Chapter 22: Difficult to meet
Looking at the high-ranking family at the door of the Anguo Mansion, in fact, there is not much exquisite luxury inside, which is incomparable to Tan Pavilion. Although Tan Ge doesn't look very ostentatious on the outside, it is really extraordinary on the inside.
After coming out for so many days, Yun Tan gradually missed Tan Ge a little, and the time of Tan Ge flowed slowly and long, and her original intention always lived in a place where she could see her. But now, although they live in the same house, they can't see each other at all.
On the day she first arrived, the old lady arranged for her to live in Jinyuan next to her, but arranged for Yuntan to live in Lingqing Courtyard, which was very far away from Jinyuan. The environment of Lingqing Courtyard is quiet and cold and elegant, surrounded by mountains and rocks, and the spring water is dingdong, but it is a good place for ingenuity, at first glance, the Guogong Mansion treats her well, but in fact, it separates her from the original heart. It's just that she didn't understand the situation when she first arrived, and she didn't know the distance between Jinyuan and Lingqing Courtyard at first, otherwise she would definitely not agree, but now that she missed that opportunity, where can she ask for an explanation?
Since they settled down, the old lady arranged for many maids and servants to give her, and she was said to be in poor health and needed to be taken care of, but in fact people looked at her to death. Eat, sleep, enjoy flowers, watch plays, and even go to the toilet, always keep up with the left and right. Every time she wants to find Chuxin, a girl comes to invite, one time she says that the old lady is lonely in the afternoon, and invites Miss Yun to sit down, and one time she says that the old lady's small kitchen has made new pastries and invites Miss Yun to taste them, there are always many excuses to block her from seeing Chuxin's way.
A few times, she quietly cast a spell to get rid of the maid around her, and ran away to Jinyuan to find her original intention in stealth, but he was not there. She walked back coyly, but heard two girls biting her ears in the Chuxin Garden, and one said: "Eh, you said that our eldest young master, he looks elegant and unworldly, and he is still a bald monk, I didn't expect it to be such a person, more motivated than Grandpa Guo!"
The other said: "No, it's only been a long time, and we have dragged our sick and crooked grandfather to visit most of the nobles of Jiangcheng." He also spoke with a look of disdain.
"It's a shame that the old lady and the grandfather of the country are so good to him, if you want to say that our grandfather of the country, it is a red man in front of the emperor's eyes, even the prince of the country has to avoid three points when he sees our grandfather, which time in the past was not someone else who stepped through the threshold with a gift, but now this young master has no regard for decency at all, and pulls the grandfather of the country around to visit other people's houses, for fear that others will not know that he is such a number one person, it is really the face of our country's mansion. ”
The more Yun Tan listened, the more angry he became, and he was about to have a seizure immediately, and suddenly remembered that he was standing in front of them incognito, wouldn't it frighten people if he showed up immediately? Fortunately, an old woman came to meet him, and reprimanded the two, and the two dispersed. Yun Tanfang knew that this old lady was the housekeeper in the Chuxin Garden, called Mama Li.
But then again, she also wondered, Chu Chu's cold personality is now actually fascinated by the drunken imperial capital? He has never been such a warm person, what is wrong with him now? Her spiritual power has always been very stable, which shows that Chu Chu has not gone far, just in Jiang Cheng, so where has he been recently? Partial to her living in such a remote area, she can't even inquire about the news before, and she doesn't know what he is doing now. It's been almost a month since she came here, and she couldn't find him, so he didn't come to her, so he promised not to leave her again, and ran away without a trace in a blink of an eye.
Although the old lady never arranged for Yun Tan to attend any occasion, the hospitality of the Guogong Mansion was very thoughtful, the three meals were delicious, the costumes were gorgeous and valuable, and the daily entertainment was also well arranged.
Yun Tan has a girl named Brother Qiao, who has a lot of experience in dressing up. Yun Tan was already proud of his beauty, and when he was dressed up by this Qiao brother, he was even more beautiful. Anyway, Yun Tan couldn't see her original intention, so she dragged Brother Qiao to dress up all day long. Today's oblique step shakes the appliqué yellow, tomorrow's hairpin peony depicts willow eyebrows, sprinkles gold flower skirt embroidered peony, light gauze shawl drags Fanghua, and pounds a good and cold Ling Qingyuan into Miss Jiang Chenggui's fat powder boudoir.
