Lifu Plum Garden, there are many kinds, red plum, green plum, beauty plum, elm leaf plum, Zhaoshui plum, green calyx plum, jade butterfly plum, sprinkle golden plum, etc., whenever the flowers bloom, the fragrance floats ten miles. Half of Qingfeng Castle can smell the fragrance of plum blossoms. The rockery fountain in the garden, the balcony hall is not the same, it is really a good place to taste wine and drink tea and listen to music, although it is close to the middle of winter, the climate of Qingyuan County is still hot, there are few plum blossoms in the garden, all say that the plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold, I am afraid that the plum blossoms in the garden are waiting for the cold wind from the snowfield in the far north.

Hu Chen was arranged by the Li family in this plum garden, which was also the garden where Li Yu was before he left the pavilion.

Hu Chen was reluctant to part with Li Yu at first, both of them lived in the plum garden, and each had someone to take care of his daily life. Li Yu, as the daughter of the head of the family, has not returned home for more than ten years, although Li Yu does not want to get involved in too many family affairs, but she wants to wrestle with Li Jinheng, who is the head of the family, without the support of the family, even if Li Yu is in the martial arts realm, it is difficult to compete with Li Jinheng, who is the head of the Li family.

Li Yu intends to take over the family affairs, and Li Jinheng is of course willing. It's just that the plum garden is in the northeast direction of the Li Mansion, and Li Yu needs to go around most of the plum garden every time he goes to the ancestral hall to discuss matters, which is extremely inconvenient, so he asked his subordinates to clean up the bamboo garden separated by a wall, so that Li Yu is separated from Hu Chen. Hu Chen has made noise several times for this, and several times he wanted to go out of the park to find Li Yu was blocked, and once he was in a hurry, and he bit the maid who stopped the person and did not let go, and the maid was bitten and almost had to do it, if Li Yu did not appear in time, Hu Chen would have been beaten if he couldn't say it.

On this day, the sun is just right, Hu Chen is really bored, the plum garden has been turned around, there is no new business to make Hu Chen care, tired of playing and found a rockery to climb up to sleep, the warm winter sun through the treetops, after a while I fell asleep.

Hu Chen vaguely heard the sound of talking, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't want to get up.

"Xiaoqing, where are you going?" A crisp shout sounded, and a maid in plain clothes and holding a food box in her hand was stopped.

The maid named Xiaoqing turned her head and saw that it was Xiaomei, the maid of the Plum Garden, so she stopped and responded: "It's Xiaomei, I'm going to send some of her favorite snacks to the eldest lady, isn't there no fire in the bamboo garden, so I made some small snacks that the lady usually likes to eat here in the plum garden, I see that the young lady is sometimes so busy that she can't even eat, so don't you just send it to her while it's hot." What are you doing here? Are you lazy again, be careful that Master Li finds out that he has caught you and beat you on the board, and I won't intercede for you then. ”

Xiaomei put her arms around Xiaoqing's arm and said with a grin: "Good Xiaoqing, you are so ruthless." Our group of people is your most ingenious, let me see what you have made, let me taste it first. So he reached for the lid of the food box.

Xiaoqing slapped Xiaomei's outstretched hand, and said with a slight annoyance: "You dead girl, you know how to be gluttonous in one day, be careful that no one wants to eat fat." By the way, you didn't serve that little master, how could you be lazy? He bit you so hard that day, you are so lazy and careful that he bites you again. ”

When Xiaomei heard Xiaoqing mention the events of that day, she was angry, and said with a pout: "I don't know where he went crazy, it's good that he can't find it when he runs out of the Li Mansion, so I'm too lazy to serve him." Besides, he's not really a young master. Eh, Xiaoqing, have you heard? On the day Miss returned home, she almost took the initiative with her family for him, and killed Sister Feiwen, according to me, he is a broom star, Miss is really, he is not his own child and still protects him so much, the last time he bit me, if Miss hadn't appeared in time, see that I didn't tear his mouth, it was not the young master's life and wanted to play the young master's temper, and I didn't see where it was?"

