The river breeze was even colder, and the girls went home, passing through the streets and alleys along the way, inevitably walking slowly, and the most tired were the guards who followed behind. When I returned to the Hou Mansion, it was already the end of the day.

As soon as I arrived in Zhumen, a middle-aged woman came to pick me up with half joy and half resentment.

The woman said: "Your eyes are green! A few ladies scolded you for being better than those bastards!

Mengyu said: "It's going to be late, why is it so early?"

The woman said: "The second princess came to see the marquis and Mrs. Yu, and wanted to keep her for dinner, so she was in advance." ”

Ba Chan said: "Brother Menglong, are they back?"

Mengyu knew that she had something to say, and turned her right elbow.

The woman said: "I drank it early, and it was in the dam in front of the rockery." Let's go!"

With this woman, she entered the gate and entered the second gate, passed a dam, and there was a garden, which was mostly planted with peonies, and at this time in winter, there were no flowers naturally. Another arch is a large courtyard, there is a rockery, on the edge of the stone dam in front of the rockery, there is a tall honey locust tree, not far away there is another one, about the same size. The male tree has occasional yellow leaves, a few grey sparrows are flying at the top of the tree, and the swallows, which the children prefer, have gone further south.

A fire was set up under the tree, a slightly pungent smell of roast venison, Ba Chong, Fan Menglong, Fan Yuntong, Zheng Rong, Zhu Ding, etc., one right and one left, lined up in a circle by the fire, all of them had changed into homely clothes, and two of them were Fan Yuntong's good buddies, one was good at ventriloquism, nicknamed "Starling", and the other was nicknamed "Ba Qi", which had been seen by Fan Mengyu; and four people, who did not know Mengyu, were probably Fan Yuntong's accomplices.

They sat on several thick cushions, sparsely arranged in a circle, with a pile of firewood in the center and pieces of venison on a bronze stand. It could be seen that the meat had not yet been cooked, and the wine urn was empty.

Mengyu and Ba Chan spoke in front, and Osmanthus and Ba Hui walked behind them.

Seeing that Fan Yuntong was talking with Zheng Rong, E Guihua felt that his hatred for ignoring him by the river and not stepping on it came to her heart for a while, and she really wanted to step forward and count him down in person, but she felt very inappropriate. Unintentionally looked up, and saw a small honeycomb on the honey locust tree, thinking that there were no live bees in it in winter, and it was directly above Fan Yuntong.

Frowning and thinking about it, E Guihua turned around and smiled softly at Chi Wudaugh, who was following closely, and said, "You have the courage to shoot down that bee bag and avenge the sword on the river." ”

Chi Wuxing thought to herself, could she see that if she made another thirty or forty moves, she would lose to Fan Yuntong? He didn't know that E Guihua just felt that he would lose, she knew that the samurai of the Pakistani country were first afraid of saying "no courage", no matter how strong they were, the enemy would show their swords, and the second was afraid of saying that their martial arts were poor. Besides, her deliberate smile worked more effectively to Chi Wudaunt than any general's orders.

Chi Wudaunt took the bow, set up the arrow, and released the arrow with a swift and light movement, and when the Ying Ying who was watching Ba Chong behind him reacted, the arrow had already flown out like an escaped bird.

The samurai present heard the sound of the bowstring and thought that he was shooting a bird on the tree, and it was common for the samurai of Pakistan to perform martial arts at will. When he looked up, he only heard the sound of "canopy", followed by the sound of broken branches, and it was just as crisp, the honeycomb went straight down, straight to Fan Yuntong's head, and then he understood his intentions.

Fan Yuntong was talking to Zheng Rong with his head bowed, and the small honeycomb hit his back and bounced towards Ba Chong. Ba Chong heard the sound, stretched out his hand to block it, and threw it behind him.

Fan Yuntong didn't know what topic Zheng Rong was attracted to, but he didn't hear the sound of arrows and broken branches, and it was more likely that he was used to it. I was hit by the honeycomb and there was no pain, but I understood what was going on, and I shouted angrily: "Chi is missing the mouth!

