Chapter 0013 It's Spicy, It's Sweet, It's Warm
Fang Jue watched the Fang Mansion come and go every day, these people are here to talk about dialects, or to give gifts, or to ask for officials, the so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, Jiangning County Taishou Liu Yue has fallen, of course, the new Taishou dialect must cultivate some of its own forces, so that it can be used handy. Fang Jue didn't like these very much. Fang Jue unconsciously came to Mu Dongge's courtyard again.
"You're here."
"Yes, I'm here."
"The Fang Mansion has been very lively these days."
"Yes, the old man's dialect has been promoted to Jiangning County, and there are naturally a lot of people who come to stammer."
Mu Dongge said very plainly, Fang Jue answered very casually, and the two seemed to be friends who had known each other for a long time.
"Here, this is what I brought to you."
The dialect passed over a mask, also white. Mu Dongge hesitated for a while, but still took the mask.
"If you don't put it on, if it doesn't fit, I'll change it tomorrow."
Mu Dongge turned around and hesitantly put on the mask, and then slowly turned around.
"It's pretty, it's just..."
"Just what?"
Mu Dongge asked suddenly, she seemed to care a little about what Fang Jue said, and her tone was actually a little nervous.
"It's just that I can't see whether you're happy or worried, and I don't even know your name."
Mu Dongge eased his nerves this time, and thought that there was really something wrong with him wearing a mask. It turned out that the person in front of him wanted to say his name, and he had been in Fangfu for a while, and he had never been in contact with anyone else, maybe this person really didn't know his name.
Mu Dongge suddenly took off his mask, and then put it on the stone table in the pavilion, looking at the somewhat dry pond on the side.
"Does the name really matter? Just like this pond, there is no water, no fish, no lotus flowers that should bloom, it can no longer be called a pond. ”
"Is it possible that with water, fish, and lotus flowers, it can turn back into a pond?"
Mu Dongge looked at Fang Jue with some puzzlement, she didn't know if Fang Jue understood what she meant, deliberately pretended not to understand, or really didn't understand.
"Perhaps."
Mu Dongge just moved the corners of his mouth, and a bitter smile flashed.
The scene suddenly became a little embarrassing, Mu Dongge turned his head, and Fang Jue couldn't see Mu Dongge's expression.
There was a loud bang, and the weather changed. This is the first time Fang Jue has seen rain when he comes here. The thunder was so loud that Mu Dongge trembled with fright.
"It's going to rain, aren't you going back?" Mu Dongge said suddenly.
"I haven't cleaned yet, so I'd better wait for the rain to stop and go back when I'm done."
Fang Jue deliberately found a reason, it was boring to go back, he was also a lonely person, at least someone else had someone to talk to, although the scene was a little embarrassing.
Bang, the summer rain is coming, and the sky suddenly becomes dark, which is rare and refreshing.
Mu Dongge reached out and touched the rain curtain that fell from the cyan bricks and tiles of the pavilion, ticking and ticking, his expression was so sluggish.
Fang Jue suddenly braved the heavy rain and ran out, Mu Dongge just wanted to stop, but Fang Jue disappeared into the rain curtain by himself, the rain was very heavy, blurring Mu Dongge's vision, the rain was very loud, and her shouts were in vain.
Vaguely, Mu Dongge saw a figure, shuttling back and forth in the rain, she didn't know what Fang Jue was doing, but she was sure that that person was Wu Liao wearing a mask.
"What a strange person."
Mu Dongge was a little worried, but he couldn't dissuade him, so he could only watch with his eyes blank.
Fang Jue was busy for a long time, and finally ran back to the pavilion, but he was already a soup chicken.
"You are so strange, why did you run out in such a heavy rain."
"Are you concerned about me?"
Fang Jue's question was direct, which actually made Mu Dongge a little speechless.
"Joke, people like me, no one cares. Want to know what I just did? ”
After Fang Jue laughed at himself, he showed a smile again.
Mu Dongge did feel a little strange about Fang Jue, she didn't know what Fang Jue was doing just now, but with her character, she wouldn't ask.
"Forget it, I won't tease you. If you want to know the answer, just wait for tomorrow. ”
"I'm afraid it will rain all day, so you better go back to the house and rest, so as not to catch a cold."
Mu Dongge looked at Fang Jue with strange eyes, she thought that Fang Jue wanted to follow her into the house. How can this be, Mu Dongge suddenly became vigilant.
