Chapter 10: Letters

In the early morning of the second day, in the Lin Mansion, the female gentleman was still sitting in the middle hall on time, waiting for Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan to come to study.

Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan also appeared at the door of the atrium on time, the two entered the courtyard, and when they walked into the atrium, they saw two zithers on the table.

When the lady saw them come in, she looked at them with a smile.

"Today you are going to learn the guzheng, you stand next to me first, and I will teach you to recognize the sound first. When the two heard this, they obediently stood next to the female gentleman and learned.

"You two watch how I play first, and then practice on your own. After speaking, the female gentleman played the same song on the guzheng again, and Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan also studied it seriously.

After the female gentleman finished playing, he let Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan practice by themselves, this time Lin Hongwan played well, maybe she has some talent in this area, she plays very well, Mo Xuelian plays even better, the song is melodious and tactful, which makes people unconsciously immersed in it when they listen to it.

At this time, in Qiu's mansion, Qiu Yu returned to the mansion since he saw Mo Xuelian again in the bazaar, the corners of his mouth were always smiling unconsciously, and he was always thinking about Mo Xuelian's voice and smile in his mind, he sat at the table and thought for a long time, so he found a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and drew Mo Xuelian's portrait on the blank scroll.

After he painted for about a few hours, Mo Xuelian's portrait painting jumped on the paper, and Qiu Yu looked at the portrait for a long time.

"It's still not good at painting, and I can't fully show your voice and smile. ”

Then, Qiu Yu called two subordinates and looked at the two subordinates.

"Look at this portrait, remember what she looks like, and then you go to the vicinity of the Lin Mansion every day during the day, and if you see the woman in the portrait leaving the house, and then see where she has gone, come back and inform me, remember, don't get too close to the Lin Mansion, and don't let anyone know about it. ”

After hearing this, the two subordinates nodded obediently and retreated, then left the Qiu Mansion and walked in the direction of the Lin Mansion.

After Qiu Yu and the other two villains left, he carefully collected Mo Xuelian's portrait in the drawer at the bottom of the table, and then continued to do other things with confidence.

The reason why Qiu Yu asked people to guard near the Lin Mansion was also to know more about Mo Xuelian without disturbing her, and because he didn't know what identity Mo Xuelian lived in the Lin Mansion, so he didn't dare to come to the door to disturb, for fear of adding unnecessary trouble to Mo Xuelian.

In Chen's mansion, after Chen Hongsheng got up in the morning, he thought that the girl Sun Yueling was not only kind-hearted yesterday, but also willing to help some people who went to the rivers and lakes to perform and had a hard life, and she also looked like a fairy in the sky, so she couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy, and wanted to have more contact with this Sun girl.

Thinking of this, he walked to the table, studied the ink, took up the pen, and wrote a letter, and then he called a servant and handed the letter to the servant, along with the special jade pendant that only the five great families had.

"You go and send this letter to the Sun Mansion, one of the five great families, to Miss Sun Yueling, and three days later, go to the Sun Mansion again at the same time to retrieve the letter. ”

"Got it, young master. The two servants put the jade pendant and the letter in their bosoms and withdrew, leaving the Chen Mansion.

"Excuse me, what's the matter? When the servant came to the gate of the Sun Mansion, the doorman of the Sun Mansion asked.

"My young master has a letter to deliver to Miss Sun Yueling. ”

"Then you wait, I'll go to Miss Tongchuan. “

"Please wait a minute, I have a jade pendant here. Then, as he spoke, he took the jade pendant and the letter out of his arms, and handed the jade pendant to the doorman, who took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, knowing that this was a special jade pendant only available to the five great families.

"Since you have a jade pendant, you don't need to pass it on, you can come in with me. He looked respectful to the servant, and the servant followed the doorman into Sun's house.

When they reached Sun Yueling's courtyard, they saw Miss Sun Yueling talking and laughing with her maid, and the doorman and the servant walked into the courtyard.

"Miss, someone wants to send you a letter, and this jade pendant for you to see. ”

After hearing this, Sun Yueling glanced at the person behind the doorman, and then took the jade pendant and looked at it.

"Okay, I see, you go down first. The doorman nodded and turned to leave.

Sun Yueling saw that there was a character on the jade pendant that looked very similar to her jade pendant, and then looked at the servant.

"Bring the letter to me. ”

So, the servant stepped forward and respectfully handed the letter in his hand to Sun Yueling. After Sun Yueling took the letter, she opened the envelope and looked at the contents of her heart.

Letter:

Miss Sun, when Miss was robbed yesterday, Chen Hongsheng, the person who helped you snatch the money bag back, admired Miss very much after seeing Miss yesterday, and felt that Miss was beautiful and kind, and wanted to make friends with Miss Sun, so I wanted to invite Miss Sun to go to Jingshui Lake to swim in the lake five days later.

Of course, I also think that it is inconvenient for Miss to go alone, so Miss can take your two companions yesterday to go to the lake together, and I will also take my friends to go with me.

After Sun Yueling read the letter, her face turned crimson, and she knew that Chen Gongzi was also a child of the family, the son of Uncle Chen's family, to tell her heart, her initial impression of that Chen Gongzi was still very good, and he even knew his identity, and he also had a heart.

