Chapter 43: Fence Bamboo Garden, by the wellhead
The old lady ordered someone to arrange for Zhuang Yu to be carried to the house, and took Zhuang Ju to blame her.
Lao Fujin wanted to say goodbye and go back when he saw such a scene, but the old lady said that there was a soup for sobering, so she asked her to fill it, and then kept Lao Fujin. And they stayed for another half day. It was not until the afternoon that the excitement was gone.
Zhuang Pu also drank a lot of wine, and he ate so much that he mixed several wines and got drunk. In this way, the two brothers were arranged to sleep in the Beifu wing. At the time of the banquet, the two brothers were carried back to Xifu by their servants.
First, I sent Zhuang Yu to the Beifu wing, and Yu Li, Huiyuan and Ayu followed, because Ayu knew some medical science and might be able to help. And because Zhuang Qi is the east, she will naturally take care of it if something happens, and the old lady asked Zhuang Hu to send someone to do it, Zhuang Qi felt that he had to go by himself. So, Zhuang Xuan beckoned his maid and the servants in his house, and even asked Cao Yingguan to carry Zhuang Ying half of the office.
For the rest of the day, Zhuang Pu continued to accompany guests and friends.
But it was said that Yu Qi, Hui Yuan and Ah Yu followed Zhuang Yu to the wing room. After Ayu read it, she just said that she would be fine if she slept for a while. Zhuang Xuan was concerned about everyone in the banquet, arranged the affairs of the wing, left the girl Wanjin helper, she went back alone, and then, Cao Yingguan saw that he had nothing to do, and then he wanted to talk to Huiyuan closely, Huiyuan ignored him, and finally he left personally.
Zhuang Qi didn't want to join in the fun anymore, even if Zhuang Jue was fine, she didn't feel that she wanted to go back. Huiyuan knew that Yu Qi was not very happy in her heart, and comforted her: "The girl is also tired for a day, otherwise sit and rest." ”
Yu Qi raised his eyes to look out the window, only to see the first few sycamores outside the Beifu wing, although in autumn, the leaves are still luxuriant, green and yellow, indescribable seductive color.
Yu Qi stood by the window, looking out heavily, and didn't reply to Huiyuan's words. After a while, Yu Qi said quietly: "You can stay and have a look!" I want to walk around alone and go for a walk. ”
Ayu felt that it was not good for him to stay in the house, after all, he was an outsider. Before she could say that she wanted to go, Huiyuan had already pulled her and gestured to her.
Yu Qi left a few people behind, and walked out of the wing room with a heavy heart.
to the outside. It is a small square yard, and there are two coiled grapes in the courtyard, the leaves are sparse, and the brown-black vines are intertwined, crawling all over the bamboo and wood shelves. Looking at it from a distance, it is like seeing two black snakes, stretching and meandering.
Yu Qi suddenly remembered the black snake entangled on the iceberg in the secret passage of Jinghua Xie.
Seeing that the grape trellis was uncomfortable, she took a step out of the courtyard.
Out of the courtyard, it is a large courtyard, there is a large vat in the courtyard, and a few red and gold water lilies are cultivated in the vat. Occasionally, a few insects flew in and stuck on the flower, and when you looked closer, the flower was very cute. Look down again, surrounded by a fence corridor, pink red paint, stand in the courtyard to see, the bottom of the red zhang, the top is red and green glazed tiles, very rich.
In the week, we can see that there are all kinds of flowers in the cultivation, such as peony, autumn chrysanthemum, gladiolus, yueji, etc., some of the flowering period has passed, but there are still flowers blooming in the branches. Yu Qi walked closer to the corner of the door and looked at the flowers.
At this time, at the corner door at the end of the corridor walked two mothers-in-law, carrying a basket of mud, and then two more mothers-in-law carrying a basket of eggs.
A few mothers-in-law muttered something, but Yu Qi couldn't really hear it, and felt as if something was going on.
Therefore, Yu Qi followed behind her mother-in-law indifferently.
After the corner door under the corridor, there is a natural water pavilion garden behind it, along the pond in the garden, the buildings stand together, and there are a few twists and turns. At the back, there is an arched bridge, under which lotus roots are planted. Yu Qi's footsteps did not dare to be fast, but he was slow behind, and he saw a few women carrying baskets just to the arch bridge from a distance, resting on the bridge.
Yu Qiluo stood still on the side, and when the mother-in-law continued to walk, she followed.
After crossing the arch bridge, there is a small instrument gate at the back, and behind the instrument gate is a almost abandoned garden.
Walking a few steps inside the instrument door, Yu Qi suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing, there is a natural difference between here and the scene outside. As far as the eye can see, the ground is full of yellow grass, dead trees are in the sky, and the four-season bamboo outside the house is still dark and green, after all, no one takes care of it, and it looks formless.
