In front of him is a pool of turquoise water, with waterfowl flying low where the water meets the sky in the distance, and reeds swaying gently in the breeze nearby. The man leaned on the crane and played with the counting beads in his hand and said, "That's right, it's this bracelet." Brother Xianhe really has some ability. How about taking me to meet him tonight? ”

Before the words fell, the slim snow-white crane suddenly took a few steps forward without warning, and the man was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

He got up in embarrassment and said, "As for it? ”

The crane raised its wings and was about to fly away, but the man hurriedly begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, Sister Crane, you have a lot of adults, how about taking me to meet him tonight?" ”

The crane immediately folded its wings and nodded its beautiful head, and the man immediately smiled.

Hua Mian took Bao'er back to Wisteria Garden, and planned to use lunch to coax him to sleep, but who knew that the food sent by the imperial dining room was only enough for four people to eat, and Hua Mian remembered that he only cared about hiding outside, and forgot to let people inform the imperial dining room to cook more meals.

Pei Yingshi glanced at a few vegetarian dishes on the table, pouted and said, "This kind of meal is really hard to swallow." ”

Ji Yunye said: "Since it's hard to swallow, then please." ”

Pei Yingshi didn't hear it, and said to Hua Mian with a smile: "Mian'er asked people to inform the imperial dining room to add a few dishes." Even if you don't care about me, you have to take care of Wantao. ”

Hua Mian said to Wan Tao fluently: "What do you want to eat?" ”

Wan Tao said indifferently: "I'm not a picky eater, just feel casual." ”

"A braised pork ribs, a lotus leaf chicken, a cup of tomato beef soup, a steamed tender tofu covered with minced meat, a rock sugar pear white fungus soup, and finally an appetizing sweet and sour lotus root slices."

Hua Mian looked at Pei Yingshi with a smile: "The fried pumpkin flowers, wine-stuffed meatballs, braised pork, spiced eggplant boxes, spicy shrimp, and green onion cakes here are all a must, do you want to serve them together?" ”

Pei Yingshi said modestly: "Why be so extravagant, those dishes are enough, and the other dishes will be eaten slowly in the future, besides, if you eat all the good things at once, you won't feel its deliciousness." ”

Hua Mian nodded knowingly, and then said to Wan Tao with a smile: "You can also order two." ”

Wan Tao said: "The rock sugar Sydney white fungus soup and sweet and sour lotus root slices ordered by the emperor are very suitable for my taste, so I won't order them." ”

Hua Mian then gave an order to the little eunuch who was with him, and when he left, he beckoned everyone to move their chopsticks. Everyone was not polite, and they picked up their chopsticks and started moving. Pei Yingshi didn't eat it herself, she just kept picking up vegetables for Bao'er, and after a while, he piled up his plates like a hill.

Bao'er couldn't help frowning and looked at Pei Yingshi in embarrassment.

Pei Ying said in confusion: "What's wrong?" Eat it. ”

Bao'er pursed her lips and said, "Ah Yue said, you have to eat as much as you want, and you can't waste it." Is Uncle Ah Shi planning to strangle Bao'er to death? ”

Pei Yingxi couldn't help but look at Ling Yue, but saw that he was only focused on his own job and didn't look at him. He looked at Hua Mian again, well, she also ate with relish, and occasionally gave Wan Tao a dish. He looked at Ji Yunye again, hey, he could concentrate on eating a meal. But these dishes were really not to his taste, so he took out some of the dishes in front of Bao'er and wanted to put them on Wantao's plate. Who knew that the dish was still in the air, and it was stopped by three pairs of chopsticks at the same time.

He couldn't help but look at the three people who didn't even raise their eyelids, and said puzzledly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Hua Mian said slowly: "Didn't Bao'er just say? Eat as much as you want. ”

Pei Yingshi couldn't help but look at Bao'er sympathetically: "Are you sure she is your mother?" ”

Bao'er said aggrievedly: "I'm pretty sure she's my mother, I just want to know if you're my uncle?" ”

Pei Yingshi couldn't help but open her mouth wide, how did she end up becoming her own, didn't she? In desperation, he had to turn those "hard to swallow" dishes to his mouth, and then swallowed them with difficulty, and at the same time sneered, no wonder no one stopped him when he was serving vegetables to Bao'er, it turned out that they actually made this calculation, which was really insidious!

He looked at Hua Mian with indignation: "Mian'er, how can you bully me with them?" ”

Ling Yue spoke before Hua Mian said: "Bao'er was educated by us in this way, only by eating a trench can you grow wise, don't you say that Emperor Xi He?" ”

Ji Yunye was still gloating, and he was embarrassed by his little name, so he got off the donkey and said, "That's it, if it's not like this, how can you remember it for a long time?" ”

Pei Yingshi seemed to have discovered something from their conversation, and his mood suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

When the little eunuch brought the dishes ordered by Pei Yingshi, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Except for the rock sugar pear white fungus soup and sweet and sour lotus root slices, the other four dishes didn't even see a shadow, and he immediately complained indignantly.

Hua Mian said lazily: "Who said that I didn't even see a shadow?" Isn't that braised hodgepodge with pork ribs, chicken, beef, and tender tofu in it? ”

As soon as these words came out, except for Pei Yingshi's complaining face, the other three either sprayed rice or choked on rice.

Pei Yingshi hurriedly snatched the pot of hodgepodge into his arms and protected it, disgusted with them. In the end, although he was depressed, he also relished all the pots of vegetables in his stomach, and did not forget to praise: "Such a dish can also make a flavor, and Amaterasu's imperial chef is really extraordinary." ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at the sky.

