It's good to be in this paradise once in a lifetime.
In the spring of the ninth year of the Republic of China, the peach blossoms on Cuifeng Mountain bloomed much earlier than in previous years.
My sister and I went up early in the morning, just in time for the weary birds in the forest to return to their nests, and the sun rose from the dense mountain forest, waking up countless flying crows.
In the morning, the mountain air was crisp and the breeze was floating, probably because of the rush up the mountain, and the sweat on my neck met with the cold wind, forcing me to sneeze a few times. My sister walked in front, and when she saw this, she hurriedly stopped and asked me, "Little sister, but it's blown by the mountain wind, why don't we rest?"
I only felt that my nose was a little itchy, thinking that it was because of the sweating that provoked the evil wind, but I didn't want my sister to worry: "I'm fine, sister, let's go." Teachers should be in a hurry when they are late! β
When she saw that I had strode up to follow, she didn't insist, so she simply put the carmine shawl draped over her shoulders and put it on my shoulders: "Okay, when we see Mr. Gu, we don't have to rush down the mountain, call someone to send a shawl up first."
"Where is it so troublesome, the family can't do without people, so don't let Han's mother worry about it." As I spoke, I returned the shawl to my sister and walked forward.
Ningyuan is located on the floating platform on the west side of the mountaintop, covering an area of 10,000 acres, and is a private manor with a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The main family, the Gu family, is the owner of the manor that we visited on the order of our teacher.
He was 42 years old, looked younger than he was, and wore a well-cut gray suit, a small head, and a pair of round-rimmed glasses with gold rimmed. When he speaks, his voice is low, and he has the style of a big family.
"Ling Zun's name Rulin has heard of it for a long time, but he has never visited it, and he is really afraid that he will surprise your mansion. Now that Yaoshan has recommended it, I have to bring a dog to bother me. β
"Mr. Gu is polite, my father and teacher are still afraid that Mr. will not appreciate the light, so they let Sister Mingzhao come here to respectfully invite. Now that Mr. has agreed, it is time for Ming Zhao to take his little sister to leave. β
"Miss Liu, wait a minute, how can there be a reason for a distinguished guest to leave without drinking tea, Mother Yang, go make tea and prepare breakfast. Please don't shirk it. When he said this, my sister and I couldn't say anything. It's just that I didn't have anything to say hello, and this trip was more of an errand business, and now I am so detached from listening to their politeness that I come and go, it's really uncomfortable to be nervous.
However, Mr. Gu is worthy of being a middle and high master, and in just a few minutes, he has naturally talked to his sister about the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with his teacher. And I could only sit there like a pins and needles, looking at a picture of Gu Kaizhi's lady in a daze.
"I think the second lady is a lively person, and she shouldn't be detained to listen to us talk about these old things, so I might as well ask someone to accompany her to the garden. The peach blossoms in Ningyuan are blooming very well, and I think you have already seen them when you go up the mountain. β
My sister glanced at me, and then said to Mr. Gu apologetically: "Han Zhao is a playful person, he can't sit still, don't blame sir." When I saw my sister say this, she acquiesced to my departure. So when they finished speaking, they waved lightly towards Mr. Gu, and also said: "Mr. and my sister are talking about the university questions that are applied to the world, and they are rarely talented, so they can only say some small truths that are not well studied, so I should go to the garden to enjoy the small flowers."
Mr. Gu nodded, looked at me and smiled at my sister: "The second young lady is articulate, it is Gu who is a pedant."
"It's Mr. who is humble, and Han Zhao has retired."
After I finished speaking, I didn't wait for my sister to speak, and ran out of the house.
"It's finally comfortable, suffocating me." I exhaled a lot and saw a few children crouching together in the distance, not knowing what to do.
So, I also ran briskly to take a look.
"What are you doing?"
The children were startled by the sudden sound and looked at me one by one. When he reacted, he looked at me and asked, "Who are you?"
