Chapter 104: Red Apricot
July when hibiscus flowers bloom is also the time when lotus leaves are green. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a hand-dug lotus pond on the west side of the garden.
The eastern sky is still covered with fish belly white, and the mist is shrouded, which is the most suitable for collecting morning dew.
Sealed in a porcelain jar and buried underground, it can be used to make wine, make tea, and make secret flower dew.
"Miss, watch your step." Qiaoyun held the celadon jar and reminded behind Ruosu.
The pebbles that have fallen with the dew are exceptionally smooth, and if you are not careful, you will fall.
Ruo Su had just woken up, and her voice was still lightly sleepy, and she said, "That person is here?" ”
The sound is clear, and it is very noticeable in the wilderness in the early morning.
"I'm here, I said I'm waiting for you at the water pavilion." Qiao Yun said with a loud voice.
The master and servant exchanged glances, and then walked to the other side of the lotus pond.
Passing by a few winding paths, there are verdant green banana trees, and further ahead is a pavilion with a water pavilion, in the midst of water vapor, this scene is inevitably reminiscent of poetic and picturesque feelings.
"Dr. Tao is really a punctual person." When Ruosu turned sideways, he caught a glimpse of the maid hiding in the dark not far away, and said to Tao Zhiyao.
Because of the distance, Ruosu deliberately lowered her voice, and the maid became a different scene in her ears, as if she had received some encouragement, she hurriedly turned around and trotted in the direction of the Jade Pavilion.
Jade Pavilion.
Qiao Ruowan was worried and woke up early, and when the second-class maid went back to report, she was drinking candied oranges to make tea.
"I told you to stare at my cousin, what are you doing running back with all the fuss!" Qiao Ruowan said angrily, the eldest lady's temper has never been wiped out by the state of the world.
The second-class maid's name is Yuangui, because of her burly body, she ran all the way over, and she couldn't speak clearly: "Big.. Miss... Cousin girl, she...."
"What is she! You can make it clear! Qiao Ruowan has always had little patience with slaves, and she didn't even blink an eye when Wen Tianyou either sold or killed the people around her with a cane.
It seems that these people are destined to be like ants from birth.
Yuan Gui smoothed her breath and said with an excited look: "Cousin, she is here... Meet a man privately in the water pavilion in the lotus pond! ”
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Ruowan suddenly sat up straight, threw the gold-painted porcelain spoon in her hand into the bowl, and confirmed: "Really! You read that right! ”
Gui Yuan patted his strong chest and said firmly: "The slave and maid have indeed seen it clearly, it is true, that man is still a talent." She has a big temperament, and she was originally a rough girl, and she rarely had the opportunity to meet distant relatives of the Tao family, and she didn't recognize Tao Zhiyao at all.
Qiao Ruowan's eyes flashed a little wonderful, and she couldn't help but smile disdainfully: "Look at her like that, you know that it's not a good thing, and you know how old you are to 'steal incense and steal jade'!" It's a shame that my grandmother treats her like a heart, see how she ends!? ”
Just as Qiao Ruowan decided to go to Mo Yaju to report to Old Lady Qiao, she thought about it, in this way, Bai Ruosu's reputation could be completely ruined, but she herself was unprofitable.
"Let's go, come with me to Jingyuan." Qiao Ruowan squinted, her face still grim.
It's time to grab your grip now!
Qiao Ruowan was extremely pleased with her wisdom at the moment, if she hadn't let Yuan Gui secretly stare at the West Wing Courtyard, how could she have found a way to subdue Bai Ruosu so quickly?
Along the way, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that there was nothing she couldn't do in this backyard.
What she Qiao Ruowan wants to do, no one can stop it!
As soon as the man's mood improved, his pace became faster.
Less leaning, the water pavilion in the distance came into view, and at the same time, there was a man standing in front of the waterhole.
Looking at it from a distance, the man is wearing a robe and a scarf, and at first glance he looks like a gentle scholar, and the front must be pleasing to the eye.
