In the spring of the seventh year of the Great Calendar

With a crisp cry, another little Langjun descended in the backyard of the Cui family.

Although this is not the first child in this generation, Mu Jiaojiao is still very excited to learn that she has an extra little grandchild under her knees.

"This is Daddy's tenth grandson, the older generation all say that it is perfect, today I will ask Daddy to give the child a name, so that this perfect name can be fulfilled!"

Cui Pu stroked his gray beard, looking at this little doll who was waving her little hands and screaming in her swaddling clothes, and suddenly felt that time was like an arrow, and time was like a shuttle. Before he knew it, he already had ten grandchildren!

Looking back at Mu Jiaojiao beside her, the two looked at each other and smiled: "Why don't you name the child? You are the child's grandmother!"

Mu Jiaojiao shook her head and said, "If I start, I will naturally have to pick a word from the herbs." But the children of this generation are destined to not be able to start in the field I am good at. So, it's better for you to come!"

"Yes. Cui Pu shook his head and thought for a while, "Since he is the tenth grandson, let's give him a protective word!" I hope that when he grows up, he can work with his brothers and sisters to maintain the glory of our Boling Cui clan all the way." ”

Cui Hu?

Mu Jiaojiao spelled the child's name and surname together, and suddenly felt her heart shrink, and a strange feeling came to her face.

At this time, Cui Pu turned his head again and smiled at her: "Lady, what do you think of my name?"

"It's good, it's good. Mu Jiaojiao nodded hurriedly.

In the blink of an eye, Kojuro Cui Hu grew up.

This child follows Mu Jiaojiao's temperament, although he is talented, but he has a withdrawn temperament since he was a child, and he is extremely unsociable. But maybe it's the next generation, but he and Mu Jiaojiao have an unusual relationship.

Da Langjun and his wife also thought that the old father and mother were old, and they could not always serve around, so they simply sent Shilangjun over and let the children do their filial piety in front of their parents on their behalf. Therefore, Kojuro-kun's childhood and youth were almost spent in Fanchuan Villa.

For this grandson who was raised by himself, Mu Jiaojiao naturally loves him very much. Even Cui Pu, who has always looked down on his sons, likes this grandson who has a very similar temperament to Mu Jiaojiao.

Therefore, when he saw that Xiao Shilangjun was depressed because he failed in the imperial examination, he was rarely anxious.

"What should I do? Shiro eats little these days, doesn't say anything, and is depressed all day long, how can this be good?"

"This kid just has too much on his mind. He is still so young, he will not be ranked once, and he will take the test again next time. With his talents, he will definitely be able to win. It's just that now he's got into the tip of the horn and can't pull it out for a while. Give him some time, and you'll be fine. Mu Jiaojiao said lightly.

"I naturally know that time can dilute everything. But now, seeing that he is not happy, everyone is in a bad mood, and I can't be happy! This great spring has been disappointed in vain, what a pity!" Cui Pu said anxiously, and his eyes rolled, "You say, do you want us to drag him out for a walk and let him see the flowers and plants outside, maybe he can be in a better mood?"

"Forget it, you dare to forcibly drag him out, do you believe that he will be closed for the next month and no one will be seen?" Mu Jiaojiao said angrily.

"I believe it. He's just as dead-eyed as you, so it's not surprising that he would do such a thing. Cui Pu nodded hurriedly and whispered.

Mu Jiaojiao's face sank. "What do you say? Say it again!"

"No, no, I didn't say anything!" Cui Pu hurriedly waved his hand, and then squeezed out a smile to grab her hand, "Lady, Shilang listens to you the most." Now that there is no other way, you can only persuade him. You're going, aren't you?"

He has already said this with a shy old face, so what else does she have to say? And to put it in her heart, she may be able to harden her heart to her son and daughter, but now to her grandson, Mu Jiaojiao found that she still committed a common human disease - that is, she couldn't help but cherish this child, and was reluctant to see him hurt even a little.

Therefore, she still took the initiative to come to Kojuro-kun's room.