I was a childlike child and decided to tease them. So he cleared his throat and said in the tone of the play: "I, I am a fairy turned into a mountain tree, and I will turn you into a fairy." How about it, follow me to be a happy fairy, right? β
"You lie, in "Journey to the West", it is said that the mountains and trees have become monsters, so they are not fairies."
"Wow, you've read "Journey to the West" at such a young age, it's amazing." I think he is only four or five years old, and he is smart and quick-witted, and it is obvious that the Gu family attaches great importance to enlightenment in education.
"That's nature, so don't try to lie to us. Otherwise, tell Brother Shaoqing that I want you to look good. "The little kid doesn't know how to lift, and when he speaks, he shows off his might, and he is simply unseen.
"Shaoxun."
I was about to make a mockery, intending to educate this little guy who didn't know the height of the sky, but a young master in a suit who seemed to be even more helpless walked up.
When the little kid saw that the eldest brother in his mouth really appeared, he immediately ran to him and shook the young man's arm coquettishly: "Big brother, this sister doesn't know where she came from, and she deceives people with one mouth."
Mom, come up and sue.
"Well, I'm sorry, I seem to have made a mistake." I don't want to cause trouble, so after thinking about it, it's better to turn around and slip away. Who would have thought that the young man in front of him didn't think so. I only heard him whisper, and he walked up to me for a long time, and opened his mouth slowly: "This girl, is what my brother said true?" Does the girl come to coax the child as soon as she opens her mouth? β
I turned my head with difficulty, and I wanted to pull the collar of the person in front of me and say domineeringly: "The old lady is a liar, what can you do?" But the fact is that I looked like I was calm, pointing to the child next to me who didn't speak, trying to find some friendship and help: "Hehe, misunderstanding, misunderstanding." I'm just curious what they're doing, teasing them, how can they be deceiving? Don't believe you ask them? β
"Is that so?"
"We didn't know her, and she said she was going to take us to be fairchild. Brother Shaoqing, what does Fairchild do? β
"I'd love to ask this sister too."
"This ...... This"
"Oh, Miss Liu is looking for you." At this moment, Mama Yang appeared out of nowhere, which can be regarded as temporarily saving my life.
At this time, she was more like a grandma who sang on stage in the play, holding my hand and explaining affectionately to the young master in front of her.
While thanking Mama Yang for appearing in time, I secretly pursed my lips and smiled. The people in Ning Yuan are more likely to sing than the other, the big ones seem to be calm, the small ones are powerful, the foxes are fake tigers, and even the people around them are good at singing.
"Okay, Mama Yang, I won't do anything to the young lady in front of me. Go back and tell my wife that I'll just go on the weekend. The young man was obviously annoyed by Mama Yang's singing and beating, and ignored the children who were pulling him, and walked straight around me towards the garden.
I snickered and put down Mama Yang's hand holding me, grimaced at the guys, and prepared to leave: "Thank you, Mama Yang."
"Where to speak, where to speak, the master told me to take care of the young lady, but I didn't pay attention. Our eldest young master......"
"Huh?" I was waiting for her to continue, but Mother Yang suddenly stopped talking. I turned my head suspiciously, and I saw a black face with an expressionless face.
"I'm just coming back to tell you that I'm having dinner at the restaurant this morning."
"Yes...... Gentleman. β
Ning Yuan's restaurant is built on a bluestone water platform, surrounded by mist, mountain springs gurgling, each plate of food is placed in a basket, pushed by the water to reach the position of the table, and then taken out by the next person and served on the counter for people to enjoy. Dining in such a place full of water lilies shows that the owner is not ordinary and will enjoy.
With the episode just now, several children of the Gu family began to make all kinds of grimaces around me when they saw me, and some people even asked to say that they wanted to sit next to me. Seeing this, the gentle and polite Mr. Gu was about to nod his head in agreement when he was about to say a few words, but the young master Gu, who was killed halfway, interrupted his father's speech at the right time:
"Father, Shaoxun doesn't know how to be polite, why don't you let him mess around? Miss Liu is a distinguished guest, and she should ask me, as an elder brother, to accompany her, how can she let Shaoxun be accompanied by a child. What do you say? Miss Liu. β
I gritted my teeth, isn't this sanctimonious hypocrite just joking with children? As for it, Niang Sipi.
