Chapter 16: A Wonderland on Earth
Early the next morning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the beginning of the sun, the white clouds and floating jade in the quiet valley, the oriental smudge pieces of smoke, the scenery is beautiful.
Gu Xiao stood on top of an ironwood bridge, there were flowers and trees on the side of the bridge, and under the bridge was held up by a large perforated boulder, and the flowing water passed through the stone hole, forming a series of small waterfalls, heading straight towards the abyss downstream.
A hundred flowers bloom on the shore, hibiscus blooms in the water, and there are hundreds of butterflies to patronize, and there are hundreds of birds flying together.
In the distance, a few bamboos, a few green pines, a few peach trees, and a few red plums that are out of season.
The whole quiet valley is dotted with a variety of flowers and trees, like a dream.
No wonder Emperor Xuan would make such a comment, even the abode where the immortal lives is nothing more than that!
"Miss Gu, the eldest prince ordered the slave maid to come and invite you to have breakfast!"
Just as she was indulging in the beautiful scenery, a pretty voice came from her side.
She tilted her head slightly, but saw that it was Mrs. Tang's little maid Hongluo.
Since four years ago, after the eldest lady was found to be highly poisoned, she was sent to Qingyou Valley to recuperate, with several grandmothers and maids by her side, this Hongluo is the first-class maid next to the eldest lady.
Gu Xiao smiled at her, "What about the eldest son?" Can we talk about good things? ”
Tang Jing is the eldest son of the Tang Mansion, the second son is Tang Yuan born to the second aunt Mo Lanzhi, three months younger than Tang Jing, and the third son Tang Jin in the second room remains, the fourth son Tang Dun and the fifth son Tang You, who was born to the third aunt Pei Jing.
The eldest lady is Tang Wan, the second lady Tang Jia is the younger sister of Tang Yuan's mother, and the third lady Tang Lian is the youngest daughter of the second lady.
The Tang family's son-in-law, if you talk about appearance, it can be said that they are all handsome and extraordinary, the country is beautiful and fragrant, and they are deeply sought after by the young lady of the family.
Hong Luo nodded and responded, "Yes!" Childe is waiting for Miss Gu to have breakfast with the valley owner and his wife! ”
Gu Xiao nodded, followed behind Hong Luo, walked through the flowers, and walked all the way to a small cabin.
As soon as I entered the house, I was greeted by a set of exquisite furniture made of sunken wood, and the whole room exuded the fragrance of sunken wood.
A few small stools, a coffee table, on which rests a wooden tray with a delicate set of tea sets, five carved teacups placed upside down around the teapot, and a box of fine cloud tea resting on the side.
The reason why I knew that it was Yunwu tea was naturally because Gu Xiao had tasted it last night.
Compared with all kinds of famous teas, she prefers coffee, and it is also the original coffee, she likes the rich bitterness, and she can't say anything for it, she just likes it.
Hong Luo stepped forward and lifted the water hibiscus curtain in the middle of the pavilion for her.
Gu Xiao lowered her head slightly and walked in.
Seeing three pairs of eyes looking at her directly, Gu Xiao grinned, "goodmorning!" ”
"The ghost touched you?"
Chu Banxian was puzzled, he looked at Tang Jing, as if seeking an answer, but found that Tang Jing also looked inexplicable.
"Poof!" The eldest lady couldn't help but laugh directly.
I saw her wearing a plum blossom gauze robe, her hair was combed in a high bun, she didn't wear any headdress, her husband was as white as jade, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her small mouth was slightly curved, and although her face was pale, she still couldn't hide her grace.
Gu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and sighed in her heart, this eldest lady is obviously over forty years old, but she is still beautiful and moving, and the years don't seem to have passed on her!
Sitting with Tang Jing, it doesn't look like a mother and son, but more like a brother and sister.
"Xiaoxiao, come!"
The eldest lady beckoned to her, and the smile on the corner of her mouth only increased, and she became more gentle and kind.
