Zhou Boyan and Qing Shu walked unhurriedly, their wide sleeves covering their hands holding together. The breeze blows, sending a cool breath to the hot summer, and the bangs and hair of the breeze flutter slightly.

"Do you want to go with me tomorrow?" The inner courtyard was close at hand, and Zhou Boyan asked Qingshu.

"Where's it going?" Qing Shu asked softly.

"Picking wild fruits."

She was moved, but she hesitated.

"What, don't want to go?"

"Even if they go out to play, if they don't take Qingyang with them, they will definitely complain. But tomorrow is not their day off. ”

"What's so hard about that? I'll go and talk to Mr. Lu that tomorrow can be swapped with Mu Xiu. ”

"Cheng, then, you go and talk to Mr., if Mr. agrees, then tell Sù Qingyang them. However, you haven't asked Dr. Zhou yet, do you know where to pick the wild fruit? ”

He turned his face to look at her, "Someone has already asked." ”

She didn't believe it, "Why didn't I know you sent someone out?" "They had been together all along, and if he had sent someone, she would not have known.

"Gu Shi is very clever, not like your maid." In front of the school just now, what he and Qing Shu said, although Gu Shishi stood a little distance, he also listened carefully with his ears pricked up. You don't have to think about it to know that when they left there, Gu Shishi must have taken a wild fruit and ran to find Dr. Zhou.

She was not happy to hear this, "What's wrong with my maid?" My maids are all well-behaved and obedient. ”

He knew he had said the wrong thing. Seeing her glaring at him, he smiled, "Yes, yes." ”

I have already walked to the moon gate in the inner courtyard. She stopped, "I'm going in." ”

"Why don't you invite me in and sit down? The gazebo on the lotus pond is a great place to cool off. ”

She looked back, and the little fish were nowhere to be seen. "Where did these stinky girls go? I didn't come here for half a day! ”

With a smile in his eyes, he looked at her and declared, "I don't eat tea, I don't need snacks or fruits, and I don't need maids to serve me." ”

She muttered a cheeky word and took a step towards the moon gate. The hands of the two people were clasped together, and she moved, and he had to let go if he didn't follow suit. Naturally, he won't let go of his hand. So it became a step difference between the two, and the hands that were held together became as if she was going to drag him away. She didn't look back, shook the hand that was clenched by his big hand, and said angrily, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

Although his tone was not very good, he had already allowed him in, and he was happy, afraid that she would regret it, so he hurried to follow. The two of them became shoulder to shoulder again.

She deliberately did not speak to him, and soon the two of them sat down in the gazebo on the lotus pond.

He approached and asked innocently, "Why did you ignore me?" ”

She wanted to stretch her face for a while, but she couldn't hold back and broke her skills. She couldn't help but smile and pushed his arm, "It's hot, don't get so close to me, go sit opposite." ”

"It's cooler here." He is serious, and those who don't know will believe it.

She glared at him, "You mean, you want me to sit on the other side!" ”

He was afraid that she would turn her face, so he didn't say a word, so he quickly moved to sit opposite, and then said with a sudden expression, "It turns out that it's also cool here." ”

This person, why is his skin getting thicker and thicker! She wanted to scold him, but she couldn't find the right word for a while. In front of him, she didn't pay attention to any image, and was bored and half-knelt on the stone table and asked, "Is the border pass okay?" ”

"It's okay, there's no fighting."

"Where are you going south or where?"

"To the west, Qixia Pass."

She was slightly stunned, "Qixia Pass where Daddy was stationed?" "It's also the place where the general's father died.

"Yes. There has been constant friction since the beginning of spring, and if it is not handled properly, there will be renewed war. My errand was to assist the garrison generals to sit down and negotiate with the opposing generals. ”

"The peace talks were successful?" She was amazed in her heart, how could he even care about such a thing? Could it be that the imperial history still has to participate in military affairs? (One of the duties of the Imperial Historian is to participate in and supervise local military affairs.) It's just that Qing Shu doesn't know, so he is confused. ）

"Yes. It is a blessing for the people that there is no fighting. At that time, the people of both countries lit bonfires and sang and danced until dawn. ”

She was still half-lying on the table, but suddenly reached out a hand to him.

