Chapter VII

At this time, Gu Nanjun was still on the way home, the surroundings were deserted, the small awning boat was tightly wrapped by the undulating, vast reeds, a few floating clouds floating in the clean sky, the sunlight gently rolled the green waves, leaking out from between the lush poles and leaves, and caressing the grass, shooting on the clear lake water, sparkling.

The sturdy stalks hang down the fluffy ears, and the linear leaves are born underneath, densely intertwined, rustling in the wind shadows. Gu Nanjun was fascinated by this, picked up a floating reed leaf from the lake, rolled it into a reed flute, and blew it in his mouth, the melodious flute sound was scattered in the reeds, and some birds were startled and chirped.

This is Gu Nanjun's favorite thing when he was young, in the Gu family, Gu Nanjun was only alone since he was a child, his mother died early, and his father was busy with the medicinal material business, until he was twelve years old, the second mother Tang Wanqiu arrived, the woman who seemed to come out of the painting, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, slender body, Wu Nong soft words in her mouth, sang countless graceful Kunqu operas, her fingers were flexible and delicate, and she was embroidered with beautiful flowers, she taught Gu Nanjun melodious reed flute songs, bringing Gu Nanjun the warmth and love like a mother. Gu Nanjun thought that when he went home this time, the only person he wanted to see was Erniang.

"Nanjun, you blow it so well." Han Leng looked at Gu Nanjun and stopped making a fuss, and sat quietly on the bamboo chair.

"Where, where, my second mother blows that is good." Gu Nanjun took back the thoughts that had drifted to his youth.

Unconsciously, the boat began to leave the reeds behind it, and the farther and farther away, the sparse fireworks slowly appeared, and the boatman in front of him leaned down and leaned down, passed through the long bridge hole, and finally arrived at the Shungeng Wharf. On the dock, the Gu family was already waiting.

Gu Wenchang Gu is a little tall, about eight feet, but his figure is thin, his face is narrow and long, the pupils under the two sword eyebrows are deep and elusive, the bridge of the nose is high, the wings of the nose are extremely narrow and delicate, and under the thick mustache are two thin lips that are neither red nor light. Dressed in a navy blue cardigan waistcoat, the delicate buckles are meticulously arranged, and the simple and elegant floral embroidery is staggered, and the intricate details are breathtaking.

The closest to Master Lin is the second aunt Tang Wanqiu beside him, although Master Gu and Tang Wanqiu have not come out over the years, and Tang Wanqiu has never been lukewarm to Master Gu, Master Gu still loves her very much, even the third aunt Yao Mei, who has a pair of children, cannot be compared with it, they all say that mothers are expensive with children, but after all, they can't resist the man's own deep affection.

The second aunt Tang Wanqiu held a parted low hair, the oblique bangs on the eyelids extended behind the ears, and a fluffy curve just rightly modified Tang Wanqiu's gentle temperament. Tang Wanqiu is in wealth, her white and tender skin has not yet shown a trace of wrinkles, her red lips are full and elastic, and her apricot eyes are looking forward to life. He was wearing a plain cheongsam, with a refreshing texture and a soft luster, a swan neck with a swan neck that was more slender, and a string of tassels of similar color to the cheongsam hung on the placket.

"Dad, Erniang, Nanjun is back." Gu Nanjun carried his and Han Leng's luggage and walked quickly towards the Gu family.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. I just won't go back this time. Master Gu moved the corners of his mouth.

"Child, come on, come to Erniang, let Erniang see what you have become." Tang Wanqiu stretched out her hands and pulled Gu Nanjun to her, "Good boy, you have grown so tall and handsome." ”

"Nanjun has been away from home for a few years, how is Erniang doing?" Gu Nanjun looked at Tang Wanqiu with concern.

"With your father here, naturally you won't wronged me." Tang Wanqiu smiled and looked at Gu Nanjun carefully.

"Yo, the eldest young master hasn't seen him for a few years, but he has such a good ability to bring such a good-looking young lady back." A sharp voice came from behind Tang Wanqiu, it was the third aunt Yao Mei.

Yao Mei was only twenty-five years old, only because her father owed the Gu family a lot of silver taels, and Master Gu remembered that the heirs in the family were thin, and he saw that he was born with a good skin, so he put him in the house to pay off the debt. Since then, Yao Mei has become a rich aunt, playing poker with some Mrs. Kuo all day long, rubbing mahjong, but also happy, in her spare time, she does not forget to play right and wrong in front of Master Gu, sowing discord, Master Gu always sees that she is upset and does not want to ignore her, and because of a pair of children, she has to be placed in the mansion well.

Yao Mei is still very young, only four years older than Gu Nanjun, combing the oblique bangs on the side of the hair, squeezing the bangs on the left side of the forehead, all the hair is tied on the back of the neck, the eyebrows are green, the two eyes that are much larger than ordinary people are charming and bright, the root of the nose is very high, the upper end of the nose bridge is narrowly raised, the tip of the nose is like a curved hook, protruding forward, although the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, but it does not bring much intimacy.

"Oh, don't get me wrong, third aunt, her name is Han Leng, and she's just Nanjun's classmate." Gu Nanjun smiled awkwardly at Yao Mei.

"Nanhuai, Nan Yu, hurry, come and meet the eldest brother." Yao Mei dragged out the two timid children behind her.

