Chapter 139 The Hidden Gardener Meets Ruyi
The move in March is a rule in Mofu.
"Childe, please come in." The girl will leave and let her go into the courtyard.
Leaving and following her, I walked through the first gate tower of the weeping flowers, and saw that in the courtyard, several male servants were bowing down to wait for the garden, or cultivating soil, or watering, and they were very busy. On the wall in the middle of the east side of the main courtyard, a full moon gate was opened, which was connected to another courtyard, and on this full moon gate, the two big characters 'idle residence' were written in oracle bone inscription.
"'Idleness,' the name is elegant," he sighed. Thinking about it, in his heart, he lives in the dream of 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely going down to Nanshan', so he is particularly fond of such elegant words.
"Oh, the other courtyard is the residence of the subordinates." The girl replied to him lightly, then walked up to one of the middle-aged men who were tending to the flowers and plants, and said, "Antu, there is a little brother here, who said that he sent Tu Tu. ”
Antu straightened up, glanced at the girl behind him, and then looked at the thin branch of the tulip flower he held in his hand, and a straight smile appeared on the contour of his hard face, and said to the girl: "Lingnu, in our courtyard, there are enough tuds for hedges." Who taught and sent it? ”
When he heard the name 'Lingnu', he was a little stunned for a while, and stood there stiffly, and then took a closer look at the girl who was called Lingnu, and said in his heart: You have changed your appearance. However, you should be the little sister 'Lingnu' that Zhixi once led to the green sac, right? Unexpectedly, she is still a smart woman.
"It's useless for you to look at me," Ling Nu thought that she was leaving and looking at her because the shore soil said that there were enough tuds to be transplanted, and she was afraid that what she had in her hands would not be settled, and she would not be able to communicate with his master when she returned, so she said to him, half sympathetically, half disgustedly, "You sent it, and it is too late." Besides, since I saw you, I also had some doubts in my heart, how can I send a stick? In our Mo Mansion, customers have always sent flowers, all of them are one car and one car, at least, there should be a basket, yes. ”
I couldn't imagine that I was disgusted as a messenger for the messenger as a messenger with the body of six people. Whenever he talked about Zhixi, he became less exquisite, and even a little clumsy, and he didn't ask what the purpose of reporting to the gods and going to Buzhou Mountain to ask for Tu Xi was. He thought to himself that Tu Si Nu was the branch in his hand, but he didn't think that on the Mo Mansion where Tu Yu lived, Tu was full of Tu Li. can only be appreciated as a flower, how can he expect to be able to return Zhixi's soul as he imagined?
"Can I meet the head of the house?" He bowed his hand, lowered his posture, and begged the Lingnu: "It was he who specially sent someone to go to the branch I wanted, and if he didn't offer it with his own hands, it seems that I am not sincere enough and do not keep my promise." ”
"Look at you like this, everything feels fresh, and you don't look like a local, you have come from afar, look at your pitiful sight, come with me, I will take you to the courtyard of the head of the family to have a look, if you are here, help you introduce it." Lingnu is really a kind girl.
After leaving and waving his hand to thank him, he followed her, there are four other weeping flower gatehouses in the courtyard, copying the verandah and weaving the cloth, but seeing that each courtyard is graceful and luxurious, the strange grass and fairy vines, a cloth with water, the other courtyard is even more fragrant, full of tulips, leading vines.
Tu Yu's residence was in this fifth courtyard, and when she arrived at the door, Ling Nu looked back and said to Lihe: "Childe stops, I'll go and report first." ”
Lihe stood outside the door and waited, and after a while, Lingnu came out, followed by a man who was about the same age as Lihe.
"Childe, unfortunately, the head of my family has something to go out," Ling Nu replied, and said with a slight smile: "But you are lucky, my young master is just here." ”
"A gardener, you are also worthy of being called 'Childe'?" The man behind Ling Nu, with arrogance in his tone, glanced at Lihe and said to Ling Nu.
"Then, don't bother," he thanked and made a speech, his original intention was to see Tu Yu, Tu Yu since he went to the chaos crevice, suffered the unbearable suffering he had suffered, then disappeared, from this first hearing of his news, and heard that he was going to Tu Li, to talk about the feelings of the woman, so he was happy to come to visit in person. Now that he is not here, he is too lazy to say more than half a word to the 'nobleman' in front of him.
The man behind Ling Nu turned around and left, and directly hung his teasing words in the air, completely ignoring him, the future head of the family, and came to another momentum for a while, and drank Lihe and said: "You, stop!" ”
"What?" Lihe turned around and asked the man who was flying and domineering. The tone is neither humble nor arrogant.
