Chapter 252: The Gardener's Past

Look at it again, there is a red figure standing in a white rose, just from the back, you can know that this is Zhu Hong.

Nie Shuyao felt that except for him, no one would wear such a red dress to swagger.

"Let's go over and have a look, too."

Then the group carefully walked along the path among the roses. When I got closer, I found that there was a tomb in the middle of the rose that was almost a man tall, and on one side of the tomb was a small thatched house.

Zhu Hong stood in front of the two, watching with interest the old man who was hunched in front of the thatched hut busy.

Nie Shuyao suddenly felt that this person's bad taste was really uncomfortable, and said in a low voice: "Why didn't this uncle help?" ”

Zhu Hong turned around slowly, the corners of his mouth still had a smile on his lips, but that smile seemed sarcastic to Nie Shuyao.

"You're here...... Fight the tiger? He looked up and down, and finally looked at their hands, and the sarcasm in his smile seemed to be even greater.

Nie Shuyao and the others frowned, except for Liu Zhutou, no one brought a knife, and it was not easy to borrow a knife to catch a quick one. But Liu Zhutou was afraid that something would happen in Shilipo, so he prepared five short sticks with eyebrows, some of the five people held the sticks, and some pinned this thing to their waists, which really looked like they were going to fight tigers.

Song Yunfei felt that there was something wrong with this Zhu Hong since yesterday, and he seemed to have seen it somewhere, plus he was unkind to his words many times, so he couldn't respect this person, even if he was Feng Wuya's master.

He still has aristocratic thoughts in his heart, except for Nie Shuyao's sister and brother, no one looks at it. Raised an eyebrow and said, "Why are you here?" ”

Zhu Hong was not annoyed by his attitude, and said gently: "Do you think that without my help, you can go out of the city so smoothly?" Wuya's acting skills are good, but there are many people staring at you. ”

This attitude and the tone of his speech made Song Yunfei feel like he was really familiar with him again, and frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhu Hong snorted coldly, "Stinky boy, don't even I remember?" I hugged you when you were a kid! ”

Song Yunfei scratched his head again, "How old are you?" Sue you, this boy is almost nineteen! ”

"Nineteen?" Zhu Hong smiled shamefully: "I see that you have lived to a dog all these years, and even Uncle Ben dares to forget!" ”

"You ......." Unexpectedly, Song Yunfei did not become angry, but just looked at him with inquiring eyes again.

Zhu Hong really wanted to go up and slap him twice, wake up this forgetful spirit, and wanted to expose his identity through his mouth, but it seems unlikely for the time being.

A big man like him naturally can't just say his identity so casually, so Zhu Hong is very firm. Especially after he finally decided to abandon the previous and follow the path arranged by the old man, his appearance must be shocking!

Nie Shuyao looked at the two of them with interest, and didn't say the last word.

Zhu Hong came to Nie Shuyao, he knew their disguise, and said softly: "Why don't I take the girl to see the roses here." This kind of flower is rare in the capital! ”

Rose was named this as early as the Tang Dynasty, and there was a poem, "The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, and the rose is full of incense." It's just that roses are far less beautiful than peonies and chrysanthemums in ancient times.

Nie Shuyao said with a smile: "Okay, such a beautiful rose garden is indeed rare. However, should we ask the host if they are willing before visiting the garden? ”

Zhu Hong said with a smile: "The host is naturally willing. She is a person who loves to share happiness with others. ”

"Really? But I still want to say a few words to this old man. Nie Shuyao didn't know who Zhu Hong was talking about, thinking that he was the old man with a rickety back in front of him.

The old man was cutting the grass, and he didn't know what to do. Hearing this, the movements in his hands only stopped for a moment, and he didn't even raise his head.

Nie Shuyao muttered to herself again: "Do you know the language of roses? In fact, the language of flowers is like bamboo representing elegance, while peony represents the same meaning as wealth. ”

Everyone didn't know what Nie Shuyao meant by this, so they shook their heads one after another, and even Zhu Hong showed an interested smile.

"What is it?" The first person to ask was the blind old man, who raised his head, his left eye covered with black hair, and his voice was hoarse.

Nie Shuyao said: "The flower language of Rose is 'the thought of love, your qiē is very cute'. Roses are divided into many colors, and the flower language of each color is not the same, I don't know which one the old man likes the most. ”

The blind old man was inexplicably excited, and tears flowed out of his single eye, "Her one qiē is very cute, all of them are good!" ”

Nie Shuyao said again: "However, the old man seems to have a unique love for roses." ”

For a long time, he couldn't get a word of reply from the blind old man.

Zhu Hong said: "Let's go, he won't talk much." Ask me something? ”

Nie Shuyao felt very strange, and asked again, "I don't know why this section of the stone slab in Bluestone Lane is a little different?" ”

The blind old man's expression did not change, and he lowered his head again and said, "I picked up these stone slabs, and the ones that were not good before were changed elsewhere." ”

"Then why only change this paragraph?" Nie Shuyao asked.

The blind old man said: "This section is very special, it is convenient to walk in front of my thatched house. ”

"Follow me!" Zhu Hongdao left here first.

The roses here are very good, they are all almost wild-raised, and in some places they are as tall as a man, and they would not have been able to go inside and watch if it were not for a few paths in the middle.

