[Republic of China] The paradise of rebirth

Tonight is the governor's birthday banquet, everyone started to be busy early in the morning, only I was sitting in the side room, having nothing to do and panicking, so I had to stand up and walk in the side room.

"Qingyi, you got up, just in time, the owner of the garden asked you to find him." Xiaodongzi hurriedly pushed the door in, and was about to pull me out.

"Wait, let me change my clothes first." I held Xiao Dongzi dumbfounded, always so frizzy, no wonder the garden owner always scolded him.

"Oh, I'm in a hurry, you can change quickly, I still have things to do." Xiao Dongzi patted his forehead, and I asked him to go first, after I took care of it, I went to find the owner of the garden by myself.

"No, the owner of the garden asked me to lead the way. Hurry up, I'll wait for you outside." Xiaodongzi shook his head and rejected my proposal.

I couldn't help muttering, the owner of the garden watched me very closely these days, I was always accompanied by people everywhere I went, and I didn't have the opportunity to walk around by myself. This made me a little puzzled, why did the owner of the garden make such an arrangement?

I hurriedly took care of myself and followed Xiao Dongzi. I thought the owner of the garden was in the other courtyard, but Xiao Dongzi took me out of the other courtyard, turned east and west on the promenade, and came to the stage that had been built. .

"Owner, are you looking for me?" I saw the owner was already waiting there, so I walked forward quickly.

"Well, come with me." The garden owner turned and left, and I followed him in a daze.

The owner of the garden took me to a small building next to the stage, and he led me to a small box on the second floor, where refreshments were prepared on the table. I looked around, the box was simple and elegant, and there was only one chair and stool beside the table.

Apart from a pair of tables and chairs by the window, the entire private room has only a screen in the corner, without any other decorations. Except for a window, the walls are also empty, without any decorations of calligraphy and painting.

"You stay here today, don't go anywhere." The garden owner turned and told me lightly.

"Hey, but..." I was surprised, but before I could finish speaking, the garden owner interrupted me: "I'll explain to you later." After speaking, he closed the door of the box and left, leaving me alone inside.

I walked to the window of the box, opened the window slightly, and could clearly see the whole stage.I was very puzzled, this is so strange, did the owner of the garden specially bring me, just to let me come to listen to the play?

I sat down and found that the refreshments on the table were all to my liking, and I thought it was a bother to come to the owner of the garden, so I just relax for the time being and stay here as the owner ordered.

I picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it was lightly fragrant and pleasant, and I took a sip. It was sweet and refreshing, and it melted finely. I widened my eyes, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in my hand fell into the plate. I remember this taste!

I can hardly restrain my trembling hands, how could it be, how could I taste such a taste here?This is impossible, isn't this the craftsmanship of the Liang family cook?Why did it appear in Yuan Mansion?

I suddenly felt a little bit in my heart, could it be that Liang Zhongbo is also here?During the recent period, I intentionally forgot about this person. Who knew that at such a time, because of the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, I would think of this person again.

It's okay, I haven't met him at all, he won't know me, and he can't hurt me again, it's okay, don't make such a fuss, it's normal for him to come to Yuan's mansion, didn't he just replace Yuan Da Fewer posts?

I kept comforting myself, but I couldn't stop panicking. I didn't expect it. Just thinking about the possibility of meeting him made my heart tighten and ache. Could it be that I haven't forgotten it after so long?

I covered my heart and pursed my lips tightly. Even if I couldn't see it, my face must be extremely ugly now. When I touched the jade pendant in my lapel, the sentence flashed in my mind-this time, don't live in vain up.

I gradually calmed down, yes, I am different from before, this is the second time I have gone, I have experienced everything that will happen in the future, and I have this jade pendant again, I don’t have to be afraid of anyone anymore up.

I breathed a sigh of relief, when there was a sudden knock on the door, which almost made me jump. I collected myself and said calmly, "Come in."

The door opened with a "babble", and there were a few servants standing outside the door, holding trays in their hands, and they entered the box one by one. After putting down a few delicate dishes respectfully, they saluted me respectfully, and then left again. .

