Chapter 45: Reunion
Wisteria walked out of Linbo Tower, his steps were brisk, and the corners of his mouth were raised. I don't have to go to the front to serve, but I still get so many rewards, looking at the small bag of "property" wrapped in a floral cloth in my hand, Wisteria is happy in my heart, this time I can add a good head to Zirui's marriage.
When I was feeling beautiful in my heart, I saw Baojuan hurriedly coming over, and when she saw Wisteria, a smile appeared on her face. "Oh wisteria, I've found you." As he spoke, he patted his panting chest.
"Sister Baojuan, didn't you stay with Young Master Lang and Young Master Yue to serve today? How did you get here? ”
"It's that Young Master Yue wants to look for you, Mama Xu and Qin Niang can't coax it, there is really no way, I think this banquet should also start, so I asked me to look for you." Baojuan said as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Do you have any errands for your son, Mama Xu said that if there is, she will ask someone to talk to Mother Liu."
"No, just now the second lady said that she would let me wait and tell a few more stories, but Sister Shuangqiao said that I don't need to, so I have to go back to Graceland."
"That's right, come with me to Canglang Garden." Baojuan's face was happy.
"But ......" Wisteria looked at the flower cloth bag in his hand, what can I do with these things?
"I'll send you back, you can trust me." Baojuan saw her concerns and spoke.
When Wisteria heard Baojuan say this, she thought that this young master Yue must be making a lot of trouble, otherwise Mama Xu would not have sent Baojuan out to look for her, Xu was afraid that ordinary people would see that she had a job with her and would not be able to take her away.
"Look at what Sister Baojuan said, then I'll have you to run, just give it to my sister."
"Okay, you can go quickly." After speaking, he took the cloth bag in Wisteria's hand and hurriedly walked towards Graceland. Seeing that Baojuan was so anxious, Wisteria didn't dare to slack off, and turned into the middle road and ran to Canglang Garden.
As soon as I entered the Hanging Flower Gate, I heard Brother Yue'er's breathless voice, and when I looked up, the two young masters were standing in the middle of the courtyard, Mama Xu, Qin Niang and the attendants around me were all coaxing and persuading, but Brother Yue didn't listen, and still cried. Brother Lang looked like a little adult, turned back to his nurse and said, "How is this good, why is it so big, it's just a joke." ”
As he was talking, he raised his eyes and saw Wisteria coming in, so he shouted loudly: "Wisteria, are you telling a story or painting for Brother Yue'er." ”
Brother Yue'er, who was crying, immediately stopped crying when he heard his brother's words, and when he saw that it was indeed wisteria, he ran over, hugged her legs, and said softly:
"Wisteria, it's a horse, not a cow."
Wisteria looked up at everyone in confusion, and Mama Xu took a few pieces of paper from the girl's hand and handed them to Wisteria.
"Brother Yue drew a few horses to show Brother Lang, and Brother Lang said it was a cow. Brother Yue said that you taught him, what is it called shoe painting, no, the two young masters can't say anyone, so they ......"
Wisteria understood, a few days ago he taught Brother Yue to draw horses, Brother Yue had to give the color on the horse, where did she go to get paint, so she said that this was a freehand painting, and it was deliberately not allowed to paint. I didn't expect this kid to have a really good memory, but he didn't admit that he didn't draw it, and he had to prove himself in another way, Wisteria was a little weak in the cleverness of this little guy.
Wisteria took the painting and looked at it again and again, it was indeed not like a cow or a horse, what could a child under the age of three draw. looked down at Brother Yue'er's praying little face and the little adult who wanted to seek an answer two steps away. Wisteria squatted down slightly and said softly:
"If you want the slave to say, this painting of Young Master Yue is neither a cow nor a horse, but it is like the four unlikes?"
"What are the four dissimilarities?" Brother Lang hurriedly asked.
"Four is not like it, it is a legendary auspicious animal in ancient times, it is ......" Wisteria said as she picked up Brother Yue'er, who was listening carefully to her, and took one out to lead Brother Lang towards the main room. Mama Xu and a group of girls breathed a long sigh of relief and followed with hula.
After the two young masters heard Wisteria talk about these four dissimilarities, they asked Wisteria to draw them to show them. Usually, teaching Brother Yue to draw and tell stories is to use a screen to separate a place between the banquets, and it is okay for two people to add a desk, but today it is not so spacious to squeeze in a Lang Ge. Brother Lang tilted his body and looked at it for a while, then shouted that it was not good, and he had to change places.
Mama Xu wanted to take them to the room of the daily director of the Xu family, but Brother Lang thought that the bookcase there was not big, and the paper could not be spread, so he must die in the study, and Brother Yue also followed his brother and shouted to go. This Mama Xu couldn't be the master, so she sent the girl to go back to the world. After a while, Banrong beside the prince came, saying that the prince was approved, there was only one thing, only in the outer study, and the inner room could not be entered. After Mama Xu agreed, she sent someone to follow the two young masters and Wisteria to the prince's study in Canglang Garden.
Go around the shadow wall of the weeping flower gate of Canglang Garden and go to the right to the second room, where there are several small round stools carved from tree roots at the door. Pushing open the door is a small room with a suite, in which there is a large rosewood bookcase, on which is placed a stack of celebrity law posts, and several inkstones, and pen holders of different materials are placed on the right hand side of the bookcase. On the side of the bookcase near the door, there is a large Ru kiln vase, full of various painting scrolls. On the other side is a row of bookshelves that lead to the roof, crammed with books. On the left corner of the desk is a flower pot carved from an old wooden root, and inside is a blooming white chrysanthemum.
