Chapter 111: Spring Outing in Liyuan
As the saying goes, 'people are not as good as heaven', Xiao Mingzhu stabbed the death of her maidservant Qingwen with a handful of snot and tears, but her mother didn't seem to be very surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Mingzhu, it's not me saying you, a maid dies when she dies, not to mention that Zidu has already explained it to me", Mrs. Xiao didn't think it was a pestle at all, and continued to persuade, "He just had an argument with Qingwen before he accidentally pushed her into the well." ā
"What a Wei Zidu, I still underestimate you", Xiao Mingzhu was also shocked when she heard her mother's words, and she didn't expect that the beast had already made a preparation, so that the general who had been waiting for a long time was in vain.
She now knows why her father entrusted the Xiao family to her when he was dying, and her mother is too easy to believe in other people's words.
Mrs. Xiao saw that her baby daughter was iron-hearted, but she didn't want to marry Zidu, and she had no choice, but she was worried, "If Zidu leaves the Xiao family, our Xiao family will be in danger!"
"Don't worry, my daughter has her own way to deal with it", Xiao Mingzhu looked at the black sky outside the window, and a smile hung on the corner of her lips.

"There's one, little bee
Fly to the west and fly to the east
Buzz, buzz, buzz
Not afraid of rain or wind.
Self-reliance, self-reliance, and confidence
The next day, Yang Qing became a diligent gardener, humming a song while drawing water from the well, and then watering the flowers and plants in the yard.
As expected, this gardener is also a technical job, and the water needs for different plants is different, watering once every three or four days for drought tolerance and twice a day for non-drought tolerance is too little, which requires him to be familiar with the habits of various plants.
Of course, as a gardener, in addition to watering, he also needs to fertilize, and according to the sun's exposure, different plants receive different hours of sunlight, and after a new day's work, he understands the power of this Fubo.
Tired but not tired, with Yang Qing's current golden bell jar body, not to mention all kinds of flowers and grasses, let him travel on land is not a problem, the main thing is trouble and cumbersome, and every pot of flowers is treated as his own son.
I am afraid of falling in my hand and melting in my mouth, but the gardener also has the advantage of seeing the flowers in his care grow every day, and I feel a sense of accomplishment in my heart.
Winter goes to spring, everything begins to exude vitality, Yang Qing, as a gardener, is even busier, and spring is a good day for a hundred flowers to bloom.
"Oops, who kicked the ball on my head", Yang Qing was moving the flower pot in the yard, and a pineapple-sized ball flew into Juxiangyuan from outside the yard and hit him on the head.
Yang Qing picked up the bamboo ball from the corner, looked around with his head in confusion, and no one answered his question.
"Fubo, Fubo, my squatting ball has been kicked into your Juxiang Garden again, can you help us pick it up", a female voice sounded behind the wall.
"Isn't this the 'Miss Scholar's Back Garden' often sung in the play", Yang Qing was immediately happy when he heard it. He also walked to the corner of the wall, pinched his nose and replied, "Who are you?
Hearing Yang Qing's answer behind the wall, he was silent for a while, and then spoke, "You are not Fu Bo, return my squatting." ā
"Of course I'm not Fubo anymore, can't I hear this?" Yang Qing laughed at her through the wall, and when she heard the other party ask for the squatting ball in her hand, she teased, "It's okay if you want me to return the squatting ball to you, you just need to answer my question." ā
"You ask!" replied in a crisp voice, and then continued to add, "It shouldn't be too difficult." ā
"Don't worry, it must be very simple", Yang Qing smiled, thought carefully in his mind, cleared his throat and began to say, "Please listen to the question, there are seven monkeys on the tree and one monkey on the ground, how many monkeys are there in total?"
"Hey, you're so pitiful, you don't know how to do such a simple technique, of course it's eight monkeys" The girl on the other side of the wall also chuckled a few times, and said that the other party had some problems, which was simple.
"No, no, you miscalculated", Yang Qing shook his head like a rattle, trying to hold back his urge to burst into laughter.
"It's obviously eight, seven plus one equals eight", the girl behind the wall stretched out her fingers and counted, "If it's not eight, then how much do you say?"
"Youhe, you are still fighting against the army", Yang Qing snorted and explained to her, "Of course they are two monkeys, how can they not understand a simple topic?"
"How can it be two, you play Laipi!"
"Riding a monkey on the tree and a Hou on the ground, one plus one equals two, isn't it?" Yang Qing asked rhetorically.
After saying this, he covered his mouth with his hand and laughed heartily, of course, without making a sound, so that the girl opposite could hear it.
The wall was also calm for a while, probably in depression, and after a few breaths she continued, "Then you are coming up with a topic, don't play homophones." ā
"Okay" Yang Qing also replied solemnly, coughed a little, and continued to ask, "Under what circumstances does one plus one equal to three?"
"One plus one can't be equal to three," the female voice behind the wall began to mumble.
