fourteen
Zhang Lan didn't want to listen to their father and daughter, she was deeply impressed by the style of Shuli Courtyard, stepping on the smooth and mirror-like gold bricks into the main hall, only to see a picture of Guanyin sitting in the middle hall, a copper crane top pan branch candlestick on both sides of the red sandalwood long case, in the middle is a wrong gold claw beast incense burner, on both sides of the long case half a person high kiln blue and white bottom glazed flower bottle sparsely inserted a few budding lotus, and then look to the west, the red sandalwood partition door is open in the middle of the four, you can see the high dust-bearing multi-treasure grid inside, There are all kinds of antiques, Zhang Lan can't be called famous at all.
To the east, the bedroom should be separated by twelve rosewood rosewood inlaid with ivory glass, and an eight-leaf green landscape screen blocked her view, and the scene inside was not very clear. Zhang Lan has been in Governor Zhang's house for a few months, and she has somewhat gained some eyesight, and this color of rosewood branch furniture is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"I didn't expect this Guanyin statue to still be there," Luo Yuanpeng's eyes were far away, this Guanyin statue was embroidered by his wife Gao, who died early, and was enshrined in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple for seven seven forty-nine days, after please come back, his wife not only burns incense and recites scriptures every day, but also bathes and fasts every time he is hopeful, and he is just safe and secure in Liaodong.
"My daughter doesn't know if her mother often goes to the temple to burn incense, so she stays first," Luo Qingrong looked at Zhang Lan with a cautious look, "If my mother has a good one, let my sister next to her help you change it." ”
"No need," although she came through time, Zhang Lan still didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and it was really difficult for her to burn incense in front of a portrait all day long, not to mention that her husband Luo Yuanpeng's expression when he looked at the portrait really stinged her eyes, "Since it was left by my sister, it must be a good thing, just hang it," Anyway, she doesn't need to, just find a reason to clear it out after a long time.
"Ru Xian was worried about my safety, and prayed in front of Guanyin every day," Luo Yuanpeng was very satisfied with his wife's attitude, and picked up sandalwood from the long case, and when Aunt Liu helped him light it, he reverently inserted it into the incense burner, and bowed two more times before saying, "Although I have returned to Beijing now, I can keep the statue of Guanyin to keep our house safe." ”
Are you reluctant to give up your ex-wife's things, Zhang Lan now seriously suspects that this Guanyin statue is painted with Gao Ruxian's appearance, if there is no one else, she can be coquettish and jealous and ask her husband to eliminate the traces of his ex-wife, but now, it is not the time.
"The furniture on the east side has also changed?" Through the floor-to-ceiling glass bead curtain, Luo Yuanpeng found that the things in the east room were not the original, and the unfamiliar tables and chairs everywhere made him a little trance, as if he had gone to the wrong place, "But this bead curtain is still there." When he was in the house, every time he came in from outside, he could see his wife sitting on the kang either with a pen and a girl, or leaning against the window to do needlework, and the sunlight reflected through the beaded curtain on his wife's jade-white face, which also made his heart warm.
"This beaded curtain was specially left by the girl," Aunt Liu was also full of emotion, but she didn't dare to show it too obviously in front of the new lady, "I heard that the lady likes to be spacious and bright, and the general curtain is afraid that the lady will be annoyed to look at it." ”
Such a glass bead curtain is extremely rare in the Yongan Dynasty, Zhang Lan also liked it at first sight, but now when she hears it: the house where his ex-wife lived, the Guanyin that his ex-wife worshipped, the bead curtain that his ex-wife loved the most, and the daughter left by his ex-wife, thinking of these, she was really tired in her heart, so she didn't want to live here, "I look very good, I think Sister Gao also likes this courtyard very much, if I live like this, it will be a little disrespectful." ”
"What did Mother say," Luo Qingrong was happy in her heart, she just wanted Zhang Lan to say that she couldn't live in this courtyard now, instead of living here and then changing it, "This is where Mrs. Hou lives, you naturally want to live here," Luo Qingrong's expression was gloomy, "If you don't like Qingrong's arrangement, mother can change it according to her own preferences, in fact, my mother is in the spirit of heaven, and I also hope that my father can live in harmony with you, and I will never be sad because of these little things." ”
"Your mother is not a picky person, not to mention that you have done so well at such a young age, how can she not be satisfied? This yard has been rearranged, where does it need to be moved? That's good," Luo Yuanpeng patted his daughter's shoulder comfortingly, her daughter was raised very well by Mrs. Luo, but her mother may not have told her bad things about her new wife, so that the child was wary in advance, "Get along with your mother well in the future, she will understand what ordinary boudoir women can imagine, and it will be very beneficial to you." ”
Luo Yuanpeng has lived for thirty years, and it is the first time he has seen a woman as amazing and clever and funny as Zhang Lan, and now she has been deeply impressed by his wife, just like Zhang Lan said, they are not only husband and wife, but also friends who will always stand on the same front for a lifetime, and they are the closest and most trustworthy people. In the past year since getting married, Luo Yuanpeng feels that marrying Zhang Lan is the most correct and proud thing in his life.
