Chapter 14: Mu Huanran in the Bamboo Forest (1)
She involuntarily raised her hand and stroked her cheek, and her heart involuntarily jumped.
She frowned, and said to herself: "Du Zhiqing, what's wrong with you, can you look like this for the sake of a Mo Jianchen?" ”
But when she thought of Fang Cai's words, it still made her shy, she flicked her sleeves a little irritably, and vented: "Oh, what a mess!" ”
"It's all that dead girl Wan Dai, arranging these messy things, what can I have to do with someone like Mo Jianchen, he is not my brother Chen anymore."
"That's it, what do you want him to do."
With that, she walked out of the hall and into her room. But she didn't know that her cheeks were getting redder and redder.
On this day, it was a sunny day, Du Zhiqing finished practicing kung fu in the morning, and had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he was ready to go to Yunshuiju and accompany his grandfather Xiahouchen to paint together.
Flowers in full bloom, spring in full bloom, green grass, a few wisps of breeze blowing, tossing and turning the fragrance of the garden, this is the most colorful time of the year.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, I saw a quiet bamboo forest courtyard, where a young man full of energy and an old man with a hat sat in front of the stone table and stone bench, playing chess with great interest.
The chessboard, surrounded by this black, white and white chess piece, has been covered with a piece.
"Call for food!" I saw Mo Jianchen surround a white man on the sunspot, and raised his head and smiled humbly: "This game is still won by Jianchen, the old pavilion master, admit it!" ”
"Hahaha!" Xia Houchen threw down the chess pieces and laughed heartily: "Not bad, it's still your young man's chess skills, it's really a long wind and waves pushing the front waves, it's amazing!" ”
Mo Jianchen shook his head modestly and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Jianchen's chess skills are naturally not as good as the old pavilion master, but he just won two tricks from the old pavilion master." ”
"Hahahaha!" Xiahou Chen laughed aloud with his arms: "It's still fun to play chess with your kid, everyone else thinks that I am the old pavilion master, I don't dare to win, and I want to lose to me in a different way, it's really boring." ”
"Only you, the child, are the most real, and smart enough, you can fall as you want, you have never had any scruples, and you can't be so tired. The old man is blocked by you every time, but he is really happy! ”
Mo Jianchen smiled lightly and said calmly: "That's natural, if you don't show your true skills, and don't dare to play chess because you are in awe of the identity of the old pavilion master, then what's the point of playing this game of chess?" ”
Xia Houchen smiled with satisfaction: "You are still the most real child, and the old man is also the most willing to play chess with you." ”
As he spoke, he reached a pot of tea, handed it to Mo Jianchen, and said to him: "Come, let's rest for a while, let's take a sip of tea to moisten our throats!" ”
"Yes." Mo Jianchen took the teacup: "Thank you, old pavilion master!" ”
Since that day, Mo Jianchen learned from Xiahou Wandai that when Du Zhiqing would go to Yunshuiju to accompany Xiahouchen to paint, he would go to Yunshuiju to accompany Xiahouchen every afternoon.
Naturally, he wouldn't tell Xiahouchen that he came here to meet Du Zhiqing, but only told him that he had nothing to do and wanted to come here to accompany his old man.
"Grandpa, grandpa, I'm here!" As soon as I drank a cup of tea, I heard the voice of a delicate daughter's house sounding on the sheep intestine path outside the bamboo forest courtyard.
Mo Jianchen was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained calm: "Old Pavilion Master, is Sister Zhiqing here?" ”
Xia Houchen nodded and smiled: "Well, it's her, who else can hear the movement a few miles away, except for Zhiqing's girl?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Du Zhiqing had already bypassed the fence and ran into the bamboo forest courtyard, shouting happily: "I'm here, does my grandfather miss me?" ”
"Haha, Zhiqing, come here." Xiahouchen stretched out his hand and Du Zhiqing greeted: "Look who is coming?" ”
Du Zhiqing suddenly saw Mo Jianchen's figure, and couldn't help but be stunned, standing in place, not running forward, and the smile on his face froze.
However, Mo Jianchen's expression was very calm, as if everything was expected, he just nodded lightly towards Du Zhiqing, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhiqing." ”
Du Zhiqing was surprised and strange, frowned, and asked him, "Why are you here with my grandfather?" ”
Before Mo Jianchen could speak, Xiahou Chen took the first step and said: "He came to play chess with me, just right, you two children are here today, come, come and sit, you come together to accompany me, an old man." ”
Du Zhiqing hesitated, but finally listened to Xiahou Chen's words, sat on the stone bench, and was also sitting next to Mo Jianchen. But she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, so she ducked to the other side.
I heard Xiahou Chen say again: "Jianchen, this kid is really smart, every move has its own tricks, even an old man like me can't beat him, it was the back wave pushing the front wave at that time!" ”
"He'll be a good man." Seeing his grandfather praising Mo Jianchen like this, Du Zhiqing couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, and muttered in a low voice.
