By Jia Xiuzhen

In the early morning of the next day, Li Wan got up to freshen up, first watched people carry things, and then asked Suyun Biyue to go to the flower garden to pick up the blooming chrysanthemums, and prepared to send them in later for Mrs. Jia Muwang to comb her hairpin use.Nanny Chang also waited on the side, seeing Li Wan like this, said with a smile: "Grandma, don't expect to have a rest today."

Li Wan smiled and said, "It's just a matter of fun today. The old lady is not sure how happy she is. It's always right to be more prepared."

While talking, Grandma Liu and her grandson Ban'er came into the garden and exchanged greetings.Li Wan recalled what he said about thatched grass ridge yesterday, so he asked: "The barren hill you mentioned yesterday, could it be that it is bald without thatched grass? No grass grows at all?"

Grandma Liu said with a smile: "It's strange. Back then, the mountain was only covered with thatch grass, so I got this name. Now there are still some weeds, but it's just not a climate. The wind and rain wiped the soil thinner, and probably only moss will grow in the future." gone."

Li Wan nodded and said: "If there is some way to turn it into a useful green hill, that would be great."

Grandma Liu laughed and said, "That's hard to count. Because this mountain is barren, there is no owner. We have to go up the mountain to grab grass and vegetables. If it is really a mountain with tall trees and dense forests, how can we find it?" In such a boundary, I am afraid that someone will occupy it early in the morning. At that time, I am afraid that I will not be able to go up and grab grass. It is fine, and it has nothing to do with us."

Li Wancai was still thinking about making some soil to 'make amends', but when he heard this, he couldn't do it too well.He asked again, "What if the grass grows all over the mountain again?"

Grandma Liu said, "Unless no one wants the basket anymore, as long as there are still people who want it, it won't be two years before it will still be a bald life."

Nanny Chang asked, "Since we want to use that thatch, why not cut it and grow it at the same time? The thatch is perennial, and it will grow again next year. I don't know how to get rid of it."

Grandma Liu shook her head and said, "It turned out that there were many insects in the deep grass, and few people went up there. Later, people from three or four nearby villages came to cut thatch. Eat it. This way, that root is easy to get. Isn’t that root medicinal material? "

Mother Chang just laughed: "Anyway, it's better to get it from others. Only when there is an owner can someone take care of it. Anything that has no owner can be ruined. It's not your own if you live there anyway. It’s only when you get home. But it’s going to be even more ruthless!”

Grandma Liu nodded: "That's exactly what you said."

After a while, Mother Jia came in with a large group of people.Li Wan saw it from a distance, and smiled at several people: "Let me talk? The old lady is so happy that she came so early." After speaking, he led others to meet him.

After joking and joking, Sister Feng went over there to look at the things she had taken from upstairs, and said with a smile to Li Wan, "I just wanted to say, the old lady is happy today, so she might as well prepare all that can be prepared, and use it if it is not complete." Come on. I was busy when I sent someone over just now, so I missed that one sentence. It looks good now, and you have thought of it."

Li Wan said: "A wise man will lose a lot of money, and a fool will gain a lot of money, so it should be on today's matter." Sister Feng laughed when she heard this.

Li Wan said again: "At first I thought I would only come here at breakfast time, but I didn't expect to enter the garden now. What will happen next? Where should I put breakfast?"

Sister Feng laughed and said, "You ask me, I'll ask who to go to! It's still early, let's go for a stroll first. Look at this time of year, the lotus root Xiangxie played once yesterday, or it's not known if it's just placed at the third sister's place. "

Sure enough, Mother Jia has got up there, and is about to show Grandma Liu around.Li Wan and others hurriedly followed up, watching as they went, and went all the way to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.After entering the room, I saw that all kinds of furniture were well-crafted and exquisite.Thousands of green bamboos shake the shadows in the whole courtyard, and the books reflected in the windows are also green.

Jia Mu looked around and said to Sister Feng, "it's rare for you to find these few horses of soft smoke to paste her windows. That's how it looks."

Sister Feng didn't talk at all, so she turned back to look at Daiyu, who then turned to look at her mothers and maids.Sister Feng understood, and said with a smile: "The old ancestors praised me wrongly this time. Last time when I changed the summer windows everywhere, I remembered that sister Lin's place was made of 'emerald gauze'. Now the color is probably made by them. of."

