Chapter 15: Two Flowers Bloom (Part II)

She couldn't help asking, "Sister, what kind of dim sum are you, why have you never seen it?" ”

Shen Yuan glanced at Scarlet Cloud: "You asked me, I don't know the snacks that Scarlet Cloud went to pass." Scarlet clouds, you say. Actually, she knew, but she didn't want to bother to say it in person.

"Yes." Scarlet Cloud nodded and said, "This snack is called colorful cake, and it came from the south." Use the tender green coconut, open it to extract the juice and take the meat, mash it together and boil it into a thick pulp, and then cut the leaves of a large tree called 'colorful' in the south, mash the juice, and steam them with cassava flour. Steam one layer, dry one layer, pour another layer, steam out layer by layer, and let it cool before cutting and serving. ”

"It turned out to be food from the south, no wonder I haven't seen it, just listening to it is terrible." The warbler watched for a while. Listening to Scarlet Cloud's story, it will take an hour or two for this pastry to be made, and I am afraid that it will be prepared a long time ago, just waiting for the Oiran room to pass it.

It seems that no matter how dormant the phoenix is, it is still the king of birds...... Guanying couldn't help but re-examine Mo Yuyan, the oiran she had always thought was vulnerable and famous. Phoenix, what a noble divine bird, why did you think of comparing it to Mo Yuyan? The warbler himself didn't know very well, but the idea suddenly popped up at that moment, and even if he wanted to change it later, he couldn't find a more suitable metaphor.

"One side of the water and soil, the other side of the scenery." Shen Yuan didn't care, he put it down after tasting a few pieces, held the teacup in his hand, and slowly played with his fingertips around the rim of the cup.

Guan Ying just blindly complied: "Sister is right...... By the way, the acacia in the front yard is blooming very well, would my sister like to go and see it together? ”

Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud glanced at each other instantly, and the faces of the two changed almost at the same time: the acacia in the front yard has always been Shen Yuan's least favorite thing to mention, and today she wanted to eat acacia soup for the first time, and she didn't have any pleasant colors when they met, let alone praise them a word. Although the warblers are not guilty, they are really hitting the front, and they can't help but sweat for them, and they can't imagine how their young lady will react.

"Miss, why don't you ......" Scarlet Yue immediately decided to divert the topic, but was interrupted by Shen Yuan with a wave of his hand: "It's okay." Change my clothes. Her face was as indifferent as usual, neither happy nor angry.

Guanying retreated to the outside room to wait, and when the three of them came out, Shen Yuan had already changed his clothes, and he was still dressed in the morning in clear blue, and he was covered with a milky white flower-sprinkled long armor, and he did not wear the jewelry next to it, only the pair of white jade hairpins. Guan Ying stepped forward to hold the Oiran, but was skillfully blocked by the two maids, knowing that she was unwilling to contact people, so she did not rush to annoy people, and followed the side in a proper manner, and the scarlet moon and the scarlet cloud retreated.

The summer days are always very short, and after a long delay on the Baiji water, the twilight is approaching, and the leaves of the acacia tree are sparse and begin to close, and the evening breeze gradually blows, tearing open a cool opening in the sticky summer heat. The light had begun to dim, and anyone who stood a little further away could barely tell whether there were flowers or leaves on the trees. The fragrance of the acacia flowers was originally very faint, but when it bloomed all over the tree, it also slammed into the ground without hesitation, which was very different from the delicate state of the flowers.

A few people stopped under the tree, watched the warbler step on something, and looked down to see that it was half a fallen flower. She smiled, her toes moved lightly, and she kicked the remnants away without care, and reached out to shake the corners of her skirt: "What should I be, sister, pay attention, don't slip." ”

The flower was trampled on, kicked not far away, wilted on the ground, and the bright red oleander at the corner of the top skirt intertwined, as if the life of a red flower was exhausted.

Shen Yuan lowered his head and glanced at it casually, and the remnants of the flowers suddenly became so desolate. She quickly looked away and concentrated on the blossoming of the trees.

When she was thirteen years old, she sat on a small stone bench next to her and watched Miss Mingxiang plant trees. Miss Mingxiang bent down to hold the hoe, wiped a handful of sweat, looked up and smiled at her, and seven years passed in one fell swoop.

"What's wrong with my sister?" Shen Yuan didn't speak, and Guan Ying couldn't help but be suspicious, and when he raised his eyebrows, he saw that there was a lonely look on Oiran's face. She didn't know if she had said the wrong thing, and she didn't expect that Moyu Oiran would also show such a frustrated look.

"Nothing." Shen Yuan retracted his gaze and slowly walked to the small stone table and sat down, "This acacia tree was planted by herself when the former top lady first entered the Leng Xiang Pavilion. She nodded her chin and motioned for the warbler to sit across from her, "At that time, I just sat here and watched with my own eyes. ”

"The former number one lady? Who's that? "The warbler put one arm on the table, and the stone table was cold and comfortable.

Shen Yuan was not in a hurry to tell her, and looked back at the scarlet mist of the trees for a while, before turning back leisurely and said: "That was also many years ago, that top lady is rich and beautiful, and she is gorgeous and natural, if you want me to say, there is almost no one in this world who can compare with her." ”

The warbler listened to it, but didn't believe it: "Huh? Are you sure...... If there really is such a woman, why have I never seen it in the Cold Fragrance Pavilion? ”

Shen Yuan said: "Naturally, you haven't seen it, she is no longer in the Leng Xiang Pavilion." ”

Guan Ying immediately asked, "Then where did she go?" Are you married? "If that lady has a good home, it will be a great incentive for her.

It was not difficult for Shen Yuan to see through her thoughts, and he pulled the corners of his lips with some sarcasm, but when the words came to his mouth, he stopped, and finally he didn't want to use Miss Mingxiang to speak: "I don't know, and no one knows." Later, I never heard a word about the top lady, and there was no first card in this cold incense pavilion. ”

Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud glanced at each other, and there was uneasiness in each other's eyes. For many years, Shen Yuan has never taken the initiative to mention that Ming lady, although they haven't picked it out now, they know better than anyone else in their hearts, the knot in Shen Yuan's heart is only afraid that it will be blocked again, and it will not be smooth for many days. Knowing this, they must have invited the warbler out early, and would never let her mention what acacia flowers to enjoy.

Guan Ying didn't know the trick, and only heard one thing: the top card of the Leng Xiang Pavilion was in front of Zhuyu. Although I don't know how many years ago, looking at Mo Yuyan's age, it shouldn't be too long, and he will inevitably be compared. She felt anxious for a while, it was not easy to fight with the Oiran, and it was even worse to compete with an opponent who could not be seen or touched.

"That's a pity, if she's still around, I'll have to ask for advice." She smiled reluctantly, and her mind was already planning for the future.

This position is not easy to come by, since it has been empty for many years, but it can be pocketed by itself in one fell swoop, it can be seen that he is a good one, but the difficulties in the future, I don't know how much.
