Mrs. Tai is really rich

Chapter 50
The dense and green branches cover the deep courtyard, and there are still early spring flowers in the courtyard showing red and bright colors, blooming leisurely and leisurely.The spring is full of joy, and the pavilions and terraces form an interesting contrast, and the pavilions and pavilions in the garden are full of spring fun under the shade.

Young swallows are learning to fly, and the nests on the bamboo curtain are empty and silent; the shadows of koi swimming in the wide pool outside the curtain are turning around, and the beautiful spring scenery attracts people's eyes.

Haishi has been in a particularly comfortable mood these past few days. Apart from Xie Haowen's thoughtfulness and the child's peace of mind, the list of banquets about the polo club that was sent to her a few days ago really made her extremely satisfied. Well, the list is almost full of aristocratic families in the capital, as well as those talented women and scholars who are famous outside, have been invited, not to mention how rare it is that those nobles from aristocratic families are willing to show their face to participate in a polo club. Just say how rare it is for those self-proclaimed talented men and women to attend a banquet!
No one can compare to this ostentation. Although her mother-in-law is not very old, her status is really extremely noble. I guess, there are not many other companies that can invite so many people like theirs. Well, this time she won't believe it, she can't bring back a good son-in-law and daughter-in-law for herself!

Haishi is a person who knows how to repay her kindness. She is grateful for Gu Ruosu's kindness this time. She heard that Gu Ruosu didn't sleep well these days, so she hurriedly sent some incense and medicinal food that are good for sleeping. The weather was fine, and a spring banquet was held directly to win Gu Ruosu's favor. The beautiful scenery and delicacies, the delicacies, and the clever Youlian and the most prosperous troupe were playing music, dancing, and performances. It can be said to be very dedicated .

As expected, the facts were not as Haishi had expected. Under such careful arrangements, Gu Ruosu was very appreciative, and his mood could be said to be much better. At least, his brows were no longer frowning.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law heard that the troupe has recently produced a new play, saying that it is three dozen spider spirits. If you don't wait, let them perform for mother." Haishi sat next to Gu Ruosu, fawning on her. Said like.

When Gu Ruosu heard this, she also nodded her head to express her good intentions. She has been feeling really depressed recently, and she often stays behind closed doors. The repertoires performed by these theater troupes not only include doubles, heartbreakers, and scumbags, but even related repertoires of the most popular "Bamboo Horse Can't Beat the Sky" in her era, and they are well-produced , it was still a live performance, but I also had the joy of watching a drama. For a while, Gu Ruosu's troubles were forgotten.

"It's fine if mother likes it. As long as mother likes it, my daughter-in-law will often invite this troupe to our house to perform for mother."

"Well, that's not necessary. When there is a new play, we can go out and watch it by ourselves. I think it will have a different flavor."

"Yes, yes, what my mother said is that there are many people to be lively. If mother wants to go, she can let those children accompany her. The meaning of the daughter-in-law, the meaning of the younger brothers and sisters, and the niece of the daughter-in-law's family are all very important." I am happy to accompany my mother."

"Let's talk about it~ These things should be discussed in the long run. Besides, don't children nowadays like to go to some literati and poetry clubs? That's where they make friends with their peers. Such theaters are all for old people like us. ...People who have enough experience prefer to go."

[What’s so old, my mental age is only 18, alas~ it’s all caused by this body~]
"If you don't believe me, take a look, there are still a few children sitting obediently in our house." Gu Ruosu ordered a few empty seats as he said, and those seats were really a coincidence, thank you Yi and Hai Pingting The seat was in the middle, Hai Shi could only make excuses and smiled, not daring to make any rebuttals.

