6 Chapter VI
In the fine weather for several days in a row, the world suddenly changed from light green to new green, and the green trees and flowers all over the mountains were so beautiful that it was intoxicating.
The spring breeze rolled up the leaves, and Tan Zhaozhao easily suppressed the shaking Muzhen.
Footsteps sounded behind him, Tan Zhaozhao turned his head to look, Zhang Jiuling had changed into a neat beard, his hair was all tied up on the top of his head, his body was long and jade, and his eyebrows and eyes were even more heroic.
Since the last time the two talked about Chang'an, they lived in separate rooms at night, and almost never spoke except for a few words of conversation between books.
In the morning and evening, the province was settled in the morning and evening, because Zhang Jiuling was there, and they all came and went in a hurry in the Lu family's courtyard.
Tan Zhaozhao didn't even need to say much except for the ceremony, he was relaxed and comfortable.
Tan Zhaozhao also clearly understood that this ease was all because Zhang Jiuling quietly helped her block it.
Intoxicating blue sky, floating clouds, beautiful scenery of the four seasons, tranquility, isolated days.
Tan Zhaozhao sighed gloomily, he could see the end of life at a glance, and he was deeply lonely.
With scissors in his hand, Zhang Jiuling went down the steps to the rhododendron planted in the corner of the courtyard and carefully pruned the branches and leaves.
Tan Zhaozhao leaned on the pillar, crossed his arms and watched boredly. As the freshness of the grass and trees became thicker and stronger, she gradually raised her head and looked at the hair behind Zhang Jiuling.
The ends of the hair are neatly trimmed like the branches of a cuckoo.
No wonder the rhododendrons never bloomed!
Tan Zhaozhao turned his head to look around, except for rhododendrons, there were no flowers in the courtyard, and plants and trees were planted.
Zhang Jiuling pruned carefully, and Qianshan dutifully sprinkled the branches and leaves behind him. After cutting, Zhang Jiuling still has to stand in the distance, constantly watching, and make up scissors at any time.
As if sensing Tan Zhaozhao's gaze, Zhang Jiuling raised his eyes and looked at her, his gaze lingered slightly on her face, and then moved to her bun.
Tan Zhaozhao raised his hand and covered his head.
The corners of Zhang Jiuling's lips curled, a smile splashed in his eyes, Shi Shiran stepped forward with scissors, bent down slightly to look at her, and said seriously: "I have learned to trim my hair now, and I will not make mistakes again." ”
After Qianshan finished sweeping, he walked out of the yard with a branch, Zhang Jiuling pointed to his back, and couldn't hide his pride and said: "Look at Qianshan's hair, I repaired it." ”
Tan Zhaozhao looked at it as he pointed out, and the ends of Qianshan's hair were as neat as the rhododendron branches.
Reluctantly squeezing out a smile, Tan Zhaozhao refused politely: "Don't bother Da Lang." ”
Zhang Jiuling slowly stood up and returned to the house with regret. After a while, he walked out, looked at Tan Zhaozhao who was lazily lying on the table, and said, "Go and change into clothes that are more convenient." ”
Tan Zhaozhao said puzzledly: "What are you doing?" ”
Zhang Jiuling said: "It's still early, the bayberry is ripe, let's pick some." ”
The Zhang family lives in the countryside and is right outside the fields. After Tan Zhaozhao came here, he walked around the house a few times, and then he was not interested in going out.
Hearing that he could go out, Tan Zhaozhao instantly got up and said excitedly: "It's a long way, do you need to take a car to get there?" ”
Zhang Jiuling's eyes darkened, and after a while, he said, "You have to ride a horse, can you ride a horse?" How is the riding? ”
Tan Zhaozhao used to ride horses, but the country roads were rugged, she was still thinking about it, Zhang Jiuling said: "It's okay, you go to change clothes first." ”
Tan Zhaozhao happily went back to the backyard and came out in a neat Hu suit. Zhang Jiuling waited by the door of the hall, looked at her a few times, and walked in front.
When she arrived at the gate, Tan Zhaozhao saw Qianshan carrying a bamboo basket and leading a tall brown horse standing there, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
Qianshan hung up the bamboo basket and handed the reins to Zhang Jiuling.
Zhang Jiuling stroked the horse's head and said to Tan Zhaozhao: "Go up." ”
These days, the atmosphere between each other is weird, and now they want to ride a horse together, Tan Zhaozhao felt a little uncomfortable, and stepped forward.
Zhang Jiuling said: "The mountain road is uneven, and it is inconvenient to drive. Qianshan stayed in the courtyard to guard the scrolls, and you and I went. ”
Tan Zhaozhao hummed, and in order to be able to go out, he walked over with a heart. She raised her foot and stepped on the stirrup, Zhang Jiuling's strong arm supported her waist, and she sat firmly on the horse's back with one easy move.
