In the middle of summer in July, the scorching sun bakes the earth, and the monotonous chirping of cicadas is endless, making the sound of "know and know".

Duanmufei's head was groggy, suppressing the urge to yawn, but Mrs. Zhang's dull voice without ups and downs like chanting scriptures was really hypnotic.

Over the years, the emperor came to the palace to escape the summer, and generally did not return to Beijing until the weather turned cool in mid to late September.

Duanmufei, who lived in Qingliang Palace, inexplicably began to follow Han Xing to Xiaoran Hall to attend classes.

It's been a few days since she went to school, and she hasn't been so diligent in going to school at home!

Duanmu Fei suddenly became a little envious of Wuyang, since he left the palace and opened the mansion, he didn't have to go back to the study every day to attend classes.

At this time, Wuyang must be sleeping lazily in the dormitory!

That's great!

Well, I'm obviously here to escape the heat, not to go to class. Duanmufei once again began to think about moving out of Hanxing's Qingliang Hall as soon as possible.

Another wave of sleepiness came to her, Duanmu covered her small mouth, yawned sleepily, and missed her bed.

Han Xing sat on Duanmu Fei's right hand, and at a glance, she knew what she was thinking, and her thoughts began to drift away: this time, what method would she use to coax her cousin to stay.

However, in less than a stick of incense, Duanmu Fei had already yawned three times, and Mrs. Zhang on the podium actually knew the situation in the classroom at a glance, and naturally took it into his eyes.

In the past year, Duanmufei would occasionally follow Han Xing to the study to attend classes, and Mrs. Zhang was also a little familiar with her, knowing that she was just here to play, and took a completely laissez-faire attitude towards her.

Glancing at Duanmu Fei, who was obviously about to fall asleep, Mrs. Zhang looked away casually, just as if he didn't see anything, and continued to talk about his "Biography of Famous Ministers".

Mrs. Zhang's class, which was notoriously boring, the princesses and companions in the hall sat upright one by one, all in the spirit of twelve points, so as not to lose the honor in front of others.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps at the back of the hall, and one of the companions turned his head curiously to look behind him, and his eyes widened slightly.

I saw that on a certain seat in the last row, Mrs. Zhang, who was wearing a willow-colored dress, was sitting there elegantly, looking ahead with a smile on her lips, with a calm expression.

The companion hurriedly turned his head again, and quietly winked at the other companion beside him.

More and more girls began to quietly turn their heads and frequently look at Mrs. Zhang, and there was a rustling sound of sleeves rubbing in the hall.

Duanmu Fei, who was already so sleepy that his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, didn't notice that there was another person in Xiaoran Hall, nor did he notice that the other party was looking at him with interest.

This little girl is really interesting. Mrs. Zhang looked at Duanmu's sleepy little face and hooked her lips.

A cup of tea time passes quickly and slowly, and for some people, it is fleeting; For some, it's a long ordeal.

When Mrs. Zhang announced the end of a class after a cup of tea, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed, and the girls all had a little smile on their faces.

Han Xing smiled and proposed, "Sister Yunhua, Dangui, Cousin Scarlet, let's go play hide and seek together." ”

"Okay!" Dangui couldn't wait to stand up and answered.

During this time, the students who attended classes in Xiaoran Hall were not only those princesses and their companions, but also the daughters of some of the emperor's relatives who had received the emperor's permission to come to class together, so as not to miss their homework for two months in the summer.

Duanmu Fei was also in high spirits, and she was about to get up, when she heard a somewhat familiar female voice behind her: "Duanmu Fourth Girl." ”

Mrs. Zhang walked up to Duanmu Fei unhurriedly, with a smile on her warm face.

Duanmu Fei didn't know when Mrs. Zhang came, so she blinked a little unexpectedly, and then blessed the other party.

"Fourth girl Duanmu, dare to ask if you know astronomy?" Mrs. Zhang asked straight to the point.

"I know a little bit about it." Duanmu Fei modestly replied with four words, Han Xing couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and he was not in a hurry to play peek-a-boo, thinking that it was more fun to see Cousin Scarlet being too "modest" here.

