Ruan said that day that he was going to visit his new neighbor, but there was no follow-up, and he forgot about it when he was drunk.

Now that she's free, she might as well go and take a look.

Thinking like this, Su Yao asked Bai Lu to prepare a courtesy, and instructed the kitchen to cook more dishes, and if the master next door was there, if he hadn't eaten yet, he could invite him to come to her house to sit down.

Half an hour later, several guards carried the salute and followed Su Yao to the plaque with the word "nameless" on it.

"Miss, this master is so strange, why can't he have a name?" Bai Luqi said: "How can someone who can buy a garden next to Miss's mansion be a nobody?" ”

Su Yao also wondered that she had been invited to visit the garden by an old man who had lived here before.

"Originally, this garden had a name, and this 'nameless' should have been hung by its new owner."

While the two were talking, the guards who went to knock on the door heard the movement inside, spontaneously took a few steps back, and stood in two rows beside Su Yao.

The people who came to open the door were also dressed as guards, and their appearance was somewhat similar to the style used in the capital, which was somewhat similar to the people brought by Su Yao.

However, the big families in Wuzhou mostly hired the family to protect the home, and although there were guards in the officials' homes, they were also dressed in simple clothes like Hu Xianling's family.

But the guards who opened the door in front of him, the materials used for their robes, and the scabbards of their bracers were all exquisite and luxurious.

Su Yao and Bai Lu glanced at each other and reached a consensus invisibly.

Fortunately, the guards who opened the door were quite humble, and after asking them where they came from, they politely invited Su Yao and his party in.

"Miss Su, please sit down for a while, our master is still dealing with some things."

Su Yao nodded, and inadvertently saw that the people serving tea were all guards, and she was surprised in her heart, and asked.

"Don't there be any girls in your master's house, why are all men serving outside?"

The guard replied: "There was also a girl living in our master's house, but then the girl left, and the maidservants in the family were slowly dismissed. Nowadays, there are only some elderly servants in our house, who specialize in chores, and do not entertain guests on weekdays. ”

According to the guards, is there only one person living in this garden?

"It's okay," Su Yao put down the tea thoughtfully and said with a smile, "I'm just asking casually." ”

The guard bowed respectfully, stepped aside, and sent someone else to pass the word.

After Su Yao finished speaking, her eyes wandered slightly, and she landed on the pavilion where she could see her courtyard.

She paused for a moment and read out the words on the plaque in front of the pavilion.

“…… Lingyun Pavilion. ”

In the main hall is a pool of living mountain water, taking the mountain stream spring, because of the rain a few days ago, the water that fell was turbulent.

The cool air, along with the fragrance of flowers coming from the courtyard next door, brushed Wei Jingji's face together.

He stood on the side of the rockery, his body motionless, his eyes falling on the woman sitting in the hall.

Liang Yuan said: "Isn't Your Highness going to meet the county lord?" ”

There was silence for a long time.

Wei Jing couldn't help but think of everything he had witnessed in the past few days.

Every man around her, she was touched by other men with a smile, and every look she looked at others, bit by bit, all came to his mind.

His calm eyes flashed with a dark color that was extremely oppressive.

His expression remained unchanged.

But the force on his hand gradually increased, and the stones shattered into dust in his hands.

The birds perched on the trees were frightened and fled in a hurry, leaving only a few strands of white feathers.

For a long time, the deep darkness at the bottom of Wei Jingji's eyes was slowly suppressed.

Su Yao was just a stone's throw away.

He almost couldn't help but insert it hard into her life.

"It's been three years."

The wind spreads the flower letter, and the rain is wet with spring dust.

He had never been so close to her.

Wei Jing spoke slowly, with a wry smile on his face, and his eyes were dark.

"If she knows it's me and leaves again, where am I going to look for her next time?"

Liang Yuan was only silent.

……

When Su Yao returned to his house, he was still thinking about the owner of the garden next door.

She couldn't help but tell Mu Ruan about it, and then leaned back in her chair and said to herself:

"Am I having a closed door?"

When Mu Ru'an heard this, he was a little interested: "It doesn't count." He let you in the door, he should have no ill will towards you, but after treating you as a guest, he makes excuses not to see you, full of contradictions, everywhere eccentric, what a strange person. ”

"I forgot about the new neighbor next door, but what you said today made me really curious," she said, "and even showing his face is secretive, and I want to see what he is hiding." ”

After speaking, Mu Ruan threw a peanut in his mouth with eagerness, "You wait, when I see him, I will draw a portrait of you." ”

She was in a panic, looking for something fun to do.

Su Yao said: "He doesn't see anyone, how do you go to see him?" ”

Mu Ruan snorted twice: "This is not simple, of course it is to set up a ladder and turn it over directly." ”

“……”

"I don't believe him is still masked in his own house."

Su Yao was still joking, looked at her back, bent over and said, "You still have injuries behind you, take it easy." ”

——

There is a pond in the backyard of Hu County's Ling's house.

