Chapter 139: Pity the Shadow in the Picture
Vermilion lacquer gate, tiger head gold shop, majestic. On the black golden silk nanmu, there is a trace of golden lines, and there are three dark golden characters of "Gu Hou Mansion" written on it, which are vigorous and powerful, noble and extraordinary.
The nine-song corridor in the courtyard, strange flowers and plants, carved beams and painted buildings, colorful butterflies flying, strange rocks, small bridges and flowing water, as if the world is finely crafted, it is not an exaggeration to call it a fairyland.
Next to the lotus pond, Gu Hou and Gu Boxi were playing chess with Gu Jiuxiao.
Gu Jiuxiao was dressed in women's clothes, which were different shades of blue, like layers of water waves, rippling with different ripples in the sun, very gentle and stretching. He has a veil on his face, long eyeliner on his eyes, and gold dust at the end of his eyes. At the center of the eyebrows, two petals are outlined, as if they are growing with the wind, as reckless as possible.
Gu Boxi and Gu Jiuxiao's eyebrows and eyes are eight points similar, otherwise Chu Yueli would not admit his mistake. The two were born on the same day, the same month, the same year, and the difference is the order of the half of the tea.
The two have very different personalities, but their bodies are surprisingly bad.
Every year, either this one almost dies, or the one who steps into the ghost gate.
Old Gu Hou left early, the eldest princess has been widowed for many years, in addition to these two sons, there is also a daughter named Brother Xi, whose body bones are not very strong, but unlike the two elder brothers, their lives will always hang by a thread.
If it weren't for the eldest princess's strong heart and good means, this huge Gu Mansion would have been dispersed a long time ago.
Gu Boxi's sunspot fell, Gu Jiuxiao pushed the chess card and said, "No, it's boring." ”
Gu Boxi smiled good-naturedly.
Brother Gu Xi, accompanied by the maid Yuhuan, came quickly, grinned, and said, "Second brother is playing tricks again......"
Brother Gu Xi has a plain white face, a slender body, and is not tall, he looks like a child about twelve years old, but in fact, he is already fifteen, and he has reached the age of saying goodbye. She wore a crescent-colored dress, and her hair was split in three, one draped behind her back and the other two combed into two small buns. The small bun is decorated with a pearl and a few small bead flowers that are fake, although simple, but extremely rich.
Gu Jiuxiao glanced at Brother Gu Xi and said, "What do you mean by cheating?" I'm afraid that your eldest brother will be in a bad mood and unwell if he loses, so it's better to disperse. After a slight pause, "Brother Xi, have you forgotten, what do you have to call me these days?" ”
The maid Yuhuan brought a round stool and placed it on one side of the chessboard.
Brother Gu Xi sat down, and while separating the black and white sons, he said, "Remember, second sister." Looking at Gu Jiuxiao, she smiled crookedly, "Second sister is so good-looking." ”
Gu Jiuxiao raised his hand and flicked Gu Xige's forehead. Gently, uselessly.
Brother Gu Xi covered his forehead, looked at Gu Boxi, deliberately funny, and said aggrievedly: "Big brother, you see that the second sister is bullying people again!" ”
Gu Boxi smiled: "I can't beat him again." It's better to let him ...... Ahem...... cough cough cough ...... ”
Brother Gu Xi immediately said, "Is it a little windy?" Big brother, let's go inside. ”
Gu Boxi waved his hand weakly and said, "It's okay." Your delicate daughter's family is not afraid of this breeze, and I, as a big brother, why am I afraid? ”
Brother Gu Xi frowned and said, "Let my mother know, I can't clean you up!" Instead, he said, "Big brother, you go on, how about the second sister?" ”
Gu Boxi looked at Gu Jiuxiao and said, "Let him use the silver to make amends for your sins." You also know that your second sister has the most money. ”
Brother Gu Xi nodded, nodded frequently, stretched out his hand, and said, "That's right, the second sister gave the silver." ”
Gu Jiuxiao said: "Daughter's family, don't put the silver on your lips, be careful about the smell of copper." Looking at Gu Boxi, he smiled, "Big brother, do you know what your concubine who is about to enter the door looks like?" ”
Gu Boxi shook his head and replied, "How would I know?" Everything is the mother in Zhang Luo. ”
Brother Gu Xi pulled Gu Jiuxiao's sleeve and asked eagerly, "Second sister knows?" Tell us about it. ”
Gu Jiuxiao smiled deeply and said, "I naturally know. What is going on in this imperial capital, and what I Gu Jiuye don't know? ”
Brother Gu Xi said: "Second sister, second brother, don't sell Guanzi, say it quickly." ”
Gu Jiuxiao shouted: "Zhao Buyu! ”
Zhao Buyu walked out of the shadows, hugged his fists and said, "My subordinates are here." ”
Gu Jiuxiao said: "Say it." ”
Zhao Buyu's expression was wooden, but he said what he saw and heard clearly.
