A world of glory

Arriving at the Nuan Pavilion in the east, you can see the glass screen carved with red sandalwood and lacquered in gold, and there is a lattice door carved in wood and painted in gold at the partition. There is a beauty couch outside the Nuan Pavilion. Lacquered and inlaid with mother-of-pearl, there is a sapphire white porcelain vase and a white jade plate of fragrant oranges on the case.A hanging screen with pictures of hydrangeas and begonias is hung on the wall, and daily furniture such as tables and chairs are placed under the hanging screen.Entering the inner room of the warm pavilion, one can see a mahogany carved and lacquered canopy bed in the shape of a moon hole under the southwest window. The bed is hung with a blue satin embroidered wisteria curtain, and the bed is covered with a green satin brocade embroidered with four seasons flowers.On the north side of the canopy bed is a mahogany glass mirror table with flower and butterfly pattern, beside the mirror table is a book case, next to the book table is a screen with a height of one person, and behind the screen is a crabapple-style clothes hanger.To the south of the canopy bed, there is a small mahogany bookcase, next to the bookcase is a tea table, and next to the tea table is another chaise longue chair with a lavender brocade cushion on it.There is also a pavilion-shaped incense burner in the corner behind the coffee table, and the dark fragrance is lingering.Outside the window, the red plum branches are blossoming, poking into the room, and borrowing a few couches, nothing is clean.

Zisu looked at the Nuan Pavilion, and said with a smile, "This room is better than mine." She walked a few steps slowly, entered the inner room, and saw the glazed mirror table, she just pursed her lips and smiled.Peiyu laughed and said, "After messing around for a while, I wrinkled my clothes. I took them off and let the little maid iron them." Zisu smiled and said, "You have some new clothes here, lend me some." I will return it to you some other day." Peiyu said angrily: "If you don't return anything, you will earn a lot of money." Then, she took out a set of lake-colored and light-colored butterfly-patterned dresses from the cabinet, and took another one. A snow-grey satin embroidered multicolored bogu pattern cloak came, and he said with a smile: "A few months ago, the young master rewarded some high-quality fabrics, and I found some free time to make clothes for several sisters. I want to send it to you, but I don’t want you to come by yourself, and let me see it instead.”

Zisu changed into her clothes, the lake-colored fabric suits her even more, demure as water, gentle and pleasant.Facing the mirror, she combed her makeup again, applied rouge and gouache, her skin was like snow, and her red makeup was gorgeous. Only then did Zi Su praise: "It's been a long time since I saw you sewing, but I never thought that your craftsmanship has improved." I put a pile of gauze crabapple flowers on the Zisu hairpin, and said with a smile: "I learned the style of the palace and made these flowers randomly by myself. I wasted a few rolls of fabric, but these few branches are not satisfactory. You just take them with you." Let's play." Just as he was talking, Yizhu changed his clothes and came over.Seeing that Zisu and Peiyu were dressing up, Yizhu also took an ivory comb, trimmed their hair, inserted a glazed pearl walker obliquely, and said with a smile: "I thought about it carefully. Everywhere in the village is very complicated, so there is no need to bother the knitting yard, Sister Zisu went back to Madam, picked up the material for the clothes, and we will do it ourselves."

Peiyu heard this, and said with a smile: "That's good. Among the little maids sent by Qin Nanny a few days ago, there are two little maids who are good at sewing. Let them do it, and you can point it out." Zhu smiled, and said: "That's fine, I'm afraid the little girl's temperament will be unstable, and the time will be delayed." Peiyu opened the drawer, took a gold silk wooden box, handed it to Zisu, and said, "I only have Jasmine here." Dew and rose dew, when the spring comes, I will ask my lord to find other dews and send them to you." Zi Su laughed and said, "I won't say anything else, just keep it in my heart." After receiving the box, he said to the two of them: "I'm going back now, let's come over to play some other day." Peiyu and Yizhu sent Zisu out of the second door and went back into the house.

After entering the room, Yizhu still sat back on Luohan's bed, picked up the embroidery frame, and just immersed himself in embroidery.Peiyu picked up the box on the table, and fiddled with the hidden button on the box. Just as she was fiddled, the brocade felt curtain with fruit green embroidered cloud and crane pattern on the door was lifted up, holding a blue and white bamboo stone plantain pattern in her arms. I came into the house with a square bottle, and there were a few branches of red and white plums in the bottle.Yizhu raised his head and smiled and said, "I waited for half a day, but I didn't see you coming back, but I was lazy to fold flowers." Lanyue put the bottle on the table beside him, and then said with a smile, "I saw that the room is too boring. It just so happened that the plum blossoms in the forest were half in bloom, so I picked a few branches and put them in a vase, and looked more energetic." Peiyu raised her eyes and smiled softly: "It's a coincidence that you came back, I Are you looking for someone to run errands? Just help me." Lanyue took off the big fur cloak on her body, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?" Peiyu opened the box with a fingertip, and suddenly her eyes lit up .Lanyue glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Who sent it? It looks good, but it's worthless water jade." But the box he saw was colorful, full of polished crystal stones.Peiyu laughed and said, "Young Master ordered someone to buy it, and I don't know what it's for?" Then he closed the box again, and said with a smile, "Yesterday I sent some seafood to Brother Wen. Today Wenmo is talking about Wen. It’s good for you, brother, so you can take some more and send them, okay?” Lan Yue said with a smile: “It’s a coincidence, when I came back, the young master asked me to take some Duan inkstones and send them to Mr. Xueli. It was the same. It’s no big deal to drop by and take it along.”

