Chapter 100: Plum Hunt (2)
With the guidance of the sound of the qin, Li Guan quickly found the person who played the qin. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't expect that sitting under the plum tree and playing the piano was actually a woman with an extraordinary temperament, she was about thirty years old, wearing a maroon skirt, except for the plum blossom hosta on her head, there was no embellishment on her body, she looked very noble and elegant.
Sensing Li Guan's approach, she raised her eyes, smiled slightly, and continued to play her piano.
This kind of comfortable and calm temperament made Li Guan feel good about her.
At the end of the song, Li Guan stepped forward and saluted, "Excuse me." ”
"It's okay, the road is slippery in snow, the stone steps are narrow and difficult to walk, very few people are willing to spend effort to come here to enjoy the plums, you little girl has a heart."
Li Guan pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "You praise it falsely, the little girl is an idler, she is not afraid of hard work, but she is afraid that she has a heart but she will get nothing." Looking here today, I am fortunate to enjoy such a good red plum and hear such a good piano sound, which is not a worthwhile trip. ”
She rarely met such a wonderful person, and when she had the heart to make friends, she said, "I don't know what you call it?" ”
The other party saw that Li Guan was young but behaved generously and politely, and his eyes showed appreciation.
"I'm nicknamed Shuangmei Jushi."
Layman?
Li Guan's face showed a little curiosity, and said with a smile: "The little female character is bright sunflower, the sun and the moon are bright, and the sunflower is sunflower." ”
"Mingkui ......" Shuangmei Jushi couldn't help but think about it for a while, "Good words." ”
"Xie Jushi praised."
Shuangmei Jushi said again: "I listened to what you just said, it seems to be quite a rhythm? ”
"I know a little bit about it."
"Do you know how to play the piano?"
"No, it won't." Li Wan paused, and then said, "The little girl can only give a. ”
Shuangmei Jushi saw her hesitation in his eyes, smiled leisurely, and said: "The red plum here is pure and fragrant, which is very rare, so you can enjoy it yourself." After that, he raised his hand to pluck the strings and stopped talking to Li Guan.
Li Wan whispered to Hewang: "Let's walk around this forest and go back." ”
This piece of plum forest is quite large, the two of them walked neither fast nor slow, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to go down in a circle, during which the sound of the piano of Shuangmei Jushi was endless, adding a bit of peace and contentment.
Li Guan saw that a few flower branches were broken under the heavy burden of snow, and it was a pity, so he picked them up and brought them back to insert bottles.
She was brushing the snow on the flower branches, when she suddenly heard a woman's laughter next to her, and with this laughter, the sound of Shuangmei Jushi's piano also stopped.
Li Wan couldn't help frowning.
I heard a man's reproachful voice next to me: "Don't make a noise, look, disturb my mother to play the piano." ”
This voice sounded so familiar, Li Wan couldn't help but look at Hewang, Hewang thought for a while and said, "It's like Gu Gongzi's voice." ”
Something flashed in Li Guan's heart, she hesitated for a moment, and still walked towards Shuangmei Jushi.
Shuangmei Jushi was talking to a pair of young men and women, and when he saw Li Wan coming, he nodded at her.
The pair of men and women looked back with her gaze, it was not Gu Chengyu and Gu Chengjiao, brother and sister.
"Guan'er, why are you here?" Gu Chengyu's face was full of surprise.
"Brother Gu, Miss Gu." Li Wan smiled and saluted, and said, "I accompanied Manqing to Deyun Temple for incense, and I heard the monks in the temple say that the red plums here are blooming just right, so I came up to take a look." ”
Shuangmei Jushi heard Gu Chengyu call Li Guan "Guan'er", his eyes showed a hint of understanding, and his gaze at Li Guan was a little more solemn.
Gu Chengyu was really happy to see Li Guan, and said to Shuangmei Jushi with a smile: "Mother, this is the eldest lady of Li Shilang's family." Li Guan said, "Guan'er, this is my mother." ”
Li Wan heard Gu Chengyu say a lot about his mother, but he didn't expect to meet him in this situation.
