After the Xia Yuan, there was a day of recess, which was given to the officials to rest.

At the beginning of this day, she was learning flower arrangement with Ying Ruolan in the courtyard, and a greeting post was handed in, which really surprised her, and it was indeed clearly written on the name of Jiankang Hou Shizi Shishi Anyang Xu Shiheng.

"Yue'er, what is this?" Ying Ruolan was also taken aback, looked at the beginning of the month and asked.

Putting the greeting post in his arms, he said calmly at the beginning of the month: "Xu Yushi and I are colleagues, and we are on an errand in the same place, so I probably have official business to talk to me." ”

Ying Ruolan didn't doubt him, so she nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then you better go first." ”

"Oh, okay." got permission, and left the backyard with Xiao Xiao and Qingdai at the beginning of the month.

But he didn't rush to the front hall, but turned into the east wing, and said as soon as he entered the room: "Qingdai, help me find out where my blue skirt is, and this hair ornament, do you say it's better to replace it with that jade hairpin, or a glass hairpin?" ”

Xiao Xiao and Qing Dai couldn't help laughing out loud when they saw her like this.

"What's wrong?" The beginning of the month looked back at the two of them suspiciously, but what was wrong with what he just said?

"No, nothing." Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Miss was so calm in the yard just now, we thought Miss really didn't care." ”

Yue Yi was stunned, lowered his eyes and said: "I definitely can't see people like this, don't you go back to the house to change your clothes and then go, doesn't it seem particularly rude?" ”

"Hey, yes, yes, let's hurry up and change your clothes, it's even worse to let Xu Gongzi wait for a long time." Qing Dai also laughed as she went to get her skirt.

The two of them moved quickly, and the beginning of the month was cleaned up in a matter of moments. When he arrived at the flower hall at the beginning of the month, Xu Shiheng was sitting in the guest seat drinking tea. Seeing the beginning of the month, he fell up and bowed.

"Xu Gongzi." After some hesitation, she finally decided to change her title. "I've been waiting."

"No, I'm still worried about the sudden visit, Miss Hang will feel too abrupt." Xu Shiheng said softly, "Lord Hang is not in the mansion today?" ”

"My dad went to the suburbs with his friends early in the morning to enjoy the autumn feast." The beginning of the month explained: "Xu Gongzi is looking for his father, but there is something wrong? ”

Xu Shiheng shook his head and smiled lightly: "I asked casually, I came to the house today, I wanted to invite Miss Hang to enjoy the flowers." Seeing that the beginning of the month was confused, he continued: "The chrysanthemums of Qiuyue Garden are blooming, which can be regarded as a scene in this Anyang City. ”

Such a sudden invitation to enjoy the flowers, the beginning of the month was also stunned, but I quickly nodded and agreed.

Out of the house, I saw a horse beside me, and at the beginning of the month, I couldn't help but light up, this is to ride a horse? But soon she was a little disappointed, because the horse was not for her to ride.

"Miss Hang doesn't have to worry, I've already ordered someone to rent a carriage here." Xu Shiheng stepped forward and said intimately.

Most of the women in the Chu Dynasty didn't know how to ride horses, so Xu Shiheng naturally thought she was worried about the carriage. At the beginning of the month, he smiled awkwardly after hearing this, "Thank you Xu Gongzi." ”

The young lady of an ordinary official family can't ride a horse, and her riding skills were also learned from the students when she was in the academy, and now she has become Miss Hangfu, so naturally she can't say that she can ride. Besides, Qingdai is beside her, even if she can ride, she has to consider how the maids around her will follow.

The four of them stopped at the door for a while, and sure enough, a small servant came with a carriage. After the beginning of the month and Qingdai Xiaoxiao sat down, they went to the Autumn Moon Garden outside the city.

