Chapter 39: See you again in the Plum Garden
The five girls walked hand in hand, talking and laughing all the way, and before they came to Chuntang House, they knew each other a lot.
Because of Qu Qian and Qu Wei by her side, Lu Jiayue originally wanted to knock on the side and ask Liang Wan about Liang Hao's thoughts, but she had to temporarily stop talking.
The maids were busy pouring tea and setting up snacks to entertain Liang Wan and Qu Qian Qu Wei, Lu Jiayue saw a few newly blooming plum blossoms in the azure Ru kiln flowers on the table next to her, and her heart moved, and she called Xin Zhu to whisper, Xin Zhu nodded and went out quietly.
The girls in the boudoir gathered together, and they were just talking about what clothes and materials have been fashionable in the market recently, or which silver building has newly made hairpin ring jewelry, or which fat powder shop's rouge gouache is the most delicate skin.
A few girls just said a word or two casually, but Qu Qian was the only one who kept talking.
It's no wonder that with the financial resources of Sanfang, Qu Qian was wrapped in gold and silver from head to toe.
But as soon as Liang Wan opened her mouth to ask what books the young ladies of the Qu family had read, Qu Qian could only smile awkwardly and couldn't answer.
In fact, several young ladies of the composer had invited female gentlemen to teach poetry, pen and ink, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at home when they were young. It's just that Qu Qian, like her brother Qu Huai, is lazy and naturally unliterate, so while learning, she loses it again.
It was Qu Ying who chatted with Liang Wan very well in poetry.
When Lu Jiayue saw this scene, she was comforted.
In the future, if the two of them really become sisters-in-law, do embroidery work together in their spare time, talk about poetry and books, and think that the relationship will be harmonious.
After an hour, Liang Wan and Qu Ying became more and more intimate, but Mrs. Qu sent someone over, saying that it was time for lunch, so let her go to the room to eat.
*
Because of the large number of people, this lunch was very lively, and the fourth lady Fang had fun from it, and everyone was happy, and even the meals were more used than usual.
After lunch, she was sitting and drinking tea, Lu Jiayue thought about Xin Zhu's words, and secretly guessed that the time was almost over, so she smiled at Liang Wan and said, "I don't know if my sister likes plum blossoms?" There's a plum garden at the second gate, but do you want to take my sister to take a look? ”
"It's not snow, it's only dark incense," Liang Wan said with a shallow smile, "I've always liked plum blossoms the most, so please ask my sister to take me to see it." ”
According to Lu Jiayue's plan, it was inconvenient to let Qu Qian and Qu Wei go with her, so she didn't tell anyone in a big way, but quietly called Qu Ying, and went out of the upper room with Liang Wan and went to the Dark Fragrance Garden.
Fortunately, although the weather was cold, it never snowed, and the three girls each tied their cloaks, wore hoods, and held hand warmers in their arms, laughing all the way to the second door. Only then did he get out of the second gate, and walked a hundred steps in the direction of the Dark Fragrance Garden, and there was a burst of clear fragrance in front of him.
Liang Wan frowned, sniffed lightly, and smiled: "It's so fragrant - there are thousands of flowers and plants in the world, but I think that the plum blossoms that come from the bitter cold have the most different fragrance." ”
And into the garden, the snow has not melted for several days, dozens of plum blossoms bloom in the snow, like red clouds, and like the morning glow, the snow color reflects the flower color, it is complementary to each other, beautiful.
Liang Wan stepped on the snow, walked to the plum tree, first stretched out his hand to climb a plum blossom in his hand, sniffed and appreciated, very fond.
Lu Jiayue asked Xin Zhu to step forward, broke off a branch for her, held it in her hand, and pointed to the warm pavilion in the garden, and said with a smile: "It's strange cold outside, let's go inside to talk, sit there and look out, the scenery is the same." ”
Because since the plum blossoms in the garden bloomed, Mrs. Qu would come to enjoy the plum blossoms from time to time, there were maids and servants on duty in this garden day and night, the copper charcoal stove in the warm pavilion was burning with charcoal fire from time to time, and under the eaves of the porch outside, there was always hot water sitting on the small stove.
Lu Jiayue and the three of them came in to warm the pavilion, and the maids came in with boiling hot tea. Liang Wan took the tea bell, leaned in front of the glass window, looked out, and couldn't help laughing: "This window is really good, sitting here, the field of vision is wide, and the wind is not blowing, you really know how to think." ”
Qu Ying told the origin of these pieces of glass, and Liang Wan listened to it, but only smiled slightly, without showing any envy.
The Liang family is indeed an upright and noble family, and even if the daughter she taught has limited vision, she also has her own arrogance, and no matter how rare and rare the object is, in her eyes, it is just a mundane thing that can be bought with gold and silver.
Lu Jiayue had more admiration for Liang Wan.
The three of them drank tea and enjoyed the plum blossoms, but they suddenly heard a movement outside, and before they could ask the maid and maid, someone had already lifted the curtain and walked in.
It was the third young master, Qu Zhang, and Liang Haoliang, young master.
Lu Jiayue was satisfied, today's plan was finally successful.
Naturally, this is also thanks to the great help of Qu Zhang.
So he stood up with a smile and called sweetly to Qu Zhang, "Third brother." ”
Qu Zhang nodded, but before he spoke, his face was already slightly red.
Before lunch, it was Lu Jiayue who sent a personal maid and quietly told him that after lunch, he invited Liang Hao to the Dark Fragrance Garden to enjoy the plum blossoms. Although he didn't understand the reason, he didn't hesitate to accept it.
But at this time, what else is there not to understand?
It turned out that he was really a red thread old moon.
When Liang Wan saw her brother coming in, she laughed first and said, "It's really a coincidence, it turns out that the third young master also invited his brother to enjoy the plum." ”
It's just that Liang Hao would not have thought that his sister would be in the warm pavilion with the two girls, he was stunned for a moment, and he consciously broke in rashly, which was really rude, so he hurriedly laughed with him, and said: "I came presumptuously, I didn't know that the two girls were involved, and they collided with the two girls, please forgive." ”
Whether it was really a rash collision, Qu Zhang and Lu Jiayue knew it, Liang Wan didn't care much, only Liang Hao and Qu Ying, when they met so suddenly, they couldn't help but feel a little abrupt in their hearts.
"It's okay, it's okay," Lu Jiayue smiled, "Don't blame those who don't know, third brother, please sit with Young Master Liang." ”
Lu Jiayue greeted Liang Hao generously, but Qu Ying on the side lowered her head and didn't say a word, looking thoughtful.
I heard Lu Jiayue smile in my ears: "Young Master Liang came all the way in, what do you think of the plum blossoms in this garden?" ”
I heard Liang Hao say again: "Very good, white snow and red plums, extremely elegant." ”
"When you turn around, Young Master Liang can fold two branches and go back, and raise them in the study with clear water flowers, but the fragrance is all over the room."
"Thank you, girl, I'll have to go back later."
Lu Jiayue Gu Zi and Liang Hao were talking, and across the copper charcoal stove in the middle, Qu Ying quietly raised her eyes and looked at Liang Hao.
But I saw that he was sitting straight and upright, his robe was flat and neat, and then he looked at his face, square forehead and broad face, two thick black eyebrows, and a pair of bright and handsome eyes.
The end is full of heroism and quite manly.
Somehow, my heart pounded. Before, through the screen, she just felt a little familiar with him, but at this time, there was no cover in front of her, and she could see it so clearly, in her heart, there was a clear feeling that the old man would return and see each other again.
