Chapter 7: The so-called Iraqi people

It rained early in the morning, and the fine and dense rain fell like silk threads, and Song Yushi held an umbrella to prevent the underground rain from splashing her embroidered shoes, and walked very slowly.

Zao Zao sat under the eaves to re-embroider the brocade for Song Ting, and last time I heard the young lady say that it fell on the river bank and disappeared. After wearing the last thread, Song Yushi and the maid Xiaocha appeared at the corner of the white wall, and Zao Zao hurriedly put down the towel in his hand, took the umbrella out of the house and opened it to welcome him.

"Little Five is better?" Song Yushi smiled faintly, and the flowers shone on the water, and the eyebrows were bent like beautiful distant mountains. "I made something she loved to eat."

The third young lady's warm smile warmed the entire Lanting Garden, and the face of the jujube that was blown cold by the rain and wind was also hot, "Third Miss, don't come if it rains today, beware of the cold body, let's go into the house quickly." ”

Song Yushi nodded and walked in front, Zao Zao followed Xiaocha side by side, stretched out his hand to take the food box in her hand for her, Xiaocha smiled brightly, and patted away her weak little hand: "What are we polite about!" ”

Song Yushi looked back and saw the two of them smiling, and then raised the corners of her mouth: "The relationship between your sisters is getting better and better." ”

Zao Zao grinned: "That can't catch up with the third miss and my young lady." ”

The three of them walked to the eaves to put away the umbrella and stand it outside the wall, Zao Zao jumped in first, ran to the inner room, and shouted happily: "Miss, the third lady has come to see you again!" ”

Song Ting had an injury to her buttocks and waist, and she refused to go down to the ground after recuperating in bed for several days, and she was teasing the sleeping hairball when she heard Zao Zao say that the third sister was coming, and Song Yushi came several times in the past few days when she was asleep, just as Zao Zao said, only the third sister and the old lady were really treated by the Hou Mansion.

"Third sister, bring me something delicious today!"

Song Yushi took off the cloak on his body and handed it to Zaojube, and took out a pavilion from the food box on the table, which put some hot dishes and pastries, as well as a bowl of fish soup made by himself.

"No, your favorite amber walnuts, eat a few to satisfy your cravings." Song Yushi brushed the falling cuffs and put the plate next to Song Ting's bed, Song Ting's eyes stared at the soft silk that was holding the jade porcelain, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister's hands are so beautiful!" ”

Song Yushi blushed at her sudden compliment, and stared at her round eyes: "You, when did your mouth become so good at boasting?" ”

Song Ting smiled and ate the walnuts in the bowl: "Isn't it okay for me to praise my sister for her beauty?" ”

"Miss, it's time to take medicine."

Song Yushi took the ointment brought by the jujube, picked up a piece of ice flower ointment with her finely shaved fingertips and rubbed it lightly on Song Ting's waist, "You have been lying in the house for several days, you should go out for a walk to breathe, don't get bored." ”

When she used to chase dramas at home, she could not leave the door of the house for a month, but the sister in front of her was too gentle, Song Ting refused ruthlessly, and her voice was unconsciously soft: "Let's go to Xueyue Street at night." ”

Xueyue Street is the famous Hualiu Lane in Cheng'an, where most of the men drink flower wine and soak the flower girl, the three little girls standing in front of them immediately blushed, Song Yushi gently raised her hand and patted Song Ting's buttocks: "What are you going to do in that place!" ”

"I heard that day that the proprietress of Yaoxiang Building had opened a new big jewelry shop, you can go and have a look."

How could a shy and reserved woman like Song Yushi agree to go to that kind of place.

But after the two finished dinner, under Song Ting's soft grinding and hard soaking, Song Yushi couldn't stand her sister's coquettish offensive, and agreed to go to Hualiu Lane to go around, but because of her thin skin, she asked Xiaocha to prepare a hat to cover her fresh eyebrows and bright eyes, and traveled with Song Ting on Cheng'an Xueyue Street in this spring night.

The green willows reflect the color of the river, a spring rain rests, moistens the soft apricot blossoms all over the city, the lights are on, the red lanterns hanging outside the incense building are swaying in the spring breeze, and the whole street is lingering with the fragrance of wine mixed with the drunken daughter's fat powder.

Song Ting sniffed hard, just the smell of wine in his nose made his head drunk, and the streets were often full of drunken sons and girls who laughed and sang, Cheng'an was unrestrained, and she was a woman in a green building, saying explicit love words that made people blush and hot ears and walked past them, listening to Song Yushi's ears, through the light white tulle jade skin red clouds.

Due to the new opening of Yiyu Zhai, there is an endless stream of customers who come to the store, most of whom are rich sons in brocade clothes and daughters with golden branches and jade leaves. As soon as Song Ting saw the dazzling array of dazzling jewelry, it was difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart, and he couldn't care about the injury on his waist, Shi Shiran jumped to the front.

