Lily of the valley peony also tasted a small bowl each, and the sour, spicy, salty and fragrant taste made them want to stop. Peony praised vigorously.

Peony followed behind her with a box of cold noodles, Wang Shu was in a good mood and hummed a song, ready to go back and leave the house tomorrow. The affairs in the field are too much to delay, and she must eat the sweetest watermelon in July this year!

"It's the first time that the slave maid knows that Mama Yuan is so talkative. In the past, when I looked at her majestic appearance, I thought why I couldn't move her......" At the mention of this, Peony was a little surprised.

She has been in the house for more than ten years, and all she has ever heard about the housekeeper is how she is selfless and strict in her behavior. Even the serious hostess had to give three points when she saw her. Because of this majesty, many people are shocked and afraid of Mama Yuan. If it weren't for Wang Shu's several times to send food and Mama Yuan accepted it, she really couldn't imagine that she still had this side.

"People have likes and dislikes, and it's not uncommon to eat in one bite." Wang Shu shrugged, "Mama Yuan is upright, she is also a flesh-and-blood person." Besides, how do you know that she eats for herself? ”

Hearing this, Peony paused, looked up at Wang Shu with a faint expression, and was stunned.

Wang Shu said this, and talked about the plan to leave the house tomorrow. It was as if the sentence she had just blurted out was nothing more than an auditory hallucination. Peony's hand holding the food box clenched, and her heart beat uncontrollably: "...... What does Jun mean? ”

"I don't mean anything, just talk about it."

The two returned to Qinghui Garden, and the people from all sides also went back.

There is no simple woman in the back house of the Xiao family, and she knows everything if she does something. Wang Shu ran to the big kitchen several times, and Siyi Yuan also heard about it. However, for Wang Shu, in addition to feeling that she couldn't carry it clearly, the Lin family didn't reassure people much.

In her opinion, as a master to please his subordinates, this is self-willingness. Wang Shu is a merchant girl, why is she so skinless and faceless?

"Leave her alone." The Lin family tossed the Liu family for several days, and the depression in his chest can be regarded as a little, "An original concubine who is favored by her parents can be sold by the unfavored stepfamily, and the Wang family is a straw bag." ”

"It's a fool, and she doesn't care what she does!" Lin snorted coldly, "It's over there in the county government, that Liu Ren's wife is ridiculous, for the sake of a concubine, she actually handed a post to the mansion ......."

Liu Shi has been beaten for a few days, and it seems to have stopped, but it doesn't mean that he can really swallow this breath.

Although she is a concubine, she was also favored in her own house in the past. The degree of food and clothing is all better than that of the sisters, and the sisters are not as cared for by her father as she is. The Lin family has bullied her again and again, she is bound to seek justice!

Mama Su also felt ridiculous when she thought of Liu Ren's main room, a wife was not as good as a concubine, how humble.

"This person just doesn't have self-knowledge, does he really think that the back house of the Xiao family is her Liu family?"

When it came to the Liu family, everyone in the Siyi Courtyard sneered, "I haven't been out of the small county town of Lin'an, and I don't know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world." Do you really think that being a small official with a sesame mung bean in a broken place is really a bit human? If she doesn't teach her a lesson, she's afraid she won't know that there are people she can't afford to mess with. ”

Lin likes to listen to this, his delicate eyebrows are raised, and he snorts softly in his nose.

Mama Su saw that she was happy, and after thinking about it, she still said: "It's better to find a reason to get people out." Toads can't bite people and disgust people. These rural village girls are always bouncing in front of their eyes, especially the Wen family of the Zhuxin Pavilion Horse Merchant. Didn't Niangniang want to send a letter to the old lady in Beijing? Why don't you mention it to the old lady and see if the old lady can help press it. ”

After that, she lowered her voice and said: "Although the master has been abolished, the position of the prince, and the princes in the capital are still not qualified. Whether the position of the East Palace will return to the master in the future, I can't say. In the final analysis, the eldest son of the master is still best from the mother's belly. ”

Lin's eyes darkened, he glanced in the direction of the outer courtyard, turned over and lay down with his back to Mama Su angrily.

Wang Shu, who was treated as an idiot, didn't care at all, and ate two bowls of noodles even when she returned to the house.

I don't know if it's because of the cold noodles for the first time this year, or if her skills are super good today, and it's so delicious that she wants to cry. This is because there are no chili peppers, if you give her a pound of chili noodles, won't it be delicious and delicious?

I don't know if I go to heaven or not, Xiao Yanxing in the outer courtyard was stimulated by this sour and hot and strong face, and his forehead was sweating.