After the meal, Hua Mian wanted to send them together under the pretext that Bao'er still had to take a nap. None of them would leave, but they set up a chessboard in the courtyard and played against each other.

Hua Mian had to go to them. As soon as she returned to the room, she asked Bao'er: "Why did Ah Yue go chasing cranes?" ”

Bao'er remembered Ah Yue's words, shook her head and said, "Ah Yue won't let Bao'er mention his chasing cranes again. ”

Hua Mian coaxed: "Bao'er can not mention it to others, her mother is Bao'er's closest person, and it doesn't matter if you mention it in front of your mother." ”

"I see!" Bao'er suddenly put her mind at ease, so she said 1510, "I saw the crane flying down from the sky, I was very happy, so I went over and wanted to touch it, but Ah Yue pulled me and didn't let me pass, and then the crane himself came over, and suddenly took away Ah Yue's purse hanging on his waist with his mouth." Later, Ah Yue hurriedly went to chase the crane. ”

I see! Hua Mian continued to follow the temptation: "What is in Ah Yue's purse?" ”

Bao'er said without thinking: "It's a string of beads." ”

"What beads?"

"It's like the beads on my mother's hand."

Hua Mian was surprised, could it be Pei Gongcuo's dry incense? Thinking that when Ling Yue returned the jade flute to herself, she said that she had taken it from Pei Gongcuo, it seemed that the string of dry incense should have been obtained by taking the sheep with her hand at that time. I really didn't expect Ah Yue to have the potential to be a thief.

When Bao'er came out of the room after coaxing Bao'er to sleep, what Hua Mian saw was the scene of four people sitting around a table and three people playing at the same time, like Tao watching the battle.

She walked over curiously, wondering what they were playing, and was astonished to see it. I saw that there were many more pebbles on the chessboard in addition to the black and white chess pieces.

She stammered, "What kind of chess are you playing?" ”

"Backgammon." The three of them said in unison.

Hua Mian almost didn't bite her tongue: "Backgammon can still be played by three people?" ”

Ji Yunye glanced up at her and said, "If you want to join, the four of you can also go down." ”

"I won't be involved in your men's wars." Hua Mian sat next to Wan Tao and held his cheeks, "Is there a colorful head?" ”

Ling Yue dropped a small pebble and said unhurriedly, "Naturally, there is." ”

Hua Mian said curiously: "What is it?" ”

"If either of them wins, he will be able to take you out of the palace tomorrow. And the one who loses will not be allowed to see you tomorrow. ”

Hua Mian couldn't help but stammer: "You even used me as a bet without asking for my consent." ”

Ling Yue smiled slightly: "Okay, now do you have any opinions?" ”

Hua Mian thought about it seriously and felt that although this was not a long-term solution, it was not a bad solution, so he shook his head and said, "No opinion." But what if they all lose? ”

"Naturally, no one can come and harass you."

"How could they agree?"

Ling Yue smiled silently. Hua Mian looked at Ji Yunye, and then at Pei Yingshi, and suddenly realized something. She couldn't help but look at Ling Yue again, why didn't she notice him being so black-bellied?

The final result was - Ling Yue won.

He got up and stretched, "Tomorrow should be a good day, Men'er, where do you want to play?" ”

Hua Mian looked at Ji Yunye and Pei Yingshi sympathetically, and seeing that they all had a sad expression, compassion suddenly overflowed, and she pleaded with Ling Yue: "Or, bring them with you tomorrow." ”

As soon as the words fell, Ji Yunye and Pei Yingshi suddenly said in unison:

"It's so nice to be in Myanmar."

"It's better to be in Myanmar."

Ling Yue pulled down her face and said with an unkind expression, "Are you sure?" ”

Hua Mian thought about it carefully again, and felt that it was better to forget it, so he explained to Ji Yunye and Pei Ying: "I am willing to lose the bet, and I will talk about it when you win tomorrow." ”

Pei Ying explained: "I won't gamble tomorrow." ”

Ji Yunye echoed: "I don't gamble anymore." ”

Hua Mian said curiously: "Why are you on the same front?" ”

Without waiting for them to reply, Ling Yue said, "Do you still need to ask?" When you see an eyesore and you can't see you, which do you think they will choose? ”

Hua Mian was suddenly stunned, but at this time, she heard Pei Ying explain: "Mian'er, since I can't see you tomorrow, can I go back later tonight?" ”

Ji Yunye hurriedly said: "In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows, do you think this is appropriate?" ”

Ling Yue and Hua Mian both looked at Ji Yunye with strange eyes, but he didn't see it, and blocked all their eyes with the face of the copper wall.

In the end, Pei Yingshi compromised: "If you don't worry, you can stay, I just want to look at the stars with Myanmar and talk about life." ”

Hua Mian was speechless when she heard this, and what made her even more speechless was that Ling Yue and Ji Yunye really stayed, and then the four of them sat on the top of the hall - looking at the stars and talking about life. Wan Tao couldn't stand it, so he went into the room and lay down on Hua Mian's bed and fell asleep.

They are indeed talking about life seriously, from childhood to the present, Hua Mian even analyzed all his feelings in front of them, saying that he has no intention of getting married now, and hopes that they will consider it carefully. As a result, Ji Yunye and Pei Yingshi still insisted on waiting.

At this moment, Hua Mian only felt extremely tired, and finally couldn't hold it anymore, tilted her head, fell into Ling Yue's arms and fell asleep.
