Chapter 42: The Wind of the Red Mansion

The eyes of the crowd are cast on the body, like a knife scraping an arrow.

Yu Qipi responded with a smile on his face, but his mind was sluggish. After a long time, I didn't see her responding, so Zhuang Jue called her out slightly.

Yu Qi shook slightly, and with an "oh" sound, he hurriedly saluted everyone.

Zhuang Qi urged: "Sister Qi, which house do you choose?" Choose our house, I will give you a good position, good pen and ink. I'll leave my big table for you, okay? ”

These words amused everyone.

My aunt quipped: "I have learned all the ways of doing business." To benefit people, bribery means. So he glanced at the Cao family and the eldest girl Zhuang Hu.

Cao naturally understood what Aunt Yi meant, and said with a red face and a smile: "This girl will do these kung fu." He said to Yu Qi again: "Girl, don't care about your second sister's words, just choose according to the old lady's wishes." No matter which house you choose, you are your own family. ”

This was said very decently, and the old lady liked it very much, bent her eyebrows, and nodded to Cao frequently.

Cao's heart was overjoyed, and he said: "Old lady, peace is precious, I think it's good anywhere." ”

The old lady said, "That's what it means!" The second wife's words today really touched my heart. He turned his head to Yu Qi: "Choose!" Girl! ”

Yu Qi nodded, wanting to speak.

Unexpectedly, the Qin family, who was sitting quietly, suddenly smiled and said: "What else to choose, the old lady understands what she means!" It's Beifu. Don't be embarrassed that the girl chooses me. Just in the north province. ”

Yu Qi smiled euphemistically: "Offend my wife." ”

Qin said: "Choosing my Dongfu is to offend me." Choose the North Mansion to toss them! You second wife is full of energy, three-headed and six-armed people, you can't do anything! ”

Everyone laughed once, and Cao accepted it with a smile. In the end, Yu Qi did not make a positive choice, and the old lady pointed out that the Qin family in Dongfu felt that the matter of studying at home fell on Beifu.

It's decided, it's the old lady's wish, she originally meant to belong to Beifu, but now, it's a matter of heart. The old lady was happy, and she didn't wait for the evening to separate the meal, and urged Cao Shi to say: "Second wife, are the girls okay?" Let's eat a bowl first. I am hungry. ”

Cao Shi smiled and said excitedly: "Let's go down!" Please wait a moment for the old lady and the ladies. I said to eat later, it's not too late in the morning, did your old man have an appetizer today, but he was hungry. ”

So. A game of literature and ink, a bowl of longevity noodles, let the clouds dissipate and usher in harmony.

Yu Qi knew that from then on, Beifu and herself would be inseparable, and she originally planned to find a time to probe the old lady's tone to see if she knew about the disaster in Zhuofu, that is, to know in advance, in the end, whether it was a despicable means of the third master of Xifu. Now, killing the two nuns of Xianyuan Nunnery out of thin air, and the old lady has arranged it like this, no matter how good the plan is, it can't catch up with the changes. She couldn't ask.

After eating longevity noodles and joking for a while, because the old lady was sleepy, the wives served her and rested, and the people who stayed were about: Zhuang Pu, Zhuang Ying, Cao Yingguan, Zhuang Qi, Zhuang Ying, Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Jue, Zhuang Ying, Zhuang Ying, Grandma, Aunt Nazha; It didn't take long for Zhuang Pu to feel bored, and he said that he went out to find someone to talk about things and left.

Because the school in the house was selected in Beifu, Zhuang Xuan was very happy, and while the wives were not there, she recruited everyone to choose a courtyard for reading and playing.

The sisters had their own thoughts, and they all seemed depressed, Zhuang Qi rose, and they couldn't help but follow her, so the warblers and swallows followed the flowers.

Zhuang Xuan went out all the way, laughing and talking, for a while let people be careful of the threshold, for a while let people be careful about the water on the side of the road, and for a while let people look at it. Her laughter, as her words rippled, rushed to the waves. Yu Qi was inserted in the center of the sisters, and every smile that Zhuang Qi made, she saw it very clearly, like a spring breeze, refreshing and moving.

