Forget it

After exchanging heartfelt feelings in the mountains that night, Liu Xi still went to Yiwei Lu every three days.

After Meng Qiu, Master Liu suddenly became busy, and the imperial court's paperwork became more and more frequent. There were several times when Liu Zi went out, he ran into Master Liu who was supposed to be in the inner courtyard, and when he returned, Master Liu was always the same. The unlucky look of frowning, hesitating to speak.

In contrast, Du Tui, who is on sick leave, lives happily every day.

The one-acre and three-point land under Daishan let him hold Liu Xun together and take care of it.In the yard, Liu Xi's wish was fulfilled, bamboo poles were erected, and grape seedlings were planted.

At the beginning of autumn, Du Yun didn't know which tendon was wrong again. He muttered every day, saying that he wanted to drink fresh soup, and Liu Xi wanted to pack it for him from the city. Liu Xi went up the mountain and down to the lake to pick mushrooms and fungi, catch fish in the lake, and do it himself, which was enough for him and Liu Xi.

Not only that, after the hot summer and before the busy farming season, farmers in Qiaotou Village seized the rare and pleasant time of the year and completely relaxed.For the educated and approachable Mr. Du who lived under his feet, the people of Qiaotou Village both respected and worshiped him, so whenever the village invites an opera troupe or holds a banquet, they must specially invite him, and even take Liu Xi to participate in many fun events. country activities.

Du Yun enjoyed interacting with the farmers very much, and happily arranged all the paperwork for the three daughters of Zhu's family from adoption to wedding.

The hope of August, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Liu Xi accompanied Mrs. Liu in the morning, and Mrs. Liu ate half a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus, longan and japonica rice porridge with Du Yun at Yiwei Lu.

Du Yun was ingenious and made porridge by mixing dried Sophora japonica flowers picked in spring and fresh osmanthus flowers collected recently.

Du Yun didn't have a good breakfast, and Du Yun was a little brooding, sitting in the Zen chair depressed.

"Why did you come here for the reunion festival today? Are you afraid that Mr. Liu will take care of you?"

Liu Xi was a little full, and walked around in the yard to digest, "My second sister, third sister, fourth sister, and fifth sister are going back to the house today, it doesn't matter if I'm here or not."

Turning to look at Du Yun who was still coiled on the chair, Liu Xi walked over and teased him to get up, "I thought that my husband had no relatives and no relatives in Fengxiang Mansion, and it was inevitable to be sad during the New Year, so I left home in a considerate way. Spend the holiday with Mister, and Mister still have a bitter face?"

Du Yun raised her eyelids to look at him, and said angrily: "You didn't do it on purpose, there are only a few places you can go before Mid-Autumn Festival night, no matter which one, you go with me, let people see and report to Mr. Liu , you want to be punished or not, and you want to reward big ones!"

Liu Xi squinted his eyes and smiled, pretending to be cute, "Then dare to ask sir, where are we going?"

Du Yun sneered, got up and put on the wooden clogs, patted the hem of the cloth robe, with a bunch of black hair, turned around gracefully, "Outing."

There are so many days in a year in Daishan, full of tourists and bustling, today is one of them.

Liu Xi followed Du Yun with a bamboo basket, carefully avoiding the hoe on his shoulder.

Du Yun was not reconciled to the failure of cooking porridge in the morning, so she insisted on going to Daishan to pick some wild vegetables and come back to make porridge with wild vegetables to prove herself again.

When Liu Xi and Du Yun climbed up the mountainside, Daishan was already full of voices.

Du Yun frowned, through the roots of the old tree, casually glanced at the people gathered around.

Celebrities and gentry, rural farmers, young ladies, and old women from mountain villages, you can find everything. People from eight villages around Daishan gathered here to share the beautiful scenery in the mountains.

Liu Xi was about to follow Du Yun down the hillside to pick vegetables in the woods in the north, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name from a distance, after looking around, it was Zhuo Sijun and others walking towards him.

"Ziyi is not mean enough. Since he is going to Daishan, he pushed my post earlier," Zhuo Sijun laughed and complained loudly before he arrived. Who is this gentleman?"

Liu Xi couldn't help but roll his eyes, it's too fake!

"This is the Tutor of Fengxiang Mansion, Master Du Qingji. Sir, these are my good friends, Zhuo Junsi, Qian Mingli, Fang Zhan..."

Du Yun put down the hoe, greeted the young gentlemen one by one, and exchanged a few words.

Liu Xi watched from the side, and was surprised to find that when Du Yun was facing these Wuling youths, he didn't pretend to be old-fashioned and pedantic to himself like last time, but instead was gentle and elegant, with a romantic attitude and a temperament in his gestures. , just like he is not wearing cloth robes and wooden clogs, but brocade and faille, which is indescribably chic.

