Chapter 677: Where's Home?
Chapter 677
Upstairs was a private room with a hidden door, and after a general glance, Erfu chose the one near the staircase, sent the young man who led the way to wait, and explained that Yaoqin was guarding the door, and went straight into the room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In a few moments, there was a knock on the door from the outside.
The person who came was Geng Hanshan, the shopkeeper of this silk village called Nishang Pavilion, a man who was nearly thirty years old, he had already known from the young man that the person who came was a young woman, so after entering the door, he did not close the door, nor did he go to the innermost round table to speak, but stood directly by the window, ensuring that everyone who passed by outside could vaguely see his position, so as not to spread any gossip and ruin the name of Nishang Pavilion.
Erfu has been paying attention to Geng Hanshan's every movement since he entered the door, and finally the moment he walked to the window, he laughed uncontrollably, "Shopkeeper Geng, you are really too careful, let's sit down and talk, otherwise I will be really tired from letting me look up at you like this." ”
"Please forgive the villain for being unreasonable. Since the guest made a request, although Geng Hanshan was a little uncomfortable, he also took a few steps forward, sat down opposite Erfu with a little restraint, and arched his hand.
Erf smiled and nodded, raised her right hand and shook it, revealing the huge ring that symbolized the status of the owner.
"The little one has seen the owner, but I don't know if the owner is coming, but there is something to order!" Geng Hanshan, who had just sat down, jumped up like a spring, learned the etiquette of the Manchus, and said respectfully.
"You sit!" Erph sighed, holding her forehead speechlessly.
Geng Hanshan, who was too restrained, gave her a sense of powerlessness that she was tired of coping.
Speaking of which, she has a lot of industries in her hands, and there are a lot of various types of stewards and shopkeepers, but the one she most often deals with is Bai Jiao, who takes care of the dazzling color workshop, firstly, because the two are both women, even if she doesn't like to go out of the house, Bai Jiao can also take the opportunity to enter the house from time to time to talk to her, and secondly, because Bai Jiao has a sense of restraint that does not belong to women in this era, so that every time she sees Bai Jiao, she has a feeling of returning to modern times, and she likes to contact Bai Jiao more and more.
However, it is more because her life circle is too narrow.
The reason why she asked Bai Jiao to expand such a shop called Nishang Pavilion in Shengjing is not the first purpose to make money, but more to find a few close friends who can chat with her like Tong Jia Suyu, but Bai Jiao arranged such a shopkeeper to come over, and Erfu said that the expectation in her heart suddenly dropped below the freezing point.
"Two days ago, I asked someone to send you a letter, hoping that you would buy the empty small courtyard next to the shop, I don't know how you arranged it here?"
When Geng Hanshan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he gave up his hand again.
Erf grinned speechlessly, and before she could react properly, Geng Hanshan had already moved to the door of the private room and made a respectful gesture to ask Erfu to move.
It seems that from the beginning of entering this shop, Erfu's most common reaction was helplessness.
As Erfu slowly walked to Geng Hanshan's side, Geng Hanshan walked to the long corridor in front of the private room, pushed open a hidden window, and gave the best viewing angle, "Boss, please look, you look at this arrangement, you are still satisfied!"
As she walked to the window, Erf said to herself that if she couldn't see what she wanted to see, the first thing she would do when she went back was to let Bai Jiao send this too humble steward to a place she couldn't see.
Outside the window, a two-storey ginkgo tree, the branches that shade the sky and the sun, are hung with emerald green like fine jade-like leaves, and in the corner of the shade, next to a swing painted with vermilion lacquer, a corridor with a glazed roof, bends and turns to connect the moon cave door, half-covered and half-covered moon cave door, is a completely elegant courtyard wrapped in the glass roof, scattered potted flowers, scattered in the meantime, completely modern style of a warm yard, so a little grandly fell into the eyes of Erfu。
It's a yard modeled after her childhood home.
She has lived in this city since she was a child, and when she knew that she was going to come to Shengjing Courtyard to reflect on her own mistakes, her strong homesickness made Erfu draw this bird's view, thinking that it would take a few days to see this courtyard full of her countless carefree childhood years, but she didn't expect it......
