Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 61 Young Sunshine
"I think so too, let's go then." Yu Yaofang said with a smile.The three of them went out of the Hanging Flower Gate and turned to the second gate, beside the Moon Gate. Xu Sihai was talking to Xu Sijing with his back to the gate. When he saw the three of them coming out, he quickly closed his folding fan and took a step forward, but hurriedly retracted his steps and stretched out his hand. Pushed Xu Sijing a little, and bowed to salute when he was far away.

Li Tian and Lin Ke returned the half salute, Xu Sihai pulled Xu Sijing back to the side, let the three of them out first, then pulled Xu Sijing to follow behind the three of them, away from seven or eight steps, and went to Fayun Nunnery together .

Xu Sijing grew up in the capital, and he is very familiar with the scenery inside and outside the capital. He also has a simple and enthusiastic personality. Along the way, he pointed to the trees, mountains and flowers on both sides, and the Buddhist temple in the courtyard in the distance, and kept talking to Xu Sihai. Where is the scenery, what are the sayings, and what are the anecdotes? Li Tian in front.

He has never seen such soft and bright hair, the jade hairpin in the bun is translucent and lovely, the plain white silk gown is half hidden in the dark purple gauze hanging down from the veil, the clothes fit well, and the person is even more fat. , One point less and too thin, the waist is slender and soft, making people feel soft and loving, and the extremely wide taupe-colored long skirt is lifted slightly by the breeze from time to time, this back is really beautiful.

Xu Sijing only thought that Xu Sihai was fascinated by the beautiful scenery in front of him, which one who just arrived in the capital was not like this?A person speaks with great interest.

It was not far from the other courtyard to Fayun Nunnery, but within a quarter of an hour, Xu Sijing walked while talking, feeling that he had arrived within a few steps, and Xu Sihai looked at the back in front of him in despair, feeling that it was only a blink of an eye , several people entered Fayun Nunnery.

Li Tian and the three first went to the main hall and the Guanyin Hall to offer incense, Xu Sihai hurriedly dragged Xu Sijing to follow behind to offer incense, Li Tian and the three all went to Fayun Nunnery often, and the nuns who came and went to the nunnery met, but He Shi greeted with a smile , not much talk and entertainment.The three walked along the outline next to the Buddhist hall, passed through the nunnery, arrived at the back of the nunnery, exited the corner gate, and turned to a viewing pavilion behind the nunnery.

The maids and mothers-in-law were busy cleaning the places, placing cushions, and setting down the small red clay stove in the leeward corner of the pavilion to boil water for tea.Yu Yaofang greeted the two cousins ​​with a smile and said: "Seventh Brother and Ninth Brother, let's take a break and have a cup of tea. The scenery is the best in this pavilion." Xu Sihai couldn't wait for it, so he hurriedly handed over his hands and agreed, pulling Xu Sijing, Yu Yaofang, and Li Tian Sit across from each other.

Li Tian sat leaning back against the railing slightly, took a cup of tea, half-lidded his eyes, and stared at Xu Sijing from the corner of his eyes, admiring the scenery absent-mindedly, turning his mind.

Xu Sijing wore a jade-colored long gown, the silk sash around her waist was slightly loose, and the wishful knot was not very neatly tied. One arm was casually resting on the railing, and she was turning her head around to enjoy the scenery, her smile was sincere and gratifying She was talking to Xu Sihai, Yu Yaofang, and Lin Ke. This was her first choice husband-in-law.Li Tian's eyes fell, looking at the thousand-ply bottom indigo silk shoes on Xu Sijing's feet. Next to these shoes was a pair of thousand-ply bottom indigo silk shoes, but those shoes were obviously much more clean than the ones on Xu Sijing's feet. .

Xu Sijing is simple and honest, sincere, enthusiastic, easy-going and not very particular, has little ambition, and is not so soft-hearted and unprincipled in dealing with others. He is also the youngest son. Such a person is the most suitable husband. Xu Xueshi is noble and noble. He does not seek to be famous, respected by others but not involved in troubles. The Xu family of Le Ning is a family that should not be underestimated. It is more than enough to protect himself and this family. Such a person, such a family, is really hard to find with a lantern , presumably Mrs. Xu is also willing to marry into the Xu family...

