After speaking, the fourth master took the hoe in his hand and walked to the shade of the tree by the ridge.

Here, Su Peisheng has already prepared warm herbal tea and snacks.

A small piece of farmland in front of this field house is just a place for the fourth master's hobbies and relaxation, that is, no matter how diligent and thrifty he is, it is impossible to eat bran like a farmer, and even the farm tools he uses are carefully built by the Ministry of Industry.

A cup of warm herbal tea takes away the heat, and then eats two pieces of dim sum.

The fourth master comfortably leaned on the thick trunk of the tree next to him, looked at the three brothers who were still using snacks beside him, and looked at the farmland not far away that had not been tidied up, and ordered in a low voice: "Ama will go back to the front to discuss with the visiting courtiers in a while, and this place will be handed over to you to deal with." ”

As he spoke, his gaze wandered and fell on Honghui's body.

The fourth master looked at Honghui and continued: "Honghui, you are the boss, you have to take on your responsibilities as a brother, take care of your two younger brothers Hongyun and Hongyu, and lead them to deal with the remaining work in this field." ”

told Honghui to take care of his two younger brothers, and the fourth master did not forget to remind Hongyun and Hongyu.

He held Honghui's shoulder sitting on his left side with his left hand, put his right hand on Hongyun's shoulder, looked at Hongyu opposite, and explained softly: "Hongyun and Hongyu, you two must listen to Honghui's words, and don't play nonsense." ”

Regardless of their private relationship, the three brothers had a gentle smile on their faces at this time, and they replied in unison with their movements: "Ama rest assured, Honghui (Hongyun, Hongyu) will take care of (obey) the two younger brothers (arranged by the elder brother)." ”

The fourth master nodded with satisfaction, and said a few more gossips to the three brothers, and then patted the dirt and grass blades on his trouser leg and got up to leave.

In fact, he didn't have anything to be busy with, he just hoped to give the three boys some opportunities to be alone.

The fourth master believes that the fundamental reason for the weak love between his brothers in this generation is that he is competing for the throne of the supreme emperor in the world, and the second is also related to their few opportunities to get along.

He hoped that Honghui and his three brothers could take the opportunity to take care of the farmland and have more opportunities to get along.

It's a pity that the fourth master's idea is destined to fail.

Because not long after he left, Honghui looked around and made sure that there was no one staring around, so he decisively dropped his hoe, ran back to the shade of the tree in three steps, and shouted at Honghui and Hongyu who were confused in the farmland: "You guys are busy here, big brother Qinghui Pavilion still has something to do, so let's go first!"

With that, he left with brisk steps.

However, before he left, he did not forget to leave a little eunuch of the same size as him to complete the work in the farmland instead of himself, which was also a trick to prevent someone from finding out that he was not there when someone passed by, otherwise why would he specially let his own maternal clan, the Wulanala clan, select two or three little eunuchs with the same size and appearance as himself to serve in front of him.

Honghui left, Hongyun scratched his head, and also found an excuse to slip away.

Unlike Honghui's reluctance to get along with other brothers, Hongyun simply wants to be lazy.

Since he was a child, he was pampered and grew up in the palm of his hand like a jewel, and it was later that the fourth master found that his figure was getting more and more round, in order to prevent him from becoming a round ball with the same height and waist circumference, he specially arranged for the boxing and foot master to teach him boxing and foot kung fu, and personally set a menu for him that did not hurt his body and could effectively control his weight, but his lazy muscles and lazy bones were still developed early.

Hongyun said that he can insist on practicing boxing with his master every day, which is already his maximum amount of exercise.

Originally, Hongyun was pulled by the fourth master from the room with a pleasant temperature to take care of the farmland, and he was already reluctant in his heart, but his arms couldn't reach his thighs, he had no ability to resist, and he didn't dare to resist the fourth master's decision, so he had to follow the fourth master's arrangement to do farm work, but at this time, the fourth master left, and the eldest brother Honghui, who had always regarded himself very highly, also left, so why did he continue to sell coolies here......

So...... After he was sure that Honghui would not come back, he also left here in four directions.

