Chapter 161: Reluctance
If Empress Chu was on her side, she might have seen Su Guangfu's eyes flickering, and what she said was not what she was talking about. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When it comes to fighting wits and courage, Chu Zhaohui will always be the one who will not be able to save people's minds.
Seeing that Su Guangfu said sincerely, she felt more and more that this person was good, so she naturally smiled and responded: "There is no problem with this, when the time comes, I will ask the housekeeper in the house to do it, and I will make sure that my husband and his family live satisfactorily." ”
The big thing is over, and Chu Zhaohui, who is not close to the clan, is even more reluctant to stay here, and also discussed with Su Duhan, set a return date as soon as possible, and returned to the palace after two days.
People walk tea cool. As soon as he left, he would never see the people in the clan again, Chu Zhaohui stood in front of the Xifu begonia, watching the flowers and branches of the tree blooming, hiding his heart and saying goodbye to it silently.
At that time, the patriarch's wife made a special trip to accompany Chu Zhaohui and Wen Wan to dine.
Wen Wan tasted the chrysanthemum mille-feuille cake specially ordered by the patriarch's wife, chewed the golden dried petals and crispy thin skin on it, and said with some regret: "I have lived for more than ten days, but I am reluctant to leave, such as this chrysanthemum cake, although there is also it in the palace, it is not the taste grown in my own chrysanthemum garden." ”
Wen Wan's eyes turned slightly red, for fear of making Chu Zhaohui sad, so she used soup to cover up the fog in her eyes.
Chu Zhaohui has always known gentle and long-term affection, and he repays the kindness of his dripping water back then. Unexpectedly, in the past few days, he has a very good relationship with the patriarch's wife and the sisters in the clan.
She is not a serious girl from the Su family, and this sincere treatment must also be for herself. Thinking of this, Chu Zhaohui felt distressed and patted his gentle hand to show comfort.
The patriarch's wife has always felt gentle and kind, and when she saw her showing her true feelings like this, she was also distressed, and persuaded: "Cangnan is not too far from the imperial city, and it is only a dozen days away. If my wife allows, I will pick up Miss Wan in the autumn to come back to enjoy the chrysanthemums, and I will make chrysanthemum cakes for the girl to eat. ”
Wen Wan's eyes were full of water, she bowed her head shyly and smiled slightly, very reluctantly, and said softly: "After returning to Beijing, the affairs are complicated, I'm afraid I won't be able to make the trip, and I will worry about Mrs. in vain."
Thinking that Wen Wan would be canonized after she went back, and she couldn't go out of Beijing without permission, Chu Zhaohui couldn't accept it for her at will. had no choice but to divert the topic of the patriarch's wife, and smiled at Wen Wan: "Otherwise, tomorrow my mother will guard the pearl and pack her luggage, so you and the girls will go to the chrysanthemum garden again, okay?" ”
Before Wen Wan could reply, the patriarch's wife clapped her hands and smiled: "This is very good, and the girls in the clan also regret that they have not been close to Miss Wan." I summoned a few clever people to accompany Miss Wan to walk in the garden again, and it was not in vain to come back. ”
Seeing that Wen Wan admired the deliciousness of the chrysanthemum cake, the patriarch's wife pointed to the pastries on the table and said: "This chrysanthemum cake is still eye-catching, tomorrow I will make two more cages, and keep the lady and the girl to eat on the road, which is also a thought." ”
Wen Wan smiled, thanked the patriarch's wife for her kindness, and when she finished dinner, she went back to her room to pack the clothes she was going to wear for the next day.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, a few girls from the clan came to greet Chu Zhaohui, and by the way, invited Wen Wan to go to the chrysanthemum garden at the foot of the mountain to have a look.
I've been there before, and the road is not unfamiliar. Several girls took two carriages, and the patriarch's wife followed with the old and respectful people, talking and laughing and walking towards the chrysanthemum garden.
