Chapter 36: Old Scenes and New Houses
Wei Shaoguang calmly walked into the house where she had only been away for two days.
"There is labor." She gave up to He Yongzhi.
"You're welcome." He Yongzhi followed behind her, politely and detachedly to Wei Shaoguang.
Walking all the way in, there was a servant in front of him to lead the way, and when he walked into the familiar flower hall, Wei Shaoguang looked around and said with appreciation, "Brother Jiang's vision is really good." ”
He Yongzhi, who walked in later, actually had a slight change in the expression on his face after hearing this, as if he was surprised, or it could be other expressions.
However, Wei Shaoguang didn't see it, and she didn't care.
Put the bamboo flute and the Peifeng sword on the table, shake the light and sit on the clothes, the posture looks gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and courteous, the young man has a gentlemanly demeanor, and the thoughts of a few little maids in the hall have been activated.
Wei Shaoguang sat on the chair, He Yongzhi waved his hand and whispered to the maids to bring tea.
From the angle of shaking the light, you can see the bright flowers of the begonia trees planted in the small garden outside, as well as a few green tender bamboos.
She straightened her sleeves slightly, and asked about the situation with a smile, "I don't know if there is a housekeeper in this house?" Can you let me see you in the next place? ”
She asked politely and calmly, He Yongzhi glanced at her, leaned over and saluted, "The villain is not talented, it is the housekeeper in the house, He Yongzhi." ”
He calls himself a villain, is it really the first time I've seen him?
Wei Shaoguang pouted with a friendly smile at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were bright and bright, he stretched out his hand to help him, and spoke politely, "Sure enough, Steward He has an extraordinary atmosphere, and Yan didn't guess wrong." ”
She laughed a few times, revealing a bit of liveliness and chic, "This year, it's really hard to be a housekeeper, Yan will definitely thank you again." ”
The sour rot of the scholar was shaken and used to deal with the housekeeper who was quite deep in the city, and he was secretly amused in his heart, and his face was pedantic and sincere.
He Yongzhi did not have any unnecessary changes, he saw a maid coming over with a teacup, but he stepped forward to take the tray and put the teacup firmly on the side of Wei Shaoguang's hand.
He held a tray, put the tray on his chest politely, and spoke politely and detachedly, "Young Master Yan, please drink tea first." ”
Shaking the light and nodding, he picked up the teacup and smelled it, scraped off the tea powder on it, took a sip, and the rich tea fragrance suddenly lingered in his mouth.
"Good tea!" A thumbs up.
He Yongzhi handed the tray to the servant behind him, he stood sideways on the right hand side of Shaoguang, and began to briefly report the events of the past year: "Yan Gongzi, all this is the responsibility of the villain, there is no need for Gongzi to thank him, and the villain is just a domestic servant, I can't afford your 'you', and please don't embarrass the villain anymore." ”
Wei Shaoguang put the tea cup in his hand back on the table, and said with a smile, "This is a mistake, don't worry about Steward He." ”
"Thank you for your understanding." He leaned over and saluted again.
Shaoguang felt that he couldn't bear this person's salute, and waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.
At this moment a servant walked in from outside, still holding something in his hand, glanced at it, and continued to drink tea as if he had not seen it.
He Yongzhi took those things and asked the servant to go down, he sorted out those things, and handed them forward with both hands, "Childe, this is the time when you haven't arrived, the letter from Jiang Gongzi to you, and the letter from your sister-in-law to you a few days ago, are here, you can take a look." ”
"Oh? Seventeen and Yulang left me a letter? Wei Shaoguang showed her surprise just right, and the expectant expression appeared on her face, she quickly took the pile of letters with both hands, held them in her hands, and looked at them carefully, but did not open them in front of him, but put them on the table very preciously.
I guess I'm going to have to wait until I get back to my room and take my time.
He Yongzhi looked at her and didn't speak, and when she put it away, he continued to speak, "It's getting late, the villain has already ordered someone to prepare dinner, son, let's eat first, your room is being cleaned up, and after you have dinner, the villain will take you to the room." ”
"Okay, I'm tired." Wei Shaoguang nodded.
When she turned around, she saw that the round table behind her had been set up a fairly sumptuous meal, and she smiled at He Yongzhi, "The child is very rich, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Childe doesn't have to say thank you, the villain and these servants are your subordinates, and these things should be done."
What a boring housekeeper.
Wei Shaoguang turned and walked to the round table.
