Chapter 15: Auntie

In the midst of the fighting, the painting boat arrived in Shanyin County, and stayed at the Sanyin Ferry, Hua Qianyue thought that she couldn't sleep like last night, but she didn't expect to fall asleep as soon as she hit the pillow, and she didn't even turn over one after a good night's sleep, and the next day she was woken up by the noisy sound outside.

Drawing playing cards has become her and Hana's only job now, and they have to draw two decks every day.

The first deck of cards can not be played out hard and is easy to crack, Hua Qianyue instructed the rough mother-in-law to wipe the remaining bamboo pieces with tung oil, and the second deck of cards drawn by Hua Qianshu is obviously much better than the first deck of cards.

After the painting of the playing cards, the quality is better than the first two pairs, before the painting, the ground bamboo pieces are soaked in tung oil for half a day and then fished up to dry, dried for a whole day.

There are more cards, Hua Qianyue taught four more sets of ways to play, and playing poker is also popular on the painting boat, not only the girl ring is playing, but even the boatman also came to Hua Qianyue to ask for poker.

Hua Qianyue saw that playing cards were so popular, and thought that it would be better to draw a few more decks to send to relatives abroad?

When Gu told Gu about this idea, Gu was very happy: "Your grandmother has no pastime at home when she is old, and she must be very happy if you draw two pictures to show her filial piety." ”

Since the Gu family said so, they had to make a few more pairs, so they called Lanxiang and Helu to come over to help with the overtime paintings, and they even painted in their dreams at night, and finally drove out eight decks of cards.

After the cards were done, I slipped to see Gu's playing cards, and I couldn't stand it anymore to see them playing miserably but enjoying themselves, and went out to go around, and found that everyone was 'working', only one of their big idlers, dangling and really didn't go to go to Gu's house again, and it looked like I couldn't help but point out a round of Mama Wang, and was driven out by the other three people with a sentence of 'watching chess and not saying a real gentleman'.

Hua Qianyue touched her nose and went to the deck alone.

No one pays attention to the scenery so much that they have to look at the scenery by themselves, but this scenery is really beautiful, and it is only the first time I have seen it after living for two lifetimes, painting a boat! Tall painting boat! According to the visual inspection, the painting boat is more than 20 meters long, more than 10 meters high, red walls and golden tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, Ambilight, the second floor actually has pavilions and pavilions on the top, this is also too tyrant, right? It must be good to sit inside and watch the scenery, and a cup of tea is three or five small points to think about.

Hua Qianyue swallowed the water mouth, concentrating and looking like a painting boat, wow! There are soldiers in armor guarding all the key points on the ship, which general is going to go on the expedition? There is a sound of piano coming out of the pavilion on the second floor, which sounds a bit like mountains and flowing water, and I don't know whether it is a guzheng or a guqin.

In her previous life, Hua Qianyue always thought that the guzheng and the guqin were the same instrument, until a fellow musician who went to college roommate often came to the door, and after getting acquainted with each other, he realized that they were two things at all.

Couldn't be a general? You see, that glittering roof is for the emperor's royal family, right? The Emperor's Visit? No, the emperor could not have only one boat on his visit. Prince? Princess?

Don't think about it, Hua Qianyue looked at the super big painting boat in the distance and shook her head, no matter who it was, it didn't matter to herself.

After lunch, there was a slight rain, the fine and dense rain fell on the lake and rippled, the deck was not able to go, simply slept well, just slept in a daze by the flower thousand trees to entangle, it turned out that the boring person was not only himself, and suddenly the mood was good.

Tell a story, chant poems for half a day and pass away, calculate the day should also go to Mingzhou, find the boatman to inquire, said that tomorrow at about two o'clock (ten o'clock in the morning) can arrive at the Mingzhou ferry.

At three o'clock (5:45 p.m.), the rain had stopped, and the painting boat stopped at the Qingzhou ferry, and the air of the ferry after the rain contained a fresh smell of earth, and Hua Qianyue walked on the deck and took a deep breath and slowly spit it out.

Well, such good air can't be breathed in the future.

Xinmu looked and found that the gorgeous painting boat he saw in the morning was parked ten zhang away, and the maiden and women who came and went on the boat could see it clearly.

There were more people on the deck, pointing and pointing at the painting boat with excitement.

God, is this a painting boat?

What kind of people can afford to use this kind of painting boat!

The servant of the painting boat didn't seem to see anything strange around him, he did what he should do, there was no disdain on his face, no half smugness, and his expression was calm.

Hua Qianyue couldn't help but nod secretly when she looked at it, the master who could train such a servant must not be bad.

