Chapter 17: The Qingming Tribulation (I)

The sky was sunny and cloudy, and the gusts of spring breeze carried an indescribable heat, which made people's hearts feel strangely uncomfortable. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info looking at this weather, I think it must be raining.

When Gu Ya came from Yiyang Garden, when she saw the gloomy and sultry weather, her mind moved slightly, and after thinking for a while, she turned around and went to the Agarwood Pavilion built by the water in the garden.

I walked to the vermilion fence of the water pavilion and sat down, looking sideways at the clear man-made lake, where verdant willow trees grew and flexible green willows densely squeezed the ground, like a natural green barrier, reflecting the pleasant green in the water. Gu Ya looked at the water in the pool, and there were red fish swimming in the water, which was very pleasant.

Xiaoqiu saw that Gu Ya was looking at the fish in the water with great interest, so she said to Gu Ya, "Miss, do you want me to go and get some fish feed?" ”

Gu Ya came back to her senses at this time, she shook her head, sighed lightly, and said, "No need, you go to the garden to help me pick a leaf." ”

Xiaoqiu was a little puzzled, leaves? What does Miss want Leaf to do? However, she could never guess Gu Ya's thoughts, so Xiaoqiu didn't ask anymore, and turned around to help Gu Ya pick leaves.

Gu Ya looked at the small fish swimming in the water for a while, and saw a figure walking slowly in the willow tree not far away, Gu Ya stared at it, but it was the eldest sister-in-law Shu Yue. Shu Yue also saw Gu Ya sitting in the Agarwood Pavilion here, since she saw it, she couldn't turn a blind eye, so she also came to this Agarwood Pavilion, Gu Ya first stood up and Shu Yue said: "Sister-in-law." ”

Shu Yue looked at the fish in the water, looked at Gu Ya again, and said with a smile: "Ya'er wants to feed the fish?" ”

Gu Ya smiled: "No, I just want to come over and see the scenery here." ”

While talking, both of them sat leaning against the bar, Shu Yue saw that the fish in the water were swimming interestingly, so she told her girl Chunluo to fetch fish food. After Chunluo went, the two talked casually again. Gu Ya took a look at this Shu Yue, she had a tired silk hairpin on her head, wearing a half-new and not old smoky and flower-sprinkled narrow silver jacket, a moon-blue pleated skirt, and a ochre yellow inlaid white silk bamboo leaf stand-up collar gown, dressed quite plainly, probably because she didn't want to attract attention, this Shu Yue is also a sensitive woman.

This Shu Yue is not only the wife of the eldest young master Gu Hua, but also the eldest young grandmother of the ancient mansion, and Shu Yue has given birth to a son for Gu Hua, so the affairs in this mansion should also be handed over to Shu Yue, but Mrs. Zhou just said on her face that Shu Yue may not be familiar with the affairs of this mansion, and Mrs. Zhou is still in charge of the affairs in the mansion.

In the end, Gu Hua is not Mrs. Zhou's biological son, Mrs. Zhou's son Gu Nan has not yet been weakened, nor has he married, but Mrs. Zhou is already worried about Gu Nan. This Gu Hua and Shu Yue gave Mrs. Zhou a great sense of threat.

Shu Yue is not stupid, Mrs. Zhou is holding power so tightly, how could Shu Yue not understand Mrs. Zhou's thoughts?

Gu Ya looked at Shu Yue, Shu Yue was watching the fish swimming in the water, Na Chun Luo had already fed the fish, and Xiao Qiu also picked a complete and clean leaf for Gu Ya. Gu Ya and Shu Yue let Xiaoqiu and Chunluo go down first, Shu Yue sprinkled the fish into the water, and the red fish hurriedly gathered under the clear water waves like a lake, as if it was a red flower that suddenly contracted in reverse.

While admiring the fish in the water, Gu Ya said intentionally or unintentionally: "Does my sister-in-law often come here to feed the fish?" ”

Shu Yue casually sprinkled another piece of fish feed, looked at the small red fish in the water, and said with a smile: "Idle is idle, so let's take a look at the fish here, it's also very interesting." ”

Idle is also idle.

She said it very lightly and simply, but I am afraid that I don't feel that this sentence is so easy in my heart.

Gu Ya smiled lightly and said: "Ya'er also likes to be idle, but if she is too idle, Ya'er will feel that there is something missing in her heart, the so-called 'idle sorrow', once people are idle, they will suddenly have some unprovoked sorrows." I don't know what my sister-in-law thinks? ”

A very simple and casual sentence, if someone hears this sentence, they will definitely understand the meaning of this sentence.

Sure enough, Shu Yue's fish-fed hand paused in mid-air, turning her head slightly to look at Gu Ya, but Gu Ya was still smiling. After a while, Shu Yue put the remaining fish feed in his hand on the long red wooden chair in front of the railing, and Fang sighed: "What Ya'er said is not true, you may not be sad when you are idle, but you will be sad if you are idle for a long time." ”

Don't worry about it, is this Shu Yue's answer?

Some things don't need to be said, as long as there is a little tacit understanding, especially for people who are delicate and intelligent. Gu Ya poked her head out again to look at the fish in the pool, and the fish dispersed after they had finished feeding the fish.

It seems that the same is true of the fish, and if it is profitable, they will rush to the top, gather one after another, and when they find that there is no profit, they will scatter one after another.

Gu Ya sighed secretly in her heart, raised her head again, and looked over the verdant glazed tiles to look at the low sky. The heat in the air has not diminished at all, and it is a boring weather.

