Jingshi, the back garden of Chengfu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The scorching sun in the sky bakes the earth hot, but in this small garden, because of the luxuriant flowers and trees, the heat is not half left, and occasionally there are gusts of cool breeze blowing, which is quite pleasant.

In the small pavilion in the garden, two delicate girls sat and stood together. The seated girl had picturesque eyebrows, her hands on her cheeks, and her eyes stared at the empty space in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

The one who was standing was dressed as a maid, but he looked at the melons and fruits on the table for a while, and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then looked left and right, his eyes followed the bees and butterflies flying around in the garden, and he was a little bored.

There was no one else in the pavilion except the master and servant. After a long time, the obviously greedy maid couldn't stand it. Rolling her eyes, she pouted and poked the arm of the sitting girl, and said coquettishly: "Sister En, you have been in a daze for half an hour, don't be a bad person." You see, it's hot on this day, why don't you eat some pumpkin? That melon made Zhu'er sink in the well yesterday and stay in the town for a night, and it won't be cool if you don't eat it at this time. ”

Cheng Yuexian was poked by her and woke up, glanced at her, and said angrily: "If you want to eat, you can eat, which one is still holding you." I'm pretending to be here to be in tune, and I didn't see you obeying the rules much in the past. Go, eat by yourself, don't bother me. ”

Chu'er grinned, cheered and rushed to the table, reached out and picked up a piece of watermelon, carefully brought it to his mouth and took a small bite, and then his mouth squirmed, squinting and savoring, with an intoxicated look on his face.

Watermelons were not planted on a large scale as in later generations, and the name was not watermelon, but sweet melon.

Most of them are trafficked from Ganliang or the south, and they are quite valuable. is like a big family like the Cheng family, but he can only occasionally buy a few to satisfy his hunger.

In the next generation, a family of three or four, a watermelon is enough. But at this time, a large family of one hundred and ten people, where can a few of them be divided? That is, the subordinates close to the main family can occasionally be rewarded with a piece and a half.

Therefore, the little girl Chu'er can guard such a big plate of watermelon, although she can't really eat it all with an open belly, but just looking at it makes her feel happy and satisfied.

I ate two pieces in a row, but I felt that my mouth was full of honey, and a cool breath rose in my chest, and I swept away the heat of that summer.

Comfortably burped, reluctantly looked at the rest of the plate, but the helpless person had a small belly, and he really couldn't eat it, so he took out a handkerchief to wipe his little hands and mouth, tilted his head to look at the young lady who was still stunned, and said crisply: "Sister En, this melon is delicious." Those who grow melons can eat them every day, but don't they have to be like immortals?"

As he spoke, a look of fascination appeared on his little face.

Cheng Yuexian was speechless, glanced at her, and didn't bother to say more to this stupid girl. Can those who grow melons eat melons every day? Not to mention that this melon cannot be eaten as food, and even if they can, where can the melon grower be willing to eat it, it is all money.

After changing the money, I went to buy rice and grain, and the income was enough to keep the family from starving all year round. The strange idea that Chu'er can eat melons every day by planting melons is as disgusting as "why not eat minced meat".

Cheng Yuexian is not the kind of lady who doesn't understand grains, and she still knows a little bit about the suffering of ordinary people. It's just that I'm a little stupid and coquettish, and if I really want to explain it clearly, I'm afraid I don't know how much it will take. On this hot day, she really can't mention the mood of popular science, and she can only finish it at a glance with a good and funny white.

Chu'er didn't know that she was despised by Miss, so she sighed after taking care of herself, and she didn't care if she didn't hear Miss's response. His eyes swirled around on a few other fruits, and he picked a peach and pinched it to his mouth to nibble, and his cheeks were bulging, like a little mouse stealing food. While eating, he said vaguely: "Let's eat comfortably here, poor Sister Peony is running outside, but I don't know if it's so delicious." By the way, Sister En, I remember that we still have a lot of gouache, why do you want Sister Peony to buy it again this time? I heard that the south side is much hotter than our side of the capital, but don't heat it up Sister Peony, Bodhisattva bless. ”

She muttered to herself, Cheng Yuexian was angry and funny when she heard it, got up and walked over, poked her forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you damn girl, either I'm kind enough to let you eat and have fun, or I'm here to arrange me......?

"Sooner or later, I will sell you to Yazi, and people will know. Without waiting for Cheng Yuexian to finish speaking, the little girl rushed to take it, holding her long tongue and rolling her eyes.

Cheng Yuexian was not angry or angry, she raised her hand to fight, but suddenly looked out, and said softly: "Ah, my mother is here." ”

Chu'er was taken aback, hurriedly stood up, and hurriedly wiped her mouth clean. When he was finished, he didn't forget to throw the leftover kernels far away.

Her own lady loves herself, so that she can eat these delicious foods without restraint. But if you don't know how to restrain yourself in front of your wife, you're stupid.

Looking at the girl who was a thief with a weak heart and was busy destroying the corpse, Cheng Yuexian shook her head helplessly, but she had already gone out under her feet.

Mrs. Cheng then entered the pavilion, then sat down affectionately, and said with a raised face: "Why did my mother come over? ”

Mrs. Cheng touched her head dotingly, and said with a smile: "It's always boring to stay in the house, it's good to come out to breathe." It's nothing, just to come and see me. ”

Cheng Yuexian was full of happiness, her big eyes were squinting, like a cat, and she enjoyed her mother's love very much.