I rolled my eyes, and was about to say something in return, when my sister stopped me from talking.
"Han Zhao usually likes children very much, and always likes to joke with them, presumably she was naughty again just now."
My sister was humble, but she didn't expect that person to be an inch, so she answered very unceremoniously: "It's very naughty."
At this moment, even Mrs. Gu, who had been sitting on the side, couldn't help but let out a burst of happy laughter.
"Oh, sir. This is the first time that we have taken the initiative to ask to accompany the guests to dinner, and I think that the second miss Bingxue is smart, lively and cute, so I want to make a joke with this girl. β
Be extremely intelligent? Where do you see that I'm smart? Lively and cute?
I continued to roll my eyes, thinking to myself that this family is really all masters in the play, and they speak better than they sing.
And when my sister heard this, she could only smile awkwardly.
It just so happened that at this time, Mother Yang came, she held a Gu mung bean barley and lily porridge, and told everyone euphemistically that the dishes were all ready to be seated.
Gu Rulin took the lead in taking a seat, pointed to the seat next to me and asked Gu Shaoqing to take care of me, which was the end of this little dispute. And said to his sister: "I should have invited Miss Liu to dinner, but Miss Liu has something to do, so I have to invite it next time, so I will use some early today."
"No, it's Ming Zhao who should thank Mr. and Mrs. for their kindness." My sister said unhurriedly, neither humble nor arrogant, and seemed polite in her gentleness.
On the other hand, Mrs. Gu on the side, seeing that everyone didn't answer her words, looked like a fried rooster, looking funny and funny, and a little uncomfortable.
"Mom, I'm going to eat that crab roe roe roasted wheat." Among the people present, only Gu Shaoxun and a few children are ignorant of the world, so they will break the peace without fear.
Mrs. Gu was worried that she had nowhere to get angry, and looked at her son who only knew how to eat: "Eat, eat, you know how to eat, don't you see that everyone is not moving chopsticks?"
Where did the child think so much, and when he heard that the adults were angry with him, he immediately burst into tears. Seeing this, Gu Rulin spoke in a deep voice: "What's the matter with you today?" Don't know the rules at home? β
"I ...... sir"
It turned out that Gu Rulin was 42 years old, Gu Shaoqing looked like he was 20 years old, and Mrs. Gu in front of her was at most twenty-seven or eighteen years old, so she didn't look like someone who could give birth to a son like Gu Shaoqing. Steproom? Concubine? Mrs. Aunt? Combined with the unnatural expression and words she said when she was just called Mrs. by her sister, the answer is self-evident.
"If you can't speak, go upstairs and stay there, so as not to be embarrassed here." Gu Rulin's words were like a dull awl, poking everyone present as if they had been stabbed in a bloody hole.
My sister and I felt even more embarrassed, this was someone else's family matter, and Mr. Gu reprimanded his wife despite the presence of outsiders, no matter what, it was always uncomfortable. Seeing that she had lost face, Mrs. Gu simply left us and cried and went upstairs.
"It's always like this, and I can't eat a breakfast." Gu Shaoqing chuckled.
I sat next to him, and somehow I had a strange feeling. Overhead is a transparent glass window, shining on the blue sky, and on the other side of the sky is the blue sea, the color of the sea gradually deepens, densely circled into a flower...... However, around this flower, there seem to be layers of blood and tears, so mushy that people can't take their eyes off. It's weird!
"You don't have to be weird, you will personally send Miss Liu down the mountain for me after breakfast." Gu Rulin said, and without waiting for Gu Shaoqing to answer, he turned his head to his sister and said, "Let Miss Liu smile, let's eat."
I saw Gu Shaoxun on the other side sobbing and crying, picked up a crab roe roe roe roasted wheat and put it on his plate: "Don't you want to eat roasted wheat?" If it's cold, it won't taste good. β
"Who wants you to clip it to me?" The child played awkwardly.
