Chapter 24: Thank you

Will there be a second Liang Yushi in Kyoto City today?

It's just that the Qu family has no contact with Liang Shaokuan's mansion, why did the mother-in-law of Liang Mansion suddenly come to visit Mrs. Qu?

Meng Shi was very puzzled.

The two mothers-in-law smiled again: "The two of us came with our wife's companion Mama Wang, and Mama Wang is greeting the old lady of your mansion inside." ”

When Meng Shi heard this, he stopped talking, nodded to the two mothers-in-law, and turned to come out.

The courtyard was quiet, and no one was moving. The snow on the ground was more than half a foot thick, but one of the terrazzo tunnels had just been cleared, and only a thin layer of snowflakes had fallen.

The maids and ladies supported Meng and Lu Jiayue to walk down the corridor to the porch outside the hall, and then they all retreated. Meng Shi and Lu Jiayue entered the hall and turned into the banquet room of Old Madam Qu, except for a room of maids, there was indeed a middle-aged woman with a face, sitting on the embroidered pier at the bottom of Old Madam Qu.

Meng Shi didn't know, and sat down on the warm kang.

Old Madam Qu was not surprised by the arrival of Meng and Lu Jiayue, and smiled and called Lu Jiayue to sit beside her.

"It's cold outside, isn't it? Wear more clothes, but don't freeze, or your aunt will be distressed again. ”

Lu Jiayue responded obediently, and said with a well-behaved smile: "Thank you for the old lady's care, on such a cold day, the old lady should also pay attention to keeping warm." ”

Mrs. Qu bowed her head and smiled happily.

The middle-aged woman on the side saw Meng Shi and Lu Jiayue coming in, and she had already stood up, her eyes kept falling on Lu Jiayue, and then she smiled at Old Madam Qu: "This young lady wants to be the little granddaughter of the old lady, right?" The appearance is really peugeot. ”

Old Madam Qu smiled, pointed at Meng Shi and said, "It's my eldest daughter-in-law's niece, and naturally she can be regarded as my granddaughter." He pointed to the middle-aged woman and said to Meng and Lu Jiayue, "This is Mama Wang next to Mrs. Liang." ”

Mrs. Qu knew it in her heart, and with Meng's intelligence, she naturally wanted to find out who "Mrs. Liang" was, and she didn't need to introduce her more.

Meng Shi also stood up and said hello to Mama Wang with a smile.

Lu Jiayue also followed closely to greet him.

Mama Wang thanked him and turned sideways to avoid the salute.

The three of them sat down again, and Mama Wang smiled again: "Look at Miss Biao's appearance and bearing, she really looks a little like an old lady, don't blame the old slave for mistaking it." ”

Mrs. Qu held Lu Jiayue's small hands in her hands and rubbed them, looking at Lu Jiayue's small appearance, she liked it in her heart, "Is it really like me?" When I was younger, I wasn't as neat as she was. ”

"This is the blue out of the blue, and better than the blue." Mama Wang nodded and smiled.

On the side, Meng Shi looked at Mama Wang quietly.

I saw that she was about forty-five or sixteen years old, and although she was wearing a green and arrowroot cloth coat, she was still clean and tidy. The appearance is very ordinary, there is no provocative place, but between words and deeds, neither flattering nor arrogant, but with a little vague calmness and calmness.

Liang Shaokuan, who is still the head of the family and wants to be the head of the family, is indeed an upright person.

Meng couldn't help but have a little more respect for Mama Wang.

After sitting and gossiping for a while, Mama Wang got up and said goodbye.

"It's a shame to come today, my wife sent me to greet the old lady first, and when our lady is free in a few days, she will come to visit in person and thank the old lady in person."

When Meng Shi listened, he knew that it was the volume of Zhang Puyun's pine and bamboo snow scene that matched the Liang family's mind.

It's no wonder that the Liang family is so polite, thinking that the birthday banquet of Old Lady Liang is so deserted, the arrival of Qu Hong and Qu Ning is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow for the Liang family.

It has always been easy to put the icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

The Liang family is an innocent and upright family, so they will keep this friendship in their hearts.

After Mama Wang left, Lu Jiayue solemnly thanked Mrs. Qu.

Mrs. Qu didn't care, and said with a smile: "It's just a piece of skin, what is worth thanking?" It's a pity that it's broken in white, I look at a few girls, or the most suitable for you to wear, who else can you give it if you don't give it to you? ”

Lu Jiayue smiled shyly: "That being said, it's still too valuable in the end, so it's better for you to take it back and give it to Sister Wei." ”

"This little girl, what are you talking about," Mrs. Qu smiled and waved her hand, "You can take it with peace of mind, I still have good things for Wei Yatou here." If you really want to thank me, just wear that dress for me more, and I like it, so that it is not a waste of that good skin, don't you say? ”

At this point, Lu Jiayue also knew that she couldn't push it back anymore.

So I thanked Mrs. Qu again.

Meng and Lu Jiayue accompanied Mrs. Qu to gossip for a long time, Mrs. Qu smiled and smiled, very happy, and left Meng and Lu Jiayue to have dinner together in the evening, and then sent the two big maids who were close to her, and sent Lu Jiayue back to Chuntang Residence.

The heavy snowfall lasted for two or three days before it stopped.

It's just that the sky is still gloomy, and it never clears.

In the past few days, Lu Jiayue has only nested in Chuntang House, and has never even taken half a step out of the courtyard gate, only laughing and laughing with the maids every day to pass the time.

In the afternoon, Qu Ying came.

"The plum blossoms in our dark fragrance garden are blooming, and my grandmother called us to go to enjoy the plum blossoms together."

Lu Jiayue didn't bother to move.

Helplessly, Qu Ying persuaded again and again.

"It's rare that plum blossoms are blooming, and grandmother likes it too, mother and three aunts and four aunts, as well as two sisters-in-law, two sisters and three sisters, everyone has gone, you can also go and take a look."

The Qu family has a plum garden, which is built between the front yard and the inner courtyard. In the past, it was just a vacant courtyard, because a few plum blossoms were planted in it, which bloomed every winter, but there were no plum blossoms in the back garden of the Qu family, so the people of the Qu family simply demolished the houses in the courtyard and planted many plum blossoms into it, and it became a plum garden.

Later, he took the poem "The shadow is sparse and the water is shallow, and the dark fragrance floats in the dusk of the moon", and gave a name, called the Dark Fragrance Garden.

In her previous life, Lu Jiayue also went to the garden to step on the snow and fold the plum in winter, and the scenery was good.

Lu Jiayue couldn't resist the temptation of the red plum snow scene, and Qu Ying persuaded her, so she had to call Xin Zhu to tie her cloak and go with Qu Ying.

*

On such a cold day, Lu Jiayue and Qu Ying went all the way, and they didn't even meet a maid.

I think I should have hid to keep warm.

The two came hand in hand to the dark fragrance garden, before entering the garden gate, the clear fragrance of plum blossoms has come to the face, the slightest wisps, straight into the heart of the spleen, people do not feel refreshed.

Qu Ying smiled: "You still can't say it - smell, smell, how fragrant!" ”

The two of them laughed and came to the garden.

In the garden, there is a warm pavilion built in the style of a pavilion. There are windows on all sides of the warm pavilion, but it is not like the ordinary window, carved with a pattern pasted on the curtain, but with a person high, three feet wide glass, embedded in the window lattice, up and down wide, sitting in the warm pavilion does not need to open the window, only through the dusty glass window, you can have a clear view of the scenery in the garden.
