Chapter 002 The Garden
After passing through these days, Hyman looked at this face carefully for the first time: pale eyebrows, apricot eyes, small nose, pointed chin, although not beautiful, but also beautiful. It's just that it's too thin, and the cheeks are a little sunken and a little less warm. I think the former owner of this body has suffered a lot.
"Second young lady, you are really too thin. You must eat more good tonics." Mei Xinger seemed to see through her mind and said while combing her hair.
Hyman also felt that this face was too pale and sickly. It was better to bask in the sun. Looking out of the window, it was late spring. The weather was fine and there was no wind, so I wanted to go out.
"Mei Xinger, let's go out for a walk later." She said.
Mei Xinger is only 15 or 16 years old and is greedy for fun. She has been accompanying Hyman's bed day and night these days, and she is also a little suffocated. Naturally, she is not happy to go out to breathe. Without waiting for Hyman to ask, he took the initiative to recommend, "Grandma, why don't you accompany you to the back garden? I heard from Ozawako, who just came to deliver food, that many kinds of flowers have bloomed, and the garden is full of flowers. By the way, pick a few branches and put them in a vase to smoke the house for you.
"Okay, let's go now!" Hyman was a little more interested when he saw that she was happy.
As Mei Xinger came out of the yard, Haiman was very shocked and looked up. What a large mansion, with heavy courtyards and pavilions. It was so spectacular that he couldn't help blurting out, "What is the Lin family doing?"
Mei Xinger looked at her in surprise, "Didn't you hear about the Lin family before you got married?" Seeing that she frowned and said nothing, she suddenly remembered that she was stunned that night in the bridal chamber. She seemed to understand a little in her heart that she was afraid that the grandmother had been hidden and married. She hurriedly explained to her, "The Lin family is an imperial merchant who has been working for several generations. I heard that this house was for the court when the old master was young. Prepare food and pay horses, let our army win a great battle, and make contributions to the country. The emperor specially gave it to the Lin family as a reward.
Huishang Haiman still knows something about it. It was a businessman who was popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, specializing in buying materials in the court. It is naturally profitable to do business with the royal family. No wonder even a little girl like Mei Xinger is well dressed.
While walking, I listened to Mei Xinger introduce the famous halls of Linfu Langting Water Pavilion, such as Yingxia Lake, Huishui Pavilion, Bayin Tower, Donglian Pavilion, Xilian Pavilion, Qinlan Courtyard, Luyang Courtyard...
Hyman remembered that he glanced casually when he went out. The name of the yard he lived seemed to be "Yuzhiyuan", and he thought that every building in the forest mansion had a name. At a glance, he glanced at a corner of the green eaves exposed in a forest, so he asked Mei Xinger, "What is that place?"
Mei Xinger followed her hand, and her face suddenly changed. She came over and said in a low voice, "That's Qingyuan, a forbidden place in Lin Mansion!"
"Forbidden place? Why?" Hyman can't help but be curious.
"I heard that there is...haunted!" Although tomorrow is empty, Mei Xinger still couldn't help shivering when she mentioned the word "ghost" and hurriedly took Haiman's arm. "Second young lady, let's go quickly. That's where the people up and down the Lin family don't even dare to mention it. Let's not get any bad luck!"
Hyman smiled disapprovingly. She has married a dead man. What could be more unlucky than this? However, she was not interested in the forbidden place of Lin Mansion, so she followed Mei Xinger through flowers and brushed the willows all the way to the back garden.
It is worthy of being an imperial merchant, and the back garden is also magnificent and ridiculously large. All kinds of unnamed flowers and trees are arranged, some branches are bare, some have lush branches and leaves, some green branches are covered with buds, and some can't wait to show all kinds of flowers. The air stained with the smell of sunshine is filled with the fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel particularly comfortable.
"Second young grandma, I went to the gardener and asked him to fold some flowers and bring them back to the room." Mei Xinger said she was going to run.
Hyman was a little puzzled, "Why are you looking for a gardener?"
"You don't know that the florian here is a strange person. He specially begged the master to set a rule. No matter which house and which courtyard want to be folded, it must be allowed by the gardener. He said that which branch can be folded can be folded, and it can't be folded casually, otherwise the monthly money will be deducted." Mei Xinger seemed to have a problem with the gardener, but when she spoke, she lowered her voice for fear that others would hear the same thing. "I heard that the gardener has a lot of problems. You can't use your hands when folding flowers. You have to cut it carefully with scissors and apply mud on the cuttings afterwards. What a strange person!"
Hyman doesn't think how strange the florist is. He just did what the florist should do, but he just loves flowers! A subordinate who dares to set such a rule must be a straightforward and serious person!
She was leaning over and smelling a blooming spring orchid. Suddenly, she heard a sound. As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw a pair of feet in satin shoes in the grass in front of her.
She straightened up and looked at her. This was a teenager who seemed to be 17 or 18 years old, with a moderate figure, wearing a moon-white robe and a folding fan in his hand. A childish face with a obscenity expression unique to a dboy, half squinted and looked at her playfully.
Seeing that Hyman looked over without hesitation, he seemed to be a little surprised. He raised his eyebrows and laughed, "You little girl is quite interesting! Newcomer, right? Which room? What's your name?"
Hyman didn't want to pester a smelly little boy. He glanced at him coldly and turned around to leave.
It's just that the obscene little boy didn't seem to want to let her go. He stepped on the orchid she had just watched and stepped over and blocked her way. "Hey, don't go. It's rare to have such good weather. How about chatting with me?
"Get out of here, or I'll be polite!" When Hyman saw that he wanted to gain an inch, he couldn't help but get angry.
"Ouch, ouch, look at this stubborn little appearance, I really love you!" Instead of rolling away, the little boy reached out and touched Hyman's jaw.
Hyman snorted coldly and pulled his arm to the side. At the same time, he bent his knees and raised his legs and hit his stomach fiercely.
The little boy was so painful that he couldn't even scream. His face lay on the ground for a long time before he came back and pointed to Hyman angrily, "You... Hello... How dare you dare to fight against the young master. I see... You are impatient..." He said and shouted, "Come on, come on. Ah..."
Unfortunately, the sky did not meet his wishes. After a few calls, no one answered, and Hyman sneered without sarcasm.
The form in front of him is obvious. No one can help him, and he can't beat Hayman, so he has to cover his stomach and get up and escape. While running, he threw down a few words viciously, "Wait, I won't peel your skin..."
After seeing the little child disappear in the bushes, Hyman subconsciously looked at his hands. It seemed that the several self-defense skills he had learned in his previous life were not forgotten because of the change of the body, but made it quite smooth.
"Hey, why did you step on my orchid?" At the moment when she was stunned, there suddenly came an angry shout in her ear. She turned her head and saw a young man in a thick blue shirt staring at her angrily. Before she could speak, the man squatted down to help the orchid, with a sad face, "Why are there so many vulgar people in the world? What a precious nine Zilan has been ruined like this..."
