Chapter 52: Afternoon

The flood of memories poured out in an instant and could not be stopped, although Xiao Zheng looked at the outside world with his eyes, but his thoughts had returned to twenty years ago, that is, in the year when he was seriously injured and framed by his senior brother, Xiao Zheng's best friend, he thought that he could make friends, Du Yuexian's brother Du Guangyao, but in that era when he was attacked by the enemy, he deeply abandoned him, and quietly chose to be indifferent on the side.

Originally, he could come forward to defend him, at least, he knew the secret recipe developed by Xiao Zheng, but he didn't, not only did he not come out to correct Zhong Shiwei, but he also went to congratulate Linglong Pavilion when it opened!

Xiao Zheng still can't forget his feelings back then, it was a heart-wrenching pain, it was a cold that pierced into the bone marrow, and it was a wound that could not be healed in this life!

Many years later, when Xiao Zheng quietly opened the floodgates of memory again alone to recall the past, he knew that he was unladylike when he met people, because he was too unsightly, and because he was too gullible to others!

The south wind had already brought the water, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing, Xiao Zheng slowly opened his eyes, and the tea had already glowed a faint blue-green.

"Dad, it's all incompetent, and it's still necessary for Dad to worry about such a thing." Nanfeng stood aside with self-reproach, Xiao Zheng looked at him, Nanfeng had a lot of shadows of him back then, high-spirited, young and old, but at the same time, he trusted others too much! This kid is still honest and loyal in the end. Du Yuexian seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but if it weren't for her and her brother's scheming, how could she abandon Lan Hongda back then and marry Ran Linzong in the rich armor capital? This is not simply a problem that Du Yuexian can explain by being young and beautiful.

"My father has long said that this is in the capital, and the wind and grass may cause the earth to shake. How can you still believe you when you are called a father like a rival in love? You don't have to blame yourself, you shouldn't have interfered in this matter, you just need to do a good job of the dart game, and I will naturally tell you when I need you. By the way, in a few days, you may need to go to the border field. Xiao Zheng groaned.

"Going to the field? Could it be that something is going on over there? Nanfeng asked.

"If everything is foreseen, it will be too late! Okay, you go get busy, I'm going to take a break! With that, Xiao Zheng closed his eyes again, and Nanfeng glanced at the untouched tea and only retreated.

On the same day, Du Yuexian's face was red and swollen when she returned to Ran's Mansion, and everyone saw that this incomprehensible Mrs. Ran's Mansion obviously had cried, but no one in the whole mansion dared to ask why, even Xiao Cui beside Du Yuexian didn't dare to say a word.

To be honest, no one in the Ran Mansion has seen Du Yuexian cry for a long time, and he cried so much! Even some of the subordinates who have only recently entered the mansion have no idea that this lady can cry!

For a while, everyone was cautious, lest one accidentally annoy the lady, and it is estimated that she has no ability to make her cry again, but the possibility of being beaten is extremely great.

Just after noon, it should be the cleanest time in the whole house, because this time is the time for the old man, wife, young master, and young lady to rest, and the people can also have a free breath and prepare for a busy afternoon.

But today's Du Yuexian didn't rest, she was half lying on the bed, and her face still had a sad expression. On a small table next to the bed, there was Chinese food that Xiao Cui didn't know had been heated several times, but Du Yuexian still didn't move!

Xiao Cui waited on the side in fear, although the words of persuasion had been said many times, but Du Yuexian always replied silently, Xiao Cui had served Du Yuexian for so many years, and it was rare for her to look like this.

"Madam, if you don't have an appetite and don't like to eat these, I'll ask the kitchen to make you some lighter, okay?" Xiao Cui stood beside the bed and said resignedly, Du Yuexian was still staring blankly at the place where she didn't know what it was.

"If you really don't want to eat, then take a break and recuperate. It's so hot, you go out early in the morning, and you're tired for so many hours......"

"Go and find me that girl Xiao Fengyao!" Du Yuexian spoke, this made Xiao Cui feel a shock, not because she said that Du Yuexian didn't react for so long, but at this time to call Xiao Fengyao! Xiao Cui was stunned for a moment, Du Yuexian glanced at it and said, "What?" Didn't you hear what I said? ”

"Yes, ma'am!" Xiao Cui went out nervously, after getting along for so many days, Xiao Cui is no longer as tense as when she first met Feng Yao, although she still doesn't like it, but she doesn't hate it in the past. Du Yuexian's temper is the most aware of her, at this time she wants to find Feng Yao, nine times out of ten she is more than lucky.

