In June, Taihu Lake enters the wet season, several egrets fly through the wetland grass of Houhu Lake, skimming the surface of the lake, and the layers of scales and waves rise with the wind, accompanied by the jumping sun, bringing pieces of vitality to the lonely world

Heaven and earth, thousands of blue waves.

Not far away, among the lush green trees, villas with white walls and black tiles are faintly visible, a few light boats and fishing boats and large and small islands, which are densely dotted on the surface of the lake, and the green trees, blue mountains and blue sky are reflected in the water.

On a sunny morning, the warm sun shines on a delicate villa by the lake, and there is a small courtyard behind the house, which is close to the lakeside and covered by eaves, forming a unique shelter for enjoying the cool and wind.

On the shore of Taihu Lake, under the eaves, Chen Mingyuan is half-lying on a long rattan chair, overlooking the rich and beautiful lakes and mountains, and can't help but be infected by its scenery and lake.

After agreeing to play together last night, Chen Mingyuan specially stayed in Sioux City for an extra day, anyway, there was still room for the holiday.

The turmoil and changes during this period of time made him a little tired, it was rare to come to Sioux City, it was better to relax properly, and he could get together with Mu Jiayin again, he really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

He understands that every time he is with Mu Jiayin, he can experience the atmosphere of quiet, peace and joy in the years, and talk to her, with no worries and indescribable freehand.

As for Ye Qingxue, she was obviously more interested in making money and making profits than playing in the mountains and rivers, and she said goodbye and left early the next morning, but when she left, Meiyu seemed to be preoccupied, and her gaze at Chen Mingyuan also revealed an indescribable strangeness.

Shaking the glass, after the leaf stalk of Biluochun slowly fell, Chen Mingyuan took a shallow sip, and quickly filled his mouth with the moist fragrance, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's easy to live for half a day, the blue water and clouds are light, since ancient times, no wonder there are so many literati and tourists lingering here, and it has also attracted the Qianlong Emperor to visit six times, and it is indeed worthy of the name of 'Taihu Lake World Show'." ”

He looked around at this quiet and elegant courtyard again, and said with a smile: "But your vision is really unique, you chose such a good place, and you came here to rest and fish in your spare time, and you really have the artistic conception of idle clouds and wild cranes." ”

Mu Jiayin is lying on the rattan chair lazily, squinting her beautiful eyes, letting the breeze and warm sun fall on her slender body, extraordinarily leisurely and comfortable, the light blue lake-colored dress on her body is gently swaying in the wind, curling Tingting, rich and beautiful, like a fairy standing in Lingbo Yuli, there is an indescribable sense of charm and beauty, the skirt reaches the knee and stops, not short nor long, revealing the slender calf, the curve is exquisite, the complexion is crystal clear, beautiful and beautiful.

Hearing this, Mu Jiayin showed her white silver teeth, and said slowly: "In this era, if you want to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes, you also have to pay a price, don't look at this courtyard is so small, it took me a lot of money and a lot of effort to expand, and I had several dealings with those officials in the city before I reluctantly approved it." ”

Chen Mingyuan knew that with the deep-rooted position of the Mu family in Suzhou City, Mu Jiayin wanted to approve a piece of land, and it only took a few words, but he joked: "This is not quite in line with your style, when you rented a house in Jianqiantang, you were reluctant to rent a dollar more expensive, but on your own land, you are willing to spend a lot of money every year to support this property that can't come a few times a year." ”

Mu Jiayin half-opened her eyes and smiled casually: "It can only be said that your realm of being an official is too low, you have to understand that some fun cannot be measured by money." ”

At this time, her fishing rod moved, Chen Mingyuan squinted his eyes, and quipped: "Just like you, Jiang Taigong's fishing handle?" ”

Saying that Mu Jiayin is fishing, it is better to say that she is better at feeding the fish, she did not use a fish hook at all, but just tied the bait to the line and let the fish in the lake take it away.

But Mu Jiayin is undoubtedly happy, and she never gets tired of it.

No, Mu Jiayin lifted the fishing rod and slowly turned the spool, and sure enough, at the end of the special nylon fishing line of the high-grade fishing rod, the bait was gone.