Luo Qingrong had no intention of arguing with Luo Yuanpeng about anything, but responded softly, and then smiled at Zhang Lan as if he remembered something, "When my daughter cleaned up Shuli Courtyard, she also cleaned up Qianbi Villa by the way, which was built near the water, and the place was cooler than Shuli Courtyard, especially a pool of lotus flowers, which was made by the florist in the palace,"
"Yes," Zhang Lan's eyes lit up, listening to Luo Yuanpeng's meaning, she was extremely satisfied with the layout of Shuli Courtyard, but Zhang Lan didn't want to have a Gao family between the two of them all the time, she glanced at Luo Yuanpeng coquettishly, "I like lotus flowers the most, why don't you let Qingrong lead us to have a look~"
I haven't put this thing down, why do I have to visit the garden? Luo Yuanpeng just wanted to refuse, but when he saw Zhang Lanmei's eyes full of yearning, he said, "Okay, I have been in the house for a short time, and I didn't know that there was such a place, so it's good to go and see it, so you don't have to miss home." ”
Seeing that Luo Yuanpeng agreed, Zhang Lan happily pulled Luo Qingrong and Luo Yuanpeng out, causing the servants of Luofu to look sideways for a while, you must know that since ancient times, women have not been able to walk side by side with men, and their own wife is so bold? !
Luo Qingrong will never be as good as she was in her previous life, she broke free of Zhang Lan's hand without a trace and followed behind Luo Yuanpeng half a step slowly, Zhang Lan is not stupid, she naturally feels that this cheap daughter is estranged from herself, but in her opinion, this is normal, after all, she met this stepdaughter for the first time, if she came and called her mother, it would be a problem.
After the Chonghua Courtyard and the Liuguang Pavilion, everyone was able to walk to the Qin Seju, Zhang Lan looked at the inscription on the door in surprise, "Isn't it Qianbi Villa?" ”
"It's the daughter who thinks about her father's mother's newlywed, and she chooses a good intention, so she makes people change her name," Luo Qingrong pursed her lips and smiled, "The daughters of the other courtyards also asked the gentleman in the house to choose a new name." ”
"You girl, why bother," Luo Yuanpeng felt that his daughter was really too careful, but this caution made his heart sour, "You are the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Wu'an, if you say what you change, you will naturally change it to something~" At this point, even if Zhang Lan gives birth to children for him in the future, Luo Qingrong's status in the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion will not change, of course, he believes that with his wife Zhang Lan's heart, he must have the same idea as him.
Qin Seju has an open terrain, bypassing the shadow wall, along the cross bluestone road, you can see five upper rooms, with ear rooms on both sides, a color glass window, moon-white dark embroidered gauze curtains, light apricot passion splint curtains, black lacquered floor columns in front of the corridor, two towering trees in the northeast corner, branches and leaves like umbrellas covering the roof, sending a room cool, Zhang Lan looked at the curtain of vines on the wall, already liked this place, couldn't help but take Luo Yuanpeng's hand, "Let's go to see the lotus pond~"
This Qin Seju and Shuli Yuan are completely two feelings, Luo Yuanpeng is also full of coolness, and his wife is so happy, he also left that trace of regret behind, and happily followed his wife's cheerful footsteps to the back of the house.
"The lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red, it's so beautiful," Seeing the full green in front of her and the light red flowers scattered with stars on it, Zhang Lan's unhappiness when she first entered the mansion had disappeared without a trace, she opened her arms and took a deep breath and said, "It's perfect to see these every day!" ”
"Since you like it so much, you will come and go around every day in the future, anyway, it is your own place," Luo Yuanpeng loves his wife the most, without the pretension of those women in the family.
"Fortitude," Zhang Lan's eyes darkened, but a sincere look appeared on her face, "I want to live here," she continued without waiting for Luo Yuanpeng to speak, "I also said just now, Shuli Courtyard is where Sister Gao once lived, Lan'er really can't bear that she has disappeared even the last trace in this family, she is your wife's light-looking mother, I don't want you to even have a place to remember her, besides," she smiled brightly and looked back at the beautiful scenery of the lake, "I grew up by the water, and living near the water can also comfort homesickness." "After looking at Qin Seju, Zhang Lan was killed and didn't want to go back to Shuli Courtyard, not to mention looking at it, plus the lotus pond behind, this place is much bigger than that Shuli Courtyard.
"Okay," his wife thought about herself and her daughter so much, and she also bluntly told herself that she preferred Qin Seju, which made Luo Yuanpeng very happy, "It's up to you, I'll order someone to bring all your luggage, let's go in and have a look, you just have to tell Mama Li and Yiliu if you are missing~"
Sending Luo Yuanpeng to the outer courtyard, Zhang Lan took a bath and sat comfortably on the rosewood carved chaise longue, her slender fingers crossed the ruyi pattern on the edge of the couch, the rosewood was basically extinct in the era in which she lived, and most of the ones left in the world were placed in museums, and a so-called rosewood pendant in the mall was more expensive than gold, but now, she was full of rosewood furniture, and then looked at the jasper bracelet on her wrist. But it was firmly on her hand, and Luo Yuanpeng would continue to send new ones, just to make her smile.
Of course, she would show her affection for these things in front of him because it was his heart and the beauty of the jewelry, not the value of the things.
