At dusk, if there is no sun, the medicine garden will be very cold and the light will be very poor.

But Satsuki still saw the figure hiding in the corner, and she felt that the person was familiar, so she walked over to this person.

She passed by Wen Youyou, and when she passed by the pear tree, she was drenched in a rain of petals, and the fragrance of pear blossoms and the citrus smell on Wen Youyou's body made her think back to this day later, and she could always feel some sweetness and bitterness in her memory.

When the man saw her coming towards him, he suddenly turned around and wanted to leave.

Xiao Yue asked tentatively, "Chengshuang, is that you?"

The figure listened to Xiao Yue's question, was obviously stunned for a moment, and did not continue to move forward.

Wen Youyou followed the direction that Xiao Yue walked over, and also found a person, he pulled Xiao Yue and said, "Forget it, let her go." ”

Xiao Yue turned her head to Wen Youyou and said, "You avoid it first, let me talk to Cheng Shuang." ”

Wen Youyou sighed and shook his head again, "You are just nosy, I'll go back to the West Wing Courtyard and wait for you for dinner." ”

After Wen Youyou left, Xiao Yue said to the figure, "Come out, he's gone." ”

The man slowly walked out of the shadows, "Satsuki... ”

Xiao Yue looked at Cheng Shuang, who looked a little embarrassed, and comforted: "Come over here, there is a stone bench under this tree, come and sit." ”

Satsuki sat down and waited for her first.

Chengshuang said faintly: "Xiaoyue, in fact, you don't have to be so good to me. ”

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Where did I treat you? ”

Chengshuang lowered her head and slowly walked to Xiaoyue's side.

Xiao Yue pointed to the white pear blossom and said: "I have always thought that Cheng Shuang's appearance is handsome, and sure enough, today I saw that this blooming pear blossom was compared to you." ”

Chengshuang covered her mouth and smiled lowly, but when she walked in front of Xiao Yue, her face was full of melancholy, and she asked distressedly, "Xiao Yue, will you look down on me?"

"What do you mean, why do I look down on you?"

"I heard all the conversation you just had with Master Wen. ”

"And then?"

"Xiaoyue, maybe in the eyes of the world, I'm immoral like this, but I... ”

Xiao Yue interrupted her and asked, "These are not important, I just want to ask you, are you willing to do everything you do?"

Chengshuang nodded.

Xiao Yue said with relief: "That's good, as long as you don't regret it, you can leave the rest to me, and I will let you marry into the Chen family in style." ”

Cheng Shuang looked at Xiao Yue in surprise, she widened her eyes and asked, "Xiao Yue, 。。。。。 you It's not, I... ”

"Okay, okay, there are some things that are inconvenient to mention. Xiao Yue looked at Cheng Shuang and asked, "Can you return to Ying Yuexuan tomorrow?"

"Well, I'll go back tomorrow. ”

"Okay, it's just that Wen Youyou and I have to go out to do something tomorrow, and it's inconvenient to take you with me, so let Chen Qiwen send you back." ”

Cheng Shuang nodded and said gratefully: "Xiaoyue, you... You know what? You are the most special woman I have ever met, no one can be as good to me as you are to me, so considerate of me, no matter what happens in the future, you will be my best friend. ”

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "Why are you talking about these stupid things? Let's go, let's go to dinner together." ”

Cheng Shuang shook his head, "I still have something to say to Chen Qiwen, you can go back." ”

"Okay. Satsuki thought to herself that she wouldn't disturb their couple's sweet time.

That night, Chengshuang still didn't go back to the West Chamber.

In the dim night sky, dark clouds covered the moon's face, and Xiao Yue waited left and right to see Chengshuang come back, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart. But because of the fever the night before, she didn't last long, and fell asleep again.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xiaoyue woke up and went to find Chengshuang as soon as possible, but was told by Wen Youyou that Chen Qiwen had sent Chengshuang back to the city.

Only then did Xiaoyue follow Wen Youyou to see Yuan Chenhao with peace of mind.

Yuan Chenhao made an appointment to meet Xiaoyue's manor, which was not very far from the Chen family's Four Seasons Manor, and they arrived almost at noon.

Wen Youyou told Xiao Yue on the road that this manor is called Qingming Garden, and the owner of the manor is Yuan Chenhao's uncle Yuan Zaimin.

And Yuan Zaimin doesn't like government affairs, lives in Qingming Garden all the year round, and is reluctant to go out. When Yuan Chenhao's father died, he was willing to come out to worship, and he basically didn't see anyone at other times.

It is rumored that he doesn't like women, so he has never married a wife and has no children.

It is also rumored that Won Jae-min once liked a woman, but the woman died very early, and Won Jae-min did not marry a wife.

This person lives in a simple place, no one is seen on weekdays, and his hobbies are also very peculiar, not poetry and songs, but like to do some carpentry or something.

When Yuanchen Hao ascended the throne last year, he carved a dragon out of yellow wood as a gift.

After listening to Wen Youyou's introduction, Xiao Yue was a little curious about this person. She remembered that when she studied history in the past, it seemed that there was an emperor in the Ming Dynasty who did not do his job properly, had a strong interest in carpenter work, left national affairs behind, and became the "carpenter emperor" in the mouth of future generations.

Although this Yuan Zaimin did not sit as an emperor, this hobby is also strange enough.

After arriving at the destination, Satsuki found that this manor was obviously much more magnificent than the Four Seasons Manor. The walls around the manor are high stone walls, and the gate of the manor is made of iron, which looks more magnificent than the ordinary wooden gate.

There was already a gray-clothed guy waiting for them at the door.

After seeing Wen Youyou and them, the little guy stepped forward and asked, "Is it Lord Wen?"

"It's Xia Guan. ”

"Okay, Master Wen and Master Wen, please follow the little one into the garden, your retinue and groom can only wait here. ”

Wen Youyou nodded, instructed Mu Shi and Lao Chen, and took Xiao Yue to follow this gray-clothed little guy into Qingming Garden.

Qingming Garden looks impregnable from the outside, and the interior is also very peculiar.

Satsuki found that this manor was very much like a fortress from the outside to the inside, and the layers of houses inside were not built randomly, but as if they were built in the shape of gossip.

But the only thing that is not like a fortress is that there are very few people in this manor, and Xiao Yue and they walked for a long time before they met one or two subordinates.

These subordinates were all silent, wearing gray clothes, and walking in a hurry.

This manor is also very large, and Xiao Yue has not yet reached her destination when she gets numb on the soles of her feet, and at this time, she remembers that the wooden thorn from the night before is still on the soles of her feet.

Just when Xiao Yue couldn't hold on, the gray-clothed little guy stopped in front of a two-story house, turned to them and said, "Lord Wen, it's here." ”
