Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 72 Swimming pool or bathtub?

The weather gradually warmed up, and after that trip to Xuanmu Mountain, Daiyu really didn't go out of the house anymore.Every day, he either learns the rules from Madam Yang or learns needlework and embroidery from Aunt Luo.The craftsmanship has become more and more skilled and has the appearance of a lady.

Nanny Yang is getting more and more satisfied looking at Daiyu, but Aunt Luo has been restless in recent months.Huang Jiyun didn't know if he had a grudge against him, seeing Daiyu's embroidery became more and more delicate, and her stitches became more proficient, so Huang Jiyun gave Daiyu extra homework, which made Daiyu spend a lot of time thinking.

Originally Huang Jiyun was a little disappointed with Daiyu, but Daiyu didn't make much progress in couplets, poems, and music.Chess, which was thought to be very spiritual before, now seems mediocre.

But by chance, Huang Jiyun discovered that Daiyu was very talented in painting. After more than a year of careful teaching, Daiyu's progress was amazing.The flowers and plants in Daiyu's works are either blooming, wilting, blooming, or withering, and they all have spirituality, which is very expressive.

People often say that calligraphy and painting are not separated from each other, but Daiyu's handwriting, although it has a good appearance after a few years, has lost its character, which adds flaws to the paintings for no reason.Nowadays, many of Daiyu's paintings are either ghostwritten by Huang Jiyun, but most of them are blank with no inscriptions.Huang Jiyun made up his mind to practice Daiyu's handwriting.

Daiyu was also very interested, of course, mainly the paintings that Huang Jiyun inscribed, which indeed looked more interesting, and Daiyu also wanted to inscribe herself.During the New Year's Eve last year, Daiyu gave Wanyu a pair of "Pictures of Cold Plums and Ao Xue" that Huang Jiyun helped inscribe in the New Year's festival.

Wan Yu replied that she liked it very much, and Dai Yu was also very happy.But how many Daiyu have regrets in their hearts, if the word was mentioned by herself, it would be better, it would not be said that she borrowed Huang Jiyun's light.So he also made up his mind to practice calligraphy well.

As a result, the previous plan to make all the paintings into embroidery can only be temporarily put on hold.Aunt Luo was naturally a little dissatisfied, and wanted to find Huang Jiyun to coordinate Daiyu's study time.

Aunt Luo didn't want to find Huang Jiyun twice. Not only was there no result, Huang Jiyun also looked at Aunt Luo with disdain and said, "That's just a side skill, and it will never be a good thing. It's fine if you don't learn it! "In Huang Jiyun's mind, Daiyu is so talented, how can she waste it on needlework female red?But she threw Aunt Luo on her back in anger.

In this way, the two kept arguing and arguing, and this kind of argument continued until the Dragon Boat Festival, and Aunt Luo never got the upper hand.Nanny Yang shook her head while watching, but Daiyu's life didn't change at all.

Every day, Daiyu would get up early to practice calligraphy for half an hour, and then learn the rules from Nanny Yang for half a day, take a nap after lunch, and practice painting in the garden for two hours in the afternoon, and then go to Aunt Luo's needlework after finishing.

But now the "rules" are not just rules, there are also many things that should be taught by the mother, such as: Hexiang.Naturally, the Lin family has accumulated a lot of various Hexiang formulas that have been handed down from family members for hundreds of years.But Jia Min went there before he had time to teach Daiyu.

Nanny Yang didn't know much by herself, so she taught Daiyu two kinds, and Daiyu found it very interesting, so she searched for various recipes in the mansion.Daiyu is not stingy, so she shared these recipes with Yang Nanny, and Yang Nanny taught Daiyu even more attentively.

But after such a long time, the active factor in Daiyu's soul began to become more and more active. Before, Huang Jiyun would occasionally take her out for fun, but now she stays in the mansion step by step every day.

Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival was just around the corner, Daiyu was wearing a plain white fine cotton coat with only a small bellyband inside, and she also felt very hot.This is because she quietly took off her inner shirt regardless of Jin'er's objection.

