Chapter 226: There is an ambush
Yuehua was stunned, how did she know that there was such a thing.
"Mother, don't you believe it? Then you go and ask Chu Mubai, he is often summoned by the emperor in the middle of the night, where are there so many major military events? They were all called over to drink and chat. We can't afford the emperor's jealousy. ”
Since Yuehua left the Forbidden City, she has tried her best to seal up her loving past with Mo Guhan, and try not to think about it. For so many days, I have never seen Mo Guhan again. Sure enough, he evaporated from his side and disappeared without a trace.
Yuehua thought, a high wall of the Forbidden City is the distance between herself and Mo Guhan, in this life, I am afraid that there will never be any intersection.
Hearing Shao Ziqing mention it today, her heart was gloomy for a while, she is still his lonely and cold queen, he can be beautiful in the palace, hugging left and right, and he is still his face, even if Shao Ziqing and Chu Mubai, he is still selfishly uncomfortable.
At that moment, she was a little angry, and she stayed between this square inch, not leaving the maple forest an inch. He Mo Guhan was not satisfied, so he hoped that he would become a loner, and everyone would stay away, so he got his wish, right?
With so many guards, is it protection or surveillance?
At this time, Chu Jiu was waiting outside the door, and he stared at the door of the bamboo house with great vigilance. Today, Shao Xiang came over and brought a strange woman, and he was a little worried.
Xiangshen pushed the door out and said angrily to him: "What is the pestle like a wooden stake doing here?" ”
The eyelids of the first nine are not flirtatious.
Xiangshen closed the door with his backhand: "Have you fed the chicken?" ”
Chu Jiu still ignored her, just snorted disdainfully. The guards in the forest all knew that he was called and drunk by a little girl here, and if it was spread out, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the brothers?
Xiang Shen couldn't hear his echo, he passed past him, his elbow was pounded hard, Chu Jiu's feet did not move, but his body leaned over, avoiding Xiang Shen's sudden attack.
This one fell short. Xiangshen still passed by him proudly. Walked straight to the chicken pen and opened the door of the chicken pen.
The hens immediately scrambled to get out, and Xiangshen leaned over to block it, but it was too late. The frightened hen fluttered her wings and fled, scattering and fling, directly knocking over the soybeans drying on the shelf.
Xiang Shen exclaimed, and hurriedly greeted Chu Jiu: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and pick up the beans, and they will all be eaten in a while." ”
Chu Jiu reluctantly walked over and muttered: "What stupid! ”
Xiangshen immediately returned the mouth not to be outdone: "You're not stupid? You're not stupid enough to catch those troublesome old hens! ”
"No matter," Chu Jiu replied crisply: "If you release it yourself, you can catch it yourself." ”
The two were engaged in a war of words, while holding their heads down to pick up beans. The door of the Yuehua bamboo house squeaked open, and Shao Ziqing and the drunken Oiran walked out of the house.
Shao Ziqing turned around, still a little reluctant.
"Niangniang really doesn't want to see it?"
Xiangshen stood up and said angrily: "Shicai Niangniang has already said that she will not go, Shao Xiang will be happy by himself, don't bury my mother, it is ridiculous, and I don't look at any identity." ”
Xiang Shen's words annoyed the oiran who was drunk with a dream, and turned around and left.
"Hey, what a big temperament!"
Shao Ziqing arched his hand at Yuehua in the house: "Then Ziqing will leave." ”
The door of the bamboo house immediately closed in front of him, Shao Ziqing smiled awkwardly, hurried two steps, followed the Oiran out of the maple forest, and went straight to the carriage outside the forest.
The coachman immediately whipped his horse and the carriage went away.
Shao Ziqing smiled proudly: "Xiangshen, this girl, is clever, but her mouth is getting more and more powerful." ”
The Oiran lady winked at him slyly: "When I was a child, I sneaked out of the door, and I often used such a trick, Xiangshen and I have always had a tacit understanding, if it were my brother here, I would definitely not be able to hide it." ”
This voice is clearly Yuehua.
"If the emperor knows that I secretly took you out for a walk, I wonder if he will ask me to eat and drink again?"
Shao Ziqing said with a sad face.
"You yourself are clearly prepared, you have a plan, but at this time you are complaining to me."
Shao Ziqing was debunked, and smiled warmly at Yuehua: "I have long wanted to take you out to relax, otherwise I will be stuck in that square inch of land all day long, I am afraid that I will be bored." ”
This smile, as warm as jade, as soft as water, made Yuehua feel like returning to the first acquaintance of the two in a trance. She always felt that Shao Ziqing's playfulness and romance in front of the world were all masks, and the real him should be the same as now, there are bandit gentlemen, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding, the eyebrows and corners of the eyes are all three inches of warm sun, and the splendid articles between the lips and teeth,
If there was no selfishness of Mama Wei at the beginning, there was no such mistake, and he did not approach Mo Guhan, at this moment, what kind of mood would he be in when he made an appointment to appreciate the peony together?
Yuehua shook her head, discarding these nonsense thoughts. Creation makes people, some things are originally destined by God, and I can't let go of it in my heart, isn't it the person who took him into his arms from the dark and clammy ground in the maple forest?
At the beginning, he just wrongly pinned that feeling on Shao Ziqing.
The two were suddenly speechless, and there was an inexplicable sadness in the carriage.
The carriage drove all the way along the official road, and it was really a cup of tea, and the carriages on the side of the road began to dense.
