The life of Gujiazhuang, although it is in the countryside, the degree of food and clothing is naturally not as exquisite as that of the Zhao family in Yangzhou City. But it was a period of time when Du Heng was in a particularly comfortable mood. Zhao Shinan went to the printing and dyeing factory during the day, and Du Heng read in the house, or went to the lotus pond with Zheng Xiaoyu to play. From the beginning of the boat was still shaky, to the later can actually row two pennies steadily. At night, Zhao Shinan and Du Heng chatted under the candlelight, telling interesting anecdotes from all over the world, and they were comfortable and comfortable.

On this day, Du Heng was a little uncomfortable when he got up in the morning, and he originally asked Zheng Xiaoyu to go to the lotus pond to pick lotus flowers, but his body was also soft, so he stayed at home and did not go. In the afternoon, Zheng Xiaoyu deliberately collected the boat and harvested it early, broke the picked lotus canopy, filled a small basket full of lotus seeds, and brought it to Du Heng.

"It's so early today?" Du Heng was very happy when he saw Xiaoyu. Since she was a child, she grew up with her brother, and her brother likes to sink his face at every turn, and the sentence "I won't take you to play anymore" scared Du Heng obediently. She wished that a sister could play somewhere. Although Zheng Xiaoyu was born in the countryside, he is clever and clever, and his words are seven points ironing and three points emotional. Du Heng fell in love with this sister from the bottom of his heart.

"I'm here to accompany you. Thinking that my sister must be suffocated at home. Xiao Yu opened the basket of lotus seeds and giggled, "Look, I picked a lot today." If you want to eat lotus seed soup or fried lotus seeds with sugar, I'll make it for you later. ”

"I want to eat both. Du Heng deliberately teased Xiaoyu, and the two laughed again. was laughing, and a deep male voice came from the door: "What is so happy?"

While speaking, Zhao Shinan pushed the door in. The afternoon sun hit Zhao Shinan's face, outlining a clear and resolute outline. Dressed in a azure robe, Zhao Shinan, who was tall, stood in the middle of the house, and the low wooden house in the countryside suddenly looked a lot smaller. Zheng Xiaoyu only felt that his heart suddenly seemed to forget to beat.

Zheng Xiaoyu saw most of the men or boys in the village, he had never seen a person like Zhao Shinan, he didn't see it clearly by the lotus pond that day, but today he saw it carefully for the first time, not to mention that he was clean and handsome, just the powerful aura on his body made people hold their breath. Zheng Xiaoyu, who has always been hearty and loud, lowered his head for the first time.

"This is?" Zhao Shinan knew that Du Heng was uncomfortable in the morning, and he didn't worry about coming back to take a look in the afternoon, but he saw an extra face.

"Zheng Xiaoyu. Xiao Yu was nervous and stammered. Du Heng chuckled and poked Zheng Xiaoyu's head: "Silver-like pewter gun head, you have always been a woman." He turned to Zhao Shinan with a smile and said: "The second daughter of Zheng Steward of the Printing and Dyeing Factory." ”

"Oh. Zhao Shinan is familiar with Steward Zheng, and he is supervising and managing the progress of the entire dyeing workshop. It's not a person who has no ink, why did he give his daughter such a vulgar name, and couldn't help laughing: "Xiaoyu? ”

Saying that, Zhao Shinan walked to Du Heng's side, completely ignoring the fact that there was someone beside him, so he touched Du Heng's forehead and touched his hand again: "It's not hot, it's estimated that I'm tired, just lie down like this, but don't move anymore." Huh?"

Zheng Xiaoyu had never seen such an intimate action between men and women, his face was already flushed, and he hurriedly hid outside, but he couldn't help but sneak a peek through the door.

Du Heng has long been accustomed to Zhao Shinan's "can't help it", and raised his eyes and smiled brightly: "I know, long-winded." ”

Zhao Shinan couldn't help pinching his flower-like smile, and chuckled: "You are not small, but you dislike me." After asking Du Heng a few more words, he turned around and returned to the dyeing workshop with confidence. When he walked to the door, he didn't look at Zheng Xiaoyu who was cowering to the side, and strode forward.

Zheng Xiaoyu looked at Zhao Shinan's distant back, and his heart slowly resumed beating, and secretly sighed that there was such a man in the world, which showed that he was usually a frog at the bottom of the well. is so handsome, and knows how to hurt people. Du Heng couldn't move a few times a day, and if he stayed in the village, he would have been scolded as a lazy woman, but in the eyes of that fairy-like man, he was still "tired"? Oh my God! Zheng Xiaoyu's mood couldn't be calm.

That night, Zheng Xiaoyu tossed and turned on his hard bed and tasted insomnia for the first time. Zhao Shinan's figure kept dangling in front of her eyes, every action became a slow motion in front of her eyes again and again, and every sentence was repeated in her heart, thinking that the only thing Zhao Shinan said to her was "This name is interesting", and she couldn't help but want to catch fire, countryman, it's good to have a name, she felt that her name was very annoying for the first time.

When Zheng Xiaoyu tossed and turned, Zhao Shinan and Du Heng were in love, and Zhao Shinan always seemed to be not enough for Du Heng. Zhao Shinan whispered emotionally in Du Heng's ear: "Heng'er, we want a child." Du Heng nodded lightly and floated to the clouds under the impact of Zhao Shinan.

The passion receded, but the smooth skin on Du Heng's body still made Zhao Shinan feel uncomfortable, and his fingers stroked it again. Du Heng couldn't bear it a little, so he hurriedly pushed Zhao Shinan's hand away and changed the topic: "By the way, how did Fang Zi try recently?"

