"Little sesame is good. ”

I looked at the woman again and asked, "Magu, where is my father?"

Magu replied: "The master just had dinner, and now he goes to the study." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Is Xu Yutang back?" I asked again.

"She's already back. Look at the way she looks, it's fun to go out. Miss, next time you have something fun, take me with you, okay?" replied sourly.

"You," Magu glanced at Xiao Sesame and said to me, "Xiao Yutang has already gone to Lincheng to find Huang Gongzi, and the lord has approved her marriage and sent a lot of dowry." ”

"She also suffered a little this time, and she deserved a little more dowry. ”

"Little Sesame, it turns out that you are not envious of Xu Yutang going out of the house to play, but you also want to get a bunch of dowries to marry, don't you?" I handed the package to Aunt Ma and looked at Little Sesame with scrutinizing eyes.

Little Sesame hurriedly waved his hand: "What is there, I would like to, but I don't even have a sweetheart!"

"Prepare pen and paper. I commanded.

Little Sesame answered and trotted all the way into the room.

When I walked slowly to the table, the paper was laid out, the ink was ground, and the pen was lying aside.

I picked up the pen, quietly recalled, picked up the pen, and drew a portrait of a human face.

beckoned Little Sesame over and asked her, "Do you have any impression of this person?"

I painted a man of seventeen or eighteen years old, thin, with a gentle face and bright eyes. This person is Yun Qinglin's right-hand man, Guan Xingyi.

"It's like, it's familiar. Little Sesame clicked her finger on her head, trying to remember.

"Ah, come to think of it, last month, this person seems to have been in the house. I don't remember very clearly, I just thought he was dressed as a little guy, but he looked better than the average guy, so I looked at him a few more times. Little Sesame said as she thought.

"Show the painting to the chief steward and see what impression he makes. I said.

"Okay. Little Sesame rolled up the picture, took down an empty carton from the bookshelf next to it, put the painting in it, and jumped out of the room.

Magu looked at me.

Although she didn't speak, I still replied: "The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind." ”

After saying that, I laughed first.

I went back to my room and changed into a pink woman's dress, and Magu prepared a small lantern like a full moon for me.

It was already dark, I carried a small lantern, walked out of Huaxi Garden, turned left and right, and walked along the path.

Walking out of the arched rockery, as soon as I looked up, I saw the second chief manager. When he saw me, he nodded at me, and there was no surprise in his expression. At this time, his eyes were no longer the panic and loyalty and honesty he had in Yunfu, but instead he was sharp-eyed and shrewd.

Behind him was the study, which was lit up.

I pushed the door in, turned and closed it again.

Behind the desk sat a middle-aged man, gentle and elegant, with extraordinary appearance. As the name suggests, this is the head of Cheongju's first Lejia, Le Wenliang.

"Discovered?" asked Le Wenliang as he put down the ledger in his hand and looked at me.

"Well, it's a hundred secrets. Yun Qinglin arranged for someone to come to the mansion in advance to investigate. ”

"Yun Qinglin is a thoughtful descendant. Obedient to the meaning of the words, Le Wenliang appreciates Yun Qinglin more.

"This time you have made a lot of noise, the Yunfu in Yancheng, Hongzhou, the Tang family in Zizhou Mansion, and Wensi Villa in Lizhou Mansion. But you have only done so far and have not hurt their lives. This is not like the usual style of Cai Qiji. Le Wenliang said slowly.

I nodded and replied, "Indeed, a small fight." ”

"In the future, it is better to be more cautious. Le Wenliang said.

"Got it, Dad, I'll be careful. ”

"Tell me about your actions in Yunfu. Le Wenliang looked at me and said.

"I never show up in formal places, so outsiders, as well as some family members in the house, don't know what I look like. ”

"Xu Yutang replaced me and came all the way from Mocheng in Qingzhou to Yancheng in Hongzhou. Before she checked into the inn in Yancheng, I found out her room number, arrived first, and coated the inner and outer walls of the teacup with corrosive chronic poison. This poison can only work if it is ingested into the body. ”

"Before the wedding began, Xu Yutang used the silver needle I gave her to gently pierce the skin of her heart through the wedding dress. After that, she hid the silver needle in the edge of the window, in the gap I had carved, and took the fake death pill that Astragalus had prepared for her. ”

"The wedding begins, worship heaven and earth. When Xu Yutang bent over, she lifted the internal force, although the internal force was not much, it was enough to induce the blood in the stomach that was corroded by the poison. At the same time, Qing deliberately knocked over his wine glass in the guest table to build momentum. Xu Yutang cooperated and did not stand firm. ”

