Stepping into the Grand View Garden, the faint greenery and wisps of breeze hit the face, which made Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu clear their minds. The white stones lined the road, the locust willows stood beside them, the green color moistened the things, plus the winding path brought by the winding path.
The twists and turns made Miaoyu, who had always been somewhat resistant to Jia's family, suddenly feel better.
"This is Erye Bao's Yihongyuan. Look at the Baoxiang flower stand. It's all planted with roses..." Xing Xiuyan introduced as he walked, "Cross this small bridge, and there is a moon cave gate over there.
Entering is the Fangsha Yuanting,..."
After passing the Fangsha Yuanting, you can see a small mountain gate.
The peaks on both sides are low, more like mountains of earth, but there are weeds and trees among the shrubs on them, and they are full of green.
After entering the mountain gate, there is a plum forest on the left. The plum blossoms have already withered. Pass through the Buddhist hall and enter the inner courtyard. On the right is the East Zen Hall. Directly opposite is an elegant place, which is the main hall.
Miaoyu followed Xing Xiuyan and walked around. She was already extremely satisfied, but on the surface she still wanted to remain aloof. When she walked to the edge of the East Chan Hall, she saw an abyss and a double room next to it.
Opening the round gate, "Sister, where does this lead to?"
"Oh, this is the back door. Going out from here is a long corridor and winding cave. This piece of rock has also taken a lot of work in the mansion. Behind it is the Jade Emperor Temple, and there is also an alchemy room? But it is still idle now...
…”
Xing Xiuyan simply took Miaoyu out through the back door. The Jade Emperor Temple was locked, so they didn't go in. Miaoyu pointed to a hut in the back and asked, "Is that my sister's Lu Xueguan there?"
Xing Xiuyan laughed. She had already felt that Miaoyu was attracted, and now she was more willing to know more about the situation in the Grand View Garden.
"No? My little sister's Lu Xueyuan? Well, it's also called Lu Xueyuan. It's in the west? Is it still far away? The Buddhist and Taoist monasteries here are all chosen as quiet places, so they are hidden in the hills?
How about I take my sister over to have a look?"
"Okay." Miaoyu nodded. "I wonder where my sister lives?"
Xing Xiuyan knew that the "my sister" Miaoyu mentioned was naturally Lin Daiyu? He also laughed. This was a good sign, indicating that Miaoyu was willing to get along with the girls in the garden.
"Ms. Lin's Xiaoxiang Pavilion is in the southwest corner. If we go left instead of right when we first enter the garden, the first courtyard is Miss Lin's Xiaoxiang Pavilion. It is surrounded by bamboos. Miss Lin especially likes bamboo forests. So in the end we have to
"Ming Xiaoxiang Pavilion." Xing Xiuyan also had a good impression of Daiyu. Although Daiyu was a bit petty, she was a sharp-tongued girl with a cold heart and a warm heart.
"Then Xiaoxiang Pavilion is next to my sister's Lu Xueguang?" Miaoyu was already a little interested. Except for Lin Daiyu? Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun both had the experience of going south to Yangzhou with him, although the relationship was not special.
Close, but at least there is a sense of friendship, which is far better than being alone in the Muni Monastery.
"It's not too far away. There are Tanchun and Xiangyun girls' Qiu Shuangzhai and Lotus Root Pavilion in the middle. It's next to Sister-in-law Zhu's Daoxiang Village. We are all in the same area." Xing Xiuyan said with a smile: "
The Cuicui'an side seems farther away, but in fact, it only takes a short tea time to walk there, and the scenery along the road is weeping willows, arched bridges and corridors. Let's go, I will take my sister to walk there and have a look..."
Xing Xiuyan really hopes that Miaoyu can move in as soon as possible so that he can have more company.
Several girls in this garden treated her well, but they were never as affectionate as Miaoyu who they grew up with. Moreover, she was also worried about Miaoyu being alone outside.
Especially things like what I encountered today at the gate of Muni Yuan. The dandies in the capital city are walking around the streets. Maybe one day they will meet a bold one. By then, Miaoyu will really be alone.
It means that the sky should not be used and the earth and the earth should not work.
The two of them crossed the Qinfang Gate Bridge and walked outside Zhujin Pavilion. "Sister, this is the villa where the imperial concubine visits her relatives. The third floor in front is Taiguan Tower, in the middle is Gu Ensi Yi Palace, and at the end is Jiayin Tower.
Hall, that is Hanfang Pavilion..., sister, would you like to go in and have a look?"
"Is there no one living inside?" Miaoyu glanced over and felt a little emotional.
With green roof tiles and cornices, solemnity and elegance complement each other, especially the three buildings of Zhujin Pavilion - Taiguan Pavilion - Hanfang Pavilion, which stand side by side in the shape of peaks. The entire Grand View Garden is centered around these three peaks and the Ethereum
The Taiguan Tower, Gu Ensiyi Hall, and Jiayin Hall, with the Guan Tower as the main axis, form a perfect architectural community structure.
"Normally no one lives here. The imperial concubine only stayed here for two nights when she came to visit the bride. Gu Ensiyi Palace and Taiguan Tower are only used during festivals and when a stage is needed for performances. Occasionally, if there is such a place in the mansion,
If a brother or sister wants to have a treat for his birthday, he will do it in Zhujin Tower or Hanfang Pavilion..."