Thinking of this, she looked at the servant, "Take this jade pendant back, you will come in three days." ”

"You go and send him out of the mansion," he said to the little maid beside him, and the servant took the jade pendant and nodded, and walked out of the Sun Mansion with the little maid.

After the servant left, Sun Yueling's good impression of Chen Hongsheng also improved, and she decided to go to the lake for an appointment.

However, she is really a little worried about how to talk to Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian about swimming in the lake, let's be honest, there are still some strange embarrassments, if you don't find them, it is really inconvenient to go alone, it is really a dilemma.

Then, as soon as she was cross-minded, she decided that it was Chen Gongzi who invited the three of them to swim in the lake, omitting the key points.

So, on the second day, Sun Yueling came to the Lin Mansion again, and was led by the doorman to the courtyard at the entrance of the middle hall of the Lin Mansion.

So, Sun Yueling told the doorman not to disturb them, I waited for them to finish their studies in the side of the courtyard, and it was not too late to go in, so the doorman asked people to move a chair and let him sit in the corner of the courtyard and wait.

Sun Yueling waited for about three hours, only to see Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian come out of the middle hall, as soon as they came out, they saw Sun Yueling sitting in the corner, so the two of them happily ran over and ran to Sun Yueling's side.

At this time, Lin Hongwan took Sun Yueling's hand, "Sister Yueling, why don't you go in and say a word when you come." ”

"I'm afraid it will disturb your studies. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's not bad to study. Lin Hongwan blinked, and Mo Xuelian also nodded in agreement.

"I'm here to talk to the two of you about something, do you remember Chen Gongzi who helped us on the day we went to the market?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

Sun Yueling then looked at Lin Hongwan with a flickering eye, "That Chen Gongzi is the son of Uncle Chen Qiyuan's family, he wants to ask the three of us to go to Jingshui Lake in four days to swim in the lake, he will also bring his friends there, let me call you, there are so many people, so I came to tell you two that you are here." ”

"Oh, he turned out to be the son of Uncle Chen's family, that's good, I haven't been to the lake for a long time, so let's go." ”

Then, she looked at Mo Xuelian, "Xuelian, you have to go too, don't go." ”

Mo Xuelian could only nod her head and agree when she heard Lin Hongwan say this.

Sun Yueling didn't think much about it when she saw Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian, so she smiled self-deprecatingly and felt that she really thought about it too much.

"I came to you four days later, and then, we met with Chen Gongzi at the Hongqing City Gate. ”

After hearing this, the two nodded at the same time in agreement, and then, after Sun Yueling finished saying this, he exchanged pleasantries with them for a while before leaving the Lin Mansion.

After Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan rested for a while, the two of them returned to the middle hall to continue to learn painting with Mr. Female, and after about three more hours, it was over today, and both of them felt a little tired, and each returned to their residence listlessly.

After Sun Yueling returned to Sun's mansion, she entered her room, then studied the ink on the table, wrote a letter to Chen Gongzi on paper, wrote it and put it away in a drawer, and waited for the servant to come to the door before bringing it back to Chen Gongzi.

Two days later, the servant came to Sun's mansion again as promised, and was led by the doorman to Sun Yueling, and after Sun Yueling handed him the letter, the servant left Sun's mansion and returned to Chen's mansion.

After returning to Chen's house, the servant handed the letter to Chen Hongsheng and left, and after the servant left, Chen Hongsheng opened the letter nervously and saw the delicate handwriting on it.

Letter:

Thank you Chen Gongzi for the invitation, I have already agreed with my two companions, they are also willing to go to the lake together, we will meet at the Hongqing City Gate in two days, and then go to the still water lake together.

After Chen Hongsheng read the letter, joy welled up in his heart, with a smile on his face, and then carefully received the letter in the drawer on the table and stored it, and then left Chen's mansion and went to the teahouse in the market to meet Han Bo and Qiu Yu who had already made an appointment.

Chen Hongsheng went to the teahouse and saw Han Bo and Qiu Yu, several people sat around the table drinking tea, and Chen Hongsheng and the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while.

"I asked Miss Sun and her two companions to go to Jingshui Lake to swim in the lake two days later, I said I would bring my friends to go with me, it is not convenient for me to be a big man and three girls, so I want the two of you to accompany me to go together, there are more people and it is not lively. ”

After Han Bo heard it, he smiled as soon as he heard that there was a girl with him, "With a girl by his side, I am naturally willing to go, I am a person who likes to join in the fun, I will accompany you." ”

Qiu Yu was not interested in hearing this, "I still have business that day, so I can't go with you, you two can swim in the lake with the girls." ”

The two of them didn't have any opinions after hearing this, knowing that he was this kind of character, and he didn't like to have more contact with women, and ordinary women couldn't get into his eyes, so they didn't say much.

Then, the three of them continued to drink tea and watch the play, at this time, the opera on the stage was singing to the wonderful, and several people laughed and applauded.

Two hours later, the three of them finished drinking tea, and after watching the play, they left the teahouse together, and then returned to their own mansions.
