"......" Cen Yin froze again, his eyes were gloomy, and a voice in his heart said that he shouldn't have come.

He had told himself countless times that he shouldn't have come.

But he came anyway......

Duanmu Jun looked at him calmly, her black willow eyes were as clear as water, showing her mind in front of him without reservation.

Duanmufei looked at Cen Yin, then at Duanmuxuan, and raised his right hand very obediently, "Sister, I'll buy it!" ”

Without waiting for Duanmujun to agree, Duanmufei walked towards the stalls selling flowers with a small basket, and said to one of the stall owners: "Do you have peonies here?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The stall owner nodded again and again, "What color does the girl want?" Girl, look, my peonies here have a lot of colors! ”

"Red peony." Duanmu Fei said without thinking, smiling.

Since the day before yesterday, she wrapped Duanmu for two days before her sister chose a red peony.

The stall owner was a real person, so he directly moved a pot of red peonies out, "Girl, you can choose it yourself!" ”

Duanmufei not only picked red peonies for Duanmujun, but also picked peonies for himself and Mu Yan, and after paying the money, he came back briskly with a small basket.

"Sister, Master Cen, your red peony." Duanmufei handed one of the two red peonies to Duanmujun and the other to Cen Yin, and then she looked down at the two peony flowers left in the basket, and the corners of her lips were curved.

My sister is so good! Duanmu hooked her lips and smiled, naturally tiptoed, raised her hand and put the red peony in her hand behind Cen Yin's ear, and warned in passing: "Don't move." ”

As soon as the breeze in the suburbs blew, the layers of peony petals trembled slightly in the wind, gently caressing Cen Yin's cheeks as white as mutton fat and jade.

He was tall and straight, and his facial features were flawless, as beautiful as a painting.

Duanmu smiled with satisfaction.

Duanmu Fei covered his mouth and snickered on the side, and said in his heart: Hehe, in addition to her and Ah Yan, there is another person who is disciplined by her sister.

She looked at the excitement and said calmly: "Master Cen Gongzi, you can quickly put a hairpin on your sister." ”

Duanmu Jun looked at Cen Yin with a smile, pointed to his right sideburn, and motioned for him to put the hairpin in this position.

Cen Yin almost commanded a move, and stiffly put the red peony hairpin in his hand at the position of Duanmu's finger.

The bright red flowers set off Duanmu's skin as white as snow, and the graceful and luxurious peony flowers added three points of color to the girl's already bright face, which was so beautiful that it was eye-catching.

The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, this pair of people who seem to have descended from heaven and earth have attracted many people's amazing eyes at once.

The stall owner who sold flowers just now sensed that this was an opportunity, and immediately used it as a selling point to attract customers: "A few sons, and a few girls, the flowers I have here are the best!" You see, the peony flowers worn by the boy and the girl were bought by me! ”

"Look at it, it looks good in it! If a few girls wear it, it will definitely look like a fairy. ”

The stall owner pointed in the direction of Cen Yin and Duanmujun, and said that it was foaming at the mouth and falling from the sky.

A few young girls who came to see the flower subconsciously glanced in the direction pointed by the stall owner, originally they thought that the stall owner was exaggerating a little bit for business, who wanted to see this, several girls were stunned, and subconsciously looked at each other.

One of the round-faced girls in pink said loudly: "Isn't this the big girl Duanmu and the fourth girl?" ”

Another goose-egg-faced girl in blue nodded in response, and then her eyes fell on the beautiful young man in the royal blue brocade robe beside the sisters, and said curiously, "Could it be that this one is the regent?" ”

When she said the last three words, the girl in blue subconsciously lowered her tone.

"Definitely not." A boy in Tsing Yi slowly shook the folding fan in his hand, "That Mu Yan, I've seen it." ”

A few girls' families were somewhat disappointed, they were in the boudoir, and they had a rare opportunity to meet a foreign man, and they thought they were lucky enough to meet the recently famous regent, and they thought that they could boast with their sisters when they went back.

The pink-clothed girl's gaze swept back and forth between Cen Yin and Duanmujun, and said in a speculative tone: "I heard that the eldest girl of the Duanmu family has not yet decided to marry, could it be ......?"

Everyone glanced at each other, their eyes shining with a little interest.

For the scrutiny of the surrounding people, Duanmu Fei and the three of them didn't care, they were all used to seeing it for a long time.

Duanmu Fei was full of thoughts, and asked Duanmu Jun eagerly: "Sister, should we go to enjoy the flowers first, or swim in the lake?" ”

Today's itinerary is all arranged by Duanmujun, of course, everything is up to her.

