In the year of Hong Xiao 105, early autumn.

On a sheep intestine trail outside Qingshan County, a little girl about 12 years old combed her head with a ball, but there was nothing to embellish. He was wearing a blue coarse cloth coat. A round face with big eyes.

When you think about it, a pair of shallow dimples will be very cute. It's just that now this face is full of panic.

I saw her holding a woman in a soft spun lilac dress. A little girl about 1.5 meters tall. There is a popular double bun on his head, and a small silver pendant is pinned to the left and right, which also sways from side to side as the owner runs quickly.

A fair-skinned and slightly childish melon seed face, two thin lip flaps. Under the thick brow are a pair of large, dark eyes. If you look closely, you can see that there is a clear and deep lake in those dark eyes. When you look at it, you don't know how to sink it.

Behind the two of them was a big black dog spreading its four legs and chasing after them.

The younger girl looked helpless, but there was no panic. She wanted to stop, but because of her young age, she didn't have much strength, so she had to be pulled by the old maid to run.

A stumbling, the little girl really can't do it. Panting and shouting: "Jinmo, don't run."

But the maid couldn't stop, and said in a very eager voice: "Miss, no, that dog is about to catch up with us, and if it is bitten, it will kill you, you hold on." If it gets tired after running for a while, it may stop chasing. ”

The little girl couldn't convince Jin Mo, so she had to take out an oiled paper from her arms while running and throw it at the big black dog behind.

When the big black dog saw the oil bag thrown on the ground, he sniffed it, shook his hairy tail very happily, and lowered his head to eat.

"Jin Mo, the dog is not chasing, look at it." The little girl gasped and shouted again.

When Jin Mo heard this, she stopped suddenly. I almost collided with the little girl. Fortunately, the little girl was prepared and avoided her.

Jin Mo was pleasantly surprised: "Hey, miss, it's hungry." I'll just say why it's chasing us. It turned out that I smelled the small meat bun made by Sister Jinmei.

Oh, miss, you gave it lunch, so what should you do when you're hungry? Why don't we go back early today, anyway, we have collected a lot of them today. ”

Liu Suqi is still a little uncomfortable, after all, the original owner's physical fitness is average. She held her waist and gasped, "Okay, go back first." And the next time you see a dog, don't run, the more you run, the more it chases. ”

When Jin Mo heard this, she was also out of breath and said: "Hmph, miss, we won't pass by there next time, and when I see it, it's the wild dogs around the small ruined temple, which scared me to death." ”

"Don't be afraid, bring something to eat next time, let it borrow it."

Jin Mo pouted and didn't speak again.

Liu Su smiled and said, "Let's go, it's time to worry about the family." ”

"Miss, you've changed. I can't say that there has changed, but I feel that Miss has become smarter. ”

Liu Su stretched out his left hand, flicked it at Jin Mo's nose, and said with a smile: "If you die once, of course you have to be smarter." ”

That gentle smile seemed to bring a smile to his eyes. made Liu Suben's only delicate face instantly make people unable to take their eyes off.

Jin Mo looked fascinated and muttered, "Miss, you have not only become smarter, but also more beautiful." Especially the eyes, they are so beautiful! ”

Liu Su smiled, lowered his head slightly, and did not speak again. She knew that because she was reborn, this little girl, who was originally not brilliant, had a pair of eyes that people would never forget.

It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, and Liu Su doesn't know why only his own eyes follow through. Usually she is still very attentive in front of familiar people.

Jin Mo saw that Miss didn't say anything more, and then followed Liu Su's back.

It could be just around noon. The sun is still quite strong at noon in early autumn, and the trail is very quiet. Two and a half adults, walking fast.

Suddenly, Liu Su stopped.

"Wait." Liu Su walked to the edge of the path, squatted down, and gently stroked the yellow wild chrysanthemum that grew very luxuriantly. The large yellow is very conspicuous, which makes the spirits of those who look at it shock. When I got closer, it was even more chrysanthemum.

Liu Suxiao's face was a little surprised, and then some worry appeared on his face.

Jin Mo saw that Liu Su's face was wrong, walked over and squatted down and asked, "Miss, what's the matter, are you going to dig this wild chrysanthemum and go home, I remember that you planted a white wild chrysanthemum a few days ago." There is nothing unusual about this wild chrysanthemum, and the color is different. ”

"It's okay, I just like it. Chrysanthemum disperses wind and clears heat, calms the liver and brightens eyes, clears heat and detoxifies. It is suitable for making tea and drinking, and it is good to have a variety of kinds. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Jin Mo.

Jin Mo cooperated tacitly and handed the small shovel to Liu Su. At first glance, he is a person who often gives Liu Su a hand. Liu Su took the small shovel and carefully dug a branch on the root system of this bush of wild chrysanthemums, and carefully put it into the bamboo basket on Jin Mo's back. Then he took the handkerchief handed over by Jin Mo and wiped his hands clean. Put the handkerchief over the mouth of the bamboo basket.