Gu Jiuxiao concluded: "You, a noble concubine, are not only difficult to get along with, but also a greedy master. The lady of the Chu family was originally a concubine, and she couldn't get on the stage, and her eyelids were shallow enough to dry salted fish. Chu Yueli, the third lady of the Chu family, and Mrs. Chu, you come and go, which can be seen. Ugly treasure? Poof...... Ugly treasure? Hahaha......"
Brother Gu Xi twisted his eyebrows and said, "In this way, she is really not easy to get along with." ”
Gu Jiuxiao took the opportunity to say, "Big brother might as well abandon her." It's just a noble concubine, where can't you find someone to love? ”
Gu Boxi said: "It's just a concubine, my mother likes it, and she is in the backyard, so don't provoke her, and let her fend for herself." ”
Gu Jiuxiao said coldly: "I'm afraid that a red apricot will go out of the wall." ”
Gu Boxi glanced at Gu Jiuxiao and said, "You are interested in her." ”
Gu Jiuxiao said: "I'm interested in you, I'm afraid that her life will be too hard." ”
Gu Boxi groaned, "I'll go talk to my mother." After a slight pause, he looked at Zhao Buyu, "You said that the second lady's painting amazed the housekeeper?" ”
Zhao Buyu nodded.
Gu Boxi said: "The housekeeper's eyes have never been low, and he can praise him, and he thinks it is good." Go and call the butler and ask him to bring the paintings. ”
Zhao Buyu responded and went to find the housekeeper. A moment later, the butler hurried in with the painting.
Gu Boxi unfolded the picture scroll and saw the slender shadow under the begonia tree, and couldn't help but start to guess how the woman hiding behind the tree was out of the dust. I heard that she has also been sick for many years, and her health is just getting better. Such a talented woman, but her life is so thin.
Gu Boxi asked the housekeeper, "Do you know the name of the second miss of the Chu family?" ”
Steward Gu replied, "The old slave knows. The second young lady's name is Chu Lianying. ”
Gu Boxi once again set his eyes on the picture scroll, as if he smelled the fragrance of begonia flowers, and seemed to taste the delicate beauty behind the tree and the thoughts of his daughter, as well as silent anticipation and endless watch. Pity the shadow, pity the master of the shadow.
Gu Boxi put away the scroll and said, "This painting is good, the brushwork is skillful, and the skills can be seen." ”
Seeing that Gu Boxi didn't mean to return the painting, Steward Gu immediately heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of elegance, and said, "The old slave doesn't understand this, he just looks at the flowers and looks like they are really beautiful." Hearing what Hou Ye said, I realized that this painting was a waste to the old slave. If the Hou Ye does not dislike it, the old slave will borrow flowers to offer Buddha. ”
Gu Boxi smiled happily.
Gu Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Interesting." ”
Brother Gu Xi whispered, "Let's go out and play." It's been a long time since I've been out to play. ”
Gu Boxi responded: "It's okay." When I send someone to talk to my mother, we'll go to the lake. ”
Brother Gu Xi cheered.
