spring water

Chunshui got up early every day to help Song Manzhen dress up, and then took a small boat to the Song Mansion, where a special maid gave her the exquisite food she had cooked.The food was packed in delicate food cages, and wrapped in a layer of cloth, even if the water flowed slowly, the food would still be hot when it arrived in Song Manzhen's hands.

Song Manjun knew what Song Manzhen liked to eat, and every time Chunshui brought back the food Song Manzhen looked at, she was not without a little touch in her heart.Although Song Manzhen had been at odds with her eldest sister since she was a child, Song Manjun still took care of her.Song Manzhen knew that her sister had evil spirits and ruthlessness, but it was external, and she was quite scrupulous towards herself at home.Although she used the method of house arrest to trap Song Manzhen at home and caused Chunshui to almost die, but after thinking about it, it was for Song Manzhen's good... The method was disdainful, but, after all, blood is thicker than water.

Thinking of this, Song Manzhen's expression became a little disappointed, thinking that she was too self-willed.

And back then, the elder sister had a deep love for Zhenzhen, didn't she?It's a pity that everything was played by fate, so they didn't end well.

Thinking of Zhenzhen, Song Manzhen felt melancholy, glanced at Chunshui who was sitting across from the pasta and said nothing, and sighed deeply as the bits and pieces of past memories flooded.

"What's the matter?" Chun Shui asked after chewing the food in his mouth, "The weather is so good today, and you still sigh, be careful to scare away all your good thoughts."

The sun is shining today, and the spring scenery in the hall is fascinating, and the spring water bathed in the sun is even more charming.

Song Manzhen smiled and said, "It's just recalling some things from the past."

"What happened in the past?" Chun Shui's eyes rolled slightly, "Well, let Guess remember who, could it be the story that is very similar to him and has passed away?"

Song Manzhen's face became hot, and she remembered that she had indeed said this to Chunshui, and what she was thinking at that time was Zhenzhen.

Song Manzhen didn't hide it: "Yes, I thought of her. Counting the days, she has been dead for four full years."

"So, does she really look alike?"

"It's not that they are similar in appearance, it's just that they both have a very friendly atmosphere."

"Everyone likes it?"

Song Manzhen put down the bowl and chopsticks, took Chunshui's hand and said: "The past is always the past, and now there is only one most important thing in my heart."

Chun Shui originally wanted to tease her, but when she saw her suddenly speak so solemnly, with seriousness written all over her face, she couldn't help laughing, and covered her hands with her hands: "Silly Manzhen, can you really know how to eat?" This kind of jealousy? I would have known it earlier, and there is only one in my heart... "

Song Manzhen's previous haze was swept away by Chunshui. After eating, Chunshui washed the dishes and chopsticks, and the two went for a walk by Yingyue Pool hand in hand.The warm spring light enveloped the whole body, and there was another piece of green trees and beautiful water in front of him. Song Manzhen only hoped that the days would pass more slowly, and let the spring water stay by his side forever.

Song Manzhen walked along the pond with Chunshui, passed through a peach blossom forest, and there was an ancient tower in front of him.

"This is the Yangfo Pagoda. It existed before the Xia Dynasty." Song Manzhen said to Chun Shui, "It is said that a little fox fell in love with this monk hundreds of years ago and came to this pagoda every day. Look at that monk chanting scriptures. The little fox listened to many scriptures, and over time he turned into a human being, wanting to live with monks, gods, immortals and couples. Not to mention the different ways of demons, the monk has long since converted, and he has long ignored the love of the world. The fox's admiration is even more worrying. The little fox was so angry that he couldn't make love, so he used the magic method to kill many innocent people. Seeing that she killed innocent people indiscriminately, he couldn't keep her, so he took her in a cassock Buddhist bag and suppressed her. In this pagoda, the little fox lost her freedom in the Buddhist bag, but achieved her greatest happiness."

"The monk treated her like this, and she lost her freedom. How can there be any happiness?" Chun Shui was angry, and his voice raised involuntarily.

