Chapter 29: Xia He
The third son shook his head: "I heard that my sister has found something to do in the silk village, so I probably won't teach anymore." We also have a new gentleman. β
"Yes." I nodded: "Anyway, it's a good thing that the gentleman is good now." β
Xiao Sanzi nodded: "It is said that people are already good and will never go to the reeds again." β
I smiled again and asked, "What about the woman's hand when it was ugly?" β
Xiao Sanzi smiled: "Really, only you believe in such a thing." β
We laughed for a while, and then we didn't mention it, but I was always a little puzzled when I was a newcomer, who was that young lady? Gu Sheng was obviously not with Miss on the day he went missing, where did he go?
The pale green letter, the third son returned it to me, and it is still in my hand, but I don't know if I should give it to Gu Sheng now.
From time to time, when I went to Zijin Street to buy steamed buns, I spread fine linen or other rags on the grate, passing by Hengshunxiang Silk Village, I could always see Gu Sheng leaning on the door frame, his face was pale and thin, and he was the same as when he was grounded by his mother, I saw him staring blankly at the street, occasionally there was a woman in green, his eyes couldn't help but light up, but then it darkened again.
Gu Sheng seemed to be very frustrated, and I didn't know what to say to him, so I just laughed and didn't say much.
Take the letter and ask Longjing: "Do you think this should be given to Mr. Gu?" Mr. Gu seemed to be lonely and unhappy, looking frustrated. β
Long Jing picked up the letter and tossed it away, and said with a smile: "I can't give up my love when I see this sour show, but I don't know what happened to the woman in green." β
I said: "The two of them said that they wouldn't meet, but I think it's still a lot of trouble." And he stretched out his hand to snatch it.
Who knew that Longjing was thrown high, but he didn't give it to me, and said with a smile: "You said that on the stage, there are many lovers who eventually become dependents, or do Lao Yan fly more?" β
I thought about it for a while and said, "After careful calculation, there are many lovers who eventually become dependents?" β
Long Jing shook his head: "Zhang Sheng still abandoned Cui Yingying, and Sima Xiangru almost lost Zhuo Wenjun." β
I wondered: "In the play, they finally got married?" β
Long Jing smiled: "That's a lie to children." β
I asked again: "Even if it's a lie, isn't it a man and a woman, Mr. Gu and that miss, but Miss wants to cut off contact." β
Long Jing pouted: "What does the child know, this kind of thing, it's not the men and women on that side, it's not good for outsiders to say anything." "It seems that I have a lot of tongues. It's strange, you obviously mentioned the matter first, and then it fell on my head. I puffed out my cheeks and said nothing.
Long Jing used his slender fingertips to spin the letter like a spinning top, and said with a smile: "This time, why don't I be the old man under the moon." And he threw it away, and it was gone.
This Longjing always thinks I'm troublesome, but in fact, he himself is not too much. I thought to myself.
The next day, I saw Gu Sheng at the door of the shop.
His eyes were red and swollen, and he was pale and haggard. When he saw me, it was like seeing a savior, and he bowed to me busily: "Please ask the girl to do me a favor!"
I hurriedly helped him up: "Mr. Gu, don't dare to be a plum cabbage!" Isn't it a letter? I'll just send you plum vegetables. β
Gu Sheng left with great gratitude, I knew that if I put the letter in Huang Bo's bamboo basket, someone would come to pick it up, but I don't know if the young lady would come.
When it's ugly, the reeds swing.
Gu Sheng was already waiting here, back and forth, walking around, and the soles of his boots were afraid that they would have to grind a layer down.
Long Jing laughed and said, "If you put a stone mill on him at this moment, it is better to discipline and grind beans than a donkey."
Melon slices clapped his hands and laughed, I ignored him, just waiting for the green light to come.
Half an hour has passed, and half of the ugly time has been exhausted.
Long Jing was impatient, and said in disappointment: "It turns out that the female in Tsing Yi is so angry, this female, she has to be hypocritical, for fear that she is not hypocritical, and the male thinks she is boring."
I asked, "Didn't that young lady say that she was ashamed of her origin?" This Mr. Gu just asked, he was so angry. β
Longjing said: "Humanity is a needle in a woman's heart, you will know it when you grow up."
I thought to myself, it's really not good for this adult to be so troublesome.
The green light is coming!
Sure enough, one in front and one behind, one big and one small, it was clearly the pair of young ladies and maids!
It turns out that this young lady also misses Gu Sheng!
I was happy, and I just hoped that these two people would be reunited.
Gu Sheng was in a hurry to go, as if he wanted to shake Miss's hand, but Miss took a step back: "Childe called me, I came, Childe has any advice, I will go after listening."
It seems that the young lady has not completely deflated, and is still cold.
Gu Sheng was so anxious that he rubbed his hands: "I don't understand your heart!" Last time there was a misunderstanding, I ......"
The young lady interrupted Gu Sheng and sneered, "Aren't you afraid?"
Gu Sheng's face changed: "What are you afraid of?"
The young lady said, "Didn't you already suspect in your heart that I am not human?"
