Chapter Seventy-Nine: Peach Blossom Garden
The dream pedestrians followed the thin man leading the way through a garden and stopped in front of a courtyard planted with peach blossoms.
"Sons, you will rest here these days, if there is any need, ring the bell in the courtyard, and someone will come to serve."
Meng Zhou hugged his fists and said, "Okay, thank you for this little brother." ”
"Childe is polite."
Seeing the man's figure disappear around the corner, Meng Zhou immediately grabbed Heshan's arm and said, "My foot hurts, help me." ”
Seeing this, Xiaokong immediately said nervously: "Dream Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" ”
Mengzhou: "It's okay, I broke my foot yesterday and it didn't heal, and I just had some pain today." ”
Heshan said: "I just told you not to hold on, it's okay now, maybe you will be paralyzed in bed in the next few days." ”
"Tsk, can you hope I get better." Meng Zhou suddenly felt a tightness on her waist as she spoke, and her body instantly lost weightless, and she hurriedly exclaimed, "What are you doing, let me down." ”
Jing Rong tightened his arms and said in a deep voice, "Don't move." He said and glanced at Xiao Kongdao: "Open the door." ”
Meng Zhou was stunned, hugged Jing Rong's neck and stammered and explained: "That, I may have just walked too much and felt a little uncomfortable, in fact, I got much better after taking the medicine last night, and now my feet really don't hurt, that, you let me down, if you let others see it, it's not good." ”
Jing Rong's face did not change and said, "Others have already seen it." ”
Heshan behind him coughed lightly, and grabbed Xiao Kongdao, who continued to follow Jing Rong: "Go this way, what are you going to do there?" ”
Xiaokong stubbornly said: "But Meng Gongzi is injured, I have to go and take a look." ”
Heshan grabbed the collar of the little empty coat and said as he walked away: "Look at what, you don't want to look, come and stay obediently." ”
"Oh."
In the room, Meng Zhou glanced at Jing Rong, who was half-kneeling in front of him, and shrunk his feet and said, "That, I'm really fine, and it doesn't hurt at all now." ”
Jing Rong looked at Meng Zhou and said, "Really?" ”
Meng Zhou's busy chick nodded like a peck of rice.
"Then you prove it to me."
"Tsk, why don't you believe it?" Meng Zhou said and took off his shoes, rolled down his shirt to expose his ankles, and said, "Look, it's almost good." ”
Jing Rong opened the porcelain medicine bottle and said unhurriedly: "Well, it's almost good." He said and held Mengzhou's ankle and gently rubbed it: "As long as you stay in peace, this medicine will be effective, and it will be better tomorrow and tomorrow." ”
Meng Zhou blushed and said, "I want to settle down, isn't this not allowed by the situation." On that occasion just now, it was natural to show momentum. ”
"Momentum?" Jing Rong said and pressed the wound of Mengzhou and asked, "What momentum?" ”
"Ahhh
Jing Rong said: "You still know that it hurts." ”
Meng Zhou haha: "I know, you are for my good, I promise, today and tomorrow will definitely stay in peace." As soon as she finished speaking, there were several urgent exclamations outside the hospital.
"What's wrong, what's going on outside?"
Jing Rong pushed Meng Zhou's head to poke out, a little helpless: "Sit down, be careful of falling down, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Jing Rong pushed open the door and saw a little girl in a red dress standing in the courtyard, accompanied by a little maid, and the two were jumping up and down to reach the kite on the tree.
Hearing the sound, the little girl in red turned around and saw Jing Rong standing under the eaves, as if she had been pointed, still as if she had been pointed. After a few seconds, the little girl in red reacted, immediately retracted her hands and feet, and glanced at the maid beside her.
The little maid received the master's meaning, and immediately nodded and took a few steps forward to hand over the thin stick in her hand and said, "This son, our young lady's kite accidentally fell in your yard, can you please help pick it up." ”
Jing Rong took the stick, flipped it a few times, and the kite fell with the peach blossoms.
