Chapter 9 The sound of the piano in the small courtyard
It is said that Dong Yanzhi spoke out for a while to persuade Mrs. Liu and Du Ruyi to misunderstand Du Qingfeng, and Du Qingfeng was not ambiguous, and he accepted it when he saw it. "Sister Yanzhi, don't pay attention to them. My mother and sister in-law, they are full of food, and they are all using you to have fun. Come, come, let's eat, don't bother with them, otherwise, I'll be hard to argue. ”
"Well, cousin Aomine, Yan Zhi knows. I just toast my aunt so as not to lose etiquette. Dong Yanzhi thanked Du Qingfeng and said, glanced back at Mrs. Liu, who was still smiling faintly, and silently picked up the soup bowl and sipped it carefully.
Du Ruyan smiled and said, "Brother, don't teach Sister Yanzhi badly, I don't depend on you." ”
Du Qingfeng stared at Du Ruyan fiercely, and said with a sly smile: "Sister, do you only allow the state officials to set fires, and don't allow the people to light lamps?" Brother, I'm ignoring you! ”
Mrs. Liu also followed Du Xianghua and said: "Qingfeng, let's speak first, you can't mess with Sister Yanzhi, or your mother won't be able to spare you." ”
Du Qingfeng suddenly threw the bowl on the table, stood up and roared angrily: "Hey, mother, I can't live in peace when I go home for a meal, let's not eat, you can use it slowly." With a hula, he left the table, leaving only a faint back.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu hurriedly said, "Yanzhi, don't be surprised. These monkey spirits in my family are all like donkeys, and they will be angry if they don't agree with each other. You should be considerate, it's good to get used to it for a long time, in fact, they are fierce one by one, but they have no master, and as soon as the anger disappears, it will be all rain. Come, come, the old man eats and eats, if there is a place where the care is not due, please bear with me. ”
Dong Yanzhi didn't expect to come all the way to her aunt's house in the capital, and the first dinner at her aunt's house was unpleasant, and there was really an indescribable blockage in her heart. But if you are a person living under someone else's roof, what can you do even if you have a million words?
The night had fallen solemnly, and some bright stars had faintly appeared in the stars of the sky. At this time, the prosperous atmosphere in the capital slowly appeared, and the lights of the houses and houses gradually dyed the dark night, glowing with orange warmth.
After Dong Yanzhi had dinner, under the leadership of Du Fu Yahuan, she said goodbye to her aunt and came to the wing room in the backyard. It is said that it is a wing room in the backyard, but in fact it is a separate small courtyard, which is similar to the back garden of a large family, with pavilions and pavilions, winding paths and flowers, small springs and flowing water, the same lot. Dong Yanzhi looked around, this small courtyard is neither remote nor lonely, the front and back are friendship, such a quiet garden courtyard is quite suitable for her own humility, the aunt is really thoughtful, properly arranged, and unconsciously gradually showed a liking in her heart.
When I entered the room, I waited for the hot water brought by the next person for washing, and the maid who was waiting for me was carried into the room, and I didn't care about 3721. I can't take care of a lot, everything is freshened up, Dong Yanzhi is trying to sleep comfortably, and her majesty is tired from the journey for several days. A girl in Tsing Yi walked in at the right time and said to Dong Yanzhi: "Miss Dong, my lord is back, and Mrs. Liu is sending me to invite you to meet me." Please Miss Dong come with me quickly, or the master will be in a hurry, and I won't see you again. Da Ming'er went out early in the morning, and I don't know when the master will return home. ”
Dong Yanzhi sighed lightly and replied, "Well, please wait a minute, I'll come with you when I'm done." The girl nodded in response, and stood aside and waited, chatting with the two girls in the room who were cleaning up the bed.
Dong Yanzhi didn't dare to slack off, so she hurriedly dressed herself in front of the bronze mirror, and when she felt that it was appropriate, she got up and said, "Okay, let's go, see my aunt in the front hall." The girl in Tsing Yi immediately got up and led the way, holding a lantern, fluttering like a glowing fire in this deep courtyard.
When she arrived at the front hall, the girl in Tsing Yi walked a few steps and stepped into the hall to report to one of the long-bearded old men: "Master, madam, Miss Dong is here, please command." Then the girl stood aside, and lowered her hand to be dispatched.
Mrs. Liu's eyes were sharp, and she hurriedly said: "Master, this is our aunt and niece, take a look." It's much better than the two disobedient girls in our family. ”
The man who was called the old man immediately said, "Oh, the daughter of my aunt's family is here, please come in quickly." Mo Li, this is a great joy, and there are finally distant relatives coming and going. Come over and let my uncle see it. Ouch, how can this aunt's child be born so brilliantly. If you grow one point, you will increase the length of the dragon, and if you subtract one color, you will lose the beauty of its softness, which is really rare in the world. The old man did not hide his amazement and joy and said, and the exit was a head and tail of appreciation, which made Dong Yanzhi look a little caught off guard and surprised for a while.
