"The orchid leaves are green and never tire of growing... They are suitable for half shade... and half for sun. Flowers bloom most... outside the breeze, the night is quiet and no one is there before the fragrance smells... .”
Wang Yuanjun thought silently in her heart.
Somehow, she suddenly thought of her eldest aunt and second aunt, who were both talented and well-known in the family, but unfortunately, as women, could only stay in the backyard, and she felt regretful in her heart. Her mother, although she was also the daughter-in-law of the Wang family, was living with the other two. The daughter-in-law is different. Her mother is illiterate and has a violent and vulgar temperament. Standing next to her eldest aunt and second aunt, the contrast is obvious.
He felt slightly sour again and couldn't speak for a long time.
After a long time, she came to her senses, picked up the fan again, put it between her arms, and half-covered her chin.
Shen Yinxiao was just a commoner in the public eye. Before he opened a douhua shop, he made a living by playing music and performing in a brothel. He came and went from all walks of life, so how could he have such free time to enjoy orchids and recite poems.
She couldn't understand.
I really can’t figure it out.
But at this time, everyone was immersed in admiring the artistic conception of this poem, and few people bothered to speculate about other things. Xu Qiuhe was not in the mood to look at this poem, so he turned around and asked Li You, who was lost in thought: " What do you think of this poem?"
Li You thought for a while and said, "It's not that good."
Xu Qiuhe was now satisfied, and the dissatisfaction just now was gone.
"It should be pretty good," he added.
Xu Qiuhe's face suddenly fell, and he said angrily: "You..."
"You" couldn't say anything to refute him for a long time.
Wei Cheng had no interest in reciting poems from the beginning. Now Shen Yinxiao threw away the pen and left without looking back. He was too lazy to stay here anymore, so he rolled up the painting of Shen Yinxiao's pen and ink and put it in He took it out of his sleeves and said casually: "I still have something to do, please take your time and play."
After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, pointed to the pot of orchids, and signaled to the attendant: "This pot of orchids is finished today, please move it back now."
Wang Yuanjun was a little reluctant to part with it: "This plain-guan lotus tripod is really well maintained. I have been collecting famous flowers and plants from all over the world these days. I remember that Zhong Yang was not interested in these external things, so why not leave it to me?" Keep it."
Wei Cheng smiled, "If you want it, I'll find someone to give you a pot later."
Wang Yuanjun was embarrassed by being humiliated in public. She bit her lip and said with a bit of unwillingness: "Giving it away? I don't know which girl is so lucky."
"Maybe Zhong Yang is planning to reward Madam Shen."
Wei Cheng frowned slightly. Her repeated refutations today had already made him a little unhappy. Such eager questioning was just the pretentiousness of his youngest daughter's family, which made him a little tired. He didn't want to pester her anymore: "It's just a friend."
Leave with a puff of sleeves.
Wang Yuanjun's face turned green and white, and finally turned slightly red. No one in the audience dared to say anything. Li You also stood up to leave. Xu Qiuhe gritted his teeth silently as he looked at his hurried back, almost biting off his cheeks.
After Shen Yinxiao took Yunxian away, Yunxian hurried back to Cuihua Building, walking and running. If she went back too late, otherwise Liu's mother would have to give her instructions again, and Shen Yinxiao didn't remember the way. , after being left behind by Yun Xian, he walked around in circles in the Doubunkan for a long time.
The Tongwen Hall was winding and winding, and she walked around for a long time, but still didn't get out.
Li You has always been there to pick her up, so she didn't have to rush. But at this time, she was still trapped in the Tongwen Hall. When others saw her, they thought she couldn't bear to leave Li You and his son. It was getting late and dark, so she was a little anxious and turned around. I want to find a servant to ask for directions.
She walked fast, and the soft rustling sound behind her gradually became more and more obvious. Her back felt cold, so she lifted up her skirt and ran.
Youzhou is located on the border, and there are many wild people who specialize in abducting women of her age and children of several years old. Wei Cheng had told him before that he should not stray too far from home at night, as her scalp Feeling numb, I want to run farther and faster.
Until she finally saw a servant holding a lantern from a distance, she ran over and pulled the servant as if she was a savior: "There is someone chasing me from behind!"
The servant raised the lantern and looked behind her. Just as he was about to call someone, he was so frightened by a handsome face that couldn't tell the difference between mood and anger that he almost dropped the lantern in his hand.
"Young Master...Second Young Master."
Wei Cheng panted slightly, looked helplessly at the frightened woman, and said, "Why are you running?"
"Why are you chasing after me without saying a word? Do you know that I'm scared to death?" Shen Yinxiao was angry.
Wei Cheng sighed, waved his sleeves and asked the servant to retreat. Before retreating, he took the lantern from his hand.
"Lost?" Wei Cheng asked.
"Yeah." Shen Yinxiao blushed slightly and nodded vaguely.
Wei Cheng handed the lantern to her: "Take it yourself."
Shen Yinxiao took the lantern and illuminated the ground in front of her. The dim yellow light lined her goose-yellow skirt, which was tender and tender. The two of them walked out side by side.
After leaving Tongwen Hall, Wei Cheng did not leave, and kept seeing her off as if he wanted to send her home.
"Stop following me, I can just go back by myself." Shen Yinxiao stopped and advised.
Wei Cheng's eyes were slightly displeased: "It's already dark. If you are a girl walking at night, it would be better if you brought servants and maids with you. You are alone... I won't do anything, I will only send you back."
Shen Yinxiao lifted up her skirt and walked quickly, Wei Cheng strode with his legs, and Shen Yinxiao trotted, but Wei Cheng still strode to follow. She was a little discouraged: "My house is ahead, Second Young Master Wei, please go back."
Wei Cheng remained silent.
"Yinxiao? Are you coming back after your work? Have you eaten?" Aunt Li, who was in the same alley, was carrying a bucket to pour swill. Passing by the two of them, her eyes turned to Wei Cheng, and her thoughts were written on her face. Fortunately, it was dark at night, and the lamp only illuminated the road in front of Shen Yinxiao, so Wei Cheng's face could not be seen clearly.
Shen Yinxiao replied with a dry smile: "Eat, eat..."
"Who is this?"
Shen Yinxiao didn't even think about it: "The guests who came to order bean curd, didn't they just go to my house and order a few kilograms of bean curd for a banquet at home tomorrow? I'm seeing off the guests."
Wei Cheng's back stiffened, and his face hidden in the dark had a gloomy expression. He gritted his teeth and looked at the woman in front of him who was chatting and laughing with his neighbor.
She actually said that he was buying beancurd.
His Adam's apple rolled, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, so he could only swallow the words that came to his lips.
Aunt Li nodded understandingly: "After seeing off the guests, hurry back home. It's dark at night. It's not safe for the girl to be alone."
"okay......"
Shen Yinxiao turned around and stuffed the lantern into the motionless Wei Cheng's hand, looked into his eyes, and said warmly: "Go slowly, I won't send it away. If Lang Jun still has the bean curd business in the future, remember to take care of my family, and I will give it to Lang Jun." You have a preferential price, so a 23% discount is not a problem.”