The little girl in red leaned over and said, "Thank you for this son." ”
"It doesn't matter."
The young lady in red said softly: "Yue'er, take the kite, let's go." ”
"Yes, miss."
Out of the courtyard gate, the little girl in red covered her heart and leaned against the wall, as if she had been twitched. Frightened, the little maid hurriedly threw the kite in her hand, held her and said, "Miss, what's wrong with you, but what's uncomfortable?" ”
"What should I do, Yue'er, I feel like my heart is going to jump out now."
"Miss, you, you won't fall in love with that boy just now, will you?"
"What do you call again?"
The little maid scratched her head and said, "But Miss, didn't you say that you wanted to marry that scholar in Dongshi a few days ago?" You're getting too fast, too. ”
"Oh, I told you that you don't understand, anyway, I'm going to go to my brother now to have a good look."
"Second master, Miss Min'er is here."
Hearing this, Liu Yi hurriedly put down the tea and got up and said, "Just say I'm not there, out..." ”
"Brother~"
Liu Yi raised his head and glanced at the human: "Didn't you marry that scholar if you didn't eat or drink in the room?" How to give it up. ”
"Oh, don't people want to open it?"
Liu Yi snorted lightly and said, "You want to drive quite fast this time." ”
Lu Min'er sighed and said: "Hey, don't hide it from my brother, I've been thinking about it a lot in the past few days, thinking about it, I think my brother is right, I and that scholar are really not in the right household, I'm used to being arrogant, if I really marry in the past, I must not be able to endure the hardship." When the time comes, it will be unsatisfactory. ”
"You're pretty self-aware." Liu Yi beckoned as he spoke, and said to the attendants beside him: "Go, find someone to inform the scholar, and say that Shen Min'er let him go, so that he doesn't have to hide every day." ”
Shen Min'er stomped her feet and said angrily: "Brother, I'll talk to you about serious things." ”
Liu Yi said perfunctorily: "Well, you say, I'll listen." ”
Shen Min'er sat beside Liu Yi and whispered, "Brother, I'll inquire with you about someone." ”
As soon as Liu Yi heard this opening, he suddenly became one head and two big: "It's started again, it's started again, you see the problem of loving one and the other, brother, I don't ask you to change, but you are so good that you have to have a buffer period." My eldest lady, you tell me to stop and stop. ”
Shen Min'er said coquettishly: "Brother, I'll just ask a few questions, I'll leave after asking, and then you can talk about it after you hear it." ”
"Who, who is it this time?"
Shen Min'er suddenly came to her senses, "It's..."
"The second master, the person is coming."
Liu Yi got up and patted Shen Min'er and said, "My brother has something urgent to deal with, you wait for me to come back and talk about it." ”
"Hey, brother, I can't wait."
"You've not been like that once, let go."
"This time it's really not good, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will not come again."
Liu Yi turned his head to look around, casually pointed to a close attendant and said, "You accompany the young lady to have a look." ”
"Yes."
Shen Min'er suddenly became happy, and shouted at Liu Yi's back: "Thank you, second brother, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner." ”
"Got it."
At the end of the morning, Meng Zhou was sitting at the table tinkering with those medicines, when he saw Heshan Shen mysteriously walking in, looking like he was watching a good show.
"How's your medication?"
Meng Zhou said: "Like those pharmacists, there is no progress. ”
Heshan glanced at the medicines, leaned in front of the window and raised his voice: "Hey, the scenery by the window of your house is very good, yo, isn't that Brother Huai." ”
"As soon as you entered the house, you were mysterious, and now you are yin and yang, what are you doing?"
Heshan said in surprise: "Hey, why haven't I seen the little girl next to him before, don't say it, she looks pretty good." ”
Meng Zhou put down his hand and said, "What little girl? ”
"You'll find out if you come and see."
Meng Zhou got up and jumped twice, leaned against the window and looked over, and saw Jing Rong and a little girl in pink sitting at the table without knowing what they were talking about, which made the little girl shy.