Seeing that Brother Qiao was very faceless in front of Yun Tan, the maids couldn't help but be jealous, and they intentionally or unintentionally stabbed her in private. said: "Why does Brother Yo Qiao have the leisure to get together with us today and not accompany Miss Yun?"
said: "Yes, who doesn't know that Miss Yun is the person brought back by the eldest young master, and she may be the eldest lady in the future, won't Brother Qiao ascend to heaven!"
said: "Oh, this is not necessarily, I have heard, our family has always had rules, Miss Wang Chu has been decided, let's Brother Qiao, don't pat on the horse's legs, the bamboo basket is empty!" Fortunately, she is a solid-eyed person, and she likes to study and dress up, and she doesn't work chewing her tongue, so she doesn't care much about everyone laughing.
Now it is March, the most beautiful March day in the world. The old lady was very beautiful when she was young, and she especially liked hairpins, and felt that only delicate flowers in the world could match her flower-like face. So the Anguo Mansion planted flowers and trees all over, from March to April, the flowers are in full bloom, and the purple and red are competing for beauty, and at this time of year, it will always attract the envy of many nobles in Jiangcheng. The old lady had the intention to choose a day to invite all the noble ladies to enjoy the flowers, but she was worried about An Guogong's health, An Guogong was busy with official business, and he had always been weak and sickly, and he didn't like to be noisy, so the old lady had to give up. However, there is a noble girl who has the privilege of entering the mansion to enjoy the flowers every year, and she is Chu Ye, the queen of the Wang Chu family.
If you want to talk about this Miss Wang Chu, she is the niece of the old lady's relatives, she is gentle and elegant, her demeanor is demure and elegant, and her personality is also first-class. The old lady loved her like a treasure, and only she could freely enter and leave the mansion without passing it on. In previous years, she often came and went, but in recent years, it has been like a year, and An Guogong has not yet married a wife, so it is not convenient for her to avoid suspicion, and gradually she comes less, only when the flowers bloom every spring, she always has to come a few times. So every spring, when the flowers bloom, An Guogong, who has always been weak, is often refreshed and smiles a lot more than in the past.
Today's weather is refreshing and the spring is beautiful. Yun Tan got up early in the morning and heard the magpie branches calling, and he was in a very good mood. Brother Qiao was happy to see Yun Tan, and knew that she must be going to play in the garden, so he prepared a goose yellow gauze dress with a light green shawl for her, and chose a long step with gold and pearls. Brother Qiao looked at Yun Tan left and right, and privately felt that the girl in front of him was really much stronger than Miss Wang Chu, who was known as the first beauty in Jiangcheng.
Yun Tan looked at himself in the mirror, and saw that there seemed to be something missing, and he was not satisfied until he pasted the big red flower carefully, and led Brother Qiao to play in the garden happily, and a few maids quickly followed them behind.
The spring in the garden is in full bloom, the big peony bends the branches, the weeping begonia seems to be crossing a layer of golden light in the sun, the white magnolia flowers are too prosperous, the petals pave the ground, the cherry blossom shadow is unique and picturesque, it is really full of strange flowers, and the purple and red. Yun Tan enjoyed all the way, the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating, as if he was in a fairyland, and the great troubles were forgotten.
Yuntan spring light slightly drunk and complacent, suddenly saw a tree of flourishing peach blossoms growing not far away, the flowers are full of trees is not lively, the pink peach blossoms seem to be the earth's irrepressible affection for the sky, stretching in the heart of the lover. Yun Tan was stunned for a while, and he saw a pair of people standing under the tree, the man was handsome and tall, dressed in plain brocade. The woman's pink gauze dress, with a bun on her head, looks at the back and knows that her temperament is very outstanding. The two of them standing together can be called a talented woman, of course, if you ignore the man's slippery head.
