Hongling pursed her lips and went out with a smile. Caiwei looked at her young lady with sparkling eyes. No wonder Sister-in-law Guo was in high spirits these past two days. It turned out that the young lady had another big errand to do for her.

After a while, Mother Gu came in from outside, holding not only the cards for the loom, but also a thick roster.

Looking at her mother's hair on her temples, Qian Xi couldn't help but smile and said, "Is there any hard work in the house that I have to do myself?"

Gu's mother looked tired: "Just kidding, girl, I've just been rummaging in the warehouse for a long time, and the old bones are almost falling apart."

Qian Xi's eyes moved slightly.

Luo's dowry, such as the outside properties and shops, are all taken care of personally by Luo, and Gu's mother is in charge, and no one else knows the details; while in the Qin Mansion, Luo's personal belongings, such as gold, silver, pearls and jade, are all taken care of.

Calligraphy, painting, and treasures all have the key to Hongling.

I was looking for something important today, but Mother Gu went there in person, while Hongling stayed here to take care of her.

Thinking of Luo Shi's sincerity towards her, Qian Xi smiled gently: "Mom is getting old. She can't live without you everywhere. She is too busy. If there is anything you need to help me with, don't be polite to me. Let the girl go.

Hui Luyuan will let you know."

Hearing this, Mother Gu's eyes suddenly lit up, she clapped her hands and said to Luo: "Oh, I have been worried for a long time in vain, why didn't I think of looking for the Fourth Miss?"

Looking at her mother who was very excited and looking at her, Luo sighed helplessly: "No matter how big an idea it is, it's worth your trouble. If you want Xi'er to help, just take her there. Teaching now is not as good as learning now. Let her go and see it, which is also learning.

With the butler."

The last sentence was obviously meant for Qianxi, who hurriedly stood up and responded. Caiwei collected the cards, Luo gave a few more instructions, and the three of them went to the warehouse together.

The house in the south of the east courtyard is Jubao Pavilion. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but there is something special inside.

Caiwei stayed outside waiting, while Qianxi followed Gu's mother into the courtyard and asked with a smile: "What's the matter? It's so important."

Mother Gu couldn't wait for a long time and explained the reason in detail.

It turned out that after the incident with Concubine Lou last time, the day before yesterday, because he was delivering a message for the old lady, the eldest master Qin Xiuyan came to Xiantingyuan to sit for a while. During the chat, he and Luo were very harmonious and harmonious. Mother Gu was thinking about the future.

Qin Xiuyan was afraid that he would come here often, so he wanted to renovate the furnishings in Xanting Garden.

With an anxious look on her face, Mother Gu lowered her voice and said: "Logically, the girl has not yet reached the age to leave the court, so I should not say this to the girl. But the girl is filial to the master and caring to his wife. The old slave can see that the girl also misses the master.

The ladies treat each other with respect as guests, and the music and instruments are in harmony, right or wrong?"

Qian Xi probably guessed Mama Gu's intention and immediately nodded with a smile: "That's natural."

Mother Gu was happy: "To be honest, since Madam used the ointments and perfume prepared by the young lady, her complexion and energy are much better now. The old slave looks at me. The way I look at Madam these few times is the same as when Madam first entered the house."

The house is generally the same. Madam Pian is careless and ignorant about these matters, but she blames the servants for being troublesome."

"Madam, I don't want to think about it. It has been a few years since I moved to Nanyuan Study Room. Now the relationship has finally eased and I am willing to come and go around. If this place is still the same as before and everything is deserted, even if my heart is warm, it will gradually cool down."

Going down."

Qian Xi's face was slightly red, she lowered her head and listened quietly, but in her heart she agreed with Mother Gu's statement.

Qin Xiuyan is an elegant and talented man who is well-known in the Eastern Capital. Although Luo is beautiful and shrewd, he is not even a little bit behind in knowledge and taste. The furnishings in the Listening Garden are even dull and boring, and are more rigid and boring than a man's study. Last year she

I felt it deeply on the first day I entered the house.