But her voice was too small, and neither Mo Jianchen nor Xiahou Chen could hear it. She raised her head again, and her face seemed to be displeased: "I see that my grandfather is very happy with him, so since he is with you, should I go?" ”
"Oh, who said you were gone, you kid." Xia Houchen didn't notice her thoughts, and still laughed loudly: "You two are talented children, you two accompany me together, I'm even happier, you are not allowed to leave!" ”
"That's right." Mo Jianchen also smiled: "Sister Zhiqing is the granddaughter of the old pavilion master, and no one can replace her position in the old pavilion master's heart. The old pavilion master also told me that Zhiqing's sister is smart and intelligent, and she is very likable. ”
"Humph!" Du Zhiqing glared at Mo Jianchen, snorted at him, and turned his head away.
Okay, you flamboyant Mo Jianchen, you can be a good person, but I'm not like you!
"Alright, Zhiqing." Xiahou Chen patted Du Zhiqing's shoulder again, and smiled dotingly: "Didn't you have the best relationship with you, Brother Chen, before, why are you tense when you meet now." ”
"Shh Du Zhiqing glanced at his eyes, turned his head and pinched the cuffs, and said disdainfully: "He is used to being flamboyant, what's the big deal, even your grandfather was coaxed by him." ”
"Look at what you kid said, what a flamboyant tongue is." Xiahou Chen turned his head to look at Mo Jianchen again, and his eyes were also the love of the elders for the juniors: "Jianchen is understanding, sensible and can speak, the old man likes this child very much." ”
Mo Jianchen didn't show his joy or anger, but just bowed slightly, "Jianchen thanks the old pavilion master for his favor." ”
Du Zhiqing pursed the corners of his mouth with a little dissatisfaction, as if he was aggrieved: "Look at what my grandfather said, my grandfather has him, and he doesn't care about Zhiqing anymore, it seems that my grandfather also likes the new and hates the old." ”
"Grandpa likes him so much, then let him accompany you in the future, and Zhiqing will never come again in the future."
"Silly boy, how could grandpa not care about you?" Xiahou Chen put his arm around Du Zhiqing's shoulder and his eyes were full of love: "When did you learn to eat flying vinegar, you are granddaughter's granddaughter, even if your grandfather likes him, he can't miss you." ”
"Hmph, that's pretty much it." Xiahouchen's words couldn't fill the dissatisfaction in Du Zhiqing's heart.
She turned her head again, faced Mo Jianchen, raised her head slightly and asked him, "Hey, what are you doing here, when did you come here, and how long have you been here?" ”
Mo Jianchen smiled slightly, although his face still remained humble, but there seemed to be a trace of imperceptible pride in his eyes, and he said softly: "I've been here for a while, but I just have nothing to do, and I just want to come here to accompany the old pavilion master." ”
"This cloud water dwelling is quiet and peaceful, and it is indeed a good place to refresh the mind and cultivate one's mind. Coincidentally, Sister Zhiqing, you are also here, the two of us can accompany the old pavilion master together, there are more people and it is more lively, Sister Zhiqing, don't you say? ”
"Humph!" Du Zhiqing's eyebrows moved, then turned his head again, looked at the trees on the other side, and did not speak.
Although he has always maintained respect and humility in his words, like a gentle gentleman, the cunning in his eyes still could not escape her eyes.
Originally, because of the previous plum incident, his impression of him has changed, and he is not as disgusted as he was at the beginning. But as soon as she saw him make such a polite and sensible appearance in front of her elders, she felt a wave of disgust in her heart.
She looked very different from what she looked like in front of her, they were two completely different performances, and she felt that he was pretending. As soon as I saw the look in his eyes, I knew that he must have come here for ulterior motives.
Although I can't guess the specifics, I know that his purpose is definitely not simple, and even my grandfather was deceived by him. But my grandfather believed in him, and what could he say.
Hmph, Mo Jianchen, you really know, I won't believe a word of the nonsense you say!
"Tell me about you, kid." I heard Xia Houchen say again: "Open your mouth and close your mouth to feed, why don't you even call Brother Chen, didn't you like Brother Chen the most before?" ”
Xiahouchen was originally an unintentional sentence, but as soon as the word "like" was mentioned, Du Zhiqing thought of the words he liked Wandai that day.
"Senior Brother Mo, he likes you and is trying to find a way to chase you!"
Suddenly, her face turned red again, and she didn't even dare to look directly at Mo Jianchen anymore, lowered her head, and pouted: "Grandpa, don't talk about these previous things, it was all when I was a child, and we are not children now." ”
"Okay, okay, let's not say it." Xiahou Chen didn't continue on that topic, "Zhiqing, have you learned all the techniques that your grandfather taught you to depict Danqing last time?" ”
"I've learned it all, Grandpa." Du Zhiqing nodded, then took out the painted painting and showed it to Xiahou Chen: "This is what I painted two days ago, grandpa, how is it, where do you need to change it again......
"Come, let grandpa see ......"
