Rebirth Red Mansion Planting Farms

The dinner was held in the Green Lake Pavilion. The word "Green Lake" comes from "Ying Zhao Fu De Da Ye" written by Shi Qing of the Tang Dynasty, "When the east wind comes, the green lake will go up the mountain."The pavilion is connected to the corridor and is ventilated on all sides. Under the green tiles, there are sixteen bamboo railings, which are three rooms wide and extremely spacious.And hanging above the lake, on both sides of the path leading to the outer wall, there are strange flowers everywhere, with a pleasant fragrance.

Fu An couldn't help but like it when he heard it, and arranged for someone to carry several tables and cases, and placed them in two rows in the Green Lake Pavilion. Each table case was equipped with two sets of bowls and chopsticks, as well as chopstick holders, bone plates and other things.Because Hong Zhan wanted to eat crabs, Fu An asked someone to fetch eight pieces of crabs. The round hammer, small square table, tweezers, long-handled axe, spoon, long-handled fork, scraper, and needle were all made of silver. set.

At night, along the outer edge of the corridor, the Qiansha lanterns along the way were lit, and the palace lanterns were hung up early in the lake green pavilion, and incense was lit.

There are some people who come and go to and from the palaces and temples, some serve tea and serve cups, some cook tea with fans, or pass handkerchiefs to deliver water.

For a while, the two princes Heguo and Guo took their seats, and after everyone stood up and kowtowed, they followed the wishes of the two princes and entered their seats.Qiao'er and Fu An, one is the chief manager, and the other is the owner of half of Dicui Garden. They are busy setting up the banquet, so it is not easy to be seated.Zi Luo Lu Zhi and the others below are not safe, and from time to time they think of ways to drink Qiaoer a few sips of wine, thanks to the excuse that she and the two princes are there, and she dare not neglect, she escaped several catastrophes.

The beautiful scenery on a good day is pleasing to the eye, everyone gradually relaxes from the initial tension, and Fu An and Qiaoer are much closer than usual.Hong Zhou saw the two of them whispering to each other from time to time, directing the servant girls to serve the dishes, and while being amused, he waved his hand and called Qiao'er: "Come here."

Qiao'er obediently went over and stood beside Hong Zhou.

Hong Zhou quickly said: "It's enough to have maids to take care of you there, you and Fu An don't have to do it yourself. If you can't sit still, there is still a lack of servants here for this king, so you can just stand here, there is nothing this king lacks." Good to call you."

Qiaoer agreed in a low voice, Hong Zhan looked at him with a smile, and felt that Qiaoer was more and more outstanding in his drunken eyes, thinking of her sister again, he asked instinctively: "Hey, Xiao Wang asked you something, where is your sister now?" ?”

Qiaoer was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and said, "I live with my parents in the suburbs of Beijing."

Hong Zhan quickly said: "Ask her to go to the garden with you some other day, let me see what kind of rare person he is, call that Prince Hongxi..."

"Cough..." Prince He took a sip of wine suddenly, making Qiaoer jump, and hurriedly stepped forward to serve him to rinse his mouth. Hong Zhan blinked and looked sideways at the deep expression on Hong Zhou's face. The cough came at an untimely time, but it was not easy to point it out directly, so I had to drink to swallow the rest of the words.

Qiao'er was also afraid that he would reveal his flaws if he continued to ask, but it happened that there was a cough with the Prince, but it was covered up.Not long after, a servant girl brought several plates of crabs, and a pile of crabs was placed on the table. Hong Zhou coughed and saw that Hong Zhan stopped talking, so he gave up.

Qiaoer saw that he was fine, so she squatted down, put the autumn crab on the small square table, cut off two large claws and eight crab legs one by one with round-tipped scissors, and gently pointed the round hammer around the crab shell. Beat it in a circle, then split the back shell and navel with a long-handled axe, and then use brazing, tweezers, forks, hammers, or picking or clamping or forking or knocking to take out the golden and shiny crab roe, and then use a small spoon to dip it in. Only then did he hand the crab shell to Hong Zhou.

The whole process is hearty, but elegant, it doesn't seem to be eating crabs, but it seems to be playing a wonderful sound of nature.Even the well-informed Prince Guo Hongzhan was startled. After muttering for a long time, he glanced at his fourth brother, then handed the crab in his hand to Qiaoer and said tremblingly, "Peel one for me too." Bar."

Seeing his silly appearance, Qiaoer wanted to laugh for no reason, and she really picked up the crab, tapped the fork as usual, and handed the crab shell to Hong Zhan, who took it, regardless of Hong Zhan beside him. Zhou frowned and stared at him, then picked up the crab shell and took a mouthful of crab roe, and praised, "Liu Tianqiao, you are really talented. Although these eight pieces of crab are not rare items, they are usually They will definitely not see it, I never thought that you are proficient in using it, and you are more thoughtful in serving you than the little girl in the palace."

After hearing what he said, Qiao'er didn't smile or get angry, so she just stood there with her hands down in embarrassment.

Hong Zhou caught a glimpse of her expression out of the corner of his eyes, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, eating crab roe to himself, and didn't bother her anymore.

This birthday party has completely bought the hearts of Dou Chuntang. Because of the intentional or unintentional reminder from the prince, everyone knows that Qiaoer is a person with a big responsibility, and the times that make things difficult for her are reduced a lot.Qiaoer can also pull away and discuss with He Jing the situation of the embroidery workshop outside.