"Gu Shaoxun, you ......" Gu Rulin was not calm again.
"Mr. Gu, let's solve the child's affairs by ourselves." I interrupted Gu Rulin's words with a smile, and put the roasted wheat that had just been thrown on another plate by the little kid into my mouth, and ate it with relish.
"You...... Why do you eat my siu mai! β
"I let you, you're not rare. So I ate it. β
"I ...... I, I'm going to eat too. Before he finished speaking, a yellow-orange-orange crystal clear roasted wheat was handed over by a pair of slender hands. Big Brother ......"
"Aren't you clamoring to eat, eat quickly."
"Oh."
My sister and I have returned home for three days, and because of Mr. Gu's insistence, we have to trouble the young master of the Gu family, who is said to not usually meet guests, to escort him by car.
In fact, it doesn't have to be like this, where does the Liu family need to pay so much attention to the Gu family today?
Along the way, my sister and I didn't have the desire to talk to this eldest young master, because I really didn't want to have too much to do with such a person who must be revenged, and my sister was probably tired from the morning greetings, so she kept sitting in the back seat with her eyes closed. And the eldest young master, who is not smiling, must not be in a much better mood at this time.
When the car passed by the stone gate of Jiangning Fang, I saw Han Ma and Mu Bo standing at the gate looking forward to it, and now the old people who have been following my father at home still take our sisters as if they were babies, and they have to stand at the door for a long time when they go out of the small door.
"The task is complete, thank you Young Master Gu for the car. I won't leave you to drink tea, I know you can't get used to it. I called my sister as I pushed the car door open and tried to get out of the car.
My sister was about to say thank you, but when she heard me say this, she didn't say anything about thanks, and turned back to teach me: "Liu Hanzhao, how did your father and mother usually educate you?" Where's your kindergarten training? β
I was about to argue, but the man opened his mouth first: "Sister Liu, don't be surprised, since my father asked me to give them away, I guess I didn't take the two as outsiders." The two of them are the disciples of Mr. Yaoshan, so we are also from the same school, and I have to respect you as a senior sister and call Sister Hanzhao a senior sister! β
His junior sister shouted very hard, it turned out that if he didn't speak all the way, he was thinking about how to change the way to take advantage of me, good you fake foreign devil, I, Liu Hanzhao, have not been vegetarians since I was a child. In that case, don't blame me for being on the needle.
"Sister, since the senior brother has said so, then on the third day of March, we will wait for Mr. Gu and the senior brother's big - drive - !"
"You kid, Senior Brother Gu is not strange. Thank you for today, let's go in and have a cup of tea. My sister still invited Gu Shaoqing with a smile, but the tone of her voice was much closer than just now.
"Senior sister, you see that my father is still waiting for me to go back to my life, and I will definitely bother another day."
"Then I won't keep you, and I'll entertain you another day."
"Definitely. Goodbye, little sister! β
I wondered how it was possible to suddenly change sex in the blink of an eye, and this change was too fast. Before I could think about it, Han Ma and Mu Bo had already surrounded me, one asked if our trip was going well, and the other asked if I was hungry.
Before we could answer, a little girl came and said that the master had invited the eldest lady to come over, and my sister briefly explained a few words to me, and followed her to the study in a hurry. I jumped up and down to my room to ask my mother for credit.
The spring afternoon is sunny, the vendors on the banks of the Qinhuai River have lunch and put out the new goods early, and the grandmother who sells flowers on the street is not far behind, carrying a bamboo plate made of bamboo baskets, holding three or two magnolia flowers, as well as jasmine and gardenias. The faint white faint fragrance, accompanied by the soft and glutinous selling of the grandmother, instantly filled the entire Nanjing city.
Seeing this, Ah Mei in the stall in the distance shouted at the top of her voice: "Osmanthus, Little Lantern Festival...... Osmanthus, small lantern festival ......"
"Wow, Han Zhao, I'm hungry, let's go eat the osmanthus little lantern festival." Before I could speak, Wu Haizhu had already dragged me to the food and chemical shop across the street and ordered two bowls of small lantern festivals.
