Surrounded by green trees, the small courtyard is quiet.

There are birds chirping not far away, and there is a spring water tinkling a little farther away.

Beauty!

It's beautiful!

It couldn't be more beautiful to get such a good treatment in a fight with someone else!

At this time, Dongfang Yan's little head was still grinding his fists, and he was considering whether it was possible to improve his welfare by fighting again.

She sat on tiptoe in the courtyard enjoying the afternoon sun, the fine snowflakes under her feet glittering in the sunlight, and a purple sand teapot on the small stove in front of her was emitting green smoke. Everything is so quiet and beautiful, and the Oriental geese, who have always liked quietness, are in a good mood in this quiet environment!

"A small feast! Do you want to play chess? I haven't seen you for a few days, why don't you come down to play? None of you are talking to anyone who is not talking to me. ”

Generally, at such a quiet moment, there is always a person who is not idle to come to disturb, shouting loudly, and suddenly the birds and beasts scattered, and there was really only the sound of boiling water in the purple sand teapot.

……

She sighed silently, slowly picking up the boot that was crooked to the side and putting it on.

"Qingsong, why don't you just come to me to play chess? The sun is shining brightly, so why bother staying in that noisy compound? ”

Since that night, Fu Qingsong seems to feel guilty, and his attitude towards her has become more and more intimate, even with a little imperceptible flattery, I don't know if it is considered atonement? Because you can't save yourself when you die? The title of her has also changed from Brother Yan to Xiao Yan in a blink of an eye, and she is not recognized at all, so she calls her by her name......

Dongfang Yan just got up.

The voice was still ringing in the distance a moment ago, but someone approached as soon as he got around.

Someone chuckled and walked leisurely and slowly with an elegant demeanor, "Just wait for Xiaoyan to say this, everyone says that you are recuperating from your injuries, how dare we come to disturb without permission?" ”

The person who came was He Jia, who was always calm, but in fact, after getting along for a long time, I knew that this guy was a joke! Ahem, low-key. And with that came Xuanyuan Qin...... The two of them were holding a chessboard and two jars of chess pieces, smiling so much that they couldn't see their teeth, obviously coming prepared.

She smiled helplessly and shouted inside: "Li'er, there is a guest, serve tea!" ”

Li'er's delicate voice sounded in the distance, "Come on, right away." ”

The tail note is raised, and the good mood is indescribable.

The chessboard has already been set up to play, and it's really not polite.

Fu Qingsong didn't know where to propose a small bench to sit aside, watching the two play with relish.

It has been more than half a year since the last incident, and at this time, there is still some unmelted spring snow on the high mountains in early spring and April, which seems to be the tail feathers that linger in winter, not cold, but cool.

Since the last incident, Dongfang Yan has almost been too lazy to go out except for class, and 'reducing her sense of presence and not causing trouble' has become the criterion of her student career in Ninghua Academy. However, since moving to this small residence on the shore of Xichun Lake, the already not harmonious relationship with her classmates seems to have become more delicate, and she doesn't care about it, letting this dispensable relationship drift away.

Only Meng Xuan came here every day, and in the winter, he sent some stems and leaves of medicinal herbs to Li'er to cook and improve his food. Now that spring is approaching, more fresh petals are being delivered.

At this moment, he entered the door with a basket of tender and delicate peach blossom petals, and he could smell it from a distance. It seems to be a newly bloomed evening peach by the lake, which is blown to the front by the spring breeze with fragrance at this moment, and the coolness of spring snow in the air, a refreshing smell enters the tip of the nose, full of spring breath.

She smiled naturally when she saw Meng Xuan: "Xuan, are you hinting that I am fat?" Peach blossom weight loss, you won't know it. ”

Meng Xuan didn't care about her banter, and only said gently: "Peach blossoms invigorate blood and pleasing skin, dispel blood stasis and relieve pain, have many effects, and smell fragrant when brewed in tea." After a pause, he looked at her and smiled, "Look at this early spring, I'll pick some fresh ones for you to taste." ”

It happened that Li'er walked up to Meng Xuan with a tea tray, "Then I'll give a few flowers to these masters by the way." ”

The tea tray is put down, the pink petals enter the water, the color is lightened by three points, but it leads to a full floral fragrance, and the tea fragrance is really a pleasure.

Meng Xuan personally picked up the honey on the tea tray and added it cup by cup, paused in front of Dongfang Yan's teacup, and put an extra spoonful.

Dongfang Yan saw this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his eyes seemed to be happy, and his complicated expression continued until Meng Xuan walked close with the teacup.

She frowned, "I can do without honey." ”

Meng Xuan replied with a smile: "It's my own opinion, I want you to taste more sweetness." ”

In her early years, she knew that she was sweet but had been suppressing it and tried not to eat it, if he gave it, she would barely frown and eat a few bites, but when she ate, her expression was happy, like a cat that was satisfied, the unexpected contrast, full of fun.

