Chapter Twenty-Six: The Old Man I
Mrs. Tu is certainly not young, but she is extremely well maintained, she looks like she is only about forty, her complexion is fair, she is well-dressed, she wears a jasper bracelet on her hand, the color is as clear as a lake, and she smiled before she spoke: "This is the niece of the Ning family?" Come on, come over and let me see. Your father is also stingy, such a beautiful daughter hides at home, and she won't let her relatives and friends see her for many years. "I don't know if it's intentional or not, she is very enthusiastic about me, and she is just faint to Wu Zhen, but she is polite.
"Come, the third girl in my family, she has two older sisters, both married, and she is still by my side."
I already saw the girl in the scarlet shirt, with a melon seed face, very thin lips, and a bright red Kodan on her fingers, and came to greet me with a smile, she looked older than me, and before I could say a word about my sister, she called me first: "Hello aunt." β
I was stunned, and Mrs. Tu laughed out loud: "Niece, you don't go out often, well, the third girl is my granddaughter, and we are on the same level as your father, so she naturally calls you aunt." β
Soβwell, I'm not a little younger. However, this Tu San girl also seemed to ignore Wu Zhen, not to mention that she didn't call her aunt, and she didn't even call a witch girl. I took Wu Zhen's hand: "This is my sister Wu Zhen, who is also my father's disciple. β
Miss Tu's face did not change, and she said with a smile: "Miss Wuzhen." β
Wu Zhen also smiled and nodded, but the smile was a little reluctant.
Usually I think we are the same, but now it seems that it is better to say that she is an adopted daughter, a righteous daughter, maybe it is better to say that she is her father's apprentice, and to say that she is a righteous daughter, these people seem to regard Wu Zhen as a subordinate. said that they were apprentices, but they would be polite. This is the way of the world, outside of respecting the family and the world. Also respect the ability. It's better to have one of the two.
I squeezed Wu Zhen's hand, and she squeezed me back, indicating that she didn't care.
When we entered, there were already a few girls sitting in the hall, and it seemed that they had all come to pay their respects. Miss Tu introduced me one by one, I carefully looked at their movements and demeanor, but let me see that a fellow practitioner came, Miss Tu took her hand, and said affectionately: "This is Miss Xu." β
The woman was not good-looking, and when she looked at people, she didn't know why it made people feel unhappy, but there was no malice in her eyes. But there is no kindness at all, and in front of her you feel as if you are not a person, but a lifeless object.
She said in a flat voice: "Xu Guihong." β
It's not like the other girls in the house. There weren't so many politenesses to go straight, and I nodded and said, "My name is Wu Ning." β
Wu Zhen said two words: "Wu Zhen." β
The woman next to her was smiling, she looked extremely delicate, and her tone was soft, not waiting for Miss Tu to speak. First said: "My surname is Wei, and my single name is a Guan character." β
It's really strange, Wei Guan and Xu Guihong look like two completely different people, but the two of them are moving, sitting, lying and talking in one place, looking very intimate, it's really strange.
"Alright. You little girls naturally have something to say, don't be bored with my old woman. Go, refreshments were set in the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion. You go over there to play, it's cool over there, and the lotus flowers are blooming well. β
Miss Tu smiled and said, "Old lady, you said it nicely, saying that you were afraid that we would be bored, but in fact, you were too lazy to accompany us." Good. We'll go over there, and we'll pick all the lotus flowers for you when we come back." You won't have to look at it tomorrow. β
I'm in a trance, Guihong, Wei Guan...... It's the later Mrs. Guihong, and Wei Guan's mother, right? Both of them had a grudge against me, and Wei Guan's daughter became Qi Sheng's stepmother and beat a little girl to death. Madame Guihong's apprentice was ruthless, and I almost lost my life at her handsβ
Miss Tu smiled and led the way in front, no wonder Wu Zhen was surprised, this Tujiazhuang was indeed built extravagantly, a long corridor nine twists and turns, the water in the pool below is clear and visible, the lotus flowers have been in full bloom, the flowers are as big as a disc, the clear water and blue leaves and red flowers, lined with the corridor and railing pavilion pillars made of clean dolomite, Wu Zhen tugged at my sleeves, pointed to the railing carved with the delicate peony blossom pattern to show me.
