Chapter 54 Meeting Bai Miner Again (1)
Su Ming also persuaded: "Yes, mother, didn't the Bai family also get retribution? Don't be sad."

Jingyi and Gu Yu also stopped talking, and both looked at Gu Shi.

Mrs. Gu smiled hastily, "Look at me, I like to think about things all day long. Qing'er, Ming'er, go out and play with your cousins, let's talk here."

Su Qing agreed, and all of a sudden, the number of people in the gazebo was reduced by half!

Gu Yu got up and blessed Gu Shi and said, "Auntie, I want to take Yiyi to my place to appreciate the lotus, do you think so?"

"Oh? It's the season, and the lotus is still in bloom?" Mrs. Gu asked in surprise.

Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "A while ago, my in-laws sent it over. They said it was brought from the south. The flowering period is long and it looks pretty tight. Let's talk first, and I'll go and see it with you later." After finishing speaking, he said to Gu Yu: "Go, take care of Yiyi."

Gu Yu agreed, and then retreated with Jingyi.

As soon as he entered Gu Yu's courtyard, the lotus flowers of various colors came into view!
Rao Jingyi, a modern person, couldn't help being a little surprised!It is already August, and it is said that the lotus flowers are already in decline at this moment, how can they bloom so brightly and colorfully?
Gu Yu said lightly: "This was sent by their family a few days ago, but where did he hear that I love lotus, so he managed to transport it from the south."

Jingyi looked at Gu Yu's slightly blushing face, and couldn't help joking, "Cousin misses him?"

After hearing this, Gu Yu scolded with a smile: "You little girl, don't talk nonsense!" She said so, but her face turned even redder, like a peach blossom in March, so beautiful!
Seeing Gu Yu, who was only 13 years old this year, Jingyi couldn't help sighing secretly! At the age of 13, at the same age, I was booked to a stranger who didn't know what kind of temperament he was!Thinking of this, Jingyi couldn't help shaking her head.

Seeing her in a daze for a while, Gu Yu shook her head for a while, and asked with concern: "Yiyi, what's wrong with you? But you're not feeling well?"

Jingyi shook her head: "No, I'm just thinking that my cousin will get married in two years, so I'm a bit reluctant."

"Silly girl, even if we are married, we are still sisters!"

Jing Yi glanced at Gu Yu with a smile, and then looked at the lotus flowers all over the yard, they were of different sizes and colors, they were really too beautiful to behold!It seems that this future brother-in-law has put some thought into it.

"Cousin, which son did you order?"

Gu Yu blushed again, and said in a low voice, "It's the eldest son of the Duke of England, Yang Haipeng."

Jingyi thought for a while, but she had never heard of this person before. It seems that people have to check the background of the British Duke and the situation of Yang Haipeng.

"Cousin, let's go to admire the lotus!" After Jingyi finished speaking, she pulled Gu Yu up to take two steps forward, and gently supported the pearly white lotus with her hand.Oval-shaped petals, slender yellow filaments, quietly leaning forward and sniffing lightly, you will feel a faint fragrance of lotus in your heart!

Looking five or six steps away, there is a small white lotus. The lotus flower is only the size of a finger when it blooms. It is white all over, and it looks even more petite and exquisite against the huge lotus leaf!
Going forward, there is a yin and yang lotus. The two sides of this lotus are of different colors, one side is light pink and the other side is yellow.It is a rare treasure of lotus flower. Unexpectedly, the future brother-in-law would use it to curry favor with his cousin.

"Ah! It's Bing Dilian!" Jing Yi shouted, and trotted over.This is a peach-red lotus flower. The so-called flowers blooming with double stalks are talking about double stalked lotuses. This is even more rare than the yin and yang lotus!Especially ones with such gorgeous color and such big flowers are even more rare!

Jingyi always likes lotus, and she has planted a lot of lotus in her yard, but there are not as many varieties as here.

Looking at the beaded and stalked lotus, Jingyi couldn't help but think of Zhou Dunyi's "Ai Lian Shuo", "Yu Du loves the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clean and clear but not demonic, straight in the middle and straight in the outside, neither spreading nor branching, and fragrant far away." In Yiqing, the pavilions are clean and planted, which can be seen from a distance but not played with. Yu said that the chrysanthemum is the hermit of flowers; the peony is the rich and noble flower; the lotus is the gentleman of flowers. Hey! It is rarely heard. Who is the one who gives the love of the lotus? The love of the peony is suitable for everyone."

Jingyi read the second half of the poem unknowingly, which stunned Gu Yu.Jingyi is only seven years old, but she already has such a talent?

"Out of the mud but not stained, wash the lotus without being a monster." After repeating it again, Gu Yu said with a look of surprise: "My sister is really talented! How did you come up with such a good sentence?"

"Huh?" Jingyi came back to her senses, what a pity, she had unknowingly brought out what she missed in her heart, I don't know if there was something wrong.Jingyi hurriedly said: "I made my cousin make fun of it. Yiyi just thought that the stem of this lotus is straight through the middle, with a straight shape, no branches, no branches, and it stands there straight and clean. Cousin doesn't think that father and uncle are very similar. Have you got this lotus?"

"Okay, well said!" A voice of applause came, and it turned out that it was Gu Wen who accompanied Liu Shi and Gu Shi to this place, and was standing under the corridor looking at them.The astonishment on Gu's face was clear at a glance.

It's bad for Jingyi secretly, it was already eye-catching enough, but now after such an incident, I'm afraid it will be even more disturbing in the future.

Jingyi blessed Fushen and said: "Yiyi just made up some nonsense, I hope uncle will not make jokes."

"Oh? It's just a few nonsense words, and you can come up with such a good word. How much does our Yiyi really resemble you back then?" Liu said to Gu with a smile.

Everyone knew that Gu Shi was a well-known talented woman in the capital before she left the court, Liu naturally thought that Yiyi followed Gu Shi.

Mrs. Gu smiled lightly, "That's right, the middle is straight and the outer is straight, neither spreading nor branching. It is indeed similar to your uncle and father!"

Gu Wen's face was full of smiles and complacency, "My Gu Wen's niece is naturally good."

Gu smiled and shook her head, "How can you be such an uncle? See how much you spoil the child?"

Several people chatted and laughed in the yard, went to the hall to finish their lunch, rested for an hour, and then came out of General Weiyuan's Mansion.

"Brother, sister-in-law, go back quickly." After Gu Shi finished speaking, she said to Gu Yu again: "Yu'er, turn around, come and stay at our house for a while, so that you can accompany Yiyi."

Gu Yu said happily, "Okay. In a few days, I will definitely visit my aunt and Yiyi."

Su Qing helped Gu Shi and Jing Yi get into the carriage, and after bidding farewell to Gu Wen with Su Ming, they got on the horse, and the group drove towards the Hou's mansion.

In the carriage, Jingyi sat next to Mrs. Gu, "Mother, do you know the son of the family that my cousin is betrothed to?"

"Well, he is the eldest son of the British government. I heard that he is a child with both civil and military skills. He is very valued by the British government. What? Why does Yiyi care about this?"
