Across the Red Mansion: Qingwen Upgrade Road

Qingwen happily took Fu Jing's hand, "Brother, I like this place, let's buy this." Li Chunming and others also like it, and it will definitely be a good place to clean up at that time.On the same day, I found Ren Yazi to transfer the account, and after going through the formalities, Zhuangzi came under Qingwen's name.Qingwen was happy with the land deed, and pulled everyone to name Zhuangzi.Li Jinxuan is currently preparing for the scientific examination. Qingwen eliminated Li Jinxuan's slave collection the year before last, and he will be able to participate in the scientific examination in Jinling next year.He is full of poems and books, and it is easy to name him, but it is a bit difficult for him to name him Zhuangzi.

Qingwen thought about it for a long time, and felt that neither was good. The two teenagers with choice disorder were in a dilemma.In the end, Fu Jing said, "Sister, I read that the legendary fairy islands are called Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. Let's call them that too. The fairy island is the place where blessings are gathered, and our Zhuangzi is also the place of blessing." Qingwen He patted his forehead happily, "That's good, our base is called Penglai." Li Jinxuan looked at the excited family speechlessly, and sighed. , It's really embarrassing for scholars.

Qingwen's yard was also built in a quadrangle style, with only two entrances, so the brothers and sisters didn't have much space to live in. However, each room has a large space to ensure enough lighting, and the outside looks very bright.Various fruit trees are planted in the yard, and there are four grape stands, and morning glories and roses are climbing on the wall, and the growth is gratifying.The ground is sprinkled with lime, paved with blue bricks, and the path built with cobblestones in the middle only leaves room for green plants, but they are surrounded by beautiful pebbles to make the yard clean and comfortable.After reading a lot of Japanese comics, Qingwen likes cherry blossom trees the most, so she asked someone to plant two rows of cherry blossom trees beside the walkway in the yard, even on the way into Zhuangzi.A tall stone gate stands in front of the village, and the word Penglai in regular script is engraved on it. The little Zhuangzi is actually a bit serious.

It was already Chinese New Year when Qingwen moved into the new courtyard, but she was very happy.There is a carp pond in the front yard, the newly planted lotus, and the red carp fry will see results next year.The whole family was happily preparing for the new year. Qingwen prepared fruits picked from the mountains, carp and lotus root from her own pond, new winter clothes and a few new-style snacks, and went to the Lin Mansion to deliver the New Year gifts in person.Daiyu waited for nearly half a year before seeing Qingwen, her eyes were red for a while, and she turned her body away from Qingwen.Qingwen looked at the mood of Daiyu's little daughter, smiled and persuaded her: "You, you are still so childish after one year older. Well, it's my fault, I shouldn't stop seeing you, it doesn't bring A few snacks are here to make amends, if you have a lot of them, don't ignore me."

Nanny Liang and Nanny Chen both smiled as they watched Daiyu hold Qingwen tightly, talking about the benefits of the past few days, and also mentioned that housekeeper Lin had already found a yard, and they were just waiting for Qingwen to see if she was satisfied.Qingwen didn't expect to find Haoyuanzi so quickly in this capital where every inch of land is expensive, so she went to have a look today.Daiyu didn't want to be separated, so she wanted to go together.Butler Lin arranged for people to follow Daiyu to the second house on Ping'an Street.Ren Yazi opened the door, and Qingwen and Fu Jing walked around every room, very satisfied. This is considered to have a home in the capital, with more than a dozen rooms, a large kitchen, a large yard, and merchants around. Law and order is very good.Fu Jing likes this place. In the future, he can set up a shop or open a small stall on the street. It is convenient and safe to be close to home.The two looked at Butler Lin with satisfaction, and the butler knew what it meant. "Brother Fu, this yard costs 5000 taels. This man Yazi is familiar with our family, so it only costs 4000 taels. Our mansion bought this yard and gave it to the two of you. It can be regarded as a New Year's gift from our mansion."

Fu Jing and Qingwen didn't agree, but Lin Butler said that the old man ordered it, and if he didn't accept it, he would feel that it was too little. Fu Jing had no choice but to thank him.Lin Wen liked the simplicity and kindness of these two children very much. There would be no harm in dating such people, not to mention the great kindness to the young lady.