[This group of children really makes me worry!When it's so good, I don't know how to take care of it, which means that this girl is really worried... She knows how to mess with me every day, she doesn't look like a girl at all... and that girl Pingting is also the same... … At first, she looked like an obedient and obedient girl. Unexpectedly, at such a short time, she took the opportunity to run outside. She didn't know what she was busy with. Even the maid wouldn't let her. Feelings or doing what she told her is the best... If the door of Xie's family is lucky, it is her good fortune that she comes in... But if not... then it would be a waste of all the good and hard work of being an aunt Carefully. ] Haishi thought of this, raised the wine in the glass with gloomy eyes, and drank it in one gulp. The wine immediately stimulated her taste buds.

At this time, Hai Pingting, whom Haishi was thinking about, escaped from all the maids and servants, and was wearing an inconspicuous smoke-gray long dress, holding a round orchid fan half-hidden her face, and was staying in the same room. In a sparsely populated place.

Just look at two servants standing outside a courtyard gate in a desolate place, and inside the courtyard gate, a pair of Bi people standing on the covered bridge, both sides of the covered bridge are full of willow trees, with countless wicker strands, The catkins are as white as snow in the breeze.

The scent of flowers from the garden is constantly pouring into the noses of the two, and the beautiful shadows of the two in front of them make up this infinite spring fun.

"I went to play to my grandmother again this morning, but I didn't see you."

"Well... Early this morning, my aunt asked me to accompany my cousin to choose clothes for the polo club, which delayed me for a while. Later, I heard that the Duke is also here, so I don't want to disturb the family happiness of your grandparents."

"Well... You can actually come next time. Although my grandfather is cold to others, he is the gentlest in front of my grandmother. It's no big deal."

"That's right... That's right... Grandfather also said today that I am more cheerful, and that I play the piano much better, so he specially gave me this. I think you girls will like these things like gold and jade." Why don't you take it? Ask someone to make a style you like..." Xie Changbai took out a piece of uncut sapphire from his bosom, and handed it to Hai Pingting, with longing and embarrassment in his eyes.

The uncut sapphire in Xie Changbai's hands has a simple beauty.Its color is fresh and elegant, exuding a fresh and refined atmosphere.It's also beautifully shaped, with smooth curves and soft edges.Under the sunlight, sapphire will show a soft luster, and its pure color makes people intoxicated.

The uncarved sapphire seems to be a masterpiece of nature. The beauty of the streamer it presents cannot be reproduced artificially, showing its beauty and preciousness.

Hai Pingting pursed her lips, she liked this piece of jade very much in her heart, but in the end she hesitated for a moment, and still did not take the piece of sapphire, she stretched out her hand and pushed the jade towards Xie Changbai, saying: "This piece of jade It's really a good thing, I like it very much, but this piece of jade was given to you by the Duke of the country, and I won't be rewarded for nothing, so what's the matter with taking it?"

"But... this jade is very beautiful..." Xie Changbai explained palely.

"I know it's beautiful, but...my mother said...girls can't take other people's things casually...you have to return gifts...your jade is too precious...I have nothing to pay back..." Hai Pingting said quite quietly.

She is really not polite. Although she has the status of the eldest daughter, but few younger brothers and sisters who are born later live in a happy life. Let alone such a good thing, she just sees it. Also very few.

She likes Xie Changbai, and also likes the things he sent... like the plate of pastries he sent before... a box of good tea or a good pen... She loves them all...

But she didn't want to accept such a precious gift from Xie Changbai just like this... The relationship between the two should be one between you and the other... If she has always accepted Xie Changbai's kindness to her unconditionally...then their relationship is far from pure love Far away...closer to that substance...

Hai Pingting thought this way, but Xie Changbai didn't. When Xie Changbai heard this, he thought that Hai Pingting didn't intend to continue dating him, and was very anxious. I don't know what to say, in the end, I just stammered and asked: "Is there anything wrong with me... I can change it... Don't... Don't... Ignore... I... ..." When he said the last word, Xie Changbai's voice was almost weak like a mosquito buzzing.

Hearing this, Hai Pingting also understood that Xie Changbai had misunderstood, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No...no...you are a good person...I really like being with you...but this thing is really It's too expensive...I dare not accept it...Many good things don't last long with me..."

