Chapter 37: Reporting and Naming
Jiang Seventeen had three letters, the first one was after the house was bought, and he wanted to ask how to deal with it; The second letter is that after all the construction in the house is completed, he writes to tell her if he will like it and when he will come back; The third letter was sent not long ago, and he wrote to her to ask her if she could reach Huairou City as promised for the Qingming Festival.
That's all, shake the light and read it word by word.
There are not many words on the letter, few words, but looking at these elegant words, Shaoguang will feel some warmth in his heart.
This friend didn't know each other in vain.
I don't thank you for my kindness, and I will definitely help if I can help in the future.
Shake the light and put away the stationery.
In the end, she opened the letter she had written to herself, read it from beginning to end, and adjusted what she was going to do after that.
The words on the letter are Juanjuan Xiaokai, the font is weak and beautiful, and it looks like it is from the girl's hand, but she can't write like this in the future.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to thank her for always punishing her for copying books when she was a child, not only practicing her left and right hands to write different characters at the same time, but also practicing many kinds of fonts.
This is an unexpected talent.
Hahahaha, shake the light and laugh.
She laughed a few times, got up and put the letter away in the envelope, and prepared to take it out when she told He Yongzhi to do things tomorrow.
When I got up, I saw the banana leaves outside the window, and when I shook the light, I put the letter on the small table, put on my shoes and put on my coat and walked to the window, and pushed the open window completely open, and the ebony window sash hit the banana tree outside, and the huge branches and leaves swayed, making a rustling sound, and I looked at it a few times, and whispered, "I'm sorry." Then look up at the night sky.
There are no stars and no moon in the night sky, the weather is gloomy, it seems that it is going to rain again, stretch out your hand to feel the humidity and coolness in the air, when the cool breeze blows through the palm of your hand, the light shakes and feels the determination to move forward, and you can't turn back.
She thought, it should be interesting to live a life like this.
Withdraw your hand, close the window, turn off the light, and undress and go to sleep.
Hugging the soft quilt, he shook the light and sank himself into it, revealing a comfortable smile.
I hope I can have a dreamless night, stop dreaming, I'm really tired.
She said to the empty night sky.
However, if the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes, there will still be iron horses and glaciers falling asleep this night.
When the first drop of spring rain fell on the banana leaves in the morning, she woke up from her dream in a cold sweat, her eyes were blank, and it took a while to focus, she pulled her arm from the thin quilt, raised her hand to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, tilted her head slightly, and saw the gray sky outside through the carved window.
It's raining.
She thought.
The rain gradually became heavier, and it hit the plantain leaves intensively, making a ticking sound, which was very beautiful.
It turns out that the sound of rain hitting the plantain is like this.
Shake the light lay on the bed, put one hand on his forehead, and quietly listened to the sound of the rain.
It's still early, it's about six o'clock in the morning, and there are not many people up at this point, so let's lie down and stay stunned for a while.
Wei Shaoguang lay like this, gradually fell asleep again, and was pulled into a hurried dream, which was a space that kept spinning, the colors flew back and forth quickly in front of her eyes, and she could see the cold light of the sword, but she couldn't see the human face clearly, and the desperate and depressed breath pressed on her heart, and she was about to suffocate.
She opened her eyes all at once, got rid of the nightmare, and took a big gulp of fresh air.
When she finally felt that she was alive, she sat up from the bed, held her head in her hands, sighed lowly, brushed her loose hair behind her ears, and glanced at the sky outside the window, it was still not very bright, but she didn't want to sleep anymore, tired.
Lifting the quilt and putting on clothes and shoes, the first thing is to open the window, she can't stand it, there is no light and no wind in the room, like a drowning fish, shaking the light and feeling uncomfortable.
Lying on the window lattice, pulling down the banana leaves, shaking the light through the leaves to see the scenery in the small courtyard.
I didn't see it clearly last night, but in the morning I found out that there was actually a man-made stream in this small courtyard, which flowed through her window and out of the courtyard in a zigzag manner. On both sides of the creek are sparse lilac trees, and lilacs of various colors are budding and hanging on the branches, one by one with buds waiting to be released.
Shaking the light looked out with the stream, it turned out that the wall of the small courtyard built a small moon cave door in the stream, and the best thing is that there is also a fan-shaped wooden plaque on it, with the name written on it, saying "go to the disaster place".
It's really interesting to shake the light, is this all feng shui? The people who built the garden really thought about it.
There is a circle of bamboos outside the small courtyard, and the tall bamboos stand proudly in the wind and rain, but there is a wind and bones.
