When the bustard looked at the person in the painting, he immediately said in surprise, "How could Childe be? ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What? Mom has seen this painting too? "I thought I would have to ask a few more girls, but I didn't expect that the first person I met would have seen this painting, so it shouldn't take more trouble.

The old bustard nodded and said: "At that time, when the eldest prince Xu painted this painting for the water girl, he was in the back garden of our soft red building, the prince doesn't believe it, you can poke your head out of the window of this room, and you can see the rockery and peony painted on this painting." ”

Meng Tianchu really walked to the window and opened the window to take a look, although it was late, the back garden was full of lanterns, and it was no different from the daytime, and it was much cooler than the house. This back garden turned out to be a lively place, the field is very large, pavilions and pavilions are readily available, dozens of pairs of men and women stroll and play among the flowers, very beautiful. He could see the place in the painting at a glance.

Meng Tianchu returned to the painting and said, "Who is Xu Gongzi?" It seems to be familiar with the water girl? ”

The old bustard did not answer Meng Tianchu's words, but said: "Since Gongzi is here, I will ask a few girls to accompany me, and then I will tell Gongzi about this water girl and Xu Gongzi?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What my mother said is that since I am here, I will sit back and serve me some good food and wine, and the girl will call two, one for me and one for my entourage." ”

The old bustard saw that Meng Tianchu only needed two girls, so he was a little unhappy, and Meng Tianchu saw it in his eyes. So he smiled and said: "Although I only call two girls, but the money will naturally not be less, and besides, my mother has been with me, so naturally I can't let my mother sit in vain, what do you say?" ”

When the old bustard heard this, he was happy, and hurriedly shouted, "Tong'er, a guest is coming." He also said to Meng Tianchu: "Tong'er also knows everything about qin, chess, calligraphy and painting. And I'm only fifteen years old this year. The age of the pattern. The outfall is very marked, and the son must like it when he sees it. ”

As he spoke, he saw a woman walking outside the door, Meng Tianchu looked up and saw that the woman was wearing a turquoise emerald cigarette shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, and a thin veil of emerald water. The eyebrows are like green feathers, the muscles are like snow, the lips are bright and the teeth are bright, the shoulders are slashed into the waist, and the muscles are like condensation. Coquettish and boneless. What a Peugeot's little beauty.

The woman walked gracefully to Meng Tianchu's side, saluted Meng Tianchu, and then sat down beside Meng Tianchu gently, her demeanor was not frivolous.

The old bustard saw that Meng Tianchu seemed to be dumbfounded, and he had a count in his heart. So he said: "Why don't you let Tong'er play a song for Childe first?" ”

Only then did Meng Tianchu take his eyes off Tong'er's body. said with a smile: "It is worthy of being the first floor in the world, and it is indeed worthy of its name." ”

The old bustard was naturally very proud, and said, "The son has won the award." The first time the son came, we naturally wouldn't call a girl to serve the son at will, we have four flowers in the soft red mansion, and Tong'er is one of the four flowers. ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Tong'er, she was about the same age as Feiyan in her own family, but her face was a little more mature and steady, thinking that she had suffered a lot of unimaginable hardships since she was a child, so she would have more vicissitudes in her eyes.

Meng Tianchu said: "It's not a hurry to play, didn't we just talk about the story of the water girl?" Xiaosheng has a habit of starting well and finishing well, and it is okay to listen to Miss Tong'er play after listening to the story. ”

When the old bustard heard this, he thought that he was not talking in vain anyway, and he was naturally happy when he said that he would also give money and land, so he ordered Tong'er to pour wine for Meng Tianchu, and continued to talk about it.

"Speaking of that Xu Gongzi, he is not a simple character, he is proficient in literature and martial arts, not only that, but he is also proficient in music and rhythm, and he is also dignified, Tong'er is fortunate to let Xu Gongzi teach him a few times."

Tong'er said softly: "Mom said yes, then Xu Gongzi is indeed that kind of person." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Then where is Gongzi Xu now?" ”

The old bustard shook his head and said, "Then I don't know, since the water girl left the soft red mansion, Xu Gongzi has not come here anymore." ”

Tong'er said: "Xu Gongzi thinks that he has already found an official and a half-position in the capital, if he hadn't failed the imperial examination repeatedly, he would have been able to ransom Sister Muyan out a long time ago." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What is the full name of Xu Gongzi?" ”

Tong'er said: "What is the son asking for?" "Hand over a glass of wine.

Meng Tianchu smiled faintly, drank all the wine handed by Tong'er's hands, and said: "I originally wanted to see Miss Shui, but who knew that I couldn't see each other, so I hoped to find some old people related to her to know some things about her, and also relieve the pain of lovesickness that I haven't seen." ”

Tong'er heard Meng Tianchu say this, so she said with some emotion: "Childe's favor for the water girl really moved Tong'er. That Xu Gongzi's full name is Xu Wei, he is a native of Shaoxing, with a long character, and is called a native of Tianchi Mountain and a Qingteng layman. ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he was happy, how good, this little beauty said it all, and the Qingteng monk who found the land by himself also showed his dew.

Meng Tianchu said happily: "Okay, not to mention those who have left, now we should cherish the talent in front of us, Tong'er, let's drink and chant poetry and listen to you play, how about it?" ”

As soon as the old bustard heard that he had nothing to do with himself, he quickly stood up, but he toasted Meng Tianchu vigorously, but he didn't leave, Meng Tianchu understood, smiled and nodded at Zhu Hao. Only then did Zhu Hao take out a small ingot of silver from his arms and stuff it into the old bustard's hand, and the old bustard left with a happy smile.