But seeing that Gu Sheng grabbed the young lady's hand: "How can you trust the words of a monk!" β
The young lady sneered: "What if I am really not human? β
Gu Sheng hurriedly said: "Then I don't care, whether you are a sister, a demon, or a ghost, I only want you." β
The young lady seemed to smile and said, "Now you are not afraid?" β
Gu Sheng said: "Yiren is on the side, why be afraid? β
The young lady said: "You are not afraid, there are people who are afraid." β
Gu Sheng smiled: "Afraid? What do those worldly eyes do? But I will not fear anything with you. β
The young lady looked sad: "I'm afraid it's too late." β
Gu Sheng hurriedly asked, "What's the delay?" β
The young lady said: "Your heart, I understand, is enough, not in vain for us to have a fellowship." β
Gu Sheng was shocked: "What is enough?" I only recognize you in this life! β
The young lady's eyes were bright, as if with tears in her eyes: "No matter what, fate has arrived, and this is also fate." β
Gu Sheng said resolutely: "I don't believe that, without you in this life, why bother to die, when I serve my mother to the end of my life, what is the love of rolling red dust!" β
The young lady burst into tears and smiled: "That's enough, that's enoughγγγγγγ And said: "I can't hide it, but I am not human, but when I saw that you were in love, I was delusional, and I was willing to be a mortal with you, but it is a pity that I was one step late, but I have no regrets." Then he took off Jin Chuan and said: "Now that you have sold Jin Chuan, you can hire a wife, you have the life of an official eunuch, after all, I am suffering from my background, I really do not have this blessing, from now on, you should only have fellowship with me, just a dream!" Then he turned to leave.
Gu Sheng hurriedly grabbed the corner of the young lady's clothes: "I don't care if you are a human or not, I will not marry you in this life!" β
The young lady smiled back, and disappeared with the maid, only Jin Chuan fell to the ground.
I saw a herring turn over in the water, and a bud of an unblooming lotus flower trembled slightly and disappeared.
Gu Sheng shouted, "I don't know your name yet!" β
I only heard a faint voice reply: "Creek fishγγγγγγγ From then on, no matter how Gu Sheng called, there was no more voice.
I hurriedly asked Longjing: "Why isn't Miss Xiyu with Gu Sheng?" β
Long Jing said: "I'm afraid that the fish in the stream will not live long." β
"What?" I was taken aback.
Longjing said: "That stream fish sucks people's essence and cultivates every night, I also know, but they are all greedy and lustful people, I have not pursued it, she should have cultivated perfectly, and she was born with this catastrophe, she originally intended to abandon cultivation and be an ordinary person, but it is a pity that she was angry with this Gu Sheng, and she actually leaked her essence, but she was afraid that her life would not be long, and now it is like this, and it should be like this." β
I grabbed Long Jing: "Can't you save her?" β
Longjing said: "This brook fish only clings to a letter, which is pitiful. However, the cause of all things, how can I give birth to disturb it, and let her go. β
It turns out that this is the sentence "When you wait for him, whether you cultivate or not, what does it matter." β
I asked again: "Where did Gu Sheng go when he got lost that day?" β
Long Jing smiled: "You only go to ask Li Houde, it's right." β
It seems that Gu Sheng finished delivering the letter and met Li Daochang! It must have been Daochang Li who told him that the brook fish was a demon, so he hid in fright, and plucked up the courage to ask, who knew that the brook fish was so strong that he missed a good marriage.
Who is to blame?
A few days later, when I saw the little third son go to school, I said hello, and the little third son smiled and said, "Let me tell you, our Mr. Gu is back to teach!" β
"Huh?" I wondered, "How did you come back?" β
Xiao Sanzi said: "I said that I would take the exam in the future, but I can't lose my knowledge, and ah~" Xiao Sanzi approached me and said: "It is said that I can't forget the fox, and I have to go to see the reeds of the Rouge River every day!" β
I don't know Gu Sheng, but are you waiting for the brook fish girl?
When summer comes, the fragrance of lotus flowers blows along the wind, and I don't know if Gu Shengke is still holding the golden chuan.
In summer, the Rouge River is full of pink and bright lotus flowers, lotus leaves are pavilions, dancing with the wind, and there is fragrance everywhere.
The japonica rice is carefully boiled in the casserole, the bowl is spread with tender lotus leaves, the porridge is poured in, the porridge will become a light green, and there is a light lotus fragrance, add honey, order the hawthorn cake, take the ice water in the ice cellar for a town, it is the summer sought-after, and the sour plum soup goes hand in hand with the summer lotus leaf porridge.
In the hot summer, the sister in the boudoir, the guests who are tired of eating big fish and meat, love a bowl of chilled lotus leaf porridge, saying that they love the fragrance.
Before dawn, I took advantage of the cool to pick some lotus leaves, the lotus leaves rolled a little water droplets, and occasionally there were fish under the water to make a little splash, which was very beautiful.
After picking enough tender lotus leaves, the sky was already bright, I touched a few copper coins in my clothes, and thought that it would be better to go to Grandma Liu to drink a bowl of sweet soy milk.
Walking to the street, the early vendors have already set up stalls to do business, and from a distance, I saw Grandma Liu wiping her hands with an apron, smiling to welcome customers.
I was just about to pass by, when someone suddenly grabbed me, and when I looked back, it was a girl about my age, staring at me with round black eyes, looking at me dressed up, like a maid in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion.
I turned around and said, "Little sister, is there something wrong?" β
The maid stared at me and said, "I recognize you, you are the plum cabbage of the dim sum shop." When I speak to you, will you believe? β
I smiled and said, "The young lady is so strange, but is it a new maid from the Yanyu Pavilion?" β
The maid didn't answer, but just grabbed my clothes and didn't let go: "If I tell you that I can see things that others can't, can you trust me?" β
