Chapter 79: My cousin is coming
When Mrs. Xiao saw a pair of children coming together, she thought that her daughter was willing to go out for a walk. She was also happy and asked her to arrange the arrangements for the guests at home to settle the house. During the intermission, she asked Gu Xiying what she had been doing in the yard these days.
Gu Xiying also casually talked about her daughter's work, and did not mention Yun Qing's affairs at all.
If my daughter doesn't mention it, Mrs. Xiao won't ask.
Mrs. Xiao, who can even let her daughter practice her skills at home, has always been a big shot in the education of her children. Now that her daughter has something to worry about, she can still keep herself in order. If she grows up, she will not have that much time.
There is always a process. At the age of her daughter, she has done a good job. It is so good that everyone feels a little sad and apologetic.
Mrs. Xiao patted her daughter's hand and pulled her to sit beside her. She continued to arrange the orders with the insulator Mrs. Feng, the manager of the inner courtyard. Gu Xiying took a quick look and said that except for the two large screens that were to be opened to move the large warehouse, the other items were very light and there were many in each courtyard's small warehouse.
Six days ago, Gu Xiying also received a letter from this guest. The letter was very detailed, and said that he had prepared surprises for himself and said that Huize's Night Pearl was also very good this spring, so he wanted to bring a box to take a look. He said that he had found a good copybook, and he also said that he had made a very good rubbing. He also said that there was a wonder of Wu and Yue this year, and that there was a beach that turned pink.
He sprinkled several pieces of paper, and finally mentioned it. Recently, Wu Yue was busy with internal affairs. He was the only one who came to celebrate his uncle's birthday. He would arrive in Jingyang in mid-May.
It seems that the purpose is not important, what is important is the slightest and interesting things that you see and hear.
Gu Xiying smiled sincerely. Wu Yue has not been peaceful recently, and there are always some noise in the mountains on the sea. I roughly calculated that my little cousin has not entered Jingyang for two years. "My grandma, isn't cousin Jing still four days before he arrives? Why did he start to make arrangements today?"
Mrs. Xiao smiled helplessly, "A Jing, this child, is unwilling to take the bus. Forget the letter from us with a fast horse's journey. When we received it, we had been away from Jianzhou for more than ten days. He was still slow and stopped a lot along the way. I received the letter this morning. Everyone has passed Shangzhou for most of the day. If we don't take a break, we may be able to enter Jingyang when the sunset is setting."
Gu Yubin also laughed: "My cousin Jing has been impatient since she was a child. When she was five years old, she pulled Axi to climb a mountain and rushed back to her head. She still disliked Axi's slow climbing. She was so angry that Asi kept shouting that she was only three years old, and it was common sense that she couldn't keep up. Axi laughed that Asi's legs were short. At that time, Asi was young and didn't talk very carefully with her cousin Jing. Every time she climbed the mountain, she had to make arguing, and the two of them would still have to be together next time. The arguing made her aunt have a headache."
Gu Yubin said it interestingly, and Madam Qin also laughed. The whole room was relaxed and happy.
These childhood events may still be fresh in memory for the twelve-year-old Gu Xiying, but for Gu Xiying at this time, it is already vague and far away, and even if it is described so clearly, it is difficult to remember.
In Gu Xiying's memory, this young cousin of Wu Yue, with a bright breeze and a handsome and sparse moon, was free and elegant while walking, and always spoke like a spring breeze. He was sought after and admired by famous scholars from all walks of life, and even Zhou Guangxu praised him very much. He was known as "Wu Yue Yuzhang Gong".
But although he only loved the mountains, rivers, and the wind and moon, when his brother, Song Jia, passed away suddenly, he supported Wu Yue with his own strength. He worked together to protect Wu Yue from disputes in various countries and raised his young nephews to adulthood. When his nephews became adults, he returned all his power without any nostalgia and lived in seclusion. From then on, there was no trace of his reciprocity except for the New Year's Day exchanges with the British Duke's Mansion.
A legend of life, even known as Yue Chengxian.
Gu Xiying carefully recalled the scenes of her childhood, but she racked her brains and only had one and a half-old man walking on the mountain road with her back on her vague appearance.
"I don't remember." Gu Xiying pouted.
Mrs. Xiao laughed again.
Gu Xiying ignored them and simply took the arranged list. The items were placed very carefully, and Madam Feng was very dedicated. She also added many unique things in the south that Wu Yue sent back in previous years. I think it was to ask Song Jing to live here comfortably and feel more at home.
Gu Xiying put the order and thought about it, then asked: "Does my mother want Cousin Jing to live in Linguangyuan?"
The bed and gauze tent on the list, and then half a screen is placed in the bright room of Linguang Pavilion. Then, surrounded by the sky curtain in the courtyard, and the sun shines in, which is the real sunlight. If there is a summer breeze, the floating tent will make the outside of the Mingtang shimmer, as if it is by the water. It can be seen that it is dedicated.
Mrs. Xiao nodded, and Madam Qin said, "That's right. Madam thought that Linguangyuan is large, close to the side door, convenient to enter and exit, not far from several yards, so Young Master Chou will be more lively when he comes."
Madam Qin didn't tell me the secret. Linguangyuan was on the inside of the garden, not far from Tinglanyuan and Yanqiyuan, and not far from Songtaoju. However, if you go there, you have to take a long way to go. Because Linguangyuan leans against the garden waterside pavilion, Song Jing was impatient. Even if he wanted to find Gu Yubin, he would definitely make an appointment elsewhere.
"Don't go around these. There is Linguang Pavilion next to Linguang Garden. Qinyuan is separated by a few walls. Those staff members often come and go to the place, which is inconvenient. Since he has prepared a floating light tent for him, he simply let his cousin Jing live in Lingbo Hall. There is nothing more floating light than that. What's the use of Linguang Garden? He only brought one or two people with him to live in our house. It's empty and boring. It's useless to lean against the door. I guess he won't go out of the house every day. Anyway, he has fast legs and feet, so he should let him walk."
Gu Xiying smiled and changed Song Jing to a place to live. Mrs. Xiao had no objection. Gu Yubin heard her sister's last sentence, which was to laugh. Madam Qin and Madam Feng were a little hesitant.
Lingbo Pavilion is not remote, and it is closer to Tinglan Garden. However, it is said to be a small restaurant, but it is actually no different from the small building by the lake. There are only three rooms and one open pavilion. There are not many flowers and trees in the yard, and only two rockery, which is really a bit simpler than Linguang Garden. As for the layout on today's list, I'm afraid it will be thrifty to save half of it.
Madam Qin and Madam Feng looked at each other. Gu Xiying knew their concerns and said, "Don't worry, Cousin Jing is not the one who cares about these things. When he turned around and moved in, you said it was my arrangement. If you were not satisfied, come and ridicule me. If your family comes to the door, what are you trying to show off?"
"Hey." After Madam Feng got Gu Xiying's words, he seemed to have a reassurance. In fact, the things on the preparatory list were packed in the afternoon, and it seemed a little difficult to clean up. If he changed to Lingbo Hall, it would be much more relaxed and he could pack it up at noon. Madam Feng happily went to arrange the arrangements, thinking that the county lord was polite to the servants at home.
"You are sure of A Jing," said Gu Yubin.
