Chapter 12: Peony

The Anli Building on the side of the main hall of Ruian City, which is the residence of the four young masters of the Ji family, although it is separated from the residence of the mother Mrs. Qingning, it is also under the supervision of the lady at any time, and no one dares to exceed the rules.

At this time, it was ten o'clock in the evening, and Mrs. Qingning's second son, her twin brother Ji Lanhai, was anxiously waiting for something in the hall of Anli Building, and he didn't have time to change into a military uniform, or get up and walk around the door, or probe his brain in the seat uneasily, and ask the waiter next to him from time to time: "Haven't you come back yet?" ”

The waiter didn't know how many times he had answered, he just looked out over and over again, and replied over and over again: "The third young master hasn't come back yet." ”

Lan Hai sighed anxiously, his twin brother Ji Yunshen is one of the most favorite men in the world to mess around, I thought that he had restrained himself recently, but he didn't expect to play tonight until this time and not return. Lan Hai had to pray at this time that Madame would not think of inquiring about them tonight.

However, the more scared things are always more likely to happen, just as he was anxiously waiting, a few people came to the door, he hurriedly got up, and when he saw that it was his mother, Mrs. Qingning, he hurriedly saluted: "Madam, why are you here?" ”

All four sons call Qingning "Madame" rather than "Mother", which is what Madame Qingning demandsβ€”in her eyes, their courtiers are more related than mother-son blood.

Seeing that he had time to change his military uniform, and seeing that he looked nervous and in a trance, Madame guessed a few points at once, and only asked, "Yunshen went to drink again?" ”

"No, no! Madam, you don't know, Yun Shen has not been drinking a drop of alcohol recently, and he goes back to Ruian City every day, either practicing foreign language speeches or practicing archery, and he is very obedient, really! Lan Hai explained to his younger brother Yunshen again and again, seeing that his wife didn't seem to believe it, he hurriedly added, "I promise you, Yunshen who walks in through this door must be sober!" If not, I'...... I ......"

Before Lan Hai could think of the content of the oath, there was a sound of the car engine turning off outside the door, Lan Hai saw this, and hurriedly rushed out before his wife found out, and hurriedly asked, "Is Yunshen back?" ”

The little guy said while opening the door: "It's the third young master, it seems that I have drunk a lot." ”

When Lan Hai heard this, he couldn't help but gasp, and his wife also walked over from behind him, Lan Hai was thinking about how to argue with his wife, and at this time the little girl added: "Oh! It turned out that Master Night Wind had also arrived. ”

I saw that after the car door opened, a Sven man in a white military uniform helped Yun Shen, who was already unconscious, to get out of the car, Lan Hai hurriedly came over to support him, and whispered to the man in white military uniform: "Night Breeze, aren't you on duty today, why are you here?" And why did Yunshen drink so much? ”

The night breeze carefully handed Yun Shen into Lan Hai's arms, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is in high spirits today, and called Yun Shen and the general, from dinner to now, Madame has always disliked Yun Shen's drinking, Your Majesty is afraid that Madame will blame, so he specially asked me to send him back to explain the situation." ”

Lan Hai breathed a big sigh of relief: "Thanks to you for coming, otherwise this kid doesn't know what to suffer tonight." ”

With a smile on his face, Night Wind walked a few steps forward to Madame, and saluted: "Madam, Night Wind is coming to disturb again." ”

Madame also raised a smile and said, "Ruian City is your second home, what do you want to disturb?" Stay here tonight, but ...... Aren't you on duty tonight? ”

The night breeze told Madame the reason for the incident again, and Madame looked at Yun Shen, who was so drunk that she muttered in her mouth, shook her head and said, "He is serious about drinking for His Majesty's affairs, and it is difficult for you, Lan Hai, and His Majesty to protect the three of them like this." That's it, you all rest early, I'll go first. ”

The two saw off the lady together, and Lan Hai and the waiter helped Yun Shen to walk into the house, turned back to the night breeze and said, "Go find Ling Tian, let's go first." ”

"Well, be careful."

