Pastoral Jiaoyi's mother and father are here

Chapter 219 Meeting for the First Time (Part [-])
Chrysanthemum Garden

All the young masters and ladies who wrote poems came in, and some of them wanted to fish in troubled waters, but they were all driven away in embarrassment.

It was also because of this that 160 people were supposed to come in, but now only 110 four people came in.

Entering the Chrysanthemum Garden, they scattered to enjoy the flowers first, and they recited poems and made couples together, which was very pleasant.

Gu Xiangsi finally found a chance to meet He Xuan, and they came to the thatched bamboo pavilion in the bamboo forest behind the row of bamboo houses. There were bamboo tables and stools inside, and sika deer and hares ran around.

He Xuan sat across from their husband and wife, first looked at Xilingyan, the king of the town, and then at Gu Xiangsi, cupped his hands and asked gently: "I don't know why the princess sent people to repair bamboo several times, why?"

Xiling Yan brewed a pot of tea, she also poured a cup for He Xuan to save face, and pushed it over.

He Xuancheng stretched out his hand to catch the celadon teacup in fear, nodded to Xiling Yan as a thank you, and turned his suspicious eyes to Gu Xiangsi, what is the princess of the town looking for?
Gu Xiangsi took a sip of fruit tea, then put the cup on the table, looked up at He Xuan and asked with a smile: "Mr. He, dare to ask, what do you know about the dispute between the fourth sister and Miss Zhao Wu in the street that day?" What kind of incident happened?"

Now He Xuan finally understood why Gu Xiangsi was looking for him, and he didn't hide anything from Gu Xiangsi, he just told Gu Xiangsi what he heard from his mother.

After Gu Xiangsi finished listening, she curled her lips into a slight sneer, and told He Xuan the truth about what happened that day.After finishing speaking, she looked at He Xuan and asked with a smile: "Young Master He thinks, who is right and wrong in this matter?"

He Xuan's complexion had become extremely ugly, and the knuckles of his hands holding the teacup were turning white. He looked at Gu Xiangsi with great shame and apologized: "I'm sorry, Princess, it's my mother who listens and believes, and let Miss Gu fourth Wronged."

As for Zhao Wenjing?Such a bad woman, even if his mother forced him, he would not be able to marry.

Seeing that He Xuan is also a person who can distinguish right from wrong, Gu Xiangsi felt relieved to hand over her sister to him.However, she still said to He Xuan with a cold face: "Young Master He, I will not blame Lingtang for listening to and trusting things. But if the fourth sister enters the door in the future, if Lingtang still listens and believes and deceives my fourth sister like this, This princess will not agree when the time comes."

"Xiuzhu remember, after returning home, I will explain the matter clearly with my mother." He Xuan got up and bowed deeply, knowing that his mother was deliberately slandering Gu Xiyun, and it was their He family's fault. For this apology, he should apologize to Princess Zhen...to Miss Fourth on behalf of his mother.

Gu Xiangsi didn't embarrass He Xuan any more, and got up supported by Xiling Yan, and said to He Xuan with a gentle smile: "Even if this matter is over, I will buy a new dowry for the second and fourth younger sisters later, it is rare for Mr. He to steal it." Fusheng has half a day to spare, why don't you go see the fourth younger sister, hearing is believing, seeing is believing."

"Yes, thank you, Princess, for your tolerance. Xiu Zhu will go to find Miss Fourth...recite poems to retaliate." He Xuan lowered his head, his ears and neck were red, it can be seen that he is a nerd who has always kept his etiquette. The woman has been in contact with.

"Go! My lord and I are also going to enjoy the flowers." While talking with a smile, Gu Xiangsi was supported by Xiling Yan and left the bamboo pavilion.

He Xuan stood alone in the bamboo pavilion without moving for a long time. If it weren't for the scenery here, the deer and the hare are very cute, he might have given up his demeanor and punched the table rudely.

My mother would actually fall in love with such a vile woman. It was not enough to ruin the dowry of the two sisters in the street, and it was even worse that the villain would file a complaint first.

Regardless of whether it was Miss Gu who was extremely angry or not, Zhao Wenjing shouldn't let the guards catch Miss Gu and slap a girl who has not left the cabinet in the street. How embarrassing is this girl!

……

After Gu Xiangsi and Xiling Yan left the bamboo forest, they went to find Shui Canghai. Sure enough, Shui Canghai was surrounded by many young masters and ladies, who were simply excellent men and women killing each other.

