The spring rain in April fell all night, or hit the hosta petals that filled the yard, or fell in the dust and soil, stirring up a burst of floral fragrance mixed with a faint earthy smell...... The fragrance of flowers wafts all over the yard, refreshing people's hearts, and makes people feel comfortable and comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.

Under the light golden morning light, Gu Zheng, who wore a placket with light pink trim embroidered Ruyi pattern buckle jacket, and a pleated skirt with lake green flowers everywhere, combed only two slightly playful braids, held a small and delicate brass scissors, and walked around the courtyard full of flowers, and finally squatted in front of a moon flower planted in a blue and white eight-sided landscape flower pot with a white background, about half a person high, and began to think about where to start......

This half-human-tall carmine moon season is very well raised, only to see the moon flowers on the branches or budding, or blooming arbitrarily, hanging on the branches in a staggered manner, and there are a few crystal clear rain and dew hanging on the petals of the layers of brocade clusters, so that Gu Zheng is very happy to see it, and immediately raised brass scissors and carefully cut a few down.

After cutting eight or nine flowers, Gu Zheng took the flowers and ran to the house happily, and when she saw the maid spoon who was in charge of her living and eating, she couldn't wait to say: "Sister Spoon, look at the newly cut moon flowers I just cut!" It's beautiful red, isn't it? I have to bother my sister to find a plain vase for me to arrange flowers......"

Spoon listened to it and smiled in response, and then took out a pastel fish algae pattern porcelain bottle from the Duobao Pavilion, and held it high for Gu Zheng to see: "Girl, do you think it is appropriate to use this pastel porcelain bottle to insert those few moon flowers?" ”

Gu Zheng took half a step back, squinted and examined for a moment, and finally shook his head in an old-fashioned manner and said, "I don't look very good!" Safflower with powder bottle, at first glance, it is a little less elegant, and these moon flowers are wronged! I saw that most of the plants in the yard were kept in pots with blue and white flowers on a white background, and I thought it was still so beautiful! ”

When the spoon heard this, he put the pastel fish algae pattern porcelain vase back in its place, and went to the Bogu shelf in the back room to take a one-foot-high, wide-mouthed, narrow-mouthed phoenix bird blue and white porcelain vase for Gu Zheng to see: "This is the blue and white style on a white background that the girl likes, does the girl like it?" ”

Gu Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he immediately took the blue and white porcelain vase of the phoenix bird over to take a closer look, and saw that in addition to a cluster of blue and white flowers on it, there was also a green peacock with wings spread and flying low, and the patterns were very elegant.

So Gu Zheng immediately chose it to arrange flowers, and saw that the few moon flowers were inserted into the porcelain vase, and the blue and white colors of the bottle body and the silver-red flowers on the bottle set off each other, and it became an elegant scenery that made people's eyes shine.

Gu Zheng looked at his masterpiece with a satisfied face for a while, then stretched his waist and moved to the courtyard full of birds and flowers. The slave's double bun is beautiful! Besides, there is no other girl in our house like you, who only hastily combs two braids without even inserting a hairpin......

"Don't get in the way, I'm not a serious girl in this house anyway."

Gu Zheng took a thin bamboo skewer as he spoke, poked the pair of blue-eared kingfishers hanging under the eaves, and poked the two birds so that they exploded their feathers and flapped their wings.

Gu Zheng fed the bird for a long time before he noticed that Spoon had been puffing out his cheeks and glaring at him dissatisfied, so in order to let Spoon no longer entangle her braids, Gu Zheng quickly said something to divert the topic: "By the way, what about my mother?" Hasn't she gotten up yet? ”

"Mrs. Gu, she ...... She ......"

Spoon'er's attention was really diverted by Gu Zheng, and she saw that she looked embarrassed, as if she wanted to find a decent excuse for Gu Zheng's mother, Gu Liniang, and cover up the ridiculous things Gu Liniang had done.

But this spoon is not good at lying by nature, I saw that she hesitated for a long time, and finally told the truth: "Before the slave maid came to serve the girl and got up, she had already gone to Mrs. Gu's house, but there was no Mrs. Gu in the house, and the bedding on the bed was also neatly spread, as if she had never been moved, and Mrs. Gu didn't return last night." ”

Although Gu Zheng had already guessed the answer, he couldn't help but muttered a few words to Gu Liniang in his heart, and then Gu Zheng didn't say much about this matter, and walked into the yard by himself, stretching his little arms and legs to stretch his muscles and bones, while closing his eyes and taking a few deep breaths, greedily breathing in the fresh air unique after the rain.

Gu Zheng was doing morning luck leisurely, and secretly sighed that he didn't have to be forced to follow his mother around to cheat, and it was a good day to earn that ill-gotten gain! After sighing, Gu Zheng couldn't help but pray a few words secretly, hoping that this kind of worry-free food and clothing, leisurely, as long as the days of planting flowers and enjoying the scenery every day can continue.

