Chapter 160： Vision (two more)

Chapter 160 Vision (two more)

"Whoosh—"

The wind and snow outside was even bigger, the wind was blowing, the snow was vast, and the snowflakes were falling all over the sky. It was as dense as a thick fog.

The sky also darkened, and it seemed that night had come early.

Mrs. Gu Tai fell ill again.

Gu Yanfei didn't know how ill she was, anyway, several doctors came, and even the matter of entering the palace for greetings on the first day of the new year was on leave.

Because Mrs. Gu Tai was seriously ill, this year in Hou’s residence was a bit deserted. There were no fireworks, no laughter, and no festive celebrations.

Gu Yuan was going to be an official, and he has been in the palace since New Year's Eve, and he was nowhere to be seen for several days.

As a result, Gu Yanfei nestled in Yuheng Garden leisurely every day to hide.

Until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Wei Jiaoniang suddenly visited.

Her arrival brought a vibrant energy to this quiet yard.

"Yan Fei, I brought you Jin Shi Kee's jujube paste shortcake. It's just out of the oven, and it's still hot!"

Wei Jiao Niang didn't arrive, she smiled first, and she was always full of energy.

She motioned the maid to bring the box of jujube pastry, and she didn't sit down in a hurry, looking at the surrounding furnishings with great interest.

This small study is not too big. There is a row of Duobao Pavilions and bookshelves on the west wall. The high bookshelves almost extend to the roof, and all kinds of books on it are full.

To the north is a six-fan carved rosewood and porcelain panel screen. Behind the screen is a beautiful couch and a rattan cat nest. There are also a bow and a sword hanging on the wall.

To the east are two bright windows, next to the windows are huge book desks, chessboards and a few armchairs. In addition to the four treasures of the study, on the desk is a large blue-and-white porcelain tank the size of a washbasin, where three or four goldfish are raised, and a few wisps of water plants are placed on the desk. And five or six pebbles adorn it.

Wei Jiao Niang chose an armchair by the fish tank and sat down. The few red and white goldfish in the fish tank immediately swam towards her with their tails swaying, creating layers of water waves.

"Yan Fei, you are so nice here!" Wei Jiao Niang said with a smile.

Obviously, the layout of this small study is completely different from that of ordinary ladies. There are no qin, zither, pipa, no incense, bead curtains, coral and jade bonsai, and no statue of Guanyin or Sanqing. Books, paperweights, etc. are placed casually, and it can be seen that the owner is informal and makes people feel very comfortable.

Juan Bi opened the box of dim sum that Wei Jiao Niang had just sent, repackaged it, and presented it. At the same time, Gu Yanfei took out a box of fish food from the drawer of the bookcase.

Wei Jiao Niang touched the fish food from the box and fed the fish with great interest, and the fish swarmed after the fish food.

Wei Jiao Niang was overjoyed, and laughed happily: "Yan Fei, your fish are really insightful, they all like me, unlike my fish, dogs, etc., they just see me. run!"

"That's it!" Gu Yanfei responded boldly, and the two smiled at each other.

The girl's silver bell-like laughter echoed in the room.

Chuan Bi on the side naturally also heard this conversation, and the corners of his eyes twitched.

Kuanbi knows best, Qingguang likes to drink "fish soup" and always comes to the fish tank to drink water. It doesn't eat live fish, but goldfish are afraid of it, so they like to hide in the direction of people.

Rather than liking people, goldfish hate cats.

Wei Jiao Niang couldn't sit still. After feeding the fish for a while, she ran to the bookshelf to see what books Gu Yanfei had here.

Seeing this, she was stunned.

"Yan Fei, why do you have so many art of war books here? "Six Tao", "Taibai Yin Jing", "Tiger Seal Classic", "Warring States"..." Wei Jiao Niang read a series of military book titles, her eyes getting brighter.

That is, in their Duke Wei's mansion, there are not so many military books, and some of them have been lost.

"My eldest brother gave it." Gu Yanfei said with a smile.

When she just returned to the capital's Hou's Mansion, Gu Yuan could not wait to bring all the things he had there for her to use, and these books were one of them.

The books here are very miscellaneous, including military books, four books and five classics, arithmetic classics, horse classics, and books on astronomy and astrology, and so on.

Gu Yuan said that most of these books were left by his father.

Gu Yanfei also flipped through some books, in which he also saw the notes left by his father Gu Ce Xin. Some of the handwritings were frivolous, some were strong, some were calm and open... Obviously some years had passed.

In the last life, Gu Yuan wanted to give these books to her, but she didn't dare to accept them...

Gu Yanfei's thoughts accidentally returned to his previous life, until Wei Jiao Niang's pleasant voice woke her up: "Yan Fei, this...isn't it from your elder brother?"

Wei Jiaoniang held a playbook with the words "Ten Mile Pavilion" written on it and shook it gently.

Indeed. Gu Yanfei nodded honestly.

This "Ten Mile Pavilion" is still one day after she told her elder brother that she went to Tianyin Pavilion to listen to the play, and the next day her elder brother specially bought several playbooks for her.

