1821: Mandarin orange

Looking at his granddaughter who was taken down by the servants to rest, but was full of timidity, Matthew couldn't help but say something.

"She's a miserable child. ”

Lu Zheng said, "First bitter and then sweet, otherwise it will be extremely Tailai." ”

Matthew paused for a moment and said with a smile, "You and I thought about it, do you know what nickname I gave her?"

Lu Zheng didn't know, and Matthew replied, "Oil oranges." ”

"Mandarin oranges?"

Ma Xiu nodded and said, "Yes, oil mandarin, long-term lightweight, prolonged life, bitter and then sweet after eating, suitable for her." ”

Mandarin oranges bloom in spring, produce fruit in summer, and in mid-autumn and late summer and early autumn, they are full of branches and leaves.

This thing is also drought tolerant and barren, quite adaptable, it can be seen in some mountains in the south, and the fruit is slightly bitter and sweet after the entrance.

Lu Zheng heard what Ma Xiu meant, and after a few pauses, he asked, "What about the Daimyo?"

"I haven't taken it yet, this place in the North Abyss ...... What kind of name does a child from this background want, it's good to have a cheap name to call. Matthew was still smiling, but the smile never reached the bottom of his eyes, his eyes were cloudy and dead, and the smile was just a habit he had formed in order to live before, seeing that Lu Zheng was in a heavy mood, Matthew thought about it and said, "...... Let's go back and think about another one......"

The mandarin orange is just a nickname he gave, but the child can't be laughed at with such a nickname in the future.

Lu Zheng said, "Well, take one." If you don't take it, when I adopt her in the future, then it's up to me to decide. ”

Matthew smiled lightly.

Lu Zheng is also a top student in Langya Academy, and it is a blessing for children to name their children with his talents.

The two were silent for a long time, and when Lu Zheng was about to suspect that Ma Xiu was asleep, the latter suddenly talked about the past.

"These days, I always dream of the scene of my youth...... Except for you and Lanting, how about not bending and Benzhi?"

These names have not been mentioned by Matthew for many years, and when I talk about them again after several spring and autumn, I find that they are still so familiar.

Buqu refers to the square straight, and this refers to the end of the river.

"Buqu used to be in Nansheng, but then he couldn't live in seclusion, so he went north to Maruzhou to find Teacher Yuanjing, and got a teaching errand in the Golden Scale Academy, and now his life is leisurely. Lu Zheng talked about the current situation of the old man and sighed, "Ben Zhi ...... You may not know that the lord supports the poor family, so he has some discord with the scholars, but these discord has not yet been put on the surface. Ben Zhi was born in a scholar family, and he could still be willful in the early years, but his parents will always grow old one day, and the family burden will still fall on Benzhi...... In the end, I was alienated from ......"

On the one hand, he was a friend when he was a teenager, and on the other hand, he was stubborn and conservative at home, and Jiang Mo did not have the ability to make a desperate bet.

For so many years, Jiang Mo has also changed from the second boy who only loved the two-dimensional paper man to the head of the deep family in the city.

I remember that a few months ago it was the day of the full moon of the eldest grandson of the end of Jiang, and Lu Zheng made a special trip to congratulate him.

Jiang Mo was so happy that he drank high, and when he was drunk and smoked, he hugged Lu Zheng and cried lowly, and spit bitter water at him.

He wants to stay in his teens forever, so that he doesn't have to bear the double pressure of his family and the outside world, let alone do things he doesn't like against his will, and he doesn't have to become the type of person he hated the most when he was young. Lu Zheng didn't know how to comfort him, and after he woke up the next day, Jiang Mo was like no one else, as if he couldn't remember what he said after he was drunk.

"Shaoyin, you said that if I touched her Liulan Pavilion's bottom line, she would kill me?"

