"Ahh Jin'er looked at him, his dark skin, the sun shining on it as if it were a brown brocade stained with golden powder, and like countless elves jumping on his cheeks. His eyes reflected the clear tender tea seedlings, and the picture was extraordinarily warm.

Ah Ji was speechless, always whispered "um" when he heard the call, and then quietly listened to what she was going to say, he was used to Jin'er's sudden soft call when he was working, and that soft call was like the tea leaves in the water floating in the palm of his hand along the gentleness of the water at this moment.

Can you imagine that regret? My aunt died, and my dad found out that she was her biological sister. On that day, I had no intention of calling my aunt at the lakeside, and it turned out that it was not a story without foreshadowing. If I don't go to the Bailing Temple on the Sun Moon Ridge and don't bring back the medicine hoe, wouldn't my father be so sad? ”

Ah Ji scooped up the washed tea leaves and put them on the sieve, and the drops of water beads were wet along the gaps, and the sleeves fell to his wrists, and he put his arms on again, "I don't think, if I really regret it, then I am sad." ”

"I asked my mother what my aunt looked like, and my mother told me to look up at the clouds, and my aunt was like the red clouds, very beautiful, but she couldn't touch them anymore. I think that a beautiful person like my aunt will turn into a cloud when she dies and hang in the white and boundless sky. ”

"Yes, that's what I thought too." Ah Yu nodded.

Jin'er smiled again and raised her face, "Are you happy for me?" I am the descendant of the Jiang family's swordsmen, no one thought of it, and the person who became a beard in the teahouse and arranged the story of the divine stone could not have imagined it. ”

"I am the child of a tea merchant, and in my spare time I drive the family's cattle and camels out to graze, so that they can have the strength to sell the tea leaves. I should envy you. ”

"Haha!" Jin'er burst out laughing.

Ah Ji got angry and threw the tea in her arms, and his words were not very angry, but he could still hear his unhappiness: "You also laugh at me, and I won't give you tea in the future." ”

"I'm not laughing at you, do you know that your cattle herding reminds me of a story?"

"What's the story?"

Jin'er said with a smile: "When I was six years old, I often made the mistake of making friends by my appearance, and I didn't like to be friends with ugly and dirty friends, thinking that they would rob me of the flowers in my hand and my sugar cakes to eat. Later, do you know whose story my dad taught me? ”

"Who?"

"I'm not afraid, you don't know. My father and I, before the founding emperor of the dynasty became emperor, our family was poorer than us, we were children of peasant families, we followed the cow's butt when we herded cattle, we reached out to beg for food when we were beggars, and when we were monks, we had to look at people's faces, and we didn't have money to go to school, and we didn't even know a big character. As you can imagine, such an embarrassing person is not worthy of the dragon chair at all. But he's just so powerful, and it's a bad attitude to be arrogant. ”

Jin'er spoke, smiling as if her father was the emperor.

Ah Ji is not as carefree as her, thinking of one thing, unhappy, "Now Jinling is not an imperial city, the foot of the son has been replaced by Beiping, so my father has always wanted to go there, the people are richer, and the value of tea will naturally rise quickly." ”

Jin'er's mouth was round, "It's not an imperial businessman, follow the emperor Lao'er." My family's business is not as good as yours, and my father doesn't see his son go to Beiping. ”

"Just now you are showing off that you are the descendant of the Jiang family's swordsman, my father must not be compared with your father, he is a thin lover who abandoned his wife, why do you think he wants Erniang, but her mother's family is an old friend of a royal family, otherwise he would not hook up."

With his nine-year-old age, he really shouldn't use the word "hook up", and Jin'er feels that Ah Ji doesn't like his father very much.

"Ah, I think you will definitely do something good in the future, just like your name. Every Rao name is meaningful. Just like my name, my father and mother first met because of the hibiscus hair, so they named me 'Hibiscus', so you, you will be like the fierce man in the ancient book, that is a very powerful animal. ”

Everyone has great ambitions and ideals in the face of adversity. Jin'er's words are like a soldering iron in Ah Ji's heart, burning through the scars, if you can't do something in the future, I'm really sorry for this name, and I can't stand Jin'er's words.

Jin'er is very smart, and she can always read a wide range of thoughts in Ah Ji's mind, and only through those sparkling eyes and dark skin that can glow, they are like conversations. At this time, Jin'er seemed to hear his unspoken affirmation.