Rare. Yu Qi smiled lightly in his heart.

Zhuang Ying and Cao Yingguan walked in front, walking and walking, but Cao Yingguan fell last and followed the eldest grandmother. Zhuang Jue also put down his steps and waited for Yu Qi to shoulder to shoulder.

At this moment, Zhuang Xuan took the lead, and he didn't know where to go.

I saw Zhuang Jue introduce to Yu Qi: "When we were children, we heard that this courtyard had a name. Today, the name is gone. Sister, you came all the way in, but did you observe carefully? ”

Yu Qi naturally observed carefully.

Come out of the house, go north, turn a few corridors, pass a landscape garden, enter the wall flower mountain, cross the flower mountain to here. What catches the eye is a landscape building. Such a nice place, it's a pity that it doesn't have a name. Indeed, no plaques were found.

Along the foot of the stone road, go to the path, the left hand of the road is a wall of flowers and plants, the right hand is a spring water green lake, the lake is planted with thousands of old trees and willows, the tip of the weeping willow is lightly inserted into the water, the water surface is like a mirror, the spring duck on the mirror is paired, the mandarin duck is in pairs, the white crane spreads its wings, and the black goose palm wave. The lake is not big, and it can be circumnavigated without blinking. In the middle of the lake, there is a boat house, the boat room is surrounded by wandering lake algae, and Di Liansheng, occasionally floating fish breathe on their backs, surging ring waves. There is a vertical wooden bridge on the boathouse, the wooden bridge extends to the shore, the shore is not far away, there are rockeries and flowing water in thirty or fifty steps, and there is a pavilion behind the rockery, or there is a pavilion built in isolation not less than twenty steps.

Behind the pavilion is a piece of green plants and endless mountains and rivers of strange stones, and there are a few strange small roads on the side of the stone, but I don't know where it leads. On the right side of the pavilion, there is a pampas reed, which blooms in spring and is rising green. On the left side of the pavilion, there is the red lacquer building, which is very magnificent from a distance, with a total of three floors, and each floor is equipped with a fence outside, and people can look at the balustrade above and watch the courtyard scene.

This building is a detached building, without any side houses, and when you enter, you can see it at a glance. The farther I looked, the more I felt that the building was lonely, even if it was magnificent and dazzling, I couldn't see a trace of anger, and I couldn't smell the sound and frolic.

Yu Qi was amazed in his heart, the size of the Zhuang Mansion is really breathtaking, and he thought that he had traveled all over the Zhuang Mansion several times, who knows, there is such an exit place in the North Mansion.

I have to think about revenge again, and my heels haven't been counted clearly! How do I get it? Think about it, in the past year, I seem to be looking at the whole picture, but I am really a frog at the bottom of the well, and what I see may only be the tip of the iceberg!

Zhuang Jue suddenly said this to himself, and Yu Qi came back from his sadness and said with a smile: "I have never been to such a good garden." Do we still have such a garden in our house? ”

Zhuang Jue said: "Yes, there are. There are several more. Beifu is not only here here, but also outside. My sister didn't know how little she came to Beifu, but we often came to play when we were young. Let me whisper to you, among our four prefectures, the northern mansion is the largest, and the east and west are the most. My sister looked back, and it was not difficult to find out. ”

Yu Qi said: "Come every day in the future, and I'm not afraid of not seeing." ”

Yes, when I think of today's words, it is true. But what will happen in the future, caused by human means? Or did you step in by mistake?

At this moment, Yu Qi doesn't know what the future holds, and he doesn't know how it will develop.

Finally, standing under the building.

Zhuang Xuan beckoned everyone to hurry upstairs, Wan Jin wanted to open the door of the building, she didn't give it, she wanted to open it in person. In the blink of an eye, the rest of the sisters followed. Yu Qi was stunned and stopped to look up.

Looking up, the sun shone obliquely, sparkling, especially in the corner of the cirrus cloud house, and the light shone down to cut it as hard and cold as a paper cut. Yu Qi subconsciously raised his hand, put a handkerchief on his forehead, and squinted his eyes to take a closer look. Sure enough, Zhuangfu is magnanimous, and its name is well deserved, even the cirrus corrugated is so exquisite, the glass is green, and the blue is orange and yellow. Just as he was about to blink an eye, he suddenly heard a wind chime, looked in the direction of the wind chime, and saw a golden copper bell hanging in the triangle under the cirrus corrugated clouds.

