Later, the guests invited by the Mu Mansion entered the tea garden one after another, and were arranged in the tea pavilion where the people in the house drank tea in the morning.

Between the tea plantations and on the paths, there are people everywhere.

It's very lively.

On such an occasion, it is naturally inconvenient for the ladies to come forward, except for the Huangfu family and the Su family, most of the others stay in Mingyuexuan, or take a walk, or stay in the house to chat.

Shen Qingli stayed in the house, suddenly feeling bored, looking at the half bag of pig arch fungus in the corner, his heart was itchy again, so he called out Bi Tao and said it to breathe.

Since there are guests on the tea pavilion and you can't go, it's better to go to the back of the tea pavilion, and maybe there will be pig arch fungus there.

The hillside behind the tea pavilion is relatively steep, and the tea garden cannot be repaired, but all kinds of tea trees are planted, and the uneven tea trees have become a natural tea forest.

The two went up the hill behind the tea pavilion, and saw a stream passing through the slope and flowing into the valley in front, forming a curtain of upside-down waterfalls, and could vaguely hear the sound of rushing water in the valley, Bi Tao said excitedly: "Young lady, look how clear the water of this stream is!" ”

"Let's sit here for a while!" Shen Qingli also immediately fell in love with this Wang Qingling water, sat down immediately, and saw that the pebbles at the bottom of the stream were really sleek and cute, so he simply took off his shoes and socks, and stepped on those stones barefoot, so cool!

"Young lady, isn't the water cold?" Bi Tao hurriedly walked to the side, stretched out her hand to try the stream water, and then withdrew her hand with confidence, but she didn't expect that the water was not only not cold, but also had a trace of residual warmth, which was very strange, and her eyes touched Shen Qingli's small white feet soaked in the stream, so she quipped, "The young lady's feet are so beautiful." White and slender, I guess the prince likes it too! ”

"You dead girl, dare you make fun of me!" Shen Qingli couldn't help but blush. Grabbed a small stone beside her and threw it into the water in front of her, and the water splashed her face.

"The young lady bullies." Bi Tao also smiled and grabbed a small stone and threw it over with a smile.

Shen Qingli couldn't dodge, and even splashed his face.

"Who am I? It turned out to be the second young lady. "Behind. A Qingyue voice came, and I saw Xia Yunchu smiling in front of the two, "Young lady, don't come to harm!" ”

He was followed by a small attendant, who probably did not step forward after receiving the master's order, but just stood not far away and waited.

A shadow instantly blocked it.

"Xia Shizi." Shen Qingli stood up awkwardly, but found that she was still barefoot, and sat down busily, and Bi Tao hurriedly took her shoes and socks.

Xia Yunchu glanced at the pair of jade feet that were immersed in the water. Smiled and turned his back playfully.

Shen Qingli put on his shoes in a wolf manner.

Where did this man come from, speechless!

"Second young lady, don't taste tea in the tea garden, why did you come here?" Xia Yunchu glanced at her with his spare eyes, and saw that she had already cleaned up, so he turned around and asked.

"Feel free to come and walk." Shen Qingli smiled at him embarrassedly, and said, "Why doesn't Xia Shizi go to the tea pavilion to drink tea?" ”

Hey?

Why did he have a lot of water stains on his body?

In a few places, they were even attached to their clothes.

She hurriedly looked away.

"Like the second young lady, she also came over and walked around." Xia Yunchu glanced her up and down. He added, "A few days ago, Chun Tao beside the second young lady stayed by my side. Presumably, these days, the second young lady is angry with me, right? ”

"How so! Although Chun Tao is my girl, she has her freedom. Shen Qingli said calmly.

"Huh." Xia Yunchu laughed dryly, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Don't hide it from the second young lady, I have always been unkind to such a subordinate, so, a few days ago." I have already sent her back to Jingzhou. ”

"Oh! That's fine! Shen Qingli couldn't help frowning slightly, and said softly. In any case, I still have to thank Xia Shizi for this matter. ”

"Hmm. How is the second young lady going to thank me? Xia Yunchu squinted and asked.

"In the future, if Xia Shizi needs my help with anything, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Shen Qingli said embarrassedly.

"Okay, this is what the second young lady said herself, but I have someone to testify!" Xia Yunchu said with a smile.

"Xia Shizi is free, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first!" Shen Qingli hurriedly pulled Bi Tao and turned around and went down the hillside.

