The moon rose and shone on the bustling city of Kyoto. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The door of Wu's mansion was open, the lantern was faintly lit, and the housekeeper and mother-in-law stood at the gate of the courtyard, quietly waiting for the carriage to arrive.

Jiang He sat in the carriage and meditated quietly, the roads in this city are always wide and flat for people to feel comfortable.

Hu Xiaoliu is still wearing a plain white gown, with a clean and tidy neckline.

Jiang He was also wearing a white green coat, which was ordered in the store after coming to Kyoto City, and he was never willing to wear it.

"Master Jiang, did you still bring a gift?"

Hu Xiaoliu crossed Erlang's legs, looked at the painting scroll wrapped in red rope behind Jiang He, and said softly.

He raised his hand and tapped on his calf, which was a little sore, and felt that the carriage was uncomfortable, but it was better to walk on his own.

Jiang He opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, "You didn't bring it?"

"Of course!" Hu Xiaoliu replied disappreciatively.

"It's not the first time I've gone to Mr. Wu's house to eat, and besides, he doesn't like these tunes. ”

Jiang He smiled lightly when he heard this, and shook his head.

"It's my first time. ”

The carriage staggered forward, and Jiang He closed his eyes again, this painting was not for Wu Boss, but for Wu Xiaobei.

....

"Mother, do I look good in this dress?"

"Good looking. ”

"Can you help me see if my hair is messy?"

"Nope. ”

"Oh, would you like to have a snack?"

Wu Xiaobei turned his head to look at his mother behind him, the fat lady leaned against the door helplessly, and then said, "Good daughter, don't get it, you won't be able to recognize it when you dress up later." ”

Wu Xiaobei glared disappreciatively, then picked up the rouge lipstick and gently wiped it on his lips.

The fat lady sighed again and said, "What if you dress so carefully, if someone else doesn't like to look at it at all." ”

"Love to see it or not, who said that I dressed up to show him?"

"And who are you dressing up for?"

"Those who love to watch watch. ”

Wu Xiaobei was about to continue to speak, but the maid had already run in with a long skirt.

"Miss, the sixth master's carriage has arrived. ”

Wu Xiaobei was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly stood up, put down the lipstick in his hand, and then carefully picked up the bronze mirror on the table and took a look, and then walked slowly to the door when he was satisfied.

The fat lady shook her head and followed Wu Xiaobei out of the door.

...

"Master Jiang, you go ahead. ”

"Why?"

"Oh, why don't you go, ask so much. ”

Jiang He looked at Hu Xiaoliu puzzled, and suddenly felt that the uncle in front of him who was not afraid of heaven and earth was a little inexplicably nervous, he smiled slightly, and then straightened the corner of his wrinkled clothes and strode towards the courtyard gate.

The housekeeper greeted the two with a smile, bowed slightly and said, "Master Jiang, Sixth Master, please." ”

Jiang He nodded at the housekeeper, smiled a little nervously, and then followed the housekeeper to the courtyard.

To be honest, he was a little nervous, this was the first time he had attended this kind of banquet, and he was afraid of breaking the etiquette. In the afternoon, he also consulted Hu Xiaoliu, but Hu Xiaoliu only told him one thing.

"Feel free to do it, just in my little shop. ”

Jiang He shook his head slightly, thinking to himself as if I was casually in your little shop, but I was shrinking behind me.

I have to say that the courtyard of the Wu family is really too wide, entering from the gate, the courtyard is tortuous, and there is still a world after bypassing the barrier of the house.

The green tiles and white bricks are neatly spread, and the green grass and trees and purple and red flowers are dotted with ranks, but even so, it looks a little deserted. Because there are not a few maids in this huge garden. But when I think about it, I am relieved, after all, he is a man of the year in Kyoto City, and the fewer cronies left around, the better.

Bypassing the small courtyard, there is actually a small lake, and the small lake is full of zigzag corridors, and several pavilions stand in the middle of the lake. The lake is planted with lotus flowers and bamboos. There are lanterns hanging on the small corridor, reflecting the lotus flowers and waterfowl in the lake, which is very natural and wonderful.

