Situ Yanran resisted in her heart, but said with a smile on her face: "Uncle Shangguan won't work for this little thing, Yanran will handle it herself." ”

Shangguan Shangming raised his eyebrows after hearing this, "Oh-since that's the case, then leave it to Yanran." ”

"Hmm." Situ Yanran lowered her head and replied in a low voice.

At this time, if she looked up, she would see Shangguan Shangming's eyes full of interest looking at her.

The next day, the Yi family's banquet began, because someone had told Mu Xiaochu in advance what the banquet would do, she didn't go because she was bored, but waited in the courtyard to see the scenery.

"Ziyan, do you feel that life is boring?" Mu Xiaochu supported his chin with one hand and asked Qi Ziyan beside him.

"How can it be, you can be with Xiao Chu every day, how can it be boring." Qi Ziyan took Mu Xiaochu's other hand into his hand and said, "If you are bored, we can find time to hang out together." ”

Suddenly, Mu Xiaochu said: "By the way, I remembered!" ”

Qi Ziyan, "? ”

Mu Xiaochu's eyes flashed: "If Uncle Lin De says it's okay, he has to take me to a place, otherwise the banquet will be over." ”

Qi Ziyan's sword eyebrows raised slightly, his pupils opened slightly, his thin lips opened slightly, and he asked, "What did he tell you?" ”

Mu Xiaochu nodded, "Well, Uncle Lin De told me a long time ago, but I had something to do at that time, and then I just forgot about it, and I only remembered it now." "It's a little embarrassing to forget about my expression.

Seeing that Qi Ziyan didn't reply for a long time, Mu Xiaochu asked, "What, is there any problem?" ”

There was a hint of confusion in his tone.

"It's okay, it's just a little surprised." Qi Ziyan said.

"If that's the case, then it's decided."

"Okay, I'll be with you when I get back. Go"

"Uh-huh."

At the place where the banquet was held at this time, Situ Yanran also felt a little bored.

"Miss, could it be that this banquet is just a gathering of some people to drink tea?" The maid Xiaofen asked.

Since yesterday, she has been more careful in her work than before, and she has more respect for Situ Yanran, because Situ Yanran also has a Shangguan Shangming by her side.

"I think so." Situ Yanran explained, "I heard that the Yi family made a fortune from tea, and many famous teas on the market are produced by the Yi family. ”

She played with the teacup in her hand and continued, "But at the same time, they also love to drink tea, so this banquet is to share it with people who also love tea." ”

Of course, this is all superficial, as for the real reason, it should be a cage for people's hearts.

As for how to win it over, it is unknown.

After a while, a person came, probably knowing Shangguan Shangming, and said, "Huh? Isn't this Miss Yanran, a famous talented girl in Beijing, why are you sitting here? ”

Situ Yanran got up and smiled slightly: "It was Uncle Shangguan who was kind-hearted and brought Yanran here." ”

Then, she said: "Since Uncle Shangguan has something to do, then Yanran will leave first." ”

After saying that, he left with a smile on his face.

However, after turning around, the smile on his face was instantaneous, and although he took small steps, he quickly left here.

After walking away, Situ Yanran let out a long sigh of relief.

She said to the maid beside her, "You go back first, I want to go alone." ”

At the same time, Mu Xiaochu on the other side was led by a small guy found by Yi Shaoyun to a leisurely place in Zhuangzi.

It turned out to be an orchard.

The blue-green sand fruit hung all over the branches, evoking Mu Xiaochu's memories.

In her previous life, when she was young, there was also a sand fruit tree like that in the yard of the orphanage, which accompanied her throughout her childhood.

I remember the happiest thing was climbing the tree with my friends to pick fruits and eat them in the summer.

It was green, very large, and very good-looking, completely forgetting what the dean said that the fruit could not be picked if it was not ripe.

At that time, a few friends picked a lot together, and because there were too many, they hid under their pillows and waited to eat them secretly the next day.

But when I ate it the next day, and when I watched it again, I didn't feel like the first day.

'Shaguo is so sour', that's their unanimous idea.

So they did a stupid thing, that is, they threw away the sand fruits they picked on the first day and waited to eat the red ones.

However, when they lost the sand fruit, they were discovered by the dean, and the consequence was that they were severely beaten by the dean.

and let them not eat the ripe fruit of that year.

At that time, the orphanage was very poor, and it was happy to be able to eat a few sand fruits.

Therefore, they did not understand the dean's disposition, and even became angry.

She still remembers what the Dean had told them then: he was angry not because we picked the turquoise sand fruits, but because we picked them and threw them away.

The dean taught us that it is shameful to waste food at any time, even if it is a small fruit.

Ignorant, they instantly understood a sentence at that time: that is, it cannot be wasted, and waste is shameful.

It wasn't until many years later that the dean fell ill and died, and the sand fruit tree also stopped bearing fruit and was cut down that year because of too many pests on its body.

It was also from that day that she had only entered high school and had a dream, that is, to be a doctor who could save people!

Qi Ziyan, who was standing on the side, saw Mu Xiaochu staring at Sha Guoshu and crying, his heart hurt, he walked up to her and asked, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Mu Xiaochu shook his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "It's okay, I just think I'm such a bastard." ”

I actually lived my life like this. How boring she is!

Mu Xiaochu buried his head in Qi Ziyan's chest pain, and sobbed in a low voice.

