Chapter 20: Childe Changyou
It is said that it is the hot summer now, and the city of Chao'an is not as good as the Weizhou City built by the water, as soon as the summer begins, the sun will be white, and the roasted ground seems to be smoking. Therefore www.biquge.info large families have the habit of taking a nap in the afternoon to cool off, and after I came, I also followed the local customs, and every day after lunch, I had to go back to my room to lie down.
Taking a nap this day, Rao is Xiuniang has been playing a fan on the side, and her sideburns are still wet with sweat. Because of my greed for coldness, I quietly took off all my close-fitting clothes at this time, leaving only my belly pocket and pants, and lay on the bed. Xiuniang doted on me, but I also let me go, but it was inconvenient for Su Yue to know, Su Yue was originally a personal maid who had served by my aunt's side for many years, just because my aunt loved me, and I was afraid that Xiuniang would serve me alone, so I pointed her to my room.
is awake, so let Xiuniang wait to get up and freshen up. I figured that it was almost time for my aunt and sister Rushuang to get up, and at lunch, my aunt had a bad appetite, so I asked the cook to make some sugar water and let me go over and enjoy it when I woke up. Xiuniang waited for me to get dressed, and then called Su Yue from outside to come in and help me comb my hair and even my face. This Su Yue is such a smart person, after entering the inner room, I saw that I was still wearing the underwear I had changed into in the morning, the clothes were clean and there were no sweat stains, my eyebrows and eyes were lowered, and the expression on my face seemed to be clear.
My heart moved slightly, vaguely a little uneasy, I have no restraint in private, I just know it, if I let my aunt know, I can't think that my mother has no way to teach, let me be presumptuous and lose everyone's beautiful body, Xiu Niang is afraid that she will also be reprimanded.
I want to ask her for a favor, but I am afraid that I will be more disappointed, after all, she is the person in front of my aunt, and she has not been with me for a long time, not to mention that I am just a foreign lady under the fence. I saw that she was serious and careful to comb the waist-length hair that was dyed like ink for me, and pulled a hanging cloud bun that the ladies and ladies in the city of Chao'an are competing to like, the bun was divided into two strands, and the oblique was like a fluffy cloud and lay on one side, which was very good-looking. Because it was still in my grandfather's sacrifice period, it was inconvenient to decorate too much, so I only took two thin white hostas and fixed them at the feet of the bun, and pinned a small white silk flower at the other end. The front of the forehead was originally covered with cinnabar, and after returning home, the end was neatly combed on the back of the head, revealing a white porcelain-like forehead like a full moon, and a little cinnabar in the center of the eyebrows, which became more and more red and delicate.
"Miss Chen, take a look, do you still like this hairstyle?"
I turned around and held her hand, "There is Sister Lao Suyue, my sister is so skillful, and she is a delicate and clear person, Yichen is not sensible, and in the future, I will have to rely on my sister's guidance in the house." ”
"Miss Yichen has tormented Su Yue, the slave is just a subordinate, and everything she does is within her bounds. If you have any commandments, call them. Madame sent me before I was specially explained, from now on you are the master of the slave, I just obey your orders, and I dare not be disrespectful. Su Yue said so, her words were sincere but neither humble nor arrogant, and she deserved to come out of her aunt's room. I won't say more, I just hope that she is really as loyal as she says, and that she will not say that I am innocent in front of my aunt.
When I went to my aunt's room to say hello, there was no one in the room, I thought about the promenade on the way I just came, the breeze gusted, but it was cool, so I led Xiuniang and Su Yue to the pavilion in the back garden. Sure enough, I was drinking tea there to amuse the birds, and the maid Yu'er and Qiu Yan were serving on the side, and I didn't know what interesting things they said, which made my aunt laugh non-stop.
I walked over and said goodbye to my aunt, "My aunt will enjoy her life, and if you find such a cool place, Chen'er will stick to you." ”
My aunt still laughed to herself: "I was thinking about asking people to call you, but it happened that you found it yourself, which shows that our mother and daughter are really destined to have a soul." Sit down quickly, Qiu Yan, you go and invite Miss, go to the kitchen by the way, and bring up the white fungus soup. ”
As soon as Qiu Yan went down for a while, Sister Rushuang didn't arrive, but saw that Brother Xuan led a strange young man to the garden. Brother Xuan's face was red, as if he had drunk wine, and his steps were a little vain. My aunt hurriedly sent someone forward to help him sit down in the pavilion, and personally took a silk handkerchief to wipe his sweat, but said angrily to the strange young man: "A few days after entering the palace on an errand, why did you drink so much wine as soon as you rested, Changyou, you don't block him a little, let him come nonsense?" ”
The strange boy made a gesture at his aunt: "Uncle and aunt taught me a lesson." Zhuyou and Ning Xuan haven't seen each other for a long time, and congratulated him on his promotion, so they were happy to drink a few more cups, and hoped that their uncle and mother would not blame Ning Xuan. ”
Brother Xuan was still drunk, and when he raised his eyes and saw me beside him, he shook his body and stood up and pointed at me, and he grinned at the young man and said: "You, this is my sister Yichen, I didn't brag, don't say that the daughter of the young lady in Chao'an City, even the sister who entered the palace as a mother in your family, is not far behind." ”
"Xuan'er, Hugh is full of nonsense!" The aunt was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly drank Brother Xuan to sit down on the stone bench, and asked Yu'er to inform the kitchen to make the sobering soup, and explained to the strange young man: "Changyou, Xuan'er drank too much nonsense, so you shouldn't have heard it." Concubine Hua is noble and noble, and she has the grace of the emperor, where can a woman from a mortal family look at her. ”
The young man smiled slightly, and replied humbly and politely: "Uncle and aunt have seen the outside, my sister is graceful and luxurious, but Sister Rushuang is graceful and graceful, and Sister Yichen is indeed fairy and jade, they are all women who are beautiful in heaven and earth, and the sun and moon are beautiful, but it makes me ashamed of myself." ”
My aunt chuckled when she heard this, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Changyou, you are a talented man in Kyoto, full of wealth, but you are so humble and humble, Lord Duan is so well-educated, whose daughter will marry you in the future, it is a blessing." I should let my family Xuan'er study hard with you, and restrain his frivolity. ”
Duan Changyou was just about to answer, Sister Rushuang arrived, a primrose-colored embroidered crepe flowing fairy skirt, a casual and delicate bow tied with a silver silk ribbon on her thin waist, a moon-white silk silk in her hand, and a transparent and oily jasper bracelet hanging on her slender wrist. As if she had heard what her aunt had just said, her face was a shy crimson. When Changyou saw her, he was not as free and easy as he was just now, and he was vaguely distracted for a moment, but he corrected his color slightly, and greeted Sister Rushuang with a smile.
Sister Rushuang didn't answer him, but returned the salute softly, pursed her lips and sat down next to her aunt, smiling shyly. Qiu Yan has led the cook to bring the white fungus soup, and divided it for everyone present to eat, and it was silent for a while, only the breeze lingered, as if with a trace of spring.
