Return of the Swallow

Shuorenzhai sits facing south, with its back against the sea of ​​​​flowers and facing the bamboo garden. The emerald-painted Ruyi door is hidden behind the bamboo forest path. Before entering the courtyard, you feel quiet and comfortable.

A group of people pushed the door and entered, and what they saw was also a bamboo forest. Walking straight along the bluestone-paved path, it was the attic of Shuorenzhai with five rooms wide and two stories high. , directly connected to the inverted room.

"It really is the place where the eldest master once lived. Just looking at the tranquility of the scenery, it is extraordinary." Madam Zhan couldn't help but exclaim: "There is such a place in the palace, but it is not for people to live in, just It is used by the nobles for their day trips."

"The palaces in the palace are splendid, and the nobles are just looking for a wild interest in such attics." Qin Yining would not dare to compare his own house with the palace.

Madam Zhan nodded approvingly.

It was already dark, and someone under the corridor lit the lamp. Because Qin Huaiyuan had ordered, someone had already cleaned the entire courtyard. Therefore, Qin Yining had seen the upstairs and downstairs before assigning the residence.

The messenger's little girls live in the inverted seat, Qin Yining's boudoir is in the middle of the second floor, the first room on the left lives with Zhan Mama, the second room lives in Yaoqin and Yuqi, and the first room on the right lives in Bingtang , Songlan and Qiulu, and the second room is arranged for Mother Zhu and Liuya.

The layout of the first floor is much brighter. There are two aquarium-shaped floor-to-ceiling covers on the left and right sides of the main hall, which separate the five rooms of their own use.

The new light green gauze tent on the floor covering had just been put on. The house is fully furnished, and there is a red coral bonsai on the Duobao Pavilion, which looks graceful and rich.

Qin Yining instructed someone to take a look at the registered booklet, and then handed it to Qiu Lu with a smile, while walking towards the study room at the innermost east side, he said, "I'll leave the warehouse to you in the future."

Qiu Lu took it and nodded: "Don't worry, girl, I keep the keys close to my body."

The study is very spacious, with a large mahogany painting table in the middle of the floor. A large number of pens of various types are inserted into a blue-and-white porcelain pen holder on the painting table, some of which are still bald. A simple Duan inkstone is placed in the corner of the painting table, and most of the ink sticks on it have been worn away. The clean water in the white porcelain pen wash should have only been added. There are still some scrolls inserted in the porcelain vat on the ground, which is Qin Huaiyuan's old work.

Qin Yining sat on the round chair with thick mattress behind the painting, leaning against the full of bookshelves that went straight to the ceiling, took a deep breath, and said with a smile:

"The strange old lady said to let me dye the fragrance of books and ink. There really is a fragrance of books here."

Bingtang nodded and pointed to the half-used ink: "This ink is fragrant. There are also mint fragrant tablets in the charcoal basin."

Qin Yining was stunned for a moment, and said with admiration, "Your nose is really smart."

Bingtang said proudly: "I have been practicing since I was a child. Some herbs are mixed in the medicine, and I can smell it."

Qin Yining nodded and sighed: "I live in a big house, how can I do without a skill. I should also learn from my husband."

He said to Yaoqin again: "I just saw a guqin hanging on the wall in Xicijian. Sister Yaoqin is a good player. I still want to take you as my teacher."

Yaoqin said with a smile, "If the girl likes the little tricks of the slave and maid, enlightenment is okay."

"My sister's piano skills are outstanding, so don't be humble." Qin Yining looked at Yuqi again: "And playing chess, I am a complete layman, and I asked sister Yuqi to enlighten me."

"Girls love, slaves must do their best." Yuqi happily responded.

Arranged what to do next,

Qin Yining asked everyone to take a break.

Qin Yining went back to the bedroom, sat in front of the make-up bed, removed her hair, washed her face evenly under the service of Song Lan, and changed into a bedclothes to lie down.

"It's really tiring after a day of tossing, it's even more tiring than I am hunting."

Today is Songlan's last night. She spread the quilt on the Luohan bed outside by the window, leaving only a lamp. She wore a small jacket with loose hair to lay down the light purple veil for Qin Yining.

"Girl won a big victory today, it's no different from fighting a battle, can you not get tired?" Song Lan is now full of gratitude and admiration for Qin Yining, and her tone is much more docile and respectful than before.

Qin Yining covered his mouth and yawned, wrapped in the quilt and slept on his side in a small ball of warm and fragrant nephrite, and muttered, "Songlan, you should go to bed soon, your injury is not yet healed."

Song Lan said with a smile across the tent, "Yes, the slaves are guarding the girl, the girl should sleep."

**

Since Qin Yining moved to Shuorenzhai, his life has become even more hectic. In addition to giving the old lady and Mrs. Sun every morning and evening, she will learn the rules with her sisters in the morning, and she will study with Xixi in the afternoon. When she came down, she had to practice writing big characters, learn to play the piano and play chess with Yaoqin and Yuqi, and learn needlework with Songlan and Bingtang.

Although busy, Qin Yining was very happy.

She used to be so busy with her livelihood that she should snicker when she was full, so how could she have time to study these things?

