**010 cardamom tips are full of spring

The person on the couch was so thin that she was about to be skinny, and she couldn't even breathe when she was asleep, and the dim candlelight on the desk reflected her sallow face, and Chunxi couldn't help but think of the withered wood hibiscus on the branches of the autumn tail, and the petals were scattered to the autumn wind little by little, and the red of the past was gone.

The swishing cold wind poured in from behind, Chunxi couldn't help but shudder, turned around and went to close the window lightly, and when he turned around, he accidentally knocked over the blue glazed kiln porcelain on the case, and the broken sound echoed in an uproar, Chunxi turned around and found that the person on the couch was still asleep, and Chunxi didn't dare to clean up the broken porcelain, and stood still like a puppet for a while, took two "tin slaves", carefully stuffed them into the futon, never thought, this close-range rustling sound woke her up, she suddenly opened her eyes, stared at her vigilantly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Slave maid, slave maid just wanted to stuff two tin slaves into the lady's futon to keep warm, but she didn't want to wake up the lady."

Zheng Yuan sat up, her eyes still on her face.

Chunxi was surprised, she didn't know why the lady who was approachable a few hours ago suddenly became a lot more wary of herself, after all, she was careful in everything she said and did. She stopped talking, turned and squatted down on the ground to pick up the broken porcelain.

Zheng Yuan lifted the futon and looked at it, and sure enough, she saw two tinnus for heating, and apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't like others to approach me when I'm resting." ”

Chunxi's action of collecting the debris in his hand stopped, hesitated, and turned his head to look at Zheng Yuan: "Slave, slave maid has a question, I want to ask the lady." ”

"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."

After hesitating again and again, he asked in the Chunxi period: "Lady, is the lady's surname Zheng?" ”

Like a deer eating wild apples, hearing the sound of drawing a bow, Zheng Yuan suddenly raised her head and stared at Chunxi.

"The lady doesn't have to be vigilant, the slave maid actually guessed," Seeing the incomprehensible thoughts flashing in her eyes, Chunxi's heart was pounding, she hurriedly lowered her head, picked up the broken porcelain box, turned her face to Zheng Yuan's tense face and dark eyes again, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled: "Lady really don't need to panic, in this Shengdu, I'm afraid that no one in the mansion will be more loyal to the master than the subordinates in the right minister's mansion, and more willing to be the master's liver and brain." Xiangye and Mrs. Wei sent slaves and maids to take care of Zheng Niangzi, and they trusted the slaves and maids, and the slaves and maids would not betray Zheng Niangzi and Xiangye until they died. ”

Zheng Yuan was silent, raised her lips slightly, and didn't want to demolish her, but she came over and tucked the corner of the quilt, her eyes flashed, and she spoke to Zheng Yuan tentatively again: "Yesterday, the imperial commander commanded Commander Xu to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to search for people The scene was so thrilling, the slave and maid were hiding in the corner of the gang, and when they saw Commander Xu walking towards the stable with a sword, they really sweated for Zheng Niangzi. The slave wanted to rush forward to stop him, but the slave and the maid were greedy for life and afraid of death. It is said that he can look at anyone who looks at him as weak, and no one dares to look him in the eye. Every time I go to someone's house to get someone, even a fly in that house wants to fly by, speaking of which, he came to search for Zheng Niangzi this time, or the first time to return without results, the lady hiding in a stable can escape from death under his nose, it is really the Buddha to protect the lady. ”

"Where is the blessing of the Buddha, Xu Lingjian searched me out, it was your grandfather who came forward, and it was a favor with him." Zheng Yuan gave the answer she wanted.

"Oh" Chunxi looked at her and smiled: "I see, the slave maid heard that Xiangye had taught Zheng Niangzi for six years before, and it seems that Zheng Niangzi is incomparable to Mrs. Wei in Xiangye's heart." ”

"Get out! I am tired. ”

Getting the expected answer, Chunxi nodded and slowly exited the door.

A scene in the stable flashed through Zheng Yuan's mind: when he held the blade of the sword with his hand, Xu Lingjian said "It's good to do it yourself"

She expected that the person behind Chunxi should not move again, and when his injuries were almost healed and he could move freely, he would find an opportunity to meet him

The winter snow gradually melted, the red apricot branches showed their spring to the fullest, and the women in the right minister's mansion changed into light crimson spring shirts that complemented it, and busily walked through the corridors full of spring flowers and green leaves.

