Chapter 69: Mountains and Waters Are Long Without Waves (Medium)
The people went out of the rolling garden and parted ways under the stairs on the porch outside.
Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Yu helped Zhuang Wei left and right to the outer courtyard of the hall. Cao Yingguan led Su Yuan, Zhang Lang, Young Master Tong and other masters and servants to the side hall to welcome guests. Zhuang Ju led Zhuang Ying, Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Jue, Zhuang Ying, Zhuang Yu, Yu Qi, Jin Shu and others to the back garden hall to see the old lady and others.
From the porch to the back garden, Yu Qiju followed behind, and did not look too carefully at today's scene. Later, A Yuyan said that the marriage in this village is indeed different from ordinary people. Ayu saw that all the pavilions and pavilions were hung with red tents, and all the corners of the corridor were hung with lanterns of various colors, or lacquered wood wedding lanterns, or ivory bone lamps, or brocade yarn palace lamps, all kinds of things*, shapes, shapes, and extremes.
When they go to the back garden, it's all about the layout.
Entering from the garden door, all the red paper is pasted, sprinkled with gold ink, and the inscription of the happy couplet is also written in gold ink. At the door, gold stools were erected on both sides, and gold basins were placed, and the basins were filled with pure water, and covered with red silk cloth; Then there was a high golden stool, on which a pot of fashionable fruits was placed. In addition, there are countless red potted plants, and the pots are either gold or jade covers. There was a splendid red carpet all over the floor.
When I arrived at the inner garden, I heard a hundred birds singing everywhere, auspicious and cheerful. Through the tulle, I vaguely saw larks, magpies, emerald birds, winged birds, butterfly birds, phoenix songs, Dapeng Fei and so on. They are all mascots that ordinary people can't see.
Then, the laughter of the old lady and others was heard from afar. Walking inside, I saw the old lady sitting in the hall, and old Fujin was also sitting with the old lady in the middle of the hall. The Qin family is the leader, the Cao family is accompanied by the left seat, and the first person to sit is the wife of the Tong Mansion, who is the mother of the young master Tong; The county lord and aunt are in the right-hand seat, and the head is Mrs. Zhangfu, who is the mother of Jinshu. The aunts stood up, diligently grabbing the girls' work and offering tea to everyone.
As soon as Zhuang Qi and the other girls came in, Zhu'er and other girls came out to greet the girls.
The girls then saluted the old lady, Lao Fujin and other guest wives.
Suddenly, the girls stood behind their aunts in an orderly manner.
The old lady asked, "Are all your brothers gone?" ”
Zhuang Xuan reported everyone to the report. When the old lady heard this, she praised her very much, and asked, "I have also arrived with the wife in the house." ”
Zhu'er went out and whispered a few words to the girl outside the door. Later, when the crowd gathered around to say something, a few more guests came to their homes, came in and sat down, talking and laughing.
Lao Fujin said: "Rushing your eldest young master past the main family, it should be the second girl in the second mansion." ”
The old lady frowned and said, "You always remember her, and you want me to say that your grandson has not taken the lead yet." Wait for him, and then do the second girl. After all, Pu'er is older than the second girl, so she should be ahead of him. ”
Old Fujin glanced at the county lord with a kind smile before he said to the old lady: "You always worry about the same as me." I have been looking forward to it for many years, but there has been no movement. Now, I don't like to talk about them much. Just now I saw your second girl so smart, I feel sorry for her, do a good thing early, I will find another sip of good wine. Wouldn't you be happy? ”
As he spoke, everyone laughed, Zhuang Xuan's face was flushed, and he was embarrassed to hide behind the sisters. Mrs. Tong Fu smiled and bowed to the old lady and Lao Fujin and thanked her.
Cao said: "Fu Jin praised her." With her temperament, she is afraid that she will bully the eldest young master in the future. So he reached out and patted the back of Mrs. Tong's hand.
Mrs. Tong smiled: "This is called harmony." Second wife, why should you and I worry. ”
Cao Shi nodded and smiled, and said, "Don't I didn't remind you, in the future, you will treat you because you have a stomach." Don't be sorry for me, don't complain that I can't teach. I will not take back the water that my married daughter spilled. ”
The crowd laughed again.
