Let's say that Huai Zhen only said that he was not good and refused to meet Xiao Tang, but Zhang Ye listened to it and asked: "This Tang squire is not very old, and he is in a high position, why does he want to see you?"

Huai Zhen said: "Uncle Tang and my father had a relationship with each other, and when I was very young, he saved my life, so he treated me differently, that's all." ”

Zhang Ye said: "In that case, why don't you go to see him, but disappoint him, but because I came with Master, is it inconvenient for you to go out?"

Huai Zhenyin said with a smile: "It's not that, he asked me to see it, but it's just polite, it's the same if you don't see it, it's the same, don't talk about this, why hasn't Mr. come yet?"

When Mr. Zhu heard this, he stepped into the door and turned to the back room, but saw Zhang Ye and Ying Huaizhen sitting on the kang, with a table in between, Huaizhen lowered his head, and he didn't know what book he was flipping.

When Zhang Ye saw Mr. Zhu entering, he jumped to the ground and called, "Master." He stepped forward again and complained in a low voice, "Master, it turns out that Huaizhen's father is the one we saved in the south...... Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "Who told you to be fast-mouthed, you deserve it." ”

Zhang Ye pouted, recalling that he had said a few "bad words" about Ying Lanfeng to Huaizhen in the past, and made up his mind that he must not say that Ying Lanfeng was the person he saved in the south.

When Huaizhen saw that Mr. Zhu was coming, he hurriedly saluted, Mr. Zhu laughed twice, and said, "What are you looking at?" Suddenly, the side of Huaizhen's mouth broke a little, because he glanced at it again, but he didn't ask anything.

Huai Zhen smiled and said: "I'm flipping through the book, I have a problem recently, and I want to ask Mr. for advice, but I haven't come...... But what's going on in the palace?"

It turned out that Ying Huai was secretly worried about the illness of the prince Zhao Shu in his heart, but he asked if it was not good, and after he finished speaking, he asked those little girls to go out reads();.

There was no one in the room for a while, and Mr. Zhu already understood what she meant, and bowed his head and thought for a while before saying, "There is nothing else, if you are asking about the illness of the prince...... He was brought out of the womb, and it was rare to be cured. ”

Ying Huaizhen was stunned and asked, "What is the meaning of 'brought out of the womb'?

Mr. Bamboo didn't answer, just shook his head and looked at the book again.

Seeing that he was silent, Huai Zhen didn't ask, and pointed to the book: "I searched through these books, but I didn't find what I was looking for, but Mr. Kexi came." ”

When Zhang Ye heard this, he interjected and said: "Master, Huaizhen said that there is a spice that can make plants and trees die, and insects and ants can also attract poison.

When Mr. Zhu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Xiang?"

Huai Zhen said: "I don't know if it's fragrant, it's just made into a fragrant cake, I don't know why, others can't smell it, I smell it alone, I just feel depressed and unhappy, and my head is dizzy......"

Mr. Zhu frowned, and said, "Is there a real thing?" ”

Huai Zhen saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered: "I didn't dare to keep that thing for a long time, so I buried it secretly in the back of the yard." ”

When Zhang Ye heard this, he became happy and said, "This is amazing, where are you buried? I'll dig it out and see what it is." ”

Huai Zhen saw that he seemed to have encountered a good thing, and he was not too tired, so he pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "It's easy to find, it's on the northwest corner of the backyard, close to the root of the wall, I took a look the day before yesterday, only to find that the grass over there is dead......

Zhang Ye couldn't wait, so he went out to dig, and Mr. Zhu shouted: "Don't be reckless, and avoid people." When he went, Mr. Zhu asked Huaizhen, "You only said that the incense was not good, but you never said where you got this thing?"

Ying Huaizhen saw the symptom he asked, and bowed his head for a while, not knowing whether to say it or not. Mr. Zhu pondered and said, "I heard that you went to the palace again a few days ago?"

At the mention of this, Ying Huaizhen lowered his head and replied "yes" in a low voice.

Mr. Zhu nodded, then stopped asking, and in an instant, he saw Zhang Ye running in from outside, and said, "Come on, it's really easy to find, the grass over there is dead, but is this?"

Mr. Zhu glanced at it, and when he saw the needlework and thread, he nodded and sighed: "Sure enough, it is an object in the palace." As he spoke, he smiled at Huaizhen and said, "It's strange that you girl is so cautious and refuses to say a word." ”

Ying Huaizhen saw that he recognized it as something from the palace at a glance, so he asked: "Since Mr. recognizes it, let's take a look, do you know what is wrong?"