Today is the last holiday that my father and sister gave me, and after tomorrow on March 3rd, after my father held an apprenticeship ceremony for me in front of all my relatives and friends, I will be like a new-style girl of this age, and I will also run to the foreign school to go to middle school. When it comes to studying, I don't want to, in the early years, when the family was doing well, my father and mother also invited me to hire a lot of private school teachers, but at that time, there were no "Mr. Toku" and "Mr. Sai" like "democracy" and "science". What has been learned is nothing more than a subset of scriptures and histories, etc., which are now used to be defeated. In any case, although the father is a child from an old-style family, he has a considerable tacit understanding with the teacher when it comes to educating his children. This can be regarded as one of the reasons why they can become friends and fathers have to hold an apprenticeship ceremony.
The small Lantern Festival is as white as jade, soft and glutinous, and the rich aroma of osmanthus flowers, although it is placed in a not very elegant white bowl, it still attracts me and Haizhu to salivate. After I quickly swept the only remaining Lantern Festival, I shouted to the enthusiastic sister: "Little sister, have another bowl, this time put more red beans."
"Okay."
Wu Haizhu was dumbfounded: "Liu Hanzhao, we haven't gone to the Confucius Temple yet, don't you eat anything else?"
"Gee, I don't care. I'm going to eat three bowls today, and I'm not free tomorrow! By the way, tomorrow is my apprenticeship, don't you express it? I smirked evilly, staring at Haizhu across from me with a creepy smile.
"What do you want?" Wu Haizhu stumbled and stumbled, as if I wanted her to pick the moon.
"Haha, I don't have any special ideas, why don't you just invite me to eat the little Lantern Festival!"
"Okay, eat as much as you want, I'll treat you." The male voice that I remembered at first glance sounded in my ears with a narrow smile, how did that voice sound like I had heard it somewhere.
Gu Shaoqing!
You don't have to think about it to know the hateful expressions of Wu Haizhu and the guy on the other side at this time. "Han Zhao, you ...... You don't give me an introduction? whoarethey?β Wu Haizhu cautiously pointed to the two young masters in suits who suddenly appeared behind me and said softly, as if he was afraid that I would eat her.
But my expression now really feels like I want to eat people, and I really don't meet in life. Nanjing City is so big, but I met the romantic Senacho, or the Chinese version! "Senacho" happens to be a foreign movie that the first few **** and Hai Zhu watched newly.
"Ahem." I coughed twice, indicating that I was normal, and then got up very calmly, turned my head, and spoke: "There is no need for Lantern Festival, I am not familiar with Master Gu to the point of inviting guests to dinner." Haizhu, let's go. With that, I dropped 18 copper plates and pulled Haizhu out.
"Yo, Shaoqing, this little sister is very spicy! What, see? Uncle He looked at Gu Shaoqing with a pleasant expression on his face, whistling.
"Which eye do you see I like?" Gu Shaoqing asked him rhetorically.
"Tsk...... Tsk, I see it in all four eyes. β
"I just thought it was fun to tease her."
"That's good, people like us, it's better not to be emotional. Let's go, the lake tour will start immediately. β
It is said to be swimming in the lake, but in fact it is swimming in the river. Every year in spring, the flower workshops on both sides of the Qinhuai River will hold a lantern festival, which is called the spring Naji. This festival has a history of nearly 2,000 years since the beginning of the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. The customs on the way have changed and changed, but only the tradition of visiting the lake in the flower workshop has been preserved. Today's spring is beautiful, the sun shines on the river, floating one after another sparkling circles. Standing on the bridge and looking down, the girls on the boat were wearing cheongsams and smearing incense powder, and they were dressed up in red and willow green, so they were not enchanting.
Haizhu and I stood at the head of the bridge, but I didn't expect such an affair. I thought in my heart that I had hit some kind of good luck, and I could catch up with such a good time, and I could also be like a big man with the demeanor of Qin Huai's top brand, isn't that a character like Liu Rui and Chen Yuanyuan?
