Chapter 27: The Great Place of the Capital
Brother Yu came out of the Spring Garden alone and went all the way to the Autumn Frost Pavilion in the northwest. Seeing that there was still half a year to go, he didn't dare to relax for a moment. All the way from his hometown, he has been studying and making articles, and he has never slacked off for a day.
He had just walked to the middle of nowhere, when he heard footsteps behind him, which sounded as if they were coming towards him.
Brother Yu stopped and turned to look over. I saw a brightly dressed girl walking over, and as she approached, the smell of rouge gouache came to my nose. He felt a little choked and panicked, and subconsciously took two steps back.
Good cousin, the slave maid is called Xia He, and she is the big girl next to the four girls. She flashed her big eyes twice and smiled in what she thought was the most beautiful way.
Four girls? Brother Yu thought of that skinny cousin, what did she send the girl over?
Brother Yu waited for a while, and saw that Xia He blinked his eyes twice more and was silent, and felt sorry for Xia He in his heart, looking at how a good girl has an eye disease? If Xia He knew that he was being treated as sick, I don't know if he would be angry.
Young Master Cousin has to study hard every day, although this is a good thing, but he must pay attention to his body. She said gently and considerately, the slave maid has homemade flower tea here, mixed with honey and drunk together, refreshing and nourishing. As she spoke, she took out a bag of things, wrapped in a brocade handkerchief embroidered by herself, with a cross-necked mandarin duck on it.
Brother Yu took it and said: You went back and thanked the fourth sister for me, I bothered her. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Well, what's going on? What a nerd who doesn't even understand this. Xia He looked at his distant back and stomped his feet angrily, but there was a little joy in his heart. Before he met his cousin, Xia He just wanted to be able to change from a slave who waited for people to a master who was waited for. If the young master is vulgar and ugly, she will admit it, but the young master is talented and personable, how can she not be surprised!
And Brother Yu'er is not open to the love between men and women, which proves that he has not been in love much. This time when I came to the capital, there were only two little girls by Aunt Li's side, and it seemed that they were still waiting for their mothers. There is no person with red sleeves around the young master, which really makes Xia He feel that there is an opportunity. Although the Feng family picked six girls to wait for him, Xia He thought that they were mediocre and not as beautiful as himself. Besides, they only know a few big characters, and Xia He can memorize a few poems.
After thinking about it, Xia He felt that he had a great opportunity, so he had the scene just now.
Brother Yu'er's mind is only in books, where do you know the bends in her heart? And there is only a small guy by his side, who is usually only responsible for going out with him, and he has not had much contact with the girl. He thought that the flower tea was given by Youyi, and he didn't look elsewhere.
Xia He threw away his wink, gave something, and made up his mind to make the young master look at him differently. She slipped back to the Spring Garden, and when she saw that everyone didn't notice that she was going and returning, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Youyi glanced at her and didn't say much.
Yunyi is introducing the customs of the capital to Wanrou, there is a large maple tree on the mountain behind Qingyan Temple, and it is a good time to enjoy the autumn leaves in a few days. When the time came, we begged my grandmother and wife to take us to the incense and enjoy the autumn leaves. Every year in September and October, the pilgrims of Qingyan Temple increase. Young talents like to call three or five friends there to enjoy the autumn leaves, chant poems, and talk about the past and the present. Those ladies of the family also like to go, even the nobles inside the vermilion wall have also been!
There are no maple trees in Cangzhou, and there are no young ladies from the family, and they can't even hear the words of the nobles. Their sisters and their mother have been running at home all the year round, and they live in a small place, and now when they hear Yunyi's words, they feel that there is another world in their lives.
A few of their sisters chattered lively, and the Feng family sent a girl to urge, saying that they would let the sisters who came from afar take a little rest, and they would have time to get tired of being together in the future. The two sisters, Wanruo and Wanrou, listened to the farewell of the sisters, and the two walked back side by side, admiring the delicacy of the garden as they walked.
There was only one girl by their side, who they brought from Cangzhou, and they were the henchmen of the two sisters.
Sister, my aunt's family is really rich. I saw that the hands of several cousins were white and tender, delicate and smooth, where they looked like our sisters' hands, except for the eye of the needle, there were small calluses on them. Looking at the situation, and listening to them again, they didn't have to do anything every day. The second cousin likes to be a red girl, but whether she does it or not, how much she does, completely depends on her own mood, where is it like us? Originally, I thought that the girl's family was like this, but now it seems that it is really wrong. Wanrou is a younger sister, and her temperament is slightly more lively. When she was at home, she occasionally complained that she had to work until midnight, and her tired eyes, wrists, and neck were sore.
As if she was thirteen this year, she was already a big girl, she glanced at her sister and replied: Although we are in the capital now, our home is still the same home, and we have to live like before! When my father was alive, he often said, 'A woman is virtuous if she is not talented', and only when she can keep her duty and endure loneliness can she become a virtuous woman. You don't have to compare with your cousins, the family style is different, and you can't talk about the same day!
If you want me to say that I should follow the local customs. Wanrou pouted unconvinced, muttering quietly, I saw that my eldest cousin had a lot of books on the shelf, and there were poems written by her on the desk, and there was a piano in the corner, she must be versatile. Although the eldest cousin is only eleven, she vaguely reveals the mold of a beauty, plus her aunt's family is rich and rich, she will definitely find a good in-law in the future. I don't believe that she can't be a good woman?
I don't know how a girl who is ashamed dares to say anything! It's good to say this once in front of me, and next time I will go back to my mother to see if my mother can move the family law. Our Li family's family style is like this, don't think that there will be no one to restrain you when you arrive in the capital. If you break the house rules and are known by the elders of the clan, see if they don't punish you? It's like teaching my sister with a straight face.
The Li family pays special attention to the set of brothers, friends and brothers, and even sisters must pay attention to ethics. It's normal for an older sister to discipline her younger sister, and you can't talk back as a younger sister!
Wanrou pursed her lips when she heard this, and she didn't dare to fight again, but she was not convinced.
