Chapter 20: The Daughters
There is a pavilion on the top of the mountain, with a stone table and a stone bench, on which the two of them sit down to rest. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 There is a tall pentagonal maple next to the pavilion, the branches and leaves are dense, and some have stretched into the pavilion, Lu Yu saw that the red leaves were bright red like fire, and it was very good-looking, so he picked a few pieces and put them into his sleeves. Su Jingyi smiled at him: "Brother Lu also wants red leaves to give to beauties?" Lu Yu hurriedly denied: "It's for the little sister Yan'er at home, she likes to sing poems and enjoy the scenery the most, how can there be any beauty", Su Jingyi said: "Brother Lu has already reached the age of marriage, why is he unwilling to get married?" There are so many young ladies in the capital who are looking forward to you, Brother Lu likes which one you can say casually, if you are embarrassed, I will say it", Lu Yu shook his head, there are too many good-looking faces in this world, and there are too few interesting souls. Only by getting along with interesting people can we do interesting things. But most of the women in the capital are boring, and he has no intention of being put in chains.
Su Jingyi saw that Lu Yu was thoughtful, and got closer, "Brother Lu really has a crush on someone, who is it?" Lu Yu waved his hand again and again: "No, don't think about it." I'm thinking that the foundation of the DPRK and China is unstable now, and there are many things, how can I have the heart to think about the private affairs of my children, let's talk about it when I'm done", Su Jingyi said: "No matter how much state affairs are over, there are so many princes and ministers, what are you doing with so much care?" Life must be happy", and leaned into Lu Yu's ear, "Brother Lu, why don't you go down the mountain and I'll take you to Qingle Fang to listen to music?" There's a new musician there, and the song is so good that we let Miss Miaoyin sing it to us, and it will definitely make you want to go home."
Lu Yu shook his head, "I should go back to Yong'an City tomorrow, and I have to pack my luggage when I go back today, and I'll listen to it when I have time in the future", Su Jingyi said regretfully: "That's a pity, the song sung by Miss Miaoyin is not something that everyone can hear", the two chatted for a while, and saw that it was not early, and they were ready to go down the mountain.
As soon as he walked halfway up the mountain, he saw a team of people coming up the mountain, Su Jingyi's eyes were sharp, and he saw his sister in the crowd at a glance. Su Jingyi's sister's name is Su Jingrong, and she is his sibling sister. This sister has been a troublemaker since she was a child, and she loves to stick to Su Jingyi, so when he sees his sister, he has a headache. Every time he went out, Su Jingyi had to go secretly, but this time he didn't know how it was so coincidental that he met him on the mountain.
Su Jingrong also saw the two of them, and immediately called him loudly: "Brother, brother", Su Jingyi wanted to hide, but it was too late, so he had to walk over. In fact, it is no coincidence that they met, Su Jingrong had already seen the letter he wrote to Lu Yu, and originally wanted to come along, but later met a few friends, and heard that Lu Yu came to climb the mountain, of course those young ladies of the family would not miss such a good chance encounter, so they made an appointment to come together.
Lu Yu and Su Jingyi walked up to them together, and everyone greeted each other and saluted. Su Jingyi frowned and asked, "Why did you come to climb the mountain too?" Su Jingrong was so angry that his nose was crooked when he heard this: "Only my brother is allowed to come, and we are not allowed to come?" This mountain is not my brother's own", everyone laughed as they listened to the conversation between the two.
Lu Yu glanced at these people, there were about six or seven people in their group, because they were less in the capital, he had only seen two or three, the one wearing a yellow shirt on the far left should be the daughter of Yin Zhaojie of Jingzhao Mansion, the one in the middle seemed to be the daughter of Master Zhou of the Hanlin Academy, and the one next to Su Jingrong should be An Ruoshui, the second daughter of An Guogong.
Speaking of this An Ruoshui, she is one of the best talented women in the capital. An Ruoshui is the second daughter of An Guogong, and her sister An Ruosu is married to Lu Han, and she and Lu Yu are also in-laws. Although An Ruoshui is not the descendant of An Guogong, he is more popular than An Ruosu. Because she is not only beautiful as a fairy, but also proficient in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she is rumored to be the first talented woman in the capital, many children of the family admire her, but she is arrogant, no one looks at it, but she has a soft spot for Lu Yu, and today's mountaineering is for Lu Yu.
Seeing Lu Yu looking at everyone, An Ruoshui smiled faintly at Lu Yu, it was really like a peach blossom. All the women looked at Lu Yu with an obsessive expression, hoping to be looked at by him twice.
An Ruoshui looked at Lu Yu's jade-like face and deep pool-like eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was full of charming manliness, and the other ugly and superficial children of the family were simply worthless compared to him, but his eyes looked like people were with ice, and he didn't dare to approach. I can't help but think in my heart: What would it be like for such a cold face to be soft to himself one day? Although she knew that he was not close to women, and there were many women from the family who wanted to get his blue eyes, An Ruoshui was confident that this man would be hers sooner or later, and other women were just wishful thinking, thinking of this, she smiled even more movingly.
In recent days, Shen He has been staring at the Splendid Workshop, from design to material selection and tailoring, except for some embroidery for the embroidery lady to do on her behalf, Shen He has done it all by herself, she has modified it over and over again, and strives to reflect the delicacy and taste of the Splendid Workshop in every detail. After two days of busy work, Shen He slept steadily until dawn on this day, Xiaocui didn't call her, Miss was too tired during this time, so let her rest for a while. When Shen He woke up, he was still dazed, his head was a little dizzy, and he called Xiaocui a few times. Xiaocui came over in response, "Miss is awake, are you hungry, there are still small dishes in the stove room", Shen He shook his head and asked, "? What time is it" Xiao Cui replied: "It's noon", Shen He exclaimed: "I've slept for so long, have you had breakfast?" "I've eaten it early, Miss has been too tired lately, I didn't bother when I saw Miss asleep" Shen He sighed and got up to wash.
The Splendid Workshop is now lively, and it is already busy early in the morning. Some people are already waiting outside the door before dawn, and when the store opens, people rush inside, for fear that they won't be able to grab their favorite clothes. Huang Ji'an was taking care of it in the store, and those tailors were busy measuring the guests, remembering the patterns, and choosing the headdress, they were very busy, and they were busy, when they saw Shen He walking in in a neat green coat.
Because she was veiled last night, the customers in the store didn't know her. She said hello to Huang Ji'an and walked straight to the processing room at the back of the store, only to see that the tailors and embroiderers were busy making clothes, and when she came in, she just raised her head. She approached and looked at the clothes in everyone's hands, and saw that all kinds of colors had basically been ordered, and the blue fairy dress she wore had also been ordered three. Just watching, Huang Ji'an also walked in, "Miss Shen, how about a look?" "Yes, each style has already been ordered, it seems that I still have to think about a few more" Shen He said. Huang Ji'an said with a smile: "Don't worry, we'll push a new style after these are made" Shen He thought about it, and he couldn't chew it too much, so he began to seriously check the finished product that had been made.
