Chapter 209: Admiration
Outside the city of Qingyuan, there is a forest path, which was opened up by merchants in the past dynasties in order to take a shortcut. With its back against the mountain and the water in front, there are often shouts from far and near on the way, which is very funny.
This road is not bumpy and difficult, so many young ladies who are in a hurry will also walk from this side, so it has gradually developed into prosperity.
At this time, by the river, a group of people and horses sat on the ground, with a dusty look on their faces, and they knew at a glance that they had come from afar. The two coachmen were washing their faces in the river, and the two little maids on the other side were joking and making trouble, which provoked one of the young ladies in the carriage to hook the corners of her mouth and hide her face and snicker.
This young lady has bright eyes and bright teeth, and there is the fragrance of books cultivated by years of reading around her eyes, and her every move is just the right amount of gentleness and softness. This person is none other than Hu Yuanyuan in the Lin family's retirement after Yun Genggeng's marriage.
Hu Yuanyuan has lived in the capital for many years, but she is raised by the dragon vein, and she is in the most prosperous area, and her vision is naturally different from ordinary people. It's just that the Hu family has a strict family education, and Hu Yuanyuan doesn't have many opportunities to play outside when she is young, so she has developed a quiet and polite temperament.
A few days ago, Father Hu came to inform Hu Yuanyuan that the Lin family, the housemother of the Qingyuan City Si family, intended to let her go over to have a look. Si Jiaming Yang Wanli, that is a well-known family. Compared with the Hu family in this regard, it is simply more than a star and a half, so they naturally think that this is a great opportunity, and hurriedly send Hu Yuanyuan over.
The son of the Si family has a brilliant demeanor, and Hu Yuanyuan is naturally quite yearning. Her mind is quite clear, and she also knows what the Lin family means. In the early years, she had also seen the rumored son of the Si family with her own eyes, it was raining that day, Si Linche stood in the thin rain and fog with his hands, dressed in white and snow, and his face was like a peach blossom, like the posture of heaven and man, which made people admire.
At that time, Hu Yuanyuan and him were just shocked, but at a glance, he could see that Si Linche was different from others. It's just that he didn't get what he wanted at that time, although the Hu family also had some money, but it was not as good as the Si family, and Hu's father sighed back then that it would be good if his daughter could marry Si Linche.
Hu Yuanyuan fanned her with a fan, thinking that she thought that she would have nothing to do with Si Linche in this life, but she didn't expect that the two of them really had some fate, and the Lin family actually took a fancy to her and wanted her to come over and take a look. If the housewife of another family did this, Hu Yuanyuan would naturally feel that the family was frivolous and did not know the etiquette, but when it came to the Si family, whether it was from the family background or background, it would have to be said separately.
"Miss, what are you doing in a daze? Could it be, I'm thinking about that Si Gongzi! The maid Hu Yuanyuan brought this time has been with her since she was a child, and she is not afraid of her, and when she saw that she was stunned, she came over and joked.
"You're going to talk nonsense!" Hu Yuanyuan patted her with a smile, her face flushed slightly, and she couldn't help but instruct: "It's a joke to make people listen to it, it's not like home, don't talk nonsense."
The little girl laughed, sat down next to Hu Yuanyuan, pointed to the far away place in the forest, and said very coquettishly: "Miss, the carriage can follow us for a while, shouldn't it, Si Gongzi came to pick up Miss, and wanted to surprise Miss?"
Hu Yuanyuan looked back, and sure enough, she could vaguely see a carriage, following them for a few days, maybe it was the Si family who came to protect her, maybe they were on the same road.
Hu Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "Where do I know who it is, the Si family's big and small affairs are waiting for Si Gongzi to take care of, how can I come back."
Although she said so, Hu Yuanyuan still looked at the carriage with a little anticipation.
In fact, Hu Yuanyuan guessed well, this carriage is indeed from the Si family, but it is not Si Linche who is sitting in it, but Si Linche's sister Si Xiaohui.
Lin's maiden family was a well-known scholarly family in the capital in the early years, and the two elders doted on Lin since childhood, and the relationship was very harmonious. After Lin married Qingyuan, he couldn't bear the loneliness of the second elder, so he sent Si Xiaohui, who was just a full year old, to the capital to raise him. On weekdays, there is usually only the festive period, or the Lin family goes north, or Si Xiaohui goes south, and so many years have passed.
This time I also knew about Hu Yuanyuan, Si Xiaohui was not a person who could stand loneliness, so she also came back together, wanting to surprise Si Linche and the Lin family.
"Xiaohui, eat something," Xi's mother is Si Xiaohui's wet nurse when she is a child, and she is naturally a first-class good, the two have a cordial relationship, and they have always called Xiaohui, and they are very close.
Afraid that she would be hungry, Xi's mother brought some snacks over, and said distressedly: "It's about to go to Qingyuan, you can eat more when the time comes, Xiaohui has lost a lot of weight along the way, and the old lady will be scolded when she goes back."
Si Xiaohui took a piece of dim sum and ate it, clapped her hands, and sighed: "I don't know what kind of person this Hu girl who came all the way is who is, probably not out of the gate, and not out of the second door, I haven't seen her in the capital for so many years."
"I heard that she is a knowledgeable young lady," Xi's mother said, "It's just that Si Gongzi doesn't seem to want to marry her, but already has a heart."
Si Xiaohui was taken aback: "Brother already has someone he likes?" How I've never heard of it. ”
"I'm also hearsay, it's just a rumor I heard yesterday," Xi's mother shook her head again and again, seeing that Si Xiaohui was very curious, she had to explain: "It is said that his name is Yun Genggeng, a child of an ordinary peasant family, who came out only after having a quarrel with his aunt and uncle at home, and it seems that he has some small achievements in Qingyuan now, and he has been with Si Gongzi for a while, but I don't know how it is now."
Hu Yuanyuan frowned, no matter what her brother said, he was one in a million, how could he let this vulgar woman take advantage, when he was not happy to say: "Then how can it be done, the door is not the right one, why is my brother so sloppy this time."
After finishing speaking, I looked at Hu Yuanyuan in the distance, and I only felt that it was like a hibiscus out of the water, beautiful and moving. Si Xiaohui slapped her thigh, she couldn't bear it anymore, and got up and said, "I'll go and explore the reality of Hu Yuanyuan first."
Xi's mother naturally couldn't stop her, so she had to shake her head and simply go with her.
Hu Yuanyuan must have been a little surprised when she saw this little sister of the Si family, but she quickly returned to nature, and three or two sentences established a good image in Si Xiaohui's heart.
Si Xiaohui is a hot person, after recognizing Hu Yuanyuan, she talked to her with a bit of a heart-wrenching posture, plus she was angry, and said: "Miss Hu, don't worry, I am still very optimistic about you, I must let you marry into the Si family safely and steadily, whatever cloud Geng Geng, I will clean up the door for you, a wild girl like her, where is she worthy of my brother!"
