A song often used to invigorate and boost morale, the rhythm of the "Mountains and Rivers Years", was played out euphemistically by Zhang Yingying, detailing the sadness and sadness that are always ignored in the song, such as the sudden light rain in the hot summer, the light breeze of uneasy blood and sweat, at the end of the song, she fell generously and blessed, "See and laugh." ”

Everyone praised it.

Master Murong was busy with these praises and pushed the previous verbal war far away, and smiled like a chrysanthemum, "Tomorrow is the birthday of the elder of the pavilion, here I thank you all for coming from afar to celebrate his old man's home, we may not have held any festive events in the Peach Blossom Land for a long time, this time please enjoy yourself, it's not early tonight, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow, everyone rest early." ”

He raised three glasses in a row and drank them all with the crowd, and then as if avoiding the plague, he pulled the Hong family and the reluctant Murong Tian and left in a hurry!

"What kind of banquet if you don't fit in!" Hong Chenrui snorted heavily, glanced at Liu Ya, and walked away as if mockingly.

Seeing this, Fan Datong raised his glass and said, "Miss Liu, Hong Shizi likes to talk about it, don't care about his nonsense." He paused before he said, "I still remember the rejection of Du Ergongzi, I really just wanted to make amends to you just now, first, for not thanking you for saving your life in time, and second, for your recklessness at the beginning." ”

"Hmm. Liu Ya replied indifferently, took the cup and drank it all, got up and left.

**

The bright moon playfully teased the stars to cast bright light, and the willow buds walked slowly back and forth in the flickering night breeze, and when they passed a dark courtyard, they heard the weak cries for help sounding one after another, and her footsteps paused, and her voice became clearer.

Approaching tentatively, I saw a goose yellow shirt woman sitting under a cluster of green bamboos next to the courtyard gate, there was a wooden barrel sprinkled with mud yellow powder on her side, the strong smell of sulfur was unwilling to be lonely and teased the nose of the willow bud, she walked out of the shadows, "Have you been bitten by a snake?"

"Yes—" The ugly face of the woman in the goose yellow shirt was happy, but before she could finish her weak words, she fainted.

Liu Ya, who was planning to save people, cleaned the wounds on her feet with three times and five by two, bandaged her with a bandage reserved for her own use, and took out a special medicinal cigarette bottle with jade texture from her arms and put it under her nose, and when she showed signs of awakening, she fed a small red pill.

"The slave and maid thank Liu for saving her life!" the woman in the goose yellow shirt thanked her again and again after recovering from her brief coma.

Seeing that she wanted to kowtow, Liu Ya stopped: "It's just a matter of raising your hands." Then he casually asked, "How do you know who I am?"

"The slave maid is the eldest girl pomegranate next to the second lady, I heard Da Shao mention it at noon today, King Ye and Liu Jian visited. ”

"I see that there are a lot of servants here, how can I sprinkle sulfur and repel snakes and insects, and I still need a personal maid like you to do it?" Liu Ya looked at the very elegant dwelling inside and outside, and the exquisite and warm hot mountain spring scenery, and the purple hibiscus dotted among them, and inexplicably remembered a very unbeaten figure.

"I don't know that the hibiscus garden is the courtyard where King Ye once lived, and no idle people are allowed to enter or leave on weekdays, so the slaves and maids are responsible for driving snakes, insects, rodents and ants, cleaning or repairing and sewing. Pomegranate smiled, "Originally, I was supposed to tidy it up again in the afternoon, but because I learned that King Ye would stay with Liu Jian in Dashao's Trade Wind Garden this time, the slave maid went to do other things first." ”

She stood up with the bamboo, and tentatively used her injured foot to exert force, "Liu's medical skills are really powerful, I don't think anything is wrong anymore!"

"Because the snake that bites you is not very venomous, as long as you treat it in time, it will be fine. ”

Pomegranate gratefully blessed herself and said, "The life-saving grace of the willow test, the slave and maid really don't know how to repay it-"

"These small injuries are not easy for me, you don't need to remember them, you should go back and rest first, and then come back to spread medicine another day. Liu Ya left in response to her repeated thanks.

**

Back at the Trade Wind Garden, Liu Ya wants to bathe.

