CHAPTER XVIII
One day I was holding a pot of freshly picked peach blossom dew to give to my mother, only to see Erniang was holding the clothes to paint to my mother, the two of them were talking and laughing, I came forward to see, only to see a portrait of a girl, the girl stood by the lakeside, low eyebrows teasing fish, red lips slightly raised, very moving between smiles.
I laughed and said, "Who's that drawing on this?" It's not my future brother-in-law, Erniang, you're too anxious! ”
Erniang nodded my head with a smile, and said angrily, "You Erniang is such a person who can't sit still!" When your brother grows up, how many good girls can't be found, but what a hurry! ”
I asked, "And who's the girl in this picture?" ”
The mother smiled and said, "It's the young grandmother who is about to pass through the door in the Yu Mansion, and the father-in-law sent someone to send a post early this morning, and the auspicious day is booked, just on the sixth day of the next month." Your second mother knew that her heart was very tight, and she didn't know how to get the girl's portrait, saying that her appearance was extremely standard, and she didn't have to pull me to see it together. Tell me, it's not a daughter-in-law from your son's house, what is there to worry about, as long as the two children are in love, how can appearance or something be so important! ”
I was stunned and asked blankly, "Yu ...... Prefecture? Which is in the house? ”
Erniang said, "You kid! In this Kyoto, there is a good friend of our family, and there is a second family by the side of Lafayette, and there is a second one! ”
"Yu Yi!"
I was very shocked in my heart, I had never heard of a girl with my eyes closed, and I had never heard the news that he was going to get married, how could I suddenly send all the posts!
"Where....... Which girl? How come I have never heard of it? ”
Erniang said, "I heard that it is a role in the drama team, and when Young Master Yu accompanied his father-in-law to listen to the play, he fell in love with people at a glance, and his father seemed to be unhappy at first, and Young Master Yu spent an unknown amount of time before his father let his father relax." At first, he said that he was only an aunt, but Young Master Yu was afraid that he would bend his sweetheart, so he had to make a fuss. I heard that he was imprisoned by his father for a whole month because of this, but the young master Yu just didn't bow his head when he held his neck, and his father saw that he was distressed to find death and life, so he had to agree. ”
My mother nodded, looked at me with her eyes, and said with a smile, "It's a strong personality again, how can we bump into the tough ones in this world!" ”
I knew that my mother was taking the opportunity to talk about me, so I just didn't open my mouth to look at the beauty painting, Erniang smiled and said, "Madam, we have always been good friends with Yu Fu, this time Young Master Yu marries a wife is an extremely important thing, I want to send a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants over, you see if this gift is appropriate, if it is light, what else to add?" ”
The mother lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and said with a smile, "Although this gift is not light, it is okay to add more, isn't it good to keep some ejiao in the house!" Also add it, and send a pair of jade bowls and hairpins. Once you've got all these things ready, it's up to you to decide the rest! ”
Erniang nodded and said, "Understood!" ”
I took the painting in my hand and said to Erniang, "Erniang, you have also seen this painting, it is useless to think about it, why don't you give it to me!" ”
The mother said, "What do you want it to do?" ”
"Yu Yi and I have known each other for many years, he is getting married, I want to give him and his sweetheart, but I can't make up my mind at this moment, I will take this portrait, take a few more looks, and see what this girl wears to bring out her beauty."
Erniang smiled and said, "Look at the eldest lady of our family, this style is a bit of a follow-up to the master." ”
The mother nodded and said, "It's up to you, but there is one thing, you can't build it yourself, draw the mold and send it to Yuxiu Pavilion, if you are disobedient and your father knows, beware of asking you to kneel in the ancestral hall." ”
I bowed my head and responded, and Erniang said for me, "If you want me to say that our eldest lady should have left the teacher a long time ago, but the old man just didn't nod, the palms set in the Yuxiu Pavilion were not half of the eldest lady, why couldn't she be a teacher!" ”
My mother glanced at Erniang, took my hand and said with a smile: "The master has his own intentions in doing this, and it is useless for you to be unfair." According to me, it's okay not to be a teacher, but to enter the Yuxiu Pavilion, although it is a little more glorious, but the hard work of the people before and after! I'd rather not have that brilliance, she is exhausted and exhausted, and it's good to stay comfortably in the boudoir like this! ”
Erniang nodded and said that the mother was thoughtful, the two talked for a while, and then there was a small servant to urge Erniang, saying that Yuxiu Pavilion came to the palace business, Erniang did not dare to delay and leave in a hurry, I saw that my mother was tired, so I asked Cai Su to serve my mother to rest, and my mother specially told me to practice the piano well before going to bed, don't make the fox angry, I responded one by one, she was relieved to sleep.
