Chapter 116
"Hmm." After a long time, Su Zicheng actually agreed. Shuiyan was a little confused. He just said casually that he didn't plan to really go.
"Go now?" Shuiyan's stunned god passed away in an instant. While smiling and answering, he quickly turned his mind: "Since you have gone, let's stay for one night. Tomorrow morning, you can see the cold orchid in the morning light. The cold orchid between the cliffs reflects the morning sun. Don't miss it! "Go to Cuiwei Biezhuang?" Shuiyan looked at Su Zicheng, who touched Wu Lanye with his fingers and seemed to be a little distracted, and his heart moved slightly: "It's best to look at Hanlan, but no one has lived in that place for many years. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. How about Yunzhanyuan? It's close to Cuiwei's villa. It's convenient to see Hanlan, but it's very close to the fourth uncle's courtyard, but only the seventh sister and the little five live in the fourth uncle's courtyard, so it won't be too noisy. Do you think?"
"Well, let's live in Yunzhan Courtyard." Su Zicheng withdrew his hand, turned around and told Dongping, "Just ride a horse and stay for one night." Dongping bowed and agreed, lowered his hand and withdrew, handed a message to Shuiyan's little man, and asked him to get Su Zicheng's clothes and utensils in the backyard. Half an hour later, Su Zicheng and Shuiyan got on horseback at the gate of Liang Wangfu and went to Xuefeng Mountain to enjoy orchids.
Li Xiaoyao and others walked slowly for two or three hours. The car stopped. Li Xiaoyao got off the car with Danyue's hand and looked up at the beautiful Xuefeng Mountain in front of him. The Xuefeng Mountain is a little east of Kaipingfu. The mountain is not high, but it is steep and beautiful, with lush trees and many waterfalls. It is around Kaiping Prefecture. Summer is an excellent place for summer and snow in winter. There are not many other courtyards on this mountain, and there are only dozens of forests, but they are simple or exquisite, hidden in the mountain scenery and trees. The people who can build other courtyards on this mountain are all among the famous families in Beiping country.
At the foot of the mountain, there were three small bright sedan chairs with green bamboo. The two stewenas discussed a few words anxiously. One mother waved to a woman to say a few words, and the woman hurriedly rushed up to the mountain.
Li Xiaoyao sighed, waved to the stewman, and said with a smile, "The scenery on this mountain is really good. It makes people reluctant to leave. Is your courtyard far from here?"
"Go back to the fifth master, say it's not far, and it's not close. According to the feet of these women carrying the sedan chair, it will take less than half an hour." The stewman replied with a smile. Li Xiaoyao exhaled happily, raised her voice slightly, and said with a lot of joy and excitement, "Then I won't take the sedan chair. I'm going to go up!" I came out to see the scenery. I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this snowy peak mountain!"
The stew official looked at Li Xiaoyao gratefully. When she was hesitating, Li Xiaoyao had jumped next to Aunt Fan and Aunt Sun, and said with a smile on her face, "I want to climb the mountain by myself. It's interesting to walk slowly. You go first."
"I'll be with you! I haven't taken the mountain road for a long time. This mountain view is much better than our Bijia Mountain! It's really beautiful!" Mrs. Sun turned her head and looked around with great interest. Mrs. Fan glanced at Yueting awkwardly and didn't look at everyone at all. She smiled and said, "What should I do if I can't walk halfway!"
"That's okay!" Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at the stewman and smiled, "I'm sorry to ask someone to pick us up after she comes to the other courtyard. If you really can't walk, you can carry me up!"
"Yes!" The stewman replied with a relaxed face and a smile on her face. Mrs. Mrs. Fan took Yueting on the bright sedan chair. When the sedan chair was raised, she turned around the mountain road and could not be seen. The stewor led it in front of the front. The two women carried the overhead sedan chair and followed Li Xiaoyao and Aunt Sun. The group stopped and walked away, leaving Li Xiaoyao and Aunt Sun. He chattered and laughed all the way to see the scenery.
After walking for more than half an hour, two women on the mountain led a bamboo sedan chair and took it all the way. Li Xiaoyao took a few breaths, turned his head to look at Aunt Sun and asked, "Are you tired?"
"I'm not tired. What's this road? How far is it!" Aunt Sun is very interested. She has been trapped in the square patio of the Fan family in Kaiping Mansion for these days. Now when she saw the mountain, she was in a high mood and was excited. Li Xiaoyao stood on a flat stone step, put down her skirt, turned around, and said with a smile, "If you had known how to climb the mountain, you wouldn't wear these shoes. Your feet Does it hurt?" Mrs. Sun lifted her skirt and looked at it. She nodded and smiled, "It's really painful for you to say that. Forget it. Don't climb anymore. Let's take the sedan chair."
The two got on the sedan chair, and the stewman herself rolled up the bamboo curtains on both sides of Li Xiaoyao's sedan chair and said, "Let them walk slowly. The fifth master sits in the sedan chair and take a good look at the scenery."
After walking for half an hour, a green tile powder wall appeared in front of the tall forest. The steward took a few steps forward and walked to Li Xiaoyao's sedan chair and enthusiastically introduced: "There are four different courtyards in this place. The one in the middle of the mountain is on our uncle's house. On the far right, the cloudy one is from the second master's house. These two The bigger one is from the third master's house. The other courtyard in our house is the smallest and the closest one. Don't laugh at the fifth master!" Li Xiaoyao followed the guidance of the steward and looked at several other courtyards, a total of which should be the direct branch of the Shui family.
The sedan chair quickly entered the door covered with moss and covered with ancient vines, as if it were old and abnormal. Turning around the shadow wall made of flower walls, Shuilian was standing in front of a moon door that seemed to be naturally generated by ancient vines and waiting for them.
