Chapter 173: Pulling and Talking
Tanchun pulled the cherished spring, and admired Li Weijian more and more with his little face. Seeing that it is about to freeze, this greenhouse is full of greenery, that is, the thrifty fourth brother has such a ability.
Turning his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Daiyu looking at the young seedlings thoughtfully, and Tanchun quipped: "Sister Lin, do you want to move the poppy in the back garden over?" ”
Li Weijian followed the prestige, and secretly thought in his heart, it turned out that Sister Lin often went to the small garden. I don't know if it's to see the flowers, or it's on the side.
Daiyu raised her eyes and looked at Li Weijian slightly, shook her head with a smile and said: "Flowers and herbs are wild things, and they can only grow strong after wind, frost, rain and snow. If you move to this greenhouse, the care is too delicate and loses its original intention, and you will be sick. ”
Li Weijian smiled and praised: "Sister Lin's words are extremely reasonable. ”
Daiyu said again: "Besides, flowers and plants are life, isn't this tender seedling too?" The flowers are blooming everywhere in the coming day, and I will definitely come to see it, and it will be interesting to think about it. ”
When her words fell, Wang Xifeng suddenly clasped her hands and said: "Yes, Brother Jian's greenhouse can only be used to grow vegetables, and those who invite fruit are afraid that they can't be planted." ”
Several girls hurriedly asked why. Wang Xifeng frowned and shook his head: "I don't know this, I only heard that the growth in winter is against the harmony of the sky, because most of those warm soup vegetables only bloom and do not bear fruit." ”
Only blooming but not fruiting? Isn't that just no pollination?
Wang Xifeng looked at Li Weijian and said, "But it's still good to only grow vegetables and eat them." ”
Li Weijian smiled and said: "Second sister-in-law, my greenhouse is different, I planted watermelons on one side, and when the fruit bears fruit in the wax moon, I will definitely invite my second sister-in-law to taste watermelons in winter." ”
Where is Wang Xifeng willing to believe? The triangular phoenix smiled slantedly: "Brother Jian, couldn't you really learn the magic from Maoshan?" Giggles, if you really plant watermelons in winter, then I, who will be my sister-in-law, will definitely be annoyed by the wine in the future, and I will believe everything Brother Jian says in the future. ”
Li Weijian was immediately happy, pretended to think about it, and said with a heavy bow: "In this way, I will make this bet with my second sister-in-law, and I ask the sisters to be a witness." ”
Jia Lian smiled: "Do you still use someone else? It is enough for me to testify. ”
Tanchun joked: "I believe in the fourth brother, why don't I also make a bet with the second sister-in-law." ”
Wang Xifeng was surprised and said, "Could it be that Tanchun knows the inside story?" This can't be done, if you want to eat a big family, you have to find your sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law is poor. ”
Li Kun blinked and said happily: "You bet on you, why did it happen to me again?" ”
Xichun said: "The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are all big families, if we don't look for two sisters-in-law to fight the autumn breeze, who else can we find?" ”
Everyone talked and laughed, and after a while, they returned to the main room.
At this time, noon was approaching, and a banquet was set up in the main room, and the invited Hui Ban was babbling and singing in the courtyard.
Li Weijian's mansion is not as good as Rongguo's mansion, because he can only open the doors and windows, so that he can watch the play while eating and drinking. It was late autumn, and the hall was as warm as spring, and the girls were still wrapped in cloaks, but the heat was relieved in a blink of an eye.
Looking around the spring, there are no braziers and smoked cages around, but there are a few more boxy carved and hollow wooden boxes under the window and on the wall. As the spring approaches, you will feel that the heat wave is escaping from within.
It happened that Qingwen led the maid in to pass the food, and Tanchun stopped Qingwen, pointed to the wooden box and asked, "Qingwen, what is that?" ”
Qingwen said: "The fourth master said that it was heating, and the inside was a cast iron pipe and heat sink, and the other end was connected to the boiler room across the east courtyard, so that there was no need to see an open flame, and there was heat in the room, and there was no need to worry about charcoal poisoning." ”
Tanchun didn't seem to understand when he heard it, but he just exclaimed: "Fourth Brother Jian is really powerful." ”
Qingwen pouted and complained: "The fourth master is good at everything, but he spends money lavishly...... Originally, the main house and several rooms that lived in the house were equipped with this Rausch heating, but the fourth master was not, and even the inverted seat room where the people lived, and the warehouse where no one lived were also installed.
This is good, now if you want to find a warehouse to put some frozen goods, you have to send them to the side garden. ”
At this time, Hongyu led people in, and when she heard this, she said, "It's not all, have the three girls ever seen the water pipes in the courtyard?" The fourth master has buried water pipes in all directions, and only waits for the tap water to be laid here in the next year, and there will be tap water everywhere when it is connected. ”
Qingwen said again: "I'm afraid that the open fire in the boiler room can't be stopped, and the fourth master always mutters about 24-hour hot water, saying that if you want to bathe in the future, you don't need to boil water." Tsk, such a fee, the coal money alone will cost hundreds of taels a year! ”
Only a few hundred taels? Although Tanchun is young, he can be raised under Mrs. Wang's knees since he was a child, but his temperament is more urban than that of ordinary girls. However, it is only a few hundred taels, and the master of Rongguo Mansion will spend one or two thousand taels of charcoal money in any year.