Passing through the corridor path of the Ran Mansion and bypassing the arches and round doors, the abandoned firewood house where Feng Yao was was already in front of him. Xiao Cui looked at this almost the most dilapidated place in the whole mansion, and had to admire Feng Yao from the bottom of her heart, such a place that was difficult for her at the beginning not only did not make it difficult for her, but she turned it into a treasure by her, and became a scene in the mansion. The courtyard is still dilapidated, but here a flower, that grass, and vines and plants everywhere decorate this firewood house like a garden, all kinds of windows are elegantly and orderly pasted on the bed, not only with her good lady to patronize here, even the master also quietly came to watch, although he didn't say a word, but according to Ding Quan, the lord's eyes flashed with appreciation at that time!

Xiaocui couldn't help sighing, this country girl is really tenacious!

The door of the firewood room was open, and a low humming sound could be faintly heard inside, Xiao Cui smiled disdainfully, "It's embarrassing to sing so badly!" ”

"I don't sing to you if I sing badly, if you don't like it, you can't come!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Cui's muttering actually made Feng Yao inside listen to it, and she immediately replied.

"Your ears are really smart, huh?" Xiao Cui stepped in in surprise, Feng Yao was lying on the bed with Erlang's legs half-crossed, and the shoes he called didn't even take off!

"What's the matter with me?" Feng Yao glanced at it and continued to shake Erlang's legs that were raised high.

"I'm here to congratulate you!" Xiao Cui smiled evilly, Feng Yao looked at it, and sighed in his heart, I really don't know how the master and servant are going to play tricks on her.

"So I'm going to be unlucky again?" Feng Yao staggered to her feet, her legs drooping on the side of the bed, she stretched and straightened her loose hair.

"You're so smart."

"Thank you for the compliment. It's not that I'm smart, it's just that you're probably not good when you show up! According to folklore, you are the legendary broom star, the kind that whoever sees someone who is unlucky. A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Feng Yao's mouth and left.

"No, who did you say broom star did you? You don't want to live anymore, do you? Xiao Cui followed behind and was furious.

"Whoever follows me is the broom star!" Feng Yao swaggered.

"Who rarely follows you? I go my own way! Feed! You go slowly, you don't even ask me what the matter is, where are you going, what are you doing so fast? Cui trotted up.

"You won't have something to do with me, and Miss won't send you to call me if you have something, it's your wife. Besides, don't you tell me, I'm going to be unlucky, I have to hurry, don't be late, there won't be this shop in this village anymore! Feng Yao turned around suddenly, and Xiao Cui almost hit her.

"You're such a nuisance!" Cui took two steps back.

"It's good to know I hate it." Feng Yao didn't care at all, turned his body and continued to move forward.

"Don't blame me for not telling you, Madame is in a very bad mood today." Xiao Cui said.

"Thanks, she's not in a good mood. At least you won't be in a good mood when you see me. Feng Yao didn't care, Xiao Cui looked at the back that was unusually bright at all times, and felt a little envious in her heart, when did she live as freely as she did?

The doors and windows of Du Yuexian's bedroom were closed, the courtyard was silent, and the two people who were watering the flowers couldn't help but stick out their tongues when they saw Feng Yao coming in, and Feng Yao grimaced at them and walked up the steps with a smile.

"Madame, are you looking for me?" Feng Yao stood outside the door and said inside.

"Come in." Inside, Du Yuexian's voice was still low, Feng Yao took a breath and lifted the door curtain, and immediately a sultry wave swept in.

Feng Yao walked in, and sweat immediately broke out on her forehead, which had nothing to do with any emotion, it was completely caused by the stuffiness.

"Ma'am." Feng Yao stood by the bed, Du Yuexian was still the same as when he went out, his face was still bright red spots, and unlike before, his eyes had also turned red. Feng Yao faintly heard the rumors of his subordinates that today's lady was in a very bad mood, and now it seems that it is really not good to the extreme!

Du Yuexian sat up slightly straight, her eyes looked at Feng Yao carefully, this girl had a rural atmosphere around her, and she didn't have the temperament of a lady at all. Although her facial features are considered handsome, she must ignore the aura around her and peek carefully. Feng Yao's heart was a little hairy when Du Yuexian looked at her like this, and she unconsciously looked at herself, it was hot these days, and she didn't change her clothes much, compared with Mrs. Ran, who was responsible for her appearance, Feng Yao's image was simply unsightly.

"I'm sorry, madam, there are no pots or mallets or anything in the place where I live, and I can't wash the clothes I've worn for four or five days, and there may be some smell that Madame doesn't like. It's okay, I'll stay away so it might not smell so bad. Feng Yao raised his nose and sniffed it, although it was reasonable, but after all, it was still unreasonable in Du Yuexian.

"It seems that you are not used to living in the house?" Du Yuexian sighed, her eyes drooped, and she said in her heart, from the time she first saw Feng Yao, she was a little jealous of this girl in her heart, not entirely because she was Xiao Zheng's daughter, but as for why, Du Yuexian herself couldn't say.
