Chapter 81: Leisurely
Chapter 81 leisurely
Mrs. Zhou's eyes shrank slightly, her face tightened, staring at Mama Zhou, Mama Zhou sighed bitterly,
"Originally, I didn't dare to think about it, but for no reason, Miss Biao's reward was five taels of silver, but the mother-in-law of the Suluo Pavilion saw her enter the courtyard with her own eyes, Madame knows, yesterday, Young Master Cousin and Zhou Gongzi came back early, Madam, this matter, alas, such a thing, where can I slack off half a point? Early this morning, I asked people to inquire about this matter, this is related to the reputation of our ancient family."
Mrs. Zhou's breath became short, and she suddenly raised her hand and slapped Mama Zhou in the face
Mama Zhou covered her face and was dumbfounded, Mrs. Zhou gasped, her fingers trembled slightly and pointed at Mama Zhou and scolded:
"A minion, if you turn against you, Miss Cousin is also something you can check? The master's words and deeds are in charge of you as a slave? I respect you for being an old man, but I respect you for the demon moth, you are a splash minion, there is no evidence, you dare to arrange the master, dare to blatantly check the whereabouts of the master to catch up with Ming'er, do you want to find out my head, find out the head of the ancestor? No matter how good my sex is, I can't tolerate a slave like you who deceives the master."
Lan Ruo took the girl's mother-in-law and hurriedly entered the house, lowered her hands and waited for the order, Mrs. Zhou panted, raised her hand and knelt on the ground, Mama Zhou, who looked stunned, dazed, and at a loss, commanded with hatred on her face:
"If I spare you, Ming'er will be able to turn against the sky in this house, drag out all the rumors, and beat me with twenty sticks"
The two mothers-in-law stepped forward and dragged Mama Zhou out, Mama Zhou came to her senses, and her frightened voice was sharp and begged for mercy.
"Madame spared the slave and maid, I don't dare anymore, the slave and maid are wrong, Madame spares her life"
The mother-in-law next to her looked at Mrs. Zhou hesitantly, and Mrs. Zhou pounded the couch hatefully and shouted:
"Drag it out, drag it out"
The mother-in-law next to her hurriedly stepped forward to block Mama Zhou's mouth and dragged her out hard, Mrs. Zhou gasped, turned her head, looked at Lan Ruo and commanded fiercely:
"You go and call those minions to come in and watch me and give me orders, whoever dares to bully the master again, who dares to chew the root of his tongue again, will be beaten to death immediately with a stick."
Lan Ruo's body trembled slightly, and he respectfully agreed and withdrew.
The news of Mama Zhou's beating spread all over the ancient mansion, and Mrs. Li listened to Cuilian's report, and her eyelids did not raise, she smiled and shook her head gently,
"If you can grow a little bit in the future, it will be in vain."
Cuilian laughed and listened to Mrs. Li's whisper as if talking to herself, and her heart moved slightly.
At the end of winter, her eyebrows flew and Li Xiaonuan was talking lively, Li Xiaonuan was crooked on the couch, eating dried apricots, holding a book and looking at it, and pouting at the end of winter,
"Girl, did you listen to me?"
"Listen, you say it."
Li Xiaonuan nodded absentmindedly and said, leaning over at the end of winter, reaching out and snatching the book from Li Xiaonuan's hand,
"It's such a big thing, the girl has to listen to me."
Li Xiaonuan bit the dried apricots in her mouth, straightened up with a smile, spread her hands and said:
"Isn't it Mama Zhou who was beaten? It's not a big deal."
"Why isn't it a big deal? Lan Ruoke passed on Mrs. 's words, Mama Zhou was beaten because she bullied the master, everyone knows that Mama Zhou deceived the girl."
"Huh? So what? ”
Li Xiaonuan asked casually, suffocated at the end of winter, and looked at Li Xiaonuan helplessly and sighed,
"Mama Zhou has been beaten, look back and see who dares to look down on the girl for half a point"
"Alas, silly late winter, you, just as if this incident didn't happen today, you have to be more careful in the future."
Li Xiaonuan smiled bitterly and sighed,
"Today's incident must have been postponed from last night's incident with Mrs. Qiao, that Zhou Mama probably thought that I went to the Suo Luo Pavilion in private, thinking that I must have a plan, and I went to sue my wife, but I just suffered a loss and missed it for a while."
At the end of winter, he pouted, looking at Li Xiaonuan with some unconvinced, Li Xiaonuan leaned idly on the couch, took a piece of dried apricot and put it in his mouth, and then said:
"Madame is afraid of pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, are you really because Mama Zhou is bullying the master? I am a wild girl selected by my ancestors, an orphan girl who is attached to the ancient family for warmth, this identity can't change, and everything else can't be changed, besides, these days, there is nothing bad, people, if you want to be content, your heart is higher than the sky, and you can only live thinner than paper. ”
The end of the winter thought about it, and laughed calmly,
"The girl is right, the girl's identity is here, and now in these days, there is really nothing bad about it, dare to stumble on the girl, the girl wants to teach her a lesson, and she will be beaten"
Li Xiaonuan made a "poof", almost squirted out the dried apricots in his mouth, sat up straight, and said at the end of winter:
"What nonsense? What does it matter to me that she is beaten? ”
Winter's end smiled and leaned back, clapped his hands and said:
"I love the girl, I love the girl...... What a low-key. ”
Li Xiaonuan rolled her eyes at the end of winter, leaned over to take the book, looked at herself, and ignored her no longer.
Cheng Ke and Zhou Jingran were still wandering around with Gu Xiao, without the intention of being half-separated, Li Xiaonuan's mind relaxed, and he no longer paid attention to whether the two of them could leave or not, anyway, whether they could leave or not, and there was no influence on her.