Han Jue has become Shui Canghai's most loyal admirer. His father, Han Yan, is a highly educated scholar. He was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he is also obsessed with literature.

After encountering Shui Canghai, he really felt that a thousand cups of wine is too small to meet a bosom friend, and he sings poems to the connoisseurs!
Shui Canghai doesn't like to oppose these young masters and ladies by reciting poems at all, but he still has to be patient, maintain a gentle and calm calmness like jade, and make friends with them through poetry.

"Brother Zheliu's sentence, 'Chu Zeqiu stands tall and the rest of the people are resting, I saw this outstanding man under the frost' in his eyes!" A young master waved his fan to praise, today's poetry meeting, the scenery is beautiful, it is really great to meet this gentleman Luckily too!
Zhao Wenjing really fell in love with Shui Canghai. Among the many young ladies who surrounded Shui Canghai, she was also the most talented. After the young master praised Shui Canghai, she also laughed and said: "Young Master Qu is very talented, gentle and quiet. Admire."

"Miss Zhao is absurd." Shui Canghai smiled lightly and Wen Wen nodded lightly, his gestures were noble and elegant, and he had a demeanor of elegance.

With him like this, not to mention the fascination of women fans, even the sons of Han Jue, watching his words and deeds, are deeply pleasing to the eye!

Gu Xiangsi stood not far away, looking at such a sea of ​​water, turned her head to Xiling Yan and said, "Mr. Huayuan is indeed a master of masters, but fortunately he is not a womanizer, otherwise, the girl from Xilan City will be the one in the future." , but you will suffer.”

"Well, Mr. Huayuan is really powerful." Xiling Yan nodded lightly, looking at the changed Shui Canghai, he also deeply admired Mr. Huayuan, who could actually carve a piece of incomprehensible rotten wood into such a beautiful shape. An incomparable treasure.

Leng Jian appeared again. He didn't appear for no reason to disturb everyone's reciting poems, but he came to give gifts to these young masters and ladies.

Shui Canghai kept a calm smile, he didn't know anything about these things brought by Leng Jian.call!What the hell is Huayuan-jun doing?

Leng Jian distributed the two prepared items to these young masters and ladies, and said with a very courteous and thoughtful smile: "These exquisite hand stoves are made by friends of the young master, and the various flowery poems on them are written by the young master himself, and are specially prepared. This is for all the young ladies who meet friends today with poems. Mr. Han, you also have these poems and paintings on folding fans, which were carefully drawn by your friends, and you wrote poems. I hope you all like them."

Gu Xiangsi picked a pink chrysanthemum beside her and asked Xiling Yan to put it in her hair. Looking at the autumn scenery in the garden, she smiled and said, "These poems and paintings all depend on me and Mr. Huayuan, aren't they amazing?"

"Of course it's very powerful." Xiling Yan and the others were surrounded by no one, and they were not far from Shui Canghai and the others. Hearing the praises of Han Jue and the others, seeing the young masters and ladies around him But everyone heard the sound and went to join in the fun.

This guy Han Jue is a god assist. He opened the folding fan and exclaimed: "What a majestic landscape painting, this waterfall is the best to leave blank! Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way falls nine days. Good poem , good momentum!"

Most of what Zhao Wenjing and the others got were small round hand stoves painted with flower branches. There were all kinds of flowers, and they were all accompanied by wonderful poems.

In Zhao Wenjing's hand is a red hand stove with white peony patterns, and four lines of poems are written beside it: I met the world by chance, and we were together at Grandma's house in Zengcheng.With such a beautiful color, Tianjiao will send out all kinds of flowers late.

Leng Jian remembered his young master's order that this peony hand stove must be given to Zhao Wenjing, which is the key to whether Shui Canghai can seduce Zhao Wenjing.

This poem usually looks like a poem about appreciating peonies, but if a man makes this poem into an object and gives it to a woman, then he may be able to read the ambiguous meaning of affection from the poem.

At first, Xilingyan felt that there was no need to go to such lengths to teach Zhao Wenjing a lesson, but after hearing what He Xuan said his mother told him about the incident that day, he felt that it was necessary.

There are always too many people in the world who are justified when they rob other things, and don't care at all how uncomfortable the person who is robbed will feel.

It's okay to grab something that others fancy, at least the damage won't be that great, and it's enough to make the person who was robbed feel uncomfortable and angry.

