Ouyang Nuan laughed courteously:
"he..he..he.."
“Grandmother, if you wish…. why dont we take a look? I think there’s no harm in checking it……is there?
“Nuan-er, aye! Such an understanding granddaughter! Maybe…… this time, it makes your grandmother anxiously awaiting to go over to Jue-er"s courtyard.”
“But………!”
"At the moment, Jue-er is still in the lecture hall. Precisely, not in his courtyard, it would be better for you to come tomorrow and visit your grandmother together with Jue-er. Wouldn"t that not be a problem”? Madam Lin hurriedly explained.
Ouyang Nuan, “Mother……. meimei personally gifted a good tea.
I hope that we"ll enjoy this tea as a refreshment. Naturally, it needs a good environment and mood, just like the scene painted by Master Ding, the “Yuchuan Tea Painting”. A courtyard surrounded with green-jointed stem bamboo plants, a tea room, inside holding a good old table with an exquisite tea set above, a pot boiler for tea. Aye.. admiring the bright scenery from that painting and tea room filled with tea fragrance."
Suddenly, Ouyang Nuan shut her eyes, thinking peacefully, and then uttered, her eyes with an expression of interest and charm: "Ah! As for views in our household ,only younger brother"s courtyard is similar to that bright scenery in the painting. If grandmother is willing to change places…wouldn"t it be wonderful?"
Madam Lin turned towards Ouyang Ke, employing a meaning glance. Although, Ouyang Ke was unaware of her mother"s reasons for her persistent persuasion in visiting Ouyang Jue"s courtyard. Luckily, she simply understood what her mother meant.
But before she could utter any words, Laotaitai Li said out loud, “I don"t usually have the leisure to walk and visit that courtyard. Well……. since I am in a good condition.. Let"s go and see those bamboo plants! Tie Shu Bamboo likes warm and moist climate. It is not resistant to cold, without a doubt, during winter season, it will absolutely not blossom. I cannot tell, eventually, we can only hope for a miracle to happen, which is a good sign." Laotaitai Li sighed, with earnest and deep thoughts..
Laotaitai Li"s idea had been set, while Madam Lin’s face was wearing an ugly expression.
Jue’er, your older sister needs to take advantage of this matter in order to clean up the inside of your courtyard. Ouyang Nuan pondered with a smile as she and w.a.n.g-mama stepped forward, but was blocked by Lin Shi’s arm.
Mother….youre not to tag along?Ouyang Nuan asked at her
In the meantime, Laotaitai Li along with the guest. Hence Zhang mama went to Pine Bamboo Courtyard in advance to make the maidservants have proper preparations for Laotaitai Li’s visit.
Just a few steps away from the door, she saw only a servant girl holding a broom sweeping. The servant girl stared at her, as if she was unfamiliar with Zhang mama, promptly raised her neck looking proud and haughty, coldly snort: Humph!"
This courtyard has no manners! did they not have rules?
"Esteemed Mother has arrived!Esteemed Mother has arrived!" She announced a cry.
That yatou dropped the broom and bowed down.Zhang-mama was always around with Laotaitai Li and no one dared to give her no face, so she suddenly changed her expression.
Taking a few steps inside the courtyard, she saw a good-looking girl leaning against a pillar. Gently reciting a poem, a servant also stood beside her, energetically saying: “Sister Yin"s poem is really good! Indeed, it really captures the desire I have to take my heart towards the moon."
Zhang-mama frowned again and rebuked:
"No good in doing household work but have the free time to recite a poem!"
The yatou"s complexion turned deathly pale and stood unsteadily. The manservant beside, as soon as he saw Zhang-mama, suddenly looked awfully gloomy but gave a hollow laugh,
"He..he..he…"
And walked towards Zhang mama:
"Young master, today, is attending at the lecture hall, and is currently not present in the courtyard. What reasons did mama ……….."
"Esteemed Mother has moved towards here. I would like to inform you manservant to take care of these things! If it turns out that there is a slip in something…Be careful of your mischievous behavior!"Zhang mama reported in a disdainful tone
Just so happened that earlier, Young Master Jue had gone out from the courtyard with Qing Feng. He was suprised for a moment, but turned around at once to go prepare.
This manservant had always been spa.r.s.e, and even the servant girl pouring tea, did not know where she went.This time, when he heard that Esteemed Mother had come personally.. suddenly panicked!!!!! (⊙ o ⊙) …
