Chapter 20: Suiyuan Garden (1)
"Miss, are you sure you're okay?"
"Did you just get angry, so you don't feel well?"
"Miss, your face is not very good-looking, why don't we go back to the house to rest?"
Just kidding, I finally came out for a banquet, but before I arrived at the county king's mansion, I had such a big and lively day.
How could you go home because of heartache?
"It's okay, I'll just go back to the car and rest for a while."
Chen Muzhi glanced at Wei Xu again and found that he was looking at him with a smile.
The red horse and the young man in white are too dazzling.
Chen Muzhi hurriedly turned around and got into the car, lowered the curtain, and didn't dare to take another look.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the pain in Chen Muzhi's heart finally subsided. A trace of doubt crept up in his heart.
This is the second time she has seen Wei Xu since returning home. The strange thing is that why every time she sees Wei Xu, she has a heartache?
Last time, I only had a slight greeting with Wei Xu, so my heart was only faintly painful, could it be that I quarreled with the man in the green robe this time? Or was he angry with Wang Hualan's shameless behavior?
Why does it hurt so much?
Thinking about it, he didn't know the essentials for a while, and after touching a stick of incense, the sound of horses' hooves finally slowed down, and Chen Muzhi heard a noisy sound of carriages and horses, which was the arrival of the Yujun Palace.
In the Dashun Dynasty, there were several county kings, but there was no one like Yujun Wang, who was in the center of the empire all the year round.
When Yujun Wang was a teenager, he was the companion of today's Hongchang Emperor, and the relationship between the two was extraordinary. Later, when Emperor Hongchang was twenty years old, he was assassinated while traveling, and King Yujun Fenfen blocked a sword for him and was cut off half of his left arm. Emperor Hongchang was grateful to his heart, and after ascending the throne, he was named the king of the county with a different surname, and Longen continued for more than 30 years.
The Suiyuan Garden, which hosted the birthday banquet for Lanxin County, was the first garden to be rewarded by the Yujun Palace. In the following decades, with the continuous increase of the number of people in the county king's mansion and the successive purchase of land in the surrounding area, the county king's mansion has become today's spectacular.
Today's Sui Garden can be described as the most dazzling place in the capital, and it can compare the most beautiful gardens to the limit.
The ladies of the noble families and high-ranking officials of the noble family in the capital are all dressed up in flowers, and walk together in the garden, and the garden is full of coquettish words, and even the birds are too embarrassed to chirp.
Chen Muzhi followed behind Wang, seeing this and that, with a well-behaved face.
And the Wang family is talking about it, and it does treat Wang Hualan as the same, and whoever Chen Muzhi has seen, the Wang family will also launch his niece. Those ladies had already heard that after the accident of Grandpa Guo, the Wang family's mother's family had entered Beijing to accompany them, and they had to say something to praise Wang Hualan's delicate and beautiful scene.
Wang Hualan is serious.
She has never had a clear understanding of herself, and she does not intend to have a clear understanding.
Chen Muzhi wasn't much interested in the mutual scrutiny and temptation between the women in front of her, she looked around from time to time, activated her super sensitive ear power to search around, wanting to see if the female companions who had played well in the past had come.
Suddenly, she caught a hint of familiarity in the cacophony of voices, and looked happily under the begonia tree.
"Wooden branches!" A young girl stood under a begonia tree and called out to her.
"Cunfang!" Chen Muzhi responded in surprise.
He immediately turned to Wang and said, "Mother, Sister Cunfang is over there, I'll go and have a few words with her." ”
Wang was kind: "Go ahead, don't be naughty, and don't go too far." ”
"Got it, Mother." Chen Muzhi responded and ran towards Zheng Cunfang's side.
Even though she ran fast, the voice behind her still drifted into her ears.
"I heard that Mrs. Chen loves these children as if they were her own, and sure enough, the relationship is not ordinarily good."
Wang laughed: "If you don't mention it, I can't remember that they are not my own child." ”
I hope that is the case. Chen Muzhi thought to himself.
*
Zheng Cunfang is the third daughter of Chen Muzhi's serious uncle, Zheng Mu's son, and the baby granddaughter of Chen Muzhi's maternal grandfather Zheng Dingyuan and maternal grandmother Shu Zhen, who is one year older than Chen Muzhi, fourteen and a half years old this year.
Under the begonia tree, Zheng Cunfang grabbed Chen Muzhi who was running: "Muzhi, why did grandmother send someone to pick you up, and you didn't come." ”
Chen Muzhi said: "It's only been a few days since I returned to the house to settle down, so I'll talk to my mother and brother first, and I'll come in a few days." ”
Chen Muzhi did not expose the Wang family, and let the Wang family be "the best stepmother in the capital" for a while.
Zheng Cunfang also made sense when she heard it, and said with a smile: "Then it's decided, you can stay with me when you come, and we can whisper every night again." ”
"I don't want to, you kick me on the quilt."
Zheng Cunfang was a little embarrassed, and argued in a low voice: "That was also when I was a child, and now I sleep well." ”
"Really? Then I'm going to take a look, has the third lady of the Zheng family become well-behaved? ”
"There are a lot of people here, it's inconvenient to speak, let's go to a place with fewer people."
Zheng Cunfang pulled Chen Muzhi and was about to leave, but Chen Muzhi said: "If you are in a hurry, let me go and see my aunt first." ”
"Ah, the little girl is so thoughtful now."
Since childhood, as long as these two people are mixed together, they will do naughty things, and for this reason, Mrs. Zheng often said that Chen Muzhi has skinned her family's Cunfang.
Of course, after all, Mrs. Zheng still loves Chen Muzhi very much, and is angry that Chen Muzhi is not dead, and after coming back, she didn't go to Zheng's house to report safety, holding Chen Muzhi's hand, and loving and disgusting, and finally stuffed a handful of candy and asked the two not to go far.
The two of them went in with their left ear and out with their right ear, and they held hands and walked to the depths of the garden.
Walking to a water pavilion, the two sat down against the railing. In the pool, several koi fish swim happily.
"Cunfang, have you ever seen a motionless fish?" Chen Muzhi asked.
"Motionless? Is it winter that is frozen? Zheng Cunfang was curious.
Chen Muzhi smacked at her: "What, how can a frozen fish still survive." I've seen when it's cold, and so many fish huddle together, motionless, looking at it as if time has stood still. ”
"It's fun......" Zheng Cunfang was very envious, "You follow your uncle, you can go to many places and see the outside world, I can only be at home all day, at most I will come out to participate in this kind of Laoshzi's birthday banquet......"
"Shhhh......h
Zheng Cunfang didn't understand what it meant, but she didn't dare to speak, blinked a pair of apricot eyes, and followed Chen Muzhi's gaze to look at the rockery outside the water pavilion.
On the other side of the rockery, there was no one and there was no movement.
Zheng Cunfang didn't know why, and saw Chen Muzhi listening attentively, and asked curiously, "What did you hear?" ”
"Somebody's plotting something." Chen Muzhi whispered to Zheng Cunfang, "Don't make noise, let me finish listening." ”
Zheng Cunfang also became nervous, trying to prick up her ears to listen, but she only heard the birdsong of early spring, and nothing else.
