"I have long heard from Sister Xiuyan that my sister is coming. If you ask me, it is better to live in Hongxiangpu or Qiangweiyuan. We can be closer. The sisters can get together more often on weekdays. Brother Feng made it happen.
Everyone likes to play with that novelty now, and no one plays with horses anymore..." Baochai smiled faintly, stepped forward and took Miaoyu's hand and said: "Chuocui Temple is really far away and deserted.
Some."
Seeing the sincerity of the other party's words, Miaoyu was also a little moved. She hesitated for a moment and then said: "Thank you for your concern, sister. I haven't thought about it yet..."
He didn't say that he had not thought about entering the garden and wanted to stay in Cong Cui'an, but Baochai thought that the other party was really interested, so he quickly said: "That's good, if my sister is willing to live in Hongxiang Garden or Qiangweiyuan, then I can
It happens to be next to my sister. If you feel that Hongxiang Garden or Qiangweiyuan are too gorgeous, you can also choose Yuyin Hall. It is simple and elegant, and it is next to my fourth sister's Nuanxiangwu. She also has a temperament that always loves peace and quiet.
,…”
Facing the other party's enthusiasm, Miaoyu was really a little embarrassed.
She hasn't made up her mind yet whether to enter the garden, but today she came in and walked around, which really made her excited.
Not to mention that the location of Kaocui'an is very good, the furnishings are very exquisite, and it lives alone in a mountain col with a certain distance from other places. This is what she likes most.
As for what Baochai said about getting closer to the sisters, that was exactly what she didn't want to do.
"Thank you for your kindness, sister..." Miaoyu nodded, but Xing Xiuyan saw Miaoyu's embarrassment and quickly interrupted, "Sister Baoqin, have you chosen whether to stay in Hongxiang Garden or Qiangweiyuan? Now, Sister Bao is going to be with Qin
Sister, will you go there together?"
"Well, Baoqin hasn't visited it yet. I was about to take her to see it. Did I tell my ancestors and aunt the day before yesterday? They said it was Hongxiang Garden, Rose Garden, Yuyin Hall and several other courtyards.
,..." Baochai said with a smile.
"Actually, there is also the Aojingxi Pavilion, which is also good?..." Xiuyan couldn't help but said.
Hongxiangpu, Qiangweiyuan and Yuyintang are all relatively small courtyards. For example, Yuyintang only has a small courtyard surrounded by flowers and trees, not even a formal 800-meter wall. But Aojingxi Pavilion does not.
It's the same. Not only does it live near the water? It's opposite to the Qinfang Gate Bridge? It's also close to the main courtyard of the provincial villa. It's also large in scale. The concave-shaped pavilion is located on a wide piece of land deep into the stream and pond, which is where it can be accommodated.
Twenty or thirty people are more than enough.
"My sister said it was bad? The Aojingxi Pavilion is too extravagant? How can Baoqin afford it?" Baochai shook his head, "When we talked about letting Baoyu live there earlier, my uncle said that it would be useless for him to live there at such a young age, but ordinary sisters
If you can form a group and gather together, it would be a good place."
In fact, as soon as Xiuyan spoke the truth, he knew that he was wrong? The Aojingxi Hotel is really not suitable for girls to live in, it is too gorgeous. If Baoyu lives there, it is barely acceptable, but if Baoyu doesn't live there, then other girls are not suitable.
"Yes, Hongxiang Garden and Rose Garden are closer to the sisters? They are more lively." Xiuyan also nodded in agreement.
"Since Sister Xiuyan is going to look around with Sister Miaoyu? How about we go together? It's just right for us to walk around here? I guess the other sisters should be there." Baochai smiled and said: "Me too.
So that Baoqin can get to know all the sisters."
"When Sister Qin comes, I'm afraid she will be the youngest among the sisters. I wonder who is older between Sister Xichun and Sister Xichun?"
Smart and heroic, but not unlike him.
"Baoqin is older. She will be fourteen this month, but the fourth sister will not turn fourteen until October. Baoqin is half a year older." Baochai explained.
"Sister Qin also has her birthday in April?" Xing Xiuyan laughed, "I wonder which day it is?"
"Oh? My sister is also born in April?" Baoqin finally answered, with a bit more curiosity in her eyes, "My little sister is born on April 18th,..."
"Oh, I am April 19th, the difference is only one day." Xing Xiuyan was also a little happy, "But I am sixteen years old, and my sister is fourteen years old..."
This statement seemed to bring the distance between the two parties closer at once, and Baoqin seemed to become much more cheerful and lively, talking to Xiuyan and Miaoyu.
Baochai felt a little at ease.
Ever since Baoqin and his entourage came to Beijing to meet his mother and brother, Baochai had always felt that her aunt, Brother Biao, and Baoqin had something on their minds.
Previously, I thought Brother Tao was too young, and my aunt was worried that Brother Tao's marriage had not yet been settled, so she reassured him that there were many young people in the capital city, and they would be able to find a suitable one for Brother Tao, but then she met her aunt.
He and Brother Tadou could not cheer up, so they knew that something might happen to Baoqin.