Seeing that February was slipping by, and March was approaching, Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke were excited to go to Ying Mountain behind Lingying Temple to see the peach blossoms.
Gu Xiao saluted Mrs. Li, and the elder followed the little maid with wine, snacks and other various items, a group of three or four cars, and more than a dozen horses, and swayed leisurely in the direction of Lingying Temple.
Walked for almost an hour, a group of people from the Lingying Temple side gate into the temple in a small courtyard of incense room, the small courtyard has long been cleaned up, Cheng Ke and others got off the horse, slowly drank a cup of tea in the small courtyard, rested for a while, then got up and took the long follower, through the back door of the temple, along the winding mountain road, to the Ying Mountain.
Yingshan is the highest mountain around Shangli Town, the mountains of Yuezhou, are neither high nor dangerous, mostly known for their verdant green and beautiful scenery, in fact, it is more like a verdant and green tall mound, saying that it is a mountain, but there are some grievances about the mountain word.
While enjoying the surrounding scenery, the three of them walked up slowly, and after walking for half an hour, they arrived at a pavilion halfway up the mountain, Zhou Jingran stopped, stood in the pavilion, looked around, stretched his arms and suggested with a smile:
"Let's rest here, watch the wind and enjoy the scenery, you see, look at the light red and purple all over the mountains, such as smoke and fog, such as clouds and clouds, beautiful."
Cheng Ke stood side by side beside Zhou Jingran, admiring the surrounding scenery, Gu Xiao also walked to the pavilion and looked out, Zhou Jingran seemed to remember something, covered his face with a fan, and laughed softly,
"Light red fen purple, pink yellow and tender green"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Cheng Ke, who was dressed in white, put away the fan, patted his palms lightly and said:
"It's a pity to lose that pink yellow shirt"
Cheng Ke's eyebrows jumped, turned his head to look at Zhou Jingran, and said slowly:
"Qingke is a gentleman, but it is not a grievance against you"
Zhou Jingran coughed lightly a few times, opened the folding fan with a "snap", and said with a smile:
"Enjoy the scenery and enjoy the scenery, such a beautiful view, not to be missed"
Gu Xiao looked at the two of them a little inexplicably, Cheng Ke also shook his fan, leisurely looking at the peach blossoms in the mountains, Gu Xiao also turned his head to admire the peach blossoms all over the mountain, his fingers moved lightly on his clothes, as if he was describing the beautiful scenery in front of him, the three of them were silent for a moment, Gu Xiao said with a smile:
"The year before last, Nuan Nuan said a poem and asked me to draw it, but I didn't paint a good one."
Zhou Jingran turned his head and asked with a smile:
"What poem? I'll hear it. ”
Cheng Ke also turned his head to look at Gu Xiao and listened intently, Gu Xiao said with a smile:
"Just one sentence, the peach blossoms on the human face are red."
"The peach blossoms on the human face are red,"
Zhou Jingran read slowly, twisted his eyebrows and thought for a long time, then turned his head to look at Cheng Ke and asked:
"Whose poem is this? It seems like the first time I've heard of it, have you read it? ”
Cheng Ke thought carefully for a while, slowly shook his head, Gu Xiao laughed,
"I haven't heard of it either, and Nuan Nuan said that she can't remember which book she saw it in, so she only remembers this sentence."
Cheng Kehu looked at Gu Xiao suspiciously and asked:
"Didn't you say that she only went to kindergarten Qionglin? Why is it that the books she has read have not been read by you? ”
"Oh, although Nuan Nuan said that she only studied kindergarten Qionglin, but Nuan Nuan likes to read books the most, she likes to read any book, she has almost read all the books in the outer study, and now she often goes to the study building to find books to read, Nuan Nuan said that as long as she has books to read, she will be satisfied, how many books she reads, I don't know."
Gu Xiao bent his eyes and said with a smile, Zhou Jingran's eyebrows were slightly raised, slanting at Cheng Ke, full of smiles, Cheng Ke glanced at Zhou Jingran, turned around and sat on the bamboo rocking chair, picked up a cup of tea, looked at the scenery of the distant mountains, and drank slowly, Zhou Jingran signaled to Gu Xiao, and also sat on the chair, and the three of them drank tea quietly, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the mountains, and enjoying this poetic leisure.
Zhou Jingran half lay on the rocking chair, swaying slowly, and sighed for a while before sighing:
"If there is another exquisite and clear interpretation flower, what more can you ask for in life? Xiao Ke, ah......"
"Nope"
Cheng Ke's eyes twitched a few times, and he refused fiercely and categorically, Zhou Jingran sighed and fell back sadly,
"Good, good, alas...... Such a beautiful view, it makes people feel so sad and sad."
Cheng Ke stilted his feet high and slowly tasted the tea, as if he didn't hear Zhou Jingran's complaints, Gu Xiao scratched his head, Cousin Ke and Brother Zhou always like to say such headless words.
Zhou Jingran sighed for a while, stood up with the armrest of the chair, looked left and right, raised his feet and walked outside the pavilion,
"Fold a few peach blossoms and go back to the vase."
Cheng Ke hurriedly jumped up, followed by Zhou Jingran, Zhou Jingran looked back at Cheng Ke, gently tapped his shoulder with a folding fan, and said with a smile:
"I'm just going to fold a few peach blossoms, what can I do here? You don't have to follow. ”
"Be careful"
Zhou Jingran shook his head with a smile, and the two walked out of the pavilion together and walked towards a peach tree in full bloom next to them.
