Hard to be a master

The curve of the corners of his lips that was about to rise was abruptly turned into a twitch. After gnashing his teeth for a moment, Shen Ziliu suddenly changed his expression, and said to Guan Jingxuan with an extremely gentle smile: "Master is right."

Guan Jingxuan didn't notice the change in his expression, she took out a white folding fan from her sleeve and threw it away to cover her lips, and said with a smile, "Let's go, spring doesn't wait for anyone."

Although Fenglin Garden covers an area of ​​only a few tens of mu, it is considered very large as a garden in the city.The prefect himself loves this garden very much, and spends a lot of silver on the maintenance of the garden every year. The scenery in the garden is naturally beautiful and extraordinary.On weekdays, only people from the prefect's mansion can enter and leave Fenglin Garden, and it is rare for ordinary people to see it. Therefore, this time, Fenglin Garden is open to the whole city, and as expected, it has attracted many tourists.As for how many of them came for the "rumor" that "the prefect's daughter will go", only they themselves know clearly.

When the two masters and apprentices walked leisurely to Fenglin Garden, the garden was already full of people who came to visit and play, most of them were young men and women in their prime.They all dressed up fresh and vigorous, not inferior to the flowers in the garden.Teenagers and girls gathered together in twos and threes, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the garden while reciting poems, composing poems and laughing and having fun.

As Guan Jingxuan expected, Shen Ziliu attracted the attention of many young girls as soon as he entered Fenglin Garden.His facial features were already good-looking, but the two years of training in Kunlun gave him a bit of a fairy air, and his shirt gave him a bit of literati's elegance, but it couldn't stop him from showing through his gestures. The firmness of the sword cultivator and his special temperament make him stand out in the crowd, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance.

But Guan Jingxuan next to him is always lazy and dressed casually, but he has been practicing in Kunlun for many years, and the immortal energy in him will only be heavier than that of Shen Ziliu. In addition, his facial features are not bad, and his expression is not bad. He is softer and more amiable than Shen Ziliu, and if others pay a little attention, they will be easily attracted by his temperament.

As soon as the pair of master and apprentice entered the door, there was a slight commotion in the crowd. Many people were quietly discussing and guessing the identities of the two people. Walk along a winding gravel road to the middle of Fenglin Garden.

The two strolled around the garden for about half a stick of incense, and came to the edge of a lotus pond.This lotus pond is huge, compared to the lotus pond in the backyard of Qingmeng Garden, it looks like a puddle.Probably for today's Flower Festival, the gardener of Fenglin Garden used some method to urge the lotus flowers in the pond to bloom. The patchwork of emerald green against pink and white is very beautiful.An arched covered bridge was built on the side of the lotus pond. There were many girls on the covered bridge standing or sitting against the guardrail to enjoy the lotus. This scene is also a very beautiful scenery in the eyes of people under the bridge.

After admiring the lotus for a while, Guan Jingxuan suddenly turned to Shen Ziliu and said, "Xiao Liu, you don't seem very happy?"

Shen Ziliu was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "The disciple is not unhappy. Why would Master ask such a question?"

Guan Jingxuan put the closed folding fan on his chin, and said, "Because you have hardly laughed since we left the inn. I see you like to laugh, as a teacher, don't you?"

That's right in front of you.Shen Ziliu thought silently.

Although he was not cold and arrogant in Kunlun, but he was not as friendly and enthusiastic as Zi Lan. Mengyuan just didn't know.

Shen Ziliu pursed his lips slightly, leaned close to Guan Jingxuan's ear, and said softly: "The disciple just wants to laugh for Master to see."

Guan Jingxuan slapped him backhandedly, and scolded with a smile: "I know nonsense all day long, with you like this, which girl from now on—"

"Sorry to bother you two."

Before Guan Jingxuan finished speaking, he was interrupted by a soft voice. The master and apprentice turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw a young woman who was well-dressed and well-dressed standing a few steps away from them.This woman looks sweet, and she seems to be about the same age as Shen Ziliu. Compared with other women of the same age, she is more dignified and dignified. And manners are not bad.

Even if you don't ask, it's not hard to guess that the person coming is probably the eunuch's daughter.

Guan Jingxuan and Shen Ziliu looked at each other, then smiled politely and said, "What advice do you have, Miss?"

The woman responded with Guan Jingxuan's faint smile, then looked at Shen Ziliu generously, and said, "I've greeted you two gentlemen, I really want to ask you a little favor. On the edge of the wall over there, there is a clump of tangerines blooming." It’s very good, I like it very much, but it’s a pity that it’s too high to climb and break. I wonder if you can help us to break a branch?”

After hearing this, Guan Jingxuan half opened the folding fan to cover the corners of her lips that could not help but look at Shen Ziliu with a bit of playfulness, to see how he would fight.Shen Ziliu looked back at him, then raised his eyebrows to look at the woman, nodded and said: "Yes, wait a moment."

After finishing speaking, he went straight to the wall of flowers that the woman pointed out just now, and when he was looking up to see which branch was the most blooming, one of the woman's maids said loudly: "My lord, please break the tallest branch!"

"Hong'er, stop messing around." The woman scolded lightly, but there was no sign of reproach on her face.

The maid who had just shouted covered her lips and smiled, and said: "Miss, the tallest branch is the best, if you can't reach it, you don't deserve Miss's favor."

The woman pursed her lips in embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "The more you talk, the more unruly you are!"

The maid closed her mouth with a grin.

Shen Ziliu's five senses were sensitive, and he could clearly hear the conversation between the master and the servant even after a distance.He glanced at Guan Jingxuan whose smile became more and more obvious, and turned around as if he hadn't heard.

The flower wall is about two people high, and the lush flower vines hang down from the top of the wall like a waterfall, and the wall is full of fragrance.Because of the best light, the flowers at the highest place bloom the most prosperously and beautifully.Shen Ziliu took a visual inspection of the best-blooming clump, then jumped up, and jumped onto the flower wall very lightly amidst the exclamation of the crowd, stepped lightly on the two green leaves and stood firmly, even the stems Not much bent.

Ignoring the scorching gazes of everyone below, Shen Ziliu squatted down and picked the most blooming Tang Di, got up and took two steps, then squatted down and picked a few that were also very delicately blooming, and then stood up and jumped down and spun He fell down and stopped just in front of the maid who had just shouted.

"Please take this flower away, miss."

The maid was taken aback for a moment, then with reddish cheeks, she took the flower branch from Shen Ziliu and passed it to her own lady.

The woman suspected to be the eunuch's daughter reached out to take it, thanked her, and was about to praise the flower branch, but Shen Ziliu suddenly turned around and walked towards the flower wall, and then handed the remaining flower branches in her hand one by one to the flower branch standing beside the flower wall. Next, the girls who were envious just now are now full of surprise.Shen Ziliu didn't say much. After delivering the flowers, he calmly walked back to Guan Jingxuan, ignoring the woman whose face turned blue and then pale. He raised the only flower branch left in his hand and looked at Guan Jingxuan.

Guan Jingxuan was amazed at his series of actions just now, seeing Shen Ziliu suddenly looking at him, Guan Jingxuan suddenly felt something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it.

Shen Ziliu sent the flower branch to Guan Jingxuan, evoking a smile that made the hearts of the girls tremble, and said slowly: "This flower will not be given to Master, no flower is more beautiful in the world than Master. , such vulgar objects should be appreciated by ordinary people."

After finishing speaking, Shen Ziliu raised his hand suddenly, and with a smile on his face, he threw the flower branch in his hand into the lotus pond beside him.
