Chapter 199: A Family Outing
Spring is bright and bright, and everything is shining.
It is another good weather with a warm day, and the weeping willows in the yard are like thousands of green silk hanging on the branches, accompanied by a warm breeze, full of spring.
At this time, it is most suitable to go out.
Zheng Sui happily walked out of the courtyard and headed for the main courtyard.
Last night, the fifth brother Zheng Wei told her that he would take her and A Luo to Yanque Lake today, and he had already rented a residence and could live there for ten days.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the study in the main courtyard, Zheng Sui glanced at Sandu who was guarding outside, and asked softly, "What is Brother busy with?"
It's just that as soon as the words fell, before Sandu could reply, he heard the clear voice of the fifth brother Zheng Wei coming from inside, "Since Xixi is here, come in." β
"Brother," Zheng Sui called and walked in.
The four windows in the room are open, the warm sunlight shines in from the window, the potted rhododendrons on the windowsill are red and gorgeous, and they are very good, the piano stand stands in front of the window, and there are two calligraphy on the wall, one is "Persuasion" written by Ruan Yao, and the other is "Pingcheng Fu" written by Wang Shishilang, which is the famous work of the fifth brother.
At this moment, the fifth brother was kneeling on the couch, with several documents on the desk, Wen Weng and Erjing squatting on one side, carefully verifying.
When Zheng Sui saw Wen Weng, he shouted Ah Weng.
Wen Weng raised his head and glanced at Zheng Sui with a smile, only to see Zheng Wei close a document in his hand, get up, and hand it to Wen Weng, "Okay, that's all, I'm tired of going to Ah Weng today." β
"No problem. Wen Weng smiled and agreed, "Since it's a family trip." Gorou and the little lady will stay there for a few more days, and if there is anything, the old man will send someone to inform Gorou. β
"Then there's Rauaun. Zheng Sui shook at Wen Weng.
Wen Weng returned the salute. Leaving with a few volumes of paperwork.
As soon as the person left, Zheng Sui couldn't help asking, "Brother, what does it mean to travel with your family?"
"I thought about it, since I was going out, and now that the weather is good, I just go with the whole family, and Shiro will go to Jingzhou next month. In the future, I will stay in Jingzhou, and when I come back from Jingzhou, I will go to Jingkou again. Next, the family is afraid that it will be difficult to get together, so it is up to the decision, not just you and Aro. Jiuniang and Shiro also went. β
Speaking of which. Since he came to Jiankang, he has not gone to Jingkou to visit the fourth uncle, this trip is imperative, and he has to take Zheng Sui with him.
Zheng Sui heard this, and asked in surprise: "Brother, can Jiuniang go out?" She remembered, in order to avoid letting Jiuniang Zheng Qian enter the palace. These days, Jiu Niang has been sick. Didn't go out.
"Absolutely. Zheng Wei smiled, about Jiuniang, he and Shiro had already discussed, since they couldn't escape, it was better to go with the flow, and looked at Zheng Sui with a sad face, so he persuaded: "You don't need to worry about these, let's go, you are here, presumably Ah Xi and Ah Luo are already waiting at the door." β
Zheng Sui sighed, suddenly raised his head and asked Zheng Wei, "Did Erlang and Erniang go with them?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Eighteen doesn't have a family, so naturally there will be no Erlang and his wife. β
Zheng Sui brothers and sisters went out of the study, and when they arrived at the side door, the ox cart had already been prepared, A Luo and Jiuniang Zheng Qian had already come over, and the fourth sister-in-law Yin was sitting on an ox cart, and now they were put on a spring shirt.
As soon as she saw Zheng Sui coming, the fourth sister-in-law, Yin, beckoned to her and asked her to come over.
Zheng Sui walked over and called out to the fourth sister-in-law, but did not get into the car, "Brother, the ox cart they ride in is big, and Brother and I take a car." β
Yin knew in her heart that Zheng Sui didn't like her, and there was a lot of estrangement between the two of them, not to mention that Zheng Sui didn't want to sit in the same car with her, she was also unhappy to be in the same car with Zheng Sui, but at this time, the family was there, and the family went out, Yin is sister-in-law, no matter how unhappy she was, she had to persuade, "Shi Niang, you are a little lady, sitting with your brother, it is somewhat inconvenient, or follow your sister-in-law and Jiuniang Luo to take the car together." β
Zheng Sui smiled busily, "I often go out with my brother recently, and I always take a car, and my brother's car has everything, which is much more convenient than the ox cart that the fourth sister-in-law takes." When Zheng Sui said this, he had already skimmed the corner of his eyes to the fifth brother next to him, but unfortunately, the fifth brother who came out with her had already entered a carriage in front of him at this moment.
Yin Shi understood that Zheng Sui was deliberately misinterpreting her meaning, "Xixi, the compartment of this car is also very spacious, from here to Yanque Lake, you have to walk for an hour and a half, get on the bus quickly." For Zheng Sui's disobedience, I was very annoyed.
At this moment, Zheng Sui wanted to refuse directly, only to see Shiro Zheng Jun poke his head out of the carriage in front of him and opened his mouth, "Just let Shi Niang follow us." β
Yin listened to Shiro's words and responded with a smile on his face.
Zheng Sui saluted, turned around and got into the ox cart in front.
The ox cart started slowly, and as soon as Zheng Sui sat down, he heard the fifth brother Zheng Wei say: "Xixi, no matter what you usually do, it's not yours." β
Yan SΓΉ's tone made Zheng Sui stunned.