Just talking and laughing, Qin Yi put on a royal blue sable fur cloak and entered the room.Peiyu was busy summoning the maids outside to boil water and make tea, and Lanyue also took a rectangular box with a picture of the Yueyang Tower in red from the cabinet, and went straight out.Seeing Peiyu ordering the maid to make tea, Qin Yi said: "There is still milk in the kitchen, order them to make a soufflé and just serve it up." Peiyu quickly responded, and went to order again.Yizhu got up and came over, untied Qin Yi's cloak, and said with a smile, "Where did Nongyun go, and didn't follow him back?" Qin Yi said with a smile: "I sent her to fetch things." After speaking, Qin Yi looked again Looking at the box on the table, he said with a smile, "But the treasurer of Qiongyuzhai ordered someone to send it." Peiyu carried a teapot with peony pattern wrapped around branches from the official kiln, went into the room, and took a white jade star anise with folded ears. The cup was filled, and he handed it to Qin Yi and said, "This is almond cheese made according to the method in the palace. Let me try it, young master. Do you like it?" Qin Yi took a sip and said with a smile: "The taste is still delicious. Well, it's just that the milky fragrance is too strong."

Another little maid came in with a plate with twining lotus patterns on it. On the plate was a small celadon holding box and a small white-glazed porcelain jar.Peiyu lifted the lid, and saw that in the holding box was a jade dew ball and a small sky cake, and in the small porcelain jar was whitebait soup.Qin Yi used a small bowl of whitebait soup and picked a jade dew ball to use, then stopped the chopsticks and said: "It's cold today, and the dishes will be warm in a short time." Yizhu smiled and said: "Tomorrow let's eat it." The kitchen cooks some dishes that are not easy to get cold." Peiyu said with a smile: "That's not the case, there are rules in the kitchen for delivering meals in winter, and today the little girl must be lazy and forget." Another little girl brought tea in, Qin Yi rinsed his mouth with tea, and then said: "Slow down for dinner, I'll go into the room to sleep for a while." Pei Yufang agreed, and another second-class maid named Qinghan came in to invite her Peiyu went to fetch the gauze that pasted the window.Pei Yufang took the key and went out with Qinghan.

Yizhu waited on Qin Yi and went into the back room, and then called the maid to fetch water, seeing that Qin Yi was asleep, she went out without mentioning it.Qin Yi just washed and washed, lying on the bed and falling into a deep sleep.This sleep lasted till the next watch, when Qin Yi got up tiredly, Peiyu and Lanyue went into the back room, and helped Qin Yi change and wash.Seeing Qin Yi's lack of energy, Lanyue said with a smile: "Just now, Lord Hou ordered someone to reward me with a box of collection ink and a set of Hu brushes." Qin Yi said with a smile: "Put it away according to the rules, but my father saw that my studies are not bad. , It’s just a reward, why am I missing these pens and inks.”

Lanyue reached out to test the temperature of the water in the carved porcelain basin held by the maid, and said with a smile: "It's too cold, add some hot water." In the porcelain basin, some boiling water was added.After Lanyue tried the water temperature again, she nodded and smiled and said, "It's ok." After Qin Yi washed and washed, he thought it was cold, so he said to Peiyu, "The jade ointment I ordered last month is ready. No? Get some here." Peiyu laughed hurriedly, "It's already made." She opened the outer cabinet, took out a gold and jade box, and held it in front of Qin Yi.Qin Yi opened the box with a smile, and saw a dozen or so small porcelain boxes in the box.Qin Yi took out a small round box made of azure glaze, and said with a smile, "How much have you made? How can I see that it will last for a few years?" Peiyu said, "Six boxes have been made, but none of them are in this box." Scented." Qin Yi opened the round box, dipped a little of the pure white ointment on his hands, spread it slowly, and said with a satisfied smile: "Just keep one box, and the rest will follow the old rules. .”

Peiyu said cautiously: "If we follow the example of previous years, we will make one more box this year than last year. Is this an extra box?" Qin Yi smiled indifferently and said, "Let's divide it up." He suddenly remembered What, straight up: "From now on, you will have to make this jade ointment every year, and you should pay attention to it. If other maids ask for it, it doesn't matter if you give it to her. Just a little, and there must be no such dirty things. In my yard , not only the monthly routine is paid out on time, but also every year and festivals. If there is a guy who has no face, imitating the villain in the house, and accepting filial piety, you just need to reply to me and drive him out. That's it, you don't need to look at anyone's face." Lanyue said with a smile: "Don't worry, young master, there is never room for those shameless things in our yard. Even if one or two are sent from the mansion, they will be cured Be well behaved. The lady guarding the door is also changed every day. According to the rules set by the young master, if you are greedy for those few respects, you will lose the cold melon and pick up the sesame seeds. Unless your brain is burnt out, no one will So confused?"
