Chapter 61: Houhai

The capital, which was originally a little warm, was cooled by the continuous light rain for several days, and in the early morning, the brocade branch picked the window, and a warm breeze carried a faint mud fragrance into the house, blowing the tassels under the glass lamp gently swaying.

Gu Yanling walked a few games of chess, and felt a little troubled, so he loosened his fingers, threw the chess pieces into the chess box, and then straightened his dress, and while getting off the beauty couch, he looked at Yu Bi and said: "Cover it with a chess cover, and take a look at it at night." ”

Libi stepped forward in response, Gu Yanling had already gotten up and walked to the window, there was a water glass bowl on the table under the window, in which there were a few goldfish, silver white, black with red stripes, Gu Yanling pinched some fish food from the small celadon cup next to the glass bowl, rubbed between his fingers, and the fish food was scattered into the water.

A few fishes swung their paper-thin tails and swayed to the surface, and the fish's mouths closed and swallowed the fish food cleanly.

At this moment, Gu Yanling noticed that a brisk step was coming towards the house, followed by Brother Yu'er's voice with great interest.

"Eldest sister. ”

As soon as the words fell, the curtain was opened, and the neatly dressed Brother Yu walked in with a childish smile.

Gu Yanling's lips couldn't help but lift lightly, patted the fish food on his hand clean, took the handkerchief and wiped his hand, then beckoned Brother Yu'er over, walked to the window and sat down, and said, "Why is this coming, I can't go to today's morning class?"

Brother Yu happily stepped forward and took Gu Yanling's hand and said: "The prince of Fengguo is here, and he invited the sisters and brothers from each room to swim in Houhai, and my grandmother told us to come back early, and the eldest sister should change her clothes quickly, and the eldest brother is waiting in Ningde Courtyard." ”

Xue Yuan?

Gu Yanling's brows were almost imperceptibly furrowed, and she was completely repulsed in her heart, but seeing that the weather was easier and more refreshing these days, the sun was just right, and Brother Yu in front of her was full of interest, but I was afraid that if she said that if she didn't go, Brother Yu would have no heart to go.

Gu Yanling groaned, and finally smiled dotingly: "Okay, you wait here for me to change my clothes, let's have a good turn today." ”

When Brother Yu saw that the eldest sister agreed, he immediately stroked his palms happily and smiled.

Gu Yanling smiled helplessly, and entered the inner room by Libi and Jiang Zhu, and changed into a Liuxian painting skirt with ink and danqing, and then covered with a flower cage skirt woven by a soft and thin transparent monofilament, and a good-looking cloud hair was tied up with an azure soft smoke ribbon, and when she walked, she looked like a goddess walking down from the painting.

Hazy but fairy.

Walking out from behind the screen, Brother Yu'er, who was eating snacks on the table, looked up, immediately patted the dim sum residue on his hand, stepped forward and hugged Gu Yanling, and said without modesty with a small face: "The eldest sister is the best-looking." ”

Gu Yanling was amused by the child, and couldn't help pinching Brother Yu'er's little face and said, "Our Brother Yu is also the best-looking." ”

Brother Yu grinned when he heard this, and immediately grabbed Gu Yanling's hand and urged: "Eldest sister, let's go, eldest brother and they should be in a hurry." ”

In the end, it was a child, when it came to playing with all his strength, Gu Yanling was dragged to Ningde Courtyard by Brother Yu like this.

When I arrived at Ningde Courtyard, sure enough, the concubines from all the rooms came, even Gu Yanjin and Gu Yanchao, who were grounded.

After all, the prince personally invited, and one or two did not go, which is indeed suspicious. In this regard, Gu Yanling was not surprised.

Everyone greeted each other, and Mrs. Fu had to say a few words, so she happily let go.

When the carriage and horses arrived in Houhai, the accompanying Libi first lifted the curtain and got out of the car, set up a footstool, and then carefully helped Gu Yanling down.

Houhai east from Cheng'anmen Street, west to the mouth of the back street, the eyes go away, ten miles of long causeway, weeping willows blow the shore, the warm breeze wraps the warm sun, with a faint water vapor on the face, the verdant and tender buds of the willow branches fall on the surface of the blue waves, sometimes ripples in a circle, the funny fish sometimes float on the water, sometimes sink to the bottom, it seems to be playing with people. Occasionally, a few insect chirps came from the wet part of the grass, which was indeed very pleasant and comfortable.

And on both sides of the strait, there are wine shops and tea shops everywhere, Yingge Loutai, accidentally step into the surrounding alleys, it is the smell of snacks, with glutinous rice pounded into powder steamed and twisted into fritters, fried golden, and then roll a circle of oats, rock sugar, peanuts, walnuts crushed into powdered sugar dumplings, as well as sesame, peanuts, rock sugar as filling, crispy outside, bite down, soft and glutinous oil cake inside. (Note: The food here is a special snack in her hometown, which is her favorite in her childhood, and she has an endless aftertaste~)

It's a favorite place for kids and girls.

This time, the sun shines on the blue water waves of the Houhai Sea, flashing with a leaping light, several imitation Qinhuai painting boats stop in the middle, the flower window, the faint sound of pipa across the water, into the shore, followed by the tactful and soft Wu Nong minor, let people trance, only to the Qinhuai River.

