Chapter Seventy-Two: Encountering the Dead Under the Willows by the River

The next day, Lu Qianmo still slept until she woke up naturally, and in this 'boring' time, she tried to pass the time with sleep.

Yun Mo didn't go out today, and he was personally taking care of the flowers and plants in the flower room at the moment. Shen Ling didn't learn to ride a horse either, and was holding a book at the moment.

"Ling'er, why didn't you go horseback riding today?"

Shen Ling looked away from the book and explained, "Brother Moxi said that Ling'er's riding skills are already very good, and there is no need to deliberately practice every day, let me learn something else." ”

Lu Qianmo glanced at some of the books piled up on the table and said, "He asked you to read?" ”

Shen Ling nodded vigorously and said, "These books were given to me by Brother Moxi, let me read them in three days." ”

Lu Qianmo stepped forward and roughly flipped through these books, talking about some literature, morality, etiquette and some biographies. I didn't expect Yun Moxi to have this intention for Ling'er, which was much stronger than if he hadn't figured out how to cultivate Ling'er. "Since your brother Moxi has this intention, you should study hard."

"Hmmm! I must study hard, and I will definitely be better than Brother Moxi in the future. ”

Lu Qianmo smiled and rubbed Shen Ling's head with his hand: "Then you have to come on." "This kid regards Yun Moxi as a banner, and wants to surpass him in everything.

"Ling'er will definitely not let Sister Mo and Brother Moxi down." Shen Ling solemnly assured.

"Then sister won't bother you, I'll go to the flower room to have a look."

The bamboo courtyard is very large, not only there is a bamboo forest behind it, there is also an artificial lake in the courtyard, a passage has been built on the north and south sides of the lake, and there is a pavilion in the lake in the center. If this Bamboo Courtyard was not indeed connected to the rest of Yunbohou Mansion, Lu Qianmo would have thought that this was a separate family.

Yun Moxi's flower house is on the east side of the lake, and the whole house is made of glass, and the interior scene can be faintly seen from the outside. Previously, Lu Qianmo had seen this flower house from a distance in the Lake Pavilion, but he had never entered it. She learned from Qingqing that the plants in the flower room were all taken care of by Yun Moxi himself, and unless he traveled far away, special people would be arranged to take care of them.

It is said that many of the plants in the glazed flower room were cultivated by Yun Moxi himself, and one of them was a plant named 'Ziluo' that was especially precious by the other party. Ziluo was cultivated by Yun Moxi three years ago, and the overall color of this plant is purple-brown, but the stems and leaves on the leaves are milky white, which is very unique. Today, Yun Moxi happened to be in the flower room, and Lu Qianmo wanted to go and see it.

Entering the flower room, Lu Qianmo saw Ziluo in the middle at a glance. The combination of purple brown and milky white is very unique and eye-catching. Lu Qianmo didn't understand the cultivation of plants at all, and seeing that Yun Moxi could cultivate a plant like Ziluo, it was a must.

"This thing should only exist in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world. Ziluo, sure enough, lives up to its reputation. Lu Qianmo exclaimed.

Hearing Lu Qianmo's voice, Yun Moxi continued to prune the branches and leaves, and said, "It's just a defective product. ”

Well? Defective products? How can there be such a dazzling defective product. "Why?"

"Three years have passed, and it has not blossomed." Yun Moxi explained.

Lu Qianmo imagined that if Ziluo bloomed, it would definitely be more dazzling, but now looking at Ziluo without flowering, it was already extraordinary. "Sometimes mutilation is also a beauty."

"What is incomplete is incomplete after all."

"The flaws are not hidden."

"That being said, it's not what I think after all, and I will inevitably have regrets."

This can also be understood, Yun Moxi's initial expectation was that Ziluo could bloom, but now he can't do what he wants, and he must have regrets in his heart.

Seeing that Lu Qianmo was silent, Yun Moxi changed the topic and said, "I won't eat in Zhuqing Courtyard tonight. ”

This Lu Qianmo had already thought that today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Yun Mo would definitely participate in the family banquet of Yun Bohou's Mansion. "I know, Shen Ling and I don't have to worry about it."

When it was almost dinner time, Yun Jinlan came to Zhuqing Courtyard, saying that she was waiting for Yun Moxi to go to the family banquet together. Yun Jinlan looked at Lu Qianmo and said hello politely. At this time, Yun Jinlan's attitude towards Lu Qianmo was completely like that of an ordinary guest, and Lu Qianmo praised her acting skills in her heart! If it weren't for that day, when Lu Qianmo accompanied Shen Lingxue to ride a horse, she often saw Yun Jinlan staring at her viciously from a distance, but she was afraid that she would also be deceived by the other party's acting skills.

After Yun Moxi left, in order to be more lively, Lu Qianmo and Qingqing said that they would have dinner with everyone in Zhuqingyuan and celebrate the festival together. Since Lu Qianmo proposed, Qingqing did it, after all, the prince had explained, and everything was arranged by Miss Lu.

A group of people had a lively dinner, and Lu Qianmo proposed to take Shen Ling and the two to go shopping on the street, and the street must be brightly lit at this time. When Qingqing heard this, she said that she wanted to follow along, saying that she was worried that the two were not familiar with Yicheng, and she could be a guide with her. Lu Qianmo did not refuse.

At this moment, the lights of Yicheng are shining, people are coming and going on the streets, and there are all kinds of stalls selling objects that suit the scene.

