It was just dawn, and there were few travelers, and the sleepy-eyed little man was yawning tiredly with a pot of steaming tea in his hand. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You fool, don't you hurry!"

The shopkeeper glared angrily, scolded in a low voice, took the teapot, turned around and walked quickly to the lobby, and the bloated body under the printed robe trembled with fat.

It was still early, there were naturally no diners in the lobby, there were only a few people sitting in front of the table by the window, the shopkeeper stepped forward lightly, put the tea kettle on the table, and was about to pick up the cup and pour it full, but saw a middle-aged man in a black robe with a white face and a green beard under his chin get up.

"The two sons, so, it is decided like this, tomorrow's 'Hundred Gardens', the prince is waiting for the two to come."

As he spoke, he turned and left, of course, he did not forget to drop a few pieces of silver and pay the money for the tea and cakes on the table.

"Shopkeeper, you hold this kettle, and you don't let you eat tea?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Zhu, who was still in shock, came back to his senses, and handed the teapot forward with a smile, he knew the man in black just now, it was the outer court manager of the Zhenxi Palace, and his status was very noble, and he came here specially, obviously the prince was inviting the two people in front of him.

Thinking about it this time, the smile on the fat face of the shopkeeper Zhu became more and more flattering, and he couldn't wait to worship Liu Xi and Ma Xiu as ancestors.

"It's annoying!"

Ma Xiu drove the shopkeeper away with an angry face, immediately changed his face, took out a cup, filled a cup of tea, and pushed it in front of Liu Xi with a smile, "Brother Yusheng......"

The soft voice was crisp, but Liu Xi was cold, picked up the cup, sipped the tea, and ignored it.

Seeing this situation, Ma Xiu was not upset, poured a cup for Wu Shuang'er, and handed the delicious cake cake that the shopkeeper specially found to please the palace steward to the little girl, and kept blinking the eyes full of spring love, and mouthed at Liu Xinu.

The girl's family is soft-hearted, and she can't see the most bitter and sad things, and Wu Shuang'er is no exception.

Unable to bear Ma Xiu's pretending to be pitiful, Wu Shuang'er opened her eyes wide, and looked at Liu Xi with pity, "Childe, why don't we go and take a look?" ”

"Yes, yes, Brother Yusheng, don't you know, this Zhenxi King is also an elegant person, not to mention that calligraphy and painting are a must, and what is more famous is the 'Hundred Gardens' just mentioned. Speaking of this 'hundred gardens', it is worthy of the name, there are really hundreds of flowers and plants, spring red and autumn fragrance, summer flowers and winter plums, all of them, no strange ones, ordinary people are difficult to take a look, now is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity, if you miss it, then it is not to regret it? ”

Speaking of which, Ma Xiu actually put on a sad appearance, as if it was a pity for the flowery scenery of the garden.

Looking at Ma Xiu's painful appearance, Liu Xi sighed bitterly in his heart, just let him go, maybe he had a heavenly destined marriage with the lord of Shurou.

If you don't have it, you can just die of this heart.

Thinking of this, Liu Xi put down the cup in his hand and scolded with a smile pretending to beg, "You scoundrel, you can say so many things, just because you want me to accompany you and be your chauffeur." Don't pose like a little lady here, just go with you. ”

Hearing this, Ma Xiu was like a trick, and suddenly smiled like a flower, and Liu Xi was full of tea, and he was talking about the 'Hundred Gardens'.

On this day, Liu Xi was at the inn and didn't go anywhere, but until sunset, he didn't see anyone from the soldiers, and his heart was immediately full of depression.

Ma Xiu and Wu Shuang'er in the house were also staring boredly, and when they heard the lively and noisy sound coming in, they felt more and more idle.

Fortunately, there is a horse embroidery, and he talks about the things he has experienced in various states and counties, which also makes the little girl quite interested, and the little hand supports her chin, listening to it with relish.