The coachman stopped the car, jumped down, and reminded Shao Ziqing and Yuehua: "Master, I have arrived at Lanruo Temple, there are too many cars in front of me, and I can't get through." ”
Shao Ziqing lifted the curtain of the car, and saw that there was a crowd of people in front of him, and the traffic was busy, and he really couldn't get any closer. He could only jump out of the carriage and stretch out his hand towards Yuehua.
Yuehua stepped out of the carriage and looked around, only to know that the annual peony festival in Beijing was so lively, and she couldn't help but be speechless.
The two of them have been walking along the road, and the peony garden is full of flowers, purple and red, competing for beauty, and it is really a good place to enjoy the scenery and relax. It's just that there are a sea of people, rubbing shoulders one after another, and the interest is ruined.
"It's just an ordinary scenery in the world, how can there be so many tourists?" Yuehua was surprised.
"It is said that the peony here is not planted by the monks of Lanruo Temple, but the manifestation of Guanyin, praying for the blessing and avoiding disasters for the people of the capital, so the world is flocking to it."
"Guanyin apparition?"
Shao Ziqing nodded: "The legend is a bit absurd, and if you say it, you should listen to it as a story." A few years ago, a white dragon crossed the catastrophe and turned into a white snake and curled up in the cabbage in the backyard of Lanruo Temple. At night, the monks in the monastery were cooking, and by chance they cut off the cabbage and brought it into the kitchen. Because it was dark at that time, the monk didn't see it clearly, so he cut it down with a knife and directly cut off half of the white dragon's tail.
The white dragon turned into a wisp of green smoke, soared into the air, and in an instant there was thunder and lightning over Lanruo Temple, wind and rain, and the white dragon had a small belly and chicken intestines, wanting to flood the entire temple.
Seeing the rain pouring in front of the temple, all the monks were shocked and sang Sanskrit together, which finally alarmed the Nanhai Guanyin monk.
Tuas appeared, the wind stopped raining in an instant, the sun was shining, the white dragon was not satisfied, Master Guanyin patiently lit it, and used the water of the net bottle to pick up the white dragon's broken tail, and only then did he turn a fight into a jade silk. And the water in her net bottle was sprinkled in front of the Lanruo Temple, and a splendid peony was born on the second day. ”
Yuehua covered her lips and smiled: "This is so godly, I'm afraid it's just that the people in the temple are far-fetched and intentional about it." ”
Shao Ziqing stretched out his hand and pointed to the back mountain: "The Forgotten Worry Spring in the back mountain, I heard that it is the rootless water of Guanyin Master, but the dead wood is returned to spring, and it is particularly sweet." Someone next to the spring took water to cook tea and opened a tea pavilion, do you want to come to a cup of tea to quench your thirst? ”
Yuehua was walking anxiously, and when she heard the words, she naturally couldn't ask for it, so she walked towards the back mountain with Shao Ziqing.
Compared with the peony garden in the front mountain, the back mountain is really much cleaner.
Not long after, there was a murmuring spring, and someone built a pergola by the spring, lit a fire on the stove, and boiled a pot of hot tea. Visitors take their own bowls and drink, and drop a few copper plates. There are also people who scoop raw water directly from the sweet spring to drink, dispel the heat and rejuvenate the heat, and feel hearty.
Yuehua and Shao Ziqing stepped forward, and the boss diligently filled two cups of tea and handed them to the two.
The tea is just ordinary Pu'er, but the entrance is sweet and sweet, the two of them find a clean mountain stone, sit on the spot, drink slowly.
The surrounding environment is quiet, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the irritability caused by the congestion of the tourists is swept away.
"Do you come here often? How do you know such a good place? Yuehua asked with a light smile.
Shao Ziqing smiled: "If you want to ask a beautiful woman to go along, you naturally have to inquire about it in advance and be prepared." ”
Yuehua raised her sleeves to wipe the sweat on her face, and said sincerely: "Then I want to thank Shao Xiang for being so attentive." ”
Shao Ziqing raised the empty bowl in his hand: "Do you want to give you another bowl?" ”
Yuehua shook her head: "It's not too early to see the hour, it's better to go back early, so as not to embarrass your Oiran lady, that Chu Jiu is not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade." ”
Shao Ziqing looked up at the sky: "Let's just come out for an hour." ”
Yan then stood up, his body shook a little: "How can a cup of tea be like drinking?" I was a little drunk. ”
Yuehua was about to make a joke, but she also felt that her mind was in a trance, and the distant mountains and close views were overlapping.
She secretly said in her heart that it was not good, didn't she fall for someone else's plot?
Although it is not a place where tourists shuttle like weaving, but there are also tea guests who stay nearby to take a rest, who would be so bold as to dare to go down in public? He was willful, he threw off Chu Jiu and ran out, now there are only himself and Shao Ziqing, originally he was powerless, and now he has both been hit, but how can he be good?
She immediately made a decision, threw the tea bowl in her hand hard, and fell on the mountain stone under her, and the tea bowl immediately "snapped" and fell apart. She endured the dizziness, picked up a piece of broken porcelain, and slid it to her fingertips, and there were red blood stains dripping, which made her suddenly sober up a lot.
The tea guests who were resting around immediately turned their heads and stared at her in surprise.
Shao Ziqing couldn't help but fall to the ground with a "poof".
"There's a * in this tea!"
Yuehua tried her best to hold back her dizziness, and wanted to pull Shao Ziqing who fell to the ground, her body was sore and staggering, where was half of her strength?
The onlookers were surprised and inexplicable, looking down at the tea bowl in their hands, they were all stunned.
Several black shadows leaped out of the surrounding woods, straight in the direction of the two of them.
There was an ambush.
