Chapter 3: Sunny Days
It's still early spring, and it's a sunny day. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The bright sunlight penetrates through the azure cicada wing window screen, casting a layer of cyan light and shadow on the inside of the house, like a pool of secluded blue water, quiet and elegant.
On the carved Nanmu desk, there is a piece of white rice paper on the flat floor, Gu Ya is standing in front of the desk and carefully drawing a picture of ink lotus, the faint ink is smudged layer by layer on the rice paper, the ink is transparent, and a few elegant and clean lotus flowers leap on the paper.
Xiaoqiu stood quietly next to her, carefully studying the thick ink in the inkstone in a circle, her eyes looked at Gu Yana's quiet and somewhat indifferent face intentionally or unintentionally, and somehow, Xiaoqiu felt a trace of timidity in her heart.
Three years ago, the third lady Gu Ya secretly fornicated with the man outside, and the eldest lord was furious when he found out, not only locked the third lady in a scattered small building, but also caught the man who had an affair with the young lady and killed him secretly.
Thinking of this, Xiaoqiu couldn't help but glance at the quiet painting of the quaint left hand, the quaint left hand is gently holding the right hand loose ice blue water sleeve, the right hand is holding the pen, skillfully in the upper right corner of the painting inscription: Yu Du love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, not vines and branches, fragrant and clear, pavilion and pure planting, can be seen from a distance and can not be blasphemed......
Xiaoqiu was illiterate, and she didn't pay attention to the Su Ya Molian with the appropriate shade on the paper, but she was recalling the events of three years ago: it was also the fate of these three young ladies, and the young lady was bumped into by the next person, although the eldest lord was angry that the young lady had fornicated with outsiders, but in the end it was father and daughter, and the eldest master still urgently invited the doctor to rescue the young lady back.
When the old lady heard about this, she cherished the three young ladies, so she took the three young ladies with her every day, and it was also time to run, because of the love of the old lady, the third lady jumped from the most unfavored lady in the ancient mansion to the most favored granddaughter of the ancient lady. The whole ancient mansion is because of the face of the ancient lady, and the third lady can't help it, hey, it can be seen that the luck at this time is really mysterious......
Gu Ya smoothed the brush in his hand in the black inkstone, and continued to write in the painting: Gu Ya on March 16 of the year of Renchen.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Gu Ya quietly looked at the beautiful "Lingfei Jing" Xiaokai of "March 16 of the Renchen Year", his thoughts flew around, and he couldn't help but think of this day three years ago......
It's been three years.
He had been dead for three years.
It's still a sporadic building, it's still early spring, it's still a sunny day, and it seems that nothing has changed, but when you think about it, many things have changed. He will never teach her to write poems and paint, never teach her to play the piano again, and never watch her dance lightly.
Things and people are not resting on everything, and tears are shed first when they want to speak.
"Miss......" Xiaoqiu timidly called her, pulling Gu Ya's mind back from afar, Gu Ya glanced sideways at Xiao Qiu, Xiao Qiu's gaze met Gu Ya's clear gaze, and she lowered her head in panic, not daring to look at Gu Ya again.
She seemed to be very afraid of Gu Ya, Gu Ya sighed softly, and said gently: "Xiaoqiu, accompany me to the garden for a walk." ”
Out of the sporadic small building, I went to the back garden of the ancient mansion, at this time the spring flowers have bloomed, the yellow flowers are very delicate and charming in the golden sunshine, at first glance it is also refreshing.
Because the spring in the garden is very good, Gu Ya did not feel that she had been enjoying herself in the garden for a long time, and when she was about to go to the octagonal pavilion in the circle to rest, a giggling woman's laughter drifted in the wind, and then two women of about seventeen or eighteen years old turned out from behind the luxuriant flowers and trees, and walked towards Gu Ya.
The three of them looked at each other, and the two women were slightly startled.
One of the two women is Gu Ya's half-sister Gu Wanru, Gu Wanru is the second daughter of Gufu's sister-in-law, and Gu Weiyong's wife, Mrs. Zhou Xiangzhou. And standing next to Gu Wanru is Gu Minru, the daughter of her uncle Gu Weidao, born to Mrs. Wang.