Dong Yanzhi thought to herself, there is a thing in this world that is in a hurry to praise people before they have met. My uncle, whom I met for the first time, is just like their children, and his acute problems do not change at all. It was an eye-opener. However, Dong Yanzhi was like a person who had nothing to swallow her anger, and cleverly bowed to the old man among them and said: "Good uncle, I wish my uncle a hundred years of life, ten thousand blessings, ten thousand blessings, ten thousand blessings, and a long blessing!" Yan Zhi, it's time to see my uncle. As soon as the words landed, Dong Yanzhi gave her uncle a deep gift, and then stood in front of Mr. and Mrs. Du, becoming more and more shy and delicate.
Master Du asked Dong Yanzhi about some changes in his aunt's family, and he became more and more moved when he heard it. At the end, he couldn't help but burst into tears and said: "In this way, you have suffered all the hardships of the world at a young age, and your uncle and aunt are also guilty in your heart." When I heard the news of the accident in your aunt's family, I sent someone to the south to find out the news. But in the end, there is a vast sea of people, and the wind and smoke are insignificant. It was as if the people of my aunt's family had disappeared from the earth, and there was no news or a trace. There's no way, my uncle and aunt can only stop and find out about your family. Now you have come from afar, and you are a lonely and weak woman, and it is difficult to survive in this world. In the future, you can live at your uncle's house, don't think about anything, and live with your cousins and sisters, which can be regarded as a little compensation and comfort from your uncle and aunt. ”
Suddenly, Dong Yanzhi was moved by Master Du's words, the sky was spinning, and tears fell blinkingly. was speechless for a while, and Jing was secretly sad.
"Master, don't talk about this, you should be happy to see your aunt and niece now, why do you make Yanzhi sad? I'm still looking forward to you and your grandfather having a good conversation, but now it's okay, everyone's tears are flowing everywhere. Hey, don't say it, or the master will let Yanzhi go back to the room to rest first, the car and horses are tired, and after so many days of traveling, it is tiring enough. Mrs. Liu looked at the crying posture of Master Du in front of her, and hurriedly diverted the topic, for fear that each other's tears would once again spread across the eyebrows in the corners of her eyes.
When Master Du heard what Mrs. Liu said, he nodded and responded: "Okay, good!" Yanzhi, uncle won't disturb your rest, you and Yahuan will go back to the backyard first, and let's have a good talk with Ming'er, and communicate with your cousins and sisters. ”
Dong Yanzhi was staying in the middle at the time, with an unnatural look, hearing what her uncle said, she hurriedly gave a salute, and then said goodbye to Mrs. Liu, and gently moved Lian back to the backyard.
The night was speechless, the sky was dawning, and the sunlight gently and sparsely entered through the window. A melodious and elegant piano sound quietly came in from outside, echoing and ethereal, reading the eyes and ears, comfortable and happy.
Dong Yanzhi shivered violently on the bed, immediately jumped up from the bed, walked out of the door, walked through the corridor and wall, and followed the sound.
When I came to the back garden, I saw that the garden gate was wide open, and a few older mothers-in-law were cleaning the fallen leaves at the gate of the garden, cleaning up the dead branches that fell on the ground, and clearing the turf surface. When I saw someone coming over, I looked at it slightly, but I didn't say anything, let alone pay attention to it, and went about my own business.
Dong Yanzhi hesitated and walked into the garden, which was full of green bushes, towers and water pavilions, and flowing water, and was not dumb to a finely carved Jiangnan Water Township Courtyard, which was very different from her own backyard in the blue and white embroidery building. Coupled with the quiet and deep sound of the piano, thinking that the owner of this residence must be a slender and gentle woman, Dong Yanzhi's heart was hesitant.
Walking to the side of the lotus pond, a wisp of the eaves palace with a phoenix is in sight. The hanging colored silk silk flutters elegantly with the wind, the flaming red lantern seems to be a double dragon to welcome the pearl, a row of willow-colored hanging water ripples, a small window that pushes the window to welcome the moon is next to the lotus pond outside the building, the soft morning sun enters through the window, and the sparse light rolls up a thin smoke ring. A beautiful woman wearing a red belt and a green bun with a peach blossom pocket headdress is sitting on the windowsill, leaning over to stroke the piano, and skillfully flopping with her hands. The faint and soothing sound of the piano flew out, skimming the water and playing.
Dong Yanzhi listened suspiciously, closed her eyes and held her breath to indulge in the antique and elegant sound of the piano, as if she had flown back to the backyard of the blue and white embroidery building, and was dancing and singing along with this beautiful and elegant woman. Like a butterfly dancing and flying, free to fly in the blooming bushes, green flies and butterflies in the sleeves. It is like a small fisherman rushing in a torrent, passing through the freedom and freedom of his life.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, the lotus pond fluttered, the wind and water waves, and the willows were still there. Dong Yanzhi opened her intoxicated eyes and leaned in, only to see a girl in the curtain who was similar to her own and beautiful, as if she had discovered herself, she suddenly sat down, leaned out of the window, and looked suspiciously. The two phases are set against each other, forming a scene of their own.
Dong Yanzhi wanted to say hello to the girl opposite and inform each other, but suddenly remembered that she was just a person who rushed in, because the elegant sound of the piano completely broke the rules of meeting. Suddenly, the little deer, whose heart fled for its life as if it was frightened, stayed in the middle of it with a thump of bang and eight pounds, and was at a loss for a while.
