Chapter 4 Jinghong Building

Back in the fourth room, Zhuo Fangli and You's had to gather people to recognize the newly returned little master of the fourth room, the housekeeper of the fourth room, Ji Jiu, was the son of the Zhuo family, and his second son Ji Dingben was Zhuo Zhaozhen's little servant, and Zhuo Zhaozhi gradually became the steward of his yard after he became a family, and it was difficult for the male servant below to contact Zhuo Zhaojie.

The 'female' servant is headed by Aunt Mao, who is You's 'nurse' mother and marrying, born very generously, but has a very set of actions, which can be seen from the fact that the 'female' servants and 'women' under her are not decorated, neatly dressed and nimble.

The subordinates kowtowed to Zhuo Zhaojie, and received the reward money from the 'daughter' of the You family, most of them were sent down, and only a few people were left to serve.

Zhuo Zhaojie picked it up and said, because after all, she hadn't seen her for fourteen years, and she was born with her own flesh and bones, and she was born well.' Temperament looks also generous, from the words of Zhuo Fangdian just now, she is also a smart and clever little lady, Zhuo Fangli and You are very affectionate, although she knows that she has not suffered in You's family, but thinking of the young 'girl' growing up a little bit away from the mountains, all the joys, sorrows and sorrows can only be heard afterwards, can not be shared in time, listening to the You family can't help but shed tears, she cried, Zhuo Zhaoqiong and Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help it, suddenly sad, not like flesh and bones. He persuaded his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and he also wiped the corners of his eyes, in the end, Zhuo Fangli pressed the emotions in his heart, and repeatedly spoke to stop it, and the mother and daughter stopped talking about it for a long time, and the general things were 'handed over' over - of course, the matter of Ning Shaobi and Boya Zhai Zhuo Zhaojie was vague - Zhuo Zhi'an, the youngest son of the fourth room, who had been left out in the cold, finally found an opportunity to 'interject' and reminded: "Father, mother, two sisters, it's late, do you light the lamp first?" ”

It turned out that he was crying, but before he knew it, the sky had darkened.

Zhuo Fangli coughed and said, "Let's turn on the lights." He said You's again, "Isn't Qi Niang back well now?" It's too late for us to be happy, why are you crying? Look at the children crying. ”

You Shi was a little embarrassed when he said this, and in front of the juniors, he just smiled and said, "I'm crying with joy." ”

Despite this, after venting for so long, everyone's mood slowly stabilized, and Zhuo Zhaozhi reminded: "Zhaojie only used a little snack on the boat today, right?" ”

"Bring the food on the table." When You Shi heard this, he hurriedly ordered, and complained to Zhuo Zhaoqing, "Since you know, why didn't you say it earlier?" Hurt your sister to starve! ”

Zhuo Zhaozhi smiled and said, "Qi Niang just came back, and her mother doesn't hurt her son?" I wanted to say a few times that my mother ignored me. ”

Zhuo Zhaoqiong grew up under the knees of her parents, and at this moment she teased her brother: "It's rare to see the third brother snorting vinegar." ”

"Wu Niang, you have been out of the pavilion and don't know, the 'flower' wood of Jinghonglou has been turned three or four times this year, and the types have been changed and changed, it can be seen how much my mother hurts Qi Niang, where can I not sip vinegar?" Zhuo Zhaozhi replied with a smile.

Jinghonglou is the place where the four-room 'daughter' lives, it is a single 'door' courtyard, Zhuo Zhaoqiong used to live in the east building, the west building was originally prepared for Zhuo Zhaojie, but Zhuo Zhaojie was born and could not be raised, can only be fostered, it has been empty, now it is easy to come back, You Shi thought about how to compensate for this little 'girl' who is not around, it just so happened that Zhuo Zhaoqiong has been out of the cabinet, but he is vigorously tossing inside and outside the Jinghong Building, Zhuo Zhaoqiong's house is also in Chang'an, and he didn't know about it when he went back to his mother's house overnight several times, and he smiled when he heard the words: " The third brother is not irritable when he says this, he is carefree and unscrupulous! ”

The twins of the fourth room are both seven years old this year, and they have always been very lively, which will be said by Zhuo Zhaoqiong only to find that they have not spoken for a long time, and when they turned their heads, they saw the two brothers crooked on a soft couch next to them, and they didn't know when they had fallen asleep.

Seeing this situation, everyone was angry and funny, and they didn't pay attention to Zhuo Zhi'an's thoughtful expression, You felt sorry for his grandson, and hurriedly asked people to wake them up: "Why is no one looking at it?" Just fall asleep like this, what if you catch a cold? ”

The people who were waiting for Zhuo Wuwu and Zhuo Wuji hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and said cautiously: "Mrs. Hui, the maid also persuaded the two Xiaolangjun to go back to the house to sleep, but the two Xiaolangjun refused to do so, so this is ......."

You Shi frowned and said, "If you fall asleep here, you won't take a quilt to cover them?" Saying that, he called Aunt Mao, "See if they're okay?" ”

Aunt Mao went over and probed the foreheads of the two of them and said, "Madam, there is no fever. ”

"Be careful in the future." Today's Zhuo Zhao Festival returned, although the You family was dissatisfied with these subordinates not paying attention, but they also did not want to punish people on the day when the 'daughter' came back, so he reprimanded them, and asked them to wait for the two grandchildren to go back to the house to change their clothes and wake up, and said, "Let them put the rice alone, so as not to get tired of running back and forth." ”

He's busy generation woke up and his ignorant son thanked him.

In this way, I used the dinner arranged by You's 'Jing' heart - in fact, although You's 'spent' and did his best, and he also cooked a few Jiangnan side dishes himself, Zhuo Zhaojie's journey was tiring, and he saw his elders and relatives one after another, so he was really sleepy, and he only ate a little casually for dinner.