"Wrong, one plus one is equal to three in the case of miscalculation", Yang Qing pinched his nose and replied seriously, his tears were about to burst into laughter.
The woman behind the wall began to be silent again, and she also noticed that the other party seemed to be teasing herself, and immediately said in a daze, "That kickball will be given to you, I don't want it!" After finishing speaking, she heard the sound of 'squirping' leaving.
"Alas, don't go!" Yang Qing jumped on the spot, lying directly on the wall about two blades high, and the scenery outside the Juxiang Garden was unobstructed.
Directly opposite is a very large back garden, the area is about the size of a football field, this garden also has a lot of exotic flowers and plants, but there are not many varieties, there are many swings and a pentagonal pavilion.
Of course, the focus is not these, there are a lot of colorful maidservants in this courtyard, Yang Qing counted about twenty of them, all of them are beautiful and youthful.
One of them, a pretty maid in a green palace dress and a double bun on her head, was looking at him angrily, with apricot eyes and moth eyebrows, but this beauty now had a cold face.
As soon as Yang Qing saw her, he knew that it must be the beautiful cutie he was flirting with just now, and immediately threw the ball in his hand at the other party's feet, and apologized, "Please forgive me for the jokes for a while." ā
"Hmph" Seeing the young man lying on the wall throwing the ball over, the anger in her heart disappeared slightly, and she just looked at the other party and asked, "Isn't it all Fu Bo in charge of Juxiang Garden? Who are you?"
"Fu Bo has been laid off with honor, my name is Yang Qing, the new gardener of Juxiang Garden, what is your name?" Yang Qing smiled.
"Phew, it's not serious", the green girl picked up the ball and ran away, not only did not answer Yang Qing's question, but took a sip.
"Uh" Yang Qing was lying on the wall of Juxiang Garden, but looking at this group of flowery maids and maids embroidering their legs in the bow, it was also quite a good visual enjoyment.
"Sect Master Yang, you can really enjoy it", just when Yang Qing was lying on the wall and couldn't enjoy it, there was an angry rebuke behind him.
Yang Qing turned around, jumped down from the wall, and saw Xiao Mingzhu not knowing when he entered the Juxiang Garden, and was looking at him with a pink face.
Since Wei Zidu abandoned the personal maid who killed her in chaos, Xiao Mingzhu has no good face for any lustful man, and this kid not only seems to be ready to seduce the maid of the Xiao family.
This aroused her sadness again, and sure enough, the man really didn't have a good character.
"Why is Boss Xiao here today, please say what you have to say", Yang Qing walked to Xiao Mingzhu's side, as the saying goes, 'nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace'.
"Change your clothes and see what you look like", Xiao Mingzhu pointed to the dirty short brown on the other party's body and pointed for a while, "I'm going out to play today, and you will be my escort." ā
"YES, MADEN", YANG QING RAN INTO THE ROOM AND CHANGED INTO A NEW OUTFIT, WHICH IS THE STANDARD FOR THE XIAO FAMILY'S GUARDS, A BROCADE MINK ROBE WITH A ROUND NECK, WHICH IS BOTH WARM AND MAJESTIC.
"Follow me, talk when you speak, and treat yourself as a mute if you don't speak", Xiao Mingzhu walked on the road while breaking his fingers to teach this new subordinate.
Today is a relatively important day for Xiao Mingzhu, and the same is true for the young children of the Seven Great Families of the Forbidden City.
In spring, the season when a hundred flowers bloom and everything recovers, all the young men and women will go out together to go out for spring play, and of course the children of the seven great families of the royal capital will also do the same, and this common gathering is called 'Liyuan Spring Outing'.
Ten miles outside the west gate of the Forbidden City, there is a pear orchard, which is full of white pear blossoms at this time, and the young men and women of the seven great families will play here.
Xiao Mingzhu came over every year before she was in charge of the Xiao family, and she hadn't stepped into this garden for nearly five years since she became the head of the Xiao family. Although her girlfriends were warmly invited, the main reason was that she was in charge of the Xiao family's business, and she was running around almost all year round.
This year, he finally had free time, and with the persuasion of some girlfriends, Xiao Mingzhu decided to participate in the gathering of the young children of the seven families.
First, she can have a good relationship with other families, those young nobles will be the heads of the seven families in the future, and second, she also wants to relax the nerves that have been tense in recent years.
Walking outside the gate of Xiaofu, the convoy had already been prepared, a luxurious carriage with brocade beads, and twenty Wu Xiu with armor and swords lined up on both sides of the carriage.
"Golden Guard", Xiao Jizu, who had not seen him for a long time, sat in the carriage and waved warmly to Yang Qing, overjoyed.
Yang Qing helped Xiao Mingzhu to step into the carriage, and he also led a black horse, turned over and jumped, and the convoy was about to start.
"Slow", a sharp shout interrupted everyone's attention, Xiao Mingzhu lifted the pearl curtain and came out of the carriage, and Yang Qing also looked back.