Chi Wudaunt was still seven or eight feet away, and shouted with a smile: "It is the heart that is convinced to salute!"

The words of convincing came from the mouth of a samurai, and Fan Yuntong couldn't care better.

He walked behind the man who was barbecuing. E Guihua thought that Fan Yuntong would be furious with his temperament, but he only got angry, and it was extinguished in an instant, so he had to admire Chi Wuxing's wit and frankness, and turned to Chi Wuxing and said to Qi Ying: "You don't have to send it anymore." ”

The two of them were anxious, and hurriedly responded, Chi Wuxing smiled: "Thank you, thank you! Since it is not a big day, there is also wine to drink, so you can't delay." As he spoke, he glanced up at the osmanthus flower, and his eyes showed that between wine and beauty, he preferred beauty.

A man in one said: "Why isn't it a big day, the marquis of Huang's illness has improved, and Menglong is here again." ”

Chi Wuxing smiled: "If I am wrong, I will punish you for drinking." Hurriedly squeezed the seat to sit down, first took the initiative to make up a glass of wine, and then laughed with everyone, his eyes still looking at the woman.

Several other guards were seated.

At this time, Osmanthus saw a woman empty-handed in front, and led a group of women out of the side door, each with a delicate small copper basin in her hand, and a woman with a clean linen cloth behind her, which was expected to be sent to clean her hands. Osmanthus shouted to the woman who led the way: "Eldest sister, please come over, and lead Sister Ba Hui to Madame first." ”

The woman came and said, "Come, too." Yin Ba Hui and her maid went first.

Osmanthus, Mengyu, and Ba Chan watched and slowly walked behind the people on the side of the fire, followed by several maids. All the men raised their heads to say hello, but only Fan Yuntong and Zheng Rong continued to bow their heads and speak, as if what had happened just now had not happened.

The group of women carrying water was coming.

If one plan fails, another plan will be regained, E Guihua feels that the play is not enough, she wants to see Fan Yuntong angry and ruined in front of everyone, so she can take the opportunity to hit him, and said to Ba Chan: "It's rare to have such an opportunity, our three sisters go to serve the heroes of Bayan to wash their hands, how about it?"

Ba Chan smiled and said, "Okay!" Mengyu heard this, so she had to go with her.

The three women walked behind Ba Chong and Menglong, Ba Chong turned his head to greet the osmanthus and them, and Menglong also nodded.

Ba Chan said to Ba Chan: "Brother, let's wash your hands for you." ”

Ba Chong smiled: "That's not necessary. You have the heart to wash, wash Zheng Rong. ”

Ba Chan said: "I don't wash the dog's paws." The crowd burst into laughter.

Fan Yuntong and Zheng Rong, who were talking, also raised their heads, Zheng Rong was about to speak, Ba Chan said, "I'll wash my brother from afar." "Walk behind Dream Dragon.

Menglong was about to get up, Ba Chong smiled and said, "Brother doesn't have to be formal, we're used to it." ”

This sentence sounded very common to the people present at the time, if it was placed after the Song Dynasty, it must be a moral handle on the upper line, at that time, there were not as many stupid constraints as the later generations, and the happiness index of women in Pakistan was estimated to be higher than that in other places, of course, as long as they entered the patrilineal clan, patriarchy was still inevitable.

Osmanthus said: "The honeycomb is dirty for the master's hands, I'll wash the master." "Walked over to Ba Chong.

Seeing that Mengyu didn't know how to move, Ba Chan said to her: "Sister wash the red-faced tiger." "Dream Whisper had to pass.

A woman brought clean water, and Osmanthus first took the copper basin, squatted down, and asked Ba Chong and Fan Yuntong to wash his hands. Ba Chong kept his original position, stretched out his hand to wash a few times, and said, "Thank you!"

Osmanthus smiled: "This is the honor of the little girl!"

After saying this, Osmanthus suddenly stretched out her waist and knocked over the basin of water in Mengyu's hands that was ready to wait for her to withdraw before washing Fan Yuntong's hands.