Lu Zheng thought seriously and replied, "If there are still three points of old love, she will do it herself without the help of others." ”

Jiang Mo cried and laughed after hearing this, and waved his hand for a long time before he said tiredly, "What you said is reasonable, I just hope that there will be no day." ”

Lu Zheng retracted his thoughts, and his heart was still heavy.

At this time, he listened to Ma Xiu say, "In this way, among the five of us, only Lanting has not changed. ”

Lu Zheng said, "Those who are resolute in heart are not easy to be moved by external objects. ”

Without this kind of heart, she may not be able to get to where she is now.

I don't know if I thought about it day and night, but Matthew had a long dream that night.

It was also the most restful sleep he'd had in years.

He dreamed of the green mountains and beautiful waters of Langya County, and the end of the river with some baby fat was sitting by the stream fishing, the scorching sun above his head made him listless, and Fang Zhi on the side was so sleepy that he yawned. Lu Zheng and he studied how to make the fire burn more vigorously.

At this time, Jiang Mo complained.

"Why is Lanting still alive? The fish caught here are going to be hungry and thin......"

Matthew smiled, "You love to lie in bed when you're young, aren't you lazy when he's his age?"

Jiang Mo was so angry that his face turned red, "How can anyone be lazy to the point of three poles in the sun?"

As he was talking, he only heard the horse's hooves trampling, and the sound of the horse's hooves on the opposite bank was getting closer and closer, and a red and white shadow rushed out of the dense forest on the opposite bank.

Liu Xi was dressed in a red robe, riding on the back of a tall white horse, and drove the white horse across the not wide river, landing steadily not far from them. Jiang Mo was startled by this movement, and the fish that had just bitten the bait also ran away, so angry that he threw his fishing rod into the stream.

"Liulan Pavilion!"

"Phew!"

Liu Xi grabbed the reins to control the white horse to stand firmly, jumped down, and took down a few rabbits hanging on the horse's back.

"Don't think you'll be able to pay me for a few small things you've hunted?"

Liu Xi clasped his hands around his chest and said, "The thing that was raised in the backyard of the guy surnamed X, I stole it." ”

X Moumou, it seems that he embarrassed Jiang Mo a few days ago, saying that Jiang Mo was indulged in fire avoidance all day but didn't know the real person's wonderful second ancestor.

Liu Xi didn't say a word about stealing the rabbit that someone had raised for a long time, if he let that guy know, wouldn't he cry angrily?

Jiang Mo smiled when he heard this, and the others frowned.

No matter how grudge there is, you can't steal, and if you act so recklessly now, you will get into trouble in the future.

After Lu Zheng, Fang Zhi and Ma Xiu took turns to educate them, Liu Xi complained bitterly, and finally could only admit that she had hunted the rabbit.

"If it's hunting, why do you say it's stealing?"

Liu Xi smiled maliciously, "Isn't this to make you happy?"

Jiang Mo was furious.

"Liu Xi!"

Then there is the barbecue, everyone is not good at barbecuing, but if you grill it yourself, no matter how unpalatable it is, you have to swallow it.

After that, Jiang Mo took advantage of Liu Xi's inattention to push the other party into the water, but he was killed and made himself wet.

"You beat me!"

Liu Xi said with a smile, "Not only will you be defeated now, but you will not be able to turn over in the future!"

Jiang Mo was angry, bared his teeth and said, "When you enter the court in the future, you have to remember this." ”

"Remember, don't forget to be a ghost. ”

Matthew could only be a peacemaker and persuade the two to stop going-for-tat.

……

"Grandpa~Grandpa~"

The call of his granddaughter made Ma Xiu open his eyes leisurely, and the beams in his eyes made him stunned for a long time.

"When is it ...... now?"

Ma Xiu hadn't slept so deeply for a long time, and when he woke up at this time, he felt a little unsure of what day it was.

The granddaughter said, "It's time for lunch." ”

"This sleep is actually three poles in the sun. ”

In another place, Jiang Pengji stayed up all night, thinking about how to take Beiyuan as soon as possible.