He was puzzled.

She urged, "Hurry up. ”

He was puzzled, but it was rare that she would take the initiative to reach out to him, and he naturally would not miss this rare opportunity. He smiled and reached out, gently squeezing her white hand.

"Thank you for your hard work." With that, she immediately withdrew her hand.

Looking at the empty palm, he froze for a moment.

"I'm also a citizen, and I'm naturally happy that there is no war. Originally, you were an official, and your duty was to share the worries of the people. Even if you contribute to the peace talks, it is still as it should be. However, we officials and the people must have a good relationship, and you officials should be kind to our people, and we people will naturally love you officials. She raised her eyebrows at him, "You see, how qualified my people are, I actually took the initiative to shake hands with you, and deliberately said, 'Thank you for your hard work'." I am a model for the people, and if there is any good thing in the future, you must remember to take care of me as a model for the people. ”

He couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.

She looked away and snickered. Seeing the lotus leaves emerging from the water and the water surface with small ripples under the lotus leaves due to the breeze, I don't know why, she was in a good mood, very good, and wanted to sing. However, all she knew was some modern songs, and she didn't dare to sing them, so she held back.

"Ashu."

"Huh?"

"Xiaojuan is looking over here, do you want her to come over?"

She immediately sat upright, turned her face to look, and found Xiaojuan standing on the edge of the lotus pond. Probably because of the inquiry. She glanced at Zhou Boyan, "I heard that you went to the restaurant on the way back?" ”

"Hmm."

"Gu Shishi didn't enter the mansion with you, it seems that he came back after an hour. Where did he go? ”

"He asked me for some personal business and needed to be away for an hour and a half. I agreed, and I didn't ask where he went. "He replied sincerely, not at all like a fake. Of course, he really didn't know where Gu Shishi went to pick up those three eyeless ones.

She looked incredulous.

"What? Is there something wrong? He thought about going back and asking Gu Shi for details. Earlier, he woke up and heard that Qing Shu was enjoying the cool in front of the school, so he went over, and he didn't have time to ask Gu Shi about it.

She looked at him suspiciously, then beckoned to Xiaojuan.

Xiao Juan saw it, stepped on the plank bridge and walked over. She stopped beside Qing Shu, "The slave maid has seen the young lady and the young lady." ”

Qing Shu looked at Zhou Boyan who turned his face to look at the water after receiving Xiaojuan's salute, and did not ask him to avoid it, but asked Xiaojuan directly, "What do you want to report?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Xiao Juan stole Zhou Boyan's eyes, and there was a look of hesitation on her face. But immediately, she approached Qing Shu and bent down slightly to whisper to Qing Shu.

The expression on Qing Shu's face was very exciting, stunned, annoyed, surprised, resentful, etc., but in the end, he burst out laughing.

Xiao Juan said a few more words, and it seemed that the report was finished, and she retreated behind Qing Shu and stood up.

Zhou Boyan turned his face back and looked at Qing Shu, who was laughing non-stop, "What's so funny?" ”

Qing Shu smiled and looked at Zhou Boyan, "You, hehe...... You, your subordinates are, haha......" She laughed louder and louder, and finally lay on the stone table and laughed.

Although I don't know what she was laughing at, seeing her so happy, Zhou Boyan was also happy. He just stared at her with a smile in his eyes.

After a while, Qing Shu finally stopped laughing and looked for a handkerchief to wipe away her tears. It's just that the handkerchief that I always carry on my body is gone, and I don't know where it fell.

"Miss, if you don't dislike it, use the slave ...... first" Xiaojuan didn't finish her words, she immediately stopped talking, and raised the plain handkerchief in her hand with a dull face, looking at the scene in front of her.