Mr. Zhu opened the sachet, took out the piece of incense cake and looked at it, and sniffed it a few more times, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "There is no other taste, how can Huaizhen be like this?"

Mr. Zhu glanced at the two of them, sniffed carefully for a while, and only secretly thought in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he threw the fragrant cake away from him.

Zhang Ye was taken aback and said, "Master, what are you doing?"

Mr. Zhu looked at his fingers, his face showed deep disgust, and said, "Go and fetch water, read ();!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Ye hurriedly went out to ask the maid to fetch water, and he was about to pick up the fragrant cake, but Mr. Zhu shouted: "Don't use your hands! ”

Zhang Ye did as he said, and sure enough, he found a thick piece of paper and wrapped the piece of fragrant cake. Just as the maid came in with water, Mr. Zhu was busy washing his hands, and asked Zhang Ye to wash it too.

Seeing this, Ying Huaizhen knew that the fragrant cake was really not good, so he asked, "Sir, what is this? Isn't it poisonous?"

Mr. Zhu was shocked, and when he saw the maid going out, he said, "Fortunately, this girl of yours is different from others, and warned me in advance that this thing is not good...... Otherwise, even I would have been tricked. ”

Ying Huaizhen looked at him, also strange why they couldn't smell it, Zhang Ye also urged: "What is it?

Mr. Zhu sighed and said, "How old are you? How many places have you been to with me?

As soon as Huai Zhen heard this name, he felt a chill all over his body, Zhang Ye also frowned and shrugged his nose, and said: "This name is so scary, it must be a powerful one, Master, where have you seen it? What is it, but you have to let me see it." ”

Mr. Zhu nodded and sighed: "Do you still want to see it? Do you know that many people will not die when they see it? This thing was originally produced outside the territory, it is not common in China, if it is the kind that grows to the largest, I am afraid that it is three of you stacked together to be as tall as it, this flower has a strange fragrance, which will lead those creatures to lose their souls, and moths throw it into its buds like a fire, and it will hunt and eat it, so the flower is so evil, so it gets this name." ”

Zhang Ye bit his hand when he heard this, and said, "It's really so powerful, it's not like a flower, but like a goblin and monster." ”

Mr. Zhu said, "Isn't it? ”

Zhang Ye suddenly remembered that he had just taken it in his hand, and he was so frightened that he vomited, and he snorted a few times, and he couldn't talk for a while.

Huai Zhen asked, "Sir, since this flower is so powerful, isn't it even more powerful for someone who can mix it into incense without making people notice?"

Mr. Zhu looked at her for a long time, then nodded, and said, "Now you can tell me, where did you get it?"

Huaizhen lowered his head and thought about it, and then said, "I don't hide it from Mr., it's really a big deal...... This object was obtained from the palace, and it was given to the favored palace people by the lady concubine, and this was given to Sister Hanyan, because I felt bad, so I pretended to like it, so I asked for it. ”

Mr. Zhu heard the word "Shufei", lowered his eyes slightly, and then chuckled, Huaizhen saw that he seemed to see a bit of bitterness in his expression, as if there was another article, and he was puzzled, so he tried to ask: "Sir...... But what do you know?"

Mr. Zhu came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Don't be careful, I just feel that if you take such a dangerous thing back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to keep your sister safe, since you have such means, won't you use other methods?"

Ying Huaizhen heard that it was the one thing she was most worried about, so she said, "How is this good?"

Mr. Zhu sighed and said: "This is also just going with the flow, don't you hear that 'heaven and earth are furnaces and work, yin and yang are charcoal and all things are copper'? ”

Huaizhen saw that he ignored this matter, and was secretly anxious in his heart, thinking that Hanyan was such a respectable and amiable person, if he really didn't know that he was lost in the palace, she knew it but couldn't help anything, how could she feel at ease in this life?

Mr. Zhu saw that her eyebrows were worried, he knew what it meant, thought about it, and said: "All things have always been born and restrained from each other, this corpse flower naturally has its natural enemies, if you are not at ease, if you can restrain this fragrance, it is naturally good, in addition, what else do you want? ”

Huai Zhen listened to this, just like he had said before, and nodded.

When Mr. Zhu sat down for a while, he said, "This fragrant cake is a scourge after all if it stays with you, so I'll just take it." ”

Huai Zhen happily agreed, so Mr. Zhu wrapped a few layers of the incense, put it in his sleeve, and carried Zhang Ye to say goodbye.

Huai Zhen couldn't help but get up to see him off, and he didn't stop until he reached the gate of the courtyard, who knew that he was sending Mr. Zhu and Zhang Ye, so he might as well raise his eyes and see Xiao Tang coming from the front.