Seeing off the two of them, Night Wind looked upstairs, and sure enough, as he expected, the familiar figure was halfway out of the stone railing, with an uninhibited smile on the corner of his mouth, and shouted at him: "Idiot, aren't you on duty?" ”

The night breeze is still smiling, but now his smile is less restrained, it is relaxed and happy from the heart, and he responded loudly to him upstairs: "Your Majesty gives me a holiday, what, no?" ”

Upstairs, he laughed and "snorted", rushed down from the stairs, and joined him.

Anli Building was lively, but Yuyang in Anming Building on the other side was very quiet, a person was stunned all night, and went to bed early, but because he slept too early, he woke up completely before dawn.

In the early morning, the sky was just white, and there was a layer of mist shrouded in Ruian City on the mountain, like a fairyland, Yuyang looked out from the balcony and saw that there seemed to be a good scenery in the woods in the middle of Ruian City, so he wanted to take advantage of the lack of people and sneak into the woods to take a walk.

Yu Yang changed into a light light blue and white Yao suit, carefully opened the door, and saw that there were no maids guarding the door, thinking that it was done, he never thought that as soon as he closed the door, he saw two maids standing at the door of the next room, which was originally uninhabited, which startled Yu Yang.

The two maids saluted her, and she smiled awkwardly, and went downstairs as if nothing had happened, toward the woods that she had been thinking about.

Although it was still early, the two maids did not dare to forget the instructions of the man in the house, and one of them entered the room, walked to the sleeping man, woke him up, and said, "The lady who lives in the next room has gone out, and she has gone downstairs alone. ”

The man immediately woke up and replied, "Change my clothes." ”

At this time, Yu Yang walked downstairs with her skirt and walked downstairs quickly, she didn't expect that there were many people walking around in the hall of An Ming Building so early, but since she had already gone downstairs, it was not quite right to go back, she had to take advantage of no one to notice her, and walked out of An Ming Building with steady steps and pretended to be casual, and walked forward for a distance into the path in the bushes, and came to the woods in the center of Ruian City.

Yu Yang asked the maid beside her, there is no name here, it is called the forest, and there are many plants in the south that she has never seen before. After walking along the path for some distance, the sun had risen slightly, and the sky was getting brighter, and a few rays of sunlight penetrated into the treetops, shining mottled on the ground, and also shone on the dewdrops hanging on the flowers that Yuyang had never seen before, shining with a clear light. The air was filled with fresh aromas, and she had long been fascinated by this world that was different from the scenery of the island.

It turns out that this is the world outside the island, the flowers here are not fumigated by the heat and humidity, and the straight petals with a cold touch are not like the flowers transplanted on the island, barely dying, Yuyang originally thought that the soft petals and the slight rotten breath on the island are "flowers", until this moment she knew that the flowers were not fragile at all, they were vigorously raising their heads, and they were blooming without fear of wind and rain.

After walking for a while in the dazzling woods path, she came to a wide clearing, so suddenly that Yu Yang was taken aback, and stood in place, slowly turning around and looking around, until she looked up, she realized that it was actually a circular garden of several large trees growing towards a place.

After a few circles, Yuyang no longer knew where he was now, and the rising sunlight penetrated the dome of the tree garden more wantonly, and the mist shone in a few rays of sunlight in the forest, like an ethereal fairyland. The birds also like it, the crisp chirping is an irregular rhythm, playing the spring morning song indiscriminately, chirping, chirping, they are noisy, but it makes the tree garden more peaceful.

She really didn't know how to enjoy the joy of the moment more, she closed her eyes and sniffed the fragrance of flowers in the air vigorously, eager to put the fragrance in the air in a bottle and take it with her.

"You like flowers?"