Seeing Mu Jiayin flick the fishing rod and tie the bait to the line with great interest, Chen Mingyuan smiled: "It's like a child." ”

"Why don't you say that you don't have any taste for life!"

Mu Jiayin glared at him angrily, adjusting the position of the fishing rod, the pair of clear and endless eyes contained an indescribable calm and far-reaching, and suddenly said a headless sentence: "You probably didn't notice it, now you, compared to the first time I saw you in the bamboo forest, there is a lot more anger on your body, these anger, in fact, are accumulated by your continuous fighting in the officialdom in the past two years, usually there are no signs of it, but occasionally some major events happen, Emotions tend to become agitated and gloomy, and over time, demonic obstacles arise. ”

Chen Mingyuan was stunned, this plain sentence was almost like lightning and thunder, which made him suddenly feel a burst of horror and chill.

To be honest, if it weren't for Mu Jiayin's seemingly unintentional reminder, even he wouldn't have noticed it, after more than two years of experience in the provincial party committee compound, in addition to the strengthening of his will and heart, his temperament is also changing unconsciously, although most of the time, he can do Mount Tai collapse in front of him without changing his face, but in this treacherous Vanity Fair, he has to be cautious in his words and deeds, tense his nerves, and beware of possible surroundings and traps that may occur at any time, suspicion and deepening!

And when he was a fledgling, he was almost the opposite of him!

When he was speechless, Mu Jiayin took a sip of tea and said slowly: "The soldiers on the battlefield, if they have been battered by war all the year round, they will more or less suffer from mental illness, the more blood on their hands, the more murderous they will become, if one is not careful, there will be a problem in his heart, either he will become a cold-blooded person, or he will become depressed and murderous, and there are countless people who are the most insane, and it is often said that officialdom is like a battlefield, compared to the real gun war, the officialdom is full of dangers, and it is not another kind of torment. And the higher the level, the greater the psychological burden.

"The world always says that those politicians will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals, in fact, many of them are good ministers and officials who ask for their lives for the people and do their best at the beginning, but as they go through countless struggles and games, they gradually jump to a high position, they will inadvertently lose their nature, and from time to time they have to endure and compromise, tend to be inflammatory, and the root of the disease is held out in this way, up to Qu Lao, He Xiangdong, the leaders of these countries, down to Ning Lizhong, Ji Mingtang's feudal ministers, in the process of their ascension, I don't know how many of my subordinates' defeated bodies have stepped on to get to where they are today, can you guarantee that they don't have any psychological problems? ”

If someone else dares to slander these high-ranking officials and magnates like this, they are either arrogant or have a problem with their brains, but under Mu Jiayin's narration, they interpret a quiet and sharp opinion.

After a pause, Mu Jiayin glanced at Chen Mingyuan, his eyes were full of worry, but it was fleeting, and he said calmly: "When we met for the first time, I saw that you became Ning Lizhong's secretary at a young age, and I was surprised to be surprised, but through later understanding, I also knew that it was Ning Lizhong who brought you up with the intention of cherishing talents, and at the same time, your family also hopes that you can integrate into the circle of lineage officials as soon as possible through the tempering of this pool of deep water. But I haven't put myself in your shoes, blindly imposed the responsibility on you, and eagerly expected you to make progress as soon as possible. ”

"Of course, many children of the family will be arranged by the family to enter the deep-water yamen at the beginning, and then go out to the grassroots level step by step, but the deep-water yamen where they are located is mostly covered by the family energy, the environment is relaxed and harmonious, and no one is idle to give them a trick, and you are different, from the TV station staff to the core of the provincial party committee, the gap is big enough, Ning Lizhong, an outsider, has to constantly resist the offensive of Ji Mingtang's local factions, of course, he is already familiar with these political struggles, but take you a new officialdom with you, say that the good thing is to carry the cultivation, to say the worst, it is clearly to pull you into the furnace, even if you can be safe and sound, the heart disease must have fallen, you were still working hard to maintain him in front of Qu Lao, but you didn't listen to my advice, I really don't know what to do! ”

Obviously, Mu Jiayin's prejudice against Ning Lizhong has not been eliminated so far.