Gu Jing, the ancestor of the ancient mansion, was the founding general of the Yu Dynasty, and after helping Gaozu Yu Wenyan to defeat the Great Yu Dynasty, he was named the Duke of Shun Guo, and it was passed on to Gu Weiyong for the fourth generation, and the family was gradually defeated. More than 10 years ago, the brave minority Hanzhi people in the north and the Rongyun people in the west jointly invaded the territory of the Central Plains, attacking cities and plundering land all the way, burning, killing and looting. At that time, the emperor Yu Wenjian issued an order for Gu Weiyong and his younger brother Gu Weiyong to go out with the then three princes Yu Wenjue, Gu Weiyong was brave and good at fighting, and directly defeated the Nahan Zhi clan and the Rongyun clan until the northern desert, so that they no longer dared to covet the land of Dayu and made great contributions to the Dayu country. The three princes won the throne among the princes, and Gu Weiyong was also given the title of general, second only to the prime minister, and Gu Weiyong's eldest sister Gu Sirong was elected to the ** and sealed Zhaoyi, and the Gu family was extremely honorable.
Gu Weiyong's younger brother Gu Weiyong was injured in the war and died less than two years after returning to Gyeonggi, leaving only a son and a daughter born to Mrs. Zhengbi, and that daughter was this Gu Minru.
Gu Ya walked in front of Gu Wanru and Gu Minru, Ying Ying gave a salute, and said gently: "Second sister, Minru." ”
Gu Minru raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Ya, there seemed to be disdain and disdain in his eyes, but he didn't bother to take care of Gu Ya. Gu Wanru smiled lightly, and asked Gu Ya gently: "Where are Ya'er going?" ”
Gu Ya said gently: "I have nothing to do, because I saw the spring and scenery in the garden, and the flowers were blooming, so I came out for a walk." ”
Gu Minru snorted in her nose, didn't turn her face to look at Gu Ya, but said lazily: "I said that this good garden is suddenly covered with a layer of bad luck, it turns out that some people have defiled this good scenery." ”
Gu Ya was not annoyed, just smiled indifferently, three years ago Gu Ya and the man outside "fornication", the whole house has known about it, women have always been the most important name festival, although the Yu Dynasty is civilized, but Gu Ya is out of moderation, and it is naturally shameful by the ancient mansion. If it weren't for the old lady's face, how could they let this quaint stay in the mansion safely? It's been more than three years, and after seeing so many horizontal eyebrows and cold eyes, Gu Ya has become accustomed to it.
Seeing that Gu Minru said so explicitly, Gu Wanru reached out and gently pulled Gu Minru's clothes, asking her not to be so rude. Gu Minru just ignored it, she looked Gu Ya up and down carefully, and saw that her eyebrows were picturesque, her eyes were clear and deep, her nose was delicate and small, her lips were pink and natural, her skin was snow-white and green like clouds, her body was soft, her figure was slender, her demeanor was quiet and elegant, and she had a charm of beauty.
However, Gu Minru showed a look of disdain on her face, and said contemptuously: "Fox! ”
Gu Wanru looked at Gu Minru, and then at Gu Ya, and didn't know how to persuade for a while, she just pulled Gu Minru and said softly: "Let's go!" ”
Gu Minru wanted to say something, but was forcibly pulled away by Gu Wanru, Gu Ya stood quietly on the garden path, and Gu Minru's indignant voice could still be heard, "Second sister, what are you pulling me for!" That kind of vixen who fornicates with men, I don't feel comfortable looking at it! She doesn't deserve to be the lady of the ancient mansion at all! I really don't know how my grandmother loves that kind of vixen......"
The sound faded away, and finally it was inaudible.
The sun is like a warm golden veil spreading, and the fragrance of flowers is fragrant and pleasant. When the wind blows, the green silk on the quaint sideburns is blown up, and it dances like soft willow branches in the wind. Gu Ya's face was still so quiet and pleasant, and she moved the lotus step lightly, as if nothing had happened, and continued to walk forward leisurely.
These little things happen almost every day, and there are disdainful eyes in the open and in the dark, if she is still angry about this, it is really impossible to get along with herself. The fourth lady, Gu Minru, died early and was pampered by Mrs. Wang and others. Although the second lady Gu Wanru looks gentle and graceful, she has been under the tutelage of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhou, since she was a child, and she has been deeply hidden. What's more, with Mrs. Zhou's relationship, Gu Ya is also respectful.
However, as long as they don't violate the quaint bottom line, they can do anything. After all, now in the ancient mansion, Gu Ya has no power to rely on except for the love of the old lady, if in the past she still had a confidant Ziyun, and now she ......
Gu Ya looked back at the maid Xiaoqiu who was following her, and as soon as Xiaoqiu touched Gu Ya's gaze, her face was a little flustered, and she lowered her head timidly. Gu Ya sighed secretly in her heart, Ziyun was dead, and Xiaoqiu was timid and cowardly, so she couldn't do anything.
It seems that in this ancient mansion, she still has to be cautious and take every step of the way.
Since the providence of heaven has allowed her to survive, she has to leave this life, live well, find out why Ziyun betrayed her back then, who was the culprit who killed him, and grasp her fate well......
