Chapter 19: Mind
was placed on the chair in front of the dining table, wiped her face and washed her hands, and Hui Lan barely cheered up.
"Let's go back to sleep after eating." Mrs. Li patted Huilan's little face distressedly.
Her aunt and two cousins were there, and Hui Lan barely bothered to eat.
After eating, my aunt sent her two cousins and led her to the yard where she was going to be placed.
Huilan was full of food and drink, and she was also a little more energetic. I want to go to my own nest, and I am looking forward to it.
Out of the hall of my aunt's yard, turn left and pass through the ear room, and turn from the verandah to the back. Out of the small door, but a distance of about ten steps, along the bluestone road turned a semicircle, facing a small courtyard.
Two small flower trees at the entrance of the courtyard, although they are not big, but the branches and leaves are quite luxuriant, looking lush, faintly dotted with flowers.
Looking at the place from which it came, the wide open vermilion lacquer moon door was half-hidden behind the tree, and I could vaguely see the house on one side of the courtyard, but I couldn't really see it.
The courtyard and the bluestone road are arranged in a patchwork manner, and there are trees at the door that are half-covered and half-hidden, which can ensure privacy. Hui Lan looked like it, and she was a little anxious at her feet.
"What's the hurry, the yard can still run, so I finished eating and slowed down." Seeing that she liked it, Mrs. Li deliberately dragged it to prevent her from taking a quick look.
Huilan looked up with a smile and wrinkled her nose at her aunt, making a grimace.
Ascending the steps and crossing the threshold, Hui Lan didn't care about her feet, nor the few maids and women standing in the middle of the courtyard, she looked at her residence with anticipation.
Combined with the building area, the courtyard is estimated to be the size of two basketball courts. The front is three small main rooms, with three rooms on both sides, east and west sides, and three upside-down seats.
In the middle of the courtyard, the bluestone paved a few paths leading to several doors and courtyard gates, there are two pots of green plants on both sides under the main corridor, and a few dwarf shrubs are planted on the land in front of the wing house, in early summer, they are all green and lush, which makes people look cool and comfortable.
The white walls and green tiles, the red columns and window lattices, the windows are covered with plain silk yarn, and the doors everywhere are hung with Xiangfei bamboo curtains.
There is no carved beams and paintings of the old lady's house, nor is it as high and broad as her aunt's hall, but Hui Lan unexpectedly likes it.
She still prefers simple and low-key buildings, so that she can live with peace of mind. If she really let her live in those big houses with carved beams and paintings, red walls and green tiles, she is afraid that she will not be able to sleep peacefully.
Seeing her standing at the entrance, her face was full of joy, and she looked around, and her affection was overflowing.
Mrs. Li smiled knowingly, knowing that Hui Lan was very satisfied, and she was also very happy.
"Okay, you go ahead and pack your things, and rest when you're tired, the girl is going to take a lunch break." Mrs. Li waved her hand at the maids and ladies in the courtyard and let them all disperse.
Hui Lan was shouted back by this voice, looked at the scattered people, and smiled embarrassedly.
"Let's go, go to your house and have a good rest, you're tired after half a day."
Huilan obediently followed to the main room, a maid opened the curtain, and the aunt and nephew entered the house one after the other.
The main hall is not small, and Huilan has measured more than a dozen square meters. Facing the wall, there is a long case, and above the long case hangs a picture of a lady, and there is a Taishi chair on each side. Instead of two high chairs in the hall like the usual main hall, there is a round table in the middle of the hall with a circle of drum stools.
Under the east window is a narrow table with incense burners and vases and the like. Under the west window is a bookcase, where the four treasures of the study are placed. There is a multi-treasure pavilion against the wooden partition on the west side, and there are some gold and silver utensils, bottles and jars.
One color of log wind, nothing is golden and bright. There is a kind of low-key luxury, which looks very connotative, and Hui Lan's heart is gradually satisfied, almost full, even the set of standard school supplies has not been able to offset much.
did not stop in the main hall, Mrs. Li took Huilan and went directly into the east room. No one followed the maids, and they all waited outside the house.
As soon as she entered the door of the wooden partition, Huilan was stunned, she let go of her aunt's hand and walked a few steps unconsciously, slowly looked around, her eye sockets were hot, and she couldn't help but have red circles.
In this bedroom, the furniture layout is almost no different from her room in the previous Xiangcheng Mansion. The lacquered luodian shelf bed, the dresser and wardrobe of Huanghuali, the six standing screens on the base of rosewood, and the bathtub, basin, towel and arhat bed by the window behind the screen......
The only difference was the color of the curtains, carpets, and beds.
This is both the same and different, and it is full of heart. Hui Lan was moved and grateful.
She felt someone caress her back, and a soft handkerchief gently wiped her tears.
Huilan sniffed and smiled very happily, "Thank you, auntie, I like this house very much." ”
Huilan was dragged to sit on the Luohan bed, "You are your father's baby, and your aunt's baby." The old house is gone, and my aunt has rearranged it for you. Haohui'er, my aunt is doing this because she wants you to feel cared for and live happily, do you understand? ”
Hearing the worry in her aunt's words, Huilan grabbed her hand and looked at her quietly, "Auntie don't worry, Hui'er understands what aunt means." My parents are gone, but I still have my aunt. Even if my parents are not there, the love they give me is always there. Now my aunt loves me again, and I am a blessed child. I will be happy, grow up healthy, and be filial to my aunt. ”
This time it was Mrs. Li's turn to be moved and wanted to cry, she was originally afraid that she would be homesick, so she wanted to arrange it like this. But I was afraid that she would touch the scene, so I was quite entangled.
was also publicly dismissed by his own family, and with the support of his eldest niece, he made up his mind to arrange it like this.
Originally, I was still a little apprehensive with Huilan, who would have thought that the little niece would be so smart and transparent, and so sensible and considerate.
Mrs. Li's eyes were red with emotion, and she hugged the soft little girl, and she really wanted to hurt her niece close to her heart. No wonder they all say that their daughters are intimate, and the two eldest nieces are so lovely, once upon a time her envious eyes were red.
Now that she has such a good niece, Mrs. Li feels that she is complete.
After a while, Mrs. Li took a breath, patted her niece and said in a harmonious voice, "I originally wanted to put you in the wing, but I thought that you would salute a lot, and I was afraid that it would not be able to be placed there, so I put it in this east courtyard." It's spacious, it's still in the main courtyard, and it's close to the main house, otherwise I wouldn't be at ease. I have made the western room a storeroom to store your belongings. The outer wing room is upside down, enough for your subordinates to live. ”
Huilan nodded as she listened, well-behaved like a cat.
"The storeroom has been set up this morning, and the rest is all fine work, so you don't have to bother. With your nurse and Mother Yang sent by me staring at it, you have a good rest, and only after you have enough energy can you have the strength to eat the wind feast at night. Mrs. Li straightened Huilan and told her carefully.
Huilan had nothing to do with herself, and almost became a beckoning cat.
Mrs. Li called Qingguo to serve her to rest, and told Qingguo to serve her well, so she reluctantly went back.
Hui Lan is full of emotion and likes, and the satisfaction value has been reported.
She sent her aunt away, and told her people to rest at noon, so that they should not be tired.
Then I obediently went back to the room, loosened my hair, changed my clothes, drank water and went to the toilet before I fell asleep.
The quality of sleep was as good as ever, and there was a light smile on his lips.
