068-A begonia

"I want you to talk more!" After listening to Baili Nuyun's words, the merchant girl reprimanded her with her eyes wide, obviously she had hated this follower named Xue Yun to the extreme in such a short period of time.

After teaching Baili Nuyun, the merchant girl asked Shi Lantao if she was hungry or not, it seemed that she had known Shi Lantao for a long time, and most of the words she said were selective, and she didn't need Shi Lantao to write at all, just nod and shake her head. Baili angrily rolled her eyes at them behind the merchant girl. Miss Shang enthusiastically kept talking to Shi Lantao, so she didn't notice the people behind her, poor Shi Lantao obviously saw it and pretended to be serious, and it was really painful to hold back and not laugh. Fortunately, Jin Yu soon came out to call her Shang sister again.

Listen to them and take the new guests out for a spin or two before lunch. Sister Shang was familiar with the terrain here, so she wanted to ask her to take someone there. That's probably why she changed into men's clothes.

The masters all went, and the rest of the small shops went to the kitchen to help. Baili Fuyun is naturally going to go.

The kitchen is at the back, passing by the guest rooms. The whole Hutang Bay is distributed in a circular shape, and there is a small pond and a lighthouse for trees and flowers in the middle courtyard. On the way, Baili Nuyun saw someone chanting the scriptures in the hut with the wooden window open on the opposite side, and the fellow man patted her and said, "That's Mrs. Hu, the master here." ”

The work in the kitchen was easier than she imagined, and Hu Tangwan did not have a lot of people. They used to just help carry some water, wash some vegetables, and have a fight with the little girl by the way. Baili Nuyun went outside to chop firewood and was surrounded by a few little girls who asked her if she was Shi Gongzi's Xiaoshi, and asked Xiao Sang if there was anything she hadn't done. Of course, Baili Nuyun didn't know any Xiao Sang, but she could guess that the little follower named Xiao Sang must be very good at pleasing girls. Although Xiao Sang didn't come, those little girls didn't want to let her go at all, but asked a lot about Shi Lantao, asked him what he usually does, and asked Shi Lantao if he had a sweetheart. Baili Nuyun couldn't answer, and those little girls said regretfully and angrily: "Why can't you ask anything?"

The people who had been waiting to travel came back, and Baili Nuyun hid on the roof alone and took a nap. Jin Yu kept asking Miss Shang to do this and that, and she didn't have time to pester Shi Lantao. Shi Lantao also searched back and forth several times, only to find that Baili Nuyun was on the roof, so he dragged her down and said that he would take her to eat. said that she was taking her to eat, but in fact, it wasn't a small restaurant where she sat in the back as a waiter. The sons and gentlemen sitting in a room talked and laughed, and Miss Qu still played music to help the fun, and everyone was very happy. Shi Lantao gave Baili Nuyun a bowl of tofu and fish soup, and as soon as she said the word "thanks", she caught a glimpse of Miss Shang staring at her.

In the afternoon, this group of sons and gentlemen set off again, saying that they wanted to take a look from afar. Shi Lantao politely refused, saying that he was not in good health, and said that he would go to rest with Baili Nuyun. When she arrived in her own room, Baili Nuyun had a chance to ask her why it was necessary to come here. Shi Lantao said that he would take her to a place to take a look at it at night, and after speaking, he didn't let her have a chance to nag, so he closed her eyes and lay down. As soon as Baili Nuyun wanted to go out, he heard someone knocking on the door, and when he opened it, he saw that it was indeed the merchant sister.

The name of the Shang sister is very easy to remember, she is called the Shang Girl. It was inquired about by Baili Nuyun when he was working at noon. This merchant girl is from Yinghe Mansion. Baili Nuyun naturally thought of the wealthy Shang clan in Liuzhou, Yinghe Prefecture, and the current head of the Shang clan is still the wife of Yun Guan, the eldest son of Yunbao, although they are now divorced. Baili Nuyun wondered if this businesswoman was related to Mrs. Hu because of this relationship. But I heard that she stayed in Hutang Bay for a long time, and even during the New Year's holidays, she was here, mainly to entertain guests and arrange rooms. Now, the merchant girl was holding a plate of snacks in one hand, and her originally smiling face cooled down the moment she saw the person who opened the door.

"What about Brother Shi?" she endured.

Baili Nuyun had already determined that Lan Tao was pretending to be asleep, and she smiled: "My son-in-law is asleep." ”

The merchant girl glanced inside, then reluctantly handed her the snack and told her a few words before leaving. And after she left, Baili Nuyun ate the dim sum alone. Shi Lantao got up from the bed again and told her that he had seen Du Hui of the Heartless Hall in the Little Girl's Mountain, and asked her to come here to let her see what she had found in the Little Girl's Mountain.

When Baili Nuyun heard this, he said eagerly: "What is it?"

Shi Lantao shook his head. Before Baili Fuyun attacked, Boss Jin Yu twisted his waist and pinched the handkerchief and came over to call the door, and dragged Shi Lantao away, saying that he was a dignified martial arts talent, how could he be a little uncomfortable and quit with illness. The merchant girl was also coquettish and pulled, so she took Shi Lantao out of the room. Baili Nuyun looked at it and didn't say a word. As soon as they left, she half-got up and lay on the bed by herself and thought about Xue Changqing's affairs.

She had been looking for the Heartless Temple for a long time, but she had never known where they were.

After thinking about it, she was just very bored, and finally jumped off the bed unwillingly.