Although Rongguo Mansion is more than a step bigger than the mansion of the fourth brother of Jian, don't forget that the few hundred taels of silver of the fourth brother of the thrifty people benefit the upper and lower levels, and the one or two thousand taels of silver in Rongguo Mansion are only the charcoal money used by the masters.
Where is this waste? It is clear that a lot of savings have been made.
Tanchun thought about it in his heart, but he didn't say anything about it. The house of the fourth brother of Jian, whether it is the reserved water pipes, heating or the green greenhouse, is full of novelty. In contrast, the Rongguo Mansion is gloomy, as if it is about to die.
She asked here, but the second girl Yingchun on the side didn't listen. Yesterday all kinds of vividly, the second girl was shy in her heart, and thought about what Li Weijian said yesterday, so she paid more and more attention to the house. Yingchun doesn't ask for anything new, but I also feel that this house is satisfactory everywhere.
Just now, she looked at the warm pavilion from afar, and when she saw that there was only one futon, her heart was immediately ironed. Although the thrifty brothers accepted concubines, they never let the concubine room move into the main house.
Fu Qiufang sat next to the second girl, inquired from time to time, entertained, and the second girl came into contact with her twice, seeing that she was dignified and quiet, and had no bad intentions, this heart became more and more ironing. Now I peek at Li Weijian from time to time, and I just hope that a reply in the coming day will be good news.
There are two tables in this hall, separated by a screen. Wang Xifeng heard Qingwen and Hongyu talking, and also felt that it was appropriate to see no smoke in the room. Because Fu Qiufang took care of the second girl to welcome the spring, he asked him questions.
After asking, Wang Xifeng was secretly speechless in his heart. The east cross courtyard bulldozed the house, and the current greenhouse was erected, and the cost was at least 20,000 taels; In comparison, the boiler and heating are thousands of taels, and the reserved water pipes are thousands of taels. Not counting the others, the thrifty brothers threw in 30,000 taels of silver just in a place out of sight.
In this way, if the Rongguo Mansion is transformed like this, I am afraid that there will only be a lot more! She secretly thought to herself, and asked Brother Jian again to find a way to save money, and always renovate the old lady's house.
After listening to the drama for a while, Wang Xifeng saw that there were only Li Weijian and Jia Lian on the other side of the screen, and it was not easy to find Li Weijian to speak. Because his heart moved, he said: "I think it's better to remove this screen, the left and right are relatives, and they are still in one place, this time is just eating and drinking and listening to the play, who will show it?" ”
Li Weijian and Jia Lian on the other side looked at each other and smiled, and immediately ordered someone to remove the screen. In this way, the two tables are only three feet apart, and they can see each other when they raise their eyes.
The drama was changed one by one, the wine was over three rounds, the dishes were over five flavors, Li Weijian and Jia Lian only had a drink at this table, and the girls on the other side were lively.
I don't know who said the naughty laughter, which made the girls lean forward and backward, and even the most reserved second girl in Su Ri laughed so much that she couldn't afford to laugh.
Wang Xifeng said: "'Please Mrs. Parade', giggles, Sister Lin's mouth, it's really unforgiving, this number can laugh to death." ”
Daiyu smiled: "The second sister-in-law said this, but it was too much, what I just said was just a joke from the book." ”
Tanchun said: "This time, Sister Lin has passed the test, who still has a naughty smile?" ”
Tanchun looked at Li Kun while speaking, Li Kun shook his head with a smile: "Most of the naughty jokes I heard from my daughter in Su Rili have probably heard it, and I just picked up people's teeth when I said it." I think, why don't you let the gentlemen say two, maybe there will be a new idea? ”
Baochai said to Li Weijian from afar: "Fourth brother Jian, why don't you say two naughty jokes to be lively." ”
Li Weijian glanced at him, then looked at Daiyu with some expectation in his eyes, and then bowed his head and said, "Okay, then I'll say one." ”
After thinking for a while, he spoke: "It is said that Wukong passed by a place to learn scriptures from the west, and the stubborn golden hoop stick fell to the ground for a while, and the result was gone. Wukong was furious, and immediately summoned the land, and asked, "Old man of the land, where is my golden hoop stick?" ’”
After a pause and selling enough, Li Weijian said: "The old man of the land looked up and down for a long time, and then he arched his hand and said: 'Hui Dasheng, your tight rod is a perfect match for the hairstyle!'" ’”
When the words fell, Daiyu, Tanchun, and Baochai laughed together, and even Li Kun pursed his lips and smiled. Regret that the spring is young, I don't know why, I can't understand the spring, and Wang Xifeng didn't think about it for a while. When he was in the spring, he said the truth, and the rest of the people were also happy.
