105. Apologize
The Rainbow Spring Courtyard is finally quiet again, the girls can come out and walk around generously again, and the people under the maids don't have to worry anymore, even the spring seems to be stronger because Junliang was left in the Jiuxiao Pavilion by Mrs. Fengqi, only one night's work, the green grass everywhere has emerged, the branches everywhere have grown new leaves at the same time, and one or two of the accumulated buds have taken the lead in blooming.
Ping'er took Nai Wen to take out Zhuo Xi's futon to dry, and the two of them were talking and laughing while shaking the quilt, when there was a sound outside the door, "Is Miss Zhuo Xi here?" ”
The two looked at each other curiously, who could it be? And it's a man, and we don't know anyone here! Ping'er opened the door while thinking, and when she saw the person standing outside the door, Ping'er was not calm.
"Yes Jun...... O good son! Looking at Junliang who was shaking her head and standing outside the door, Ping'er was a little weak-hearted, and she didn't know if Junliang had come to settle accounts with them.
"Is Miss Zhuo Xi here?" Junliang asked, and walked straight inside.
"Girl...... The girl is planting branches in the back garden. Ping'er gave Nai Wen a look, and Nai Wen nodded knowingly, turned around and ran towards the back garden.
"Cuttings? Why do you girls like to do all this kind of work that people do? Junliang asked disdainfully.
"No, the girl has just finished warming up the book, so she should take a break when she goes to the branches." Ping'er explained, "Junliang Gongzi, sit in the house, and the slave maid will make tea for you." Ping'er said that she wanted to take Junliang into the house.
"No need, I'll go to the back garden to see how you girls cut branches, promise, go!" Junliang beckoned back, and then walked to the back garden with his hands behind his back.
In the spring, when the branches are green, they are broken off and inserted in the water, and within a few days they will grow roots, and then they will be inserted into the soil, and the branches will start to grow like any other tree.
"Girl, let's put more branches in this back garden, there will be a green shade in the summer, and we will have a place to enjoy the shade." Pan'er poured a scoop of water on the freshly planted branches, wiped the sweat on her head and said.
"It's going to be next summer, and it's good that this freshly planted branch will grow as tall as you this year." Zhuo Xi said and compared her height with her hand on Pan'er's head.
While the two were talking, they saw Nai Wen running over in a hurry, "Girl, it's not good, Junliang is here!" Nai Wen shouted at Zhuo Xi as soon as she saw her.
"Junliang Gongzi, what is he doing here?" Pan'er straightened up and asked strangely.
"I don't know, he said he was looking for a girl, and this will be coming to the back garden."
"It's okay, Naiwen, what should we do, we'll see what he's going to do?" Zhuo Xi said calmly.
After a while, Junliang took Nuo with him, and when he saw Zhuo Xi, he said with a smile on his face: "Oh, Miss Zhuo Xi is busy here?" ”
"Junliang Gongzi, Zhuo Xi is polite!" After Zhuo Xi saw Junliang, he straightened his clothes a little and saluted Junliang.
Junliang was a little surprised, and also arched his hand and said, "Miss Zhuo Xi is polite!" ”
"It's rare for Childe to visit, please come with me to the front room and sit down, Naiwen, go and prepare tea." Zhuo Xi arranged.
"Oh, no, no, I really can't sit still in the house, there are too many rules. It's so nice here, it's so exciting, and there's so much to see. Junliang pointed around and said.
Beauty? Pan'er and Nai Wen glanced at each other, it was bare, and there were a few branches sparsely inserted on the ground, only the thick branches of chopsticks, and the leaves were still drooping, which could also be regarded as a beautiful scenery.
"What Childe said is that there is a sweet smell of the mountains flowing here, and when you look up, you will see the unrestrained white clouds, and the breeze will blow, which is even more refreshing. Since Childe doesn't like the politeness in the house, then forgive Zhuo Xi for being rude, and I'll entertain Childe here! Zhuo Xi also looked around and responded to Junliang lightly.
The two maids were confused when they heard it, is the girl catering to this little demon king of the mixed world?
Junliang stretched out his thumb to Zhuo Xi and said with a smile: "Miss Zhuo Xi's insight is really unusual, I felt that you were not an ordinary woman on the night of the Fuliu Meeting!" Like those girls, they will only hide in the house and sing and play all day, and they don't care about the beautiful scenery around them at all. ”
Zhuo Xi asked the maids to bring tables and chairs, and after pouring a cup of tea himself, he respectfully picked it up and said to Junliang: "Zhuo Xi has never had time to visit Gongzi, today I toast Gongzi with tea instead of wine, in order to thank Gongzi for his righteousness and straightforwardness that day, it is Zhuo Xi who is free from the pain of displacement!" ”
Several maids looked at Zhuo Xi in surprise, and after listening to Zhuo Xi's words, they realized that the girl was not taken away at the Fuliu meeting, but it was actually Junliang's help.