But after all, this is a matter between husband and wife. Even though Gu’s mother asked for help, she shamelessly pointed out how a girl’s family should be.

Smiling, Qianxi avoided the important and ignored the important: "I have long heard that my father is a master of poetry and painting. Fortunately, I am not good at poetry, but I still know a few good paintings. After a while, I helped my mother pick a few and hung them in my mother's room. My father was free.

It’s very appropriate to come and appreciate it.”

Mother Gu was stunned for a moment, then she understood and hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, the girl knows those elegant things better than I do."

Entering the warehouse, the two of them had a tacit understanding and watched slowly all the way.

They ranged from plum vases, flower goblets, round pastel melon cups, to large carved lacquered mother-of-pearl screens. Qianxi stopped to admire what caught her eye, and Mama Gu remembered them all in her mind.

select.

After looking at it for most of an hour, Qianxi went to pick out some paintings. There were only three or two paintings. She unfolded them and told her mother in detail which paintings were suitable for hanging where. Mother Gu agreed. Qianxi thought about it again.

He also opened the book box on one side and selected a set of "Miscellaneous Notes on Fu Sheng", a unique set of "History of the Six Kingdoms" and a rare copy of "Su Gongtie", and asked Mama Gu to take them back and put them on her desk.

After walking around for a while, Mother Gu felt like she had taken a reassurance, and she seemed to have made all the plans.

She sent Qian Xi away with a smile. When Gu's mother came back, she directed the servants to get busy.

Within two days, Xantingyuan was completely transformed, inside and out.

It is still the original main hall with three rooms, and the old mahogany furniture remains intact. The blessings, wealth, longevity and happiness on the immortal table in the main hall have been replaced by the beautiful Yushanzi with thousands of rocks, a waterfall surrounded by clouds and mist, and green rocks.

The pines and bamboos on the top are rich and colorful, the workmanship is ingenious, and they are full of vitality.

The four-season screen with plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo and chrysanthemums in the east hall was removed and replaced with a large vertical screen with carved lacquered mother-of-pearl inlays of cold ducks playing in the water. On the screen were several branches of fresh green wicker, and the ducks fluttered their wings and splashed in the water despite the cold spring, which was full of fun.

On the Arhat's couch, all the account books and arithmetic beads were put into the cabinet. Outside, there were only some jade whisks, a small secret porcelain incense burner, and a pastel melon tea set.

The West Hall has undergone the biggest change. The bead curtain used to isolate the space has been replaced by a door leaf with hollow gauze. On one side of the room is the couch where the concubine is sleeping in spring, and a meticulously painted picture of a cat flapping butterflies hangs on the wall. On the other side is the Duobao Pavilion.

In addition to the several sets of books chosen by Qian Xi, Gu's mother also selected some rare antiques to supplement them. There was a bookcase next to the window, which was as complete as a study room. At first glance, it was specially designed for Qin Xiuyan.

Luo Shi didn't know what was going on, and mistakenly thought that this was Qian Xi's suggestion. She suddenly felt a little hot and stood awkwardly by the desk, as if someone had read her mind, feeling uneasy. Mother Gu's eyes widened, as if she was filled with hatred.

With a steel-like appearance, he pushed Luo Shi directly into the sleeping room in the back room.

As soon as you enter the door, your eyes are filled with soft and fresh colors. Mother-of-pearl paint stands in front of the bed, and a screen with butterflies and peonies embroidered on it is shadowy; the pictures of ladies on the wall have been replaced by pictures of babies playing; the window lattice grids are all

It's freshly made ice silk silk quilt; especially on the bed, in addition to the primrose-colored silk quilt of hundreds of descendants, there is also a red gauze curtain with hibiscus and pedicles as light as smoke, yellow and tender, which makes Luo's eyes straight.

Jaw-dropping!
