did not leave any bad impression, at this moment, Shen Dangu's expression was calm, his words were sincere, and he did not take the opportunity to save Zhuo Zhi's peace and make contributions, let alone seize this opportunity to accuse himself of not being effective in helping his half-brother, but he changed his opinion of him a little, and said: "Where is it?" I just came back, I haven't been to the garden yet, I don't know where it is convenient to go ashore, but I asked the tenth brother to stay in the water for a long time, if you don't meet him, the tenth brother will continue to suffer. β
"Now that the matter has passed, Xiao Qi Niang doesn't have to worry." Shen Dan Ancient Road.
After such politeness, Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't think of anything to talk to him for a while, Shen Dangu also didn't know what to say, the hall was quiet for a moment, Shen Dangu suddenly remembered, and said to the only slave next to him: "Did you bring the sword back?" β
Wei Nu was stunned for a moment and said, "Lang Jun dropped his sword in the peach 'flower' forest?" β
"No, on the arch bridge where Kojuro fell into the water." Shen Dangu seemed to attach great importance to that sword, and after listening to Wei Nu's answer, he knew that they didn't bring it back by the way, so he almost stood up directly, and only when he made a gesture did he remember that Zhuo Zhaojie was still there, so he said, "Hurry up and get it back!" β
Weinu didn't dare to slack off, and said, "Yes! β
Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly comforted: "Shen Langjun doesn't have to worry, after all, it is a garden in the mansion, and no outsiders will pass by, so I think that even if it is taken away, it will not be discarded indiscriminately." "But it's not ours, I also watched you put your sword on the railing, and when you came, you actually forgot it." β
Ah Xing said: "The lady just remembered Xiao Shilang, but we didn't care about being a servant, but we forgot to remind the lady and Shen Langjun." β
When she said this, all the messengers made amends.
Shen Dangu smiled bitterly and said, "I forgot it myself, how can I blame you?" And what Xiao Qi Niang said is that things just fall in the garden, and it will be fine, but I am too anxious. β
It was said that at this time, he should explain a few words why he was in such a hurry to use a sword, but Shen Dangu didn't mean this, and the words stopped here.
Zhuo Zhaojie felt slightly embarrassed, but she and Shen Dangu were not familiar with each other, and there was really no topic to talk about at the moment, so she thought for a while before finding one thing, and said: "I heard that the compound road of Jinghonglou is planted with a dill - colorful waterfall Feihong, and now the Xinghai Waterfall is Shen Langjun's suggestion, and I haven't thanked Shen Langjun yet." β
Shen Dangu smiled lightly and said: "Xiao Qi Niang is too polite, at the beginning, Xiao Wu Niang mentioned that although it is convenient for the two floors of Jinghong, but because Xiao Qi Niang has not returned to Chang'an at that time, the use of the double road is not much, but it is blocked above the apricot forest below, there is some inconvenience, I just thought of the trestle bridge on the Shu Road, I heard that some trestle bridges cross the stream and cross the abyss, because of the long-term construction of Chenguang, the dust accumulated between the iron cables, and some Lili vines can also be born, which are embellished on the bridge body, so I said a word, but it was Xiao Wu Niang who cleaned up with his heart, so that there was a view of the Apricot Sea Waterfall. β
"Shen Langjun has been to Shudi?" Zhuo Zhaojie asked curiously, "I have heard that Shu is difficult and difficult to go to the blue sky, but in the travelogue I read, it is also mentioned that the customs of Shu are beautiful, which is not found anywhere else, especially - monkey wine, it is said that the person who wrote the travelogue found it by chance in Emei Mountain, it is made by monkeys picking a hundred fruits, which is said to be sweet and mellow, and it is different." β
Before Shen Dangu could answer, Ah Li had already said curiously: "Lady, isn't it the person who wrote the travelogue who made it up nonsense?" Monkeys are not human, how can they make wine? β
"The world is so big, there are no wonders, I couldn't believe it at first, I asked my grandfather, and my grandfather said that there is." Zhuo Zhaojie said, "And it's not just Emei Mountain, there are also in the deep mountains next to it." β
"Hey, then our Chang'an is close to Zhongnan Mountain, and Zhongnan Mountain is also a famous mountain, I don't know if there is one?" Ah Li stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "If there is, when we go to escape the summer, we will also go to find the monkey brew?" β
Ah Xing said angrily: "Don't 'mess' and say, Zhongnan Mountain is very big, we don't go into the mountains to escape the summer, 'mess' with the lady, go back carefully and the lady will punish you!" β
At the mention of You's, Ah Li suddenly shrank her head and stopped talking.
Shen Dangu waited for the 'female' to stop talking before shaking his head and saying, "I haven't been to Shudi. β
He said slowly, "But at home...... Someone is from Shuzhong, I ...... When I was young...... I heard her talk about the customs of Shu, and I also heard Shu songs...... It is true that the roads there are difficult, but the scenery is wonderful, and there is no other place. β
Seeing that his expression was indifferent, it was difficult to hide the melancholy "color", Zhuo Zhaojie keenly guessed that the "someone" he said was probably his biological mother.
It is said that Shen Dangu's biological mother, from a humble background, although she gave birth to Shen Dangu for Shen Yu, but she didn't even get the title of 'servant' concubine, according to the rules, Shen Dangu couldn't call her a mother at all, thinking of this, Zhuo Zhaojie decided to change the topic.
