Chapter 624: It’s important for the second master to pee
As soon as Fu Qiufang entered Hengwu Garden, she saw not a single flower or tree in the courtyard. Along the way along the corridor, she saw that all kinds of exotic grasses and vines were planted everywhere.
There are some leading vines and some leading vines. In front of and behind the house, fairy vines hang down the eaves, wrap around the pillars, and line the steps. The vanilla on the rockery hangs from the top of the mountain, or penetrates the stone gaps. The flowers are like golden osmanthus and are as solid as cinnabar.
It may be like green ribbons fluttering, or like golden ropes twisting, and the fragrance is astounding to your nostrils. It is indeed an extraordinary fragrance comparable to ordinary flowers.
Fu Qiufang couldn't help but praise:
"This courtyard is nice. Living here can save a lot of money on fragrant cakes and fragrant balls for fumigating clothes."
Baochai sneered in her heart:
My aunt said that Fu Shi shamelessly became his uncle's disciple and had been relying on the Jia family's fame and power for many years. But even if his uncle really took care of him, didn't the Fu family still have a baseless and sour taste in their bones?
After seeing these herbs, the girl Fu Shi just wanted to save a few fragrant cakes and fragrant balls for fumigating clothes, which shows how ignorant she is.
So Baochai took on the posture of a noble daughter, covered her mouth and said with a smile:
"Sister Fang's brother is my disciple, so Sister Fang and we are not outsiders.
Since Mr. Fu asked our old lady to help take care of Sister Fang, there is no need to be polite when Sister Fang comes to my courtyard as a guest.
After staying here for a few more days, I realized that I have never liked flowers and plants. I have never been too lazy to take care of the plants in this courtyard and just let them grow as they please.
I just didn't expect that not many others would recognize the names of these herbs, but my brother Bao did. The names of these herbs were all written in "Li Sao", "Selected Works" and other books.
He told me that among these grasses and vines there are also wisteria vines and vines, but the vines and vines do not have such a strange fragrance. The real fragrance is Duruo Hengwu, so this yard is called ‘Hengwu Garden’.”
As he spoke, Baochai pointed around and taught Fu Qiufang one by one:
"For example, this kind of thing, my brother Bao said, it's called orchid, that kind is called Qingge, this one is golden grass, that one is jade root vine, the red one is purple rue, the green one is Qingzhi. There is also Huona.
Ginger nettle, Lun group purple crimson, there are Shifan, water pine, Fuliu, green catkin, red pepper, milfoil, Fenglian... in a big bush over there.
Alas, it’s hard for him to recognize all the celestial herbs in my yard, but you know that he has put great care into me.”
.
Fu Qiufang has always been very smart, so how could he not understand Baochai's intention to show off?
Thoughts:
Oh, your Xue family is just a merchant, and because you are your wife's natal relative, you just stay in the Jia family for life and death, eating, drinking, and living in the house, and you still act like a master in front of me?
My brother is also a court magistrate after all. He said that my brother is trying to get hold of Mr. Zheng, but your brother can't get there even if he wants to.
Xue Pan is just a well-known bastard overlord. He can't even defend his own shop, and he also has a murder case on his body. Whoever marries you, isn't he marrying you into a disaster?
Fu Qiufang also looked down on Baochai from the bottom of her heart, so she also acted dignifiedly and said with a smile:
"Sister Bao is really knowledgeable.
It's just that the names 'Xili Tengluo' and 'Du Ruohengwu' sound nice, but in fact they are just because they were taken from Qu Yuan's "Mountain Ghost", "Being taken by Xili Xi to lead Nu Luo", "Being taken by Shi Lanxi to lead Du Heng"
It's just like the phrase "People in the mountains are as beautiful as Du Ruo".
In fact, the plum blossoms are just magnolia vines, which are very common in the south. The plum blossoms are called jelly fruits because they can be used to make jelly.
There is also "Du Ruo Heng Wu", which refers to three types of Du Ruo, Du Heng and turnip. They also grow randomly on the fields in the mountains in the south, and they have a slight fragrance.
When it comes to tarantula, where is tarantula? It is just Angelica dahurica, and orchid is orchid.
Qing Ge is Pueraria vine. Pueraria lobata is a medicinal herb and can also be made into snacks.
The name Jinqiancao is a misinformation. The correct name is "Jingucao", which is actually Scutellaria baicalensis and is also a common medicinal herb.
As for the jade root vine, it has an elegant name for nothing. It is just the cheapest licorice in the drug store.
Purple rue is rue, Qingzhi is Angelica dahurica, Horner is Patchouli, and Jianghui is Nettle. The fragrance of these things is not as good as that of Acorus, Perilla, Perilla and Atractylodes?
Also, Lun group is kelp, Zijiang is laver, Shifan is coral, and water pine is pine algae. How could these miscellaneous names be the names of fairy grass and fragrant vine?
As for Fuliu, it is just a fabrication in "Foreign Object Chronicles", and it is simply nonsense.
Sister Bao said that Mr. Bao knew all these exotic herbs and had put a lot of thought into them, but I saw that this was just nonsense on his part."
