21. The arrival of Song Nan

Song Nan went through some twists and turns, and finally arrived at the place where Hua Nian'er lived, he got out of the carriage and walked to the West Garden with a dozen or so guards from Baifu.

As soon as they entered the side door, they were stopped by an old woman who looked extremely strict, and she received the token of Baifu to pass it on and came back, and they continued to walk inside......

The sound of gurgling water was near, and Song Nan thought that there should be a pond in this courtyard outside, Hua Nian'er was a woman, and she should like to raise koi fish or something......

But when he entered the garden, he was shocked by what he saw......

The vast lake surface is sparkling, the waterwheel in the distance rotates slowly, the water curtain condenses into colorful light, all kinds of fish flock together under the water stone corridor and walk freely, cross the rippling blue waves, see the grass Feifei opposite, the pavilions are hidden in the greenery, and there are a few brightly dressed women on the grass who are happily putting paper kites......

Crisp laughter, light floral fragrance, pleasant scenery, everything in front of you is like a fairyland!

Song Nan froze in place, and didn't move until the bamboo raft came.

"Hurry up, Miss is waiting for you to come over!" Mama Jiang is used to the clumsy reactions of people who come to Zhuyin for the first time, and she is a little impatient when she has more.

"Oh......" Song Nan came back to his senses, immediately responded, and got on the bamboo raft with the help of the guards around him, only then did he notice that the boat that Mama Jiang was sitting on looked unusual.

Like a boat is not a boat, a non-flower is just like a flower.

It should be said that it is a large round basin with a flat circle, which is placed smoothly on the surface of the lake like a plate, and a few deck chairs are fixed in the middle, except for those who rock the boat, one or two people can also sit, and the surrounding is an arc-shaped curved wood, painted with white-pink lacquer, which can not only protect the people in the heart of the boat from falling into the water, but also beautiful and generous, and the whole round boat looks like a blooming water lily......

Is this a ship? It's just beautiful!

Mama Jiang saw that he had to be supported up and down, and knew that this young man should not have good legs and feet, and wondered in her heart, it stands to reason that Lord Bai would not find such a person as a guard for Miss, is there anything special about him......

After swimming on the bamboo raft for a while, Song Nan saw that there was another such flower-shaped boat on the lake, one was the foggy pink that the grandmother was sitting on, and the other was parked by the pavilion in the middle of the lake, which was ice blue...... There is a bright red figure in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, which looks very eye-catching.

Somehow, Song Nan's heartbeat rate increased, and he knew that it was Hua Nian'er.

After only one day in prison, Bai Luohong transferred him out, and later he learned that this seemingly casual life-saving benefactor was actually from the Bai family.

Bai Yin, the head of the Bai family, is a word. Although Song Nan is an authentic Confucian student, he is also familiar with this name......

Bai Fengzhi used to be the most respected teacher of the first emperor, the powerful Taifu, and almost all the generals of the Manchu Dynasty came out of his army, or Sheng Jinghua's current stable prosperity was all fought by the Bai family's army!

To this day, his name can make the blood of those who march in the army boil, and they want to be regarded as gods......

Bai Yin is a very popular minister, but never greedy for power, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he knew that he was highly meritorious, so he automatically resigned, and when he was nearly forty years old, he was going to return to his hometown, the new emperor was crying, mixed with the arm of the Taifu to prevent him from leaving, he knew that this person who was respected as a teacher by his father wanted to pave the right path for himself at the moment, but for the young emperor, he needed a capable minister like Bai Yin!

However, Bai Yin was well aware of the unpredictable mind of the king, and would never be a powerful minister again.

In the end, Bai Yin became the secretary of Dali Temple today, the official residence of the four grades, the implementation of the king's law, and became the sharpest weapon to maintain the imperial power.

What's even more rare is that he has only one wife in his life, and the couple has a daughter and two sons......

The two sons also entered the temple, the eldest son Bai Yishu was the second rank of the young master of the dynasty, and was relied on by the Son of Heaven, and the second son Bai Luohong was the third rank of the prince and young master, teaching the ten-year-old prince martial arts riding and archery every day......

And the Bai Luohong he saw was the rumored second son of the Bai family, such a character...... It turned out to be Hua Nian'er's uncle!

Song Nan couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion when she learned about Hua Nian'er's background, it was clear that she had such a prominent identity, but she was wronged in Huafu......

Daji watched the bamboo raft keep approaching, still throwing a handful of fish food, until her hands were clean, she clapped her palms and stood up, smiling as they approached.

On the white jade pavilion in the center of the lake, there is a girl with green silk draped, the bright red cloak is very lined with her, the black silk is like ink, and the white fluff on the neckline is entangled, although she has not been dressed, her appearance is more and more exquisite, the beauty is lazy, but more calm......

"Miss, this is the guard from Baifu." Mama Jiang replied standing on the lotus boat.

Then a tall man on the bamboo raft walked out and hugged his fists, "Miss! Fifteen of us have come to report! ”

Daji was alone, leaning over the railing and looking down, "Since it's my person, I'll call Zhuwei in the future, Mama, put everyone in place." ”

Song Nan looked at her, knowing that the fifteen people she said naturally did not include herself.

