Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Shen Yi laughed and said: "You envy him, but you don't know that he envies you even more. If you like this kind of pastoral life, you can exchange it with him. Would you like it?"

Jiang Yan quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I don't know how to herd cattle and collect firewood."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

After a short walk, I came to a village, and there were many businessmen sitting under the big locust tree by the roadside, all resting under the shade of the tree.

Seeing that Jia Lan and his party were dressed in beautiful clothes and with extraordinary bearing, the country people regarded them as something rare. They stood on the side of the road with their men and women in their arms to watch them, and talked about them one after another.

Zhang San, the long follower beside Shen Yi, stepped forward and asked: "Master, if you don't want to rest for a while, the animals just eat some grass to rest."

Jiang Yan didn't like being surrounded by people, so he looked around and saw a small slope not far away, and said: "I see that the scenery on the hillside in front of me is good, and it just hits a sharp point."

Shen Yi saw that Jia Lan's face was slightly red, and there was a little sweat on his forehead, worried that he was too young to be too tired, so he nodded and said, "Well, let's take a rest before leaving."

Everyone rode their horses to the slope to rest and sharpen, another leader followed Zhang Si and took off the horse's burden, spread a mat under the big tree, and invited Shen Yi and the others to sit down.

Jia Lan wiped off his sweat and sat down against the roots of the tree, only to realize that the hillside was facing the river, and the breeze carried the coolness of the river, making him feel cool.

Gu Zhan handed him a water bag and said with a smile, "Let's drink some water first."

Jia Lan thanked him, took a sip of the water bag, and said, "Senior Brother, how far is it?"

Gu Zhan said: "It's not far, just walk four or five miles and we'll be there."

Jia Lan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. According to their current pace, it would take them three or four miles to arrive in a quarter of an hour at most.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan squeezed his eyes, and said with a grin, "Is your thigh sore? Don't scratch your skin. Why don't you sit and I'll come right away?"

Jia Lan blushed slightly, but refused to admit defeat, saying: "It's just a little sour, it's okay."

Seeing his expression, Shen Yi knew what his little apprentice was thinking, smiled and rubbed his little head, and said: "You are still young, and you have been riding a horse for half a day. Today is just for you to practice. It’s too late, I’ll take you the rest of the way, and ask Xiao Yao’er to rub it with medicinal wine at night, otherwise you won’t even be able to walk when you wake up tomorrow morning.”

Jia Lan blushed and agreed.

While talking, all the elders and the young servants have put out the spring boxes of fruits and vegetables they brought, and the masters, disciples, uncles and nephews drank together, feeling very happy.

Zhangsan and Lisi unsaddled the animals and let them go green, and they followed the boys each.

Go to eat and rest, wander around, sit and lie down.

After two mouthfuls of food and wine, Shen Yi said with a smile: "The scenery here is good, and there are all the materials for poetry. Let's write a poem."

While talking, I suddenly saw a woman coming from the opposite side under the shade of the willow, about thirty years old, with emerald curls on the black cloud bun, face full of makeup, wearing a moonlight satin shirt, red sleeves and a single skirt, full of blue satin. With embroidered palace shoes, a red scarf tied around his waist, and a bundle in his hand, he walked slowly along the willow embankment.

Followed by a fat man in his forties, wearing a fragrant silk robe, holding a two or three-year-old child in his left hand, red shirt and embroidered pants, white and fat, cute, and holding a three-foot-long silver French blue hair in his right hand. An ebony pipe with a thin mouth and a big red purse.

Seeing that Jia Lan and his party were outstanding in appearance and luxuriously dressed, the woman kept looking at them.

When he saw Shen Yi standing tall and tall, wearing a blue gauze narrow-sleeved single shirt, tied with a three-inch wide jade belt, wearing a pair of thin-soled satin boots, holding a folding fan, looking elegant, his face blushed immediately, and he stared blankly.

Everyone found it funny, even the three Jialan brothers couldn't help snickering.

Because of Shen Yi's natural and unrestrained nature, he never sticks to common etiquette, Jiang Yan and others are very close to him, and they are not big or small in private.

At that moment, Jiang Yan snickered and said to Shen Yi: "I heard that Uncle Shi is suave and suave, and he has fascinated countless women in Beijing. Today, it seems that his style is still the same as before."

Gu Zhan and Jia Lan couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed out loud.

Shen Yi was not angry either, he took a fan and knocked Jiang Yan's head, and scolded with a smile: "You bastard, make fun of me."

As soon as the words were finished, there was an "ouch" sound, Gu Zhan and the others looked up and were startled.

It turned out that the woman was fascinated by watching, and the man also looked at it, accidentally stumbled over a tree root, fell down, pressed a child on top of him, and the cigarette pipe broke in three pieces.

The woman was so angry that she didn't care about looking at the handsome man, she waved her hand and slapped the man's face a few times.

Seeing the child's head bruised and face swollen, crying to death, he couldn't help it, and bit the man's face a few more times, and beat it on the head like a wooden fish with a broken cigarette pipe.