Because he took turns to talk about the relatives of the girls in various provinces, he finally went around to Yu Qi. Someone in the Hakka room of the mansion said: "I heard that a girl recognized by the Zhuang Mansion is extremely beautiful and intelligent. Can you come out and see you today? ”
Hearing this, the old lady motioned for Yu Qi to come out to greet the guests. Yu Qi went, saw the etiquette, and offered tea again.
After that, the guests took a closer look at Yu Qi, praised it, and said: "I see that the girl is no different from the daughter in the Zhuang Mansion." There is a bit of the old lady's divine legend in the eyebrows. ”
When the old lady and the county lord heard this, they were slightly shocked.
Yu Qi knew that these words were flattering, and after all, they sounded a little touching, and the moment the old lady's eyebrows were furrowed, she saw it. So, Yu Qi explained with a smile: "The ancients said that if you eat with the eaves, you will be able to look like each other over time." It is also a blessing that I cultivated in my previous life, and I can get this grace from my wife and old lady. ”
Mrs. Zhangfu said in a harmonious voice: "Our Jin girl said that the girl is very affectionate, and today I look at it, my voice and smile are as outstanding as the girls in the house." He also said that the girl had such a chivalrous heart, I think, when the eldest lady was young, she was like this! ”
Mrs. Zhangfu praised Yulu, complimented the whole mansion in one bite, and single-handedly promoted the Qin family. Qin Shi was naturally embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Where can I compare with the girls now, at that time, we knew how to be narrow and didn't have much academic knowledge, Mrs. Zhang said this, which made me ashamed." ”
Mrs. Tong Fu said: "What is the shame of this, without the protection of your elders, where are the girls in such a state condition today?" Look at the second wife, who doesn't know if she can control the entire Zhuang Mansion? The daughter who was transferred out has just seen it smartly. It can be seen that the people in front of the old lady are all amazing. ”
The women lifted up one another and laughed with joy. Yu Qi stood there, bored to listen to and sad to smell. Then he gave another salute and wanted to go back. At that time, the girl outside came to spread the word that the wife and young master of the Hefu were coming, and after a while, they reported that the guests were coming, and the lord invited the ladies and grandmothers to sit in the courtyard of the front hall.
After hearing this, Cao raised his hand to let the girl go down, and got up first to invite the old lady and the old Fujin.
Everyone was busy going out, and the old lady called Yu Qi at this time: "Girl, come!" ”
When Yu Qi heard that he was greeting himself, he went to support the old lady.
The old lady put one hand on the back of her hand and patted it gently. The county lord helped the old Fujin to follow. Everyone swept out of the back garden hall and headed for the front hall.
When I arrived in the front hall, it was already a joyous scene, and many guests and relatives came. The male guests gathered in the hall, drinking tea and talking. The ladies sat in a heap outside the courtyard. Seeing the old lady and others coming, guests inside and outside came to greet them.
After that, the old lady asked the old man to accompany the guests in the hall, and sat in the courtyard with the female dependents.
Yu Qi felt bored, got up and walked away at will, because the courtyard of Zhuanghu was quiet, so he walked over there. Sanxi was sharp-eyed, and when he saw that the girl had gone, he grabbed Ayu and followed.
Turn a corner and keep up with Yu Qi.
Sanxi said: "Where is the girl?" ”
Yu Qi didn't reply to her, walked a few steps, and saw that Ayu was also there, so he said, "I'm not sensible, why did I pull the jade girl together?" ”
Ayu said: "I don't know those people well, and I want to go out for a walk." ”
Saying this, Yu Qi smiled, took Ayu's hand, and walked inside casually. Red hanging lights can be seen everywhere, which is extremely festive.
Yu Qi thought in his heart, I am afraid that there is no place here that is not like this.
I lost my mind as I walked, so I sat down under a porch.
I just wanted to tell Ayu about Mr. Guan, but before I could speak, I happened to hear someone talking behind a rockery outside the corridor.
I saw a stern voice and said: "Shameless things, I tell the big girl to go, you have a good life." Today is a happy event for the uncle, not for you! And the face to beg me! ”
Then I heard a few sounds, guessed it was a pull, and knelt down.
