Because Yan Qingge and Shui Ying helped Shui Zhi, Shui Mu was grateful in his heart, and he had to answer Shui Ying's questions, and what he said in a day today was actually more than usual in a month combined.

Shuizhi's leg was checked by the old servant, and he was bruised a few times, but it was not in the way of other places.

The two sides exchanged itineraries with each other, and found that they were actually on the way.

Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao went to see Zhuangzi who welcomed the spring flowers, and Zhuangzi who was going to go to the hot spring with Shui Zhi, just next to each other.

Shui Zhi couldn't walk, the flesh on his legs shrank day by day, and the Shui family was very worried, and someone gave them a home remedy, that is, to ask him to go to the hot springs.

Since the two sides were on the way, they went together.

The horse that Shui Mu rode was brought back from the war in the north, and it was extra fat compared to ordinary horses, and its shoes were specially made, and it couldn't slip on the ice, so it could run fast.

Ling Xiao looked at the black horse enviously, his eyes wrapped around Shui Mu, and said, "Shui Shizi, can I ride your horse?" ”

Shui Mu was in a good mood today, and as soon as she said it, she agreed to give her a horse. But this horse is fierce, no one listens to him except his words, Shui Mu acts as a groom, let Ling Xiao ride on it, and he leads the horse in front.

Ling Xiao exclaimed and said happily: "Wow! I felt like I was getting taller on this horse. She asked Xiang Shui Mu happily: "Shui Shizi, what is the name of your horse?" My horse is red, and I call her Red Dates. The red dates are good, and I will bring her to you when I have a chance. ”

Shui Mu couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "My horse doesn't have a name. ”

He is six years older than Ling Xiao, and he will be twenty years old after the New Year, and Ling Xiao is a little hairy head in his eyes, similar to his sister Shui Ying.

"Then I'll give him a name. It's so black, just call it Black Bean. As she spoke, she leaned over and touched the horse's ears, and said happily to the black horse: "Black Bean, do you like the name?" ”

Yan Qingge sat in the carriage, listening to Ling Xiao offering treasures outside, pursing his lips and smiling secretly.

Everyone in the world says that good marriages are destined in previous lives, and today's meeting between Ling Xiao and Shui Mu really confirmed this.

Not long after, Yan Qingge and Ling Xiao arrived at the Zhuangzi where they were watching the spring flowers, and Shui Mu and Shui Zhi said goodbye to them and went to the nearby Zhuangzi with hot springs.

Before entering the door, Yan Qingge smelled the fragrance of flowers, and the fragrance of spring flowers was faint and floating, although the fragrance was strong, it was not pungent. As soon as he entered the door, Yan Qingge saw a tree with goose-yellow spring flower branches rushing to his face, which was beautiful.

This small Zhuangzi is actually the private property of a certain family in Beijing, and only people who know each other well receive it. Ling Xiao had made an appointment in advance, and the servants in the village had been waiting for them for a long time. The servant led the two to settle down, and came over to ask, "Do you want to eat now?" ”

It wasn't early, Yan Qingge nodded and said, "Let's set the meal." ”

The food in this place is very ordinary, but they are mainly here to watch the scenery, and after watching it for a day, Yan Qingge only feels that his whole body is full of the fragrance of spring flowers, and he is afraid that he will not be able to disperse it in a few days.

Before leaving, the two broke a lot of spring flower branches and prepared to take them back to arrange the vase and put them in the vase.

Because there is a hot spring nearby, the temperature is higher than that of the next place, and the spring flowers are blooming so vigorously, and the spring flowers next to it will bloom so well, and it will have to wait for the day.

Yan Qingge asked people to put flowers in vases everywhere in the house, and with these goose-yellow spring greetings, the interior instantly became much more festive.

There are still a lot of Spring Festival left, Yan Qingge asked people to send some to Yanwangfu and Zhongwangfu, and the scattered flowers that were accidentally touched by her were picked up by her and made into a small sachet.

It snowed lightly at night, and it was darker than usual, as if the entire capital was covered by a big black pot.

Before Lejia started to eat dinner, there was a roar of horses outside, Yan Xiuyu ran in, patting the snow foam on his body, his eyebrows were full of happiness, and he beckoned to the people outside: "Bring everything in." ”

A group of people came in from outside, moving, hugging, going in and out, carrying things like ants in the house.

Yan Qingge looked at it and saw that there were porcelain pots of different sizes, some taller and deeper, and some short and larger. The former is filled with potted plum blossoms like dragons, and the latter is filled with water and filled with balls of daffodils that have drawn out their long-growing verdant branches.

These two are just the flowers to enjoy in winter, but unfortunately there are too many, the floor of the main hall is still not placed, and the rest are lined up in the cold wind at the door, so forget it, he brought those people, and still kept moving flower pots back and forth towards the courtyard. I don't know that he bought out a few shops that sell flowers to buy so many pots.

Yan Xiuyu showed a good-looking smile to Yan Qingge: "Sister Qingge, what other flowers do you like?" I'll send it to you another day. It's a pity that I didn't buy it today, so let's replace it with plum blossoms and narcissus. ”

Yan Qingge saw that he was so laborious, and he didn't know what he misunderstood, and said, "Why are you buying so much." The spring flowers were folded by me when I went out with Ling Xiao today, and they are not very rare things. ”

Yan Xiuyu's hand stiffened for a moment, and said, "Huh? ”

When Gu heard someone report the situation here, she also hurried over, and when she saw the dense flower pots in the house and yard, her eyes were dizzy for a while.