Song Manzhen only said that Chunshui was agitated because she wanted to vent her anger for the little fox, so she smiled and said, "Think about it, although the little fox can no longer do whatever she wants, but she can live with the monk in this tower, which in itself is a kind of kindness. I'm happy. Think, the little fox is not naturally violent, but just wants to attract the monk's attention."

Chun Shui felt really uncomfortable hearing what Song Manzhen said: "That little fox is really stupid, and the monk doesn't like her, so why would she pay for someone she doesn't like? What's the result? He is going to die, where is the little fox?"

Song Manzhen said: "The monk did not die. He devoted himself to the Buddha, and finally became a Buddha and left the world. And the little fox stayed in this pagoda alone. Although she has the ability to escape from the Buddhist bag But after all, he was willing to stay in the pagoda. Several years later, the little fox did not know whether he was alive or dead, but people could often hear the sound of chanting sutras from the demon pagoda. Hence the name."

Chun Shui sneered and said: "This story sounds poignant, but that little fox is too stupid. She is devoted to the Buddha, and she is not in her heart at all. She even sacrificed herself just to beg for a little bit of happiness by the other party's side, but that happiness is also not enough." It's just her self-consolation. The other party doesn't love her, and even traps her here. Without a trace of emotion, she still dreams of happiness. It can be seen that she is the most stupid vixen in time."

Hearing this, Song Manzhen felt more and more that Chunshui used the little fox's affairs to express her inner depression.

Song Manzhen stroked Chunshui's hair and said softly: "The little fox is not stupid, it's just an infatuation. It would be fine if she fell in love with someone else or someone from the same race. Unfortunately, fate is not love, and wishes can come true." .”

Chun Shui also knew that he was a little impulsive, and immediately lowered his voice and said on Song Manzhen's arm: "I also know the reason, but... maybe if you really love it wrong, your life will be ruined."

Song Manzhen nodded her nose: "The best way is to turn around and fall in love."

Hearing what she said about Chun Shui, she knew why she was angry.Indeed, the story of the little fox made Chunshui think of Gan Muqing. Although he hadn't seen Gan Muqing for several months, he still felt young and ignorant when thinking about it. Wishful thinking to destroy himself for her was just to get a little comfort from the other party. ... Those days and nights of Spring River Night are really stupid and depraved.

"Why, Xiao Chunshui is shy again?" Seeing that Chunshui was silent, Song Manzhen teased her.

"What little Chunshui, it's getting smaller and smaller." Chunshui immediately grabbed Song Manzhen's neck and kissed her on the lips.Song Manzhen did not expect that Chunshui would do such an outrageous thing in broad daylight. Although he will not be here, it also taught Song Manzhen to be shy.

"Spring Water..."

Chun Shui stuck out his tongue and pulled Song Manzhen back to Yingyuexuan.

On this day, Chun Shui still came to Song Mansion by boat, and met Liu Yutang at the door of the back kitchen.

Liu Yutang was wearing a clean green shirt, and his heavy shawl was gone in the warmth of spring. When he saw Chunshui, he greeted her politely: "How is Miss Chun'er today?"

Chun Shui twitched the corners of his mouth and replied: "It's fine with her, Liu Da has nothing to worry about."

Liu Yutang naturally understood that "she" was referring to Song Manzhen, and also knew the meaning of her bringing Song Manzhen up to the stage together, and he felt a little sour in his heart and didn't speak. At this moment, Chunshui was about to walk past him .

"Chun'er..." Liu Yutang stopped her.

Chun Shui stopped but did not turn around.

"Chun'er, you don't need to be so guarded against her. It's just... just seeing each other once in a while, that's enough."

Liu Yutang's begging for perfection made Chunshui feel agitated, and he responded immediately: "Liu Da, don't be so humble, there are many people in Lanzhou City who are waiting to uphold justice, please."

Liu Yutang was at a loss for words and couldn't say anything, so he could only watch Chunshui disappear from his sight.

