Wu Zheng, who lived in Ning Mansion steadily, did not see the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army on duty until the evening, his eldest cousin Ning Tianjue. This is the second time the brothers have met. The eldest uncle and the other two cousins are still serving as envoys to the state festival, and they can't go home for the holidays like ordinary people.

After a brief understanding of his departure from Sihui City, after dinner, Ning Tianjue went back to the Dutong Yamen.

Three meals a day, there are green vegetables on the table that can only be seen in summer time, and Wu Zheng didn't care about it at first. Thinking about his grandfather's status, it is not surprising that the forces of the Ning Mansion can get some rare food. However, there were meals for two or three days in a row, and Wu Zheng couldn't help but be surprised.

"Where do you get so many greens this season?"

When resting in the East Cross Courtyard on the evening of the fourth day of the new year, looking at Ning Xiaokun who was walking alone, Wu Zheng finally asked.

"You don't know?"

Seeing Wu Zheng looking at him with a puzzled expression, Ning Xiaokun did not dodge Wu Zheng's gaze, but continued:

"It's no wonder that you've only been in the capital for a few days, and the appearance of summer vegetables is only after the winter of this year. ”

Suddenly, Ning Xiaokun approached Wu Zheng slightly mysteriously and said:

"If you promise to wait for us to go out for a day, tell you where you got it. ”

Looking at Ning Xiaokun's jade face in front of him, as well as his ruddy lips, the pair of good-looking big eyes under the flickering of his long eyelashes, especially the strange fragrance revealed by the collar, suddenly made Wu Zheng's heartbeat speed up by half a beat for no reason.

didn't think about it at all, subconsciously, Wu Zheng nodded.

"Just know you're the best. I'll take you to see it early tomorrow morning. ”

As she spoke, she pulled Wu Zheng's arm and shook it twice like a little girl. It's just that he soon realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly lowered his slightly red face, looked at his toes, and whispered again:

"But you're going to have to find an excuse to take us out of the house. ”

After speaking, he glanced up at Wu Zheng, turned around and pushed open the door with light steps and walked out.

Wu Zheng was stunned and stood in place for six or seven breaths before he came back to his senses. Immediately, I regretted why I nodded and agreed to Ning Xiaokun's request just now.

After all, they have already been married by the emperor to Gu Ye, the eighth prince of Zheng, and they are about to marry someone who will be the princess after the autumn, how can they say that they can be brought out to play? If this is seen by someone with a heart and spread to the palace, won't it damage their reputation?

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Ning Xiaoqian suddenly walk in, Wu Zheng entered the mansion for a few days, and it was the first time that he saw the sisters not together.

"It's nothing, sister, do you know where the vegetables come from?"

"What a coincidence, I'm looking for you for this. ”

"Looking for me?"

"After coming back, Xiao Kun and I have never left the house. Can you think of a reason to take us out for a walk? I can take you to see where those greens come from. ”

Ning Xiaoqian, who has always been dignified, actually came for this matter, which was too unexpected for Wu Zheng.

"What if I tell my grandparents and ask my two sisters to take me to see where the vegetables are grown?"

"As long as you open your mouth, your grandparents will definitely agree. ”

Ning Xiaoqian's expression was very normal, but her slightly evasive eyes made Wu Zheng a little uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll try it after dinner. ”

After dinner, accompanied by my grandparents and grandmothers, of course, Ning Xiaoqian and Ning Xiaokun were also present and chatted for a while. Wu Zheng, who was just about to speak, saw his grandmother pointing at Ning Xiaoqian and Ning Xiaokun and said to him:

"Zheng'er will take the two cousins out for a walk tomorrow, I'm afraid the two of them will be suffocated. ”

Wu Zheng couldn't help but glance at the two cousins, and secretly said in his heart, this is too unexpected.

"Hehe, as far as the two of you are careful, being a grandmother is a blind person. However, it's okay to go out, you can't show your head around, otherwise there will never be a next time. ”

"Grandma don't worry, in the afternoon, I thought about asking my two sisters to take me to see where it is and how to grow so many summer vegetables. We'll just go see it tomorrow, and we won't be wandering around the streets of the capital. ”

"Well, Zheng'er is the most sensible. Ask the housekeeper where the vegetables are grown. ”

"I'll go. ”

"Sit down, when is it, you are the least worried. ”

was said by her grandmother, Ning Xiaokun pouted and had no choice but to sit back again.

Before breakfast was finished the next day, Ning Xiaokun had already urged the housekeeper Qian Chunlai to prepare the carriage and the horse that Wu Zheng was riding. Because the three of them were all born in martial arts, and Wu Zheng was there, naturally there was no need to arrange for their subordinates to follow.

After the meal, Wu Zheng rode a horse and followed the carriage, led by the coachman, and went directly out of the West City Gate.

However, when he was about to reach the small stream that flowed from west to east under the gate of Woyun Temple, the carriage suddenly turned around, turned north, and then went straight west along the bank of the stream, and drove into a wide valley. In less than two quarters of an hour, under a sunny hillside on the north bank of the creek, a building glittering in the sunlight was seen.

The reason why it is said to be a building is because Wu Zheng didn't understand it for a while, it was a little low and narrow, and he knew at a glance what it was not enough for people to live in, it looked like a shed, what it was for.

When the carriage drove to the left, Wu Zheng found a small courtyard that was not big, but it looked extremely clean.

In the thorn-woven fence wall, there are a total of nine thatched houses. There are four rooms facing south in the north, two in the east and three in the west.

The mountain was already extremely silent, and the sound of the carriage and the hooves of Wu Zheng's mount under his crotch had already reminded the master that someone had arrived. Therefore, when Wu Zheng was still riding on a horse and carefully looking at the small courtyard in front of him, at the same time as the door of the second room next to the four north landlords was opened, a person wearing a blue coarse cloth shirt, with a small white floral headscarf on a blue background wrapped around his head, his hair was tied behind his head at will, without the smell of fat powder, giving people a sense of tranquility and softness, and Shi Shiran, a peasant girl who was at most sixteen or seventeen years old, walked out.

"Childe is here to buy groceries? I'm really sorry, today's vegetables are all sold out. If the son is willing to leave the address, tomorrow evening, ensure that the son will be delivered to the house on time. ”

As he spoke, he walked over and opened the gate of the fence wall, and shouted in the direction of the two houses to the east:

"Uncle Jiang, a guest is here. ”

Not only Wu Zheng was stunned on horseback, but even Ning Xiaoqian and Ning Xiaokun, who had just come down from the carriage, were also a little stunned.

How could there be such an unworldly girl in such a remote countryside? In particular, the clear pronunciation of the words is even more crisp and pleasant in the lonely valley, and the tone is abrupt. (To be continued.) )