Wrong...... Is this Tu Zhuang owner rich or powerful? Or is his swordsmanship the best in the world?
Since he doesn't occupy any of them, why does he own such a large courtyard? If he is really such an outstanding character, why does his father have a disapproving look in his eyes when he mentions him?
It's just such a lotus hall, I'm afraid the palace is nothing more than that! My father and I passed through the capital the year before last, and an old friend of his invited us to live at home.
Our expressions and demeanor made Miss Tu very proud, but she was also very calm, pointing to the table that had been set up: "One person, one seat, each choose the direction you like, I like the east side, there is a wind blowing, and the lotus fragrance is very strong." β
Wu Zhen and I sat by the water, a shallow pool of water, reflecting the sun, bright and dazzling. Wu Zhen took the cup, but what was poured out was not tea but wine.
Miss Tu hurriedly said, "This is my home-brewed fruit wine. There are many fruit trees in the mountains behind us, and the fruits are harvested every year, and they can't be eaten enough, so they dry the preserved fruits, make fruit wine, and invite my aunt to taste them. β
I sniffed it, and sure enough, it was a fruity scent.
Wu Zhen took a small sip and smiled slightly, but turned his head and whispered to me: "It's not as good as the green leaf wine brewed by my father-in-law." β
I couldn't help but want to laugh and hide my past by bowing my head and drinking.
Xu Guihong pushed the cup: "I don't drink." β
Her tone was **, Miss Tu was stunned, and Wei Guan hurriedly said: "Sister Xu has not been able to drink since she was a child, so let's change the tea." β
Wu Zhen followed: "I also change the tea - if there is no tea, white water will also do." β
Miss Tu had no choice but to say, "Tea is naturally available." β
I heard voices from afar, but I couldn't tell where the sound was coming from. Miss Tu drank half a glass of wine, squinted and leaned on the rosin pillow.
Wei Guan asked softly: "Sister Tu, there is obviously no one here, but I seem to hear someone talking?" β
Miss Tu smiled and said, "Why is there no one?" Yes, my cousin must have summoned a lot of young people today, and they are above us, I don't know if they are on the third or fourth floor. β
Another girl asked, "I didn't see a staircase, but where did they go up there?" β
"We came from the front, but they went around from behind, and there is no ladder in the Lotus Pavilion. This time on the old lady's birthday, it's just that the old friends and close relatives who don't often move around take the opportunity to get together, such as our sisters, who have never met before, this time it can be regarded as meeting. My cousin is a very hospitable person, and I was very happy to see many of my peers this time, which is why the voice above is so loud, and it is all heard. β
Wei Guan looked up from the railing, but he quickly retracted his head, rubbed his eyes and said, "The ash on the lantern is in the eyes." β
Miss Tu suddenly sat up straight: "Hey, listen." β
I listened intently, and the sound of a flute was melodious and clear, ethereal, like the soft light floating on the water, which made people suddenly wonder what the world was.
I could listen attentively, and when the sound of the flute blew to the low back of the throat, somehow, I suddenly felt an irrepressible sadness and sourness coming up from the bottom of my heart. A gust of wind blew the surface of the lake slightly, with shallow ripples, the lotus leaves swayed lightly, and the lotus fragrance came with the wind, there was for a while, and there was no for a while. I was so stunned that I didn't know when the flute would stop.
Miss Tu came back to her senses first: "It's really a good flute, I haven't heard it before, and I don't know which distinguished guest played it." The others also praised it, and Miss Tu called a little maid to tell her: "You go up and ask, is my fourth brother on it?" Please come down and see the person who played the flute just now. β
Everyone else lost the interest in laughing, eating and drinking, and waited with all their hearts. Sure enough, after a while, the little maid came back: "The second young master and Wen Gongzi are here." β
Someone Lang Lang smiled and said, "Third sister, when did you come?" I didn't know. β
"You don't want to know." Miss Tu greeted her with a smile, the second young master of the Tu family was slender, and his face could be called handsome, but his eyes were a little too flexible, but in a blink of an eye, the people in the hall seemed to have seen it all.
The man beside him was dressed in a half-new light blue shirt, the color of which was like a clear sky with a faint cloud. There is no redundancy on the body, and a bamboo flute is pinned to the waist. He shook his head calmly, just smiled and didn't speak.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
