Long Xiao wipes Qingfeng

Zhong Shuo stepped forward and said, "My lord, let me come."

Xiao Jiu dodged the hand holding the umbrella, "No, I'll just hold it."

Neither of them mentioned the matter just now, they walked along the river embankment in silence, the willow branches hanging down kept brushing against the umbrella surface of bamboo green, leaving a few faint water marks.

Although the oil-paper umbrella was big, Zhong Shuo consciously didn't want to touch Xiao Jiu, so half of his body was exposed, and soon the clothes on his shoulders were wet. When Xiao Jiu noticed it, he quietly turned the umbrella towards him. One side, covering him from the rain.

A girl carrying a small flower basket saw them from a distance, ran over holding a small umbrella, stopped in front of them, raised her head, and asked Xiao Jiu in a soft voice: "Did this young master offend Madam?" Happy? Madam doesn't pay any attention to you, nor does she smile at you."

Xiao Jiu laughed and said: "Yes, my wife is angry and won't talk to me, is there anything I can do?"

Mrs. Xiao Zhong Shuo: "..." Why did you ask him and not me, does he look like some kind of lady? !

The girl cleverly showed the flower basket in her hand to Xiao Jiu, "Young master, buy flowers for your wife, and your wife will be happy after receiving the flowers!" After a pause, she added, "My flowers are all flowers in my mother's morning room." It was just picked, it is very fresh, and there are many styles, just buy whichever son Madam likes."

Xiao Jiu looked at Zhong Shuo and said, "My wife likes it all. I bought your flower basket." Then he gave her some money.

The girl didn't dare to take the money, she put her hands behind her back and said, "I can't accept this."

Xiao Jiu said: "Look at your cuteness, here it is for you, go home quickly, don't be sick."

So Zhong Shuo held a small flower basket and watched the girl who had won the silver jump happily away, silently feeling sad for a big piece of silver.

prodigal.

Xiao Jiu was ignorant, and smiled at him: "I said something wrong today and lost my temper for no reason. Beining will forgive me after receiving the flowers, okay?"

Zhong Shuo knew that he was passing the steps to him, and suddenly he felt a little distressed. It was obvious that he had failed him first, so what could he do to make him be so cautious.

Zhong Shuo said, "Master, you were joking. It was my fault. You have lost interest, Mr. Tired."

Xiao Jiu said: "It's nothing, it's rare to see such lingering rain, it's good to take a walk, let's go, let's go for a walk?" Then he took Zhong Shuo forward again, but this time, he didn't insist took his hand.

The rain soon stopped, and Xiao Jiu wandered around the shops with an umbrella, buying some small things like sachets from time to time, Zhong Shuo helped him carry the things he bought, and the two of them were reconciled.

When he finally returned to his residence, Zhong Shuo had filled his hands with many of the things Xiao Jiu had bought, and the flower basket was in Xiao Jiu's hands. Wen, give her the rouge, powder, hairpin, etc. that she bought for women, and ask her to distribute them to the servants below. After Xi Wen left, Xiao Jiu only had a pair of sachets left in his hand, and he returned the flower basket to Zhong Shuo found a delicate little box slowly, put it in in front of Zhong Shuo, locked it again, and put it away carefully.

First Xiao Jiu talked to the sachet seller about buying a pair as a gift for his sweetheart, but now he locked them up, Zhong Shuo looked at his nose and his heart, pretending he didn't see anything.

After putting it away, Xiao Jiu asked him: "How to dispose of this flower basket? It will wither in two days." In his tone, there was obvious regret.

Zhong Shuo knew that he was reluctant to part with it, so he suddenly had an idea in his mind, and said, "Your Highness, leave it to me, and I will try to see if I can save it."

Xiao Jiu thought he was joking, after all there is no flower that doesn't wither, Zhong Shuo didn't say anything when he saw that he didn't believe it, and just let him wait for a few days.

Xiao Jiu said: "Let's go eat, I haven't tasted southern food yet."

In the restaurant before, he ran out without eating a bite, Zhong Shuo felt a little guilty, and hurriedly accompanied him out for dinner.

During the few days in Yangzhou, Zhong Shuo let Xiao Jiu do everything because of guilt, so Xiao Jiu had a good time except for the first day when he was hit a lot. He bought a bunch of stuff, I tasted almost all the snacks in Yangzhou, and even made several new clothes. Before I left, I couldn't forget that I hadn't seen Qionghua. I was holding a hot horseshoe cake in the carriage, and sighed while eating.

Zhong Shuo said: "If Your Highness wants to see Qionghua, you can come back in the future, and you can see it while it is in bloom."

Xiao Jiu glanced at him, and said sadly: "The flowers are similar every year, and the people are different every year. When I come to enjoy the flowers, I don't know if I can still have the old people to accompany me."

Zhong Shuo had nothing to do with him, Xizi held his heart in his arms from time to time, Dujuan wept blood at every turn, he looked like an abandoned woman when he changed into women's clothes, and he was naturally Chen Shimei who abandoned his wife...

Zhong Shuo said: "Your Highness, don't be sad, I will naturally accompany His Highness."

Xiao Jiu said again: "A man's words are the most unreliable. If you say yes today, you won't be able to say it tomorrow."

Zhong Shuo thought that he was simply making trouble for no reason, so he had to promise, "What I say will definitely work. If the time comes, if I refuse, Your Highness can deal with you as you like."