Only then did Mother Xin come up and reply: "Back to the words of the old lady and the second grandma. This was brought from my home last time. The emerald gauze I brought was changed at first, but later I saw that the paste looks good on it, so I changed it like this. .”

Jia Mu looked at the window again and asked, "What's the name of that yarn? Once you say it, I'll look at it again. It is indeed different from the Xiaying yarn in the soft smoke. That color is the same, but this one looks like It's a bit different up and down."

Mother Xin had no choice but to tell the truth: "What the old lady said is that this yarn is called 'Yanlan', and it is a kind of shark yarn. Because it is dyed like a hazy haze, the color gradually becomes lighter and thicker, so it is its name."

Mother Jia couldn't help but take a closer look at the nanny, nodded and said, "You guys changed well. It looks very suitable."

Grandma Liu was reciting the Buddha's name. Mother Jia asked with a smile, and Grandma Liu said, "Don't say we've seen it before. We never even thought that there is such a thing in the world. It's really an eye-opener."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "What's this worth? When you leave, I'll give you two horses."

Grandma Liu is very grateful.Xiangyun smiled and said, "Old Ancestor, Sister Lin has more than one or two rare things here. When I came last night, I saw her Pearl Lantern. Although it is not big, it is very bright. The most surprising thing is that the lamp head of this lamp is facing downwards. When it is lit, it is not blocked at all, and the room illuminated backwards is brighter than the daytime."

Jia Mu laughed and said, "How old are you, and how many things have you seen? The Lin family has been a rich family for several dynasties, so they don't know how many good things. You only follow your sister Lin, so you must open your eyes."

After sitting for a while, a daughter-in-law came to ask where the breakfast was placed. Sure enough, what Jiamu meant was in Qiushuangzhai.After hearing this, Li Wan secretly convinced Sister Feng that she could predict things like a god.So Jia Mu took everyone on board and walked by water. On the other side, Sister Feng, Li Wan, and Tanchun, the host's family, took a shortcut and went to Qiushuangzhai to make arrangements.

Since then, the women have moved the tables, desks, chairs and stools that have just been prepared.When dispatching, Sister Feng discussed with Yuanyang about making fun of Grandma Liu.Li Wan offered a few words of persuasion, but no one listened to her after all.

Sure enough, during the meal, Grandma Liu made two big jokes, which made the crowd very happy.When Li Wan covered his face and smiled, he paid special attention to the old man's face.Although he laughed loudly at the audience, the old man didn't feel too shy, and he still had fun with him.Suddenly I felt something in my heart, and I was about to remember this moment firmly in my mind, and I will go back to the Pearl Realm to refer to it carefully.

After Jia's mother, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang and their sisters had finished eating, the broken table was cleaned up, and then the meal for Sister Feng and Li Wan was served.Both Sister Feng and Yuanyang talked to Grandma Liu about what happened just now, and they only said it was a joke, so she shouldn't worry about it.Grandma Liu didn't care about it, Li Wan found out what it meant, and he respected her even more.Sister Feng took the mandarin ducks to eat together again, and everyone stopped chopsticks after picking two bites at random.Yuanyang stood up and began to distribute the remaining dishes.Grandma Liu laughed: "People here stop eating only two chopsticks, what can this do?"

Thinking of Jia Lan, Li Wan smiled and said, "We have something to eat here, but we're not here today. If he eats with his arms loose, I'm afraid our table won't be enough."

Grandma Liu was overjoyed when she heard this: "It's such a blessing! To tell the truth from grandmas, we have never heard of the food you eat here, let alone have seen it. It's just that I watched your food intake coldly from the side. It's really... Sigh No matter how good it is, it can’t be eaten or swallowed, so what’s the use of it!”

Sister Feng said with a smile: "You eat it once in a while and feel fresh. If you really let you eat like this every day, you will be tired and you won't be able to eat any more."

Li Wan said: "We move less on weekdays than you. After a day's work, we naturally have to eat more to be strong. Here, many people can't walk a few steps a day. How can we have that appetite? If so Accidentally ate two more mouthfuls a day, saved food, and still made a fuss."

Grandma Liu shook her head again and again.

After Jia's mother came over to rest for a while, the little operas in the mansion were arranged for a while to practice the repertoire, and then they took all the people on a boat to play downstream.This time we arrived at Hengwu Garden.Grandma Liu saw that the whole mountain was surrounded by the courtyard, so she said: "How can you figure it out!"