Then a crying and pleading voice came out, "Sister, you hold up your noble hand." We will repay you as cattle and horses in the future. Help us cover up. ”
When Yu Qi, Sanxi, and Ayu heard that something strange was happening behind the rockery, they wanted to get up and avoid it. I didn't know that when I got up, the people behind the rockery came out.
Yu Qi casually saw that the person who came out was none other than the girl who served Zhuang Yu earlier.
When she saw Yu Qi, she was stunned, smiled, and gave Yu Qi a deep salute, saying, "Hello girl." ”
Yu Qi was shocked in his heart, wasn't he kicked out? Why are you still here? I was puzzled, but I still laughed and responded. When I was about to leave, I heard Zhuang Di's voice: "I said that I can't find my sister anywhere, it turns out that my sister and Sister Ayu are hiding from us here." ”
Immediately after, Zhuang Jue ran in.
When he heard Zhuang Yu, he was caught off guard and wanted to hide. How do you know that Zhuang Yu can see it at a glance.
Zhuang Jueyuan greeted Yu Qi, changed the direction and went to the Ran, looked at her in surprise and said, "Ran? ”
I couldn't dodge it, so I bowed my head and saluted.
Yu Qi smiled and turned to leave, Zhuang Yu hurriedly stopped: "Sister, don't go!" ”
Zhuang Jue saw that Yu Qi was not leaving, and then said to Yu Yan again: "Why are you here?" ”
Su Yan sneered: "No, the master still cares about me in his heart!" ”
Zhuang Jue said: "I said that you went out, I asked people to look for it, but I didn't find it." ”
He gritted his teeth, tears fell, and he looked at Yu Qi resentfully, and said, "Why didn't you ask Miss Qi?" The master said that it is ridiculous, and the people over there are now grandmothers. I haven't gone out after all, so I'm disappointed. ”
Zhuang Jue explained: "You want to talk nonsense! Since you're still here, come back and serve me! ”
He said, "Master, I have served you since I was a child. Dedication? ”
Zhuang Jue nodded, seeing her crying, she was also distressed, and gave her a handkerchief.
He didn't answer, and said with a smile: "The eldest girl kept me." If you still feel sorry for my love for serving you since childhood, help me keep seeing me today. I'm thankful. ”
After speaking, he gave Zhuang Yu a deep salute, and then beckoned to the back of the rockery and said, "What are you still hiding?" Let's go! ”
Now, I saw a girl with tears on her face and shrunk from behind the rockery. In the blink of an eye, she left the corner with the girl. Zhuang Jue wanted to chase, but he couldn't let go of Yu Qi, so he walked back to Yu Qi.
Zhuang Jue said: "My sister didn't leave? ”
The corners of Yu Qi's mouth smiled slightly, and he didn't have the slightest intention of responding.
Zhuang Jue chased after her again and grabbed her: "My sister already knew, why didn't she tell me?" You see her heart is like this again, it's a strange sister. ”
Yu Qi suddenly felt aggrieved, and said coldly: "What do you have to do with me." ”
Zhuang Yu was stunned.
Sanxi also helped: "The heart is too poisonous, and the mouth is blaming us girls!" Our girl is going to do something for her. I don't know what I did, I was arrested, and the crime was deducted from our girl's head. The third master met him today, and he also said that he wronged our girl. ”
Zhuang tortoise squirts.
At that time, there was a lot of noise outside, and the guests shouted that the bride was coming.
Yu Qi couldn't wait to see Huiyuan at this moment, wiped the corners of his eyes, turned his smile and went out. Zhuang Yu was stunned in place, uncertain to stay.
And around the corner, he didn't leave, he stuck to the wall and eavesdropped, and when he heard Sanxi's words, he gritted his teeth with hatred, his hand was clenched tightly, his eyes were angry and discharged, and tears continued. Hearing Zhuang Jue's sigh, there was heavy footsteps again, and Zhuang Jue chased him out.
Suddenly he flashed out quickly, trying to stop Zhuang Ting, but Zhuang Ying was gone.
He said to himself hatefully: "Jinghua thank me for not being able to move you, grandma is coming to Dongfu, don't blame me for moving her!" All the blame is your retribution for treating me like this. ”
After saying that, he covered his mouth and cried, and left with resentment.
