Chapter 3 (1/2)
♥ h.e.l.lo Everyone! Nice to meet you all, I’m shouahang58! I decided to give it a try to translate this novel, Happy Days Tied With a Knot. Please know that I can’t read in Chinese so I’ve been using google translation and other resources to help me. Anyways I don’t have much to say, so lets start reading! ♥
“Where did you go to last night?” Earlier in the morning, Pei Che teasingly ask Xuan Yuan Yi as he lean back at the window grazing at the pine trees.
“To relieve a burden!”
T/N: I think he means ”to [email protected]/* */” or to ”admire a beauty” but I'll just leave it as it is here.
Choking on tea, Pei Che almost choked. “To relieve a burden? So you can also do this type of refined and elegant att.i.tude of mind!” Putting down the cup, Pei Che's pair of mischievous eyes stared at Xuan Yuan Yi, wanting to see if his face expression change. Unfortunately, Xuan Yuan Yi's cool face showed no expression.
“Xuan big brother good morning, Pei big brother good morning.” Murong Xing Han said while walking toward them, staring at the two big men with his big eyes.
“Early ah! You are holding a pot of beautiful orchids early in the morning to do what?” Pei Che looked back, seeing Murong Xing Han in a purple s.h.i.+rt, holding the orchids standing at the door.
“Very good, I planted this orchid.” Murong Xing Han proudly said as he put the freshly bloom orchids on the table.
“You’re still in the progress to grow flower ah, en, it has bloom very good.” Pei Che saw Murong Xing Han is proud of himself, also follow him to speak casually. Although the young boy was aging, he was still a child after all.
“Sister said that we, the Murong house, is the largest business of grain, oil, tea and silk. I can't duplicate myself into four therefore I can't be at four places the same time. Regardless of that, she let me learn how to raise some flowers also let me try to fire pots and smelt metal temperament. Sister also promised me, If this time I can grow out the orchids, she'll send me a horse, and allow Feng master to teach me how to ride a horse! ” Murong Xing Han finished, holding orchids ready to go out. “I intend to go to my sister, and took the opportunity to see if you woke up yet. Now just came, you are already up, today I will take you to see Ziyun mountain.
“That's good, anyway, we have nothing to do so we'll go with you, and thank Miss Murong for last night’s hospitality.” Pei Che Lang said and went out along with Murong Xing Han together. Xuan Yuan Yi thoughtfully, and finally follow the two behind, coming out of listening to the Feng pavilion.
Soon, the three came to a bamboo door, the door was half open, vaguely they can see inside the door there is a green bamboo. The plaque on the lintel is written with two words of the lacquered gra.s.s – the garden, which is different from the vigorous font on the boulder.
T/N: I have no idea what the last sentence was trying to say, so I just left it as what it was on google translation. If you guys can read this ( 門楣上的匾額用青漆狂草寫著兩個字——隨園，不同于听風軒那塊巨石上的蒼勁字體，這隨園兩字透露的只是隨性和飄逸 ) Please tell me what it's saying.
“Didn't you live in Feng Xi Courtyard?” After last night, he found that she did not seem so bad.
“My sister continuously come here in the mornings, since three years ago, my sister made changes to the courtyard. She also changed the name of Feng Xi courtyard to Xue Ge pavilion, specifically used to visit the female daughter living here.” Said Murong Xing Han opened the door. Greeting the eyes of Pei Che Lang and Xuan Yuan Yi was a bright scenery. It is only a small part of the bamboo that is glimpse at the door. Looking around, there is endless of the green bamboo, layers upon layers, exposing people to a sea of bamboo.The bamboo is surrounded by a small clear lake, in the center of the lake is a three-story bamboo house, because of the flying white bead curtain was blocking their line of sight, they can not see the small building furnishture.
Is it three years ago? The timing has much coincidence, that she fell into the water, in the end what happened? The current Murong Shu Qing is like a mystery, people are eager to open, but also afraid it is too much and missed what.
With the Murong Xing Han, the two went through the bamboo bridge to the bamboo platform before the small platform. Lu Yi at the door, seeing them line up, come forward and bowed at them “Xing Han master, Xuan son, Pei son.”