I feel a little bitter in my heart, why don't I know the reason? After all, it was because of him.

Li'er was busy for a long time, and brought out a plate of peach blossom cake from the small kitchen in the back, with pink and crystal cubes. Li'er pursed her lips slightly, "If the oil is not enough, it can only be made into cakes, and obviously the prince prefers to eat peach blossom cakes." ”

She didn't care, picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, and said vaguely: "If you don't like it, you have to eat it every day, and you can eat it once in a while. ”

Someone seemed to chuckle and walk slowly down the path, and a clear tone sounded: "Sometimes a thing represents a memory, and it is a memory rather than a food." Am I right? ”

There was a moment of silence in the courtyard, and Sima Xuan's temperament and Qinghua style slowly stepped into the courtyard. There seemed to be a 'jingle bell' somewhere, and there was no sound in the blink of an eye.

Although the students of Ninghua Academy studied art with the princes of various countries, they explicitly demanded that there should be no special treatment. In addition to the establishment of a separate residence, a series of cumbersome rituals such as kneeling and bowing should be comprehensive.

His personality has changed too much compared to his childhood, he has become simple, he has become deep, straightforward and introverted, and what has not changed is his grace and handsome appearance, but in addition to this face, Dongfang Yan almost couldn't recognize that the person in front of him was the innocent and lively second prince of Yanyuan five years ago.

It's different...... She sighed lightly, since the first time she saw her after five years.

At this moment, he saw the oriole who was slightly disguised by Dongfang Yan again, and now it was more scrutiny. In the past six months, I have often used the name of visits to explore the truth and reality, but I have still found nothing for half a year.

Is it not enough understanding, or is she disguised too cleverly? Even if his appearance and temperament are different, how can anyone give him the feeling of being so similar to her? How could it be...... So like ......

Dongfang Yan's old habit is to change the habit of changing one place and another, if it is coupled with a slight appearance, it is almost guaranteed that it is the same person, she is more often like a changeable play, and in a blink of an eye, she changed her makeup and changed the role, and then she can't find the previous trace...... It seems to disappear out of thin air, and suddenly it is replaced by another person, freely changing without pause.

As soon as Sima Xuan spoke, the brief silence suddenly stopped. In a blink of an eye, Fu Qingsong and a few people pulled him to taste tea and play chess, and they talked happily like friends for many years.

Fu Qingsong is enthusiastic about everyone, but He Jia and he are attracted to each other's personalities and temperaments, but they get along unexpectedly.

Far away on the shore of the Spring Lake, there seems to be a mountain breeze carrying a wisp of string sound, fluttering and flying.

Turn again, and the autumn leaves are golden.

The withered leaves tell the prosperity of the past, and the lush trees that originally surrounded the yard have also shaken off the green, leaving a place of withered glory.

There were only a few reluctant dead leaves and a faint glittering copper bell on the half-bald tree, and the old inhabitant of the old place, Uncle Squirrel, seemed to have found enough fruits for the winter, and moved between the half-bald branches, chubby and round, but he looked lazy.

In the past, the copper bell was all ringing, only when the living people provoked the treetop squirrels to scurry and hit the copper bell would ring the crisp sound of the bell, Meng Xuan and others had come several times, and the squirrel Xu was also familiar with it. Every time they come, what should they do, comb their hair, gnaw on the fruit, and look like they don't care about you.

Today, however, it is rare to hear the clanging of bells, and they are more and more impatient. The uncles changed their timidity and dodged in a hurry among the trees.

Li'er thought it was coming back, wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen, but her expression was a little strange, and she couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.

In the name of recuperating from his injuries, Situ Crazy specially asked Ninghua Courtyard to ask for this vacant idle courtyard to give Dongfang Yan a beautiful name called 'recuperation', but the insider knew that it was just for the nameless Gu poison in Dongfang Yan's body, like an outbreak at any time*, and he needed to be on guard at all times.

On weekdays, except for Fu Qingsong and a group of people, few people came, but today at this hour, it is rare to see anyone come back.

Today...... I always feel weird everywhere, what's going on?

The oriole muttered to the door of the courtyard, heard the crunch of dead leaves outside the door, and was about to speak—but instantly felt wrong!

The copper bell in front of the door is a simple maze made by Dongfang Yan, and it was difficult for anyone to find it in the past - on weekdays, the banquet party is slow, Meng Xuan is slow, and Fu Qingsong is brisk, but she seems to have never heard such a rapid and heavy footstep, it seems that ...... Someone stumbled in?

