Chapter 21: Spring Outing (2)

Ask for collections, ask for recommendations

------------------------

A few people were making a fuss, and they heard the call of a girl, and the dog whimpered when he heard the barking of "rhubarb", and disappeared. After a while, Rhubarb led the way and brought a few people. An old man, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl holding the old man's right arm, followed by a few family girls. The old man was very rich, with white skin, a round face, a grinning expression, a gray goat's beard, and a silk dress, and he knew that his family was quite rich at first sight.

That little girl, Tian Fan was stunned when he saw her, and his first feeling was not beautiful, although the little girl was picturesque, and she was indeed very beautiful. Tian Fan's first impression of her was white! That's right, it's white! White scary! The skin is carved like white marble, as white as milk! Mi Zhen and Hui'er's complexions are also very fair, but compared to her, they are obviously inferior! As the saying goes, the skin is white, not to mention that she is beautiful in her own right? On the contrary, her hair was black and shiny, like a black pearl! He had always thought that milky white skin and night-like hair could not coexist in the same person, and now he realized that he was wrong! Tian Fan saw that this girl's beauty was no less than Mi Zhen!

When the old man saw Tian Fan, he smiled, bowed slightly, and said, "A few young ladies are good, old and polite!" ”

Tian Fan and several people hurriedly returned the salute, Tian Fan said: "Hello old man, Tian Fan is polite!" ”

The old man sighed lightly and asked, "But is it Tian Boguang?" Tian Fan replied: "It's the kid!" ”

The old man laughed and said, "When I went out today, I heard the magpie calling, and I expected that there must be a happy event, but I didn't want to meet Tian Gongzi!" Haha, the old man is polite! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Don't dare to be!" What is the name of the old man? ”

The old man replied, "Old decay! Peixian people ......" said, pointed to the little girl next to him, and said, "This is a little girl!" Young lady, hurry up and give Tian Gongzi a gift! ”

When Nagan Young Niang heard this, she hurriedly saluted Tian Fan, saying, "I've seen Tian Gongzi!" Tian Fan didn't dare to call it right, so he had to introduce a few people around him to each other, and the two parties greeted each other.

Gan Lin asked: "Tian Gongzi, when you came to Geyi Mountain today, didn't you come to go out to play?" ”

Tian Fan said: "Exactly, the weather is fine today, Fan brought a few family members here for a spring outing!" Hehe, I accidentally entered Tian Laozheng's peach orchard, and forgive my sins! ”

Gan Lin smiled: "It's okay! It's just a few peach trees, this peach orchard is just the old man took it over from someone else last year, the old man didn't want to point to a few peaches to make a fortune, just to enjoy the peach blossoms in the spring! Tian Gongzi, my manor is in the north of the mountain, do you have time to sit down? How about a glass of water and wine? ”

Tian Fan saw that the weather was a little hot, nodded and said, "So, thank you, old man, for bothering me!" ”

When Gan Lin heard this, he was very happy, and waved his hand again and again and said, "You're welcome, go, come with the old man!" Tian Fan asked Tang Yi to inform a few servants, and Gan Lin left a family member to wait for Tang Yi, and then rushed to his manor with a few people.

Along the way, Tian Fan and Gan Lin talked and got to know each other better. Ganlin's family has lived in Pei County for generations, the family is not a wealthy family, but the size is also a rich family, this manor and Taoyuan are all given by an old friend of Ganlin's family. His old friend died of illness last year, his wife died early, his parents had long since died, and he left only a five-year-old son, who entrusted the family business and son to Gan Lin before he died. Gan Lin did not accept his family property, he promised to help manage the family business, and for the son of this old friend, he was obliged to raise him in the family of Pei County, and adopted him as a righteous son, and was ready to return the family property to him when he became an adult. And the child's family property, that is, this manor and peach orchard, Gan Lin appointed the housekeeper of the old friend's family to manage it, but he would take a time out every year to take a look. He doesn't want to be able to make his friend's family business bigger, he just wants to be able to keep it, the reason is that he really doesn't have that ability, otherwise his family business would have become big a long time ago. …,

This story made Tian Fan have a clearer understanding of Gan Lin's personality, and also made him admire this rich old man. And Gan Youniang is his only flesh and blood, Ganlin, who is old and has a daughter, although he dotes on her, he has never doted on her. He has a good collection of books at home, and Gan Youniang has received a good education since she was a child, and she is also a talented girl. Listening to Gan Lin proudly say that Gan Youniang had completed the Five Classics at the age of thirteen and had quite an insight, Tian Fan couldn't help but look back at this beautiful little girl with white eyes.

The two of them were talking in front of them, and Gan Youniang and Mi Zhen were also talking in the back, they were all young girls, and they soon became warm. Gan Youniang asked Hui'er, "Sister Hui'er, how did you surrender to Rhubarb?" This dog has a bad temper, although he has never bitten anyone, but except for a few people in my family, no one can come close! There are even many families who have been here for months and still can't get close to it! Tian Fan was also very interested in this question, so he also listened attentively.

Hui'er looked up at Tian Fan's back and chuckled: "Hehe, it's nothing, rhubarb is spiritual, and it can tell whose heart is good." A kind-hearted person like me, it naturally allows me to approach, but some people ......" She tried hard to open her mouth to Tian Fan and did not speak again. Several girls snickered at her statement and her movements. Tian Fan didn't believe Hui'er's statement, but she didn't want to say it, and she couldn't help it, and after listening to this explanation, he shrugged helplessly.

