307. 307. He who should have died a long time ago, but he lived
307。 Those who should have died a long time ago are alive
"The pear blossoms are white in color and fresh in fragrance, and it is a pity that the pear blossom forest in the imperial garden in the palace is really a pity." Seeing the two saplings being lifted up and carefully released into the dug pit, Mu Tong couldn't help but mutter.
"Pity? What's a pity? Qi Mingluan stood beside Mu Tong and looked at the two saplings that had not yet grown their young leaves. She naturally remembers the pear blossom forest in the palace, which is decades old, and the flowers bloom like snow, just like the deep love of Yu Yujue for her grandmother.
"Thank you for your hard work, let's go down first." Seeing that the small saplings had just been planted, and the height was less than Mu Tong's shoulders, Mu Tong sent the family away, walked to one of them, and reached out to gently dust off the soil remaining on the branches. "After the palace banquet in the new year, the emperor ordered the removal of the apricot blossom forest on the grounds of repairing the imperial garden, and not a single tree was left. This is not a secret, but what the apricot blossom forest represents was not a secret earlier, and now such an act is hard to guarantee that it will not attract a few points in the hearts of the world. ”
"Father-in-law likes apricot blossoms?" Qi Mingluan's eyes were bright, and Mu Tong's expression when he looked at the apricot sapling was the same as when his grandmother looked at the apricot blossom forest.
"It's your stepmother who likes it." Mu Tong smiled faintly, mentioning the Min family, showing a rare gentle expression, "She was in a coma for a few days when she was injured, and she always talked about apricot blossoms in a daze, and originally promised her to take her into the palace to see the apricot blossom forest in the future, but it was just ...... It's a pity. I can only hope that these two trees can grow taller, grow up, and bloom quickly, so that your stepmother can see more. ”
"This ...... Muliangcheng is cold all year round, and it is not a suitable place for apricot trees to grow. Can the stepmother also be from the capital? Qi Mingluan is figuring out, how to explore Mutong's mouth, this is simply a matter of extracting teeth from the tiger's mouth, and it is a bit difficult to make the old fox of an old fox loosen his mouth and let go of the meat in his mouth.
"Yes." Qi Mingluan asked, Mu Tong answered, happy, maybe there was a girl in front of him who was less than ten years old, maybe it was the righteous daughter he liked in his heart, "Later, the injury was better, but there was no memory, and he slowly recovered after giving birth to Jianping, saying that he had been to the apricot blossom forest in the back mountain of the capital when he was young, and he remembered the picturesque scene deeply." ”
"Then these two saplings, why didn't my father-in-law plant them at the post station to look better for my stepmother every day?" Qi Mingluan stood beside the apricot sapling, and he was very embarrassed to find that he had to look up.
"Isn't there a person who loves apricot trees in Qifu, and there are hundreds of flowers in the courtyard of Qifu, but there is a lack of apricot blossoms, isn't it a pity?" Mu Tong looked at Qi Mingluan's very cute appearance, and said something plausible, "The same is true of your stepmother's meaning, it is rare to have an old person in Qi Mansion who has not been seen for many years." ”
"The deceased? Who? The father-in-law came to Qi's mansion to see the old man? "This is the purpose of Mu Tong's approach to Qifu? Xinghua, there is only a story with Xinghua in Qifu, and there is only grandmother, and no one else knows about this except for grandmother, Qingxi and herself.
"Xiao Mingluan, don't you know that Mrs. Qi's favorite flower is also an apricot blossom. For many years, my stepfather, I have been looking for your stepmother's former relatives or acquaintances, and I finally found some clues, but I ...... Some things came out of the Father's expectations. ”
"By the way, if it weren't for your father, I really wouldn't have seen that Shaocheng was not Mrs. Qi's biological son, Shaocheng was respectful and filial to Mrs. Qi, which shows that Mrs. Qi taught very well."
The topic turned to Qi Shaocheng, and Qi Mingluan had just a clue and was disrupted again.
"Is it so important to be born? The eldest brother is indeed not the mother's biological child, but the mother is kind-hearted, how can she bear the eldest brother who has not been taken care of by her mother since she was a child, and then carries the status of the concubine, the mother is kind and filial, and what is the importance of the master mother and son-in-law. ”
It is estimated that as soon as his father drank too much wine, he spit out everything, and he must have talked about the life experience of the eldest brother to Mu Tong, plus tens of thousands of words like sorry for his mother.
"Died in childbirth, right?" Mu Tong seemed to have guessed what Qi Mingluan would say, but there was a faint hint of sarcasm in his tone.
If he hadn't had some true feelings for Min, he wouldn't have looked for her former family and the child who didn't know whereabouts. Now, the old man has found it, and the child has also found it, but should I break this matter?
"Father-in-law knows?" Qi Mingluan had to be surprised, how could that old man say everything, and he was relieved when he thought about it again, it was Beihou Mutong, what he wanted to know, what could not be known.
"My father-in-law wants to ask Xiao Mingluan one thing, if it is a person you think has been dead for many years, but it is still or, will you be happy or unhappy?"
Mu Tong raised his hand and fiddled with the hanging beads hanging on Qi Mingluan's head, and asked tentatively?
"Dead for a long time? Not dead? "Could it be that after Qi Mingluan thought about it, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, in this way, it would make sense.