The spiciness of dogwood is nothing to Wang Shu, but Xiao Yanxing feels that it is already very spicy.

After eating a few teas, Mama Yuan had to persuade him not to eat if he couldn't eat it, and saw that his master had a bowl of noodles to the bottom.

Mama Yuan: "......"

After eating two bowls of noodles in one go, the young man in the monk's robe gargled his mouth elegantly, took the handkerchief handed by Mother Yang and carefully wiped the corners of his mouth. The cold noodles are sour and spicy and very appetizing, and I use a lot of them if I am not careful.

He stood up and walked around a few times, but he didn't feel enough. He also instructed Mo Sui to take the sword and go to the bamboo forest alone.

Mama Yuan was very happy in her heart, and suddenly felt that this Wang family's Xiaojun was really looking for it.

However, what is even better is that on this day and night, Mama Yuan, who had given up her dream of having an heir, found that the master had gone to Qinghui Garden.

At the same time, Wang Shu had nothing to do, and was lying by the window looking at Mao's instructions to give her a 'dowry'.

Originally, she was going to pack her luggage and prepare to send some of her clothes to the newly purchased house outside the house. When I flipped it, I accidentally turned out two small yellow books, no, spring/palace/picture. She looked at it with a curious mentality, but she didn't expect that the author of this book was a god, and her understanding of that aspect had reached an extraordinary level.

Even if she has read it all over the world, Wang Shu has never seen such an abstract illustration.

It can be seen that Mao really doesn't want to teach her personnel, and the stickman fights are not so outrageous!

Just as she turned the page, she was fascinated. A dark shadow fell overhead, looming over her. Wang Shu blinked, raised her head, and met a pair of calm eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

Wang Shu: "...... The two children debated the day. ”

CHAPTER XVI

There was silence in all directions, the moon hung high in front of the window, and the sound of frogs in the grass and trees.

The candle flame brightened the room, and a gust of wind blew into the house, swaying the candlelight. Pull the already slender figure more and more upright. Wang Shu's eyes widened as she looked at the person who suddenly appeared in her room, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that there was no one in the room.

Peony and lily of the valley are particularly eye-catching, and they will never come to disturb at this time.

"Two children arguing about the day?"

“…… Do you look at this twisted line, does it look like a big sun? ”

“……”

Xiao Yanxing's gaze followed her words and fell on the atlas. Raised an eyebrow almost invisibly. The twisted lines are indeed a little difficult to understand, but some clues can still be seen.

Looking at each other, Wang Shu silently closed the booklet. To be honest, she didn't quite understand how Xiao Yanxing could appear in her house.

Having nothing to do to get around?

You can't come late at night to find a meal partner, right?

“…… Father? ”

Xiao Yanxing nodded, and sat down opposite her with a natural expression.

Wang Shu's room is not big, a couch by the window. A large screen is erected in front of the bed, dividing the room into two small but confined spaces. At this time, just sitting face to face, Wang Shu could smell the sandalwood on the man opposite.

Looking at the beauty under the lamp, the more you look at it, the more amazing it becomes.

Xiao Yanxing's beauty Wang Shu has seen it. At this moment, the candlelight reflected half of his face, and the slender eyelashes pulled a slender shadow on the bridge of his high nose. His eyes were pale and resembled a lake in the candlelight. The lip color is also like a smudge of vermilion from dark to light, with a dewy luster. Wang Shu restrained her gaze and warned herself to be honest.

However, the impact of this man's complexion is too strong......

Xiao Yanxing also came over on a whim.

When people came here, they didn't alarm anyone, but they just thought of it and came over. At this time, his eyes still fell on the book under Wang Shu's hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up as if he were nothing.

Wang Shu simply took the book next to him and covered it. After a glance, I found that this book was also a small yellow picture.

“…… Dowry from the family. "She had to explain.

"Hmm." Xiao Yanxing replied lightly, for some reason, it was inexplicably hot.

In fact, what is the situation of the Wang family, long before Wang Shu entered the mansion, Mama Yuan investigated it clearly. Even if he heard that Wang Shu's dowry was only two springs/palaces/pictures, he didn't move his brows.

Peony brewed two hot teas at the right time and brought them in. Afraid of disturbing the master's good business, the tea retreated as soon as it was put down.

As soon as the people left, the house became quieter. It was so quiet that Wang Shu was a little hairy.

The wick of the candlestick crackled, and the night grew darker.

Wang Shu had long been prepared to be kicked out of the mansion when she chose one or two in the future, and she didn't think about any contact with Xiao Yanxing at all. I have to say that his sudden appearance in her house tonight gave her quite a fright. Secretly glancing at his face, Xiao Yanxing's expression was faint, and he couldn't see any thoughts.

