Chapter 21: The Favor of Beauty
Gong Changyi looked over vigilantly and saw a slender woman in a goose yellow jacket skirt climbing the branches and folding.
Probably injured her hand, she frowned slightly, pressing her fingertips like spring onions.
A little bright red emerges from the tip of the finger, which is particularly eye-catching between the goose yellow and light pink.
Gong Changyi looked at her beautiful side face, and suddenly became interested.
He came to the woman and said softly, "But it's hurt?" ”
I asked knowingly.
But both men need such an opportunity to break the parallel deadlock.
The woman bit her lip lightly, nodded slightly, and the jade-colored steps on her temples swayed slightly, reflecting her dark eyebrows.
The eyebrows and eyes are vaguely similar to his former green plums.
Gong Changyi was originally casually accosted, but when he saw this, he was a little serious.
"My residence is not far away, if the lady does not dislike it, you can go there to bandage."
"Thank you," the woman's voice was like a yellow bird, her face was dyed with a touch of red, she hung her head in shame, and nodded invisibly.
Yesterday the agate was too wild, and it was beaten out by this person.
According to her personal mother's analysis, this person should not like to give hugs and take the initiative to ask for joy.
So there was this chance encounter.
Gong Changyi politely led the way on the side and led her to the guest house.
Yuan Baoer was cleaning up the water lilies under the window, and when she saw the two of them coming, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
Gong Changyi motioned for her to get up and ordered, "Go find some medicine for the wound." ”
Yuan Bao'er blinked her eyes and saw that the woman was holding her wrist lightly, but it didn't seem to be hurt from anywhere, so she was a little confused.
Gong Changyi frowned when he saw that she was still not moving.
Yuan Bao'er hurriedly sent her mother-in-law to prepare.
The mother-in-law knew the woman, so she didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly ran to find the steward.
After surviving such a series of busyness, Gong Changyi and the woman had already played chess on the couch sitting near the window.
Yuan Baoer took the wound medicine and looked at the two of them through the window lattice, and finally blessed her soul and didn't go in to disturb her.
After two sets like this, it was almost evening.
The woman threw in and said with a smile: "The adults are good at chess, and the pearls are willing to bow down." ”
Yuan Bao'er had been waiting at the door, and when she heard this, she scratched her face.
Agate, pearl, sounds a lot like a hanging.
Didn't she think too much?
She muttered in her heart, and saw Gong Changyi send the pearl out.
She hurriedly stepped forward and offered the prepared medicine.
Gong Changyi handed the pearl and made a gift, "I was happy to see the hunt, and I was thinking about the chess pieces, but I forgot that the lady was still injured." ”
Pearl covered her mouth and smiled, bright and slightly turning, playful and moving, but also gentle and charming.
Gong Changyi was slightly stunned, and before he wanted to say anything, Pearl had already stepped out of the door.
He had no choice but to send her out.
After coming back, he called Yuan Bao'er over, "How much do you know about that pearl?" ”
Yuan Baoer said that she didn't know much more than him, and she looked entangled on her face, and said vaguely: "The ladies are all raised in the deep boudoir, and I am a kid, and I can't go to the backyard when I am idle." ”
Seeing that Gong Changyi was a little worried, Yuan Bao'er was worried that he would ask someone else, and then leak his own bottom, so he hurriedly said: "But the ladies in the family are very affectionate, and the lady attaches great importance to them, and it is said that they are not inferior to the daughters of the official families in Beijing." ”
Gong Changyi nodded slightly, and agreed with the comment on talent in his heart.
Yuan Bao'er looked at him carefully, "If the adults have a heart, the little ones will risk being beaten to death, and they will have to go to the backyard to get close to the sisters." ”
"Hugh is talking nonsense," Gong Changyi suddenly straightened his face, "Such a lady, how can you and other boys easily inquire about it." ”
Yuan Baoer secretly muttered to herself that she was hypocritical, with a respectful look on her face, and said yes again and again, and quickly admitted her mistake.
Gong Changyi saw that she took it seriously, for fear that she really didn't care, so he coughed again, "But that lady accepted the medicine from us, you go and ask how the medicine works, if it doesn't work, you have to go to Lang Zhong as soon as possible." ”
Yuan Baoer frantically complained in her heart that Gong Changyi was fake and serious, and he was dignified, and he should be respectful on his face.
When she went out, Yuan Baoer grabbed her mother-in-law who was close to her and asked about the pearl.
Only after this inquiry did I know that Han Shouchang had a problem with raising a righteous daughter.
These women were found by Han Shouchang's wife Zhou when they were young, raised in the house, taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, and were served by a special responsible grandmother.
Four of those ladies have been allowed to go out, and I heard that they are all very proud of the master's house, and now there are only three left in the backyard.
One is the agate who was caught up earlier, the pearl who has just gone out, and the other is named Yunwi.
Yuan Baoer was a little curious about this Yun Wei, whose name was obviously different from others, so she asked a few more questions.
The mother-in-law looked mysterious, laughed twice, and rarely showed off, "The gentlemen in this world like to burn incense and play the piano. That cloudy lady didn't deserve this name. ”
Yuan Bao'er blinked twice, and there were a bunch of question marks in her mind.
I always feel that her knowledge is too narrow, and she is out of step with everyone.
The mother-in-law saw that she didn't know why, thinking that he was such a big half-size son where he knew about the unknown habits of the official master, so she said: "You only remember that Yun Wei didn't show up, and there were rumors in the early years that he was going to give it away." ”
Send it out, where to go?
Yuan Bao'er's eyes are big, and the meaning is all in the eyes.
The mother-in-law raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced outside.
Yuan Bao'er was stunned, her mind spinning wildly.
According to this mother-in-law, these people are similar to objects in the eyes of the Han family.
The Han family raised them, just waiting for the price to sell.
Gong Changyi is a high-ranking official from Beijing, and he only sent agate pearls and the like.
With such a push, it can be seen that Yun Wei is going to send a bigger official.
She speculated in her heart, and pinched her head and tail to report to Gong Changyi.
Knowing that Pearl was such an existence, Gong Changyi's interest faded slightly.
It was getting dark and drizzling.
Yuan Bao'er sat under the window and thought of the farmland in Zhoujia Village that had been cut beyond recognition.
I don't know if they sowed seeds, but if this rain passes, I'm afraid they will really miss the farming time.
She looked a little sad, sighed softly and closed the door.
As she was about to close, she heard the door knock.
She hurriedly pushed open a gap and saw that it was Gong Qing who rushed back through the night.
Gong Qing came back and went straight to the main house, Yuan Bao'er knew that he must have something to do, so he hurried out.
I don't want the two of them to be so vigilant in the house, even if they stand at the base of the window, they can only hear a few voices, and they can't hear what they are saying.
Yuan Baoer was worried that her whereabouts would be seen, so she went to the pantry and boiled some hot water.
About two quarters of an hour later, Gong Qing came out and went to his room, Yuan Bao'er hurriedly greeted him, "Do you want some hot water?" ”
Gong Qing's feet paused slightly, "It's okay." ”
Yuan Baoer brought hot water and sent it to his room.
The road was muddy, and Gong Qing's official boots were full of muddy water.
Yuan Baoer put the basin next to the bed and went to serve tea.
When he came back, Gong Qing had already loosened his clothes, and only his underwear was soaked there.
Yuan Bao'er was startled, hurriedly lowered her eyelids, put the tea tray on the coffee table in his hand, and looked at the shoes that were thrown at random.
