In this case, Mrs. Sun doesn't want to disturb the fun of flower appreciation: "Why don't you let people build a curtain in the courtyard, which can not only block the light and wind, but also not disturb us to enjoy the flowers and cook tea, Qi Niangzi thinks it is feasible?" ”

At this time, the sun was just after dawn, and the sun was still very weak.

Sun Rujin commanded several servants beside Mrs. Sun, and soon set up a curtain in the courtyard, just in the direction of the rising sun.

The silk is relatively light and thin, and the curtain of the Sun Mansion is paved with relatively heavy soft satin, and the top of the head is deliberately thickened by two layers to shade the light.

In addition to leaving one side of the Xinyi tree for entering and exiting the flowers, all three sides are also surrounded by soft satin, which blocks the sunlight outside.

Sun Rujin looked around in the tent and glanced at He Lingjiang proudly: "Lingjiang, how is this tent set up?" ”

He Lingjiang smiled and praised: "Very good, a few points better than the curtain that others set up when they were feasting outside, Jin Niang is really capable." ”

Although this tent is not big, it may not be as exquisite and graceful as the family set up when they feast outside, but it covers the surrounding sunlight tightly, which is exactly what she wants.

Sun Rujin smiled and helped Mrs. Sun sit down: "A-Niang sits first." ”

The three of them sat down around the low table in the tent, and the servants served refreshments in a row.

Not far in front of the tent is the Xinyi flower, the full bones feel the call of spring, and bloom brilliantly in the sun, as if it is about to exhaust life and bloom wantonly. The scorching fragrance, like brocade and glow, and like the steaming purple and red clouds, is bound to ignite this February day.

The sun was melting, and the fragrance of flowers was spilling into the tent.

He Lingjiang sniffed lightly and said, "The fragrance of this Xinyi flower seems to be a little stronger than last night." ”

"It's really more fragrant." Sun Rujin closed his eyes and took a deep breath of fragrance, only to feel refreshed.

She opened her eyes and said to Mrs. Sun: "Auntie, look, this Xinyi flower also gives you extra face today, and it blooms better." ”

Mrs. Sun smiled, her eyes followed her towards Xinyi flowers, the flowers and trees were like clouds, they were really good-looking, smelling the fragrance in the air, the depression in her heart couldn't help but dissipate a little, and even her body was much lighter.

"The Seventh Lady is right, when you come out to sit, you don't bask in the sun, and this heart is much more comfortable."

He Lingjiang looked at her sideways, and sure enough, he saw that his complexion had improved a little, and the dark yellow decay on his face had retreated by two points, and the whole person also showed a bit of vitality.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the Xinyi tree that looked taller and taller in the sun, and slowly spoke: "The fragrance of flowers is pleasant, and naturally my heart is free of all diseases." This Xinyi plant in the lady's yard is really well planted. ”

"I don't know how many years have been going on?"

Mrs. Sun took another breath of fragrance, and said: "This Xinyi tree was planted by my Ah Weng himself, and there was no me at that time, even my grandfather was born not long ago. Do the math, it's been more than 60 years now. ”

She seemed to think of her childhood, and her eyes became more and more tender.

Since she could run and jump, she circled around this Xinyi, and when it was a little bigger, she knew how to lift the kettle to water and fertilize it to get rid of insects.

During the holidays, the family would always use to light an incense burner under the tree, hoping that it would protect the family from peace. This Xinyi tree can be said to have listened to her wishes and watched her grow up.

"Even now, every festival, A-Niang has to lead me and my brother to burn incense and pray under the tree." Sun Rujin said.

He Lingjiang couldn't help but be curious: "In this case, how can this Xinyi be carried here now?" ”

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "It has always been carried in my ancestral house. It's just that more than ten years ago, after the death of my grandfather, the ancestral house was abandoned, and this Xinyi tree was not taken care of. ”

At that time, Jin Niang was just two or three years old, and she took their brothers and sisters back to their ancestral house to pay tribute to their ancestors, and saw that the Xinyi tree seemed to have been struck by lightning, and the whole tree was scorched and lifeless. Even the soil around the tree has been turned out, and there is no more nutrition to speak of.