Zhang Jiuling got on the horse in a chic manner, sat behind her, grabbed the reins and lightly clamped the horse's belly, "Sit firmly." ”
The horse's hooves pick Dada and move forward slowly.
A faint breath in my ears, a heartbeat in my back.
The sun was too gorgeous, the clouds were floating, and the spring breeze was blowing, and Tan Zhaozhao could hardly open his eyes.
The people who were working in the fields occasionally looked at them and whispered a few words.
The sound of horses' hooves, the occasional chirping of birds, is peaceful and quiet.
At first, Tan Zhaozhao stiffened and didn't dare to move, as Zhang Jiuling said, the mountain road was rugged, the horse's back was bumpy, and she swayed left and right uncontrollably.
Zhang Jiuling's slender arms wrapped around her and said in a low voice: "Lean on me, don't be afraid." ”
Tan Zhaozhao didn't want to cause trouble, so he hummed and leaned back.
The heartbeat behind him seemed to be faster, and the heavy breathing blew along with the warm wind, and Tan Zhaozhao's whole person was dizzy.
The horse went up the mountain road, and Tan Zhaozhao was forced to lean back and fell into Zhang Jiuling's arms.
Zhang Jiuling still did not move, steadily escorted her to the top of an open mountain, took the lead in dismounting, and stretched out his hand to her.
Tan Zhaozhao took a deep breath and dismounted by his arm. Perhaps it was too fast, and the soles of her feet slipped, and the person threw herself forward.
Zhang Jiuling stretched out his long arm and grabbed her.
Tan Zhaozhao's face was so red that he almost wanted to drop blood, hurriedly stood up, and explained, "I can get off the horse." ”
Zhang Jiuling bowed his head slightly, smiled, and said, "I know." ”
Tie up the horse, Zhang Jiuling came over with a bamboo basket, took out two water bladders from it, and handed her one: "Eat saliva and rest." ”
Tan Zhaozhao thanked him, took the water bladder, found a dry stone and sat down, looking at the eyes.
The hillside is not high, and the bayberry trees on the hillside are full of bayberry trees, and the grass on the ground is full of fallen bayberry.
Looking further into the distance, there is no end in sight, overlapping mountains, and the mist curls in the mountains.
The farmland and rivers under the mountain, the villages and people's houses, look as beautiful and peaceful as a paradise.
Zhang Jiuling took a sip of water, carried a bamboo basket to carefully avoid the bayberry on the ground, and walked under a tree to look up.
Tan Zhaozhao hurriedly put down the water bladder and stepped forward, Zhang Jiuling hurriedly said: "Be careful to ...... on the ground"
It's a pity that it was late, the soles of Tan Zhaozhao's feet slipped, and she had not yet come back to her senses, and she was already sitting on the ground.
Zhang Jiuling: "......"
"But it hurts?" Zhang Jiuling stepped forward and stretched out his hand to her, ready to pull her up, and asked with concern.
Tan Zhaozhao shook his head, it didn't hurt, it just was a little embarrassing.
stretched out her hand, but she didn't see Zhang Jiuling pulling her. Tan Zhaozhao was puzzled, the bayberry juice and grass mud in her hands were mixed together, dirty.
Zhang Jiuling was looking down, rubbing his fingers, obviously disgusted.
Tan Zhaozhao was angry, got up neatly, slapped his shirt casually, and stayed there for a while.
You don't have to look to know that she must be covered in bayberry juice and dirt behind her.
Wait until she goes back, will Zhang Jiuling leave her and not let her get on the horse?
Perhaps, he rode a horse, and she ran behind.
Zhang Jiuling had already walked back to the tree and reached out to pick the bayberry.
Tan Zhaozhao didn't think much about it, and stepped forward and asked, "Can you pick the bayberry here casually?" ”
Zhang Jiuling said: "This mountain belongs to the Zhang family. ”
Tan Zhaozhao sighed, and Zhang Jiuling said: "Yangmei is not unusual. Shixing is rich in bayberry, which is available in every household and can be picked everywhere. ”
After being silent for a moment, Zhang Jiuling's voice lowered a little: "Shaozhou is poor, and you can sell some bayberry when you try it, but after it is all ripe, you can't sell it for a few dollars." If you want to transport it out of Shaozhou to Guangzhou Mansion for sale, first, there is no shortage of fruits in Guangzhou Mansion, and secondly, Meiling is blocked, the road is far away and bumpy, and it is inevitable to bump into it during transportation, even if it is cold, it will have to be broken on the road. ”
Tan Zhaozhao then fell silent.
Zhang Jiuling grew up here and has deep feelings for the homeland of Shaozhou.
