Chapter Seventy-Seven: A Life Is Not a Good Man
With the passage of time, the moon also slowly rises from the treetops, it is draped in silver veil, with light steps, step by step towards the night sky, which looks particularly elegant and noble.
The man looked up at the night slightly, and then quietly glanced at the guests in the main hall, and then gave a look to an old man beside him who had been standing with his head down.
The old man seemed to have been watching this man's every move, and when he received the man's eye signal, he immediately took a few steps forward and listened with his hands down.
And this old man is the old man who An Heng met in the mansion during the day, and his blood was as strong as the scorching sun.
"How's the garden going?" The man spoke slowly, his voice majestic and majestic, as if he did not contain the slightest emotion.
Hearing the man speak, the old man's head lowered a little lower, and he replied very respectfully: "Back to the Hou Ye, the Gui Garden has been arranged and can be used at any time!" ”
The man tapped the handrail lightly with the middle finger of his right hand and said lightly: "Go and invite the ladies to the garden!" ”
"Yes!" The old man lowered his eyebrows and slowly withdrew from the main hall.
The man withdrew his gaze and calmly looked at the people below and said, "Now that the moonlight is just right, why don't you move to the garden?" ”
Everyone happily agreed, pairing up in twos and threes, and then followed the man towards the Katsura Garden.
An Heng's consciousness is also close behind.
Before approaching this so-called osmanthus garden, there is a faint fragrance that hits people's hearts, refreshing people's hearts, and everyone has opened their mouths to praise the fragrance of this osmanthus flower.
Although An Heng is conscious, he also smelled the faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which is indeed pleasant, but it is not as exaggerated as these people around him say.
"Dull and light lute, soft sex, sexual estrangement is far away and only fragrant"
Entering this osmanthus garden, An Heng really felt the charm and fragrance of osmanthus in this garden.
The garden is full of blooming osmanthus trees, and the trees are full of small golden flowers, which look only the size of a grain of rice and have four petals.
At this time, a gust of autumn wind blew gently, and the fine osmanthus flowers were scattered all over the ground, and suddenly the gold was all over the ground, as if to lay a golden carpet in this garden.
The Gui Garden is very large, there are about thirty or forty people in this group, and the scattered in the garden does not seem crowded at all.
There was a pavilion in the garden, and there was a lot of space in it, and this man sat in it with four guests chatting, and it seemed that these four people should be the most distinguished of the guests tonight.
There were still plenty of vacant seats in the gazebo, but no one in the garden sat down.
As soon as a few people sat down, the old housekeeper from before bowed his head slightly, and without squinting, he also came to the garden with a group of warblers and Yanyan.
An Heng understands that these women look to be around twenty years old, and they should all be the wives and concubines of this man, and they look very happy.
Basically, the women entered the pavilion with one or two young children in their hands, who looked to be about six or seven years old.
"I've seen the master!"
"Meet Father!" The wives and children greeted the men.
The man nodded lightly and said, "Take a seat!" ”
Hearing the man's command, these women dared to act.
One of the women sat beside the man, holding a boy in her right hand and a kitten with snow-white fur in her left hand.
Although this woman looks graceful, her lips are thin, but she looks a little mean.
After the woman was seated, a woman stepped forward and sat down lightly.
There were still many seats, but the rest of the women were just holding the children and standing quietly aside.
An Heng was a little sudden, the mean woman holding the kitten should be the main wife, and the one sitting under her should be the flat wife, and those who can't sit and can only stand are probably concubines.
An Heng didn't expect that the status of these concubines was so low that they couldn't even sit.
An Heng could obviously see some young children led by the concubines, looking at the chair next to him with a look of longing in his eyes, obviously still young and wanted to sit down, but none of the young children dared to make a noise.
And one of the concubines is particularly eye-catching, this woman is dressed in a white dress, looks dusty, there is no extra decoration on the skirt, just embroidered a few plum blossoms in full bloom, ice muscle and jade bones, elegant and refined.
The appearance is beautiful, but there is a hint of sickly paleness, giving people a feeling of frailty.
The woman in the pavilion is not lacking in the sky, but compared to this woman, it is a little overshadowed.
The woman in the white dress seemed to know that the child was standing a little unbearable, and gently stroked the child's little head as a comfort.
The child appeared to be visibly thin and somewhat pale, unlike the ruddy-complexed children around him.
And the other concubines obviously don't stand with the woman in the white dress.
The mother and son just stood quietly on the side, as if they were in another world.
When the mean woman holding a white kitten above swept her gaze over the woman in the white dress, there was obviously some disgust in her eyes.
When the silvery moonlight sprinkled in this laurel garden, it seemed to coat the whole garden with a layer of silver light.
"Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting, let's start now!" The man sitting at the top spoke slowly, and his voice was not loud but clear throughout the entire Katsura Garden.
Soon someone in the garden threw bricks and jade, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.
The men in the pavilion also fought against the guests.
These wives and concubines also have some talents, and whenever this man and the guests around him say verses, these women can also agree with the scene.
These guests in the Katsura Garden seem to have learned a lot, and the poems come as soon as they open their mouths.
The night is getting darker and darker, and the gazebo that was originally lively is indeed a little deserted.
It turned out that the man in Chinese clothes said the upper part of a poem, but he didn't say the lower part for a long time.
The four guests who sat down were also frowning, obviously unable to think of a suitable lower rhyme for a while.
The wives and concubines around them also frowned slightly, obviously thinking about Xia Run, maybe in their opinion, if they could come up with Xia Yun before everyone, they would be more favored by this man!
Just as everyone was pondering, the woman in the white dress said slowly.
After listening to the lower rhyme of the woman in the white dress, the brows of the four guests on the side also slowly relaxed, obviously the lower rhyme of the woman in the white skirt was right.
Just didn't wait for the guests to speak, the mean woman holding the white kitten suddenly reprimanded: "Acting frivolously and not abiding by women's morals, it's really a habit of Qinglou that doesn't change." There was undisguised disgust in the mean woman's eyes, and the sound was so loud that the guests outside the pavilion could hear it.
The surrounding guests were obviously a little surprised, but when they looked at the expressionless man on the face, no one said anything.
When the woman in the white dress heard this, her thin body shook a little, and her face was pale and stubborn looking at the expressionless man above.
Who knew that the man sitting on the top slowly spoke: "It is indeed unruly, apologize to Madame, and then retreat!" ”
When the mean woman holding the white kitten heard this, her face was smug and she looked at the woman in the white dress standing next with contempt.
The woman in the white dress was full of disappointment and death, her face was pale, her silver teeth bit her lip lightly, and she lowered her head and said softly: "What Madame taught me is that the concubines are unruly and disturb the guests' temperament!" ”