Zheng Yuan's residence is a secluded and barren garden in the right prime minister's house, the terrain is higher, standing in front of the window and peeking outward, almost overlooking the entire right minister's mansion, but the periphery of the garden is surrounded by forests, rockeries, and ponds, which is very hidden, and it seems to be in an urn. Now the spring is full of joy, the beautiful trees are beautiful and green, the flowers are like clouds steaming and the sun is blue, and the eyes are full of purple and red, which is like the sun in the sky. The cars and horses are endless, and the guests are noisy, even if she lives in a secluded courtyard and closes the windows, she can hear it on weekdays.

It's rare to have no guests today.

A figure came under the sparse and dense green leaves, the person seemed to be galloping from the outside hat back from the dust, forgetting to hand over the horse whip to the horse tamer who bowed to greet him at the gate of the mansion, he walked quickly with the horse whip, pedaled the soap leather boots up the stairs, and stopped coincidentally when passing the moon gate of the deep courtyard where she lived, the horse whip was hooked by the cinnamon branch next to the moon gate, and when he untied it, he met Wei Yun who was ready to enter the moon gate to find her, Wei Yun said a few words to him, he glanced sideways at her, lost the horse whip, immediately turned his head, and walked around Wei Yun.

She hadn't seen him since the day in the stables.

When I saw this person again with my own eyes, the ripples that suddenly appeared in my heart lake were no longer waves.

It seems that the wind and waves have calmed down, Chunxi is right, I am afraid that there is no subordinate in Shengwu who will be more loyal to the master than the subordinate in the right minister's mansion, and more willing to be the master's liver and brain. Everyone in the house knows that there is such a person as her, but she lives her life peacefully and unharmed. I don't know what kind of "Gu" that person gave to the people in this house, which can make them all keep their mouths shut.

Zheng Yuan's injuries are almost healed, and she is thinking about something more and more frequently, Qin Wanggong Sun Er is now the new emperor, the palace is forbidden, she is a woman, she has no martial arts, and she has no power to restrain the chicken, it is almost impossible to sneak into the palace to take his life, unless

The top priority is to find out where Yuanyuan is first, and then again

If there is one omission in the hundred secrets, it will only succeed.

The decoction was devastating, and her body was so thin that it was almost bone-breaking. Chunxi was careful when she helped her change into a goose yellow spring shirt, for fear that her bones would fall apart if she was forced, and after helping her change her clothes, Chunxi actually wept sadly for her from the bottom of her heart, and said that she was too thin to be weak. She thought: Chunxi is actually a good girl, and she can't help being used by others.

Wei Yun occasionally came over to talk to her, and every time she came, she had to give a noble gift, Zhu Qiluo Aya, Jade Hairpin Cuiqiao, Jin Chuan Yintian, but she was stingy and didn't reveal any news about Yuanyuan to her. Once Zheng Yuan asked, Wei Yun said: "Zheng Niangzi, if you feel bored, you can ask Chunxi to take you to the west side of the painting hall near the pond garden, where the apricot blossoms bloom just right, not far from here, and there are few people." ”

The apricot blossoms in the area of the pond garden are indeed blooming, and they will be very prosperous. The bees buzzed endlessly, and one or two yellow warblers dived under the clusters of flowers, pecking at the stamens, and the falling flowers poured like rain, covering the heads of passers-by. There are indeed few people, and it was only after a while that I saw the light crimson gauze shirt and the shadow neatly carrying a bamboo basket, passing under the flower trees on the other bank in twos and threes.

"Compassion is light and cold, and the wind is blowing, and the apricot blossoms are snowing and pink." Chunxi chanted a poem, and said to the figure standing side by side with him in the pond: "Doesn't Mrs. Zheng feel very suitable for the situation? ”

A caustic voice rushed in front of Zheng Yuan and said: "I think this poem is not only appropriate to the occasion but also to people: who knows that the glamorous sex will eventually be negative, and the spring breeze will laugh endlessly!" ”

Zheng Yuan glanced at Chunxi, turned to face Menghua, Menghua walked over with a bamboo basket in his hand, and stared at Zheng Yuan with a smile: "Zheng Niangzi really has Yaxing today, how can she have the strength to come all the way to watch this floating flower wave!" ”

"Mrs. Lu." Chunxi stepped forward to give a salute, but Zheng Yuan stood still.

"You go and get a small fan, don't let this honey-collecting wild bee sting ruin Zheng Niangzi's face."

Spring Creek immediately receded.

The bamboo basket was thrown by Menghua, and the bones rolled down at Zheng Yuan's feet.

