Chapter Twenty-Six: The Old Way

In the spring of March, the wind is blowing, under the Zixia Mountain, the Guanshan cherry blossoms are in full bloom, looking at it from afar, it is like clouds.

The eldest son of the Lu family lived in Hongji Temple for three days before going down the mountain with his mother.

When I met the cherry blossom forest on the road, I smelled the fragrance, and suddenly I was a little interested, so I asked the maid to get out of the car and pick a bouquet of fragrant flowers to see.

When his mother Zheng heard that her son had sent someone to pick flowers, she was overjoyed at the moment, and she cried with joy when she grabbed her confidant's hand.

"Mom, did you hear, Ming'er asked someone to pick flowers to show him, poor my son, one day, there will be leisure and leisure to enjoy the flowers."

"It's a good thing that the eldest young master has such a Yaxing, you should be happy, madam." Mother Jiang held Zheng's hand and persuaded with tears.

"I know, I'm so happy!" Zheng said and laughed with tears in his eyes.

Then, he wiped the tears on his eyelashes, and said to Jiang's mother: "Mom, tell them quickly, Ming'er likes to see that flower, and ask them to dig one directly and bring it back to the house, and plant it in Ming'er's Jianshan Tower, so that Ming'er can see it every day." ”

"Well, the slave and maid will tell them to do it."

Mother Jiang responded happily, and then called the guards in front of her and told them to dig a cherry blossom tree.

The guards hesitated for a moment when they heard this, and did not immediately obey the order.

Mother Jiang's face immediately sank when she saw this, and said in a low voice: "You also know the temper of the county monarch, the old lady usually lets our county monarch three points, it is rare that she is happy today, and the young master is interested, what is wrong with digging a cherry blossom tree, is it worth your hesitation?" Back then, this cherry blossom forest was planted by the Lu family, but now that it has grown, can't even dig one back! ”

After hearing Mother Jiang's words, the guards dared to hesitate, and hurriedly turned around and dug trees.

Lu Ming couldn't help but wonder when he saw that the maid came back from picking flowers, but the carriage didn't leave for a long time, so he asked, "Wanyun, why haven't you left?" ”

Wan Yun hurriedly replied: "It was the jun who ordered the young master to dig a cherry blossom tree and go back, and plant it in the yard so that the young master can see it every day." ”

When Lu Ming heard this, his brows furrowed, and he didn't say anything, just lifted the curtain and looked out.

It happened that a gust of mountain wind blew, mixed with a bit of cold, Lu Ming couldn't stand it, and coughed lightly again.

Wan Yun was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered the curtain and dragged the fox fur to Lu Ming up.

"Young master, be careful, you are just a little better, the master has explained, but you can't stand the slightest bit of cold."

Lu Ming covered his mouth with his fist, coughed gently, and didn't refute Wanyun's words, but his brows furrowed deeper.

After a while, the trees were dug up, and the carriage began to move slowly again.

Lu Ming looked at the pink and white cherry blossoms that were inserted in a white porcelain vase by Wanyun, and a trace of disgust suddenly crossed his heart, so he turned his head and stopped looking......

An hour later, Lu Ming and Zheng returned to the Protector's Mansion.

Before Lu Ming could get out of the carriage, the tightly wrapped soft sedan had already been carried to his carriage.

Lu Ming was wrapped in a big sedan and helped out of the carriage by the maid, and he didn't even see the shadow wall in front of the mansion clearly, so he was helped into the soft sedan chair and hurriedly carried back to the mountain building.

Zheng went to greet the old lady, but he didn't stay long, and after talking for a while, he withdrew.

After leaving Rongxi Hall, Zheng hurriedly returned to his Qixia Garden, and then ordered Jiang's mother to find a small box, and only took Jiang's mother and Fangcui with her, and went out again.

The old lady Wei and the Duchess Lin heard that the Zheng family had gone out in a hurry again, and they were a little strange.

However, because the Zheng family has often gone out in such a hurry over the years, the two of them are used to it, and they just thought that she was still for Lu Ming's body, so they didn't pay attention to it.

Zheng took Jiang's mother and Fangcui and went straight to Beihua Street.

When they arrived at Beihua Street, the three masters and servants got out of the carriage, and then entered a narrow alley with familiar knowledge.

At the end of this narrow alley, there is a family with a different decoration on the doorway beam.

In the middle of its beam, there is a gossip mirror, hanging in the hollow, facing the alley.

Mother Jiang stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

After a short time, a little boy came to open the courtyard gate, and when he saw that it was their master and servant, he hurriedly invited them in.

The master and servant of the Zheng clan stayed inside for half an hour before they came out.

When Zheng came out, his face was full of joy, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were full of joy that he couldn't hide.

The Taoist priest was wearing a navy blue robe, with a long gray beard, slightly sunken cheeks, bulging eyes, a fierce and vicious look, but his mouth was full of compassion, and his tongue was full of lotus flowers, which made Zheng's heart bloom.

"Heavenly Master, please stay, whatever the believer asks for, she will rely on the Heavenly Master's help." Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Zheng stopped, bowed to the Taoist priest, and said politely.

The Taoist priest smiled, "Madam is polite, don't worry, when the poor Dao opens the altar tonight, he will definitely make a good eight characters for the son and the girl." ”

Zheng Shi's face was even more happy when he heard this, and after bowing reverently, he turned around and left with Jiang's mother and Fangcui.

After the master and servant of the Zheng family walked away, the little boy who received the person looked at the Taoist priest in confusion.

"Master, didn't you say that no one can match the eight characters of the son of the Lu family? Then why did you promise the lady that she would make a good match with the girl for her son-in-law? ”

The Taoist priest's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he looked around and saw that there was no one else, so he knocked the little apprentice's head hard.

"Ignorant child, Hugh is talking nonsense!"

"Oh." The child was beaten for no reason, rubbed the top of his head aggrievedly, and responded coyly.

"Close the door!" The Taoist priest glanced at the apprentice again, left these words, and threw his sleeves back.

The little boy carried the Taoist priest on his back, secretly pursed his mouth and muttered a few words, before closing the courtyard door.

After the courtyard door was closed, the quiet in the narrow alley returned.

After a while, there was a gust of wind, whistling by, startling the dog in the yard next to him, barking a few times, and after being scolded by the owner, he whimpered and fell back into the nest.

In less than half an hour, Zheng's mother from Yusheng Ju in Yongning Houfu was sent by her lord An Sheng to buy Hu cakes in the West Market.

Hearing that both Xuetang and Songhetang received the news almost at the same time, and then, at the same time, they sent people to secretly follow Zheng's mother to the West Market.

Because she came once and had An Sheng's advice, Zheng's mother was much calmer this time than yesterday, and she was not in a hurry along the way, and after entering the West Market, she went straight to the Hujia Cake Shop.

The Hu family cake shop does not buy and sell at night, and after Zheng's mother went in, she begged for a long time before the shopkeeper agreed to divide half of the Hu cakes that he kept to eat and sold them to her.

Zheng's mother took the hard-won Hu Biscuit and walked back excitedly.

Who knows how far he has not yet walked, he was knocked down by two people who suddenly rushed out.
