At noon in summer, white clouds float in the blue sky. Some of these white clouds are connected together, like silver waves rolling in the ocean, some are overlapping several layers, like distant mountains stacked on top of each other, and sometimes on a large silver-gray cloud, there are clouds of different sizes and shapes, like flowers blooming on the islands and reefs. And the blazing sun, brilliant and vigorous, sometimes even it felt the heat, and wanted to hide in the clouds to seek shade, but more often it burned there heroically, pouring too much light and heat into the earth, so that the aspens by the roadside and the seedlings in the fields drooped listlessly.

In such weather, even if you are in a pavilion with wind on all sides, you can't feel the slightest coolness.

Liang Jin is not the type who is cool and does not sweat, he lazily sits on the recliner in the water pavilion, only feeling that the heat is unbearable, reading the newspaper with one hand, and constantly shaking the big folding fan with the other.

In front of his side, in front of the small stove made of green bricks, Hui Xiang was still dressed in black clothes and black dress, covered with black gauze, wrapping herself in the hot summer, she was standing in front of the stove, putting a handful of slender noodles in the oil pot to fry, until Liang Jin suddenly shouted, shouting loudly while fanning the wind with a fan, and the silence was finally broken:

"child, let's cook cold noodles and eat them, it's too hot to eat noodle soup on a hot day!"

Huixiang frowned, turned around, looked at him directly, and said nothing.

Liang Jin, who wanted to continue, was choked by her eyes, and it was true that he told her that he wanted to eat Yifu noodle soup at noon. It seems that she can't change it anymore, and if he says another word, she will throw a pot of fried noodles in his face.

Touched his nose. Liang Jin smiled wryly:

"You go on! Go on! With a dry smile, he leaned back in his chair and continued to read the newspaper.

Hui Xiang ignored him and continued to cook noodles intently.

Liang Jin glanced at her through the gap in the newspaper, paused, and said with a smile:

"I've just vaguely heard it once, do you really know how to make this Yifu noodle soup?"

"Didn't I eat it for you before, what's the difference between this Yifu noodle soup and the one I made for you?" The aftertaste is cooking quietly. Said lightly.

There is really no difference, Hui Xiang brought him fried noodles when he went out before, and they were curled into a piece like a tea cake. It is said that the noodles made in this way are easy to store, and you only need to soak them in boiling water when eating.

"But at that time, you didn't say that you could use boiling water to boil it, and I always used boiling water to soak that box of noodles. I still think about it and my mouth is full of bland taste. ”

"You're stupid yourself. Do you blame me? Hui Xiang said lightly.

Liang Jin was speechless by what she said, the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, and after a while, he coughed lightly twice, pretending to ask casually:

"By the way, what do you think of the girl Weiwei was looking for?"

"I haven't seen it again." Hui Xiang said lightly.

"Do you want to meet, I'll ask Weiwei to bring her to meet you?" Liang Jin saw that the topic entered Hong Kong. Immediately get excited and ask actively.

"It has always been the daughter-in-law who took the initiative to visit her mother-in-law. How can there be a mother-in-law who rushes to recruit her daughter-in-law to meet. Hui Xiang said in a flat tone.

"You're right, but the taste is not...... It's not ......" Liang Jin doesn't know if the mother and son have reconciled, the mother and son are all types who don't talk much and have expressionless faces, he is caught in the middle, and he doesn't know where to start, he originally wanted to take the opportunity of his son to have a favorite girl to ease the relationship between the two, who knows that Hui Wei knew that his mother was outside the city but didn't come, Hui Xiangming knew that her son was in the city but didn't see it, what the mother and son thought, Liang Jin really couldn't guess.

"If you have that heart, you will come over."

"Hehe, Weiwei is mainly afraid that you will be angry when you see it, in fact, he misses you very much, the last time I went to see him, he specially asked me, 'How is my mother'." Liang Jin said with a smile while quietly observing Hui Xiang's expression.

Hui Xiang was unmoved, there was no expression on his face, just quietly boiling the noodle soup.

Liang Jin really couldn't guess what she was thinking, his eyes rolled, his hands clapped, and he smiled:

"I've seen that girl, she is a good girl, but she is from a lower background, but she is one in a hundred from her appearance to her temperament, she is worthy of being my son, and she has the same vision as me!" As he spoke, he didn't forget to put gold on his face and looked at her with a grin.