In addition, near the west wall, there is a tea table and two hoop chairs. There was a low door under the window, and the door to the inner room was tightly closed. After the two young masters entered the study, they did not rush to the bookcase as Wisteria thought, but stood in front of the bookcase in an orderly manner.
I saw a woman in her early 20s wearing an apricot yellow shirt, walked in lightly, and after saluting the two young masters, she took the paper out of the bookshelf familiarly, spread it on the table, and said to Mama Xu,
"You can use whatever you want on the table, and if the paper is not enough, the slave will pick it up."
Wisteria looked at the woman, who was a little older according to this age, combed the woman's hair in a bun, wore two pairs of beaded flowers, and a slightly powdered face, not the most beautiful, but clean and refreshing.
"There's Miss Lao Yanfu." Mama Xu smiled and said to the woman.
Wisteria suddenly reflected, this is one of the prince's rooms, waiting in the study. After saying this, Yanfu stopped talking, and retreated to the door of the inner study very measured to stand still.
Mama Xu only gave Wisteria at this time, according to the rules of the study.
Seeing Mama Xu walking out, Brother Lang walked to the Taishi's chair and patted him and asked Wisteria to come over and sit down and paint. Where did Wisteria dare to sit there, bent down and hugged Brother Yue'er, Brother Lang didn't need Wisteria to hug him, and he squeezed into the Taishi chair. The chair was very large, and it was not too crowded for the two children to sit there.
Qin Niang walked quickly to the window, supported the two windows with wooden strips, and went to the tea table to pour tea and bring it over. Wisteria spread out the paper that Yan Fu took, although he knew little about the ancient printing technology, but compared with the paper that taught Brother Yue to draw for a while, this paper must be of the highest quality.
Wisteria picked up the pen and began to draw seriously, because the height of the two children was not enough, simply stood on the chair to watch, after the painting, Brother Lang applauded, Brother Yue also shouted.
"Wisteria, how did you do that?" Longo asked, tugging at her sleeve.
"You must persevere, practice often, and have the spirit of foolishness moving mountains." Wisteria put away his smile, looking at the four dissimilarities he imagined, and felt a sense of guilt in his heart to coax children.
"What is the spirit of Yugong moving mountains," Brother Lang asked, tilting his head.
"The fool moves mountains is a story."
"Wisteria, tell stories, tell mountains" Brother Yue poked his head out from Brother Lang's side.
"Haha, you can't even understand what you're saying, you still have to listen to it, it's the fool who moves the mountain, not the mountain." Brother Lang laughed at his brother as he turned to look at Wisteria.
Wisteria hugged the two young masters down again, walked to the tea table, the two young masters sat down one by one, and a little girl brought a stool for Wisteria. With the breeze blowing in from the window, Wisteria slowly told the story that she hadn't told today.
Yue Zhen followed Banrong to Canglang Garden, one hand brushing the wet coat in front of him. Just at the banquet, Xie Hao, the second master of Huai'en Houfu, drank staggeredly, and looked at a little girl who served the food, so she couldn't stop watching with a wine glass, and just like that, a full glass of wine was spilled on her clothes. Because of the difference between himself and Xie Zhong's size, Xie Zhong sent a servant to lead him to change his clothes.
After Banrong led Yue Zhen to the first room, he went to find Mama Xu. Yue Zhen stood at the door of the house and looked at the various chrysanthemums on the low wall in the courtyard, and sighed slightly in his heart. Xu's love for chrysanthemums, every time the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, Zhiyuan will always play with all kinds of chrysanthemums and bring them back to Xu's to watch, even his own study is also to put a few pots.
Looking at Zhiyuan and his wife and He Meimei, Jiao'er crossed her knees, and then thought about her failed marriage, her wife who went early, and a daughter who would hide in her grandmother's arms when she saw her. His mother came to the autumn banquet this time, and when she returned, she would definitely talk to herself about the continuation of the string, which really disturbed him. If you can't be reconciled, like Zhiyuan and Xu, even if you get married again, you will be the same as your original partner, so what fun is there in life.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the giggling of children next door. Yue Zhen walked out, he knew that next door was Xie Zhong's study. Looking up, through the open window, the two sitting on either side of the tea table were Zhiyuan's two sons. A little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting on an embroidery stool, smiling and talking about something.
Yue Zhen stood still and listened carefully.
"They go so slowly, they only go once a year, so when will it be smoothed out." Longo asked.
"Yes, Young Master Lang's idea is the same as one of Yugong's neighbors! In the bend of the North Mountain, there was a wise old man who laughed at the fool and stopped him from doing it, saying, 'You are not wise! With your decrepit age and the strength you have left, you can't damage even a single grass on the mountain, and what can you do with the earth and rocks on these two mountains? ’”
Yue Zhen had been listening outside, from the casual at the beginning to the more and more strict expression later, until Banrong hurriedly came with his clothes and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Yue Zhen's gesture.
"Oh, I'll just say, how can an old man move away from the mountain, so that's the case." Brother Lang said with a grin after listening.
"Although it was the immortals who helped, if he didn't touch the immortals, would they come to help?"
"No, it won't." Brother Yue said.
"Yes, so, it was Yugong's perseverance that moved the immortals. I believe that even without the help of the gods, Yugong will definitely continue according to his ideas, do you say yes? ”
The two children rushed to say yes. Wisteria raised her head and smiled, filling her already beautiful face with color. Yue Zhen was slightly stunned, it turned out to be the little girl who bumped into herself and ran away with a red face, but she didn't expect it to be such a clever person.
