Now is the season of lotus blooming, when Geng Xingbing's master and servant arrived at the lotus pond, the sky was really slightly brighter than before, the lotus flowers in the pond had just been washed by the rain, in the summer breeze, the lotus leaves shook gently, and the transparent balls flowed slowly in the shimmer, like a moving picture, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Pingshan couldn't describe the feeling in her heart in words, she only felt that it was right to follow the girl out, her heart was no longer dull, she was much more comfortable, and even the thin sweat that had just been stuffed gradually dissipated in this gust of breeze.

Geng Xingbing looked at the lotus pond, but his whole mind was focused on the surrounding movements.

It had been nearly a quarter of an hour since they had come, and there had been no movement, so what she had heard by accident was not accurate.

Just as she was so suspicious, she heard footsteps behind her, Geng Xingbing was overjoyed, she suppressed her excitement, and couldn't help but look back.

Because of the rain, the night was much cooler, this night, Geng Xingshuang slept well, woke up early the next morning, saw that Geng Xingchen was still sleeping, and took Jinbao and Zhanpei to walk around Zhuangzi.

The scenery at the foot of Daling Mountain is very good, at this time it is summer again, the rice fields are green, the early farmers have begun to work in the fields, the small paths, the chickens and dogs smell each other, the small courtyard of the farmhouse in the distance is full of smoke, the surrounding courtyards are red bricks and green tiles, or occasionally a corner of the cornices is exposed from the dense and lush green leaves.

Geng Xingshuang was in a very good mood, walking slowly, feeling this fairly cool morning time.

There was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and without Jinbao and Zhanpei reminding him, Geng Xingshuang consciously let go to the side of the road.

After the people passed by, Jin Bao said: "Girl, it's the noble man from yesterday, is this coming down from the mountain?"

"It's so early, isn't it just dawn to go down the mountain?" Zhan Peidao.

"Hey, they didn't go back to the other courtyard, look in that direction, they went directly back to Ningdu."

"Okay, it's a little hot, breakfast should be fine, let's go back."

When Jinbao heard this, he hurriedly handed the hat in his hand to Geng Xingshuang, "Girl, bring it quickly." ”

When Geng Xingshuang went back, he ran into the housekeeper lady in Zhuangzi, who was carrying a few catties of meat in her hand and was hurrying back.

"Aunt Yu!" Jinbao hurriedly called, "What are you carrying...... Beef? Where to buy beef? ”

The housekeeper's lady turned around and saw Geng Xingshuang's master and servant, and said with a smile: "This is what Steward Zhong gave to the slave and maid, didn't the girl give silver yesterday to buy some good food?" The slave maid went to the town early this morning, but there was nothing special except pork and mutton.

The slave maid was going back to the village to buy two chickens, but it just so happened that the steward Zhong and the others didn't know where to buy a large piece of beef...... Hey, the girl should have seen it, the big group of people just now is the master who lives in the Zhuangzi of Yongkang Houfu, they went down the mountain early in the morning, and they left without even having breakfast, and this beef is not much use, so they evenly gave a few catties to the slave maid.

The girl waited, and after a while, the slave and maid would use this beef to make beef noodles, and after breakfast, they would make some beef patties for the girl to eat on the way. ”

Geng Xingshuang was about to drool when she said this, and nodded again and again, "I'm drooling what I said, Jinbao, you go and help the housekeeper." ”

Jinbaole Taotao answered, and followed the housekeeper to the back kitchen.

The lady in charge did things quickly, and it didn't take long for Jinbao to bring over with a food box, two large bowls of steaming beef noodles, fragrant.

Geng Xingchen had just gotten up, and when he saw the beef noodles, he was surprised: "Where did the beef come from?"

Geng Xingshuang repeated the words of the housekeeper's wife, and asked Jinbao again: "Is my father and mother still the third uncle, third aunt, third brother and fourth brother sent over?"

Jinbao nodded, "It was Sister Marigold who mentioned it in the past." ”

"With this bowl of beef noodles as a base, whether it is kneeling in the ancestral hall or hitting the board, it can hold up!"

Geng Yan was sweating profusely when he ate, and he was satisfied.