Although Hong Zhan lived in Dicui Garden for several days, with Hong Zhou around, even if he wanted to meet Qiaoer's sister, he didn't dare to make it too public.The days pass by like a white horse, and the bland as water will come to the Double Ninth Festival.

The embroidery workshop only made three or four pieces of ready-made clothes, thanks to the blessing of the two princes Heguo, the fat and water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the few pieces of clothes were all worn by the two of them.The rest were just obeying Hong Zhou's order and making a dozen chrysanthemum purses.

Because the palace has the habit of planting dogwood and tying chrysanthemum purses on the Double Ninth Day, Hong Zhou thought of this idea. He wanted to bring the purses into the palace and give them away one by one, so as to see what Qingwei Ziluo and the others can do with their craftsmanship.

It was probably the first time to do such a money-making job, and everyone was pleasantly surprised and apprehensive, not knowing how the purse was brought into the palace.Waiting until nightfall, Fu An saw that the lights in the Douchun Hall were still on, and knew what they were thinking, but had no choice but to send a message, saying that the palace had reserved meals, and they would probably not be able to return until noon tomorrow. All the people are unwilling to go back to the room to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, before Qiao'er called, Zi Luo, Green Branches, White Lotus, Xin Yi Wu Tong and others were already waiting in the Dou Chun Tang. Seeing him coming in, they hurriedly gathered around and asked, "Brother, do you have any news?"

Although Qiao'er was also anxious, she was not as impatient as they were. Both she and Fu An had seen the purses sent out yesterday, not to mention the color matching, but the stitching alone was not comparable to ordinary people.In the inner courtyard of the palace, although all these things are managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, these days are still frugal, and no one dares to be too extravagant. The purses made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are also simple and generous. How lovely it should be to send it in.

In the afternoon, as Qiaoer expected, Hong Zhou sent someone to say that all the palaces had offered rewards, and asked Qiaoer to distribute them by himself.

When Qingwei Ziluo and the others heard this, they couldn't help being joyous, even though Qiaoer was mature, she was also very happy, and rewarded everyone with the golden zizi folding fan and other things that were rewarded in the palace.Qing'er and Ruolan each got the veils of magpies climbing branches. The little girls grew up in the mountains and fields, and they heard that the veils were awarded by the palace, and they were very happy.Just when he was happy, Fu An sent a message over there again, saying that it was because the chrysanthemum purse was made very well this time, and the color scheme was generous and noble but not extravagant. go into the palace.

Qiaoer accepted the order with a smile, everyone got such a prize, they were full of energy, and clamored to embroider this and that, Qiaoer was so happy with them, she just took out the pattern booklet, each person still embroiders what each person is good at, plus A supplementary pattern.Externally, He Jing changed the signboard of Rongjin Hall, and put the imperial pen and plaque that Hong Zhou begged from the palace under the eaves in a grand manner, which hardly caused a sensation in the whole Yangliu Town.Even the high officials and nobles in the city became interested in this Rongjin Hall because of the purse sent by Hong Zhou, and one after another someone sent a servant to order clothes and cloth for changing seasons.

With such great fanfare, word spread to Baishui Village within a few days.Ban'er and grandma are naturally happy, Qiao'er Qing'er has this ability to open an embroidery workshop, not to mention that even the nobles in the city are willing to patronize, so there is inevitably a few words missing between the words.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart. The Du Embroidery Villa originally held a grudge for the announcement of the list last time. Now I heard that Qing'er was poached by other embroidery workshops, and the business is flourishing. Others are fine. Only Du Baifang, who had suffered under Qiaoer's mouth, couldn't swallow this breath.

Youxiang, Gexiangxiang, always served Du Baifang close by, and knew her temper like the back of the palm of her hand. Once the outsiders told the situation, several people couldn't help but thump in their hearts, thinking that their girl would not give up easily no matter what. of.

Sure enough, Du Baifang meditated all afternoon, thinking about the words that asked people to follow their Wang family brothers and sisters in those few days. That grandma Liu was an old woman, and her old relatives and friends had long since disappeared. A distant nephew, let alone a grandnephew.Hearing that Liu Tianqiao was outside taking care of the dog and his wife barking one uncle and one uncle, Du Baifang became even more angry.She also thought that Grandma Liu had been in contact with Jia's mansion in the city before, so she took it into consideration and recruited the servant to give such and such instructions.

Ge Xiangyouxiang didn't know what she wanted to do, she guessed it was not a good thing, so she didn't dare to ask more.Coincidentally, the Double Ninth Festival has arrived in these two days, Zhou Fuxiang took leave from Taixue and returned home, Mrs. Zhou and Master Zhou were overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the servant girl to serve him wholeheartedly.

Zhou Fuxiang lived at home for a day. From Mingyue Danyang and others, he heard that Qiao'er and Qing'er went to work in the embroidery workshop in the town, and got a lot of money. He couldn't help being happy for him, and hurriedly asked the servant to go to the town. To discuss the day with Qiaoer for a while.The boy obediently rushed to Rongjin Hall, where Qiaoer was looking at the order book for the past two days, when he heard that someone was looking for it, he went out suspiciously to have a look, only to see that it was Luer.He smiled and said, "When did the wind bring you here?"

Lu'er greeted him with a smile, and hurriedly told him what envoy Zhou Fuxiang had sent him here. Qiao'er hadn't seen him for many days, thinking that grandma and Brother Ban'er hadn't spoken for a long time, she hurriedly agreed and agreed. I will discuss it in the future.Back in Dicuiyuan, thinking that there was nothing to do in the past two days, I called Qing'er to tell her to pack some things and stay at home for a few days.
