After entering Luling City, it was dusk when I arrived at the Lingering Garden.

Outside the garden is quiet and cold, since His Royal Highness Duan Wang left the Luling, the steward in the garden will close the door to thank the guests, and others will not dare to disturb again, and now the time of January has passed, and the initial state of the courtyard has been restored. However, the green shade outside the courtyard wall and the birds and birds come and go, which brings out a quiet interest.

His Royal Highness King Duan did not make a noise when he returned to the city, but just got into the carriage and sat with Shen Yu, and when the carriage turned into the gate of the Lingering Garden, the steward was already waiting at the door, welcoming everyone in.

Shen Yu sat on her small shoulder and looked at the scenery in the courtyard.

Before the Lingering Garden was abandoned, Shen Yu had also been here once or twice, when she was only five or six years old, but she was extremely impressed by the arrangement of the step by step scene in this garden.

After all, Xu Yan was in a hurry when he repaired the Lingering Garden this time, although there were also skilled craftsmen who took action, but he only restored the scene at that time. Even so, the scenery in this garden is also indispensable, carved windows and small walls, hanging flower arches, rockery shade, commonplace things, but can always divide a different world.

Shen Yu sighed all the way, and when she arrived at the small courtyard arranged for her by Xu Yan, she saw that the house was neat and clean, and even the items she used to apply plasters were ready.

From the time the two agreed to stay in the park for a while, it was only an hour or two, plus the time for the secret guard to deliver the letter...... These people are really fast!

Shen Yu's spirit was lifted, because after entering the city, she was tempted by the aroma of various foods from time to time, and she felt a little hungry at this time. Thinking that Xu Yan would be discussing in the study at this time, he couldn't get out of his body for a while, so he called the little maid in the house, "Is there anything to eat?" ”

"The kitchen is preparing dinner, there are Wufangzhai's dim sum and newly bought bad duck paws, do you want to put on the mat first?"

"Then there will be labor." Shen Yu smiled. Wufangzhai is the best dim sum shop in Luling City, and it really makes her miss it for a long time.

The maid bent her knees and said "Girl is polite" and went out, and another little girl in the house brought a round table with high legs, put it in front of Shen Yu, and brought tea again.

Although Shen Yu said that she was "padding her stomach", she couldn't stop as soon as she started, she wiped out most of the two plates of delicate dim sum, and used some bad duck palms, and she was already full when she was satisfied. When it was time for dinner, she faced the table full of dishes, although the color and fragrance were attractive, but there was no empty space in her stomach, so she could only regret it.

Early the next morning, Xu Yan came over, with an old man behind him.

This old man Shen Yan had the impression that he was the one who was sitting in the carriage when Xu Yan first arrived in Luling, and she was originally curious about what this person was, but she asked Xu Yan to treat him so kindly, and when she saw the medicine box behind him, she vaguely understood.

According to Xu Yan, this Tong Lang was an old military doctor in Mobei, born in the Xinglin family, but he was determined to fight on the battlefield to protect his family and defend the country, but unfortunately he was cut off by the enemy and could not go into battle to kill the enemy, so he turned into a military doctor. From his twenties to his current age, he stayed in the Mobei Army and saved the lives of countless soldiers.

Now that he is old and homesick, Xu Yan took the opportunity of this book solicitation to bring him back, and he is also grateful for his kindness to the soldiers. It is said that Tong Lang is the best at healing injuries of muscles and bones, and even the old doctors in the capital are difficult to compare.

Shen Yu was flattered by this special encounter.

Xu Yan thought that she was entangled in something, and left after explaining a few words, and the remaining boy diagnosed her leg injury through her clothes, asked some things in detail, looked at the ointment used on the way, and lifted her beard and said: "The injury is not bad, according to the old man's method, within a month, you will be able to walk without harm." ”

"Really?" Shen Yu was overjoyed.

At the beginning of Chiayi, Na Langzhong said that it would take three or four months to be safe, which made her worry for several days, but now this time has been suddenly shortened, Shen Yu is naturally overjoyed, so she listened to Tong Langzhong's advice more and more respectfully, took medicine and ointment on time, and practiced around with crutches, but enjoyed the scenery of this lingering garden.

During the period, he sent Shi Nan to take a look at the situation on Zheng Xun's side, who knew that the pupils of Zheng Xun's family had already been driven out, the door of Zheng's house was locked, and Shi Nan couldn't find any news.

However, according to the neighbors, nothing seems to have happened to the Zheng family recently, and Shen Yu is barely relieved.

If seven or eight days passed, although Shen Yu stayed in the park, except for two nights when Xu Yan took the time to visit, he didn't see much of him. She was also happy and comfortable, and when she was in a good mood, she faintly felt that the leg injury was healing very quickly.

On this day, she still put on crutches, jumped to the garden to exercise, and when she was tired, she rested on the low couch in the pavilion.

Now in the summer season, it is a little hotter than in the middle of summer, one side of the pavilion is a bamboo curtain to block the wind, and the other three sides are transparent, surrounded by verandah flowers and trees. A small lotus leaf is spread in the porcelain bowl on the table, with cheese stacked on top and two fresh cherries on top, which is really a good product to cool off.