Fang Jue naturally understood Mu Dongge's eyes, so he added, "I should go back too." ”
As soon as Mu Dongge wanted to say something, he had already seen Fang Jue leave the pavilion and disappear into the rain.
The pouring rain was pouring down, and Fang Jue couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to stand at the door of the backyard gate.
"Young Master, you've finally come out."
A maid holding an oil-paper umbrella also hid under the doorbeam.
"Juan'er, why are you here?"
Fang Jue naturally recognized this person, she was the maid of the second lady Yang Yuting. Fang Jue took off the mask and numbed the rain off his face with one hand.
Juan'er knew that the opportunity to perform had arrived, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the water on Fang Jue's face.
Fang Jue snatched the handkerchief and said, "I'll come by myself, is Erniang back?" ”
"Young master, the second lady just came back today, and I went to look for her in such a heavy rain, you are drenched, I am distressed."
Juan'er looked at Fang Jue with vigorous eyes, but Fang Jue wiped it by herself, and didn't look at Juan'er at all.
"I'm so idle, so come here and wander, you are not allowed to go into the backyard without my permission."
Juan'er almost cried, holding her mouth, is it true to make up lies, the last sentence is slipping, and the next sentence will be directly stated. It's simply not taking yourself to heart, even a little bit.
"Got it."
Although Juan'er was the second lady's maid, she still didn't dare to disobey Fang Jue's intentions, so she had to answer aggrievedly.
"Young master, it seems that this rain can't stop for a while, and you're getting wet again, or I'll send you back to your room."
"No need, I still have something to do, I'll go first."
Fang Jue saw that Juan'er only had an umbrella, and he didn't know if she was premeditated or happened to be waiting here, but Fang Jue didn't have the heart to think about it, so it was important to hurry back and get down to business.
Fang Jue braved the heavy rain again and rushed into the rain curtain, leaving Juan'er alone with a frightened and infinitely lost pestle here.
Juan'er looked back at the backyard and hated it in her heart. "What a foxy woman, she can't hook up with the master, but she actually hooked up with the young master."
Fang Jue returned to the kitchen and saw a group of Fang Mansion cooks and maids working non-stop, it seemed that it was about to dinner.
"Young Master, why are you here?"
A slightly older woman came over and said, dressed very simple and elegant, looking very clean.
Fang Jue didn't pay attention to anyone, because his appearance was very embarrassed at the moment, and when he saw it, he was scared, and several maids also stood aside in fear. Your arrival is undoubtedly causing trouble to others, so let's hurry up and find what you want. A large basin, a shovel for stir-frying.
Fang Jue took the basin and rushed out, using the basin to block the rain.
Fang Jue left, the kitchen of Fangfu returned to normal, everyone in the kitchen was surprised by Fang Jue's appearance, Fang Jue took some utensils from the kitchen, they were a little puzzled, and thought that Fang Jue had come to find shortcomings.
Fang Jue returned to his yard, and Li'er came over to greet her first, followed by a little maid Bi'er. The two oil-paper umbrellas were all hit on the top of Fang Jue's head, but the two maids were exposed to the rain, the rain soaked their clothes, and their well-proportioned bodies were exposed. Fang Jue just looked at it a few times in a trance, which made the two maids blush a little shyly. Fang Jue just smiled helplessly, and then asked the two maids to go back and change their clothes.
The two maids changed their clothes and rushed back, only to feel that something was wrong with Fang Jue, what happened to the eldest young master today, what are you doing with the basin and shovel. However, although the two maids were curious, they did not dare to ask.
"You two are watching here, and I'll come as I go."
Fang Jue let the two maids appear under the eaves, but he took a basin and shovel and rushed into the rain again. Before the two maids could react, they saw Fang Jue jump into the pool.
"Oh no, the young master has dived, help!"
This is amazing, this young master was a little strange today, but now he actually dived. Is this suicide? Li'er anxiously ordered Bi'er beside her to call someone over, and Li'er also ran towards the pool in the heavy rain.
"Young Master, what are you doing?"
When Li'er got closer, she found that Fang Jue had committed suicide by jumping into the water, but was playing alone in the pool. Fortunately, Fang Jue was fine, but Fang Jue's behavior still puzzled her, and after being excited, she burst into laughter.
"I'm catching fish."
"Catch a Fish ???"
