Chapter 157: Killing the Colorful Garden Day (Part II)
The hairpin family of the Chu Dynasty is more than a hundred years old, but the more big the family, the more strict the rules, so among the women of the family, the majority of the women who do not go out of the door do not step out of the door and do not read miscellaneous books, and most of them only do embroidery work and do not ask about external affairs. What the county lord of Yixing just said, Mrs. Yu Ma and Chen Bing and Chen Yun sounded like nothing important, Chen Xi only frowned slightly, Zhang Huixin had heard of it, but her habits for many years made her not go to her heart at all, Chen Lan also followed the trend, and her face was silent when she thought about it, but Mother Lan's words were different.
So, Mrs. Lin suddenly turned around and reprimanded sharply with a straight face: "Maybe that person was blinded, maybe he was drunk, what kind of nonsense is it worth taking to the stage to face the county lord?" Go down and take a look, don't let these unconscious chatter, spread it and think that we don't have a rule in the Weiguo Mansion."
With such a reprimand, Mother Lan was naturally red-faced, and she hurriedly retreated after apologizing again and again. And Mrs. Lin immediately put on a smile and a happy face, and talked about what Luo Xu said about the Golden Palace, in short, she was full of chant, and she turned the topic back in a moment. Chen Bing in the back pursed her lips disdainfully, but her eyes were all over the surrounding flowers and trees, pavilions and pavilions, and after looking at it for a while, she looked at Chen Xi with her eyes, and saw that her eyes were not squinting and followed Chen Lan and Zhang Huixin, she snorted coldly again, and then pinched Chen Yun angrily.
"I'll say and do what later, don't go against me"
As soon as Chen Yun entered Yiyuan, he walked in a regular manner, but the corner of his eyes stayed on the rich and noble style full of flowers. It is said that the Weiguo family is a nouveau riche, but just looking at the style of this Yiyuan, it is not at all possible that this is just a garden that has not been built for many years, the high willow old elm pan pine, the towering trees were planted by the previous owner about a few decades ago, and the houses are scattered and dotted among the trees, it is as if the house is built according to the trees, and there is no neat atmosphere of the Gonghou Uncle's Mansion next to it. Hearing Chen Bing's words, she nodded instinctively, but her mind was no longer on the words that were fierce and inward-looking.
Chen Lan, who also stepped into this Yiyuan for the first time, was also very curious. If it was somewhere else, she would have to make everyone look like a lady, but Zhang Huixin next to her was the most lively, and Mrs. Lin and the county lord of Yixing in front of her were talking happily with each other, so she naturally let go, and let Zhang Huixin pull her finger and point to this and that, and the two gradually fell behind.
Bypassing the left hall with more than ten pine trees in front of the house, there is a moon gate in front of it, and after entering the door, there is suddenly a pool of water covering an area of three or four acres in front of you. It is about the living water brought from Shichahai, the water of the pond is crystal clear, and dozens of koi fish are swimming freely, adding vividness and fun. Walking on the wooden bridge erected on the pool, Chen Lan unconsciously slowed down a few steps, and finally held on to the railing and looked down, seeing the koi fish enjoying himself, he looked at it, and only remembered that this was someone else's house for a while, and immediately looked behind him, but it was empty and there was no one.
Yes, Mrs. Lin vaguely mentioned that after entering the gate of Yiyuan, Chen Yan and the three brothers were introduced to the front hall, and their own son, Luo Xu, received them. At this moment, Chen Yan's little guy will naturally give full play to his advantages as Luo Xu's junior disciple, and he doesn't know what fun he will find...... Having said that, how many other families will be here today?
"Oh, I still want to lose people, I didn't expect you to watch the carp here alone" Zhang Hui ran back in a hurry, pulled up Chen Lan and said with a smile, "If you like it, let's find a mother-in-law to ask for some fish food later, come here and feed it while watching, it's beautiful and fun Now go and see the big locust tree over there, I have never seen such a big locust tree, the Duchess of Weiguo said that it is four or five hundred years, and the Shouhuai Hall is built under the tree, and the tree is bigger than half a house."
Dragged by Zhang Huixin, Chen Lan couldn't help but follow a few quick steps, and before she turned the front corner door, she saw the high crown of the locust tree, and when she entered the door, she saw the Shouhuai Hall in Zhang Huixin's mouth, which was built in front of the locust tree, and the five spacious houses were located in the shade of the crown, and there was a feeling of being hidden in wealth.
It's not just here, it's the back hall of the jubilee house, and there is also such a tree that is hundreds of years old. It is said that this is the custom of the famous family of the Jingshi family for many years, and every family has an old tree that can be said to be famous, which is to take its crown and shade the meaning of future generations, but so the old acacia is still rare.
Although there was a girl waiting there at the door of the main house, and the first one raised the curtain with one hand, Chen Lan was still pulled back by Zhang Huixin, and after watching the long-standing acacia tree, he was able to return to the door. As soon as the two entered the house, they saw a large plaque hanging in the center of the bright room, with three big characters in the middle of the Shouhuai Hall of the Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dance, and four words for the hidden idler.
Mrs. Lin, who was talking to the county lord of Yixing on the side, saw that Zhang Huixin and Chen Lan were looking at the plaque, so she said with a smile: "It's all my family Xu'er who has nothing to do to smear a few strokes, but he likes to give himself aliases, but this idle word is right, he knows that he is wandering around with his hands around and lazy all day long."
"If Luo Shizi is still lazy, there are few people in the world who are diligent. It is rare to have such achievements at such an age, and it is rare in the past and present, and my wife has a son like this, and I don't know how many people I want to envy."