Lychee, the maid who was assigned to serve, took her to the semi-circular building built in the backyard against the low mountain.

Seeing bursts of white mist dancing in the wind from afar, Lychee introduced: "This is the only living mountain sulfur hot spring in the valley. ”

As soon as the precise iron door was opened, the strong smell of rotten eggs arrogantly stimulated Liu Ya's keen sense of smell, but Lychee seemed to be used to it, calmly took her to a small hot spring room with a warm and simple layout, "This place only receives the second lady on weekdays, and the spring water drains down from the mountain, and then exports from the device under the pool, it is very clean, you can enjoy the soak with confidence." ”

"I'm used to being alone in the shower, so it's good if you wait for me outside. ”

"The slave knows. ”

There are still wounds on the shoulders of Liu Ya that have not yet healed, so they only soak most of their body in the shallow place, the heat is steaming, and the feeling of comfort seems to rush from the soles of their feet to their hearts, smoothing the dissatisfied water chestnuts, half of their bodies are lazily lying on the marble that is covered with a small towel to separate part of the temperature, and when they are drowsy, they hear a gentle knocking sound from next door, and then the cool tone that is familiar and underbeaten.

"Don't fall asleep. ”

"......" Liu Ya has already adjusted to his ghost, and continues to close his eyes without ups and downs.

He said to himself, "After you left the banquet, a few more people from the mansion came. ”

Liu Ya listened to his chattering speech, and felt more and more that Zhou Chengcheng was calling for himself with the strength of breastfeeding, so he had to distract himself by talking, "Characters like Ge Lao, what kind of grandson-in-law do you want, why do you choose this roundabout way to recruit relatives?"

"The Hong family is quite selfish, and has looked for a lot of objects for Murong Sa and Murong Tian over the years, but he ignored Murong Zhao and his sister, and the matter was pressed into the heart of the elder pavilion, he intended to stay away from the government, but the Hong family instigated Murong to return to Beijing for well-being. ”

"He won the lord Longen, he is in a high position and has countless people who want to win over, why don't you want to continue?"

Liu Ya seemed to hear a sigh, and he said: "Murong Master's original wife, Murong Zhao's biological mother, the Bian family, died in the open and secret battle of the court, although the Murong family was not condemned at that time, but the Bian family was afraid that their existence would drag them down, so they chose to commit suicide, and then the second uncle of Murong suddenly went crazy, and the elder took them back to the Peach Blossom Land to live in seclusion. ”

is in a high position, and there are indeed countless people who want to win over, but there are also many people who want to fight.

Liu Ya didn't know how to continue for a while, so he heard the sound of rushing water sound wildly, and then he smiled and said, "If you soak it again, you will have to take off a layer of skin." ”

In a trance, a picture of a beautiful man taking a bath, full of color and gas, Liu Ya opened his eyes suddenly, and roughly kicked away the fantasy of Mo (Ling) name (person) and his (harmful) wonder (shame), and when the heat seemed to climb up his cheeks, he quickly climbed out of the pool to dry his body and dress.

As soon as he opened the door, Lychee handed over a cup of chilled honeysuckle tea and said with a smile: "After soaking in the hot spring pool, you should drink more tea." ”

Liu Ya swept the straight corridor while drinking, but she never saw Yuwen Qiu's page, so she asked, "What about that guy?"

Lychee was stunned for a moment before she reacted and said, "Do you mean King Ye, he has never liked the smell of sulfur pools, so he just came out of the room and went out with a teapot." ”

"Oh. "I don't like to soak it, why what, Liu Ya always feels that the heat on her cheeks has rekindled.

Stepping out of the iron gate, I saw an elegant purple, carrying a teapot, leaning against the Fusang tree, and smiling happily at her.

Like a fool, although he thought so, Liu Ya still walked up to him, raised his hand, and the yellow powder fell on them with the cool night breeze, and in an instant, the smell of rotten eggs disappeared.

Yuwen Qiuye sniffed the smell that remained in the air, like fried green tea leaves, and was different and fresh, "What is this?"

"Poison. Liu Ya coolly threw down the two words and strode forward.

He followed her step by step, "Is it poison that can only kill you?"