Jiang He walked behind the housekeeper, couldn't stop looking around, and then secretly said: "The ancients didn't deceive me, this is really rich and timid." ”

Jiang He has never seen such a luxurious courtyard, no, it can't be called a courtyard at all. Your own painting house can be called a courtyard, this is simply a park.

A gray waterfowl suddenly came from the corner of the small corridor and stopped in front of Jiang He, startling Jiang He.

Hu Xiaoliu walked over with a smile, took out the dried fish from nowhere and handed it to the water bird.

Jiang He came back to his senses and saw that the water bird was just a fat and huge big duck with gray and green miscellaneous hairs, and after the hemp duck ate the dried fish in Hu Xiaoliu's hand, he stretched out his colorful neck and looked at Jiang He, and the color of his feathers was messy and ugly.

Jiang He was stunned for a moment, as if he saw a puzzled expression in the eyes of the big duck, he hurriedly blinked, and then looked at the small round eyes of the hemp duck, but then did not see a trace of strange expression.

Hu Xiaoliu smiled and gently touched the head and neck of the big duck, then pointed to Jiang He and said, "Brother Hua, this is Jiang Ye, who is here as a guest today, and it will be a family in the future." ”

Jiang He looked at Hu Xiaoliu puzzled, could it be that he was introducing himself to this huge hemp duck?

Then what stunned Jiang He even more was that the big duck nodded as if he understood Hu Xiaoliu's words, and then spread his wings and flew towards the center of the lake. That's right, it flew over.

Jiang He turned his head, and then said to Hu Xiaoliu: "This... Brother Hua is a swan?"

"No, it's not. ”

"Then he can fly?!"

"Ducks can't fly?"

Jiang He was speechless, only in his heart he regarded this big gray duck as a swan, well, he had also heard the story of the ugly duckling. It must have been a swan that hadn't grown up.

"He's Brother Hua, next time you come and bring him some dried fish, he will be very happy. ”

Hu Xiaoliu pointed to the hemp duck that was leaning his neck and learning to cry loudly from a hungry wolf, and introduced it seriously.

"Huh. . . Jiang He looked at the duck brother and didn't know how to answer.

Jiang He thought to himself that the White Dragon Gang was really a bunch of wonderful, and even ducks could be so unique.

"Eh, Miss is here!" Hu Xiaoliu suddenly poked Jiang He's waist and woke up Jiang He in a daze.

A pretty figure is coming from the gazebo in the distance, but it is a little far away, and the light is chaotic, so it is not real.

...

Wu Xiaobei walked very slowly, she didn't want to run fast, otherwise the beads on her head would run away later.

She didn't know whether to run or not, the figures in the distance were getting closer and closer, some camel old housekeepers, Hu Xiaoliu who walked swaying, then the one who was not tall or thin and walked behind must be Jianghe, right?

What should I say when we meet? Long time no see?

No, no, it's so vulgar.

Wu Xiaobei smiled suddenly, a little nervous, her steps were very slow, step by step, leaving a burst of fragrance behind her.

Finally getting closer and closer, Wu Xiaobei felt as if she had walked a long way, she squeezed her sweaty hands, but she didn't want to wipe them on this beautiful dress.

So she put her hands behind her back and took a big step forward.

"Jianghe, hello!"

Wu Xiaobei still said this sentence naturally, it was just a simple greeting.

She blinked with bright eyes, her long lashes gently shaving.

Hello, it means not very familiar, but not so unfamiliar. It's like the greeting on the official road outside Kyoto that day, but the tone has changed, and the meaning is different.

took a big step forward, and his waist would naturally not be so straight, Wu Xiaobei could only tilt his head and look up at Jiang He, a little playful and cute.

didn't say goodbye for a long time, it was just a simple reunion, Wu Xiaobei laughed, like a child who got candy.

Jiang He also laughed, leaking out the row of white teeth.

"Ahem. ”

Hu Xiaoliu clenched his fists and coughed, glanced at Jiang He meaningfully, and then followed the old housekeeper with his hands behind his back and walked forward.