Zheng Sui habitually wanted to say that I didn't like her, but when I saw the fourth brother Zheng Jun opposite, Zheng Sui's words were swallowed in his throat and didn't say it, so he lowered his head and didn't speak, fiddling with his waist, Jiu Niang's newly embroidered purse for her.
"Gorou, forget it. Zheng Jun opened his mouth to persuade: "Shi Niang and the Yin family do not fall in love, we go to force it, but we can't force it, besides, there are no outsiders present, if there are outsiders present, Shi Niang will not be like this." β
Zheng Sui hurriedly echoed and looked at the fifth brother Zheng Wei beside him, "Yes, I have always respected her as a sister-in-law." β
Zheng Wei listened, with a somewhat helpless smile on his face.
Along the Qingxi all the way to the north, this section, most of them are the residences of the big families, the green buildings rise up in the garden, the houses are one after another, the carved beams and painted buildings, the eaves are flying high, showing the trend of hooking, the green bricks and green tiles, the vermilion gate, covering a luxurious door.
After walking for about half an hour, then turn east, go out of the outer Guo fence, and then go east, is the location of Yanque Lake.
Around Yanque Lake, there are mostly royal mansions, and the courtyard rented by the Zheng family this time is still within the outer Guo fence.
First went to the other courtyard, settled down, and took advantage of the fact that it was still early, and there was still a while before noon, Zheng Wei took Zheng Sui to Yanque Lake first.
Peach red willow green, the lake water rippling, under the reflection of the sun, sparkling, occasionally the wind blows, the petals are falling down, floating on the surface of the lake, falling flowers and flowing water, self-drifting, wicker swaying, clear lake water, reflecting the sparse shadow and horizontal oblique, since the shallow.
The scenery is excellent, fresh and natural, revealing a strong sense of spring, the cry of the yellow warbler comes from time to time, pleasant to the ear, showing vitality.
It's just that there are many palaces around, and there are not many people who come to Yanque Lake, and there are not many people on the side of the lake, but there are more than three or five cruise boats, and along both sides of the lake, pedestrians are just dozens of people, including the servants who follow.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Zheng Sui suddenly sighed, "It's really much better than Jianchu Temple, the blooming peach blossoms are not inferior to the backyard of Jianchu Temple, but there are many fewer people than Jianchu Temple, and it is better than quiet." "In Jianchu Temple, I only saw a crowd of people, and a black oppressive human head.
Thinking of this, Zheng Sui lifted the corner of his hat and turned his head to look at the fifth brother Zheng Wei beside him, "Brother, I heard that many people have set up houses outside the city, so it is better for us to live outside the city in the future." β
"If you want to go, you can only go to Stone Town, not here. β
Zheng Sui didn't pay much attention to the words of the fifth brother Zheng Wei, but just looked at the lake, and suddenly sighed again, "If it is summer, living by this lake will definitely be very cool and comfortable." She has always been most afraid of the scorching summer, not to mention, with last year's experience, the summer of Jiankang City is like a big furnace.
"Hee-hee, the girl in front, do you know each other?"
Hearing this, Zheng Sui followed the gaze of the fifth brother Zheng Wei and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a girl standing in front of the weeping willow, followed by two maids and two servants, the girl was wearing a hat, and she couldn't see her face clearly, and when she recognized the two maids next to her, Zheng Sui's voice was a little surprised, "It's Yuan Sanniang, I didn't expect her to come today, but I happened to run into it." With that, he walked up quickly.
The two saluted each other, and Yuan Sanniang gently lifted the corner of the hat, "I just recognized Cai Fu from afar, and I saw a handsome gentleman beside you, so I guessed that it was you." When he said this, he looked behind Zheng Sui, but with just one glance, he put down his hat and lifted his hat.
Zheng Sui was beside Yuan Sanniang and said softly: "This is my brother Zheng Wulang." β
Yuan Sanniang smiled softly, her voice was very sweet, "Wulang is famous for building a healthy city, I don't know anyone." As he spoke, he bowed slightly in the direction of Zheng Wei.
Zheng Wei walked over, stopped at a distance of about five paces, and saluted back, "I've seen Yuan Sanniang." Then, he said to Zheng Sui: "Xixi, I'll go ahead and ask, if there is a cruise ship for rent, you and Yuan Sanniang are talking here, and I'll come back later." β
Zheng Sui hurriedly answered, and watched the fifth brother Zheng Wei leave.
"Shi Niang, your brother is so good-looking, no wonder the people in Jiankang City call him and Wang Shishilang the beauty of the wall. β
When Zheng Sui went out recently, his ears were already calloused, and he only turned his head and asked Yuan Sanniang, "Have you seen Wang Shilang?"
Yuan Sanniang hummed lightly, "At the banquet of the Wang family the year before last, I saw it from afar. β
"Then do you think my brother is good-looking, or is Wang Shishilang good-looking?" Zheng Sui was a little narrow, and his dark eyes rolled.
"It's all good-looking. β
As soon as these words fell, Zheng Sui shook his head, "No, my brother is better-looking." β
It's just that as soon as she heard this, Yuan Sanniang smiled, "Shi Niang, you say this, it's just selfishness, and no one in Jiankang City can tell the difference, so he gave him a reputation for the beauty of the wall." (To be continued......)
