Chapter 8 Jinyuan Peony

Liao Qi nodded, "Your Majesty is the prince, and sooner or later he will be made the crown prince." ”

"However, the ministers led by Yang Xiang still want to stop ......"

Liao Qi sighed and said, "Block? It's always in vain. ”

The middle-aged man's face was sluggish when he heard this, and he took a drink from the wine glass, "It's not the right time, it's not the right time!" ”

"Zizheng ......"

The middle-aged man suddenly felt pantothenic acid in his eyes, and no one had called him "Zizheng" for a long time.

For so many years, he has been a servant in the field, and "Du Zizheng" has been dead for a long time.

Liao Qi didn't know the sorrow that surged in his heart for a moment, and called again: "Zizheng!" Sometimes, I really regret that I didn't have the courage to follow His Highness back then. If we go, we will save a lot of trouble. ”

"Are you just starting to envy Ting Xian now? I've been envious of him for years. After a pause, he said: "It's not easy to die, but it's even harder to live." ”

The two shook their heads and sighed, and at the same time looked at the empty seat beside them, the cups were complete, and the deceased had passed away.

Missionary Institute, Hibiscus Garden.

Yushu stared straight at the hibiscus not far away, blooming hibiscus, sighed and sighed, the brush dipped and dipped on the porcelain plate, after all, I still didn't know how to put the pen.

The word "soul" spoken by the old monk often echoes in Yushu's ears.

When she was willing to be Xie Yushu quietly and not delve into the past, these two words provoked the unwillingness in her heart again. She kept telling herself that she was Xie Yushu now, and she would be Xie Yushu all her life. Besides, there are some things that don't necessarily have to be clearly understood.

Yushu sighed, but is it really good to live in vain?

"Xie Yushu, you will hide quietly, and you won't say a word when you come to Jinyuan!" Far away, Tao Siniang shouted loudly at Yushu. The tone is not very good, but it can be shuttled through the blooming hibiscus, and the smell of gunpowder is much less.

Tao Siniang's father was in the family for three years and had been a county magistrate. It's a pity that he died of illness within two years of his tenure, leaving behind a few of their orphans and widows. The Tao family is not a famous family, but in the end, there is Tao Jiong, who is an official in Beijing, supporting the portal. But the people of the Tao family are very contemptuous of Tao Siniang's mother and son. Therefore, Tao Siniang knew how to talk to red and white at a young age.

"Mr. Feng Zhu is looking for you, hurry up!" Tao Siniang stopped a few steps away from Yushu and rolled her eyes. seems to be annoying, but it does not damage Tao Siniang's good appearance at all.

There is no need to force herself to draw hibiscus, Yushu was relieved, put away her painting tools, and responded: "Here it is." ”

Tao Siniang turned around at this time, and didn't forget to mutter, "Mr. Feng Zhu's temper is not good, don't rub it off!" ”

Yushu smiled: "She has a good temper. "Strictly speaking, Mr. Feng Zhu has the best temper of all female gentlemen. It's just that she doesn't smile, she always keeps a straight face, and her tone is a little stiff when she speaks, which makes people think that she is not easy to get close to.

In the Qixia Pavilion, Feng Zhu sat at the table, staring at the painting in front of him. Splashed ink peony, the atmosphere is gorgeous, the composition is exquisite and patterned, and the color is free and easy without abruptness. Feng Zhu also had to admit that Yushu did have a talent for painting.

Hear footsteps and look up. Yushu walked all the way from the Jinyuan, her cheeks were red, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her forehead and nose, and her eyes were even brighter like water, which was really cute and lovely. At this moment, Feng Zhu was full of resentment towards Yushu, and naturally felt that she was neither cute nor human. Without waiting for Yushu to approach, Feng Zhu asked, "The homework I assigned is hibiscus, and you use peonies to prevaricate?" "Prevarication may be a bit too much. Yushu's peony is very well painted.

If you can draw so well, why not draw hibiscus? Feng Zhu stared at Yushu angrily.

"Sir, I'm ...... I don't know how to draw hibiscus. Yushu blushed, walked closer, and whispered.

She didn't lie, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't draw hibiscus.

So, Yushu painted peonies and handed in her homework, but she was not sure, thinking that her husband might ask her to repaint, so she ran to Jinyuan again, but she still couldn't draw a single stroke.

Hearing this, Feng Zhu became more and more angry, "You won't? Can you draw peonies, but not hibiscus? You! You! It can be seen that she is really angry, and she can only point at Yushu with her hand.

"Sir, Yushu didn't mean not to paint. Maybe hibiscus means a lot to Yushu, so Yushu can't draw it. ”

"Oh? Tell me about ......"

"Because...... Because my mother said that Daddy likes hibiscus, she ...... "Feng Zhu heard that Yushu's father and her mother were separated when they returned to their hometown. But five or six years have passed, and Yushu's father has not come to look for them. Feng Zhu thought that the Zhang family had been using this set of rhetoric to prevaricate Yushu, and there might be another inside story in this.

"Oh." Feng Zhu was both sad and distressed, his face suddenly softened, and he pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down." ”

Huh? Yushu sat down nervously. She panicked casually, and the gentleman actually believed it?

Mr. Feng Zhu is not only good-tempered, but also very simple.

Yushu suddenly felt full of guilt.

"Then, sir, let's comment on your peony." Feng Zhu still had a straight face, but his tone was rare gentle.

"Hmm...... The composition is still ......"

Feng Zhu had just started when he was interrupted by hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Sir, someone from the yamen is looking for Xie Yushu. Shen Niangzi told her to hurry up. ”

It's still Tao Siniang's voice, this time in addition to impatience, there is also resentment towards Yushu. She is not a servant girl, why did she come once or twice?

Officers? Feng Zhu looked at Yushu suspiciously. Yushu thought about it, it was the thief who woke up.

Yushu trotted all the way to the main hall. Through the bead curtain, I saw Shen Niangzi talking in a low voice with the county lieutenant Fang. Shen Niangzi's expression was slightly solemn, and the corner of her eyes glanced at the window from time to time, but Fang County Lieutenant was talking and laughing freely, calm and relaxed.

Yushu followed Shen Niangzi's gaze and saw Zhang Xiaoyue there, and a Supa quilt in her hand was about to be wrenched by her. Beside her, there were two errand officers standing on the left and right, holding sabers in their hands, with cold mouths and cold faces, as if they were guarding prisoners.

Yushu didn't think much about it, and went in with the curtain.

"I'm talking to County Lieutenant Fang about you, and you're here." Shen Niangzi said to Yushu with a smile.

County Lieutenant Fang also happily agreed: "Yes, yes!" Subconsciously looked at Xiaoyue's direction, and Zhengse said again: "After several days of interrogation, the thief who broke into your house confessed to the mastermind behind the scenes, and you two should go to the county government with me." ”

Yushu nodded. County Lieutenant Fang didn't say much, but Yushu also understood from his attitude. This matter must be inseparable from the Qian mother and daughter.