There is an acacia tree by the pond in the yard, and there are lotus flowers and fish in the pond, and the sound of frogs is bursting. Baili Fuyun went out to breathe, and when he stood on the promenade, he saw a woman sitting under the acacia tree embroidering something. Even the servants were resting, and the courtyard seemed extraordinarily quiet and idle.

The woman looked a bit like the owner of Hutangwan she had seen before, Mrs. Hu.

Baili Nuyun walked over and shouted Madame. Mrs. Hu looked at her in surprise, and when she saw that it was a strange little man, she smiled and said, "Are you Boss Jin's person?"

Baili Nuyun replied quietly, although nothing was shown on her face, she was still surprised that this Mrs. Hu was the one she had seen before. She was rescued by the Lord of the Purple Phoenix Holy Sect Fuyang Hall four years ago, and then followed her to learn a vicious kung fu called "Ten Thousand Laws Heavenly Chapter", but it failed in two years. In the end, she decided to go to the martial arts to hide in the famous family in various capacities, and explore the matter of the Heartless Palace. In the back and forth, she had spent a few days in the Linggui Taoist Temple in Fenghuangchuan, and this Mrs. Hu was also in the Linggui Taoist Temple at that time, and she also pointed out the embroidery skills to this lady in person. I didn't expect her embroidery skills to be so bad for so long.

Mrs. Hu saw that he had been staring at the embroidered handkerchief in her hand and said a little uncomfortably: "My daughter's birthday is coming, I want to embroider a handkerchief for her." ”

Looking at this temperament, Baili Nuyun had already concluded that this lady was the same person she had seen at the Linggui Taoist Temple at that time. But judging from what she was wearing at that time, no one would have imagined that she would have such a big industry in Hutangwan. Baili Nuyun sighed in his heart and sat down and said, "The little one used to learn embroidery from the elders for a few years. What do you want to embroider, you might as well say to the small one, and the small one will help you. ”

Probably because of her straightforwardness, Mrs. Hu felt that her craftsmanship really couldn't be put on the table, but because it was for her daughter, she was still a little hesitant. Baili Nuyun had a brain fever for a while, and said, "Madam, do you have any paper? I'll cut a few patterns for you." ”

People always say that there is nothing to do and be courteous is either a traitor or a thief, and Baili Nuyun feels that there is some truth. So she took a pen and paper, cut the patterns and marked them, and asked Mrs. Hu about the family without a trace while imparting her experience. Helplessly, this Mrs. Hu is always reckless but her tone is very tight, and she doesn't mention the affairs of her husband's family no matter what.

Although Mrs. Hu didn't say it, she could really guess some of it herself. The Linggui Taoist Temple of Fenghuang River often has some daughters or wives of rich and noble families who live for a long time in the name of Qing Xiu, some live for a few days, and some live for a few months and a few years. Mrs. Nahu also has a special room in that Taoist temple, and it seems that she has lived for a long time. Now looking at her Hutangwan industry, she naturally has no shortage of silver flowers, and this husband's family must not be simple, but it is really strange that she has a taboo and never mentions it. Baili Nuyun is also accustomed to inquiring about other people's stories, Mrs. Hu didn't say it, she didn't dig into it anymore, but said that it was a hard life at home when she was young, so she played a small needle, learned embroidery, and made a little money. Now I have forgotten a lot and can't help Mrs. Hu much. This Mrs. Hu was also very soft-hearted, and when she listened to it, she shed tears and asked him how much money he got every month, whether he had saved money or something. Baili Nuyun also didn't expect to be embarrassed and couldn't answer, so he didn't dare to stay longer and found a chance to slip away.

After dark, the people who went up the mountain came back one after another. Baili Nuyun crossed Erlang's legs on the bed, thinking about waiting for Lan Tao to come back and see if he could ask him something about Mrs. Hu. But when Shi Lantao came back, he was holding a bunch of begonia flowers in his hand.

Maybe the bright red begonia was too delicate, and she was stunned when she saw it.

Baili Mountain has never had such flowers, and she has never been in the mood to appreciate such beautiful flowers, these are beautiful that even Gongzi has never seen. However, a delicate and splendid flower in Shi Lantao's arms seemed to be a better thing, so bright, as if the fairy in the sky had descended to earth because of his favor, just to lie in the crook of his arm. Perhaps that's why she noticed the flower.

Shi Lantao saw her strange expression and walked over, Baili Nuyun raised his head and asked infatuately, "Shi Gongzi, can you give me the flowers in your hand?"

Maybe he shouldn't have brought the begonia back, and he wouldn't have handed it over to her when she asked for it. Holding the flower, she frowned and looked emotional, and she walked out quickly and cautiously as if she were paying tribute to the gods. Shi Lantao turned around to follow, and saw her kneeling on the edge of the pond with a solemn expression, and gently put the begonia into the pond, causing a ripple. Baili Nuyun clasped his hands together and didn't know what he was talking about, but Shi Lantao couldn't calm down for a long time since then.

Shi Lantao took a bath and had dinner an hour later, and Xiao Shi, who came with Baili Nuyun, saw her sitting in the corridor bored and moldy, and said to her that she was envious that she didn't have to go to the soup house to serve her master. Baili Nuyun had to secretly stick out her tongue when she heard this, and when Lan Tao came back, she jumped to her feet impatiently and asked, "Shi Gongzi, did you deliberately tease me?"

Shi Lantao looked at her but pouted helplessly, as if he felt a little sad that she doubted herself so much.