But where is the shadow of Bai Ruosu?
Although Qiao Ruowan hesitated, she still took a few steps forward, and at this moment, the man suddenly turned around, and in an instant, Qiao Ruowan's excitement was completely extinguished.
"Wan'er, you?" When Tao Zhiyao turned around, he saw the beautiful woman again, and his heart was full of emotion. This man obviously lost him, but he still remembered it, and he missed it all day long.
Qiao Ruowan's footsteps were paused, and she couldn't even make her words clear: "You? How could it be you? ”
She suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she turned around and wanted to leave, but just as she took a step, Tao Zhiyao caught up: "Wan'er, I'm not here to disturb you, you listen to me speak clearly first." ”
He was tall and tall, and he caught up in a few steps, and was about to reach out to grab Qiao Ruowan's wrist, but he put it down again.
At that time, Qingmei and Zhuma, after several years, had already married each other.
All that is left is thoughts and sighs.
Where did Qiao Ruowan dare to stay, she couldn't wait to leave her etiquette and run back to her courtyard, but at this moment, a few people came up to her, so that she forgot how to lift her steps.
"Grandmother!" She panicked.
Mrs. Qiao was holding on to her crutches, supported by Mama Rong with one hand, and she looked calm at the moment with kind eyebrows and kind eyes!
"What do you say if you're in such a hurry?" The old lady glanced at Tao Zhiyao with a complicated gaze, Qiao Ruowan and him had said that they were close back then, but Qiao Ruowan chose Wen Tianyou and abandoned him.
Tao Zhiyao is also an outstanding person in the Tao clan, although he is not as good as Wen Tianyou's one-handed ability to manipulate the sky, his character is excellent.
"Sister Su invited Dr. Tao to come to the house to help my wife do morning exercises, what are you doing?" Old Lady Qiao said with a slight anger.
Before dawn, a woman who came out of the cabinet came to find her old friend without permission, and the discerning person also knew this ugly thing that was unspeakable in the open and in the dark.
Qiao Ruowan never thought that Tao Zhiyao would be invited by Qiao Wei's family.
She suddenly remembered that Tao Zhiyao is the best Taoist feminine boxing method, Taoist practice pays attention to chic and spacious, guided by the aura of heaven and earth, the best time and place for morning practice, isn't it here and now?
Could it be that she really made the wrong move this time?
"The eldest cousin also knows Dr. Tao?" Ruo Suxiao held the skirt in her hand and walked over leisurely, the bright red flowers on her double bun lined her skin with snow, and the girl's eyes were also smiling when she spoke.
Cunning and innocent!
Qiao Ruowan looked at everything in front of her, this scene was so weird and familiar, her face was pale, and the sultry heat of July could not stop the chill that she really felt all around.
Before she could speak, Old Lady Qiao said unhappily: "You don't go back quickly!" ”
Qiao Ruowan's stomach has not reacted so far, and she has gathered less with Wen Tianyou and separated more, so if she continues like this, she may end up with a big end. In this way, she can't have anything to do with the old love.
People's words are terrifying, and spitting stars can drown people.
Qiao Ruowan replied stiffly: "Granddaughter knows." She didn't look back, she just walked away.
Tao Zhiyao looked at her distant figure, and his heart was both reluctant and happy.
She would have come to see her!
It turns out that he is not the only one who can't give up!
"Grandmother, my eldest cousin is so strange, why did I see Dr. Tao nervous?" Ruo Su's smart eyes were flowing with microwaves, and he looked completely harmless.
"You're still young, there are some things you don't need to know!" Old Lady Qiao glared at Ruo Su dotingly, and then said hello to Tao Zhiyao.
Mrs. Qiao was served by Mama Rong, and practiced for a while by the water pavilion, and if she wanted to go to the Huichun Hall to study medicine, she went back to the West Wing Courtyard for breakfast first.
