Cangsongyuan is also a winter courtyard. There are pines and cypresses planted around the yard, but there are no trees around the pool. Instead, the pool edge is made of pebbles. It is similar to the Plum Garden where the girls are. They have two sets of indoor and outdoor hot spring pools, suitable for all kinds of
Tasteful bathing.
But after all, there are differences between men and women, and the two courtyards are relatively far apart.
Sun Shaozong sighed: "I used to have the honor to visit the palaces of princes, and I only heard that their bathtubs can be used for swimming. I thought it was an exaggeration before, but now look at it, isn't it like this?"
"The cold spring brings a bath in the Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water washes away the fat. The servant lifts up the fragile body, which is the beginning of new blessings."
Lin Zhao finished reciting these lines of "Song of Everlasting Sorrow" and sighed: "Princes, generals and ministers who have power will yearn for wealth and power, awaken to the power of the world, get drunk and lie on the knees of beauties, and enjoy bliss with beauties in such hot springs. Isn't this what they do?
Life?"
Sun Shaozong glanced at Lin Zhao and wondered: "Isn't it Brother Lin's life?"
Lin Zhao laughed: "Just one or two beauties are enough. There are many things in this world worth enjoying!"
By this time, the two of them had finished soaking in the hot springs and were sitting on the lounge chairs by the pool drinking tea and chatting.
But I didn't have any snacks.
Because of the heavy water vapor close to the hot spring, the delicate snacks became a bit soggy, and the crispy skin became soft and not very tasty.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and they were the only ones in the entire Cangsong Garden.
Feng Ziying, Xue Pan and Jia Baoyu were all fun-loving people. After getting up early in the morning and soaking in the hot springs, they went hunting in the mountains and forests.
Each of them had a boy with him, but only Feng Ziying could fight, and the boys around him were used to hunting prey with him.
Xue Pan and Bao Yu just followed him and joined in the fun.
In fact, during Lin Zhao's vacation, Jinyiwei also sent seven or eight elite soldiers to protect the uncles openly and covertly. Even if tigers and leopards appeared, they would not be afraid.
What's more, since the Qin and Han Dynasties, the northern foothills of Zhongnan Mountain have been developed for two thousand years. The trees have changed several times, and of course no wild beasts have appeared.
The two chatted for a while, then went to have lunch. They asked the girls where they ate, and then went back to their rooms to rest.
When they wanted to apply in the afternoon, Lin Zhao and Sun Shaozong had some snacks and had just filled their stomachs. A group of people came in from outside, but it was Feng Ziying and others who had gone hunting who came back.
Xue Pan rushed in and shouted: "Old Sun, you were drunk last night. This is strange! We have drank so many times, and this is the first time I heard that you were drunk! Then I was drunk last night.
It’s worth it!”
Sun Shaozong said with a smile: "People are in high spirits during happy events. After drinking a few more drinks, they will naturally become drunk. Speaking of Xue Datou, what did you shoot when you went hunting?"
When it came to hunting, Xue Pan forgot about his previous intention to tease Sun Shaozong, and hurriedly showed off: "It's a shame that you didn't go up today. Although I, old Xue, didn't hit anything, old Feng did a lot. What?
There are many shots of deer and hares.”
He missed, but he was willing to make a name for others. No wonder Feng Ziying thought this guy was a good friend.
Feng Ziying laughed and said, "I usually follow my dad on horseback riding and hunting, so I'm a little more skillful."
He spoke modestly, but there was a smile in his eyes.
Everyone had dinner in the same hall last night, so there was no need to be too shy. I heard that the hunter was back, so the girls came over one after another.
Since becoming the female official of Lang County Lord, Xichun's personality has become increasingly outgoing. After the greetings with Da Jian, Xichun shouted that everyone should get together in the evening to have a lively life, so as not to do their own things like last night, which is really boring. Everyone loves
It was lively and naturally liked it, so everyone decided to gather at Ruihua Garden where Lin Zhao lived.
