Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Visit Here

"Sister-in-law, you can also wear this yellow and white chrysanthemum. This is what I asked for from the rich man Zhou's house, there are not many such beautiful chrysanthemums in the whole village, you wear this one. Seeing Lan Yi's bare head, Liu generously handed her newly acquired chrysanthemum to Lan Yi, in her opinion, this sister-in-law didn't dare to wear flowers because she was widowed, which was really pitiful.

"Third brother and sister, I don't like hairpins." Lan Yi thanked politely. She was dressed in a dark blue dress, with a simple silver hairpin on her head, and a pair of small silver studs on her ears, like an inconspicuous grass in the swaying flowers.

The second aunt of the hairpin Bai Ju, Li Shi, looked at Lan Yi and comforted: "Bao'er, don't be too restrained, take the children to the city for a walk, so you can relax." ”

"Yes, sister-in-law, if it weren't for Er Niuniu's discomfort these days, we could go together." Although Liu's has more minor problems, she is also twelve points of care for her daughter, and Er Niuniu has some diarrhea these days, so she is naturally not in the mood to go to the city.

It is a good idea to take two children to the county seat to enjoy chrysanthemums. When Lan Yi was busy with the autumn harvest, she entrusted her two children to the care of the Li family, neglected them, and waited for them to go out for a walk.

In September, it is the world of chrysanthemums, although Huangxian County is not full of Cheng dΓΉ who wears gold armor all over the city, but the pots of chrysanthemums to be sold on the roadside, the chrysanthemum doors and windows decorated by the shop, the chrysanthemum wine and chrysanthemum cakes, etc., are all visible, and the city is full of fragrance.

Lan Yi and the three of them first went to the garden in the city to enjoy the chrysanthemums, this garden is where Lan Yi bought peony seeds. There are countless white and yellow marican chrysanthemums, pink peach blossom chrysanthemums, woody chrysanthemums with white petals, pure white large flowers, yellow round golden bell chrysanthemums, and marigold silver daisies with white astragalus, which really amazed Lan Yi and the three of them.

"Mother, what is this written?" Yu'er saw her mother looking at the words on the pillars of the pavilion in a daze, and asked curiously.

Lan Yi smiled: "This is a scholar who thinks the chrysanthemums in the garden are beautiful, so he made a poem and wrote it here for others to enjoy." "In the garden, there are often literati who enjoy the flowers, drink and compose poems, and if they think it is good, they will write on the walls, mountains and stones and even pavilions and leave their names, which is the tradition handed down by literati and ink writers through the generations.

Of course, this tradition has been passed down to modern times, but it has changed its flavor. The name is still mentioning the poem but there is none, "so-and-so came here to visit" has become a big stain that destroys the scenery everywhere, widely criticized by the world, and has to make people feel deeply.

"Mother, what is written? Yu'er knows two, 'people' and 'mountains'. Yu'er looked up at a piece of writing, and a sense of pride rose.

"Yu'er is awesome, what is written here: 'Knowing the deep and interesting, visit the corner of the South Mountain. The flowers and branches smile and welcome people, and the parting fragrance is full of sleeves. The meaning of this poem is that this person envied Tao Yuanming, so he came to see the flowers, saw that the flowers were beautiful, and took away the fragrance of flowers when he left. After Lan Yi finished reading, she explained to Yu'er, she dared to write poems at this level, and this person called "Xia Ziqing" was really a "character".

"It's so nice, mother, wait for Yu'er to learn more words, and write them too." Yu'er looked at Tingzhu with adoring eyes, clenched her little fists and made up her mind.

Lan Yi had to sigh, this is a tradition, a tradition.

"Ahh The baby ran to the edge of another pillar and pointed to the words on it to Lan Yi.

Lan Yi walked over and picked up the baby: "The baby is also awesome, I have seen such a small word." This poem reads: 'After the previous dynasty parted, the meeting was not scheduled. Where is Jundang, can you drink chrysanthemums? The owner of this poem is missing a separated friend. ”

Yu'er ran to a stone next to the pavilion, pointed to the poem on the stone and said, "Mother, there is also one here." ”

Lan Yi smiled and read the poem to the two children and explained the meaning of the poem. This poem full of inscriptions, regardless of the level, also adds a humanistic atmosphere to the garden.

