Chapter 183 Outline

Peach blossoms and spring buds, willows droop.Located on the banks of the Qinhuai River, this small courtyard by Wuyi Lane has welcomed new residents these days.

Qinhuai Wuyi Alley has always been a landmark area in Jiangning City. The alley is not wide, and it is not as spacious as Suzaku Street, Confucius Temple and other places, but it also loses a lot of copper and worldly atmosphere, and has a lot of literary and ink. The breath has been favored by many literati and writers for thousands of years. "In the past, Wang Xietang and Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people." There are already a lot of people, and it is naturally impossible to say that it is as quiet as imagined.

As the poem says, this Wuyi Lane is no longer a rich and noble place where Wang Xiena and others can live, but in fact, due to its long-standing reputation, it is still not an exaggeration to say that the location here is an inch of land and an inch of gold.Nowadays, those who can occupy a place here are often only qualified by wealthy and wealthy families with backgrounds. If they are just ordinary upstarts, if they have money, they want to buy a courtyard with a touch of literary style. If they do not have an official background, it is extremely Disaster.Therefore, although this courtyard looks unattractive at present, the people who can actually live in it are naturally people with a certain background.

This courtyard looks ancient and clumsy, but it is only restrained on the outside. In fact, it is a beautiful layout. The layout of the courtyards is exquisite, and the bright colors are not many, but they are full of literary and life atmosphere. In fact, the vision is good, and it is refreshing to see at a glance.

At this time, there were still people moving things around in the yard. A middle-aged woman in a gray-blue cloth dress frowned and shouted as she walked by. When she entered the innermost room facing the river, she looked in through the window. glanced.The woman sitting in front of the bronze mirror took off her men's clothes, let her hair down, and dressed herself.

The middle-aged woman knocked on the door and went in, trying to look very unhappy—in fact, she was really unhappy: "Where's Chunmei? Why isn't there?"

"I just washed her face, I told her to go out to pour water, and then let her bring some paper and ink in. The pile of things is deep, she is probably still looking for it at this time." The woman smiled into the bronze mirror, "Mom is going out today. Did you have a good time?"

"No! I told you don't always go out as a woman disguised as a man, you go again, you go again, Chunmei is also a dead girl, tell her to follow you or not, come over later and see me and scold her …”

"It's not about Chunmei, I left her alone. She was crying when she came back, maybe because she was afraid that your mother would scold her... and I'm not going alone. I met Brother Yu today, and he went with him. of."

"I'm crying..." The middle-aged woman learned from her words and sneered, "I probably cried once or twice at first, you say that every time, where did she cry... that Yu Hezhong is nothing. Good thing, when I see you, I'm like a dog who just wants to steal fish, nodding and bowing..."

"Brother Yu is actually quite good, there's nothing like what my mother said. And it's cats who want to steal, dogs don't, dogs..." When the woman said this, she laughed, but she didn't want to. Speak those filthy words.

"Yes, like a stealing cat, nodding and bowing... If it wasn't because he was an old acquaintance with you, I wouldn't let him in. Well, in fact, Mom, I'm not a person who doesn't care about human feelings, it's just this Yu Hezhong is not worthy of you, it's okay to take care of your old relationship, it's okay to invite him to a few parties, but he is not as talented as those people in the world, so he doesn't have to lose face. If you want to gain an inch, you think you really like him, Shishi."

The middle-aged woman thought brokenly: "Man, this is something you want to be together, but you can't get it in the end, it's always painful, in fact, it doesn't matter if he is in pain, all the sons and brothers in the capital like you, but you have only one teacher, always want to My heart is broken, mother, I don't care if those people die or live. Men don't want to serve the country, so they spend their minds on women. They die clean! But you are soft-hearted. I have to feel guilty again. Mom always thinks about you. When you break it, break it, let him die as soon as possible, and break this idea is just right, you see you come out this time to relax, he stubbornly follows, you are still alone Going out with him alone, wouldn't the sheep go into the tiger's mouth..."

"Brother Yu's family is here. It's normal to come here together when you have free time... Besides, my daughter is only dressed in men's clothes, which looks quite annoying. If Big Brother Yu can do it, it's really not picky..."

Between the laughter, the woman has put down her long hair, and has probably finished removing her makeup and dressing up.When she was dressed in men's clothes, her chin looked a little pointed and her forehead was a little high. If she was a man, she looked a little thin.In fact, this is also what she did deliberately. Originally, her forehead was a little higher, and it was impossible to see it in women's clothes. Men's clothes can also be covered with a little powder, but she deliberately highlighted the high forehead and small chin. Although she is still a beautiful woman, look It seemed a little awkward to come.

At this time, she restored her dress, put down her hair, and returned to the image of a gentle and beautiful beauty, and joked with her mother, with a lazy and intelligent smile.At this moment, the door opened once, and a maid named Chunmei came in with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. When she saw the middle-aged woman, she lowered her head. She put down the Four Treasures of the Study on the small table on the side, originally wanting to help polish the ink. , Li Shishi waved his hand calmly as he spoke, and the maid retreated and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief.Don't be scolded by mom.

