Chapter 2 But the man was in the lamplight

Night has fallen, the front hall for tomorrow's music playing, at this moment is also playing high and low, music, through the window cracks into the ears eloquently, although it is a festive and cheerful tune, but at this moment is in the mood of Wanying, can not help but rejoice.

At that moment, Mrs. Gao showed her skills in the Cherishing Pavilion, at this moment it was the spring breeze proudly, her steps were joyful, and even the wrinkles on her face were much more vertical and horizontal than usual, and she said to the people next to her with a high spirit, "Aunt Lin is very good, no matter how partial the master is to cherish the Treasure Pavilion, as long as the wife coughs, the Cherish the Pavilion will still be cold." ”

The person next to him hurriedly answered and flattered, "No matter which way the wind blows in this house, it is nothing more than blowing our housekeeper to go up, as the so-called 'good wind relies on its strength to send you to the clouds'." No yard can be separated from the two of you, and Mrs. now relies on the two brothers in a row, and a girl can still get past Mrs. Can't go, she doesn't dare to think about it. ”

Aunt Gao became even more proud when she heard this, and she had long forgotten Mrs. Fangcai's instructions, "Everyone has been tired these days, presumably the distinguished guests in Prince Rong's mansion will not break into our inner courtyard, we have also checked around, and there is no foreign man who has entered by mistake, you go to the kitchen to get a few side dishes, and I will go outside to reply." ”

Everyone immediately understood, and a mother-in-law said: "Today there are distinguished guests outside, you take some good wine back by the way, good dishes need to be accompanied by good wine, I will go to tell my man to let him fry a few of your favorite dishes, you just wait to be used." ”

Aunt Gao was even more happy, and went out with a spring face.

The Treasure Pavilion is still warm. Wanying combed her long, half-dry and half-wet hair with her hands, and on her shallot-like fingers, the inch-long nails contained the characteristic crimson of nail grass dyed. This crimson is a characteristic red after dyeing it three times.

"Hongfu, bring the candlestick, and continue a few pieces of jasmine incense in the incense burner, I smell it very well, and bring the book of "All Song Ci" on the case." Wanying said with her eyes closed.

"Miss, what about the gods who have to work for a day tomorrow, work hard now, be careful about the dark circles under your eyes tomorrow, and frighten those women." Hongfu persuaded.

"Just take it, I have my own plans in my heart."

"Miss is wet and can't sleep, why don't you give a few walnuts to Miss Hongfu."

"I'm still tired of dinner, go get the book."

Hongfu can't just take it.

"I read a good poem yesterday, which corresponds to today's scene, although the season is a little wrong, but it can also be compared."

"Miss, read it and listen to it." This year, under Wanying's teaching, Lu Rong gradually began to like poetry and books.

"Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind. More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. Wanying only read this Shangyun "Qingyu Case", and hid it, hiding some things in it.

"Miss, let me interpret this poem, do you think you understand it correctly?" Hongfu was still playing a fan, and Lu Rong said thoughtfully.

"Well, come on, I'll listen."

"Let's start with the east wind and a thousand trees blooming at night. More blows down, stars like rain. It's spring, and it's night, right? Miss? ”

He took a sip of the teacup, smiled, and nodded.

"On a spring evening, flowers fly all over the city, flying like meteors, sitting in a carriage, the fragrance of flowers wafts everywhere, flute players, jugglers, and dragon dancers all show their abilities, so lively. Am I right, miss? Lu Rong looked at the young lady expectantly.

"Yes, yes, but it was originally sweet, but now it tastes like chewing wax. Although the meaning is missed, it is also unsatisfactory. Lu Rong can realize this, not bad. Although Lu Rong's explanation is only literal, it expresses the essence of the hilariousness. It's also good.

"Thank you, miss." Lu Rong smiled like a child.

Hongfu looked disapplieving.

Get up, push open the window, sure enough, the lights are brilliant, so lively, the house is full of lights, singing and dancing, and the cool wind comes with the sound of silk and bamboo. Such a beautiful scene cannot be disappointed.

"Hongfu, change into clothes and walk downstairs with me." Wanying rises.

"Miss, don't do it today, not to mention that Miss has just finished bathing, and then go out to sweat, not to mention, there are many people in the house today and chaotic, and it is not known which one of the eyeless people outside can break into us, it is always bad to meet, three, didn't the mother-in-law just pass on the words of the wife, so that the ladies have to rest early tonight, what do you say?" Hongfu blocked again and again.

"Disappointing, I only said this, seeing that you have made this large theoretical article, forget it, you are not allowed to follow, I will go out for a walk by myself." The young lady took off the thin shirt she wore in the house and put it on the hanger, and on the other hand, she put on a homely blue moire shirt and loosely tied a fallen horse bun.

Seeing that the young lady insisted on going out, the two of them came over to tidy up their dresses.

Before going downstairs, Hongfu caught up and handed over a lantern: "Miss, it's good to carry a lantern to watch the road, what if you fall." ”

"Silly girl, how many lanterns are lit outside today, I want you to do this. Go back quickly, Hugh will follow. Pretending to be angry, Hongfu saw that the young lady was annoyed, so she stopped making a sound.

