The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 228 Affectionate and Sweet Zhouzi Tours the Lake
Gao Suyu tilted her head, her appearance was unusually playful and cute, she did not match the status of a talented woman in the outside world, but her big eyes were very lively, no wonder many young scholars would never forget this girl, and even "helped" her when they were in a daze Gao Suyu spread the reputation of talented women.

At this moment, after hearing what her aunt said, Gao Suyu turned her head to stare at the strange girl sitting in the corner: "Is she the girl Xing Xiuyan Xing that my aunt mentioned?"

Xing Xiuyan had already stood up and took two steps forward, with a smile in her mouth: "I have heard that Miss Gao is very knowledgeable, and seeing her today really deserves her reputation."

A flash of disgust flashed in Gao Suyu's heart, thinking that Xing Xiuyan was as stingy and short-sighted as Grandma Song.She giggled: "I can't afford to be praised by Miss Xing. My aunt knows me, she can barely read a few words, and she doesn't have a famous teacher to guide her, so she can only think about it by herself."

Grandma Song sneered. She didn't like this cousin at all.Knowing that she and Second Mistress are not on good terms, but since Gao Suyu came to the Shangshu Mansion, she always united with Second Mistress to fight against her.Whatever she said, this Gao Suyu would always find something awkward in front of her mother-in-law. Because of this, Grandma Song had suffered several losses.

So at this moment she hurriedly said: "Cousin is so humble, sister Xing doesn't know, Suyu's paintings are so good, even our master praised them very much."

"Grandma told me earlier." Xiuyan was a little annoyed, and even more troubled, two blushes floated on her face, making her look more charming and charming: "I only know that Miss Gao is very talented, so I prepared A pair of words was given as a meeting gift, and I didn't know that Miss Gao had some accomplishments in painting."

Gao Suyu just heard from her new friend Xiaodie that the Xing family is very rich, and she can't hide her explosive spirit.So when Xing Xiuyan said that, he smirked and said, "Oh? I don't know what good things Miss Xing is going to give me?"

Mrs. Song's face was full of embarrassment, and she hurriedly scolded: "Suyu, you are messing around again. Miss Xing and you are all good intentions. Why are you still playing your temper like a child?"

Grandma Qiao laughed muffledly, and was glared at by her mother-in-law.Mrs. Lu took a leisurely sip of tea: "I see that Miss Gao is very straightforward and has a good temper. She is not the kind of affectation. Mrs. Song has such a cheerful niece. This is your blessing. We are envious and can't envy you." .”

Mrs. Qiao and Mrs. Lu have met for a few times. Some time ago, her husband mentioned in front of her that Xing Zhong's future is boundless. He told her not to make Mrs. Xing feel arrogant just because of the title of Mrs. Shangshu. .Therefore, Mrs. Qiao followed Lu Shi's words and said with a smile: "We are justifiably envious, but why are you envious? Speaking of which, I will at least learn a few words with our adults. I will help you out what calligraphy and painting Miss Xing gave you. Review and review."

Xiuyan asked Meilian and Miying to open the scroll, and several wives and young mistresses surrounded her. Mrs. Qiao was greatly surprised: "Oh, isn't this the calligraphy of Master Cao Yu?"

Mrs. Cheng has no more ink than Mrs. Qiao, the wife of the Ministry of Rites, but she has heard of Cao Yu's name, so she hurriedly said: "Mr.

Xiaodie tugged on her sister's sleeve and asked softly, "Who is this Mr. Cao? Why are the ladies so surprised?"

"Master Cao is a scholar of the Hanying Palace, and was once the official clerk of the Supreme Emperor. After His Majesty ascended the throne, although Mr. Cao is still serving in the Hanying Palace, he rarely writes by himself. Now, those who can get his calligraphy are all treasures. .”

Mrs. Cheng looked at Xing Xiuyan with complicated eyes, no wonder her husband wanted her uncle to marry her.

From the standpoint of Cheng's daughter-in-law, Xing Xiuyan is indeed more suitable to be Cheng's wife than Xiaodie, but who said that she is also Xiaodie's sister?
Grandma Song pushed Gao Suyu forward: "Cousin, why don't you thank sister Xing?" Gao Suyu took the scroll stiffly, the smile on his face was not so much better than crying, Xiaodie turned her head, she couldn't bear to see Gao Suyu, such an idiot, look.

Xiuyan was in a good mood after "delivering" the gift, so she smiled with Mrs. Song, "I don't know, I am also a flower lover. When I was young, I often pestered the skilled nuns to help me weave wicker flower baskets. It has been a long time. , and learned a little fur. It’s just not as good as sister Xiaodie’s.”

Mrs. Song smiled and nodded, reversing her attitude towards Xiaodie just now: "I also heard people say that there is a big flower garden in the house that blooms all year round?"

Lu sneered and said: "The plants are all common flowers and plants, but last autumn, hundreds of red plums were planted at home, which looked good against the heavy snow. We wanted to invite Mrs. Song and a few wives to come home. Go sit down, but you are all busy people, I am afraid that you will be embarrassed if you post the post."

Mrs. Qiao hurriedly said: "Oh, I heard from our master that the Xing family's garden is rare to see. Since Mrs. Xing said so, we must have the cheek to go and have a look to be satisfied!" Ask Lu Shi to post a post to invite them immediately after returning home.

After a while, the servant girl waited on the game. Mrs. Song took Mrs. Qiao, Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Lu to the table, and several young mistresses waited beside her.Mrs. Song's eyes fell on Xing Xiuyan, she was not allowed to smile and said: "You children are impatient to watch this, ask Suyu to take you to play in the garden."