"Grandmother!" Seeing Mu Jiaojiao coming in, Lang Jun, a young man who was meditating by the window, quickly stood up.

Mu Jiaojiao walked over, looked at the child's lonely face, and sighed lightly: "It's the Qingming Festival soon, your grandfather and I plan to go to the outskirts of the city for a walk, do you want to go with us?"

"Since my grandfather and grandmother are gone, my grandson should accompany me. Kojuro-kun hurriedly said.

Seeing that he agreed so happily, Mu Jiaojiao could be regarded as relieved.

On the day of the Qingming Festival, they really prepared the carriages and horses, and went to the south gate of Chang'an City to play.

Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao are both old and don't like to move around. So after getting out of the car and walking, they asked someone to find a place where the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, spread out blankets, put red clay stoves and other things, and then sat down comfortably to eat and drink. Kojuro-kun naturally sat aside.

Cui Pu saw that he was still bored, so he said, "It's boring to ask you to sit here with our two old guys." In this way, you go and walk around, and you can take a good break by yourself, as long as you come back around the time. ”

Kojuro-kun shook his head. "My grandson doesn't go anywhere, so I just stay here with my grandfather and grandmother. ”

"If I tell you to go, you will go! I can easily be alone with your grandmother for a while, who told you to be an eyesore here?" Cui Pu blew his beard and glared unhappily.

Xiao Shilangjun was stunned, and looked at Mu Jiaojiao in a daze. Mu Jiaojiao smiled helplessly: "You just go for a walk! Your grandfather has this problem, you just let him go." ”

Xiao Shilangjun got up at this time: "Then the grandson will go for a walk." Grandparents and grandmothers, please be here patiently and wait for your grandchildren to come back, you must not wander around, you know?"

"Yes, yes. How old are we, who doesn't even understand this little truth?" Cui Pu waved his hand impatiently, "Why don't you hurry up?"

Xiao Shilangjun was so urged that he couldn't do it, so he had to get up and salute hurriedly, then turned around and left.

And as soon as he left with his front foot, Mu Jiaojiao suddenly pulled Cui Pu to stand up. "Let's go!" she said excitedly.

"Where are you going?" Cui Pu was puzzled.

"Follow Shiro and watch the excitement!" Mu Jiaojiao said.

Cui Pu snorted disdainfully: "This kid is like a stuffy gourd, how can there be any excitement?"

"Not necessarily. Mu Jiaojiao pursed her lips and insisted on dragging him away. Cui Pu struggled a few times, but after all, he couldn't resist Mu Jiaojiao's insistence, so he still went with her.

The two of them sneakily followed behind Kojuro-kun all the way. This kid has been in a trance-like lately, and he hasn't seen much improvement this time. Now that he was being followed by the two of them all the way, he didn't even notice it. Slowly, Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao also began to swagger directly behind him not far away.

Xianxian followed him all the way, Cui Pu's feet hurt when he walked, and his old face was also stretched: "I'll just say, he's such a boring person, how can he have any adventures?" Let's go back and rest, drink a cup of tea and wait for him to come back after shopping!"

"Then you mean that I'm so boring, and I shouldn't have had any adventures in this life?"

Cui Pu's shoulders shrank, and he immediately stopped talking nonsense.

The two of them continued to follow Kojuro-kun forward.

Finally, after walking for a while, the three of them went around and around, and somehow they actually arrived at the gate of a small courtyard. It is the time of spring, the small courtyard is ingeniously planted with peach blossoms, many peach blossoms in the branches shouting full of spring, and a few branches leaning out of the courtyard wall, spreading spring to the outside of the courtyard.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Shilangjun's eyes finally had a little more affection.

I saw him walk back and forth around the courtyard a few times, and finally walked up to the door and knocked lightly on the courtyard door.

"What does he want to do?" Cui Pu asked in a low voice, hiding behind a fence not far away.

"I guess I want to ask for a glass of water to drink!" Mu Jiaojiao said.