Hui Xiang was still unmoved, and after a while, he asked lightly:

"Liang Min was sent to Xiangnan by you?"

Liang Jin, who was about to talk to her, stiffened the smile on the corner of his lips when he heard this, and after a while, he smiled wryly and said "um".

"You should do enough for that kid." After pausing for a while, Hui Xiang said in a light tone.

The stiff curvature of Liang Jin's lips still did not subside, paused, looked at her, and said with a smile:

"You always seem to care about Amin, and you care more about him than about Weiwei."

"My grievance with Wei Xinyan is the grievance of the previous generation, and it has nothing to do with Liang Min, he is just a child who has voted in the wrong place, but he has to bear the pain that should not be borne by him, although this is a sin created by you and Wei Xinyan, but I am also responsible. Ah Wei is my son, in addition to being criticized in terms of identity, I have done everything to him in other aspects, you have always felt that he is pitiful, but I don't think, I gave him everything I can give, but he is in the blessing and does not know the blessing, compared with him, Liang Min is much more pitiful, and the most pitiful thing is that none of you feel that he is pitiful. Hui Xiang added spices to the noodle soup and said with an indifferent expression.

Liang Jin was silent, not that he wanted to be silent, but he didn't know what to say, no matter what the development of the year was, it was a fact that Liang Min was born as his son, and it was a fact that he couldn't erase no matter how troubled he was, no matter how much regret or contradiction he had, so he really couldn't deny that he had caused a lot of pain to the child.

"What do you want me to do?" After a while, he asked in a low voice.

"Stop using Liang Min to provoke Wei Xinyan. I'm not surprised that you have been a prince for so many years, and you have learned a few dirty methods, but you always use Liang Min to provoke Wei Xinyan. Uninteresting, childish. She coldly uttered two rather piercing comments.

Liang Jin was silent.

"Ah Wei's appearance doesn't look like you at all." After a pause, Hui Xiang said.

"It's not like me, that's my own son!" Liang Jin was not happy when he heard it, and emphasized the sentence loudly.

"Liang Min seems to have been carved out of the same mold as you, it was just a distant glance back then, but it was just like when I first met you outside Huiren Palace." As if she had thought of something, she said softly.

In fact, Liang Jin understands. Over the years, Huixiang has treated Liang Min with such subtle specialness, she doesn't like Liang Min, and sometimes even rejects and dislikes it. But more often than not, she is restraining the pity in her heart, the reason why she did it is entirely because Liang Min resembled Liang Jin's silhouette when she was young, and she had said more than once that when she first saw Liang Min. She seemed to have returned to Huiren Palace in the hot summer again. It's been a long time away, full of memories, and mixed feelings.

So, even though he will be dissatisfied with Liang Min's special gentleness because of Huixiang, Liang Jin's heart is not untouched by this matter, and he will feel a trace of warmth while being awkward. A slight warmth that understood the subtle warmth she had when she was still attached to him.

At this moment, there was a faint and almost inaudible sound in the garden on the west side of the water pavilion. Liang Jin looked over, Hui Xiang also glanced at the location where the voice came from, paused, put a bowl of steaming Yifu noodle soup in front of him, and said lightly while untying his pure black apron:

"Let's go when we're done."

"Why should I go? I'm staying here tonight! As soon as Liang Jin heard her order to evict the guest, he immediately widened his eyes and emphasized.

Hui Xiang just glanced at him faintly, didn't say yes or no, turned around, left the water pavilion, walked straight to the west side of the garden, and soon disappeared into the flowers.

There was only a bowl of steaming noodle soup left staring at Liang Jin, Liang Jin picked up a chopstick of smoke-emitting noodles, and regretted a little in his heart, knowing that it was so hot today, he said to eat cold noodles in the morning.

Wearing flowers and willows, Huixiang came to a luxuriant apricot blossom tree, a man in black was waiting there, saw her coming, hurriedly saluted, and called "master" softly.

Hui Xiang stood still under the apricot blossom tree, glanced at him, and asked lightly:

"How's it going?"

"Back to the master, things are as the master expected, our people followed Wei Xinyan's people, and finally found the exact location, and now they have sent people to monitor them closely, just waiting for the master to expose this matter as soon as he finds an opportunity."

