Chapter 145: The Maple Leaf Will Be Red

One by one, the leaves of some of the very green plants in the courtyard turned yellow, and the veins that extended lost their luster, and at last broke off the last bonds, and fell with the wind, flying around the air, dancing with silent notes, and finally falling on the masonry.

A broom suddenly drops and gently sweeps the fallen leaves into the dustpan.

The one who took the broom was a table of clean slaves, as the weather became cooler in autumn, the clothes on his body became much thicker, and after cleaning for a while, there were sweat stains on his face, so he took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his sweat, and the broom and dustpan leaned on his body at will, he stood up straight, looked at the living room in the atrium with some fear, sighed slightly, and the handkerchief that was wiping sweat was subconsciously pressed on his forehead.

Judging by the appearance of the wound, it should be a recent one.

At this moment, a group of servant girls came over slowly, holding a tray in their hands, and there were some delicate pastries, tea, etc. on the tray, and stopped when they passed by him, and one of the servant girls whispered: "Is that man still angry, is it inappropriate for us to go over at this time?" ”

"I don't know, but I haven't heard a quarrel for a long time, so it should be fine." The slave sighed, put away the handkerchief, and continued to pick up the broom and dustpan, "What's more, this is our Wang family, how unreasonable that person is, it is impossible to do it in front of Lang Jun, so don't be afraid, go over, send the food and tea over and come out." ”

"Huh...... That's all there is to it. ”

A few light steps slowly approached the living room, as soon as they appeared, they felt the almost stagnant air inside, for a few maidservants, all the people present were big people, and a word could decide their life and death, Lang Jun, Mrs., and a few noble sons who were said to be from the He clan in Lujiang, sat there without saying a word, and at the moment when the maids came in, several sharp eyes all converged on the first maid.

She froze instantly.

Cold sweat broke out, his teeth chattered, and he stammered, "Lang...... Jun, tea, tea...... I ......"

"I heard that Princess Yuyao is also here, but is there such a thing?" Xi Xuan, who was sitting next to Wang Xizhi, spoke.

"Yes, yes......"

"I don't need you to wait here, let's go to Meng Jiang's side and let Princess Yuyao have some fun."

As soon as Xi Xuan's words fell, a group of maidservants hurriedly saluted and withdrew, until they avoided the eyes inside, and then they gasped violently, looked at each other, and all had a tiger's mouth escaping from the appearance of escape, with a little helplessness, slowly leaving from here.

Facing the lady's tolerance towards the maidservants, Wang Xizhi shook his head slightly, fascinated the person looking at the opposite side, and said undoubtedly: "The He family is not here, it is not a coincidence that you are here, so please understand, it is not that I will not let go, I will not interfere in his remarriage, everything is up to her." ”

"It was a coincidence, we just came on the back foot, and she just walked on the front foot...... And Uncle Shi, I just don't know where she went? He Jin's face was gloomy, he was no longer as calm as before, he looked left and right, showed a dissatisfied look, and snorted coldly, "If you say that Wang Shuping is in charge of the family now, then where is Wang Shuping now?" ”

"I guess I'm busy dealing with disaster relief." Wang Xizhi said lightly, staring at He Jin and frowning, "Hongrui seems to be dissatisfied with me?" ”

He Jin, who was aggressive, was suddenly shocked, and noticed that he was grabbed by his sleeve, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out behind his back, pretending to cough, and then hurriedly said: "I, I don't mean this, Uncle Shi, don't be angry, it's the little nephew who is abrupt." ”

"Then I have already explained it to you, as you have just heard, Princess Yuyao, the daughter of the king of Huiji, has come here as a guest, and if the virtuous nephew has nothing else to do......" Wang Xizhi made a gesture of sending off the guest.

He Jin had a sullen breath surging in his chest, but he had no way to vent it, so he could only flick his sleeves fiercely, stood up and said, "Uncle Shi, I will come over again......"

……

Most of the people in the house know that Princess Yuyao and Wang Mengjiang are good playmates, the two are similar in age, it can be said that they grew up together, in the past, Princess Yuyao would often come to Wang's house as a guest, or invite Wang Mengjiang to the palace, but later, I don't know what happened, the interaction between the two became less.

At first, some people speculated that the two had an awkward relationship, but then the two who were close to each other blocked these rumors; Subsequently, the real reason was spread by some well-intentioned people: the former princess of Huiji died of illness, the new princess was a member of the original palace, and restricted Princess Yuyao's travel for various reasons - this is one of the few credible speculations.