The man knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Jiang Yan and the others couldn't help laughing out loud.

Shen Yi didn't expect to cause such an accident, so he couldn't help but put his fist to his lips and coughed twice.

Gu Zhan smiled and said: "This is not a poem, but a joke in a drama."

Everyone laughed again.

After a while, the woman's anger subsided, and she twisted the man's ear and left.

Jiang Yan laughed again, and couldn't help but said: "This man is really useless, a man is a man, but he is taken by himself.

The mother-in-law was so helpless to fight back. "

Jia Lan said: "Women are not as strong as men, so there is no way they can't beat them. I think that man is just giving way on purpose."

Gu Zhan also nodded and said: "The so-called fear of internal affairs is just that the husband loves his wife."

Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard the words: "In this way, second brother, you will also be afraid of guilt in the future? If you feel so touched, are you in a hurry to marry a wife?"

Gu Zhan is only [-] years old this year, and he still doesn't understand human affairs. He just thought of his parents and expressed his feelings for a while. Who would have thought that Jiang Yan would say such a joke. No matter how stable and mature he is, he is still just a The half-grown boy couldn't help blushing when he heard the words, and said in embarrassment: "I never thought about it, but cousin, you are already fifteen, and you think you are in a hurry to find a sister-in-law?"

Jiang Yan laughed loudly, and said: "Your sister-in-law doesn't have a shadow yet, it's a pity that you are not a girl, otherwise you would have been the one who married my fingertips back then."

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Shen Yi also found it funny, and seeing Gu Zhan's face flushed, he said with a smile: "You boys are only so old, you just want to marry a wife, stop messing around, get on your horse and drive on the road, if you drag on for a while, it will be dark .”

While talking, everyone packed up their things and got on their horses. After traveling for four or five miles, they arrived at the entrance of the village of Yiyuan. There are only fifty or sixty families in this village, most of them are tenants of the village.

After exiting the entrance of the West Village, one can see boundless pale yellow new willows in the distance, and there is a whitewashed wall exposed in the woods.As he approached, he saw a small stream between the willow trees on both banks.

After crossing the bridge, there is a driveway made of tiger skin stones, which leads to a gate facing east. On the gate is a horizontal plaque inlaid with white marble, engraved with two big characters of "Yiyuan" written by Shen Yi himself.

After entering the gate, there are dirt hills on both sides, and there are many forests on it, and he fruit trees cannot be recognized.From the mountain Huoli, I can see a big water in the southwest.

At this time, there was a young servant flying a horse to report the news, so just after passing the mountain pass, the butler of the village brought people to meet Banqiao, greeted Shen Yi in front of the horse, and greeted Gu Zhan, Jialan and others, and spread the word went.

Let’s say that Gu Zhan and others rode horses across the three-fold red board bridge, and it was a building facing east. It was the first time for Jia Lan to come here. To the west is the Moon Cave Gate, which is the road leading to the garden, and to the north is the Hanging Flower Gate. There are five large halls inside, and the decoration and furnishings need not be elaborated.

Go out of the hanging flower door and go to the opposite gallery.Entering the inside, there is a row of twelve connected houses facing the water, with vermilion railings in front, and twists and turns inside.Tables, chairs, bed stools decorated with asparagus bamboo, and some small furnishings.

After leaving the main courtyard, just after arriving at the Moon Cave Gate, there was a sweet fragrance. It turned out that there were five big osmanthus trees in the courtyard, which almost covered the whole courtyard. Ground broken gold.

Seeing the rustling red osmanthus and the shaded green leaves, Jia Lan couldn't help praising: "Interesting!"

Shen Yi said with a smile: "Naturally, it's interesting, this is exactly 'Spray the fragrance, the sweet-scented osmanthus is just blooming!'"

Talking and laughing, everyone followed Shen Yi into a cave, it was a winding mountain road, and when it reached the top, it was flat.

Surrounded by jade railings, with a gravel road in the middle, there is an old strange pine tree with curly branches on the east, two osmanthus trees blooming under it, and five-color budding camellias are all on the west.

There are several crabapple, pear, and apricot plants blooming under the back eaves. Looking north, there are rice fields and several thatched houses surrounded by fences.On the northwest corner, there is a green shade.

Shen Yi pointed and said: "That is my house." It turns out that Shen Yi's daily living, sitting and sleeping is in the study, not in the main courtyard.

While talking, he slowly turned down the winding road. It turned out that there was a bamboo forest behind the mountain. Going out along the narrow path, there was a grass pavilion in the north, and a few pieces of Taihu Lake stones leaned on a few stalks of bamboo.

After crossing the small bridge, only the sound of water can be heard, facing a small courtyard with green bamboo and flower curtains, and four regular scripts of "Xiaoxiangxuehai" inlaid on the door.

There are no miscellaneous trees in the courtyard, but twenty or thirty plum trees.There are five small study rooms, three bright and two dark, and the west room is hung with fragrant soft curtains.

