Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Summer Blown by the Wind
The courtyard is surrounded by cicadas, and at noon, when it is the hottest time, even the birds hide under the eaves, lazily staring at the flowers and plants outside the window.
In the wing room of the prince's mansion, Ning Yuhe was silent, took off his loose robe, stood behind the screen with only thin pants, and picked up the change of dress.
went out with Xu Buling in the morning, and was assassinated inexplicably, Ning Yuhe naturally couldn't think it didn't happen, and he wondered if it was the Tang family's hand.
But at this moment, the thoughts in my mind have been completely occupied by another matter, and I have no power to think about these things at all.
Sleepy dragon turns into rain, don't look at it, it's hard to look back......
The trapped dragon encountered the rain that moistened all things, so don't look at it......
Xu Buling was trapped by the Lock Dragon Gu, and when she met the Queen Mother who could detoxify, she secretly ran to see it......
Ning Yuhe is a disciple of the Taoist sect, although he became a monk halfway, and Changqingguan does not practice divination and astrology, but he still learned some when he was bored. Originally, it was just a random calculation, but now......
These things are linked, and the more I think about it, the more I feel that it is a coincidence, as if I really responded to that hexagram.
Don't look, you can't turn back after reading it, what does it mean......
Ning Yuhe's eyes were a little panicked, he had been sitting in Changqing Guan for many years, and he thought that he had already cut off Hongchen's love.
But she just sat on horseback, staring at Xu Buling's side face, thinking about those things that shouldn't be thought of by a Taoist priest at all, she had already violated the precepts but didn't know it, and even regretted accepting Xu Buling as an apprentice......
What the hell was going on in my mind?!
Ning Yuhe didn't dare to think about it, but forcibly calmed down, trying to calm himself down - the wood is already in the boat, Ling'er is already my apprentice, and he regards me as the closest master, it is okay to entrust his life for him, and he must not break the ethics of the norm, I ...... How can I think of this......
His thoughts became more and more chaotic, Ning Yuhe's eyes were fluttering, and on his almost flawless white face, there was a bit of imitation that only a woman in the market had, and the indifferent and worldly fairy aura was invisibly lightened.
"Sister Daning, why aren't you wearing a belly pocket? Too hot to be? “
In the slightly stuffy room, Zhu Manzhi was dressed beautifully, poked his head out from the side of the screen, and looked at it curiously.
Ning Yuhe came back to his senses, and only then did he remember this stubble - he didn't want to hurt his shoulder, and he didn't have anything to bandage, so he bandaged him with close-fitting clothes. It's a matter of urgency, and there is no other meaning, just give Xu Buling the injury medicine back when he comes back. But Fang Cai was so distraught that he forgot everything, and when he came back, he entered the house, and Ling'er would not have found out......
Thinking of this, Ning Yuhe pursed his lips, but he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary - Ling'er is a righteous gentleman who understands things, and knows that it is an emergency before he uses underwear to bandage it, and even if he finds out, he will not have any thoughts.
However, it is always a little strange to put the close-fitting belly pocket in the hands of the apprentice.
Ning Yuhe thought about it, she was obviously a little difficult to speak in the past, and she didn't know whether Ling'er would throw it away or send it over, her clothes should not be thrown away, and she was afraid that it would be a little embarrassing if she sent it......
After hesitating for a moment, Ning Yuhe set his eyes on Xiao Manzhi, who pursed his lips next to him and was a little envious, and wanted Zhu Manzhi to ask for it, but when the words came to his mouth, he still changed it to: "Fang just encountered an ambush, Ling'er was injured, my clothes and his clothes were dirty, and they had already thrown ......"
"Oh......"
Zhu Manzhi was suspicious, and the robe was still thrown in his belly pocket, could it be that he encountered an ambush shirtless...... What kind of circumstances does it have to be shirtless with Xu Gongzi......
Ning Yuhe knew that the more he explained, the more troublesome it became, so he put on his dress two or three times, and thought about it:
"Manzhi, after the Dragon Boat Festival, I will go back to Changqingguan, you go with me, or?"
Zhu Manzhi shook the small fan and thought about it, a little reluctant in his eyes:
"Gotta go find my dad, but...... But Xu Gongzi said, come with me when the time comes, I ...... Well...... Why don't we go through the rivers and lakes together? ”
Ning Yuhe actually had nothing to do when he returned to Changqingguan, and he didn't have anything to do in Chang'an for a year and a half, but he was very confused in his heart, and he didn't dare to see Xu Buling at this time......
"Think about it......"
"Sister Daning, do you have something on your mind?"
"No ......"
Ning Yuhe smiled gently, walked to the room and sat down, made a tired appearance, and rubbed his forehead: "I am a little tired, I want to sleep for a while, why don't you go and accompany Xu Gongzi." ”
Zhu Manzhi nodded, but he didn't bother anymore, and shook the small fan out of the wing......