Hui Xiang pondered for a moment, and asked in a low voice:

"Where is Wei Xinyan at the moment?"

"I've been living in the north of the city before, but I heard the wind early this morning and left for Shonan."

"Where's Liang Min?"

"The prince has already set off for the return journey earlier, but I'm afraid that these two days should also come, and Wei Xinyan will probably be in vain."

Hui Xiang nodded, was silent for a long time, and said lightly:

"It's business as usual."

"Yes." The man in black replied.

After a while, Hui Xiang spoke again, this time asking a personal question, she frowned rarely, and asked softly:

"The girl who followed Ah Wei, can you find out the details?"

"Yes, it's been checked." When the man in black heard this, he immediately took out a blue booklet from his arms and handed it to her, and replied, "Miss Su is a girl from a civilian family, and in addition to this, she is a good match with our young master in all aspects, but there is one point, this girl has been married before, and the object of marriage is Zhou Cheng, who lost to her in the previous game, and the two are a bit of a distant relative, and they are childhood sweethearts, and later this Zhou Cheng eloped with Miss Su's father's concubine, and this relationship sounds a little chaotic." ”

Hui Xiang was slightly surprised, looked at the blue booklet in his hand, briefly flipped through a few pages, and without saying much, he closed the booklet and lightly instructed the man in black:

"I don't need you, stand down."

"Yes, master." The man in black answered, turned around, and walked through the side door around the corner.

Hui Xiang watched his back disappear into the darkness, holding the blue booklet in his hand, flipping through it cursoryly, then closing it, turning around, and walking towards the pavilion by the lake.

Early in the morning, I mentioned something that surprised Su Miao and almost choked to death: "When the game is over, I will take you to see my mother, who is on the Zhuangzi outside the city." ”

Su Miao was really choked, choking and coughing:

"You, your mother?"

"It's my mother. Although there is still a period of time before the palace finals, there is a lot to prepare, and it is urgent to meet my mother according to the order of priority. Aftertaste was serving porridge for her, and replied as a matter of course.

“…… Well, that's right. Su Miao stiffened in embarrassment for a while, replied curtly, and lowered her head to drink porridge.

There are still three days left before the final round, and Su Miao planned to make good use of these three days, work hard to take a vacation and play hard, but all the happiness was broken by the words of going to see his mother in the morning. After breakfast, Su Miao grabbed Lin Yan, who was about to go for a walk, pulled her away, and asked mysteriously:

"Have you ever heard of Aftertaste?"

"Lord Jiayang? I've heard of it. Although the lord of Jiayang hardly shows up, he is quite famous in Liangdu. Lin Yan replied affirmatively.

"Have you seen her?" Su Miao was so excited that her voice sharpened and asked hurriedly.

"No, I used to go out of the door and didn't step out, how could I have seen her!"

Su Miao was as depressed as a deflated ball, paused, and continued to ask: "Then have you heard of how to reminisce about his mother?" Your Liang Min seems to have a good relationship with his mother, has he ever told you what kind of person his mother is? ”

Lin Yan's head was full of question marks, thought carefully for a while, and shook her head:

"What kind of person he didn't tell me, he rarely mentions this kind of thing, you have to ask what kind of person it is, the prince said a word at the time, exactly the same as Brother Hui, whether it is temperament or eyebrows."

Su Miao blinked her eyes twice, trying to deduce Hui Niang's appearance and personality from the way she recalled her memory, but after calculating, her head became more and more like paste, so she gave up completely.

Seeing this, Lin Yan pursed her lips and smiled, and patted Su Miao's hand: "Don't worry, no matter how terrible my brother's mother is, it will not be more terrible than the mother of the prince, besides, Miaomiao, you must be fine, if anyone marries you as a daughter-in-law, it will definitely be a blessing for the family, if I have a son, I also want a daughter-in-law like you." ”

Su Miao listened, squinted with a smile, and said with a smile: "I love to hear this!" Xiaolinzi, you are getting better and better at talking! ”

Lin Yan pursed her lips and smiled.

The two of them were laughing and wandering in the garden, just turned a strange-shaped rockery, under a leafy ginkgo tree, a slender and straight figure dressed in a black robe, standing tall, hearing footsteps, he turned around, it was a handsome face.

The two were taken aback, and Lin Yan exclaimed in surprise:

"Lord Shizi?!" (To be continued.) )