Suddenly, a gentle voice as gentle as the spring breeze came from behind him, and his voice blended into the warmth of the woods, so that Yuyang couldn't react for a while, slowly opened his eyes, turned around in a daze, and saw a man in a Yao costume standing in front of her, she still didn't react, just asked suspiciously: "Huh?" You are? ”

The man showed a faint smile, walked up to Yu Yang, and asked again, "Do you like flowers?" ”

Looking at the man in front of her, Yu Yang couldn't tell if she was still in the dream of returning to sleep in the early morning, and even more doubted whether she had broken into the territory of the forest god - she had never seen such a clear-eyed and radiant man.

The light cast by the sun reflected in his sheer black hair, his smiling face was clear and fair, and his long, thick eyelashes lined with a pair of translucent black eyes, even though he had the same handsome and handsome features, it was impossible to take the eyes off his eyes, which shone like obsidian, which were fascinating.

She stared at him blankly for a long time, until Yu Yang's face flushed a little, and then she hurriedly looked around and replied, "I, I, I...... I'm just, just passing through...... Come and see the flower ......."

The man followed her line of sight, and when he saw her looking at the budding bud in a daze, he showed a bright smile and said to her, "But...... It's not the season for peonies to bloom yet. ”

As soon as the man said it, Yu Yang found that he was staring at the buds that had not yet bloomed, looked at him embarrassedly, and said with an embarrassed smile: "That...... So when will it bloom? ”

"It's about a month, but if you want to see it, you can do it now."

"Huh? Right now? ”

Yu Yang looked at him suspiciously, and before he could comprehend the meaning of his words, a gust of wind suddenly blew from his side, Yu Yang was startled, and hurriedly narrowed his eyes and dodged back. The wind stopped, and Yuyang looked at him cautiously, wanting to ask him what was going on, but the man just laughed. Yu Yang looked at the peony bush behind him, and saw the buds everywhere like a group of girls in various flower skirts, slowly stretching their bodies and blooming.

"Flower ...... Flowers blooming? ”

Yu Yang was surprised, and stepped forward to take a closer look, those buds seemed to be fast-forwarded into time, growing rapidly from the small bones of the cuisheng, stretching out the sepals, and in an instant, they were like fireworks exploding all over the eyes.

"This is ......" Yu Yang looked at the man with a look of incredulity and asked, "How did this happen?" ”

The man put away the pale green qi in his hand, still with such a gentle and warm smile, and explained to her: "This is wood spiritual power, I just give these peonies enough power to make them bloom faster." ”

"Spiritual power? Is this spiritual power? I thought that spiritual power was used to beat people, but I didn't expect such gentle spiritual power. ”

"Spiritual power is the power of nature, that is, the power inherent in all things in heaven and earth, and most of the time it is quite gentle. However, you don't seem to know anything about spiritual powers...... Are you a civilian? ”

When it comes to identity, Yu Yang realized that this person was wearing a black and white Yao suit, the fabric used was a high-quality red region weave silk, and the fine embroidery on the clothes was exquisite and luxurious, even if it was a simple dress, it looked as elegant as a dress on him, and this person was extraordinary, and had spiritual power, Yu Yang guessed that this person might be a son of a noble family, or an official with a higher rank than himself, and hurriedly saluted: "The lower official failed to greet the adult in time, and please forgive the adult!" ”

The man smiled, his voice was full of soft comfort, and he helped her up and said, "No need to be polite, I was reckless, and suddenly appearing behind you must have scared you, right?" ”

"I ......" Yu Yang looked sideways at his slender and slender hand, and could feel that he was gentle even with the strength to help her, and then looked up at his face that had been carefully sculpted by the heavens, and was speechless for a while, so she could only take a difficult look away from his eyes, take two steps back, thinking that she couldn't stay here any longer, she saluted again in a panic, leaving a "rude" and ran away.

The man didn't have time to stop her, so he had to look at her back and shout to her, "By the way, my name is Night Wind, we will meet again!" ”

Yu Yang heard what he said, but she didn't understand why she was so flustered, she didn't dare to look back, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and strode in the direction of An Minglou.
