In the evening, it had just rained, and the sunlight after the rain reflected mottled the green leaves through the breeze on the old street paved with bluestone slabs, reflecting the crystal light on the damp but clean stone slabs. And some green grass grew between the cracks of the stone slabs, which was more verdant and lovely than usual.

A pair of small lotus feet, gently stepping on the bluestone slab, walked quickly from a distance, the black embroidered shoes with cloth buckles were stained with some stains, and even the white socks were splashed with mud, so that the owner of the arch of the foot with a habit of cleanliness twisted his eyebrows imperceptibly. This is a schoolgirl in ordinary costume, she combs her eyebrow-length bangs, two long black and slippery braids hang down obediently on the back of her head, and has a pair of dark and bright autumn water cut eyes, a straight nose, and ruddy lips, due to the fast walking, a thin layer of red/halo appears on her pink face, which looks pleasing to the eye.

She carried a yellow oil-paper umbrella, a white dress and a black skirt, with horn tube cuffs, revealing a jade wrist like a lotus root, and her face was powdered.

April in the south of the Yangtze River has passed February, and the rainy season has not yet arrived, so it rains for a while, and soon it will be clear. When she came back from class, just in time for a thunderstorm, she hid, and when she saw that the weather was clear, she immediately walked in the direction of home, so as not to miss the time to go back to help.

Since it had just rained, the air was still damp, but it was very fresh. She carefully stepped on the bluestone slab, carefully avoided the green moss, walked in three steps and two small steps, and just arrived at the gate of Chengfu Yicui Garden, which is a Chinese-style courtyard handed down by the ancestors.

The weather in April can change so quickly that it can be surprising. Before we entered May, the afternoon sun was already scorching and unbearable. Because she was in a hurry, a pink halo appeared on her fair face, and she looked as delicate as cherry blossoms. As soon as her shadow flashed, a little girl Mei Xiang saw her and greeted her with a clever smile: "Miss Gong, is the school out of class?" Gong Mengshu shook his head and said, "It's hard for you to guard here, is the old lady waiting for me?"

Mei Xiang obediently took the butter paper umbrella for Gong Mengshu and put it away, and replied: "I'm waiting, I just asked the girl when she will come back?" Gong Mengshu said: "It's raining, so I delayed a little on the road." Mei Xiang hurriedly nodded and said, "The old lady said the same thing, saying that she must wait for Miss Gong to come back before she can start eating." ”

Gong Mengshu looked at his dirty feet, didn't care about talking to Mei Xiang, and hurriedly entered the compound to change clothes. Cheng's grandmother has always liked to be clean and tidy, and when she saw the mud stains on her feet, she had to say a few words, so she better go and change them. She has been in the Cheng Mansion for many years, and she has long been accustomed to the rules of the Cheng family.

Gong Mengshu was very fast, and when she came out again after a while, she had already changed into a moon-white slanted open-sleeved silk shirt, a light gray Luo skirt, and the skirt was embroidered with a few sparse and fallen plain plums, which disappeared from time to time with the posture of walking, as if she was going to have life.

Walking along the path of the patio to the dining room, before he got closer, Gong Mengshu smelled the aroma of food. The big families in Mingcheng like to have dinner with the whole family, and the Cheng family, as the richest man in Mingcheng, naturally has this rule.