The wind, with emotion, did not stop for a while, and rose again and again.

The bell rings in a burst, listening to it in the ear, like the fairy court Jue song, the bell is endless, and it is like the music of the ancient bell, pouring mountains and seas. Yu Qi turned to look at the corners of the other eaves, which were hung everywhere.

Zhuang Jue gently grabbed her: "Sister Qi, let's go!" ”

At that time, everyone had already followed Zhuang Qi into the house and went upstairs.

At the door, the eldest grandmother held the door and stayed, looking at Yu Qi hesitantly, probably wanting to wait for her to be with her.

The expression of the eldest grandmother, Yu Qi insisted, she pushed Zhuang Yu slightly, and said, "You go first, I'll watch it for a while." ”

Zhuang Ying didn't want to go, so he smiled and said, "What do you see, sister, I'll accompany you." ”

Yu Qi pushed him and said, "I don't need you to accompany me!" I don't think this house has a name, so I'm thinking of a good name! You go first, don't bother me. ”

When Zhuang Jue heard this, he clapped his hands hurriedly, raised his neck and shouted to the people in the building: "Sister Qi said that this place has no name, and we have to come up with a name for it." Think about it, too. ”

As he spoke, Zhuang Jue pulled his legs up.

Seeing Zhuang Jue leaving, Yu Qi reorganized her clothes and hair accessories, gently lifted her robe and skirt, and followed behind the grandmother with slight steps.

Entering the door, seeing that no one was paying attention, Yu Qi walked quickly behind the grandmother.

The eldest grandmother understood, turned her face and smiled at her.

Yu Qi stretched out his hand to help her and said, "Sister-in-law, slow down." ”

How dare the grandmother ask Yu Qi to help? In the past, the eldest grandmother and Yu Qi fled from Xianyuan Nunnery to this point, and when she was still called Hui Yuan, she had been serving Yu Yuan! Now, Yu Qi put down his body and served her instead.

The eldest grandmother didn't dare to accept it, so she pushed it a little and said, "Girl, be careful of your steps, the stairs are strangely steep." ”

Yu Qi didn't let go of his hand, and grabbed it tighter.

Yes, now that I have entered Beifu, the only person who can hold on to myself is Huiyuan, and there is also a grandmother who has supported her all the way. How can Yu Qi let go so easily?

The eldest grandmother stepped lightly step by step, looking forward to the front and back, and whispered: "I was just in the house, and the girl was embarrassed." I watched, and I was really anxious for the girl. Fortunately, all the difficulties were solved. ”

Yu Qi smiled: "I was touched by my sister-in-law's concern. As long as my sister-in-law is here, no matter how difficult things are, I feel that I have something to rely on, so I have nothing to fear. ”

The eldest grandmother paused slightly, just glanced at it, raised her feet and walked up, and said, "I'll be back here for the first time." Zhuang Mansion is really big! Before, I thought it was very big, but I was really a frog at the bottom of the well. ”

Yu Qi said: "Why am I not? ”

The two went up to the second floor, and the girls were already on the third floor, and Zhuang Ying laughed and talked with them above. Cao Yingguan did not follow, but stood at the railing, as if waiting for someone.

Seeing Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother coming up, Cao Yingguan smiled and said, "They are upstairs, the girl and grandma carefully step down, it is even more difficult to go up." ”

When Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother heard this, they looked at each other and smiled, and then said to Cao Yingguan gratefully: "Brother Cao is careful. ”

Cao Yingguan smiled, his eyes lit up, and he stared at the eldest grandmother.

The eldest grandmother may feel embarrassed and don't open her face.

Yu Qi didn't understand these feelings, so he just had something to say to his grandmother, so he urged Cao Yingguan to say: "Brother Cao goes up first, we will be careful." ”

Cao Yingguan didn't want to leave, so he reluctantly went up.