Seeing that she lost her temper as she spoke, with a look of resentment and disgust, Chen Mingyuan touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "How do you listen to this, you seem to be more nervous about my future than my family?" ”

Mu Jiayin's beauty was dyed with two bright reds, and he turned his head and raised his face and said: "Whether you are dead or alive, I don't bother to care, purely because your temperament is not bad, and you have helped me a few times, I can't bear to see you being cheated, so I kindly reminded you a few words, as for whether you listen or not, it's your own business!" ”

Chen Mingyuan looked at her peach-like face, his heart couldn't help but waver, under the background of the breeze and warm sun, his heart was also filled with tranquility and warmth, and he smiled sincerely: "How can I not tell the difference between good and bad, I know that everything you do for me is for my good." ”

Mu Jiayin's eyelashes fluttered a few times, the red in her jade cheeks became more and more intense, and the green silk of her sideburns fluttered gently with the wind, occasionally covering a few inches of snow skin, glowing with a shy and charming appearance, lowering her eyes, and murmuring like a mosquito: "Do you really think so?" ”

Chen Mingyuan looked at the picturesque landscape of the fairy, didn't pay attention to the girlish charm she revealed in an instant, and chuckled: "You specially took me out to relax, and often invited me to drink tea, drink, chat and play chess, don't you just hope that relying on the treasures left by these ancestors, let me calm down and nourish my qi, and eliminate some of the obstacles in my heart, as for releasing these fish, I also want to occasionally experience the meaning of being wide and open-minded, right?" ”

Mu Jiayin stared at him without blinking, and the corners of her moist lips couldn't help but raise a wonderful arc, with half joy and half relief, and said happily: "Finally, you still have a little conscience......

Unconsciously, at the end of the day, Chen Mingyuan glanced at the empty bucket, and said with a big smile: "The two of us are rare people with a conscience, but this price can't be exchanged for hunger, right?" ”

Mu Jiayin was angry and funny, and said with a bluster on her face: "Don't worry, I'm a good person to the end, help you wash your soul, and naturally I won't treat your five internal organs temple badly!" ”

Immediately, she got up suddenly, walked to the wooden fence, stood in the pavilion, looked at the wind, I don't know where to take out a whistle, put it on the lip flap to play a crisp and pleasant sound, and at the same time raised her lotus arm and waved it into the distance, not long after, a small fishing boat slowly leaned over, and a black and strong middle-aged fisherman greeted loudly: "Sister Mu Xiaoxian, I haven't seen you here for a long time, what's the matter, do you want to take some fresh goods?" ”

The Mu family was obviously a little familiar with this person, and straightened the hair that was messy by the wind, and said with a smile: "I have a friend here today, pick up some fresh ones for me, I'll entertain you." ”

"Okay! It's all freshly caught in the net, and it's fresh, so I'll pick a few of them for you, wait a minute. ”

The fisherman flicked his sleeves and immediately bent down to pick seafood, and at first glance, there were piles of white shrimp, crucian carp and hairy crabs lying in the nets, some of which were still struggling and jumping.

The fisherman was very enthusiastic, and tried his best to pick out some fat and tender, and after a short time, he filled a large bucket of water, ran ashore, and handed it to Mu Jiayin through the fence, but he was unwilling to accept her money.

The fisherman waved his hand again and again, and said resolutely: "This is really unacceptable, most of us who can fish here safely and make a living, most of them have been taken care of by you, and these fish and crabs deserve a little reward for you." ”

"It's all from the neighborhood, helping you set up a fishing ground here to intercede is just a gesture, let you take it, if you want to do it again, I will want your things again in the future!"

Mu Jiayin had a tone that could not be ignored, and the fisherman did not dare to be disobedient, so he had to accept the money embarrassedly, and he thanked him sincerely.

Mu Jiayin said goodbye to the fisherman, then kicked the bucket where the fish and shrimp were jumping, and said, "Hey, let's do it, be conscious." ”

Chen Mingyuan smiled bitterly, lifted the heavy bucket, and followed her into the house.

There is a small kitchen in the house, and apparently Mu Jiayin occasionally cooks some fresh dishes here, holding a set of aprons and long hair, and holding the dishes)), spoons and cooking lunch skillfully.