I don't know if it's because my body is getting better, or what, but I didn't feel so hot and flustered in previous years.One day Daiyu was standing in the Dilu Pavilion painting a pool full of delicate and beautiful lotus flowers, so she had the idea of ​​swimming in the water, but Daiyu knew that if she said it, she might scare the whole family to death, so she could only think about it by herself. with.

Even though Diluxuan had placed the military basin, Daiyu was still flustered, and couldn't help but said to Jin'er: "What is this Diluxuan, it should be renamed Dihanxuan!" The children and others were amused.But Daiyu couldn't laugh, she really felt it was too hot, especially when she saw Jin'er and others were still wearing two or three layers.

After all, this matter did not bother Daiyu for a long time, and Daiyu thought of a way when she was taking a bath at night.Early the next morning, Daiyu summoned Lin Yi, the old housekeeper.Lin Yi didn't know why Daiyu was looking for him. Usually, if there was something to explain, he would ask his wife to tell it. The only time he was looking for him was the last time when he was sorting out the property.

Lin Yi was worried that something serious was going to happen again, so he didn't dare to delay, so he rushed to see Daiyu.Sitting on the cool couch in the flower hall, Daiyu saw the old housekeeper coming, if it wasn't for the years of aristocratic education, and according to her original temperament, she would have gone over and pulled the old housekeeper with a smirk on her face.

But at this moment, Daiyu just smiled gently and said, "Jin'er asks Lin Bo to sit down and talk." That elegant and calm, if Jin'er hadn't been following her side by side, she might not have been able to guess her Those who are restless and mischievous.

After seeing Lin Yi sitting down, Daiyu said softly: "I saw Fanghui courtyard has been empty, I don't know what it was used for, and what arrangements are there?" Lin Yi thought about it carefully before saying: "The courtyard is empty. It’s been vacant for 30 to [-] years, it used to be where a cousin girl lived, and it’s been vacant since then.” After speaking, she looked at Daiyu puzzled.

No matter how much Lin Yi thought about it, he never thought that Daiyu Tete came to him and asked about an empty courtyard.Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Daiyu interjected: "That's good. Later, Lin Bo will find someone to demolish all the houses in the yard and dig a big pond."

After finishing speaking, Daiyu didn't look at Lin Yi's surprised expression, and picked up the tea and took a sip.Turning to Jin'er again, he said, "This tea is not bad, serve Lin Bo a cup too. Later, you all have to taste it."

But how could Lin Yi be in the mood to drink tea at this time?All eyes are full of girls, why do you want to demolish the house!Daiyu didn't keep him waiting, she just took a sip and put down the teacup.It was as if he had just seen the surprise and bewilderment on Lin Yi's face.

Daiyu laughed and said, "At that time, Uncle Lin will build a drain for the big pond, otherwise the running water in the pond will become stagnant. Then build a large room on top of the pond." Daiyu thought in her heart, so it would be an indoor swimming pool Yes, she has visited that courtyard, although it is located a little bit off, near the west corridor.The area is not small.

Lin Yi had seen a lot of things in the past few decades. Hearing Daiyu's words, he smiled and said, "So the girl wanted to build a bath, and the bath must draw hot spring water from the mountain. The courtyard will be removed from the water. There is a partition in the middle, and a pool is built on the left and right sides, and the same water source is there." Daiyu was stunned when she heard that, didn't she?How can there be a swimming pool in this day and age?

Daiyu thought that if she could really attract hot springs, I would recognize the baths too!He also thought that if Lin Ruhai came back in the future, it would be nice to have hot spring water to soak in, so he said with a smile: "It's better for Lin Bo to be more thoughtful, so he will separate the left and right sides, and dig a separate pool for the right side, and try to If it is bigger, it will be better to bring in the mountain spring water."

Lin Yi didn't understand why Daiyu was obsessed with size. No matter how big the bathing pool was, how big could it be?Furthermore, where is there a place to take a bath in the mountain spring?Making tea is almost the same, but I have never seen anyone who uses ponds to store mountain spring water for making tea.

