Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Statues

I moved to Jingyuan the next day. When Li Qing heard the news that I was going to move there, his eyes narrowed with a smile. He must think that the relationship between Junhuangyue and I has developed by leaps and bounds. But in a certain respect, the relationship between Junhuangyue and I has indeed improved. Only after I moved here did I realize that Jingyuan is really big. There are a total of four courtyards in the garden, which are evenly distributed in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and Junhuangyue’s study and bedroom are in the east and north courtyards respectively. I went in and looked at it.And the "Congshuang Building" where I live now is on the south side, facing Junhuangyue's bedroom on the north side, and it is indeed far away from me as he said.The remaining courtyard on the west is the kitchen, the flower hall for eating, the side hall for receiving guests, and the place where servants live.

Jingyuan is much quieter than my Lanxiangyuan. When I walk in the garden on weekdays, I can’t see the shadow of servants at all. But with the experience of the previous two times, I know that there must be hidden in some corners that I can’t see. Many people, and those people all possess legendary martial arts. I'm not interested in exploring those mysterious shadows. In addition to eating and sleeping, I usually sew and sew with Laixi in the house. Tian Habitat will open soon, so I have to do as much as possible. Samples come out. And Jun Huangyue and I get along quite happily. During the few days I lived here, he would accompany me to eat in the flower hall every noon and night, and he would also talk and chat with me during the dinner. He is knowledgeable and has a wide range of hobbies. He seems to know everything and is a good person to chat with.

One day, I suddenly remembered that I had to find a model to display the samples I made. It is not good to use real people, only human models.In Lanchao, the only kind of model I needed was carved from trees. Thinking of Junhuangyue's wooden house, I think he should be able to easily do what I want. So I excitedly ran to the study to look for him. I didn't know what he was doing in the study all day long. The servants at the door of the study kept me out. After he came out, I described my thoughts to him. He was quiet for a few seconds after hearing this, and I secretly laughed in my heart. He might have been frightened by what I said.

"Okay, I will order one of the best sculptors to carve it for you as soon as possible. However, what you appreciate is really different from ordinary people, just like your paintings, which are also so different." He murmured said. I giggled, he actually thought that I asked him to sculpt a naked life-scale female model for his own appreciation, but I can’t explain too much, let him think so, maybe he thinks I have a mental problem Well, the more I thought about it, the more amusing it became, and I couldn't help but giggled. "My words are funny?" He bent down (forbidden) to look at my eyes, and his black eyes were shining brightly.

I was taken aback by the suddenly enlarged mask in front of me, and quickly stepped back a few steps before saying, "A little bit." "Then I hope you can smile so happily after seeing that statue." A very playful smile flashed in his eyes, he licked the corners of his mouth at me, then turned and walked back to the study. Ten days later, when he personally delivered a statue covered with silk to the Congshuanglou, I finally understood why he laughed so strangely. When the silk cloth was uncovered, a statue exactly like Zhou Yunxin appeared in front of my eyes, except that the statue had no arms.It can be seen that the craftsman of the sculptor is very good. He carved Zhou Yunxin's appearance lifelike, and the body proportions are just right. The surface of the wood is polished very brightly, which makes the body curve of the statue protruding forward and backward look very smooth. Naturally, it feels almost like a real person.

I was so shocked by the vivid statue in front of me that I couldn't speak for a moment, it was so carved!Suddenly, a consciousness rushed into my mind, I stared at Junhuangyue and said: "This, is it you who carved it?" His eyes flickered and changed, and I clearly saw surprise and annoyance in them. He might just want to make me unable to laugh after seeing the statue, but he ignored an important detail. Imagine a person who has never seen me How could the famous sculptor sculpt Zhou Yunxin so vividly? But I didn't laugh as he wished, he actually grasped Zhou Yunxin's curves so accurately, thinking that he must have touched the face, chest, waist, buttocks and thighs on the statue countless times when he was sculpting. , My face became slightly hot, those movements can be regarded as he ate my tofu in disguise.

"No matter who carved it, are you satisfied?" He stubbornly refused to admit it. Alright, dare to act but dare not to act, let's see how I deal with you, I thought to myself. "Satisfied, very satisfied. It seems that the sculptor has a rich imagination. He actually sculpted me like this. Look at this chest and this buttocks. They are so protruding and curved. If I didn't know you This quiet garden is heavily guarded, and I will definitely think that the master sculptor watched me take a bath." I deliberately raised my voice to make a coquettish voice, and while talking, I circled the statue, and my ten fingers touched the body of the statue as if enjoying it.

Unexpectedly, his eyes did not show the shyness I expected, but turned into a dark and incomprehensible depth. My face was a little embarrassing, and it seemed that my attempt to persuade him was unsuccessful. I withdrew my hand, ready to take the silk cloth to cover the statue again, but when I passed by him, he grabbed my arm, and then with a little force, I was brought into his arms, with a touch of warmth Heat just stuck to my lips without warning. I looked at the eyes that were close at hand in surprise, and suddenly found that his eyelashes were thick and long, and water seemed to be dripping from his deep and deep eyes.

His lips just stuck to mine, without any further movement, my mind was a little confused, I thought that after talking with him in the pavilion last time, we would never have this kind of intimacy. "You're right. The sculptor did spy on you taking a bath, but... it was all in a dream." He whispered softly against my lips, his whispering voice was hoarse and low, with a trace of inexplicable depression, his strong arms wrapped around my back, firmly encircling my body. I was warmed up by his unusually intimate posture and extremely ambiguous words, and the soles of my feet began to feel weak unconsciously.

