Chapter 111 Pastoral House (2nd Watch)

In early autumn, the sky is clear and high, and it is as clear as a wash. The wind is mixed with the smell of fruit, so comfortable that people want to lie down on the yellowish grass, use the sky as the quilt and the ground as the bed, and sleep well.

Gu Jiayuan adheres to the Jiangnan garden pavilions, pavilions, rockeries, ponds, distant and close views, staggered style, behind a flower wall, winding paths and secluded, from there through, is another scenery.

I saw green grass, surrounded by dozens of fruit trees and a few depressions of vegetables. There are reed hens with chicks foraging, cattle herding babies playing willow flutes sitting on the back of cows, and several village girls wearing hats and blue cloth jackets watering in the vegetable fields. These village girls are all slender, handsome and lovely, and when you ask, you know that they are specially selected pretty girls.

Jin Zifeng sighed secretly, the family is the family, just talking about this garden, it is already meticulous, the finishing touch, he can't help but think of the high hanging ink treasures in the West Mansion, and can't help but sigh lightly, compared with here, it is a vassal elegance.

As soon as he turned around, he saw a smile on the corner of Linglong's mouth, looking at the scenery in front of him with appreciation, his black and white eyes were clear and transparent, as bright as a star.

She, a boudoir lady who has not read a few books, also understands this kind of idyllic atmosphere under the leisurely fence?

Jin Zifeng thought of his other sister Jin Yuan, he watched Jin Yuan grow up, and he was closer to Jin Yuan than the exquisiteness of his mother. But if Jin Yuan is here at this time, I'm afraid I'm going to dislike it.

He used to think that Linglong's aggressiveness was inherited from the Feng family, but now it seems that she is not like the Feng family, but she is not like her father, she has grown up in the old mansion since she was a child. Just look at the grandmother and Jiao's family, they can't raise such a girl, and the girl who can make Xu Tingshen, who has been scholarly for generations, and Gu Jinzhi, who is rich and natural, look calm and quiet at first glance, and have a good heart, but occasionally they are a little naΓ―ve and a little aggressive, just like a complex of contradictions, but they are not out of harmony, just right.

Who is she like?

"Jin Sanye. The maidservant is called bluegrass. It's waiting for Miss Six, and our Miss Six and Miss Seven are in the grass pavilion over there, so let the maid come and invite Miss Jin Wu over. "The girl who spoke was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing plain beaded flowers and red gold oil studs. Be generous and decent.

Linglong bowed to his brother and Gu Jinzhi on the side. Then he followed the bluegrass. After walking far away, she can still feel that there are eyes following her, of course it won't be her brother Jin Zifeng. Gu Jinzhi is also too Meng Lang.

Miss Gu Liu, Gu Jieyu, was fifteen years old, wearing a water-blue crocus folded branch pattern gown, a goose-yellow horse-faced skirt embroidered with orchids, and only two hairpins with mutton fat jade inserted in her hair.

Miss Gu Qi Gu Yanran wore a beige placket with an indigo plum blossom bamboo leaf embroidered collar on a white background, a honey-colored bead embroidered skirt, and a set of southern bead heads.

The flowers should be plain clothes, the two ladies of the Gu family are dressed elegantly, but they can't hide their beauty, they are all the ages of flowers, Gu Jieyu is graceful and subtle, but Gu Yanran is beautiful and bright, and the two sisters have completely different temperaments.

