The sun rises above the pole, and the bright sunshine disperses the rain for days. It is a rare warm day that warms the heart. Under the bright sun, the garden party begins, and this year it is more lively than in previous years. It not only attracts many talents from the south of the Yangtze River, but also attracts many people who are rarely seen on weekdays.
Meet the purdah ladies.
This place is a strange sight. It is understandable that young men and scholars are rushing here. They only hope to gain fame and earn good reputation at the garden party. But what are the explanations for these girls who are flocking here?
The young scholar who had forgotten about the garden party was just admiring the graceful and graceful bodies in front of him, each one drooling wildly as he looked at them. But the housekeeper of Dongyue Mansion was extremely busy, and there was nothing he could do with such a large group of girls.
Others didn't understand, but the housekeeper quietly understood, why did these girls come to attend the garden party? Aren't they here to see Mr. Cao Xueqin Cao?
The housekeeper was also angry, wondering what kind of status his master had? How many masterpieces had he left behind? He hadn’t seen many girls who were so crazy. How could he not be as good as a little "Dream of Red Mansions"? He just sighed.
The world is in a hot and cold state, and the world is declining. How can these groups of girls who abandon literature and only want to admire and worship be placed in the mansion? If the master knew that such a group of girls came in to cause trouble, I am afraid he would be furious.
While the housekeeper was thinking about it, he tried his best to prevent the girls from entering. Seeing that more and more girls were coming after hearing the news, the housekeeper hurriedly asked people to go to the prefect to report it, and begged the prefect to send some people over to maintain order.
Not long after, Xia Shang rode a white horse to Dongyue Mansion first. He couldn't help but marvel at the scene of orioles surrounding the front door of the mansion. He thought to himself, could Mr. Dongyue only invite women to his garden party? If this is the case, according to Mr. Dongyue and
I am truly a fellow-minded person.
Xia Shang didn't take a second look, and then drove up.
Chu Jian got out of the car, straightened his body, and was no longer so nervous. He tried his best to remain normal. After bidding farewell to his entourage, he held the invitation and followed Xia Shang to the door.
Perhaps it was because Chu Jian was too handsome when she disguised herself as a man, which caused the girls to make a lot of noise. Those hot eyes seemed to want to skin Chu Jian alive. Even the housekeeper was very excited when he saw Chu Jian.
Surprised, he stepped forward and handed over his hand: "Does this extraordinary and handsome young master have an invitation?"
Chu Jian presented the invitation, and when the housekeeper opened it, he saw only the words "Cao Xueqin" handwritten by Mr. Qingjian. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Chu Jian and looked at Chu Jian for a long time. He sighed in his heart, he didn't expect this girl in the world.
Mr. Cao, who pursues like crazy, is so handsome and young.
As the head of a literary family, I also pay attention to literature and housekeeping. I have read a little bit of "A Dream of Red Mansions", but I was also amazed by the many descriptions and poems in the article. I never expected that those gorgeous chapters were written by such a young and handsome man.
The hand of the young master is quite admirable when you think about it.
Thinking about it, the butler's expression became a little more respectful, and he bowed his hands to the first sight: "Cao..."
As soon as he said a word, the housekeeper remembered the girls around him and quickly lowered his voice: "Please come inside."
After entering the mansion, another little maid led the way, leading the two of them through the side door of the main courtyard, into a corridor, and then passed by the hanging flowers on the upper corridor, and then passed three small tea-scented courtyards, and finally
Arriving at the gardens of Dongyue Mansion.
The so-called garden party is about this garden. The scenery here is not very beautiful, but it is also a pleasant place in the middle of winter. In front of it is a man-made stream, with shallow water and a thin layer of ice on the surface, but the water is clear
, I saw at a glance that groups of koi carp were swimming under the ice, swimming very happily. More than ten meters in front of me, there was a man and a woman who stopped to watch, and they were fascinated.
A pebble path that goes around the stream extends all the way behind the trees in front. However, most of the trees in the courtyard are withered branches and leaves. You can vaguely see the flower beds further back. Only the low shrubs still have green leaves, so I went to beat them.
There is a layer of frost and it looks sick.
When Xia Shang and Chu Jian first entered the garden, they naturally took a look at the surrounding environment.
While observing, the man and woman watching the water in front noticed the two people who had just arrived, and greeted Xia Shang and Chu Jian from a distance.
He responded politely at first sight and looked back at Xia Shang.
Xia Shang nodded and motioned to go over and take a look.
Xia Shanghe met the two people not far away from the front. The young man was quite graceful. He bowed his hands and saluted Chu and said: "Take this road and pass the flower bed. There is a century-old locust tree ten meters away from the old locust tree.
Next is a courtyard. That is where we will play today at the garden party. There are fine wines and delicious food, and the smell of dried fruits. The young master can go there to rest. From time to time, Mr. Dongyue will also appear there."
When I first saw him, he smiled modestly and said thank you. However, with a simple words, the girl next to the young master was so fascinated that he wondered where the handsome brother came from.
When the young master saw the look on the accompanying girl's face, he felt a little unhappy, but he couldn't say anything.
Xia Shang coughed dryly and signaled Chu Jian to leave quickly.
The two of them walked forward, bypassing a few dead trees that obscured the view, and walked along as the young master said before.
It only took a moment to see the Sanyuan mentioned by the young master.
This is an open space in the garden, forty to fifty square meters, enough for twenty or thirty people to gather together. The ground is made of ordinary bluestone tiles, but the paving is extremely smooth. There are six long stone tables on the sides, each table can accommodate a seat.
For two people, eight mahogany square tables were added in the middle, and each table could seat four people. There were some flower and garden sculptures on the side, and a century-old locust tree stood alone on one side, with dead leaves on the ground, and the scenery was still poetic.
There were not many people sitting in the room. There were three or five literati sitting in the west corner, four girls around the northwest corner, two young people sitting in the middle, and a few idle men and women walking around, chatting and laughing back and forth at the three tables.
.
Xia and Shang walked over. The man in the room was focused on talking and never noticed the two of them. Only the four women at the table were absent-minded, looking left and right as if they were looking for someone. When they saw Chu Jian and Xia Shang, they were immediately attracted by Chu Jian.
Attracted by his handsomeness, he hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands to ask: "Master, my little girl Fang Rui, this is so polite. I wonder what your surname is? Where do you come from?"
Chu Jian was about to answer when another voice came from beside him: "Since you can enter the Dongyue Mansion, you are certainly not an ordinary person. Everyone here has his own name and his own identity. There is no need to explain it in words here.
Today at the garden party, one is to enjoy the scenery and the other is to talk about talents. Learning skills relies on real materials, not false legends. My master, Mr. Dongyue, doesn't like others to meet friends in the name of others. When we came to this garden party, we talked about each other.
There is no need to tell your name."
The speaker was a middle-aged man who came from the inner courtyard. He had fine features and a handsome voice. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.
It's just that his voice is nice, but his words are not so nice.
The girl who spoke, Miss Fang, glared at him hatefully and then returned to her seat. (To be continued)