Just when our body temperature was getting higher and higher... "Ah!" There was an exclamation in my ear. Junhuang let go of me more quickly, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes. The warmth on the lips quickly dissipated as he left... "I'll have dinner with you tonight." He whispered a word in my ear, then turned and left. I sat in the room, staring blankly at the statue. I couldn't get rid of the lovely scene just now, and Junhuang Yue's gentle aura still seemed to linger in my heart. "Sister, I, I didn't mean it just now, but just when I came in from the outside, I saw you... I was so surprised, I couldn't hold it back for a while..." Laixi explained intermittently, his face full of embarrassment.

I braced myself and smiled at her, saying, "It's okay." I didn't go to the flower hall for dinner that night. What happened in the afternoon made me not know what expression to face him for a while. And he didn't send anyone to call me. From then until I moved back to Lanxiangyuan, I never saw Junhuangyue again. Every time I went to the flower hall to eat, I didn’t see him. It seems that he avoided me on purpose. I am also happy about this situation Comfortable, it doesn't matter if we don't meet each other, so I don't have to speculate on his indifferent mentality. I lived in Jingyuan for more than 20 days, and when I moved back to Lanxiangyuan, it was the hottest dog days in summer. Fortunately, the front of the yard was open, and Li Qing even transplanted dozens of tall green trees with great powers. In the yard, with the wind blowing, shaded by trees, and a large pool ten meters long and five meters wide, I can spend this summer happily, but it’s just hard work for those dozen or so people who change the water every day. Famous maid. One day, Xiang Yanqi came to me and was amazed when he saw the huge pool. He repeatedly praised me for being creative and thinking of such a luxurious way to escape the summer heat. I smiled and didn't say much, just asked him how those plans were going. He said happily to me: "Xiangjia Tea House has made the first summer tea this year according to the method you said, and the brewed loose tea is better than the previous cake tea in terms of color, fragrance and shape." Several times. My grandfather and I decided to hold a tea tasting party in Wangyue Tower in the afternoon of three days later. Today I am here to send you invitations. We are also planning to announce the establishment of the foundation at the tea tasting party, but because we have not yet invited To the two big celebrities who wrote the inscription and unveiled the foundation, so the establishment ceremony will not be held for the time being.” He took the tea I poured for him, took a sip and continued: "Also, the Heaven and Habitat has been completely modified according to your requirements, just waiting for you to draw on those white silks, and you can also paint at any time." Move in those things you want to sell." I nodded and said: "Thank you for your hard work, cousin, I will find time to fill up those paintings in the next few days. Who are the two famous people you mentioned that have not yet been invited?" Xiang Yanqi's face immediately showed helplessness: "It's hard to invite these two people, one is the great talent Yu Wujian, no one in the capital knows his name, not to mention he is famous for being kind and generous, please invite him It is most appropriate to write an inscription, but he rejected all the invitations I sent to his mansion before, and I didn't even meet him." "Who is that other person?" I am very curious about the person who can be as famous as Yu Wujian. Xiang Yanqi said with some fascination on his face: "This person rarely lives in the capital, and he just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, but his background and reputation are even greater than Yu Wujian! He is the wife and brother of Prince Ding'an, Ye Tan, the youngest general in the history of the Lan Dynasty, was only fourteen years old when Prince Ding'an took over General Sun's position as the Grand Marshal of the World. Ye Tan was only fourteen years old. During the years, he made countless achievements, and climbed up to the position of general step by step. When he was 22 years old, Prince Ding'an gave him the power to lead the 200,000 troops in northern Xinjiang, and he returned to Beijing to take the post of Taiwei. During the past seven years, he has guarded the northern border tightly, and the Mongols in the north will never have the opportunity to harass the border of the Lan Dynasty." There are Mongolians in this time and space. I don’t know if they are related to the Mongolians in Chinese history that I know?I thought to myself. How can I say that this foundation also has my share of hard work in it, not to mention that I am still half the boss behind it, so I decided to help myself. I said to Xiang Yanqi: "I'll write a letter for you in a while, and you can pass it to Yufu for a try. If it still doesn't work, I'll find another way. I can't help that Ye Tan." In fact, I was not sure that Yuwu would not accept my invitation, so I had no choice but to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor. "By the way, your sister-in-law has been clamoring to see you recently. Let's see when you have time to come to Xiang's mansion, and you are still Miss Sun of the Xiang family, so you can be regarded as returning to your natal family when you come to Xiang's mansion." I thought about it, and it was time to meet the cousin who had never met. From Xiang Yanqi's discussions with her several times, it was not difficult to see that she was a quick-tempered person, but she didn't know whether it was suitable for business. "Okay then, I'll go back to my mother's house tomorrow morning." I smiled. After hearing this, he said happily: "Then you should come earlier." I smiled and nodded, and took a pen and paper to write a greeting post to Yu Wujian. When I signed it, I almost wrote it as Qin Lan. It seems that I am still not used to Zhou Yunxin's identity. Xiang Yanqi left satisfied with the post I wrote. I found Li Qing and asked him to help me choose some gifts for Xiang's family from the treasury of the palace. Tomorrow is my first visit to Xiang's family, so there is no shortage of courtesy.
