He promised to thank him, sat for less than a quarter of an hour, and fled under the pretext of going to see the camellias. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Ye family is a family of tea artists, although they do not operate a tea business, but they are used to planting some tea trees in the house for ornamentation.
At this time, the camellia blooming period has passed, but the Ye family has a special person to take care of the tea trees in Manchuria, so the camellia flowering period is longer than that planted by others, and the flowers are still delicate and dripping.
Promise asked the maid for directions, and soon found the garden where the camellia bloomed best.
Different kinds of camellia are planted here, such as the pink Eighteen Bachelors, Chidan, and Tea Plum, all of which are good.
If you look closely, you will find that some flowers still can't withstand the warmer weather, and the petals begin to turn yellow, but it does not affect the viewing.
Not long after Xu Yu came over, Lu Jiuniang chased after her, she gasped and said, "Liuniang, you go slowly." ”
"Why did Sister Nine come out? Those ladies are willing to let you out?" Xu Yu slowed down, hugged the panting Lu Jiuniang, and quipped.
"I'm not the protagonist today, why didn't you let me out, but you, why did you run out, why didn't my aunt come?" Lu Jiuniang stood and gasped for two breaths, then picked a piece of grass and played with it in her hand, and from time to time she used the grass to play with the camellia like a kitten.
Xu Yu stepped on the sunlight shining through the tea trees, and said with a smile: "I also wonder why my mother didn't come, she went to the Song family's Wenhui, but I don't know why she didn't come to the Ye family." Also, why can't I come out, you can see where I go to the banquet, willing to sit and chat with the elders. ”
"Today is naturally different, Ye Shishilang is such an excellent and undecided leader, I don't know how many people in Bianjing City are staring at, you and I are generally old ladies who want to stay in the room just now all day, so that the elders of the Ye family can remember them. Lu Jiuniang turned her head to look around, and said in a low voice after confirming that there was no one.
Hearing Lu Jiuniang say this, Xu Yu suddenly understood why there were so many little ladies today.
"Ye Shilang's relatives can't take the turn of the people in this mansion to speak, and the people who can make decisions are all in the ancestral house in Suzhou. Xu Yu was very clear about the situation of the Ye family, and told Lu Jiuniang with certainty.
Also, I heard that his father and mother have never come to Bianjing to see him since he went to the capital, and his grandfather and grandmother are also in the ancestral house, so today's well-dressed ladies are really dressed in vain. ”
Lu Jiuniang thought to herself, if she hadn't already had a marriage contract, I am afraid that she would have been dressed up by her mother today, and she was carefully told to let her go out.
"Let's enjoy the camellia here, we can't see such a good camellia anywhere else at this time. Xu promised to take Lu Jiuniang's arm and lead her to a few white camellias.
The two found a pavilion with a maidservant serving tea, and they drank tea and ate snacks at the same time.
When they were in one place, they always talked about some books they had read and the strange things they had encountered, and time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to go back.
They walked back arm in arm, and when they were about to leave the garden, they saw a young man in a green cloth hurrying by.
When the young man saw the two, he stopped and bowed, and apologized: "Two ladies, the little one didn't know that there were still guests in the garden, and they broke over, it's really abrupt, I'm sorry." ”
Xu Promise shook his head and said, "Although this garden is reserved for female guests today, it is not your fault that it is past the time of the banquet and that we are late. ”
"Thank you for your understanding, the little one retired first. The boy took a few steps back as he spoke, and left the other way.
This young man's temperament is the same as that of the Ye family, clear and elegant, and the whole person stands straight and upright like a cypress tree in the mountains.
When they saw him, Xu Yu and Lu Jiuniang unanimously thought that he was the Langjun of the Lu family, but they didn't expect him to call himself a small one.
Then, he is the Ye family's little servant or an apprentice who learns tea art.
Seeing this young man, Lu Jiuniang couldn't help but think of the maid beside her who had been deceived by the Langjun of the Qian family, and she said: "Liuniang, can you find a good place for the Chuntang in your house? ”
"My mother and Aunt Twenty-One both persuaded me to marry Chuntang quickly, but she was a little seriously injured this time, I want to let her slow down first, and I haven't found a suitable person for her yet. Xu Promise was still a little sad when he talked about this, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Lu Jiuniang patted the promised hand and smiled wordlessly, as if telling her not to worry.
The two said goodbye to the elders of the Ye family, and when they were about to walk out of the Ye Mansion, Lu Jiuniang suddenly said, "What do you think of the person you saw in the garden just now, is it worthy of Chuntang?"
Xu Yu was stunned for a moment, the person just now was really good, his demeanor and etiquette were very good, and he looked like he had read a book, otherwise she would not mistake him for Langjun of the Ye family.
"Thank you, Sister Nine, this person can think about it. Promised to be overjoyed, said goodbye to Lu Jiuniang, and couldn't wait to get into the carriage.
She wanted to ask the eldest brother and Erlang if they had seen the young man just now, and what was the character of this person.
Although she has always wanted to find a husband for Chuntang, the Ye family's little servant or apprentice will have the opportunity to be a tea man in the future, which is no worse than lifting people.
Xu Yu thought about this problem all the way, and after the carriage stopped, he ran directly to Xu Pingyi's yard.
Although she is close to Xu Pingyi, Xu Pingyi spent almost all of her time in Yingtianfu Academy in the past, and if she returns to Xu's Mansion, the place she stays in the most is also Lu's house and Xu Gucheng's study, so she rarely goes to his courtyard.
Xu Pingyi's yard is very simple, without any elaborate decoration feeling, the small yard is planted with the most common flowers and plants of the Xu family, and at a glance it is known that it is arranged by the grandmother in his yard.
There are three rooms that he usually uses, the bedroom is in the middle, and a lot of carved jade objects are placed; one room is specially used for carving jade, the windows in the room have been enlarged, the light is excellent, there are several large boxes, filled with carving tools and all kinds of jade; and the other is a study, which is much smaller than the room for carving jade, and the original space is enough, but since he was preparing for the imperial examination, there are more and more books in this study, and the space for activities has become smaller, and it looks crowded at a glance.
Lu Shi said many times that he wanted to choose another room as Xu Pingyi's study, but he refused.
Because, if you choose another room as a study, you will inevitably choose the east wing, but Xu Pingyi let the two little guys live in that room, if it is changed to a study, the little guy can only live in a smaller house.
When he entered the courtyard, a servant girl greeted him and bowed: "I have seen six ladies." ”
"Is Big Brother back?" asked Xu Promise, his eyes looking over to the room where the jade was carved.
The maidservant replied: "Lang Jun sent a message, saying that he would stay at Ye's house for dinner today. ”
Promise nodded and turned to leave.