Mrs. and several other aunts together, chanted the peace scripture for the teacher, Wanying easily walked out of the Treasure Pavilion, along the corridor of the West Chamber, through the shadow wall door, and along the corner of the courtyard all the way to the West Garden of the house. Along the way, the lights are bright, bright as day, the outer wall of the Treasure Pavilion is hung with a long string of small red lanterns, in the garden, begonias, apricot trees, peach trees, each tree is large or small, more or less tied with all kinds of lanterns.

Look closer, the peach tree is hung with the elliptical longevity word blessing lamp, the apricot tree is hung with the blessing word downlight, the begonia tree is the knot spike palace lamp, the small lanterns on the various flowers are numerous, the most interesting is the lotus water lantern floating on the pond, pink, shaking and swaying is very good-looking.

There happened to be a krathong not far from the shore, Wan Ying stretched out her arm slightly and took it in her hand, got up and looked at the delicate thing in her hand, secretly admired the craftsman who made it is really ingenious, thin petals, layer by layer, lifelike, as real, there is a copper cake in the center of the flower, and a small wax bowl is nailed to it, so cute. With the light of this candle, the lotus lamp has an aura, and the dark pool seems to come to life. In this situation, I can't help but think of the song "Qingyu Case" just now, the first half of the que has just been read, and the second half of the que, hidden in the heart, there is no one at the moment, and I don't feel that it is groaning:

"Moth, snow willow, golden wisps. The laughter is full of dark fragrance. The crowd is looking for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful, secondary, wonderful, but the first half of the que is more appropriate?" Suddenly, a loud male voice came from behind, so startled that Wanying didn't dare to turn around, holding the water lantern in her hand, standing in place.

"Who are you? How could it be here? Wanying didn't know what to do in a panic, and still turned her back to the person behind her.

"Below is the first-class guard in Prince Rong's mansion, the birthday of Lord Yin of the Mansion tomorrow, and today he will come to the mansion on behalf of the prince to congratulate his birthday.

"Then why are you here?"

"Lord Yin of Shicai Mansion drank a few more cups, I helped the adult to the outer door of the inner hall, and the grandmother who watched the door took over the adult, I didn't keep up with the accompanying people because of private matters, so I tossed and turned here, I didn't want to surprise the girl."

"Oh, that's right, then you now go right along the road of this pool, and then go forward, you can see an octagonal pavilion, the pavilion leads to four roads in the east, west, north and south, remember that the east eaves are painted under the chrysanthemum map, the west is the peony map, the west in and out of the east, along this road must cross a stone bridge, after the stone bridge, not a dozen steps is the west wing of the main hall, you and walk along the west wing of the west wing wall, you can go to the corridor of the second door, along the corridor to the left, is the outer door of the inner hall. When you get there, you just ask the janitors to take you out. ”

"The girl must be a person from the house, dare to ask the girl's name, and you can know who Xie is in the future?" I just heard that the person had no intention of walking away behind him, Wanying was very cramped, and for a while she turned her back to him, facing the pool, and she didn't know what to do.

"The official doesn't have to be polite, it's just a gesture, don't worry about it."

"The girl talks and behaves, and the clothes and accessories don't look like a maid, but there are five young ladies in your mansion, how far is the young lady?"

"It's important for the official to find a way, and those who walk carefully will wait for a long time." Wanying was entangled by the opposite sex for the first time in her life, and she was a little annoyed in her heart, but she still said politely.

"Miss, it's inconvenient to inform, here is the first-class guard of Prince Rong's Mansion - He You'an, if you work effectively in the future, you will definitely do your best to thank you for your help today." After hearing the words, it seemed that he was turning around to leave, but Wanying still didn't move, and he could turn around when he walked away, who expected, listening to the footsteps that were getting farther away, it was closer.

"Miss just chanted Xin Gong's words, when I read the next book, I read this poem and felt a little touched, and I also filled in a random poem, listening to Miss Fangcai's poem, I know that the poetry book must be through, I hope Miss Yazheng." And he really sang the praises.

"Ruthlessness is the most important way of life. Although the tears fell, the intention did not fall. Fearless, the road ahead is difficult. The world is the hardest, the wind and snow are in the morning and twilight, and the head goes forward.

The clouds are dark, the sky is low, the thunder is unmeasured, and the road of the young man is bumpy. If you ask what Qingyun's ambition is? Through the heavens and latitudes, the rich armor side, a crane among the clouds. ”

"Since you are a person who knows poetry and books, you must also know etiquette, and you can know that you ignore indecency, ignore indecency, do not listen, incivility do not speak, and incivility does not move. When you and I meet for the first time, we probably understand the difference between men and women, or you put yourself in your shoes, a girl and a young lady, in this situation, there is no embarrassment. Under the embarrassment, she mustered up the courage of delicate drops, as soft as a stream, but not humble or silent, and the meaning was extremely clear.

"Miss Tang Tu." After finishing speaking, I only listened to the footsteps and gradually drifted away.

Wanying thought that she must have gone far, so she dared to turn around and breathe a long sigh of relief, a beautiful scenery, and she was not interested at the moment. Follow the road you came from, and return to the Treasure Pavilion. Nothing was said all night.
