The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 128
A Xi River passes through the Xi Garden, bringing indifference to the Summer Garden and noise to the Spring Garden. The spring and summer gardens are separated by a wall, but the red and green are distinct.

Time passed slowly, and when the sun slanted in the middle, Xiao He was nodding frequently in the idle sunshine and gentle lake wind, and the weeping willows on the embankment stretched their slender hands into the lake from time to time, evoking a touch of ripple.

A three-dimensional white brocade screen divides the Huxin Pavilion into two parts. A beautiful woman in green clothes is leaning on the railing, twirling a cup of tea with her slender fingers, looking at the scenery of the lake and mountains on the west side, her two curved willow-leaf eyebrows are slightly frowned, and her red peach eyes are blooming. It seems that the warm lake breeze can't melt away the sorrow.

On the left and right sides of the beauty in Tsing Yi, there is a female servant named Flower Attendant and Decorator, who is cleaning her face, dressing up, and inlaying decorations, but the tea is not clear, and the lake wind is not warm, which is disturbing. The beauty in Tsing Yi stared and lamented: "It doesn't matter if you don't drink it!" He threw the tea into the lake casually.

"Little lady, weren't you thirsty just now?" The flower attendant stopped combing her hair.

"It's enough to eat the lake breeze." Yan Ruoyu said in a daze.

"The lake breeze quenches your thirst?" Zhu Hua squinted his unsightly head, unable to figure it out.

"Quiet your thirst, but you're not interested anymore!" Yan Ruoyu sniffed the spring breeze all over the lake, and couldn't help but think of the letter sent by Yang Yu. She felt uncomfortable, and whispered: "Flowers, decorations, you don't have to be busy, all are down." Come on, this lake breeze is not interesting, it is not warm, and the makeup on the face does not show others, why don't you let him eat enough, flower waiter, what do you think?"

"What kind of makeup do you eat?" Zhuo Hua didn't understand again, she always felt that there was something wrong with the little lady today, and she kept saying some difficult words.

The flower attendant held back her smile, thinking to herself: "The little lady is going to play tricks on me", and sweated for Xiao Silang in her heart.

"Leave the makeup powder, and remove the rest." Yan Ruoyu picked up a white powder with her fingernails, and gently lifted it into the air, and the pleasant lake breeze blew the makeup powder to the downwind vent of the pavilion.

At three quarters later, Xiao Qinzhi and Xu Miao walked out of the green willow bushes and arrived at the pavilion in the middle of the lake on time. Under a green willow on the embankment, there was a food table with tea on it. Xiao Shu had been waiting for a long time .

"Second Sister!" Xiao Qinzhi saluted and introduced, "This is Xu Xianmin."

Xu Miao didn't want to join in the fun at first, but seeing Second Sister Xiao was there, he had an idea for a while, and saluted, "Xu Xianmin has met Mrs. Shu."

"Xianmin Xiaolang, I have heard about it for a long time." Xiao Shu bowed to An.

"I came in a hurry just now. I'm a little thirsty. I wonder if I can ask for a cup of tea." Xu Miao said.

"No problem." Xiao Shu said.

"Brother Qin, the Huxin Pavilion is inconvenient, so I will have tea here and wait for the good news." Xu Miao said with a smile.

Xiao Qin felt helpless, all he could see were memories, and he couldn't help thinking of the laughter in the pavilion in the middle of the lake at this time last year, the white scarf escaped into the green willow, and the peach red was hidden, it was too hasty.

The willow curtain swayed, and a maidservant could be vaguely seen coming out of the pavilion in the center of the lake, stepped on the trestle bridge and walked towards the shore, and saw two young gentlemen under the green willow, one in Tsing Yi, with their backs facing each other drinking wine. Tea, I don't know its face, the other is wearing a white satin dress, a jade face and a crown gauze, her body is like a willow, full and weak, with a trance-like expression.

The flower attendant had seen Xiao Qinzhi a few times last year from a distance, and he didn't have a deep impression. I don't know who it is, and he saluted Xiao Shu: "Miss Shu, can you come to Qin's young man?"

"It's here!" Xiao Shu looked at Xiao Qinzhi who was standing under the willow, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, what are you doing with the stick?"

"Ah!" Xiao Qinzhi withdrew his thoughts and said with a smile, "Sniff the willow!"

The flower attendant hid her face and suppressed a smile, saluted and said: "Young Lord, please!" He thought to himself: "Smell willows, eat makeup, but don't eat too much."

With hands behind his back, Xiao Qin stepped onto the trestle bridge with complicated emotions and entered the pavilion in the middle of the lake, but seeing the green clothes soaked into the screen, he could vaguely see a delicate woman sitting upright, and a maid standing beside her.

"Can you take Xiao Qinzhi with one step?" Yan Ruoyu raised her brows lightly, and raised her voice.

I heard this sound last year, Konggu Youlan, Xiao Qinzhi saluted and said: "I'm right here, I have seen Miss Ruoyu."

The decorative painting put a futon on the long seat, where the wind is not blocked by the screen, Xiao Qinzhi sat down, smelled a scent of fragrant wind, and heard Yan Ruoyu ask: "Woman's thing, I don't know the habit of sitting?"

"There is no distinction between men and women on futons, so it's natural to get used to it." Xiao Qinzhi replied.

"Since that's the case, why are men and women separated?" Yan Ruoyu asked again.

Xiao Qinzhi fell into contemplation. This question has risen to the philosophical category. From the perspective of evolution, it is naturally easy to explain. It is nothing more than the need for genes to mutate with the change of living environment, but it is obviously inappropriate. I didn’t think about the first question. was asked.