Now she can live without food and clothing, she is reluctant to let down the time, and she has turned herself into a top. She used to remember it, but it is easy to learn if she pays attention. In just one and a half months, she has made great progress. .

Seeing Qin Yining working so hard, Mammy Zhan, as a bystander, would be moved by her positive attitude and couldn't help but teach her more in private. Qin Yining benefited a lot and was very grateful to Mammy Zhan.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Laba.

Qin Yining woke up early, and was pressed by rock sugar to apply some white ointment with a medicinal fragrance to her face, and then applied a light green ointment to remove scars on the palms and backs of her hands, and told her to lie down for a quarter of an hour before washing her face. .

Bingtang said: "The scar on the girl's hand is almost healed, and it is enough to keep moisturizing the hand with retting."

Qin Yining was lying on the couch of the imperial concubine, closed his eyes and moved his mouth slightly: "I also feel that the skin on my hands has become tender. Before the skin was rough and thick, it might not hurt to be pricked by a needle. I learned from Songlan last night. The needle was stabbed inadvertently, and I could feel it without bleeding."

Song Lan and Qiu Lu came in with hot water and Jinpa, and they all laughed when they heard the words: "The girl still said that she has rough skin and thick flesh? Now your skin is as tender as tofu, and the wealth around Miss Hui Ning was still quiet yesterday. Ask us, and tell me what the girls use to level the dough."

Bingtang smiled and said, "How did the elder sister answer?"

Song Lan said: "I said, what the girl uses is the roses that are given by Gongzhong every month. The girl is the daughter of the master, and after following the master, the natural beauty is inevitable, and you can eat it after returning home. Live well, and your skin will naturally look good.”

Bingtang nodded: "Yes, I won't tell them, they don't have good intentions for the girl. Miss Huining went to the Sydney courtyard and didn't learn to be safe."

Qin Yining was thoughtful. After a quarter of an hour, he washed his hands and face with lukewarm water, and after rubbing his face, Qin Yining said to Bingtang, "It's a pity that you only use your skill on me. You have Have you ever thought about selling the cream you prepared for removing scars and moisturizing?"

Bingtang was stunned for a moment, then blinked and said, "I don't want to spread my craftsmanship."

"You only make medicine, or you can change the prescription slightly to weaken its efficacy. If you use three boxes of scars that can be cured with one box, people outside will rush to buy them. Now the national situation is turbulent, and we will not know in the future. What will happen, you always have money to be safe. Although I have money, I will not leave you, but you have a special status after all, and you have to take precautions. "

Bingtang thought for a while, then nodded cautiously: "I know the girl is all for me. I'll think about it."

"Don't be in a hurry. If you have the heart to do this small business, I will ask the shopkeeper Zhong Da to contact you. You can just prepare the ointment with peace of mind. In fact, you can not only make the ointment, but you can also remove scars and beautify the skin. The ingredients of it are mixed in the face rub or rouge. It is natural for women to love beauty, and they don't have to be rubbed to get results, but they can take effect slowly. There will be a lot of ladies and ladies in Beijing who are willing to use it. silver."

Song Lan and Qiu Lu both nodded, pulled the rock candy and said, "The girl is right, if you have this ability, it's better to earn some money."

Bingtang thought about his noble father. The final result of "noble" was that the Tang family was destroyed, so he stopped holding it. He smiled and said, "The girl helps me to contact me, and we will share the money."

"I don't want your money. If the business can be successful, I will use your money for nothing that I rub on my face." Qin Yining clicked on the round apple face of rock candy, and smiled and asked Songlan to comb her hair. .

Bingtang looked at Qin Yining's back and smiled gratefully.

Laba naturally wants to eat Laba porridge, and Dayan also has the habit of giving porridge to Laba. Qin Yining just arrived at Cixiaoyuan, but before entering the house, he could already hear a burst of happy laughter coming from the house, and the sweet smell of Laba porridge was in the air.

After handing the cape to Song Lan who was accompanying her with a smile, Qin Yining entered the room and saluted the old lady, Mrs Sun, the second lady and the third lady first.

The old lady smiled and said, "Sister Yi is here, come and try the porridge from the East Palace."

East Palace?

Yes, the prince is now Qin Huaiyuan's student, so he will also deliver porridge on Laba Festival.

The third wife flattered: "We are thanks to the uncle. The Laba porridge in the East Palace is not for everyone. So when I go back to my parents' house, I have one more thing to show off."

The second lady smiled and said nothing.

The old lady was amused by the third wife and laughed.

At this moment, the eldest maid Jixiang walked over quickly and saluted: "Back to the old lady, the old lady from the second door just came to spread the word, saying that Qi Tailai, who was next to the eldest grandfather, told me that someone from the Cao family just came to deliver porridge."

In a word, the old lady who said it became uneasy.

The Cao family had no contact with their family, so how could they suddenly think of sending Laba porridge?

Before the old lady could answer, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside, the uncle Qin Yu walked in quickly, saluted and said to his face: "Old lady, uncle is afraid that the little ones will not understand, so he specially asked I came in to spread the word, but the Cao family didn’t know what to say in front of the emperor, but now the emperor and the queen are going to call the old lady, the eldest aunt and sister Yi into the palace to see them.”
