The afternoon of midsummer is hot, and the trees know one after another, which makes people feel a little restless after listening to it for a long time.

The lotus flowers on this side of the Mufu Water Pavilion have already sprung up several flower bones, slim and elegant, and the top of the head is a little pink and white. Looking at the lotus leaves, you can see the red koi in the gaps of the lotus leaves from time to time, and the flicking tail fin stirs up a little splash, like a jade bead sprinkled.

Because of the proximity to the water, it can be considered cool without ice checks. After the summer, Muqingling spends most of his time here, or reading books, or practicing calligraphy. The fan she promised to write to Xiao Lanwei has not been started yet, and every time she thinks of an idea, she feels bad when she starts writing, and she is afraid that she will not be able to send it if the writing is broken.

After repeating it a few times, Mu Qingling simply put away the fan and put his mind on the unfinished piccolo.

Speaking of this flute, it was also a whim of Mu Qingling before, thinking that Xiao Lanwei could return the piccolo made by her father to her, and the gifts were still exchanged, and she also learned to make one and then give it to him. It's a pity that the rest of the things are one after another, and after a few months, the bamboo doesn't even look like a flute, and it is mixed in a pile of tools, and it seems that it is only used as another material.

"Girl, why don't you find someone else to do it, where do you do these rough jobs, I see that you cut it with a knife, as if it was cut on my heart, how good is it if you hurt your hand." Yunqiao watched Mu Qingling holding a sharp knife to sharpen bamboo, his face full of worry.

Mu Qingling slashed for a while, looked at both ends, and said while moving: "Where is it so easy to cut your hands, you don't have to worry about it." Don't bother me here, go and see if I have made the ice melons and fruits well, and send some. ”

Yunqiao was sent away by Mu Qingling step by step, Mu Qingling looked at her like that, funny, since the incident in Yunwai Temple, Yunqiao has always been a little overprotective of her, and even a cup of tea is afraid that the water will burn her.

Mu Qingling looked at the bamboo pipe in her hand, she had a headache, she had never done this kind of thing, she could only grope for herself little by little according to the methods in the book, these tools were still found from Mu Jiangxuan's study, but many of the words in the book were special words, and it looked a little difficult.

Mu Qingling was concentrating on comparing the steps in the book, and always felt that the skirt seemed to be hooked by something, and there was a slight pull. Mu Qingling looked down and saw that the white rabbit who had grown up a long time was at her feet, and her mouth was shrugging her skirt.

"Why are you here!" Mu Qingling was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly leaned down to pick it up. The rabbit probably ate too well during this time, his weight soared, and he was heavy in his hands.

Seeing it appear here, Mu Qingling looked up and looked around, and sure enough, he saw Xiao Lanling walking slowly this way. Mu Qingling thought about it, took out a free hand, put away the things on the table, put them in the box and covered the lid.

"I said why did this guy run so fast, it turned out that he knew that you were here. On weekdays, I wouldn't let it take two more steps, but now it's gone. "Xiao Lan hasn't come in yet, and the words have already arrived. Mu Qingling hugged the rabbit and smiled: "On such a hot day, people are too lazy to move, let alone it?" Don't talk about rabbits, I haven't seen my brother out of the courtyard for a long time, and you're embarrassed to laugh at him? ”

Xiao Lanhuan walked to the table and sat down, and said lazily: "Okay, okay, I know that I can't talk about it, let alone me, the first two days Chang Lin grabbed its ears and the little maid ran to protect it." ”

Although Chang Lin's image in the house has improved a lot now, but his personality dictates, there are still a lot of little maids and little girls who are afraid of him when they see him, that day the little maid stood in front of Chang Lin, and said with a stumble, let Chang Lin not be angry, let go of this poor rabbit, while his eyes were full of tears, as if he was going to cry out in fear in the next second.

Chang Lin carried the rabbit left and right, and finally handed the rabbit to the little maid with a wooden face.

God knows he just saw the rabbit jumping into the mud puddle and came and carried it away.