I took the painting back to the Qin Pavilion, asked Cai Qing to bring me a pen and paper, looked at the beauty picture and was stunned, I didn't know what kind of accessories to create and send it to her, I was looking at the painting, only to smell a light fragrance around me, and before I could speak, the person asked me.
"What do you see?"
I held my face and still looked at the painting, and said without looking back, "Yu Yi, that kid is going to get married, this is the daughter-in-law he is going to marry into the door, I was thinking about what gift to give, when will it be, fox, you can also help me see, what jewelry does this girl wear, I really want to pattern." ”
The fox said, "I'm not a woman, how can I know these things." ”
I sighed, I really shouldn't count on him, the more I look at the girl in the picture, the more peugeot she looks, and I can't help but boast to the fox, "You said that this is really good, this girl is both good-looking and durable, and when she marries home, she always looks at it in front of her eyes, and she doesn't feel annoyed." ”
The fox walked to the side and sat down, picked a grape and threw it into his mouth, and said indifferently, "This bride's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to yours." ”
"Really?"
I took a closer look at the two similarities, and when I thought that I had any similarities with such a beauty, I couldn't help but feel happy, and ran to the fox and asked him, "Then you see, am I more handsome, or the bride is more beautiful?" ”
In my expectant gaze, the fox calmly ate the grapes, and saw that the grapes on that plate were mostly bald, only to see the fox sigh slowly and said, "Zhen'er, people know that they can be happy." ”
“...........................”
..............................................................................
"Miss, Miss, Miss!"
Today's rare wind, blowing on the body is very comfortable, I found a big stone to lie on it to rest, suddenly heard not far away a stack of green sound running.
Cai Qing ran up to me and said, "Miss, Miss Meng is here, Madame asked you to hurry over." ”
I answered and hurriedly went with her, I don't know what Meng Le said, I coaxed my mother to smile, praised her for being sensible and capable, and asked me to accompany her to go out with her, I was surprised and happy and agreed.
After going out, I asked Meng Le what he told his mother, coaxed my mother to let me out of the house, Meng Le shook the fan and pretended to be mysterious, no matter how I asked, Meng Le said that there is a new chef from the Western Regions in Tianxiang Building, and the grilled mutton skewers are a must in Beijing, I don't leave the house for a long time because I feel that it is not fresh, so I took her and ran to Tianxiang Building.
After eating and drinking, I asked the little guy to pack a copy to take away, Meng Le said, "This mutton skewer is freshly grilled and delicious, we will have to have fun in a while, this time it will be packed, and it will lose its taste after returning home, it is better to wait for us to go back and pack it again, carrying this heavy thing, it is not convenient to go anywhere." ”
I smiled and said, "My mother has been hurting her mouth recently, such a fishy thing is absolutely unacceptable, and my father is not in the house, and Erniang does not eat mutton. ”
Meng Le nodded thoughtfully and asked, "I'm really curious, who can make you fall in love like this?" ”
I smiled, and said, "What's the hurry, you'll know in a while." ”
We entered the Qingzhu Courtyard together, I saw that Zhang's mother was busy and didn't call her, and took Meng Le upstairs directly to find Ah Huan, Meng Le smiled and said, "Look at your familiar shelf, this time has not been less!" ”
I laughed without saying a word, stopped in front of Ah Huan's door, listened to the intermittent sound of the piano coming from the house, and stopped to knock on the door.
The sound of the piano in the house stopped suddenly, and Ah Huan's voice came from inside, "Something?" ”
"It's me!"
