"The flowers of land and water, plants and trees, the lovely ones are very rich. Jin Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemum alone. Since Li Tanglai, the world loves peonies very much. To love the lotus out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, straight through the outside, no vines and no branches, fragrant far and clear, pavilion net planting, can be viewed from a distance and can not be blasphemed......"

In the early summer, the breeze was moving, and the voice of a clear and slightly immature girl came from the open window of an attic, and the voice was chanting slowly, and after a short pause, it sounded calmly: "Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, can be seen from a distance and not blasphemed...... Chrysanthemum, the hermit of flowers; Peony, the rich and noble of flowers are also ......"

The breeze blew in from the attic window, driving the robe and skirt of a water-colored light gauze dress in the window to flutter lightly. The back of a slender jade girl stood in the window, her wrist was lightly raised, the rice paper was spread, the jade hand held the pen, dipped in the ink lightly, outlined, and a blooming green lotus jumped on the paper for a while.

Looking at the fragrance in the painting, she lightly opened her cherry lips and continued the above that had not yet been recited: "Lotus, the gentleman of flowers." ”

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and a maid came in with a plate of pastries, she put the plate on a few cases, and said with a smile: "Miss, you always say that Lotus is a gentleman, should you promise Lotus a gentleman in the future?" ”

The girl put down the pen and turned around, the jade skin was delicate and flawless, the corners of the cherry lips were slightly raised, the eyebrows were bent like a crescent moon, the eyes were as bright as the stars, the eyebrows, eyes, mouth and nose were all just right, delicate to the extreme, especially the clear and charming eyes, giving people a clear and shining blue heart, the age can be in the early tens, but it is enough to make people unforgettable, sighing the preference of the creator.

She looked at the maid and smiled, "What's the harm in making promises?" After marrying horizontally and vertically, you will also be a dowry. ”

The maid's name is Xiangyun, a few years older than the master, and she is already a slim girl, she heard the young lady in turn joke about herself, and said with a smile: "Miss, take a break and eat some snacks." Then he poured in a glass of water.

The girl walked to the side and sat down, picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, then pulled Xiangyun's arm and said, "Come, eat with me." ”

Miss treats her like a sister, Xiangyun is not polite, she sat down according to her words, and said: "Miss looks at it like this every day, it is estimated that the lotus flower has also felt it, I see, this year's flowers must bloom earlier than in previous years." ”

The girl didn't miss the opportunity to make fun of her, and said with a slight smile: "Wouldn't that lotus flower become a flower demon?" ”

Xiangyun ate the pastry in his mouth and said, "The flower that Miss loves so much, how can it become a flower demon?" If you want to change, you will only become a flower fairy! ”

"If only I could really become a flower fairy...... "I could beg her to take me outside to see the world." ”

"Miss wants to go out so much, when will the second young master take you out again?" Xiangyun handed the water cup to the girl and said, "Miss, let's drink saliva." ”

The girl took the water cup, took a sip, and slowly shook her head and said, "No, the second brother took us out last time, and when I came back, my mother taught the second brother a lesson." By the way, do you remember those paper kites we saw when we went out? The girl's face turned to joy.

"Remember, it's so beautiful!" Xiangyun exclaimed.

The girl looked fascinated and said, "I really want to put a paper kite back!" ”

Xiangyun said: "Miss really wants to go out and release paper kites, then the next time you ask the second young master to take you out, the slave and maid will not follow, and stay at home to hide from the old lady for you, okay?" ”

The girl happily turned her face to look at her: "Really? Do you have a way to help us hide it? ”

Xiangyun sneered and said, "The slave is joking, and the young lady is serious?" Oh," she said, looking her eyes around, "I heard that the lady had made another dress for the young lady and asked the nurse to bring it, why didn't she see it?" ”

"I asked the nurse to put it away for me," the girl said casually, "if you want to see it, go and turn it over yourself, I have to go and see my lotus." After speaking, he stood up, stepped out of the door, and came to a lotus pond in the courtyard.

Looking at a pool of budding green lotus, the corners of the girl's mouth rose slightly, and the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were dyed with pleasure. At this moment, she would love someone to be able to share her feelings at this time. It's just that the second brother is still in private school at this time, and the eldest brother should come back early today. It's just that the eldest brother doesn't have much feeling for the flowers at home, but he has a great impression of the "Ling Hua" across the street, and once he went into his room and saw a piece of paper full of these two words. By the way, this "Linghua" is a person, a woman, good-looking, graceful and elegant, too, the eldest brother is handsome and extraordinary, and the girl who likes it should naturally be a good-looking girl.

Thinking of this, she put aside this boring thought, and moved her eyes into the lotus pond, looking at those slim flower bones, she was intoxicated, and couldn't help but recite: "The love of chrysanthemum, Taohou rarely hears of it." Lotus love, who is the giver?"

"Mr. Lianxi, isn't it Su Su?" A calm male voice suddenly sounded.

The girl turned around and saw the eldest brother walking towards the lotus pond and said, "No, there is also a second brother, but there is no eldest brother you." ”

It turned out that the brother and sister were surnamed Yu, their father was Yu Shouqian, a well-educated man, their mother Xu, the eldest son Yu Hong, the second son Yu Jing, and the youngest daughter Yu Qiusu. Because the second son Yu Jing and daughter Yu Qiusu loved lotus, they couldn't pester, so Yu Shouqian had to ask someone to dig a pond and plant lotus. Every summer, Yu's family is also full of incense, so that the Yu Jing brothers and sisters often linger and forget to return. At this time, the lotus flowers have not yet bloomed, but seeing the flower bones standing on the water, the brother and sister will walk around the pond a few times a day to look at them, and the mood of waiting for the flowers is self-evident.

Yu Hong heard the little sister's words with a hint of banter, and said with a smile: "The so-called confidant is hard to find, Mr. Lianxi must be satisfied with the two of you, and people like me who don't know flowers don't mix blindly." ”

Yu Qiusu said with a smile: "But eldest brother, you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, in the future, my sister-in-law will pass the door and accidentally suffer your grievances, I'm afraid that you may not know when the time comes." ”

Seeing her teasing herself, Yu Hong flicked his finger on her forehead and said, "Wow! How dare you come and make fun of your big brother? Growing bold? Aren't you afraid that I will cure you? ”

Yu Qiusu smiled slightly, stroked his forehead and pretended to beg for mercy: "Don't dare, I won't even dare to make fun of my eldest brother in the future." ”

Yu Hong heard her say this, and said "hey": "Could it be that you usually make fun of your eldest brother in your heart?" ”

Yu Qiusu was just about to speak, when he suddenly heard his mother's voice coming: "Hong'er is back?" ”

Yu Hong turned his head and shouted to his mother, raised his legs and walked towards his mother, and asked, "Mother, is my father in the study?" ”

"yes, you're fine."

"Hmm." Yu Hong nodded, turned around and walked towards his father's study.