Zhu Hong stayed away from the thatch, and then talked about the blind old man, "Do you think he is just a gardener who collects night incense?" Haven't you ever wondered who that tomb is? ”

Nie Shuyao also wanted to know, and answered: "I don't know, whose is it?" ”

Zhu Hong smiled: "Why don't we exchange?" I tell you about the origin of that guy and that grave, why do you want to check Shilipo, how? ”

Song Yunfei immediately felt that there was a ghost in it, pulled Nie Shuyao's sleeve, and whispered in her ear: "Shuyao, don't agree." Beware of deception! ”

Nie Shuyao glanced at Song Yunfei meaningfully, shook his head, and asked, "Brother Feng didn't sue you?" ”

"That kid won't say anything if he dies!" Zhu Hong gritted his teeth and said.

Nie Shuyao nodded and said, "This is the rule of our firm, and we can't leak cases at will." Uncle, you have to forgive him. ”

"Humph! Don't want to know the secrets here? I'm not happy to say anything else, do you think anyone can know? Zhu Hong pretended to be relaxed.

Nie Shuyao was also deliberately embarrassed and said: "Originally, the rules of our affairs are not allowed to be changed, but the uncle is Brother Feng's master, so let's listen to it reluctantly." But first. ”

Zhu Hong smiled and said, "Deal!" Let's talk about the grave first, what is buried in it is the only daughter of the old Zheng Guogong, and the current sister of Zheng Guogong, Zheng Ruoyun. ”

"Zheng?" Nie Shuyao thought of the fragment of passing by Shilipo and meeting Liu San just now, it seems that the old man is also surnamed Zheng.

The blind old man here was not a gardener fifteen years ago, but Ji Lin, one of the four great talents of Xuanyuan Academy in Beijing, because he admired Zheng Ruoyun, he bought off a subordinate of the Guogong Mansion, and found out that Miss Zheng came to live in the courtyard here every year when the roses bloomed.

Ji Lin came here alone, and he bought off the florist of the other courtyard and became the temporary florist of the other courtyard. In this way, you can see Zheng Ruoyun's posture every day, he is a talented man, and the two of them have feelings for each other. After agreeing to return to Beijing, Ji Lin went to the Guogong Mansion to propose marriage.

Hearing this, Nie Shuyao said: "This is a very good story, why is it like this?" ”

Zhu Hong said: "This is unknown. Ji Lin was blind in one eye, and offended Zheng Guogong again, and his family didn't know how to get the news, and it was announced that Ji Lin died violently half a year later, which can be regarded as saving a little face. And Zheng Ruoyun also died almost at the same time. ”

"How do you know this?" Nie Shuyao looked at him with suspicion.

Zhu Hong said with a smile: "I accidentally found it, although Ji Lin has become like this, I still recognize him." ”

Nie Shuyao glanced at each other with a few people around her, and said helplessly: "Okay." It seems that there is not much to gain from coming to Shilipo this time. Liu Putou, you go and ask the current head of Shilipo if anyone has gone missing in the past few days. Then, let's go back. ”

She didn't know if Ji Lin's matter had anything to do with their slander, but at this time she had to go back and sort it out.

Everyone returned the same way, and Liu Zhutou and the old man went to knock on the door of the old man.

Nie Shuyao looked at the irregular bluestone slab on the soles of her feet, and didn't know why she had been haunted by that different bluestone slab. pulled Zhu Hong and said in a low voice: "Uncle, if I open the bluestone slab here, do you think that Ji Lin will fight with me?" ”

Zhu Hong said: "Definitely!" This bluestone lane was originally the road leading to Zheng Ruoyun's boudoir. ”

"How do you know?" Nie Shuyao approached and asked.

This action made Song Yunfei nervous, and he pulled Nie Shuyao's sleeve and said, "Shuyao, the injury on your hand is not healed." I'll get it for you! ”

ignored the fact that Nie Shuyao's injured arm was left, and the hand holding the stick was right. But the pull drew her closer to him again.

Then, Nie Tianxi and Jiang Yi both frowned slightly, and unconsciously leaned closer to Nie Shuyao.

Zhu Hong chuckled and raised his eyebrows at Song Yunfei and said, "I once got the drawings of the Shilipo Zheng Guogong Courtyard. ”

"Oh, can you show me?" Nie Shuyao intuitively felt that this picture was very important, so he stepped forward again.

But her right hand was grabbed by Song Yunfei at some point, so she glared back at him angrily.

Song Yunfei said: "If Shu Yao wants to see it, I will ask Xiaoqing to go back to Beijing now to find it for you, and he can find me!" ”

Zhu Hong said provocatively: "This picture is from twenty years ago, do you think such a thing happened, Zheng Guoguild kept it?" ”

Song Yunfei was speechless, just holding Nie Shuyao's hand and not letting go.

"Alas, okay, okay. Let's go back first! Nie Shuyao pulled out his hand vigorously and came to Nie Tianxi's side.

And Nie Tianxi also understood what she meant, so he took the first step to hold his sister's right hand and said, "Sister, I'm tired after coming out for so long." It's better to go back early, maybe there will be a clue when you go back! ”

Nie Shuyao sighed: "It's okay if you don't have clues, you can go to Yangzhou with peace of mind." ”

After Liu Zhutou came back, he shook his head and said: "The people in Shilipo have no household registration, and no one will know if they don't have ten days and half a month." ”

"Well, then, let's go back." This was expected by Nie Shuyao. R1152