Gu Xiao obediently stepped forward and sat down beside her, and when the eldest lady saw her sit down, she glanced at her son with a smile, and then ordered Hongluo to ask someone to bring breakfast.
After a while, I saw that the table was full of food, with a large plate of small dried fish, a large plate of pickles, and a few steamed buns, and a bowl of white porridge per person.
For a while, the porridge in the house was full of fragrance, and Gu Xiao only felt a little hungrier.
"This is a small dried fish brought back from the South China Sea by Jing'er thousands of miles away, it is said that it is caught from the deep sea, then washed, boiled, and then taken to the sun for three days before being recovered, with white porridge is very delicious, Xiaoxiao eat more!"
With that, the eldest lady takes a large chopstick and puts it into her pale Fluttershy.
Then he pointed to the pickles on the side and said: "This is the pickles pickled by Aunt Liu in the valley, which are equally delicious when eaten with porridge, Xiaoxiao will also try it." ”
As she spoke, she sandwiched another pickle with chopsticks, Gu Xiao was teary-eyed and moved in her heart.
How could she not be moved? The original large plate of dried fish and pickles has been almost half lost after the two chopsticks of the eldest lady.
Chu Banxian and Tang Jing looked at each other, and then shook their heads at the same time and sighed lightly.
I saw this kind of scene as early as last night.
I don't know what's going on, the eldest lady seems to like Gu Xiao very much, her eyes lit up from the first time she saw her, and her expression was the same as a tiger seeing meat and a butterfly seeing a flower.
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Gu Xiao thanked the eldest lady gratefully, and then drank the porridge and ate the vegetables in a big gulp.
The eldest lady bent her eyebrows, and smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth.
"Good boy! If you don't feel full, I'll ask Hongluo to ask someone to prepare more for you. ”
Tang Jing was a little speechless, he was a little skeptical that Gu Xiao was his mother's biological daughter, and he was just picked up by her from somewhere else.
This difference is inevitably too big!
"Come, apprentice, you can eat more."
Chu Banxian smiled and took the smallest small dried fish and put it into Tang Jing's bowl.
"Poof-ahem!"
Gu Xiao saw that he directly squirted out the porridge in his mouth and sprinkled Chu Banxian's face.
I saw that his two white eyebrows and long white beard, and even his white hair and white robe were covered with grains of rice.
The atmosphere froze instantly, and Gu Xiao secretly said in her heart that it was not good.
I saw that Chu Banxian's complexion was instantly blue, the corners of his mouth trembled, and the hand holding the chopsticks was clucking, and Gu Xiao's heart rose high.
She rolled her eyes and glanced at Tang Jing secretly, but saw that his face was also pale, and his starry eyes were even more cold.
Gu Xiao's face was instantly entangled together, she didn't mean it, she just couldn't help it!
"I ......"
She just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Mrs. Tang.
"Hong Luo, what are you still doing? Why don't you hurry up and bring the handkerchief to the valley lord and the son, and then order someone to prepare bath water? ”
"Huh? Be! ”
Hongluo, who came back to his senses, hurriedly retreated and went out.
After a while, I saw two little maids walking in with two copper basins of water.
Chu Banxian took the handkerchief handed over by the maid, wiped it on his face a few times, and then glared at Gu Xiao viciously.
Gu Xiao was so frightened that she hid directly behind the eldest lady, only daring to show one of her eyes and secretly look at them.
"Alright, it's okay, it's okay! You didn't mean it either, the valley master won't blame you! Do you say? ”
The eldest lady patted her on the shoulder, and then looked at Chu Banxian with a smile.
Chu Banxian snorted coldly, and then got up and walked out with the little maid.
Tang Jing sat a little sideways, so he didn't get anything, just a few drops of porridge soup.
However, the porridge soup mixed with a little dried fish and pickles, which made him smell a little unpleasant.
I saw that he also got up quickly and left behind Chu Banxian.
