Chapter VIII

The door of Gujiafu is so angry, looking up, the layers of jet-black cornices are quite upward and flying, between the gray stone wall carvings, birds and beasts, lifelike, two strings of big red lanterns hang on both sides of the door beam, a walnut door gold shop is bent, and there are white low walls to protect the left and right, behind the white wall is the dense and verdant trees competing for glory.

Entering the gate of the house, there are strange vines and grasses around, all kinds of rare strange stones are dotted in the meantime, the winding verandah winds on the green plants, and there are pavilions and small buildings in the back. The elm doors and windows are filled with prismatic colours, and the lanterns inside are excellent, inlaid with stained glass with antique human figures, and there are eight horns on the upper and lower floors, each of which is hung with a very cleverly woven red tassel. In the main hall, a wrought iron chandelier is graceful and luxurious, beautifully carved wooden tables and wooden chairs are neatly arranged, and various exquisite vases can be seen everywhere.

The host and the guests sit separately, while the servants stand respectfully to the left and right. Master Gu took a sip of the tea in his hand: "Nanjun, when you come back from graduation this time, which big pharmacy do you want to go to work?" ”

"My son wants to go to the Seongdong Pharmacy to do something." Gu Nanjun was full of anticipation, his eyes emitted a scorching brilliance, and he looked at Master Gu who was sitting upright.

"The Chengdong Pharmacy is a little far away from home, you went there to do things, I don't have anything here, I'm just afraid that your second mother will think hard about you." After speaking, Master Gu looked at Tang Wanqiu distressedly, his eyes full of tenderness.

"It's just that my son has a very good time with Lin Bangyang, the eldest young master of the Lin family in Chengdong, so I want to go to Chengdong Pharmacy to do things, if Erniang misses me, I will come back to see it frequently." Gu Nanjun lowered his eyelids, and was embarrassed for a while before he said what was in his heart, but he still didn't have the courage to mention Lin Elegy after all.

"Master, you just let Nanjun go." Tang Wanqiu interjected.

"That's it, that's it, you can go if you like." Master Gu had no choice but to follow Gu Nanjun's wishes.

And immediately they dispersed, and went about their own business. Tang Wanqiu took Han Leng to the guest room prepared for him, walked through the winding verandah, turned into the deep courtyard, and opened the door of an elegant small building, during which the busy maids and long-term workers were tidying up the room and carrying the bedding and sundries, thinking that this was the guest room prepared for Han Leng.

Tang Wanqiu led Han Leng into the house, and the two sat next to the small coffee table, Tang Wanqiu was obsessed with embroidery all the year round, and fell into the root of neck and shoulder pain: "Erniang loves embroidery to pass the idle time when she is fine, but now it's good, embroidery is bad, the back of this neck is always sore, and even the right arm has a faint pain, eh." ”

Han Leng studied traditional Chinese medicine in college, and he is also proficient in Xiang Bi's disease: "Erniang, Han Leng learned how to treat this disease when he was studying, Erniang sat down, I did a massage for Erniang, so that Erniang could relax and unwind, dredge the meridians, and naturally reduce some pain." ”

"Oh? Is it? I can't see that a weak young lady like Miss Han can still cure diseases, so let Miss Han try it. Tang Wanqiu sat up straight.

I saw Han Leng pressing down on the Fengchi line with his thumb, pressing and kneading with moderate intensity, and when he turned to the Fengfu line, the kneading speed became much faster, and it was accompanied by slow movement: "Erniang, Han Leng's fingering can dredge the blood meridians on your neck, what do you think of my kneading strength?" ”

"Great, I feel very comfortable." Tang Wanqiu responded to Han Leng.

After listening to the kneading and plucking technique of changing his left hand on the left wind pool line, Han Leng heard the gurgling sound coming from Tang Wanqiu's neck, Han Leng said unconsciously: "Erniang, your neck is really stiff, it is better for you to do less embroidery work in the future, if you are bored in the house in the future, call Nanjun, accompany you to go shopping, and pass the time." ”

"Okay, Miss Han, I'll just listen to you, I'll call you in the future and go shopping with me and Nanjun." Tang Wanqiu smiled happily.

Han Leng listened as he used his entire palm to pinch his neck, and after pinching his neck, he kneaded his shoulders with his palm, and plucked left and right to loosen the knots on the back of his neck. After pushing the back of the neck, he shook Tang Wanqiu's face with both palms, wanting to adjust the joint staggered seams between his neck, and after a short time, he slowly put his face down, and then did the method of dotting acupoints on various related acupuncture points such as Fengchi acupoint, temple temple, shoulder well acupoint, Tianzong acupoint, Baihui acupoint, Touwei acupoint, Yintang acupoint, etc., and finally shook Tang Wanqiu's sore right arm with his hand. Supplemented by a gentle pat with the palm of the hand until the end of the massage.

"Erniang, I don't think it's very convenient today, if Erniang is free tomorrow, she will come to Hanleng's house, and I will help you do an acupuncture, and doing acupuncture can also greatly relieve your symptoms." Han Leng smiled and wanted to try his best to please the favored second aunt in front of him.