Next year is not too old, but he speaks without leakage, which makes people want to pry his mouth open.
Sitting down, He Yongzhi brought her chopsticks, glanced at him, and said, "I'll just come by myself, Steward He will be busy with his own affairs first." ”
"Yes." He Yongzhi withdrew some people and walked out of the flower hall, it should be to clean up the room for her.
Shake Light speculated while eating.
There are not many rooms in this house, and the area is not large, although it has been designed as an exquisite garden, in addition to the flower hall in the front yard for meeting guests and dining, as well as the place where people live, it is a few courtyards in the backyard, He Yongzhi himself used a two-story courtyard, and outside the small courtyard where she lived last time, there will be other courtyards in this house, it depends on where He Yongzhi will arrange her.
Hook a smile, cold and lonely.
Wait and see, no rush.
He Yongzhi's speed was really not slow, and after Shaguang finished eating, he returned to the flower hall and took Shaguang to her room.
took a stack of letters, bamboo flutes and Peifeng swords, shook the light and followed He Yongzhi and slowly walked to the backyard.
Two housekeepers lit two lanterns in the front, and the faint light illuminated a small piece of heaven and earth.
Shaking the light and looking over, I saw the familiar scenery, the winding wooden corridor, the pond with no lotus leaves and no flowers, the round moon cave door, on which the word "secluded" was written, the flourishing wisteria roses were faintly in the night, and the path paved with fine pebbles was twisting and turning.
It's familiar here, but the difference is that this time it's going in a different direction.
Shaoguang walked to another path this time, planted on both sides of the banana tree, the huge banana leaves can touch the shoulder from time to time, continue to walk along the path, you will see a two-story building, white walls, dark tiles, ebony doors and windows, a huge and ancient osmanthus tree is planted in the courtyard, and a circle of green bamboo is planted outside the low courtyard wall of the courtyard, which just blocks most of the scenery inside.
The place where the winding path under Shaguang's feet ends is the gate of this small courtyard, which is a black solid wood door, with only two knockers on it, and above the door is the eaves, on which two bamboo lanterns are hanging, at this time emitting a swaying light, although faint, but it can also make Shaoguang see the words written on it.
Barge Garden.
This is the name of this small courtyard.
Seeing this, Shaoguang secretly wondered in his heart, why does this small courtyard have a name? Obviously, the rest of this house doesn't have a name.
He Yongzhi had already stepped forward and pushed open the wooden door, and the squeaky sound recalled Wei Shaoguang's thoughts, and she raised her eyes to look inside.
The open door gradually reveals the view inside.
A bluestone paved road leads straight to the front gate of the first floor of the small building, and in addition to the huge old osmanthus tree, there are also several small lilac trees planted in the yard, and there are small buds hanging on it now, and in front of a window, there is also a plantain tree.
A few lines of poetry came up at once, "The plantain does not show the clove knot, and the spring breeze is sad." "The geese are crying red leaves, people are drunk with yellow flowers, and the banana rain is in the autumn dream. ”
It's really a good artistic conception, not only "rain hitting plantains", but also "lilac knots".
Sure enough, it is much better than the yard where I lived before, and it seems that the owner has poetry and taste.
Shaking Light suddenly sparked a strong sense of curiosity about the designers behind the scenes, and he must meet them when he has the opportunity.
Walking in and walking along the mottled bluestone road to the front door, she took the initiative to reach out and push the door open, and the display inside slowly appeared in her eyes.
Simple, elegant, comfortable.
Shake the light and immediately turned out these adjectives in his mind.
She turned her head to look at He Yongzhi, the expression on the latter's face was still like that, not sad or happy, she walked in front of Shaoguang coldly, stretched out her hand to make a gesture of "please inside", and followed Shaoguang without saying a word.
After looking around, she found a chair to sit down, she put all the bamboo flute and wind sword and letter paper on the table, looked at the display in the room, and said to He Yongzhi with appreciation, "I'm tired, Steward He, I'm very satisfied with this small courtyard." ”
There was obvious liking and gratitude on her face, He Yongzhi glanced away and lowered his eyes, he shook back respectfully, "It's good if Childe likes it, I have already arranged for Childe to take care of Childe, she has taken care of Miss Yan before, I think I will know something about you in the future." ”
Birds.
Shaking the light and blinking, "Okay, Steward He arranged it." ”
"Take the villain and retire first, and tomorrow the villain will give you a detailed report on the situation in the house this year."
"Well, there is Lao."
He Yongzhi bowed down and left the small courtyard with the servant.
