Chapter 95: Spring Garden
At noon, Xie Yixiao accompanied Duchess Rong Guo and Ming's to have some food, and then took a nap.
As for Xie Yu, I heard that he went out to play with a son in the second room of the Rong family, and he will come back to pick her up later.
The second room of the Rong family is the second brother of Rong Guogong's family, there are many heirs in the family, and the concubines and concubines are a little indistinguishable, I heard that this Rong Erye married three ladies one after another, and there are five or six concubines, and the sons gave birth to a total of six.
There are good and bad among these six sons, Xie Yixiao has also heard a lot, and he doesn't know who Xie Yu went out with.
Just after noon, the Ming family came to take her to the Spring Garden for a walk, and the Duchess Rong Guo said that she was tired, so let the two of them go and see for themselves, she wanted to rest for a while.
So Xie Yixiao followed Ming's.
Although it is said that the owner of the yard is not there, it is not good to go to someone's yard, but she is too curious.
Think about what Rong Jiugongzi, who is like a breeze and a bright moon, like a pine, like a cypress and a bamboo, lives in a spring garden full of spring and flowers?
Thinking about how he could be cold among the clusters of flowers.
Ming led her all the way, and the maidservants followed.
Ming said: "The previous Spring Garden was not called Spring Garden, and it was still a little deserted, but at the end of last year, Master Huiyuan came with a letter, saying that the ninth brother could return home, and his mother asked people to renovate the courtyard, transplant many flowers and trees, and carefully raise it for a spring, which is what it is today." ”
"Later, the people in the house went to pick up the ninth brother, and Master Huiyuan named him 'Spring Garden', so he named this courtyard Spring Garden."
"The world is warm in spring, and the flowers are full of flowers." Xie Yixiao heard Duchess Rong Guo say this when he was in Yunzhong Temple in the past.
Ming smiled: "Yes, that's what it means." ”
Xie Yi said with a smile: "The Duchess of the Kingdom has the heart of a son. ”
"Not really." Ming looked at the flowers and trees on the side of the road and smiled, "What my mother is most concerned about at the moment is the family affairs of the ninth brother, and I hope that the ninth brother will get married as soon as possible, and my mother can be regarded as relieved." ”
Xie Yixiao was almost choked by his own saliva, and was shocked: "Nine, nine sons want to get married?" ”
Should a man like him marry and have children?
Ming said: "That's natural, since he has returned home and married a wife, it is also a matter of course, I won't tell you, these days, the matchmaker is about to level the threshold of the Guogong Mansion." ”
As she spoke, she came over again, lowered her voice and smiled with Xie Yi: "Why should you bring her niece to live with Liao?" It's not for the sake of getting the moon near the water, it's really about being beautiful. ”
After that, she sneered, obviously displeased with this concubine.
Xie Yixiao blinked, and said in his heart: Although I know that Mrs. Shizi also likes me a lot, but it's too relieved to complain about your concubine to me, right?
Ming then said: "But ah, my mother doesn't look down on the daughter of the Liao family, and besides, my aunt and nephew are married to my brothers, it's too unsophisticated to spread out, isn't it possible that there are no other women in this world?" ”
Aunt and nephew with brother are really a little unparticular.
Ming said again: "If you want to say that the ninth brother is indeed a generation older than the young people of this generation, he really has to bend the bend and count it, I see that most of these girls are his nieces......"
Xie Yixiao calculated the age of Rong Guogong and his wife, and then calculated the age of Rong Shizi, and found that it was true.
Rong Shizi is in his early thirties this year, if he gets married early and has children born early at this age, the children are all thirteen or fourteen, and the girls of the right age are fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen, this is really a generation.
Forget it, Rong Jiu is still as unlucky as her, she is older, but she is not very old.
She thought that at the end of the year, someone would call her aunt and grandmother, and she felt that goosebumps were about to come out.
It's not that I don't like children, but I feel that I am suddenly so old and a little sad.
The two chatted all the way to the Spring Garden, and then Ming asked the maids to wait outside the door, saying that he didn't like too many people to enter his courtyard.
Mingxin Mingjing hesitated.
Xie Yixiao nodded: "Then you guys are waiting here, let's go in and take a look and come out." ”
She didn't think that she could do anything in this Rongguo Mansion, besides, her visit to the Rongguo Mansion today was also something that many people knew, and the people in the Rongguo Mansion would not let her have an accident here.
Mingxin Mingjing heard her say this, and also nodded: "The slave is waiting outside." ”
Ming said: "There is a pavilion on the side, if you feel tired, you can go and sit down." ”
After instructing the maidservant, the two stepped into the Spring Garden together.
Spring Garden is a three-way garden, a garden is the outer courtyard, bamboo and a few flowers are planted on the corner of the wall, the door is facing the wall, to the west is a moon gate, into the moon door and then the west is separated by a wall, there is a door to enter, inside is a courtyard.
At this time, it is the second entrance of the hanging flower gate, after the hanging flower door, it is the main courtyard, the yard is very large, there is a peach blossom tree in the southwest corner, and the branches and leaves are stretched out to the outside yard.
There are a few trees in the rest, there are rockeries, jade ponds, water pavilions, there are a few koi fish in the water, there are clusters of flowers in the courtyard, everywhere you can see, all are blooming flowers, there are red, pink, yellow, white, colorful, beautiful.
The branches and leaves are crowded, the flowers are crowded, and there are butterflies flying around, and when the wind blows, a few petals flutter with the wind, and then fall to the ground, forming a beautiful blanket.
Xie Yixiao didn't blink his eyes, feeling that he had simply stepped into a fairyland.
Spring Garden, sure enough, lives up to the word Spring Garden.
Seeing her happy face, Ming smiled: "It's good-looking, right?" ”
"It's good-looking." Why isn't it pretty, this is simply the yard of her dreams.
If these flowers can be picked, so much the better.
Xie Yi smiled: "I have always hoped to have a flower garden grange, full of flowers and plants I want, and a small courtyard, it would be great." ”
"Flower beds?" Ming thought for a while and said, "There is a place in the house, if you want to see it, I will take you to see it, there is a big Zhuangzi on the side of the Dingwang Mansion, not far from the imperial city, but it is all in the care of the mother, now I don't grow flowers, I grow food." ”
Speaking of this, Ming smiled again: "But it is good to grow grain, and it is good to plant flowers. ”
The life of the upper-class elite clan of the Great Qin Dynasty in the previous dynasty was called a luxury, ordering tea, burning incense, dancing music, hairpins and many other pleasures, that is, after the establishment of the new dynasty, it was much simpler.
The women of the former dynasty also liked to wear full-breasted skirts and skirts, but now they prefer to be simple, simple and dignified, waist-length is common, but breast-length is also worn by some people.
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "If it is convenient for Mrs. Shizi, I really want to go and see it, and I don't know if I can buy some in Mrs. Shizi's hands at that time?" ”