"Young lady, why didn't you tell Xia Shizi about the embankment in South Liyuan Village just now?" Bi Tao reminded as she walked, "The slave maid sees that Xia Shizi is very talkative, maybe he will agree." ”

"Forget it, the embankment has just been raised this year, presumably there will be no problem in a year or two, let's talk about this later! Besides, why am I too embarrassed to speak? ”

"Shizi." At this time, the little guy standing on the side came over and reminded with a smile, "Do you want to take a shower again?" ”

"What shower am I showering?" Xia Yunchu asked with a dark face.

"Shizi, the second young lady of Mufu is washing her feet upstream, and you are bathing downstream, so isn't it you bathing with her footwashing water?" Who doesn't know that the son of the world has a habit of cleanliness!

This is also known as awareness.

If someone you don't know dares to wash your feet in the upper reaches of the world, you simply don't want to live!

"What do you know? Can a beauty's footwash be the same as an ordinary person's footwash? Xia Yunchu glared at him and said unhappily, "I sue you, you rot in my stomach for this matter, if you dare to say it, be careful that I break your legs." ”

"The villain doesn't dare." The little guy hurriedly swore an oath.

Most of the dignitaries who came to taste tea dispersed in the evening.

Those who stayed for dinner were naturally close relatives and friends.

The eighth prince Huang Fuchen is the future son-in-law of the Hou Mansion, so he was naturally retained, Xia Yunchu didn't leave, no matter how he said it, he was also Mu Yunche's brother-in-law, and he was not an outsider.

The group did not disperse until they finished dinner, but sat in the tea pavilion and continued to drink tea and chat.

The gentlemen in the house had to be patient with them.

Until Gong Si came to report that the Tong family was coming.

Mu Yunting said goodbye and left the tea pavilion.

Shen Qingli had already made an appointment with Mu Yu, saying that she had found a delicious fungus in the mountains and asked her to try it.

Mu Yu had already heard that this younger brother and sister had good cooking skills, so she happily went.

The wing room where Shen Qingli lives is the East Courtyard, and when Mu Yunting was not married in previous years, it was Mu Yunqi who lived here with him. Now there are female dependents in the courtyard, and Mu Yunting and Mu Yunqi have not had a good relationship recently, so there are Shen Qingli and Bi Tao going back and forth in the huge courtyard.

"Sister, try this truffle stewed chicken." I saw Mu Yu come in. Shen Qingli smiled and entertained this sister-in-law who was not very good-tempered.

Truffle is another name for arch porcine, which is a bit better to call.

Black lumps of mushrooms and chicken nuggets are served in large white porcelain bowls. It is also dotted with a few cherry-sized red fruits and a few small green coriander that are unique to the mountains, which can be described as full of color and flavor.

This chicken was specially bought by Shen Qingli in the village under the mountain, an absolute green local chicken, without any hormones!

Considering that the mushrooms and chicken stewed together did not look very good, I asked Bi Tao to go to the mountains to pick a few wild red fruits to decorate and decorate.

Although Shen Qingli is very confident in her craft, she is still willing to decorate this dish well, and her purpose of cooking is. Not only is it delicious, but it also has to look good.

That, she and Bi Tao have already eaten a bowl in advance to satisfy their hunger!

Sure enough, Mu Yu was very interested in the appearance of this dish, tasted a piece at the moment, nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Brother and sister, did you really invite me to eat chicken?" And not what's the matter? ”

"Of course. I, what else can I do! Shen Qingli looked at her with some humility.

Too sensitive, right?

Fortunately, Mu Yu didn't doubt it anymore, and the food in front of her attracted all her attention. After eating with relish, he asked, "Brother and sister, have you left some for the prince?" ”

It's really a sister-brother relationship!

"It's been set aside, and my grandmother and mother have sent a bowl of it." Knowing that there are many people, I deliberately stewed two chickens, how can one chicken be enough......

Shen Qingli looked at Mu Yu's face full of concern, and a thought instantly came to his mind, at present, in this chaotic mansion. Except for grandmother, perhaps. Only this eldest sister is a person who can be trusted.

Although she loves the house and Wu, after all, she has no ill will towards herself.

And Xia Shi is a little bit open and clawed on the surface. But she felt she could handle it.

Only the unpredictable Su family usually looks harmless to humans and animals, but as long as she makes a move, she feels that she is bound to destroy herself.

Therefore, Su Shi is her real opponent.

"Young lady, the prince is back, and he is preparing to eat in the side hall, do you want to send this chicken over?" Bi Tao carried a small food box and came in to report.

"By the way, sister, I suddenly remembered that Shizi said today that he had something to discuss with his sister." Shen Qingli understood, and hurriedly said, "Why don't my sister go to the side hall to find Shizi to sit down, and by the way, send this plate of chicken to Shizi!" ”

"Alright then!" Mu Yu picked up the food box and left without thinking.