Huai Zhen saw the familiar figure, and was about to dodge, but it was too late, and Xiao Tang's eyes looked straight at her, as if he could nail her in place.

Ying Huaizhen immediately felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he had to reluctantly lower his head and stop. In an instant, Xiao Tang had already walked to him, so he looked at it and said: "I heard that there is something wrong with you, and your father is also worried, and I am not at ease.

When Huaizhen heard this, he regretted it in his heart: now, it is better to agree when the maid came to invite him before, and he can still go to the study at that time, even if he speaks, it is in front of Ying Lanfeng.

Unexpectedly, the missing excuse he came up with in a hurry became the reason why he came to meet alone.

Huai Zhen sighed in his heart, still lowered his eyelids, and said quietly: "Uncle Tang has a heart, Fang Cai was originally a little not good, fortunately, Mr. Zhu has come to see, and now it is better, Uncle Tang has a lot of opportunities, and he can't finish his serious work, so why bother to come and see it." ”

Xiao Tang saw that she was really this cold and indifferent appearance again, and threw out these words that rejected people for thousands of miles, and couldn't help but think of what Zhao Yongmu, the king of Xi in the Su Palace, said: The more polite and polite she is, the more alienated she is from you.

Xiao Tang smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but as soon as his eyes moved, he saw that there was a slight tear on Huaizhen's lips, just like the cherry that bloomed a little, which was very eye-catching.

Originally, she bowed her head sideways, and her posture was a little strange, as if she was deliberately avoiding something, Xiao Tang didn't pay attention to what was going on, but when she saw the injury at this moment, she suddenly felt a shock in her heart, and there were some confused scenes in front of her.

Huai Zhen couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him because he didn't see Xiao Tang answering, but he saw that his eyes were fixed, and he was looking at his lips.

Suddenly, Huaizhen's face turned red, frowned and turned away, and when he was about to take a step away, he showed his deeds too much, which made Xiao Tang faceless, so he was full of shame and anger, endured it, and only said: "Since Uncle Tang is here, please talk in the house." So saying, he bowed to him sideways, and went into the courtyard.

Xiao Tang also knew that Fang Cai was in a daze for a while, and she noticed it, and blamed herself in her heart, and when she saw Huaizhen turn around, she raised her hand and beat her forehead lightly, and followed with her steps.

After entering the house like this, Xiao Tang calmed down again, and then raised his eyes to look around, and suddenly saw the half-withered plum blossom in the plum vase on the table, which seemed to be a little familiar.

Xiao Tang's heart couldn't help but move, and after glancing at Huaizhen, he asked casually: "These flowers are all withered, why don't you change them?"

Huai Zhen turned around and said, "Although this is the case, there is still incense, and it is a pity to throw away the reads();." ”

Just when Jixiang came in to deliver tea, he smiled when he heard the words: "That day, my cousin came and gave our girl this plum blossom, where is the girl willing to throw it." ”

Xiao Tang's heart was shocked, his eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked at the plum blossom again, he felt that the gold was a little dazzling.

Huaizhen said angrily: "Are you too talkative? ”

Jixiang originally wanted to ask Xiao Tang why he suddenly fell ill that day...... I deliberately came in to deliver tea, but because I was afraid of Xiao Tang's identity and worried about the abruptness of my question, I had to bow down and quit when I saw Huaizhen say this.

Xiao Tang laughed twice and said, "It's strange that I was reluctant to throw it away, it turned out to be a gift from Guo Langzhong." As he spoke, he glanced at Huai Zhen.

Huaizhen frowned, and wanted to argue something, but when the words came to his mouth, he endured it again.

Xiao Tang looked at her expression carefully, then sat next to him, and said with a smile: "Guo Langzhong also went to King Su's Mansion that day, it must be that he was careful and sent it to you...... Yes, let the maid give you the medicine to apply?"

Huaizhen bowed his head and said, "Thank you Uncle Tang for being careful, it's all right." ”

Xiao Tang nodded and said: "Because of the hurry to leave that day, I forgot to bring the medicine, I have somehow acted sloppily recently, and the wife of the family often blames me, and says that I don't remember to ask you to come to the house to talk to her often." ”

Huaizhen didn't look at Xiao Tang, just quietly lowered his eyelids, and smiled when he heard the words: "I also think about my wife in my heart, but I haven't been empty recently, Uncle Tang has always acted properly, how can he only talk about sloppiness." ”

Xiao Tang saw that there was nothing else in the house, so he sighed in a low voice: "If it weren't for the carelessness, how could he have done a big wrong thing the day before yesterday." ”

Huaizhen heard him mention this, although his heart was full of ups and downs, he still smiled faintly on his face, and whispered: "It's just sick, who doesn't have three disasters and eight tribulations, Uncle Tang's body is fine, the past things, don't need to mention it anymore, I have forgotten it." ”

Xiao Tang looked at the broken spot on her lips, although he knew that she was young but had always been calm and calm, but he didn't expect such a reaction. That incident was helpless, he was able to do it himself, it was already very rare, but in the end it was overstepping, so he always thought about it: I was afraid that Huaizhen would be shocked. However, despite this, Huaizhen is getting older and older at the moment, but it is not something that can be seen when he was a child.

