Ruosheng looked up, but saw that the third uncle's face was calm, and there was something reassuring between his eyebrows, and he couldn't help but calm down.

She glanced at him gratefully, and then thanked him earnestly.

Even the third master was stunned.

This is not like the three girls of the Lian family he knows!

He asked suspiciously: "Speaking of which, Ah Jiu shouldn't have been to the Pingzhou area, right?" ”

Most of the Lianjia's manpower is distributed along the canal, and then there is the Jingshi, but there are not many places to get involved in. The masters of the mansion, from Mrs. Yun Zhen to the children of Ruosheng's generation, always go to these places when they have free time and want to go out to play. Lian Sanye recalled it carefully, but he really couldn't remember when he had been to Pingzhou. Not to mention the small ones below, even they themselves have hardly ever been to Pingzhou.

So when Ruosheng mentioned this earlier, he was already suspicious.

Now seeing Ruosheng frowning when he looked at Xin, and repeatedly thanked himself respectfully, he didn't feel even more suspicious, and couldn't help but ask carefully.

The moment Ruosheng heard the questioning, his heart was turning back and forth, struggling in every way. She wants to tell the truth, but where can she tell the truth? She said that she made up a lie, but after thinking about it, there was no good way to perfunctory this matter.

Just as she was hesitating, she heard the third uncle ask again: "As for the businessman surnamed Wu, how did you know?" ”

Although the elders don't restrict her from going out, the people she knows can't go out of Kyoto. Even the third master was confused and suspicious, but it made sense. Ruosheng pinched the thin piece of paper between his fingers, lowered his eyes slightly, laughed, and pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Although I have never been to Pingzhou Mansion, I have always heard of it. ”

"Third uncle, let me tell you something, you can't tell others." She raised her eyes, their eyes shining.

Lian Sanye looked at the little girl's family with a look of holding back words but didn't dare to say it, and finally said after a while: "What is the matter?" If it's an important matter, you still can't hide it from your father and aunt. ”

Ruosheng sighed secretly when he heard this, and the third uncle didn't know how to casually coax a couple of sentences along with her child's words, and he actually said such things so strictly.

But she didn't plan to stop there, so she didn't care about it for the time being, and only said: "I heard someone inadvertently talk about it in Duan's house a few days ago, saying that someone met a wealthy businessman surnamed Wu Mingliang in Pingzhou a few years ago. There was a dancing girl from Dongyi next to him who gave birth to a child, with two mandarin duck eyes, one blue and one black, which was quite unusual. She smacked her tongue and sighed, and suddenly twisted, "Third uncle, you also know that I like these strange things, and after listening to them, I can't even sleep well when I look back, just thinking about it." ”

If these words were said by someone else, even the third master would definitely have to think about it, but these words came from Ruosheng's mouth, and he believed it.

Such a thing is indeed done by Ruosheng.

Moreover, her maternal ancestor Duan's family, whose ancestors are rumored to have come from Pingzhou Mansion, is that there are still a few side clansmen left in Pingzhou, and occasionally they come to fight the autumn wind.

Ruosheng occasionally goes to Duan's house to stay for two days, and it is not surprising to hear some such interesting rumors.

Even the third master believed her words, and said: "In this case, then I will send a message to the people when I go back, and let them go to find out the whereabouts of the child who gave birth to mandarin duck eyes, and only a few people will continue to look for the merchant." "If you can find the child, that's fine; If you can't find it, finding Wu Liang is also a clue.

Even the family spoils the children, and the third master is no exception.

Since I think it's rare and I want to see it with my own eyes, I sent someone to find it and let her take a look.

Even the third master didn't continue to take this matter seriously, and after a few words with Ruosheng, he greeted the fourth girl, Wan Qing, with a smile, and asked her to accompany Ruosheng to walk around in the third room.

The fourth girl was shy and a little undare.

Ruosheng stepped forward and took her arm, and walked out affectionately, picking up words as he went.

The little girl has a steady temperament, but after all, she is there, and as time goes by, she gradually opens up the conversation.

The two cousins chattered for a while.

The original rustiness seems to have slowly disappeared.

After another quarter of an hour, Ruosheng said goodbye, and the four girls reluctantly sent her to the door. Ruosheng laughed, said that he would come to play with her when he was free, and invited her to eat in the second room. The cook invited by the third wife was given to Mingyuetang before she used it, and presumably the fourth girl didn't have a chance to taste the cook's craftsmanship.

Ruosheng invited twice, and the fourth girl nodded and agreed.

Then the two dispersed separately in front of the door.

As soon as he went out, the green banana greeted him and asked Ruosheng to go back to Muxi Garden. Ruosheng thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't go back for the time being." ”

Since her aunt came back from Xishan, she has never left the gate of Qianju Garden.

Ruosheng, her father and the three members of the Zhu family have only gone to Qianzhong Garden for one meal, and other than that, she doesn't often see her aunt.

In her previous life, she was really lazy and blind, she didn't know people clearly, and she didn't want to take care of things, and in the end, she didn't even know how her aunt fell ill, why she couldn't afford to get sick and had no power to return to heaven. She only remembered that for a long time, her aunt was reluctant to see people.

Yes, while she is now well, it is better for her to walk around in the Thousand Heavy Garden first.

However, who knows, not long after she walked into Qianzhong Garden with the green banana, she met someone head-on.

Under the warm spring sun, he was dressed in white, walking against the light, his eyebrows were blurred. Ruosheng smelled the smell of incense on his body, as familiar as in her memory, so familiar that her heart sank suddenly.

She has never been able to forget that summer.

A long time ago, the long hot summer was the happiest time of the year for her.

Just because when she was thirteen years old, she also met Yuyin in the Thousand Gardens like today.

But it's only February, and it's the height of summer.

The young man she had never remembered in her heart broke into her sight with an unpredictable attitude, and it became a sharp needle that could not be pulled out.

Yes, a needle, a poisonous needle.

Yu Yin was a rusty needle stuck in the cracks of her bones. It hurts, but it can't be pulled out.

That day, he stood by the pool and held out his hand to her.

Behind him, a clump of new lotuses was swaying and growing, exuding a weak and stubborn aura of contradiction.

She saw that his moon-white coat was mottled with water, but between his fingers was a budding lotus flower.

At that moment, she tasted the word "acacia".

- Sweet, greasy.

But now that she looks back and thinks about what she saw, heard, and thought about that day, it was just like a joke.

A few years later, summer became her most hated season. In May of the twenty-first year of Xuanming, the red sun was in the sky and there was no rain. The huge sun used up the last trace of water vapor, and finally exhausted the Qi of the Lian family.

She was silent, and the oncoming teenager had slowly approached.

He bent down to salute, calling him "three girls", and his demeanor couldn't be more respectful.

If you lose your mind for a moment, you will say slowly: "What's your name?" ”
