"Look, my water pavilion is beautiful, right?" Mu Hongsheng pointed to the water pavilion with one hand, and turned her head to look at Zheng Ying, with a happy smile on her face, it was so cute that Zheng Ying almost couldn't help but reach out and touch her face.

However, although she wanted to get closer, Zheng Ying still maintained a calm appearance on the surface, and even with a hint of coldness, she nodded slightly at Mu Hongsheng, and praised as if she was saying kind words: "The scenery is really good." ”

"Go over there and sit, look over there from the water pavilion, the scenery is even better." Mu Hongshang turned her head and took the lead in taking a step, running along the winding covered bridge, the peach-colored moonflower skirt moved with the wind, like a light red mist, floating and drifting, as if it could float into people's eyes and hearts.

Until many years later, Zheng Ying will still remember the back of the red dress running happily that day, and that scene seems to be engraved in his heart, and he has never forgotten it.

Zheng Ying stood behind Mu Hongsheng, just like this, watching her run along the covered bridge into the water pavilion, and then sticking out her head from the wide open window of the water pavilion and beckoning to him, he took a step and walked in the direction of the water pavilion.

The water chestnut, who had been following Mu Hongsheng and Zheng Ying not far away, saw her young lady running around, and she was already anxious, but with King Xin, she didn't dare to cross Zheng Ying to chase Mu Hongsheng, so she could only stand not far behind Zheng Ying, on her toes, stretching her neck, and looking at Mu Hongsheng's direction worriedly. It wasn't until Zheng Ying stepped forward that the water chestnut hurriedly ran to follow.

When Zheng Ying stepped into the water pavilion, Mu Hongsheng was standing by the window, smiling, like a budding hibiscus flower, she squinted her eyes and took a deep breath, then turned her head and smiled: "Today's weather is good, it is very comfortable to sit here." Lord Wang, why don't I invite you to a cup of tea, and I can be regarded as thanking you for your help at the foot of Qinglian Mountain. ”

Mu Hongsheng's proposal was very tempting to Zheng Ying, he really wanted to sit quietly face-to-face with the girl he liked again and have a cup of tea, but even so, he still put away all his desires, and shook his head at Mu Hongsheng very decisively: "You led the way before, but now you have arrived at the Water Pavilion, you can go back." Today, you have a banquet in your house, and I am afraid that it is not appropriate for you to delay here for a long time. ”

Mu Hongsheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "You are also a distinguished guest at home, and you came out alone to breathe, and you didn't even bring an entourage, if I leave, you will be the only one here." I'm afraid it's not good to leave you alone in the water pavilion, it's remote here, and no one will lead you back to Zhengrong Pavilion, and my mother will blame me if she knows. ”

"I'm not a child, where do I need someone to serve me all the time," Zheng Ying looked at Mu Hongsheng with some amusement: "Besides, no matter how big your garden is, can it be bigger than the back garden of King Xin's mansion?" It's just a return to Zhengrong Pavilion, how can you get lost in a short distance. Even if I really can't find the way, just ask someone and find out where you need to worry so much. I'm not very old, but I like to worry about it. ”

"But......" Mu Hongshang glanced out a few times, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke again: "Today is the eldest brother's wedding banquet, and the servants in the family are either busy near the Zhengrong Pavilion and the Qushui Pavilion, or waiting in the tea room near the flower dock. The prince watched the scenery here, and he didn't even have a person who served tea. Why don't you do this, Sister Water Chestnut, you go to the tea room in Huawu to spread the word, ask a maid to bring some tea and snacks, and ask someone to go to your grandmother's small kitchen to bring a plate of osmanthus cake. ”

At the moment, there were no other maids and servants around, and Mu Hongsheng was the only one who could change the water chestnut, so the water chestnut immediately agreed, turned around and ran in the direction of the small teahouse in the flower dock. Fat cat bar

"Osmanthus cake?" Zheng Ying was stunned when he heard Hongshang mention osmanthus cake, of course he knew that Mu Hongsheng, the little girl, liked the osmanthus flavor of dim sum the most, he was just a little surprised, I don't know why Mu Hongshang suddenly mentioned osmanthus cake at this time.

"I've wanted to invite you to try the osmanthus cake in my grandmother's kitchen," Mu Hongsheng showed a somewhat proud look on her face: "When I was in the palace last year, you invited me to eat snacks, I remember I told you that everything in the palace is good, but this osmanthus cake is far worse than that in my grandmother's kitchen." At that time, you said that if you have the chance, you will definitely try it. It's a pity that you are the prince, and you never have the opportunity to come to my house as a guest, but I have always remembered it. Today, it happened that you came to help my brother welcome his family, and I just took the opportunity to invite you to taste the osmanthus cake at my house. ”

"It's been almost a year, and you still remember." Zheng Ying's deep and clear eyes couldn't help but be dyed with a smile, which made his sharp eyebrows and eyes suddenly dyed a little soft.

"Of course," Mu Hongsheng nodded seriously: "I remember everything." ”

"It seems that you have your favorite snacks at home all the time," Zheng Ying did not refuse, but sat down directly at the square table in the water pavilion, looking like she was waiting for tea and other snacks.

"It was specially ordered by my grandmother," Mu Hongshang replied with a smile: "Today's banquet at home, although tea and snacks are always prepared in the front hall and flower hall, and there are also banquets in Zhengrong Pavilion and Qushui Pavilion, but grandmother is always worried that in front of the guests, we can't sit down and rest." My grandmother got up in the morning and told us that if we were tired and hungry, we should not care about others and just go to her yard and hide. ”

"Mrs. Mu really feels sorry for the child." Zheng Ying also smiled.

"Yes," Mu Hongshang nodded happily: "Grandmother deliberately left a cook in the small kitchen to listen to the instructions, and also prepared a lot of snacks we like in advance, including the osmanthus cake I like, the jade rice balls that the fourth brother likes, the shrimp soup dumplings that the fifth brother likes, and the acacia crisp that Jinyi likes, but unfortunately there are no rose cakes." ”

Zheng Ying also didn't expect that after nearly a year, Mu Hongsheng actually remembered that he liked rose cakes, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, and after being silent for a while, he said: "You actually remember this." ”

Mu Hongshang was slightly stunned, feeling a little speechless, but since Zheng Ying asked, she couldn't help but answer. Therefore, she blinked her big sparkling eyes and replied lightly: "It is the season of roses, and the rose cake is a snack for the season!" ”

"Yes......" Zheng Ying looked at the dense wood hibiscus next to the water pavilion through the window lattice, and replied softly: "It has passed the mango seed, and the roses in the Cloud Hall are in bloom." ”

"Lord Wang," Mu Hongshang looked at Zheng Ying's side face, endured and endured, and finally couldn't help but ask: "You have already left the palace to open the mansion, can you still eat the newly made rose cakes in the palace from time to time?" ”
