Chapter 17: Aunt Liu's Heart Knot

The design of the back garden of the Gao family is very elegant, a small river flows through the garden, divides the back garden into two naturally, the river is planted with green willows, there are also many arch bridges on the river, each pavilion is built according to the river, flowers and trees are planted along the trend, so the whole garden has a natural charm in the artificial.

Gao Jinxiu liked this garden very much, and every morning, he would go to the bushes in the garden to chant. This was a habit that he couldn't shake before he left home. Now that he is back, he follows his old habit and goes to this Yunfang Pavilion every day to read a book. The bushes by the river have been occupied by Jinmin, and there is no martial arts arena at home, so if he wants to practice martial arts secretly, he can only hide in the bushes. Yunfang Pavilion is pure, and there is a piece of wood hibiscus on its side that blooms just right, Jin Xiu covets the scenery here, so he comes over day by day.

On this day, the weather was fine and cloudless, so Jin Xiu took advantage of the cool morning to sit in the Yunfang Pavilion and read a book. I was looking at it intently, and suddenly I heard the sound of flowers and trees outside, and I couldn't help but be surprised. He explained to the people around him that he was never allowed to disturb when he was reading, what kind of person is this, so ignorant of the rules? A wave of anger welled up in his heart, and he walked out and asked, "Who is there?" But I saw a girl in a white plain gauze skirt turning her head from behind the flower tree, and when she saw him, her face was immediately full of fear, and she knelt on the ground tremblingly: "The slave is the red sleeve in Aunt Liu's room, and she was ordered to pick flowers." I don't know that the eldest young master is here, and he collided with the eldest young master, the slave and maid should be damned! The crisp and weak voice of the twenty-eight girl entered the eardrums, and Jin Xiu only felt that his heart was soft. It turned out to be the girl in the aunt's room, and she must have come over unintentionally. Mother has always been kind, this girl is not a big mistake, forget it. Jin Xiu waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, you can go down." I read here every day, and no one can disturb me. Red Sleeves raised his head, glanced at Jin Xiu boldly, and said, "Thank you, young master!" Slave and maid, let's go! As he spoke, he got up with a large bouquet of flowers and walked away. Jin Xiu looked at her back, and it looked quite pleasing to the eye in the flowers and plants. Suddenly I remembered that she seemed to say that her name was Redsleeves. Red sleeves add fragrance to night reading? Aunt Liu's name is also quite chic. Thinking of the fragrance of the red sleeves, he couldn't help but think of Kang's again. In the past few days, he and Kang's have been in love every night, and Kang's warmth and thoughtfulness have made him overjoyed. Although they had been married for two years before, because they were afraid that people would ridicule him for their love for their children, and his father-in-law was very close to his homework, he and Kang were even more restrained, and they missed many good days. Tonight, why don't you let Kang go to the study to read with him? I wonder if my father will blame himself for being ridiculous? Thinking of his father, Jin Xiumeng realized that he seemed to have thought too far. So I sorted out my thoughts, went back to the pavilion, and concentrated on reading.

Since that day, I met Red Sleeves outside Yunfang Pavilion, and Jin Xiu can see her every day when he goes to the back garden. Either she's just entered the back garden, or she's picked the flowers. Every time she saw Jin Xiu, she bowed her head and said hello, and Jin Xiu didn't care when she saw her like this every day. Red Sleeves saw Jin Xiu every day, and when he saw that he was gentle and polite to himself, he couldn't help but be happy. Or, I should fight hard, looking at the appearance of the eldest young master, it seems that he doesn't hate himself. Does not hating mean liking? Red Sleeves remembered Aunt Liu's words, and secretly made a decision that her fate should be in her own hands!

So she was more attentive to dressing herself carefully, every time she went to pick flowers and met Jin Xiu, she had to repeatedly consider his demeanor and tone, which was an unconscious smile from him, and she secretly had to think about it repeatedly for a long time. Sometimes I feel that Jin Xiu seems to be interested in myself, and sometimes I seem to feel that the eldest young master is so gentle and polite to everyone. A girl's heart seems to be completely sunk in. Of course, she didn't feel any different in her own situation, Qingyun looked at it with cold eyes, but she was secretly frightened.

On this day, seeing the red-sleeved and dressed up flowers, Qingyun couldn't help but say to Aunt Liu: "Auntie, I think this girl has a big heart." I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to leave this to her, right? If she really fell into the eyes of the eldest young master, maybe she might not listen to you. Aunt Liu sneered and said, "I just want her to disgust my wife." As for whether or not to listen to the future in the future, I didn't think that far ahead. Now she's plunged into it herself, isn't that just right, and it saves me the trouble! Qingyun had the heart to say something more, but seeing Aunt Liu's face full of pride, she knew that it would not be helpful to say more at this time. I had to bring up another topic, talking about the third lady Shenfang. mentioned Shen Fang, and sure enough, Aunt Liu came to the spirit again.

"I look at the third lady's behavior, although she looks weak on the outside, she is actually very tough in her bones!" Qingyun has been in contact with Shen Fang a lot recently, and her impression of the third lady's weakness has changed greatly. Aunt Liu heard her praise for Shen Fang, and she was also happy: "Who said it wasn't? She is weak and boneless, which is a problem in her mother's womb. After taking so many bitter medicines over the years, I have made my temperament tougher than others. It's just that I've been taking care of my lord and Shen Rong all these years, but I've ignored her. It made the mother and daughter separated. I can't say it, while she is still young now, and she has not been close to her wife recently, I want to renew the love between this mother and daughter with her. Why is it that the flesh and blood I have worked so hard to give birth to are not close to me, and I am intimate with others? Speaking of which, Aunt Liu still cares a lot.

It naturally doesn't matter if you didn't take Shen Fang to heart before. Now that she can't get close to Shen Rong, and she has discovered the benefits of her youngest daughter, she naturally can't bear Shen Fang and Hu Shibi to be intimate with her. It's just that she naturally ignored Hu's dedication to Shen Fang for so many years. In her mind, she is Shen Fang's biological mother, no matter what, she should be able to get close to her soon, and then get close. It's just that after going to Shen Fang these few times, after the superficial enthusiasm, she can still feel Shen Fang's alienation and vigilance towards her. Yes, on alert! She couldn't figure out why Shen Fang was wary of herself!

In fact, this vigilance can be said to come naturally. Shen Fang used to trust Hu wholeheartedly, but suddenly accidentally overheard the conversation between Yang's mother and Hu. After her trust in the Hu family collapsed, it was impossible for her to accept Aunt Liu's sudden approach with complete peace of mind. No matter what, she has been taught by Hu's side for more than ten years, and with so many years of hearing and seeing, it is impossible for her to have a lot of good feelings towards Aunt Liu all at once. It's just that in the current situation, Aunt Liu's proximity and friendship still gave rise to a little desire for family affection and maternal love in her heart. Therefore, while carefully accepting Aunt Liu's care and care, she was trembling and vigilant. She feared being abandoned and hurt again. Shen Fang's psychology, Aunt Liu is completely unaware, and of course she can't imagine it. So, she blamed Shen Fang's estrangement from her on Hu and Jinyu. "I don't know what kind of soup they poured into her before, so they enveloped her like this. Hmph, no matter what, the daughter I gave birth to, no matter what, must have the same heart with me! When she said this, Aunt Liu instructed Qinglian to let her stew the bird's nest that the master had given her before and send it to the third lady. She didn't believe it, she spent the capital to smash it, and then behaved well in front of the child, the child would not be tempted at all?