So there were only two people left on the small corridor, and the noisy big duck in the distance.

A gentle breeze blew, dissolving the thoughts that were wrapped around his hair. Wu Xiaobei took a step back, then stood up straight, looking at the river in front of him with his hands behind his back.

"Jianghe, you lied to me again. ”

"Huh?"

Jiang He was puzzled and looked at Wu Xiaobei in confusion.

Wu Xiaobei was wearing a green neon dress, his hair was delicately tied in a good-looking bun, an emerald green hairpin hung with a few translucent white pearls, and a soft tulle ribbon was draped over his shoulders.

Jiang He suddenly felt that Wu Xiaobei was like a beautiful woman who came out of a painting.

Then he remembered Wu Xiaobei, who looked like a beggar that day, and suddenly laughed.

"What are you laughing at, I said you lied to me!"

Wu Xiaobei glared at Jiang He angrily, and his eyebrows were frowning beautifully.

"Uh... Didn't laugh at anything, what did I lie to you?"

"You said you would come to see me in Kyoto City. ”

Jiang He scratched his head, and then said, "Aren't I coming?"

Wu Xiaobei suddenly hugged his hand in front of him, and then turned sideways and said angrily: "Hmph, if my father doesn't invite you, will you come?"

"Uh... ”

Jiang He suddenly didn't know how to answer, he couldn't say that he didn't have time for things, or that he didn't dare to come?

He looked at Wu Xiaobei's puffed face, smiled slightly, and then handed the scroll behind him to Wu Xiaobei in front of him.

"For you. ”

Wu Xiaobei, who was still puffing up at the last moment, immediately turned his face curiously when he heard the voice, then looked at the painting scroll handed by Jiang He, and asked, "What is this?"

"Draw!"

Jiang He grinned again, his white teeth and his small eyes looked innocent, oh no, silly.

Wu Xiaobei took the scroll with a smile, and then asked with a smile, "Can I take it apart and take a look?"

Jiang He nodded.

Wu Xiaobei gently dismantled the red silk thread on the painting scroll, and then slowly unfolded the painting, which was not long, only more than two feet. The content is also very simple, just a girl sitting quietly in front of the window, holding a blue-black chess piece in her hand, and a chessboard in front of her.

The girl in the painting is Wu Xiaobei, with long black hair and pretty eyebrows, as if thinking about a not simple question.

Wu Xiaobei gently hugged the painting, then blinked his big eyes and asked, "Didn't you paint one for me?"

Jiang He smiled, and then replied: "That one is not seriously drawn, it is not good-looking." ”

Wu Xiaobei laughed happily, very satisfied with Jiang He's answer, and then she carefully rolled up the painting scroll in her hand and looked at Jiang He in front of her happily.

Jiang He was stared at by her, but he was a little overwhelmed, so he had to turn his head slightly in embarrassment, and then looked at the ducks in the lake.

"Jiang He, I heard that you took the top exam. ”

"Huh?" Jiang He turned his head to look at Wu Xiaobei, then nodded lightly and said, "It's just a fluke." ”

"That's amazing, I thought you were joking. ”

Jiang He smiled a little embarrassedly.

The evening breeze was blowing, the frogs were chirping, and the lantern above his head shone on Wu Xiaobei's face, glowing with a beautiful and moving red.

Wu Xiaobei raised his head to look at Jiang He, and then laughed happily again, leaking a pair of sharp little tiger teeth.

"I've been working hard lately, so it's best not to draw me at the Ivy League!"

Jiang He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed, and he nodded seriously at Wu Xiaobei.

"Don't let me beat you down then. ”

"Hey, of course not. ”

An evening breeze blew and gently brushed the cheeks of the two teenagers and girls.

There was a burst of singing in the distance, like the gentle voice of the singer by the river supporting the restless heart of the passerby, Jiang He looked at the beautiful carved railing and the lotus flowers in the distance and Wu Xiaobei's long eyelashes, and suddenly felt a little tired, as if he had unconsciously fallen into the endless and gentle net.

It's so disorganized.....