Wei Shaoguang stared at his back thoughtfully, knowing that he had completely walked out of this small courtyard, so Shaoguang withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look sideways at the pile of letters on the table.
Jiang Qiqi actually left her a letter? She was curious to see what she would write.
She thought slowly as she touched the edge of the envelope.
Putting down the envelope, she stood up and walked around the small building.
The first floor is used for living, the furnishings inside are simple and comfortable, and the second floor is a study room with a lot of books, and the most unexpected thing is that there is a tea stove in the corner.
Shaoguang walked over, touched the tea stove, looked at the surrounding tea leaves and tea utensils carefully, and suddenly an idea came out of his heart.
This, could it be Jiang Seventeen's order here.
Wei Shaoguang looked at the books in this room and the tea leaves around him, and gradually felt that this possibility was very high.
After all, he bought this house, and she has been hiding it in Qingxia Mountain for the past year, and no one else in this world will understand her preferences, except for Jiang Qiqi, she can't think of anyone who has the heart and ability to create such a house.
But this is ...... She owes him a lot of favors again, and she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but it seems unlikely.
"Huh." Shake your forehead and laugh lowly.
Should she continue to entangle with Jiang Seventeen? Wouldn't it be too bad to pull this boy into his own whirlpool? Is...... Alas!
Just when Wei Shaoguang secretly regretted and entangled, Que'er walked into the first floor of the small building with a basin of warm water and a towel.
She looked at the second floor and remembered what the housekeeper had warned her that she should never go up to the second floor without permission.
The little girl swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at the wooden stairs to the second floor in a panic, and thought to herself, Childe, hurry up and go downstairs.
When the finch was about to collapse, Wei Shaoguang's figure appeared on the stairs.
The young man in white clothes was clean and gentle, and the appearance of walking down the stairs step by step was so beautiful that it could easily become a girl's dream.
The finch was stunned.
Watching the young man walk down the stairs with a blank stare.
And Shaoguang was secretly amused, walked down the stairs step by step, walked up to the finch, and asked her gently, "Are you the finch?" ”
The little girl was still in a daze, shaking her hand in front of her eyes with a funny smile.
The finch finally woke up, her cheeks flushed, and she hurriedly took a few steps back and knelt down embarrassedly, stammering, "Gong, Gong, Gong, slave is wrong!" Please punish the childe. ”
Oh, it's still that timid and insincere little girl.
Wei Shaoguang maintained a gentle and harmless smile and spoke softly, "Don't be afraid, I won't punish you, get up first." ”
"Slave, slave and maid don't dare."
Looking at the top of the finch's hair, Wei Shaoguang secretly showed a snicker, there was no sound, she clenched her fists and coughed, and continued to speak, "Hurry up, don't kneel for me casually in the future, I don't like it." ”
"I heard that you took care of my sister for a few days before, presumably my sister should have told you, don't kneel for her at will, I am too, I don't like others to kneel for me at will!"
The finch kneeling on the ground shook in fear, and quickly got up from the ground, but still lowered its head and did not dare to look at it.
Wei Shaoguang didn't force her, she was a man now, and she couldn't get too close to a little girl, which would have a bad impact on the reputation of other little girls.
"Is the water coming?" Shake Light asked her.
"If you go back to Gongzi, the slave and maid have already brought warm water, please wash up." The finch replied respectfully.
When Wei Shaoguang heard this, he only hooked the corners of his lips and smiled slightly, and quickly returned to the gentle smile he should have, "It's tired, you go down first, I'll go wash, and you can come over and bring the water away later." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid stepped back first."
"Hmm."
The finch took a few steps back and walked out of the house quickly with small steps.
After shaking the light and looking at it a few times, he rolled up his sleeves, went to wash his face, wiped off the water droplets with a white towel, and then applied moisturizing cream to himself, untied the band, and scattered a black hair.
After doing this, Finch just walked in and took the basin of water, as if she had been waiting outside, pinching the point to come in.
Shake the light sighed and left her alone.
The room has been cleaned up by He Yongzhi, she picked up the letter on the table, as well as the bamboo flute and the Peifeng sword, walked around a screen to the bed, put the Peifeng sword and the bamboo flute next to the pillow, and then took off her coat, only wore her middle coat, lifted the quilt and sat on the bed, and began to read the letters one by one.
The night outside is as cold as water, and the spring breeze blows through the banana leaves with a slight chill, and it seems that a new spring rain is brewing.