Ah Ji has always been like this, and he doesn't speak his heart easily.

"Are you really going to Beiping? What day do you go? Jin'er asked in disbelief, holding a wooden stick in her hand, and drawing sand paintings on the ground, but it was half a mess, and she didn't know what she was drawing.

Ah Ji knew that she had always been so bored.

"I didn't determine a good day, Erniang had to calculate a good day and an auspicious day, and my father would leave after selling the tea in his hand, one of them was the same, and I wasn't sure yet."

Jin'er thought to herself, if she lost a partner, then Ah Ji also lost a partner.

Between neighbors, childhood sweethearts, that's how they scattered. Follow one of the parents.

Actually, if Ah Ji doesn't leave, Jin'er still wants to invite him to Ningjiazhuang to learn a sword or something, at least, his second mother will not dare to bully him.

Ah Ji only knew that Jin'er wanted to go to Ningjiazhuang and become a big hero like the Sun and Moon Heroes in the future.

Later one morning, the warmth of the sunlight shining into the window lattice carried a hint of noise, and the fine dust beating in the light fell in the bright eyes, clearly separated from the blue and white clouds, and separated from the noise.

Jin'er knew that the noise was because the house was moving next door. The sound of the Ni family's second mother pointing fingers was as noisy as the emperor moving.

"Ah ......" Jin'er ran to the next door to see, and the cages inside were all in order.

The second mother of the Ni family saw Jin'er, her fingers dyed with impatiens juice pinched the fan to fan the cool, and her tone was always foxy, "Yo, Jin'er, are you coming to see you off?" ”

Jin'er glanced at the second mother of the Ni family, and she didn't know why, her stomach was still flat, no different from when she entered the Ni family before. However, Jin'er is not interested in pursuing it.

Since the title of "Erniu" came out, the Ni family's Erniang has also stopped a little bit about Aji's name.

"Ni Erniang, when are you leaving?"

"I set off at the right time, what I want, but I have to hurry up, and in the future, the children will play for another two years, and no one will remember whom." She then leaned on the rocker and went elsewhere to urge the matter.

This was the last time Ah Ji and Jin'er talked in Jinling, but it was not the last time in his life.

It's just that they don't know it at this time.

Ah Ji took out the last box of tea cakes from his arms, "This is my imitation of the aristocratic dragon group Shengxue tea, once soaked in boiling water, the stretched tea leaves will be like the shape of hibiscus flowers, soaked in the bottom of the cup, the color is like silver white, like a white hibiscus blooming in blue water." He scratched his head, embarrassed, "It's just not quite like it, I really can't make that blush in the stamen." ”

Jin'er took the tea box, and when she opened it, there were five tea cakes inside, and there seemed to be a hibiscus hidden in the core of the cake, which was very rare, because there was no white hibiscus pattern tea on the market.

"Well, I'll take it, and I've got a gift for you." When she ran back, she didn't know what to take out, so she stood up and watched her run in and out.

She had an extra pot of seedlings in her hand, a seven-inch seedling growing in the fertile soil on the porcelain pot of blue and blue flowers, and a few green leaves with early morning dew on them.

"The hibiscus seedlings I planted with my own hands, you can bring them back, it is a gift from you to me for tea cakes."

Ah Ji took it, the porcelain basin looked a little heavier, and the smile on his face became stronger.

"Ah, let's go." His father led a camel out to call, and Erniang led two strong horses to Ah Ji.

The carriage was piled with household belongings and camels, so the two drivers came to bear the load. Ah Ji placed the flower seedlings, sat in the driver's seat, and shouted "drive" at the same time with one rein in one hand.

In the end, only the snoring of the distance remained.

They were like big birds that briefly skimmed through the air.

Ah Ji left, and the house next door soon had a new neighbor, but it wasn't as interesting as before, because the new neighbor didn't have a child of the same age

Jin'er felt even more bored. There was no one to accompany her to wait for the Sun and Moon Heroes, although she never waited.

The sun and moon heroes in the city are becoming more and more famous, and if the emperor is in Jinling, it is estimated that they will be appointed as an official.

Jin'er is always like her father.

The father saw through everything and explained with a smile: "If they care about official positions, how can they not show their true faces?" ”

Yes, Jin'er suddenly realized that her father's words were Zheng

"Daddy, I want to go to Sun Moon Villa." At some point, Jin'er began to have this idea.