"Ma Gongzi, outside of Shu Mountain, aren't there all barren mountains and mountains, where some strange people live who are unclothed and cannibalistic and devour beasts? How come it is that what you said is not much different from Li Tang, and it is also a peaceful scene of national peace and security? ”

The little girl blinked her eyes wide, and said this sentence full of doubts, the horse embroidery who was shaking the fan shook her hand, the paper fan almost fell to the ground, and the smile on her face instantly turned into embarrassment, "Shuang'er, how do you know this?" ”

"I heard it from the old man Chen in Guojiazhuang, he knows a lot, he has even been to the northern prairie, and he has seen sheep as big as a hill!"

Wu Shuang'er said very seriously, while speaking, he gestured with his hand, but Ma Xiu couldn't help laughing, even Liu Xi, who was in an extremely bad mood, was amused by her words, and reached out and rubbed it on the little head.

After the night fell, Liu Xi and the three of them had not yet gone downstairs, and the shopkeeper Zhu personally brought a number of dishes with all colors and flavors.

Seeing this, he seemed to be able to really have a relationship with Liu Xi and the Zhenxi Palace, and wanted to have a good time.

For this, he didn't break it, anyway, it wasn't him Liu Xi who was swaggering outside under the guise of Zhenxi Wangfu, and he would settle the account with silver when he left.

After dinner, Liu Xi could clearly feel that Ma Xiu was more uneasy, and he couldn't sit still, and from time to time he asked the words of 'good clothes' and 'feasible behavior', which made him and Wu Shuang'er cry and laugh.

The two persuaded for a long time before Ma Xiu felt that he was a graceful and radiant young man, grabbed the paper fan, and when he walked into the house, he looked back and asked, "Brother Yusheng, embroidery is really talented?" ”

Liu Xi nodded again and again, "Brother Jinchao, am I still lying to you, how many people in the world can know all the four books and five classics, and they can do it easily?" And you are so red and white-toothed, how can anyone not like it? ”

Stretched out his hand to push Ma Xiu into the room, without giving him a chance to speak again, Liu Xi closed the door, turned his head to look at Wu Shuang'er standing by the wall, and scolded with a low laugh, "This horse is today, he is the one who wants to see the little lady, and he is also the one who is cowardly, it is really disgusting!" ”

stepped forward, sent Wu Shuang'er to the room on the right hand, and after giving some instructions, Liu Xi was about to turn around and go back to the room.

"Childe."

Wu Shuang'er, who was sitting in front of the bed, called him, his voice was low, as if he wanted to speak and stopped, seeing Liu Hope coming, the little girl held the corner of her skirt tightly with both hands, and asked in a low voice with a flickering eye, "Childe, if you fall in love with someone's little lady, have you become like Ma Gongzi?" ”

After that, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Xi, but he clenched the corners of his skirt tighter, and Ruyu's little hands were also flushed.

Seeing this situation, Liu Xi couldn't help but wonder, the little girl was only ten and four, she was still young, how could she understand the relationship between men and women, but seeing her so cute, she naturally wanted to tease.

"Ahem, if I like the little lady of one family......"

coughed lightly twice, and saw Wu Shuang'er prick up her pink ears, so she said slowly, "Actually, I don't know, this kind of thing is hard to find, and when the opportunity comes, maybe I don't have a brain." ”

After saying this, Liu Xi walked out with a smile, closed the door carefully, and inside the house, Wu Shuang'er raised his head, and his little face was covered with red glow.

Childe said that he didn't have a favorite little lady, so it's good.

But then the little girl covered her face with her hands, perhaps afraid that Liu Xi would turn back, and hurriedly burrowed her petite body into the quilt.

The next day, Liu Xi was still plucking and pouring in and practicing, but he heard the banging outside the door, as well as Ma Xiu's fiery call, and immediately understood that this guy couldn't hold it back, smiled bitterly, and had to accept the exercises.

opened the door and saw Ma Xiu, Liu Xi was immediately stunned, but he hadn't seen him for a few hours, how could he be so virtuous, his eyes were red and swollen, and his face was haggard, as if he had changed as a person.

