Chapter 17 Rockery

Qi didn't say anything about it, but he didn't let Xiao Dong show up, he really wanted to see it, and it was okay to take a look through the screen.

Zhao Lu took Xiao Dong's hand and went forward, and whispered: "Mother Qi is lenient with you, and she treats me to me, and she won't let go of any mistakes or omissions." ”

Xiao Dong pursed his lips and smiled.

The more severe the Qi family, the more responsible Zhao Lu is. This Mother Qi must have taken "loving mothers and many defeated children" as her motto, and severely cracked down on Zhao Lu's little laziness and little problems, and never tolerated them. Zhao Lu will be the person who will be the king of the county in the future, and the Qi family naturally hopes that he will be strict and orderly and become a talent as soon as possible. As for herself, she is a girl, to put it mildly, she will not be a member of the palace as soon as she marries in the future, and the Qi family will naturally be open to herself.

"Sister, you just stand here, you see, look out, it's clear outside, you can't see you outside."

Zhao Lu settled her down, and then ordered someone to invite the two sons of the Luo family in.

Xiaodong stood in a good position, in front of her nose was a huge screen, the yarn was of high quality, and the mountains and rivers were embroidered on it, she stood behind the screen, and it was clear to see the outside, but Zhao Lu said that she couldn't see the inside outside - of course, there was a reason why the outside was bright and the inside was dark, but maybe there was something mysterious about this screen.

Far away, Xiaodong heard the sound of footsteps, no one in the palace walked like this, even the little girl knew that she was not shocked, and she knew what it meant to be quiet and recuperate. The footsteps were so loud and mixed that they sounded like a bisonβ€”

Then suddenly it darkened.

That's right, it's a dark.

The two of them had already stood at the door, and the sunlight was shining on the bricks under the doorway, and a bright light was blocked.

It's like the door has suddenly closed.

Xiao Dong couldn't help but laugh, just thinking, worthy of being a general.

And the two brothers are really the same, advancing and retreating together, it is conceivable that if there is a fight, it will be side by side. Well, it's really a brother who can't leave the tiger.

The two of them had so loud voices that they clasped their fists together and said, "I've seen the world!" ”

Oh, Xiao Dong only felt that his ears were buzzing, and he knew that these two were coming to pay respects, but he didn't know that he thought they were here to seek revenge.

Although Zhao Lu is not very old, he is the prince of the king, and the etiquette of treating people and things is a compulsory course, and he said with a smile: "You two don't need to be polite, please sit down." Why do you have time to find me today? ”

The Luo brothers sat down on the side, the eldest pushed the second, the second pushed the eldest, and Luo Xiao, who was still the elder brother at the end, said: "It's rare that the weather is good today, and the prince didn't go out for a walk?" ”

This greeting was dry and hard, not like an invitation but like a question, Zhao Lu didn't speak yet, Xiao Dong covered her mouth first, she couldn't help laughing, afraid that she would laugh out loud.

Everything seen through the screen becomes soft and blurry, like an old movie. The sun shone obliquely on the corner of the screen, the brocade line on it shone, and the gauze screen became more transparent, almost like a glass of glass.

Xiao Dong was in a trance.

…… For so many days, she hasn't felt too real. In this era, this place, she has always felt like an outsider.

Like everything she saw through the screen now.

It seems to be able to reach out and touch it, but there is always a layer in between.

Red Aya tugged at her, Xiao Dong didn't look any further, and followed her out from behind.

Hong Aya was a little strange, looking at the county lord and smiling just now, but after coming out, she was in a bad mood, her head hung down, and she was listless when she walked.

Hong Aya couldn't figure out what was going on in Xiao Dong's mind, she just thought, why is the county lord unhappy? Could it be that the prince went to accompany the guest, and she was single, so she was in a bad mood?

Hong Aya led her to say, "County Lord, let's go play with Miss Shen?" ”

Xiao Dong was dispensable and nodded. Hong Aya took her by the hand and went to find Shen Fang and Shen Qiang. The other maids followed, holding the bits and pieces of the cloak and hand-stove snack box.

On the way, they met Mrs. Ming, who came from the other side of the cloister with a few maids. The weather was warm, and Mrs. Ming wore a magenta skirt, which seemed to be about to burn in the sun.

It's really a narrow road.

People on both sides froze for a moment, then greeted each other stiffly.

Mrs. Ming smiled, greeted Xiao Dong, and said, "Do you want to go to my place to sit?" The head concubine in the palace rewarded the new tea ......"

Xiao Dong blinked, turned his head and ran away.

Hongyan and the others hurriedly chased after them, and threw Mrs. Ming, who was halfway through the conversation, in place.

"County Lord, don't run, be careful of falling."

Red Aya was out of breath after her. The little winter man is short, but he is really not slow to run.

"County Lord, County Lord."

Xiao Dong's feet were stunned, and she quickly turned a corner and got into the rockery cave.

The red silk chasing behind them didn't pay attention, and still chased forward along the gravel road.

Xiao Dong couldn't say why, probably because the feeling behind the screen just now made her feel uncomfortable.

and Zhao Lu, and the others, seemed to be in two worlds, they were all on the other side of the screen, and she was the only one standing in the darkness where the sun could not shine.

It could also be that Mrs. Ming's gaze and tone made her uncomfortable.

Not everyone in this palace has good intentions towards her.

Xiao Dong sat down sullenly on a rock.

The sunlight shone in through the gap in the stone overhead, and Xiao Dong looked at the stone he was sitting on.

Even if there is a sun, just such a line, it is impossible to illuminate the whole stone so warmly, right?

And it's not like the temperature of a sun-lit stone β€” well, it's like someone once sat here, and it was the body temperature that ironed the stone.

Xiao Dong turned his head to look, yes, it was very clean, there was no dust, and there was no smell.

The rockery overhead is not so impermeable, the sunlight shines through the pores, the stone cave is not so dark, and the scattered spots of light in the ground are like golden mice, which look as if they will jump up and escape at any time.

The cave was not deep, and there was a young man standing there, and the fine golden sunlight seemed to sprinkle countless gold dust on his ordinary clothes, making him like every girl's deep dreamer, handsome and extraordinary, shining brightly.

"Brother Jing?"

Xiao Dong was trembling by thunder and wanted to spit on himself.

What is this name, no, I have to think of a suitable name to replace this, otherwise I will tremble once I shout.

What is this man cat doing here?

"It's quiet here, I'll read a book here for a while."

Well, it's pretty quiet here.

Xiao Dong looked at a few books on the stone on the side, some were thin and some were thick, they were all old books, but the owner must have cherished them very much, and the books were not broken at all.

Xiao Dong took a step closer, but Shen Jing moved a step to the side without a trace, and asked softly, "Why did the county lord come here?" ”

Hey? Why are you still blocking her from seeing?

It is said that she is just a child who has just begun to read and write, and even if Shen Jing shows her the book, she may not be able to understand it.

He did this because of his weak heart.

If you read the books of the sages, do you still need to be empty-minded?

Xiao Dong tugged at his sleeve and said in a milky voice, "Brother Jing, hug." ”

Shen Jing's expression at this moment was like choking on an egg in her throat.

Xiao Dong has always been well-behaved, but he is not close to people at will. And when Shen Jing was in the Shen family, she rarely had time to play with her young cousins - holding a child, well, it shouldn't be difficult.