Over there, after knocking on the door several times, I finally heard the sound of light footsteps. With a soft creak, the courtyard door did not open, but was slightly opened from the inside. But through this gap, Mu Jiaojiao clearly saw a corner of the pink dress - the person who came was a little lady.

"Who?" and then, the delicate voice confirmed her guess.

Xiao Shilangjun hurriedly saluted: "A certain person went out of the city, passed by the precious land, suddenly felt thirsty, so he wanted to ask for a glass of water to drink, and asked the little lady to make it convenient." ”

"I see, you wait. ”

The sound of light footsteps faded away, and after a while, it turned back again.

Immediately, the courtyard door finally opened, and a pair of slender hands held a small cup and presented it to Kojuro-kun. "Lang Jun, please use it. ”

"Thank you. Xiao Shilangjun hurriedly took it, and inadvertently lowered his head, and was stunned when he saw the face of the little lady.

Sensing his gaze, the little lady hurriedly lowered her head and urged delicately: "Lang Jun, please use tea." ”

"Oh yes, thank you little lady for the reminder. Xiao Shilangjun reacted at this time, and hurriedly lowered his head to eat tea.

Just after eating a few bites, he couldn't help but look up, and saw that the little lady was blushing again, it was really as beautiful as the smallpox in the courtyard.

A small glass of water, no matter how slow you drink, will quickly run out. Holding the empty cup, Xiao Shilangjun's gaze was reluctant to withdraw from the little lady.

When Cui Pu saw this, he whispered: "Since you have fallen in love with others, what are you still reserved? Hurry up and talk! If you can't even take this little lady today, don't go home at all!"

As soon as his words fell, he heard Xiao Shilangjun say: "After walking all the way, I suddenly felt a little tired, I don't know if I can ask for a place in your mansion and sit down for a while to rest?"

"Hahaha, it's really worthy of my Cui Pu's grandson! I have the demeanor of the past!" Seeing this, Cui Pu was overjoyed, clapping his palms and laughing. Fortunately, Mu Jiaojiao reacted in time and quickly covered his mouth.

Over there, the little lady heard this, and she was even more ashamed.

She glanced at Kojuro-kun when she wanted to say goodbye, and quickly turned around and left.

"Little lady, your teacup ......"

Kojuro-kun shouted in a low voice, and hurriedly chased after him with a teacup.

This singing and harmonizing is really smooth and tight. When Cui Pu saw it, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh: "It's really the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient! This year's little Langjun and the little lady are too unrestrained, how difficult it is for us to talk to a little lady alone!"

"Didn't you always brag about how romantic you were before?" Mu Jiaojiao said coolly.

Cui Pu laughed dryly again. "That...... It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it again. Lady watch the play, let's continue to watch the play!"

Actually, there's nothing to see now. A pair of children have entered the courtyard, unless they run over to look at the courtyard gate, what can they see? Mu Jiaojiao shook her head, then got up and said, "Let's go, go back!"

"Ah, this thing is a little interesting at first, why do you want to go back?" Cui Pu was naturally reluctant.

It's just that Mu Jiaojiao has already left, and he can't see the excitement of his grandson anymore, so he can only seize the time to take a few more looks, and hurriedly follow Mu Jiaojiao's footsteps.

The old couple went back and sat down for a while, and then saw Kojuro-kun back.

He is back now much more energetic than when he left. Needless to say, his chic steps are self-explanatory, and even his eyes, which have been dim for several months, have jumped a little bright, and the corners of his eyes and lips are slightly curved upward, indicating that he is in a good mood now.

Seeing this, Cui Pu was about to make a joke, but Mu Jiaojiao quietly pinched him, and he reluctantly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"Why don't you let me ask?" Cui Pucai complained unhappily when he returned home.

"Why should we meddle in the junior's affairs? Let him deal with it himself. Perhaps, there will be a lot of surprises in the future!" Mu Jiaojiao said meaningfully.

Cui Pu listened to it and immediately became interested. "Lady, do you know anything? Tell me about it!"

