Chapter 8: Qingming Rain (I)

Gu Ya sat in front of the rhombic bronze mirror, and her beautiful face was reflected in the clear yellow mirror. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Xiaoqiu stood quietly and obediently behind Gu Ya, slowly combing Gu Ya's hair with a sandalwood comb.

There was already a thin sun outside, the morning air was exceptionally fresh, a refreshing wind blew, and a green branch outside the window gently swayed a few dew.

Gu Ya looked at herself in the mirror, and casually asked Xiaoqiu behind her, "Was it lively last night?" ”

Xiaoqiu carefully held the quaint green silk on her head, and replied: "It's very lively, except for Miss, the other ladies and young masters of the Gufu have all gone." ”

As soon as the words came out, Xiaoqiu realized that what she said was wrong, and her hand trembled slightly, almost tearing Gu Ya's hair painfully. Gu Ya didn't care much, but continued to ask, "Uncle Chen is here?" ”

The Uncle Chen mentioned by Gu Ya is Chen Jiayong, a friend of his father and a subordinate of Yunlu's general.

Seeing that Gu Ya did not pursue it, Xiaoqiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, took a jasper hairpin and inserted it on Gu Ya's sideburns, and said, "General Chen is still here as before, and the young lady of the Chen family is also here." ”

Gu Ya let out a soft "um" and stopped talking.

After Gu Weiyong returned home, Gu Ya was always not so comfortable in the ancient mansion. I spend the longest time in a day only in the scattered small buildings, and at most I just walk around the scattered small buildings.

After noon, Gu Ya woke up from a nap, her stomach was a little empty, and she was a little thirsty, so Xiaoqiu brought a cup of rock sugar lotus seed lily syrup. Gu Ya ate slowly one soup after another, and suddenly felt that this day was too idle.

Outside the window are clusters of green branches, showing vitality in the sun, Gu Ya rested for a while, asked Xiaoqiu, Xiaoqiu said that Gu Weiyong had gone to Chen's mansion, since Gu Weiyong was not there, she could walk outside.

Anyway, being idle is idle, so it's better to go outside for a walk. Thinking like this, Gu Ya didn't drink the cup of rock sugar lotus seed lily syrup, and took Xiaoqiu out of the sporadic small building.

There is a place where many apricot trees are planted in the ancient mansion, where it is closest to the embroidered apricot hall of the second lady Gu Wanru, when it comes to spring, the large clusters of apricot blossoms will be full of branches, and it is a pink world as far as the eye can see, it is beautiful, occasionally the spring breeze blows, the flowers dance with the wind, and fall on the shoulders of people, but it is also a poetic and picturesque.

Today's quaint interest seems to be very good, all the way to the apricot garden, when the spring is just right, the apricot blossoms are as soft as silk embroidered with full branches, quaint and leisurely walking on the path under this apricot blossom, the mood is still comfortable.

Xiaoqiu followed behind Gu Ya without saying a word, and secretly glanced at Gu Ya with her eyes from time to time, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't bear to say it.

In fact, Gu Ya also knew what Xiaoqiu meant, in the ancient mansion, except for the sporadic small buildings and Yiyang Garden, Gu Ya rarely went to other places. Especially this embroidered apricot hall, this is the place where Mrs. Zhou's beloved daughter Gu Wanru is, if you meet Mrs. Zhou, it will inevitably be unhappy.

Gu Ya didn't go to the embroidered apricot hall, but just walked outside for a while, looking at this beautiful spring, and her heart was very comfortable. There is a round stone table in the apricot grove, and three stone benches are placed around the stone table. Gu Ya was tired of walking, so she sat down at the stone table.

As soon as I sat down, a voice came from behind: "Yo, who is that?" ”

This is Mrs. Zhou's voice.

"That's Ya'er." This delicate voice sounded next, but it was the voice of the second young lady Gu Wanru.

Gu Ya was not surprised, but just stood up again from the stone table, turned around, and saw that it was Mrs. Zhou and Gu Wanru, plus a few girls and grandmothers following them.

Gu Ya owed a debt and said gently: "Mother, second sister." ”

Mrs. Zhou glanced at Gu Ya casually, came leisurely along the gravel path, walked in front of Gu Ya and looked at Gu Ya, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be our third young lady, what kind of wind is it today, blowing the big red man in front of this mother?" Willing to walk around here? ”

Gu Ya smiled and said: "Mother laughed at Ya'er, Ya'er is the third lady of the ancient mansion, this ancient mansion is Ya'er's home, Ya'er walks around in her own home, that is also a common thing, not to mention that the apricot blossoms here are so beautiful, Ya'er can't help but come." ”

Mrs. Zhou's expression changed slightly, but she didn't speak, but Gu Wanru also stepped forward from behind, smiled at Gu Ya, and said gently: "Ya'er rarely comes out on weekdays, since she is here today, you must go to the embroidered apricot hall for a walk, and our sisters are also closer." ”

Before Gu Wanru said this, Mrs. Zhou turned around and glared at Gu Wanru. Gu Ya was a little moved in her heart, although she didn't know what Gu Wanru thought in her heart, but from the face, she treated herself very kindly, which is very rare in ancient mansions. So Gu Ya said to Wanru: "Thank you, second sister, if the second sister doesn't dislike Ya'er's vulgarity, Ya'er would really want to go to the second sister to sit there." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone on the spot was shocked.

Although Gu Ya and Gu Wanru are sisters, she has never entered Gu Wanru's embroidered apricot hall, and she has never taken the initiative to go to the other young masters and young ladies of the ancient mansion. Today, although Gu Wanru proposed to go to the embroidery apricot hall, Gu Ya would agree with her mouth, which is unprecedented.

Mrs. Zhou's face was even more unsightly, and when she was about to say something, Gu Ya looked up at the bright apricot blossoms on the branches, sighed faintly, and said: "Ziyun also liked apricot blossoms back then, and whenever the apricot blossoms bloomed, he always came here to cut a few of the most colorful apricot blossom vases." ”

The air around him suddenly became solemn, and the brilliant sunlight around him seemed to be enveloped in a cold and heavy atmosphere.

Gu Ya didn't care about whether it was appropriate to mention the girl who had been dead for three years at this time, as if she was in deep thought, and looked at the delicate bouquet of red apricots in the sky in a daze, and muttered: "Now the apricot blossoms are still the same, but it's a pity that things are not people." ”

Gu Ya seemed to have just come back to her senses, smiled apologetically at Mrs. Zhou, and continued: "When Ya'er saw this apricot blossom, she remembered that the old man was here, Ya'er lost her temper, and I hope my mother will forgive me." ”

Mrs. Zhou sneered and sneered: "Old man? But I don't know which old man it is? ”

Mrs. Zhou was referring to Gu Ya's master, Gu Ya's heart hurt slightly, but there was still a smile on her face, and she said gently: "Why does my mother ask knowingly? ”

Mrs. Zhou's face was pale, and she didn't know it, and she glanced at the bright apricot blossoms again, and sighed faintly: "It's almost Qingming." "A few remnant apricot branches and flowers, red hate Qingming rain", "when the red apricot blooms, a flash of Qingming rain", "apricot blossoms scattered Qingming rain", "Qingming rain over apricot blossom cold", Qingming Xiaosuo, residual apricots scattered, but also drizzle to break people's intestines, it seems that this Qingming Festival, there is always less than apricot blossoms and rain. ”

Gu Ya said, slowly moved her gaze to Mrs. Zhou's face, and said with a smile: "It's apricot blossom day now, but I don't know, will it rain in Qingming this year?" ”