"This green tea is the most delicate, and Wu Niangzi is really elegant." Xu Sihai's eyes sparkled, and he praised Li Tian boldly, who was looking at Li Tian who was wandering in the sky. It's different, there's nothing indecent about it."

"Seventh Brother is right, Sister Li is the real elegant person." Lin Ke agreed with Xu Sihai's praise very much, clapped his hands and smiled, Xu Sijing and the three had known each other since childhood, and they were used to talking and laughing, pointing at Li Tian and Lin Ke He laughed and said: "It's still elegant, which of the elegant and talented women in the capital is not outstanding in literary talent? You three, Yaoyao can at least make up a few words, you and Sister Tian are not even right..."

"It doesn't matter if it's elegant or not." Xu Sihai fixed his eyes on the smiling Li Tian, ​​and eagerly interrupted Xu Sijing's words to retort: ​​"Reading and literacy are originally for self-cultivation, how can it be for the sake of proficiency? The way of poetry and prose, What you want is to be able to taste the beauty, and besides, women are different from men, if you say they are right, can you do needlework?"

"Yes, yes, Brother Seven is absolutely right. Can you do needlework?" Lin Ke was beaming with excitement, pointing at Xu Sijing and following up confidently. Xu Sijing scratched her head and smiled innocently. Yu Yaofang looked at Lin Ke and teased, "Ah Ke, do you really know how to do needlework?"

"It's better than Brother Nine anyway." Lin Ke didn't care, he raised his chin at Xu Sijing and said proudly, Li Tian touched Lin Ke's forehead and said, "You forgot, when Brother Nine learned needlework from us when I was young, the corners of the needles were serious It's neater than what you do."

"No way!" Lin Ke stomped his feet and said lazily, "Why didn't I remember this?" Yu Yaofang couldn't help laughing, Xu Sihai poked Xu Sijing and asked in a low voice, "You also learned needlework from them?"

"I don't remember either." Xu Sijing smiled a little embarrassedly: "We used to play together when we were young. Maybe I learned it. A Tian is the most skillful. She even taught me how to turn the rope. Hurry up, I will never learn." Xu Sihai felt an unspeakable awkwardness in his heart, and there was also a trace of inexplicable jealousy and unhappiness in the eyes that looked at Xu Sijing.

"That's right, he's stupid, clumsy and clumsy. Luckily, Sister Li has the patience to teach him. Yaoyao and I have both learned it. I just watched him stick his fingers up and didn't know where to poke." Lin Ke used Swiping his fingers across his face to make fun of Xu Sijing, Li Tian saw that Xu Sijing's face was slightly flushed, so he pushed Lin Ke to change the subject and said, "Look at the cliff over there, the bush of chrysanthemums blooms much better this year than last year."

"Eh, really, last year there was only the east side of that black stone, and this year it has spread to the west." Lin Ke's interest has always shifted very quickly, and Li Tian's words led him to the chrysanthemum on the opposite cliff. Xu Sihai took a look. Li Tian looked at Xu Sijing again, and frowned imperceptibly.

A few people chatted and laughed, sat and drank a few cups of tea in the pavilion, then got up and went down from the back mountain, and walked back to the other courtyard along the foot of the mountain to enjoy the scenery.

In the woods, the vines and trees are shaded and the mountain flowers are blooming. Wild peonies, ditangs, and various unknown, elegant or gorgeous flowers are in full bloom. Lin Ke holds Li Tian's arm, pointing and laughing with Li Tian all the way to enjoy the flowers Watch the squirrels.Xu Sihai intentionally or unintentionally stood between Xu Sijing, Li Tian and the others, squeezing him to the very end.

Mrs. Xu sees each other well every day, and everything in Qingjiang Hou's mansion goes smoothly according to her and Li Tian's plan. Yu Yaofang is also in a happy mood, enjoying the scenery along the way with great interest, and Li Tian, Lin Ke talked and laughed.