In a pavilion in the garden, there were two fourteen or fifteen-year-old women, very good-looking and gorgeously dressed, one of the women in a yellow shirt heard Lan Yi's voice standing next to the mountain rock reading poems to the two children and snorted coldly, and her face sneered: "A village woman dares to come out to comment on the poem, she is really not afraid of the wind and flashes her tongue!" ”

Several maids and maids laughed, and another woman sitting in a silver silk embroidered pink shirt glanced at Lan Yi's mother and son, with a lofty look: "If you recognize a few words, you will think that you are a talented woman, and your good poems have also been dirty by them, Master Zhang doesn't know that we are here to enjoy the flowers, and he dares to let such people in!" ”

Yu'er tightened her lips, tightly holding Lan Yi's clothes with a look of trepidation, his experience since childhood made him obsessed with words and expressions, and the full malice of these people made him nervous.

Lan Yi patted Yu'er's little shoulder and comforted in a deep voice: "Yu'er, don't be afraid, let's take a good tour of our garden and don't have to deal with these people, and my mother will take you and your brother to buy chrysanthemum cakes later, okay?" ”

Yu'er looked up and saw her mother looking at her with a smile on her face, and her fear subsided: "Okay, mother, let's buy a few more pieces and go back to Dafu and cow eggs for them to eat." ”

"Hmph, a few pieces of chrysanthemum cake are also treasures, and they are really village women who have never seen the world!" Seeing Lan Yi's calm and calm appearance, the woman in the yellow shirt couldn't help but remind her of her eldest sister Xia Wan, who married far away in the family, she had always looked down on Xia Wan for pretending to be high-minded like this, but she didn't expect a village woman to dare to do this in front of her today.

Lan Yi saw this fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl glaring at her like a vicious and resentful woman, suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and pretended to be curious and asked: "This girl, you have 'seen the world', I don't know what a treasure is, say it to us who have never seen the world?" ”

The woman in the yellow shirt snorted coldly, raised her hand and said with the red gold hairpin on her head: "This Chongyang cake was the best Chongyang cake of our Xia family at that time, and it was a delicacy in the world with aged chrysanthemum wine and baked crab." Sister Zhou, tomorrow we will go to Fengle Building to eat baked crab, and I asked the shopkeeper to leave us a private room on the third floor facing the river. ”

The Xia family? Could this be Xia Wan's sister? It's really not the same level as Xia Wan. Lan Yi carefully distinguished, but did not find any similarities between the yellow-shirted woman and Xia Wan's facial features.

"It's fine. My grandfather asked someone to send chrysanthemum steamed wine from Beijing, and the baked crab can barely go with this chrysanthemum steamed wine. Zhou Min, a woman in a pink shirt, picked up a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her mouth lightly, covering a piece of disdain. The rich man of Xiaoxiao Huang County also dared to show off in front of her, this Xia He didn't have much more knowledge than the village woman.

Xia He didn't hear the meaning of Zhou Min's words, and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, the chrysanthemum steamed wine from Beijing must taste better, and I have a good mouth with my sister." ”

Zhou Min showed the demeanor of everyone's daughter, smiled silently, and put on the most beautiful gesture she thought was the best.

Lan Yi couldn't help but complain, are these two here to show off their wealth and fight for their father? She suddenly lost the idea of taking care of these two goods, rolled her eyes and was about to leave with the two children.

Xia He didn't let her go: "Hmph, the private room on the third floor is high, facing the beautiful scenery of the Qinghe River, so it saves us from having such an uninformed village woman polluting our ears and eyes." ”

NND, it's not over yet! Lan Yi turned around and smiled: "I'm afraid of polluting my ears and eyes, so the two girls should wrap up the garden and watch it." Although the private room on the third floor is high, although the Qinghe River is beautiful, it is also full of boat vendors, if the two are really so afraid of pollution, they will take over Fengle Lou alone, drive away the Qingshui River, and then talk so highly, the little woman will also follow the two to stroll, and tomorrow take the two children to the third floor of Lexiangju to wait, enjoy how not to pollute the ears and eyes. ”

Although Lan Yi stated it calmly, her sentences were prickly, and Xia He said angrily: "Okay, you bold shrew, do you think this girl can't do it?" Nurse, you go and call Master Zhang over for me, this garden girl has wrapped, and blast this shrew out for me. ”

Zhou Min frowned after listening to Xia He's words, the two of them argued and pulled with a village woman for the girl who came out of the pavilion, and let people know that they would only end up talking in vain.