There is no escape from this, it must have been done by Yan Xiuyu.

She raised her forehead and said, "Brother Yu, what are you making trouble again?" ”

Yan Xiuyu groaned: "Oh, this afternoon I received the spring welcome sent by Sister Qingge, and I also have a few spring flowers at home, which have not yet begun to bloom, and I feel rare for a while, and I think that Sister Qingge and Brother Xuan have been in Bailu Academy for a few months, and they have come and gone to see those scenes, and they are very plain in front of me, so I bought some bonsai that bloom in winter." ”

Gu Shi said helplessly: "You can buy it, why buy so much, no one can put it down, even if you open a shop that sells flowers, it is enough." ”

Yan Xiuyu touched his head, looked at the potted plants full of pits and valleys, and felt a little too much. Just now, he was just blindly excited, and he bought too much as soon as he heard someone say it.

At this time, Yan Xiuyu's little servant came over and said: "Little prince, you forgot, we bought most of these for gardening, and the craftsmen will arrive in a while, and when they finish setting up the shelves, they won't occupy so much space." ”

Yan Xiuyu nodded hurriedly and smiled at Gu and Yan Qingge: "Yes, yes, yes!" These flowers are not placed indoors, but should be left outside for scenery. I just asked you, but I forgot! ”

As he spoke, more than a dozen craftsmen were brought in from outside the house, and several carts of timber and straw rope tools were pulled.

Now that it was getting late, the men set up torches and worked outside in the dark.

Yan Qingge has heard of someone using potted flowers to build a garden, but he has not seen it yet, because it costs a lot of money to do so, because the bonsai is not easy to take care of, and it will not take long to dismantle it.

Yan Xiuyu, Yan Qingge, and Gu Shi entered the house and warmed themselves by fire.

The craftsmen were busy until midnight before they set up the landscape.

The courtyard of Lejia is not big, they set up a plum wall to shine on the wall, a narrow garden, and along the road also dexterously placed some remaining potted flowers, facing the light of the torches, Yan Qingge and a few people watched it a little, because the time was too late, they fell asleep without looking closely.

On the morning of the second day, Yan Qingge got up, his nose twitched, and he asked Ruyi, who was waiting: "Where did Mei Xiang come from?" ”

She remembered when she asked, and said to herself, "Oh! It's the plum blossoms in the flower bed in the yard that are newly built. ”

She washed up and went out to take a look, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.

The Lejia house was bought in a hurry, the yard is not small, but the house is not good, the house is sparsely built, and the courtyard in the middle is full of large areas of yellow earth.

After moving in, several rooms and verandahs were added, the interior was renovated, and bluestone slabs were paved on the floor. But time is limited, and the yard that can only be cleaned up by accumulation over the years is still relatively desolate.

I couldn't see it clearly last night, but now that it's shining, I can already see it. The flower beds in the courtyard are very cleverly built, and the wooden shelves are high and low, and the potted flowers placed on them are also competing with each other, and they are no worse than the garden that has been maintained over many years. This garden makes the yard no longer empty, red plums, white plums, and white narcissus, intertwined and blooming, like a fairyland.

The best thing is that this small garden can be walked into and enjoy the flowers just like the real garden, and there are three steps and one scene, and there are different beauty everywhere. Gu Shi had already gotten up and walked around the small garden with the maid on his face.

After she came to the capital, she suddenly left Heshan, where she had stayed for many years, she didn't have any friends here, she stayed at home almost every day, and there were not many family affairs in Lejia, she was idle most of the time in a panic, and after having this garden, she finally had a pastime.

Yan Qingge looked at Gu's happy appearance, went back to the room, wrote a letter to Yan Xiuyu with a smile, and thanked him well.

At noon, Yan Qingge was teaching Ruyi to practice calligraphy in the house, when the curtain was lifted, and Shui Ying walked in.

Her face was flushed, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her head, and she didn't know what she was doing.

As soon as Shui Ying came in, she asked the maid to take off the leather jacket she was wearing outside, revealing a thin cotton dress, and said, "It's hot to death, but I can be relieved." ”

Yan Qingge put down the pen and asked Ruyi to fetch hot water for her to wash, and quipped: "The water shopkeeper, why are you free today?" ”

Shui Ying smiled: "It was my eldest brother and second brother who called me here." A few days ago, you and Ling Xiao rescued my second brother on the road, and they specially called me to thank you. I just came from Ling Xiao's house, and my eldest brother gave her a horse, and she pulled me to run for a while, and I was sweating all over. I told her to come with me, but she was reluctant to leave the horse, so I came alone. ”

Yan Qingge said with a smile: "Ling Xiao saw that the horse couldn't walk, and you didn't know it for the first time." “

"Well, she told you to bring you a cart of fresh fish, which I have outside. My eldest brother and second brother heard that you were learning the piano, so they gave you a guqin, and I asked the maid to put it on the table outside. ”

Yan Qingge didn't expect Shui Mu and Shui Zhi to be so polite, and said: "Your two brothers are so polite, the two of us have a friendship, just to help so casually, there is no need to give gifts at all." ”

Shui Ying smiled: "What are you worried about, you can't send them poorly." When they came back from the war, the emperor rewarded them with many good things. Don't take advantage of the present to ask for gifts, and wait for a few years to have a sister-in-law, who can touch those good things. ”

Yan Qingge laughed in his stomach. In the future, Shui Mu will marry Ling Xiao, just with the friendship between the three of them, and Ling Xiao's temper that does not go out of his mind, I am afraid that Shui Mu will get more things in his private treasury than now.
