They arrived early, the plum blossoms were not much blooming, and the scattered red plums were very conspicuous in the snow.

The steward is very discerning, although he wants to curry favor with the princess, but the princess has not invited a guest except Lu Yi today, which is ......

If he doesn't leave in front of the princess, it's not flattering, it's disgusting.

After longan finished making tea, he also retreated to the door and gently closed the door.

The two windows of the open sky were open, but there was not much cold air coming in. The brazier in the open xuan was burning vigorously, not only was it cold, but Liu Yan took off the cloak and felt sweat in his neck.

Lu Yi is quite familiar with this garden - anyway, he is right, and the steward here may not be as detailed as he said.

"This plum blossom has also been transplanted, and it has been a lot of years. Now the early blooming begonia, cherry, cinnabar, jade sandalwood, these will bloom later. If you want to enjoy the plum and snow, it will be better in half a month. ”

Liu Yan looked out the window, smiled and said, "It's good now." Do you smell it? Plum blossom fragrance. ”

Liu Yan doesn't have too much preference for which flower, but the floral fragrance she likes is two.

One is jasmine, and the other is plum blossom.

The wind is always warm and soft during the jasmine season, and the floral fragrance is also warm and soft.

Plum blossoms are different, they bloom in the coldest season, and the fragrance of flowers after snow is clearer.

Liu Yan has used a lot of concocted plum blossom cakes and fragrant dew, but she feels that these spices made of plum blossoms have lost their original flavor.

Perhaps it is because the blended ingredients and processes have changed the fragrance, or perhaps because there is no coldness, the aroma of plum blossoms is no longer special and outstanding among the spices.

"This garden is good, but when it was first built, some people said that it was not very practical."

"Huh?"

Lu Yi said: "The person who built the garden was Mr. Qiao Lian, and it was when the dynasty was in turmoil, and Mr. Qiao and my grandfather were on good terms, and it was also unexpected. His situation is very bad, his son was once framed in a foreign office, and Old Man Qiao wanted to save him, but he had a weak temperament, and he committed suicide without waiting for Old Man Qiao to rescue him. ”

Liu Yan said softly: "It is also miserable for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. ”

"Old man Qiao was depressed after losing his son, and later wanted to build a garden to support the elderly - saying that it was for the elderly, in fact, others guessed that he was looking for a sustenance. Halfway through the garden, he passed away. ”

"Because this garden was built for the elderly, and the Qiao family withered, the scenery here is too indifferent and desolate, if you want to use it as a residence, there are very few houses and courtyards, so you have to change it greatly. But if it is greatly changed, the original flavor of this garden will be lost again. ”

What Lu Yi said is indeed very right.

Liu Yan also felt something, but he didn't understand it as clearly as he said.

This garden is used to enjoy and entertain guests, and the scenery is indeed missing. If you want to live in it, there are really few houses to live in. There are a few pavilions and pavilions that are used for viewing the scenery.

But Liu Yan still likes it here.

Maybe it's because it's quiet, and she's not that much of a bustling person.

Later, the person who took over this garden was Guo Yi, the word Xizhou, and he was also a transcendent figure like an idle cloud and a wild crane. However, although Guo Yi built this garden, he himself was not able to use it, and the world was already in chaos, and the garden was deserted. Later, although some people inquired about this garden, there were always unsatisfactory things, and some people even said that the two owners of this garden did not get any good results, which was very unlucky. ”

Liu Yan was happy: "What does this have to do with the garden?" Whether it is a natural disaster or a military disaster, it is not something that can be changed by manpower. ”

"But people always seek good and avoid evil. For example, the conditions of the two houses are similar, and at this time someone tells you that the first one was vacated by someone who died in the connection, and the second one was moved out after the previous owner was promoted and made a fortune, and eight of those ten people were willing to buy the latter one. ”

Well, that's true.

Of the two choices Lu Yi said, Liu Yan estimated that he might also choose the latter.

The reason, as he said, people will always seek good fortune and avoid evil, this is instinct.

"The water for cooking tea today is the snow water on the plum blossoms that I harvested, taste it."

Lu Yi smiled and shook his head: "I'm not so elegant, in my opinion, as long as the water is not salty and bitter, it tastes the same when you drink it." ”

Liu Yan glanced at him: "Me too." ”

But today's tea seems to have a fragrance of plum blossoms.

But this fragrance does not necessarily come from the snow water, but because of the plum blossom forest outside the open pavilion.

When she put down the teacup, Liu Yan's gaze swept over Lu Yi's hand - she hadn't noticed it before, but now that the two of them were sitting close, she saw that something was wrong.

"What's wrong with your hand?"

Lu Yi naturally put his hand down: "Rub a little skin on the road." ”

Liu Yan wouldn't let him fool around like this: "Let me see." ”

"It's really nothing." Lu Yi raised his hand: "It's just a small injury, it's already closed." ”

It's cold, and the skin is broken and it does close faster than at other times.

But this injury is not short, on the edge of the palm of the left hand, extending to the wrist, it does not look like he said "rubbing a little skin".

Looking at this injury, it is only a matter of two or three days.

"How did it hurt?"

Lu Yi couldn't get over, so he had to say: "The things I brought back from Liyang are a little important, some people don't want this thing to reach the capital, and they want to snatch it away halfway." ”

Obviously, Lu Yi is sitting in front of her now, Liu Yan still chuckled in his heart: "This errand is so dangerous?" Are you still hurt? ”

"No, really not." Lu Yi hurriedly promised: "This place was scratched on my hand." I brought people with me, just to prevent people and dogs from jumping off the wall. ”

Liu Yan didn't speak for a while.

Lu Yi lowered his voice, he also knew that Liu Yan must be afraid.

I was afraid because I was worried about him.

If a person does not care about the other person, then he does not care so much about his safety.

His heart was warm and sweet.

The charcoal basin in the house may indeed be too hot, and Lu Yi, who has always been calm and calm, is also blushing at this time.

"Have you taken the medicine?"

"I've been on ......" Lu Yi hurriedly added: "I was drugged on the day I was injured, and this is almost healed." ”

However, he is also a little weak-hearted, because this medicine is changed every three days, and it is said that he should take the medicine again today.

But he was in a hurry to see Liu Yan today, the smell of medicine was very strong, he definitely wouldn't apply it, and it was impossible to wrap the wound with a strip of cloth.

But Liu Yan still found out.

"Bring the medicine."

Lu Yi definitely didn't dare to carry it hard at this time, of course, what Liu Yan said was what.

After a while, the medicine was delivered, Liu Yan pulled the stopper, and the smell of the ointment flushing his nose suddenly washed away the plum blossom fragrance and tea fragrance in Changxuan.