Speaking of Chang Lin, Mu Qingling couldn't help but think of Yu Wenyuan. Chang Lin and Yu Wenyuan caught the traitors very smoothly, although the Holy Puritan Sect is a cult, but Mu Jiangxuan has been in power for many years, the officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have clarified the rules, the law is severe, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Only some of the old people of the Holy Puritanism still remember the glory of the year, this time taking advantage of Mu Jiangxuan's death, the new governor has not yet arrived, and Xiao Lanxuan, the emperor's younger brother and the empress dowager's youngest son, is here, so they chose to fight to the death. For the sake of Xiao Lanwei, most of the combat power was folded on the side of Yunwai Temple, and there were some rabbles left, and they were frightened when they saw the soldiers and horses commanding the envoys, so they did not encounter any obstacles all the way to suppress the bandits.

There is no big force around Queen Nayu, but he is relying on his background and has become a deputy sect leader in the Holy Puritanism. He wanted to do something big, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, and he was copied by Yu Wenyuan and others. However, this person was also stubborn, and seeing that there was no way out, he simply wiped his neck with a knife, and he was gone.

After returning from the counterinsurgency, Chang Lin simply returned to Xiao Lanwei's side. It was hard work for Yu Wenyuan, who followed behind Wu Commander Shi to deal with the follow-up matters, Xiao Lanwei had the heart to recommend him, and he naturally had to do things perfectly, so as not to waste Xiao Lanhuan's intentions.

"My cousin has been so busy these days that he can't be at home, I don't know how I'm doing now." Mu Qingling sighed lightly, Xiao Lanwei looked at him, and suddenly smiled evilly: "Senior sister doesn't go out, she doesn't know about the official office, and it's normal to worry about her cousin." But I know, it's better for my sister to ask me, so as not to worry about being bored at home. ”

Mu Qingling knew that he was not at ease when he saw Xiao Lanhuan like that, turned around, and said lightly: "Anyway, I'm back, what else can happen in Hangzhou City?" I don't ask you, you like to talk about it or not. ”

Xiao Lanwei saw that Mu Qingling was not in the trap, so she lay on the table and called out: "Oops, oops, oops, the little girl's waist is stiff and disobedient, if you don't call her brother, forget it, and now she has learned to shake her face." No, no, my heart is broken, and no one else cares about it? ”

Mu Qingling looked around, then stomped his feet, and said hurriedly: "Such a big prince, how can you learn from these scoundrels!" What's the matter if someone sees it! ”

Xiao Lan was a scoundrel to the end, and said disapprerovitically: "It's hard to recognize a girl, people still don't appreciate it, it's useless for me to think about such a big prince, whoever likes to look at it, anyway, I don't care." ”

"Who doesn't appreciate it!" Mu Qingling glared at Xiao Lanwei and said, "Dare to call all those senior brothers I called on others?" ”

Xiao Lanwei stretched out his hands forward, his entire upper body was lying on the table, and said with a helpless expression: "Mu Da was full of peach and plum all over the world before his death, who knows who your senior brother is referring to." Let's just talk about Hangzhou City, that Zhou Qingnian will be the first to be worthy of your senior brother. ”

Mu Qingling saw that the more he talked, the more unseemly he became, and said angrily and funny: "You just talk, talk well, and talk to others Lord Zhou, when did I call Lord Zhou Senior Brother, don't mess around." ”

Xiao Lanyu pursed her lips, and a pair of bony hands slid wildly on the mahogany box where Mu Qingling was holding the piccolo. didn't speak, only glanced at Mu Qingling from time to time, and his eyes were aggrieved, just like Mu Qingling didn't pay back the money he owed.

"Okay, okay, what do you want, you say, do this picture, I don't know, I think I'm wrong with you." Mu Qingling was unable to be seen by Xiao Lanhuan, so she had to compromise, but she didn't forget to glance at him, but her eyes were wandering, but she had some of her daughter's coquettish attitude

Xiao Lanwei heard Mu Qingling say this, so she propped herself up like a face, dragging her chin, like a cat basking in the sun, lazy and seductive.

"Call me." Xiao Lanwei dragged out her voice and said slowly.

