Chapter 239: reunion
??Chapter 239 Gathering
??Here, the children of non-wealthy people are not allowed to enter. Those who have no status must be accompanied by someone with status to enter.
??But if you get the Youlan post, even a beggar will be entertained if you come to the door.
??On weekdays, everyone in charge of Youlan Residence is Xu Peiyun. She is unrivaled in the world in chess. I heard that the emperor comes here from time to time to play chess with her.
?? Xie’s carriage crawled on Xihuamen Street for two cups of tea before being ushered into Youlan Residence.
After getting off the car, there is a shadow wall made of rockery. The rockery like a flying phoenix is ??covered with moss and green moss, and a few thin ivy vines are wrapped around it, creating a vitality even in this winter. .
Bypassing the screen wall, a heat wave rushed in, the sun shone in through the glazed tiles above the head, the ground was steaming, and the hot spring water from Xiefang Garden flowed along the channels piled up in the rockery, setting off the heated greenhouses. Like a fairyland.
?? "Girl, this way please!" The maid wearing a pink palace dress led the way in front, leading Xie Zhiwei and others into the west building.
??There are three floors in the east and west floors, and the first floor is facing the street. On weekdays, some ordinary tea guests are entertained, but if you want to go to the second and third floors, you must enter the courtyard and go up the stairs on the left and right sides of the courtyard.
??It is said to be a building, but it is actually a bit like a pavilion, except that it is different from the pavilion in that there are two doors and windows on all sides.
There are calligraphy and painting competitions held by girls all year round on the walls of the second floor. The second floor is usually called the Pingmo Pavilion, while the third floor focuses on chess and piano, so it is also called Liuxiang Pavilion. , Scholars are used to burning incense.
?? Today, the eldest daughter of the Xue family spent a lot of money, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Youlan Club today to release the Xue family's Xiangyun paper. The girls first stopped on the second floor for a short time.
All the doors on the second floor are open with brocade grids and wooden grids. Because the sun is sunny in winter, there are many ladies sitting in small groups on the edge of the stools and railings. By the door, at the corner of the railing, and in the corner of the house A few pots of fashionable flowers and plants are dotted as you like. In the center of the smooth polished green floor tiles, there is a Xuande stove. Chicken tongue incense is burned in the stove. The fragrance is rich and refreshing, which makes people feel refreshed.
??The layout of Youlan Residence is always so ingenious, noble and elegant, and the inheritance of so many years seems to have never been interrupted.
?? In the previous life, Xie Zhiwei was a frequent visitor to the Youlan Club.
?? "Sister Wei, come here!"
Xie Zhiwei looked around, Zhang Qinghan had already waved to her before she recognized everyone, she, Cao Yunhua, Zeng Yaoqi and Zheng Jingshuang occupied the railing to the south, next to the coffee table were placed Ru Kiln teacups and ten Jin Xiaochahang, which is brewed with high-quality famous tea.
?? "Sister Wei is here, hello to the sisters of the Xie family!" Several people stood up and greeted Xie Zhihui, Xie Zhiqian and Xie Zhiying.
?? "Hello, sisters!"
??After meeting each other, Zeng Yaoqi asked the pink-clothed maids to put up a few embroidered piers, and they formed a circle around each other, drinking tea and talking at the same time.
The three Xie Zhihui sisters were not familiar with Zeng Yaoqi and others, and because the princess Zheng Jingshuang was there, they were a little cautious for a while, but seeing their eldest sister chatting happily with them, the conversation was not about some uncommon topics, but The fragrance of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as how to make all kinds of dim sum, how to draw flowers to look good, and so on, and soon the three little girls were able to talk with them.
The daughter of the Xie family is not badly educated. When it comes to making incense, even Xie Zhiying talks eloquently. When talking about the chicken tongue incense burning inside, Xie Zhiying said, "If the flowers of the chicken tongue incense tree are shaped like plum blossoms, , the fruit is like a jujube stone, this is a female tree, and cannot be used as a spice, the male tree only blooms, but does not bear fruit, and its flowers are brewed to make fragrance."
??Zheng Jingshuang was taken aback, "Isn't it true that this chicken tongue tree is actually divided into male and female?"
"Naturally!" Xie Zhiying said confidently, "Chicken Tongue Xiang, also known as clove, is an ancient spice, named for its shape like a nail and strong fragrance. Commonly used to make spices are male clove buds, The dried fruit of the female clove is also used as a spice, although it is not as elegant and persistent as the male clove."
?? Zeng Yaoqi exclaimed, "Miss Xie Si, you are really amazing, you can be regarded as erudite and talented."
??Xie Zhiying flushed with shame, glanced at the slightly smiling Xie Zhiwei, and said, "These are all from the "Xiangdian" I borrowed from my big sister."
?? Xie Zhi smiled and said, "Don't praise her, she can't bear to be praised as a child, and when she turned around, she really thought that she was the number one scholar, and she refused to work hard. Grandpa knows, and it's going to be my fault."
?? "My eldest sister is the best. There are many things I don't understand here. I only found out after asking my elder sister." Xie Zhiying said that Xie Zhiwei's eyes lit up.
"Don't mention your big sister to me. I'll tell you that if your big sister is going to take the No. 1 Scholar exam, maybe those students have nothing to do with her. Her head is full of seeds. I don't know how she can hold so many things." Zhang Qinghan laughed road.
Just as he was talking, a voice came up, "Ms. Xue, you launched Xiangyun Notes here today. I wonder if you have invited Miss Xie? If Miss Xie gives you a compliment, your Xiangyun Notes will definitely be able to sell away!"
?? This voice was unfamiliar to Xie Zhiwei, she sat quietly and did not move.
Someone came up from the corridor, and when they heard it, they sneered, "Xie Zhiwei? What does this matter have anything to do with her, Xie Zhiwei? A person who blinds his grandmother and can't tolerate his relatives is just a vicious person even if he is very talented. , this kind of person, I am ashamed to be with her."
??The voice was very loud, and the words were extremely mean, which immediately overwhelmed the voices of all the girls. Almost everyone on the second floor heard it. They all found it incredible and followed the sound.
The people who climbed up the stairs quickly came into everyone's sight. Xie Zhiwei was facing her, and he could see clearly that the girl was wearing a pink bright satin round collar embroidered with peony roses, a pink cloak on the outside, and a pleated cloak underneath. Ruyi moon skirt, skin like snow, a pair of red and phoenix triangle eyes under the hanging eyebrows, a layer of rouge on the thin lips, red and mean.
?? Several girls followed behind her, and they came up together holding their skirts.
?? "Huihe, you are talking nonsense. There is no basis for this kind of talk. Can you talk nonsense?" Zheng Jingshuang stood up abruptly, walked into the hall, and glared at him.
??The person who came was the county magistrate Huihe, followed by Xue Wanshuang and a few other girls. Looking towards Zheng Jingshuang, she naturally saw Xie Zhiwei who was sitting still, with a slightly embarrassed expression on her face.
?? "Did I say something wrong?" Hui He glanced at Xie Zhiwei provocatively, "Let Miss Xie tell me, which sentence did the county lord say wrong?"
?? The first update!