In the side hall, a strange man stood facing the wall with his hands in his hands, and when he heard the footsteps, he pointed to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and said in surprise: "I didn't expect Mu Shizi to also like Wu Mingzi's calligraphy and paintings. ”

Wu Mingzi is a famous calligraphy and painting master in the previous dynasty, but he has disappeared in recent decades, and his life and death are unknown, so his calligraphy and painting can be described as hard to find.

For a long time, no one answered.

The young man turned his head, but saw a woman in orange Yingying standing there, looking at him with a confused face, stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Young lady, no, Miss Mu, let's meet again." ”

"You are?" When Mu Yu heard him call himself like this, he suddenly felt confused.

I was under the impression that she didn't know this person.

"Miss Mu, surnamed Tong, is a classmate and friend of Brother Lin Shi, and I visited Brother Lin Shi last year, at that time last year......" Tong Jingyi reminded cautiously.

At the time he said, it was naturally when Lin Feng was critically ill.

At that time, she was in the middle of her heart, where would she pay attention to others......

"It turned out to be the husband's deceased." Mu Yu stepped forward and curtsied, and smiled lightly, "The concubine is rude." ”

Seeing Mu Yu saluting himself as a surviving person, Tong Jingyi was moved in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Miss doesn't need to be polite, but she is presumptuous, I hope Miss will forgive me!" ”

Mu Yunting stood outside the door of the side hall, quietly listening to the conversation inside, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he retreated silently, walked into the inner garden, and saw Shen Qingli sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard with his chin on his back and looking up at the moon, so he also walked over, sat down opposite her, his eyes quietly swept over the picturesque face in front of him, and asked expressionlessly: "Shen Qingli, where have you been?" ”

"I went to the back of the hill and walked around." Shen Qingli saw that his face was full of solemnity, and hurriedly replied truthfully.

"Who did you meet there?" He didn't look at her, just stared at the stone table in front of him.

The material of this stone table is actually not a stone, but a kind of rock similar to jade, which he brought back from Youzhou, but he felt that this stone was a little green, and at first glance it looked like it was moss, and it was a little incongruous in Qingxin Garden, so he moved here.

"I met Xia Shizi." She replied generously.

"And then, where you wash your feet, and where does he look?" He looked at her coldly, and under the moonlight, her face looked particularly beautiful and moving, and the hairpin rings between her temples swayed gently, exuding a faint light.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We just happened to meet and I didn't know he was there at the time! When it came to washing his feet, Shen Qingli couldn't help blushing.

Shameless, he even sent someone to follow her!

"Why did I stay in the back mountain for a long time ago, and I didn't see you over." Mu Yunting continued to say with a dark face, "Why did Xia Yunchu's front foot just pass, and you followed with your back foot, I can't see that you still have this tacit understanding!" ”

"I said it was a coincidence, don't you wronged me, okay?" Shen Qingli was angry in his heart, stood up and left, what kind of person!

"I just wronged you, what's wrong?" Seeing that she was leaving, he got up and grabbed her, hugged her under a tea tree, didn't say a word, lowered his head and kissed her, his big hand couldn't help but reach into her clothes, and said in a dumb voice, "Shen Qingli, I won't allow you to be alone with that Xia Yunchu again in the future, did you hear that?" ”

When he heard Gong Si report this scene to him, he couldn't wait to beat that Xia Yunchu, and even went to see his daughter-in-law wash her feet, it was really unbeatable!

He hasn't taken a good look at his daughter-in-law's feet!

At the same time, I also hated this woman so much that she was barefoot in broad daylight, and there were no rules!

"Mu Yunting, you bastard." Shen Qingli beat him in shame, seeing that he was actually pulling her clothes, this person is sick! This is in the courtyard, and there are guests in the side hall!

Thinking of the trick that Bi Tao taught her, she raised her leg and kicked at him.

Mu Yunting obviously didn't expect her to kick him, he didn't have any defense, he felt a sharp pain under him, he hurriedly let go of her, bent down in pain, gritted his teeth and said, "You stupid woman, you really kick!" ”

"You, are you alright?" Shen Qingli frowned when he saw him, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I'll help you go and sit over there for a while!" ”

Unexpectedly, this trick really works......

At this time, Gong Si's voice came from the door: "Bi Tao, have you seen the prince and the young lady?" ”

The two looked at each other for a moment.

"Shen Qingli, wait until tomorrow to see how I clean you up!" Mu Yunting held on to the tree, rested for a while, straightened his clothes, glanced at her, and walked out calmly.

When Shen Qingli heard this, he immediately blushed. (To be continued) R655