But in any case, Princess Yuyao is a dignified princess, who came to the Wang family as a guest, and she couldn't be lazy in entertaining, and after being led to Wang Mengjiang's courtyard, the kitchen prepared pastries and tea, which were sent by a special maid.

The wind blew the leaves and made a swaying sound, accompanied by bursts of sweet laughter of the girl, coming out of the small courtyard, as soon as the maid who had just come from the atrium approached, she was infected by the laughter like a silver bell, and the corners of her mouth were also hooked with a smile, and her body relaxed a lot, and she walked in turn, listening to the arrangement of the maid in the courtyard and placing the plate in the designated position, and then hurriedly looked at the main - Princess Yuyao.

Gorgeous palace clothes, small and delicate body, lined with delicate and pink faces, smiling softly, smiling sweetly, shaking slightly with the body, and gently swaying with hair.

With just a glance, the maidservants knew that this was not a powerful person they could touch, and in addition to a faint envy in their hearts, they were more praise, and immediately bowed their heads slightly, and said, "Please use it slowly." And he departed from the courtyard.

This is Wang Mengjiang's residence, the woman's residence is not always like the man's residence, often decorated and delicate, reflected in the details, the two people in the courtyard are constantly discussing these ...... The intimate words between the girls are always endless, not to mention that one of them is now about to get married.

Thinking of this, Princess Yuyao was a little reluctant, stretched out her hand to hold Wang Meng Jiang, her expression was a little sad, and her big eyes rendered a layer of mist: "Meng Jiang is going to get married, and it will not be easy to meet in the future." ”

"No, I will come back often, come back to see my parents and brothers, and I will look for you every time I come back." Compared with the caged bird-like princess, Wang Mengjiang is slightly mature, and often plays the role of a sister in the relationship, as if she was about to cry when she saw the lovely person in front of her, she hurriedly said, "And it will only take a day to come back." ”

Princess Yuyao wrinkled her little nose, although she didn't cry, she still looked sad: "But, but, Meng Jiang is married...... I will also get married, what if my future Langjun doesn't let me see you. ”

"How is it possible, how dare anyone imprison the princess!"

"There are too few Lang Jun like Brother Shuping."

Yu Yao suddenly said this, and immediately reacted, his face turned red, and when he saw the ill-intentioned smile of his close friend opposite, he was even more shy, and lowered his head, "No, Meng Jiang, you misunderstood what I meant, oh, it's so embarrassing, you are not allowed to laugh at me." ”

"I didn't laugh at you, you were laughing at yourself, why did you suddenly mention my second brother?" Wang Mengjiang said with a smile, raised his head and saw that the maidservants next to him were also smiling, and immediately blinked, and the maidservants immediately stopped laughing.

"No, it's just ...... Aren't many people saying that Brother Shuping and Xie Lingjiang respect each other like guests and are a loving couple, I will say that there are not many men who will be like Brother Shuping. ”

"Yes."

"Huh?"

"Nanyang Liu Chang is a man like the second brother." Wang Mengjiang, who said this, was a little shy, "Don't lie to you, the second brother told me personally." ”

"Is it the husband that Brother Shuping chose for you?" Yu Yao's eyes widened.

"Sort of, the second brother checked it for me." Stretching out his hand and scraping the bridge of Yu Yao's nose, Wang Mengjiang smiled and said, "Why do you care so much about the second brother?" Could it be that I have heard too much about the deeds of my second brother and like it in my heart, right? ”

Yu Yao pursed her lips, and finally sighed helplessly: "Even if you like it in your heart, what can you do, he is already married, and his wife is still a talented woman Xie Ling Jiang ......"

"Do you really like it?"

"No...... Isn't it possible? Yu Yao looked at Wang Mengjiang complainingly, and said suddenly, and said writhingly, "You are not allowed to tell others, I want to ask you for one thing." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Can I see Brother Shuping today?"

The maidservant next to her was making tea, and with the brewing of hot water, the tea leaves rose and fell in the cup, turning in circles and precipitating...... Wang Mengjiang looked at the close friend in front of him and shook his head helplessly:

"It's a pity, the second brother went out today, and I don't know if I can rush back."

……

"Qixia Mountain Red is going to appear after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it hasn't been yet, let's come early."

Outside Jiankang City, on Qixia Mountain.