Mu Qingling was stunned for a moment, and then reacted to what he meant. Twilight's cheeks turned red and she opened her mouth, but she still couldn't scream.

"Hurry up." Xiao Lanyu shook her finger in front of Mu Qingling, and then nodded on the table. Mu Qingling bit her lip and glared at Xiao Lanhuan, the word brother was nothing, when she was in Wang Gui's house before, she didn't call Xiao Lanhuan like this, but I don't know why, now in front of Xiao Lanhuan, she can't call these two words.

"You are the prince of the dynasty, where can you call it casually, I don't dare." Mu Qingling stared at the rabbit in her arms with her eyes down and said.

Xiao Lanhuan laughed, Mu Qingling knew that this person was going to hold back his bad idea as soon as he heard it, and sure enough, he heard Xiao Lanhuan say: "But I was negligent, I will give the imperial brother a fold and let him give you a princess!" Then you can call me as a matter of course! ”

Xiao Lanwei said that she was about to get up and leave, as if she was going to go back to her guest house to write a letter to the emperor. Mu Qingling looked at Xiao Lanjun, she really couldn't tell if this person was joking or serious, seeing that he was about to walk out of the water pavilion, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "You come back!" ”

"What's wrong? Didn't you say you didn't dare to call it casually? Don't worry, my imperial brother loves me very much, and it's not difficult for me to ask for a princess for you......" Xiao Lanling was still talking nonsense in a serious way, Mu Qingling was angry, and stuffed the rabbit in his arms into Xiao Lanhuan's face and blocked his mouth.

Caught off guard and gnawed a mouthful of rabbit fur, the rabbit uncle who was bitten was still unhappy, kept kicking his legs and kicked him in the face several times. Xiao Lanwei hurriedly picked up the rabbit down, turned his head and spit out the fine fluff in his mouth.

Finally saw Xiao Lanwei eat a turtle, Mu Qingling couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Yes!" Let you talk nonsense later. ”

"Yo, Xiao Gongzi, what's wrong?" Yunqiao, who came over with melons and fruits, saw Xiao Lanhuan standing at the door of the water pavilion, holding a rabbit in his hand, spitting something on the ground with a tangled face.

"Leave him alone, he is talking nonsense all day long, God can't even look at it." Mu Qingling glanced at Xiao Lanhuan, turned around and walked to the table and sat down. Yunqiao looked at Xiao Lanhuan, then at Mu Qingling, stepped forward and put the fruit plate in his hand, and said with some hesitation: "That...... Xiao Gongzi, let me make you a bowl of tea? ”

Mu Qingling was still soft-hearted in the end, and seeing that Xiao Lanwei was really choking on rabbit fur, she motioned to Yunqiao to get water. Xiao Lanwei walked over and sat down with a rabbit in her arms, looked at Mu Qingling and said, "Senior sister, you really have to do it." ”

"If you talk nonsense, I can still do it!" Mu Qingling said, thought about it, and took the rabbit over and hugged it.

It just so happened that Yunqiao came over with the sour plum soup in a jade bowl with water, and as soon as he took out the sour plum soup that had just been iced, there was still a curling mist around him. The container made of water jade is crystal clear, containing light brown sour plum soup, and there are some petals floating on it, and an ordinary bowl of sour plum soup has a different kind of exquisiteness.

Yunqiao put down the tray, took the matching small bowl of water jade, and first filled a bowl for Xiao Lanwei, Mu Qingling said: "Hurry up and drink some, it can make you make such a fuss on a hot day, I don't know whether to be angry with you or laugh at you." ”

Xiao Lanwei took a sip and drank most of the sour plum soup, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed: "It's amazing, I don't dare to mess with you again in the future." ”

"Well deserved!" Mu Qingling said with a smile: "Let you not be in shape all day long, look at it, even our Xiaobai can't look at it!" Mu Qingling lifted the white rabbit and sent it to Xiao Lanwei.

Looking at the rabbit's jewel-like red eyes, and then at the person holding the rabbit, Mu Qingling still had a bit of naughtiness on her face that she didn't have time to put away, Xiao Lan smiled, she always looked like a little girl, rare, rare.