Li Xiaoyao got off the sedan chair, came forward to salute with Aunt Sun, and said with a smile, "I'm wayward. What a troublesome lady."
"If the fifth master said that, he would see outside. My sister, how can he be bothered to say?" Shuilian answered with a warm smile and let Li Xiaoyao and Aunt Sun go in. Li Xiaoyao and the stiff Aunt Sun walked side by side. They turned to look at Shuilian and said with a smile, "Call me Xiaowu, I'll do five."
"Well, you're welcome! I'm 18 years old this year, and I must be older than my fifth sister. Shuilian replied cheerfully, and Li Xiaoyao nodded with a smile: "My sister is one year older than me." The two gossiped all the way, turned a few corners, and went up a few steps. When they arrived at a flower hall, a girl had already reported that Shuitong had already greeted the door of the flower hall, and Lady Fan and Yueting also followed.
Li Xiaoyao looked at Shuitong carefully. The last time she saw her, she had been sitting. She stood tall, but she was too thin. Her plain white linen dress was very wide, her clothes were rolled up, and her workmanship was also exquisite. Compared with the last time in prison, the gray in her face was gone, but the silence was still there. Although there was a smile on the corners of her mouth, she smiled. There was no life. The mountain wind brushed the skirt, and the skirt flew in, making it even more lonely. Li Xiaoyao took a breath and smiled quickly. She took a few steps forward and bent her knees. Shuitong had meticulously bent her knees and went to the end. Li Xiaoyao quickly turned her head and looked at Shuilian. Shuilian took two steps to help Shuitong up and said with a smile, "Little fifth sister is not an outsider. Sister Tong doesn't have to be polite to her!"
Shuitong smiled quietly: "The fifth master is very kind to me." The voice was gentle and slow, and Li Xiaoyao was sad to hear it. Shuilian didn't seem to hear Shuitong's words and enthusiastically introduced Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun looked at Shuitong sympathetically and saluted with restrained and respectfully. Several people gave way and entered the flower hall.
The windows of the flower hall are opened on four sides, facing the other courtyard. The two windows in the middle of the other two sides are inlaid with transparent crystal glass, facing the cliff outside. It seems to be a place to enjoy the scenery. At this time, the windows next to the crystal glass are wide open, but the room is unusually warm. Danyue and Haitang waited on Li Xiaoyao and Aunt Sun to go to the cloak. Shuilian smiled and said, "This place is the best to see the mountain scenery. My grandfather loved this place most in winter. He had cold legs, so he even dug out the bottom of the flower hall and opened the fire channel. At this time, I let people burn the fire dragon, and the fire wall and the fire kang were not burned, otherwise it would be too hot."
Li Xiaoyao walked to the glazed window and looked out. It was more than ten feet away from the flower hall, which was the end of the cliff. There was a half-high stone fence on the side. There were various late opening ** in the stone fence. Li Xiaoyao looked for a while, returned to sit on the kang, took the cup and took a sip of tea. Mrs. Fan was talking to Shui Tong. Shuilian and Aunt Sun didn't know what to talk about. Yueting sat next to Aunt Fan and carefully looked at the furnishings in the flower hall. Li Xiaoyao was about to turn back to enjoy her scenery. The girl at the door respectfully reported: "Grandma, Miss Seven, Master Ming is here."
Shuitong suddenly straightened up. Shuilian jumped off the kang and raised the curtain. A clean daughter-in-law in her thirties came in with a three- or four-year-old boy in her arms. The little boy was thin and weak, but his face was fine. He looked at the stranger in the room timidly. This was Shuitong's son and Chen Zhongliang's legitimate son Chen Ming is deep.
"Amin, come on, seven aunts." Shuilian greeted him and raised his hand. A Ming smiled shyly. He turned around and rushed to Shuilian. He turned his head from Shuilian's arms to look at his mother Shuitong and stretched out his hand to Shuitong. Shuilian grabbed his hand back, took him and walked to Li Xiaoyao first, pointed to Li Xiaoyao and said with a smile: "This fifth aunt of the Li family loves us A Ming the most. Can you kowtow to the fifth aunt?" Before Shuilian put down Aming, Li Xiaoyao had jumped up, neatly grabbed Shuilian and Aming, and did not reach out to hold him. He only took Aming's hand and praised with a smile, "Aming is so cute! How old are you?"
"Four years old." A Ming's hand was held in Li Xiaoyao's hand. Two big black and white eyes flashed at Li Xiaoyao and stopped for a moment before answering in a soft voice. Li Xiaoyao took the cloth cow with exquisite workmanship and two pieces of ink jade embedded as eyes from Haitang. He raised it to A Ming and said with a smile, "Who is an ox?"
"Me!" Aming reached out and grabbed the smiling Bu Niu and kept looking at it. Shuitong had stood behind Shuilian and Aming and bent his knees to thank him: "Master Wu took care."
Shuilian hugged A Ming and turned to Aunt Sun. Mrs. Sun smiled and took out a small red gold long-life lock that had been prepared. The wet nurse hurried forward to take it. Mrs. Fan also gave the meeting gift. Yueting took out a brand-new purse, pulled out the bright red gold bracelet, twisted the knot buckle, and gave it to A Ming with a smile. Wear it on your hand. Li Xiaoyao drank tea and watched Yueting put a bad golden hand on A Ming. He turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Fan and sighed secretly. The meeting ceremony was properly prepared. It seemed that it was not a temporary intention. He was afraid that she would not let Yueting follow him, so he did it first? Or should I think too much and think too much about everything? Go back and find a chance to have a good chat with her.