Dangui and Yunhua were also related and hooked their lips.

The smile on the corner of Mrs. Zhang's mouth became even stronger, and she said, "Fourth girl Duanmu, my father also likes astronomical astronomy. Although I am not proficient, I have collected a lot of astronomical books, and one of my dowries is "Shi's Star Sutra". ”

Duanmu Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, like a milk cat that smelled fishy, and said in surprise: "Isn't the Shi's Star Sutra lost?" ”

"Shi's Star Classic" is hundreds of years ago by the famous Tianguan Shi Shen, its astronomical astronomy research, is not as good as today, in the "Historical Records of Tianguanshu", "Hanshu Astronomical Chronicles" and other historical books are quoted in the book of sporadic fragments, however, "Shi's Star Classic" and other books written by Shi Shen have been lost as early as the previous dynasty, she used to study astronomy and astrology, she tried to find this book, but she couldn't ask for it, I didn't expect that today this book actually came to the door by itself.

Duanmu Fei looked at Mrs. Zhang with an expectant expression, and smiled with crooked eyes, "Mrs. Zhang, I don't know if you can lend me this "Shi's Star Sutra" to see?" ”

This little girl is so cute! Mrs. Zhang seemed to be able to see a fluffy tail swaying happily behind her, and her mood was also infected by her, soft and sweet.

She doesn't have children, so how nice it would be to have such a cute, soft, and spoiled daughter!

Mrs. Zhang's heart moved, and the word "good" that was originally on her lips swallowed back, teased her, and said with a smile: "It's not a problem to borrow, but it's ......."

Mrs. Zhang paused deliberately, and Duanmu stared at her without blinking.

"Fourth girl Duanmu, do you know how to write plum blossom seals?" Mrs. Zhang's face smiled even deeper, and a streamer of light flashed quickly under her eyes, on the one hand, she wanted to tease Duanmufei, and on the other hand, she also wanted to test her level again.

Duanmu Fei nodded eagerly, and his eyes brightened.

In addition to Han Xing and Dangui, there were several other girls around who also heard the conversation between Duanmu Fei and Mrs. Zhang, and looked at each other with the same doubts written in their eyes. What is this plum blossom seal?!

"How about this," Mrs. Zhang's expression became more and more gentle, "Fourth Miss Duanmu, if you write me a plum blossom seal, I will lend you the copy of the Shi's Star Sutra." ”

"Good, good!" Duanmu Fei nodded again and again, and her tail wagged more happily, as long as she could borrow the "Shi's Star Sutra", let her write a plum blossom seal, even if she wrote ten!

Mrs. Zhang is really a good person!

Duanmu Fei's eyes were shining when he looked at Mrs. Zhang, and there was a touch of closeness in his eyes.

This is the classroom, and now there is a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Han Xing saw that there was a lively place to see, so he proposed with great interest: "Cousin Scarlet, this palace will polish ink for you." ”

The palace maid on the side didn't have time to make a move, so she saw that the fourth princess was like a little follower laying paper and grinding ink for the four girls of Duanmu, she silently looked away, and listened to Duanmu Fei's order: "This sister, take the trouble to bring me some cinnabar." ”

"Yes, Fourth Miss Duanmu." The maid of the palace hastened to receive her order as if she had been pardoned.

The palace maid hurried away and hurried back, and when she came back with cinnabar, Hanxing also polished the ink.

Duanmu Fei casually picked up two sheep's hair pens, one holding the left hand and the other holding the right hand, the former dipped in cinnabar, and the latter dipped in ink.

Seeing this, the other girls around became more and more curious about the so-called plum blossom seal.

Duanmu Fei did not hesitate to paint, his left hand skillfully painted the red plum blossoms with cinnabar, and his right hand waved out a section of strong branches, and a little red plum blossomed on the branches.

This plum is really well drawn. The girls looked at each other secretly, confused. Could it be that the so-called plum blossom seal character refers to drawing the plum picture first, and then writing the seal character?!

Mrs. Zhang was silent, watching Duanmu Fei's eyes become more and more focused.

