The solar term soon passed the frost, Li Xiaonuan had already put on thin cotton clothes, she had never been cold-tolerant, and now she is still like this.

The days are getting shorter, and Mama Wei is afraid that Li Xiaonuan will hurt her eyes, so she only allows Li Xiaonuan to do an hour's needlework in the afternoon.

On this day, Li Xiaonuan accompanied Gu Xiao to finish reciting the book, went out of the West Chamber, and sat on the couch in the East Wing, Li Xiaonuan moved to the window, pushed open the window and looked at the chrysanthemums blooming outside, sighed and said:

"After this chrysanthemum, I had to wait to see the plum blossoms, then the spring, the peach blossoms, and then the flowers again, the year passed really fast!

Gu Xiao looked at Li Xiaonuan a little inexplicably, Nuan Nuan often said something that people couldn't understand, how fast did a year pass? What does that mean? Gu Xiao shook his head, the second sister often said some inexplicable things, women's families are probably like this, Gu Xiao didn't think much about it, rubbed beside Li Xiaonuan, looked out head to head with her, and said with a smile:

"Sister Juying said yesterday that the chrysanthemums over there in the Juwan Pavilion are blooming surprisingly well this year, and these two days are the best time for chrysanthemums to bloom, let's go over and take a look now? If it's only a few days old, you won't be able to see it! ”

Li Xiaonuan's heart moved, turned his head, and looked at Mama Wei who was carefully winding the silk thread inquiringly, Mama Wei laughed,

"If the girl wants to go, she can go, and learning needlework is not here for a while, go quickly!"

Li Xiaonuan bloomed with a smile on her face, got off the bed neatly, and hurriedly grabbed her and Gu Xiao at the end of winter, and said angrily:

"The girl and the young master should slow down, put on the cloak and leave!"

Lan Chu and Chun Qiao hurriedly took the cloaks of the two of them, waited for the two of them to put them on, thought about it at the end of winter, and instructed Chun Qiao:

"Lan Chu and I waited for the girl and the young master to go to the Juwan Pavilion, you go to the Wutong Courtyard, talk to Sister Juying, and say that the young master went to the Juwan Pavilion to enjoy the chrysanthemums, and asked her if she wanted to send someone over to wait."

"Slow, you just tell Sister Ju Ying that Gu Xiao and I will go to Ju Wan Pavilion, and Sister Ju Ying will naturally arrange it."

Chun Qiao bent her knees and agreed, the end of the winter was stunned, and immediately came to her senses, looking at Li Xiaonuan, a little surprised, Lan Chu looked at the end of the winter, her eyes flashed slightly, Li Xiaonuan glanced at the end of the winter with a smile, turned around and went out with Gu Xiao, and walked to the back garden.

There was a thick autumn mood in the garden, and on both sides of the road, ginkgo biloba leaves fluttered and fell, spreading a thin layer on the ground.

Li Xiaonuan bent down and picked up a few extremely neat and beautiful ginkgo leaves, and handed them to Gu Xiao with a long petiole.

"Look at how beautiful this leaf is!"

Gu Xiao took the blade and explained with a smile:

"In our garden, all are ginkgo trees, I heard my mother say, except for two or three male trees, the others are female trees, and they can harvest thousands of catties of ginkgo every year, and there are also gardens outside our family called ginkgo orchards!"

Li Xiaonuan looked up at the tall and vigorous ginkgo trees on both sides of the road, and asked with a sigh:

"I heard that the ginkgo tree grows very slowly, how many years has it been for such a big tree?"

Gu Xiao and Li Xiaonuan looked up at the ginkgo tree together, shook their heads and said:

"I don't know."

"I know that."

Lan Chu said with a smile,

"My father works as an errand in the flower room, and I heard him say that all the ginkgo trees in this garden are about two hundred years old!"

Li Xiaonuan was surprised, turned her head to look at Gu Xiao and asked:

"Gu Xiao, your Gu family has lived in this garden for more than two hundred years?"