"Let's swim in the lake!" Duanmu Jun waved his big arm and said, "I've rented a painting boat, just stop in front!" ”

The painting boat is parked on the lakeside more than ten zhang away, it is a two-story painting boat, exquisite lattice windows, carved railings and paintings, flying eaves and corners, because today is the flower festival, and it is also decorated with a lot of flowers, just like a flower boat.

Wisteria and pothos were already waiting at the painting boat, and when they saw the masters coming, they hurriedly welcomed them to the painting boat.

The boat pushed aside the clear surface of the lake and drove slowly forward.

The windows on both sides of the painting boat were open, and Duanmu Fei, Duanmu Jun and Cen Yin sat in the cabin, enjoying the scenery along the lake.

Under the golden sun, the clear turquoise water of the lake is sparkling, the green peaks are stacked in the distance, and the weeping willows on the shore near are swaying with the willow branches in the wind.

These willow branches have been tied with various colors of silk flowers by some passers-by, and they look at the past from the painting boat, as if the willow branches have bloomed, and everywhere they look, there is a sea of purple and red flowers.

Duanmu Fei enjoyed the scenery along the way with great interest.

Duanmujun told them about today's itinerary on the side: "We went around the lake, had lunch on the painting boat, and then directly parked the painting boat to the flower temple, worship the flower god, and visit the temple fair." ”

As they spoke, Wisteria brought them five or six plates of dim sum, golden cream pine rolls, red and white kidney bean rolls, red and sweet golden silk jujube paste cakes, golden walnut mille-feuille crisps, and white sugar steamed cheese......

A few snacks were steaming, and the tantalizing sweetness spread through the cabin with the heat.

Duanmu Fei greeted warmly: "Master Cen, eat while it's hot." ”

As she spoke, she had already picked up a piece of fragrant cream and put it in her mouth, and ate it deliciously, her eyebrows and eyes crooked.

Looking at Duanmu Fei's satisfied look, Cen Yin also moved his index finger a little, and also took a piece of cream pine roll cake and took a bite.

Duanmujun also pinched a piece of cream and rolled up the crisp and ate it.

While eating, she paid attention to Cen Yin's every move, watching him eat some of every snack, and her posture was always so elegant, with an unhurried leisure.

She noticed that the corners of his lips were slightly curled when he ate the cream pine roll cake, his eyebrows were slightly frowning when he ate the golden silk jujube cake, and his eyebrows were stretched when he drank Biluochun......

She silently remembered in her mind that it seemed that he did not like to eat anything too sweet.

The corners of Duanmujun's lips always had a light smile.

At this moment, her mind was peaceful, peaceful and content.

As she was, she was so happy to sit with him and with her sister like this, and live an ordinary life.

That's all life wants.

Even if there were no words, Duanmujun's joy naturally flowed from the corners of her lips and eyebrows.

It was a simple and straightforward pleasure.

Of course, Cen Yin also felt it, he didn't seem to be squinting, but in fact, the corner of his eye was also paying attention to Duanmujun.

Her eyes are bright and clear, her skin is fair and ruddy, and the corners of her lips are slightly upturned, just like the fragrance of peonies in May, blooming with gorgeous petals.

He loved to see her so happy, and he wanted her to be so carefree forever.

Duanmufei finished eating another piece of kidney bean roll, wiped his fingertips with a handkerchief, took two sips of hot tea to remove the aftertaste in his mouth, looked at Cen Yin with a smile and asked, "Master Cen, are these snacks delicious?" ”

Without waiting for Cen Yin to answer, she said again: "These snacks were made by my sister and I in the morning...... she said, she stuck out her tongue again, and she took the initiative to confess, "Okay, in fact, only one thing was made by me, and the others were made by my sister." ”

Cen Yin's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Duanmujun, his long and narrow black pupils were coated with a layer of brilliant bright colors in the sunlight at the moment, looking milder and softer than usual.

Even though he had never been in the kitchen himself, he knew that he had to make such a snack, and she got up when the rooster crowed, and was busy in the kitchen for a long time......

Duanmu pursed his lips and smiled, his expression gentle.

Duanmu Fei was even happier when he saw Cen Yin's surprised look, "Guess which one I did?" ”

Before she finished speaking, a familiar male voice answered: "I know!" I know! ”

Mu Yan, who was wearing a purple brocade robe, strode into the cabin, and the woven gold brocade robe on his body shone in the sun, as if bringing in the bright sunshine outside.

"Ah Yan!" Duanmu smiled even more happily, waved at Mu Yan, and beckoned him to sit down.

Mu Yan approached in three steps and two steps, and remembered to greet Cen Yin and Duanmujun: "Big brother, sister." ”

Duanmujun's face, which was still smiling, suddenly rose when he faced Mu Yan.

