Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 171 From the Rain Pavilion

Going down along the pond, you can see a area of ​​powder walls and several couplets of repair houses.

When you walk in again, you can see that there are thousands of poles of green bamboos, dense phoenix tails, and thin dragons singing.

Chen Wenyi said: "This is Tingyu Pavilion."

When she entered the door, Chen Wenyi said that this Tingyu Pavilion was a courtyard specially arranged for her to live in after being selected in the garden.

Even Chen Xihai said that listening to Yuge is really interesting.

Chen Wenxin felt that the scene in front of him was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

She walked and watched all the way.

When you enter the door, you can see the zigzag veranda. On the roof of the veranda are various freehand paintings, such as Zhao Feiyan dancing on the palm of his hand, and Li Bai lying drunk in the restaurant.

Each picture is accompanied by a poem, and Zhao Feiyan's one is accompanied by "Dancing in the palm, the sound of the flute is perfect, and the autumn night in the 36 palaces is long."

Li Bai's match is "The emperor can't get on the boat, and claims to be a minister of wine."

Each one is full of poetic flavor, and one after another, it is a beautiful historical story.

Chen Wenxin looked up all the time, and Chen Wenren and others also looked up with her, commenting on the paintings and poems while watching.

Chen Xihai walked behind and couldn't help coughing: "It's a good walk, fall carefully."

When he opened his mouth, whether it was Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin, or Chen Wenren, Chen Wenyi, Chen Wenxin and Zeng Shi, they all lowered their heads in unison.

Bai Lu supported Chen Wenxin, and couldn't help being speechless.

The Patriarch of the Chen family, Mr. Chen, although he doesn't talk much, he is very authoritative when he speaks.

Chen Wenxin lowered her head and exchanged a look with Chen Wenyi, and Zeng exchanged a look with Chen Wenren.

The four of them sniggered, only to see that the stones below the steps became rainy roads...

It turned out that they had reached the gravel road, no wonder Chen Xihai reminded them to look down at the road.

The stones on the ground are all hexagonal pebbles with different colors, which are really beautiful.

Walking through the gravel road, you will see a round arched piercing flower gate, and a small bamboo plaque on the gate reads Tingyu Pavilion.

"It turns out that Tingyu Pavilion is hidden among the green bamboos. It is really quiet and cool."

She suddenly thought of why she felt that the scene in front of her was a little familiar.

This is almost the same as the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Cao Gong's works.

Zeng said with a smile: "Grandma will know when she goes in, the real cool is not here yet."

Walking past the big pear blossoms and broad-leaved plantains in the garden, you can hear the sound of water rushing.

Chen Wenxin couldn't help being surprised, "What kind of movement is this? It sounds like rain."

At this moment, the sky is clear and clear, how can there be the sound of rain?
There was no faucet in the Qing Dynasty, otherwise she must have thought it was someone who didn't turn off the faucet.

Chen Wenyi pushed aside a huge banana leaf and said, "It's raining here."

The scene in front of him made Chen Wenxin stunned on the spot, and even the four girls including Bai Lu were astonished.

There is also a pool in this courtyard, and there is a small stone pavilion in the pool with high cornices.

From the top of the stone pavilion, water flows out, flowing down from the eaves of the pavilion, like rain.

This scene was completely unreasonable, Chen Wenxin was stunned for a while before probing: "This is... Ziyu Pavilion?"

She had seen it in unofficial history books, and it had existed since the Tang Dynasty.

Try to draw the water around the pavilion to the top of the pavilion, and then flow down the eaves of the pavilion, just like the pavilion itself is raining.

So it is called Ziyu Pavilion.

In her previous life, this thing was called a fountain.

In the Qing Dynasty, it was a rare thing to relieve the summer heat, and it was the first time she saw it.

Unexpectedly, there is such a one in Nianxin Garden.

No wonder Chen Xihai said that listening to Yuge is really interesting.

She suddenly figured out why this courtyard was called Ting Yu Pavilion. It turned out that what she heard was the sound of rain from the Yu Pavilion.

"Exactly. I am most afraid of the heat in summer. I am afraid that the supply of icebergs in this garden will not be enough for a while, and there is also a rain pavilion to cool off."

Chen Wenyi explained: "There is no such thing in the lion garden in Suzhou."

This garden is said to be built according to the Lion Garden in Suzhou, but it is actually much more exquisite than the Lion Garden.

Just talking about the Ziyu Pavilion, it took a lot of skilled craftsmen to build it.

There is a bamboo water diversion pipe from the rain pavilion, which leads to the mountain spring in the back mountain.

The mountain spring water flows into the pond under the rain pavilion, and then is drawn to the top of the pavilion through the water diversion pipeline.

Then water was poured on the eaves of the pavilion, and the Qingliang mountain spring slanted down from the surroundings of the pavilion, reflecting thousands of green bamboos, making it more and more cool.

Chen Wenxin really liked it very much, and hurriedly said: "Why don't you go to the pavilion and have a look."

The pavilion is built in the center of the pond for the effect of natural rain.

There is only a path paved with large bluestones leading to the pavilion, and there is no rain curtain in this small area.

There are stone benches and tables in the pavilion, and there is a curved water flow outside the pavilion, which is very cool.

Everyone sat in the pavilion at will, Chen Wenxin said: "Such a marvelous place, if we don't hold a grand party with curved water and cups, we will really live up to the beautiful scenery."

Chen Wenli read the book for a while, and said actively: "If the third sister is interested, she will also bring Wenli along."