It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the manor located in the back mountain, where the manor was full of green trees and flowers, and all kinds of flowers were competing to bloom. Inside the simple fence, there are several thatched huts, the inside of the fence is planted with dense roses, a simple pavilion in the courtyard, a few wisteria are planted, a few green bamboos are planted on the side of the grass house, a stream flows in front of the manor, and a few willow trees are carried next to the stream.

Tian Fan saw it and nodded secretly, this is indeed a good place! In front of the door is a large orchard, summer is ten, prepare a pot of light wine, a few books, sit quietly in the small pavilion, read while drinking, listen to the birds and cicadas, it is indeed a great enjoyment! It's just that if the wisteria is replaced with grapes, maybe it will be better, and when you are tired of reading, you can look up and see the fruitful grapes on the vines on the shelf, stand up, and you can ...... Grape, Grape ......

When they approached the manor, they only heard the barking of dogs one after another, Tian Fan looked at it, good guys, the dogs that came out of the manor, let alone twenty! After the rhubarb barked, all the dogs stopped barking and looked at the people who entered the park. As soon as Gan Youniang pounced, they obediently dispersed.

Gan Lin said: "Hehe, Tian Gongzi, there are few people here, and there are few people in the manor, so you don't have to be afraid of raising a few more dogs to guard the door!" ”

Tian Fan smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay like this, with a dog as a companion, the family will not be lonely!" ”

Several people walked into the living room, Gan Lin arched his hand to Tian Fan and said: "Tian Gongzi ......" Tian Fan waved his hand and said: "Uncle, you call me Boguang, hehe, you call me Gongzi, I feel awkward!" Gan Lin stroked his goatee and said, "Okay, Boguang! In that case, don't call me uncle, if you don't dislike it, call me uncle! Tian Fan hurriedly agreed.

"Boguang, several, sit down, young lady, serve wine!" Gan Youniang agreed and went to prepare the wine, and the two girls of Fangcao Guizhi also accompanied her to help. Tian Fan and Gan Lin were waiting for the wine, and while talking, Gan Lin said: "Boguang, burning knives is too expensive, and the taste is too strong, I can't get used to it, hehe, today, let's drink some of my home-brewed wine!" Tian Fan nodded and smiled: "Hehe, Uncle Gan, I'm not used to burning knives!" Drink some light wine, just right! ”

While the two were talking, the three girls served wine, Tian Fan nodded to Gan Youniang who served him wine, and said thank you softly, and Gan Youniang smiled in return. Gan Lin said: "Boguang, please!" Tian Fan hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "Uncle, please!" The two of them had a full drink. Mi Zhen smiled and said to Tian Fan and Gan Lin: "Uncle Gan, Brother Tian Fan, you drink slowly, I will let the young lady and sister take you around this yard!" ”…,

Gan Lin smiled and said, "The girl is at her own convenience, young lady, accompany a few girls well!" Gan Youniang agreed, and took a few girls to the door.

Tian Fan said with a smile: "Uncle, it seems that we have to add our own wine!" ”

Gan Lin was stunned for a moment, then patted his head in annoyance and said, "Look at my memory, hehe!" So saying, he stood up, and after a while, he called for a little servant to add wine.

The little guy was fifteen or sixteen years old, squinting his eyes, and looking listless, which made people very uncomfortable to look at.

Gan Lin couldn't help but be angry when he looked at him, and shouted: "Evil animal! Why don't you want to add some wine? ”

The little guy didn't care about Gan Lin's angry drinking, slowly helped to add wine, and then sat in the hall silently. Tian Fan was a little puzzled, how could there be such a subordinate? That's too big, isn't it?

Seeing that Tian Fan was puzzled, Gan Lin pointed to the little guy and said, "Hehe, Boguang, you don't know something!" This kid's name is Ni Qiu, when there was a locust plague last year, he fainted from hunger at my door, I saw him when I went out, found him alive, and rescued him! Hehe, this kid is smart and lively, but he is a little stubborn! I don't know what's wrong with the first two days, I'm angry, and I've seen me like this for the past two days! ”

After that, he shook his head with a wry smile, pointed at Ni Qiu and complained: "Boguang, you look at him like this, those who don't know still think that he is the master and I am the servant!" It can be seen that Gan Lin loves and hates Ni Qiu, but he is helpless. Tian Fan smiled, he said: "Uncle Gan, people who have the ability often have a temper, hehe, when you accept his advantages, you have to accept his shortcomings!" ”

Ni Qiu heard Tian Fan say this, raised his eyes, looked at him seriously for the first time, then rolled his eyelids, and returned to that state of immortality.

Gan Lin thought about it, nodded slightly, and said, "Hehe, not bad!" Bo Guang has a point! There are two capable families in my house, one of them, hehe, he raised all the livestock in my house, a few cows, two horses, and more than 20 dogs, he did serve these livestock very well, but he was not enthusiastic about people, and he got along with other family members very generally, even to me and the young lady, it was also indifferent, and not respectful. There is also this Ni Qiu, his ability lies in the number of techniques, and he can fully understand my family's accounts at a glance, hehe, as for his temper, you have also seen it! ”
