Chapter 43: Encountering the Garden

The cold moon is lonely, the snow is misty, and the night leaks deep and long, as if it can't hold up the dawn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Ah Heng..."Wen Wan woke up from her dream, still muttering the name between her lips and teeth, touching the cool piece of the pillow, all wet with her own tears.

The heart-piercing pain, like the tide of despair, is endless.

Dreams have been with her for as long as she can remember. In her dreams, she also tried to see the appearance of the person on the couch, but it was always in vain.

Afraid of alarming the little girl on duty at night, Wen Wan didn't even light the lamp, and by the moonlight outside the window, she changed the pillow lightly, and sat silently in her clothes.

She muttered again: "Ah Heng", only to feel that this name was unusually familiar around her mouth, as if she had been called thousands of times, but she couldn't remember anyone.

Qin Yun plugged the grass and swallowed the moon, so much so that it seemed that who had been talking to her, but now they have all turned into ruins. A sorrow filled her heart, and she lowered her head silently, not letting the low sobs overflow between her lips.

At the beginning of the snowfall, in the Canglang Xuan where Su Duhan lived, the lights in the outer study were lit almost overnight.

The tassel was paid attention to Su Duhan's taste, and was left here by Murong Wei, a little apprehensive and a little happy, the conversation with Murong Wei in the carriage that day was warmed by her heart a thousand times, and the words were remembered clearly.

Seeing that Su Duhan didn't use much for dinner, he had already simmered a pot of shredded chicken and salty porridge in the small kitchen, added shredded tofu mushrooms and cabbage sum, stirred them evenly, and put them in a crockpot to send porridge to Su Duhan.

The Su family is not prosperous, there are no daughters with Su Duhan's generation, Chu Zhaohui doesn't like the huge palace to be empty, and he didn't let his son avoid the outer courtyard early.

The vacant land close to the weeping flower gate was vacated, and an open and comfortable courtyard was built, and Su Rui personally mentioned the word "Canglang" to be his son's daily living place.

Passing through the moon cave gate of Canglang Xuan, there is also a small garden, named Yuyuan, which was specially built by Chu Zhaohui for his son.

According to the style of Suzhou garden, the stacked stones are mountains, the pine trees are green, and there are pond water ripples, around the faded curved fence of Nanmu, there are several plantain and bamboo.

At sunset, the louver is heavy, reflecting the sun at the corner of the eaves, which is the best place to enjoy and play.

Passing through the Moon Cave Gate, there is an empty field of dozens of zhang, if Su Duhan does not go to the school field, this is where he practices every day.

Yuyuan runs through the north and south with a path paved with mud and golden square bricks, with bamboo leaves on both sides, one end is connected to Canglang Xuan, and the other end is closely connected to Su Duhan's outer study outside the second gate, which is convenient for him to go back and forth between the two places without detouring.

The tassel is stepping on this mud gold brick road to the inner house to the outer study, through the Nanmu inlaid glass sash, she saw that there were rare figures, knowing that there were guests, so she didn't go in first, and stood under the porch.

Su Duhan's little maid Moyu recognized her, first called her sister affectionately, and then invited her to the tea room to warm up, and said courteously: "The prince has a guest, my sister will rest here first, and I will go and get some snacks for my sister." ”

Tassel is the person who came out of the palace in the end, and she knows the importance of dignity and humility, she smiled and thanked her, followed Moyu to the tea room, and handed the crockpot to him.

"Don't bother you, I'll put down the porridge and go back to the inner courtyard. Since the prince has a guest, you first simmer the porridge on the fire, and then present it when the prince is free. The prince eats less dinner, so you can persuade you to use a bowl of porridge, don't worry about Mrs. ”

Mo Yu agreed to take the porridge, and brought a plate of snacks from the small kitchen: "Sister Labor bothered, just eat a cup of tea and leave." ”

Tassel picked up a piece of snack and asked idly, "Why are there still guests at such a late hour?"

Mo Yu made tea for the tassel first, poured a cup himself, and said in a low voice: "Don't hide it from my sister, this guest can't be stopped by the Internal Affairs Office, and someone said that he is the cousin and younger brother of our prince. ”

Tassel heard it strangely, raised his eyebrows and asked: "The prince family doesn't live in the county now, why is it involved in the Xixia realm, how can people identify themselves." ”

Mo Yu said: "Who said no, I never moved, and our sons don't recognize it, but it's not good to slack off." At this time, I am talking with him, so I have to arrange to stay first, and then make plans when I return to the princess tomorrow. ”

The relatives of the Su family have not moved around for many years, and the people in the house don't recognize them, so Mo Yu said vaguely, and the tassels were so clear that they could understand it.

It was difficult to walk on a snowy night, the tassel put down the tea bowl and said goodbye, and Mo Yute found a lantern with a glass cover for her and sent it out the door: "The road is slippery when it's cold, and my sister walks slowly." ”

Tassel thanked him and went out with the lantern, just as he met another servant, Ugin, leading the guest out, and he was busy avoiding the side.

The light under the porch hits the faces of the guests, which looks a little hazy. Tassel glanced curiously, then lowered his eyes secretly. The man was tall and burly, with towering tiger eyes under the eyebrows of the silkworm, clear and spiritual, so that he did look a little like King An.

In the outer study, Su Duhan was tired but not sleepy, he used the porridge sent by tassels, pacing back and forth in the room, it seemed that it was extremely difficult to make a certain decision.

The night is melting, the cold moon reflects the ice edge under the eaves, and the garden is seen from afar, like a jade tower.

Su Duhan walked out of the study and walked along the dark gold mud brick path of Yuyuan. A path back and forth, I don't know how many times he walked back and forth.

The third watch was ten, Su Duhan seemed to have made up his mind and knocked on the door of the visitor.

Murong Wei fell asleep in a hazy mood during the fourth watch, and this time she slept until dawn, and was awakened by the sound of dripping water in the dormitory.

The lotus-shaped pots outside the gauze tent stand quietly, and the flowing water gurgles down from among the flowers, still showing the quiet appearance of the years.

After lying greedily for a while, Murong Wei lazily opened her mouth to call people, Yingluo took a few little palace maids, holding copper basins, incense towels, flower dew and other things, walked in again, and served her to get up.

At the beginning of the morning makeup, the long-lost red sun finally broke through the clouds, and the golden sunlight sprinkled all over the vestibule, and through the rosewood window sash carved with hibiscus patterns, it poured on Murong Wei in front of the dressing mirror.

The green glazed tiles on the main hall are reflected in the sun's rays, and the melted ice edges slowly drip down along the copper iron horse under the eaves, and there is a clanging sound.

After being stuffy in the hall for many days, a pair of canaries that were taken to the bottom of the corridor flapped their wings lightly and cried gracefully in the white jade cage. Red Beans is instructing the little palace maid to take the good walnut meat and add food to them.

Looking out of the window, the snow in the hall has not melted, it seems to be Qionglou Yuyu, and the red plum is a little silvery, revealing the chill of pretty.

Today is the fifteenth day, the day to meet the emperor's grandmother according to the rules. Remembering to see her grandmother early, Murong Wei ordered the meal to be set. She hurriedly used a bowl of white fungus soup, then put down the silver chopsticks and told Yingluo to change her clothes.

According to her earlier habits, Yingluo first held a silk wide-sleeved moonflower dress with cherry blossoms, purple embroidery, gold and silver, and invited her to take a look.
