Chapter 174: Memories
The weather was fine, and the blue sky in the distant mountains was piled up with a few fluffy white clouds. An egret flew over and landed in a paddy field not far away.
There is a faint aroma of grass and trees in the air.
Ling Yan grabbed a handful of bracken and came out of the ground, and Xiao Xue looked at her slender fingers worriedly, for fear that the shallot-like nails would be broken.
The corners of the skirt were covered with grass clippings.
However, Ling Yan didn't care, and walked home with Xiao Yu, who was carrying a basket of eight-sided loofahs, while chatting and laughing, and several maids in Banxia Xiaoxue behind were also holding various vegetables. There are many village women and farmers in coarse linen clothes in the fields, and the group is particularly conspicuous.
Back at Xiao's house, the two asked the maid to bring the dishes to the kitchen, and went to the study to find Xiao Pei who was keeping accounts.
Xiao Yu put the good things carefully selected from the treasure house yesterday on the bookcase, and asked the two of them to choose their favorite ones to put away.
The excellent jadeite with the water head, the warm Kunlun jade, and the crystal clear gemstones of all colors.
Ling Yan came from a famous family, and immediately found that these were rare and gems, and said in surprise: "I heard my brother say that the treasure house may be traced back to ancient times, and I thought it was full of clay pots or something, but I didn't expect there to be such exquisite valuables!" ”
Xiao Yu looked at Ling Yan with a smile and said, "I still have a good thing here, Sister Yan guess?" If you guess right, it's yours, if you don't guess, it's mine. ”
Ling Yan thought about it again and again, and couldn't guess what could be better, so she smiled and said with a smile: "If there are good things, don't you take them out quickly, and sell them here again!" ”
I'm really curious.
Xiao Yu sat down on the pear blossom wooden chair next to him and said with a smile: "When I was in the treasure house yesterday, because I didn't know how to look at these good things, and I didn't know what Sister Yan liked, so I asked General Yang Zhong to help and picked one for Sister Yan." ”
Ling Yan couldn't help blushing slightly when she heard Xiao Yu mention Zhong Lang, and after understanding the meaning of her words, she was immediately surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the thing?" ”
Xiao Yu was surprised: "Sister Yan didn't guess. The jade comb naturally belongs to me, and I still ask what is this? ”
Ling Yan blushed when she heard this, and she didn't know what to do.
When Xiao Yu saw her like this, he didn't tease her anymore. From his sleeve pocket, he took out the jujube red skin and Tian seed material jade comb and handed it to her.
This jade comb is pure and white, the color is like mutton fat, and the place with jujube red skin is carved with phoenix-shaped ornamentation, which is delicate and generous.
Ling Yan, who was already like a peach blossom, hurriedly took it with both hands, and couldn't help but look at it again. I'm still a little bit less convinced that this is true.
"Is this comb really picked out by General Zhong for me?"
"Of course, if Sister Ruoyan doesn't believe it, you can ask General Ling and Yue Gongzi, who were also present at that time."
Xiao Yu nodded with a smile.
Ling Yan's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly whispered, "Ask them what they are doing, of course I believe Sister Ah Yu." ”
After lunch, Xiao Yu admired the jewelry she got back yesterday, but remembered that it had been a long time since she had asked Hua Yue if her eyes had recovered.
After asking Ling Yi and knowing that Hua Yue had returned to Changle Villa, Xiao Yu took Banxia to go.
Because Zhong Lang was still in the treasure house, Ling Yan did not go with Xiao Yu.
It didn't take long to arrive at the gate of Changle Villa. Yuanzhi and Bai Ji greeted him. Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Childe is admiring the flowers inside, and asked Miss Xiao if she wants to go over and have a look." ”
Xiao Yu nodded.
After walking a long way along the path of flowers and trees, the front suddenly became empty, and a large sea of fiery red flowers appeared in front of Xiao Yu.