Fang Jue replied calmly, but the rain was a little loud, and Fang Jue had to speak louder. Li'er looked at Fang Jue as if she was crazy, but she was still a little unsure if she had heard it wrong. On such a rainy day, why is the young master catching fish, the fish here are some more expensive pet fish, and they can't be eaten. Now that Fang Fu is rich, if you want to eat fish, you just need to say it.
The water in the pond is not very deep, only in the seat of Fang Jue's chest, but this pond is planted with some lotus flowers, so there is still some silt under the pond, and Fang Jue has some difficulty in moving. Fang Jue started work with both hands, and kept touching the fish in the water, but the fish had already hidden, and after touching it for a while, he didn't touch any of them.
"Young master, it's raining so heavily, come up quickly, wait for the rain to stop and then ask the others to catch fish, beware of getting wet."
After a while, a group of people suddenly broke into the courtyard of Young Master Fang Jue, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that they broke in, of course, the leader is the big housekeeper Liu Yang, Liu Yang came with more than a dozen Fang Mansion family members in the rain, one step late, if the Young Master Fang Mansion has a mistake, then the entire Fang Mansion will not have a good end.
More than a dozen people, led by Bi'er, came to the pond where Fang Jue had an accident. saw Li'er squatting on the edge of the pond and watching Fang Jue catch fish.
"Young master, you are. I heard the maid Bi'er say you, you ......"
Liu Yang looked at Fang Jue in the pond, and he didn't know what to do. So he turned his head to look at his daughter Li'er, who also looked innocent and didn't understand.
"Haha, I finally caught you."
Fang Jue worked hard for a long time, and finally caught a red carp, although it was a little small, it did not prevent Fang Jue from expressing his achievements excitedly.
Fang Jue put the fish into the basin on the shore, the basin had already rained, and the fish kept swimming in the water, whether they were protesting against being caught by Fang Jue, or excited, the water in the basin was clearer than that in the pond.
"Uncle Liu, why are you here, are you here to catch fish for me?"
"This, this ......"
Liu Yang was asked inexplicably, the young master still didn't play his cards according to common sense, which one to sing today. Since the eldest young master is fine, he will not pursue Bi'er for lying about the military situation, after all, it is not easy for these maids to be in the Fang Mansion, let alone the maids who are waiting in Fang Jue's courtyard. However, Liu Yang didn't think much about it, and hurriedly asked the other family members to go down to help Fang Jue catch fish.
Fang Jue soaked in the water for a long time, and also felt a little cool, his somewhat delicate body was naturally not as good as those strong and strong families, in the end Fang Jue still insisted on catching enough fish, and asked people to dig out a lot of lotus flowers with lotus roots in the pond.
"Be careful, don't break the lotus."
Fang Jue carefully instructed some family members, and soon made more than a dozen lotus flowers with lotus leaves, and a pot of fish was also full, there were dozens of them, these fish were specially sent by the fourth lady to please Fang Jue and placed in the pool in Fang Jue's yard.
"Yo yo yo, I really can't think about something when I am the eldest young master of the Fang Mansion, and I actually want to dive, it turns out to be a false alarm."
At this moment, the courtyard of the eldest young master of the Fang Mansion was full of people, and several Fang Mansion ladies also rushed over one after another, holding all kinds of umbrellas, thinking that Fang Jue had really committed suicide by diving. The third lady, Mu Dongmei, arrived first, and saw that Fang Jue was fine, and she didn't look like she was going to die, but she was a little disappointed in her heart, so she said sarcastically.
"Jue'er, are you okay, how did you run into the pond with such a heavy rain, come up."
The second lady Yang Yuting shouted a little anxiously, and the other ladies also stood on the shore and watched silently.
"It turns out that the eldest young master of Fangfu wants to eat fish, and he catches it himself, I don't know if there is a share of Siniang or not."
The fourth lady Qian Ke also looked at Fang Jue with a mocking face, she knew the origin of the few big fish in her pond, all of which were done by Fang Jue.
Only the fifth lady Li Yurou and the sixth lady Xiao Hongmian stood aside without saying a word, their expressions were very natural, and they still looked like they had nothing to do with themselves.
Fang Jue didn't expect that he was just catching fish, so he alarmed the people of the Fang Mansion to be so uneasy, but fortunately, Fang Yan had business to go out today.
Fang Jue went to the shore, and then thanked a few stepmothers who cared about him or had bad intentions very sincerely. Then everyone began to disperse, only the maid Juan'er, who was a little reluctant to look at Fang Jue a few more times, there were a few ladies just now, and she didn't have the right to speak.