Mama Qian also stood on the deck to watch the excitement, much calmer than the excitement of others.

Is such a ship big? I think that when my eldest lady came out of the cabinet, the boat to welcome her relatives was really big.

"Cloud beads?" A voice of surprise and uncertainty came.

Cloud beads?

Except for his wife, no one has called this name for many years, and after a few Yahuan who married with his wife were matched, the newly raised Yahuan called herself "Qian Steward" with her husband's surname, and then became Qian Mama. ”

Mama Qian followed the voice and looked over, and she also became excited.

"Zhiqin, you are Zhiqin......"

A quarter of an hour later, Hua Qianyue stood in the big boat flower hall that she thought had nothing to do with her in the morning, the ebony furniture of Yishui was glowing with cold light, and the water beads on a few budding red plums in the green jade plum bottle by the window. On the shelves of the Duobao Pavilion are jade carvings of different shapes, coral bonsai, and some bottles and jars that Hua Qianyue cannot name.

The delicate-faced woman sitting on the main seat was wearing a brocade purple-red embroidered gown, with a plump figure and a slight resemblance to the Gu family, giving people a feeling of gentleness and shrewdness at first glance. Hua Qianyue guessed that this person should be her aunt Otani, and heard that Gu said that she married Tong Chengqi, the second son of the Guogong Mansion in Jingcheng Town, and now the eldest princess is her mother-in-law.

Seeing that Gu came in with Hua Qianyue and Hua Qianshu, Otani bounced up from the brocade, hurriedly walked over, grabbed Gu's arm tightly with both hands, and called 'second sister', and Gu called 'sister' at the same time, and the two hugged each other with tears in their eyes.

Qian Mama and the others stood aside and watched with tears in their eyes, and they didn't come forward to persuade them to look at it like this.

When the two sisters calmed down, the Otani clan pulled their children to give the Gu clan a gift, two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Tong Yufei is sixteen years old this year, handsome and gentle, the girl Wanyu is thirteen years old this year, her lips are red and her teeth are white like flowers, and the water is clear and the lotus is beautiful and refined, and the youngest son Tong Yuxuan is nine years old this year, with fair skin and crooked eyebrows and eyes, which is very cute.

After Gu and the three children gave a greeting gift, they pulled Hua Qianyue and Hua Qianshu forward to salute.

The Otani clan took the hands of Hua Qianyue and Hua Qianshu, and asked softly what hobbies he usually had at home, what he learned, and what pastries he liked to eat.

Hua Qianshu also liked this gentle aunt, and all the questions were answered in a hurry, and the Otani clan liked it more and more, in addition to the meeting gift, he also rewarded a lot of things like the four treasures of the study.

What was given to Hua Qianyue was a green jade bracelet, the jade was transparent and there were no impurities, and the green one seemed to be able to drip water. Hua Qianyue generously accepted the gift and thanked him.

Seeing that Hua Qianyue was generous, the Otani clan was calm and calm, even the young lady of the big family may not have such a temperament, so he couldn't help but look at it and said to the Gu clan with a smile: "Qianyue, this child is calm and generous, and the second sister is really a blessing." ”

didn't want to hear this, Gu Shi burst into tears.

The Otani clan was surprised: "Second sister, what's wrong?" But what did my sister say wrong? ”

Gu snorted and said, "Speaking of which, I'm really sorry for this kid Yue'er." ”

Hua Qianyue said angrily when she heard this: "Mother"

Gu waved his hand at Hua Qianyue and continued: "Originally, this kid didn't have a good temper, and he didn't make me angry...... " glanced at Hua Qianyue and said faintly: "Now I hope she can ...... like before."

Then he told the Otani clan about Hua Jiajun's death and Hua Qianyue's presiding over the wine festival, and the Otani clan's tears rippled when he heard it, and Hua Qianyue's eyes were filled with pity and appreciation.

I heard that the eldest cousin and eldest cousin's gaze on Hua Qianyue also changed from the friendliness of exploration at the beginning to the friendliness of admiration.

Dinner was served, canned simmered mountain chicken shredded bird's nest, chicken shredded bean sprouts, pearl fish balls, monkey's mane mushroom grilled shark fin, slippery duck breast, vegetarian fried eel shreds, steamed fresh, stuffed mushroom box, lotus leaf chicken...... A large table was filled.

After dinner, the Gu family was about to take their children to say goodbye, but the Otani family said: "Our sisters haven't seen each other for many years, so it's better to stay and talk well today, and when there are many relatives in my mother's family, I may not have such an opportunity." ”