Chen Mingyuan was in charge of laying down his hands, just picked up a live crucian carp, threw it on the board, blinked an eye, the rice was washed into the pot, and the green onions, ginger, and garlic were peeled, flattened, and shredded for later use.

Chen Mingyuan blinked his eyes a few more times, and the crucian carp had been removed from its gills, scaled, cleaned, and put into an open plate.

Immediately, Mu Jiayin poured the condiments on the fish that had cut a few oblique mouths, pushed the plate to the side, and copied it again) 9, to clean up the shrimp, the light movement of the jade arm, the posture of the hand, just like a calligraphy everyone is splashing ink, the book is as freehand as a wonderful word, especially pleasing to the eye.

When the aroma of rice came to her nose, she put the fresh fish in the steamer, copied it, and covered the fish with a handful of shredded ginger and green onions, and after a while, the fresh aroma of the fish escaped from the edge of the pot with the steam flow, which was mouth-watering

As the saying goes, beauty is delicious, at this moment, let the air be filled with the aroma of food, Chen Mingyuan only cares about admiring her busy posture, and his mind can't help but melt into the blue lake and blue sky in front of him, which is peaceful, and there is no more frightening every step when he wanders in the secular officialdom!

At this moment, Chen Mingyuan remembered the several encounters between the two in Lishan Bamboo Forest, Xitang Ancient Town and the Qinhuai River.

It's just that such a wonderful fantasy may come true?

"What are you looking at? Do I have oily stains on my face? ”

Mu Jiayin was temporarily free, raised Haojie's soft wrist, and gently wiped the sweat between her cheeks.

Chen Mingyuan shook his head, temporarily suppressed the throbbing in his heart, hesitated, and said, "Yesterday...... Is the incident that your second brother mentioned to you true? ”

Mu Jiayin's movements froze, and the melon seed face was a little uncomfortable, wiped his hands as if he was disguised, looked ahead, and said casually: "You mean Kou Beiyan?" ”

Chen Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "What do you mean to him?" ”

"What do you mean?" Mu Jiayin snorted lightly, and suddenly a narrow smile appeared, and said generously: "Don't you just want to ask me if I like him, beating around the bush!" ”

Seeing that he acquiesced, Mu Jiayin's face changed as if his face changed, he pressed the lid of the pot, and said unhappily: "You are quite wide, my brother and they forced him to ask, forget it, it is difficult to come out to relax, which pot do you want not to open!"

Chen Mingyuan was speechless for a while, but he felt that this woman's temperament was the same as the weather in early spring.

Mu Jiayin looked at him fixedly, a little brilliance flashed in his watery and clear eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of expectation, and he said crisply: "Let me ask you, what position are you taking care of my life's affairs?" ”

"If it's from the position of a friend, forget it, let alone Shang Wenbin and Qingxue, even if it's Qu Lao, I'm afraid I won't be qualified to care about my things."

At this moment, Mu Jiayin is like a gambling daughter in the market, quite serious, raising a solemn and delicate jade face, and said word by word: "Besides, we have been friends for so long, I have never asked about your feelings, right?" ”

Chen Mingyuan froze suddenly, yes, after getting along for so long, Mu Jiayin never mentioned her emotional problems, thinking about it, she also knew that these things were something she didn't want to mention, so she deliberately took care of her emotions.

She is so understanding, and it is really a bit out of place for herself to suddenly bring it up again when she is worrying about these things.

With a sigh, Chen Mingyuan said apologetically: "I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to see you unhappy because of this." ”

"I'm not happy, you care?"

Mu Jiayin smiled clearly, like a warm spring breeze, and continued to get to the bottom of it: "Then let me ask you, if the two of us don't get along with each other from now on, and then, I accept the family's arrangement and marry a wife, in that case, will you accept it?" ”

"No way!"

Chen Mingyuan replied without thinking, and he didn't dare to imagine the scene of Mu Jiayin saying goodbye to himself and marrying someone else.

Mu Jiayin looked at him with an expected expression, looking at him with a smile, a few wisps of shame in her face, carrying her hands behind her back, lowering her eyebrows slightly, pursing her pink lips and saying, "Then do you want to understand what position you take to manage my affairs now?" ”
