Seeing that the girl didn't speak and just walked forward slowly, Qingwen didn't say much. The girl didn't ask about such things, so it was inconvenient for her to say more.
It's November, and the climate in the North is already very cold. Even though the sky is blue and the sun is bright, my breath turns to frost, and my hands and feet feel stiff even if I don't move them for a moment.
Shen Yixiu didn't like being supported, so Qingwen followed her. The two of them walked forward slowly, with the two servants following from a distance.
After entering the Dalong Shanhuguo Temple, Qingwen's eyes began to search for the target. Zijuan must have accompanied Miss Lin there. The better it was in this temple, but she didn't say where it was specifically, but no. It's most likely a place with a lot of people, so it can only be over the vineyard.
Walking along the wide stone road, Qingwen carefully wrapped the heater in cotton cloth and handed it to Shen Yixiu: "Girl, it's freezing here, so let's warm your hands."
Shen Yixiu also felt that it was a bit cold to walk outside at this time, but it was okay. There were not many people in the temple. They were all believers who were lighting incense and praying in various halls. There was no one in the bustling vineyard at this time. .
"Over there!" Qingwen saw and immediately saw the master and servant standing at the intersection of the vineyard over there. There were also two servants standing in the distance, just like here.
"Oh?" Shen Yixiu perked up and immediately put on his best performance. He straightened his body slightly and looked over.
The other side obviously saw this side, paused slightly, and then walked over slowly.
From the moment they met, both parties' eyes were locked on each other and they began to observe and size up each other.
The woman in front of her with a gentle and elegant smile matched Daiyu's impression of Shen Yixiu, because Zijuan had mentioned the appearance of Shen Yixiu introduced by Qingwen. She was gentle but not weak, and was somewhat similar to Miss Bao. , but there is a difference, that is, Miss Shen seems to be more outgoing.
A long lilac silk dress with white flowers touches the floor, and is covered with a black black fox fur cloak. The curtain is lifted to cover the face, revealing a face that is filled with a friendly and elegant atmosphere. It has an oval face and a fair face. A bit rosy, elegant and refined, with a bit more inquiring curiosity and friendliness in her eyes.
At first glance, it seems to be just ordinary beauty, but if you look carefully, you will find that there is always a faint calmness and tranquility lingering in the other person's eyebrows, which makes people feel very comfortable.
This made Daiyu's heart seem to calm down a lot.
Shen Yixiu was also looking at Lin Daiyu.
From Qingwen's mouth, she also learned about this girl who was five years younger than herself. The fourteen-year-old girl lost her mother when she was young, and then suffered the misfortunes of living away from home and losing her father repeatedly, and her body seemed to be in decline. not too good.
Such a girl could eventually become the third wife of the Feng family. Considering the situation of the Feng family, without Feng Ziying's influence, Shen Yixiu believed that it would be impossible for Lin Daiyu to marry into the Feng family.
Maybe Shen Yixiu was so valued and supported by his husband, even though Shen Yixiu prided himself on being generous, he still felt a little sour in his heart.
Now that he saw this woman, Shen Yixiu felt that there might be some reasons why his husband was so dear to her.
The seemingly delicate eyebrows are like beautiful flowers, the eyes are like paint, and the lips are like red vermilion. The slightly straight bridge of the nose and the rhombus-shaped lip corners indicate that this girl may have a stubborn temperament that is completely different from her weaker appearance. A snow-white fox fur cloak was draped on her slim shoulders, and a long red silk cotton skirt with a white background was draped under a red cotton quilt. A scarlet firefox scarf was wrapped around her neck, which made her look naturally charming. The jade dimples that are suitable for both anger and joy are dazzling.
Seeing Shen Yixiu coming to greet her, Daiyu also took two steps quickly and said in a sweet voice: "My younger sister Daiyu has met the elder sister of the Shen family."
It has a bit of Wu Nong's soft language, but it is not quite the same. Several years of living in the North have made Daiyu's accent more like the North Mandarin accent, but it is precisely this kind of mixed with the Gusu Wu accent. Shen Yixiu's accent made Shen Yixiu fall in love with this girl almost immediately. The good impression brought by this local accent is almost inextricable, especially for a girl of the same age.
Shen Yixiu has followed his father in the capital for many years, but he does not have many close friends in the capital.
This is because women in the north are relatively conservative and mostly draw boundaries based on the place of origin of their fathers and brothers. However, the daughters of Shilin officials who also belong to the south of the Yangtze River are mostly conservative and don't like to make friends. Many of them start early at the age of thirteen or fourteen. They got engaged and got married when they were fifteen or sixteen.
There are very few nineteen-year-old unmarried women like Shen Yixiu, and those who are married are busy serving their husbands, or else they are having children.
So for all these years, Shen Yixiu could only live alone at home, and even missed everything he had in his hometown when he was a child.
Lin Daiyu's words with a local accent immediately made Shen Yixiu's impression of Daiyu much better.