She had just rushed back from his city an hour ago, and went straight to the Song Mansion without having time to do anything. She stood here for a long time before waiting for Chunshui, and after being reprimanded by Chunshui, she left Lanzhou City in a carriage for important matters.She thought it would be good to see Chunshui only, but unfortunately she saw her face, and she lost her self-esteem and got only Chunshui's cold eyes.

Chunshui left Liu Yutang's affairs aside from Yuexuan, and after entering the room, he chatted and laughed with Song Manzhen, then ate and went to bed.The next day was the same thing again.Although life is monotonous, Chunshui likes it very much. Every day when he leaves Song Manzhen and comes to Song Mansion, he always thinks about what Manzhen is doing and what to say to her when he goes back.

This time, the maid who brought the meal was empty-handed, and only said that the eldest lady had an invitation, and she wanted to show Chunshui the way to see the eldest lady.

As soon as Chunshui heard that the eldest lady wanted to see her, her scalp felt numb—she really didn’t want to see Song Manjun at all, she didn’t want to know why Liu Yutang was still alive, and what happened to Song Manjun when the first-rank censor died She confessed that she didn't want to know all this, she just wanted to live a peaceful life with Song Manzhen.

But Song Manjun invited her to see her and had to go.Chunshui had a bad premonition in his heart, but he was also glad that Song Manjun was the only one he wanted to see. As long as Manzhen was not disturbed, so what if Chunshui went to see Song Manjun?

Chunshui followed the maid to Song Manjun's house, and the maid meant to let Chunshui go in by herself.

Chun Shui pushed the door open and walked in, and immediately smelled the pungent smell of tobacco.She moved in and saw Song Manjun smoking a pipe on the wide chair.Thick smoke filled the whole room, and Chun Shui couldn't help coughing.

"Ah, I'm so sorry, I didn't notice you came in." Song Manjun sat up lazily from his chair, put the long bong with a phoenix embossed in the sky on the table, took out the tobacco pouch and put on the cigarette cap, but the smell of smoke will not dissipate for a while.

Chun Shui held his breath, frowned and said, "What's the matter with Miss Song?"

Song Manjun sat up straight, and suddenly the clothes on his shoulders fell off, revealing his smooth shoulders, and half of his chest was faintly hidden in the clothes.Chun Shui glanced away and immediately looked away, Song Manjun closed his clothes with a smile, and said:

"I'm too lazy to talk so much about the scene, so just talk to me wherever you think of it. Liu Dawei traveled across the mountains and ridges just to see him, but he spoke coldly to him. Is there such a thing?"

Chun Shui sneered: "I didn't expect Liu Da to come to Missy to complain. I don't know how Missy wants to deal with slaves?"

"I didn't want to deal with it, my beloved sister still wanted to take care of it. It's just that Liu Da's infatuation can't be ignored, right?"

Chun Shui asked back: "Miss, you mean that Chun'er will have a private meeting with Liu Da while staying with Man Zhen?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

"Miss, what should it be!" Chun Shui was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say.

Song Manjun got up, and approached Chunshui in two or three steps. Chunshui didn't retreat, and faced Song Manjun directly.

"What is it? It's a prostitute, what's wrong?" Song Manjun's understatement was full of insults.Chun Shui felt depressed, clenched his fists, and stared at Song Manjun.

Song Manjun hooked her chin: "This expression is not bad, but it's just too silly. I really thought that I would let Manzhen be by her side and just serve her? If you really want Manzhen to live happily and happily, just obediently listen to what you mean." Do it, otherwise everyone will lose if they shoot at each other, do you want to see such a scene?"

Chunshui didn't let Song Manjun touch her at first: "Why did you do that?"

Song Manjun still said in a lazy tone: "These major events in the world are not easy to understand. You only need to make a small chess piece to complete the task assigned, and don't worry about the rest."

Chunshui rushed out of the door, Song Manjun only smiled when he saw her walking away quickly, then sat back on the chair and continued to light the unburned tobacco...