Mrs. Lin has been in the capital for many years, although she has never met the county lord of Yixing a few times, but she also knows that this person has always done her own thing and rarely compliments others, so these words entered her ears, which was sweeter than eating honey, and she had to praise Zhang Huixin a few words. As for the latter, who was praised, she didn't realize it at all, because Mrs. Lin said that the people hadn't arrived yet, so it was better to be casual, she immediately pulled Chen Lan to the east room, and saw that the wall was full of all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, and couldn't help but gently bump Chen Lan with her elbow.
"It's worthy of high school, this Luo Shizi is really an elegant person."
"It has never been secluded, and the lone tree is a wife. It has been eroded for a long time, and the roots have been many years. The idle clouds are still accompanied, and the familiar bird town often passes. Every life pays respect, and the ancestors sing - the ninth society in early April. ”
The four walls are calligraphy and paintings, the handwriting is different and the style is different, most of them are made when the society started, and there are only occasional hidden idlers who have been seen in the bright room before, and the rest she can guess at most is the holy hand Liu. Before she had time to take a closer look, Mrs. Ma, Chen Bing, Chen Yun, and Chen Xi all entered the house one after another. As soon as Chen Bing saw these poems, he chanted out loud, and explained the artistic conception to Chen Yun condescendingly, Mrs. Ma naturally stood aside with a smile and listened, while Chen Xi looked at those calligraphy and paintings silently with flickering eyes. Faced with this scene, Chen Lan only felt uncomfortable, and immediately dragged Zhang Huixin out.
The two opened the curtain and returned to the bright room, and found that Mrs. Lin was no longer there, only the county lord of Yixing was standing there looking at the plaque thoughtfully. Zhang Huixin hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mother, is the Duchess of Weiguo gone?" ”
"Duchess An Guo and Mrs. Runing Bo came with a few young ladies, she had to go to greet her, thinking that there was a big Buddha of mine here that could be suppressed, so she naturally left with confidence." The county lord of Yixing nodded at Chen Lan with a smile, and when he heard the sound of reciting poems coming from inside, he suddenly understood, and immediately pointed to the west room, "Just now the Duchess of Weiguo said that the calligraphy and painting ink treasure on the left side is hidden, and the treasure weapon is famous on the right. ”
Chen Lan had better avoid his three sisters, as soon as the county lord of Yixing said this, she immediately agreed, and Zhang Huixin did not hesitate at all, and the county lord of Yixing said to the two mothers guarding the house at the moment, and went to the west house first. Sure enough, as soon as they entered the room, the three of them felt a chill rushing to their faces. Unlike the landscapes, flowers, birds, and ladies over there, which are dotted with poems and songs, the two rooms here are not separated by door curtains, and you can almost see the bottom at a glance.
Swords, bows, daggers, lances, swords, spears...... Although Chen Lan couldn't say what the eighteen weapons were, he couldn't help but be amazed, not to mention Zhang Huixin, who pulled the Yixing county lord and shouted: "Mother, the things here are almost as good as your treasures."
Chen Lan was looking at the well-crafted strong bow, and when he heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at the Yixing County Lord, but saw that this person was already smiling. Sure enough, I only heard the county lord of Yixing say angrily: "How can I hide so much, it's just a pair of male and female swords and a bow, which is my mother's treasure in the past, and now I can't use it, and I can't talk about any treasures." It's a pity that you are lazy and refuse to learn, and my mother has not even had a successor until now. ”
The county lord of Yixing looked at Chen Lan as he spoke: "Lan girl, I don't expect Huixin, do you want to learn to defend yourself with both hands?" ”
This sudden topic made Chen Lan stunned, but the idea of agreeing only lingered in his mind for a moment before disappearing without a trace, and was replaced by another, bolder thought. She looked at Zhang Huixin, who was full of excitement, and said with a wry smile helplessly: "The county lord is kind, I really want to agree, but if you want to learn this, you have to strengthen your body first." When I was a child, my temperament was too weak, and now I just think about it again, isn't it too late to learn? Moreover, when the old lady was sick, I can't leave home now. ”
Seeing that Zhang Huixin also wrinkled her little face and sighed, she added another sentence: "Or, the county lord reluctantly made it difficult for him to accept my family's junior training and training?" ”
"Okay, you Lan girl, but you can beat snakes with sticks" The county lord of Yixing suddenly laughed heartily, and Zhang Huixin nodded in favor of the side, she suddenly flicked her finger on the little girl's forehead angrily, "Okay, okay, I know that you and Lan girl are going to be good...... Well, let's take a look at Chen Yan first. ”
Although the county lord of Yixing has not yet agreed explicitly, after all, there is such a sentence, Chen Lan only feels extremely happy in his heart at this time. As a woman, she does not have the status of a prominent county lord of Yixing, even if she learns martial arts, she will not only be regarded as an outlier, but she will even be suspicious. What's more, most of the questions asked by the county lord of Yixing were just a whim. But if Chen Yan can be more competitive, even if he is just a name, it can ensure that Chen Ying will not be able to make up his mind easily when he comes back in the future.
The three of them looked at the same weapons in the house, and the county lord of Yixing seemed to know everything, explaining the origin and use of those weapons in the same way, and the time passed in a moment, and the people in the other room did not come to disturb. At this moment, there was a sound of voice outside, starting with the familiar voice of Madame Runingbo.
"If it weren't for Madame's invitation this time, we wouldn't have seen this Yiyuan with our eyes. It's really a good place, and it is said that many places are still set by the prince himself? How old was he at that time, and he had such great knowledge, and it was strange that he could be so all-round in civil and military affairs now."
