Chapter 7 Meeting in the Garden The love of father and daughter
I instantly closed my eyes and lowered them, my long eyelashes hiding the panic in my eyes. The middle-aged man in front of me is my father, the famous Marquis of Zhenguo. I walked slowly in front of him, bent my hands in front of my chest, and bowed slightly to my father, "Daughter, greetings to my father." Hearing my greeting like this, my father was stunned for a moment, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and then, nervously, he repeated his beard, and said in a slightly squeaky tone: "It's rare for your child to be so polite." As he spoke, he strolled towards the study. I looked at his figure as he walked away, and was about to turn to leave, when my father said from afar: "When you have had enough, go back to your room quickly, and don't get cold." His voice was strong and powerful, although he was a general on the battlefield, he cared about me in every detail, like a little nagging little old man, I couldn't help but feel a heat in my heart, like a warm current filling my body.
I naughtily shouted at my father's back, "Got it." The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he made a "goodbye" wave motion. Ling Qiao asked me curiously, "Miss, what do you mean by this action?" Her eyes were clear and transparent, like a wave of water reflected in the brilliant sun. I didn't answer, just smiled. grabbed her, "Let's go, give me a few peonies, I want to smoke the house, the bloody gas of the past few days is too heavy." ”
When I walked into the gate of the garden, I saw a new green in front of me, and after a while, I heard the birds there"; Chirping, as if to welcome us to visit their home. Look at these flowers and plants, there are bamboo, osmanthus, chrysanthemums and other plants. The bamboo is on the left side of the gate, and I looked up along the bamboo pole, which is five stories high, and there are many small birds resting on the bamboo leaves, because the bamboo leaves are very lush, and they can provide shelter from the sun and rain. There is an osmanthus on the right side of the gate, go forward, the breeze blows, the fragrance of osmanthus wafts to the face, it is refreshing! The garden is full of peonies of all colors, and the flowers, green grass and towering giant trees are unforgettable. We walked along the path, the peonies on both sides are carefully cultivated, the branches are sparse, the green leaves are round, and each texture of the flowers is delicate and beautiful, each flower is full of spirit, confidently show their peerless elegance, here in spring flowers bloom, summer green trees into the shade, autumn fresh fruit fragrance, winter snow. Walking forward, you will find that you are surrounded by green Hokkien tea, with purple colorful hibiscus and thorny begonias on the left and right. On the far left there are red chrysanthemums and a row of yellow chrysanthemums, the chrysanthemum leaves have fine hairs, and the red chrysanthemums have a yellow core in the middle. There is a rhododendron next to the chrysanthemum, and the leaves of the azalea have a layer of soft thorns, which makes it itchy to the touch. Further on, you will arrive at the center of the garden, the center of the garden is a pond with a rockery in it, on which a few rich bamboos grow, and there are cute little fish swimming freely in the warm sunlight around the mountain.
Along the deep path, it seems that the whole world is immersed in a sea of golden light. I was also in this brilliant sea of light. The sunlight sprinkled all over my clothes and warmed my heart, and the sunlight was not strong, gentle and tranquil, just right. The whole earth was permeated, my surroundings were illuminated as if they were transparent, and the world was completely enveloped in this holy atmosphere.
Under the golden sun, I felt like I had been reborn, and my whole person was immersed in my current identity, as if this was my life. It's been nearly three hours, and the afterglow of the setting sun is shining on the pointed roof of the courtyard, and the surroundings are completely covered in warmth. Ling Qiao and I walked back to my room.
"Miss!" A young man's voice came from a distance, and I looked up to see a small man hurrying in front of me, dressed in a dark blue jacket, made of somewhat rough linen, which seemed to have been soaked in a small spot of oil or something, which must have been newly made today, and he obviously did not notice the stain on his clothes. If you look closely, you can see that there are raw edges on the shoulders, and the source can see that they are worn by carrying water or carrying burdens. He rolled up his cuffs and turned out the white lining, and a large black stain was evident sticking to it, which was probably also left by the work. The lower body is a pair of black linen pants, and since they are black, it looks like they are dirty and you can't see them. There were a few curls at the hem of the trousers, and brown mud spots were on them. Under his feet were a pair of black cloth shoes, which were stained with some mud, and it seemed that he was in a hurry. When he saw me from afar, he smiled respectfully: "Miss, you are in the garden, so that the minions are easy to find." The lord invites you to the living room, and there are distinguished guests. He said a little breathlessly.
"Guest?" I can't help but wonder. "Who?"
"Yo, this old man didn't say it, the slave was clumsy, and he didn't see it." He quickly bowed back.
"Got it, you go first. I'll go over it. I glanced at Ling Qiao and motioned for her to come along. With that, he turned and walked in the direction of the living room.
"Huh? Miss, you're going to go over here! "Ling Qiao grabbed me and blocked me in front of me." Miss, this body is too casual, you have to dress up when you meet guests! ”
Hearing Ling Qiao's words, I looked down at the lake, and a handsome face was reflected in the water, with black hair tied up high, wrapped in emerald ribbons, and snow-white satin. A long tassel of red silk is tied around the waist, and a piece of mutton fat white jade is tied on it, and it is covered with soft smoke and light yarn. The eyebrows are long into the sideburns, the slender and gentle eyes, the bridge of the nose is straight, the skin is as white as snow, a pair of eyes of the spirit of the world do not contain any impurities, clear but bottomless, the face in the reflection is heroic, not at all the gentleness of the woman in the boudoir, but like a handsome son. I couldn't help but raise the corners of my mouth slightly, thinking that my man's outfit was really good-looking, so I walked to the living room without looking back.
The Hou Mansion was huge, and he finally went back to the living room. Approaching the hall, my eyes were stunned, and next to my father stood a man with a soft appearance, clear facial features like a knife, and a handsome and unusual edge, which turned out to be his --- Shang Jinming.
I immediately wondered why Yuan Jinming came back to visit me in the house. First, because I have no personal relationship with him, although the two parents are close friends, but since I have been under his command, he has been extremely strict with me, and I have been very respectful to him; Second, it is because Yuan Jinming's personality is very ruthless, he is the most ruthless of the younger generation in Beijing, and he has strong work ability, so he can be respected by the emperor.