"You're very attentive. Erfu is a person who distinguishes between public and private, although she doesn't like Geng Hanshan's character, but she also has a general understanding of Geng Hanshan's ability to do things, looking at the red lantern flowers in the courtyard, the softness of her heart was poked hard, and she hurriedly withdrew her gaze that fell in the small courtyard, and turned around with a smile.
Geng Hanshan is still the same old look, so well-behaved that even his expression has not changed as if it was carved, and he said respectfully: "The owner has a good reputation." ”
"The shop is newly opened, I think you have to be busy with a lot of things, I don't need you to accompany me here, I'll go around the small courtyard!" Erfu said that he really couldn't find anything to say to Geng Hanshan, turned his head to look at Yaoqin, Yaoqin came forward and gave Geng Hanshan a gold bead with a few carved patterns to reward Geng Hanshan, and Erfu dropped a sentence and walked downstairs.
In the small courtyard, as soon as you open the door, you can smell a fragrant fragrance that makes people can't help but want to take a deep breath, this is the taste of home in her memory, some old small courtyards, a pair of black lacquer pillars in front of the door, should be hung with wood carved couplets in the position, pasted with a red background and gold and black couplets that are not common in this era, a few red silk lanterns are swaying in the wind and hanging under the corridor, and the door within reach is pasted with the cheesy word Fu, which is what her family looks like during the New Year.
Looking at everything in front of her, Erf thought a little naïvely, maybe she pushed open this door, and she really went home.
Thinking so, she did the same.
With a faint creak, the door was gently pushed open, and the scene she hoped for did not appear, and the furnishings in the room were very different from the home she remembered.
Yes, although she gave Bai Jiao a bird's view map and asked her to hurry up the layout, she didn't tell Bai Jiao everything in the room, so the layout in the room was still antique, and it was not what she remembered at all.
But that's fine, so that she doesn't have those unrealistic ideas.
"Master, although this courtyard looks elegant, it doesn't even have the slightest popularity, so don't go in!" Just as Erfu was about to walk into the room, Yaoqin stepped forward, blocked in front of her, and whispered.
Erfu smiled and waved her hand, rejecting Yaoqin's kindness
She understood that Yaoqin did not name her in her words, and she was afraid that her entering and leaving a hidden yard like this would arouse the suspicion of others and ruin her reputation, which was not a good one, but this was the home she desperately wanted to get back, even if the details inside were not as she thought, she would not pass through the door and not enter for that little scruple.
But when you go in, that's it, it's not home in the end.
Erfu sat on the Taishi chair in the hall, silent for a long time, looking at the empty room, imagining the furnishings of his childhood home, and finally pursed his lips and led Yaoqin back to the second floor of the Nishang Pavilion.
The embroidery girl who had already been called out of the backyard by Geng Hanshan was waiting in the private room.
As soon as Erfu entered the door, several embroiderers acted in unison, and Erf said a few words casually, and rewarded the meeting gift, leaving one of the most stable embroidery girls to measure her and send everyone else.
"You have to hurry up with this silver and blue robe. Erfu looked at the pattern book prepared by the embroiderer, randomly ordered a pattern similar to a twig pattern to make a corner decoration, rummaged through the pile of fabrics sent by the little man, pulled out a light-colored fragrant cloud yarn, and said emphatically.
It has been said before that this Shengjing is the place where the former Emperor Taiji ascended the throne and called the emperor, although the capital has now been moved, this former imperial city is not in the imperial city, but there are still many elderly old royal relatives and nobles who stay here to retire, children and grandchildren, grandchildren and children, this has the rank of the county king, Baylor, and it is absolutely not necessary to be less in the capital, Erfu came to Shengjing Courtyard to reflect on his own side Fujin, it has attracted the attention of many people.
After finding out the attitude of the fourth master towards Erfu, a letter of invitation was sent to her, and she asked Zhang Bao to select a few irrelevant Bellefort posts from them, and then set a date for the banquet, and she came to cut the new clothes today, that is, to go to these banquets.