The afternoon is a bit dazzling, lazily sprinkled down, gilding the surrounding farmland, symbolizing the harvest season, all the way from Huiji, all the way to see busy farmers, a large area has suffered from storms, a large number of lodging, there is tax pressure, farmers have not been idle for a moment.

After entering the Qixia Mountain area, it improved, and there were fewer and fewer idle people, and finally on the rugged mountain road, only an ox cart drove slowly.

In the carriage sat Wang Ningzhi and He Shi.

When the people of the He family in Lujiang were about to arrive at the Wang family, they received the news, so they could only pack their luggage in a hurry, and they could not avoid suspicion, the two of them rode together, and they did not bring an escort, and they were driven by the harvest and left before the arrival of the He family, which was the scene of the Wang family's courtyard in the morning.

Hearing Wang Ningzhi's words, He Shi, who had been silent and did not speak, raised his head and looked out through the curtain lifted by Wang Ningzhi, a large number of trees were growing mixed, most of them were still green, and a little yellow and light red, it was indeed not the time to watch the red Qixia Mountain.

One or two birds flew by, and only the faint trembling branches showed that the birds landed on them.

"For my sake, I'm sorry to trouble Erlang." He Shi opened his mouth and said, his gentle gaze fell on Wang Ningzhi.

Wang Ningzhi put down the car curtain, looked back at He's, smiled and said: "Sister-in-law said so, you are my relative, we are a family, my family is in trouble, can I still stand by and watch?" The people of the He family in Lujiang are menacing, it seems that if your sister-in-law does not agree to remarry and will take you back, how different is it from a robber, in this case, even if you are not my sister-in-law, I will help. ”

His eyebrows lowered, and He sighed: "After all, I am willful, if I agree to remarry, there will be no sudden incident, Erlang has many things to deal with, but he also has to worry about me......"

Before he finished speaking, He looked at his hand in surprise.

Like the hands of many noble women, white and delicate, like a piece of flawless white jade, but being grasped by a slender and powerful hand, you can feel the temperature and strength that do not belong to you.

Wang Ningzhi took her hand and put it in her heart, with a hint of urgency: "Sister-in-law, touch it, am I troubled?" ”

He Shi's face was blushing, and he could feel a slight tremor in his body, but under Wang Ningzhi's gaze, he did not quickly retract his hand, but let it pull him to press on a hard chest - bang, bang, bang, inside was a strong and powerful heart, beating rhythmically.

Bang, bang, bang......

The vigorous vitality is in the palm of the hand, full of gratitude for life and longing for the future.

He Shi didn't speak, but looked at Wang Ningzhi in a daze, but it seemed that he was distracted, and his soft little hands were still grasped by Wang Ningzhi.

The ox cart stopped suddenly, and the sound of a harvest sounded outside: "Lang Jun, young lady...... When I arrived, I couldn't move forward in front of me, so I had to go up. ”

It seemed to be calling a couple, and this call also woke up He, she found that her hand was still grabbed by Wang Ningzhi, she was very embarrassed, and hurriedly withdrew her hand, wanting to go down, but was stopped by Wang Ningzhi.

"Come down." Wang Ningzhi jumped down first, stood in front of the car and stretched out his hand.

He glanced at him sadly, helplessly stretched out his hand, got out of the car with the help of his strength, and immediately separated after getting out of the car, looking around, a wide space, although it was not when Qixia Mountain was red, but it was also a unique scenery, which was pleasing to the eye.

The two did not delay, went up the mountain, met the acquaintance, and explained their intentions, and then met Zheng Qingfeng. When he learned that the He family was going to live here temporarily, he was a little surprised, but he did not refuse, and after discussing with Wang Ningzhi, he sent someone to look for someone at the foot of the mountain...... After all, Wang Ningzhi left in a hurry and didn't bring a maidservant, if he wanted to stay, he had to clean up at least one room, and of course the woman's room had to be cleaned up by the woman.

After the settlement was completed, Wang Ningzhi said to the He family: "My sister-in-law lives here first, and my little sister rushed over from here on the day of her wedding, it should be in Nanyang County...... I'll send my maid over in the next few days. ”

"It's hard work, you don't need to worry about me here."

Halfway up the mountain, on a platform with a steep slope in front of you, as far as the eye can see, the clouds are shrouded in mist, surrounded by a large number of trees, like a fairyland.

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the maple leaves are red." Wang Ningzhi looked at He's family, smiled slightly, grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, I am accompanying my sister-in-law to come over to enjoy the mountain red." (To be continued.) )