Xiaoqing hurriedly covered Xiaomei's mouth, lowered her voice and said: "You dead girl, looking for death, dare to say anything, don't be afraid that the wall has ears, if it reaches the ears of the old lady, your life will not be guaranteed, forget about this kind of thing, don't spread it everywhere." ”

Xiaoqing continued: "Have you heard? Young Master Tingyi is about to return home, and I will make him his favorite rock sugar lotus seed soup and apricot cakes at that time." Xiaoqing raised her face slightly, looking longing.

Xiaomei glanced at Xiaoqing and teased: "You little girl, your heart is moved? How long have you not seen Young Master Tingyi? He may not like to eat what you make for a long time, what is there in the capital? There are more delicious things, can you still remember your apricot cakes? Besides, Young Master Tingyi will be the head of the family in the future, and he is studying in the school palace, I don't know how many young ladies in the world are staring, where is your turn, wake up quickly." ”

Xiaoqing poked Xiaomei and snorted angrily: "Hmph, I won't tell you, I will say cool things one day, I'll leave." ”

"Oh, good Xiaoqing, don't go, as long as you let me taste the snacks in the box, I will create an opportunity for you when the young master returns, what do you think, do you agree? Xiaomei reached out to tickle Xiaoqing's itch, Xiaoqing's face turned red and nodded slightly, and the frolicking and fighting of the two gradually faded away.

Hu Chen poked his head out of the rockery and watched the two little maids float away like flowers and butterflies. And the words of the two maidservants were like losing a rockery in Hu Chen's heart lake, the waves were surging, Hu Chen buried his head deeply, he didn't want tears to come out of his eyes like this. Hu Chen always remembered that day, during this time he hid all his emotions in his heart, and he seemed to be playing heartlessly every day, but he didn't expect that the words of the two little maids at this moment made him collapse instantly, he was just lying to himself.

Hu Chen only felt that there was no one in this world who was close to him, and Li Yu's unintentional estrangement during this period of time deepened Hu Chen's suspicions, and the reason why he bit the little maid was nothing more than to attract Li Yu's attention. Tears swirled in Hu Chen's eyes, Hu Chen suddenly felt that the warm sunlight had become dazzling, and the sound of insects was particularly clear at this moment, Hu Chen hugged his arm helplessly, and a hot teardrop finally slipped down silently.

Hu Chen didn't know how to get back to his residence, locked the door, covered his head and slept, and didn't eat dinner, no matter how the maid Xiaomei screamed, she didn't open the door.

Li Yu let people knock open the door of Hu Chen's room, Hu Chen slept in a daze, with undried tears on his little face, and when he poked his forehead, he burned badly. Li Yu couldn't help but be annoyed: "Xiaomei! You said that Chen'er didn't go out and didn't eat yesterday, why did you come to report it now? He is sick, how did you serve?"

Li Yu, who Xiaomei saw, got angry, knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss, Young Master Chen has often played crazy in Meiyuan since you moved to Zhuyuan, and the little maid can't keep up with him at any time, he didn't know where to play last night, and he returned at night, I sent food to eat, Young Master Chen didn't open the door, I thought that the young master was tired of playing and didn't bother anymore when he fell asleep." Who knew that Young Master Chen had not opened the door at noon today, so I came to tell the young lady and asked the eldest lady to take a look. ”

Hu Chen said in a daze: "Mother, Chen'er will never be naughty in the future, please don't leave me, mother!"

Li Yu held Hu Chen's hand and softly coaxed Hu Chen to sleep, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. Although Hu Chen is not his own, his feelings over the years cannot be faked. Li Yu was thinking in her heart about choosing a suitable time to explain to Hu Chen that if Hu Chen was willing, Li Yu believed that Li Tingyi would also be willing to have another brother, and she would treat Hu Chen as her own child. If Hu Chen was unwilling, she would do her best to find Hu Chen's biological parents, but unfortunately Li Feiwen did not say where she changed the child before she died, so she could only have the opportunity to investigate and visit secretly later.

Li Yu studied under Mo Lian, his own medical skills are also excellent, he looked at Hu Chen carefully, it should be caused by mental fatigue and cold, and prescribed a prescription for the maid Xiaomei to catch the torment so that Hu Chen can be cured soon after taking it.