After the meal, You Shi also saw that she was sleepy, so he was reluctant to leave her to speak again, and said, "Wu Niang, you take Qi Niang to rest." ”

For the sake of her sister, Zhuo Zhaoqiong specially agreed with her husband's family to stay at her mother's house tonight, and even Yang Chun stayed in the Hou Mansion for one night.

Hearing this, he got up and said, "I'm tired too, Qi Niang, let's go." He also told Yang Chun, "Listen to your grandfather and grandmother, don't mess around!" "Jinghonglou is the residence of the 'women' of the four rooms of the Hou Mansion, Yang Chun is now nearly six years old, and he is about to start the age of 'Meng', so it is naturally not easy to follow him to live in the courtyard where his mother lived when he was not out of the pavilion, and You arranged another house for him.

Yang Chun was actually an extremely shy little Langjun, who was both curious and afraid of his aunt who suddenly appeared, and said softly: "Yes!" ”

Out of the four-room main hall Nian Ci Hall, along the corridor to the south, along the way you can see a lot of shadows and shadows of the place, compared to the daytime impression is rockery trees and the like, the corridor every few steps are hung a dead wind lamp, but there is no need to be particularly lit.

Zhuo Zhaoqiong told her sister while leading the way: "Jinghong Building is divided into east building and west building, with three floors up and down, originally my mother planned that we could live in this room with more 'girl' children, but so far there are only two of us, and I am out of the cabinet now, so you can arrange it yourself." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly asked: "How did the fifth sister 'get'?" I used to be at my grandfather's house, and I lived in the courtyard before my mother left the pavilion, but there was no building. ”

"I let the maid live on the first floor, the second floor is made into a study, a piano room and a place to entertain some 'befriended' little ladies, and I live on the third floor by myself." Zhuo Zhaoqiong said, "Oh, the Xiujing Court in front is where the third brother and the third sister-in-law live, and it is quite spacious. ”

Zhuo Zhaoqiong pointed to the northwest direction in the dark, and while speaking, he went down the corridor, and the maid who led the way in front of him hurriedly lit the lamp in his hand, and saw the oncoming 'hole' and 'door', and there were two healthy 'women' guarding the 'door', and when she saw Zhuo Zhaoqiong and Zhuo Zhaojie, she hurriedly copied her hand and said: "Wu Niang, Qi Niang!" ”

"This month's 'hole' and 'door' were built after the birth of Wuji and Wuji." Zhuo Zhaoqiong didn't care much about the two servants, nodded casually, and continued to introduce Zhuo Zhaojie, "It's because there is a small lake behind here, which was originally watched by some lotus 'flowers', but when Wuwu was two or three years old, he was naughty and went to fish for the lotus 'flowers' inside, and almost fell down, so his mother ordered someone to come and build this wall and 'door', so that people are staring here, and they are not allowed to go by without worrying or mowgli." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie looked back at the Xiujing Garden, it was indeed too close to the 'hole' and 'door' of this month, no wonder You was so cautious.

After the moon 'hole' and 'door', first there is a row of high and low rockeries, around the rockery is a small lake, if in the south of the Yangtze River now the lake must be full of large and small lotus leaves, but in Chang'an, at night look at a 'wave' sparkling, it seems that half of the lotus leaves have not yet emerged.

After walking a short distance along the lake, I saw two small buildings surrounded by lush trees, and there were lights hanging on the 'door' of the courtyard downstairs. ”

"Your ears are pointed." Because these two servants and 'women' were guarding the 'door' in Jinghong Building, Zhuo Zhaoqiong introduced, "This is the Quan family and the Zhan family, who have been cleaning here, and it is not bad to cook the 'flowers' and woods." ”

Quan and Zhan saluted Zhuo Zhaojie again, Zhuo Zhaojie said politely, and asked Ming 'Yin' to give each a purse, and the two servants and 'women' were very happy, and accompanied the two sisters all the way in.

This mirror Honglou, as soon as you enter, the blue bricks are paved with a wide straight road, and it is divided into two halfway, folding to the east and west two floors, and the dense bushes planted all the way to the road, Zhuo Zhaoqiong is here to live until the pavilion, although You's in order to welcome the little 'girl' has been specially renovated, but the pattern has not changed much, she said: "I live in the east building, you are in the west, in fact, I am rare to come back to live now, if you like the east, Ming'er will ask someone to move things into ......"

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter, besides, it's the place that my mother left for the fifth sister, how can I occupy it?" ”

"Then go to the West Building and see where you live." Zhuo Zhaoqiong said with a smile.

It is said that the east building and the west building are actually the same, that is, the location is different, because it is prepared to be built according to the standard that at least five or six 'women' can be placed, although there are three floors, each floor is not small, the third floor is set up with a 'flower' hall, a bedroom, an ear room, and another empty space for its own furnishings, to say different, but it is the second floor - there is a compound road that leads to the second floor on the other side.

Zhuo Zhaoqiong said: "Now you can't see clearly in the night, but it is very interesting for you to take a look at the road during the day." ”

When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he looked a few more times outside the back road, but it was only dark in the middle of the night.

This West Building You has been roughly placed according to Zhuo Zhaoqiong said her East Building, the bedroom is located on the third floor, it is very spacious, the rain has passed the azure soft smoke under the tent of the glazed eight-treasure couch is very luxurious, the 'jade' pillow and splendid silk on the top are shining with streamers, the red sandalwood gold-clad feet under the bed are placed on the plum 'flower' small table, a few on a sly gilt stove, spitting cigarettes - it is the mustu incense that cleans up the filth and dirt.
