"Huh?" Tao Zhimo didn't understand this time.

"You two know each other?" Luo Yaosi finally interjected, these two people "you are you" endlessly.

Tao Zhimo was a little confused, "I'...... I don't think I knew Childe before, right? ”

"You...... You ......" The boy seemed to be a little nervous, and pulled his sleeve, "You are the sixth lady of Taofu." ”

Tao Zhimo was a little surprised, and nodded, it seems that this person really knows her?

"Girl, do you remember four years ago?" The Confucian students came one by one, "I went to Beijing four years ago to take the exam, but ...... I didn't get lost with my servant, and then I was stolen by a thief, and at that time, you gave me ten taels of silver. As if afraid that she wouldn't remember, he added in a little panic, "It's at the East City Gate, at that time, girls disguised themselves as men, but ......" He didn't say anything, but she was more beautiful than women's clothes.

"Oh! I remember! Tao Zhimo really suddenly realized this time, "You are the dumb scholar!" ”

"Poof!" Luo Yaosi on the side couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

The scholar's face suddenly turned red, Tao Zhimo was a little embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly smiled: "Yes...... I'm sorry! ”

She remembered that at that time, she and Nangong quit to ride horses in the suburbs, and when they went out of the city, they met a down-and-out scholar, and she still remembered that Nangong didn't say a word when she gave the silver. But then he was sullen all the way, and it wasn't until he was on the way back that he held back a sentence, "A dumb scholar!" Look what he does! ”

When she heard this, she laughed until her stomach hurt. Somehow, she remembered his words.

"It's okay," the scholar was a little ashamed, "I was stupid at the time. ”

"It's not much smarter now." Luo Yaosi couldn't help but laugh.

As soon as she said this, the scholar was so ashamed that his ears turned red for a while, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, "Just now, I made a few people laugh." ”

"It's nothing," Tao Zhimo smiled and lowered her voice again, "This boss is too bad at business." It's not worth spending five taels of silver to buy a few flowers. ”

The scholar analyzed: "Just because I am still a student, my daily expenses are all given by my father at home, and my father is not easy to do business, so he can't be too extravagant." ”

Tao Zhimo smiled, "If that's the case, then it's yours to buy it." ”

With her understanding, the scholar became much more comfortable, hesitated for a moment and finally said: "The girl's kindness four years ago has always been remembered in my heart, I don't know if I can, please...... Ask the girl to ......" Xu was a little nervous, and he stammered.

"You want to treat her to dinner?" Luo Yaosi said bluntly.

The scholar paused for a moment, then nodded, his expression a little unnatural. She was different from him and men, and his request may have been a bit presumptuous.

Tao Zhimo and Luo Yaosi covered their mouths and smiled when they saw his shy appearance.

"I can't eat at this hour, so why don't you go shopping with us first." Luo Yaosi said with a smile, this scholar is really a goose.

"This ......" the scholar felt that something was wrong.

"I don't know what Childe is called?" Luo Yaosi asked with a smile, with a somewhat flirtatious look on his face.

"Down, Li Jishan." He turned his face away and gave a gentle look.

Li ...... Accumulate goodness? Tao Zhimo repeated, and felt like he had heard it somewhere. Accumulate goodness, accumulate goodness......

"Oh, Li Gongzi is also." Luo Yaosi nodded.

"The girl is polite, I don't know the girl, what do you call it?"

"Luo, Luoyang's Luo."

"Miss Luo."

After greeting a few people, they went to enjoy the flowers one after the other.

That Li Jishan had no intention of appreciating the flowers, but just looked at Tao Zhimo's figure stupidly, not daring to get too close, nor daring to get too far away.

Yongwang's Mansion.

Nangong resigned and returned from the court, changed into his regular clothes, and came to a courtyard.

This courtyard, without a name, is newly completed, brick by brick, all exquisite and exquisite. If Tao Zhimo sees it, he will be surprised, because the grass and trees here are exactly the same as the Xiaoxiao Courtyard in the Prime Minister's Mansion back then, with rockeries, lakes, lotus ponds, and water pavilions......

The only difference is that there are two more pools. a warm jade pool, which drains from the hot springs on Feiming Mountain; A clear pond spring, the spring water is clear, warm in winter and cool in summer.

"Is her foot healed?" Nangong took off his clothes, opened his slender legs, and slowly walked into the clear pond spring, the slightly cool spring water soaked through his skin, soothing his fatigue.

Luo Yaosi said that he would be able to trot in two days. By the spring of the clear pond, a man in black stood respectfully.

"Hmm." Nangong closed his eyes and recuperated.

"I made seven boxes of rouge in the morning, saying that I wanted to make the flowers that the Splendid Academy hated the sky."

"Go pick it for her."

"Yes." The man in black bowed his head and continued, "When I was a child, I went to the Hundred Flowers Feast in the South Gate Flower Workshop with Luo Yaosi, Cai Wei, Lian Tong and the three maids. ”

"Feet are good?" Nangong frowned slightly when he heard this.

"It's no big deal, Qian Chou arranged a sedan chair, and we also arranged people to be around, so that she won't be squeezed. It's just that not long after they arrived, they met a Confucian student in front of a stall, and this Confucian claimed that he had given him ten taels of silver at the south gate four years ago when he was down......

"Li Jishan?" Nangong Ci opened a pair of phoenix eyes with a small profit.