Yiyuzhai store is huge, different areas sell different jewelry, Song Yushi does not like to wear bright gems on weekdays, loves jade jade, and can not open her legs when she enters the jade pavilion. Looking at it as carefully, she heard that it was the eldest lady of the Gu family who opened this shop in Cheng'an, and sure enough, she had outstanding vision, and the goods were comparable to the royal family.

Song Yushi was dazzled, and finally liked a quiet jade crow hairpin, "Boss, help me wrap this up." ”

The boss looked down at the hairpin that was shining in the light, and looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry Miss, this has been decided, do you want to pick a few others?" ”

"Ah......" Song Yushi raised her hookah eyebrows, looked at the hairpin she liked in disappointment, and reluctantly put it back on the velvet rack, "Forget it." ”

The boss couldn't bear to look at the delicate and pitiful appearance, looked at the hairpin on her bun, and quickly chose the jade one: "Girl, or this?" ”

Song Yushi smiled faintly and rejected the store, Song Ting ran over and said happily: "Sister, have you chosen?" ”

Song Yushi shook her head, her eyes fell on the silver wire box in her hand, this Gu family is generous, and the boxes containing jewelry are all fragrant nan wood, "What did you choose, show me?" ”

"A pair of garnet drop drop earrings." Song Tingtuo's eyebrows fluttered: "I met a fortune teller before, saying that I wore garnets to walk peach blossom luck." ”

Song Yushi covered her mouth and laughed: "The girl's family is really not ashamed! ”

"Why don't I pick a garnet hairpin for my sister?"

Song Yushi couldn't hold her face, "Let's go, if you don't go back, your father should scold again." ”

The two sisters walked out of Yiyuzhai with a smile, and a smell of wine came to their faces, "Gu Sanye, I heard that there are several pieces of high-quality jade in your store, can you make a bracelet and give it to others?" The woman's delicate voice came from under the steps.

"Okay, the little yellow warbler will give you whatever the master wants." The drunken man singled out the phoenix eyes, shaking the slender green leaves like willow branches.

Song Yushi raised her feet and was about to step down the stone steps, when the son stumbled over.

Song Ting screamed in surprise and hurriedly reached out to pick up the fallen woman, but was taken into his arms by the drunk son.

The light yarn flowed, Song Yushi's panicked and pretty face fell into the clear water pool in Gu Ran's eyes between the staggered eyes, the cage smoke eyebrows seemed to be frowning, and the double pupils cut the water, reflecting the colorful light and shadow outside Yiyuzhai, but innocent like a frightened rabbit, Gu Ran's heart softened into mud in an instant, and he was a little stunned, as if the surroundings were suddenly quiet and he couldn't hear the sound. The willow waist that was held in a hurry moved away from the warm palm.

"Miss, ...... you" Xiaocha was about to interrupt the gaze of the two, Song Ting dragged her aside, her apricot eyes glared slightly, and whispered ambiguously in her ear: "Don't go to spoil your young lady's good deeds!" ”

Xiaocha doesn't know what the good thing Miss Wu said is, she is stupid by nature, and Miss can't talk about her like that, since she doesn't let herself be disturbed, she just doesn't speak.

Growing up so big for the first time to have such intimate contact with a man, Song Yushi's face turned purple, and the hot color was about to burrow into her ear sockets, and she whispered softly: "I'm sorry......"

Gu Ran didn't answer immediately, just looked at her like this, his eyes were hot and there was no trace of hiding, looking at the mutton fat clear cheeks dyed peach, it was sweet in the thick spring, sweet like a little hand scratching his heart and liver, tempting him to kiss Fangze.

"It's because I'm not steady, it's none of the girl's business." Gu Ran's bright smile was like a spring breeze in March, and Song Yushi's face became even hotter.

Bent down to pick up the hat that fell to the ground, the soft white yarn had been stained by the residual water after the rain, Gu Ran held the corner of the yarn obsessively: "This yarn curtain is dirty, why don't you buy the same one again and return it to Miss?" ”

Song Yushi calmed down, the burning heat on her face gradually dissipated, and nephrite smiled warmly: "It's not in the way." ”

"Then ......" Gu Ran bent his starry eyes: "That girl is willing to give me this hat?" ”

Song Yushi raised her head in surprise just in time to meet his gaze, which was as hot as a flame surrounding her, so she had to hurriedly put it aside, "It's good if the son likes to take it." ”

"Thank you, girl."