In the past few days, because of the spring festival, he came into the house to discuss with Ying Lanfeng, and after saying a few words, he only used the excuse that he had not seen him for a long time, and he really missed it and wanted to see it.

Ying Lanfeng knew that he had a repeated life-saving grace to Huaizhen, and he was here at an age, and he had always been like an elder, not to mention that he was also kind to himself, so he treated Xiao Tang differently from others, so he hurriedly asked someone to invite Huaizhen over.

Unexpectedly, Huaizhen only pushed his body badly, so Xiao Tang excused himself to see it, Ying Lanfeng did not doubt him, and immediately responded.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tang saw Huaizhen, and saw that her expression was sparse and indifferent, as if nothing like that had happened, but it made Xiao Tang in a trance, but the little wound on her lips suddenly woke up the crazy situation in his heart, reminding him that it really happened.

However, seeing that Huai Zhen was like this, Xiao Tang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, although he didn't want her to cry and grab the ground, and he was glad that she was not looking for death and life like other girls, but he didn't want to be so normal, so it was ......

Xiao Tang pondered in his heart for a moment, and then said: "Huaizhen, there is no one else here, I will just tell you the truth, that day...... Whatever the cause, what was my big mistake......"

Huai Zhen listened in a daze, not knowing what he was going to say, Xiao Tang's hand clenched tightly, a little nervous for no reason, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled again, and said, "You know that I am not such a frivolous and rude person, although ...... But after all, it's a matter of life, if you don't like it...... I do...... responsible for reads();. These words are as heavy as a thousand pounds, but after saying them, the body and mind are light.

In fact, Xiao Tang didn't think about this matter seriously, what "give and receive", and he entrusts him for life, and he didn't care about it seriously, just because he knew that Huaizhen had never been that kind of narrow temperament, and the two were very different in age, so in the past few days, although this kind of thought occasionally passed through the bottom of his heart, it was just a flash, and he never dared to think about it carefully.

Who knew that when they met, they saw that Huai Zhen was cold and indifferent, and this idea in his heart came out as if he was tricky, and after thinking about it quickly, he brought it up.

For the first time, Huai Zhen saw him speak intermittently, very hesitantly, and so upside down, he almost didn't know what he was talking about, and it took him a long time to react.

Huai Zhen was shocked, and stood up suddenly, looking at Xiao Tang fixedly, his face first turned red, and then slowly turned white, and the light in his eyes flickered.

Xiao Tang saw that she had understood, and his heart was inexplicably much lighter, so he tried to ask, "If you are ...... If you say yes, I'll ...... Adults should say......"

Unexpectedly, before Xiao Tang finished speaking, Huai Zhen said: "No, no need to ......"

Xiao Tang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Huaizhen, but saw her looking at herself, frowned slightly, and said, "Uncle Tang, if you are for my good, you don't have to think more...... Only ...... Don't tell anyone about it. Just think it's ...... God knows, you know and I know...... Okay?"

Xiao Tang heard her say this suddenly, and he was a little disappointed in his heart, he showed favor to a girl for the first time, although the idea of "marrying" had never been seriously weighed, but at this moment, it was a sincere heart, and he didn't want to say it, but he was directly photographed back, and he was a little stunned for a while.

Huai Zhen saw that he was silent, so he said: "Uncle Tang, you were drugged that day, and what you did was a last resort, and I also know very well, how can you make mistakes from this mistake, it is better to let it go, everyone treats it as if nothing happened, okay?"

She asked twice in a row, Xiao Tang frowned and looked at her, and suddenly understood in her heart: Huaizhen really had no intention of him, and he had no intention of marrying.

Xiao Tang's heart was shocked, and he was even more speechless, full of loss, beyond words.

After looking at her for a long time, her eyes moved from her black and white eyes to the sandalwood mouth, and she was annoyed for a moment, and hurriedly looked away, but when she saw the plum blossom on the table again, Xiao Tang couldn't help sneering: "I see, you ...... in your heart" There must already be a person, so I'm afraid I'll say something?"

