Chapter 33: Autumn Xiao (I)

After pondering about others for so long, he actually made a fuss about himself, which is really a funny and angry thing, Scarlet Cloud himself choked, and couldn't help but be surprised, and slapped on the edge of the bath bucket, and was knocked red by the texture of cedar wood.

"Well, are you still going to inquire?" Her young lady didn't seem to hear this at all, but still closed her eyes and spoke to her in a lazy tone.

Scarlet Cloud was still crying, waving his palms vigorously and exhaling repeatedly: "Oops...... Hiss...... Yes? Miss, does Miss want me to go? ”

"Snort...... You girl, really. Shen Yuan was still holding it at first, but now he finally couldn't help laughing, stretched out his finger and poked Scarlet Cloud's forehead, "Where are you going?" It doesn't matter what her name is, what does it have to do with us. ”

This cold disease came and went quickly, and it was soon fine after soaking in mugwort leaves. Scarlet Yun's words were reasonable, so for three days after that, Shen Yuan no longer asked about external affairs, and only said that he wanted to go to Guanli to make incense, and he needed to prepare piously and dye less mundane affairs.

This time, the time, place and people were all right, and there was no movement outside the door. Originally, there were not many people who had seen Oiran come forward, and everyone still thought that she was still not out of the door and did not step out of the second door, so there was no discussion in the Leng Xiang Pavilion.

This little pavilion master also really learned a lesson, and he never had "early morning music and noisy" anymore, and only practiced at dusk and evening. At that time, the sound of the pipa had to penetrate the carved railings of the doors and windows, and coiled several times in the two-story hall, and finally fell into the ears of others, as if it came from heaven, and it was only fascinating but not disturbing the ears.

The news of Shen Yuan's illness was well concealed, and he couldn't get out of his room, so no fourth person knew about it. Although the Lord of the Leng Xiang Pavilion didn't know about it, he had some doubts in his heart, so he still visited Shen Yuan twice in person, and saw Shen Yuan's complexion with his own eyes, so he was no longer overly careless.

There are not many things in the Leng Xiang Pavilion, and there are many things to say less, and the big and small are always uninterrupted. The lotus bones in the vat in the front yard have grown, the pavilion is planted, the fragrance is far and clear, there is a newly made vermilion lacquer card on the counter in the front hall, quietly waiting to hang out, the girl written on it has a surname, looking at the total feeling of some origins, the full name is called "Shengqiu Xiao".

Shen Yuan felt that the mid-autumn Xiao was not as beautiful as the warbler.

The first time they met, it was the day before they went to the Immortal Temple. The kitchen made a vegetarian meal as usual, and Mo Yuan ordered in advance and asked Shen Yuan to come over for dinner together. The sunset that day was beautiful, reflected in the corridor through the openwork window lattice, like a red paper-cut during the New Year.

“…… This is the first time, I will take you to recognize the way and learn the rules. Your health is always bad, so you don't have to stick to your days in the future, and if you want to go one day, just let me know and take someone out. ”

"I taught you all when I was young, haven't you forgotten? Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, you should kneel three times and bow nine times, if you can't support it, don't get up halfway, and don't tight......"

Shui Yun went to pass the meal and didn't come back, Shui Fu first served hawthorn divine comedy tea. Mo Yu Mandarin sent her to lead Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud to the outside to eat some candy, and she told Shen Yuan some trivial details in the inner room.

Shen Yuan listened to them one by one, and took the initiative to ask some details. The big and small things were explained clearly, and after drinking half a cup of tea, I realized that I had not seen Shui Zhi, and I couldn't help but ask: "Madam, where is Shui Zhi?" ”

"She'll be here later, and she'll bring someone to meet you." Mo Yuyuan mentioned slightly, raised his hand and took the teacup from Shen Yuan's hand: "Don't drink it, you won't be able to eat it later." If you want to go to incense, it's all vegetarian dishes today, and tomorrow morning, are you still used to it? ”

"Well," Shen Yuan nodded his head, "Worshipping the gods should be as pious as possible, I understand." Mo Yuyuan said that Shui Zhi was going to bring someone, but she didn't care much.

"Madam, Miss Qiu Xiao has arrived." It didn't take long for a knock on the door outside, followed by Shui Zhi's voice. The door squeaked open, and Shui Zhi led the way, followed by a young woman, wearing a lotus-white round-necked and small-sleeved knee-length cardigan, and a mustard purple deep-pleated sprinkled skirt.

Shen Yuan only noticed that there was a bright pink sucked ingot tassel purse tied to the slit on the side of the woman's waist, and there seemed to be some kind of embroidery on it. The small one of the purses can be embroidered on it with a delicate pattern that can be seen at a cursory look, which shows that the embroidery is not ordinary.

"Qiu Xiao, please Mrs. Ann, Miss Ann."

Shui Zhi stepped aside, and the woman approached alone, her gait was very upright, and her skirt was not messy at all. Before Shen Yuan could see her appearance clearly, she had already folded her hands at her waist, bent over and bowed, her voice was soft, and it was very comfortable to listen to.

Shen Yuan knew that he shouldn't speak by himself at this time, he just needed to sit upright, and after receiving a deep bow from the woman, he saw clearly that she was combing her small bun, with two gilt hairpins inserted in the side of the bun, and a Shixin white blue thousand-petal chrysanthemum Huasheng with a red head tied with two big braids. When Mo Yuyuan nodded with satisfaction and let her get up, Shen Yuan was able to see her face and figure clearly.

It's really not as beautiful as the warbler, but it has a different charm.

The face of melon seeds, peach cheeks and sandalwood, the skin is white like fresh snow, delicate as clotted fat, the eyebrows are tactfully and naturally painted, the deer eyes seem to be covered by fog and water, and a smile is suitable for joy and hatred; The collar is like a grub, the hands are like soft wattles, the body is tall, the waist is slender and slender, and the gestures are all manners.

"What a beautiful woman." Shen Yuan praised from the bottom of his heart.

The woman smiled humbly, bent her knees and bowed again: "Miss is beautiful, Qiu Xiao is ashamed." ”

Mo Yuyuan waved her hand to get her up, and said to Shen Yuan: "Her surname is Sheng, her name is Qiu Xiao, she has been in Lengxiang Pavilion seven years ago, she has been learning art, and she will be fifteenth on the sixth day of the first month of next month." ”

Shen Yuan blinked and turned his face playfully: "Oh, then I didn't know that there has always been such a flower-like figure hidden in our Leng Xiang Pavilion, and Madame is so biased." ”

Mo Yu didn't hear it, and continued: "Qiu Xiao has never seen a guest, and when she is over fifteen years old, it will be Qixi Festival, and I will arrange for her to perform on stage." Tomorrow I will go to the Immortal Temple, and she will follow her, and I specially called her over today to let you meet in advance. ”

"Well, I've seen it." Shen Yuan nodded, pursed his lips sideways, and was quite reserved. There is a sentence that she is embarrassed to ask in front of people, Sheng Qiuxiao, who has a surname, and thinks it is her real name, that is the flower girl who sells her art but not her body?

Her answer blocked the words, and the atmosphere became delicate, and those who didn't know would think that the two masters were secretly fighting in the ring, and the lady saw that the young lady was useless, so she wanted to set up this oiran and pick up another one that stood out. Sheng Qiu Xiao was interested, nodded and smiled softly and submissively, and saw that Shui Zhi was already standing beside the pavilion master, so he went to the side of the Oiran to wait.
