The old head of the house sat on the edge of the bed, his face was gloomy, and he opened his mouth angrily to his son: "You are twenty years old, and you can't do it well to find a girl, what use do you want?" Why do I have to step down and let you be in charge? Is your dad really old and can't do it? Something that doesn't fight! ”

Wu Mingzhe smirked at Xin'er all day, and he worked hard at the same time, and he was already a lot of grievances, his father was still in such a situation for him, where could he still stand it? He sat up straight, stared wide-eyed, and replied to his father for the first time: "If you want to do it, you can go and talk." I've been an indisputable person since I was a child, so why bother me to do this? ”

When the old house heard the hut say this, he rewarded his son with a big slap: "Dad's hard work has been ruined by you!" You haven't married a wife yet, you look good, it's not easy to please a young girl? The worst thing is that after the two of you get acquainted with each other, I can still propose marriage and let you marry a Tujia girl. Are you still worried about not getting the book "Pastoral Garden"? You let me be a half-bad old man to please her, what are your intentions? ”

Wu Mingzhe covered his reddened left cheek, and he didn't dare to stiffen it, so he had to soften his tone: "Dad, my son doesn't know how to please the girl, please make it clear to my father." ”

The old house stood up, snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves, gritted his teeth and threw out a sentence: "Read the Book of Songs, think about Guan Ju, and find a way!" With that, the old house turned around and went out of the door.

Wu Mingzhe stayed in the house, didn't eat dinner, and flipped through the "Book of Songs" for half a night, but he didn't get the essentials.

In the early morning of the second day, Wu Mingzhe barely woke up, his mind was still a dream of a female spirit bewitching a man, he had a headache for a while, hastily had breakfast, and went to the imperial garden.

When Wu Mingzhe entered the Imperial Garden, Hong Xin'er and Mu Hanqing were already busy with the craftsmen. Xin'er's eyes were sharp, and when she lowered her head to dig up the soil, she saw that Mu Hanqing seemed to have a book hidden in the sleeve of her court, so she wanted to find out. So she deliberately followed behind Mu Hanqing, wanting to see the handwriting on the book cover.

Wu Mingzhe watched from afar, Xin'er followed closely behind Mu Hanqing, and she didn't want to leave at all, isn't this what his father said, after pleasing the girl successfully, the girl can't get rid of it? Unexpectedly, Mu Hanqing ignored the Tujia girl, but he was a master who could please her. Mr. Teaching said that there must be my teacher in the threesome. Wu Mingzhe secretly made up his mind that he would discuss with Mu Hanqing how to please the Tujia girl.

Xin'er followed Mu Hanqing for a cup of tea, but she didn't find a chance to see it clearly, but when Mu Hanqing turned around, she saw that Xin'er was so close to him, and hurriedly retreated three points, and Sven arched her hand: "Please respect yourself, don't surround me, and go get busy." ”

Fortunately, the craftsmen are digging soil from a distance, otherwise if others hear this, Xin'er will really have no face. At this time, she was so angry and anxious that her face was red, so she had to endure her anger, run away quickly, and go to work with the craftsmen.

After lunch, Lord Wei sent an inner supervisor to deliver the message. Lord Wei had another business trip this afternoon, and he had already left the palace, he was worried that the three principals were still young, and he was afraid that he would not know how to plan in advance, so he gave him a list of the most urgent things at the moment, which was to count the plants and trees that needed to be replanted.

Hong Xin'er and Wu Mingzhe are not clear about this matter, and the matter of Qingji ramming earth has not yet been completed, and the physics of replanting should be postponed. The so-called first set the general trend of the landscape, and then plant trees and flowers, those who have learned the skills of gardening understand this rough truth. Besides, it is not yet full of spring, and the reckoning is clear, and it is not good to plant flowers and trees immediately, and it is necessary to wait for some time to plant in order to survive.

Hong Xin'er and Wu Mingzhe didn't know why Lord Wei arranged it like this, and it was not easy to stand in place. Only Mu Hanqing was not in a hurry, took the pen and paper from the internal supervisor, and after thanking him, he had to count.