The joy of spring night does not have to be detailed.

The next day, Meng Tianchu sent someone to call Chen Xingpeng, the secretary of Hangzhou Dongchang, and asked him to send someone to investigate Xu Wei, and it was unknown where this man was now.

After Chen Xingpeng left, Meng Tianchu was standing in the courtyard when he suddenly saw the housekeeper hurriedly walking out. I casually asked what I was going to do.

The housekeeper's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said: "Yesterday, the third grandmother asked me to take out a winter cotton silk that she put in the silk village to repair, and I drank a little wine with a few subordinates last night.

I completely forgot about it, so I'm going to get it now. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What kind of cotton, if it's broken, throw it away." What else to tinker with? ”

The housekeeper smiled and said: "It's not that my housekeeper praised the third grandmother in front of the young master, although our third grandmother was also born by everyone, but she will live a good life, the day before yesterday, the monkey at home let Zhu Hao go out to play, just in time for everyone to take the winter clothes to the yard to dry, it is rare to have a good sun, and I am afraid that it will be moldy in the cabinet for a long time." But the monkey actually threw his clothes everywhere. I also accidentally hung up the cotton silk that the third grandmother liked very much at first sight. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded. With a wave of his hand, he said, "Okay, I know, you can go, but don't worry, you're getting older, slow down." The third grandmother won't blame you. ”

The housekeeper nodded with a smile and said, "The housekeeper is blessed to meet a good young master and three kind-hearted ladies, but I can't be spoiled and spoiled just because you are good to me, that's not right, okay, young master, the slave is gone." ”

Meng Tianchu watched the butler's hurried figure slowly disappear. Then I walked in the door.

The garden seems to be very lively. The laughter continued, especially Feiyan's voice was the loudest, and Meng Tianchu walked in the direction of the sound. It turned out to be really lively.

On the east side of the yard, I don't know when I pulled a lot of ropes, and some quilts and clothes have been set up on the ropes.

Meng Tianchu walked through a few ropes and pulled up the stalks, and finally saw Feiyan and a few maids laughing happily together.

Meng Tianchu said: "I heard your laughter from afar, and I was so happy about it, tell me about it?" ”

When everyone heard the voice and looked back, it was Meng Tianchu, the maids were so frightened that they immediately asked for peace, Feiyan also hurriedly saluted, and then pulled Meng Tianchu with a smile and said, "Young master, you came just in time, do you see if the monkey is teasing the dead?" ”

Meng Tianchu saw that these girls were originally laughing around the monkey, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be happy, only to see that the monkey didn't know which girl or lady's red jacket was wearing, and it was still dressed in a good way, even the buttons were buttoned well, and a girl's pink scarf was actually draped on his head.

Meng Tianchu said while laughing: "You bad girls, it's so hot, just tease, and seeing that the buttons are so tightly buttoned, be careful to cover this little guy with prickly heat." ”

Feiyan said: "It's its own deduction, where is it." ”

Meng Tianchu couldn't help but think of Qin'er's words about this monkey being very smart, it turned out that this was really the case.

At this time, the monkey seemed to be hot, so he took off his jacket and threw it on the ground, but the veil on his head was still draped, probably thinking that it could shield him from the sun.

The monkey looked at everyone, and then ran away while everyone was not paying attention, and a maid hurriedly shouted: "It's terrible, I think I ran to someone's room to find a skirt to wear, and everyone quickly chased it back." ”

When everyone heard this, they all hurriedly chased after the monkey, and Meng Tianchu also followed, wanting to see what the monkey was going to do.

Sure enough, from a distance, Meng Tianchu stood on the small bridge and saw the monkey enter Feiyan's house, only to hear Feiyan scream and say, "It's over, my skirt!" After saying that, he also entered the room.

Meng Tianchu smiled and stood on the small bridge to watch the excitement, at this time, Meng Tianchu saw that the monkey was really wearing a Feiyan skirt, probably because the skirt was too long, it hung itself on the window, and grimaced at the people watching the excitement outside.

Looking at this monkey wearing a skirt, Meng Tianchu felt very interesting, and suddenly, his smile froze, and a puzzled thought flashed through his mind, making his eyes suddenly light up.

…

…—

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, the streets and alleys of Hangzhou are full of people sitting under the trees or by the river with fans, such a scene will probably last until the second watch knocks, people gradually disperse, return to their respective homes, the night finally quiets down, occasionally a few frogs bark and dogs bark, and the air can smell the fragrance of lotus flowers from time to time.

A figure stumbled out of the back door of a house, and a woman said to the man while buttoning the button on her chest: "Master He, you slow down, I have time to come and see your little Cuilian, people have been thinking about you." ”

The man leaned against the wall, burped a wine in his mouth, and said vaguely, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely come to see my little liver when I have time, goblin, just... It's just, I know, you're thinking about it, no... It's not me, it's... It's the silver in my pocket, hahahaha..."

The woman giggled twice and said, "Look at what you said, we have a little business, don't we have to expect you to come here to have more money for food?" ”

But the man stopped talking, and after walking a few steps, he threw up on the wall, and when the woman saw it, she hurried back to the house and closed the door, for fear that the smell would enter the house.

After the man vomited, he took two steps, sat down on the spot, and thought that he really couldn't walk, so he sat there panting heavily, and said in his mouth: "This girl, I don't know what cat urine I was fed in, how to drink it, it hurt me a tael of silver, just touch it a few times, just forget it, see how I go next time, how to clean up that... That little hoof, hey