Qiuyueyuan is an industry under the name of Emperor Ming's aunt and the eldest princess of Taiming. All kinds of chrysanthemums are planted everywhere in the garden, there are many precious varieties, every year in the golden autumn and October, the chrysanthemums in the garden compete to bloom, the flowers are clustered, and the competition is beautiful. Princess Taiming will also open the flower garden for people to visit and enjoy.

When they arrived at Qiuyue Garden, Xiao Xiao suddenly said: "Miss and Xu Gongzi will go into the garden and stroll, and Sister Qingdai and I will wait in the back." At the beginning of the month, he suddenly froze and looked at her. Xiao Xiao looked at the moon with a smile and said, "Miss, with Xu Gongzi as a companion, you shouldn't blame me and Qingdai for being lazy, right?" Knowing her little caution, Yue Yue smiled helplessly and went in with Xu Shiheng.

As soon as you enter the garden, you can see a huge phoenix chrysanthemum standing in it. The leaves are stiff, and the golden petals are slender, like a waterfall splashing, which amazes everyone. Not to mention the pink, yellow, purple and white of the garden, I was stunned for a while at the beginning of the month.

"What does Miss Hang think of the scenery in this garden?" Xu Shiheng on the side smiled and said.

"It's beautiful." The beginning of the month exclaimed: "I used to only read the green hibiscus and black chrysanthemum in books, and I have been wondering what the green and black chrysanthemums are, but I didn't expect to see them here today, it is really strange and extraordinary." ”

"There is also a garden in front of me planted with wild red chrysanthemums, the flowers are small and flourishing, and one piece looks beautiful." Xu Shiheng introduced politely while leading the beginning of the month.

When he arrived at the Wild Chrysanthemum Garden, as he said, the garden was full of small wild chrysanthemums, and there was only one path running through the garden. Pink flowers adorn the ground like stars, full of wild fun.

"I like this place more than anywhere else." At the beginning of the month, my eyes lit up and I was pleasantly surprised.

Xu Shiheng's eyes flashed imperceptibly, and then turned to the moon and smiled, "Since you like it, come in and have a look." As he spoke, he walked in, and at the beginning of the month, he also entered the small garden. The two walked a few steps in the trail before they came to the end. On the other side of the trail is a door, lightly hidden.

"At the end of the day, it's time for us to go back." Although the small garden is beautiful, it is not big in the end, and there are some regrets at the beginning of the month.

"Miss Hang, wait." Xu Shiheng suddenly spoke, his voice was slightly cold.

At the beginning of the month, he looked at him with a puzzled expression.

I saw Xu Shiheng stretch out his hand and gently push the door open, "Young Master Xu? At the beginning of the month, he frowned slightly, in the end, it was someone else's garden, and it was still a little inappropriate to venture like this.

Xu Shiheng walked in as if he hadn't heard it, turned around and said to the beginning of the month: "It's okay, Miss Hang should come in too." At the beginning of the month, he hesitated, but he still followed, and when he passed the door, he found that the two of them had actually arrived outside the garden. It turned out that the door was the back door of the Autumn Moon Garden.

When he arrived outside the garden, Xu Shiheng said to Yue Binbin: "Miss Hang, I rashly invited the girl to come, I want to invite you to see someone, and I also ask Miss Hang not to be surprised." ”

"Who does Xu Gongzi want me to meet?"

"Mother-in-law."

Yue Yi was stunned, nodded a little and said, "I know, then Xu Gongzi will lead the way." The two of them walked all the way and arrived at less than half a pillar of incense. At the beginning of the month, I thought that it was the county lord of Zhaohe who I was going to see, but I didn't expect that there was a lonely grave in front of me.

The weeds on the side of the grave are cleaned up very cleanly, and there is a candlestick incense case on the grave case, it can be seen that there are still people who often come to pay respects, and the tomb of Xu Liu of Chengzhou Qingyuan is written on the grave.

In fact, if you don't look at it, you can guess at the beginning of the month that this should be the tomb of Xu Shiheng's biological mother.