Xiao Jiu took another bite of the pastry, and said, "How powerful you are, I insist that I don't want to do anything to you, so I dare to say such a thing."

Zhong Shuo gave up and simply went out to ride horses with Songzhu. He looked at the young Songzhu, and felt a sense of sadness in his heart. He was also a young man in fresh clothes and angry with horses. , Shochiku is still unencumbered, but he is already full of vicissitudes.

Zhong Shuo patted Songzhu's shoulder and said, "Your marriage, let's take it easy."

Songzhu didn't understand why he said this suddenly, and said puzzledly: "Dare to ask your son, but what's wrong?"

Zhong Shuo said: "I haven't married you yet, so you should cherish the time before you get married. It's better than me. Only when you enter this door will you know the hardships."

Shochiku: "???"

Songzhu couldn't understand his suffering, Zhong Shuo understood, and only those who were married could understand.

Not long after, Xiao Jiu in the carriage called him again, and Zhong Shuo took out the solemnity of a thousand arrows piercing his heart and patted Songzhu's shoulder, and then trembling into the carriage, Xiao Jiu's voice faintly came from inside, It sounded like Xiao Jiu was persuading Zhong Shuo, Songzhu smiled at Xiao Jiu's guard, and the guard laughed and said, "Your Highness, there is nothing to say about being a son-in-law. If you can find a wife in the future It is a blessing in life to have half of His Highness as good as you."

Songzhu also echoed: "Isn't that right, it's just that my son is always a little reluctant."

The guard said: "That's not allowed, you can try to persuade your son-in-law even though your highness is not a woman, but with such considerateness, even a man would recognize it, not to mention that your highness's appearance and status are all first-class, the son-in-law will not suffer. ", this guard is Xiao Jiu's confidant, so like Songzhu, they all know Xiao Jiu's identity, and tacitly agree that Xiao Jiu and Zhong Shuo have been together for a long time, so they don't hide their words.

Songzhu said: "That's the reason, brother understands."

The guard said: "Of course, you are still young, I don't know, we are working hard for what we want, just want to have a caring person, and now the son-in-law is not bad."

Shochiku said "taught", and Xi Wen, who was sitting outside the carriage behind them, rolled her eyes, feeling sorry for her Highness, and also sympathized with Zhong Shuo.

After Zhong Shuo was tortured by Xiao Jiu for a few days, he finally took out a big box to gag Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Jiu looked at the box in front of him, and asked Zhong Shuo: "These days, you are often not in the car, so you are going to prepare this?"

Zhong Shuo nodded solemnly, "Your Highness, open it and have a look."

Xiao Jiu didn't know what was in the box, so she opened it carefully, and found a box of flowers inside, which were exactly the same as the ones she bought that day, except that these flowers were cut from the short stems and embedded in the box. On each of the silver hairpins, a whole set of flower hairpins was made, which looked exquisite and ingenious, and it was unique in the world.

Xiao Jiu originally thought that Zhong Shuo was just talking, but he didn't know that he actually had a way to preserve the flowers and made them into hairpins, which were so beautiful. He held up a camellia and touched it with his hands, only to find that it was made of silk cloth. Zhong Shuo seemed a little embarrassed, "I couldn't keep the fresh ones, so I found silk cloth, made elephant flowers, and embedded them in hairpins. Your Highness often wears them as women, and you can wear them with your clothes, or you can wear them as ornaments." people."

Xiao Jiu wondered, "I didn't know, but you still make flowers like this?"

Zhong Shuo explained: "When I was young, my father personally made such flowers to please my mother. When I saw them, I remembered them. It was easy to make, but it took a lot of work."

Xiao Jiu took the hairpin, looked left and right, and then looked at the one in the box, and liked it very much, "Thank you for your trouble, I like it very much, I will wear it often in the future, and I will definitely not reward others."

Zhong Shuo smiled and heaved a sigh of relief.

After Xiao Jiu looked at each one carefully, he called Xiwen again, gave her the box, and told her to keep it safe. This was the first time Zhong Shuo gave him something in return. Although it was for a woman, he was also happy. .

After Xiwen went out with the box, Xiao Jiu took the original camellia and said to Zhong Shuo, "It's the first time I wear it, so you can put the hairpin on for me."

Zhong Shuo took the hairpin from his hand, Xiao Jiu turned his head sideways, Zhong Shuo found a proper place in his temples, making sure that he would not hurt him, and then carefully put the hairpin on for him.

He said, "Your Highness, it's all over."

Xiao Jiu found a mirror from the small cabinet, looked around, and asked him, "Does it look good?"

Zhong Shuo said: "It looks good, Your Highness is born well, wearing this flower looks even better." His words were true, although Xiao Jiu's appearance was a bit taller, but her appearance was indeed first-class, and his hairpin was unusual Women have a sense of vulgarity, but they call him even more good-looking, and there is something unearthly in it.

Xiao Jiu glanced at the mirror again, and sighed quietly: "It's better than flowers."

Zhong Shuo said kindly, "Your Highness is prettier than flowers, and this camellia suits Your Highness very well."

Xiao Jiu was satisfied at this point, put down the mirror, took out the previous Buddhist scriptures for him, and motioned him to continue reading, so Zhong Shuo had no choice but to continue to enlighten Buddha.

When Zhong Shuo almost thought of becoming a monk, the group finally arrived in Linye in early November.