"It's been a few days since I came to Houhai. ”

Gu Zihan was wearing a plain green brocade robe, walked in front with Xue Yuan, said with a smile, and then turned his head to Gu Yanling, who was walking behind, and said, "I still remember that you like to eat sugar dumplings in the alley at the corner of the street." ”

"As for Brother Yu-"

Gu Zihan turned to look at Brother Yu'er, who was tugging at Gu Yanling's sleeve, and said, "I still remember that our Brother Yu was burned by the hot syrup in the oil cake. ”

Gu Yanling couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips when she heard this, and laughed out loud, Brother Yu was a little embarrassed, hugged Gu Yanling tightly, and muttered with a small face: "Big brother likes to laugh at me." ”

The child's appearance made everyone laugh.

After a while, Zi asked a few servants to buy these snacks for Miss Ling and Brother Yu'er, and sent them to taste. ”

Xue Yuan on the side glanced at the silent girl in front of him, and then looked at Brother Yu'er, who was suddenly overjoyed when he heard the words, and the corners of his lips were noncommittal, and sure enough, children are much easier to please.

Immediately, Xue Yuan pointed to the painting boat parked on the shore not far away with a folding fan and said: "The painting boat has been booked, let's go up here, this is the best way to swim in the lake." ”

Gu Yan's eyes were bright, there was only one Xue Yuan in her eyes at the moment, and the people next to her were already air to her, hearing Xue Yuan's arrangement, she couldn't help blushing slightly and lowering her chin, looking forward to the next relationship.

After everyone carefully got on the deck and entered the second floor of the inner room, the boat slowly sailed away from the river bank and headed for the center.

The second floor of the painting boat is spacious and bright, and the furnishings are simple and stylish. Xue Yuan invited everyone to sit around the table, and then there was a tray of girls who had been waiting for a long time, except for some seasonal melons and fruits snacks, it was a plate of golden and fatty steamed crabs.

Then the girls carefully placed a plate of shredded ginger, Zhenjiang vinegar, fresh soy sauce and dipping sauce stirred with sugar on the table, and the "eight crabs" for eating crabs were placed at hand, all available.

"This is Fang from the south of the water, that's all, please try it. ”

Looking at the crabs that are still steaming and wrapped in the fragrance of crabs, it is indeed appetizing. But in the end, they are all people in everyone's boudoir, and it is not easy to move this first chopstick.

Xue Yuan glanced at it, then got up with a smile and sent the first crab to Brother Yu'er's plate.

"Brother Yu'er, try it, which is better between the crabs here and the oil cakes at the entrance of the street. ”

Brother Yu was originally young, and seeing that Xue Yuan in front of him did not have the slightest frame of the world, he was extremely approachable, and he couldn't help but feel a little good, and suddenly smiled with a small face: "Ah Yu Xie Shizi." ”

Seeing this, Xue Yuan's lips raised slightly.

"Since my eldest brother and I have been friends for many years, there is no need to be so angry, just call me brother. ”

When Brother Yu heard this, he didn't think much about it, nodded again and smiled: "Brother Shizi." ”

Xue Yuan smiled warmly, then sat back and said to Gu Zihan beside him: "You and I have been classmates for many years, so you don't need me to be polite." ”

Gu Zihan was originally straightforward, so he smiled and said, "That's natural." ”

As he spoke, Gu Zihan sent one to Gu Yanling, Gu Yanling took it with a smile, and when he looked down, he couldn't help but darken his eyes when he saw the crab on Brother Yu'er's plate.

But it was only for a moment, Gu Yanling hid the gloom in his eyes, elegantly picked up the waist hammer and tapped the edge of the crab's back shell, and then carefully pried the back shell with a long-handled axe, and then used the silver skewer to remove the fat and tender meat in the crab's belly, used a silver tweezer to remove the cold crab gills, and finally scraped out the crab roe with a long-handled spoon, and then sent his plate to Brother Yu'er, and replaced Brother Yu'er's plate of crabs that had not yet been processed in front of him.

When Brother Yu saw such a fine crab meat being processed in front of him, he couldn't help but want to refuse.

"Eldest sister, let's eat first, I'll let Zhilan get it." ”

Gu Yanling smiled when he heard this, gently stroked Brother Yu'er's head and said, "Eat, what do you refuse with your eldest sister, wait a little longer, if you eat it when it gets cold for a while, it will hurt your stomach." ”

Seeing this, Brother Yu no longer insisted, and only smiled and said, "Thank you, eldest sister." ”

Gu Yanling smiled and nodded "um", and Brother Yu buried his head and ate very happily.

"Last time, I only felt that Brother Han and Miss Ling had a deep love for brother and sisterβ€”"

Xue Yuan said lightly to Gu Zihan beside him with a smile, and then his eyes turned, and he looked at Gu Yanling beside Gu Zihan and said: "I saw you today, I only think that Miss Ling's thoughtfulness towards Brother Yu is also enviable." ”

As soon as the words fell, the movements of the people on the table couldn't help but stop, Gu Yanjin glanced at him as if unintentionally, and then lowered his eyes, but it was a smile full of deep meaning.

Gu Yanchao naturally pursed his lips disapprehantly, although he habitually wanted to respond to Gu Yanling for a sentence or two, but in front of Xue Yuan, he had to take care of his image, his lips moved, and he endured it after all.

Gu Zihan on the side didn't see anything unusual, and said with a smile: "When I beat Xiao Ah Jiu, I love Brother Yu very much, and I look like an eldest sister." ”

When Xue Yuan heard this, he looked at Gu Yanling with a smile, but Gu Yanling was quite calm, only his lips were slightly floating, and he looked at Gu Zihan and said, "Big brother, this is urging me." ”

At this time, Brother Yu stopped, took time to raise his little face and said: "Big brother always likes to laugh at us, the eldest sister has the appearance of the eldest sister, but the eldest brother does not have the appearance of the eldest brother." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing.
