1. Fold the leaves and throw flowers to endow acacia
"Since the maid arrived in the Qin Mansion seven years ago, he has always remembered the teachings of the lady, and he must not stay away from the side of the lady, but also protect the lady everywhere, if the lady insists on jumping today, the maid can only risk death to accompany him, I only hope that the lady can treat the maid's brother well for the sake of the servant martyrdom, and the maid will not go in vain."
Pretending to cry weakly in his ears, it made people feel a headache, Meng Nanjun looked at the girl who was climbing the ladder to pull the corners of her clothes with some disgust, and rubbed her forehead with a free hand on the high wall, and said helplessly: "It's over, right, do you believe that I really lost you?" ”
The girl's name is Lishu, she was originally the daughter of the servant of the Meng family, because her father and mother died early, she has been staying in the Meng family, and she grew up inseparable as Meng Nanjun's attendant, so every time Meng Nanjun wants to do something secretly, he always can't escape the eyes of this person.
Lishu knows the heart of the young lady best, and the threatening words were thrown out by her as soon as she heard them, and with a roll of her eyes, she took away the two tears that she couldn't drop, and turned to a worried look.
"It's really not that the maid is too talkative, it's really that the lady has been watching closely for the past two days, if the lady runs out while the lady is out to buy, the lady will definitely be angry when she comes back, and she will be reluctant to punish the lady at that time, and the family law will be accepted by the maidservant on her behalf."
Ordinary people, if the young lady and young master don't listen to discipline, it is inevitable that the maid will be implicated, but if she dares to cause any trouble, her mother must have punished her first, and only after calming down her anger did she go to Lishu to ask the ins and outs.
Yili Shu didn't have to stop her from going out at all, as long as he accompanied her to listen to the training after the accident.
As for the family law, she can only be punished.
Meng Nanjun was in a hurry, and he didn't talk much to her, after all, Reading Lishu had already dressed as a man like herself, and she was obviously ready to go out with her, so she only asked: "Today's March 3rd, do you want to go?" ”
As soon as the words fell, sure enough, the wine supervisor Lishu flipped down neatly, and his proficiency was obviously practiced many times, and even urged Meng Nanjun to hurry up after landing steadily.
There is no worry that he will have to "die for the Lord" as soon as he jumps down.
Jumping off the courtyard wall that was barely a head taller than himself, Meng Nanjun straightened his sleeves with some folds, and the pear book beside him muttered "March 3rd", and the excitement was obvious.
The Daqi folk style is open, every March 3, there are men and women of appropriate age dressed up in a parade, gather on the waterfront, there is a love at first sight, you can throw leaves and flowers to make exchanges, show your heart, and you don't know how many good stories you have achieved. Such a scene of "pouring out of the nest" is really rare, you must know that the sons do not have so many rules on weekdays, and the streets and alleys are also common, but the ladies with higher status are waiting for the boudoir, and it is easy to see the beauty.
Meng Nanjun and Lishu are not the first year to join in the fun.
Meng's mansion is far away from the waterside of Acacia, and he doesn't know how long he will have to walk on his two legs, so Meng Nanjun took the pear book to bypass the two alleys and arrived in front of a house with a closed door.
The knocker knocked lightly, and it was three times without hurrying, but because no one answered the door for a long time, Meng Nanjun began to pick the vermilion paint on the wooden door, and the sound was so harsh.
"Meng Nanjun!" After a while, the owner of the house returned, but before the man arrived, the voice came first.
Meng Nanjun turned her head to look, and saw the delicate girl with an angry face, and ran towards her in three or two steps.
"Put away your idle paws, and look at what my house has made you look like." The woman grabbed her hand angrily, "I only made up the paint a few days ago, you are going to break it for me again, and my mother has to talk to me for a long time." ”
The woman's name is Liu Yunqi, her father is the first merchant in the imperial capital, and she can be described as a wealthy family, because there are five brothers in the family, only one of her is a daughter, so she has naturally been held in the palm of her father and brother since she was a child.
Half a year ago, she saw the right eye with a showman who was rushing to take the exam, and the family was reluctant to let her be sad, so they moved out of Liu's house and set up a small house in the place where civilians gathered, but there was a lot of movement.
"My mother is also afraid that you will suffer with me, so I will read more, but I can't misunderstand her kindness." While the two were talking, Liu Yunqi's husband, Zhou Xu, also walked over, holding a few books in his hands, and his words and deeds were full of weakness and anger.
If it is placed in a remote village, it can produce a show, that is, the ancestral tomb is smoking, and it is unknown how much honor it has, but at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are countless poor scholars, and the family of officials and businessmen can produce many people, and it is really common for the Liu family to look down on Zhou Xu.