Gu Ya said quietly: "This gas is so stuffy, it seems that today's Qingming will still rain after all." ”

Shu Yue followed the quaint gaze, the clouds were too thick, covering the sun, only the heat did not disappear. She nodded and said, "I guess so." ”

Gu Ya withdrew her gaze from the sky, looked at Shu Yue and said leisurely: "This weather is cold and hot, and it is most easy to catch a cold." Sister-in-law, be careful, don't get sick. ”

"Oh?" Shu Yue also looked at Gu Ya.

Gu Ya continued to smile and said, "Ya'er has a recipe here, even if you are sick, you don't have to worry. ”

So Gu Ya approached Shu Yue and gently said a string of prescriptions. The names of these prescriptions Shu Yue are all known, they are all ordinary things, but there are many flavored medicines that are mutually restrictive, and they do not conform to pharmacology, I don't know what Gu Ya meant by saying the names of these medicines? Although Shu Yue was puzzled in her heart, she felt that this taste must not be simple, so she wrote down all those medicines one by one. The two talked for a while, and Shu Yue led the girl down first.

Gu Ya then took out the leaf, looked at the fish swimming in the water, put the leaf to her mouth and gently blew a tune. After all, his eyes fell on the fish swimming in the pool.

The spring breeze blew gently, blowing a few strands of hair on the quaint sideburns into the air, just like a fluttering butterfly that rises and falls.

It was so hot and stuffy yesterday, and I don't know if this is the reason, Gu Ya was strangely depressed and didn't sleep well all night. When I got up early in the morning to make up, I found that the person in the mirror was a little haggard. The quaint makeup has always been very light, but because the face is not very good, today I specially made the makeup thicker, and the haggard on the face was carefully covered.

The window was open, and it was already drizzling outside, and a green branch stretched out of the window, and the rain hit the leaves, causing the branches and leaves to tremble, just like those who were frightened by the rain.

There are lilies scattered in the room, the wind in the rain carries a faint coldness, Gu Ya sat in the attic quietly looking at this water curtain woven by fine and dense rain silk, and couldn't help but stretch out the hand carved like white jade to the window, and the rain hit her soft palm, one drop, two drops, three drops, this rain is so light, so soft, so pure, like the condensed dust that was inadvertently left into the world.

God, it's really raining.

In two days is the Qingming Festival,

Gu Ya thought about what she said to Mrs. Zhou in the apricot forest that day: Qingming apricot blossom rain.

Looking up and seeing the vast sky, the broken rain in the sky, and a cold smile on his lips, such a continuous drizzle will not stop falling tomorrow.

Sure enough, it always rains on Qingming Festival.

This year's Qingming Festival is no exception.

On this day, when Gu Feng came to find Gu Ya, Gu Feng was playing the piano in the attic, Xiaoqiu was used to Gu Feng's arrival, so he prepared the refreshments that Gu Feng liked, Gu Ya knew that Gu Feng liked things about Mu Hibiscus, and stroked the song "Brahmin Introduction", and sang to Xiao Xiao drizzle outside the window, accompanied by this soft tune:

"Su Qiu is late, and the years are divided into wood hibiscus. Xiao Xiao red knotweed west wind. I remember picking up the green at that time, hugging hands around the fragrant bushes. Reading the people go, the bright moon building is empty. The mountains are far away. Looking at the inch, thinking about the peak of the eyebrows. Cui Tian Qiong Jue is good, who is suitable. Desolate embrace, even at this time, only I and you are the same. Tears and eyes. ”

This is Cai Shen's lyrics, and the lyrics and songs have some bleak flavors, accompanied by the gurgling drizzle outside the window, which makes it even more resentful.

And the quaint singing voice is crisp, the words are clear, and strings of poems gush out of the throat, like a stream slowly flowing over the mountains and rocks, murmuring and soft. It's also like a drizzle tapping on the roof tiles, tinkling and dingding. It's a little resentful, some lingering...... Like the silk spit out by the spring silkworm, wisps and wisps, wisps of silk, will tightly entangle people's hearts.

On this day, when he had time, he would come to this sporadic building to sit and listen to Gu Ya say some poems about Mu Hibiscus, watch Gu Ya draw some paintings of Mu Hibiscus, or listen to her play the piano, but he never heard Gu Ya sing songs.

Gu Feng also often heard those famous courtesans sing, but those so-called famous courtesans were not known to be inferior to his sister......

Thinking like this, Gu Feng felt really ashamed to think like this, how could he compare his sister with those famous prostitutes?

Gu Ya saw that she actually sang, her face was slightly red, after all, the piano was taught to her by the master, and the singing and dancing were also learned under the guidance of the master, and the people in the ancient mansion knew that no one in her mansion had ever invited anyone to teach her this, only a shameless man who had an affair with her had taught her when he secretly "tryst" with her.

However, she sang it like this, for fear that it would attract the contempt of her second brother. Gu Ya secretly raised her eyelashes and looked at it, seeing that Gu Feng's face was calm and natural, and there was no contempt at all, Gu Ya relieved her heart and felt more and more cordial to this second brother.

Judging from Ri Gu Feng's attitude here, he has gradually recognized this sister from the bottom of his heart, but in this ancient mansion, Gu Ya felt that in addition to the old lady, the second relative who recognized her, Gu Ya was very moved.

Although Gu Wanru didn't seem to have any hostility towards her, somehow, it was because Gu Wanru was Mrs. Zhou's daughter, and Gu Ya never forgot that Mrs. Zhou told her father Gu Weiyong three years ago, which caused her to harm her master. Therefore, although Gu Ya thinks that Gu Wanru is also a good sister, the mustard in her heart cannot be eliminated because of this.

The next day is the Qingming Festival.

According to folk customs, this is the day of going to the grave to sweep the tomb, planting willows, going to the green, and going on a spring outing.

However, the quaint festival is always so ordinary, because many activities have nothing to do with the quaint, but this Qingming, the guya's heart is quite uncalm.