Her father seemed to be unexpected, and his hand in repairing the flower branch was suddenly a little unnatural, and the pruning knife was about to hang down into the dirt.

Jin'er looked at her father strangely, not knowing why he was stunned.

"You're not fit to go there." Daddy reacted and began to put his energy back into pruning the branches, and his hands became stronger.

Jin'er didn't believe this kind of thing!

"However, Ningjia Villa is a good place to learn martial arts and skills, you still go there every year to send white hibiscus flowers, why don't you allow me to enter the village."

"I've been, even if you go to be a flower slave and a maid for a big family, it's not suitable to go anywhere." Although his words did not resist too harshly, his firm words could not even knock the iron tree.

"Jin'er, don't make your father angry."

Jin'er turned her head and saw her mother coming over with a sneer, her arms holding the dried clothes.

"He's obviously not angry, but he just talks loudly." Jin'er always makes sense.

"Go ahead and finish your homework for the day."

"Oh." Jin'er was urged to go back to the study, but the heart did not return to the study.

Instead, they drifted to the distant Ningjia Villa.

Jin'er wanted to go to Ningjia Villa, but was rejected by her father more than once.

In my father's heart, Ningjia Villa was a secret. That secret is like the silkworm chrysalis wrapped in filaments by the spring silkworm.

I don't know when the butterflies hidden inside will fly out.

Anyway, Jin'er really wanted to find out about the butterfly. It's boring to live without a playmate.

However, when she discovers the truth, the silkworm chrysalis may not be hiding a butterfly, but a "sword".

Jin'er secretly ran to the window eaves of her parents' room and squatted in the corner of the wall to listen to their true law to Ningjia Villa.

"If Jin'er really wants to go to Ningjiazhuang, why should we be trapped in it. You know, Ningjiazhuang is not a bad cage. ”

Hearing her mother's words, Jin'er was a little happier in her heart, it turned out that her mother was still towards herself.

Jin Er'er pricked up her ears again to listen to her father's true opinion.

"Would you like to? You don't say it, but I know you care. Father's words spit out a long sigh of helplessness like spitting smoke.

Jin'er couldn't understand it inexplicably.

His mother replied to him, "I don't care, I really let go." ”

……

At this time, Jin'er felt that what separated her parents from her parents was not a wall or a window, but a world. In the world, children really shouldn't be involved.

Second, Jin'er only left a letter and went to Ningjia Villa.

No one opened the door in the villa, she climbed over the wall and entered. casually found a good wall to climb in, anyway, she knew the "white hibiscus fairy" in the village.

Well, "Hibiscus Flower Fairy". When she climbed the wall, she didn't know where to go, but she saw a large patch of hibiscus.

It is a good season for flowering, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the huge white flowers are pressed one by one, and the core of the flower seems to contain a red bead, and the ground is discolored, illuminating the deep courtyard inside the fence wall.

Jin'er is like a wooden chicken, staying on the wall. It was the most flourishing patch of hibiscus she had ever seen.

There are thousands of hibiscus colors in the world, and the clusters are like the corners of the courtyard at home, and there is only one piece of white hibiscus.

The flower fairy who came belated in the white hibiscus appeared in her eyes, and for some reason, Jin'er seemed to see what she would look like when she grew up.

Perhaps, the hibiscus sent by my father over the years has grown in this field, and the flower fairy is the chrysalis hidden with silk in my father's heart.

Ning Chuxun accidentally raised his eyes and saw Jin'er on the wall, she forgot about it, and Chuxun also forgot to call her down.

The two secretly knew each other's identities, but they just smiled indifferently and were speechless.

That time, Jin'er went to Ningjia Villa and didn't go in. After getting off the wall, I went home.

Her father has not yet read the letter she left in her own handwriting. The candle was lit, and the faint light and shadow became brilliant in the burning of the letterhead.

The thought of going to Ningjia Villa was burned to ashes in the candlelight.

Jin'er didn't want to set off a huge wave between her parents, even if there was a small wave between them.

Her father is good, even if she gives a flower slave to a big family, she can't go to Ningjia Villa.

When she arrived at Hua Nu, Jin'er suddenly remembered the white hibiscus given to Ah Ji, and she didn't know if he had planted cherry blossoms alive

Ah Ji is a careful person, and Jin'er doesn't worry too much.

Jin'er was thinking when she was bored, maybe Ah Ji thought: I don't know if Jin'er went to Ningjia Villa or not
