good wife

Chapter 142 Seven Years Later (3)
Jingyi walked a few steps quickly, "Sister came so early!"

Jingwei turned her head when she heard the words, and at a glance she saw a fairy-like Jingyi standing at the door.

Jingyi is wearing a white gauze dress today, with light blue lotus flowers embroidered on the cuffs, and a row of blue sea water clouds embroidered on the hem with light blue silk thread of the same color.There is a flying fairy bun on the head, a green plum blossom jade hairpin is inserted obliquely in the hairline, and a crystal walking shaker is inserted on the other side, which gently shakes and jingles as Jingyi moves.No makeup was applied on Jingyi's face, a pair of natural butterfly eyebrows, like a distant mountain with Dai, thick without drawing.Her cheeks were white and rosy, her skin was as soft and smooth as jade, and the pearl earrings swaying around her ears, shining crystal brightly under the sunlight.A pair of nimbly moving eyes look forward to shine, those jet-black eyes are like black jade, so bright that people can't move their eyes away.

Jingwei looked a little dumbfounded, such a Jingyi is really a great beauty!Compared with Jingyi, Yang Qian, the most popular beauty in Beijing back then, is probably paled in comparison!
"Sister, what's wrong?" Jingyi called again.

Only then did Jingwei come back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing. My sister is really good-looking, and I've taken a look at it. Once I go out, I don't know how many people I will be fascinated by!"

Jingyi blushed slightly, "Sister, stop teasing me. Is mother still here?"

"I'm a step late, so I'll let you talk about it. That's enough, I know you want to see Qianqian as soon as possible, let's go." Gu smiled, and after finishing speaking, she pulled Jingyi, turned around, and walked towards the gate go.

When they arrived at Duke Dingguo's mansion, all the wives went to Jinxiu Tower to sit around, while the ladies all enjoyed tea and flowers in the back garden.

"Unexpectedly, there are so many Siji orchids planted in Sister Cui's garden!" Jing Yi laughed.

Cui Qianqian glanced at everyone, "See, I told you that sister Jingyi knows flowers the best. You see, since I just came here, I've fallen in love with Sijilan again."

Jingyi cast a glance at her, and said with a smile: "Why? Didn't you let us come here to drink tea and enjoy the flowers? But you just said a word, and you are in a hurry! But you don't want us to judge?"

Before Cui Qianqian could speak, she heard a little girl say: "Sister, what is Sijilan?"

Jingyi took a look at the little girl, the little girl was about eight or nine years old, and although the clothes and jewelry were simple, they were all high-quality goods.The clothes on that body are fine brocade, and the only jade hairpin on his head is also the best among jades.

Jingyi had a rough idea of ​​the little girl's identity in her heart, and said with a smile: "Siji orchid is a kind of orchid. It has green leaves and flowers, and is fragrant and beautiful. It is not afraid of heat or cold, and it is easy to cultivate. From May to Flowers can be seen in November. So people love it."

The little girl nodded and said, "I see. My sister, how do you know so much? What's your name?"

Jingyi smiled, "Little sister, my name is Su Jingyi. These things are naturally read from books. If you want to know, just read more in the future."

The little girl tilted her head and said, "Well, it makes sense. I will learn from Sister Jingyi in the future and read more books."

Jingyi smiled and didn't say much.At this moment, a maid seemed to be careless and twisted her foot, and the tray in her hand flew out.But the direction of flying was coincidentally directed at Jingyi's direction.

Jingyi didn't move, and all the girls exclaimed, thinking that the tray was about to hit Jingyi!There was ice-cold fruit juice on the tray, which was about to pour on Jingyi's body.

Siqin stepped forward to pick it up lightly, and took the tray into his hand.Not a single drop of fruit juice spilled from the plate.Si Qin put the tray on the stone table, and retreated behind Jing Yi.

Jingyi smiled lightly, and said to the little maid: "Be careful when walking."

The little girl quickly pleaded guilty, and limped out of the gazebo.

Jingyi took a look at the leaving figure of the little girl, lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes covered most of the light in her eyes.

Everyone didn't take this matter to heart, and started talking and laughing again.

The little girl asked again: "Sister Jingyi, I often hear my brothers talk about the 'Three Grades of Flower Appreciation', what does that mean?"

Jingyi smiled and said: "Three grades of flower appreciation, that is to say, tea rewards are the top, light rewards are the second, and wine rewards are the bottom. Drinking tea and enjoying flowers is just like what we are doing now. It is a romantic affair; drinking wine and enjoying flowers is unrefined." gone."

The little girl nodded, "Then why are you enjoying the flowers?"

This time, Jingyi didn't tell her directly, but asked with a smile: "You asked me a total of three questions, and I answered you. Shouldn't you also answer my question first?"

The little girl was taken aback for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Jingyi to ask such a question.I had no choice but to nod.

Jingyi asked: "What's your name? How old are you?"

"My name is Li Jing, and I am eight years old."

Li Jing?Surname Li?Also a whole body of nobility!Could it be the emperor's favorite little princess?

Jingyi thought about this, and smiled again: "You asked me just now, what do you want to enjoy the flowers? What do you think?"

"Well, viewing flowers is to see whether the flowers are fragrant or beautiful. What else is there?" Li Jing asked with her head tilted.

Seeing how cute she looked, Jingyi laughed and said: "There are four criteria for appreciating flowers, namely: color, fragrance, posture, and charm. You are still young now, and you will understand when you grow up."

Li Jing nodded and said: "Sister Jingyi, I just saw a beautiful lotus over there, but I can't name it, can you accompany me to see it?"

Jing Yi nodded and gave Si Qin a wink, and was dragged by Li Jing to walk towards the southeast corner of the garden.

After walking not far, Li Jing pulled her around a corner, let go of Jingyi's hand, and ran forward, saying, "What a beautiful Bing Dilian!"

Jingyi looked left and right, and when she looked forward again, Li Jing was nowhere to be seen.

Jingyi took two quick steps forward, seeing flowers and plants everywhere, where is Li Jing's shadow?
Jingyi's eyes turned, and she looked at a greenhouse not far away.She is only a dozen steps away from the greenhouse now.Jingyi smiled slightly, is that so?
Jingyi didn't go forward, but turned around and walked back.Just two steps away, I heard Li Jing's childish voice from the flower room: "Sister Jingyi, come and see, the flowers here are so beautiful."

Jingyi followed the sound and saw that the flower house of Duke Dingguo's mansion was also so beautifully built, and it was no worse than the main house of an official's house.Jingyi pursed her lips and smiled, and walked over to the greenhouse.

Entering the greenhouse, the eyes are full of green flowers and red flowers, Jingyi did not walk along the greenhouse, but turned to the left and entered the side room.

Large families will set up a side hall in the flower room. Firstly, it is for the master to enjoy the flowers or to rest when he is tired from serving the flowers; secondly, it is for entertaining some flower-loving people sometimes.
