Lu Jingxing handed the reins in his hand to the coachman, walked around from behind the carriage, stood in front of several people and stretched out his sleeves to point to the open courtyard gate: "After driving for so long, I must be tired, go first and rest for a while." ”

"Mansion master, I was really wrong, you can spare me this time, I promise here, I will never inquire about your private affairs again in the future." The group walked towards the courtyard, and Lu Ci, who threw the reins to the coachman, was wrapped around the side in front of Lu Jingxing, walked backwards, with a depressed face, and started the boring topic on the road again. Along the way, he said all the good things, but Lu Jingxing turned a deaf ear and ignored him at all.

Everyone couldn't see it, so they heard Lu Ci's words in a fog, and they didn't know what kind of mistake he made early in the morning, and it was worth begging for mercy like this at this moment.

In front of so many people, being looked at by several people with meaningless eyes, Lu Jingxing couldn't ignore it anymore, and stared at Lu Ci coldly: "There's no need to discuss." This is the end of the matter, and Hugh will have to mention it again. ”

"Asked me to go to the hospital for a consultation, and it was barely okay. But I'm a fortune teller, oh, no, it's a reckoning. Lu Ci danced his hands, frowned slightly, and was in a hurry, but he actually said that the settlement was a fortune telling, which caused the laughter of the finches on the side to ring like a silver bell. After realizing her gaffe, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand and forcibly suppressed her laughter.

Zhong Limu glanced at the little girl beside Ling Xiao who was forcibly holding back a smile, a trace of doubt gradually came out of his mind, and finally entered his eyes, and he couldn't help but raise his finger and point at Lu Ci and asked, "What kind of mistake did Lu Shaoxia make?" ”

"Little things. It's just that there is something wrong with the gentleman in charge of the accounts in a medical hall, so he plans to let Lu resign as a substitute. Lu Jingxing's face was calm and calm, and he waved his hand, saying it lightly.

Ling Xiao glanced at Lu Jingxing and the two of them a few times with strange eyes, lowered his head and stepped into the courtyard, before he opened his lips lightly: "It seems that the punishment this time is not light." The two have ghosts. Lu Ci, what is the matter? I suddenly wanted to hear about it. ”

Seeing that after Lu Ci heard her words, he first became a spirit, and then he pursed his mouth at her, shook his head again, and waved his hand, which was obviously a move to refuse to tell her. There must be a ghost in the hearts of these two people, and it seems to be related to her, and they are both empty at the moment. She became more and more suspicious, and turned her head to focus her questioning gaze on Lu Jingxing's waveless eyes.

In fact, it's not that Lu Jingxing is weak-minded, but that Lu Ci's appearance is really biased, making Lu Jingxing seem to have problems. At least in the eyes of outsiders, that's the case.

The others were also full of curiosity at this time, and their eyes fell on Lu Jingxing. Seeing that Lu Jingxing paused slightly, he naturally whispered a few words in Ling Xiao's ear. And Ling Xiao couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, but the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he glanced at Lu Jingxing instead, don't look around, and walked towards the depths of the courtyard by himself, Lu Jingxing stared at the back and smiled clearly.

Zhong Limu and Yan Linglast didn't know what the two of them were whispering, but seeing this scene, the curiosity in their hearts had long been replaced by relief and complexity. It was not the content of the conversation between the two that was concerned, but the intimate and natural movements of the two of them and the rarely revealed expression on Ling Xiao's face. The intimate interaction between the two was so generous and frank in front of them, which showed that the two of them were deeply affectionate, and they didn't need to hide it in front of outsiders, which made them have an indescribable feeling in their hearts.

The sun filled the courtyard, and wisps of cinnamon wafted through the air. The courtyard is quiet and full of vegetation, with a house on each side of the northeast side, and a path connecting to the north side of the house, behind which there are several houses hidden in the ridge of the front house.

After being stunned for a moment, Que'er was the first to react, hurriedly looked around the yard for half a circle, and hurriedly took a few steps to catch up with Ling Xiao. And Zhong Limu and Yan Linglast on the side have also returned to normal, and they all continue to walk forward with leisurely steps.

After Yu Niang entered the courtyard, she went straight to the direction of the dining room, and at this moment, only Lu Ci was still standing at the door stupidly, with a faint sadness in her eyes, thinking about the accounts. How could he do this, if he was really sent to that medical hall to be a settler, he would have to start from the beginning.

If he wants to learn this, it will be more difficult than ascending to the sky, right? He'd hated it since he was a kid. He thought about it, but he still felt that it was not possible, and he had to find a way to convince his mansion master. With a flicker of his eyes, he suddenly thought of Ling Xiao, and now he could only rely on her to intercede for him. However, he was curious again, what the mansion master had just said to Ling Xiao that made her have such a reaction.

A few people entered the main house on the east side one after another, and soon after sitting down around the table, three men in rough clothes came into the room with lacquer plates in hand, walked straight to the desk, put the four plates of pastries and a pot of tea on the table, and hurriedly withdrew after a brief salute.