“Lu Yi sister, is sister wake up yet?” Murong Xing Han holding orchids, asked.
Seeing Murong Xing Han's majestic look, Lu Yi chuckle, “From early in the morning, miss came and is now inside, you come with me.”
“Miss, Xing Han master and two sons came.” Lu Yi lightly lift the white veil, softly telling them to come inside.
“Come in.” A bright female voice came from the room.
In the room, the furnis.h.i.+ngs are not luxurious, around the door of the silk screen bamboo, is the round table, chairs and cases. If you have to say what was special about the place, it would be that the entire room was surrounded by bookshelf, and above the books were stacked on books. The whole study is full of books and the smell of ink. By the side of the table is a huge window, almost covering for the whole wall, looking beyond the window you could see the lake's panoramic view. Behind the table is a word written very scrawled, vaguely can make out the word ”follow”
T/N: Again, I don't understand the last sentence above. ( 案台後是一幅字，寫得非常潦草，隱約看出是個「隨」字 )
A few rays of light went through the white beads, into the bamboo house with a twilight aura. Murong Shu Qing today did not braid her hair, but casually tied her hair into a small bun using a green hairpin, appearing in a lazy style. She held Murong Xing Yue in her arms, who was holding a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, was feeding her while fixing the little girl's hair, with doting smile on her face. At the door, Xuan Yuan Yi seeing a warm beauty almost instantly froze there.
“Sister, you see, my plant of orchids blossom!” Murong Xing Han speaking broke the curse and Xuan Yuan Yi was recovered.
“Yes, this breed of plant is difficult to survive , you have spent a lot of learning. I will help you prepare for the horse colt. Tomorrow, you go to the pavilion and let him teach you.” Murong Shu Qing side fed Murong Xing Yue, while she said this to him.
“Great, thank you sister!” Finally he can learn to ride a horse, Murong Xing Han was excited.
“Has the two sirs had breakfast yet?” Watching the two handsome man standing at the door, Murong Shu Qing could not help but laugh, early in the morning she was really lively ah!
”Not yet, we see Xing Han walking over, so we took this opportunity to come with, these days we have been disturbing.” Pei Che greeted with a smile.
T/N: There is another sentence continuing from where Pei is smiling but i didn't add it cause I don't know what it was trying to say…. ( 眼楮卻不離暗潮洶涌的軒轅逸和慕容舒清二人 )
“Lu Yi, call the kitchen to prepare more breakfast to send over.”
The two handsome men's “burning” eye sight, aiming toward Murong Shu Qing was a little too much. One pair full of optimistic and mischievous, while the other pair full “affectionate” to the point it could burn a hole in her. Is she really that attractive? Her heart secretly complain. Moving her mouth to say some beautiful yet boring words, “The two sir are polite, and you rarely come to Huadu so we should be give good hospitality, it is not disturbing as we are not strangers.”
“In this case, then you do not need to call me sir just called me Pei big brother, or Pei Che Lang.” He is not this sort of person who is kind, being called sir all day was not awkward. But seeing Xuan Yuan Yi suddenly frown, he felt good sitting next to Murong Shu Qing, waiting for her to call his name.
Murong Shu Qing was still smiling, she did not notice the eyes of Pei and Xuan Yuan Yi's suddenly serious expression. But the ”big brother” she will absolutely not called. She should be about the same age as them, and the name “Pei Big Brother” gave her gooseb.u.mps. She can only reluctantly called the other name.
“Well, Pei Che Lang.”
“Then can I call you Qing Er?” Obviously someone does not know the meaning of 'enough was enough'.
Qing Er, when did the name start so popular? Not waiting for Murong Shu Qing to refuse, a cold male voice said: “You are not familiar with each other!”
Pei Che Lang raised his eyebrows, “What is 'not familiar' now? Besides, even more, I lived here for a time of one day. I, the elder call Miss Murong this is not too much ?!” For a long time he had not seen Xuan Yuan Yi change face expression, he would like to make persistent effort now.