"Look at that bunch of peonies!" Yu Yaofang pointed to the peonies blooming on a nearby high hill and said in surprise, "Why are they blooming so well this year!" Li Tian and Lin Ke stopped and looked at the blooming peonies not far away. Li Tian pointed at the peony bush and said with a smile: "Really, although the flowers are a little smaller, it's rare that the color is so strong and full of vitality. It makes people happy when they see it. Let's pick some and put them in the vase."

"Okay!" Lin Ke hurriedly turned to call the maid, Xu Sihai randomly stuffed the folding fan in Xu Sijing's arms, and hurriedly volunteered: "I'll go! They don't know what to do, I'll go. "Before I finished speaking, I turned around and strode up to the high hill, jumped into the peony bushes, carefully picked and folded the flower branches, and several women hurriedly followed, but Xu Sihai waved her hands and dismissed it. What kind of good', they were not allowed to go in, the women had to stand beside the flowers, holding the peony branches carefully selected by Xu Sihai.

Lin Ke turned to look at Xu Sijing and said with a smile, "Why are all the brothers of your Xu family so good-natured?" Xu Sijing blinked her eyes, looking in bewilderment at the one who was moving back and forth among the flowers and concentrating on picking them. Cousin, I can't figure out why he picked this flower. This cousin has a bad temper and is not diligent. He is usually too lazy to even grind ink himself.

Li Tian stared blankly at Xu Sihai who was moving clumsily among the flowers, and felt sour and soft in his heart. This is the young and young Mu Ai, just like those young people on the campus playground who flaunted their youth and jumped and ran to grab the ball. The young man who pitched the ball, and the girls sitting on the edge of the playground, they were unrestrained and unrestrained for them, and they applauded and laughed for them.Back then, I was also sitting on the edge of the playground, looking at the handsome young man bathed in the rising sun, who shot such a three-pointer that made people dazzled, watching him take off his coat and throw it to the sunny girl opposite... Li Tian subconsciously raised his hand and pressed it on his chest. The young man picking flowers among the flowers in front of him was like the figure jumping and throwing the ball on the playground. Li Tian felt bitter in his heart, but he was not a young girl like him anymore. In this world, such a helpless self can't receive the flowers and youth that he throws at him. Besides, his flowers are not in his hands, and he can't allow him to give them to whomever he wants.

Xu Sihai held the last bunch of peony in his arms, his clothes were messy, his face was reddish, and there was a piece of broken flowers and leaves on his forehead. He jumped back a few steps, held the peony in his hand, and happened to hold it in front of Li Tian, ​​with a bright smile like the morning sun: " This flower has only bloomed for a minute or two, go back and soak it in the water, it will be half-bloomed tomorrow morning, and it will be the best if the flower is half-bloomed."

Li Tian looked directly at Xu Sihai, full of emotions in his heart, suddenly reached out to take the peony, and said with a bright smile: "Thank you, I have never seen such a beautiful peony." Xu Sihai never thought that Li Tian would take the flower from him. Bewildered by her smile again, he let go of his hand like a fool, but his arms were still stretched out as before. Li Tian took the flower and turned around to leave. He got up quickly with his hands and feet, his face was so red that it could bleed.

Xu Sijing hurriedly patted the dirty clothes for him, Lin Ke was holding her stomach with a smile and couldn't straighten her waist, Yu Yaofang smiled, her eyes were shining brightly, she looked at her cousin in great surprise, giggled, and carried the The skirt catches up with Li Tian, ​​only a handsome and talented cousin like his cousin is worthy of Tian Tian.

When they came back, Mrs. Xu had already woken up from a nap and took medicine. Xu Sihai and Xu Sijing talked together for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Sijing urged Xu Sihai, and Xu Sihai came out reluctantly and looked around. But he didn't see Li Tian again, so he had to go out and get on his horse and go back.

Before the "wife" joke in the Qingjiang Hou Mansion subsided, the gossip about Mrs. Xu's jealousy and immorality came out from nowhere. The concubine makes New Year's dresses, why Mrs. Xu doesn't serve her in-laws and her husband depends on Mrs. Hong's description, why she is jealous of Mrs. Hong's favor and beats Mrs. Hong from time to time... In short, Mrs. Xu has lost all four virtues, she is simply useless.