The white-clothed Hua Yue stood in the sea of flowers, which made Xiao Yu stunned for a moment.
Then I remembered the past because of the variety of the flower.
Hua Yue turned her head when she heard the movement, and said with a slight smile: "If Miss Ayu likes it, I'll let you transplant some to the Xiao family?" ”
Xiao Yu nodded subconsciously and couldn't help asking, "Why is Young Master Yue such a big piece of vermilion?" ”
Nowadays, there are not many people who plant vermilion red, Xiao Yu has only seen it in the general's mansion, and he thought of a certain possibility. I couldn't help but ask the exit.
Hua Yue seemed a little surprised, and smiled: "I planted it unintentionally, but I didn't expect it to grow very well." ”
Xiao Yu didn't hear the answer she was looking forward to, and couldn't help but show a little disappointment. But it soon disappeared, and she looked at the sea of red flowers with a bright cloud, and forgot for a moment that she had come to the villa.
When she returned home, Xiao Yu remembered.
The gardeners of Changle Villa quickly transplanted a lot of vermilion red, and Xiao Yu sat in the study and watched those people busy lazily, a little dazed.
……
The spring of the eleventh year of Yongkang in Daqi. The border is stable, and the four seas are peaceful. Even the small towns and villages in southern Xinjiang show some signs of prosperity.
Outside the small courtyard surrounded by a low wall in the south of Yangjia Village, a small patch of yellow and clear cauliflower is blooming brilliantly, adding a bit of beauty to the white-walled and tiled farmhouse.
At this time, a little girl in a light green dress stood next to the cauliflower, tilted her head, and reached for the pink butterfly taller than her in the flowers, the soft morning light reflected on her fine white face, and the long eyelashes cast a shallow shadow, making her eyes brighter.
Xiao Yu didn't even touch the pink butterfly's wings, and when he saw it fly away, he waved his little fat hand twice in frustration, knocking down a lot of fine petals and falling on his body. She squatted down boredly and pulled the wildflowers on the side.
Suddenly, a frog jumped up to catch insects to eat, Xiao Yu was caught off guard and was bluffed.
Xiao Yu was feeling annoyed when a boy about five or six years old wearing a blue caftan ran out of the alley next to her, and stepped forward to help her up.
"Is Ayu okay?"
"Brother Jun!" Xiao Yu smiled milkily, revealing a few small front teeth.
The boy looked Xiao Yu up and down carefully, and when he saw that she was fine, he relieved himself: "Ah Yu, I went to buy flowers with Da Niu ......"
Xiao Yu immediately grabbed Brother Jun'er's hand and said sweetly: "Brother, I'm going too!" ”
Seeing Xiao Yu's dark eyes and sparkling appearance, Brother Jun pinched her face funny and said, "It's all bought back and put it at home." ”
A few days ago, the two were playing in front of their homes, and the flower farmer in the village in the rich and noble Zhuangzi pulled flowers and trees by with a board cart, including Zhu Dinghong. In Xiao Yu's previous life, this flower was very common, and it was not a precious variety, because there were a few plants planted at home, but he didn't know the name, and he also checked the information, so he knew that this flower came from overseas. It's a bit strange to see at this time.
So Xiao Yu took a few more glances at the cart of flowers, but he didn't expect Brother Jun to go to buy flowers. No wonder I didn't see him early this morning.
Xiao Yu immediately said: "Then let's go home and have a look!" ”
Brother Jun smiled and nodded, took her hand and walked into the yard, talking to her as he spoke. Xiao Yu is two and a half years old, and her words have been spoken very clearly and methodically, and the villagers have praised her for her intelligence when they see her.
Su Ying saw the two coming back and came out with pastries.
But seeing that Brother Jun had already started digging with a small shovel, Xiao Yu filled the basin with water, holding it in two chubby hands, looking very difficult.
Su Ying didn't step forward to help, but as soon as she turned her head, she heard a bang. (To be continued.) )