At this time, autumn is thick, and all kinds of herbs are fruitful and seeded, some are as red as stones, or purple as crystals, which is a lively time.I only entered the house, but it was empty.There are neither books piled up on the walls of the Xiaoxiang Hall, nor a sea of ​​writings on the large cases lined up in Qiushuangzhai, only a few things in Xiaoxiao, and even the quilts, mattresses and curtains are more plain than the surrounding ones.

Li Wan was also surprised when he saw it, so he went to see Jia's mother. Sure enough, Jia's mother's complexion was a little gloomy, and she turned her head and scolded Miss Feng for her petty things, and didn't bring anything to the girls.Aunt Xue was busy explaining Baochai's "strange temper" all along.When Jia Mu heard that she was always like this at home, she couldn't even ask, and asked Yuanyang to remember to take a few of her own personal decorations to clean up for her.

Li Wan sighed lightly: "This is too plain, I have no place to live."

Sister Feng laughed softly and said, "You know what! She is prone to coughing. Although she doesn't have long hair, she can't even catch her breath. So she only likes less and not too much, and likes plain and not too much." Vibrant."

Li Wan said: "Isn't there a pill given by the monk?"

Sister Feng said: "How much later did that happen? When I was sick in the early years, I made the habits of that time into my temperament. Now that I have the medicine, how can I change it easily? Another thing is that even if there is medicine, there will always be medicine." It’s one time to eat less.”

Li Wan nodded and remained silent.

When we arrived at the pavilion of Zhuijin, all the small operas in the Ou Champs Elysees across the water were already waiting, and when they came to ask about the repertoire, Mother Jia only asked them to pick up the repertoire that they gave birth to.Sister Feng said with a smile: "Old ancestor, it's the first time I heard that you have to listen to hand-made plays when you listen to operas. Ordinarily, who doesn't pick up other people's good plays to order? According to the old ancestors, I am afraid that this sentence will have to be changed in the future. It is just called" Let's play with your hands."

Mother Jia scolded with a smile: "Monkey! Greasy monkey! Even I am joking! You know what, now I heard that they are going to practice, so let's stop by and listen. What else is there to do for the metropolitan. Later we will have a drink and order, so we will listen to each other without delay. It’s okay to miss a few sentences, and it’s not a waste of their thoughts. This is not an easy task. Appropriate? It’s just that you don’t understand. Human affairs can’t be completely perfect from time to time, no matter what matters, and that’s no fun.”

Sister Feng nodded: "The old ancestor's words can only be said by those who have been thoughtful and consummated all their lives. We don't understand."

While speaking, she helped Jia Mu to go in, but Jia Mu stopped and looked around at the flowers and trees. After looking at the flowers and trees for a while, she entered the room and said, "You start to talk about it first, and the second girl will accompany me with Liu's family." Go upstairs and have a look."

Yingchun was taken aback for a moment, and felt that Siqi was eager to pull her sleeves, so she smiled and brought someone up to help Jiamu up the vermilion lacquered stairs to go upstairs.Looking from the fence, the opposite water surface is autumn flat, surrounded by verdant vegetation, old green dotted with red orange, which is just right.Sister Feng also strolled up, and when Jia Mu saw her, she asked her, "How many groups of flower makers in a garden have been allocated? I think the flowers and trees here are well arranged and decorated. This place is not small, with water and water. The building is also rare."

Sister Feng thought for a while and said: "The last time my mother returned to the palace, she ordered to grow more flowers and trees in several places. There was no flower maker, so I just called the kid Yun from the back street to do this. Now I have to change the plants every year. It's all his doing. The side is not good? I think this kid is lazy and slippery, and he won't know what is good until he is called in and scolded."

Jia Mu waved her hand and said, "What are you scolding him for? It's not that the side is bad, it's just that this place is especially good. It's not just by manpower. After all, plants, trees and flowers are all living things, and they have to be perfected by nature." I looked at it carefully again, and praised, "It's a good place."

Then he asked Grandma Liu: "How does Liu's family think this place?"

Grandma Liu smiled and said, "I've never been to such a high place. It's not the same as climbing a mountain. It's beautiful here, but my calves feel a little shivering when I stand close."

When everyone looked at her, they all laughed when they saw her trembling.Jia Mu scolded with a smile: "Seeing that grandma is afraid of heights, why don't you hurry up and help her down, just laughing there, everyone should be taught a lesson." After hearing this, all the girls came up to help her with a smile, and then went downstairs. Go into the hall.