"It's a poison that makes your internal organs burst and bleed through your seven holes. ”

"Ya'er is reluctant to make me so miserable!"

"If you disgust me again, I will teach you whether I am willing to give it up or not. ”

"But the book says that girls like to listen to these sweet words. ”

"Other girls may be, but I'm sure I don't like it myself. ”

"What do you like to listen to?"

Liu Ya paused and looked back at him, "I like to hear the truth, even if it's very harsh at times. ”

She saw clearly the glint in his eyes, bright, hot, and elusive, and the heart that tried to inquire suddenly became afraid, and immediately retreated into the corner, and turned and walked briskly as if to hide and avoid.

Suddenly, my wrist was gripped tightly by my hot palm.

His cool voice slowly tickled into her ears with the night breeze in it, "I thought you were bold!"

"When your internal organs burst and you bleed to death through seven holes, you will know that I am not bold. Liu Ya broke away from his hand and hummed.

**

The birthday banquet of the elder Murong Pavilion is set in the evening, the noon is the dust washing banquet of the guests, and there is a tea party of the younger generation in the afternoon.

It was the dust washing banquet at noon, and Liu Ya also wanted to pretend to be sick and refused, not to mention the tea party in the afternoon, but unfortunately before the banquet began, Murong Zhao came over to urge her in person, and the look of expecting something good to happen made her very unhappy, "Today is your grandfather's birthday." ”

"After I told him about last night's reception, he was always thinking about seeing you. Murong Zhao squinted his fox-like eyes and smiled.

Yuwen Qiu, who was standing by the door at some point, knocked on the door hard, "You are in the room, how do you change your clothes?"

"I think she's very good, plain and generous. Murong Zhao looked up and down, most of Liu Ya's clothes were mainly white, and the ornaments were simple, but they were not simple and shabby, with her seemingly innate temperament, fresh and elegant.

"It's really good to be like this on weekdays, but today it's always a formal feast, and if you don't dress up again, it will be true. ”

"Makes sense. Murong Zhao said.

Liu Ya looked at the door they closed after talking to themselves speechlessly, and finally reluctantly took out a set of clothes prepared by Yuzhu from under the package they brought, and then went to the dresser, and simply put on a light makeup.

When Liu Ya went out, there was only Yuwen Qiuye outside the door, and he looked at her and smiled, "My bud is really good-looking." ”

"If—" He paused, and approached her before adding, "Add this and you'll be perfect." ”

Liu Ya only felt a flash of red light, and something similar to a hairpin was inserted into his hair, and he raised his hand to take it down, but his hand was grabbed by him.

"Let's go. A satisfied smile rolled into Yuwen Qiu's lips, "We're almost late." ”

Liu Ya was dazzled by his smile, and subconsciously followed him, and when he reacted and wanted to break free of his hand, he found that his hands were intertwined, his heart trembled, and there was a scorching temperature, and he climbed up his cheeks with great fanfare, and then raised his eyes to look at the figure that was comparable to that of an international supermodel, and his teeth bit his inner lip fiercely, forcing himself to wake up from the throbbing that he was almost falling.

She didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, but if he took it for 'fun', she could also play with him.

**

The dust washing banquet is carefully set up in the wisteria water pavilion near the lake, the warm sunlight outlines the blue lake into sparkling beads, and the cool wind tirelessly blows the splendid wisteria flower spikes, like a little girl dancing.

The banquet had not yet begun, but the host and the guests were all together, and while they were talking and laughing, someone said happily, "Here we are." ”

Liu Ya felt that a lot of eyes were on her, lively and quiet, and the focus seemed to be on the hands they were holding.

In the suspicious or surprised scrutiny of the surroundings, Yuwen Qiuye took her and walked to Murong Ge Lao to greet him, and said with a smile: "Introduce to Ge Lao, she is the new inspection willow bud of the six doors." The smile on his lips deepened before he continued, "It's also the girl I like." ”

In the gasp one after another, Liu Ya smiled indifferently, "Liu Ya has seen the elder of the pavilion, I wish you a lot of good fortune in the sea house." ”

Elder Murong Ge had just turned seventy years old, his hair and beard were white but he was still in good spirits, and he smiled kindly, "I still remember when I took King Ye back to the palace with Your Majesty, you were only ten years old, and you ran around the mountains with a shiny brain, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you were all old enough to marry a daughter-in-law!" Looking at Liu Ya, he stroked his beard with satisfaction, "Don't stand, let's have a banquet!"

