Chapter 24: A Cousin Visits
Getting up at two o'clock and drinking lotus leaf tea to wake up seems to have become a daily necessity.
With continuous practice, and with it, there is also continuous progress, and the guqin music can already be played to the end.
Danqing is a great progress, but she loves to paint some modern Q version of small animals, Mr. Kong feels that this painting does not have the artistic conception of ink painting, but also feels very novel, many patterns are unheard of, unseen, but better in the simple state, very Gu Chuyue's style.
Under the strict supervision of Mr. Kong's daily classes and the practice of copying a book every day, calligraphy has a visible speed of progress, from the beginning of twisted and crooked, black ink, to the current vivid.
Burning incense pays attention to meditation, Gu Chuyue doesn't like to move, and slowly follows Mama Jin to learn, and also finds out the doorway. Flower arrangement, not to mention, she will be a little bit in modern times, coupled with Mama Zhao's careful teaching, she has also received a lot of praise from Mama, and the embroidery is also improving little by little, but the embroidered things still can't be taken.
In the end, only the course of tea opera has been stopping at ordering tea and hesitating, "If there is less tea and more soup, the clouds will be scattered; If there is less soup and more tea, then the porridge and noodles will gather", she also knows the truth, but she can't control the amount well, so that Mama Jin is happy and angry with her, happy that the incense is getting better, and angry is that she can't learn this tea opera even if she leaves.
Gu Chuyue was busy with classes during the day, went to Shouhui Hall to chat with her grandmother and recite Buddhist scriptures at night, and then went to the Tibetan Jade Pavilion to chat with her second sister Gu Fangfei under the guise of borrowing, returning, and borrowing books, so as to repair the sisterhood and enhance some feelings at the same time.
After school on this day, Gu Chuyue had just finished sending Mama Zhao off, and she heard Pearl say that Shouhuitang sent someone to wait for a long time.
As soon as Gu Chuyue heard that it was sent by her grandmother, she didn't rush back to Yinyue Garden, and asked Pearl to call people into the Ink Shop first.
"Eldest Miss, the old lady said that she has prepared dinner today, and asked you and the second lady to go over for dinner." The little maid said.
Gu Chuyue took a sip of the sweet fruit tea and said, "Have you gone to talk to the second lady?" ”
The maid replied truthfully, "If you go back to the eldest lady, the second lady was invited to the flower viewing banquet today, and before she came back, the slave maid came to tell the eldest lady first." ”
"Okay, you go back, I'll talk to the second lady in a while, and by the way, tell my grandmother, I'll go back and change my clothes." Gu Chuyue said.
The maid did as she was commanded, curtsy, and withdrew.
Out of the ink shop, Gu Chuyue walked happily, but as soon as she arrived at the corner of the garden, she saw Gu Fangfei holding an unknown flower with a tender flower in her hand.
"Second sister!" He shook his hand and shouted when there was still some distance.
When Gu Fangfei heard the voice, she looked up and saw Gu Chuyue smiling like the sun waving at her.
She snorted coldly, and was about to turn around and leave, but as soon as she turned around, Fu Hui said: "Didn't Miss specially pick the Duoyue Pill and give it to the eldest lady, the eldest lady is there." ”
Gu Fangfei turned her head and glared at Fu Yuan, and said strangely: "Tell you to talk too much." ”
Fleur covered her mouth and chuckled.
Gu Chuyue walked over, her apricot eyes were bright, and she was smiling even more happily, not at all like a person who had taken a day's class.
As soon as she walked up, she greeted, "Second sister is so coincidental." ”
When Gu Fangfei saw someone coming, she immediately frowned and said, "Big sister doesn't go back to Yinyue Garden, what do you want me to do?" ”
"Grandmother told us to go to Shouhui Hall for dinner tonight."
"Did you call me too?" Gu Fangfei has grown so old, except for the New Year's holidays and family banquets, she has never eaten alone with her grandmother, so she is a little surprised.
"yes." Gu Chuyue replied.
"Okay, I got it." Although Gu Fangfei answered calmly, she was still a little nervous in her heart, feeling that what her mother said was right, and her grandmother didn't seem to be so difficult to get along with.
"That's right......" Gu Chuyue turned around and took out the book she borrowed from Gu Fangfei yesterday from the bookbag she was holding and handed it to her, "This is the book I borrowed from you yesterday, for you." ”
Gu Fangfei didn't answer, so Fu Hui stepped forward and blessed her body and said, "The eldest lady will give the book to the slave maid." ”
Gu Chuyue thought that her second sister was still not angry, so she handed the book to Fu Yuan.
Gu Fangfei said: "If the eldest sister has nothing else to do, I will go back first, and after changing my clothes, I will go to my grandmother's place for dinner, and it will not be good for my grandmother to wait longer." ”
After speaking, he passed Gu Chuyue and left directly.
Gu Chuyue smiled helplessly.
Unexpectedly, Gu Fangfei, who had already left, suddenly stomped her feet and walked back quickly.
walked up to her and stuffed the Yuedan in his hand into her hand, and said confidently: "I picked it up on the road." ”
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Gu Chuyue stood in place, looking at the thing in her hand without being gloomy, it was a pale goose-yellow fat flower, and the layers of round and rolling double petals were very cute.
She glanced back at her second sister who was walking in a hurry, and smiled happily, after her observation these days, it seems that her second sister has forgiven her, but the action is still a little awkward.
She looked down and sniffed the fat flower, and thought it smelled very good.
It's like the moon pill in the flower.
After returning to Yinyue Garden, at Gu Chuyue's strong request, in the end, they did not change their clothes, but just combed their hair in a new bun.
Compared with the simple double flat bun in the morning, this comb is much more exquisite, wearing a set of beads and hairpins with Pisces spitting beads, and the chubby little fish on it is cute and cute, and she likes this set of jewelry very much.
After dressing up and going out, Gu Chuyue felt that she was fast enough, but after arriving at Shouhui Hall, she found that fast middle school had its own strong hand.
Gu Fangfei had already arrived, and she happened to be laughing with a smile.
In the evening, when the meal began, the old lady did not hesitate at all, and went straight to the topic: "General An's second son Zhongyi returned to the capital from a foreign country, and today Mrs. An has sent someone to send the greeting post." ”
Gu Fangfei's expression was slightly happy, she lowered her head slightly, and even the roots of her ears turned red.
Gu Chuyue didn't have the heart to notice the changes in the people next to her at all, she only felt like she was facing a great enemy, and she couldn't even laugh.
It's just that...... When she was looking at her eyes because of anxiety, she saw that the second sister next to her had red ears, and she didn't look like her usual day at all, no matter how she looked at it, she looked like she was shy, could it be......
"By seniority, you should call him cousin."
The old lady's discerning eyes had already noticed that something was wrong with Gu Fangfei, but she also felt normal, after all, she was a smart person, although she came to visit the elders, she would also see a foreign man.
Although the folk customs of Dongqi are open, it is normal for the little girl to be a little shy, but looking at the early moon, she is indeed confused, and she really doesn't know anything at all.
"Grandmother, will Cousin Zhongting and Sister Yijing also come over on a cloudy day?" Gu Fangfei raised her head and said softly, with hope in her beautiful eyes.
