Chapter Thirty-Nine: A Visit to Xiangfu
In the season when the garden is full of apricot powder, the business of Suyun clothing store is booming, leading the spring color of the entire Yongning City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Su Yun's business was on the right track, and Yingluo began to deal with the expansion of the small house.
The courtyard next to the small house covers a large area, which just meets Han Yue's requirements. Ying Luo inquired several times and knew that this mansion was the old mansion of the Xiang family in the south of the city, except for the two old slaves who guarded the house, there was no one else to live in, and it belonged to an idle house.
Yingluo found an intermediary to talk to Mrs. Xiang about the pre-order, and asked Mrs. Han Ziyue to come to the interview in person.
"Childe, your carriage is ready, when will it leave?"
Xing Ren ran into Su Yun's ready-to-wear store and asked.
"Brother Ren, hard work! Let's go now! ”
Han Yue was dressed in a white robe and never left her hand.
There was a strange carriage parked at the entrance of Suyun, the body of the carriage was very high, the iron wheel was actually one person high, the driver's seat could seat two people, there were iron guardrails on both sides, the whole body was black, and it was pulled by two black horses. This is Han Yue's imitation of the carriage based on the English carriage, and its shape and design in the carriage were completed by herself.
Han Yue got into the car from the built-in staircase, Xing Ren flicked the horsewhip, and the black carriage roared up and drove towards the south of the city to his home.
This one-of-a-kind carriage represents Su Yun and also highlights Han Ziyue's identity.
The homestead of Xiangjia in the south of the city is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful. There is a thick mulberry tree in front of the door of Xiangfu, and its dense branches and leaves climb the wall, and half of it grows in Xiangfu.
Xing Ren jumped out of the carriage neatly and parked the car firmly under the mulberry tree.
Han Yue stood outside the door and looked up at the plaque of Xiangfu, Xing Ren tied his horse and walked quickly forward to knock on the door.
The little guy who came to answer the door was dressed in a dark brown linen coat and wore a crooked black hat on his head.
"Looking for whom?"
"My son-in-law is Su Yun's boss Han Ziyue, and he was invited by your wife to come and see him."
Xing Ren explained with a kind smile.
Han Yue couldn't help but laugh when she saw Xing Ren's professional etiquette. He has made great progress in these days in Suyun Clothing Store, and he has done a good job of treating people and things, smiling at people for three points and giving seven points of courtesy.
"It turned out to be Han Gongzi, a small faux pas, my wife has an explanation, if you come, please go directly to Qinyuan, please!"
Han Yue took the lead in walking towards the depths of the mansion, followed by Xing Ren. The little maid closed the door and quickly followed, and Luo Hanyue took a step to lead the way for the two of them.
The melodious sound of the piano came from afar, bypassing the small purple flowers blooming in the garden, disturbing the small red goldfish in the lotus pond, lingering on the railing of the flower pavilion, and the sound lingered in the morning and twilight.
"What's the sound of the piano?" Han Yue asked curiously.
"This is coming from the direction of Qinyuan, my wife should be waiting for you in Qinyuan."
"I'm tired of you!"
Han Yue raised her hand slightly and motioned for the little girl to move on.
A few people passed through a fan-shaped moon gate, walked up a gravel path, and walked along the green onion bamboo forest towards Qinyin.
There is a stone table in the depths of the rockery, and there is a woman in a white shirt sitting in front of the table, her hands are soft, her skin is like condensation, quiet and elegant like magnolia, graceful like osmanthus, with a refreshing fragrance.
A red sandalwood guqin pours out the joy of the small bridge and flowing water on her fingertips, and the sound of the 'rustling' wind in the bamboo forest makes the listener feel like being in an empty mountain valley, the moon is clear and the stars are bright, and the thatched hut is quiet.
"Han Gongzi?" The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and Yu Shu raised her eyes to look at the young man standing at the edge of the bamboo forest, with a thin and tall figure, a pair of dark eyes, holding a folding fan, and looking at this side with a smile.
"Aunt Yu, the younger Han Zi is more polite."
Han Yue stepped forward with a smile, the corners of her mouth shallow and concave, leading to a sweet smile.