"What's wrong with you today?"

Grabbing Liu Xi's sleeve, Ma Xiu wanted to cry without tears, "Brother Yusheng, I couldn't sleep last night, when I thought of the lord of Shurou, I was very worried, what should I do if the king ......of Zhenxi can't see me?"

As he was talking, Ma Xiu snorted lightly, and fell down, Liu Xi stepped forward to support him, "You guy, is it going to make everyone uneasy?" Don't think about anything now, the only thing you have to do is get some sleep. ”

The time was about to pass, Wu Shuang'er sat at the table, looked at Liu Xi who was leisurely eating tea, hesitated several times, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Childe, didn't you say that you would go to the 'Hundred Gardens' today, and if Ma Gongzi goes to sleep like this, it will be a missed hour." ”

Hearing this, Liu Xicai seemed to realize that the sun had risen three poles, and immediately dropped the cup in his hand and exclaimed, "Shuang'er don't say it, I forgot, yesterday's appointment was not in time, this time to find the past, it still takes some effort, it's time to wake him up." ”

As he spoke, he walked forward, and when he saw Wu Shuang'er following him, Liu Xi looked back and coughed lightly, "Shuang'er, you still stay here, so as not to see something inappropriate." ”

Hearing this, Wu Shuang subconsciously stopped, was stunned for a moment, nodded, and sat back at the table, just staring at the crack of the unclosed door with big eyes, as if he wanted to see what was going on.

Faintly, a miserable scream came, making the little girl feel excited, and she got up and was about to rush out.

Before I got to the door, I saw Liu Xi and Ma Xiu walking in, one of them looked as usual, and the other rubbed his chest, gasping there.

"Brother Yusheng, your subordinates are also too heavy, could it be that they deliberately want to harm the embroidery!"

Striding into the house, Ma Xiu muttered, but Liu Xi continued to drink tea by himself, "Today, if you don't let you sleep for a while, how can you become majestic again?" ”

As soon as his words fell, he saw Ma Xiu walking to the bronze mirror with an arrow step, looking left and right, and said with a smile for a long time, "Sure enough, Brother Yusheng is right, but now his complexion is much better than before." ”

As he was talking, he inadvertently looked up at the sky, and immediately shouted again, "Oh, it's almost noon, Brother Yusheng, Shuang'er, come with me to the appointment!" ”

After finishing speaking, he grabbed the paper fan, raised his feet and hurriedly walked out, Liu Xi and Wu Shuang'er had to pull their legs and follow.

There is Ma Xiu, who is afraid that he will miss the time, so the three of them will eat two mouthfuls of food casually for lunch, and then rush to the 'Hundred Gardens'.

Searching all the way, it was only two minutes after noon to the 'Hundred Gardens' in the east of the city, and after dealing with Ma Xiu, who began to become nervous again, Liu Xi took a deep breath and was finally able to rest for a while.

Under the stone bridge, the clear water is murmuring, the ink and bamboo on both sides of the river are forested, and the brick and stone path is hidden from time to time, which is indeed an elegant place.

In the trail, the bamboo waves are bursting in the ears, the elegant fragrance is fresh and fragrant, walking in it, it is like being in the mountains and forests, and the hustle and bustle outside a few streets is gone.

After doing about a cup of tea, I saw that the front suddenly opened up, on the edge of the flowing water, there is a courtyard of several acres square, with pink walls and tiles, no glazed gold tiles, no flying beasts, just that ordinary and ordinary, quietly standing.

Outside the courtyard, the ink bamboo and the red plum are lightly slanted, swaying lightly, and there are many styles.

Liu Xi and the three of them stepped forward, walked through the stone steps, and when they reached the door, they could see the golden color all over the place through the unclosed vermilion gate.

But it is full of autumn chrysanthemums, and it is made with the wind.