Linglong greeted them and sat down in front of the beauty, Gu Yanran smiled and said to Gu Jieyu: "This is the fifth sister Jin I said last time, didn't the sixth sister say that she doesn't believe that there is such a little beauty?" Do you believe it today? ”

Gu Xie Yu smiled gently, let the blue grass give Linglong a rose incense piece, and said: "Since my brother gave this garden to my brother, I have not allowed us to come over, it is rare that Jin Sanye and Jin Fifth Sister are willing to come to sit here today, and even bring our sisters to come and visit." ”

The two asked Linglong what books she reads on weekdays and what pastimes she has, and Linglong answers them one by one, neither humble nor arrogant. Gu Jieyu's eyes were sharp, and when he saw the handkerchief in Linglong's hand, he said: "The swallow on the handkerchief of Fifth Sister Jin seems to be about to fly, and you embroidered it yourself?" ”

Linglong smiled: "Idle is also idle, just embroider some small things." ”

Lancao handed the handkerchief to Gu Jieyu, and Gu Jieyu showed it to Gu Yanran: "This Jiangnan fruit is a splendid land, and the fifth sister Jin is only twelve years old, and this embroidery work is about to catch up with our embroidery master." ”

Linglong said: "Sister Gu Liu's award, when Linglong was in the old house in Jiangsu in her early years, she studied for two years, and she embroidered and played by herself, which is incomparable to the embroidery master in the capital." ”

Gu Xie Yu saw that she was young, she spoke modestly and cautiously, and she was very happy: "Our sisters are also very idle on weekdays, if the fifth sister is free, come to our house as a guest another day, every time I embroider a bird, the bird's eyes are always embroidered badly, there is no smart embroidery of the fifth sister of the gold, and it is not good to always ask the master, then the fifth sister of the gold can teach me by hand." ”

Linglong smiled and agreed, but said: "Sixth Sister Gu didn't say that I taught it, let people hear that they will laugh, it is obvious that I myself can only have some fur." ”

The three ladies were chatting happily when they heard someone say, "Tell me what is so happy." ”

raised his eyes and looked over, and saw Gu Jinzhi and Jin Zifeng walking over.

The three of them hurriedly got up and saluted, although it was a guest invited by Gu Jinzhi, but Jin Zifeng was also a foreign man, Gu Jieyu and Gu Yanran said that it was time to go back after a long time, and said goodbye to the Jin family brothers and sisters.

In the stone pavilion, only Linglong, Gu Jinzhi, and Jin Zifeng were left facing each other. She looked at the vegetable field not far away and said to Jin Zifeng: "Don't disturb my brother and Gu Shizi's Yaxing, I'll take a look over there." ”

Jin Zifeng nodded in agreement, and said that the field was no better than elsewhere, and told Xingyu and Huancui to wait for the good lady.

The three masters and servants came to the vegetable field, and Xingyu was still muttering, why did the third master seem to be a different person, so good to Miss.

Linglong chuckled: "When I was a child, my brother treated me better, but he just forgot." ”

Xingyu was puzzled, since the third master had forgotten, why was it so good?

Yes, Jin Zifeng has forgotten not only the brother-sister relationship, but even the mother-son relationship.

But he still has to put on a good brother in front of the Gu family and the Xu family, so that these two families all know that his brother loves his sister very much and regards her as the pearl of his palm, and of course her family affairs must also listen to her brother.

The sisters of the Gu family were already on the carriage back to the house, Gu Yanran said: "The sixth sister can see it, that is the person that the elder brother hangs in his heart, he thinks that others don't know, but I saw it when I went to the Jin family, otherwise, with the appearance of that Jin Zifeng's philistine, how could he look at it, and he just doesn't know when he fell in love with other people's sisters." ”

Gu Xie said: "That Jin Sanye is not as unbearable as you say, the Jin family's background is a little worse, but this Miss Jin Wu is a showman, it's a pity." ”

Gu Yanran said with a smile: "Yes, what's the use of being born well, it's not enough to be a concubine for our Gu family, that day when I came out of the Jin family's West Mansion, I asked people to inquire, her biological mother was the previous one"

Gu Jieyu's pretty face changed color after hearing this, and said: "It's all the Jin family, why is this West Mansion so unbearable, I have seen the Chen family, the eldest young grandmother of the Jin family's East Mansion, who is a character with green mountains and blue waters, and I thought that the two mansions of this thing are one family, no different." In this way, as you said, my brother must not have anything to do with them, I will go and talk to the eldest sister and let the eldest sister take care of him. (To be continued......)