"If you can take this trip, you have already given face to the old student, and you have to say 'Aunt Yu', the old student's chest is sweet!"
Yu Shu had a little fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, a kind smile, and a hemp white dress was loosely covered on her body, revealing her intellectual beauty that could not be hidden.
"Being able to get Aunt Yu's invitation is a blessing that Ziyue cultivated in his previous life." Han Yue was humble and polite, and her gestures were full of the demeanor of everyone's sons.
"Ziyue Xian's nephew?"
"The juniors are here!" The smile on Han Yue's face deepened, and she returned playfully.
"Please in the house!" The smile between Yu Shu's eyebrows became brighter.
The simple decoration makes the room a little cool, the bamboo mat curtain is rolled up, and there is an ebony chess table on the rattan Luohan chair, and the black and white chess on the chessboard are all jade, which is transparent. There is a low couch by the window, and there is a set of tea drinking utensils on the couch, and the faint fragrance of tea comes from the stove.
"Knowing that the virtuous nephew is coming, I warmed a pot of Dongshu's rock tea early, you come and taste it!"
Yu Shu gently pulled her skirt and sat on the futon, and stretched out her hand to signal Han Yue to sit down.
Han Yue took the pottery cup in Yu Shu's hand, raised her sleeves and raised her arms to raise the teacup to her lips and sniffed it gently.
"Good tea!"
Han Yue doesn't understand tea, but as long as the tea soup is not bitter, it is good tea.
"If you like, you can take some back with you when you go." Yu Shu likes the young man in front of her very much, and there is a pair of eyes with hidden wisdom on her delicate face.
"Then Ziyue won't be polite to Aunt Yu! About the house? ”
Han Yue scratched her head and raised her eyebrows, her face a little embarrassed.
"Of course there is no problem, it is an old house, and the family is thin, and it has been idle and has not been dealt with, if the virtuous nephew sees it, I will send it to you."
Yu Shu's smiling eyes didn't look like she was laughing.
Han Yue hurriedly waved her hand and refused, she couldn't be too cheeky.
"No, no!"
"The virtuous nephew doesn't know, my husband Huaiyuan fell in the First World War, and I couldn't leave a son and a half daughter for me, and the Xiang family has been broken since then."
Talking about this, Yu Shu's face was sad or joyless, indifferent, and the corners of her mouth were smiling.
"Why didn't Aunt Yu ......?"
Han Yue wanted to ask why she didn't marry again?
"My husband treats me like a treasure, how can I abandon him like a shoe?"
Yu Shu's eyes were full of happy smiles, Han Yue was puzzled, how could there be such love in the world? How could there be a woman like her who was not afraid of loneliness?
"Aunt Yu, the gentleman among women, the more respectful the child! If he can find a lover like Aunt Yu one day, Ziyue will definitely live up to him in this life. ”
"Will meet!"
In the afternoon, Han Yuefang left from Xiangfu, and when he left, he really brought the tea sent by Yu Shu. Han Yue doesn't drink tea often, but Murong Yuxuan is good at it.
"Madam, Han Gongzi's carriage is so strange!"
Yu Shu's little maid stood at the door and accompanied her to look at the river.
"It's weird! Like his temperament. ”
Yu Shu smiled and looked at the sparkling river, seeing this boy today, it made her feel a little cordial, a sense of déjà vu, if that girl hadn't died, I'm afraid she would be so old.
"Little Green! Do you remember Ying'er? ”
"How can you not remember? She is Madame's only child. Thirteen years ago...... She, that day, the lady was intercepted, and the general and his daughter chased after her, but she was ...... If the young lady is still alive, I am afraid that she will be as old as Han Gongzi. ”
"There is a bit of pity for the heroism of a peasant between his eyebrows!"
"General? Madame said that, it really looks a bit like that! It's a pity that he is a man, otherwise the slave would have thought that the young lady had come back to life! ”
Xiang Liannong and Yu Shu once had a daughter, but in a battle, their daughter was robbed by the Hu people, and her life and death are unknown.
"If it weren't for the mercy of the farmer who was dedicated to me, he wouldn't have lost that child, and I still owe her in the end."
Yu Shu's eyes rippled slightly, and a tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
