Chapter 40: Going to the Appointment: Goodbye Linyuan
Jiang Kuo probably took pity on me for being hit to the point that I was not human, or didn't want to see my crying face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info in short, he never came to persecute me again, disturb me. Yue'er wasn't as careful about me as she used to be.
I know we're all waiting for a day when the full moon night will be a special day for a few of us who are struggling with uneasiness. It may have made a completely different difference to me.
I was expectant, nervous, and even deeply afraid.
I can't just wait, life goes on and doing nothing only makes me more honestly afraid. What's more, I still have things to do.
Jiang Kuo's relaxation made me breathe a sigh of relief, Yue'er was often arranged by him to go out to do things, and only came back at night, and the two little maids were probably too young, and saw that I didn't like others to serve, and I was quite able to take care of myself, and gradually became tired. Sometimes I read and write all day in my room, and they don't find it strange.
That's a good thing for me.
Listening to the rain pavilion as a whole is divided into two courtyards, the father and mother lived in the backyard before, and now the people are gone.
I went to the backyard to take a look and found that the backyard was actually a treasure trove of feng shui. It relies on rockeries, and behind them are the endless green trees. The view is outstanding, the birdsong is melodious, and the point is: there is a small door in the backyard.
This small door is located in the middle of nowhere, probably not used on weekdays, it is in disrepair, and it is a little old, but it can still be pushed open. Behind the small gate, because there are rockeries and woods around, it is a remote place and very hidden.
It's the right time.
So I finally made a few days of preparations, and solemnly told the two little girls that from today onwards I will devote myself to research, and I will be closed from morning to night, and no one can disturb me, and even when I eat, I just let them prepare convenient snacks and put them in advance.
Yue'er is not here, it is much easier to deal with the two little maids, they looked at me with admiration on their faces, "Hey, how many talented women are there in our Jiang family!"
To be on the safe side, I closed the doors and windows again, and then I changed into a light suit and sneaked out of the backyard.
I ran almost all the way out, the free air overflowing my nostrils, the smell of long-lost happiness.
God knows how anxious I am these days.
I walked cautiously through the woods, and after a pillar of incense it took me a pillar of incense to find a very narrow path, and I looked left and right, and rejoiced again: this was the way I had come back from the Linyuan piano room that day!
And it seems to be much closer than going around to Jiang Xinju and coming back.
I eagerly walked forward, full of anticipation and nervousness, wondering if the lonely and sad man who was as lonely as the moonlight was still there.
Because of physical and objective factors, I didn't show up the day after the appointment, and now I finally have a chance to get out, but more than half a month has passed.
Thinking of the reluctance and vague uneasiness on his face when I left that day, my heart became more and more tight. The more you don't want to miss the appointment, the more you miss the appointment.
Finally, after I had walked slowly along the winding path for half a column of incense, the moss-colored stone arch bridge loomed under the shade of willow branches.
At this time, the sun is just right, the clear lake under the arch bridge is dotted with dots, slightly rippling, the green willow branches are gently swaying in the breeze, the sun makes the original greenery more charming and moving, and one or two small birds on the branches are crying happily as if to welcome my arrival...... What a hopeful picture! The bad mood accumulated over the days is gone, and I am the happy me again.
It dawned on me that I had come to the right place, and that this trip was worth it, whether my brother was still there or not, because I found it to be a wonderful place to heal wounds.
I stood there with my eyes closed and took a deep breath of this wonderful air, and then slowly walked towards the stone bridge, like a lover after a long absence, I gently and affectionately touched every inch of the bridge, and my footsteps gently fell on the steps.
Turning around, the road when I came became so beautiful in the haze, the branches in front of me were fluttering, and my heart rippled slightly: once, maybe there was a young woman like me standing on the bridge and gently playing with the willow branches with her fingertips, and on her side, her beauty looked at her gently and dotingly, and suddenly the appearance of the man in white Yushu in the wind suddenly appeared in my mind, and then Bowen smiled, and in a flash, it became the desperate expression when I finally saw him. Feeling a little lost in my heart, I raised my head to look at the branches in front of me, smiled at myself, and continued to climb the stairs.
But as soon as I lowered my head, I froze, slowly raised my head again, dressed in pure white clothes, the fabric was of high quality, the waist was tied up with a ribbon of the same color, and a white jade ornament hung on the waist, faintly visible was the appearance of a chrysanthemum, two hands were gently behind me, and then looked up, handsome face, overflowing sad eyes, half of the black hair was slightly pulled up with a white ribbon, and the other half was hanging on the shoulder, the whole person was calm and leisurely, standing quietly, silently.
It was him! A flash of joy flashed in his heart, but then it was replaced by uneasiness, only for the unknown look on his face.
I stopped three or four steps from the top of the bridge and stood still, raised my head slightly, looked up calmly at the quiet man on the top of the bridge who was moving out of the dust in the sun, and waited silently.
The man above looked at me quietly for a while, the sadness in his eyes was still there, but there seemed to be a trace of joy, and finally he sighed slightly, but did not speak, turned around and walked down the bridge towards the Linyuan piano room not far away.
I breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to follow.
He entered the piano room, stood still, tilted his head slightly, and when he saw me standing two feet away from him, he continued to walk inside.
At this time, I realized that the Linyuan piano room was not just as big as the piano room, he gently pushed open a door, squeaked, bird chirping and sunlight kept rushing in, and the originally quiet and slightly dark piano room suddenly came full of life.
He gently flicked the curtain and walked in slowly, leaving the low-hanging curtain clanging. I stood still, hesitant to follow.
At this time, he folded back again, pulled up the drooping curtains and hung them on the mandarin duck hook, and didn't say much, but I knew that he was asking me to follow up.
Stepping out of the door to see, it is an open courtyard, with flowers and green grass, birds singing and flowers, and the scenery is very good.
I looked at it for a moment, and followed him towards a low table. There was a teapot and a few wine glasses on the table, all of which were very stylish, and it seemed that its owner seemed to be a person who knew tea and would enjoy life.
I said how could such a desolate place have such a luxurious independent piano room, which turned out to be an annex to the luxurious courtyard. Moreover, although no one prunes any grass and trees in this courtyard, they are not mundane things, and it seems that the people who live in this courtyard should also have great status.
It's just that there is no one else in sight in this huge courtyard, which seems a little surprising. But because of this, it is more tranquil and detached, but it is a good place to recuperate. Dare to ask such a clean place with excellent scenery and fresh air without being disturbed, not to mention how many places can there be in the luxurious and prosperous Jiangfu, even in the entire city of Hangzhou?
By the time I thought so, I was already sitting with him on either side of the low table.
He gently twisted the teapot and poured some into the teacup, and I quickly held the small cups one by one with my hands as a sign of respect.
He paused for a moment, but he didn't stop me, he didn't look at me, but he said to me, "It's a little colder, isn't it?"
The tension in my heart was slightly reduced by half, and I was silent for a while, and then replied, "If it was before, maybe some, but now I just think it's just right." ”
He continued to move his hand, and the corners of his lips seemed to loosen slightly, "That's fine." ”
I thought he would ask me about the past few days, but when I saw that he didn't mention it, I was relieved, but I was faintly disappointed.
He didn't speak, and I didn't dare to act rashly, but I just cooperated with him to fill up the teacups one by one.