Hong Xin'er wanted to ask what was going on, but she had a misunderstanding with Mu Hanqing in the morning, and she was afraid that she would be abrupt when she spoke too much, so she endured it, and also took the pen and paper and followed Mu Hanqing and began to count.

However, Wu Mingzhe was an eye-opener, and asked vigorously: "Brother Mu, it is not appropriate to plant plants and trees at this time, what is the reason for Lord Wei's arrangement?" ”

Mu Hanqing heard that Ye Mingzhe asked so loudly, and hurriedly made a silent gesture, and waved his hand to signal that Wu Mingzhe and Hong Xin'er followed him.

After Mu Hanqing took the two of them to the stone platform far away from the craftsmen, he whispered the reason: "Lord Wei asked me to count and replant plants quickly, which is very thoughtful. At the end of winter and the beginning of spring, it is the time when the local supply is over, and it is the time when the treasury is at its fullest. Even if we can't plant plants at this time, we can make a list of replanting, calculate the required fee, and send it to the household department to go through the process of asking for money. If you wait for the time when you can plant, then list the silver, select the flowers and trees, and go down the procedure, you will inevitably miss the best time for planting. The owner of the house, the owner of the land, the two of you know that you can take care of it, don't say more. ”

When the two of them heard this, they thought so, so they divided their positions and counted the plants and trees in the garden.

After four or five days of calm, the garden was almost cleaned. Wu Mingzhe, who was planning to ask for advice to please the Famen, finally found an opportunity to complain to Mu Hanqing about his boredom. Taking advantage of the afternoon break, Wu Mingzhe offered to take Mu Hanqing to tea, and pulled Mu Hanqing to the back hall of the small kitchen.

After the two sat down, Mu Hanqing asked, "The owner of the house is in a hurry to call me for tea, so there must be something to ask me, just say it." ”

Wu Mingzhe poured tea for Mu Hanqing, rubbed his hands and said what he thought in his heart: "Brother Mu, you are so straightforward, I will say it." How did you use to curry favor with the landlord? ”

Mu Hanqing was confused by his endless words, and hurriedly took a sip of tea: "I'm not close to the landlord, how can I please me?" ”

Wu Mingzhe lowered his head and rubbed his hands again: "Brother Mu doesn't have to be humble, I clearly saw the soil master revolving around you that day, can you teach me your ability to please the girl?" ”

Mu Hanqing thought for a moment, and then realized that Wu Mingzhe had a little misunderstanding between him and the Tujia girl. But I can't explain this matter to Ya Mingzhe in detail. Wu Mingzhe wants to know how to please the girl, and he is also very interested in the landlord on weekdays, isn't it interesting to the landlord?

Before Mu Hanqing took office, his father told him not to get too close to the Tujia family, so as not to get into trouble, but the head of the Tu always revolved around him with nothing to do, so he was bored. If you can promote the good things of Wu Mingzhe and the Tujia girl, then you can avoid suspicion and become an adult, so why not? But for the sake of safety, Mu Hanqing still decided to test Xia Ya Mingzhe first, so as not to misunderstand.

After figuring it out, Mu Hanqing put down the teacup, deliberately approached the house Mingzhe, and lowered his voice: "Could it be that the house owner's matter is another interesting thing about the land owner?" ”

Wu Mingzhe didn't hear his voice, for fear that Mu Hanqing would misunderstand him, so he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "Brother Mu, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, it's just a little flattering." ”

When Mu Hanqing heard him say this, he was overjoyed: he had the intention of pleasing him, and he still insisted that he was not interesting to others? I don't know if this person is false or shy. Mu Hanqing decided not to poke the house Mingzhe, just push the boat with the water. He put his arm on the shoulders of the house Mingzhe and pressed again: "Girls like flowers, why don't you send some bright flowers to the owner of the house, okay?" ”