Zhou Boyan leaned forward, holding a royal blue handkerchief and wiping the tears from the corners of Qingshu's eyes.

Qing Shu stared blankly at his handsome face, his mind blank.

"Alright." He said softly, and withdrew his handkerchief into his sleeve, "Say! What makes you so happy? ”

Qing Shu came back to his senses, turned his face a little shyly, and saw the sluggish Xiaojuan at once. Only then did she think of Xiaojuan's cunzài, and her face turned red all of a sudden, "I, I ......" What am I, she doesn't come out of anything now, and complains in her heart that he does things regardless of the occasion.

Zhou Boyan glanced at Xiaojuan lightly, "Go down!" I don't need you to serve you. ”

Xiaojuan responded with an "oh" as if sleepwalking, turned around mechanically, and mechanically grabbed the handkerchief that was not sent out and left the pavilion.

Qing Shu felt that he should have something to ask Xiaojuan, but at this moment, his brain was mushy, and he couldn't remember what he wanted to ask just now. So, she opened her mouth, but she didn't call Xiaojuan back.

Zhou Boyan just looked at her, waiting for her explanation.

The first time a man wiped his tears, it felt a little weird, but it was very sweet. She thought that if she hadn't let Xiaojuan see it right, she would definitely be much calmer. Because it was no one else who wiped her tears, it was a man who liked her and she liked. is cherished and taken care of by her lover, what girl doesn't like it? What girl wouldn't be happy?

She blushed, "Ask your subordinates." ”

"Huh?"

"Ask your subordinates what good things they did today."

He raised his eyebrows, and the look of doubt in his eyes flashed, "You mean the stone?" Or does it refer to Gu Xiaoliu? ”

"Both." She stood up from her seat, "Go back." If Su's mother sees it, I will say that you broke in, not me. ”

He agreed kindly, "Okay, I'll listen to Su's mother's nagging." ”

Hearing this, she chuckled, "You have to talk about it." Then he looked at him, and walked backwards.

"That's nature." As he spoke, he stretched out his long arm and grabbed her wrist, "It's dangerous, what if you fall into the water?" ”

She blinked her beautiful apricot eyes, "Isn't it you?" Will you let me fall into the water? ”

He loved to hear this, and he was very unprincipled and did not stop her behavior. He regarded himself as the flower messenger, grabbed her wrist with one hand, and moved towards the shore with her backward speed.

On the plank bridge on the lotus pond, a man and a woman face to face, holding hands, moving together to the shore in a strange way. During this period, the woman glanced up at the man opposite from time to time, and the man kept looking down at the woman.

Xiao Juan thought she had seen it wrong and rubbed her eyes. Sure it wasn't her dazzled, sure it was real, not a hallucination, she covered her face and turned away. She thought it was wrong, so she took her hand away from her face and looked back. The two of them were still moving slowly, at that speed, I don't know when they will be able to get off the plank bridge.

There was a faint sound of talking.

Xiao Juan reacted immediately and ran in the direction of the inner courtyard door. She is Miss's capable and caring maid, she has to guard the door for Miss, and she must not let anyone ruin Miss's good mood when she is with her son.

Xiaoyu and Xiaoya, who came back together, were intercepted by Xiaojuan outside the gate of the inner courtyard. Xiaojuan opened her arms widely, with a posture of "one husband is the key, ten thousand people are not open".

Xiao Yu held the tray in his hand and stared at the abnormal Xiao Juan in dismay, "What is this?" ”

Xiaoya was even more confused, "Aunt Juan, why don't you let us in?" ”

Xiaojuan hmmed for a long time, and finally spit out, "Miss, Miss asked you to wait outside." ”

The little fish and the little girl with question marks on their faces can only wait. Wait, wait, wait, wait for a while, they waited until Zhou Boyan came out of the inner courtyard.