Just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, she caught a glimpse of the finch coming out of the back of the stairs with an umbrella, and she was walking quickly towards this side with a wooden box in her hand.
Shaoguang thought of another question, is there a backyard in this small courtyard?
On the other side, the finch had already put away the umbrella and pushed the door into the house.
"Childe? Childe, are you up? The little girl stood on the outermost side and did not dare to come in, nor did she dare to speak loudly, but shouted softly and carefully.
Shaking Light turned and leaned against the windowsill, shouting outside, "Come in, I'm already up." ”
"Yes." The little girl walked in from the outside with a wooden box, and when she bypassed the screen, she saw the shaking light standing at the window, which startled the little girl, and hurriedly said, "The spring rain is wet and cold, and please pay attention to your body." ”
"It doesn't matter." Shaking Light stood at the window without moving, the breeze blew a strand of her hair to cover her eyes, she raised her hand to smooth the hair behind her, and asked Finch curiously, "Did Finch bring anything?" ”
Que'er hurriedly opened the wooden box and took out the clothes from it, "If you go back to Gongzi, it is a set of clothes, which Jiang Gongzi ordered to be prepared for you." ”
Jiang Seventeen?
Shake the light walked over, took the neat stack of clothes, looked at it, and asked the finch, "Seventeen commanded?" When did he command it? ”
"Jiang Gongzi only came to the house once a year, and at that time he ordered the slaves and maids to prepare their clothes, and when you arrived, there would be a change of clothes." Que'er told Wei Shaoguang one by one.
And Wei Shaoguang smiled after listening to the words, and said in a clear voice, "I see, but Lao Seventeen bothered." ”
"Not only that, this small courtyard is also specially arranged by Jiang Gongzi for you to live, and all the displays in it are arranged by Jiang Gongzi." Finch continued.
Wei Shaoguang turned her head to look at Que'er, she smiled and said, "Que'er, do you know anything else?" ”
Que'er thought for a while and said, "If you want to be a childe, the slave maid was only bought into the house a few years ago, and she only came a few days earlier than Jiang Gongzi, and the slave and maid don't know much, so please forgive the son." Que'er said while thinking, and finally she seemed to think of something and added, "The girls and servants in this mansion were bought only a few years ago, and it seems that only Steward He was in the house before this, and if the son has any questions, you might as well ask Steward He." ”
Wei Shaoguang pinched his fingers and said, "Okay, I see." ”
Then she looked at the clothes in her hand, and said to the finch, "I can change this dress myself, and you can go and prepare water for me to wash." ”
"Yes." The finch curtsied and was ready to go out, shaking the light and emphasizing it to her again, "In the future, when you enter my house, especially here, you must ask me first, and don't wait for me to take a bath and change clothes, understand?" ”
In the face of Wei Shaoguang's serious reminder, Que'er bowed her head in fear and replied "yes", and walked out of the house tremblingly.
Wei Shaoguang in the room unfolded his clothes and stared at it, thinking a lot of thoughts in his heart for a while.
This is a dark wide cedar robe, the cuffs and collar are embroidered with delicate red bamboo branches, shaking the light with his fingers to pick the sleeves, looking at the bamboo branches on it, with a smile on his face.
Sure enough, this is something that Jiang Seventeen did.
This dress is almost the same as the one she often wears in Qingxia Mountain, except that the narrow sleeves have been changed to the current wide sleeves, and it has become a fashionable son's regular clothes.
It always makes people feel warm in the softest part of their hearts.
Shaoguang thought to himself, if Jiang Seventeen was an enemy, he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with.
Careful and cautious, the whole thing is a smiling tiger.
Shaguang faded off the clothes on his body, slowly put on this dark shirt, tied his belt, Shaguang took out a hairband sent from the wooden box, tied up his hair, and the red tassel hung down at the back, fluttering with walking, lining out a bit of youthful heroism.
Obviously, Wei Shaoguang is more suitable for wearing dark clothes, which can effectively help her cover a little bit of a woman's slenderness.
After tidying up his clothes, Wei Shaoguang walked around the screen with a step, and when he arrived outside, Que'er was walking towards the house with two little girls.
The three of them walked slowly into the house, one of them putting the copper basin away, and the other carrying a tray with towels and salt for gargling.
The finch saluted the light and asked her to come and wash.
Wei Shaoguang nodded, walked over and carefully washed his face, wiped off the water droplets with a towel, and let them all go down.
"Que'er, you go to find Steward He, and say that I will wait for him in the flower hall later." Shaoguang told Qi'er to find He Yongzhi, and after speaking, she walked back to the room.