Jia Lan knew it was Shen Yi's bedroom, and it was inconvenient to go in, so she said with a smile: "Sir, let's have a rest, I'll go wandering around again."

Shen Yi nodded and said: "Forget it, you can go shopping by yourself, and live wherever you like." After speaking, he said to Jiang Yan and Gu Zhan: "Lan'er is here for the first time, show him around, choose a house and go Tell the housekeeper to clean up."

Jiang Yan and Gu Zhan agreed, and immediately took Jia Lan out of the study.

The three of them crossed the zigzag bridge from the north along the willow embankment, and came to a pavilion. When they walked up the steps, they found five open halls with corridors on all sides.The couplets on the bright pillars are in green characters on a pink ground, which reads: All things are contented to watch quietly, and the four seasons are the same as people.

In the open hall, there are all kinds of fine craftsmanship of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and lotus flowers are full of windows on both sides.

The three brothers looked at it for a while, crossed the bridge, turned south and turned east, and in front of Fuchun Pavilion, there were sparse forests, trees, and thousands of peonies, which were just clumps of green leaves.

Walking down the pavilion, walk along the corridor and pass through the peach forest and bamboo path. There are many mountains, green scorpions and ancient vines. There are more than ten bamboo fences and grass houses inside, which are elegant and clean.

Xiaozhao Pingshan, old pine and bamboo, blooming flowers all the year round, it has the scene of a hundred-year-old Changchun.

The three of them played for a while, then left on the same road and went east all the way to Linglong Pavilion, the main room.

Five rooms, more than ten rooms on the left and right, with all kinds of flowers and fruits in front of them.

To the east is a small hut, with steps built of green hills and stones, and under the steps is a hollow old willow, whose filaments hang straight to the water, floating with the waves.

The swimming fish pond is elegantly decorated, with a few peach and apricot plants interspersed, shaded windows, verandahs on both sides, and winding railings.

Walking along the Baosha to the back porch, there is a bamboo forest, two large plantain trees with eaves, and thirty or forty pots of begonias under the porch, red and white, and the flowers are brilliant.

Entering the house, there are no partitions between the three main rooms, front and rear corridors, with gauze drawers on both sides, a few tables and chairs, shelves full of books, toothpicks and jade scrolls.

When Jia Lan saw the collection of books, he couldn't walk, and said, "This yard is very good."

Jiang Yan and Gu Zhan looked at each other, laughed and said, "We made a bet before that you would like this place, it's really good."

Gu Zhansi and Jia Lan were young, a little worried that he lived alone, so he said with a smile: "There are so many houses in this yard, let's live in one, and it will be convenient for us to take care of them."

Jiang Yan always likes to be lively, so he has no objection.

After walking around for a while, Gu Zhan glanced at the sky and said, "Let's go back, it's a long walk, don't make them anxious."

Jia Lan nodded, and followed the two back to the main courtyard.

Since then, Jia Lan has lived in the manor, studying poetry with Shen Yi, practicing riding and shooting, or going to the farm at the foot of the mountain every day, living a very comfortable life.

When the grass withered and the beasts were fattening, Shen Yi happened to be in the mood to lead Jiang Yan and Gu Zhan, along with Zhang San, Li Si, and some strong Zhuang Ding, with bows and arrows, to hunt on the nearby mountains.

Although Jia Lan is the youngest, she is not weak in strength. She is very accurate in archery and has hunted several hares and pheasants. Since then, she has become more courageous and often chases rabbits and geese with a small bow on her back.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch, but Li Wan couldn't help feeling a little worried when he said that Jia Lan had gone to the village with Shen Yi.

In the early morning of this day, Li Wan sent some clothes and some fresh food to the manor, and was planning to go to Mrs. Wang's room to pay her respects, and didn't want to meet the wet nurse holding the eldest sister out for a stroll on the way.

Li Wan couldn't help stopping, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, do you still remember Madam?"

The wet nurse hugged the elder sister and walked up to Li Wan, and said with a smile, "May you be well."

The elder sister's two short legs were slightly bent, and her two small hands supported Li Wan's knees, and she said in a childish voice, "An'an, An'an."

Li Wan was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Good boy, there are a bunch of children here. Get up quickly! The aunt hugged me!"

hug. "

The wet nurse quickly picked it up and handed it to Li Wan's arms.

The eldest sister hugged Li Wan's face with both hands, she was so affectionate, she pouted and kissed Li Wan's face, which made Li Wan's face drool.

The mothers-in-law and maids on the side couldn't help laughing, "If my sister kisses me twice more, grandma won't have to wash her face today."

Danju suppressed a smile and stepped forward, wiping Li Wan's face with a handkerchief.

Li Wan also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he nodded at the little guy's white and tender face, and said with a smile: "Did you learn this trick from your mother?"

As soon as the words finished, a laughing voice said: "I didn't teach this. My girl has never loved anyone. Sister-in-law, you are the first one."