"......" Mu Yan looked at Duanmu Jun in confusion, confused. Where did he offend his sister?

Mu Yan looked at Duanmu Fei with inquiring eyes.

Of course, Duanmu Fei knew why, lowered his eyes and covered his mouth and snickered, not receiving Mu Yan's eyes.

"......" Mu Yan could only look at Cen Yin again.

Cen Yin put his right fist to his lips, his expression had returned to normal, he cleared his throat, and said casually: "Ah Yan, you are late, punish yourself for three cups!" ”

Clever as Mu Yan immediately understood, it turned out that he was late today and made his sister unhappy.

Worst! He's still on probation!

Mu Yan wanted to cry without tears, and hurriedly said: "I will punish myself with three cups!" I punished myself with three cups! ”

Duanmujun glanced at Mu Yan lightly, neither saying good nor bad.

At this time, the green pothos happened to bring tea to Mu Yan, and Mu Yan took the tea cup and said cheekily: "Then I will replace ...... with tea."

He originally said that he would punish himself with three cups of tea instead of wine, but halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that the tea was hot and was really not suitable for "self-punishment of three cups".

Duanmu Fei laughed out loud and laughed happily.

Facing Shang Mu Yan's pitiful eyes, she kindly decided to save him once, stood up and said, "Sister, I'll go to the temple fair with Ah Yan!" ”

Mu Yan's eyes were like lit lanterns, shining brightly, and he hurriedly echoed: "Sister, don't worry, I will take care of Zhen Zhen." ”

Duanmujun has always been responsive to his sister's requests, and he bowed his head and said: "Zhenzhen, the sun is a little fierce today, and it is estimated that it will be a little hot at noon, you should be careful to avoid the sun, don't get heat stroke." ”

Duanmu nodded obediently.

Mu Yan took advantage of Duanmujun's lack of attention, and winked his right eye meaningfully at Cen Yin.

Cen Yin, who was originally just a bystander, realized at this moment that if Duanmufei and Mu Yan left, then only him and Duanmujun would be left on the painting boat.

"......" He wasn't ready to be alone with Duanmujun.

Mu Yan seemed to see his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Big brother, then sister will trouble you to take care of it." ”

He blinked his right eye again, as if he was begging for a reward, big brother, you see, I am a good talker, and I can create opportunities for you to give you advice!

"......" The corners of Cen Yin's eyes twitched almost invisibly, and his ears suddenly remembered the words that Mu Yan said in his ears like a mosquito last time-

"Big brother, don't be embarrassed, if you want to please the girl's family, you have to be thick-skinned and sincere enough."

"I can give you advice!"

“……”

The corners of Cen Yin's eyes twitched again, feeling that he was too light last time just letting him roll! It should be beaten!

Mu Yan didn't care, and after saying goodbye to Duanmujun beautifully, he pulled Duanmufei out of the cabin.

The painting boat was stopping in the center of the lake at the moment, and Mu Yan took the lead in getting down from the painting boat to a tent, and then carefully supported Duanmu Fei's hand to help her onto the tent.

"Go to the temple fair."

Mu Yan commanded, and the secret guard wearing a hat and dressed as a boatman obediently rowed the boat, feeling that this secret guard was really not easy to do.

The small canopy can only seat five or six people at most, which is naturally not as stable as the painting boat, swaying slightly on the surface of the lake, the lake breeze is blowing, and the sun is shining.

The dark guard rowed at the bow of the boat, and Duanmu Fei and Mu Yan sat in the canopy, watching the painting boat behind them get farther and farther away from them......

Duanmu Fei waved goodbye to the painting boat, and then beckoned to Mu Yan, "Ah Yan." ”

Mu Yan thought she had something to say, so he bowed his head and leaned over to her.

Duanmu Fei took out a purple-red peony flower from the small basket he was carrying, put it behind his ear, and smiled with satisfaction.

Well. This flower goes well with his robe!

She hasn't made him a robe of this color yet, so next time...... Wait a minute!

Duanmu Fei pressed his divergent thoughts and said to himself, the peacock cloak hasn't been embroidered yet! Let's finish one piece and think about the next one. That's right, it's better to be a human being one step at a time.

Feng Yan reached out and took out another purple-red peony flower from Duanmufei's small basket, and carefully helped her put it on her sideburns, her phoenix eyes were as bright as stars in the sky, and she was complacent.

He saw that she had picked out a purple-red silk flower for him that day, and knew that Zhen Zhen was quite satisfied with this color, and immediately asked people to drive the robe for him according to the color of the silk flower.