"Yes, a person, a person from Baoying County, eighteen years old."

Nangong Ci slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, it seemed that he still didn't give up. This Li Jishan was the young man who was eyebrow-raising with her when he was guessing the lantern on March 15, but fortunately Tao Zhimo was wearing a veil on his face at that time, and he didn't recognize her. It's just that the world is so coincidental, and today the two finally met again.

In his previous life, the day after he included Momo in the house, it was the day the list was released. This Li Jishan won the champion, and invited the matchmaker to go to the right minister's mansion to propose marriage on the same day, when he knew that Tao Zhimo had been included in the Yongwang Mansion as a concubine yesterday, he was seriously ill.

In the next two years, he was an official in the same dynasty, and he was silent. Later, when he heard rumors that Tao Zhimo was not doing well in the palace, a small five-grade official dared to stop him and question him face to face.

Later, the rumors of his abuse of concubines intensified, he actually knelt in front of the palace, took off his official hat and begged him to let Tao Zhimo go, he said that he was willing to marry the cheap concubine he didn't want as his wife, and take her away from the imperial capital.

He remembered that at that time, he only replied lightly: Who said I don't want her anymore?

In the end, he found an excuse to demote this Li Jishan to the border to be a petty official. He gave him a chance, as long as he promised to marry a wife and take a concubine, and no longer asked her, he could continue to rise to prominence.

"You must know that a literati like you, there is no more than one in the court, and there is no less than one in the court." He finally warned.

"The lower official has no regrets, please treat her well." He remained unmoved.

"Even if this king abandons a cheap concubine, it won't be your turn to covet it!" He has always been calm, but he was angry at him inexplicably.

"Xiaguan, I didn't covet it, but the prince, you can't afford her." After he said this, he took off his official hat, except for his official uniform.

When he returned home that day, he sent his fire out on her, and he kissed her forcibly, and made her cry again, and she hated him even more.

Nangong Ci's whole person sank into the water. He felt that in his previous life and this life, what he was most afraid of was her tears.

He hated everything that had happened in his previous life, since his house was full of people. It's like a nightmare, never to wake up. What about under one man, above ten thousand? He lost. The higher you stand, the more lonely you become.

It wasn't until dusk that the flower sellers closed their stalls one after another, and Tao Zhimo and the others bought a lot of flowers, and let the three maids take them back to the house first.

Seeing that they were about to leave the flower shop, Li Jishan, who had been following behind him, also stepped forward, but before he could speak, a man dressed as a domestic servant hurriedly chased after him, "Young master! Master! Oh no! ”

Li Jishan turned around and stepped forward and said, "Changde, why are you so flustered?" ”

Chang De panted and said: "The study is gone!" ”

Li Jishan was taken aback, and soon, he turned around and said goodbye to Tao Zhimo and the others, "I'm sorry, I have to retire in advance." It's just ......" he hesitated a little and glanced at Tao Zhimo secretly, "I don't know if I can see you again next time...... Miss Tao. ”

Tao Zhimo smiled, "We will meet by fate." ”

He pursed his lips and finally mustered up his courage, "Miss Tao, forgive me for being presumptuous, if Miss Tao doesn't mind, on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, Qingmei Lake, Zhenbei Pavilion, there will be many people there to watch dragon boats." If...... If the girl is inconvenient, the bento has not been said below. After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for her to answer, and then he said, "I'm leaving!" ”

He was afraid that she would refuse directly, and if he didn't answer, then he still had hope in his heart.

But at this moment, he was anxious, and there were many rare books hidden in the study, all of which were his hard work.

"Well, it looks like we didn't have dinner at all!" Luo Yaosi looked at Li Jishan's departing back and shrugged helplessly.

"Do you really want to eat out?" Tao Zhimo covered his mouth and smiled.

"Why don't you eat if someone pleases!"

"Okay, it's going to be dark if you don't go back." As Tao Zhimo spoke, the group had already stepped out of the flower shop, and now at this hour, the vendors inside had also dispersed for eight or nine years.

"Sister, buy a flower." A timid little girl suddenly appeared on the side, obliquely blocking their way.

Tao Zhimo saw that the little girl was about eight or nine years old, holding a small half bouquet of lilies in her arms, and she was already a little wilted. The little girl's appearance is not outstanding, her eyes are thin, and her nose is a little collapsed, but she doesn't know why, and the look on her face is a little shrunken reminds her of the first time she met Xi'er.

She smiled softly at her, "How do you sell these flowers?" ”

"One flower, as long as a penny." The little girl's voice was a little small, "You can pick a bigger one for my sister." As she spoke, she picked up the few remaining flowers, and really picked the largest one and handed it to her.

The girl's clothes didn't fit well, and the sleeves were a little short, revealing a thin black wrist. Tao Zhimo saw it in his eyes, and took out a small piece of broken silver from his purse and gave it to her, "Give me this bunch." ”

Soon, Cai Wei behind her stepped forward to take the flowers in the little girl's arms.

"Thank you...... Thank you sister! Thank you sister! My sister is such a great person! The little girl thanked her again and again, her face full of joy.

Tao Zhimo smiled, "It's not early, and the flowers have been sold out, so you should go home early." ”

"Yes, yes! Thank you sister! The little girl smiled, and her thin eyes were about to close.

Tao Zhimo looked at her little back and smiled bitterly.