The medicinal effect of the fake death pill exerted very quickly in the corroded stomach, and under the impetus of the internal force, after a short time, Xu Yutang fell to the ground. ”

"Red's transfiguration technique is at its peak, and she is ready to replace the female doctor of the 'post-mortem' at any time. I never thought that Yun Yuelang actually thought of me. Fortunately, I also prepared a blood-soaked highly poisonous iron and silver needle. ”

The maids accompanying Yunfu and Yuefu all saw the blood stains on Xu Yu's Tang clothes. I asked the maid of Yunfu to fetch the magnet and took the opportunity to suck the silver needle under the stone. No one could tell. ”

"Before the fake death pill expired, Xu Yutang had been safely taken out of the Yun Mansion. Midori had already taken the silver needle hidden in the window. ”

"The people acted separately and the plan was implemented very well. However, the first assumption is wrong. Le Wenliang listened and commented.

"The implementation of the plan is very good. However, the first assumption is wrong. Le Wenliang listened and commented.

"Yes, the people of Yunfu have already seen me. "I agree with Le Wenliang's words.

"Planning is better than change, and thinking through is not easy. But that's where the fun comes in. ”

I nodded and was taught.

"You were born for a mission, I know that, and I don't deny that I have selfish intentions about your birth. Le Wenliang changed his words and talked about me.

"But seeing you grow from a baby, as a father, I also hope that you can have a good ending and be able to meet your own destiny. I need you to think about this. The world is big, and you can find a breakthrough in your destiny. ”

"In that case, I'll only say it to you once in private. You have to make a note of it. ”

"Stay at home for a few more days, if there is anything you want to eat, tell Magu. Le Wenliang picked up the ledger again, as if he wanted to continue reading.

I got up, walked to the door, and was just about to open the door when Le Wenliang said again.

"Zhen'er, there is still a marriage contract, keep it. In the past few years, the weak and the strong in the organization, he has come step by step, and I can see that it is all for you. ”

Without answering, I turned my head and glanced at him.

Engagement?

Walking alone on the stone brick path, I stopped and looked at the moon.

How old was I, fourteen, and sixteen?

He handed me a small sandalwood folding fan that was slightly longer than my fingers, saying that it was a temporary parting gift as a souvenir.

With a wave of his hand, the small folding fan was held in his hand. Against the moonlight, turn it on and fan it gently. It seems that the sandalwood incense on it still has an aftertaste.

When I woke up the next day, Little Sesame couldn't wait, ran to me, opened her mouth and said, "Miss, we have a guest at home! He is a son, tall and handsome! Like our master, he doesn't seem to have a temper at all!"

I don't have a temper at all? What does that mean? I looked at her puzzled.

"Oh, by the way, there is also a little boy who is very young, only four or five years old, and he likes to pretend to be old, which is very interesting. ”

I know, it's the two sons of the Tang family.

"Why did they come to our house?" I asked, puzzled.

"There are many flowers in Seongshu, including azaleas, gentians, magnolias, lilies, primroses, orchids, green velvet artemisia, etc., and of course, the most famous is camellia. We have a lot of mountains and rivers in Cheongju, so I want to discuss with the people of the Tang Mansion to see if we can buy some flower seedlings or seeds of good varieties and plant them in our Cheongju. "Little Sesame has always been well-informed, and explained to me slowly.

"Originally, the master only repaired one book last month and sent it to the Tang Mansion in Zizhou, but I didn't expect the two sons of the Tang Mansion to come to Mocheng in person, as if they brought the flower seedlings and flower seeds together. Little Sesame felt that things were going very magically, frowning and blinking as she spoke.

"Perhaps, they haven't been to Cheongju before, so they want to come and see it, right?" Xiao Sesame came up with a reason of his own.

"Where are they now?" I asked.

Little Sesame replied with a smile: "In the Yuzhu Pavilion in the East Garden, they arrived early in the morning, first discussed with the master in the study, and then went to the East Garden to rest. ”

"Miss, would you like to have lunch with them?" Little Sesame came up to me and strongly suggested.

This, I acted as if I was thinking, and it took a long time to ask: "What do Magu prepare for them at noon?"

Xiao Sesame comprehended, as if he was seriously recalling, and said: "Crab roe soup dumplings, butterfly dumplings, peacock dumplings, white shrimp, hairy leaf fish, chicken, duck and goose, and noodle soup." ”

"Then I'll think about it. ”

The breakfast of the people of Mexico is very rich, so lunch time is a little later.