Chen Wenxin is the youngest, not to be outdone, "I'll come too!"

Chen Wenyi raised his eyebrows, "The fourth brother is coming, so he can only copy poems, not compose poems."

Earlier, Chen Xihai inspected the homework of Chen Wenli and Chen Wenxin and ordered them to compose poems.If you can't do it within the stipulated time, you will be punished for copying.

Chen Wenxin was only nine years old, so he was not good enough in his homework, and Chen Xihai asked him to copy as a punishment.

All he was asked to copy were ancient poems by Tang and Song masters, such as Li Bai and Du Fu's. On the contrary, he was asked to memorize Tang poems and Song Ci by heart.

Now Chen Wenyi used this to mock him, Chen Wenxin hugged his thigh coquettishly, "Second brother is the worst, always bullying me!"

This is obviously because Chen Xihai and his wife are here, and they took the opportunity to file a complaint.

Zheng said angrily: "Now that you are in school, and you still act like a baby, mother will feel ashamed for you."

Calling a complaint was useless, Chen Wenxin pursed his lips.

Chen Wenxin hurriedly bent down and hugged him, "Fifth brother is not afraid, there is a sister here, don't let the second brother bully you."

Chen Wenxin smiled and clapped his hands and cheered, "I know, the second brother is most afraid of the third sister, hahaha."

He was a child with no taboo, and everyone in the pavilion laughed when they heard this.

Speaking of which, Chen Wenyi even dared to contradict Chen Xihai in the past, that is, when facing Chen Wenxin, he obeyed.

Chen Wenyi smiled, picked up his collar by the back of his neck, and made a gesture to throw him out of the pavilion.

He made a vicious look, "You know as much as you do."

Chen Wenxin stretched out his hand with a smile, and used his small palm to catch the mountain spring water flowing from the pavilion, dancing with his hands and feet.

"I'm not afraid, the third sister is here."

The third sister is amazing, even the elder brothers obey her in the elder brother's office.

The other teachers who taught the class were also polite when they talked about the third sister.

When he and Chen Wenli first arrived at elder brother's office, they were often teased by that naughty second elder brother.

I always add some water to their inkstones from time to time, or pluck a few hairs from their brushes.

Later, the third sister came to give them a math class. After the class, Tete came and talked with them for a long time before leaving the elder brother's office.

The second elder brother came to inquire with them.

"What is the relationship between you and Qin Erniang? Why did she talk to you?"

Brothers have read too much, and there must be a reason for talking to the two of them alone.

Chen Wenli told the second elder brother that the concubine Qin is the sister of the two of them.

After that, the second elder brother treated the two of them very well. Not only did he stop teasing them, but he even came to talk to them from time to time.

When he gave the fourth elder brother some snacks to eat, he would also give them two for the brothers.

Chen Wenxin smiled and made a final decision, "Then it's settled like this. In a few days, I will personally post a post to invite everyone, and let's be arty again."

She turned to Chen Xihai and said, "Father will definitely come too, and make things right for us."

What's the point of participating in a children's party like an elder?

Chen Xihai should have refused, thinking that it was rare for Chen Wenxin to go home, why bother to spoil her interest?
Zheng Shi also looked at him expectantly, and he nodded.

Chen Wenxin turned to Zeng again, "The eldest sister-in-law must also come, and she cannot refuse. I heard from my mother that the sister-in-law was originally in the boudoir, and she is also a beautiful and talented woman."

Zeng shyly said, "I don't dare to be a talented woman. My aunt has said so, but she is disrespectful."

She was originally an extremely dignified and stable person, but after entering the Chen family, seeing how harmonious the Chen family was, she was influenced by them to be able to joke around.

As far as she thought, it was much better for a family to talk and laugh in harmony than to respect each other on the surface and have resentment and dissatisfaction secretly.

Chen Wenren and Zheng Shi also often encouraged her not to be rigid at home, as the Chen family did not have so many rules.

At first she thought it was just being polite, but later she accompanied Mrs. Zheng into the palace, and when she saw Chen Wenxin, she understood.

She is a lofty and beloved concubine, and she is also respectful to her sister-in-law who comes from an ordinary background, and she smiles affectionately.

It was too late for the Chen family to be happy with such a harmonious family style.

A few times before going home, her parents and elders also said that her complexion was much rosier than before, and her temperament was more lively.

Her father was also very relieved, saying that he did not misread the Chen family's marriage.

Is this why Chen Wenxin said that she is more charming than before?
The days are relaxed and happy, and the natural complexion is rosy and shiny.

Bai Lu saw that her master and family were happy and harmonious, and reminded her in a low voice: "Master, it's time to take the medicine. Why don't you invite your lords and wives to talk in the room together?"

When she came out of the palace, she had tossed about with the staff, and wandered around the garden, so she must be tired.

After Bai Lu said this, everyone seemed to realize that Chen Wenxin was still sick.

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly said: "I was confused. I forgot that you were still sick. What garden are you busy visiting at this time?"

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Chen Wenxin.

She didn't look weak at all along the way, but her face was rosy because of excitement.

Only then did everyone feel relieved, thinking that the illness was really nothing to worry about.

Chen Wenxin quickly took Zheng Shi's hand, "Mother, I told you and my father that my illness is really nothing serious, are you trustworthy now?"

Chen Xihai has a heart disease, so why not her?
As soon as she leaves the palace, she will be well if she is sick.

Mrs. Zheng nodded, "If that's the case, shall we talk in the room?"
