Chapter 19 Chrysanthemum appreciation

Hua Qianyue sat on the Luohan bed, holding her chin in her hand, watching the Gu family, and instructed Yahuan to pack up the cage and prepare to leave tomorrow.

Originally, Mrs. Gu wanted to stay with them for a few more days, and the Otani clan had to follow the usual practice to enter the palace with her mother-in-law and decide to leave tomorrow, and Gu felt that it was not necessary for her sister to leave alone, and besides, she was not happy to leave her mother-in-law alone in the house, so she decided to set off with her sister tomorrow.

It was quiet outside, only the rustle of the boxes and cages in the house was heard, there was a sound of talking outside, and there were footsteps in a few moments, Hua Qianyue looked at the door, and Mama Qian lifted the curtain and came in: "The old lady sent someone to invite Miss Mrs. over."

"Do you know what's going on?"

"It's not clear to anyone who came, but the old lady is very happy."

Gu Shi tidied up his appearance in the mirror and brought Hua Qianyue out of the door. On the nine-song corridor, he met the four mother and son of the Otani clan who came from the opposite side and Hua Qianshu who was whispering to Tong Yuxuan, and after asking the Gu clan, he knew that the Otani clan knew no more than himself.

Seeing them coming, a little girl opened the curtain, and Hua Qianyue, who was standing at the door, found that there was not only Mrs. Gu in the house, but also men and women standing in a room.

The eldest aunt Jin saw Hua Qianyue standing at the door in a daze, and enthusiastically pulled it in and said, "Silly child, come in, it's cold outside."

The eldest aunt combed the hair of the fallen horse in a mess, wearing a dark red horse-faced skirt under a flower entwined with branches, and her red face was full of energy and yesterday, Hua Qianyue was secretly puzzled, and Mrs. Gu beckoned her to go over.

Old Madam Gu took Hua Qianyue's hand and looked at her carefully: "It's just that Dao is a skillful person, but I never thought that it was still a clever person." I heard that you told Wen Xiu about butterflies and spiders yesterday? Without waiting for Hua Qianyue to answer, he continued: "The little guy said that Wen Xiu didn't sleep all night after you left, and let the little guy find your uncle early in the morning, and told him that he was ignorant before, and lived up to his painstaking promise that he would not go to the Qinglou again in the future, calm down and think carefully about how much he doesn't like Miss Bizhu, but more as a knife that cuts at his father's heart, and now that he understands it, he can't leave people in the whirlpool he has created, and I beg your uncle to redeem her and let her go, as for Miss Liu, he is also willing to take it, I'm afraid that your uncle won't believe it, and after hearing about the family matter, he secretly ran to peek at it, Miss Liu Ruizhuang is decent, but she refuses to agree because she is disgusted with her father's actions. Your uncle was so shocked that he thought the sun was coming out of the west, and he asked the little guy to find out that you had been there yesterday. ”

Old Lady Gu's eyes were full of water, and she patted Hua Qianyue's hand vigorously and said, "Wen Xiu, this child has been smart since he was a child, and he is the most promising among the junior children of the Gu family...... But I almost ...... You are a noble person of our Gu family! ”

Hua Qianyue hurriedly said: "My grandmother is serious, my cousin is just trapped by the heart net he weaves himself, and now he has jumped out and is naturally clear, I just happened to pass by and saw a stick in my hand, and he was able to come out by himself." Besides, I'm your granddaughter, grandmother, you don't treat me as your own. Saying that, the naughty old lady Okitani squeezed her eyes.

Hearing this, Old Madam Gu tapped Hua Qianyue's forehead with her index finger and said, "You ghost spirit, how did this heart and liver grow?"

turned to the big and small valley clan and said: "This year, for the sake of Wenxiu, the people in the whole house have been miserable, and now the rain has finally passed, I have just discussed with your brother and sister-in-law, you rarely come back for a trip to Wenxiu and did not entertain you well, the chrysanthemums in the garden are blooming, I want to invite a drama troupe to come back tomorrow to sing and sing, and I don't invite outsiders to listen to the opera and appreciate the chrysanthemums on our own family, and it is not too late for you to leave the day after tomorrow."

It's really not too late, and you can make up for it if you speed up the journey a little bit along the way.

The big and small valley clan nodded and said, "But according to my mother's orders."

This is busy, opening the warehouse to get the house, writing posts to invite the theater troupe, and preparing the menu...... What was decided in a hurry was done in a hurry, but it was busy but not chaotic, and everyone had their own responsibilities. Sure enough, the hundred-year-old clan has its own set of rules for acting.

On the second day, the old lady of Gu led everyone to listen to the play in the water pavilion, and everyone ate fruits and snacks, discussing who played well and who was so hot.

As Hua Qianyue, who has seen all kinds of dazzling movie stunts in later generations, this scene is really nothing to see, and her eyes can't help but glance at Tong Wanyu.

Tong Wanyu was also reluctant to watch the play, and when she saw Hua Qianyue seeing herself making a gesture to Hua Qianyue, the two sneaked out of the water pavilion.

The two walked along the lake to see the chrysanthemums, Mrs. Gu said that the chrysanthemums are not casually talked, the chrysanthemums in the garden not only grow well, but also have many varieties and rich colors, red, white, yellow, purple-red...... There are even green ones.

Hua Qianyue has seen green chrysanthemums in later generations, and she once bought them in a vase in a flower shop, but she didn't expect them to be in ancient times.

Hua Qianyue pulled Tong Wanyu's sleeves: "Look at the green chrysanthemums."