Since ancient times, those who can write plum blossom seal characters with both hands are all talented and eight buckets. In her life, the first person she witnessed was her father, Duanmu Fei was the second, and she was only eleven years old.

If I told my father about it, I wouldn't believe it.

Duanmu quickly skillfully drew a plum, and then, less than three inches away from the first plum, she continued to draw the second plum......

By the time she got to the third plum, the girls already felt that something was not quite right.

The layout of this plum picture under Duanmu Fei's pen is also too strange, the three plum blossoms are drawn on the paper so evenly spaced, there is no weight, there is no layout at all, she is not painting patterns for clothes, porcelain or something, right?!

Mrs. Zhang watched almost without blinking, lest she miss every stroke of Duanmufei. Suddenly, she stared slightly, and noticed that Duanmu paused slightly when he put down his pen, and then deliberately added another stroke......

Sure enough, this little girl should be hiding clumsy.

But why?!

Is it because she is worried that "the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it", so she doesn't dare to act too high-profile?

In the middle of his thoughts, he saw that Duanmu had drawn the fourth plum blossom and accepted the pen with satisfaction.

Mrs. Zhang glanced at the four plums on the paper with a smile, and slowly read: "Dark fragrance and shadow." After a pause, she clapped her hands with satisfaction and praised, "Good words!" ”

Good word?! The other girls were dumbfounded, almost wondering if they had heard it wrong, and subconsciously looked at the four plum blossoms on the paper again, and looked at it again, and the painting in front of them did not change in the slightest.

A companion read the blessing to Mrs. Zhang, and couldn't help asking: "Mrs. Zhang, this painting is about Mei, where does the word come from?!" ”

Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing, and did not answer the question of the companion, but inexplicably chanted a poem: "I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain." ”

The girls looked at each other again, mostly in the clouds.

Han Xing glanced at the painting again, and silently recited the sentence "Only because I am in this mountain", and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and instructed the two palace maids on the side: "You hold up this painting and stand farther away." ”

The two palace maids immediately bent their knees to receive the order, and the two cooperated to pinch the two ends of the paper respectively, holding the painting high and constantly retreating at the signal of Han Xing, one step, two steps, three steps...... Ten steps!

"Ahh A girl in green clothes let out a low cry in surprise and said, "Dark, fragrant, sparse, shadow." ”

The other girls gradually saw the doorway, and several of them thoughtfully recited the words "dark fragrance and shadow".

Just now they looked at this calligraphy and painting closely, and felt that Duanmu Fei was painting plum, but it was not until they were far away at this moment that they realized that this was not only plum, but also seal.

The girls were stunned, and suddenly understood what the plum blossom seal was, and cleverly embedded the plum blossom in the word, so that the plum blossom and the word were integrated, which can be said to be ingenious.

Mrs. Zhang raised her eyes and looked at the plum blossom seal in front of her, and concluded with a smile: "The plum blossom seal is a word from afar, and a flower is seen from a distance, and a flower is hidden in the flower, and the two are integrated." ”

Mrs. Zhang's summary can be said to be just right, all the girls are thoughtful and slightly bowed, and then go to look at this plum blossom seal, also words and paintings, even more wonderful!

The girls gathered around, and they were all full of praise. Mrs. Zhang's eyes looked at Duanmu Fei again, and said happily: "Fourth girl Duanmu, I will ask people to go back to Beijing today to get the Shi's Star Sutra." ”

Mrs. Zhang is such a good person! Duanmu Fei's eyes widened in surprise, his eyes were as bright as cold stars, and he clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Zhang." Don't worry, I'll give it back to you as soon as possible. ”

Duanmu Fei was already a little impatient, well, after getting the "Shi's Star Sutra", she had to read it carefully first, and then she would copy it well.

"Don't worry, Fourth Duanmu girl, you take your time." Mrs. Zhang said meaningfully, and after instructing the maid to help her put away the calligraphy and painting, she left Xiaoran Hall.

Mrs. Zhang left, Mrs. Zhang came back again, and the girls didn't have time to hide and seek, so they all had to sit back, but Duanmu Fei, Hanxing, and Dangui, who were full of eyes and only wanted to play, were all distracted and their souls flew out of the sky in the next class.