Xiao Tang was flustered, he didn't cover his mouth for a while, and he knew that it was not good before he spoke out, and he was busy looking at Huaizhen, and sure enough, he saw that her face was flushed, but he only looked at him angrily, as if he was angry, and there were some tears in his eyes.

Xiao Tang regretted it and was busy apologizing. Huaizhen leaned over and said with tears in his eyes, "Uncle Tang...... I've been here for a long time......"

Just as he was about to send off the guests, he suddenly heard someone laughing outside: "Is my sister at home?" I have something good to show her!" It was Zhang Zhen's voice.

But I heard the little girl smile and said, "Brother Zhen'er, are you skipping school again?

Zhang Zhen smiled: "What's so good about those books? Why bother to look at each other, I don't have the ability to name the gold list, so I won't be with Brother Pei and Brother Xiaojue, now I have good things, show my sister to be happy, there are many good children." ”

The little girl wanted to tell him that he was sitting in the examiner of this exam, but Zhang Zhen was anxious, so she didn't wait for her to say, so she walked into the room happily reads();.

Let's say that Zhang Zhen is full of spring breeze, holding a thing in his arms, and quickly walks inside, while calling "Huaizhen", who knows that he looked up and saw that although Huaizhen was there, there was a person next to him who could not be ignored.

Huaizhen looked at the two of them, and saw that Zhang Zhen was afraid, so he had to say loudly: "Big ingot, come and see it...... Lord Tang. ”

Zhang Zhen was reminded by her, and only then did she come forward nervously, but she never expected that there was a "tiger" sitting in Huaizhen's room, and she was so frightened that her legs and feet were weak, and it was too late to escape.

Xiao Tang looked at Zhang Zhen, still a little angry in his heart, and now he was a little more annoyed: Imagine that now that Huaizhen is older, even if he wants to meet, he has to get Ying Lanfeng's consent, or in front of people, it is difficult for Zhenzhen to see each other, but this young man can enter the house unscrupulously, and he is so intimate, although he is smiling slightly on his face, only he knows what he thinks.

Xiao Tang smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, are you a big ingot?"

Zhang Zhen saw that he knew his nickname, so he didn't dare to look up, his eyes were rolling, and he hurriedly said, "Yes." ”

Xiao Tang's voice became softer and softer, and he said, "I also participated in the Spring Festival this time?"

Zhang Zhen swallowed and said a "yes". Xiao Tang laughed a few times and said, "It's rare, a young talent, and the future is immeasurable." "Don't say anything else.

Zhang Zhen was tight-skinned for a while, and he couldn't make a sound, Huaizhen saw it next to him, and he couldn't care about being angry with Xiao Tang in his heart, so he had to say for him: "Da Yuanbao was originally very studious, but now I'm afraid that I'm tired of studying, and I just happened to meet Uncle Tang, which can be regarded as fate." ”

Xiao Tang saw that she was finally willing to speak, so he said: "I'm afraid that Su Ri is too diligent, I came by chance, and I actually met it?"

Huai Zhen saw that he had a sense of responsibility, and said softly: "No, it's just because I grew up with Da Yuanbao, and he sympathized with me for being very stuffy in the house, so he paid a special visit, just kind." ”

Xiao Tang sighed deliberately, and said: "But now that it's going to be spring after all, you should put more effort into taking the exam, if you are in high school, you can glorify your ancestors and serve the court, how can you be so mediocre and waste time?"

Zhang Zhen was afraid of his identity and fame, and even more so that a truant candidate met the examiner, just like a mouse seeing a cat, he couldn't say a word at the moment.

Huai Zhen was afraid that Xiao Tang would embarrass Zhang Zhen, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Da Yuanbao is very diligent on weekdays, but I feel that he is tired, so I often pull him to play...... It should be mine, if there is a future in the future, it will naturally be diligent and upward. ”

When Xiao Tang saw that she was explaining every word, she explained to Zhang Zhen and protected her well, so he looked at her.

Huaizhen was looked at by him, and when he saw that his eyes seemed to be smiling, his heart trembled, and he was in a dilemma.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tang sneered again, and said, "What are you afraid of? I just said a few words casually, just for his good, can I punish him? It's hard for you, sentence by sentence, for him." ”

Huai Zhen's face was already red, and he whispered: "Da Yuanbao was nervous, so he couldn't speak, I said it for him, Uncle Tang wants to blame me." ”

Xiao Tang saw that she was shy and angry at the moment, and she was in a trance for a while, looking at a little cherry blossom on her lips, recalling her sandalwood tongue, thinking about it, Xiao Tang was still unsatisfied, and couldn't help licking her lips.
