Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 11

The five small halls at the Lianxi Music Hall are made into a plum blossom shape, and the halls are grand and open, with flexible connections and free will.Every time you go to a room, you can see Lianxi outside the house by pushing the window.Pure green and pink, full of fragrance.At night, there is even a cool breeze blowing through the windows, blowing layers of lotus-colored gauze curtains, which is as beautiful as an illusion.

Mrs. Li has some criticisms behind her back, because Lianxi Lechu is more suitable for Hongyun to cultivate than Taohuawu.There is a wide field of vision, which makes people feel cheerful.Living by the water, it is naturally warm in winter and cool in summer, so you can stay in peace until the end of the year and return home.

And Taohuawu, as the name suggests, the highlight is the thousands of peach blossoms, which are so beautiful in spring, but now it is just a piece of lush greenery. Although the peach trees ward off evil spirits, living here is too yin, and she feels taboo.

Yinzhen himself lives in Ningyuanju.There, the secret room is covered all around, and the dusty atmosphere cannot be seen. The locust trees are shaded by flowers and vines, green and purple, the geomantic omen and water are rippling, the reeds are bleak, peaceful and peaceful.

Yingshui Lanxiang, where Hongshi and Dage lived, has a few acres of fertile land outside the house, which is green and yellow, surrounded by pines and bamboos.The wind blows into the pines, the sound is like the waves, and the tranquility is so beautiful that people can't help but close their eyes and listen.

This Old Summer Palace has a graceful atmosphere and a new beauty, and the two complement each other.Although it is not artificial, it seems to be made by nature.The lakes, ponds, streams, and ditches in the garden are interlaced, the water color reflects green, and the waves illuminate red, all of which are pleasing to the eye, creating a feeling that the world of mortals cannot be drifted away.

Since Fujin didn't come, Chuqing didn't need to make rules.Nanny Xia was also thrown in the mansion, with only a spring flower with soft ears beside her.How beautiful and boundless the little days are!Of course, this garden of more than [-] mu is far more interesting than Prince Yong's Mansion.

Yuanmingyuan is still a new garden now, without the slightest antiquated atmosphere, just like a pretty girl, with a charming smile and a lively look.

Everywhere is charming, and every arrangement is orchid quality.When Chuqing first came, she would go shopping everywhere in the morning and evening, and at other times, she mainly stayed at the Lianxi Music Place to enjoy the coolness.

When Chuqing was in the mansion, she didn't get close to Da Gege, but now they live close to each other, and she lives with Hongshi again, gradually Chuqing got to know each other after visiting a few more times.Da Gege's name is Wanyi, and she lives up to her name.

At the age of fourteen, she is already a big girl.When Chuqing and Hongshi were running and playing, she would always sit under the rolled plantain leaves and watch from a distance, smiling quietly.It was Chunhua who embroidered flowers with her girl Keer as a companion.

Chuqing is an only child in modern times and has always wanted to have a sister.In front of Chunhua, she has always been regarded as the master, which cannot be changed, but it is different when she is with Da Gege.

Although Chuqing is actually older than Wanyi in spirit, but Wanyi has the demeanor of the daughter of a royal family, her actions are steady and virtuous, and she is dedicated to taking care of her as a little sister, so Chuqing is happy to pretend to be small.What's more, there is no doubt about her lively nature and free thinking.

Waking up early this morning, Chuqing went to Yingshui Lanxiang to have breakfast with Wanyi.Hongshi followed Yinzhen to attend the opera in Changchun Garden with the old man Kangxi.After breakfast, the four girls pinched impatiens together to dye their nails.Kerr is as ingenious as her master. She can weave flower baskets out of wicker and fold boat houses out of bamboo leaves.

Chuqing piled up the picked impatiens in the flower basket, Chunhua stood aside and smashed them with a small wooden pestle, mixed them with alum, and dyed the nails of the two princesses.With her left hand, Chuqing let Chunhua play with it, and with her right hand, she held Keer's folded bamboo-leaf figure to look around, and urged Chunhua to finish it quickly, she wanted to learn how to fold bamboo leaves.

Chunhua smiled and promised: "Okay, master, don't be too busy, come here one by one. The servant girl will be reborn as Nezha in the next life, and then she will be a errand for the master after she has three heads and six arms. Okay?"

Chuqing smiled and said, "Follow me, and Chunhua's mouth will also learn badly."

Wanyi pursed her lips and smiled, "Sister Qing is really straightforward."

Chuqing smirked, "It's true when you talk fast, but your heart has many twists and turns. It has nine bends and eighteen bends, which is comparable to the flow of the Yellow River into the sea."

After finishing her beautiful career as a girl, Wanyi began to sit on the celadon embroidered pier by the pool, fishing with a fishing rod in her hand.Seeing that she hung up one tail, she let Ke'er take it off and put it into the water, and caught another one, and so on.Chuqing admired her patience and good temper.After taking a look, it seems to be edible, but I don't know if there are many thorns.Soup head office, right?Doesn't need April [-]th approval?Then another day, April [-] is not here today.

When Chuqing is playing and doing things now, she will slowly think about April [-] first.She can no longer take Sisi's kindness to her for granted.She did come here with understanding and liking for him, but he was different.He has his identity, his ideological education.Chuqing knew that these problems could not be solved overnight.She wants it to simmer.Put the long line and catch big fish!

"Oh, what a fat and big fish! Sister Wanyi, you are really good at fishing!" Chu Qing hopped to the edge of Yulangan, probing her head and yelling.