After entering the table, there was no singing and dancing or performance, only simple reminiscences and mutual greetings, the atmosphere was harmonious, and the wine became stronger.

"Every time I met a new recruit, my father would talk about the glorious record set by the elder when he temporarily replaced the military department. Ji Huan of the Soldier's Mansion said.

"Yes, in a battle with the pirates of Yanmen Pass, the enemy burned the long-range weapons of our battalion, and the elder of the pavilion outwitted 50,000 arrows from Dongchu without spending a single soldier, caught them off guard, and then forced them to surrender with fire, surrendered to our Southern Han Dynasty, and became a water wall across Dongchu, but the monarch of Dongchu was angry, and even now Dongchu does not dare to attack easily!" Mo Nongxian said without concealing the adoration in his heart.

followed by a concurring round of 'commercial touting', only to listen to the old Murong Pavilion easy-going and authentic, "That's all in the past, and I still bring it up to do something, the old man believes that the Southern Han Dynasty will be able to create more beauty with you taking over the baton." He raised his glass again and drank with them, bringing to a close the feast that had been going on for a long time.

The tea party was presided over by the Hong family, who did not appear at the dust washing banquet, and was located at the end of the Wisteria Water Pavilion Corridor.

When everyone came with the steward, they saw several exquisitely dressed girls sitting around the Hong family, talking and laughing, and after greeting each other, Murong Master and the Hong family exchanged a few polite words, and then found a reason to leave, only telling Murong Zhao and Murong Sa to greet the guests well.

When they walked away, Murong Sa said suspiciously, "Third sister, why don't you see the second sister?"

"It's not that you don't know, she has always been withdrawn and cold, and she doesn't like to play with us. Murong Tian, who was sitting between the two girls, suddenly became aggrieved with a happy smile, "The maid has invited her several times, but she is uncomfortable in reply, she just wants to have a good rest, and her mother will let her go." ”

The two sisters and brothers, seeing that Murong Zhao, as the eldest grandson, would never sneer at them in front of the guests, making people laugh, and even openly sang and stabbed Murong Jiang with a poisonous knife, asking her to bear the stigma of 'not easy to get along with, arrogant and rude', Liu Ya still remembered Murong Tian's attempt to step on his own hatred, and turned his head and smiled at Murong Zhao:

"I said you, don't treat me as a friend, such a good day, your sister is uncomfortable, why don't you ask me to go and see, and I'm afraid that I will walk a few more steps and my back and legs will hurt?"

Murong Zhao's fist-clenched hand under his wide sleeves immediately let go, and Chaoyu Wenqiu said angrily, "It's not that I'm afraid that the person next to you will blame me, but my sister has been feeling unwell since yesterday, and I thought that I would be fine today after taking the medicine, but I didn't expect it to be completely cured." ”

Yuwen Qiuye affectionately brushed aside Liu Ya's disobedient hair that ran to his forehead, "My sprouts are not something anyone can call, but we live yours, eat yours, use yours, this little favor can still help you." As soon as he lowered his eyes, he looked into her clear eyes, and curled his lips, "Yes, Ya'er." ”

"Anyway, I just had a full stomach and felt uncomfortable, so I took a walk to eat and drink. Liu Ya followed the lychee waiting beside her.

Murong Sa wanted to interject several times, but they sang and harmonized more than him and Murong Tian, he couldn't insert it at all, he could only watch Liu Ya and Lychee leave Gardenia Xuan, and looked at Murong Tian's dissatisfied gaze, hateful and slanderous, fortunately, he did give Murong Jiang's cheap hooves 'medicine'!