"I don't know anything, I'm just waiting to see how many surprises our little juro can bring me!" Mu Jiaojiao said.

Cui Pu flattened his mouth. "You're getting worse and worse, and you're bullying me!"

"That's right, I don't bully you, who else can I bully?" Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly and poked lightly on his forehead.

Cui Pu took advantage of the situation and drilled into his arms. "I don't care! If you bully me, then you will be responsible for calming me until I am in a good mood! Otherwise, I will not follow!"

Burst!

At an age, he is still playing like this, but it is really unbearable. Mu Jiaojiao couldn't bear it anymore, so she laughed out loud.

When Cui Pu saw it, he made even more trouble.

Hearing the movement of his grandfather and grandmother, Kojuro-kun just shook his head weakly. However, as soon as she closed her eyes, the face of the little lady today appeared in front of her eyes, and her smile was extremely vivid, as if she was close to her. Couldn't help it, his heart also swelled with a sense of honey, and he laughed stupidly.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed.

When it came to the Qingming Festival, this time without the instructions of his grandfather and grandmother, Xiao Shilangjun offered to accompany them on a trip. As for the location of the trip, it is naturally outside the South City Gate.

Accompany his grandparents for a walk, and then sit down, Xiao Shilangjun didn't need Cui Pu to be a villain again, so he took the initiative to say: "Grandfather and grandmother will rest here first, and grandchildren will go out for a walk." I heard that there were many peach blossoms in the vicinity, so my grandson went to break one and came back to put a bottle in my grandmother. ”

Hahaha, this kid has exposed his purpose so quickly!

Cui Puqiang held back the smile in his heart and nodded: "Since that's the case, then you can go!"

Kojuro-kun hurriedly left.

Cui Pu gave Mu Jiaojiao a look: "How about it?

"Of course you have to chase. Mu Lingling said.

So, the old couple sneakily followed their grandson's steps and killed them outside last year's small courtyard.

This year's peach blossoms are still blooming. However, Kojuro-kun went to knock on the door for a long time, but he didn't get a response. After waiting patiently for half an hour, he finally confirmed that there was no one in the hospital, and the loneliness was so far away that Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao could feel it personally.

"Cut, since you have a heart for other people's little ladies, why do you have to wait a year to come? A year, who knows what will happen?" Cui Pu complained in a low voice.

Mu Jiaojiao just shook her head.

Lonely and wandering outside the hospital for a long time, Xiao Shilangjun finally accepted this cruel truth. However, he did not turn his head away, but took out the pen and ink from the bag he carried and wrote a poem.

"Can you see what he wrote?" asked Mu Jiaojiao in a low voice.

"Although I'm old, my eyes are still very good, you listen to me read it to you!" Cui Pu immediately said, "Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the faces of the people were red. ”

"The human face does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. Mu Jiaojiao continued softly.

"Hey, you saw it too?" Cui Pu hurriedly turned around.

Mu Jiaojiao smiled: "Yes, I saw it." ”

hurriedly wooed Cui Pu again: "Hurry up." ”

"Ah, I haven't seen enough yet!" Cui Pu was still reluctant, but he was still dragged away by Mu Jiaojiao.

Fortunately, the old couple on the front foot went back to sit down, and the little Shiro Jun on the back foot came back with a soul. Seeing him like this, Cui Pu almost wanted to mock, but he still held back under Mu Jiaojiao's cold gaze.

As for the peach blossom that was promised to Mu Jiaojiao, naturally there was not even a shadow.

Mu Jiaojiao asked, and Xiao Shilangjun looked like he was about to cry, which made Mu Jiaojiao have to comfort him for a long time.

After going back, Kojuro-kun obviously began to wander out of the world again. This little appearance made Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu feel distressed.

"Why don't we help him?" Cui Pu quietly discussed with Mu Jiaojiao.

"No, I don't. His own business must be done by himself. Mu Jiaojiao said coldly.

"Yes. Cui Pu nodded, and didn't care about it anymore.