After the girls of Rainbow Spring Courtyard saw Junliang, none of them were like mice seeing cats, they couldn't hide, who would say such things to him seriously, and no one would respect him so much like Zhuo Xi. Junliang was a little at a loss for a while, hurriedly took the teacup, shook his head and said: "Miss Zhuo Xi is polite, I just pushed the boat down the river to help a few words, if you want to say thank you, you should thank my aunt, she appreciates you, so she kept you." ”
Sure enough, it was the same as I guessed, but why did Mrs. Fengqi leave herself? Is it just appreciation?
Zhuo Xi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "I heard that the prince has moved to Mrs. Fengqi's Jiuxiao Pavilion, I don't know what happened to visit me today?" ”
Junliang's face twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "As for me, I'm used to running outside when I'm at home, and I just felt bored and panicked a few days ago, and I wanted to go around, but I didn't expect to scare the girls here enough." Today, I was ordered by my aunt to bring gifts to make amends to them, but I didn't expect them to hide far away when they saw me one by one, and they didn't even let the door in. I ate a circle of closed-door soup, and you were the first to invite me in for tea! After speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a big sip.
A few maids secretly covered their mouths and laughed beside them, and said in their hearts: You deserve it, who makes you always love to play tricks on people all day!
Junliang glanced at the few people next to him who couldn't help laughing, and asked Zhuo Xi, "Don't you still have a maid here?" Why didn't you see her? ”
"Oh, Li Yue went outside to get some things, and I guess I'll be back in a while." Zhuo Xi replied.
"Yes, your maid is not ordinary!" Junliang said meaningfully.
Zhuo Xi smiled lightly, refilled the tea for Junliang, and said: "Li Yue, she is diligent in her hands and feet, and she works neatly, and I will hand over some of the work that needs to run here to her." ”
Junliang narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, this maid, but my aunt specializes in ......"
"It turned out that Junliang Gongzi came, and the slave maid just went to get the lamp oil for the past two days, and it happened that some new dried apricots were brought in from the preparation department, and the slave and maid presented it to the son." With a crisp sound, everyone turned their heads and saw Li Yue walking over with a plate of dried apricots with a smile.
Li Yue put the plate on the table and said softly, "Please taste it!" But looking at Junliang's gaze, it suddenly became gloomy and sharp.
Junliang was shocked by this look, and couldn't help but shut up and stop talking, Mom, this look is the same as his aunt's, it can kill people!
Li Yue continued: "Childe, it's noon, so you can stay here for lunch!" ”
Junliang tilted his head and looked at Li Yue, and asked, "What kind of dishes are they?" ”
"What does the son want to eat, the slave and the maid will go to the kitchen and order, in addition, the slave and the maid will ask for a dish of oil and spicy sauce for you, but I don't know if the son eats or not." Li Yue still said softly.
Hearing this, Junliang's face changed suddenly, and his throat actually itched again, and then he coughed several times. And a few maids next to him bit their lips even more to prevent themselves from laughing.
Zhuo Xi hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, and said with a chuckle: "Childe, drink another cup of tea, don't choke on dried apricots." ”
Junliang waved his hand and said, "No, no, your things here are good, but I can't get used to eating them, so I won't bother, say goodbye!" After saying that, he got up and greeted Nuoyi and walked to the door.
Several people were smiling with their eyes behind Junliang's back, but they didn't expect Junliang to stop when he walked to the door, turned around and said, "Miss Zhuo Xi, I'll come back in two days!" The words were for Zhuo Xi, but the eyes were looking at Li Yue.
Zhuo Xi smiled and said, "Waiting for you at any time." ”
At night, Junliang lay on the bed but didn't feel sleepy at all, his head rested on his hands, looked at the top of the bed and muttered: "Junliang, Junliang, you call Zhongshan Xiaoyaolong, why can't you even fight a little girl?" When I was with my brothers and sisters, which brother was not afraid of me, and which brother didn't avoid me? Whether it's martial arts or evil rectification, who am I afraid of with my means? But now......" Junliang frowned in confusion, "Why did you plant it in the hands of a little girl?" ”
"Hmph, isn't it just a little girl, it's just an eyeliner that my aunt planted next to Zhuo Xi, what's so scary? No identity, no status, looks? It's a little bit good-looking....." Junliang closed his eyes and recalled Li Yue's appearance, but when he thought of Li Yue's death-staring eyes, he didn't dare to think about it anymore, opened his eyes vigorously, gasped and said, "It's over, it's over, I'm afraid of a little girl, what can I do?" If you let the brothers and sisters know about this, won't they laugh their teeth off? ”
I don't know how long it took to toss and turn, Junliang suddenly excited, "Anyway, it's boring to be idle for a day, so it's better to tease that little girl and take her if it's okay..... Practice your courage, hehe, it's not boring now. And she's just a maid, and I don't provoke my aunt's girls, so my aunt shouldn't punish me again, right? ”
Mrs. Fengqi was quite satisfied with Junliang's recent performance, either playing chess with Nuo Yi in the room, in fact, he didn't know how to play chess, he just grabbed a chess piece and stood far away and endured it in the chess box, or he ran to Fengqi's library to find books, he was looking for books just to compare which book was the best bamboo piece. But there are always hours or two in a day when he is nowhere to be seen, but as long as he doesn't cause trouble, Mrs. Fengqi will turn a blind eye and let him go.