But what Zhao Wenjing wanted to snatch was his fiancé, or he viciously snatched his fiancé while he was observing filial piety. If she really snatched her away, wouldn't it be difficult to find a good man to marry after Gu Xiyun's filial piety was delayed for a few years?

Gu Xiyun is no better than Gu Chenxi. Gu Chenxi has the elder brother of Ning Guogong and the grandmother of the eldest princess. No matter how old she is, even if she is 20 years old, it is impossible for her to marry too badly.

But Gu Xiyun didn't have any backing, she was just a concubine fourth lady of Ningguo Duke's mansion with the identity of an illegitimate daughter.

If someone robs her fiancé now, she will be 17 years old when the mourning period expires, where can she find a good family to marry her?

Zhao Wenjing's move was not only domineering, but also extremely vicious, clearly to force Gu Xiyun to death.

Gu Xiyun is no longer a weak person, but she is still young after all, without her father and mother, her brother is not around, and Ningguo's mansion has become deserted and desolate again, she is a helpless little girl, can The reason why she has been strong until now and has not fallen is because there is still a little light in He Xuan, her fiancé?

If this little bit of light goes out too, Gu Xiyun, a little girl, might really be devastated and have an accident.

"A majestic young lady who is a concubine did something wrong, but wanted to snatch other people's fiances. No wonder I taught her a painful lesson." From Gu Xiangsi's point of view, Zhao Wenjing was just trying to die, as if Gu Xiyun was helpless. Damn, can she bully like this?
Ah!Her eldest sister is not dead yet!If you want to bully her sister, you have to see if she agrees.

"Don't be angry, just teach Zhao Wenjing a lesson, just treat it as...a warning to all the arrogant and domineering ladies." Xi Lingyan was afraid that she would be hurt by her anger, so she could only coax her gently, bringing her She went to rest in a hexagonal pavilion in Juyuanli.

Gu Xiangsi also said to herself, don't be angry, don't be angry, but there are some things that even a saint can't bear to get angry.

……

He Xuan has also found Gu Xiyun here, seeing the two sisters sitting and talking together, he felt a little embarrassed to step forward.

Seeing He Xuan always looking at her fourth sister, Gu Chenxi stood up displeased, frowned and asked him, "Dare to ask, my lord, what's your business?"

Gu Xiyun also got up from the boulder they were sitting on before, and felt a little familiar with this young man, as if he had seen him outside the Chrysanthemum Garden before.

He Xuan lowered his eyes slightly and walked over, cupped his hands and saluted, and said in a gentle manner: "He Xuan, Miss Gu, Miss Gu, please be polite."

"He Xuan? Oh, it turned out to be..." Gu Chenxi nodded knowingly, pulled Gu Xiyun up to return the courtesy with a little embarrassment: "Young Master He, you are polite."

It was only then that He Xuan raised his head to see the appearance of his fiancée. Although she was not beautiful, she was pretty and pleasant.

Seeing that He Xuan had something to say to her fourth sister, Gu Chenxi found an excuse and said with a smile: "I seem to have seen a few little sisters I know, you talk slowly, I'll go and sing with them first The poem is right."

"Second...Second Sister..." Gu Xiyun used to be in the countryside, and he was not so polite, and men and women did not have such taboos.

But when she came to Xilan City, after being trained by the nun for so long, she naturally already understood the taboos and taboos between men and women.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been engaged for so long, and she didn't even know what her fiancé looked like.

He Xuan saw that the Fourth Miss Gu seemed very nervous and afraid of him, so he couldn't laugh or cry: "Miss Fourth, I'm not a rough person, and I don't look terrible, right?"

"I...I didn't..." Gu Xiyun looked up at He Xuan, just like what He Xuan said, he is not scary, but rather pretty.Thinking of this in her heart, she couldn't help but blushed. She retreated and sat on the boulder, lowered her head and twisted her handkerchief, frowning: "It's the first time we meet, I... I'm a little nervous, you... Don't take it for granted."

"It's okay! We are all the same, and I am also nervous." Although He Xuan is a scholar, he is not pedantic and rigid. Seeing that Gu Xiyun is so frank, he is more casual. He can't be serious and make everyone more nervous and not relax. ?
Gu Xiyun was amused by his casual words, turned her head to look at him, and saw that he was also sitting on the boulder, her cheeks became even redder, and she frowned and said in a low voice: "Don't you literati often talk about 'giving men and women? Don't kiss' on the lips?"