"The girl is really insightful, let the girl pack the garden immediately, dare to act, the little woman admires! We're not interested in enjoying the flowers here, Yu'er, let's go. We don't have to eat the baked crabs in Fengle Lou tomorrow, so let's go to Qinghe to buy two and go back to make crab roe tofu for you to go to the fire. Lan Yi hugged the baby, pulled Yu'er and smiled at the two, turned around and left.

"You, you shrew, see that I don't tear your mouth apart......" Xia He stood up angrily, threw the teacup in his hand out of the pavilion, and landed at Lan Yi's feet.

Yu'er was so frightened that she let out an "ah", pulled Lan Yi's clothes tightly and didn't dare to move, Lan Yi's eyes burst with light, and she stared at Xia He coldly. Xia He was actually frightened by her expression and couldn't help but take a step back.

At this moment, there was a human voice by the moon gate of the garden, and a few middle-aged women in luxurious clothes came out.

Lan Yi looked up and saw that among the people who came was Xia Wan's mother-in-law, the Qin family. Qin swept it, and knew what was going on here, she pretended not to see Xia He, but said to Lan Yi's mother and son with a pleasant face: "But by chance, there are a lot of people who enjoy the flowers, Min'er, Liuniang is here, and the blue girl also comes to enjoy the flowers?" ”

Xia He, who was next to her, saw that the eldest aunt was actually talking to Lan Yi, and glanced at Lan Yi in surprise, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Mrs. Zhou, eldest aunt." ”

Zhou Min followed behind her and saluted: "Mother, Mrs. Xia." ”

"Excuse me. Get up. Mrs. Zhou's voice was pleasant, but she revealed a bit of irrefutable majesty, "What's going on?" ”

"Mother......" Yu'er couldn't help but be scared when she saw so many people, and pulled Lan Yi's sleeve and shouted low.

Lan Yi smiled and said briefly: "Mrs. Xia, you are so forgiving, Yu'er, this kid is frightened. Today we went to the garden to enjoy the flowers, but it was not the right time, this girl wrapped the garden to enjoy the flowers, and was about to clear out all the people in the garden. ”

Mrs. Zhou frowned after hearing this, glanced at her daughter Zhou Min, and saw that she only bowed her head and said nothing, but Xia He looked like she was gritting her teeth: "You slut, I only said that I will drive you out, when will I clear the garden!" ”

Lan Yi was surprised when she saw her like this, and shook her head helplessly to comfort only the two children.

"Liuniang, did you say such things as Qing Yuanzi?" Qin reprimanded Xia He gently, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"I, I ......" Xia He didn't know how to answer, twisted the handkerchief in his hand and glared at Lan Yi fiercely.

"House fight, sister is here to farm, not to house fight." Lan Yi thought silently, just lowered her head to comfort Yu'er and the baby, and already understood in her heart that this Liuniang was Xia He, the concubine of the Xia family's third room mentioned by Xia Wan, who was the most arrogant, but won the favor of Mrs. Xia. The Qin family has always disliked Xia He, and naturally they will not let go of this opportunity. This Xia He is also the main reason why Zhao Shangjing was kicked out of the Xia Mansion, Lan Yi is really not a stranger to her, but when I saw the main owner today, I realized that the Xia He I imagined was far less hated and stupid than myself.

"Okay, I'm not afraid that Mrs. Zhou will laugh at my Xia family for having no rules, you think this is not possible at home, and you will break the cup and make people." Qin Shi raised his eyebrows and chuckled, that momentum of everyone was naturally not comparable to that of a little tender grass like Xia He, "You don't learn much with Min'er." ”

Mrs. Zhou frowned when she heard this, and she was also a little displeased with her daughter: "Min'er, you are becoming more and more unruly." ”

"The daughter knew that she was wrong, and asked her mother and Mrs. Xia not to blame the sixth sister, she was just unintentional." Zhou Min lowered her eyes to hide the cruelty in her eyes, and replied softly, Mrs. Zhou glanced at her, and a little satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

Xia He looked at Zhou Min in surprise and grievance, and was about to speak but was stopped by the Qin family: "Okay, Liu Niang." Blue girl, you take the child back first, and give the child a good pressure to stop getting sick. ”

Lan Yi nodded, she was not interested in watching them act here, she bent down and saluted the Qin family and Mrs. Zhou: "Thank you two ladies, Lan Yi will take the child to retire first." ”

Out of the garden, Lan Yi sighed, and knew in her heart that she was reckless today, if she hadn't met the Qin family, she would have suffered a loss with her two children, and she would have been careful in the future.