Daiyu saw that Lin Yi was hesitant to speak, so she asked, "Does Uncle Lin have any good suggestions?" Lin Yi then told Daiyu in detail what was on his mind just now, and Daiyu immediately listened to it. Knowing that Lin Yi had misunderstood, he quickly said: "I see it this way, let Aunt Lin bring the design to Uncle Lin later, and then build according to Sudden."

Daiyu was afraid for a while, if her swimming pool was built according to Lin Bo's understanding, even if it could only be used as a bathing pool!Then said such a sentence.But Lin Yi didn't understand, what kind of pattern does this bath pool need?

So Lin Yi said with a smile: "Where do you need a pattern for the bathing pool? Girl, give it to me. I will build it for you. Just wait and see." He got up and was about to leave.Daiyu immediately became anxious, if he really wanted to let him go, wouldn't my swimming pool really become a swimming pool?
Daiyu smiled calmly and said, "It's not too late for Lin Bona to go and see that it's under construction, but it's just my idea." After hearing this, Lin Yi didn't think much about it, so he went He replied: "That's fine! The old slave is waiting for the girl's picture, and the one built for the girl will be exactly the same." After speaking, he left with a smile on his face.

Daiyu was lost in thought for a while, is there any mountain springs near Gusu?I really didn't notice it in my previous life!After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out, so Brick couldn't help asking Jin'er: "Is there any hot spring near us? Why haven't I heard of it?"

After hearing this, Jin'er thought for a while and shook her head, "Maybe it's better to ask Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang has traveled a lot, so maybe he knows. We are just locked in this house, how can we know what's going on outside?" Dai Yu also nodded after hearing this, and then let it go without mentioning it.

Back at the house, Daiyu recalled the swimming pools of the major swimming pools she had been to in her previous life, and she felt that they were all similar.If we talk about hot spring pools, then Huaqing Pool has a bit of flavor.Especially the Jiangshan Pool washed by Qin Shihuang.But where can I find those many jade stones to pave the pond?After thinking about it, Daiyu began to design her own swimming pool.

Since Lin Yi thought it was a bathing pool, he couldn't build it according to the standard swimming pool in his previous life, otherwise it would lead to many problems.After an afternoon of hard work, two courtyards consisting of three stone houses of different sizes came to life on paper.

It turned out that the courtyard wall on the east side of Fanghui Courtyard was also demolished, and a separate courtyard was extended beside it, which was full of camphor trees, and a stone house stood in the middle of the tall camphor forest.A cobblestone road in front of the stone house is connected to the courtyard gate, and another cobblestone road is connected to a small wooden door.The hot spring water flows around the stone house to the original Fanghuiyuan.

All the flowers and plants in Fanghuiyuan were transplanted out, and trees such as red maple, ginkgo and magnolia were replanted.Two stone houses of different sizes were built in the forest, each with two large windows at the front and back.The stone house on the other side is arranged in a word of "pin", and the hot spring water passes around the house and is introduced into the lotus pond, and then drained out.

The two stone houses are still connected by cobblestone paving, and there is a smaller hot spring pool outside.Inside is a mountain spring pool that is larger than the two hot spring pools combined.The three pools are all surrounded by Taihu stones, and the bottom is paved with round and smooth pebbles.Some shade-tolerant and water-loving flowers and plants are also planted on the surrounding Taihu Lake stones.

When Lin Yi got the stack of patterns, he was a little dumbfounded, didn't he mean to build a bathing pool?How did it become like this?The end is beautiful, especially the season when the maple red ginkgo is floating, even the magnolia in spring is also extremely beautiful.And the camphor forest, in the heat of the hot spring water, looks quiet and distant like a fairyland.Sui Linyi also began to follow the same pattern full of excitement and novelty.

　Does anyone like Daiyu's swimming pool?Welcome everyone to come together O(∩_∩)O haha~