Tong Wanyu said: "What is this, I heard my mother say that there were still black chrysanthemums planted in the house before, but now I don't know if there are any more, why don't we look for it?" tilted his head to look at Hua Qianyue beside him.

"Hurry up, hurry up." When I heard that there were black chrysanthemums to see, Qianyue suddenly became interested.

The two searched all the way, walked to a rockery and saw a man and a woman pulling a costume, thinking it was a conflict between the drama troupe, the two didn't want to be nosy and were about to avoid it, but they didn't want the man to see them and shouted: "Two sisters stay." The sound is like a warbler's cry, and it turns and listens.

The two of them had no choice but to walk over, only to find out what kind of man was just an eleven or twelve-year-old boy, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a festive face, which made people feel in a good mood when they looked at it.

The young man saluted the two of them and said eloquently: "I am an apprentice of the opera troupe, and I happened to pass by here, and I don't want this sister to be rude enough to block the way, so I have to take away my senior brother's costume, I won't give it and rob it."

The two looked at the woman pointed to by the junior apprentice, a little familiar, they had seen it in the ancestral hall that day, it seemed to be a granddaughter on the other side of the second room.

Tong Wanyu looked at the water pavilion and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh, it's really a coincidence." A cold light flashed in his eyes: "It's so clever that you want to pass by here, and it's so clever that you have to pass by here with a costume." ”

The stage is on the edge of the water pavilion, and there is a road leading to the side door on the west side, so you don't need to go through this side to enter and exit.

The young man couldn't hide it, so he simply said: "Actually, this young lady sneaked into the backstage and stole my senior brother's costume and was discovered by our class master, so he ordered me to come back secretly." ”

The ladies and wives of large families love to hold a corner, such things happen from time to time, and the main family has no face when they make trouble, and the class owner generally does not dare to make a noise and can only chase it back.

Tong Wanyu said to the junior apprentice: "My cousin has a fever and fever for the past two days, you go back first, and accompany the class master on behalf of him, so that he will not be frightened." He motioned to the close-fitting maid Qinghuan to step forward and give him a tael of silver.

The hush money, the elementary school apprentice didn't dare not accept it, and ran back with a cigarette of thanks.

Tong Wanyu said coldly to Cousin Gu: "Go back and copy the female ring, and have a long memory." ”

Cousin Gu wanted to secretly take the things used in the famous role 'Xiao Yuqiu' to show off in front of the sisters, but she didn't want to be found by the class owner and took a costume in a panic, but she was chased around by a little dramatist, and the little girl who looked at the wind didn't know where to go, and she was on fire. Now a relative who came to the house as a guest dared to reprimand himself, and the fire could no longer be suppressed, and he replied: "You are just a guest in the house, why do you care about my business?" ”

Tong Wanyu said coldly: "As long as your surname is Gu and you call me cousin, I will be able to control you." ”

Cousin Gu has never suffered this kind of idleness, the young lady's temper came up, and she stomped her feet and shouted: "I want you to take care of it, I want you to take care of it, I want you to take care of it?" ”

Tong Wanyu didn't answer her, and waited for her young lady's temper to be enough before she said slowly: "You want me to take care of you?" If it weren't for the fact that you were embarrassed and the face of the Gu family, I wouldn't have bothered to look at you. ”

"You ......" Cousin Gu was choked by Tong Wanyu, and knew that she couldn't please this cousin, so she had to go.

Tong Wanyu caught a glimpse of Hua Qianyue staring at herself, looked left and right and didn't find anything wrong, and said, "Could it be that I have flowers on my face?" ”

Hua Qianyue said with a smile: "I finally found out why the daughter-in-law is competing to win everyone's girlfriends, and it is really not comparable to ordinary people." ”

Tong Wanyu replied: "The little girl's family, what to take and marry, is it not ashamed." looked reluctant to talk more, and changed the topic again: "I'm afraid that I will learn about this matter and grandmother." ”

This is a family affair in the Gu Mansion, and they are not easy to manage too much as guests, so it is good to take precautions against this kind of thing after informing Mrs. Gu.

Hua Qianyue nodded yes, followed Tong Wanyu back to the water pavilion, Tong Wanyu reported to the old lady Gu what happened just now, the old lady Gu sighed for a long time and sent a grandmother to the second room and said: "After all, this is the matter of the second room, and we don't want to interfere much, just to see that the young ladies are all older, and the female husband of the eldest sister in the past looks good and recommends it to them, and there is no need to say anything about it." ”

After all, nothing happened, and no one saw it fanfare, and there was a suspicion of ruining the reputation of the second room, and in the name of introducing the female gentleman, he tactfully told those girls in the second room that they needed to teach and teach, and as for whether to do it or not, it was a matter of the second room.

In the evening, the old lady of the second room sent her grandmother over, thanked the old lady Gu for recommending her husband, and sent a lot of soil to the big and small Gu clans.

At noon on the second day, the big and small Gu clans boarded the boat, and the old lady Gu took the Jin family and others to the ferry to see them off.

Mrs. Gu was reluctant to give up on her two daughters' advice, and the big and small Gu clan's eyes were full of water.

The winter ferry was flowing with a faint sorrow, Hua Qianyue was infected by this sorrow and was about to shed a few tears, Gu Wenzhi squeezed over everyone and came up to Hua Qianyue to say, "My eldest brother asked me to bring you a word, 'I made you a friend'." ”

Hua Qianyue almost died of laughter when she heard this, how could this strange person's farewell words sound like he was on Weihu Mountain.

Nodding: "I see." He said narrowly: "You can also help me bring a message to your eldest brother, just say that he will not suffer a loss by making me a friend." ”