In a few words, he was already looking at killing Wei Jie, especially Qian Mingli, looking at Du Yun's eyes at this moment, he almost fell on the ground and bowed to Du Yun three times.

Liu Xi was about to sneer, but he heard another call from behind, but this time it was not Ziyi, but Qingji.But the voice is familiar to him, his father.

Everyone was stunned, no one thought that Fengxiang Mansion's yamen came to Daishan for an outing today, and a group of officials and lords were playing with flowing water and flying flower orders by the small waterfall and pool behind the rocks not far away.

Mr. Liu is an elder, and he is also the governor of Fengxiang Mansion. All the juniors salute respectfully, especially Liu Xi, whose respect makes Du Yun admire.

Mrs. Liu looked at Du Yun with a smile, his eyes were full of seeing Bao, and he didn't care about the juniors standing around him, he pulled Du Yun and started chatting about homework.

"Qing is very interested, is this going up the mountain to pick vegetables?"

Du Yun smiled, "Vulgar things can't compare to the elegance of Fu Yin and Shi drinking."

Liu Fu Yin smiled again, "Hey, Qingji is too modest. Du Langjun is rewarded, and the world knows it. When it comes to reciting poems, who can be your opponent? It just happened to happen today, and Qingji went to sit with the old man. , let the old man see and see Du Lang's witty words?"

Du Yun curled her lips into a smile, "Your Majesty's praise is so great that Qing is extremely terrified. Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, it's just that it's really inconvenient today. It's really embarrassing to see my colleagues who are wearing rough robes and missing shoes."

Modesty is like pride, and Liu Xi admires this guy from the bottom of his heart.

Master Liu didn't force him to refuse when he saw him, but he just said that he wanted to talk to Du Yun alone. Du Yun stuffed the hoe into Liu Zi's arms, patted the cloth robe, and went to it happily.

Holding the hoe, Liu Xi frowned as he watched his father and Du Yun standing not far away whispering to each other.

A young gentleman couldn't help but sigh, "After all, he was a bad guy in front of the imperial court, with such a bearing, such a demeanor."

"Hey, why...why was this taken away?" Qian Mingli was stunned, and asked Liu Xi.

Liu Xi shook his head, he was also very depressed after being ignored by the two of them and then left behind.

Zhuo Junsi looked at the backs of the two, pinched his beard thoughtfully, "Officer Du Tui has been in our Fengxiang Mansion for more than a year, but he has never even entered the gate of the yamen. Your lord seems to be very familiar... Ziyi, what do you know?"

Liu Xi was also very curious, "I don't know the slightest bit, and I'm waiting for someone who understands to tell you."

The crowd laughed.

"Hahahahaha, you, you, a dear father and a good friend, you can't even see the slightest clue? Take it as Ziyi!"

"It's strange, hey, the people who hang around every day are asking us! Don't talk, don't talk, and don't tell you if you know it!"

"Hey, everyone forgot, Mrs. Bi Yang did a new dance a while ago, and Mr. Liu Xiaolang is probably thinking about it!"

……

Liu Xi listened to the teasing of his friends, smiled lightly and remained silent, Liu Xi was not only not stupid but also smart, he had seen some clues, but he hadn't paid attention to it, so he didn't inquire about it. Now seeing his father's enthusiasm Pulling Du Yun to talk, he suddenly wanted to know.

After some mocking, an older young man took over the conversation, "I'm really a bit rumored here."

"Eh?" Everyone's attention was diverted at once, and Liu Xi also cast a questioning look.

The young man coughed lightly, "Well, my next friend who is an official in Beijing mentioned something in my correspondence with me a few days ago. Recently, the court has become more peaceful. It seems that the Holy Majesty intends to recruit Du Tui." The official returned to Beijing, as to whether the official will be reinstated or sent to another post, I don’t know for the time being, but Du Tui seems to be not very happy to go back here..."

"Oh!"

Everyone was startled, and another chatter started.While talking, Du Yun had already bid farewell to Mr. Liu and came over, everyone had to shut up hastily.

Du Yun exchanged greetings with everyone and was about to say goodbye. They invited the old farmer from Sumiya to drink and have fun. Du Yun smiled and didn't refuse. He just said that he would go when he had picked enough wild vegetables.

When the two walked away one after the other, someone suddenly reacted, "That's not right, Mr. Liu is still like this, why did Zi Yi go with Du Tui without saying hello?"

"Hey, yes, isn't he afraid of his father?"

"It seems a bit unusual for you to say that..."