Sure enough, he still knows Zhen Zhen's mind best!

Thinking about it, Mu Yan smiled even brighter, although he had already put on the peony flower for her, but his fingers were reluctant not to take it back, and his fingertips touched her delicate and delicate cheeks like petals, and there was a warm and soft touch under his fingers, full of vitality.

That's nice!

Mu Yan opened his lips slightly, and was about to say something, when the voice of the dark guard came from the stern: "Childe, it's docked." ”

Mu Yan's fingers stiffened, sighed in his heart, and changed his words: "Zhenzhen, let's go ashore." ”

The original charm of the canopy was swept away.

Mu Yan helped Duanmu Fei to the shore again, and didn't forget to glared fiercely at the dark guard who was pretending to be a boatman, and the dark guard looked inexplicable, and said in his heart: He didn't do anything!

Duanmu Fei didn't notice the turbulent dark tide between Mu Yan and the secret guard, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Flower Temple and said, "Ah Yan, let's go to the Flower Temple to pray for blessings first, and then visit the temple fair." ”

Mu Yan's soul was immediately hooked away, and he couldn't take care of the secret guard anymore, so he personally picked up her small basket full of silk flowers for Duanmu Fei, and said, "Let's go." ”

The two talked all the way, walked all the way, and after half a cup of tea, they arrived at the Flower Temple at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain.

The temple fair outside the Flower Temple was crowded with people, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, there were black pressed human heads.

The temple was also crowded with pilgrims, and the people waiting in line to enter the store to worship the flower god Niangniang were almost lined up from the main hall of the flower god temple to the main entrance of the flower temple.

The people in line are either young men and women, or young girls who hope to have a good relationship, ordinary people, family members of merchant squires, and children of official eunuchs.

"Ah Yan, let's go queue!" Duanmu Fei excitedly took one of Mu Yan's hands and walked three steps to the end of the long dragon.

She and Mu Yan are a delicate and a handsome, the two of them stand together, with a noble bearing, which inevitably attracts a lot of attention, from queuing up to them coming out of the Flower Temple, it is all like this, among which there are people who don't know each other, and there are also people who have had a few faces.

"Four girls of Duanmu!"

At this time, four or five well-dressed young girls happened to enter the Flower God Temple, facing Duanmu Fei and Mu Yan, and one of them, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in yellow, called out in surprise.

Several girls stepped forward quickly and saluted Duanmu Fei and Mu Yan. Today's everyone is traveling, and the rules and etiquette are naturally not too strict, and the girls are only slightly blessed.

Some of these girls knew Mu Yan, and some had participated in the birthday banquet of the princess of Xuanguo, with subtle expressions.

Duanmu Fei also recognized several of them, and smiled and bowed slightly: "Second Miss Liu, Fourth Miss Huang, Miss Feng Qi...... Are you new here? ”

The girl in yellow replied with a smile: "We just came, but I didn't expect there to be so many people here. So saying, they glanced at the long winding dragon, which had already turned a corner, and lengthened it three or four feet along the wall.

Duanmu Fei looked at the longer and longer dragon, and was glad that she and Mu Yan had come early.

When Duanmu Fei looked at these girls again, his eyes were dyed with a little sympathy, and he sighed: "I'm afraid there will be more people later." ”

The girl in yellow and the others originally intended to say a few words to Duanmu Fei, but when they saw Mu Yan suddenly move, they naturally picked up a willow leaf from Duanmu Fei's left shoulder.

Duanmu Fei raised his head and smiled at him, the pear vortex was shallow.

A tacit understanding that does not need words naturally permeates the two of them.

The girl in yellow was a clever one, glanced at the small basket with silk flowers in Mu Yan's hand, and said with interest: "Mu Gongzi, the fourth girl of Duanmu, the two of you still have to go to pray for blessings, we won't delay the two." ”

Several girls blessed the two of them again, then took their leave, and walked towards the tail end of the long dragon, and two of them couldn't help but look back in the direction of Duanmufei, with a hint of envy in their eyes.

A girl in pink muttered softly, "That's so good! ”

The girl in green clothes beside her could probably guess what she was thinking, and said in a low voice, "That's!" My mother said that she was ten ** is ......"

The girl in Cuiyi didn't say any further, but the girls who traveled with her knew her unfinished words, according to the current situation, Duanmu Scarlet Ten ** is the future queen.

The girls exchanged tacit understanding with each other, envious, embarrassed, and emotional.

When Duanmu Fei was given the son of the eldest princess of Anping to be married, most people sympathized with Duanmu Fei, the daughter of the Shoufu family, who had such a marriage, and if she didn't do it, it would cause trouble to the family, but who would have thought that in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Mu Yan would be the orphan of Emperor Chongming, and Duanmu Fei would have a phoenix life!