It's just that Feng Ziying was a little busy in the past two days because the official department was about to issue an official document to arrange positions based on the performance of the batch of Jinshi in the fifth year of Yonglong, so she didn't come over. She also didn't know what happened to the Mei family.
No news came back.
However, Baochai admired Baoqin for being able to keep his composure.
My cousin has been traveling with her uncle since she was a child. She has a lot of experience and knowledge. She is also a capable but thoughtful person. Even Baochai admires her. The only thing that can make her uneasy is her own marriage.
Already.
Many people say that Baoqin's marriage to Mei Hanlin's son was the best deal ever made by the second wife of the Xue family, but Baochai disagrees. It's because his father is a Hanlin, not that he is a Hanlin, and he is also a concubine.
The key thing is that this person's reputation is not very good, which makes Baochai feel a little sorry for Baoqin.
Thinking that her future husband, who was already a member of the Hanlin Academy, would now leave the Hanlin Academy and embark on a broader career, Baochai felt a sense of sweetness in her heart. Of course, she also had some worries.
What she was most worried about was that once Feng Lang was released as an official and his second wife regained his title and title, she was afraid that countless high-ranking families in the capital city would covet Feng Lang.
Although he was a concurrent disciple, Feng Lang's talent and reputation were so popular in the capital, in the north, and even in the entire Zhou Dynasty Shilin. Seeing how the Shen family was so satisfied with the marriage of the eldest brother of the late Zhou Dynasty, you can see that these civil servants in the scholar-services community were so satisfied with this kind of marriage.
The importance of reputation.
Although Feng Lang's words were very conclusive, Baochai knew that he was afraid that the Duan family would have other ideas. In the minds of many people, the Xue family was indeed not the best match for the Duan family.
Thinking of this, Baochai couldn't help feeling nervous, but in this situation, she could only wait quietly, believing that Feng Lang would live up to her.
Of course Baoqin didn't know about her marriage, but it aroused her cousin's worries, which made her distracted for a while, but she still talked to Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu.
Got some clues.
Earlier, this girl Bao Qin seemed to be a little preoccupied. She finally spoke and seemed to have temporarily put aside her worries. Why, this sister Bao Qin was a little distracted, and she obviously had something on her mind. Today, the Xue family is like this.
What happened to the two of you?
In the past, this little girl was not like this. She always looked calm and calm.
The four of them walked all the way, crossed the zigzag vermilion-railed Banqiao, and then entered the mountains in the northwest corner.
A winding path winds up the mountain, and at the halfway point a separate path leads straight up to the top of the mountain. Of course, the top of the mountain is just the top of a mound about 20 to 30 meters away. It was originally a barren hill, but later this grand view garden was built.
Then they were brought in together, and the original mixed forest was re-planned and two new stone paths were opened, which made it a bit more elegant and secluded.
After winding through the mountain and then going down the mountain, it was only a few dozen feet, but I felt the vitality and greenery rushing towards me.
The shrubs on both sides of the hillside are neatly trimmed, the vegetation is lush, and the stone paths are winding.
It suddenly went up a slope, and it turned out to be a small arch bridge. Qinfang River gurgled past under the arch bridge. Occasionally, a few goldfish stayed by the stream, bringing a bit of golden-red warmth to the green and clear stream, making people feel happy.
People feel relaxed and happy.
After crossing the arch bridge and going down, I saw a low banana forest, "This is the banana farm."
Baochai finally regained his composure and said calmly: "The small courtyard next to Basiaowu is the Rose Garden, and the corridor tiles beyond it are the Hongxiang Garden, Baoqin and Miaoyu.
Actually, any sister can choose here.”
Bao Qin took a look and found that Qiangweiyuan was obviously smaller, but he was alone at home, and it was closer to his sister's Hengwu Garden. Looking across the stream from here, his sister's Hengwu Garden was only a few feet away. "Sister, I
I just chose this place, it’s small and quiet, which is what my little sister likes.”
Xing Xiuyan and Miaoyu also nodded slightly. This place was indeed exquisite. The group went in and took a look. There were three main rooms, two wing rooms on both sides, and a small and unique courtyard. Once the courtyard door opened, there was Qiangwei.
When the branches, leaves and flowers are in bloom, they are fragrant and fragrant.
After admiring it, the four girls walked through the Rose Garden to the south again. A quaint wooden shed followed a winding corridor and turned eastward. Only about ten feet away was a decent-looking house with red walls, reflecting the outside world.
There are peach trees, a swing frame and a large flowerbed with a variety of peonies and other flower species, which are quite beautiful.
"This is the Hongxiang Garden." Baochai looked at Xiuyan, "Sister Miaoyu, how is this place? If you like it, you can tell the ancestors and ladies..."
Miaoyu also knew that this place was obviously more majestic and spacious than the previous Rose Garden, and the surrounding environment was more beautiful. She shook her head repeatedly: "Sister, I have always been light-tempered, so I am not suitable for this place, but Sister Baoqin can also choose this place."
Bao Qin also laughed, "If my sister likes the Rose Garden, she can choose the Yuyin Hall in front. This red fragrance garden is just like what Sister Miaoyu said. It is naturally a good place. There are flowers and trees on both sides, but it is too big.
Some, it’s not easy for my little sister to live here alone.”