Shen Yu happily took a small spoon and ate it slowly, thinking that it would be good to read a book in this pavilion for a while, and she forgot to bring a fan when she came out, so she asked Shi Nan to go back and get it.

The hottest time in the afternoon is also the most sleepy, Shen Yan is lazy and napping, where can she hold it at this time, so she took a small pillow and put it up, just leaning on her squint for a while.

She was in a daze, and suddenly her mind woke up again, as if someone was staring at her. Shen Yu was too lazy to open her eyes, and felt strange in her heart, could it be that His Royal Highness Duan Wang had relapsed from his old illness and played a scary trick again? But the feeling was clear and different, faintly, Shen Yu even felt that the person gave her a little familiar.

Intuition is the most elusive, Shen Yu was surprised, suddenly opened her eyes and looked up, just to see a figure.

The man stood behind a low wall, with only his upper body exposed, and at first glance he felt like a green pine standing tall and steep. His face was covered with a thin gold mask, although he couldn't see his face clearly, but the distance between the two was only two feet, and Shen Fei's ghost made him look at him.

What does that feel like? Shen Yan couldn't say clearly, but when she wanted to explore, the person also reacted between the lightning and flint, and suddenly retreated, like flying.

Shen Yan was still staring at it, a little shocked and a little confused in her heart.

Until Shi Nan took his things and rushed back, Shen Yan still maintained the first posture, staring at the low wall in a daze. Shi Nan felt strange and stepped forward and asked, "What do you look at, girl?" ”

Shen Yan didn't react, and Shi Nan was even more puzzled, and when she looked at her, she only saw a low wall hedge. But Shen Yan's straight eyes fell there, and her face was dazed, Shi Nan had long heard that this garden was evil, and at this time, she was only stunned by Shen Yan's eyes, and she couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly patted her shoulder and called: "Girl, girl, wake up!" ”

"Huh?" Shen Yu finally came back to her senses, looked at Shi Nan, and looked at her at a loss.

Shi Nan patted her chest and muttered, "I'm scared to death the slave." There aren't many people in this garden, so don't sleep here, girl. ”

- lest you encounter evil spirits.

Shen Yu didn't know what Shi Nan was referring to, but said, "It's okay." Something fetched? ”

Shi Nan took the book and asked uneasily, "Girl, why don't we go back to the house?" ”

"It's here, it's windy and refreshing." Shen Yu pulled the pillow and leaned on it, but after turning two pages of the book, she was still unsettled. The scene just now seemed to be firmly engraved, that tall figure, that complicated gaze, and the thin gold mask used to hide the face.

Could that person be the same person who looked at her in the inn? Who is he?

There are a lot of secret guards around His Royal Highness King Duan, and it is not too unusual to meet such a masked person in the Lingering Garden, but that person, why did he stare at himself? And her intuition told her that the man didn't mean to hurt her.

Shen Yu couldn't figure it out, and she could only hide her doubts.

However, her leg was so good that when she asked Tong Lang for a diagnosis on June 20, the old gentleman smiled and said: "In less than seven or eight days, you can walk slowly, but you can't be anxious, step by step every day, and you will be fine by the middle of July." ”

Shen Yu was overjoyed when she heard it.

She has been living in the Lingering Garden for more than ten days, and it is only an alley away from Shen Mansion here, and she is told to hide in the garden every day and not go out or go home, which is a little boring after all. How can you not be happy when you think that you will be able to go home in seven or eight days?

When Xu Yan came to see her that day, she saw Shen Yan sitting under the eaves happily, teasing a little red fox.

Shen Yu didn't know where the red fox came from, but every time she woke up from a nap these days, she could always see the red fox crawling through the courtyard wall when she was enjoying the cool under the eaves. The little fox's body is no longer small, and it is very neat in its movements, and it is not afraid of people at all, Shen Yu teased it twice, and it gradually became familiar with it.

The little red fox also seems to be destined for her, and at first he didn't dare to be too close, but now he can lie in her arms and be coquettish.

Xu Yan stood outside the courtyard and looked at it for a moment, couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips, and stepped forward and said, "Like this fox?" ”

Shen Yan's eyes were shining, she confessed, and asked again: "Is this raised by the prince's mansion?" ”

"It was rescued by Gu An, and it's a pity that no one here raises it."

The longer Shen Yan and Xu Yan got along, the less vigilant and fearful she became, so she climbed up the pole at this time, and said with a smile: "Since there is no one to take care of it, why don't you hand it over to me?" Make sure it's taken care of. She had a bright smile on her face, and she was even more delicate when she was lined with the red fox.

Xu Yan reached out for the first time to stroke the fox fur and said, "It's okay." ”

His eyes fell on the red fox, seeing her tender white nails embedded in the fox fur, Xu Yan's fingers roamed, wandering closer, and when he could almost touch her, he finally retracted his hand and asked instead, "Do you know Huo Zongyuan?" ”