"Your eldest brother is quite discerning, this "Ten Mile Pavilion" is very popular." Wei Jiao Niang said with glistening eyes, "Tianyin Pavilion's new rehearsal has been full recently."

"Yan Fei, let's go to the play, I haven't watched the play for a long time."

Wei Jiao Niang's eyes became brighter the more she talked.

Her character said that wind is rain, she got up before her **** was hot, and pulled Gu Yanfei out of the house in a hurry.

Because of the cold weather, the two went out in Wei Jiaoniang's carriage.

Along the way, there was laughter in the carriage:

"Yan Fei, two days ago, a new Jiangnan dim sum shop opened opposite Tianyin Pavilion. We'll go buy some later and eat while watching a play."

"After watching the play, let's go to the next street to watch the juggling show. That juggling team is only available every New Year. After the Lantern Festival, they will leave, and the next time will be the next year!"

"By the way, Tianle Restaurant has released new wine and new dishes. Let's go there for lunch."

“…”

Wei Jiao Niang has a lively personality and keeps talking in a lively manner, talking about basic clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and even telling Gu Yanfei where the best weapons and horse shops are.

While talking and laughing, the carriage arrived at Tianyin Pavilion located in the south of the city.

"Miss Weijiu, you haven't been here for a long time." The second of Tianyin Pavilion warmly greeted her, "The private room in your mansion has been reserved."

Duke Wei likes to watch plays, so he simply reserved a box in Tianyin Pavilion.

"It's better to catch up early than to catch up. After half a cup of tea, the show will start." Xiao Er smiled and stretched out his hand to plead.

"Hurry up! It's about to start." Wei Jiaoniang took Gu Yanfei's hand and walked happily towards the second floor's private seat.

They ordered a table of tea and snacks, and then ordered the maid to go to the dim sum shop opposite to buy a few boxes of dim sum, and set the table full.

Gu Yanfei picked up the teapot next to her and poured tea for Wei Jiaoniang. The tea was only half filled, and there was a high-pitched and excited noise from downstairs.

The last time Gu Yanfei heard such a lively voice here was because of a certain "flower actress". For a moment, she thought it was Xia Houqing coming, and glanced at the stage.

The high stage was empty, empty, the curtain lowered, and the play had not yet begun.

In the lobby on the first floor, the tea guests and the audience gathered together in twos and threes to discuss something excitedly.

A lot of people gathered outside Tianyin Pavilion, and they were talking, shouting, and dancing.

Wei Jiaoniang always liked to be lively, so she instructed her maid: "Magpie, go and see what's going on?"

Magpie went downstairs.

Juan Bi was also very curious, glanced at Gu Yanfei's face, and followed happily.

After a while, the two maids ran back out of breath, their eyes glowing and their spirits glowing.

"Girl, there is a vision in the sky!" Magpie said excitedly to Wei Jiaoniang, "a few guests just came to the first floor, saying that they saw a vision in the sky just now, and then there were many people on the street who said they saw it all. ."

"Now people downstairs and people outside are talking about this!"

A vision in the sky? Wei Jiaoniang blinked, and subconsciously looked at the window on the other side of the seat, looking out at the blue sky, which was cloudless and calm.

Magpie took a deep breath, and Juan Bi next to him immediately said, "It's a real dragon that appeared in the sky above Kang Wangfu, it's a real dragon!"

Like the others below, she gestured with her hands and feet, trying to express the size of the dragon.

Real dragon? Gu Yanfei took a sip of the scented tea, and turned the teacup around in her hands at will. The chrysanthemums floating in the tea also fluttered, making her eyes sparkle.

Oh, this little world has so little spiritual energy, so the dragons won't come!

"Meow!" A cat meow seemed to be heard outside the window, seemingly responding to Gu Yanfei's thoughts.

Gu Yanfei turned her head to look out the window, but there was nothing outside the window, as if the cat meow just now was just her hallucination.

Wei Jiao Niang was excited to hear this, her little face was flushed, like she was dyed with rouge, and she asked curiously, "When did it happen? Is the dragon still there?"

Her look of interest seemed to want to go to Kang Wang Mansion to watch the fun.

Magpie Yuemo also saw the thoughts of his own girl, so he answered the key point first: "The real dragon has left."

Wei Jiaoniang sat back a little disappointed when she heard the words, and continued to eat her snacks and dried fruits, one bite at a time, and then a handful of creamy pine nuts.

She gestured to the magpie with her eyes to continue speaking.

Magpie and Juanbi, you and I, vividly recount what they just inquired about:

"Just now, before half a cup of tea at most, it appeared directly above Kang Wangfu, and everyone in the whole street saw it."

"Suddenly the whole street was shrouded in dark clouds, while the sun was still shining brightly in other places, and then thunder rang three times in a row, a real dragon appeared between the dark clouds, the dragon's roar resounded through the sky, and the real dragon faced Kang Wangfu for three consecutive times. Nod, as if kowtow."