How the last lesson passed, the four girls hardly have any impression.

As soon as class ended, they were like birds escaping from their cages, and they couldn't wait to leave Xiaoran Hall.

Bypassing a few temples, the four of them saw the Tianlai Lake appear more than 20 zhang away in front of them, and the golden sunlight sprinkled on the sparkling lake, as if countless gold had been sprinkled......

At the edge of the lake, weeping willows flutter in the wind, and willow branches gently pluck the surface of the lake.

Dangui looked around, trying to find a suitable spot for peek-a-boo, his eyes quickly swept around, and suddenly saw a familiar figure standing under a weeping willow by the lake.

It was a young girl dressed in an emerald riding uniform, with a slender figure, a beautiful face, and a horsewhip in her hand, exuding a heroic atmosphere.

The four of Duanmu Fei all knew the girl in cuiyi in front of them, Dangui frowned, and blurted out in a low voice: "Liu Yingshuang!" ”

Another warm wind blew, blowing away the sound of osmanthus, and also blowing the willow branches swaying again, and the surroundings seemed very quiet.

Immediately afterwards, a long figure in a blue brocade robe walked out from behind the willow tree beside Liu Yingshuang, and the young man's handsome side face was even more heroic and sassy under the touch of the sun, with sharp edges and corners, but it looked a little raw.

"Yingshuang, you believe me!" The blue-robed young man grabbed Liu Yingshuang's right hand, and it seemed that only Liu Yingshuang could be seen in his burning eyes, "I only have you in my heart......"

"I can make it clear to Miss Wei, I only met her two or three times when I was a child, and I don't even remember what she looked like!"

"I'm sure Miss Wei is the same!"

"Yingshuang, I will talk to Miss Wei, she will definitely agree to withdraw from the marriage."

The emotions of the blue-robed young man became more and more excited, his voice became louder and louder, and the high-pitched voice drifted into the ears of Duanmu Fei, Han Xing, Yunhua and Dangui with the wind, and the four of them looked at each other with stiff expressions.

They all guessed the identity of this blue-robed young man, and he must be the rumored Fifth Prince Pan.

The four shook their heads in disagreement.

Whether it's the Pan family or the Wei family, these two families have a bit of a problem with their brains, so it's better to stay away!

They simply continued along the lake until they reached a rockery, where Hanxing stopped and proposed, "Let's hide and hide here." You come to hide, this palace comes to you! ”

Duanmu Fei nodded frequently on the side, indicating that he had no objection.

Han Xing turned around and covered his eyes, "The palace counts to fifty, you quickly hide!" ”

"One, two, three......"

Behind him, there was the sound of Hanxing's regular counting, Duanmu Fei, Dangui, and Yunhua each picked a direction and scattered, and the three of them did not choose to hide in the rockery.

This rockery looks too big at first glance.

Duanmufei walked quickly through a verandah, his eyes fell on a few clumps of summer violets on the side of the verandah, and his eyes lit up. If she stepped over the railing of the verandah, hid behind the Xia Jin bushes, and then squatted down, Han Xing would definitely not find herself!

Duanmu smulet thought complacently, lifted her skirt, and carefully climbed to the railing, at this moment, a feminine voice suddenly came from behind and called out lightly: "Duanmu Fourth Girl? ”

There was obvious confusion in the familiar voice.

Duanmufei's body stiffened, however, at this moment, she was already sitting on the railing, and she was in an embarrassing situation.

She hesitated, but jumped back into the verandah, stroked her slightly messy dress, and casually looked at Cen Yin's narrow and charming eyes a few steps away.

"Lord Cen Governor." Duanmu Fei blessed Cen Yin, smiled very cutely, and wanted to act as if nothing had happened just now.