The starlight in Wu Mingzhe's eyes moved slightly, and he was about to nod, but he remembered that in this weather, except for the peach blossoms on the branches and the wild flowers on the ground, there was really nothing to do, so he lowered his head and sighed again: "It's not proper, the peony won't bloom until next month, and the lotus flower will have to wait until the summer, so where can I have it?" ”

Hearing his tone, Mu Hanqing snickered in his heart: He was still in a hurry. Let's help people to the end. After thinking about it, Mu Hanqing made another move: "Tomorrow I will go to the warm cellar to check the flowers and trees that need to be purchased, you can go with me, there must be something you like." ”

The craftsmen had already started work, and Xin'er saw that the two of them had not returned, so they hurried to find them. Wu Mingzhe had no choice but to nod to Mu Hanqing in agreement, and the two hurriedly went out with Xin'er.

The night was quiet and silent.

The next day, Wu Mingzhe went to the warm cellar with Mu Hanqing early in the morning.

There are all kinds of rare flowers and trees in the warm cellar all year round, and due to the special environment, the ground is connected to the hot springs, and some flowers and trees often open in advance. Mu Hanqing came this time to select some flowers and trees needed to restore the imperial garden. After he picks it, he has to align the number of plants with the team of the warm cellar, and then arrange the schedule of the silver and send it to the palace in batches.

Mu Hanqing had something to do, and he didn't have time to take care of Wu Mingzhe, so he let him walk around the warm cellar by himself and pick a few favorite flowers to take away. The head of the warm cellar team got the opportunity to tie up the two principals, where would he let it go? not only exempted Wu Mingzhe from buying flowers, but also assigned a small servant to Wu Mingzhe to follow.

Wu Mingzhe followed the little guy around and picked a fragrant and white gardenia, which is not easy to see at this time.

The little guy helped Ya Mingzhe cover the few gardenias in a cloth bag, and bumped all the way, and lost a few flowers. When he returned to the Imperial Garden, he opened the cloth bag and saw a few flowers, so he ran out of ideas. When he was at a loss, he called Mu Hanqing over, dragged him to a mound of dirt, and the two of them found two lake stones to sit down.

Hong Xin'er saw that the two of them had been mysteriously tight for many days, and her curiosity suddenly rose, so she arranged the next work of the craftsmen, and lied that she wanted to be complimentary, and quietly followed.

As soon as he sat down, Wu Mingzhe stretched his face and said: "Brother Mu, look at this flower, how many flowers have fallen, how do you send the soil master?" ”

Seeing him like this, Mu Hanqing had to comfort: "Don't worry, I see that my mother and sister have folded flowers and put them on their heads, not behind their ears." There are so many left, and these few are enough for the soil master to use for a while. ”

Wu Mingzhe was still a little worried, and muttered again: "I have never seen the soil master wear flowers, will this thing look good when it is placed behind the ear?" Can you give me a try? ”

Mu Hanqing was a little impatient by him, and he couldn't have a seizure, so he had to be patient, jokingly picked up a fallen gardenia, pinned it behind his ear for Wu Mingzhe, and said with a smile: "It's beautiful." ”

"You see, I can't see it." After Wu Mingzhe finished speaking, he also pinned a flower on Mu Hanqing's ear, and clapped his hands happily: "It's good-looking, Brother Mu is so good-looking." ”

The conversation between the two people in front of them, Xin'er who came later, didn't hear it, but the sentence "Brother Mu is so good-looking" and the scene where the two male protagonists pinned gardenias were seen by Xin'er.

Xin'er instantly remembered what Wang Mazi said about King Chen and his male pet, and the two of them also brought gardenias. Could it be that the two of them, Mingzhe and Mu Hanqing, are broken sleeves?

Thinking of this, Xin'er seemed to have discovered a shocking secret, she didn't dare to make a noise, so she had to retreat carefully step by step, but unfortunately she still kicked a small piece of lake rock.

Hearing the sound, Mu Hanqing's vigilance suddenly rose, and he shouted: "Who?" ”