Later, Gu Zheng's thoughts turned to the past and present lives, remembering that she had traveled to "Dafeng", a dynasty that did not exist in history, for more than a month. Gu Zheng thought back to the previous days when the moon passed, and suddenly felt that there was a difference between the days he had lived now. After thinking about it for a while, Gu Zheng's thoughts drifted a little far away for a while......

At this moment, a few small pebbles fell coldly outside the pink and white high wall, and the small pebbles rolled down on the apricot tree in the corner of the wall with a few "knocks", smashing the apricot fruit bones that were the size of beans on the tree and rolled to the ground, and the movement also pulled Gu Zheng back to the present from his thoughts.

The small pebbles that suddenly flew in all directions startled the birds on the tree, and also made the little maid who was sprinkling and sweeping screamed in fright, and immediately held a broom to protect Gu Zheng behind him, and stared at the high pink wall with a vigilant face.

However, Gu Zheng, the youngest doll, did not panic at all, and saw that she was still calmly stretching her waist and splitting her legs...... It wasn't until a few voices came from the corner of the wall that Gu Zheng slowly moved to the corner of the wall, unhurriedly moved the two pots of hosta flowers that were originally placed in the corner, and after moving, he dropped a sentence of "Come in" and walked to the side of the stone bench and sat down, admiring Gu Liniang's performance intently.

I saw Gu Liniang, who was only wearing a middle coat, arching her body in embarrassment, and slowly got into the small dog hole in the corner, and as soon as she got into the yard, she immediately sat on the ground, panting and muttering: "This dog hole is so small!" Toss the dead mother! Ouch hey, the old lady's waist is almost broken! ”

Gu Zheng didn't have any sympathy at all, so he only said coldly: "You have drilled this dog hole several times, haven't you drilled it yet?" If you don't let Sister Spoon expand and dig more spacious for you, it will be easier for you to get in and out in the future. ”

Gu Liniang followed the prestige and saw that her ten-year-old daughter was smiling sweetly at her, and her daughter's bright smile made her scalp tingle at the moment, and she didn't dare to really accept her "kindness"!

As soon as Gu Zheng made a sound, Gu Liniang didn't care about continuing to complain, and directly got up from the ground with a "bone lu", approached Gu Zheng, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry!" If you don't drill in the future, it's ......"

Gu Liniang looked at her daughter carefully as she spoke, and when she saw the expensive dress on Gu Zheng's body, she immediately diverted the topic in an exaggerated tone: "Ouch, hey!" Our family is born to be everyone's best girl! Look at this dress, it is perfect for my family's maid, no matter how you look at it, it looks like the good money boy who walked down from the painting! ”

Gu Zheng directly ignored Gu Liniang's compliment, put away the smile on his face in the blink of an eye, and asked with a small face and a serious tone: "Mother, did you sneak out to gamble again?" Didn't you promise me never to gamble again? If you don't restrain yourself, be careful that the people of Cen Mansion will kick us out! ”

As soon as Gu Zheng asked, Gu Liniang immediately laughed twice with a dry "hehe", and explained in a shy voice: "Aren't I addicted to gambling and can't help it?" Gu Liniang said without forgetting to slap her chest "popping": "Besides, I quietly drilled in and out of this dog hole, and no one in Cen Mansion will know!" ”

The Tingquan Courtyard where Gu Zheng and Gu Liniang temporarily live is in the most corner of Cen Mansion, and the place separated from this courtyard by a wall is the long alley where the Cen family's stewards and servants live. The long alley leads to the long street outside, and the place where the dog hole is connected happens to be a dilapidated house that no one lives in, so Gu Liniang can leave Cen Mansion with a swagger as long as she goes outside through the dog hole.

When Gu Liniang patted her chest and said confidently, "No one in Cen Mansion will know", the spoon and the spoon both turned their faces away in unison, and they endured it for a long time before they laughed.

Gu Zheng saw that his head was suddenly full of black lines, and then he turned his head and walked into the house without saying a word, directly ignoring Gu Liniang's existence, and said to Spoon Er as he walked: "Sister Spoon, if Mrs. Luo asks about my mother's whereabouts in the future, you just have to tell the truth, and you don't have to cover it up for her." ”

"Ouch! Don't don't, don't! My dear girl, don't do that! Gu Liniang quickly followed Gu Zheng into the house, and repeatedly promised: "Okay, good!" Mother will no longer sneak out to gamble in the future! It just so happens that these two days are better luck at night than during the day, and my mother is bent on turning the book, so she forgets for a while that we are living in Cen Mansion and don't remember to come back after gambling all night. ”

Spoon and Xiao'er seemed to have long been accustomed to Gu Liniang's actions, and while they felt that it was not worth it for the well-behaved and smart Gu Zheng to have such a mother, they carried the food box from the kitchen early in the morning to the back room, and the two of them put the breakfast on the table one by one.

After the breakfast was set, Gu Zheng didn't call Gu Liniang to eat, but went to the table by himself, and ate with chopsticks.

Gu Liniang knew that Gu Zheng was still angry with her, so she didn't have to ask Gu Zheng to call her and slipped on the table very consciously, and did not carry chopsticks, but directly reached out and grabbed the delicate pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.