Cen Yin looked at her, the corners of her red mouth hooked, and she smiled slightly: "A few days ago, there was a torrential rain, and the railings in several places in the palace were loose, and the fourth girl of Duanmu was still careful." ”

"Thank you Lord Cen for the reminder." Duanmu smiled sweetly, well-behaved, obedient, innocent, and asked with a salivating face, "I wonder if Lord Cen will send someone back to the capital in the near future?" I want to bring something for my sister. The weather is getting hotter and hotter these days, and my sister is busy with a large family's chores in the capital, so I prepared some cool herbs to relieve the heat and made a sachet. ”

After a pause, she added flatteringly, "I also prepared a packet of herbs for Governor Cen to carry with him. ”

Duanmu blinked her big eyes, smiled brightly, and smiled brightly, as if the gloomy verandah had brightened up a lot with her smile.

Cen Yin looked at her, his eyes were soft, and his beautiful lips were shaped with a dizzying smile, "I'll go back to Beijing in a few days, and you can send someone to send me something to the Cloud Pavilion later." ”

"Thank you, Lord Cen." Duanmu Fei thanked Cen Yin again and again with joy, and walked back happily.

However, as soon as she stepped out of the verandah, she saw Hanxing walking towards her not far ahead, and the two cousins happened to be looking at each other.

Han Xing had a smug smile on his face, and that smile seemed to say, I found you!

Duanmufei's shoulders fell suddenly, and he felt that he was too unlucky today.

At this moment, Duanmufei's shoulder was suddenly slammed from behind.

Unsuspecting, she staggered a step, and her body was knocked out of balance instantly, and she fell diagonally in the direction of the lake......

The sparkling surface of the lake ripples in the breeze......

Duanmufei's eyes widened, and she looked at the lake not far away, and the next moment, she felt her right arm tighten, and a certain hand grabbed her right arm and pulled her.

Of course, Han Xing, who was not far away, also saw the scene just now, his pretty face was slightly pale, and he was taken aback.

"Scarlet cousin!"

Han Xing ran over quickly with her skirt, and it wasn't until she grabbed Duanmufei's other hand that she was relieved.

The person who grabbed Duanmu Fei's right arm hurriedly withdrew his hand and apologized in a snort: "Yes...... I'm sorry. Her dark apricot eyes were dyed with a faint layer of water between the words, pitiful.

Han Xing became angry when he looked at the other party's aggrieved face, and reprimanded coquettishly: "Wei Ruxian, how reckless are you walking!" ”

Wei Ruxian shrank in fright, and said intuitively, "I didn't mean to. ”

Wei Ruxian really didn't mean it.

Before a cup of tea, when she heard the maid say that Liu Yingshuang and the fifth son of the Pan family met here, she hurried to Tianlai Lake.

She didn't want to get out of the marriage, getting married was the only way for her to move out of the Wei family, and it was her ransom. She just waited for her filial piety to be completed, and then she could marry the Pan family, and then leave the desperate cage of the Wei family, escape from Liu Rong, and escape from her father...... She had to keep the marriage!

Half a cup of tea ago, Wei Ruxian hurried here, wanting to beg Liu Yingshuang not to snatch away this family business, between the two of them, Liu Yingshuang suddenly pushed her, she staggered back two steps, but she didn't want to bump into Duanmufei.

Fortunately, she grabbed Duanmu Fei in time!

Thinking about it, Wei Ruxian was still a little afraid in her heart, frowning and looking at Liu Yingshuang a few steps away, Liu Yingshuang was a little uncomfortable by her, and intuitively defended herself: "Is it because you yourself didn't stand firm, do you still want to push it on me?!" ”

Even Han Xing didn't know what was going on, but now he understands that it was Liu Yingshuang who pushed Wei Ruxian first, and Wei Ruxian accidentally bumped into Duanmufei.

Duanmu Fei was still standing in place stunned, as if he was deaf, and his eyes were slightly in a trance.

Chu Qingci drowned, even though more than two years have passed, she is still somewhat afraid of the water in her heart, and she almost fell into the water just now, which reminded her of the pain of drowning, the feeling of being poured by the lake, the sharp pain of her lungs being torn apart......

"Come on, throw these two people down on this seat!"

Cen Yin's feminine voice suddenly sounded, neither light nor heavy, but it was like a thunderstorm on the ground, and several people couldn't react.