But in the same way, before he left, he also arranged a little eunuch from a peasant family to do farm work here instead of himself, and did not want to put all the work on Hongyu to be responsible, because he thought that Hongyu would not stay here to make a fool, and arranged one or two little eunuchs to work here, that is, a casual order, if Hongyu made a mistake when he left, and did not finish the weeding work in this farmland, the last person to take the blame would probably be him, an unlucky bastard.

It's just that he didn't expect Hongyu to leave like his two brothers.

Hongyu looked at the back of Hongyun leaving, shook his head with a wry smile, and very simply rejected the proposal of the little eunuch who was waiting close to him to come forward to help, sighed, and continued to weed along the ditch.

And just when he bent down and lowered his head to sort out the weeds in the farmland, Honghui, who was the first to leave, met Xiao Liniang.

This chance encounter should be put in double quotation marks.

For Honghui, this was a chance encounter.

However, for Xiao Liniang, it was a good opportunity she had been waiting for.

As early as when Erfu happened to see her blowing near the water here in the cultivation and weaving Xuan, she noticed the movement of the Tianzifang, but unlike Erfu's worries, she never thought of setting her eyes on the fourth master, the male owner of the house, first, she was wandering in the pear orchard, and she had already heard of the fourth master's affection for the fourth master, and secondly, she also disliked the age of the fourth master, so the target she chose was Honghui, who had made several jokes a few years ago.

As the saying goes, a secret is not a secret if two people know it.

And Honghui in his thirteenth uncle's mansion to accept the matter of the dancing girl, the people who know, not only two, twenty people are there, although the fourth master and the thirteenth master have worked hard to suppress the palace maids and servants in the mansion, so as not to let this shameful gossip spread, but it is still inevitable to spread to the community, and also to the pear orchard line that is closer to the aristocratic circle.

Xiao Liniang, a beautiful cute girl with a good reputation in the industry, naturally knew the news.

She followed the troupe to the Old Summer Palace to perform, firstly, to get more rewards, and secondly, to find a better support for the second half of her life, and in addition to those Huang Zilongsun in the palace, the eldest brother of the prince's mansion is undoubtedly the best choice.

It's a pity that she hasn't had a chance to get close to the perfect person in her mind when she came to the Old Summer Palace for so many days.

Today, she suddenly received the news that she was going to perform in the Water Pavilion, and thought that she would have the opportunity to meet the gentlemen living in this garden, so she specially gave up the gorgeous costumes of the past and chose such a small jasper-like dress, hoping to get more attention with a different dress.

But when she found out that there was a concubine Fujin watching the play under the stage, she was already full of disappointment.

And when Erf saw her blowing near the water, it was not that she deliberately came to the stream to brush her sense of existence after receiving the news.

That's because she was really a little discouraged, and she didn't want to reveal it in front of other brothers and sisters, and be noticed by others, so she took the excuse to hide by this relatively quiet stream to be alone, and it was precisely because of this that she accidentally found that not far from the Tianzifang on the opposite side of the creek There were several big people with red tassels on the end of their hair.

Honghui's chance encounter with her was a good show she had carefully designed.

Originally, when Xiao Liniang was still worried about how to contact the ideal object in her mind, the departure of the fourth master made her panic fiercely, she was afraid that she would miss Honghui like this, but before she could calm down the disappointment and helplessness in her heart, she found that Honghui and other princes and brothers were still in place, which made her ecstatic, and then a big pie fell on her head.

Because she saw that Honghui actually threw off the servants and followed the arch bridge not far away, to Gengzhixuan.

"The folk girl Xiao Liniang has seen the nobles, and I hope that the nobles will forgive the people's abrupt and rude behavior. She pretended to be picking flowers, and appeared at the end of the path that Honghui passed, and after seeing Honghui, she pretended to be panicked, and directly came to a scene of kneeling and pleading, in order to make this play more real, she deliberately knelt on the uneven cobblestone path.

Beneath her knees was the bumpy cobblestone path, and behind her was the hot sun.