A large cart was prepared for the New Year's gift, and Qingwen took home rice, pork and other ingredients.Qingwen invited Daiyu to play in her own Zhuangzi after the Chinese New Year, and said that the newly bought Zhuangzi was still under construction, and wanted Daiyu to give her some ideas, so that she could live in the yard she designed. .Butler Lin and the two nuns always knew that Qingwen was the most clever, and they had never thought of such a way before.Daiyu said pleasantly: "Is it really possible? You are not allowed to deceive me."

Qingwen nodded, "Of course it's true. I also want to build myself a bamboo house. How nice it is to fall asleep smelling the fragrance of bamboo."Butler Lin said with a smile: "Girl, Miss Fu should go back sooner. If you talk about it, it will be dark."

Only then did Daiyu remember that Qingwen was going home, so she was reluctant to hold Qingwen's hand, "Then I'll send you the blueprint after I've made up my mind, and we'll go to your house to have a look when father comes. "Qingwen nodded naturally, "If Mr. Lin came this time, he wouldn't leave, would he? Are you going to come to Beijing to report on your work?"

Daiyu said cheerfully, "Father said it's already settled, so I'll work in the Ministry of Rites." Qingwen smiled and patted Daiyu's hand, and followed Lin Butler to the door.It wasn't until dark that Qingwen and Fu Jing arrived home. Erdan and Shitou ran out and held Qingwen's hand each, and said like a little adult, "It's getting late, sister, is the journey going well?"

Fu Jing rubbed their heads hard, grabbed a handful of candies and gave them them, "Go and play, will you check the back of the book later?" Shito ran away with Er Dan.The New Year is coming soon, deep-fried fried fruit, wine-flavored peanuts, rice cakes, meatballs, all the famous dishes of the four major cuisines were brought out by Qingwen with a family of women. Being chased by the children on the surrounding Zhuangzi, just to taste the food in their hands.A group of mothers were so teased by their children's stupidity that they went to Penglai Village in gangs with noodles, rice, pork, pots and pans.Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and I'm done with all the busy work, just waiting for tonight's dumplings to be made.He was pulling Mrs. Wang to sit under the warm sun in the early morning, talking and embroidering flowers, and pointing out Da Ya and Da Mei to embroider by the way.I only heard the noise of people outside, and before I stood up to see what was going on, I saw a large group of boys and girls in new clothes crowded in with small basins and large bowls, shouting at the top of their voices Said: "Hello aunt, hello sister, hello Xin."

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang laughed and asked the little girls to entertain the group of young guests with fruits and peanuts, but the children didn’t want to eat them, and said in unison: “Mother, we will come to celebrate the New Year tomorrow. Learn crafts." Da Ya teased a chubby three-year-old boy, "Craftsmanship? What kind of crafts do you little Douding learn? Do you want to learn embroidery from your sister?"

The little fat man has a lot of small eyes, shaking the little mouse tail on the back of his head, and said in a childlike voice: "I am a man, how can I learn to embroider? I am here to learn how to make dim sum. When I learn it, I will ask my mother to do it." Give it to me, and I won’t come to your house to ask for it again.”

Mrs. Zhou and others realized that a group of children came to learn how to cook. A group of women from behind arrived at this time, surrounded Zhou and others and said, "Aren't they here to learn how to eat? It's not that they didn't cook at home, it's just the same. The meatballs are not as fragrant as yours. There are lotus root, lotus jujube cake, apple pie, etc. We have never heard of it. The kid at home keeps repeating it every day, so I can only beg you with a thick skin. You have to teach us, otherwise, this New Year will not be a good one." The women in the countryside are straightforward, and they put forward any requests directly.The Zhou family and the Wang family were also the servants of everyone before. After years of training, they are now willing to deal with these simple people who deal with the world, so they have been friendly with the people in the surrounding Zhuangzi after they came here.

Mrs. Zhou pulled Xiaobao's mother who was talking to her, "Why would I refuse to pay you if you say that, but you don't know that our master taught these foods, and I'm just learning superficially." Xiaobao's mother's name Sun, on weekdays, likes to hang out with Mrs. Zhou the most. Hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and said, "Your master? Your master is back?" Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Zhou nodded, and said with joy, "Yes. No, I came back early. Didn’t you see that the appearance of our Zhuangzi has changed? And the gatehouse, if the masters don’t come back, we wouldn’t dare to do this.” His tone was full of pride, his own Zhuangzi is now here In one scene, whoever passes by doesn't take a second look. This is all on the master's mind, and a slave has no shame.