.
Baochai has always been cautious about her words and deeds in front of her elders, hiding her foolishness and clumsiness, but in fact, she is more competitive than anyone else and wants to show off her status and establish prestige for herself.
Therefore, in front of her sisters and brothers, what Baochai loves most is to talk eloquently and talk endlessly, showing that she knows everything, pretending to be a teacher or a big sister, and educating others.
Especially if you have the opportunity to stand on the moral high ground, educate others that this is what they should do, and that they should not do that to make people laugh, engage in some moral kidnapping, regulate other people's words and deeds, and at the same time let Xue Baochai let her fly.
Self, it is best to be without it.
But she didn't expect that today, when she met Fu Qiufang, the remaining daughter who was older than her, Xue Baochai fell into the dust.
But Xue Baochai didn't know that she was unlucky and bumped into Fu Qiufang's gun.
The Fu family originally opened a spice shop.
Before Fu Shi hugged Jia Zheng's lap, he had to do business at the counter of the spice shop. When he was too busy, Fu Qiufang had to help grind and package the medicine. How could he not recognize spices and Chinese medicine?
When Baochai heard that Fu Qiufang said that Baoyu was "talking nonsense", he couldn't help being furious:
Fu Shibu, Zhan Guang and Shan Pinren are all my uncle's disciples. Back then, Chunwei only ranked at the bottom of the third ranking list. If it weren't for my uncle's efforts, he wouldn't even be able to become a county magistrate.
Later, he was promoted from county magistrate to county magistrate, and then became general magistrate. Which of these things was not done by my uncle behind the scenes?
Now she is still not greedy enough. She even wants to marry her sister to Baoyu, marry the Jia family, and get promoted and make a fortune. It is also shameless.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It's ridiculous that Baoyu also said that Fu Qiufang is some kind of beautiful lady, saying that she is "both talented and beautiful, and her brother delayed her youth all her life", but she is not blind. ?
The two of them walked along the corridor and saw five clear buildings in front of them connected with rolling sheds, with corridors on all sides, green windows and painted walls. Baochai wanted to explain his relationship with Baoyu, so he waved his fan and sneered:
"Brother Bao comes from a noble family, and he doesn't recognize those common things, which shows that he is noble.
Look at the four characters on the plaque, '阘跷清风', and the couplets, 'When chanted into cardamom, it is still beautiful, and when you sleep enough, the wine is fragrant in your dreams,' they were all written by him."
Seeing that Fu Qiufang didn't show any surprise at all, Baochai also guessed the couplet written by Baoyu that day. Jia Zheng had no choice but to show it off to Fu Shi, and Fu Shi had no choice but to go home and tell his sister, so he continued:
"Brother Bao of mine is also very interested in Hengwuyuan.
When the imperial concubine came to visit the bride, he even composed a poem for Hengwuyuan:
Hengwu fills the monastery, and radish adds fragrance.
Softly lined with spring grass, with a soft scent.
The light smoke obscures the winding path, and the cold green corridor drips.
Who said that the pond is melodious and the Xie family's dreams are long?
Especially in this last couplet, Xie Lingyun wrote the famous line "Spring Grass Grows in the Pond" only after he dreamed of his younger brother. It uses the deep brotherly love to allude to the deep love between sister and brother.
Alas - I live here because the myth of a perfect marriage has spread widely, and my aunt has already made up her mind. Even the rewards from the imperial concubine and the empress are the same for Brother Bao and me.
I was afraid to avoid it, but Brother Bao actually wrote it clearly in the poem and let outsiders know it, but it didn't make me embarrassed?"
Fu Qiufang finally entered Jia's house. How could he be scared away by Baochai's few words?
At this time, there was also a smile on the corner of his mouth:
"Since the poem was written when the imperial concubine was planning her wedding, the deep love between siblings written in it should also be the deep brother-in-law love between the imperial concubine and Bao Erye. Who would dare to cross the imperial concubine's side?"
After choking, Baochai made a choking sound in his throat and thought:
This Fu Qiufang is seven or eight years older than me, and he is indeed a shameless character who goes all out.
She has always been smart, but when she encounters a tough challenge, she immediately softens and says with a smile:
"Sister Fang is really good at joking, who can compare with the imperial concubine?
I am the boudoir daughter of a wealthy family, so naturally I should stay away from Baoyu at all times to avoid gossip."
Fu Qiufang also smiled and said:
"That's natural. Otherwise, why would Mr. Lian just send four of them to Sister Bao as soon as he saw that Sister Bao had never been around?
Look at me, growing up, I have only been surrounded by two nuns."
Baochai pretended not to understand, pointed at Xiren and said with a smile:
"This second brother Lian is also the same. He rashly gave me the eldest girl who serves Brother Bao. I don't know how much gossip he will cause."
.
Xi Ren and the four nuns followed behind. They were all beating their chests and feet in their hearts because they were kicked out of Yihongyuan, but now they all felt red-faced and dizzy.
Miss Bao and Miss Fang are really like dragons, and so are phoenix chicks.