The little yellow warbler, who was left to dry, watched Gu Sangongzi stand in place like a soul and refused to leave, pouting her red lips and coquettishly: "Let's go in quickly." ”

Song Yuyan secretly raised her eyes to look at the girl who was talking, and then looked at Gu Ran, who had been staring at her, and obeyed: "Farewell." ”

After that, he took Song Ting's hand and quickly disappeared under the Yiyu Zhai Gate.

Gu Ran looked at the fluttering butterfly shadow from afar until it gradually drowned in the sea of people before retracting his reluctant gaze, forgetting the little yellow warbler beside him, and even the dizzy wine became extremely sober, and walked straight into Yiyuzhai.

"Lao Lin, what about the hairpin I ordered yesterday?" Gu Ran walked to the back hall of the store and found a chair to sit down at random.

Lao Lin presented the brocade box, Gu Ran hooked it with his fingertips, opened it and took a look, the white and soft hairpin was lying quietly in the velvet box, and his sensitive nose only caught the faint peach blossom fragrance floating on the hairpin for a moment.

"Has anyone touched my hairpin?"

Hearing that Gu Sanye was displeased, Lao Lin immediately said: "Third Master forgive me, the newly recruited guy has a dull brain, forgetting that this jade crow hairpin was set by the third master in advance and put it on the cabinet shelf. His eyes fell on Gu Ran's hat, and Lao Lin was surprised: "The third master knows this girl?" ”

Gu Ran looked up at the same floating peach blossom curtain suspiciously, and suddenly realized that it was her...... She even liked this hairpin......

The tip of his heart trembled slightly, like a frightened lake, and Gu Ran, who had always been calm about affairs, was speechless with excitement at the moment.

"Reward the new fellow with ten taels of silver." Gu Ran relaxed, and suddenly smiled brightly, but he confused Lao Lin, laughing for a while and angry for a while, the temper of the third master was really uncertain.

Xiao Huang Ying wandered around the store several times before finding Gu Ran, shaking her waist and wrapping her arms around him like a water vine: "Third Master, didn't you say that you wanted to give me a hairpin, where is it?" ”

Gu Ran raised his lips and smiled deeply, quietly put the brocade box into his sleeve, stretched out his hand and pinched his little face: "Pick it yourself, you can do whatever you want." ”

"Is Imperial Green okay?"

"......" Gu Ran smiled far-fetched: "That's what my eldest sister likes, do you say it's okay?" ”

Quan Cheng'an didn't know Miss Gu's temper, and Xiao Huang Ying hurriedly changed her words: "I'll pick something else, I like it anyway." ”

"That's for the best."

Late at night, Gu Ran returned home, casually pacing under the moonlight, looking at the hat in his hand, he learned from the records left by the visitors of Yiyuzhai that the girl he met tonight was the Hou family of Changping, and several other daughters had seen it, but the third lady was very mysterious. sighed faintly at the carved beams and paintings, but the magnificent mansion was unusually empty tonight, and the evening breeze was blowing into his body, and his body was cold.

"What are you standing there for?"

Hearing the voice of the eldest sister, Gu Ran turned away, walked into the warm room, the fragrance of turnips was looming, and the woman was sitting on a stool covered with red fox velvet cushions with her legs crossed, holding the red sandalwood carved case with one hand and looking at him with her head tilted, and holding the account book in the other.

"What? Can't go out for a drink today? The scorching peach blossom eyes blinked, nodded slightly at Gu Ran, and asked him to sit down opposite. Only in front of the eldest sister was obedient and obedient Gu Sanye sat down obediently, but his expression was depressed, and he looked like a resentful woman who was waiting for her husband to return in a secluded boudoir. "I met a girl outside Yiyu Zhai today."

Gu Shenbi looked back at the account book again, "Which one?" ”

"The Hou family of Changping."

"Oh." The eldest sister's response was extremely flat, and then she added: "Don't be the fifth lady who made a lot of trouble in the city a while ago, my father won't agree." ”

"No, it's Miss Three."

Gu Shenbi carefully recalled the third lady in her brother's mouth in her mind, for her, there were too many people she had seen, and it was difficult to outline the shape of the woman she said.

"Hey, I really can't think of any reason to come to the Hou Mansion." Gu Ran finally said the worries that had been depressed along the way.

The woman scoffed, "Do you need a reason to come to the door with your cheekiness?" ”

Gu Ran's color was a little darker.

After all, it was his younger brother, and he couldn't bear to be a sister, Gu Shenbi put down the account book, held her cheeks and thought for a moment, her crystal clear nails gently scratched the soft leaves of the pothos in the green kiln jug, and suddenly said: "Song Yuyan snatched your jade pendant that day, can you return it?" ”

"Nope." Gu Ran replied casually, and then was stunned for a few seconds, and a cluster of light flashed under his eyes, "Sure enough, the eldest sister is the smartest!" ”

The beauty raised her eyebrows lightly, "Uh-huh~"