Thinking of this, we also chanted along with the tourists in the stands.
"Yo, Shaoqing, isn't that the little sister just now?"
Gu Shaoqing also saw me shouting the other side of the bridge: "That stupid girl, it's really ......"
"Hey...... Hey, where are you going, Shaoqing......" Uncle He was so remorseful that he wanted to hit the wall, why did he have more mouths for no reason, isn't this chasing ducks to the shelves to ask for hardship?
"What are you doing?" At this time, I was angrily shaking off Gu Shaoqing's hand covering my mouth, and glared fiercely at this young master in a suit who came out of nowhere. Inexplicably, I took a good look at my top card, and as soon as he came up, he covered my mouth and pulled it out, what is going on!
"Liu Hanzhao, it seems that your Liu family is really enlightened and enlightened, although now in 1920, the world doesn't seem to be open to this point, right? Or have all of your family been to Paris? So don't care? β
What nonsense?
I call you a senior brother, do you really take yourself seriously?
"Gu Shaoqing, Master Gu ......"
"We seem to have only met for the second time, right?"
"The third time." Gu Shaoqing replied sincerely.
"Oh, you're so enthusiastic about the girls you met for the third time?"
Gu Shaoqing's broad and beautiful eyebrows were tightly twisted because of my question, I knew that my expression must be abominable and hateful at this time, but there was no way, in front of this person, I didn't seem to have learned how to be a quiet and chaste Chinese lady.
Just when the two of us were tense and did not give in to each other, two unanimous sounds broke the peace at this time, which can be regarded as temporarily relieving us of the pervasive gunsmoke.
He Shutong and Haizhu rushed forward one after the other, pulling us to both sides of the bridge. One said that the apprentice of Xiao Fengxian, the top brand of Sixi Building, was coming soon, and the other said that he found that there was a tofu seller in the Gongyuan, and he thought of a way to coax the two of us to separate.
As for me, I naturally enjoyed it, and that one must have been choked up, so he simply shook his hands and left. Eh...... That's right, don't be careful. Aside from today, who would have noticed that there were two female students shouting at the Qinhuai Bridge? The people of Nanjing City must be more willing to pay attention to which flower shop is prosperous, as for the family, I don't say it, Haizhu doesn't say it, who will know what we did?
Wait, tomorrow! Why did I forget that Mr. Gu will also bring his son to the door tomorrow, this son ......
"Hey...... Wait......"
"Han Zhao, where are you going?" When Haizhu saw me running towards the bridge again, he couldn't help but follow me.
At this time, Uncle He and Gu Shaoqing were walking towards the Shuixi Teahouse on the other side of the river, and when they saw us catching up, Uncle He greeted me with a smile, but the person next to him had a stiff expression on his face that he didn't know this person, and it seemed that he was angry with me.
"What's the matter with my little sister!" He Dashao smiled.
"Actually... That, do the two young masters want to drink tea? Why don't I invite you two to tea? "I looked flattering.
Hai Zhu probably didn't expect my attitude to change so quickly, so he couldn't help but pull my sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What the hell are you doing?"
"You'll find out in a moment." I gave her a look.
Uncle He saw that the two of us were eyebrows, sneaky, and did not break it, but said in a very gentlemanly manner: "Since my sister has a heart, I will still be the host, please invite the two girls to go upstairs and taste tea."
Hai Zhu was about to politely decline, but I thanked him very doggedly, and pulled Hai Zhu up to the second floor with a stunned face.
Spring in Nanjing is not like the north, when the sun is good, the wind becomes soft, clean and slow, greasy caressing people's faces, there is a sense of tranquility and fullness.
The view from the window on the second floor of the teahouse is excellent, looking up at the sunny sky with clear water, and a green tile house with inky white drainage below, with the Qinhuai water swaying with green willows on both sides of the river. The flower shop in the lake opened, and I don't know who led the shouting of "Little Phoenix", and the buzz of people also increased. The storyteller in the teahouse couldn't say anything when he saw the book, so he simply threw away the drum gong and babbled and hummed a little song, which can be regarded as adding a touch of fun to this strange and beautiful tour of the lake.
