Fengqi Jingshi

Chapter 14 A Coincidental Acquaintance (2)

The vertical flower gate is really like a boundary, and the scenery inside and outside the gate is very different.Looking around, a piece of holly has been pruned into various shapes, next to it is a piece of plum tree, and there are crabapple, winter jasmine, and rose.It's just that these things are not dense, leaving enough space below.Through these, there is a vast expanse of whiteness, and there is a mist of water vapor transpiring upwards. In the sky and earth stands a vaguely high-rise building, and there are lights on the upper floor, like a fairyland.

Shu Yao was wondering, who would live upstairs like that, so Xiyue laughed and said:
"That's where the General lives."

That stern and stern person instantly appeared in front of Shu Yao's eyes. Sure enough, such a high-rise building was the best match for him.

Along with that lake, there is a mountain.Presumably the mountain was there in the first place, and there are pavilions and pavilions built along the mountain. The heights are scattered, and there are winding paths leading up to it.

Walking along the lake for a while, I saw a pear tree, passed through the pear grove, and saw a courtyard with white walls and gray tiles. There was a huge stone by the door, and the words "Gantangyuan" were written on the huge stone. .As Xiyue said that she had arrived, she took a few steps forward to rush to open the curtain, and said loudly:

"Second Miss Li is here!"

A few more maidservants came out of the room, all of whom were dressed like Xiyue. Mother Liang came out after her, stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Second miss, please come in, the old lady has been waiting for you!"

Shu Yao hurriedly followed the crowd inside, and saw Mrs. Yu sitting on the warm kang, leaning on a half-new hidden pouch behind her, with a string of Buddhist beads coiled in her hand.

When Mrs. Yu saw Shu Yao, a smile appeared on her face, and she beckoned her to sit in front of her, asked her what tea she drank, and ordered someone to serve some dessert.Let her eat a snack, paused for a while, and then said:

"Second Miss also noticed that in the Magnolia Courtyard, once your elder sister collapsed, there will be no one in charge. Ya girl is weak, and she must get through now. I should have taken care of her, but this mansion Apart from me, there is also her serious mother-in-law. Brother Yan is a concubine, and his mother is in charge of a lot of things in the house, so it is inevitable that there will be times when he can't take care of it. I have an unfeeling request here, and the second lady will take care of it. If people do not do well, please ask the second lady to help them out."

While speaking, he looked at Shu Yao's expression.

Shu Yao has always felt sorry for her sister, and she also found out that Xu's mother was careless, so only Chuntao can still be used, so it's hard for her sister to bring a group of helpless people here to support her alone.Seeing Mrs. Yu say this at this moment, she knew that she really cared about her sister and felt close to Mrs. Yu from the bottom of her heart.Looking at Mrs. Yu's age, she is more like a mother than a grandmother.

Shu Yao hurriedly nodded and said:

"Old madam, you are being polite. I dare not say anything. Shu Yao often thinks things wrong. When my sister comes here, she often writes letters saying that the old madam is kind and that the madam loves her very much. My father often says that my sister is very lucky. Now if I can get the old lady's advice, it will be my luck."

Seeing Shu Yao's ability to advance and retreat, Mrs. Yu loved her even more in her heart, patted her hand and said:
"What good fortune is not good luck, you sisters are both flower-like figures, I saw something you like. Ya girl... I have a child, and I have a hope in the future. This child must be kept..."

As he spoke, there was some sadness on his face.

Seeing this, Shu Yao hurriedly said something else.After chatting for a while, seeing that it was already dark, Mrs. Yu said:

"I won't keep you any longer, after all Ya girl has to be more careful." He called Xiyue and sent Shu Yao back.

Shu Yao stood up to say goodbye, and when Xiyue sent them out of the Gantang Courtyard, she turned around and said:
"Sister, please stay. I have already marked down the route, and I will definitely not go wrong. You are also busy, so you don't have to see me off."

Xiyue said a few words politely, because she thought that dinner was about to be passed on, so she didn't insist, and gave the lantern in her hand to Mother Liu, stood at the gate of the courtyard and watched their figures disappear, before turning around and entering the courtyard.