She invited a craftsman who was proficient in the maintenance of flowers and trees to come and see, but the craftsman only said that there was no help, and the tree had been struck by lightning, and all the branches were withered.

But she did not give up, and went up and down again to find that its roots were not completely necrotic, so she went to consult the craftsman again.

The craftsman did not have expectations, but said that the soil around it could not be used, so he could only move a place to plant and maintain, but when people moved a living tree and died, the tree was already in such a state, and it was impossible to survive in another place.

Speaking of the past, Mrs. Sun's tone was full of memories: "I don't believe in evil. At that time, Jin Niang's grandfather had already served in Linchuan, anyway, they all wanted to plant in another place, so I simply asked someone to transport this tree to Linchuan, plant it in their own yard, and consulted countless craftsmen and carefully maintained it. Finally, the tree came to life. ”

She looked at the Xinyi tree not far away, and smiled at the corner of her eyes: "It is said that people move to live, and trees move to death." But you see, isn't this Xinyi tree alive? It has been more than ten years now, and this tree is getting taller and taller, and the flowers bloom and fall every year, which can be regarded as decorating the scenery of my courtyard. ”

He Lingjiang nodded: "The life of the tree is really tenacious. ”

"yes." Sun Rujin said, "Therefore, we should learn from it." A-Niang shouldn't be stuffy in the room because of illness, we should be like this Xinyi. ”

Madame Sun knew that the child was trying to comfort herself, so she smiled and patted her hand and said no more.

He Lingjiang drank a cup of tea, and then asked: "The sun is just right today, why don't you see the briquettes coming out to bask in the sun?" ”

"It was naughty last night and still in its cage! What's more, its cat is also different from the kitten next to it, it has never liked to bask in the sun, and likes to be in the shade. Speaking of this, Sun Rujin couldn't help wrinkling his nose.

He Lingjiang smiled and said, "Cats are naughty, and it's nothing. It has been stuffy in the house all day long, and I am afraid that it will be boring and tight, so it is better to take it out to bask in the sun. ”

Sun Rujin glanced at her, thinking that she was afraid that the briquettes would come to catch her again.

He Lingjiang couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, I thought I was shocked yesterday." I don't touch it, and it naturally doesn't scratch me for no reason. Could it be that you have to lock it up in your house for the next few days? ”

"Yes. You came out yesterday, and the briquettes are unfamiliar. Take the opportunity to touch it more, and it won't be like that. ”

Sun Rujin turned around and ordered someone to take the briquettes out.

After a while, I saw a servant woman coming with a cage, and the briquettes were lying in the cage.

"Fourth lady, the briquette doesn't seem to be very happy to come out, and the maid is afraid that it will startle He Qi Niangzi again, so she put it in a cat cage and brought it over."

Sun Rujin got up, took the cage and put it in his hand, stretched out his finger through the iron bar of the cage angrily, and nodded its head: "Call you naughty!" Take you out to bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery, are you still not happy? ”

Briquettes lifted their eyelids, gave her a cool look, ignored her, just turned their heads and pointed their butts at her.

Sun Rujin knotted: "A-Niang, look at the briquettes!" ”

Mrs. Sun thought it was funny: "Jin Niang, why do you always compete with a cat?" ”

Sun Rujin snorted and poked it again.

The Xinyi flowers in the courtyard swayed slightly in the wind, the fragrance was great, and a gust of wind blew, and several petals were rolled up and floated into the tent, which happened to fall around the cat cage.

The briquette's pointed ears twitched, and his breath began to become agitated, and a tail stretched out of the cage wagged impatiently.

Sun Rujin didn't realize it at all, and wanted to poke it with her finger, but He Lingjiang stepped forward with an arrow and grabbed her finger: "Jin Niang, don't!" ”

Sun Rujin was startled and hurriedly took a step back.

The caged cat's claws just came out, but it pounced.

It couldn't help but retract its paws and lick it, and then its eyes narrowed slightly, and a pair of vertical pupils looked at He Lingjiang standing in front of the cage with a bit of danger and dissatisfaction.