"This old gentleman can think openly, knowing that everyone has no mind, and he is not angry, but funny." Uncle He said, pointing to the empty seat on the left and lowering his voice: "Shaoqing, this is not like you." He said it in a weird way, and Gu Shaoqing also ignored him.
However, He Dashao has been an indomitable and stubborn character since he was a child, and the more you make a look of ignoring people, the more he has to break the casserole and ask in the end: "Shaoqing, I think you are eighty percent in love with that girl." You Gu Dashao is usually more generous, how can you become cautious in front of other little girls. Strange, so weird. β
"She really wanted to invite us to tea, obviously because she was afraid that my father and I would see her father sue tomorrow. If it's sincere, why are you running to see the excitement again? β
"Oh, it turned out to be for this face. Why don't I help you with some tips? He Shutong deliberately dragged out his voice, and the joke was full of meaning. Gu Shaoqing ignored him and drank tea by himself.
Haizhu and I watched the lake and ate tea, and felt that this trip was really worth it, so uncomfortable. At this time, the sun is setting in the west, and bright red oil-paper lanterns gradually rise on both sides of the river, and the light is mixed with the daylight, and the human face is also dyed with a layer of pin. I saw that the grandmother who sold flowers was also sorting out the bamboo plates, and took Hai Zhu's hand and prepared to say goodbye: "Thank you so much for Young Master He and Senior Brother for taking us to tea today, it's not too early, and Hai Zhu and I won't delay the two." Let's take our leave. β
Gu Shaoqing snorted coldly, and probably heard the meaning of my words, the tea was invited by them, and the teahouse happened to meet the top card in the lake, so it happened to be seen, and it was invited by the senior brother, so it was not easy to excuse himself, so if he wanted to blame the top card, he could only blame himself?
He thought I was going to plead, but since he came to the teahouse, he could be regarded as a soft contempt for the previous matter, and if he said a few good words, he would not meet me. Unexpectedly, I didn't follow the routine, ate his tea, and still followed the crowd to watch the top cards, and I was even more fun than before, and threatened him before leaving!
Only Uncle He didn't know why, thinking that I was sincerely thanking, and he didn't shirk, got up and glanced at him, and said with a grin: "I heard Shaoqing say that my sister will officially worship under Mr. Yaoshan tomorrow, and I will congratulate my sister here." My little sister will also go to Jinling School to study in a few days, and I can introduce you to you at that time. β
I glanced at the person next to me who didn't say a word, and also grinned: "The sister of my senior brother and friend's friend is naturally my friend, and I will definitely pay a visit then." Then Brother He, I'll take my leave? β
After that, without waiting for the person's reaction, I pulled Haizhu up and walked downstairs in a comfortable mood, only Uncle He's hearty laughter echoed on the second floor.
Leaving the Confucius Temple, the small shops that closed early on the street have been lined up, but the big archway with thriving business is full of people. Haizhu and I walked on the gravel road, and one of us was holding a flower that I bought from my grandmother, and we were happy.
"Han Zhao, why are you so hostile to that Gu Shaoqing? Has he sinned against you? Haizhu made his own definition.
"Look at what you said, am I Liu Hanzhao that kind of person? We've only seen it three times. β
"Then why are you playing tricks on people, I think he's very good, and he's good-looking." Haizhu was puzzled. "Who made him nosy and sarcastic about our family."
"It's not that serious, didn't my uncle ask my eldest cousin to invite his father, Mr. Gu, to attend your apprenticeship tomorrow?"
"That's when the teacher said that Mr. Gu has been quite famous in both academic and political circles in recent years, and if my father can take the opportunity of my apprenticeship to make friends, it will be a good thing for Liu. It's not that you don't know that in addition to my sister and me's studies over the years, what my father values most is to revitalize Liu's lintel. β
"Mr. Yaoshan, his old man is really concerned about your family's affairs, and my father will not let him go."