Because Hu Ning'er's leg injury was not yet complete and she couldn't sit for a long time, Su Jiao taught her to play for a while and then took her to sit by the pool.

At this moment, it was time to rest, Su Yao and Hu Ning'er were sitting at the stone table in the pavilion, right opposite the back of Hu's study.

Ning Er held a snack in her hand and complained: "Master, my mother has been in charge of me so strictly recently, and she has to say a few words to me when I laugh loudly during the day." ”

Mrs. Hu didn't look like such an old-fashioned and stern person, Su Yao chewed slowly, and asked, "But your mother has encountered some troubles in the past few days?" ”

Ning Er glanced at the study in a ghostly manner, leaned towards Su Yao, and said in a childish voice: "No, it's because of a distinguished guest in our house." ”

Su Yao thought of the man in the carriage he saw at the gate of Hufu that day, and paused for a while and said, "Do you often come to your mansion?" ”

"Uh-huh! The mother said that he was a senior official in the capital who had come to handle the case, and he wanted to stay in our Wuzhou for a long time, but Ning Er went to take a look, and he was a big brother who looked like a fairy. ”

As she spoke, Hu Ning'er pulled Su Jiao's sleeve and pointed to the study, "If I guessed correctly, he must be in the study, Master, look at it, just that tall shadow......

Su Yao looked in the direction her finger was pointing, but before she could see anything, she heard Ning'er cry "ah".

After a while, Ning Er quickly climbed down from under the stone bench with her hands and feet, and walked quickly in another direction.

"Sister!"

Su Yao hurriedly finished the pastry in his hand, hurriedly cleaned his hands from the basin held by the maid, and followed Ning'er.

Ning Er chased after a young girl, about the same age as Su Jiao, the appearance of a small family of jade, I heard that Hu Xian Ling had two daughters and a son, and Ning Er was the youngest, so this was his eldest daughter Hu Jing'er.

Sure enough, Ning Er grabbed the girl's shirt, and her little face was staring at her with a serious look.

"Eldest sister, my mother said that she would not let us go to the outer courtyard during the day, where are you going? If my mother finds out about it for a while, she will definitely punish me together. ”

Hu Jing'er saw that Su Jiao was also coming, her face turned red, and she went to pull Ning'er's hand holding the corner of her skirt, "You let go, I'm just passing by, someone is looking for me, can't I pick up someone?" ”

Ning Er said slyly: "Where are you passing?" Ning'er didn't say, Sister, where are you going? ”

Hu Jing'er panicked all of a sudden, said a few random words, broke free of Hu Ning'er's hand, and turned back.

Ning Er ran over and hugged Su Yao's legs, and said softly: "Master, look, I just said that fairy brother is very good-looking, right?" I've stopped my sister many times in the past few days, and she wants to sneak a look every time! ”

Ning Er's voice was a little proud, and the volume was a little louder.

And the position of the two at this time is much closer to the study, only separated by a wall.

Su Yao remembered Hu Ning'er's mother's instructions to Hu Ning'er, squatted down, made a silent gesture with her index finger, and said with a smile: "Be quiet, didn't you say that your distinguished guest is in the study......

Ning Er hurriedly covered her mouth, Su Yao was afraid that she would be tired from running for a while, so she stretched out her hand and pondered how to hold her.

Then, Ning'er was obediently picked up by Su Yao.

When Su Jiao was about to leave, Yu Guang suddenly caught a glimpse of Hu Xianling walking out of the study behind a person.

Because of the low terrain, she looked up through the corner window and happened to see a bag hanging from the man's body.

Familiar patterns, stitches, patterns.

In an instant, there were turbulent waves in Su Yao's heart.

Her pupils constricted suddenly, and she stared at the bag without blinking, and for a moment a thousand thoughts flashed through her mind.

The familiar silhouette in the carriage, the eccentric neighbor, the distinguished guest of the Hu Mansion.

"Nameless" said from the mouth of the palace guard, the girl of the master's family.

The mess was cleared up in an instant.

Ning Er found that Su Yao's hand holding her was trembling slightly, and she was a little overwhelmed, and said in a panic: "Master, what's wrong with you?" Is Ning'er too heavy? ”

It wasn't until the sound of approaching footsteps faded away that Su Yao slowly put down Ning'er.

She calmed down for a while before she blinked and said, "It's fine." ”

"Master suddenly remembered that I still have some things today, and Ning'er will practice first, okay?"

Hu Ning'er nodded and said with concern: "Master, is there anything uncomfortable?" Ning'er will find a doctor for you to see, okay? ”

Su Yao lowered her head and rubbed her forehead, "Ning'er is good, the master is fine." ”

……

I don't know when it rained again, the garden with flowers and trees was covered with rain and mist, the air was cool, and the wisps of mist gently moistened Su Yao's face and neck.

There is also a four-story terrace in her garden.