"No, I heard my eldest sister say that this garden was not our family originally, but was bought by my grandfather from another family and rebuilt, but my ancestor said that my father grew up in this garden."

Gu Xiao explained seriously, Li Xiaonuan looked up at the ginkgo tree, and nodded with emotion, for this ancient ginkgo, the rise and fall of the master of this garden is just a blink of an eye.

The two walked slowly while talking and watching, and walked all the way along the lake on the east side of the garden, and after a while, they arrived at the Juwan Pavilion on the east side of the lake, and the Juwan Pavilion was surrounded by blooming chrysanthemums on three sides.

The chrysanthemums around the pavilion are in full bloom, so brilliant that you can't open your eyes.

Li Xiaonuan squinted her eyes in surprise and admired the surroundings, and exclaimed in surprise,

"Gu Xiao, I've never seen a chrysanthemum bloom so well!"

Lan Chu showed a proud smile on his face, Gu Xiao pulled Li Xiaonuan, took a few steps forward, carefully looked at the chrysanthemums of different shades and shapes, and said with a smile:

"Nuan Nuan, the chrysanthemums here are not good, you haven't seen the chrysanthemums in the back garden of Cousin Ke's house, that's what is called beautiful!"

Gu Xiao took Li Xiaonuan's hand, walked along the path between the flowers, and explained with a smile while pointing to the chrysanthemum:

"Look, these chrysanthemums are all ordinary, not unusual, only those few plants, it's okay, look at this ......"

Gu Xiao pulled Li Xiaonuan, pointed to a cluster of white chrysanthemums and said:

"This is called Yuyu, it is the best first-class chrysanthemum in our garden, although it is also very beautiful, but if you have seen the dragon's brain, Silla, as well as the four products of Dusheng and Yuai, you don't think it's good."

Li Xiaonuan tilted his head to look at Gu Xiao and said seriously:

"Gu Xiao, I think this jade is the best-looking, the dragon brain, Silla, Dusheng, and Yuai you said, even if I see it, I don't necessarily think it's good!"

Gu Xiao was stunned, bent his eyes and laughed,

"Nuan Nuan, you're right, I also think Yuyu is the best-looking! I still like that Jin Wanling! That dark yellow color looks great when you draw it! ”

"Gu Xiao, do you know how to draw?"

Li Xiaonuan asked in surprise, Gu Xiao shook his head slightly disappointed,

"I won't, when I was a child, when I was very young, I can't remember how old I was, I watched my father draw Jin Wanling once, but it was beautiful!"

Li Xiaonuan tilted his head, looked at Gu Xiao who was a little sad with pity, pulled his hand with a smile, and pointed to the small golden chrysanthemums that bloomed extremely brilliantly along the lake under the pavilion, and diverted the topic.

"Gu Xiao, I think that piece of small chrysanthemums that bloom brilliantly and freely is the best! What's that called? ”

Gu Xiao pulled Li Xiaonuan closer, looked at it carefully for a long time, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment:

"I don't know this either."

Lan Chu laughed out loud in the back, and said while laughing:

"The young master definitely doesn't know this kind of chrysanthemum, this is called Foxglove, you can call it a little golden chrysanthemum, it's similar to wild chrysanthemums, it's everywhere outside, it's the most worthless."

Li Xiaonuan smiled forward and backwards, Gu Xiao opened his eyes wide, was stunned for a while, and also laughed with Li Xiaonuan, the two slowly looked at the chrysanthemum, smiled and commented, and turned into the Juwan Pavilion.

Two girls and a few mothers-in-law came from afar on the path between the flowers, stood at the entrance of the pavilion at the end of winter, looked carefully, and said with a smile:

"Young master, girl, it's Sister Juying who is here."

After a while, Ju Ying and Xing Hong each held a large cushion, followed by two mothers-in-law carrying small food boxes, and entered the pavilion together.