Heshan glanced at Mengzhou and said slowly: "No wonder when I was delivering food, a little maid asked me about Brother Huai's preferences, and it turned out that she was waiting here." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Well, that little girl, the kite landed in this courtyard in the morning, and I came here once. Later, within an hour, someone came to collect the preferences of Brother Huai, I was still strange, and now I see this little girl I understand, dare to love this is love at first sight for Brother Huai. ”
"What nonsense are you talking to the little girl?"
Heshan spread his hands and said: "I didn't say anything, I just said it casually according to my usual preferences." Heshan said and leaned out to the window and said, "Look, that little girl is gone." ”
Meng Zhou turned his head and said, "Let's go, what's there to see." ”
"Tsk, the problem is that Brother Huai also went out with him."
Meng Zhou immediately turned around, "Where are you going?" ”
Heshan retracted his body and said slowly: "Let's go, what's there to pay attention to, have you finished dispensing medicine?" As soon as Heshan's words fell, there was a sudden pain in his feet, "Mengzhou, your uncle." ”
The sun set, and Jing Rong came back with a box of pastries. Seeing Xiaokong in the courtyard, he handed it to him casually and asked, "Xiaokong, where is the dream boy." ”
"Menggongzi stayed in the house all afternoon studying those herbs, and he hasn't come out yet."
Jing Rong glanced at the candle flame in Mengzhou's house and said, "I know, go find your brother Heshan." ”
"Okay."
"I'm back."
Hearing Jing Rong's voice, Meng Zhou didn't raise his head to stir up the herbs in his hand. Jing Rong poured a cup of tea and said, "I heard Xiaokong say that you have been studying these herbs all afternoon. ”
"Yes."
"If you can't hold it for so long, let's rest first."
"No, you don't."
Jing Rong frowned and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Meng Zhou replied expressionlessly, "It's okay." ”
"Dream Childe."
Hearing this, Meng Zhou raised his head and smiled: "Xiaokong is here, sit there first, I'll clean up here." ”
"Meng Gongzi, this is the pastry that Huai Zhigongzi just got back, come and taste it."
Meng Zhou cleaned up the medicinal herbs and said, "I won't eat it, you can eat it." ”
Heshan threw a piece of pastry in his mouth, snorted and said, "Don't pay attention to her, she has eaten quite well this afternoon, and she is not hungry." Heshan's expression changed as he spoke, "What kind of cake is this!" ”
Xiaokong took a bite and said, "Peach blossom cake, don't you like Brother Heshan?" ”
"What I hate the most is the pie with flowers as the filling, and it is uncomfortable to eat."
Meng Zhou snorted and said, "You deserve it, and it's not for you to eat." She poured a glass of water for Heshan and said, "Spit out the outside yard." ”
Xiaokong said: "Why doesn't Brother Heshan like flower cakes?" ”
"He, who knows, he seems to be born with a rejection of these things, those who use flowers as ingredients, make pastries, and use medicine, he" Meng Zhou said and suddenly stopped.
Jing Rong said, "What's wrong?" ”
"I see." Meng Zhou said and grabbed Jing Rong's sleeve and said excitedly: "I know what's missing in these herbs. ”
On the second day, before noon, Shen Min'er carried the basket into Taoyuan.
"The son of Huai.
Hearing Shen Min'er's delicate voice, the stinging dream was full of excitement. Seeing Meng Zhou's appearance, Heshan smiled and threw a fruit into his mouth and said, "I didn't expect this Shen girl to be quite attentive to Brother Huai." He said, leaning against the window and watching the play, and said, "You don't come and take a look." ”
"If you're really curious, go outside and take a good look, and don't disturb me in my house."
"Tsk, the two of them are in that storm, what is the matter with me in the past." Heshan said in an excited tone: "Oh, it's done, sure enough, Brother Huai is easy to talk with such a face, and his beauty is misleading." Heshan turned his head as he spoke: "Do you say, dreams, huh, people?" ”
Outside the courtyard, Jing Rong was talking to Shen Min'er when he saw a figure dangling in the afterglow.
