Chapter 282: Birthday Banquet III
Yuan only snorted coldly in his heart, but his face was not at all, and he talked to other ladies for entertainment. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Some of the people present understood the sarcasm, but most of them didn't feel anything, they talked and laughed freely, and they didn't receive a trace of swords and swords in the flower hall at all.
Miss Tan Xue is in the second room, she is 18 years old this year, she has already married, and she is married to a family of children from a poor family. Miss Tan has a ruddy complexion, her figure is also a little round and rich, and her clothes are also fashionable styles, rich and luxurious, but noble and elegant.
Tan Xue remembered that the fifth brother asked her to do something, but this matter was at the right time, so she stepped forward to look at Gu Yu, and said to Tan's mother with a smile after bowing, "Grandmother, I'm afraid that my sisters are also bored in the flower hall, why don't you take your granddaughters to take the sisters to the garden?" Ask your grandmother to show me. ”
Mother Tan smiled and took Tan Xue's hand, and said in an affectionate tone, "It's hard for you to think about it, their sisters and our elders are in the same place, they are really a little more restrained, they should take everyone to the garden to be loose and loose, you are also happy, here is your mother and your eldest uncle!"
Just bring a few more maids and mothers-in-law, guide you back and forth, and take care of errands, don't neglect your sisters. ”
Mother Tan turned her head to Gu Yu again and said, "You are a proper child, your eldest sister must be busy alone, if you help take care of it, I will be relieved." ”
During the conversation, he was very fond of and doted on Gu Yu, and he showed his granddaughter's ability everywhere.
Tan Shi looked at everyone, his chin was slightly raised, and he was very proud.
The eldest lady Yuan pouted disapprovingly.
Tan Xue respectfully accepted the order, and took the remaining four sisters of the Tan Mansion, Gu Yu and other five young ladies of the Gu Mansion, the sisters of the rest of the clan, and the young ladies of the Hakka family, and walked out of the flower hall of Tan's mother's main courtyard together, led by the servants, and then followed the mother-in-law to the backyard garden.
The guide is in the Tan mother's house, and she is very kind to people, not only introducing the courtyards along the road, but also accurately saying the origin and year of cherishing trees and bonsai. The explanation and conversation are very funny, and the ladies are much more relaxed when they leave the main hall of Tan's mother, watching the scenery along the way at will, listening to the mother-in-law's explanation, occasionally nodding or chatting with other familiar young ladies. All of them are gone in the flower hall.
Tan Xue took the lead, but she was not too showy, Gu Yu was good at dancing with long sleeves and exquisite in all directions, and talked and socialized with several young ladies from powerful families.
Tan Mansion is Kangqian 19 years when the emperor rewarded the Tan family, four generations of children and grandchildren live in it, and the usual family mansion is different, the garden and lake in it are all there, there are many bizarre strange stones, the courtyard is full of flowers, there are lakes and stones around, the wooden bridge on the left is flowing water, the lotus on the water is dotted, scattered, but they are already residual lotus, there is a special feeling. The whole is well organized and well-arranged.
Gu Jin fell behind everyone and followed suit, and her attention was also on the way she came, and the whole person had no sense of existence, and it was difficult to attract her attention. The Gu sisters ignored her mood and talked and compared with other ladies.
Gu Jin listened to their hairpin ring jewelry, clothes, and food all the way, and chatted about some books and books with some talents, but there were more young talents, young scholars, new imperial examination people, and princes and grandsons in Beijing.
"There are a lot of talented people at today's birthday banquet! My idol Xie Yuangong Dong Xuan is here. Guozijian has three carriages, so stylish, luxurious lineup, all of them are young talents and beautiful sons. When I came, I happened to meet Dong Gongzi at the door! Dong Gongzi is wearing an ink-colored dress and a felt scarf on his head, with a square chin, clear eyes, sword eyebrows flying obliquely, and his whole face looks very handsome and magnificent, if only he could see him again. This is the young lady of Hu Shilang's family, and she sighed with emotion, causing everyone to cover their mouths and chuckle.
"Oh, how can you be sure that it is Dong Gongzi?" A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Gu Qi's mouth, and the smile flashed, so fast that only Gu Jin caught it, mixed with Gu Qi's delicate and lovely face, making her look like a person living with a hypocritical mask.
Gu Jin has no feelings for this half-sister, and it is impossible to cultivate any feelings, it would be good if Gu Qi could give her less stumbling blocks. But if it comes to the point of incompatibility between fire and water, it doesn't count, this sister is a habitual person who lives with a mask, and she does things secretly, but she also maintains a trace of her cultivation as a beautiful lady on her face. In this way, Gu Jin will feel that life can go on. Otherwise, I would have planned to go back to the countryside.
"How could I mistake Dong Gongzi, I bought the portrait of Dong Gongzi at a high price, and I see you every day, hehe." Miss Hu imitated an infatuated star-chaser ten out of ten.
When everyone saw her holding her hands again, they couldn't help but hide their faces and chuckle.
Miss Hu laughed with everyone and muttered, "It's a good one, I should have seen it a long time ago." ”
"This is still an infatuated woman, go back and let the matchmaker go to Dong's house for you to propose marriage, hehehehe."
This is a bit too much, but this Miss Hu is not annoyed, and nodded again and again, "You have a good idea, and when you go back, ask your mother to send a matchmaker to ask." ”
Everyone said again, "Good girl, this is hateful marriage!" ”
While everyone was talking and laughing, they were led into the garden in the backyard, and since then, the ladies of the boudoir have begun to gather together in groups of three or five, talking and laughing and playing.
Everyone went to a water raft in twos and threes, it turned out that this water pavilion was built on the pool, there are windows on all sides, there are curved corridors on the left and right to pass, it is also across the water to connect the shore, and there are zigzag bamboo bridges behind it.
When I entered the pavilion for a while, I saw two bamboo cases outside the railing, one with various colors of melons and fruits, snacks and other snacks, and one with a tea whisk and tea bowl and various tea sets. There were already two or three girls fanning the stove next to make tea.
As soon as I entered the pavilion, a young lady said with a smile, "This place is good, the water is good, the pavilion is good, the scenery is good, the tea is good, the fruit is good, and the mind is good." This is where everyone should be enjoying the scenery. ”
Then someone responded, "This ingenuity, it's hard to think about what you thought when you built it, it's really elegant." ”
"Even this bridge is actually made of bamboo poles, laid, natural and smart, back to the basics, true temperament." The Miss Hu just now also praised her, and she obviously liked it very much.
Everyone laughed for a while, and then dispersed. Some enjoy the flowers, some watch the scenery, and some order people to take an embroidered pier and sit against the railing, holding a fishing rod to fish. Some fold a branch of flowers and trees to enjoy. Some leaned over the window sill and threw snacks to the water, attracting fish to float up and grab food.
In the backyard of the Marquis Mansion of Xining in autumn, there are many flowers, competing for beauty, and they are not exhaustive.