As for why he agreed, it was because Liu Yunqi was fascinated by him, and felt that although he had no ability for the time being, he was better than being good to himself, begging, going on a hunger strike, and running away from home...... The tricks were parallel, which forced the old man of the Liu family to compromise.
And Meng Nanjun glanced at the person who was "watery and tender" to her in Liu Yunqi's mouth, but the corners of her lips were slightly hooked.
Fingertips crushed the broken vermilion lacquer that had just been picked off by him, Meng Nanjun retracted his gaze, and couldn't help laughing: "If you want me to say that you don't make up for this vermilion lacquer, it's best to replace it with a simple wooden door, after all, the vermilion lacquer gate is too ostentatious, and when pedestrians see it, they may want to say that Brother Zhou is clinging to your Liu family." There are just two doors on the left and right, and if you don't use it, you won't lose face, so why bother gossiping? ”
interrupted the affection between the two, but Meng Nanjun didn't feel that what she said was simply a bad scenery, and although Liu Yunqi was unforgiving, she also regarded Meng Nanjun as a close friend in the end.
Zhou Xu was not annoyed, he looked at her dotingly, and seemed to be afraid that she would snub Meng Nanjun, so he asked for her: "What is the important matter for Miss Meng to come today?" ”
When he mentioned this, Meng Nanjun seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "Lend me your carriage and coachman, I'm in a hurry to get out." ”
The Meng family has no shortage of cars, and today is the third day of March, saying that she is in a hurry to go out, how could Liu Yunqi not know where she is going? didn't think about whether to remove the vermilion lacquer door, so he grabbed her wrist again.
"On this day last year, you ran out, and your mother punished you for kneeling for two days, if your father hadn't stopped you, you would definitely have been on the family law, and you would dare to do it again?"
was mentioned in such an old matter, but Meng Nanjun was not ashamed at all, but before she could say anything, Zhou Xu on the side started a round and said softly to Liu Yunqi: "March 3 is a good day, Miss Meng has never been married, and she should go out for a walk on this day, maybe she can find a lover." ”
Liu Yunqi glared at him after hearing this, "Before you speak for her, let's see what kind of dress she is wearing, is this dress looking for a husband or a lady?" ”
Take a closer look at what she said, Zhou Xu was choked and speechless, Meng Nanjun saw that no one could deal with Liu Yunqi for herself, so she coughed lightly and persuaded herself: "If I dress up as a woman, won't they all know my identity?" Who will be able to tell the truth by then? I, Meng Nanjun, want to marry, so naturally I am marrying someone who understands my heart. ”
The words were high-sounding, but Liu Yunqi listened to the complexity.
If it was ten years ago, there must be countless people who want to climb the Meng family, after all, there are still few warlocks who know feng shui, let alone a centuries-old feng shui family like the Meng family?
However, in the past ten years, the Meng family has gradually declined, and it is no longer prosperous, and when it comes to Meng Nanjun and the queen, there are occasionally three or two families who come to the door to ask for marriage, and the matchmakers invited also make Meng Nanjun scare back with various methods.
The matchmaker is the most broken-mouthed, and it won't take long for it to be known to everyone, and now if someone mentions Meng Nanjun in the imperial capital, there are only three words - "the family is in the middle of the road", "the temperament is eccentric", and "his appearance is not good".
"What do you always see me do? I'm still in a hurry, so I'm in a hurry to lend me the carriage. Meng Nanjun didn't care what she was about to say or stop, she snatched the key and opened the closed door. Liu Yunqi had no choice but to ask the coachman to send her, and did not forget to ask her to come back earlier.
Because of the rain in the past few days, the road was difficult to travel, so the coachman drove the carriage a little slower, and Meng Nanjun sat in it and was shaken drowsy, and his eyelids were closed after not long to be raised. Lishu didn't bother her, lightly pulled the curtain down, and waited until she got to the place before calling her up.
Spring is coming in March, the drizzle is continuous, and the mist is like a light veil for a beauty to hide her face, which does not damage the beauty, but adds a touch of mystery.
In the pavilion covered by green shade on the shore, there is always no shortage of leisurely literati and elegant guests, making ink and brushes, and the poems of the picture scroll jump on the paper, and sigh secretly A masterpiece of the world.
Daqi is mostly a scholarly family, and it is precisely like this, the so-called scholars who pretend to be high are a lot, and over time, the high buildings are full of glitz, and everywhere can become a place of indulgence and pleasure.
Meng Nanjun sent the coachman back, and Lishu held up a plain umbrella and walked along the acacia waterside. The silk and bamboo orchestra came slowly, hazy in the drizzle, and the sound of music was getting closer, and a boat came into view, and the waves rippled above the plain water, such as the thin lips whispered softly, slowly flowing through the heart.