Grandma Song hurriedly said: "The driver on the lake has already disembarked from the boat, and the three younger sisters may also take a tour of the lake."

Mrs. Song frowned instead: "No one is watching, I don't worry about the little girls going." She looked at her eldest daughter-in-law, hesitated for a moment: "Go and follow, and take good care of the three younger sisters."

Grandma Song caught a glimpse of Second Grandma's displeased gaze, her heart moved, she smiled and said, "Why don't you ask your younger siblings to go, I'll serve tea for the wives here. My younger siblings and younger sister Suyu can play well, if you don't want her to dry up here Sit."

Second Grandma Song's complexion changed drastically, and she hurriedly explained: "I still want to be with mother." Mrs. Song waved her hands impatiently: "Go, go, take good care of the three girls."

Gao Suyu and Xiaodie dragged Second Grandma Song out the door, and Xiuyan followed behind indifferently.The four of them came out of the big flower hall, Gao Suyu said to Xiaodie: "My sister hasn't gone to my room to have a look, I have a piece of Yuhua stone brought from my hometown, my father said it is called the fairy finger on the snail, put it in the water bowl Here, the immortal will come to life, which is really beautiful."

Xiaodie happily responded to Gao Suyu's words as if there was no Xing Xiuyan behind her.The two girls held hands and walked a few steps forward. Gao Suyu looked back at Xing Xiuyan: "Miss Xing, do you want to go and have a look together?"

Xiuyan smiled and waved her hands lightly: "Miss Gao can do whatever she wants, the flower hall is too stuffy, I'll take a walk in the garden."

Gao Suyu secretly thought that the other party was interested, so he forced Second Grandma Song to follow them.

Mei Lian's face turned blue with anger, "This Gao Suyu is too deceitful, the girl even gave her such a big gift! It's good for her to purposely embarrass the girl in front of Miss Xiaodie. So is Miss Xiaodie, before Those who are older and younger than your sisters, now that they have new friends, they will be ruthless to you!"

Xiuyan found the curved bridge along the road just now, on the waterfront, the lake is shimmering, eliminating a lot of heat.Xiuyan was leaning on a curving fence, and the diligent wife of the Song family had already brought the fishing rod over.The brocades grown in this lake are all red brocades. In terms of value, they can't compare with those in Xiuyan House, but they are better in quantity.Xiuyan just sent down the fishing pole lightly, and as soon as the fish fell into the water, twenty or thirty fish gathered.

The turquoise lake suddenly burst into snow-white waves. Meilian saw it, pointed at a little turtle that popped up not far away and said with a smile: "Miss, look there!"

Xiuyan's gaze didn't fall on the direction of Meilian's finger, but looked at a handsome figure on the other side of the lake.

The other party was smiling at her, Xiuyan suddenly couldn't hold back her stern face, and the corners of her mouth also raised slightly.

"Girl." Meilian saw a silly fish took the bait, but her own girl didn't catch the fish for a long time, so she couldn't help following curiously to the other side.When they saw the visitor, the two little girls, Meilian and Mio, winked and smiled at each other.

The two of them brought three women who were waiting for them: "Nurses, help us find bamboo umbrellas. It's a hot day, so don't let our girl suffer from heatstroke."

Each of the three wives held a 4-minute silver ingot, all grinning from ear to ear, and seeing that it was the Xing family who took the initiative to ask here, who would refuse, they were happy to take Meilian and Mio to get things.

But when they come back, there will be no shadow of the Xing family girl on Quqiao!

"Where are you taking me?" Xiuyan was pulled forward by Song Chen, the breeze was blowing the delicate red skirt, the golden peony seemed to be blooming with the wind, and the tassel flower hairpin hanging from the top of her head hit her A melodious harmony was produced.

Song Chen's palms were warm and dry, Xiuyan didn't feel embarrassed by this close relationship, but felt at ease.

He smiled slightly at Xiuyan, "I'll take you around the Shangshu Mansion." Song Chen didn't go far, and there was a small painting boat parked there on the shore like a pier, and the driver of the boat lightly tapped it with a penny. With a little bit of soft mud on the shore, the boat drifted away from the shore.

Xiuyan sat close to Song Chen's side near the side of the boat, and the boat gradually sailed into the lotus bushes. Although it was not the season for blooming, it did not prevent the lotus leaves from growing big and green at all.

She blushed a little when Song Chen looked at her, and said angrily, "Where are you looking!"
Song Chen lowered his head and laughed, and soon, the laughter became louder, his shoulders trembled, and he finally stopped laughing, and said: "I was worried that you would be hit by Gao Suyu, it seems that you are worse than I imagined. Be strong!"

Xiuyan snorted and wanted to withdraw her hand: "It's fine if you don't talk about it, but I'll get angry if you talk about it. What's going on with her?"

Song Chen hugged Xiuyan in his arms with his backhand, greedily sucking the fragrance from the girl's body with the tip of his nose.Xiuyan felt the stiffness of his limbs, and felt a little flustered, and hurriedly pressed Song Chen's thigh: "Hey!"

Song Chen hugged her even tighter, and it took a long time before he said with a sigh of relief: "That kid Gan Mi is about to get married, Yan'er, when will you allow me to go to your house to propose marriage?"

Xiuyan was so uncomfortable being called "Yan'er" that she slammed Song Chen's chest hard: "Call me Xiuyan, what Yan'er, my teeth are sore! Besides, why am I stopping you from going?" Proposal, it's clear that you were half-hearted and got Gao Suyu to run on me here!"