Mrs. Cheng hugged her lovingly and said, "What is my son doing just now? It's rare to see that you didn't sweat a lot." ”

Cheng Yuexian's body stiffened slightly, and before she could reply, Chu'er next to her blurted out: "Sister En'er has been in a daze, of course she won't sweat in a daze." ”

Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, then a touch of pity flashed in her eyes, she sighed softly, hugged Cheng Yuexian into her arms, and said softly: "My son, do you know?"

Cheng Yuexian glared at the mouthy girl fiercely, then raised her face to look at her mother, and said softly: "Mother, how will Daddy deal with it?"

Mrs. Cheng was silent, half loud, reluctantly smiled, and said: "Our Cheng family is loyal and righteous, and we should repay the kindness of others, and your father must have done something." It's just that after all, he is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites and a member of the imperial court, and he must be cautious and law-abiding in his every move, but it is not good to say much about this matter for a while, otherwise he will not be able to save people but mistake himself, but it is not beautiful. ”

Cheng Yuexian nodded silently, a gloom flashed in her eyes.

Mrs. Cheng was gloomy in her heart, helped Cheng Yuexian sit up, stretched out her hand and gave her a piece of watermelon, and said tentatively: "I just said it for my mother, our Cheng family has a kindness, there is no doubt about it." However, there are many ways to repay the favor. Sometimes, it may be a good thing for both parties to do it the other way. Sister En, what do you say?"

Cheng Yuexian's body stiffened, and the hand holding the watermelon unconsciously used force, and immediately pinched out the juice of the melon.

The red and bright watermelon juice flowed down the white jade-like wrist, and it was as dazzling as blood.

Mrs. Cheng was shocked, and hurriedly took a handkerchief to help her wipe it.

Cheng Yuexian looked at her mother as if she didn't realize it, half a sound, suddenly smiled, and said indifferently: "What my mother said is true." It's just that the faith must be practiced, the word must be promised, and the words of the saints are spoken! Although the child is a daughter, she will not be inferior to the man. ”

She said this indifferently, but it was sonorous and powerful, and there was an indescribable firmness in her words.

Mrs. Cheng's body was shocked, and a very complicated look flashed in her eyes. looked at his daughter's delicate face fixedly, and his lips twitched a few times, but finally turned into a soft sigh.

Cheng Yuexian put down the crushed watermelon in her hand, raised her head and looked south, her eyes seemed to pass through the endless space, and her eyes showed indescribable stubbornness and persistence.

Wuqing, Fengshui New City Sufu.

Su Mo walked in slowly with a head of mist in his head. Relatives? Could it be people from my hometown? However, it seems that my father said that there are no relatives who are too close to my hometown.

Moreover, even if there is, it should be looking for his father Su Hong, how can he indicate that he is looking for himself?

There is a saying that "no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains", and he is now a rich man in Wuqing. But in the whole Ming Dynasty, it's not even a fart.

If it is said that Shangfu, who can also talk about this, has distant relatives in the deep mountains, it is not believed that he will kill Su Mo. Even if it were, it could be at this juncture. Not to mention distant relatives, even close relatives, I'm afraid that how far away they can run, it's like hiding from the plague.

was ordered by the Son of Heaven to investigate thoroughly, and the Jinyi pro-army was dispatched, with such a posture, which brain-dead relative would come up without knowing whether he was alive or dead?

Not to mention that maybe I don't know, I haven't heard of it, or something like that, if it's really because I know my own point, how can I not know about this bigger thing? Not to mention, the early rumors in Wuqing City are disturbing one after another, that is, I really don't know it at first, but it should be clear when I get to the ground.

And in this case, still rushing headlong. Su Mo felt that this relative must have had his head caught in the door, or he had been kicked by a donkey. Otherwise, it's really hard to explain.

took Zhang Yue and Xu Pengju into the hall, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xu Guangzuo sitting with two young people in the hall. Seeing the three of them coming in, Xu Guangzuo was obviously relieved, and hurriedly got up to meet him.

Among the two young men, the first one was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a slightly dark face and eyes like knives. As Xu Guangzuo got up, he also stood up, looking Su Mo up and down with burning eyes, but there was a strange look on his face.

Su Mo clearly noticed that this person's gaze just swept over Zhang Yue, as if he was not surprised. But when his eyes fell on Xu Pengju, he was slightly stunned, revealing a little suspicion.

The other person was born extremely delicate, with a fair complexion. Dressed in a scribe's shirt and wearing a square scarf, his eyes were also on him, and his eyes were full of exploration.

"Brother Mo, you're back. This is Dan Gongzi, and this is Jiang Zheng Jiang's brother. Well, it's your relatives who came to you. Xu Guangzuo stretched out his hand and introduced. After speaking, he took two steps back and stood behind Su Mo.

Su Mo's eyes narrowed slightly.

After so many days of contact with Xu Guangzuo and others, the brothers have already had a tacit understanding. In Xu Guangzuo's introduction, it turned out to be the Dan Gongzi who was introduced first, obviously Xu Guangzuo thinks that this Dan Gongzi is the one who is in charge.

Dan Gongzi, but what kind of immortal is this?