When the three of them saw this, they automatically got out of the way and stood respectfully to one side.

Zhou Boyan walked by, and when he saw Xiao Yu holding the remaining wild fruit in his hand, he stopped, "Gu Shike took one?" ”

Xiao Yu replied nervously, "Hui Gongzi, yes." ”

"It's okay." Zhou Boyan said, put one hand behind his back, and strode away.

When the others walked out of the distance, the three maids breathed a sigh of relief and entered the inner courtyard.

At this time, Qingshu was squatting on the edge of the vegetable furrow, checking whether the red fruits were ripe.

The little girl jumped over, "Miss, the slave will show you." As she spoke, she knelt down to the edge of the vegetable bed, leaned down with one hand on the ground, and looked in at the branches and leaves under the red fruit.

Qing Shu smiled and moved over a little, "Silly girl, your clothes will get dirty." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just some dirt, and it's clean with a flutter." The little girl said, after observing here, she still knelt and crawled to move away.

In the evening, Gu Shishi came back from outside in a hurry. "Childe, childe, the little one asked, asked."

Zhou Boyan didn't raise his head, sorted out the official document in hand, "What did you ask?" ”

"Wild fruits, the little ones have already asked where they can be picked. The area around the village is definitely gone, but there are in the mountains, and there are only grasses in the mountains where the terrain is flat and treeless. ”

Zhou Boyan's face was neither happy nor angry, and he asked indifferently, "Did you and Gu Xiaoliu do anything good today?" ”

At the mention of this, Gu Shishi didn't pay attention to whether the master's tone was good or bad, and asked with a fluttering eyebrow, "Childe, do you mean that we hung the skinny one upside down to a tree, or did you mean that we threw the squinted pants into the dung pit?" ”

Hearing this, Zhou Boyan's hand unconsciously paused to sort out the official documents.

"Childe, you don't know. Those three scholars were so bad that they sat together and discussed how to poison the well! It's about poisoning the well of the flavor shop. Guess who came up with this bad idea? It's that skinny man. The fat man still has a little conscience, saying that it is absolutely impossible to harm people's lives. Squinted Eyes thought it was a good idea. When the little ones heard it, they naturally wouldn't let them go. "Gu Shike is very busy, and he hasn't taken a sip of water yet.

He ran to the table and poured a cup of herbal tea, drank it in one gulp, ran back and continued, "The sixth prince of Gu said that he would beat them up, and then warn them one or two. The little one thought it was too cheap for them, so he dragged them to a fun place. The thin man hung upside down from a tree and told him to keep learning how to bark. Whenever a passerby passes by, he has to say 'I'm a bastard, I'm going to poison someone, I'm not a thing, I'm a dog thing'. ”

Zhou Boyan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"And the squinted-eyed, small one ripped off his robe, wrote the words 'I want to sell my body' on his back, and asked him to learn to dance with prostitutes outside the town gate. Haha......" Gu Shishi patted his knees and smiled, "You, you don't know, haha...... Yes, a woman wearing a hood passed by and scolded, 'Even this kind of bear dignity dares to come out and sell it, I really want to laugh at the big teeth of the world.' There was a man who spoke more interestingly, 'Are you blind all the women in the world?' 'Haha......"

Zhou Boyan squinted slightly, thinking: Could it be that this is what Ah Shu laughed at?

Gu Shishi laughed enough, ran to drink a cup of herbal tea, and then wiped his mouth, "The sixth prince said that I was damaged." But in a blink of an eye, he actually ripped Squint Eye to the nearby village, and took Squint's pants and threw them into a family's dung pit, and then put Slitted Eye away. Squinting was afraid that people would see that he was not wearing pants, so he hid everywhere and went into the courtyard of a house to steal the pants that he was hanging outside. Just in time for the two eldest sons of the family to be at home, they chased all the way and drove Squint out of the village. ”

"Childe, and that fat man. Guess how we cleaned him up? ”
