Chapter Twenty-Six: A Chance Encounter
Huiyuan is very large, only to enter the park when the steward said that if this place is rough walking, it will take two or three days to finish, if you enjoy it slowly, I am afraid that it will take a year, after all, the scenery is different from time to time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhou Qin took the begonia grass and two little girls out of the house, and the flowers and green grass were blooming along the way, and even the green trees had more new leaves. Huiyuan has been built for forty or fifty years, and the small bridges and flowing water, the cloister arches, at first glance, have a bit of Jiangnan flavor.
Fangcao led the way in front, she identified the direction, compared the surrounding scenery one by one to introduce the place, and said the origin, all kinds of piles, or there are literati couplets, or there are the names of the pools given by Yashi, said in a similar way, and said: "I have asked, this is the path, the most time-saving, let's pass from here, less than two quarters of an hour to the jade pool, next to the jade pool is the lawn." ”
The further you go, the darker it gets, and this one is a tall forest, with evergreen leaves blocking the overhead, so that people can't tell whether it is blocking the light or whether it is really dark. When I got out of the forest, it rained lightly.
came out in a hurry, and the sky was bright again, so they didn't bring an oil umbrella, and a few people turned it over, and they had to take a light green mulslin cover to cover Zhou Qin's head, and after a while, the rain poured down, and it seemed to be pouring.
Begonias called the rain a pour, all of them fell into the soup like chickens, Zhou Qin's head was covered with fine yarn, the yarn was fine, it couldn't rain through, but the clothes were also wet, and there was a pavilion not far away, and he hurriedly called the girl to go to the pavilion to take shelter from the rain.
I was only halfway there, but I saw a tall man of about twenty coming in the rain around the corner, his face was as heavy as water, and his eyes swept to this side, which frightened the two little girls to stop. Zhou Qin sideways to the side to make way for him, the man passed by her, and when he looked closely, he felt that his facial features were tough, his pupils were like ink, although his clothes were not luxurious, but the workmanship was extremely fine, and the rain was soaked, and the moire pattern on the brocade robe was exquisite.
The man was drenched all over, and there was a sense of anger all over his body, he only glanced at Zhou Qin and a few people, his cold eyes were murderous, and he could see goosebumps on his skin.
The two sides were about to stagger apart, when they suddenly heard the sound of intricate footsteps behind the rockery, and someone shouted: "Shizi!" ”
After taking a look at the newcomers, Zhou Qin couldn't help but let out a "huh".
Two guards came out of the rockery, two more servants, and finally a panting old servant.
The two guards were about to chase after a few people, but when they saw Zhou Qin, they stopped and stood there with an awe-inspiring expression.
It was the two men in the "five-coin flower garden" by the Jinshui River, one of whom was entangled by Zhou Qin with several mistakes, and finally the old man in the flower garden broke the siege before leaving.
At that time, they looked like ordinary green forest heroes, but at this time, they just changed their clothes, but their temperament changed. And because of the rockery, and there are people here, all their reactions are natural, and they subconsciously stand and walk in the room, and they are quite like a military camp.
The two stopped, but the old servant didn't pay attention to them, but shouted as he ran, "Lord Shizi, it's raining heavily, let's go back to the pavilion to rest first, the old slave can't afford to toss this body!" ”
Zhou Qin thought that the man would ignore it, but who knew that he actually stopped, turned his head to look at this side, and ordered: "Send your Uncle Tao back to the pavilion to rest." After finishing speaking, he walked forward by himself.
The old servant was about to chase after him again, but he was grabbed by one arm by one of the two guards, and one said: "Uncle Tao, don't embarrass us, the prince asked you to go back to the pavilion, it's okay for you to follow, we have suffered from the seedlings." One person said: "Anyway, people have seen it, and your matter is over, with the face of the son of the world, if you really start a fire, it will be your errand that has been smashed." ”
The old servant couldn't shake it off twice, so he had to be held by the two, and said helplessly: "Let me down, I won't chase, I'll go to the porch over there to hide from the rain!" ”
The two of them carried him to the cloister at the other end, and the little servant had already followed his master.
After only stopping for a while, Zhou Qin felt a chill on his body, thinking that it was rainwater, and hurriedly walked towards the pavilion.
This pavilion is called Canglang Pavilion, and a pair of couplets are hung at the entrance, and the breeze and bright moon are priceless, and there is love near the water and mountains. The pavilion was not built very wide, and there were cloister benches around it, and there was a large round stone table in the middle, and several stone benches.
It was not empty, but a young girl was facing the entrance of the pavilion, sitting on a stone bench and weeping at the table. Behind the girl stood a girl and a grandmother, who was leaning over to comfort her, and handed her a handkerchief, but the girl ignored it.
The grandmother said, "The girl wiped her tears, okay, why not this." ”
The girl didn't get up, but just cried on the table. The girl next to her responded: "Girl, let's ignore him, it's him who has no eyes!" ”
For a while, the grandmother glanced at the girl with her eyes, and then persuaded: "Why bother, the son of the world is a person who does great things, and his heart and intestines don't have those twists and turns, he wants to look at you inside, this lonely man and widow are in the same room, it's not good in the end, so it's gone, isn't it ......" She said halfway, and saw Zhou Qin and a few people coming, but she stopped talking.
This embarrassing scene is in front of her, and it is not for people to enter, nor is it for people not to enter, seeing that the rain has not stopped, she gave Begonia a look.
Haitang stepped forward and blessed, and asked, "I don't know if this place is inconvenient for our girl to borrow a place to shelter from the rain?" ”
The girl heard the voice of the outsider, and hurriedly turned around and tried to cry, and another girl stepped forward to help her. But the grandmother replied, "It's too polite, it's not our pavilion, it's raining so hard, come in and hide." ”
Zhou Qin entered the pavilion, only to see a yaoqin on the stone table, and lit incense with the incense burner of the white crane looking up to the sky. Zhou Qin didn't like to use incense, and felt that the smell was uncomfortable, so she only bought a little preparation for Mrs. Zhao's use in the house, she remembered that this Shen Naoxiang only had a piece of silver as big as a fingernail, so she turned around to look at the Yaoqin, and saw that the handle was engraved with a cloud pattern, and knew that it was the handwriting of the master luthier Wang Yifu.
While she was speculating, the girl had finished tidying up and turned her head.
It turned out to be Yang Miaofang, the eldest girl of Yang Hanlin's family, she had a goose egg face, beautiful facial features, and looked seven or eight points in her appearance, because the makeup was made up in a hurry, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen.
Zhou Qin hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, vaguely confusing what had just happened.
At this moment, one of the two felt embarrassed, and the other felt embarrassed, and chatted about some weather and scenery, but they were not interested in talking any further. I saw that the rain was gradually getting lighter, and I was afraid that I would have to wait a little longer to stop, and it was really cramped to sit like this, so Zhou Qin picked a topic that could not be wronged, "I see that this is a piano made by Master Yifu, right?" I heard that he has rarely done it himself in recent years. ”
Yang Miaofang breathed a sigh of relief, she was only worried that the other party would ask about the matter, but now that she had opened her mind, she hurriedly continued: "I did it a few years ago, my father asked for it for me, and it took a lot of effort to get it, and I was afraid of bumping it out this time." ”