Nanhuai and Nan Yu are twin sons, the elder brother Nanhuai is white-skinned, the hair is fluffy and graceful, the two thick eyebrows loom under the sparse bangs, the nose is soft and waxy, and the fawn-like round eyes fit the baby fat cheeks to look very cute. Sister Nan Yu looks similar to her brother, but she has two neat ponytails and no broken hair on her forehead.

The two children were endearing, and they cried out crisply: "Brother is good." ”

Gu Nanjun looked like it in his heart, lowered his body and touched the heads of the two children.

"Uncle Gu is good, Erniang is good, Sanniang is good." Han Leng changed his past pampering, and greeted the Gu family gently and sensibly.

"Where is Miss Han from?" Old Master Gu asked.

"It's Shanghainese." Han sneered and looked at Master Gu.

"Miss Han came from afar, your Uncle Gu must let Nanjun accompany you to enjoy the mountains of Yucheng." When Master Gu laughed, his eyes narrowed a little, and the wrinkles on his cheeks appeared.

"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Han Leng was happy in his heart, and a smile floated on his face.

The Gu family and his party got into the two cars that had been prepared and galloped home. After driving out of the pier, there were many people along the way, the shouting of hawkers, the gossip of passers-by, the rapping of sellers, the cheers of spectators, all kinds of sounds were mixed together, and there was a noisy fight in the ears. Gu Nanjun was in a car with Master Gu and Tang Wanqiu, Han Leng was in a car with Yao Mei and a pair of twins, Tang Wanqiu greeted Gu Nanjun all the way, and Yao Mei on the other end was eagerly exploring the wealth of Han Leng's family.

"It turns out that Miss Han is from Shanghai, Sanniang often hears people say that Shanghai is a good place, the world of flowers, gold everywhere, if Sanniang can be a few years younger, she will also go to break through." Yao Mei took the silk handkerchief in her hand and scratched her head, "Look at Miss Han's beautiful and chic clothes, it is a rare thing in our small place, I don't know what Miss Han does at home?" ”

"Sanniang praised it falsely, Han Leng's skirt is quite ordinary, and Han Leng's family is just running a small boat shop." Han Leng didn't like the bewitching woman in front of him, and replied to her words a little perfunctorily.

"It turned out to be a boatman, that's amazing, I think Miss Han is different from us vulgar women from the countryside." Yao Mei smiled enchantingly, if there was a man in front of her, she would definitely hook her soul, "Let me see, Miss Han is afraid that she doesn't like our family's Nanjun, so she is willing to come over and suffer in a poor place like ours." ”

"No, Sanniang, don't talk nonsense." Han Leng looked displeased and didn't want to talk to Yao Mei anymore.

Yao Mei's eyes were sharp, and she didn't want to be bored, so she closed her mouth, thinking in her heart: What a young lady who thinks very highly of herself, if she marries Gu Nanjun, this is okay, with such a big fortune, will the master still look down on our family Nanhuai? I can't let Gu Nanjun's kid pick up such a big bargain.

The pair of twins next to him only felt that the woman brought back by his brother was pretty, and they were happy, and they all crawled on Han Leng's body and rubbed left and right, only to see Nan Yu's fleshy little hand grasping Han Leng's gauze skirt and not letting go: "Mother, Nan Yu also wants to wear such a good skirt." ”

"Yo, Nan Yu, come down, put down Miss Han's skirt quickly, don't touch it, touch the clothes, you unfavored mothers can't afford it." Yao Mei sharpened her voice.

In Han Leng's ears, Yao Mei seemed to be singing when she spoke, thinking to herself: How did Master Gu take a fancy to such a cowardly woman? It's funny to think about it, looking at the woman in front of her, although she was born with an incomparably charming face, she can't help but feel pity for doing such vulgar words and deeds. A pair of twins were born innocent and cute, and they liked it in their eyes: "Sister is not afraid that Nan Yu will break my sister's skirt, the next time my sister comes to see Nan Yu, I will bring Nan Yu a small skirt that looks as good as my sister, do you want it?" ”

"I want it, I want it, Nan Yu wants it, it's really nice that my brother brought a fairy sister." Nan Yu's smile melted into the dimples of the flesh, and it was a little greasy.

Han Leng looked at Nan Yu but remembered Lin Elegy, the young lady of the Lin family, there is also such a pair of good-looking dimples, which are very good-looking when hung on their cheeks, with ice muscles and jade bones, I feel pitiful, if I were a boy, I would probably be fascinated, she and Nanjun have known each other since childhood, thinking about it this way, she shouldn't blame Nanjun. But in a blink of an eye, I feel that I don't look worse than her Lin Elegy, there are so many boys chasing after me in college, but I just want to be good with Nanjun alone, then Nanjun doesn't even cherish me as a big beauty, hum, I Han Leng has never missed what I want to get.

In a moment, the driver had already driven the car to the door of Gu's house: "It's here, master, go home." ”

Master Gu's slightly squinted eyes gradually opened, and when he saw the door of his house, he paused slightly: "When you get home, get out of the car, Wanqiu, I'll call someone to help clean up the guest room prepared for Miss Han later, but I can't wronged Miss Han." ”

"Okay, master, Wanqiu won't be wronged by such a lovely beauty." Tang Wanqiu glanced at Gu Nanjun as she spoke.