In the blink of an eye, drops of crystal clear sweat slid down her smooth and jade-like cheeks, and a few crumbling teardrops stuck to her eyelashes, showing her delicate side.

"How do you know that I am a nobleman?" Honghui saw this, and helped Xiao Liniang up with pity, and asked curiously.

Xiao Liniang took two steps back as if to avoid suspicion, panicking in her heart, why didn't she notice Honghui's short fight that was a little shabby than the eunuch robe, but she was a smart person who had been polishing in the pear orchard for more than ten years, and quickly came up with a suitable reason.

I saw her raise her head with tears in her laughter, blink her eyes slightly playfully, and explained in a low voice: "The folk girl saw that you were dressed in coarse linen, but it was difficult to hide her majesty, so there was this guess, if the folk girl guessed wrong, I also hope that you will keep this secret for the folk girl, and don't reveal it to others, so that it is good for you and the folk girl." After saying this, she didn't forget to make a cute gesture of folding her hands to Honghui.

"Oh, then what good will it do me if I keep your secret?" Honghui deliberately teased.

Xiao Liniang seemed to have been fooled by Honghui, and explained with a panicked face: "Do you think, if the other nobles in this garden know that I actually think you are a nobleman, then how can these nobles who value their status the most be happy, that is, they will not openly trouble you, but a casual look can toss you half to death, so if I guess wrong, you must keep this secret, even your best friend can't tell me." ”

"Okay, I got it. Hearing this, Honghui replied with a funny feeling in his heart.

After Xiao Liniang got Honghui's answer, she showed a smile as if she was much more relaxed in her heart, and explained the reason why she appeared here with a familiar look: "Fortunately, you are not a noble person in this garden, I secretly came here to pick flowers and go back to insert a bottle, if this is really met by the noble person in the garden, I don't know if I will be blamed!"

As she spoke, she stuffed the budding lotus flower she was holding in her arms into Honghui's arms.

"This is the lotus I just picked over there, compared to other flowers and plants here, the lotus is the best kind of flower to feed, just get some water, you can raise it for a few days, give it to you." Xiao Liniang explained with a smile.

"Then I'll take it. Honghui looked at the flower branch in Xiao Liniang's arms and replied with a smile.

Xiao Liniang nodded happily and said, "Mmmmmmmm ”

After speaking, she nodded to Honghui, bypassed Honghui's side as if she was about to leave, and walked along the cobblestone path in the direction where Honghui came.

Originally, Honghui still had some suspicions that Xiao Liniang was deliberately arousing his own curiosity, and he was on guard, but when he saw Xiao Liniang leaving so simply, the little doubt in his heart disappeared immediately, and at the same time, he really had a good impression of the somewhat strange little girl in front of him, and when he thought about it, he had already followed with his legs.

Xiao Liniang heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and a light smile crossed the corner of her mouth.

But soon, this smile was hidden by her wary frowning eyebrow shape, she turned her head vigilantly, and asked in a deep voice with a slight frown: "Why are you following me, don't you have anything else to do?"

Honghui had never experienced this feeling of being treated as a pervert, and scratched his head a little embarrassed: "I...... I...... I suddenly remembered that I had left something at the residence, and I wanted to rush back to pick it up, but I didn't mean to follow the girl, and I asked the girl not to misunderstand. With that, he pretended to take a few steps back, as if to avoid suspicion.

Hearing this, Xiao Liniang nodded slightly, and apologized softly: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." ”

Speaking of this, she smiled a little shyly and continued: "Since you are also going over there, then let's go together, and talk on the way, I am the first time to perform here, and I am quite unfamiliar with the environment here, and having you, a person who is familiar with the environment, can also prevent me from running to some special place and making mistakes!"

"Then let's go together. When Honghui heard this, he was overjoyed and agreed.

After speaking, he also avoided the side very gentlemanly, leaving the narrow cobblestone path to Xiao Liniang to walk, stepping on the muddy land next to him, following Xiao Liniang's side, walking in the direction of talking and going, and from time to time he had to accompany Xiao Liniang to pick some flowers and plants, but he did not feel bored, but had a feeling of joy that he had never felt.