The finch behind him curtsied and saluted, "Yes." ”
The little girls left the room quickly with their things, shook them and left them alone, went back inside, found the moisturizer and applied it to themselves, and when they applied it, they felt the disfiguring medicine on their faces, their fingers paused slightly, and then carefully continued to apply.
This fake face is changed every half a month, and the medicine on it can prevent rain, but if you fall into the river, it will slowly fade.
Close the lid, shake the light and put the box back, and stand there looking at yourself in the bronze mirror.
After a while, he sighed, went to the small table to get the letter, turned around and left the small courtyard, and prepared to go to the flower hall for breakfast.
Walking out of the door into the courtyard, Shaoguang stopped on the path paved with bluestone slabs, and looked down at the stream under his feet.
The stream passed through the path, flowed out of the courtyard, and when I looked east, I saw the source of the stream, and a small moon cave gate was built under the wall, and the words on it were "Blessing place".
The babbling stream flowed happily to the west, flowing out of the small courtyard, and Wei Shaoguang held the umbrella and watched quietly for a while before continuing to walk forward.
The scenery along the way is beautiful and diverse, when passing by the wisteria flower stand, Shaoguang squatted down to pick up a pink begonia flower, took it in her hand and slowly walked into the flower hall, she found an empty vase, and inserted the begonia branch into the vase.
Breakfast was already on the round table, and I sat down to eat slowly.
While she was drinking the tea after the meal, He Yongzhi went to the flower hall.
He was followed by two servants, both with trays and books on them.
He Yongzhi walked in, waved his hand and realized that the servant put the booklet on the table, and he bowed, "Childe, the villain is late,"
"It doesn't matter." Shake the light put down the teacup in his hand and spoke with a smile.
"The villain has already registered the situation and expenditure income of the house for a year, so let's take a look at it first." He Yongzhi stood in front of her, waiting for Shaguang to flip through the booklet.
Wei Shaoguang turned his head and glanced at the pile of booklets, but instead of flipping through them, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to He Yongzhi, "Yongzhi?" That's what my sister calls you, right? Yes, you look at this letter first. ”
He Yongzhi took it with both hands, unfolded the letter and read it quickly.
Wei Shaoguang sat and watched him read the letter, rubbing his fingers on the edge of the table, and when He Yongzhi finished reading the letter, she changed her posture, tapped her fingers on the tabletop, and spoke to him with a warm smile on her face, "Yongzhi, I will call you that in the future, don't you mind?" ”
"It's good if Childe likes it." He Yongzhi replied.
"Well, Yongzhi, what do you think of the proposal in the letter?" Wei Shaoguang asked him.
He Yongzhi thought for a while, and then replied Shaoguang, "The villain thinks Miss Yan's proposal is very good. ”
"Oh? I also think it's good, so it's decided, Yongzhi will ask someone to make a plaque today. Wei Shaoguang was in a good mood and made a decision.
He Yongzhi has no objection to this, and this matter should be decided.
Wei Shaoguang picked up the booklet on the table at this time, opened it and read it.
She read it quickly, finished reading the booklet in a while, put down the last booklet, shook it and rubbed the back of her neck, and said to He Yongzhi, who was still standing on the side, "Can Yongzhi accompany me out to visit this house?" ”
He Yongzhi raised his eyes and looked at Wei Shaoguang, then quickly removed his eyes, lowered his gaze and agreed to Shaoguang's proposal, "As long as the son thinks, the villain will agree." ”
"That's really a lot of work." Wei Shaoguang stood up, "Then let's go, it's not bad to go out for a walk on a rainy day." ”
She refused the maid who wanted to hold an umbrella for her, and walked out of the flower hall with the umbrella herself.
The spring rain outside is still dripping, shaking the light standing under the porch to look at the flowers and plants in the garden, the nose can smell some woody fragrance, elegant and fresh.
She smiled, walked out of the wind and rain corridor, and walked casually in the puddle.
"Yongzhi, you tell me about this house, it's better to hear than to see, I just saw it, I'm still not familiar with here, I'm going to trouble Yongzhi to talk about it." Wei Shaoguang smiled and spoke to He Yongzhi.
Mr. Butler is actually very young, has a good kung fu, and has a restrained atmosphere, and at first glance he is Jiang Seventeen's person, and he always feels that he is hiding it well.
Is......
Wei Shaoguang shook his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth were fleeting, mocking smiles.
"Yes, if Childe doesn't dislike it, the villain will tell you about it." He Yongzhi is still like that, with an expression that is not sad or happy, and there is no emotional voice.
It seems to be the most humble and respectful servant, but in fact it is definitely not like this.
Shaking the light and nodded, "Yongzhi boldly said it." ”