Mama Jiang nodded, and suddenly remembered that there were sixteen people here, and she was about to ask out loud, when she heard Hua Nian'er ask with a smile, "Mr. Song, don't come to harm?" ”

Song Nan's face burned, whether he was in a cage or in the wilderness, this woman's eyes were the same as when she was in Huafu, she was still so straightforward.

"Miss Xie, everything is fine with Song." In the testimony signed by Huafu, all the plots and misdeeds were only committed by him, but he didn't expect to be imprisoned, and he still had the opportunity to tell the truth and write a true confession.

Daji's gaze fell on his lap, and he suddenly laughed, "Mr. Song, can you think of how to thank me?" ”

"Ah......" Song Nan's face suddenly burned through, he was at a loss, and he couldn't even figure out what Hua Nian'er meant, could she ......

"Can Mr. Song make a mask for me out of agarwood?" Daji asked, hooking the corners of her mouth.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ OK. The blood flowing rapidly throughout his body calmed down a little, and Song Nan was a little embarrassed, how unaware he was......

"It's a long way to go......," Daji nodded with satisfaction, "Mr. Song, let's go rest first, and I'll ask someone to send the pattern over later." ”

***

After everyone left, Tao Tao approached and said, "Miss, I don't think it's good for Mr. Song to live in the West Garden with us...... Spread the word and ...... your reputation"

"Taotao, I don't want to go back to Huafu again." Daji didn't turn around, but she interrupted her.

"Huh?" Tao Tao couldn't understand what she meant for a while, "Miss, you can stay in the bamboo for a while, but ......"

What does Miss mean? After all, the daughter's family is going to get married, so will it be difficult to go to her husband's house from here then?

"No, I mean......" Daji turned her head, the light in her peach blossom pupils, "Always be a free and easy woman, Hua Nian'er is no longer there...... And Huazhu, by my anger, by my joy. ”

"Miss......" Tao Tao looked at her blankly, a little excited and a little scared, "Aren't you going to get married?" Do you want to be alone for the rest of your life?! ”

"If I'm alone for the rest of my life, Tao Tao won't be with me?" Daji asked deliberately.

"No, it won't!" Tao Tao shouted, and her eyes were a little red, "Miss, you deserve a better person, it's really nothing to lose General Feng's marriage!" You don't have to ......."

"Peach ......," Daji sighed, she couldn't communicate with this little girl.

"Miss, Tao Tao knows that you are still sad, let's not talk about this......" The little girl immediately blocked her words, "This month is the Kaiyuan event, we live so close, it's a pity not to join in the fun, I can't come out in previous years, tomorrow Tao Tao will accompany you to go shopping, right?" ”

The young lady was so depressed that she had no interest in the future, and she had to think of a way to get her to dispatch ......

Daji can't cry or laugh, this little girl's ability to change the topic is not bad!

"Hmm." Daji nodded, she had already drawn a lot of patterns, and the few clothes made by Su Yu were enough to support the faΓ§ade, so it was time to go out and find an embroidery girl to make it in batches, maybe it could attract a lot of rich women......

Seeing her agree, Tao Tao was relieved, her young lady was so good, even if she was sad, she should still eat, play, and be obedient.

In the evening, Daji asked people to pick out a few pieces of wood to give to Song Nan, and Tao Tao still felt distressed, these pieces of agarwood added up to dozens of taels of silver, which was originally used to make spices for hoarfrost......

"Mr. Song, when will these be done?" Putting the agarwood and drawings on the table, Tao Tao deliberately embarrassed him.

"This ...... I wonder when Miss will want it? Song Nan has always felt that this girl doesn't like her very much, when she was in Huafu before, she looked at her eyes and was almost like eating people.

"I'm going to accompany Miss to Kaiyuan Temple early tomorrow morning, and I can always do one in one night, right?" Peach Peach Road.

Is this not to let him rest?

Song Nan was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it, she knew why she was annoyed with herself, so she responded.

Tao Tao wanted to quarrel with him, but she didn't expect this person to have such a soft temper, and she was full of anger and melted when she spewed out......

"It's done, tell Mama Jiang that is." After Tao Tao finished speaking, she strode away. Song Nan looked at her back and shook his head silently, it seemed that his life here would not be too easy.

Thinking about it, he stretched out his hand to unfold the drawing, which had a total of three patterns, happy and sad...... The fox?

The outlines are all made of a single stroke, except for the eyes and nose, which are slightly more detailed, and everything else is extremely freehand...... Song Nan was stunned, he had never seen such a mask.

The mask is half-faced, and it is not the kind of round mask that is common in the market, the eyebrows, eyes, forehead and even the tip of the nose are close to the shape of the real fox face, but it seems to be rubbed off from the human face, concave and convex, revealing elegance in the wild, unique and amazing.

He always likes to carve some gadgets in his spare time, but he has never made such a delicate thing, and he is not very interested, so he immediately touches the wooden block at hand and fiddles with it, imagining the curvature that the mask should have after fitting Hua Nian'er's face, thin and thick, and roughly set the size on the white paper, before starting to do it......