After another half an hour, Li Weijian saw Jia Lian yawning for a long time, so he asked about getting up. Jia Lian only said that he hadn't slept well yesterday, so Li Weijian asked people to lead Jia Lian to the guest room to rest first.
Only he was left on the wine table, and Li Weijian was impatient to watch the Huiban singing, so he simply got up and paced out, instructed Fu Qiufang to take care of everyone, and walked to the side garden to sober up.
At this time, the sun was slanting westward, and Li Weijian stopped by the pond, but saw the remnants of the lotus withering, and the fish played in it. There are neighbors cooking smoke drifting by, it can be said that 'Hengtang Pond is cool in autumn, and the smoke waves are slightly whistling and bathing in the sun'.
Li Weijian was slightly smoky, thinking about the layout for the coming day. Suddenly, there were stones falling in the pond in front of him, and it must be Qingwen who is so naughty, and when she turned her head to look, it was Baochai who was smiling!
Li Weijian was surprised, and said with a smile on his face: "Why did Sister Xue come?" ”
Baochai walked to Li Weijian's side, looked at the remnants of the pond and said, "The heating is a little stuffy, so I came out for a walk, I don't want the fourth brother to be here." ”
Li Weijian said: "After eating wine, I just came here to sober up." ”
Baochai said casually: "The second sister-in-law gave me a pair of Western candlesticks, which are silver and shiny, and they are also chic to look at." ”
Since it is a warm pot, everyone always has to give some gifts to meet the occasion. Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian have received great benefits from Li Weijian, and they have taught Jia Rui a lesson a little bit of favor before, so this gift is naturally valuable. The rest of the people, one poem and one painting, are just for fun.
"Really? Then I'll have to take a closer look when I go back. Li Weijian was not satisfied with the brightness of the candle flame, but Dashun was poor in oil, and he thought in his heart that he didn't know when Dashun would be able to expand Borneo, so that there would be no shortage of oil.
Baochai said again: "Brother Bao had a temper early this morning, and he was going to come when he was making a fuss. The old lady and the wife couldn't stop it, and later the second sister-in-law said that she was going to invite the master, which scared Brother Bao. ”
Li Weijian didn't care, and said: "The old lady has too much heart, Brother Bao was just stupid last time, and he can't do it every time." He wished that Baoyu would make another fuss, and when Daiyu saw Baoyu clearly, he naturally had a trade-off in his heart.
Miss Lin doesn't care about her family background or future, but she cares especially about a person's heart.
Bao Chai glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, Brother Bao is making a fuss about coming, and it is also because of Miss Lin." ”
Li Weijian smiled: "It's not good to say that. Brother Bao's temperament, maybe just to be lively, or to play naughty with his sisters and sisters. It's hard to say for whom. ”
Sister Bao wants to give herself eye medicine? Where will Li Weijian be fooled. Xiao Yinyin looked over and said: "Yesterday, I heard the old lady say that Brother Bao has been a lot more diligent recently, and he went to private school in a row, and I think there must be Sister Xue's merit in this." ”
Baochai said: "Fourth Brother Jian's words are wrong, I am just an outsider, how can I say that Brother Bao?" After a few words of persuasion last time, Brother Bao was annoyed. ”
"Brother Bao is still young, and he will always know that what Sister Xue said is the right thing in the future."
The two tried to find out no result. Baochai bit her lower lip and suddenly said: "Looking at this pond, I can't help but think of the time when I entered Beijing that day, it was not the fourth brother who was frugal to help, and I was afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
Rake up the past?
Li Weijian said with a smile: "Sister Xue's words are serious, the inspection department came very quickly that day, even without me, I expect that Sister Xue will be fine." ”
Sister Bao smiled and didn't say anything more. Suddenly, a gust of autumn wind blew, Sister Bao looked up at the dark clouds covering the sun, and said, "The wind is blowing, Fourth Brother Jian should go back quickly." ”
"Well, I'll go back after I break up."
Baochai was slightly blessed and turned back.
Li Weijian stood still in place for a long time, estimating that Baochai had already gone back, and then Shi Shiran walked back. When I arrived at the gate of Deyue, I saw that Lianqiu wanted to speak and stopped.
Li Weijian simply stopped and asked a few questions, and then said to the younger one: "Miss Xue went to find the master first, and then two more girls came, one slender and the other plump, and when they saw that the master was talking to Miss Xue, the two girls returned. ”
Li Weijian blinked, and then his heart suddenly dawned. The plump one is the second girl welcoming spring; Slender, it must be Daiyu!
It's no wonder that Fang Caibao's sister is pulling around, and she always doesn't understand what she means. That's what it was going to be!
I stayed up late until four o'clock to finish writing, and I was too sleepy. If there is a typo, please help you pick it.