Shen Ling was very excited when he walked on the street, lingering in front of all kinds of stalls and buying a lot of novelties. Lu Qianmo was very relieved to see Shen Ling like this, after experiencing life and death and a serious illness, he experienced loss and death earlier than his peers, and it was rare for him to retain his due innocence.

Shen Ling, who was walking in front of Qingqing, suddenly turned around and asked expectantly, "Sister Mo, shall we buy a river lantern to make a wish?" ”

Lu Qianmo smiled and said, "Okay." ”

On the bank of the Wutai River in Yicheng, the figures of Lu Qianmo and the three stood in the crowded crowd. In this era, people have a deep belief in the gods, and they want the gods to hear their sincere prayers and fulfill their heart's desires.

The three of them lit the river lantern, put it into the Wutai River, and then sincerely made their wishes. Lu Qianmo's wish is naturally related to Yang Yan, this is her five-year-long wish, she doesn't know if the gods that people believe in can realize their wishes, what she is praying for is just a kind of spiritual sustenance.

Watching the river lantern slowly move away, Lu Qianmo suddenly asked mischievously, "I don't know what wish Ling'er made?" ”

Shen Ling said with an awe-inspiring expression: "This is a secret. ”

"Oh, okay then." Lu Qianmo pretended to be lost.

Shen Ling was a little embarrassed when he saw this, "This ...... This one...... Actually......"

Lu Qianmo bent over, then scraped Shen Ling's nose with her hand, and said with a smile: "Little cutie, sister teases you, it won't work if you say your wish." ”

Shen Ling was angry when he heard this, "Sister is so bad! Then he twisted his head to the side and didn't look at Lu Qianmo.

Qingqing couldn't help but smile when she saw this, the little boy's angry appearance was quite cute!

This little kid is actually angry? Lu Qianmo was confused, she had never seen Shen Ling angry with her after getting along for so long, why was she angry because of a joke today? Lu Qianmo stretched out his hand to break Shen Ling's head and said, "Angry? ”

Shen Ling didn't look at Lu Qianmo and didn't say anything.

Really angry? Lu Qianmo rubbed Shen Ling's little face and said, "Okay, okay, my sister is wrong." Ming'er's sister will make you something to eat, as an aparation, Ling'er don't be angry. ”

Shen Ling continued to be silent.

"That's not okay either?" Sure enough, children have the worst temper. When Lu Qianmo frowned and was thinking of other ways, Shen Ling suddenly spoke.

"I'm going to eat steak."

Hearing this, Lu Qianmo's eyebrows stretched, continued to rub Shen Ling's little face, and said with a smile: "No problem." Then he got up, "Let's go look elsewhere, there are too many people on the riverbank." ”

Lu Qianmo took Shen Ling's little hand, and as soon as he turned around, he saw a familiar figure standing under the willow tree not far away. This person was as gentle and elegant as ever, smiling at her like a spring breeze.

"I just saw a familiar figure at the river lantern seller, so I followed over to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you." Bai Ziyan walked towards Lu Qianmo and said.

Lu Qianmo led Shen Ling over and said, "Ziyan, long time no see." ”

"Long time no see. When did you come to Wing City? ”

"It's only been a few days since I arrived."

"When you came to Yicheng, you didn't look for me, and you will have to punish yourself three cups later."

"Shallow foam receives the punishment."

Bai Ziyan noticed the little boy led by Lu Qianmo, as far as he knew, Lu Qianmo did not have this person by his side, so he asked puzzledly: "Who is this little boy?" ”

"His name is Shen Ling, and now he is my younger brother." Lu Qianmo looked at Shen Ling and said, "Ling'er, this is Brother Ziyan, and she is my sister's friend." ”

"Brother Ziyan is good." Shen Ling called people obediently.

"Ling'er is good." Bai Ziyan took off a jade pendant from his body and said, "When we meet for the first time, this will be regarded as a gift from me to you." ”

Lu Qianmo knew this jade pendant, and since she knew the other party, she saw him wearing it all the time. "It's too precious for us to take it."

"With our friendship, you don't have to be polite to me, this is a jade pendant, it has no special significance, and this is for Ling Er." Faced with Lu Qianmo's refusal, Bai Ziyan said.

If it's just a jade pendant, it doesn't hurt to accept it. "Ling'er, don't thank you Brother Ziyan yet."

"Thank you, Brother Ziyan." Then take the jade pendant.

"We haven't seen each other in months, how about a place to catch up?" Bai Ziyan proposed.

"Be your own companion." Lu Qianmo responded to Bai Ziyan's invitation, then looked down at Shen Ling, winked at him and hinted, and then asked, "Ling'er, do you want to catch up with me and Brother Ziyan, or do you want to go shopping again?" ”

Shen Ling understood Lu Qianmo's meaning and replied: "Adults catch up with each other, and children are boring to go." I still want to go to a club. ”

"In that case, let Qingqing accompany you to continue shopping for a while." Then, Lu Qianmo turned back to Qingqing and said, "You can accompany Ling Er to play for a while, if he is tired of shopping, you can go back first, and I will go back by myself when the time comes." ”

Bai Ziyan's sudden appearance surprised Qingqing. I didn't expect Miss Lu to know the eldest son of the Bai family, and the relationship between the two seems to be unusual, I don't know if the prince knows about it? With the identity of Yunfu and the Bai family, it is indeed inconvenient for her to stay with the eldest prince of the Bai family for a long time. So...... "Miss Lu, please rest assured, the little boy will be handed over to the slave." ”

"There is labor."

After Qingqing and Shen Ling left, Bai Ziyan led Lu Qianmo to a teahouse.