"Sister Shui?" a young child's voice sounded in surprise.

I turned my head sideways and saw Tang Shengyuan staring at me with wide eyes next to me. I smiled in my heart.

A man walked up to me, and there was a hint of tea on his body.

I couldn't hold back and laughed. But he still covered it up: "Tang Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a few days, everything is okay?"

The smile on Tang Lingshu's face was like a spring breeze, and he said softly: "Everything is fine, and my father is fine." After the arrangement in the house was completed, the time was calculated, and the flower seedlings were also transported to Mocheng, and the younger brother had never been to Qingzhou, so he took the opportunity to take him to take a look. ”

Tang Shengyuan nodded desperately on the side.

It turned out that the flower seedlings arrived first, and the people arrived later.

"Well, I happened to be passing by. ”

Tang Lingshu suddenly looked behind me, I followed his gaze, and saw that Xiao Sesame was covering his mouth and snickering.

I brushed my hair with my hand to relieve the embarrassment in my heart.

"Are they all here?" Le Wenliang appeared, followed by Ren Shuo, the chief manager of Yuefu. Ren Shuo and the second manager Ren Shi are brothers, and they look quite similar, but Ren Shuo's body is stronger and his pace is more steady.

"Then take a seat. Le Wenliang greeted.

The food on the table is similar to what Little Sesame talked about before, with more snacks. Tang Shengyuan had never eaten these kinds of pastries, and tasted them one by one, eating them with relish.

At the round table, only Le Wenliang, Tang Lingshu, Tang Shengyuan and I dined. Le Wenliang didn't introduce us to each other, and no one mentioned it. During the banquet, Le Wenliang talked with Tang Lingshu from time to time, I was happy on the side, and when I was free, I gave Tang Shengyuan a dish, and for each dish, the small sesame seeds were carefully introduced next to it.

After a meal, Le Wenliang looked at me twice.

After lunch, Le Wenliang and Tang Lingshu were going to the front yard to see the flower seedlings brought from Zizhou, and I was also curious, so I went over together.

The Tang government brought five wagons of flower seedlings and seeds, and the flower seedlings were all potted. The flower seedlings of rhododendrons have a height of about 20 centimeters, which should have been transplanted twice in three years; the pots of orchids have purple sand and porcelain pots, indicating that they are also at least 2 or 3 years old flower seedlings, because generally the wild seedlings dug up from the mountains must be planted in tile pots, and they can be repotted after two or three years.

There are several others, which I don't know much about. There was also a box of books on sowing, cultivation and grafting flowers on the carriage, all of which were written about the experience of the Tang family in raising flowers for several generations. The sincerity of the Tang Mansion is undoubtedly full.

"Miss, how do I feel that this is like a dowry for you?" said Little Sesame in a very small voice in my ear.

Before I could speak, Tang Lingshu glanced at us.

Little Sesame stuck out her tongue and said, "Probably because I'm confused again." ”

"What's this bag?" asked Little Sesame, pointing to a packet of unmarked seeds.

"This is the seed of the woody flower. Tang Lingshu said.

Suddenly, my chest felt tight.

"The seeds of the woody flower can be used for seedlings, but it is generally not recommended to use seeds for cultivation because it is difficult to survive in seed cultivation. Tang Lingshu explained.

"I specially asked the Tang family for the woody flower seeds, and I wanted to try if I could grow woody flowers from these seeds. Le Wenliang said lightly.

"Miss, are you alright?" Little Sesame held my arm, and it turned out that I didn't stand firmly.

Le Wenliang asked Ren Shuo to receive the flower seedlings and flower seeds and give them to the best florist in the house to take care of. After giving the order, he left first.

Tang Shengyuan was worried about these flowers and wanted to visit the garden of Yuefu, so I asked Xiao Sesame to accompany him.

Little Sesame was very relieved to leave me alone.

I turned around and wanted to leave, but suddenly I felt dizzy.

A pair of hands held me, and there was a burst of tea fragrance.

"Thank you, it's probably because the wind chill a few days ago hasn't completely healed. I said.

"Do you like woody flowers?" asked Tang Lingshu.

Woody flowers, I seem to see the clusters of small white flowers on the trellis overhead, the thin branches hang down, where there are green leaves, there is it. It turned out that I had never been to Seed State, and I had never been to Seed State to find it.

"That's the only flower I've ever fallen in love with. ”

I was amazed that I actually said it, and this sentence has been hidden in my heart for ten years. I still didn't hold back and said it.

Tang Lingshu stood quietly.

It felt like a long, long time.

"Then you've missed out on this year's flowering. He said.