Then, the eldest grandmother turned her head and said to Yu Qi: "The more you go up, the more difficult it becomes." Girl, you have to use your feet. ”

Yu Qi was slightly stunned. Obviously, the big grandmother has words in her words.

The eldest grandmother took Yu Qi's hand consciously and shook it gently: "The old lady's words, the girl can hear clearly?" Offering to the name of the Buddha. ”

Yu Qi laughed calmly and said, "I already thought of my sister-in-law's smile on me. Now, I'm not afraid. It's just that if you bump into it, it's an old person, and there are people who can't raise their heads and faces. ”

The eldest grandmother nodded and said, "That's how I was that day." Later, I thought about it, the old lady is on your side, and she will not be afraid to think about everything for you. It's just that I think that pure light stays in Zhuangfu and stays in Shouzhongju, and it will become a tiger trouble over time. ”

Yu Qi nodded, agreeing with her words.

The eldest grandmother sighed. The two paused.

After a while, Yu Qi said: "Sister-in-law, can I have any way to let the old people of Xianyuan Nunnery leave?" ”

The grandmother bit her lip twice, and was about to say it, when a human head suddenly popped out of the staircase, and the bright pearl emerald hit the railing, making a rattling sound.

Then, I heard Zhuang Xuan exclaiming, "Are you two discussing the name of this building?" Got it? ”

The eldest grandmother put away her nervousness, changed her smile, and shook her head.

Yu Qi was more confident, stepped forward a little quickly, and smiled at Zhuang Qi: "What was originally called this building?" ”

Zhuang Qian thought slightly and said, "Red Mansion! ”

Yu Qi smiled "poof", had already floated up the stairs, and when he arrived at Zhuang Qi's side, he happily grabbed her and said, "The building is red, why do you still take the word 'red'?" Repeated, no wonder I didn't want it later. ”

Zhuang Qi said: "Sister, what you said is true! Later, I heard that it was called 'Red Mansion', and I felt that it was too girly and less rigid. Now let's take another name, let's take one we like. How is it? ”

Yu Qi happily agreed.

After a while, everyone set up a round table outside the railing on the top floor of the third floor and sat down, and there were tea and fruits. The suspicion between the first sisters is diluted with the laughter along the way. Zhuang Yu also spoke more.

I saw Zhuang Yu say: "I don't know if the wife and the old lady are allowed to ask us for this garden." ”

Zhuang Yu took Zhuang Yu's hand and said, "Fourth sister, don't worry, as long as you like it, I can't take it." Trust me. ”

Yu Qi smiled and said: "The tone of the second sister is the same as that of a commercial port expert. If the dance text makes ink and wrongs you, it is better to change careers and go to business with the wife and the master. The guarantee is a business giant, and the women do not let the eyebrows. ”

Zhuang Qi blushed from being praised, and twisted and pushed Yu Qi.

Yu Qi and the others were amused by her demeanor and laughed.

At that moment, a girl downstairs came to ask: "The old lady asked the girls if they came to the Red Mansion, if the girls liked it here, she asked the wife to allow the school to start here, if the girls didn't like it, then pick other gardens." ”

Zhuang Xuan got up, held the railing and said downward: "We chose here, and we won't go anywhere." Go back and tell the old ladies and ladies that we are in the Red Mansion! Nothing else! In addition, I also told the second master that he finally knew that we chose here. ”

The girl who came to talk happily agreed and went.

After not going for a while, the girl came again and said, "The old lady said that the name of this place is gone, please make a name for the girl and the master, and say that it is to add a name to the name, so that you can learn and grow, and the one who can keep it is the master and the girls themselves." ”

Zhuang Ying smiled: "Got it, got it!" You go back to the old lady, and after we have thought about it, we will come up with a few names for her to see. ”

The girl just went.

For the rest, everyone began to choose a name for the Red Mansion.

But what should I choose a name? Yu Qi thought: This name has to be modest, and it can't contradict the names used by predecessors, nor can it overshadow the identity of Zhuang Qi's sisters' main family.

There are a few sisters and brothers, either those who know in their hearts or those who don't count, they don't have any outlets, waiting for Zhuang Qian to say first.

After a while, Zhuang Qi said one, and after everyone heard it, they were speechless!
