Chapter 9 Puyuan
"That girl is taken by my son-in-law."
This sentence was like a thunderclap above Ziqing's head, which shook his feet and made him feel like he was buzzing in his ears.
How so? What did they say in the carriage that day? Could it be that Ah Ying already knew his identity at that time?
Why did Ah Ying go with him? Has she changed her mind?
Li Yangjun caught up, grabbed him and asked anxiously: "Yu Gongzi, Yu Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Ziqing was in a trance, as if she couldn't hear her voice at all, and her mind was full of He Louqi's sentence "That girl was taken by my son-in-law", as if she was stepping on cotton, she shook three times and left in despair.
He Louqi looked at his back and thought to himself, Shang Shuling was too ruthless to attack this young man. I'm afraid I won't get sick.
Yuwentai led Ran Ying all the way to a small village with an inconspicuous lintel. Yuwentai got off the horse, looked at Ran Ying, put his hands behind his back and walked straight to Zhuangzi.
Ran Ying hesitated for a moment, then followed.
When I went in, I found that the door was not very eye-catching, but the grass and trees inside were lush and green, and the courtyard paths along the way were on both sides
Planted with Xifu begonias, the spring of March is the time when the begonias are in full bloom, the white flushed flowers bloom in clusters on the branches, along the way with the unique fragrance of Xifu begonias.
The pavilions, pavilions, ponds and flowing water hidden in the flowers and trees are all tactful and exquisite, which is extraordinarily interesting. In the corner of the pavilion, there are surging vines, densely stretched with green leaves, and unknown flowers in full bloom. The whole garden seems to be a courtyard for a rich family, with lush flowers and plants, quiet and leisurely.
Yu Wentai turned around half as he walked, and said to Ran Ying: "This Puyuan is stacked with stones and sparse springs, and the small bridges and flowing water are all built in accordance with the style of Jiangnan gardens, but there is a unique elegance?" ”
Ran Ying didn't have the intention of enjoying the scenery at all, and when she heard him ask, she said in a muffled voice: "I don't understand this." ”
Yu Wentai smiled: "You haven't been to Jiangnan Gusu, have you?" I heard that the river bridges there are scattered, and every family sleeps in the water. If you have free time in the future, I'll take you to see it. ”
Ran Ying was stunned for a moment. Why did he think of taking her to Jiangnan Gusu with him? It's really not a good habit to make casual promises.
A few little maids came in front of them, as if they were having fun, chasing each other with a smile, and when they saw Yuwentai coming in, they were all shocked, and they hurriedly held their breath, lowered their heads and saluted: "Lang Jun (1)." ”
The one who was the leader was bold and asked, "Why is Lang Jun here today?" ”
Yu Wentai smiled slightly: "I brought a guest." You go and prepare. ”
The eyes of several maids fell on Ran Ying behind him, and they were secretly strange in their hearts. The owner of this garden has never brought anyone to it. The young man looked at Sven and was restrained, why would the master bring him?
Seeing that Yuwentai led Ran Ying to the garden, several maids gathered together and whispered. Just as He Louqi came in, they hurriedly grabbed He Louqi and asked, "Who did Lang Jun bring?" looks so white and delicate. ”
He Louqi said lazily: "That's a woman." ”
Several maids opened their mouths wide, with an incredible expression: "Lang Jun actually brought a woman to Puyuan?" ”
This is something that has never happened before.
The maid at the head had the courage to ask again: "Is it the woman that Lang Jun likes?" Want to spend the night here? ”
He Louqi smiled: "You guys hurry up." He made a rare trip to ask what these were doing! ”
A little maid who looked quite young and wore a double snail bun covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Lang Jun seems to be in a very good mood today. I used to keep a straight face and didn't say a word every time I came here, but today he actually smiled at us. ”
"yes, yes." The other maid also blushed with joy, "Lang Jun looks so good when he laughs." I feel like I'm being dazzled! As he spoke, he was so shy that he covered his face with his hands.
The other maids couldn't help but push her and teased: "You have secretly been happy with Langjun for so long, just go and tell him." ”
Another bold maid asked He Louqi: "If Ah Shu goes to talk to Lang Jun, will Lang Jun look at her twice?" ”
He Louqi saw that the more they talked, the more outrageous it became, and Zhengse said: "You should take good care of this Zhuangzi." When you reach the age, Gongzi will naturally arrange for you to marry a suitable family. It's just that this kind of joke must not be made again, he doesn't like it. ”
The little maids were immediately silenced, stuck out their tongues, lowered their heads and scattered to do their own things.
He Louqi looked back at the petite and pretty backs, and thought, really, he has a little good face, and they are all so happy that they forget their shapes!
Yuwentai led Ran Ying all the way to the garden behind the study. There is an artificial lake, the lake is planted with begonias and pomegranates, and various shrubs such as hibiscus moon, and a rockery stands on the lake, and there is a small pavilion on the top of the rockery.
Yuwentai led Ran Ying up the stairs to the pavilion of the rockery. As far as the eye can see, the surface of the lake is sparkling and shining. The warm spring breeze blows, mixed with the aroma of various blooming flowers, which is very pleasant.