Approaching the height of summer, the temperature in Chang'an City is very high.
Zhu Manzhi didn't find Xu Buling's person in the bedroom and study, so he asked the guard, came to the cellar of the east house, walked down the stone stairs to the bottom, and the cold air came to the surface.
"Hiss~~"
Zhu Manzhi was dressed thinly, and the temperature difference was very great, and he couldn't help but shiver, followed the lights of the tunnel, walked quickly to the deep storage room, and raised his eyes to see Xu Buling chiseling ice cubes with an iron poke, and there were a few watermelons next to him.
Watermelons are passed from the Western Regions, and they are planted more commonly because they are easy to grow, and they are not a rare item, but chilled watermelons are not difficult for princely families to even take a look, mainly because it is too troublesome to store ice cubes.
Zhu Manzhi trotted to the front and looked at the probe:
"Young Master Xu, what are you doing?"
Xu Buling changed into a clean robe, stood in front of the big ice cube and carefully chiseled the ice, put the ice cube and the cut watermelon cube into the watermelon, and handed it to Zhu Manzhi: "Here you go." ”
Zhu Manzhi looked at half of the watermelon that was bigger than her face, and took it a little shyly.
Xu Buling sat on a small couch in the basement for him to recuperate, sharpened a bamboo stick as a fork, and handed it to Zhu Manzhi.
Zhu Manzhi grinned, sat next to Xu Buling and held the watermelon and chewed slowly, his legs swaying and kicking the hem of his skirt:
"Sister Daning seems to be in a hurry to leave, and as soon as she leaves, I will be left alone, Xu Gongzi said to accompany me to find my father, huh...... When is it? ”
Xu Buling pondered for a moment: "It should be soon, but I have to go back to Suzhou first." ”
Zhu Manzhi sighed and thought for a while: "Actually, I'm not in a hurry, my father is so powerful, if you can't find it, nothing will happen...... It's quite interesting to be with Xu Gongzi, that is, ...... Well, it feels weird, I said it was a doorman, and I couldn't help, I couldn't take care of the house, I couldn't help clean it, but the palace was too big, and I swept it for several days before I cleaned up a few yards......"
Xu Buling raised his eyebrows: "We are brothers of the opposite sex, come to live in my brother's house, and there is the best beauty in the world to sleep with you, just enjoy happiness obediently, you don't have to do anything." ”
“……”
Zhu Manzhi took a small bite of watermelon, rolled his big eyes a few times, and suddenly whispered, "I'm sorry...... You have to have an identity to be able to live a peaceful life, just like patrolling the streets in Tianziying......"
Xu Buling was a little helpless, looking at her little arms and legs: "What identity can you do?" Doorman? Chamberlain? Touts? ”
Zhu Manzhi looked left and right, there was a black hole in the cellar, and there was no one around, so he twisted and said, "Otherwise, ...... Or...... Alas, forget it, eat watermelon. He raised his hand and inserted a piece of watermelon with a bamboo skewer and handed it to Xu Buling's mouth.
Xu Buling raised her eyebrows, stared at her big eyes very seriously, and did not move.
“……”
The cellar was already quiet, but now there was no sound.
Zhu Manzhi looked at each other for a moment, then felt a little restless, his eyes dodged, and he took back the watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth.
Xu Buling squinted slightly, a little unhappy:
"It's for me."
"Huh?"
Zhu Manzhi held the watermelon piece in his mouth and looked at Xu Buling blankly.
Xu Buling raised her chin slightly and motioned for her to send it over herself.
It's a pity that Zhu Manzhi didn't understand this, and after hesitating for a moment, he took the watermelon into his mouth and swallowed it in two bites, and was a little proud:
"You don't want it, it's not there now~"
“?”
Xu Buling nodded, raised his hand and picked up a piece of ice particle, which flicked into the collar of Zhu Manzhi, who was giggling, with great precision.
Zhu Manzhi was caught off guard, the cold stimulation rolled down from the collar, and she was so shocked that she almost threw the watermelon, stood up and jumped, trying to shake the ice particles out, and complained with a little annoyance on her face:
"Xu Gongzi, why are you like this~ Good ice, good ice, good ice ......"
A certain part of the collapse is relatively tight, and the waves are swaying, but the ice is stuck there and can't go down.
Zhu Manzhi hurriedly put down the watermelon, raised his hand and wanted to reach into the placket to take it out, but when he raised his eyes, he found Xu Buling staring at her with a smile.
“……”
Zhu Manzhi's hand froze on the placket, his face turned red and stared at Xu Buling, he didn't dare to make a move, turned around and ran out, just took a few steps, remembered something, turned around and picked up the watermelon, and then hurriedly ran out.
"This girl ......"
Xu Buling shook his head and chuckled, but he didn't know how to describe it......