Lu Jingxing lifted the jade pot, and the light yellow and translucent juice slowly poured into the pot under the spout with a trace of mist, and the fragrance was overflowing. He poured one for each of the three of them, and greeted casually, "Taste this fresh Muxi tea." ”

Yan Ling Yan leisurely picked up the cup, and his eyes naturally fell on it, the crystal liquid inside was slightly yellow, and there were a few yellow petals the size of rice grains floating on the liquid surface, coupled with the backdrop of the jade cup, it was quite a feeling of jade liquid elixir.

Yan Ling Yan sniffed slightly with the tip of his nose, and the fragrance was sweet with a hint of sweetness, which was very pleasant. In the mouth of the tea, the fragrance is overflowing instantly, and the aftertaste is endless. He shook the cup in his hand for a long time and sighed, "Not bad." ”

Seeing that Yan Linglast looked comfortable and was savoring, Zhong Limu also picked up the jade cup and sniffed it, and took a shallow sip. Soon, his face widened, and he shook his head with a smile: "I haven't drunk it before." The entrance is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet, the fragrance is light and elegant, it is very pleasant, good tea. ”

"In the hustle and bustle, seek plain and peaceful, simple and elegant. The bits and pieces of the Lu Mansion in the past few days have benefited me a lot, and I have to thank Brother Lu Xian. Yan Ling last drank the little clear liquid left in the cup, and all the comfort was on his face.

These few days of calm and tranquility were a precious experience for Yan Linglong, and such a life in Jundu seemed to be a luxury. He felt that this time the rivers and lakes were the right one, not only did he make a friend with similar interests, but now the two are brothers. And also experienced a unique elegant life, take this ordinary osmanthus as an example, in the past he only knew that it could be used to make osmanthus cake, but how could he have thought that it could also be used for tea?

Yan Linglast is also completely understood at this moment, and it is no wonder that Yu'er would be tempted by such a person, and now he would rather give up everything he has in the capital than stay with him. Such a peaceful life without quarrel with the world is indeed enviable.

Lu Jingxing heard Yan Linglast's emotion, shook his head lightly and said, "Brother Yan has seen the outside." ”

Ling Xiao handed his cup of tea to the finch standing behind him. Que'er was stunned for a moment, but when she saw that Ling Xiao was bowing slightly at her, her face suddenly showed a look of joy, and she was not polite, she took it cautiously and thanked her again and again.

Seeing this, Lu Jingxing poured two more lamps, one was handed to Ling Xiao, and the other was picked up by himself and tasted a small bite.

"Although Yu'er is colder now, she cares more about the people around her." Zhongli Mu raised his head slightly and glanced at the finch who was looking satisfied, and hooked his lips.

Ling Xiao put down the jade cup and pouted at Zhong Limu, his tone mixed with a bit of joke: "Wasn't that what I used to do?" The third brother said this, as if I used to be very rude. ”

In fact, Ling Xiao didn't know what Zhong Liyuan was like before, but her current attitude towards Qi'er still stemmed from being infected by the Lu Mansion in the past year. As Lu Jingxing said, there is no difference between the upper and lower in the Lu Mansion, and in Ling Xiao's opinion, it is true, everyone eats the same food and uses the same things, and even the residence is not much different.

Although Ling Xiao is a modern person, so many years of noble life have imperceptibly planted the idea of the distinction between master and servant in her understanding, even if she knows that it is a kind of employment relationship, she also feels that the distinction between the upper and lower is a matter of course. Therefore, in the few months in the Hou Mansion, she never cared about the maidservants around her.

"The third brother didn't mean that, don't be weird." Zhong Limu smiled lightly at Ling Xiao, his face showing a sense of helplessness that he couldn't do anything about her, but his eyes were full of pampering. He lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on the plate of osmanthus cake, his eyes suddenly lit up slightly, picked up a piece and handed it to her, "Yu'er used to love this osmanthus cake the most, come, taste it." ”

Ling Xiao never thought that she was just a joke, but she, the third brother, took it so seriously. Looking at the osmanthus cake that was handed over, she smiled, took it and took a light bite, which was smooth and delicious in her mouth.

After drinking tea and chatting, they almost rested, and a few people went out of the yard. Outside, the autumn sun was shining, and they walked along the stone path on the side of the courtyard wall, which was sprinkled with sunlight and reflected the golden light.

Although it is autumn, the sun is still a little strong, but it is a warm and comfortable feeling. They didn't have long to walk before they saw a laurel tree in front of them, and from a distance, they saw a golden yellow looming among the dark green branches and leaves, and the crown of the tree seemed to be one tree after another, stretching forward, and the fragrance of cinnamon wafted in the whole air, so that people could feel its rich fragrance without breathing.

They stepped into the laurel forest, and walked on the slightly yellowed meadow, and the excited finches saw how flourishing the flowers were, petal after petal, branch after branch, and there was not a single gap in between, as if not even a needle could be inserted.

This is the first time that Que Er has seen so many cinnamon, lingering with Ling Xiao, both of them are in an extremely comfortable mood, and their walking steps seem to have become much brisker. Not only the two of them, but Zhong Limu and Yan Linglast are also in a happy mood at the moment.