Unexpectedly, Mengyu panicked, and hurriedly snatched the basin in her hand, and the basin full of water fell from the back of Fan Yuntong's head to his head and body.

Everyone was shocked and then laughed.

Fan Yuntong was also taken aback, and Mengyu was at a loss for a while. Osmanthus smiled: "Just wash the honeycomb mud!"

Fan Yuntong knew that it was done on purpose, but he was deflated.

There was water under him, Yun Tong was able to get up, and Ba Chong, Menglong and others also got up.

Ba Chong couldn't help laughing and said, "The brothers have two tricks, they are definitely going to make a fortune!"

The crowd laughed.

Osmanthus said to the woman behind her who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh: "Go and get more water again." ”

The woman hurriedly said something and ran away.

Ba Chan saw Zheng Rong sitting crookedly and laughing, looked at herself, and said to him: "I knew that there was this good show, so I washed it for you!"

The crowd laughed again.

Osmanthus shouted to a woman with sackcloth in her hand: "What are you still stunned about! Go find dry clothes and dry mats to change!"

Fan Yuntong said a sentence at this time: "No need, there is fire here, and it will be dry in a while." ”

Ba Chan said: "He is as strong as a tiger, don't just care about him, you and Mengyu also have water on them." Then the men returned to their seats.

Fan Yuntong was still hairy, and Osmanthus smiled at him with a hint of ridicule and schadenfreude, and said, "Mademoiselles are waiting, you guys slowly." Let's go!"

Ba Chan and Mengyu hurriedly returned the basin of water in their hands to the woman and followed. Ba Chan took a few steps forward and spoke softly to Osmanthus, Mengyu couldn't hear what they were talking about, she only felt that she was talking about Fan Yuntong, and suddenly became a little jealous.

After entering the courtyard, the three women hurriedly greeted several ladies, and then dined.

It was not the first time that Fan Yuntong saw E Guihua showing such a smile, and he was a little weak in this smile, because this smile was accompanied by a two-person bickering, and E Guihua was anxious and said a sentence: "Taigongwang also slaughtered cattle in Chaoge and sold rice in Mengjin! Jumping from Caoluodou to Yuluodou, what grievances do you have! You are a gourd with a golden foreskin, just on the outside and weak on the inside! You can't defeat yourself, what kind of hero are you! If you want to be a true hero!"

He had to admit that this beautiful woman, who was about a year older than himself, had seen through his heart, and in front of her, it was like naked, as if she had pinched her life and could not move, and he had a feeling of hatred and love for her.

Osmanthus grew up beside Eren, accustomed to officialdom, it was inevitable to hear and witness, and unconsciously learned some tricks to control people, she saw that Fan Yuntong actually cared about the life experience of a homeless child, no matter how tightly he was wrapped. But her starting point is not to control this man, but to truly love and desire this man who is unique to her, and believes that she is almost the only woman in the country who can make him a true hero.

Menglong saw Yun Tong standing in place and was a little stunned, and said, "Sit down, the mat has been changed, and the dry clothes have been delivered." ”

Fan Yuntong sighed secretly: "I can't figure it out, why is she Eren's daughter?" sat down slowly, picked up a can of wine, and laughed: "Drink!"

Don't talk about anything else.

That night, Yu Mengyu slept in the warm and comfortable quilt in the mansion of the Marquis of Citrus, and had a dream: he dreamed that he was playing a swing in the Sisi Garden of Hu'an Palace, and a pair of winged birds flew happily around the swing.

When I woke up from a dream, I thought in my dream: "The winged birds come in pairs, one is called Qing'er and the other is called Hong'er." Thinking of this, I didn't feel happy, and said secretly: "Hong'er! I heard my mother say that Fan Yuntong's nickname is Hong'er, this dream is not a gods' hint that I am a natural pair with him." ”

The girl was pregnant with spring, couldn't sleep anymore, thought about that person over and over again, and firmly believed that Fan Yuntong must be the man arranged by the gods for her, and since then all her thoughts have been on him, and she has prayed for the blessing of the gods many times.

After the condition of the marquis was stabilized, Mrs. Yu's mother and son returned to Hu'an Mountain.