After being here for so long, Xing Xiuyan has a general understanding of the situation in the mansion, and even arranged a little maid Zhuan'er for her. However, she doesn't like this naughty little girl very much, but it's not good for the mansion to arrange for her to go there.
I could only accept the refusal, and usually let the girl clean the house and didn't take her out very often.
"Forget it, I don't have much time to come to the main hall, so I won't go." Miaoyu finally shook her head.
Xing Xiuyan did not force himself, and took Miaoyu around the Zhujin Pavilion and around the back of Jiayin Hall.
She didn't like going to the main hall at first. She always felt a little depressed. In addition, except for the maids and women who were cleaning, no one else entered the main hall. Zhujin Pavilion and Hanfang Pavilion were only used occasionally.
"Where is that?" Miaoyu asked casually, looking at a corner of the cornice hidden in the mountainside.
"That's Tubi Villa. If there are more guests during normal festivals, they are sometimes arranged there. It has the highest terrain and can directly overlook the entire Grand View Garden. People like to gather here for things like appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival and climbing up during the Double Ninth Festival...
"
After bypassing Tubi Villa, which is hidden on Dazhu Mountain, and just walking to the entrance of Hengwu Garden, I saw two girls walking out of the courtyard, followed by two maids.
"Hey, Sister Xiuyan?" Baochai was a little surprised when he saw two tall and elegant figures, "Is this Sister Miaoyu?"
Baochai had never met Miaoyu, but seeing how affectionate Xiuyan was with her, she knew it was the girl Miaoyu.
Miaoyu's identity is no secret in the palace. Daiyu's half-sister, a concubine, has been practicing in the temple. It is said that the mother of the official lady who was born in the Jiaofangsi has also been practicing in the Suzhou temple.
, and even led this girl to be a little extreme.
Miaoyu also heard that Xiuyan introduced Xue Baochai, the owner of Hengwuyuan, and knew that this person was also the legitimate daughter of the Xue family, one of the four great families in Jinling.
He is a perfect person who considers others.
"Sister Baochai, this is sister Miaoyu, I don't know about this sister..." Xing Xiuyan saw the girl standing side by side with Xue Baochai. She was slightly shorter than Xue Baochai, and her appearance was slightly unrecognizable, but she had a few more eyebrows.
Very clever, clever and lively.
"This is my sister Baoqin, the daughter of my second uncle, Baoqin. This is sister Xiuyan, my aunt's niece. This is sister Miaoyu, sister Lin's sister."
Standing next to Baochai was Xue Baoqin. They arrived at noon. The second aunt of the Xue family and Xue Biao were staying with Aunt Xue talking, but Baoqin followed her sister to Hengwuyuan and sat down.
After a while, Baochai decided to leave Baoqin alone to find the way first. Aunt Xue had already told Mrs. Wang earlier that she would let Baoqin live in the garden. Whether he would live in Rose Garden or Hongxiang Garden would depend on Baochai.
Jean chose it herself.
Rose Garden and Hongxiang Garden are adjacent to each other, separated by Qinfang Stream and Hengwu Garden. Rose Garden is slightly smaller, next to Bajiaowu, while Hongxiang Garden is larger, separated from the swing frame and peony garden.
It is connected to Yinyu Hall and beyond is Nuanxiangwu in Xichun.
The four women greeted each other and looked at each other.
Xue Baoqin was originally in a bad mood, but seeing how enthusiastic his aunt and sister were, he never mentioned his trip to Beijing. He kept talking to Aunt Xue for a long time and had lunch before coming to Baochai with him.
Hengwuyuan.
In fact, Baochai had already noticed that Baoqin was worried, but since the other party didn't tell her, she didn't take the initiative to ask. In the end, she simply planned to take Baoqin to see where she would live in the future, so as to ease her heart first.
Rose Garden and Hongxiang Garden are not far from her Hengwu Garden. One can go around the rockery cave in the northwest corner and walk along the Zhulan Banqiao to reach the gate of Hengwu Garden.
Seeing Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu, Xue Baoqin really realized that it was no wonder that Brother Feng often came and went from Jia's house. Look at these two people, one is elegant and elegant, the other is cool and noble, they are both good in every aspect.
They are first-class girls, and they are not Yingchun, Tanchun and Xiangyun as she thought. This also makes her, who has always been conceited, feel a little frustrated.
Let’s not talk about my sister. Sister Lin has long heard that she has the appearance of a shy flower, but she didn’t expect to meet two of them casually. Both of them are not figures in the Jia family, and they can be so charming.
People dare not look directly.
Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu were also looking at each other.
Xing Xiuyan's focus was on Xue Baoqin, and she did not expect Baochai's cousin to be very heroic and lively. At first glance, she did not look like the kind of boudoir girl who rarely goes out, and she looked a bit like Qingwen.
It has a sharp and pungent taste, but it is not like Qingwen's ability to release or control it. The aura of this girl can be controlled and controlled freely, which is far beyond what ordinary girls can do.
However, Miaoyu's focus was on Baochai. His graceful and calm manner, and the confidence that flowed from his every move made her feel a little ashamed of herself and made her feel breathless.
