Cherry.

It's a beautiful word.

The pronunciation is also beautiful, and the imagery is good.

The fruits are incomparable, and the natural famous products are high. People love it a little more than they love other fresh fruits.

When ripe, it is fragrant and delicate. The red beads on the gold plate turned, and the shell teeth bit lightly, staining a touch of lipstick.

But if you think about it, the tip of your tongue is sweet and sour.

When I was told about today's trip last night, I didn't sleep for most of the night.

"Jingnan Ten Mile Pavilion, ten acres of cherry orchard." Yun Danshu's words have been hidden in my heart for a long time. And today, it is the time to see these ten acres of cherry blossom pearls!

It was also the first time to go out of the city gate.

The walls are so thick and heavy that they are made of rammed earth and blue bricks, and when you pass through the doorway that is several feet deep, you feel cool.

I leaned curiously on the carriage window and watched non-stop.

Uncle stroked my horn bun and said with a smile: "Little girl, come, give my uncle a beat!" ”

I snorted: "My aunt combed it, saying that it was a folk custom, and those who have not decided to marry have to be like this!" ”

My aunt knocked off my uncle's hand: "If you still mention this, I'll persuade you for a while." In the past, I dressed up every day, and I was provoked outside. ”

I lowered my eyes, displeased. I knew what my aunt meant, and secretly blamed me for provoking Nian Yi'an. If he thinks I'm naïve, he might just back off.

Daddy chimed in: "Listen to your aunt." ”

"Hmm." I reluctantly agreed.

The wavering thoughts were finally covered by the fruity scent of the sky.

The carriage was on the side of the road, lined with cherry trees. The red fruit bunches on the branches reflect the jumping sun, a little bit of Danxin, born among the green leaves, very lively.

Such a grand scene is abundant, and my heart is also rich after seeing it.

The owner of the cherry orchard lived deep in the cherry orchard and only used a simple wooden fence as a courtyard wall. There is a plaque on the wooden door, and the fruit source of the Yun family is written on it.

The carriage drove into the courtyard, and we got out of the carriage one by one. The spring breeze greeted a couple in their fifties, and a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old, with a horn similar to that of a man's hair.

The two hurriedly made a big salute, and Daddy hurried to help him up. The old man said with tears in his eyes: "My lord, the humble position has finally brought you here. ”

The lady came and took my hand, and stroked my face with her rough palm, and the calluses hurt me a little.

She also said excitedly: "This is our young lady, it's the first time I've seen her since she was born." ”

My aunt pushed me, "Call someone quickly." ”

I hurriedly said, "Hello Auntie, Uncle Yun is good." ”

The house is simple, the main house has three mud rooms, covered with wool and straw. There are two small rooms in the side house, which is a firewood room and a kitchen. Therefore, they simply did not lead us into the house, and directly used the large pavilion in the courtyard as a place for hospitality.

Perhaps there were already a few large stones on this land, but now they had been polished smooth and flat, and they had become large stone benches, almost the size of a sitting. With this late spring season that is already warm, it is quite comfortable to sit on.

A large rectangular wooden table is surrounded by a stone bench on three sides, on which there are a few tea utensils and tea cans, as well as a few eye-catching new teacups, as if specially prepared for us.

Yun Bo's beard trembled when he spoke: "This cherry orchard is also more than thirty years old, and it used to be only taken care of by people. Haha, now I don't think about it, I've been moving in for more than ten years. We little boys were born in this orchard. ”

Daddy asked the boy to sit down in front of him and asked him what his name was.

He also didn't recognize life, and replied generously: "Yunshangzhou." ”

Daddy smiled, "Good name." ”

Yun Bo looked at his aunt again: "Miss Su, we haven't seen each other for ten years, right?" ”

My aunt smiled, "Yes." Cheng didn't think that the two of them had been living in the southern suburbs of the capital, and they thought they had returned to their hometown early in the morning. ”

Yun Bo sighed: "The old garden is long gone, and everywhere can be home." ”

I wondered in my heart, my aunt and Zuo Xiang have always been quite communicative, why didn't Yun Danshu find her aunt and tell her about the whereabouts of her parents?

So, he interjected and asked, "Auntie doesn't know that the concubine of the eldest son of the Li Xiang family is the daughter of the Yun family?" ”

"I've heard of it. I'm just waiting for someone to tell me. ”

The aunt raised her eyebrows and looked at Uncle Yun.

Yun Bo said: "It's just because it's embarrassing to say." The marriage with Li Xiang's family in the early years dragged on until three years ago, and Xiangye reluctantly agreed to the appointment. I dragged my eldest girl until I was twenty-two years old. ”

My aunt's eyes blinked: "Brother Yun is also taking great pains for his own children. ”

Yun Bo smiled bitterly: "Huh! The children have been affected by me, and in order not to involve me, a person who should have died a long time ago, it was also a hasty matter to marry the children. A sedan chair was carried over, but the ceremony was not dared. ”

As soon as the words began, Aunt Yun came over with a big tray in her hand. On the tray, there are several white porcelain bowls.

She was very enthusiastic, put it in front of me first, and when I looked at it, I immediately filled my mouth with relish~

A full cane pulp poured with cherries!

The white plate is reflected with red jade beads, wrapped in ice crystal syrup. The cherries are still pitted, and they are eaten directly with a small spoon, which is simply a super large mouthful!