Qi Ziyan, who didn't understand what Mu Xiaochu had experienced, was distressed or distressed.

He looked at the sand fruit tree in front of him, and felt the urge to cut it down, but finally stopped.

That was Xiao Chu's memory, and he shouldn't have destroyed it at will, even if it was just a small fruit tree.

After about a quarter of an hour, Mu Xiaochu stopped sobbing, raised his eyebrows, smiled in his eyes, and asked, "Shall we come back when these fruits are fully ripe." ”

Qi Ziyan gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes for her, and said in a low and gentle voice: "Okay, if you want to eat, let's go back and plant one in the yard." ”

Mu Xiaochu nodded, "Well, Ziyan is the best." ”

With red eyes, smiling eyes, and raised corners of his mouth, he looked at the person in front of him intently, and said, "Ziyan, it's good for me to call you like this in the future." ”

"It's all right, whatever you call it." Qi Ziyan, "But-"

"But what?"

"But I prefer you to call me Xianggong."

“.…..”

"Xiao Chu is only fourteen years old, when will he grow up?"

“.…..”

"Do you think our future children will be a little more like you or a little more like me."

“.…..” Mu Xiaochu pretended to be angry and slapped him in the chest, "You're really enough for me, I won't tell you." ”

Then she left his embrace, with her flushed cheeks.

The body shuttled through the fruit grove, and gradually laughed, seeing this, Qi Ziyan's inky black eyes gradually became stained with a smile.

Situ Yanran, who was hiding behind a tree not far away, saw this, and looked at Mu Xiaochu in front of her viciously, "Why, you are just a girl from the countryside, why are you so lucky, I am the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the first talented woman in the capital, those excellent men should revolve around me!" ”

"Ziyan, come here, there are a lot of peach blossoms here." On the other side, Mu Xiaochu in the distance shouted.

It seems that the previous unhappiness has been forgotten.

And Qi Ziyan, who was behind her, shook her head after hearing this, and finally chased after her with great strides, saying as she walked, "Be careful of your step." ”

Jin Jubao at the banquet, "I really sympathize with you, and I have to go over to greet so many people." ”

Then she patted him on the shoulder, and the smug look was not too obvious.

Yi Shaoyun gritted his teeth and said, "What, you want to replace me?" ”

"How is it possible, I heard that there is a good fruit tree mountain behind this Zhuangzi, I will go and see it now, and I won't accompany you." After saying that, he got up and left.

Shi Jinyun said: "Hey, Jubao, you're too uninteresting." ”

Jin Jubao stopped to look at him.

Yi Shaoyun gave Shi Jinyun the appearance of a good brother, but the next second it turned into consternation.

"If you want to leave, you should take me with you, there are too many people here, it's strange to drink well, I don't understand why the Yi family holds such a boring banquet every year." After saying that, he got up and left with Jin Jubao.

Only Yi Shaoyun was left alone, although he also felt that such a banquet was too boring, less fun to taste tea, and more of a philistine.

But he is the young master here, and he has to stay, because there are many famous and respected masters here, and he needs to accompany him.

Fruit Tree Hill a quarter of an hour later.

"I didn't expect Xiao Chu to be here." Shi Jinyun pushed the golden treasure beside him and said, "Hey, see if there is a person there." ”

Jin Jubao looked along the place he said, and sure enough, there was a person and woman hiding behind a tree, with her head raised, probably looking at Mu Xiaochu and Qi Ziyan in front of her.

On closer inspection, the bark of the tree she was hiding had been deducted a lot.

Jin Jubao said: "It turned out to be a jealous person. ”

However, the man turned his back to them, and he couldn't see her appearance clearly, but he remembered what she was wearing.

Just ask around and you'll know, but they're not that boring people.

But there will always be accidents, as if they didn't want to know people, and the next moment they knew.

I only heard Jin Jubao say loudly: "Mu Xiaochu-"

Sincerely, I just want to call Mu Xiaochu.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Situ Yanran, who was hiding behind the tree, stiffened, looked around in a panic, and finally staggered away.

"It's her!" There was a hint of surprise in Jin Jubao's voice.

The moment Situ Yanran turned around, both of them saw it.

"Sure enough, people are not disfigured." Shi Jinyun smiled.

The tone was full of mockery.

If Situ Yanran hadn't turned back in a panic and left directly, she probably wouldn't have been discovered by them, but who told her to be a thief and expose herself.

Seeing that the people had already left, Jin Jubao and Shi Jinyun also strode to Mu Xiaochu's side and said, "It seems that you have a lot of fun here." ”

Mu Xiaochu, "It's okay, the main thing is that the scenery here is good." ”

The mountains of fruit trees and flowers are indeed beautiful.

"It's autumn, it's better here." Jin Jubao, and then the style of painting changed, "But you can't see it, because outsiders are not allowed to enter here in autumn." ”

"What did you say?" Mu Xiaochu, his eyes opened slightly, "Don't let you in here in autumn?" ”

Jin Jubao explained, "Yes, it is said that this is planted by a previous master of the Yi family for her deceased wife, as for the specific person is unknown, but I know that no one can move the fruit trees here, even if they are ripe and rotten on the ground, and after a long time, it has become a rule that no one can come here in autumn." ”

Mu Xiaochu sighed, "I'm so moved, I didn't expect there to be such a beautiful story here." ”

Suddenly, Qi Ziyan said: "If Xiao Chu likes it, I can also plant a mountain of fruit trees for you." ”