This middle-aged mother's surname is Li and her name is Li Yun. She has been taken in by Li Shishi since she was five years old. She doesn't understand the character of this daughter. Li Shishi said that Yu Hezhong's words were a joke, not serious. Small movements naturally fall into the eyes.She couldn't help but pouted, she didn't have the heart to scold the little girl now, she just shook her head:
"No serious words, Yu Hezhong doesn't have the guts... You see, he has a mediocre poetry and a mediocre personality, and now he doesn't even have guts, what kind of people are you in contact with, Shishi, why bother to deal with him... and Man, it's hard to say when you suddenly ate the guts of an ambitious leopard and gave it up..."

The woman sat down at the small table, poured the tea into the inkstone, and was grinding the ink, but she burst out laughing: "If he has the guts, what if his daughter leaves him?"

"Master, if you have a reputation now, that would kill him..."

"It's also romantic to be a ghost."

The setting sun shot in from the window, and the woman in a pink dress sat at the small table, picked up the sheep pen and looked at it, but then stuck out the tip of her tongue and gently licked the tip of the pen. It seems simple and elegant, but also has an unspeakable charming atmosphere during the period.It's just that the mother on the side frowned slightly: "Don't lick it, I already said that you have a problem..." But she saw the woman took the brush and put it in the ink, and then drew on the white paper.

"...The world is difficult, and it's not easy to be a human being. Mom, I also know that Big Brother Yu has such and such shortcomings, but we can't really do what Jin Guixing can do..."

The middle-aged woman frowned: "It's Jin Gui's business! Teacher, you are now a Jin Gui person, ask everyone like this!"

"I don't think so." With his back to her, the sun came in from the woman's front window, "It's just... it's just a business, Mom, Brother Yu and the others have to chase after them, it's their own business, he feels happy, he I find it interesting. He will have to take care of things in the future. I did what he wanted, and regarded him as a friend and a big brother. Of course, he would be grateful to me. , what he remembers is all my bad things, and it is impossible to be happy, and it is difficult to say whether it is good or not..."

She thought for a while: "Other people divide the world into three, six and nine grades. Just like what you said, I am a person of gold and noble, and I am a high-class person. They come to our Fanlou. When I chatted and talked, I felt that I had done high-level things too. When I interacted with talented people like Brother Zhou, I was regarded as a high-level thing, and when I interacted with people like Brother Yu, I felt that it was a middle-class thing. Mom, I seldom feel this way. I think everyone should be the same, but everyone thinks this way, and I can't change it. Brother Yu feels that it is very honorable to interact with me and that he has done a good thing. I also feel happy, because I let him do these first-class things in this life."

"He has done high-class things, and when he feels high-class happiness, he should have high-class troubles and hardships. If he has been middle-class all his life, married and married, he will be a small official in the future and do ordinary things. The thing is, you can't see the oiran in the brothel, so he will naturally have moderate joy and trouble. The teacher is so big, and he doesn't know whether it is superior, medium, or inferior, and he always has his own troubles. If you look carefully, you will also have your own joy, I let Big Brother Yu and the others feel that they have become superior people, I have given others joy and satisfaction, and I have also done something..."

"Mom, you said that I should stop these things. I also know that Brother Yu is incomparable to those great talents in your eyes. Of course, I also like Brother Zhou and their poetic conversation and insight. But what I like about Brother Yu is not these, I associate with him because Big Brother Yu was an old acquaintance when he was a child. Isn't that how old acquaintances should be? There are such and such shortcomings, a middle-aged appearance, and no matter how hard you try, you can't be a real genius. Who can be with Big Brother Zhou since he was a child? , Big Brother Ji, Big Brother Tao, they met such geniuses. When I was young, I was called Radish Head, hehe, Wang Family's Radish Head... Li Family's Radish Head..."

Li's mother frowned: "You were very beautiful then, and radish head doesn't mean you are ugly..."

Li Shishi painted and did not answer: "I know Big Brother Yu, and I have contacts with him, and sometimes I feel that I have a noble character, and I can never leave such an old acquaintance. He would say something like: 'Yeah, why do you see that Li Shishi is attracted to He Zhong Qingyan?'' I don't know, because Yu Hezhong and her were acquaintances when they were children, so even though they were a little bit different, Li Shishi was very fond of him. Okay.' They always think I'm fine, and I'm always a little bit happy..."

She said and laughed: "Mom, you know, since I started learning the piano when I was a child, I have always liked these praises. I am quite a vain person..."

"It's a big reason, but it's still perfunctory..." Li's mother rubbed her forehead and sighed, "Stop talking about this, let's do what you like... Well, you are going to the old alley today, see you Have you got something?"

"It's still the same, it's almost the same as before, but unfortunately the old man who taught the piano is gone..." The woman moved the pen in her hand, and while she was talking, a pair of danqing about the alley had already appeared on the paper, she thought about it, on the top Click on a few figures, "Well, I only saw a person I knew before..."

*************
There are already Yunzhu and Jin'er in front of it, and it is really difficult to draw a different outline of a well-known Nahan.There is a girl who is as pure as a nun who was killed by me in the draft, and I mourned for 3 minutes...