Liu Su pulled Jin Mo over, and his steps quickened slightly: "Let's go." ”

Jin Mo followed Liu Su's footsteps: "Miss, you have a big harvest today." If it weren't for that wild dog, you'd be digging for more wildflowers.

But miss, why have you been collecting and planting all kinds of flowers and plants since your last illness?

"It's okay, it's okay," Liu Su said in a somewhat absent-minded tone.

"Then Miss go home and let me help Young Master Yi, it's too hard for you to be alone."

Liu Su smiled on his face, and said without stopping, "You have always helped." ”

"Miss, then, can you call for help. I'll hand you a shovel and move an empty flower pot. Mrs. has said that you have been a few times, and she will not let you touch these flowers and plants, and I hope you can take some time to learn from female red. ”

Then Jin Mo said with a bitter face: "And this time we secretly ran out, and when we went home, the slave and maid will be punished by Mrs. again."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Liu Su quickened his pace again.

In ancient times, there was no special market for plants and flowers. This left Liu Su to collect all kinds of wild plants. The flowers and plants in the general precious places are limited to the exchange of gifts and exchanges between the rich and noble. Or be familiar with the small range of buying and selling between florists.

After Liu Su came here, it took more than two months to adapt to the living environment of this little girl with the same name and surname as herself, and then she began to plan her own life.

But because the original father was a gardener, he learned by chance that he had special powers.

Because of this ability, Liu Su began a journey to collect plants everywhere in ancient times.

Recalling that the wild chrysanthemum just now told her: About an hour ago, two people passed by, saying that they were looking for the best florist in Qingshan Town, and lamented that it was really troublesome for the nobleman to repair a garden. If you are not satisfied, you will not only have no salary, but you will also be beaten. Although the re-action is intermittent, it is not difficult to understand the meaning.

Liu Su took Jin Mo into the gate of Qingshan County at the end of noon.

Both of them were empty, and hurried through the downtown streets, towards the alley to the east, out of the alley, and after a few more turns, into an even quieter alley. On the left side of the alley there are several houses in the form of blue-tiled courtyards. One of them was covered with moss in front of the door, and the wooden door that had not been opened for a long time was even more deeply cracked.

Next to it, there is a red lantern hanging in the old color at the door of the house, and a small plaque in ordinary ink is hung on the door, on which the words "Liu Jiang" are written in block letters.

When Liu Su and the two arrived at the door, a handsome woman about 35 years old was standing at the door. She was slightly chubby, but her face was eager but supple. Dressed in a semi-new rose-red lace dress, embroidered with a few half-open pear blossoms on the skirt, and holding a two-year-old child in his hand, his eyes looked at the mouth of the alley from time to time.

"Mother, I'm back." Liu Su hurriedly walked to the door in a few steps, squatted down and saluted. Jin Mo also saluted.

"Why did you come back and where did you go? Hungry or not? Chen Jingwen took her daughter's hand with one hand and asked hurriedly.

"Hungry" Liu Su was a little unaccustomed to being held by someone, but he couldn't bear to pull his hand back.

As soon as he heard that his daughter was hungry, Chen's anxious and reproachful face immediately became distressed. Pulling his daughter inside, his tone was urging: "Hurry up and eat, and we'll talk about it after eating." ”

After entering the door, he looked in the direction of the kitchen and called, "Jinmei, bring the hot meal to the hall."

Liu Su was pulled into the door. As soon as you enter the door, there is a small courtyard, and there is a big locust tree planted in the courtyard, and there is a stone table under the tree, and there are some stone benches around it.

It's a joy to watch. Because of Liu Su's contributions, a row of wooden shelves is now placed next to the wall of the courtyard, on which are placed more than ten pots of various plants collected by Liu Su.

The door is diagonally opposite a main house, which is used by the Liu family for eating and meeting guests.

A simple hand-copied verandah on the left side of the main house is the house of Liu's father and Chen's family, and a hand-copied verandah on the right is Liu Su's boudoir.

There is an ear room at the right oblique corner of the boudoir, which is used for two maids to live. To the back of the bedroom on the left is the kitchen. There is also a small room next to it, which is where the house keeps its miscellaneous items.

There is also a small vegetable garden behind the house, but there is no vegetable growing in it, and it is full of father's beloved things.

At this moment, a young girl of about fifteen years old poked her head out of the kitchen and responded, "Yes, ma'am, the meal will come soon." "The sound is very crisp. It was a typical conical face, although it was only wearing the same blue coarse cloth clothes as Jinmo. But with those soft and slightly innocent eyes, it is very beautiful.

Chen put Liu Wu down and let him play by himself. said to Jin Mo who followed up: "Jin Mo, you pack up Miss's things and go down to eat first."

Suddenly, he said: "Wait to settle accounts with you, dare to run away with Miss." ”

"Madam, the slave doesn't dare" After speaking, Jin Mo hurriedly gave a salute and ran out.