I saw him pick up the cup and take a shallow sip of tea, as if he was at home.

…… But on second thought, isn't this his own home?

For a long time, no one spoke. Wang Shu really couldn't figure out what this person was thinking, and she was inexplicably a little like sitting on pins and needles.

After thinking about it, she took the initiative to find something to say and introduce her collection to Xiao Yanxing.

"Yes."

As soon as Wang Shu heard that he was interested, she immediately became energetic.

Qinghui Yuan is not her small courtyard in the past, and there is no private treasury. The seeds dragged back from Wang's house were reluctant to be placed elsewhere, so they were all stored in the corners of their bedrooms.

At this moment, Wang Shu turned around and went to the inner room and opened her treasure box.

The seeds were divided into categories, and Wang Shu only took two of them.

Things were placed on the table, and she said with great interest: "These are my private treasures, and there are no ones outside." ”

Xiao Yanxing glanced at the small bags in which they were packed, except for the wheat seeds, the bags of seeds were quite unfamiliar, and he couldn't tell what kind of seeds they were. His gaze couldn't help but fall on Wang Shu, whose eyes were shining.

Wang Shu did not wear makeup on her face at this time, and she looked very clean without facing the sky.

Half of her jet-black hair was tied up with a red ribbon and the remaining half was draped softly over her shoulders. The clothes are also neatly dressed, and her dress is even a little conservative. Thanks to the blessing of natural beauty, even if she is unkempt, this girl still looks elegant and moving.

"Does this master know?" Wang Shu grabbed a small handful of black seeds in the palm of his hand, and held them up to Xiao Yanxing like a treasure.

Although Xiao Yanxing didn't feel the slightest frivolity in Wang Shu, he was still not used to getting too close to young women. The face subconsciously leaned back a little. In an instant, he looked at Wang Shu's clean eyes, and knew that he had reacted too much.

After a pause, he fixed his eyes on the seeds.

As a prince, Xiao Yanxing has been familiar with all kinds of ancient books of literature and history since he was a child, and he has never been slack or biased. Not only is he familiar with the classics and history, but he also knows a little about agriculture. Every year, he is not a show, he is not perfunctory like other princes, but he personally went to the field to plant.

After carefully identifying it, he opened his mouth: "This is the seed of a cold melon." ”

"You recognize you?" Wang Shu was surprised. Watermelons are not common in this era, and many people don't know them. I didn't expect this master to be a knowledgeable person.

"What's wrong? Do I recognize these oddities? Xiao Yanxing was amused by her surprised appearance.

Of course, it's strange, this year is not the next generation, watermelon is a rare thing. If Wang Shu remembers correctly, in many dynasties, watermelons were only a tribute to the palace and the court. Some officials from slightly inferior backgrounds may not be recognized.

As soon as her heart moved, Wang Shu's premonition became stronger and stronger.

She glanced at Xiao Yanxing. Although Xiao Yanxing didn't have much movement, whether it was his movements or expressions, he had a kind of elegance and nobility carved into his bones. Others can't learn it, and the bearing is really extraordinary. Wang Shu recalled the plot of the book "The Noble Girl of the Cold Family", the prince of the Yuan Dynasty who made a comeback and later ascended the throne seemed to be imprisoned in the wilderness of the northwest.

Lin'an County is not a wild place, but it is indeed far northwest. Wang Shu has always had a good memory, and she remembered that the prince of the Empress Yuan should not have been imprisoned at this time.

glanced at Xiao Yanxing again, but it was really hard not to doubt his identity because of this person......

Seeing that Xiao Yanxing was about to come over, Wang Shu immediately looked away.

“…… But you're not right. ”

When it comes to her profession, Wang Shu inevitably has a lot to say, "This is a cold melon seed, but it is not an ordinary cold melon seed." Do you know that today's cold melons are all green, juicy but bitter varieties, right? This is different, this is a very sweet red gourd seed I selected. My father spent a lot of money to get the original seed from a merchant in the Western Regions, and then after six years of cultivation by me, I got such a small bag, which I couldn't buy outside! ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yanxing couldn't help but be interested when he heard this, "The sweetness is very high? What's a high law? ”

"It's a lot sweeter than ordinary sugar water, and it tastes like a faint fragrance. It not only quenches thirst, but also diuresis, reduces swelling and relieves fatigue. If it can be planted...... Master, you'll know if you've tasted it with your own mouth. ”

Wang Shu said this, and suddenly glanced at him, "But it's a pity, the cultivation of cold melons pays attention to the season, and it is not easy to plant after the season." ”