The room was silent for a moment, and then I heard Ah Huan say, "Come in!" ”
I pushed the door and went in, only to see Ah Huan sitting in front of the window and stroking the piano, I stepped forward and said, "Ah Huan!" ”
I saw him point to the next pause, look up and ask, "You.... But what did you bring with you? ”
I opened the oil paper package in my hand, and gave him a string of fragrant mutton skewers, "This is made by the new chef of the Western Regions in Tianxianglou, I think it's good to eat, so I brought it to you, you can also taste it, it's very good!" ”
He smiled lightly, took the lamb skewer in my hand, tasted it and said, "It's really delicious, thank you Zhenzhen!" ”
I saw the joy of his eating, and I was even happier in my heart, and I also took a bunch and ate it together, "Since Ah Huan likes it, I will often bring some to you." ”
He chuckled and said, "Okay." ”
"I've been wondering who is the person who can make Zhen Zhen so attractive! Originally...... It's Lotus Childe! ”
Ah Huan turned his eyes to look and found that I was not the only one in the room, I pulled Meng Le to sit down on the side, and introduced to him with a smile, "Ah Huan, this is Meng Le, my friend, you saw it last time." ”
Meng Le put away the folding fan and said with a smile, "Three thousand troubles, a trace is better than a trace." Lian Gongzi, do you remember it below? ”
Ah Huan smiled lightly: "I remember." ”
I picked up a skewer of mutton skewers and handed it to Meng Ledao, "Ah Huan, this is not a side, there is no need for such rules, we can be more comfortable." ”
Meng Le shook his head and smiled, "I can't eat this time, when I came in, I smelled a trace of medicine in the house, but Gongzi Lian was taking medicine?" ”
Ah Huan nodded and said, "Yes." ”
Meng Le put the fan away and said, "This mutton is in conflict with medicine, Lian Gongzi can't eat mutton even if he is taking medicine, and if the two things are eaten together, the medicinal properties will be halved." ”
I was taken aback, and hurriedly took the mutton skewers in Ah Huan's hand, apologized to Ah Huan, and turned my head to complain to Meng Le, since I knew, why not say it earlier, what if Ah Huan eats bad health.
I wrapped the mutton skewers in oiled paper again, and it happened that a turtle came into the house to deliver tea, so he casually enjoyed it, Meng Le sighed to me, "Lian Gongzi, this house is originally a gauze tent like a cloud, and the light fragrance hits people, which can be described as elegant and elegant." As soon as you came, the whole house was filled with the smell of oil smoke and meat, and you introduced the mortal air into this fairyland, and the elegance became the vulgar, but it's a pity! ”
Ah Huan said with a smile, "Miss Meng may feel that the house is stuffy, and I have a box of Loulan incense, which tastes light and elegant, and burns comfortably, which is a gift from the old people." I'll burn it, how? ”
Meng Le was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ah Huan to recognize her identity, but he reacted in an instant, holding a fan and laughing, "That's very good." ”
Ah Huan got up to burn incense, and Meng Le whispered to me, "This Lian Gongzi's eyes are really poisonous, and he can see my identity at a glance, unlike those fools in the army, who have been in one place for ten years, and I didn't see that I was a daughter." ”
I sighed softly, "Everyone in this alley is clever, everyone just doesn't say it!" ”
Meng Le nodded, and said that it was reasonable, and when Ah Huan sat down again, he only heard Meng Le suddenly "Huh! He asked, "Miss Meng doesn't like the taste?" ”
"Definitely!" Meng Le looked at the jade crown on his hair and said with a smile: "Where did the jade crown on Gongzi Lian's hair come from, I see that this workmanship is extraordinary, even if it comes out of the palace, it can't compare to half of it." ”
Ah Huan smiled lightly, "Miss Meng has good eyesight, this jade crown is given by the deceased." ”
Meng Le nodded, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "Since the son is loved, he shouldn't have spoken, but there is really something unspeakable in the future, and I want to ask the son for a thin face and transfer the jade crown to me." That's right! I have a bowl of big shark beads, rumored to be the old years when the water, Yu used to control the water of the one, the color is excellent, it is rare, I would like to give it to the lotus boy. ”
Ah Huan looked at me, I just stuffy my head and eat the small peach crisp, since Ah Huan knows that I like to eat the small peach cake in the south of the city, I send people to buy it every day, whether I come or not, there is a plate on the table, only this, every time I think of it, I am very happy in my heart.
Ah Huan smiled indifferently and said to Meng Le, "Miss Meng is a good friend of Zhen Zhen, and it is the first time she has opened her mouth to me, if it is an ordinary thing, I will definitely give it to Miss Meng." It's just that this jade crown is different from something else, and it was given to me by a very important person. So, let Miss Meng down. ”
I am very happy to say this, the jade crown praised by Meng Le is what I gave to Ah Huan, but I didn't expect Ah Huan to say that I am a very important person, even so, he must have a little bit of me in his heart.
Meng Le hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "That's it!" can make Lian Gongzi care like this, it must be a good sweetheart of the child, and he must be as gentle as the child, and he is a rare beauty. ”
Ah Huan just looked at me and smiled lightly, "Miss Meng is only half right, it is true that her sweetheart is true, but she is not a gentle character, she will be cold at every turn, I will not come for ten days and half a month, and I don't even bother to send a letter. ”