The two people in the same car with Wen Wan, one calling Hongfu and the other calling Fusang, had already seen them a few days ago. Both of them are good-looking, gentle and generous, polite in conversation, and have a very similar interest in Wen Wan.
Hongfu is a little talkative, and listens to her all the way. When it comes to her own chrysanthemum garden, Hongfu is very proud: "In autumn, dozens of acres of chrysanthemum fields bloom together, and even those official wives come to appreciate the chrysanthemums." The patriarch was afraid that the good flowers would be ruined, so he only divided the small chrysanthemum garden in the west and built a few pavilions for them to enjoy the flowers. ”
Wen Wan agreed: "This is also the patriarch's thoughtfulness, although we are not the magistrates, after all, under their jurisdiction, it is still necessary to move around appropriately." ”
Fusang played with his Hangzhou silk handkerchief embroidered with golden thread chrysanthemum on the white background of the moon, and nodded again and again when he heard it: "Miss Wan said this very much, some clansmen don't like to watch those noble ladies come to the chrysanthemum garden to swagger, and the patriarch is also like this." ”
Wen Wan said with a smile: "It must be the patriarch who is thoughtful, where do I know this, but I often hear others talk about the truth of being kind to people everywhere." When it comes to appreciating chrysanthemums, I envy my sisters even more to live here, and when I open the door, I can pick chrysanthemums under the east fence and see the interest of Nanshan leisurely. ”
A line said, a line of money from the sleeve took two delicate embroidery purses, and gave them to Hongfu and Fusang: "This time I came back, I was fortunate to make two good sisters with similar feelings." Tomorrow is about to be separated, and the younger sister has prepared a small gift, and the two sisters don't dislike it. ”
When the two of them opened it, the one-color Pisces arch lotus jade jade pendant, the lotus flower carved vividly, and there was also an east pearl the size of a lotus seed rice embedded in the middle, which was very valuable at a glance, and the gift that was distributed to the sisters in the clan was different from the gift that day.
After a few pushes, Hongfu and Fusang still disrespectfully put away the gifts, feeling a little closer to Wen Wan. Several people are more and more reluctant to separate, and they also make an appointment to communicate with each other often in the future, and take care of each other.
Hongfu and Fusang were both born in the old mansion, grew up in the old mansion, never stepped out of Cangnan, heard Wen Wan's description of the imperial city, and listened to it with bright eyes and yearning for it, just like Grandma Liu first entered the Grand View Garden.
Regarding Wen Wan's invitation to the imperial city, knowing that most of it was verbal politeness, the two of them were still quite tempted.
Hongfu took the gentle hand and asked her to come back in the autumn: "If Miss Wan is free, come and see in the autumn." At that time, our garden was the most beautiful, and the chrysanthemums in the greenhouse were in different forms, red, yellow, dark green, sapphire blue, all kinds of colors, but unfortunately if they were all small seedlings. ”
Accompanied by the Su clan, the gentle footsteps were naturally not limited to the chrysanthemum garden in the west of Hongfu's mouth, everyone walked from west to east, walked the chrysanthemum garden, and then entered the innermost rows of greenhouses to rest.
There are chrysanthemum seedlings in the greenhouse, and there are also precious orchids, peonies, lilies, lavender and other colorful flowers.
Seeing that the gentle eyes wandered on those precious orchids, and threw at a few plants of Mo Lan that did not grow very well next to them, his eyes were full of doubts, and the mothers-in-law had the intention to show off, and one of them stepped forward to solve the puzzle: "The county lady of Zhengyang here loves flowers a lot, but she is not good at raising them, so she will raise a few pots of Mo Lan in the house in our chrysanthemum garden, and move back to see the flowers before the Spring Festival every year, and then send them back after reading them." ”
The woman pointed to the half-withered leaves and said to Wen Wan: "Look, girl, it's only been a few months, and the orchid has been raised like this, and we need to recondition it." ”
Wen Wan followed their words for a while, then praised the craftsmanship of a few mothers-in-law to serve flowers and plants, and took a few purses wrapped in silver bills as rewards. (To be continued.) )