Two days later, after coming to say hello in the morning, Xiao Shilangjun said: "My grandson has an appointment with someone today, and I have to go out, so I won't accompany my grandmother to study medical books." ”

Sounds like a joke!

Hearing this, Cui Pu hurriedly squeezed his eyes at Mu Jiaojiao. Mu Jiaojiao also nodded with a smile: "Since that's the case, then you can go!"

Kojuro-kun hurriedly went out.

As soon as the people left, Cui Pu jumped up again. This agile outstretched hand, where does it look like a person who is over the age of six?

"Lady, let's chase it again!" he took Mu Jiaojiao's hand and said.

"I don't have to chase it this time. Mu Jiaojiao said.

"Why?" Cui Pu was puzzled.

"Because, this time the show will be delivered to the door. Mu Jiaojiao said meaningfully.

Cui Pu frowned, very puzzled. It's just that Mu Jiaojiao didn't explain, which made him very resentful.

However, his resentment was quickly resolved. Because Xiao Shilangjun had only been out for half a day, he came back in a hurry! When he entered the room, he knelt down in front of the old couple: "My grandson has something to beg my grandparents to decide!"

"What's the matter?" Cui Pu asked hurriedly.

"My grandson has a sweetheart, and my grandson wants to marry her!"

Oh, my God!

Cui Pu couldn't help but glance at Mu Jiaojiao again, but saw her smiling shallowly, and there was not much difference on her face.

Forget it, isn't it asking her grandson yet! Cui Pu pursed his lips and quickly grabbed his grandson and began to interrogate.

Xiao Shilangjun is also honest, and he really started things last year, and then to this year's Qingming Festival, and today.

It turned out that he couldn't bear it today, so he walked to the small courtyard full of peach blossoms. As a result, the knock finally resounded, but it was an old man who came to open the door. After hearing him report to his home, the old man couldn't stop crying, beating his shoulder and crying: "Do you know that you killed my daughter?"

Xiao Shilangjun was shocked, and hurriedly asked, only to know that it was originally from last year's Qingming Festival After meeting, the little lady was worried about him, and waited at home every day but failed to wait for people. On this year's Qingming Festival, the little lady just went out to visit relatives. When he came back, he saw the poem he had put on the door, and he was so sad that he didn't eat or drink for several days, and now he has died.

Xiao Shilangjun also regretted it after learning about it, and begged the old man to let him in to see the little lady for the last time. The old man agreed, and when he saw the little lady lying on the couch and still looking like a peach blossom, Xiao Shilangjun was sad and hugged her and cried bitterly.

He grew up with Mu Jiaojiao, and naturally learned some medical skills. When he was crying while holding the little lady, his fingertips touched the veins on the little lady's neck, and he found that there was still a little faint beating, so he knew that the little lady was still alive, so he hurried to the rescue. Then, the little lady woke up again.

The old man was overjoyed when he saw this, and the little lady saw him and slowly recovered her spirits. The three of them sat opposite each other and said a few words, and Xiao Shilangjun offered to marry the little lady as his wife.

"Her name is Jianniang, and she is also from a scholarly family, with good looks and elegant conversation, and her grandfather and grandmother can call her to take a look. Speaking of the little lady, the corners of Xiao Shilangjun's eyes and eyebrows were full of affection, as if he wanted to make the whole house full of peach blossoms.

By the way, this time he came back, but he brought a large handful of peach blossoms, delicate and charming, fragrant and attractive.

Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu glanced at each other, and both of them smiled.

"In that case, then call your father and aunt too, let's visit his house together!" Mu Jiaojiao said.

Xiao Shilangjun was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed out to find his father.

Since the children have developed affection for each other, and the little lady who descended to the mother is really good-looking, it can be seen that the tutor is very good, Mu Jiaojiao and Cui Pu are very satisfied with her. The parents nodded, and Da Langjun and his wife did not object. So, this family affair was vigorously handled.