"I haven't asked you anything yet?" The man said: "My father is not here, and he told me the same, this family business, sooner or later, I will be in charge." ”
"I'm just a florist who sends flowers," Lihe smiled privately, and said sarcastically: "A branch of flowers and trees can't involve Your Excellency, and you can't do anything about a family business." "The implication, the unspoken voice: why bother, in front of a stranger, to show off his possessions. Shallow!
As he spoke, he looked at the person in front of him, the ice blue silk robe, and the high-quality mutton fat and white jade pendant tied around his waist, and thought to himself: This satin silk should have cost a lot of hard work of the silkworm woman.
It's just that this all-over temperament, how can it be so familiar?
"Where are you from?" The man asked unceremoniously: "It is the rule of my Mofu to move the wattle in March, my father has never bought less than 100 branches of tulip flowers from the outside, you take such a flower, and say that your father taught you to send it, but who is fooling you?" ”
"This, it's me, misunderstood." Lihe smiled awkwardly, and now in his heart, he was not even sure if the head of the family here was the Tu Tu he was looking for. Anyway, he was concerned about Zhixi, and as soon as he heard about Tu Xi Sinu, he rushed to send her, probably, he was flustered, and from the beginning, he misunderstood everything. With such an upright and strict character, he couldn't believe that he would raise such an uneducated son in the world.
At this time, the tuds in his hands, because they had not been moistened by water dew for a long time, and now they had been exposed to the sun for a long time, and the leaves and stems began to sobble and shrivele, showing a state of decline.
The man, 'whoosh', unceremoniously snatched the broken flowers and branches from Lihe's hand, and the branches and leaves, unable to withstand his drag, fluttered and fluttered, and fell to the ground.
"It's... This... This... What a broken thing," the man saw this posture, glanced at his mouth and complained: "I can't help it!" ”
It is this familiar action, a familiar sentence, that makes Li and wake up like a dream, and reminds me of when Zhao Mengmo (the word Ruyi) was in the master's burrow, and Zhao Mengmo 'banged' and beat the master's desk with wood nails, and beat it to pieces, at that time, Zhao Mengmo said, almost exactly the same words, the same tone, the same expression.
"Oh, it turned out to be you," the corners of his mouth turned into a smile, and the vulgar person in front of him, vulgar, arrogant, uneducated, man, he forgave all at that moment.
When he meets his old acquaintance in a foreign country, who cares about him in this situation and this scene, and how many layers of shortcomings there are?
"You know me?" The man, feeling, inexplicably, still feeling good about himself, arrogant and arrogant, said.
"What's your name?" Liyu continued to smile and asked him.
The man was very inexplicable by his concern for him, and was very inexplicable by his incomprehensible words and contradictions, so he muttered in his heart: "What a freak, just now, as if he knew me, and turned around and asked me what my name was." ”
"My name is also known by a junior like you?" The man didn't sign up for his surname, but he didn't get a good face from this compliment, and he felt bored, so he was ready to give an eviction order: "This broken flower, just leave the right to stay, where are you from, go back to where to cool down." ”
"Is this, Broken Flower?" Lihe was very distressed, picked up the fallen leaves and flowers from the ground, put them in the palm of his hand, and planned to take the remaining bald branches from the man's hand, but the man, the more rare he looked, the more he refused to let go, and he clenched it tightly.
"Since your father taught you to send it," the man was angry: "I just threw it away, stepped on it, and you have no reason to take it back." ”
This is a problem that he occupies but does not cherish, and it seems that he treated Jing Nu (the word Zhixi) back then. Seeing that the bone mistake came to rob, he had to take two steps in an inch, but in fact, he didn't know how to appreciate her goodness at all. Now the same is true for this emaciated tud.
"When will you be able to fix this stinky problem?" left, but began to admonish him in the tone of a friend. He didn't know Lihe, but Lihe recognized him: "If you don't know how to cherish it, don't take it." This tone is very down-to-earth, and it means to be close to the man.
"Who has it? This is mine. The man became more and more willful: "Although the thinness is a little thinner, and it is so weak that it is ugly, it is not enough to be a hedge, and it is planted alone in an idle house, so that those mothers-in-law and maids can be watered more, and maybe they can still survive." ”
Now I heard that he was going to plant this branch alone in idleness, and teach those subordinates to take care of it, but in my heart, it was much better than embellishing it among the flowers and willows and green, as a hedge, so flashy and ostentatious, so the corners of his mouth were raised, and he smiled: "That's good." I look at you, plant her alone, and I'll go. ”
"What kind of broken branches, worthy of this young master's dirty hands?" The man originally thought that this was the most inferior disposition, and he would not be able to follow it, and then he would be able to see him laugh, but he was partial, not only was he not angry, but he was full of approval, and he had to watch him with his own eyes, and he went to live in idleness and planted it, so he didn't fight in one place, but played the young master's temper, and went up to the ground with the thorn branch that he was not rare: "Living in that kind of place, this young master has never stepped into it, and he has not lowered his status." ”