Walking to the corner of the garden, the red apricot blossoms drooped the branches, and the flower core also grew lovely red fruits.
Ruosu looked up at the sky at the beginning of the morning light, and smiled slightly: Qiao Ruowan, does it feel good to be wronged? You made me infamous that year, and I only paid back the tip of the iceberg today, and the past between you and me will be a long time coming!
During the return of the eldest daughter of the Qiao family to the province, the matter of going to the water pavilion to meet her old lover was spread in the private of the servants for a while.
Qiao's mansion has different opinions.
Someone murmured secretly: "No wonder the eldest lady lives in her mother's house all day long, she must be in the same bed with Lord Wen and has a different dream, it turns out that she is thinking of her old love and caring for the bamboo horse!" ”
The maid who was impressed by Wen Tianyou's transcendent demeanor said indignantly: "Where can the distant relatives of the Tao family compare to the son of Wen? The eldest lady actually learned to be a wave-swing-hoof-red-apricot-out of the wall! ”
--------
In a few years, Cao's side branches were completely erased from the rings of history.
Wen Tianyou checked the dossier in Dali Temple, there has always been an illusion behind the power, the emperor means to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, there will be no trouble, and the knuckles of his fingers holding the book are very prominent.
But he is also slender and fair-skinned, such a pair of hands are not like executioners who have stained countless creatures with blood, but like a master of flirting on the Fengyue field.
A man in plainclothes walked in, knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, my subordinates have set up eyeliner up and down Qiao's house according to your orders, and there has been no movement on the Eighth Prince's side." ”
The Qiao family is the backing of Concubine Shu and the Eighth Prince, and the Qiao family's big house also has a Chu family.
Chu Chen is the prince's teacher again!
Among them.... He had to admit that he still couldn't see through it for the time being.
Wen Tianyou's eagle eyes narrowed slightly, faintly overflowing with the unfathomable city.
"Hmmm! Got it! Remember, don't startle the snake! He commanded.
Although Wen Tianyou is the emperor's confidant, he is also unclear about the emperor's intentions, and the holy will is by no means so easy to guess.
"My lord, since the emperor has wiped out the Cao family, how can the Qiao family secretly monitor?" The plainclothes brocade guard was puzzled.
There are only two princes left around the emperor today, one is the crown prince, and the other is Zhu Hongye, and the emperor seems to value Zhu Hongye more on the surface.
Ke Wen Tianyou was very skeptical of this.
He put down his notebook and was silent for a while.
"My lord, there is one more thing, my subordinates don't know whether to say it or not!" Few people knew about the matter between Wen Tianyou and Qiao Ruowan, and his subordinates didn't dare to ask about the back house of the commander.
"Say!" Wen Tianyou wiped his embroidered spring knife against the candle flame, his expression was indifferent, and the cold light reflected on the ice chips lined his handsome face like a thousand-year-old ice sculpture.
Who knows, he has also laughed loudly, and he has also been around his fingers in the Hundred Steel City.
"The girl of the Bai family framed her wife and ......" how Ruosu, the plainclothes and brocade guard, used tricks to slander Qiao Ruowan's reputation, and reported it one by one, saying in her heart that this girl from the Bai family is really tired, and she hasn't learned a lesson from the last time, and this time she indirectly let the commander wear such a conspicuous green hat. She's really tired of the rest of her life! So come and beg for death?
But contrary to the expectations of the plainclothes brocade guard, Wen Tianyou's reaction was extremely bland, and even there was a faint smile on the side face of Na Yingting.
He laughed.
He didn't even notice it.
The girl praised him for how handsome he was last time, and even if she sowed discord, she still thought of ways to try to destroy Qiao Ruowan.
What is the purpose of all this?
Like yourself?
Wen Tianyou sneered again, there are many people who like him, how can he care about anyone! The gloom of Zhuan Er's eyes came to his eyes again.
He would never like anyone else but the man.
No one will! (To be continued.) )