She reacted subconsciously, went back to her room and threw the little fox who was sleeping peacefully on the bed into the baggage, leaving a small opening, enough to ventilate and not let it get out, which was hidden in the past when visitors used to come.

Before she could leave the hospital again, the door opened with a 'clang', and a few strangers came in. Her eyes flashed with doubt, and she took half a step back alertly, and only asked softly: "This is the place where the banquet boy is recuperating from his injuries, but how many of you have gone to the wrong residence?" ”

The courtyard is a withered glory, only the oriole stands in it like a delicate flower in the autumn scene of the sunset, even if it is easy to hide, it can't hide the beautiful body and smart eyes.

Several people looked at each other imperceptibly, revealing a hint of lewdness, and then straightened their faces and said in a deep voice: "Your son-in-law has something to invite, let my brothers come over first." Can the girl set up a chair first so that I can rest first? ”

When Li'er heard this, her eyes flashed, Dongfang Yan usually acts introverted and low-key, except for Fu Qingsong and a few people who hardly communicate with outsiders, how can they have something to invite? Pure.

She weighed her own weight, and she didn't have to think about it until she was definitely not as good as a few martial arts students with heavy muscles in front of her, and she couldn't be hard at the moment but could only outwit her, although she didn't know what the purpose of the person was, she could only stabilize it first.

smiled at the moment: "My son-in-law obviously said that he made an appointment with a few people to gather in the courtyard of Ninghua Pavilion, but how many of them heard the wrong place?" Don't miss it. ”

The faces of several people flashed, and today's banquet party did respond to the invitation of Fu Qingsong and a few people to gather at the mountainside dormitory, so they took the opportunity to come.

There is no other reason -

Jin Mengyun's knife class during the day allowed the banquet party to take the limelight, but he was chopped off by the banquet party with the back of the knife. The kid only said that it wasn't on purpose, that his hand was slipping.

But he was scolded by Master Jin, and he couldn't fight back.

The righteous indignation in my heart was unsettled, and I drank wine outside with my brothers for a while, and I was very dissatisfied with the banquet party in my heart, thinking of the banquet party, I thought of the graceful and delicate figure on that night a year ago, and I couldn't help but think - I wanted to suppress and suppress his pretty maid, and see if he was still so arrogant?

In fact, he didn't want to come to Fang Ze with the banquet, but he wanted to give him a good look at the brothers for a high-sounding reason, so as not to be arrogant. In fact, who doesn't know what dirty thoughts are in their hearts? It's just tacit.

In fact, Yan Fang really didn't mean it, but he didn't expect that the knife really knocked down the other party's knife. She originally wanted to throw a knife and admit defeat, but she has always paid attention to everything. The night of the previous year was already out of the limelight, and it could only be made up for by the obscurity behind, so as not to shoot the first bird of fame.

And where is she really to blame for this?

The strong man was restless, he was already depressed and had nowhere to vent his nameless fire, and when he saw the banquet party during the competition, he couldn't help but recall his pretty girl. I thought of the groups of noble children and maids in Su Ri who looked at the red eyes, in fact, who didn't know where the real maids were? It's just a gimmick for pleasure, but you only dare to look at it, where do you dare to really get started?

But when I saw that the banquet was the son of a down-and-out aristocratic family, and the weak appearance was accompanied by a maid, why wasn't it fat in the eyes of a hungry wolf?

After waiting for a year, the college test a year ago required at least one subject to pass before he could go down the mountain to play for a while, and he was full of anticipation, but he couldn't win the knife class in a few moves, and he could only spend his days in the academy.

I can't help but think that there are so many wonderful places to go down the mountain, and how long has it been since I stayed overnight in that gentle country, tasting the fragrant spirits and the beauty of the beauty?

In this autumn vacation test, I had no choice but to bump into the master, failed repeatedly, and passed by the opportunity to go down the mountain. However, there are still very few people left in the academy now, and even if there are really assessments, there are still people who sneak down the mountain, and he has not been without such thoughts.

Amethyst Peak Mountain is a wide mountain, even if the mentors have the intention to stop it, how can they really stop it? During last year's spring break, a group of people either thought the college was working hard or thought they had achieved something in their studies and would not come back, and the college did not care.

Apprenticeship, if you don't want to, you can't tie it up. However, it is still necessary to have enough face, for example, if the teachers know that you are going to run and are indifferent, it is absolutely impossible to break the rules.

Helplessly, when he sneaked down the mountain, he didn't know where the tutors got the news, and he was caught on the periphery of the academy, and when he came back, he was inevitably scolded again, which made him even more depressed.

After thinking about it so much, holding it back for so long, and accumulating anger for so long, I remembered that there was a delicate maid in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel angry, and moved my steps slightly.

Where the copper bell is still tinking, there is a person half-hidden behind the bushes by the path, as if there is a gaze watching the courtyard.