Just opening up the Da Yu Ridge on Meiling and opening up the north-south traffic of Lingnan Road will benefit the present generation and the merit will be in the future.
If he didn't go to the court and walk in front of the emperor, all Zhang Jiuling's ambitions would be in vain.
Zhang Jiuling saw Tan Zhaozhao grabbing the bayberry branch and looked up, she stood there looking into the distance, looking confused and stunned.
"Let's go, go back." Zhang Jiuling retracted his gaze and said in a low voice.
Tan Zhaozhao came back to his senses and saw that there was only a small half basket in the bamboo basket, so he hesitated and asked, "Do you want to pick more?" ”
Zhang Jiuling said: "No need, Aya and A-Niang have bad teeth, and they don't like to eat bayberry." The eldest lady and Erlang are them, and A-Niang doesn't allow them to eat more, these are enough, and they won't be fresh if they are put away. ”
Tan Zhaozhao asked casually: "Aunt Xiao Lu and Qi Niang, do they like to eat?" ”
Zhang Jiuling glanced at Tan Zhaozhao and said, "I don't know." If they like it, tell the servants to pick it again. ”
Tan Zhaozhao sighed, walked back behind Zhang Jiuling, and couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw him on his tiptoes, avoiding the falling fruits on the ground, as if he was dancing.
Zhang Jiuling put down the bamboo basket, frowned slightly, and looked Tan Zhaozhao up and down, she couldn't laugh all of a sudden.
"There's a mountain spring over there, go wash it." Zhang Jiuling pointed to the mountain stream on the left.
Tan Zhaozhao had a bitter face and went to wash his hands with Zhang Jiuling. The bayberry juice on her hands was difficult to clean, and she worked hard for a long time, but her fingertips still left a pale red mark.
As for the dirt on his clothes, Tan Zhaozhao could only pat the grass clippings, and the rest could not help.
Zhang Jiuling pondered for a moment and said, "You wait." ”
Tan Zhaozhao didn't know why, Zhang Jiuling had already turned around and walked towards a bush. The sound of rustling came, and she thought he was convenient, so she quickly turned her head away.
After a while, Zhang Jiuling walked over, holding a snow-white shirt in his hand.
Tan Zhaozhao said in surprise: "Where did you get the clothes?" ”
Zhang Jiuling moved uncomfortably and said, "You put it on." ”
Tan Zhaozhao Mu was stunned and stretched out his hand to take it, the underwear was especially with his body temperature, and the incense of Aoki seemed to be stronger at this time.
Zhang Jiuling said: "You can wear it outside." After saying that, the gentleman turned his back.
Affection for him is because she is dirty, Tan Zhaozhao's cheeks twitched, and she was amorous again.
Zhang Jiuling is tall, and Tan Zhaozhao put his underwear on top of the Hu suit, which is just enough to cover the dirt behind her.
Tan Zhaozhao shook the sleeves that had grown out of it, and said in a muffled voice: "Okay." ”
Zhang Jiuling turned around, saw her flicking her sleeves, pursed her lips and smiled, went to lead the horse, and helped her to get on the horse.
"Turn back." Zhang Jiuling said.
Tan Zhaozhao sat on the horse and didn't know why, Zhang Jiuling patiently gestured, "When you go down the mountain, you will rush down." ”
Tan Zhaozhao immediately understood, and sat back with a twist.
Zhang Jiuling turned over and got on the horse, pulled the reins with one hand, and held her waist with the other, and said, "Sit tight." ”
The horse hoofed down the mountain, and Tan Zhaozhao immediately leaned back, too late to be shy, and hurriedly fell into his arms and hugged his waist tightly.
Zhang Jiuling chuckled, Tan Zhaozhao's face flushed, and he hurriedly let go. The horse jolted, and as soon as she fell back, she was buried in front of him.
"Don't move!" Zhang Jiuling's breathing sank a little, and the arm on her waist tightened.
Tan Zhaozhao didn't dare to move anymore, and between his snorts, he was tightly wrapped in his breath, and his thoughts were surging, and he was in chaos.
I don't know how long it took, Tan Zhaozhao raised his head and found that they had already gone down the mountain.
Tan Zhaozhao tried to stabilize his mind and said, "The mountain is flat." ”
Zhang Jiuling hummed, but did not move.
Tan Zhaozhao plucked up her courage and was about to say a change of posture, when she saw the retreating bayberry forest, she asked later: "Hey, there are also bayberry here, why did you run so far to pick it before?" ”
Zhang Jiuling paused and said, "These belong to someone else's family, so they can't be picked." ”
Tan Zhaozhao: "However, you said earlier that these bayberry trees are not valuable, so you can ...... them casually."
Before he could finish speaking, he slammed into his chest again.
Zhang Jiuling's voice seemed to be a little embarrassed: "Don't move!" ”