Speaking of Fangzi, Zhao Shinan was depressed: "The dyed silk is very bright, but it doesn't have that luster." ”

"Alas. Du Heng sighed, "I don't know what the reason is, my brother has tried many times, I thought it was because of the water, and deliberately drew water from the deep well in the house where we lived before, and transported it over, and it was not like that." ”

"Okay, don't worry about it all day. Zhao Shinan took Du Heng, "I'll think of these things." ”

"What's the idea? Time is running out. Du Heng's fingers were dishonestly scratched on Zhao Shinan's chest.

Zhao Shinan was tickled by her, got up and pressed it again: "Scratching people's little things, add Du Heng leaves to the pot to cook another day---"

Zhao Shinan's words were not casual, he heard Du Heng say that the place where the drunken flower brocade was produced was not a house in Yangzhou City, so he moved his mind. I walked around the old ancestral house in the northern suburbs of Du Heng City, and the nearby plants were in addition to the ordinary weeping willows and Qionghua, which were Du Heng and the green trees of flowers and leaves, and Zhao Shinan ordered these to be picked up, connected with the water in the well, and the remaining gold and stones, and drove them back with a horse.

This day's trial recipe has a great novelty, the things brought back from the old house of the Du family, the same kind of boiling is added, Du Heng leaves have no effect, but the leaves and pulp of the flowers and leaves are added to the water, and the dye obviously shows a luster of brilliance. Several experienced craftsmen were excited, and said to Zhao Shinan: "Young master, this can work. ”

Zhao Shinan's quiet heart suddenly came up, and he saw the dawn for the first time in many days: "Continue to boil." ”

The more the material boiled, the better it became, and the sun was setting, Zhao Shinan instructed a mother-in-law: "Tell the young grandmother that I won't go back at night." "He's going to see with his own eyes the dyeing of the first load of new silk.

Du Heng was peeling lotus seeds with Zheng Xiaoyu in the house, and when he heard his mother-in-law's reply, he was stunned, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Is there any progress in dyeing?"

The mother-in-law replied with a smile: "I don't know about this, but seeing that the young master is very happy, those craftsmen are also rolling up their sleeves and doing it in full swing, I'm afraid that they finally have eyebrows." ”

Du Heng's heart jumped up, his cheeks were crimson and Xiaoyu said: "I won't sleep tonight, let's go fry lotus seeds, and I'll send them to Shi Nan later." ”

Zheng Xiaoyu covered his mouth and grinned, Du Heng realized that he was too excited, and knocked Xiaoyu hard: "Dead hoof, there will be you one day in the future." ”

Zheng Xiaoyu's heart sank, and he said sullenly: "The countryside is all rough people, how can there be such a loving sister and brother-in-law." Thinking of Zhao Shinan, Zheng Xiaoyu looked at Du Heng and said, "By the way, sister, you are a person who has read books, help me change my name." Small fish, small fish, listen to it and know how to eat. ”

Du Heng covered his mouth and smiled: "Xiaoyu is not bad, I have a good ride with you, the fish plays the lotus leaf east, the fish plays the lotus leaf west, and ----" Seeing Zheng Xiaoyu's eyes white at her, she grinned and said, "I want to think about it." It's called mallow, okay? It's beautiful and atmospheric. ”

Zheng Xiaoyu knew a few words roughly, although mallow couldn't write, but "brocade" was a beautiful satin, she knew this, nodded heavily and said, "Okay, then it's called mallow ". ”

Not long after, Du Heng and Xiaoyu, who are now mallow seeds, arrived at the dyeing workshop with a small basket of fried lotus seeds with sugar. Zhao Shinan and Steward Zheng were there, and when they saw Xiaoyu, Steward Zheng was slightly surprised: "Xiaoyu, why are you here?"

"I accompanied the young grandmother to send lotus seeds to the young master. Xiao Yu looked at Zhao Shinan beside Steward Zheng, his heart slowed down the beating again, and said to Steward Zheng, "Dad, I changed my name, not called Xiaoyu, called Mallow." ”

"Nonsense!" Steward Zheng's face fell, "The name was changed randomly?"

Du Heng was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "I helped Xiaoyu change it to play, and then change it back." Du Heng was just joking, but he didn't expect Xiaoyu to really propose to change her name with her father.

Zhao Shinan, who had never been angry, said casually: "I listen better than Xiaoyu." ”

When Steward Zheng heard that Du Heng had changed it, he had already lost his temper, and then listened to Zhao Shinan's tone, this name was given by the master's family, and it was not Xiaoyu's blessing, so he hurriedly said to Xiaoyu: "Don't kowtow to the young master and young grandmother, and give the name to the young grandmother?"

The quick-eyed little fish was busy kowtowing, and Du Heng helped him up. Zhao Shinan glanced at Zheng Xiaoyu more at this time, his eyebrows were clear and beautiful, but he was different from ordinary country women, and he still had a natural beauty. Called mallow to live up to this look. I can't help but feel that Du Heng is really a good blue heart, and even his name is good.

Zhao Shinan, whose heart was swaying, pulled Du Heng, pointed to the dye in the pot, and his voice was slightly excited: "Heng'er, this time it will be done." ”

Du Heng looked at the slightly fluorescent dye, and his heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell, just looking at the color, he knew that he couldn't go wrong. couldn't help but hold Zhao Shinan's hand tightly, and his tone was firm: "I'll accompany you tonight, Shi Nan." ”