Wanyi smiled, "Sister Qing, the pool at Lianxi Lechu has excellent grass carps, koi, and flower greens, why haven't you seen them before?"

"I went to enjoy the lotus. The fish are probably sleeping and dreaming under the lotus leaves. I dreamed that I made grilled fish, and I was too scared to come out of the water."

"Thinking of eating after a while, what a greedy cat." Wanyi put her hand in shame.She looks gentle and amiable.Chu Qing's expression darkened suddenly, and she lay down on the stone table and sighed.

"What's wrong"

"It's nothing." She thought that Sisi's daughter was ten years older than her, and her future was bleak.Where is the end?What is waiting for her at the end?Is there four four?Hey--

Chunhua is very used to her master's mood swings, so she changed the subject and said, "Master, didn't you argue about trying some rice in a bamboo tube? The prince is not here today..." Chunhua stopped when she ordered.

As expected, Chuqing's eyes lit up, and she clapped her palms excitedly, "That's right! Today is a good day, and everything you want can come true..." After humming a little song, Chuqing asked Chunhua to hurry up.

"Bake it with cypress branches, dried bamboo leaves, and dried pine needles. It's guaranteed to have a special taste in your heart! Put [-]% of glutinous rice, [-]% of japonica rice, red dates and bean paste, and don't forget to add sugar."

Chuqing ordered to start talking about the food, and Chunhua smiled and took the order to prepare.

Wanyi looked at Chuqing, smiled and shook her head, "I've never seen someone who likes to make a fuss about food like you."

"That's because you were used to being harsh after April Fourth." Chu Qing slandered casually.

It took Wanyi a long time to get used to the indecent address of "Four Fourth".She knew that the whole house was under Chuqing's control, and even Ama herself didn't care much about it, so she didn't have to and couldn't say anything more.

"Sister Qing is naturally different from us in the Prince's Mansion."

"Prince's Mansion? Oh... yes." Chu Qing laughed dryly.The Prince's Mansion helped her take a lot of scapegoats.This name is also very useful, people here only respect, and will not give birth to inquiry and doubt.

The people in the dining room are very quick-witted.Chunhua next to Xiao Gege spread the word that they want to eat rice in bamboo tubes, and they can make real ones after a brief description of the requirements.At the same time, I also made bamboo tube meat and bamboo tube vegetables by analogy.There is still room to carve the pattern of auspicious clouds and peonies on the green shell of the bamboo tube.

Chuqing was willing to prepare the materials and burn them by herself beside the rice field behind Yingshui Lanxiang's house, but Wanyi refused to say anything.One is because of the incompatibility of identities, the other is that she is afraid that she will be burned, and the third is that she will be burned.Chuqing could only wait patiently.Finally, the spring flowers came, and she couldn't wait to reach out and grab them.

"Ouch!" It was scalding.Chuqing stretched out her hands and stuck out her tongue, while Chunhua hurriedly picked up her little hand to look at it.

The people who brought the rice in bamboo tubes hurriedly knelt down, "Damn the servant." There was infinite fear and trembling in the voice.It's not like other people just get used to "damn" casually.

Chu Qing gave him a strange look. He was fifteen or sixteen years old, with a handsome appearance, and a pair of frightened eyes exuded simplicity.

"Are you new here?" The others probably knew her temper, so they wouldn't be so frightened.

"Yes, yes, the slave is the little stone who works in the kitchen in the garden. No, I didn't remind the master, damn it, damn it." Little Shitou probably remembered that the masters said that they should always say damn it.

"Small stones? Did you make these?" Chuqing took Chunhua and carefully opened it to reveal half of the rice in a bamboo tube that was as white as jade mixed with the scent of sweet dates on a red background.

"Your servant...the servant is only responsible for washing rice and chopping bamboo...and carving flowers."

Troublesome things naturally have to bully newcomers to do.

Chu Qing looked at the bamboo tube with a smile, "Yeah. You carved it beautifully!"

Xiao Shitou's face was flushed red, he didn't know whether it was nervous or excited, he just looked at Chu Qing blankly.Is she the little princess whom the prince and master love so much in the big kitchen?

Little Grid is so cute.When talking to him, you will look into his eyes, laugh, and have a clear and sweet voice.No wonder the prince likes him.Little Stone also likes Master Little Gege very much now.

"Bold! Don't back down! If you don't punish you, you can't wait for the reward. The masters are also you can look around?" Ke'er took the lead in scolding.

Chuqing looked at Wanyi beside her, she had already turned her face sideways while flicking her handkerchief, frowning uncomfortably.

Only then did Chuqing realize that Da Gege's identity is not used to strangers.Not to mention a male servant of the same age.

Chu Qing gave Xiao Shitou a relieved smile, "It's okay, Xiao Shitou, you can go back."

Xiao Shitou came back to his senses, and knocked his head vigorously three times, his forehead banging against the bluestone tiles engraved with passionflowers, it hurt even when he heard it.When it was over, he backed away blankly.

Chunhua couldn't help laughing and said, "He's a country boy."

Ke'er said: "It can only be in the garden, if it's in the mansion, look at the nuns who don't take care of him and take him off."

Chuqing looked at Ke'er lightly, "It's boring if there are too many smart people. Sister Wanyi, please taste it quickly."

Wanyi gently scooped up half a spoonful of rice with a spoon, chewing with barely visible opening and closing of her lips.Chuqing sighed secretly, during these time spent together, she knew that Wanyi was trained into this habit by her mother, Erniang, and she was not pretending.It's just that such small sips are slow and solemn, can you taste the deliciousness of the food?
