The sleeve wrapped the small porcelain jar containing lotus seeds with a piece of cyan square silk, carried it with his hand, held a stack of scripture manuscripts, and thought of the autumn that had not been seen for many days, Yingxue and a few other girls, so he wrapped some of the fruit pastries on the table and brought them together, left a short note on the desk, and went out of the Guanyu Building to Songhe Zhai.

The hour is still early, and the corridors, the long pavilions, the willow embankments, and the corridors are all quiet, as if even the flowers, grasses, insects and fish have not woken up.

Huai sleeve likes such a quiet as if no one is there, and can return to the freedom of the soul, but the heart is worried about the hour of chanting in the early morning of Xiaozhuang, for fear of delay, although the heart is attached to the foreground, the foot does not dare to stay too much.

Walking to the Wentang Palace, Huai Sleeve remembered the small stone path with the February orchid in full bloom, and thought that he could take a shortcut from there, and first go to his courtyard to see those girls.

After the orchid bush in February, Huai Sleeve was shocked by the scene in front of him, remembering that when he first came here, it was still a sea of blue-purple flowers, and the psychedelic splendidness extended endlessly in all directions, only a few dozen days, and the branches of the trees almost covered the path of the night's stroll, and the shadow of the spring flowers had long been gone.

Huai Sleeve can't help but sigh in his heart, once the beautiful time is missed, it can only be traced back in memory, if you look back and start over, maybe only the sentimentality is inspiring.

Perhaps, some roads have been traveled, and there is no need to turn back, and the original road may not be as it is remembered......

There is no one here, the sleeve of the dantian luck at the feet, suddenly the body is as light as a swallow shuttled between the trees, and soon arrived at the back door of his courtyard, to the front of the door, adjust the peaceful atmosphere, the sleeve stepped forward and pushed the door a few times, bolted from the inside, glanced at the low wall next to the spring flower vines, the body went up, over the wall in.

Fuquan just woke up, still in a state of dazed wontons, Xiao Xie came to open the back corner door by the way, suddenly a shadow floated in front of him, Fuquan didn't see clearly, only felt that the shadow flew towards him, frightened to turn around and run, while running in the mouth also shouted: "Wow, whose Hai Dongqing, early in the morning will be released to walk the birds, help......"

Huai Sleeve was also startled by Fu Quan's sudden shouting, and the sleeves of his shoulder were not scratched on the spring flower vine, and Huai Sleeve was anxious Fu Quan shouted and disturbed others, and chased after him in a few steps, grabbing Fu Quan's braid.

Fuquan only felt a tingling pain in his scalp, and stopped and begged: "Oops, oops, my meat is not delicious, you let go of me, I'll find you beef jerky." ”

"You monkey cub has seen it, who is Hai Dongqing!" Huai Sleeve scolded with a smile.

Fuquan hurriedly looked back, his eyebrows and eyes immediately burst into laughter, and he knelt down and asked for peace: "Oh, it's the girl who is back, I was stunned for a moment just now, and I thought it was the emperor's Hai Dongqing flying again, oops, it scared me to death." ”

"'Again', could it be that you were pecked by Hai Dongqing?" He asked with a smile.

"No, girl, look here." As Fu Quan spoke, he lifted his wide sleeves to the upper part of his arm, revealing a scar the size of a child's palm.

Huai Sleeve looked frightened and asked, "Why did you bite such a big piece?" This Hai Dongqing is so good! ”

He didn't ask about it, and when he mentioned it, Fuquan suddenly looked aggrieved.

"It was many years ago, I was only a few years old at that time, not long after I entered the palace, the big eunuch next to the emperor is not the current Gonggong Li, but another father-in-law surnamed An, that Gonggong An is not as kind as the current Gonggong Li, he is responsible for taking care of Hai Dongqing for the emperor, and usually bullies us little eunuchs, as long as he sees anyone who is not pleasing to the eye, he will let Hai Dongqing come up and bite, I was bitten at that time."

Huai Sleeve couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard it, he knew that the little eunuchs in the palace were pitiful, and others treated them as inappropriate, but they didn't think that they would have to be bullied by beasts.

"Now that I'm over there, have I arranged a new errand for a few of you?" Wai Sleeve asked.

Fuquan nodded and said: "Aunt Su Ma has arranged it, I will help sprinkle and clean the courtyard, and a few of them will temporarily help in the tea room, Aunt Su Ma said that when the girl comes back, she also asked a few of us to follow the girl." ”

Huai Sleeve nodded, took out a handful of fruits and pastries from the cloth bag, stuffed them into Fu Quan's arms, and said, "These are for you to take and eat." ”

As he spoke, he handed the cloth bag to Fuquan and said, "This one will be brought over by Lianqiu and Yingxue, and it is time for the old ancestor to get up, so I will go to the front yard to take a look." ”

Fuquan held the fruit and pastry in his arms, looked at his sleeves and asked, "Girl, are you still coming back?" We heard that you were about to be named a princess by the emperor, I thought you wouldn't come back......" said and couldn't help but redden.

Huai Sleeve smiled and knocked on the door of Fu Quan's head: "Silly boy, don't listen to that, I'll be back." ”

Fuquan laughed when he heard this: "That's good, that's good, I don't want to follow anyone except the girl." ”

"Well, go get busy!" Huai Sleeve smiled and nodded, and went to the front yard.

Fu Quan looked at the figure that disappeared by the door with his sleeves stunned, snorted and muttered: "I know you must have heard me whisper to Yingxue about my brother's illness, and I was afraid that I would give it to me in person, so I didn't want to go, and I mentioned it later, so I secretly put fifty taels of silver next to my pillow." Just rush this, when the girl is alive, I will serve you for a lifetime, and when the girl returns to the west after a long life, I will become a turtle and give you a monument! ”

Huai sleeve turned the stone gate, saw that the front yard was still silent, and there was no Zhuqing and others, so he walked straight to the crane pond in front, turned the weeping flower gate, and saw a person standing on the edge of the corridor from a distance to feed the crane.

When he saw the man, he smiled and ran towards the man.

"Auntie." Before he got closer, Huai Sleeve couldn't help but scream.

Su Malagu was stretching out her arms to feed a few red-crowned cranes, and when she heard the voice, she saw that it was a sleeve, and greeted her with a smile.

"The crescent moon princess wrapped around you so tightly, why did you have to come back?" Su Malagu asked with a smile.

Huai Sleeve smiled: "I miss the ancestor and aunt, come back today while the morning is cool." ”

As he spoke, he handed the porcelain jar in his hand to Aunt Su Mala and said, "This is the lotus seed I picked a few days ago, and they are all picked when the sun has not yet risen, bringing tea and soup to the ancestors to relieve the heat." ”

Aunt Su Mala smiled and said, "The old ancestor really didn't hurt you in vain. ”

Huai Sleeve lowered his head and smiled, and then asked: "I came over there just now, why didn't I see anyone come out to serve, didn't the ancestor chant today?" ”

Su Malagu frowned when she heard this: "The old ancestor's leg disease has been committed again, and he always hurts until midnight every day, and he fell asleep when it was almost dawn, so he canceled the chanting of Chenshi. ”

Huai Sleeve nodded silently, and followed Su Malagu to sit down on the stone bench by the corridor.

"How can I look at these days, you seem to have lost a lot, are you not used to eating and living over there?" Aunt Su Mala asked as she looked at her increasingly pointed face.