Then there are several cherry-themed dim sums, including cherry meat, stewed duck with cherry, and cherry biro...... At the end, there is also the fragrant cherry wine with the lid open.

Aunt Yun said: "From last year's wave of cherries, I picked the best fruit to brew. The wine jar has been kept in the ground behind the house, just dug up! ”

As soon as I tasted it, it was better to be sweet and sour, and I was greedy for the cup.

Straight to drink his cheeks through the red, slightly drunk. My aunt didn't tell me to drink any more, but brought me a small basket: "Pick some fresh fruit from the branches yourself, and we will bring it back to the palace to eat, don't go too far." ”

I swayed into the cherry grove with my small basket.

This cherry tree is really the creation of heaven and earth, born is not tall or short, my small head, a raise of my hand, can still touch a lot of branches. The branches are full of heavy fruit.

I chose the fruit with the clearest red color. In the depths of this forest, there are different varieties of cherries. The skin of some fruits is not all red, but red and white, which really looks like my drunken little face at this time.

greedy for the taste of each plant, so I picked only a few pieces from each tree. I took them off so they could be kept for a few days.

Picking and picking, when I turned around, I couldn't find the thatched house, and the whole person was lost in this cherry forest.

But I'm not afraid, maybe I have the strength of wine, maybe I feel good, I continue to experience the feeling of being full of fruity fragrance at the moment.

Suddenly, I saw something different.

I looked at it in amazement. It is so tall, dense and slim.

Although the fruit is not as sparse as the bunches on other trees, each cherry is as big as a small lantern!

Oh my God, is this a cherry or a sand fruit!

I stood on tiptoe, picked one, wiped it with my handkerchief, and gave it to my mouth.

With a squeak, the juice splattered everywhere, splashing a few drops on the clothes, as if stained with rouge.

It was very comfortable, and the drunkenness suddenly became even more popular.

So I sat down under the tree, leaning against the roots, following the drunkenness and sleepiness, looking at the green leaves in front of me and the red beads that were sent into the canopy, and fell asleep very quickly.

It's like entering a dream, because the world in front of you has an extra light red circle. But it's not like it, because it seems too real.

I dreamed of a bejeweled woman.

The state of her skin tells me that she is in her forties, dressed in a gaudy style, with cicada sideburns and a gorgeous form. Wearing the highest specification of the twelve-flowered tree hairpin, beaded eyebrows and golden eyes, the mouth is painted with black ointment.

Skirts, shirts, shawls, all gold. Tulip gold, kumquat gold, placer gold, black gold, uneven flow waves.

She looked at me quietly, and I was surprised: "Woman? Bai Xianzhao? ”

She smiled, and it was extravagant. Then he turned serious and arrogant, and said: "Ignorant child, you dare to call your own name." ”

I was shocked: "You...... Aren't you, long gone? ”

She pointed to the cherry tree I was leaning on: "This tree is what it is." It grows on my body, sucking my flesh for nourishment, and it grows so luxuriantly and bears so fruit! ”

Yes??

I was almost crying!

It's also a little nausea-back! Did I eat cherries nourished by human blood?

Woo woo, help!

When she saw that I was scared, she covered her mouth and snickered. Two more steps closer to me.

I hesitated: "You, are you buried here?" ”

She bowed her head, "Yes." When I was condemned, the owner of this orchard came in disguise and collected my body and buried it in this wild place. There was no grave mound, and only a small stone plaque was erected as a monument. ”

I quickly searched around the tree, and sure enough, there was.

She continued: "Because before the punishment, I ate this fruit and swallowed the kernel by mistake. Then a cherry tree grew out of my belly. He could not bear to hoe, so he grew from this tree, and grew more and more luxuriant. In the end, I simply repaired this cherry orchard to protect the cherry tree that I had conjured. ”

I looked at her timidly: "Then you, is there something wrong with me?" "I hugged my knees and curled up at the root of the tree.

She walked up to me, squatted down, pinched my little face and scolded, "What's the matter with you?" There are a hundred and eight fruits on the tree, and you have eaten one, and now the number is not enough, but what is good? ”

When I heard it, I was here to collect debts, but I had already eaten it, so what should I do?

Otherwise, run!

But before he could stand up, he was grabbed by the ear and pushed back to the ground.

After doing this a few times, I had to squat back at the root of the tree and said with teary eyes: "Lord Xiangguo, the little girl doesn't know what is going on, please let me go." ”

She was domineering: "Didn't your parents teach you that you must compensate for damage and misappropriation of other people's things, and admit punishment for doing something wrong?" ”

I rubbed my eyes: "Lord Xiangguo might as well make it clear, how should the little girl compensate?" ”

She smiled lightly and said: "Originally, the day when these one hundred and eight fruits were ripe and fell naturally was the time when I was reincarnated. Now, I can only continue to be this lonely ghost. ”

My mind twitched and asked, "Where was Xiangguo originally going to be reincarnated?" ”

She said solemnly: "The harem Zhang Cai is in the womb." ”

"Huh??" I was stunned!

Before she finished speaking, the female minister suddenly said: "Someone is coming." Little one, we'll talk about it another day. ”

Then the red circle of light in front of me disappeared, and I suddenly felt myself falling back into a deep sleep. Leaning on the trunk of the tree, sleeping soundly in the sweet wind. The basket of fruit was toppled beside him, and red beads were scattered all over the skirt.

It was my uncle who came looking for me.

When he saw that I was sleeping soundly, he smiled, picked me up, and went back.