"Sister, you are so polite. My heart softened when I heard my sister's voice. It has been a long time since I heard our Gusu accent. Today, I feel more cordial when I hear it."
Shen Yixiu's words were also mixed with the sound of Gusu Wu. Daiyu also heard them warmly, and Shen Yixiu's close gesture also made her relax a lot.
Zijuan and Qingwen, who were standing on both sides, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the two girls smiling like flowers together and talking and joking cordially.
Although the two of them will be their own masters in the future, no one wants to become tense or cold because of this. After all, there is only one master, and only maids like them can understand the difficulties involved.
"The younger sister's voice sounds normal to her elder sister. Well, the younger sister has left her hometown since she was a child. If not for the fact that the wet nurse in the family is also from Wu, she has always taken her with her, so she can still retain the aftertaste after leaving her hometown. Later, she came to the capital. It’s even rarer to smell it.”
Daiyu smiled faintly. Seeing that Shen Yixiu was slightly taller than herself, she wanted to hold her arm, but she couldn't hold her face. On the contrary, Shen Yixiu was close to her heart and simply held Daiyu's hand. This also made her Daiyu's face heated up, she was so funny for her little family, so she simply held onto Shen Yixiu's arm.
With such a look of deep sisterly love, if Feng Ziying were here, her eyes would bulge out, but she could also breathe a sigh of relief.
"I haven't been to the Dahuguo Temple for a long time, but now that I'm here, I remember a lot. Ziying and I first met in this Dahuguo Temple, and I also knew that my sister was also in the temple that day. It's just that The passport arrived at that time." Shen Yixiu glanced at Daiyu beside him and said with a smile: "Sister, did you say this is our fate?"
Daiyu was slightly surprised, but she didn't know about it, and Brother Feng didn't mention it either. This made her heart sink, but then she smiled again: "Ah, little sister doesn't know, I don't know when?"
"It should have been four years ago." Shen Yixiu showed a reminiscing look, his eyes a little more nostalgic, "It was clear after the snow, Ziying and a few classmates from my brother's academy were debating in this vineyard. I I happened to meet Ziying on the road with my father and my younger brother, and that was the first time I met Ziying. We were really destined..."
Daiyu's heart moved slightly, pretending to be careless, and said in a sweet voice: "Oh, when my sister said that, my little sister recalled that it was Brother Feng who asked me to go to the Dahuguo Temple to pray for blessings and incense together. It was also a blessing for me and Brother Feng escaped safely in Linqing and fulfilled his wish..."
Shen Yixiu was secretly amused. This girl is really sensitive. No wonder Qingwen said that this girl is thoughtful. Well, the implicit meaning is that if you are stingy, you will be punished, right?
Just saying that he was destined to Feng Lang immediately attracted a counterattack from the other party, which was a bit interesting.
"Oh, Ziying also told her sister that she and she met by chance in Linqing. Well, it was really dangerous. Fortunately, he was able to escape successfully. I once advised him that a gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall. Such violence It's best not to do anything about Hu Fenghe." Shen Yixiu didn't care about this.
At this time, it would be out of character to argue with this little girl over this, and it won't change anything. Just as the other party should understand that no matter what she does, she can't change the relationship between herself and Feng Lang.
Daiyu was a little unhappy in her heart, "It's right for my sister to persuade Brother Feng not to take risks. After all, Brother Feng's identity is different now, and there will be a whole family worried about him in the future. But in Linqing, Brother Feng is brave." There was a plan, and it was not the violent tiger Feng He. If not, how could the imperial court quell the civil uprising so easily, and even attach special importance to Brother Feng? My sister may not know it yet, so how could the imperial court put down the civil uprising in Linqing? My father was the same year as my sister’s father, and it was because of this that he admired Brother Feng so much that he recommended Brother Feng to study at Qingtan Academy..."
Daiyu said in her heart, if Brother Feng hadn't been both wise and brave during the Linqing Civil War, how could the Hulun Marquis's conferment be granted again? If it weren't for the Hulun Marquis, how would he be able to have a long house and a family, let alone a family? I'm in love with your marriage.
Shen Yixiu pretended not to hear the underlying meaning in Daiyu's words, and asked curiously: "I really didn't know there was such a complicated and tortuous story in it. Sister, would you like to tell it to me? Can Ziying learn from it?" I never said anything about the civil uprising..."
Seeing Shen Yixiu's curious and calm face, Daiyu seemed to feel that she was a bit petty again. Why was she so fond of making random assumptions? Perhaps this sister of the Shen family did not mean what she imagined.
Feeling a little guilty in her heart, and seeing that Shen Yixiu was so interested, Daiyu took the rare opportunity to recount the events of that day, inevitably adding some exaggerations and her own fictitious storylines. Repair with relish.
During this period, Shen Yixiu would also ask one or two questions from time to time, and would even scratch Daiyu's proudest or most thrilling place, so that Daiyu couldn't help but introduce and explain in a more show-off manner until he finished speaking. , Daiyu just realized why she said so much without knowing it today?