The reason why I chose such a precious material as Xiangyun yarn is that I want to play the brand of Nishang Pavilion, and secondly, the color of Xiangyun yarn is plain, which will not make people feel that she is flamboyant, and she will not take the edict of the old man Kangxi to her reflection on her mistakes to heart, and she will not lose her dignity, lest her first appearance be embarrassed in front of the Fujin of these old royal relatives and nobles.
In this regard, Erfu also secretly rejoiced, thanks to Bai Jiao's proper arrangement, otherwise if he wanted to find such good materials from other silk villages in Shengjing City, it would be a fool's dream.
With the most important and urgent set of dresses set, Erf sighed, and discussed with the embroiderer, and selected the patterns and materials to be embroidered on the other sets of clothes, and she did not intend to delay here any longer.
It is difficult for her to come out once, and she wants to turn around Shengjing City.
Ancient hometown, what a magical feeling, Erfu sat in the small sedan chair carried by the two, holding a corner of the sedan curtain with her bare hands, carefully looking at all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, listening to the familiar and unfamiliar folk sound, muttering and muttering, even Yaoqin couldn't hear the words clearly, in fact, she was judging the location of these shops in modern times according to the location of the Forbidden City in her hometown, according to the north-south direction, and analyzing her modern home, where should she be.
If she could, she would really like to see what her home was like hundreds of years ago.
Of course, this is simply impossible Miyagi, the development of history, has worn out too many things, just relying on a few places of interest and historical sites that have been handed down to find the location of the modern home, it is simply like a fool's dream, just like the pseudo-home she asked Geng Hanshan to prepare.
"Master, it's not early, why don't you come down and rest!" "The first time Yaoqin saw Erfu who likes to go shopping so much, she has been waiting by the sedan chair in a regular manner, if she hadn't seen that the footman who lifted her feet had already shaken her legs, she really didn't want to spoil Erfu's interest, but considering Erfu's safety, she would not be thrown off the sedan chair by the exhausted porter, she still did a wicked person.
When Erfu heard this, she also came back to her senses, and looked at Yaoqin, whose face was flushed and sweaty on her forehead, and she could imagine the current situation of the porter, so she didn't continue to turn around, after all, this city is here, and she lives here, and there will be a lot of opportunities to come out and turn around in the future, she doesn't need to go around in a hurry like going out on a trip, so she didn't feel the feeling of being destroyed, she just pointed to the teahouse on the corner of the street with a banner, and said with a smile: " It's hard to make a trip, but I forgot the time, and I owe you to remind me early, otherwise my stomach will growl!"
As she spoke, she asked Yaoqin to go to the teahouse first to arrange food.
The teahouse is a place to listen to books and music, and it only provides some snacks for polishing time, but it is the most appetite for Erfu, otherwise she would not give up those restaurants, and choose the teahouse on the corner of the street as a temporary resting place.
In the small teahouse, on a platform more than a foot above the ground, the old storyteller is telling a mythical story, most of these small stories are passed down by word of mouth in the countryside, and after the old storyteller's re-creation was put on the stage, some of which were told by the elders of the family when Erf was a child, but she still thinks it is very interesting to listen to it now.
really responded to the sentence 'if you have the intention to plant flowers and flowers do not bloom, and you have no intention of planting willows and willows', the modern home she wanted to find, and the childhood home that she asked Bai Jiao to arrange for people to prepare, basically failed, but a few small stories from the storyteller let her find the hometown in her memory.
"If they're hungry, let them go to the restaurant next door to get a bite to eat, and I'll listen to the book here. Erfu didn't want to eat outside, but she was not a ruthless master who treated her harshly, thinking that the two palanquin men carried her all the way around, it must have consumed a lot of physical strength, and these little snacks alone couldn't even pad her stomach, so she turned her head to Yaoqin, who was peeling walnuts for her, and gave an order.
Yaoqin responded and walked to the sedan chair man who was squatting at the door.