"Miss Han, sit down with me." Tang Wanqiu felt that her body was in good shape, so she held Han Leng's white and tender hands in her hands, and looked at Han Leng lovingly, "Miss Han, tell me quickly, are you and our family Nanjun a couple?" I see that the two of you are really a good match, poor our family Nanjun, he has no mother since he was a child, in this Gu Mansion, he is only close to me alone, I know, that child will never easily bring a girl home. ”

Han Leng saw the woman in front of him, with red lips and teeth, mantis eyebrows, rare and elegant temperament, and was really gentle and gentle, and remembered that Nanjun was indeed very close to and dependent on this Erniang, so he said what he had to say, and started to cry: "Does Erniang really think that I am as good as Nanjun?" In fact, I like Nanjun very much in my heart, but Nanjun has never been pleased with me, and now I think his heart is afraid that he has already been hooked by Lin Elegy, the eldest lady of the Lin family, even if Han Leng digs his heart to Nanjun, Nanjun will not accept it, Han Leng really has no way, so he followed Nanjun with a cheeky face, I am afraid that Nanjun will drive me back to my home in Shanghai in a few days. ”

Tang Wanqiu felt a little sorry for Han Leng, became emotional, and comforted Han Leng and said: "Miss Han, don't cry, Erniang felt that you fell in love with me when I saw you for the first time, I saw that Miss Han liked it in my heart, I don't care what Miss Lin or Miss Wu does, I don't even look down on you, I only recognize you Miss Han as my Gu family's daughter-in-law, you can rest assured, Erniang will definitely help you get the heart of our family Nanjun." You can rest assured to stay and get along with our family Nanjun. I still don't believe it, with such a beautiful woman as you by my side, Nanjun will never forget the milky girl of the Lin family. ”

"Then Han Leng is here, thank Erniang for taking care of her. Erniang doesn't have to be so angry, just call me Han Leng in the future. Han Leng heard that Tang Wanqiu, who looked weak, was actually a little out of shape because of his grievances, and felt warm in his heart, and he became a little closer to Tang Wanqiu.

"Okay, okay, Erniang will call you Han Leng in the future, Han Leng, look, you think there is something missing in this house, so I said to Erniang, don't feel embarrassed, Erniang will add it for you, and you must be comfortable in the Gu family." Tang Wanqiu looked around, and then her eyes fell on Han Leng, wanting to see Han Leng's reaction at this time.

"No need, Erniang, Han Leng is not a squeamish lady, these objects in the house are enough for me to live comfortably." Han Leng seems to be an excellent actor, just by changing the scene, he can hide all the pampering energy all over his body.

Tang Wanqiu saw that Han Leng did not have Miss Fugui's squeamishness, and she was very satisfied in her heart: "That's good, Erniang will leave first, you pack the luggage you brought first, and Erniang will come to ask you to eat together later." ”

"Okay, Erniang, you can go and do your own work, Han Leng can take care of everything." Han Leng smiled and smiled, and he was sure that he would please Tang Wanqiu.

After Tang Wanqiu left, Han Leng put the suitcase on the ground, and then opened it, in addition to a few sets of clothes that needed to be changed, some necessary gold and silver softness, there was also a set of acupuncture needles, this set of acupuncture needles was the prize that Han Leng won in the university debate, it was in that debate that Han Leng met Gu Nanjun, and from then on, the thin and extraordinary young man was deeply imprinted in her heart, and everything seemed to have not passed for a long time. She still remembers the image of the young man calmly getting up from his seat and saying that Western medicine is better than Chinese medicine. Thinking back to this, Han Leng smiled dumbly and forgot all about today's sourness.

"Miss Han, what are you laughing at there?" The busy maid stepped forward to ask, and she also had a guess and curiosity in her heart.

"Nothing, nothing, just a funny thing that happened in the past." Han Leng blushed, and could only hide the past unwisely.

"It's good that Miss is happy, the slave has cleaned up Miss Han's house, Miss Han, you see, are you still satisfied?" The maid asked again.

"Satisfied, satisfied, you've been busy for a long time, go and rest and rest." Han Leng smiled.

"And the maidservant withdrew." The maid asked Han Leng for instructions.

"Okay." After Han Leng sent the maid away, he felt a lot more comfortable and began to wander around the house.

The interior of the hut is furnished very simple and comfortable, everything has been cleaned up, the blue and white stone slabs on the ground are very smooth, the wood-colored beds, cabinets, shelves and everything are also available, the mats are clean and elegant, the maid also specially prepared a face wash for Han Leng, and a few soft petals are floating in the small copper basin. A carved wooden window is gently propped up by a forked pole, and the sunlight is constantly tempting to enter, and a pot of excellent sunflowers catches the eye, and the delicate petals are clustered with golden stamens, lying on the tiny light-colored leaves.

Outside the hut, the summer heat was permeating, and the sky in Yucheng was clear and bright, close to the ground, and the towering trees pointed to the sky, and the branches and leaves of the trees were swaying in the wind.