"It's really safe to eat and live for nothing! The kitchen will make apricot blossom cake tomorrow and pick the apricot blossoms! To bud, not to spread petals! Don't let it have no condensation! I want the honey that the bees have just picked and stained with honey! Menghua said and turned his head and left.

Zheng Yuan bent down to pick up the bamboo basket.

The apricot blossoms will be grateful, there are very few buds, and the dew has long been dry. Menghua didn't deliberately embarrass her? In the past, when she was in Xiangguofu, she and her sister picked together, and knew which ones were suitable for pastries and which were suitable for spices, so she walked under the apricot blossom tree to pick not long after, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her forehead. As soon as she lowered her head, she saw the central bay pool, and couldn't move her eyes for a while, the pool was covered with water and drifted, and the apricot blossoms covered with water were opened by the spring breeze, and the clear blue water reflected a pair of figures.

Zheng Yuan hurriedly squatted down, hiding behind the flourishing branches of the apricot tree, staring at the reflection in the water.

The duo is getting closer.

The woman Zheng Yuan was acquainted, her surname was Ruan Xiuyun, and the Ruan lady had been friends with her sister Zheng Shu, but she had been in the boudoir. Ruan's mother's father, Ruan Minghui, was an official worshipper of the household department, and he also had some secret friendship with her father before his death, but Ruan Minghui was a smart person who knew how to protect himself, he was not polite and did not form a party, so he was not implicated after her father's death.

Ruan Xiuyun's rouge-coated cheeks were even more rosy, she lured him to the silent pool, stood on tiptoe to kiss his face, but as soon as he grabbed his waist, Ruan Xiuyun stretched her neck and wanted to come up and kiss him again, but she couldn't get close because her waist was rejected by a force, and she reluctantly admonished her.

His slender fingers reached out to press her lips, and he whispered: "It's not a small guts, and it's not beautiful if your mouth is blurred." ”

Ruan Xiuyun's face was full of flying clouds, and she pouted: "I don't want to enter the palace to be a concubine." ”

"What's wrong with being a concubine," he said, "Isn't Ruan Shangshu looking forward to Yun Niang being a concubine?" If you get the grace of Your Majesty, your Ruan clan will be glorious. ”

Ruan Xiuyun said: "Your Majesty is uncertain, and the companion is like a tiger, I, I would rather be a concubine for Xiangye." ”

"Heh-" He laughed: "Yun Niang is the daughter of Lord Shangshu, she actually wants to be my concubine, I am not afraid of being laughed at when I say it, besides, isn't it a companion to me as a concubine?" ”

Ruan Xiuyun knew that the power was resisting her closeness, but the waist that was touched by him began to soften inch by inch, her body seemed to be ignited by a cluster of flames, a pair of eyes were shining, and the charm was infinite, she swept her gaze, swept to the clean embroidered handkerchief on his cuffs, and pulled it out while he was unprepared: "Huh? Xiangye confessed honestly, which lady did he provoke, and accepted her embroidered handkerchief and made love to her, alas? This embroidered is a double-"

"Bring it!" His face immediately became gloomy, and he said in a low voice.

"Xiangye is angry? It is estimated that it is Mrs. Wei's. Ruan Xiuyun sighed, put back the embroidered Paman who was stained with blood drops, and said: "Nowadays, who is waiting for the lady in the boudoir does not like Xiangye"

His gaze swept inadvertently, his eyebrows twisted, and he immediately let go and turned around and strode forward.

"Alas-" Ruan Xiuyun was so anxious to chase after her.

Unconsciously crushed the apricot blossoms under his hands. I've never seen that man look like that, and I've never heard that tone

When Ruan's lady was friendly with her sister in the past, she was virtuous and polite, and her face was very thin-skinned, and she was ashamed when she saw a man, but now she was like two people in the past, and the conversation between the two seemed to be old acquaintances who knew each other, and it was possible that she had known him since then

She finally understood why the Ruan lady in the past frequently came to the mansion to find her sister, since then he has begun to plot step by step, and set up Ruan Xiuyun's chess piece early, what does he want to do?

When the voice was gone, Zheng Yuan squatted for a long time before standing up, maybe she was in a little anxious, and her head was dizzy, so she had to hold the flowers and trees to stand up slowly, and the black fog in front of her disappeared, and when she saw it, she found that the apricot blossom basket in her hand had fallen to the ground at some point, and the picked flowers were scattered, and she squatted down again and reached out to pick up the bamboo basket.

A hand reached out to help her pick it up.