A few steps further is a house in the garden, the wall painted with white plaster, because it has been uninhabited for a long time, the white wall has mottled moss marks. Everywhere the doors were closed, or they were rotten, or they were locked with large brass locks, and there were yellow stripes pasted to them.
Yu Qi thought to himself: This may refer to something unseemly. Such a mansion, such a view, how can it be deserted?
Just thinking about it, I heard the voice of the mother-in-law on the other end of the corner: "It's enough to toss, hurry up and fill it up." You said that the lord is really, and the other gardens are not good, so they have to be arranged here. ”
Yu Qi then thought that it was the second master! Maybe it's a house for a woman who bought it outside!
Looking up at the big house at the top of the house, I saw a plaque horizontally, which read: Fence Bamboo Garden.
Yu Qi felt that there was nothing to see and wanted to leave. At this time, a person came from under the corridor on the other side, and it was the servant of the second master's personal name to the first household.
The first household said to the mother-in-law: "When is it, the egg has not been knocked yet?" It's too late to delay. Madame is back, and I'll see if you still get it sometimes. ”
Yu Qi smiled in his heart, it turned out that the second master was afraid of the second wife, so he took advantage of the second wife to greet the guests and make people do things here.
I heard my mother-in-law say, "These jobs should have been done by craftsmen, so we were asked to do them, but when we were slow, we knew half of them, and the water was half a bucket!" Why bother means that we come. ”
Shouhu said: "The mother-in-law with a broken mouth, I pointed to you to do it, that is because the master values you." I don't know what to do. ”
The mother-in-law stopped talking.
Yu Qi looked at it slightly, and saw the mother-in-law, several people were carrying a wooden board to cover a well, and the board was covered, and I saw two mothers-in-law knocking eggs into a basin, and picking out the egg yolk from the basin. After watching them toss back and forth, Yu Qi finally realized what the mud and eggs they had just carried were for.
I saw the mother-in-law pick out the egg yolk, mix the remaining egg whites on the soil, stir it into a slurry, and then cover it on the board.
Yu Qi looked at it for a while, and was shocked to find out, so he turned back slightly. Along the way, I thought that before Huiyuan Beifu met Uncle Zhuang Xuan, didn't Zhuang Xuan mention the matter of the well? There is also Zhuang Ji who made a fuss in Jinghua Xie, and it seems that he also mentioned it.
For a while, Yu Qi was puzzled: What is there in the well of Beifu?
Thinking about it, there is an underground secret room under the Zhuangfu, and there is a pool in the depths of the secret room before, if you guess well, the wells in the Zhuangfu should be connected with the pool in the secret room.
There is only one thing, why does Beifu cover up this wellhead?
Why did Zhuang make a fuss and mention the well?
Yu Qi was secretly happy in his heart, as if he had found a way to break through the Zhuang Mansion. To bring them down, it is not a good port to open the manhole cover.
Yu Qi thought while returning to Beifu to settle Zhuang Di's wing.
When I went to the outside of the wing, I suddenly saw a group of people who were pressed by the black press, saying that the second master was also drunk.
Zhuang Qi arranged for Zhuang Pu to rest in another room, and after stopping, Zhuang Qi found Yu Qi, so he stopped Yu Qi and said, "My sister is not going." The gentlemen are drunk one by one, and it's just boring over there. The old lady has been looking for you a few times, why didn't you come? ”
Because of this, Yu Qi, Hui Yuan, and Ah Yu returned to Zhuang Qi again.
After that, the banquet was dispersed.
The next day, Zhuang Jue woke up.
During this period, Xifu was so anxious that the house was full of restlessness, and he asked for a doctor and poured all kinds of sobering soup. The county lord was in a hurry, but the old lady said instead, "It's nothing for a man to drink." At first, the old lady was worried about not giving him more food and wine, but now she is calm. When the county lord saw the old lady like this, he didn't dare to show anything.
At night, the girls from all over the province came to take a look, and then said that Zhuang Jue slept well before he dispersed with peace of mind. The old lady still left a message, and she didn't have to go to Shouzhong to say goodbye tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, the old lady went to Xifu to see Zhuang Di. Because of the first night, Zhu'er served the old lady well and slept to Jinghua Xie to see Yu Qi, and slightly mentioned that the old lady must be going to Xifu tomorrow morning, suggesting that Yu Qi should also go with him as soon as possible.
In this way, Yu Qi got up early, asked Zisu and Huiyuan to help them make up simply, and then went to Shouzhongju to wait.
At that time, Yu Qi didn't want everyone to pass, because he was afraid that there would be many people, because he thought that Ayu knew medical skills, so he begged Ayu to go over and take a look, so that he could take care of it in the next way. Ayu didn't shirk and followed.
When I went to Xifu with the old lady, I happened to hear the girls say that the third master woke up.
The county lord knew that the old lady was coming, and he was not in a hurry to see Zhuang Jue, so he hurriedly greeted the old lady and went to the bedroom to visit him together.