"The son of Huai, the son of Huai."
"Huh?"
Shen Min'er said coquettishly: "What was Childe looking at just now, so fascinated." ”
Jing Rong looked at Meng Zhou, who was dangling under the peach tree, and pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It's nothing, I just think the peach blossoms in this garden are particularly beautiful." ”
"Huai's son likes peach blossoms." Shen Min'er said and tilted her body beside Jing Rong and said, "Coincidentally, Min'er also likes peach blossoms." ”
Jing Rong turned his gaze back and said, "Really? ”
Shen Min'er nodded and said, "Of course"
"According to the second master's love for Miss Min'er, if you like it, the peach blossom scene in your courtyard must be more beautiful than here."
Shen Min'er sighed and said, "It would be nice if it was like that, but unfortunately, I can only plant some grass in my yard that is easy to feed and add spring." But it's also strange to say, not only in my courtyard, but also in several surrounding courtyards, but after these courtyards, this flower will be planted and bloomed, which is really unpredictable. Shen Min'er said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Huaizhi Gongzi, am I talking too much." ”
Jing Rong smiled and said, "No, it's a good thing that Miss Min'er is good at talking." ”
Shen Min'er suddenly became a little embarrassed when she heard this, "It's the first time someone has praised me like this, Gongzi Huai, you are so good." ”
Before Shen Min'er's words fell, she heard a call from the side, and then Jing Rong's hurried figure flashed in front of her.
"Don't be careful how you walk, it's not hurt."
Meng Zhou put his hand on Jing Rong's arm and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not stuffy in the house, come out to breathe." ”
"Get up first, slow down."
Meng Zhou got up with Jing Rong's strength, looked at Shen Min'er at the table and said, "This is Miss Shen." ”
Shen Min'er was puzzled: "You know me?" ”
Meng Zhou waved his hand and said: "Harm, even if I didn't know it before, just hearing about it in the past two days, I can guess eight or nine times out of ten." ”
Shen Min'er: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Meng Zhou jumped twice and sat at the table and said with a smile: "I, I grew up with Brother Huai, and I know everything about him, where is Brother Huai's mind in the past two days, and I still don't know as a brother?" ”
Jing Rong glanced at Meng Zhou and said, "Really? I didn't know you had such a skill. ”
Meng Zhou: "Tsk, what you said made Miss Shen think that I was bluffing others when she heard it, did you say yes, Miss Shen?" ”
When Shen Min'er heard this, she was slightly stunned, and two blush instantly flew on her cheeks.
Mengzhou said: "By the way, I patronized and spoke, and I haven't officially said hello to Miss Shen yet, in the next Mengzhou." ”
"The little girl Shen Min'er has seen Meng Zhou Gongzi."
Meng Zhou smiled: "Miss Shen is polite. Meng Zhou said, his eyes swept over Jing Rong and stopped at Shen Min'er and said, "Miss Shen is really as outstanding in appearance and temperament as she has heard below, which is beyond the comparison of ordinary daughters. ”
Shen Min'er glanced at Jing Rong, lowered her head and bit her lip and said, "Mengzhou Gongzi is too famous, where is Min'er as good as you say." ”
"Yes, naturally, Miss Shen is so delicate and cute, presumably this person who comes to the door to ask for marriage will step on the threshold of this Shui Yang Gang."