Ruihua Garden is located on Zhuangzi East Road. It is one of the main courtyards. After the small three halls, there are five upper rooms, which are very spacious and bright. After Lin Yang got the news, he ordered people to burn down the main hall early.
The room was made warm by the kang. Two larger square tables were put together and filled with dried and fresh fruits, snacks and candied fruits.
When it was getting dark, snow began to fall from the sky, and it became heavier at night. Everyone came from various courtyards wearing cloaks and holding lamps.
It was snowing heavily outside and it was warm as spring in the house. Everyone suddenly smiled and everyone gathered together. About a dozen people began to allocate seats. After everyone gave in, they took their seats.
Lin Zhao and Daiyu stood side by side, with men and women on both sides.
To the right of Daiyu sit Qiuniang, Yingchun, Baochai, Tanchun, and Xichun. On the left are Lin Zhao, and below them are Feng Ziying, Sun Shaozong, Xue Pan and Baoyu.
The maid was waiting by the side to listen to the song. When everyone was seated, she called the two little maids to bring them wine. The atmosphere gradually became lively.
Everyone was talking, laughing, and discussing what fun to have.
Some talked about beating drums to spread the flowers, some said couplets, and some said punching fists to drink wine. Everyone had different opinions. In the end, Qiuniang suggested softly that it would be better to drink wine. Anyway, what everyone drank was Jiangnan apricot blossom.
wine.
This is what everyone often plays at the wine table, and everyone agrees. Only Xue Pan's expression changed, and he immediately shook it like a rattle.
"It's better not to be a drinker. I'm really not good at this."
Baochai saw her brother in embarrassment and was about to make a rescue when she heard Feng Ziying laugh and say: "It's not like Xue Datou doesn't know how to make wine orders. Back then, 'My daughter is happy, and the bridal chamber is filled with flowers and candles to get up in a daze' was so elegant."
As soon as these words came out, others didn't think much of it. Baoyu was taking a sip of wine, but before it went down his throat, when he heard this, he spurted out a mouthful of wine. Fearing that it would be disrespectful to spray it on the table, he lowered his head and sprayed it all on his clothes.
Above, I couldn't stop coughing.
It turns out that when Xue Pan, Feng Ziying, Baoyu and others were drinking, they were also talking about drinking orders.
But after all, he knew how much he weighed, not to mention his sister, the Jia family, and the Lin family's sisters were all here. He could just say some substandard words while drinking flower wine. If he said this in front of his sister, he would not only lose himself.
Such a person would even affect my sister's good reputation.
At that moment, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "I can't do it, otherwise I won't participate."
Of course, everyone would not let him go. At this time, Baochai said: "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of your orders."
Xue Pan was overjoyed, feeling that he had escaped a disaster, and said proudly: "That's good, that's good."
To make wine orders, an outsider should be chosen as the order officer. For example, when Jia Mu of Rongguo Mansion was serving wine orders, the order officers were usually mandarin ducks.
To serve as a wine ordering officer, you need to be clever and discerning. You have to watch the dishes being served and distinguish the difficulty from the ease.
An honest person can't do this dexterous job.
Logically speaking, Lin Zhao is the boss, and his people should be the commanders.
It's a pity that he doesn't have a maid...
Baochai glanced at the maid behind Daiyu and said, "Why don't you ask Sister Lingge to be your commander?"
After everyone heard this, they all looked at Lingge behind Daiyu. They thought that she looked charming and cute, and her iconic almond eyes were also very smart. She had arranged the past two days in an orderly manner, and she was obviously a thoughtful girl.
Daiyu turned around and said, "Since Sister Baochai has a keen eye for talents, let's ask Sister Lingge to host it."
Since the girl gave the order, Lingge smiled slightly and nodded in agreement. After sitting down and drinking a cup of wine, he curled up his lips and said with a smile: "The wine order is as big as the military order. No matter whether you are high or low, I am the master. If you violate my words,