A girl in red couldn't help but look back in the direction of Duanmu Fei and Mu Yan, and saw that the two of them stopped in front of a hundred-year-old laurel tree seven or eight feet away.

This old laurel tree is very famous, known as the moon tree, legend has it that on the day of the flower festival, the silk flower is tied to the branch with a red rope, and then pray to the moon tree, you will get the blessing of the moon old.

It is natural for the little girl's family to believe this, but the dignified regent will actually accompany the four girls of Duanmu to toss these. The girl in red thought enviously in her heart, this Duanmu Fourth Girl is really a good fortune, with a good background, and Cen Yin's blue eyes, and such a good marriage......

In the next moment, the eyes of the girl in red widened, and she saw Mu Yan carrying the small basket, climbing up the old moon tree vigorously, pointing to one of the branches, and saying something.

Seeing that the girl in red suddenly stopped, several other girls also stopped, and they also looked back again, and looked at the girl in red, also dumbfounded.

At this moment, Mu Yan, who was on the old moon tree, didn't pay attention to the others at all, and looked down at Duanmu Fei below, feeling that he was really the person who knew Zhen Zhen's mind best.

"Zhenzhen, is this a good location?"

"Hmm." Duanmu looked at him with a small face, smiled like a flower, and nodded.

Mu Yan got Duanmufei's affirmation, so he immediately started to tie up the silk flowers, one, two, three......

He moved like a monkey, hooking his legs on a branch, grabbing a branch in one hand and jumping to another branch in mid-air, and lazily tilting on a branch......

In less than half a cup of tea, he tied nine silk flowers, "nine" means long-lasting.

Mu Yan carried the empty basket and landed lightly beside Duanmu Fei, looking at her with an inviting smile, "Okay." ”

His phoenix eyes were shining, as if to say, am I very capable?

Duanmu pursed his lips and smiled even more happily, and he was in a very good mood.

She stood on tiptoe, raised her hand and rubbed it on top of his head, blurting out, "After two ...... A few days, you'll be rewarded! ”

She stubbornly changed "in two days" to "in a few days", and calculated in her heart, the peacock cloak should be embroidered in five or six days, right? I can't catch up in five or six days, so ten days and half a month should be about the same, right?

What is it? Mu Yan's phoenix eyes were brighter, his face lowered a little lower, and his eyes seemed to be urging coquettishly, so let's talk about it.

The corners of Mu Yan's eyes were slightly raised, his eyes were big and bright, his eyelashes were dense and curled, and his eyes seemed to be full of lakes and mountains.

Duanmu Fei was almost about to say something, but he still shut his mouth in time.

She was afraid that she would miss her mouth again, so she simply closed her eyes and put her palms together in prayer.

Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, smiled, closed his eyes, and clasped his palms at the old moon tree like Duanmu Fei, silently reciting his wish in his heart: Mutual affection, life and death.

Duanmu Fei beside him quietly opened one eye, and there was a smile in his black and white pupils, and the corners of his lips hooked, and the smile spread like ripples on the surface of the lake......

After the two of them prayed for blessings in the Yuelao Tree, they bought the most famous Twelve Flowers Divine Incense here in the temple, and left the Flower Temple, and Duanmufei's small basket was still in Mu Yan's hands.

The sun hung high in the blue sky, and it was almost time.

The two of them held hands and went to the temple fair behind the Flower Temple, shopping all the way, buying all the way, eating all kinds of dim sum all the way, even if Duanmu Fei only ate one bite of each dim sum, the rest went into Mu Yan's stomach, and she was still full.

After eating, Duanmu Fei became lazy, and pulled Mu Yan to drink tea in a tea stall in the temple fair.

By the time they came out of the temple fair, the sun had already set in the west, and the sky in the west had turned a golden red, and the temple fair was still bustling and lively.

Looking back at the lively temple fair, Duanmufei felt that the air outside seemed to be a lot fresher.

Duanmu raised his head and took a deep breath of the fresh air in the suburbs, with the scent of plants, flowers and lake water.

The cheerful chirping of birds came from the willow trees on the shore, and the slight rustle of the willow branches in the breeze made a slight rustling sound, which set off the freshness and tranquility of the lakeside in early summer.

"Ah Yan......" Duanmu Fei pointed in the direction of the lakeside, and wanted to propose that they take a walk along Cuiwei Lake, just in time to see two familiar figures on the lakeside seven or eight feet away in front of them.

"It's my sister and Mr. Cen."

Duanmufei's eyes were crooked, and there was a sly smile in his eyes.