[Since childhood, my younger brothers and sisters will definitely have what I have, but what I don’t have...they will definitely have it...even if I get a good thing occasionally...it will be theirs after all...] ​​These words, Hai Pingting I said silently in my heart...

"Then... I'll give you... How about your favorite multicolored silk thread from Yuanyangzhai? You said you like embroidery the most... Embroider with their thread... Maybe it can match your craftsmanship..." Thank you Changbai also came from hard times, so he naturally understands Hai Pingting's situation very well, but the recent days have been too smooth, and he only wants to be good to Hai Pingting, so he has lost his sense... Xie Changbai heart Xia was very annoyed, and hurriedly said this to make up for it.

"Okay... If you give me silk thread, I'll sew a case for you when I turn back. Your piano is a good one, but the case is a bit old, so it's better to use a new one..." Hai Pingting knew Like her, Xie Changbai still doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, he only knows how to treat someone well, so he will give him things and share his favorite things with her, so he no longer twitches, and immediately accepts it.

"Well... If you gave me a piano cover, I will cherish it... I will live up to your craftsmanship..."

"By the way...in a few days, there will be a polo meeting in the mansion...Grandmother said she hoped that I would also play polo. This time polo is a male and female team. How about you and I... go to the field to have fun together? " Xie Changbai invited.

Hai Pingting's eyes were flickering, and her eyes were erratic. Then she covered her face with a fan and said, "I'm not good at playing polo...forget it...I'll just cheer you on..."

Xie Changbai felt a little disappointed, but he didn't take it to heart, he only thought that Hai Pingting's life was difficult, or her talent was not good, she didn't learn or didn't study well.

"It's getting late, let's go back. If it's late, I think my aunt will go out to find someone." Hai Pingting said suddenly.

"Ah? Well, you go back first. I'll wait until you go back before leaving. I'll just watch you here." Xie Changbai's eyes were full of affection at the moment, and he looked at Hai Pingting quietly with such eyes Feeling his gaze, Hai Pingting slowly raised her head and smiled at Xie Changbai.Their eyes met, as if the whole world had stopped.

The blue sky, the white clouds, the sun is shining, and everything is full of vitality.Under this beautiful sunny sky, it is like an endless scroll, and the soft light makes people feel warm.On this cobblestone path, Hai Pingting was walking slowly in a smoky gray skirt. Her long hair fluttered gently with the breeze, and her hairpin swayed slightly. Her graceful figure and light steps made people feel Involuntarily want to stare.Suddenly, Hai Pingting stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked at Xie Changbai. Her eyes revealed all kinds of tenderness, which made people's hearts move.

Xie Changbai who was behind her was also quite surprised, but still responded happily.

Hai Pingting took a few steps forward, and then looked back.Xie Changbai also turned his head and smiled at her.The girl's pace is getting slower and slower, and she will look back every time she takes a step, as if she is reluctant to leave.And Xie Changbai also stood on the same spot, watching her back silently.

The last time when Hai Pingting was about to disappear into Xie Changbai's eyes as a dot, Hai Pingting turned her head again. At this moment, Hai Pingting's eyes were unconsciously filled with tears.

Hai Pingting wiped away her tears with all her strength, forced a smile, then waved her hand lightly, and left with light steps.

Looking at Hai Pingting's back, Xie Changbai's expression was very reluctant, and for some reason, there was a feeling of anxiety in his heart, as if he had lost something important, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought he was just in love, Just ignorant.

He waited silently for a while, thinking in his heart, maybe Hai Pingting should have returned to the banquet at this time, but he was still afraid of causing bad influence to Hai Pingting, so he waited until the sun moved his seat, and finally did not He turned around and left with his own servant, leaving behind a piece of quiet covered bridge and flowing water and the breeze flying catkins flying all over the sky, taking away the beautiful memories that belonged to the two of them alone.