**

Lychee gently lifted the beaded curtain of the warm-toned bedroom, and Liu Ya saw a girl with a pale face who was still captivating, leaning on the head of the bed to read, coughing low and tender, and instantly understood why Murong Tian didn't want her to go out to meet guests, and slandered, "It's so good-looking." ”

Murong Jiang raised his head suspiciously, and burst out laughing, "You are Liu Zhan." ”

Liu Ya is no longer surprised that people who have never met also know or recognize themselves, "Hmm." ”

As soon as she sat down on the edge of the bed, Murong Jiang handed over her hand and said, "I'm going to trouble Liu Jian again." ”

Liu Ya put her smile away and said, "It's not a big problem, just spit it out and take some medicine." ”

After the lychee brought the wooden pot, Liu Ya took out a painted flat-shaped medicinal tobacco bottle from his arms and put it under Murong Jiang's nose to shake it.

Murong Jiang, who was unprepared, was choked by the pungent stench and almost deprived of oxygen, and before her little face could wrinkle into a ball, she vomited, but all of a sudden, as if she had washed her stomach, the indescribable discomfort in her body disappeared, and even her throat was no longer itchy, she wiped the filth on the corner of her lips and said, "Did I eat the wrong thing?"

Liu Ya shallowly bowed her jaw, and waited for her to finish rinsing her mouth before mixing a packet of powder into a potion and handing it to her, "It's a little bitter, but the effect is fast." ”

After taking the medicine, Murong Jiang gradually felt refreshed, "Thank you Liu, you saved the pomegranate last night, and now you have saved me again." ”

"Why bother with raising your hands?" Liu Ya smiled lightly, calling the maid who was waiting outside to freshen up her.

**

In the gardenia, there are no handsome men and women with elders beside them, all of them are not restrained, or sitting in the pavilion, or standing under the corridor, or teasing the little koi in the big clay pot in the court, sipping wine and eating pastries and guessing riddles, but unlike ordinary guessing riddles, the person who guesses the answer must tell it in a riddle way.

When Liu Ya and Murong Jiang arrived, they happened to hear Mo Nongxian laughing, "'The petals are red, the petals are yellow, not afraid of the wind, not afraid of frost, the autumn wind blows the fragrance'." ”

After a while, King Qing continued, "'Open in September, do not attract bees and butterflies, let the west wind rise, frost will not wither'." ”

"'The door is still half hidden in the eyebrow moon, the spring buds are a little grass and the grass is budding, and I love to change clothes in autumn'. Zhang Yingying said crisply.

Murong Tian also said, "'Just enter the Portuguese garden with many branches, and it is in the Huayuan grass'. ”

"I'm going to be shallow. Ji Huan said, "'September Mission'." ”

Until it can't continue, it will start again from the person who finally created the riddle, which is much more difficult than guessing the bottom of the puzzle, and the most important thing is to pay attention to the flexibility of thinking and the ability to create words and sentences, but like these nobles, they have studied on weekdays, such as the flowers and plants that are usually taken out and slipped, and they can definitely play more than a dozen laps without technical content.

Just like now, all of the people present, except for Yuwen Qiuye and Murong Zhao, who were sitting in the corner and drinking by themselves, everyone 'participated' again, it was not too easy to play, Liu Ya swept over and took the next time, in exchange for a lot of appreciative eyes Murong Tian, sneered: "'Empty hands pluck the flowers on the dew, the Chongyang season is the most brilliant', I thought everyone was playing something interesting." ”

Everyone turned their faces, and they were amazed by Murong Jiang in a peach-pink Luo skirt, it seemed that between heaven and earth, only she looked forward to the bright appearance.

Liu Ya didn't mind that she would become the green leaf that set off Murong Jiang, and when she caught a glimpse of Murong Tian's ugly face that she couldn't hide, she smiled with satisfaction, but she didn't know it, her cold temperament was not inferior to Murong Jiang, who was as graceful as a peach blossom, and when she smiled, it was like a withered plum planted in the ice and snow sprouted, and even if no one appreciated it, she stubbornly bloomed the most touching flowers.

King Qing watched her walk towards Yuwen Qiuye naturally, took the iced honeysuckle tea he specially prepared, and suddenly said, "I wonder if there are any new games in the willow test?"

"It's not as fresh as it gets. Liu Yaming took a sip of sweet honeysuckle tea ceremony, "but it's better than boring poetry and songs." ”

Hu Qingming, the prince of the Chongyi Marquis Mansion, who had long been bored, yawned lazily and said, "What game?"