She saluted again: "Li Wan has seen Madame." ”
Shuangmei Jushi, that is, Mrs. Gu, smiled faintly and said, "Miss Li doesn't have to be polite. ”
Gu Chengjiao didn't have a special impression of Li Guan, and hugged her mother's arm and coquettishly: "Mother, it's almost noon, I asked people to prepare a meal in the temple, let's go down." ”
Mrs. Gu bowed slightly.
Gu Chengjiao helped her down the mountain, and the woman who followed Mrs. Gu hugged the qin and followed behind them.
Gu Chengyu beckoned Li Wan to go together, Li Wan was going to go back, but he was afraid that Wang Manqing would not find her and was in a hurry, so he smiled and went back to Deyun Temple with them.
Coming down from the stone steps, I saw Wang Manqing with a maid looking at the back door of Deyun Temple.
Everyone saw each other and greeted each other, but Wang Manqing was different from the past, and it was very embarrassing to see the people of the Gu family.
Gu Chengyu's attention has been on Li Guan, and warmly invited her to have dinner with Wang Manqing.
Gu Chengjiao said: "I didn't expect to meet Miss Wang Liu and Miss Li here, I'm afraid that the food I asked people to prepare is not enough, I don't know if it's too late to tell them to make it now......"
"Cheng Jiao!" Gu Chengyu interrupted her very unhappily.
Li Wan knew that Wang Manqing didn't want to talk to them more, and he didn't plan to stay for dinner, but after listening to Gu Chengjiao's words, he wouldn't be bored anymore, so he smiled and said: "Miss Gu doesn't need to bother, I still have something to do with Manqing, so I won't bother." ”
"Guan'er, it will take more than an hour for you to go back, so let's have lunch and then leave." Gu Chengyu said apologetically.
Li Guan was about to excuse himself, but Mrs. Gu, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Cheng Yu, since Miss Li and the others have something, you don't want to embarrass the family." Then he said to Li Guan, "Miss Li, I have lived in the courtyard at the foot of the mountain for many years. Although the plum blossoms in my courtyard are not as many as here in Deyun Temple, they are also blooming just right, and they can barely get into the eye, so you may as well come and sit when you have time. ”
Gu Chengjiao was very surprised when she heard her mother take the initiative to invite Li Guan: "Mother, you ......"
Mrs. Gu glanced at her lightly, and Gu Chengjiao hurriedly lowered her head.
Li Guan has a good impression of Mrs. Gu, and thinks that it is very rare for a woman from a big family to be like her.
"Thank you Madame for the invitation, the little girl will have time to come and ask you for advice." Li Guan took the plum blossoms picked up from Hewang's hand, "These plum blossoms were picked up by the little girl and given to Mrs. to enjoy." ”
Mrs. Gu looked at the plum blossom in Li Guan's hand and was a little surprised, but she still accepted it happily.
She thought for a moment and said to the woman behind her, "Hanzhi, go and get my bamboo flute." ”
Hanzhi answered the call, and soon returned with a long wooden box.
Mrs. Gu motioned for her to give the box to Li Guan.
"This bamboo flute is made in my spare time, you can use it to play."
Li Wan didn't expect that the few residual plums he picked up could be exchanged for a flute made by Mrs. Gu herself, so she was stunned for a moment before she solemnly took it with both hands and thanked him respectfully.
Mrs. Gu smiled at her, and Gu Chengjiao helped her to the dining hall.
Gu Chengyu saw Li Guan cherishing the box with the flute, and couldn't help laughing: "It's the first time for my mother to give away something she made, it seems that she is quite close to you." ”
Li Guan didn't dare to respond casually in this way, so he had to smile and say goodbye to him.
Gu Chengyu told her to pay attention to safety on the road, and make an appointment next time, and personally sent her and Wang Manqing into the carriage.