After getting married, Xiao Shilangjun and Jianniang still live with Cui Pumu and Jiaojiao in Fanchuan Villa. The little couple is like glue, and the little life is very sweet. The mother was gentle and obedient, could read and hyphenate, helped Mu Jiaojiao sort out and correct the medical manuscript, and also saved Mu Jiaojiao a lot of trouble.

On this day, she came to Mu Jiaojiao's side again to say goodbye, Mu Jiaojiao called her to sit down beside her, and then took out a brocade box and handed it to her.

The mother was puzzled: "Grandmother, what is this?"

"You can open it and see. Mu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

When she opened it, she saw a jasper hairpin lying inside. The hairpin is carved into a peach blossom shape, and a small character is engraved on the hairpin tail.

"Is this a hairpin that anyone used?" she asked curiously.

When your grandfather was young, he had a close relationship with a famous prostitute named Junjun in Pingkangfang, Junjun loved peach blossoms very much, and this hairpin was the monthly money that your grandfather had saved for a whole year before he bought a piece of mutton fat and jade, and ordered someone to carve it for her, and Junjun once liked it very much. It's a pity that later, your grandfather married me, and Junjun was ransomed and taken away by the bustard's mother, and the two of them have been separated from each other ever since. Before leaving Chang'an, Jun Jun entrusted someone to return this hosta to your grandfather, and your grandfather has always taken it with him. Mu Jiaojiao said.

"Is that so? What about that gentleman lady?" asked the lady hurriedly.

"She's dead, and she's still losing her life to save me. Mu Jiaojiao sighed, and said the rest of the matter again, "After your sister-in-law and I escaped, Queen Duan's people caught her, and she didn't want to be humiliated anymore, so she committed suicide." It's just that there was a war at that time, and there were corpses everywhere, and later we sent people to find her bones, but we couldn't, so we could only set up a tomb for her. We know that she left a daughter named Feng Niang, who has been looking everywhere for all these years, but she has found many Feng Niang, but none of them are her daughters. Perhaps, Feng Niang has also died in the Anshi Rebellion! It's just that Junjun's kindness to us has always been remembered. The first time I saw you, your grandfather and I didn't know why, we both felt that you were very kind, and faintly felt that you seemed to have the shadow of a monarch in you. No, he rummaged through the cabinet and found this hairpin, and told me to give it to you. Even if we can't find it, then you have to help us continue to find it, and don't give up as long as there is a little hope, remember?"

"Yes, I remember. Jianniang nodded hurriedly and hugged the box tightly.

The two of them talked for a long time before they turned around and left.

She didn't go to Kojuro-kun, but turned around and went into her father's yard.

"Daddy. She whispered, handing him the box.

When he saw the hosta in the box, the old man's hand couldn't help shaking, and his eyes suddenly burst into tears.

Hurriedly hugged the hosta and the box tightly in his arms, and then he waved his hand: "Okay, you go back! ”

"Yes, I know. Jianniang hurriedly responded, stepped back gently, and went to the door. And at the moment when she turned around, she clearly heard a crying call into her ears—

"Ah Niang ......"

Mu Jiaojiao's side.

After the mother left, Cui Pu came over.

"Have you said everything that needs to be said?"

"It's all said. Mu Jiaojiao bowed his head, "The hairpin was also given." Now, she should have been handed over to Feng Niang!"

Cui Pu shook his head and chuckled: "The phoenix seeks the phoenix, the phoenix seeks the phoenix, the phoenix is the male, the phoenix is the female, why didn't we think of this layer at the beginning?"

"Don't talk about us, even Jun Jun didn't even think of it, right? If she knew that she was actually a little Lang Jun at the beginning, would you still listen to them like that?" Mu Jiaojiao said in a low voice.

"Definitely not. Cui Pu shook his head.

"So ......"

"Hey!"

Cui Pu sighed and hugged Mu Jiaojiao. "Fortunately, it took us so many years to finally find her child, which can be regarded as making up for the guilt of her. Fortunately, her child has also been looking for his mother, and he has not forgotten his roots. ”

"yes, it's okay, it's okay. Mu Jiaojiao nodded, and leaned on his shoulder.