Shen Min'er's voice became lower and lower, "No." ”
Meng Zhou sighed and said, "But also, if there is a sister like Miss Shen below, as an elder brother, I will definitely be reluctant to give you to others easily." ”
Shen Min'er said: "My brother won't, especially my second brother, he can't wait for me to marry." As for my eldest brother, he used to run business outside, and I didn't often do it, but he was also good to me. It's just that I'm closer to my second brother. ”
Meng Zhou poured a cup of tea and said: "No wonder we haven't seen the big boss in the past few days." ”
Shen Min'er said: "But counting the days, my eldest brother is also coming back from Zhou'an Mountain." ”
Meng Zhou said: "Really? If we are lucky, maybe we can meet again and appreciate the style of this poplar gang leader. ”
Shen Min'er wrenched her fingers and said, "Soon, my eldest brother will come back soon after dealing with the gang affairs over there, and I will take you to see him when the time comes." ”
Meng Zhou hugged his fists and said, "Then thank you Miss Shen." ”
"Mengzhou Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, by the way, I forgot to patronize and talk, I also made some pastries and brought them over, and the two sons tasted them." Shen Min'er opened the box as she spoke, took out a plate of pastries, and carefully handed it to Jing Rong and said, "Huaizhi Gongzi, you taste it, whether it is delicious or not." ”
"Thank you."
"No, you're welcome." Shen Min'er said and pushed the plate towards Mengzhou's side and said, "Mengzhou Gongzi, you can eat it too." ”
"Yes, thank you." Meng Zhou said and stuffed a piece in his mouth, who knew that the pastry was dry and hard, and I didn't know what strange things were sandwiched in the middle, first it was astringent, and then it was full of spiciness. She was busy pouring a glass of water and wanted to rush down, but she drank a little tightly, and she choked for a while.
Jing Rong helped Meng Zhou to smooth her out, and said helplessly: "You slow down, no one will rob you." ”
Shen Min'er on the side saw this situation, and while people were not paying attention, she silently reached out and pinched a piece of pastry and stuffed it into her mouth, and her expression changed immediately.
Meng Zhou stroked his chest and straightened up, waving his hand: "It's okay, I just choked on drinking water." I'm sorry, Miss Shen, for making you laugh. ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Min'er stood up as she spoke, put the plate of pastries into the basket and said, "That, I suddenly remembered that I still had something to do today, so I left first, by the way, this pastry is a little cold, not very delicious, I'd better take it back first, and I'll make some fresh tomorrow and send it to the two sons to taste." ”
After Shen Min'er finished speaking, she turned around and walked a few steps, then turned around and took away the piece of pastry that Jing Rong had put on the table that had not been moved, and said with a weak smile: "It's cold, it's not delicious when it's cold, I'll take this with me." ”
"Miss Shen walks slowly."
After Shen Min'er left, Meng Zhou's tone was really smooth, "I always thought that my skills were poor, but I didn't expect that outsiders would be outside the world, and today I can be regarded as a long insight." ”
Jing Rong smiled: "Is it so unpalatable?" ”
"You just be glad that I tested the poison for you, if I knew that Shen Min'er still had such a hand, I wouldn't have come to kill me."
"So, you're here for purpose."
Meng Zhou touched his nose and said: "Who said that I came here specifically, I saw that you couldn't say anything, and I came here in a hurry." ”
Jing Rong said, "Oh, I see. ”
Meng Zhou coughed and changed the subject: "What did you ask?" ”
Jing Rong took out two maps from his arms and compared: "This map is the full map of the status of the Shui Yang Gang, and this one was drawn by the gathering of places I passed by yesterday." ”
Meng Zhou looked at it and said: "Except for the two missing places in the east and south, the rest of the picture is not much different from the original picture." What, is there something wrong with this picture? ”
Jing Rong pointed as she spoke: "Shen Min'er mentioned to me today that she can't plant flowers in her yard, she can only plant some grass that is easy to raise. But walking along the outside of this semicircle, this situation no longer exists. ”
"You're saying there's something wrong with the place where the semicircle is enclosed?"
Jing Rong nodded and said, "Not only that, but combined with what you said yesterday, if the flowers that are missing in the preparation of those herbs are likely to be those flowers that we have seen in the firewood room of Shaoguang Hall, then this place has to be suspicious." ”
Meng Zhou nodded to the drawings and said, "It seems that this place is going to be explored." ”
