"Overnight?" Mrs. Gu said unexpectedly, "What kind of person?" ”

"A young man and two domestic servants. www.biquge.info According to the servants, they went to Beijing to go to relatives, and the journey was tiring, and the little master's old illness recurred, so they wanted to spend the night here, so that the little master could rest and rest. ”

Mrs. Gu raised her eyebrows: "How do you look?" ”

Han Zhi thought for a while and said: "The slave maid sees that the little boy is thin and weak but has a noble temperament, and the two servants are also loyal and polite, so they should not be the ones who are abducted and deceived." The implication is that most of what they say is true.

Mrs. Gu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you can go and arrange for them to stay." That little boy is unwell, if you need to ask a doctor, we can help if we can, don't slack off. ”

"Yes, slave and maid." The cold branch went away in response.

Mrs. Gu took Li Guan and Gu Chengyu into the piano room.

I saw that the three side rooms were all opened into open rooms, hung with stone blue curtains, separated by a six-fold embroidered plum orchid, bamboo chrysanthemum, sandalwood bottom screen, the left side is like a study, faintly can see that there are bookcases, multi-treasure pavilions, painting cylinders, bookcases, etc., on the right side there is a piano stand, there are musical instruments such as zheng, qin, flute, sheng flute, etc., some wood and tools are placed at random against the wall, and the long case next to it is placed on the lyre that is close to completion.

Gu Chengyu walked to the long case, pointed to the lyre and said, "Mother, this is the piano you just made recently?" ”

"Yes, I didn't do it well in the first few times, but this one is not bad!" Mrs. Gu said leisurely, there was no urgency in her tone, full of leisure like idle clouds and wild cranes.

Li Guan looked at the lyre with the past, and saw that the piano was about three feet six inches long, with catalpa wood as the bottom plane wood as the face, silicon into a banana leaf type, Yueshan, Chenglu, string eyes, goose feet, dragon gums, etc., the forehead was carved with moire bamboo, and the tail of the piano was decorated with crown horns, which looked generous and exquisite, and had ancient charm.

Gu Chengyu stroked the body of the piano and smiled: "It's almost winding!" ”

Mrs. Gu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I don't have the right strings on hand yet, I'll talk about it when I find it." If you really can't find it, you can make your own strings, just to pass the time! ”

"Do you want me to find it for you?" I happen to know a couple of piano makers who should have good strings in their hands. Gu Chengyu said.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said, "I can't look down on ordinary strings, you don't care, I'll do it myself!" ”

Gu Chengyu couldn't help but be surprised.

Mrs. Gu glanced at her son with a smile and said to Li Guan: "Have you used the flute I gave you last time?" How does it feel? ”

"The sound of your flute is soft, I like it very much." Li Wan smiled and said, she really likes that flute, and she has taken it out in private and rewarded it a few times.

Mrs. Gu listened to her tone very sincerely, and there was a little more smile on her face, and said, "I see that you like flute so much, do you want to learn how to make flute, I can teach you!" ”

"Really?" Li Wan was flattered, and then felt that she was too positive, what if Mrs. Gu just said kind words, she couldn't help but hesitate, "If I can learn this craft from you, of course I am very willing, but I don't know if it will disturb your cultivation...... I'm stupid and probably not a good student......"

Mrs. Gu smiled when she heard this, and said, "It's not that you want to learn it in three or two days, this kind of thing can't be rushed, it's better to be stupid, anyway, it will be a long time in the future!" However, I promised an old-timer to help him edit the paperwork, and he will not be idle in recent months, if you really want to learn how to make a flute, I will teach you when I am free in the second half of the year! ”

Li Guan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded again and again: "Then I'll bother you again!" ”

Mrs. Gu was very satisfied with her attitude and smiled and bowed her head.

Gu Chengyu looked at his mother, and then at Li Guan, and couldn't help but smile on his face.

They spent most of the hour in the piano room, until Hanzhi came and invited them to dinner.

The dinner was really as Mrs. Gu said, a whole fish feast, not only Gu Chengyu's favorite slippery fish fillet, but also Li Guan's favorite boiled fish, as well as a few home-cooked fish, all of which tasted very good, one of which was a cup of fragrant lotus root tofu fish soup, Han Zhi was specially placed in Mrs. Gu's hand, it should be what she likes to eat.

Everyone was very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Gu Chengyu took Li Guan to the small garden to see the two red plums raised by Mrs. Gu, and then prepared to go home.

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Gu and coming out of the house, it was already dark outside, and there were scattered stars hanging in the sky, and they walked out along the verandah, and the cold wind blew in gusts, freezing cold.

"Young Master, please stay!" A maid caught up with Gu Chengyu and said, "Madame, please go back, there is something you want to bring back to the old lady." ”

"What's that?" Gu Chengyu stopped and said in surprise.

The maid smiled and shook her head: "This slave doesn't know." ”

Gu Chengyu had no choice but to say to Li Guan: "Guan'er, you wait for me for a while, I'll come when I go!" Then he hurried away with the maid.

The verandah was ventilated on three sides, and Li Wan was still shivering with cold wrapped in a mink cloak, and he said: "Miss, it's windy here, let's go to the front and wait for Gu Gongzi." ”

Li Guan had this intention, and the two of them entered the hall between the first and second entrances along the hand-copying verandah.

They found a corner to stand, not only to shelter from the wind, but also to see the movement outside, and when Gu Chengyu came out, they could see it in time.

"Miss, sit down for a while." He saw a small stool next to him, so he moved over and asked Li Guan to sit.

Li Guan sat down, rubbed his hands and said, "It's too cold this day, my ears are about to freeze." ”

"This winter is indeed colder than usual, and the heavy snow is often a month and a half at once, and it may be even colder when the snow melts in spring!"

"Eh, I knew it would be so cold this year, I should have listened to the words of the ibis and went to Jiangnan for the winter, which is much warmer than in the north!"

"If you want to go, it's not too late to go, just in time to go with the ibis."

“…… Forget it, I'll have to walk for a month or two on this road, so I'd better stay in the house and make a fire......"

They chatted in a low voice, and the surroundings were quiet, and there was no sound at all.

Li Wan couldn't help but sigh: "This courtyard is really deserted, and there are few people who serve......

As soon as the words fell, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the hall, and someone said, "Childe, you are weak, you should go back to the house and rest." ”

"It's stuffy in the room, and I want to breathe here." The voice was a little hoarse, and there was a feeling of weakness that had not healed for a long time.

Li Guan and Hewang glanced at each other and were silent in unison.

This is the Gu family's courtyard, and only Mrs. Gu and a few serving servants live in the courtyard.

It's so late, and it's in this place again, and there should be no one else talking except for the people who stayed overnight as Hanzhi said before.

Sure enough, I only heard the person outside continue: "Then the slave went to the master's house to order hot water to make a pot of tea for you, you still drank a few sips of water at dinner, and the doctor said, let you drink more water, it's good for your throat!" ”

ps: I'm so sleepy, I'm sleepy, why am I sleepy all day...... Well, try to spell two more, but I can't guarantee it...... (To be continued.) )