Xiao Qinzhi was silent, when suddenly a fragrant wind came, he couldn't help sneezing, took out his white handkerchief, wiped his nose, and said: "Everything in the world is light or heavy, long or short, they are all relatively unified. Therefore, the separation of yin and yang is a natural law, so there is a distinction between men and women."

"Yin and Yang are separated, yet relatively unified, both women and men are human, I don't know if it's right?"

"Yes~ ah cut!" Xiao Qinzhi sneezed again.

"I've heard about 'Huangnu looking for a husband', may I be lucky enough to see a thing or two?"

"When I was a kid~ oh oh oh oh oh oh oh"

During the intermittent sneezing, Xiao Qinzhi endured the discomfort, spent a long time, and finally finished speaking, he was really annoyed by the bursts of fragrant wind, but he only came here for a while, it would be too impolite to leave, He had to cover his mouth and nose with his white sleeve.

"Forget it, the wind from the lake is strong, and it makes the young gentleman feel unwell, why don't you let it go?" Yan Ruoyu groaned, staring at the screen with frowns, a playful look appeared on her face without makeup. laugh.

"It's okay, the wind is not strong, ah, cut~" Xiao Qinzhi frowned, and answered bravely.

"White sleeves know the wind is cold, do you cover your face upside down? Such white sleeves are really enviable! That's right, white sleeves are born to follow the master. It's a pleasure, but it's annoying not to see each other!" Yan Ruoyu pursed her thin lips, with a deep meaning, as if pointing.

"I just stood under the willow and caught a wisp of willow wind in my sleeve. I was sniffing the willow just now. It is not the white sleeve that knows the warmth and coldness. Miss Ruoyu praised my white sleeve." Xiao Qinzhi already knew at this time, The frequent sneezing is clearly someone who sprinkled powder on the upper air outlet, deliberately retaliating.

"Sniffing willow?"

"Exactly!"

"How much willow wind is there in the sleeve?"

"I'm panicked, I don't know how much, ah~" Xiao Qinzhi smiled helplessly, she deliberately picked up the powder when she was talking, she couldn't cover her sleeves to talk.

"Huh~ Speaking of it like this, it seems that I have lost my interest and disturbed my young gentleman sniffing willows?" Yan Ruoyu said arrogantly.

Xiao Qin had a difficult time, he would eat makeup powder if he didn't sniff willow, and sniffing willow fell into her words. Smelling incense is not often available, I neglected it, I hope you don’t mind.”

"Painting, stop!" Seeing that Xiao Qinzhi had eaten so much powder, Yan Ruoyu's anger also calmed down a lot, and he said, "Flower attendant, remove the screen."

The flower attendant waiting on the trestle outside the pavilion heard Xiao Qinzhi sneezing one after another, snickering waves of water on the trestle trestle, hesitantly walked into the center of the lake when he heard that the screen was about to be removed Ting reminded in a low voice: "Little lady, don't do it!"

"Why not? I can't decide who to marry. Since the two families have decided, sooner or later she will be his wife. See you sooner or later, don't they all see each other?" Yan Ruoyu said angrily.

"No makeup on?" The flower waiter asked anxiously.

"Young Lord of Qin, would you despise me for my plain face and no makeup?"

"Just now, half of the powder entered Chunfeng, and the other half entered my throat. Miss Ruoyu blames Chunfeng, or blames me for eating your powder?"

"Hehe~" Yan Ruoyu leaned on the railing and smiled lightly, adding a trace of sadness to her face, raised her pretty eyebrows, and said speciously: "The spring breeze can't be blamed, and I dare not blame you, I can only blame my own bad luck."

The screen was slowly withdrawn, and Yan Ruoyu in Tsing Yi jumped into view, with a head of blue hair shawl, twirling a few strands behind her ears with her slender fingers, she raised her head to face Xiao Qinzhi, staring at Xiao Qinzhi with rosy eyes, frowning, without shaving Fen Dai's face , slightly ruddy, and his thin body raised his sleeves in the warm lake breeze.

She raised her blue robes, walked closer, looked at Xiao Qinzhi calmly, raised her lips, and asked, "Maybe it caught my eye?"

"The spring breeze is not as good as you." Xiao Qinzhi lowered his head and boasted.

"Then why don't you look at me?" Yan Ruoyu asked forcefully.

"I" Xiao Qinzhi hesitated.

Xiangfeng approached, Yan Ruoyu approached boldly, Xiao Qin retreated subconsciously, unexpectedly, there was a long seat behind his legs, he was forced to stagger to sit down, a little embarrassed.

"Huqiu Mountain Cultural Association, 'will be the top of the mountain, and see all the small mountains'. It is expected that the handsome young gentleman of Qin was unparalleled in style and incomparable. Today, I am forced to stagger to sit down by a weak woman. How do you feel?"

Xiao Qinzhi got up, walked to the entrance of the pavilion, covered his eyes, turned his back to Yan Ruoyu and said: "No one in the world can compare to you!"

Yan Ruoyu said, "You give me the first half of the que: the green hills are about to turn back to the green stream, and the ancient trees are covered by spring clouds. I will give you the second half of the que: there is no intention of falling flowers and flowing water, spring after year.

"I already know your intentions, a letter of divorce in the future, just seven cases of childlessness, I will leave."

"You go!"

Xiao Qinzhi turned around, looked at the indifferent Yan Ruoyu with complicated eyes, bowed to salute, then left the Huxin Pavilion, stepped on the trestle bridge, feeling a lot in his heart at the moment, came to the willow, Xiao Shu asked: "Fourth brother, how do you ?”

Xiao Qinzhi looked back and stared at the Huxin Pavilion, as if seeing Yan Ruoyu, and said: "Soft as a weak willow, as firm as a rock wall."