Jiang Shi glanced at him, "You are unproductive." ”

Not long after breakfast, Mrs. Bo came down the mountain with Yao's mother and son.

"Get on your knees!"

Xia's face was gloomy and darker than the sky before yesterday's rainstorm.

Geng Shu followed Geng Shu to lead the two little guys who were crazy, but before they could react, they were scolded by Mrs. Bo, and they subconsciously knelt down.

was dragged up by their father one by one.

"Mother, why do we kneel? If you want to be convicted, you have to explain the reasons first, right? Even if it's the Criminal Department, you have to ask a question before you draw a detention. ”

Mrs. Bo looked at Geng Yan's "don't be unreasonable" nonchalant look, and her heart, liver, spleen and kidneys were about to explode.

"You unfilial son!" Xia pointed at Geng Yan and rushed out.

Geng Yan's complexion changed suddenly, and he looked at Xia fixedly, and nodded.

"Okay, since my mother said this, then go to the yamen to sue me, heh, it's just that I've always been open-mouthed, once I go to the yamen lobby, what to say and what not to say, I don't have the eyesight to see, for example, the second brother actually framed his niece in order to shoot the sycophants of the second son of Liu, and for example, the eldest young master of our dignified Anping Bofu, in order to let his old son be promoted, please a concubine of the servant family, and want his cousin to marry a son of a merchant family who is not good looking and seriously ill, In the holy place of reading such as Licai Academy, he was like an old bustard......"

"Third uncle, that's not how things are!"

Geng Shulou endured and endured, as a junior, he shouldn't have interrupted Geng Yan's words, but Mrs. Bo's hands trembled angrily, her lips trembled, she just couldn't speak, and Yao just looked at Geng Yan fixedly, as if she was shocked by his words, and she didn't say a word, Geng Shulou really didn't want to listen to it anymore, and she couldn't let Geng Yan continue to talk anymore.

Geng Yan glanced at Geng Shulou and snorted heavily.

Geng Wen said: "Brother Lou, you disappointed me too much!"

"Uncle, aunt, third uncle, third aunt, sixth sister, seventh sister, third brother, fourth brother, there is a misunderstanding in this matter, I don't know how you inquired? Who was in the middle of the story, so that such a big misunderstanding was caused? ”

Geng Shulou calmed down a little, and bowed his hand towards Geng Wen and the others, his face had already regained his composure.

"My nephew has been studying hard in Licai Academy these days, preparing for the township exam this autumn, some time ago, Yang Siye came to me, saying that there was a question in the article that needed to be consulted, and my nephew had known him......"

Speaking of this, Geng Shulou glanced at Geng Xingshuang.

"Although Brother Tilt Mo has not been in Ningdu for the past few years, the relationship between the Yang family and our family has always been very good, plus I know that the Yang family intends to marry the fourth sister for Yang Siye, as a brother, I wanted to teach Yang Tiancheng well, but I never found the opportunity.

So that day he came to me, first asked a few questions on learning, I answered them one by one, and then he invited me out to drink, I also went because I had the intention of checking his conduct, he also went, he found a few classmates to accompany, I also called two classmates together, in a small restaurant outside the academy to eat, because a student had seen Brother Dump Mo once in Pingcheng, speaking of him, said that he is both civil and military, amazing talent, the future is immeasurable, and joked that if he returns to Ningdu, throw the fruit and the car, The scene of seeing the killing of Wei Jue will not only be recorded in the history books. ”

Geng Shulou sighed and glanced at Geng Xingshuang again, "I heard that when Brother Tanmo was in Pingcheng, when he went out to dart, he had to smear a layer of carbon ash on his face.

I also listened to the student who went to Pingcheng to say this, what the real situation is, I don't know very well, because when it comes to this matter, some people lament that the younger brother of the Mo Dynasty is too early, otherwise when he gets the middle of the spring, what kind of daughter-in-law can not marry, some people say...... said that even if you marry a princess, it is not impossible, as a brother heard this, naturally he could no longer be silent, so he said that my sixth sister is also of good character, and the uncle and aunt are even more kind and kind, and there is no grievance to the younger brother. ”