"Yes! These are the words of a sage. Marrying a man and a woman without marriage is naturally taboo. So..." He Xuan turned his head to look at her blushing cheeks that looked like a rosy glow, and stretched out his hand to measure between them After a while, he laughed softly and said: "Look, you are sitting on the other side of the stone, and I am sitting on the other side of the stone. There is a distance of two feet in between. How can you say that you and I have crossed the line?"

Gu Xiyun took a look at the distance between them, it was indeed as wide as a measuring stick, and it wasn't considered a blind date.

He Xuan looked at her shy smile, and felt that Miss Gu Si was still very cute, she seemed to have no intentions, and was not at all as vulgar and vicious as her mother said.

well!It's really unreasonable for my mother to be so partial to listening and believing, and so prejudiced against Miss Gu Si.

"Look, Gu Xiyun is so shameless and laughing with a man like this, isn't it shameless?" The young master chatted very happily, and she felt jealous. Why is she not as attractive as an illegitimate daughter of Gu Xiyun, who is a dignified daughter of the Wei family?
Zhao Wenjing also turned her head to look this way. Seeing that He Xuan and Gu Xiyun were so good, her heart was burning with jealousy. Gu Xiyun, a bitch, why...

"Miss Zhao Wu, my son is here to invite you." Leng Jian came in time, because he was afraid that Zhao Wenjing, a woman with big breasts and no brains, would destroy the good relationship between Miss Fourth and Mr. He.

"Ah? Young Master Qu...Okay, please lead the way." Zhao Wenjing blushed, pretending to follow Leng Jian softly, and turned her head to look at the ladies from the family proudly. Did you see it?Mr. Qu treats her very special!

After Zhao Wenjing left, Wei Shiyu twitched her lips in disdain and said, "I was jealous of Gu Xiyun before! Now I hear Mr. Qu looking for her again, like a peacock, its tail is so proud that it goes up to the sky."

"This person looks familiar, it seems to be..." A young lady held a handkerchief, frowned and thought for a long time before she was surprised and whispered: "I remembered, he is Mr. He, that... Miss Gu Si His fiancé, Young Master He Xuan."

"Ah? He is He Xuan..." Wei Shiyu looked a little embarrassed now. So they are a fiancée?Then she said that before, didn't she...

The rest of the ladies didn't like Wei Shiyu, a woman who gossips behind her back, and felt that she was too disrespectful.

After Wei Shiyu left with their fans in hand, she stomped away in shame.

This Prince Jing is really real, he doesn't even allow everyone to bring a maid and servant, if he wants to drink water, he has to go to the stone chisel side of the bamboo house and drink from the mountain spring water in a bamboo tube, and he doesn't even serve a sip of tea, it's really stingy.

……

Gu Chenxi walked over after Wei Shiyu and the others left, admiring in front of a few green chrysanthemums, with a sad expression.The fourth younger sister and Mr. He are on good terms now, but she... She is considered to be rewarded for evil after all. At the beginning, her willfulness hurt the third younger sister, and now her marriage is not going well.

"This kind of green chrysanthemum is rare, and this is the first time I see it today." A young man reached out and gently touched the flower. The green chrysanthemum was as green as jade, so elegant and beautiful.

Gu Chenxi did not raise his head, but only reached out to support a chrysanthemum, lowered his eyes and whispered: "This is the jasper that was newly cultivated by the gardener in the palace last year. Unexpectedly, Prince Jing has cultivated more than a dozen chrysanthemums this year. Seriously." It’s rare. What a pity! I didn’t have the chance to see the precious green chrysanthemum in Jing Wangye’s Furong Garden——Bixi jade tea. I heard that this chrysanthemum is very elegant, white and green in color, and the leaves are picked and cooked. The tea is very fragrant, and the taste is sweet and slightly bitter. Fragrant."

"Girl is so knowledgeable! Before Xiaosheng listened to Master Qu recite a song "Green Chrysanthemum": "Drink the dew and the green quality of the east fence, taste the dark fragrance of the frost and Langyuan. The tender pistils in the wind are fragrant and gorgeous, and the fairy flowers under the moon are clean and clear." 'Now when I look at this green chrysanthemum, it is really pure and clear, a fairy flower in Langyuan." Looking at the very handsome young man, he held his fan and cupped his hands to Gu Chenxi with a very shy smile.

Gu Chenxi turned to take a look at the nerd, then lowered her eyes and nodded, turned around and left with a fan.