When I went to Zhuang Jue's bedroom, I saw him waking up and sitting on the bed, holding a large bowl in his hand, and drinking water. The old lady was worried and asked a few times, but Zhuang Ying was afraid that everyone would be worried, so she said it was okay. didn't say a few words, Zhuang Yu vomited again.
Seeing this, Yu Qi whispered to Ayu: "Miss Yu, do you think it matters?" ”
Ayu looked at Zhuang Yu for half an eye, and said with a smile: "Your family's golden paper is drunk with figs, right?" But also added the autumn sycamore? ”
Yu Qi shook his head because he didn't know.
When the county lord heard this, he replied: "It's not a fig, how can the girl know that the autumn sycamore is added?" ”
Ayu said with a smile: "The phoenix returns to the nest, the golden sycamore, the flowering fig, and the wine is Qiong juice." It's in the book. Because I had read my father's medical books in the old days, I knew a little about it. ”
Although the old lady heard it, she didn't speak, but was busy patting Zhuang Jue's back, and she couldn't do it.
The county lord hurriedly said: "Is there a way to alleviate it?" ”
Ayu shook her head and said, "Wutong figs can't enter the water." Honey should be poured in. ”
Hearing this, the old lady hurriedly called for honey. After pouring Zhuang Jue, he lay down for a while, and it was better than before, and his miserable white face was ruddy.
It worked, and the old lady and the county lord were very grateful to Ayu. Ayu didn't dare to show her face, but she still responded modestly. At this time, it was rumored that the big girl had come.
In the blink of an eye, Zhuang Hu led the two girls of Dao Feng and Jianqiu in, and brought a bottle of things.
As soon as Zhuang Hu came in, he said: "I said come early, but who knew that the old lady came early in the morning." It's not like I'm late. "I went back and asked us about Shide, and he saw a lot, and said that plum vinegar could solve it." I'll just find a bottle. ”
The old lady breathed a sigh and said, "I just ate the honey and unraveled it." You're sour again, sweet and sour, and it's even worse for the spleen and stomach to go in again. Thanks to the girl and Miss Ayu. ”
Zhuang Hu came with good intentions, but now he was not praised, but was blamed, and he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't reveal it.
The old lady said again: "A few days ago, there was still a girl waiting, I don't think that kid is useless in resurrection, and my own master doesn't care about it." If there is no one to call, you can bring the bamboo and support it. ”
Zhuang Yu and the county lord hurriedly excused themselves.
Only then did Zhuang Hu say: "Old lady, I have already prepared people. I told my third brother before that he was nervous about his homework in school, and I was afraid that he didn't remember this incident, and I couldn't send it to him directly. Look, I didn't even have the girl's name, so I asked my brother to leave a name for himself. ”
The old lady hurriedly said: "Then when will it be, call and see." ”
Zhuang Hu listened to the order, so he motioned to Yuyuan to bring people over. After going for a while, Guiyuan called the girl named Horse Monkey. It turned out that the horse monkey was a person from Cao's house, and that day Zhuang Hu came to Yage to see Mr. Guan, and Cao called someone to invite her, and Zhuang Hu went to Beifu to see Cao's anger at the horse monkey because of the second master Zhuang Lu.
Cao borrowed the horse monkey to go down the steps before Zhuang Hu took it away. Now, after a few days, the old lady proposed it in person, and she called the horse monkey. This story deserves this result.
When the horse monkey girl arrived, she didn't need to be greeted, she knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady.
The old lady asked what it was called, how old it was, and the girl answered one by one. The old lady saw that she was clean and good-looking, so she wondered why she was called a horse monkey. Zhuang Hu didn't want to take Cao's head out and said, so he lied and said: "It was originally for the sake of good birth and raising, and I took a cheap name." ”
The old lady chirped, "You won't give it a good name, Baba called this to make us laugh." ”
When Zhuang Hu saw the old lady say this, he knew that the old lady admired him very much, so he was very happy and said, "If not, please give her a name." ”
The old lady said, "Ling'er, how do you look?" If it's good, keep it, and it's not good to ask your big sister to take it back. If you stay, you will be given a good name, and you will be called a monkey or a dog, so as not to delay your study. ”
Zhuang Ying listened to them all the time, and he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Now that the old lady let go, she said: "Yesterday I ate gold paper and got drunk, so I took the name of the gold paper nearby, and the old lady felt good?" ”
The old lady snorted, which was kind of approval.
Zhuang Jue was looking at the girl at this time, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and there was just a copper golden flower in her hair, which was very delicate, and it was even pasted with the name he gave. Then, he said happily in his heart: "Then stay, Sister Xie." ”
In this way, the horse monkey has a new name, called Golden Paper. took the place of the Emperor and served Zhuang Yu in the future.
Yu Qi looked at the girl with a little coldness, and knew that she had a character. After the incident, Yu Qi secretly thought, we can't deal with this girl carelessly.
Thinking of this, Yu Qi had a plan in his heart.
