Chapter 027: Garden
The carriage traveled for two quarters of an hour and then arrived at the foot of the Queping Mountain.
The coachman opened the door, set up a brocade stool, and bowed to the side.
The four girls got out of the car first, followed by Shu Jinhua. didn't use the girl's help, got out of the car with neat steps, turned around and helped Shu Jinqi get off the wheel.
Standing at the foot of the mountain, Shu Jinhua looked at it.
Because the flower-viewing banquet belongs to the official banquet, the people are forbidden to play in Queping Mountain today, and there are officers and soldiers guarding the mountain. The businessmen who usually do some small business in Que Ping Shan also packed up their stalls and went home today.
Although there are no vendors setting up stalls at the foot of the mountain, it is still very lively, and the luxurious carriages of various noble families are parked on one side, and there is no shortage of delicately dressed ladies on the way to the mountain.
After the two sisters got out of the car, they handed over two flower notes at the guard, and the guards guarding the door let them go.
Shu Jinhua nodded secretly. Although the saint is young now, there are no concubines in the palace, and there are no nobles in the palace for the flower banquet, but there are many young ladies and sons of various families and nobles.
Over the years, Queping Mountain has been repaired very neatly. The road to the top of the mountain is all bluestone steps, and the road surface is wide. And not far from each other, there will be a wide platform, two or three pavilions hidden on the side of the road, for climbers to rest.
For Shu Jin's paintings, climbing a mountain is no different from walking on flat ground, but Shu Jinqi, who obviously lacks exercise, is not easy.
The group of six people walked for a while, and Shu Jinqi only had the strength to breathe.
"I knew I was so tired, so I didn't want to, and went straight up the mountain in a soft sedan chair." Finally climbed to the pavilion, Shu Jinqi suddenly collapsed on the stone bench. Biqing Pink Peach is also tired, but she is not like a delicate lady, and she still has the strength to fan Shu Jinqi.
Shu Jinhua sat aside, her face was not red and she was not panting, "Exercising more is good for your body, second sister hold on." ”
Shu Jin's chess teeth are itchy, but she can't do anything with Shu Jinhua, who let her not practice martial arts with Shu Jinhua in the first place.
"Sister Shu, are you resting here?" The two sisters were chatting when a woman's voice came from outside the gazebo.
Shu Jinqi turned his back to the woman, got up and turned around, only to find the woman under the stone steps, and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Sister Wang, come in and sit, you didn't take a soft sedan up the mountain?" ”
At the foot of the mountain, there is a row of soft sedan chairs waiting for the ladies to go up the mountain. Most of the ladies chose to sit in a sedan chair, and Shu Jinqi was accompanying Shu Jinqi to paint today, otherwise with her body, she would not have hiked up the mountain.
The beautiful woman in the bright yellow skirt walked into the pavilion slowly with a smile, took Shu Jinqi's hands, and said softly, "Father always says that I am not in good health and needs to exercise more. After speaking, he looked at Shu Jinhua on the side, "Is this the fourth lady?" I haven't seen you for many years, but it's really changed. ”
Shu Jinqi pulled Shu Jinqi over the painting and introduced, "It's not Scarlet, I just came back a few days ago, and I've been busy not asking you, so today I will take this opportunity to take her out and walk around." ”
Shu Jinqi knew that this fourth sister was usually very arrogant, and she was not happy to walk around with these delicate official ladies when she was a child, and she must not know who the woman in front of her was at this time.
"Fei'er, this is Miss Wang Wenrou of the Jingguo Mansion, one year older than you."
Shu Jinhua just looked at it, although she is a young lady of the Guogong Mansion, her demeanor is not unruly, and she is humble and polite to people. With a gentle and appropriate smile, Shu Jinhua saluted, "Sister Wang is good." ”
Wang Wenrou and Shu Jinqi have a good relationship, although she is the young lady of the Guogong Mansion, but the official positions of the elders in the family are not as high as Shu Gao, but they only enjoy the title. So when they usually interact with Shu Jinqi, neither of them is too well-behaved and more open-minded.
She had also heard of Shu Jin's name, and she had only been in contact with Shu Jinqi before, but Shu Jinhua had only heard of his name and not seen him. Seeing it today, I feel that the rumors are not true, and Shu Jin's every move does not seem rude, but generous and hearty, and his heart is also affectionate.
"Fourth sister, please get up." Wang Wenrou hurriedly picked up Shu Jinhua, and the smile on her face deepened, "Sister Shu and I can also be regarded as handkerchiefs, and the fourth sister is Sister Shu's sister, so I won't be shy once, can I call you the fourth sister?" ”
"My sister's honor, as long as Sister Wang doesn't dislike me." Shu Jinhua agreed, and her delicate appearance made Wang Wenrou step directly on her arm.
There were a few more strangers, and Shu Jinhua was not uncomfortable, but talked more than usual. Sitting down next to Wang Wenrou, the three little sisters chatted while admiring the flowers.
Shu Jinqi breathed a sigh of relief, originally thought that Scarlet Er didn't like to deal with outsiders, and she was still afraid of being cold. Unexpectedly, not only was there no cold scene, but Scarlet talked more than usual.
After resting for a while, Wang Wenrou's master and servant were added to the group and headed for the banquet on the top of the mountain.
Shu Jinhua really overestimated the body of the two sisters, and after taking the cup of tea, the two of them were out of breath again. Seeing a small soft sedan chair heading towards the top of the mountain, the group could only rest with stop-and-go.
After resting five times along the way, Shu Jinhua finally saw the top of the mountain.
There are not only women at the flower viewing banquet, but also sons and brothers from various families who will come to join in the fun. It's just that the men usually take the side door path uphill, and the road is not as flat as the main road, but there are more scenery of mountains and forests.
The scenery from the top of the mountain is more open, and there are many more varieties of osmanthus trees than at the bottom of the mountain. At this time, the sun is shining, the fragrance of flowers is coming, and the flower-age girls gathered in twos and threes are filled with a smart stroke to the charming scenery.
At this time, the banquet had not yet begun, and everyone was walking around at will. Since going up the mountain, everyone who knows Shu Jinqi has stepped forward to talk. Shu Jinqi also introduced Shu Jinqi's paintings to everyone, who only returned home recently.
After a while, Shu Jinhua got to know a lot of people, but he really didn't have the mood to socialize.
Shu Jinqi looked at Shu Jinqi looking listless, and thought to himself that he didn't lose his temper and leave, thank God. He no longer dragged people to socialize, but let Bi Jing take Shu Jin's paintings to a secluded flower gallery to rest.
Send Bijing back to Shu Jinqi's side, Shu Jinhua sat on the chaise longue under the flower corridor and closed his eyes to rest, and the plum makeup and bamboo rhyme behind him did not make a sound to disturb.
The flower gallery is behind the slope of the top of the mountain, a little away from the banquet venue, so at this time, only Shu Jinhua and the three people are here, away from everyone, and the flower gallery seems quiet and serene.
Those who wander on another hill just take this soft and tranquil scene to the truth.