"The Jade Floating Palace is generous, people who couldn't ask for a lot of money in the past, but today they are showing up here, listening to this voice, there must be no doubt that it is the first girl." As the boat sailed away from the sight, Meng Nanjun raised his eyebrows, and it was rare to be a little surprised.
Lishu pursed her lips when she heard her mention "Chu Wu", not only with a look of disgust on her face, but also without a tactful expression on her mouth, "This Jade Floating Palace is a song and dance workshop if it sounds good, and it is just a place to find flowers and ask willows if it is unpleasant, the people outside want to be guests in the curtain, and the people inside want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, so what's so strange about them coming out?" It's just a different venue to pick up customers. ”
When Lishu was young, her father forced her mother to commit suicide by throwing herself into the river because of a Qinglou woman's family wealth, so she will inevitably have prejudices against places like the Jade Floating Palace.
Meng Nanjun naturally knew this, so she didn't criticize Lishu, but reminded with a smile: "The little girl really dares to say anything outside, don't let people listen to jokes." ”
"The maid is not afraid," Lishu said disapprovingly, but in the end he lowered his voice, and came to her side and whispered: "The little one came out with the young master today to see the beauty, so what's the point of talking about it?" ”
There are two sides to everything in the world, and the openness of the people means that words and deeds are relatively free, but some of the inequalities are magnified to a more conspicuous point, just as even if a man's judgment of a woman is explicit, there are still people who will say a true character, and if a woman dares to say more, it is a loss of virtue.
This is one of the reasons why Rishu thinks that if she dresses as a man, she can say those things.
It didn't take long for the hazy drizzle to stop, and Lishu put away the umbrella, and before he could sigh a word of emotion, his vision was much wider, and he saw that the slightly open umbrella mouth was stuffed into a peach blossom.
Looking up along the slender jade hand, the woman with a bright posture held a fan to cover the corners of her lips, and her beautiful eyes were full of charm.
It's just that what she saw was obviously Meng Nanjun.
Acacia waterside planted all the way with a thousand leaves of peach blossoms, because there is a special person to take care of the sake of the flowers, one by one branches and flowers, such a good day is not obvious to be broken off a flower, and March is close to the end of spring, the original first flower and then the leaves of the hundred leaf peach at this time also grew leaves, if Meng Nanjun is really a man, and happens to be interested in the person in front of him, you can break off a leaf to lead to the future.
That is, "folding leaves and throwing flowers, with Ming Acacia".
But firstly, Meng Nanjun didn't like this kind of woman with rich fat powder, and secondly, she was not a man at all, so she had to bow her head slightly to apologize, and then turn her head and leave without saying a word.
Lishu was still watching the excitement by Meng Nanjun's side, and when she saw her decisiveness, she didn't react for a while, and it was this slightly stunned time that made her see the change in the woman's face from sunny to cloudy in an instant.
"That person is not a good person at first glance, so the young master is not afraid of losing her face and provoking her to retaliate?" Lishu was a little worried when she said this, after all, although she had heard that the Meng family had been prosperous for many years, since she could remember, she had seen the decline of the Meng family, and she was really worried that Meng Nanjun would provoke someone who should not be provoked.
Meng Nanjun knew that she was worried, but she only waved her hand and explained to her softly: "It's not like you haven't seen what I was like when I was wearing women's clothes, it's a world of difference from now, if she can really see that I am a member of the Meng family because of this side, then I will definitely marry her." ”
Lishu rolled his eyes when he heard this, thinking that you just lost face, if you are found to be a woman disguised as a man again, I'm afraid that person even has the heart to kill you, and can still let you marry home?
Let's talk about the two women...... Although the Daqi folk style is open, it has not yet opened to that extent.
The further you walk along the waterfront, the more people there are, Meng Nanjun is empty-handed, but the umbrella in Lishu's hand is overflowing with peach blossoms all the way, all of which are given by the nostalgic girl who fell in love with her along the road.
Thinking of this, Lishu said sourly: "Sure enough, there is a difference between the master and the subordinate, the small one has received flowers all the way, but none of them are not for the young master." ”
Lishu is only a double seven years old, not yet full of age, not only petite and lovely, but a round face slightly bulging when angry, and even more cute and tight. Daqi women prefer long figures, and the strong ones are still ignored, how can any woman look at her who is more feminine than herself?
However, Meng Nanjun didn't say it explicitly, so he only looked at her with meaningful eyes, and almost jumped to her feet.
"I'll tell Madame when I get back." Wuzi muttered, Li Shu walked to the side angrily with an umbrella, Meng Nanjun originally wanted to laugh at her, but suddenly heard a commotion.
"Get out of the way!"
As soon as the shout fell, the horse's hooves approached quickly, and before Meng Nanjun could see what was happening at the source of the sound, he saw a black shadow disappearing.
And with a strong ghostly aura.