In the middle of the small pavilion was a chessboard on the table. Yu Wentai sat down on the side, opened the chess box, and said, "Come and play two games with Gu." ”
Two maids brought clean towels and boiled tea, placed them lightly on the small table on the shore, and lightly lit incense in the corner of the pavilion. After that, he stood behind Yuwentai on the left and right, waiting for Yuwentai to give orders at any time.
Ran Ying's chess skills were not bad, but today's mind was chaotic, full of strange thoughts, so there were frequent loopholes, and she was unable to parry Yuwentai's offensive.
And Yuwentai didn't let it go at all because the opponent was a woman, every drop was carefully laid out and ruthless, with a posture of wanting to kill her.
Ran Ying saw that he was killed by his fierce attack, and the sunspots were wiped out one by one, and finally threw the chess pieces in his hand in frustration, puffed out his cheeks and said, "No more." It's not you. He sniffed twice and pouted, "It's all this smell that makes me dizzy!" ”
Yuwentai smiled: "Extinguish the incense burner." ”
A maid hurriedly walked to the corner of the pavilion to extinguish the incense.
Yuwentai saw her staring at the scattered chessboard with her head down, she smiled gently, and held a chess piece between her two slender fingers, lightly touched her forehead, and said, "You have a distraction, what kind of incense burner are you to blame?" ”
Ran Ying pouted, bowed her head and said nothing. I thought about how this person was like this, and he said that he would take her to relax, but he brought her here to practice. He was happy, but she was even more unhappy now!
Yu Wentai dropped the chess pieces in his hand, leaned on the soft couch behind him and looked at her, and said slowly: "Ran, I told you that day, compared to those children of the family, you have a better choice-have you ever considered it seriously?" ”
Ran Ying's heart turned, and she looked up at him stunned: "No." "He put on that kind of condescending posture, and she is not unusual.
Yu Wentai was stunned for a moment, and faintly felt liver pain. He dared to refuse him so calmly. Immediately, he laughed deeply, and said, "Then think about it now in front of Lone." ”
Ran Ying got up and walked to the pavilion and looked up at the bright sky.
Yuwentai silently looked at her back, waiting for her to make a move.
After a while, Ran Ying turned around and said, "Childe, look, the eagle in the sky soars thousands of miles and crosses the four seas; Look at the fish in the pond, swimming and playing, free. But how can a fish fly to the sky and be accompanied by an eagle? ”
Childe, we don't conspire with each other in different ways, we are not all the way, and we don't take the same road.
There was silence all around. The two maids in the pavilion glanced at each other, and their hearts lifted. Lang Jun has always been unsmiling, and he has rarely been in a good mood recently, why is this little girl so eyeless that she has to provoke him to lose her temper?
Are these powerful people easy to refuse?
Yuwentai suddenly laughed, and the genuinely happy laughter surprised the two maids behind him. Childe is really in a good mood today, and he is not angry when he is rejected in person like this.
They don't know that it is the most stupid to bare their teeth on prey that has not yet pounced under their claws.
I saw Yu Wentai slowly pacing in front of Ran Ying, bending down, sticking to Ran Ying's ear, and whispering: "That eagle, occasionally I want to catch a fish to taste." ”
Ran Ying's face darkened. She said companionship, but he said hunting.
Did he take her as a prey?
She took a step back, distanced herself from him again, still with her big innocent eyes, and asked, "Lang Jun is not talking about an eagle, it's an osprey, right?" ”
The difference between one word and the difference is thousands of miles.
Yu Wentai was stunned again, and his liver hurt a little. This little guy is so fat! It's so fat!
Seeing that he looked like he was about to have a seizure but didn't know where to start, Ran Ying pursed her mouth and turned her face to the side: "It's getting late, I'm going back to the academy." ”
Seeing that she wanted to retreat from the victory, Yuwentai smiled slightly. He slowly took a few steps back, looked at her with a smile on the corner of his lips, and commanded calmly: "Send Xiao Langjun back." ”
The two maids looked at each other again. Lang Jun knew that she was a woman, but he still called her Xiao Langjun, which meant that they wanted to keep it a secret. A maid walked up and said to Ran Ying, "Lang Jun, please come with me." ”
Seeing Ran Ying follow the maid down the steps, Yuwentai called her: "Ah Ying......"
Ran Ying turned her head.
The afternoon sun shone golden, obliquely shining on Ran Ying's body and face. Her white shirt was dyed gold. She has beautiful eyebrows, handsome under men's clothes, and her eyes looking at him are quiet with a hint of doubt. Both sides of the path down the rockery are full of bright red moon seasons, and among the red flowers and green leaves, the men and girls dressed in white are extraordinary, poetic and picturesque.
He also felt that this picture was pleasing to the eye, looked at her silently for a moment, and asked, "Do you like this garden?" ”
Ran Ying nodded: "I like it." ”
A smile rose to the corner of Yuwentai's mouth, and he said, "You can come at any time." ”
