Chapter 21: A Chance Encounter in the Bamboo Forest

"Mother, I've tried my best to be patient, but patience doesn't mean that anyone can climb on my head to bully me and bully the people around me, anyway, I have a bad reputation, how bad can this one be?

But if this kind of thing is endured for the first time, there will be a second time, and there will be countless times in the future, so many people in Jiangzhou, if everyone is bullied, how will our family live? ”

Song looked at Linglong and couldn't speak for a while, the third aunt looked left and right, and said: "Madam, there is some truth in the words of the second miss, anyway, the second miss is already engaged, not afraid of these people chewing the root of the tongue, the hour is not early, there is still half of the ladder, let's climb slowly, right?" ”

The group finally climbed to the top of the mountain, the mother Song and the third aunt worship the Buddha is particularly pious, from the main entrance to the side of the apse of the nave, inside and outside I don't know how many Bodhisattvas, they each worship, as soon as they encounter the merit box, donate money reads;.

Linglong was really impatient, and he didn't want to leave when he walked to the middle hall, just when Lingxia said that he wanted to go to the thatched house, Linglong used the excuse of accompanying his sister to get out

found the thatched house, Lingxia didn't go again, and took Linglong's hand: "Second sister, let's go around, right?" ”

"Forget it, don't run around in the Buddhist gate."

"Woo~~~~ I finally climbed up, it's not fun at all."

Linglong thought for a while: "I remember that there is a large bamboo forest on the side of the temple, and there is a small courtyard behind the bamboo forest, how about we go there and have a look?" ”

"Okay, okay, as long as you don't get bored here."

So, Linglong sent Zhishu to inform his mother and third aunt, and he took Lingxia and the little girl's bosom friend out of the temple and went to the bamboo forest. This bamboo forest is indeed quite large, and there is a bluestone paved path between the forests, which stretches forward in a zigzag way until a small courtyard looms in the depths of the bamboo forest.

"Hey, piano! Second sister, someone is playing the piano, let's go and see! Lingxia dragged Linglong to the front of the yard at a trot, and when they got closer, they found that the entire courtyard was built by Nanzhu, and the yard was not small.

Entering a small pond, a small bamboo bridge on the pond used to be a clearing, near the edge of the pond are a few peach blossom trees, under which a man in white is lowering his eyes and stroking the piano.

The man half-bowed his head, a strand of hair falling from the corner of his forehead hanging on the tip of his brow, swaying slightly with his movements, sometimes sticking to his smooth and fair cheeks, sometimes flying behind his ears to reveal the delicate and perfect curves of his face.

"Wow! This person is so pretty! Lingxia leaned on the fence and exclaimed, as soon as her voice fell, the sound of the piano also stopped abruptly.

"Where did the thief dare to peek at this son! Don't show up yet. ”

Linglong covered Lingxia's mouth and squatted under the fence, Lingxia struggled hard, Linglong made a silent gesture, and whispered: "This person is not easy to mess with at first glance, let's go quickly!" ”

Several people lay on the ground on all fours and climbed in the direction of the bamboo forest, but they were blocked by a pair of white leather boots in front of them.

They slowly looked up and saw that the person Lingxia jumped down suddenly: "Hey, aren't you in the yard?" ”

The man in white condescended and squinted at a few people: "It turned out to be three uninvited puppies!" ”

A few people paused, and Lingxia said, "Ah, why are you scolding when you are so beautiful?" Not deserved at all. ”

The man in white glared angrily: "I'm a man, don't say I'm beautiful, it's okay to say handsome." ”

Lingxia smiled and said, "Brother, you are so handsome." ”

The man in white was a little satisfied, saw that Linglong also stood up, and looked her up and down: "It's just that these two children pretend to be puppies, you are a big girl, don't wait at home to get married, what is it to come to peep at men?" ”

Linglong smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Childe, I just saw that the bamboo forest was beautiful and wanted to come over to take a look, I didn't think it would disturb Childe Yaxing, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let's go first." ”

"Stop!"

"What does Childe command?"

"You disturbed my son's Yaxing, and you have to compensate my son."

"Huh? How to pay? ”

The man in white thought for a while: "That's it, I'm new to Jiangzhou, I don't know where it's fun, you just tell me which places are fun, and then take me around." ”

Linglong's eyes immediately widened: "Childe, do you want me to take you around?" Are you sure? ”

"What, can't you?"

Linglong laughed dryly: "I'm willing, but I'm afraid that Gongzi won't dare." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

"My surname is Su, I am the second lady of the Su family, no one in Jiangzhou City does not know me, and no one will want to go to the street with me, except for my two maids, of course they are forced to do so."

"Oh? Are you still a celebrity? The man in white looked at Linglong again.

"Celebrities?" Linglong smiled bitterly:

"Sort of! Childe, my mother and aunt are still waiting for us at the gate of the temple, I won't talk to you anymore, as for the fun places in Jiangzhou, you give some silver, and some people will take you there. Lingxia, gone. ”

Linglong pulled Lingxia to walk in front of the white-clothed man, and walked into the bamboo forest without looking back, but Lingxia turned around and smiled and shouted to him: "Big brother, you are so handsome, very good-looking!" ”

The man in white stood in place, he was surprised that the woman had changed so much before and after, she was a celebrity? Could it be a famous prostitute in Jiangzhou? I haven't heard of it, not to mention that she doesn't look like she is dressed like it, she has nothing to do left and right, and she doesn't go down the mountain to look around.

Linglong and the others came out of the bamboo forest and waited for a while, only to see their mother and third aunt come out, and the two of them went out of the temple gate, and they had to worship inside.

The group went down the mountain together, the skirt was too long, and it was harder to go down the mountain than to go up the mountain, Lingxia directly raised the skirt high, but was reprimanded by the third aunt, and several people had to support each other and slowly descend the mountain step by step.

"Linglong, where did you just go? Can you cause trouble? ”

"Madam, auntie, we met a big brother who is so good-looking, and he wants us to take him to play!"

Mrs. Song stopped and said seriously: "Linglong, you are engaged now, you must not do anything out of the ordinary again, it is best not to talk to strange men, so as not to give birth to right and wrong again, you know?" ”

Linglong smiled awkwardly, saying that he knew, but in his heart, he slandered: No, just say a few words, what does it matter?

It was already evening when the group returned to the house, and they had just entered the door, and Master Su also came back.

Master Su seemed to be in a good mood today, and asked a few people about the trip with a smile, and then said to the Song family: "Madam, I heard that the third prince came to Jiangzhou a few days ago. ”

"The Third Prince? What did he do in Jiangzhou? ”

"I heard that the emperor sent him to inspect the government affairs of Jiangzhou to understand the people's situation, I think most of them are aimed at the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion."

"Huh? What happened to the Dingguo Marquis Mansion? ”

"Last year, Haizhou paid tribute to a colorful dragon ball, and it disappeared near Jiangzhou, some people suspect that the Dingguo Marquis Mansion did something, but there has been no evidence, I think the three princes are mostly here for this matter."
