Chapter 505 Seated
Seeing that the joy in Lan Xin's eyes did not seem to be fake, Mrs. Ouyang was even more ironed in her heart. With a smile, he beckoned Lan Xin to walk up the attic.
Lan Xin reached out and lifted her skirt and walked up the steps. Even though the two of them were chatting while walking, they didn't walk fast, but their steps were getting heavier and heavier, and they were a little overwhelmed.
The two silently climbed upward, and when they reached the top floor, they were both ruddy and out of breath.
"Hehe!" looked at the other party's red cheeks, forehead, and thin sweat on the tip of his nose, and couldn't help but smile at each other. The strangeness between each other seems to have shortened a lot.
The two of them came to the railing together. The cool breeze gives people an indescribable comfort.
In the distance, the courtyards with blue tiles and white walls are staggered and connected together, rockeries and gardens are dotted among them, and the flowers in the flower beds compete for beauty and beauty.
"It really deserves to be a big family with a century-old inheritance, and this majestic momentum is not comparable to those small families. Lan Xin raised his hand and gently brushed the hair from his mouth behind his ear, and sighed with a smile.
"Hehe, Lan Xin has won the prize. The fifth lady covered her mouth with a fan and said with a smile, "The big family has the momentum of the big family, and the small family has the benefits of the small family." ”
"Jingle bells" A pleasant ringing sound came from the lake below. Lan Xin craned her neck curiously to look. I saw small boats shuttling between the lotus leaves, like fish swimming among the lotus leaves.
The boat docked under Mengxin Xiaozhu, and the boat lady took out the bell in her sleeve and shook it gently. A rope slowly descended from the top floor of the attic to the ship.
The boat lady grabbed the other end of the rope, tied the food box to the rope, tied the knot, and shook the bell again. The man on the top of the attic pulled the rope and slowly lifted the food box up.
Lan Xin smiled and praised: "The way of passing food in Auntie's house is very peculiar!"
Fifth Lady Ouyang said with a smile: "These fresh melons and fruits are all made of well water, if they are sent up layer by layer along the steps of the attic, they will not be as refreshing as this." ”
A housekeeper's mother came up and curtsied and said, "Madam, the feast is ready." ”
"Hmm!" The fifth lady nodded lightly and said to Lan Xin, "Then let's move over." ”
The vases on the high tables in the four corners of the hall were filled with blooming flowers, some of which even had crystal dew on their petals. Fragrant and refreshing.
Lan Xin's location is right under the window. The bamboo curtain of Xiangfei is half rolled and hung on the window, which not only blocks the sunlight shining from outside, but also does not delay enjoying the scenery outside. After Lan Xin sat down, he quietly looked at the dishes on the table. Secretly satisfied in my heart, it seems that Mrs. Ouyang has really put some thought into it.
The fifth lady is very talkative, and tries her best to pick out some things about the folk customs of Dayu to tell Lan Xin. Lan Xin was new to the city, and he didn't know much about it, and he just needed this information.
So, one person spoke wittily, and the other listened attentively. The two of them had a harmonious atmosphere and enjoyed each other.
Halfway through the banquet, the little maid opened the bead curtain, and after saluting respectfully, she reported: "Madam, the fifth master has just come back from outside the mansion, and I heard that you are entertaining Miss Yu at the banquet." I wanted to come over and say hello to Miss Yu. The old man said that he had always remembered the kindness of the old man Yu. Now, Miss Yu is coming to the house, so ······"
"Is the master back?" the fifth lady asked with a look of surprise, and after hearing the little maid's words, she looked at Lan Xin with an embarrassed face, "Lan Xin, do you ······see this matter?"
Lan Xin played with the wine glass in his hand, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes, and he was worried about how to find an excuse to meet Ouyang Fifth Master after eating? Unexpectedly, the opportunity came like this.
The fifth master was so anxious to see himself, presumably because he saw the gift he brought. Looking at the expectant look on the fifth lady's face, I have to admire her superb acting skills.
His heart turned back and forth, but his face was silent, and he said with a sincere smile: "In our Great Sect Dynasty, the defense of men and women is not strict. If not, I wouldn't have traveled so far by myself.
Besides, Fifth Master Ouyang is also my elder, and I should have visited him······"
"It's okay, it's okay. The fifth lady didn't wait for Lan Xin to finish speaking, so she smiled and waved her hand and said, for fear that Lan Xin would not be able to think of turning people away. "Everyone is not an outsider, and everyone who sees them is the same. ”
glared fiercely at the little maid who was still there, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you invite the master in?"
Lan Xin looked at the back of the little maid leaving, and thought to herself: How impatient is the fifth lady?!
After a while, the crisp sound of bead curtains colliding sounded at the door. The little maid bowed down and lifted the curtain, and the fifth master walked in.
Lan Xin smiled and stood up from the circle chair, quietly looking at the person in front of him. Ouyang Wu is of middle and high stature, slightly chubby, and his face is ruddy. A pair of slender eyes reveal shrewdness, and the slightly raised corners of his eyes make people feel that he is smiling all the time, and it is easy to get close to.
While Lan Xin was looking at the other party, the fifth master was also looking at her. The person in front of him looked like he was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender figure and skin like congealed cream. A sky-blue dress, like a branch and a tree, is planted between the green mountains and green waters, and the essence of heaven and earth is fully appreciated.
Fifth Master Ouyang's eyes couldn't help but narrow, she was really a girl full of aura! With such a look and bearing, it was difficult to find one in the entire Ningyang County. He has traveled north and south for so many years, and he has seen countless women. There has never been a person who can make himself stunned like the person in front of him.
When Mrs. Ouyang saw that the fifth old man squinted his eyes slightly, and his hand unconsciously stroked the well-maintained beard on his chin, the alarm bell in her heart rang out. She has been married to the fifth master for many years, and she knows his unconscious little actions well.
She leaned next to the fifth master and said with a smile: "Master, this is Lan Xin, the niece of the Yu family. She deliberately bit the word "niece" very hard.
He turned his head to Lan Xin and said, "Lan Xin, this is your Uncle Ouyang." ”
Lan Xincai didn't care about the careful thinking between their husband and wife, with a decent smile on his face, and said in a soft voice: "Lan Xin has seen Uncle Ouyang. ”
"Good, good, good!" Ouyang Wu said three good words in a row, with a smile on his face, and said in a hearty voice, "Lan Xin's niece has the demeanor of Brother Yu back then!"
"Uncle Ouyang has won the award, and his father's look is only admired. It can't be compared. Lan Xin's smile remained unchanged, and he said in a low voice.