I raised my eyebrows slightly, four dishes and two soups, let me eat them all by myself?At this time, there was another knock on the door, and what else?I can't eat so much by myself, but the people who come here have nothing in their hands, and they are obviously not the slaves just now.

"Mr. Du, my servant Yuan Qi, these dishes are specially prepared for you by our master, I hope you are satisfied." The person came in and nodded to me, then said politely, but I was attracted by his name.

Yuan Qi? !Is this person Yuan Qi? !Is it a coincidence that they have the same name and surname, or is this the person I'm looking for?My heart was shaken, but it didn't show on my face, Yuan Qi, the person who bought my jade pendant at a high price in the previous life, if it wasn't for him, the pawn shop would still not want my jade pendant.

"Thank your master for me, I am very satisfied, he is polite." I nodded slightly, but who is his master?

"If there is anything else you need, just ask." Yuan Qi seemed relieved to hear that I was satisfied.

"Who is your master?" I asked hesitantly, not sure if the other party was willing to tell.

"Our master said that there will be a chance to meet Mr. Du. It's inconvenient to tell me now. I hope Mr. Du will be happy."

"Don't be so polite, please thank your father for me, thank him for looking up to Du Mou." I waved my hands again and again. I didn't expect to get an answer. embarrassment.

Thanks to the other party who thinks highly of me, and specially prepared my favorite dishes. Now that I think about it, this pavilion box is probably also arranged by that master. I don’t know how he persuaded the owner of the garden to let me stay here.

"Yuan Qi still has important things to do, so I will take my leave first, and please Mr. Du take care of himself." Yuan Qi left the room after speaking.

I secretly speculated that to have such an arrangement in Yuan's mansion, it must be someone from Yuan's mansion, but I don't know anyone in Yuan's mansion, why would that master treat me like this?

I couldn't figure it out, so I could only hold up the bamboo chopsticks to enjoy the dishes while wondering. When I felt half full, I put down the bamboo chopsticks and drank the soup that relieved the greasy feeling. I couldn't help sighing that the dishes on the table really fit my appetite.

"How is it?" The second young master leaned on the couch, flipping through the book in his hand.

"Young Master Du seemed very satisfied, and he even asked me to thank Second Lord on his behalf." Yuan Qi replied respectfully.

"Well, is there any more?" Second Young Master nodded slightly, and continued to ask indifferently.

"He asked about the second master's identity."

"How do you answer?" The second young master paused, looked away from the pages of the book, and glanced at Yuan Qi.

"The young one follows the second master's order and dare not speak nonsense." Yuan Qi lowered his head and replied respectfully.

"Well, I see." A smile flashed across Er Shao's eyes, and he quickly returned to calm. He thought for a while, and then ordered Yuan Qi: "Someone will bring a bowl of lotus seed soup over later."

Yuan Qi agreed, and the second young master asked him to retreat. After Yuan Qi left, the second young master stood up and walked to the window. Looking out from the window, he could see a pavilion not far away, and a figure by the window on the second floor.

Er Shao's eyes were deep and deep, and his eyes were tightly locked on the figure. Although due to the distance, he could only vaguely see a silhouette, but Er Shao's mind clearly showed the person's demeanor, whether it was on the stage or off the stage. .

After a long time, he retracted his gaze, turned and left the wing room. The servants were already waiting outside the door. He led the servants to walk on the swastika-shaped corridor, and another pair of masters and servants walked northeast of the corridor.

"Yo, isn't this the second brother?" The visitor was dressed in black, with a handsome face but a sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"Brother." The Second Young Master nodded to First Young Master Yuan, with a calm expression without any ups and downs.

"I have arranged your favorite Peking opera tonight, and I hope my second brother will enjoy it." First Young Master Yuan smiled jokingly, but his eyes were slightly cold.

"Brother, I'm sorry." The Second Young Master was still tight-lipped, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

First Young Master Yuan snorted coldly, turned around and left with his servants, he didn't like this younger brother since he was a child, and he became even more eccentric a while ago, with a cold face all day, no expression at all, a shabby look Sample.

The second young master looked at the young master's back until he could no longer see the young master, then turned his head and told the servant: "Go, let Yuan Qi stay there, no one can enter."