Li Yu has just taken over some family affairs, Li Jinheng's birthday is approaching, and Ting Yi is about to return home from the school palace, Li Yu is busy and can't stay for a long time, so he told Xiaomei Haosheng to take care of Hu Chen and left.

Hu Chen's illness is cured, but the injury in his heart is getting more and more serious, he has not seen Li Yu for many days, a few days ago Li Yu asked people to send some pastries over, but no one arrived, Hu Chen was very sad, his mother seemed to be hiding from himself, even Xiaomei, who had raised eyebrows and eyes at him, began to be very polite to himself, and a sense of alienation quietly breeded.

Under the eaves of the plum garden was a newly caught flower finch that he had recently caught, which was his playmate when he was lonely. The finch was extremely uncooperative at the beginning, not only did not eat the food fed by Hu Chen, but also often flapped its wings and wanted to fly out, but was trapped by the cage and could not spread its wings.

Hu Chen often looked at the flower finch quietly and talked to the flower finch, he didn't want to become like the flower finch, he wanted to escape from this cage-like garden.

Hu Chen was bored throwing pebbles by the small lake, and the busy people ignored him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to them. These days, he wandered around in Li's mansion, and occasionally met Li Yu hurrying by with a group of people, he wanted to shout but his throat was dry for a moment and he didn't know what to shout Li Yu, so he quietly let go and hide aside, witnessing Li Yu's figure gradually moving away, Hu Chen finally made up his mind that he wanted to leave here.

Li Mansion covers a large area, the guard is strict, only a corner of the south may escape, here is not only secluded, inaccessible, there is a big tree that needs several people to hug together, climb the big tree and jump down from the branch is the street, Hu Chen only takes advantage of the unpreparedness, quietly escapes there, and then climbs over the wall, he can successfully escape.

Li Jinheng's birthday is coming, the Li Mansion has long been full of lights, lively and extraordinary, outside the gate is a busy traffic, the river is endless, as one of the five major families, the scale of the birthday of the head of the Li family can be imagined, even His Majesty the Emperor today has a message to congratulate. The subordinates of the entire Li Mansion were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and together with Xiaomei Xiaoqing and others, they were all transferred to the front yard to entertain guests.

Hu Chen had already climbed over the wall, and went around to the gate of the Li Mansion and watched from a distance, and there were people coming and going at the gate of the Li Mansion. Hu Chen pursed his lips and looked gloomily at the welcome in front of the Li Mansion, not knowing what he wanted to see, or what he was expecting.

"Boy, look at what, what's so good about this kind of wealthy family, even if you look at the flowers, it's not as good as a meal of roast chicken, don't you say?" Suddenly, someone slapped Hu Chen's shoulder hard, almost slapping Hu Chen.

Hu Chen turned his head to look, the person who came was smiling, holding a piece of chicken leg in one hand and gnawing on it, and the other hand holding a roast chicken with a missing leg and still dripping oil, his face was quite delicate, but his hair was unkempt, he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said to Hu Chen with a mouthful of big white teeth.

Hu Chen rubbed his shoulders and asked with a confused expression: "Who are you, what are you doing with me?"

I saw that the people who came to gnaw off the chicken legs in two bites, reached out and wiped the already greasy short back on the body, leaned two steps closer to each other, hugged Hu Chen's shoulders and looked at Li Fu and said with a smile: "You are Hu Chen, Li Fu escaped just now?" Don't be afraid, little brother, my name is Zhang Sanfeng, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come with me." ”

Hu Chen wanted to break Zhang Sanfeng's greasy hand, tried twice without success, and said helplessly: "Can you let me go first, I'm not familiar with you, why are you waiting for me?"

A grunt sounded suddenly, Hu Chen covered his cooing stomach and was slightly embarrassed, Zhang Sanfeng laughed and said: "The world is big and you don't have to be hungry, you have been watching it for a long time, if the person you want to wait for will appear a long time ago, let's go, big brother will take you to eat delicious food." ”

Hu Chen was gloomy and glanced at Zhang Sanfeng seriously, Zhang Sanfeng smiled and picked up half of the roast chicken in his hand and shook it, Hu Chen nodded.

The word fate is wonderful, good and evil are fate, and the fate between some people only needs to be seen.
