Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword - Chapter 31
When Lin Rufei and Meng Lanruo returned to Meng’s house, they happened to meet Meng Youyue, who was sitting in the garden and taking care of flowers and plants. Holding a long pair of scissors in her hand, she was lowering her head to play with the flowers in front of her. There were two girls standing behind her, holding the flowers she had just picked.
I do n’t know how Mengfu did it. The hundreds of flowers in the garden are in great competition. At the same time, these stamens are either budding or blooming. I do n’t see a flower withering. I think it ’s a big flower. Take care of yourself.
“Meng Langruo, I think your skin is tight again.” Meng Youyue said with a smile in her eyes. “Look at you like a fat body, if you let your mother know where you are —— “
“Hey, sister, sister, my good sister, don’t tell your mother.” Meng Lang said nervously, “I just went to listen to Xiaoqu, how dare you do something else.”
Meng Youyue murmured at Meng Langruo: “You just have to fooling around, and you are taking Lin Gongzi …”
Lin Rufei smiled and gestured, saying that it was actually fun.
Meng Youyue said with a smile: “Lin Gongzi, my brother is unreliable. If anything offends you, you can forgive me a lot.”
Meng Langruo mumbled where he was, and Meng Youyue nodded with his finger on the forehead.
Although Lin Rufei ate the cakes in Hualou yesterday, she actually slept quite well, but Meng Lang could not stop yawning and rubbing her eyes. He and Lin Rufei called morning tea, and they ate each other.
Meng Lanruo’s attention was not on the food, and he twisted around in the chair, totally absent-minded.
At first Lin Rufei thought he was sleepy, but after seeing him several times, he hesitated to put down half of his milk and said, “Meng Gongzi has something to say?”
“Lin Gongzi,” Meng Langruo blinked, and said, “Have you ever seen” The Book of Flowers “?”
“Yang Hua Ji” is a very popular novel at present, spreading widely. It is about the story of a girl and a poor scholar in a flower house. Although the story is old-fashioned, the author’s writing is good, so it occasionally looks entertaining and down It’s also good, but this kind of words are usually girls’ favorite. The reason why Lin Rufei bought it was because Yu Rui saw it when she was visiting the bookstore and wanted to bring a copy.
If Meng Lanru had asked this question before, Lin Rufei would probably think that he was involved in a wide range, but after one night yesterday, Meng Lanruo ’s question seemed to have something else.
Lin Rufei looked at Meng Lanruo and said, “Have seen it.”
“Have you watched it?” Meng Langruo was excited when she heard Lin Rufei seeing it, holding her head a little closer, whispered, “My father and mother said these are idle books, let me read less, and If you talk too much, your brain will become bad … “
I do n’t know why, Lin Rufei really wanted to laugh while listening to Meng Langruo’s words, so she coughed two times, overshadowing the hidden smile in her own words, and said, “It ’s really a free book.” As for those who have seen too much brains, If it doesn’t become difficult, then I don’t know.
If Meng Lan came up, he continued, “What do you think of the story inside?”
Lin Rufei said: “It’s not bad.”
Meng Langruo said, “I think Xiao Yu is the girl in the picture book …” He didn’t have a loud voice, but said seriously, “It’s exactly the same as in the book.”
Hua Kui in The Book of Flowers is also really soft but good at dancing swords. When she is waiting for her favorite scholar in the building, even if others want to spend a lot of money to redeem her from the flower building, she is still reluctant to die. .
Lin Rufei looked at Meng Langruo and smiled, “Even if she is the Hua Kui, you are not her favorite scholar.”
Meng Langruo sighed and leaned back in her chair and said, “Yeah, but she has been in Xinzhou City for a year, and I have never seen any scholar she likes, just in case …” He whispered, “Want The person she really likes is me, just a little reserved and worried … “
Lin Rufei noticed Meng Lanruo’s impetuous heart, and he said, “What kind of worry will keep her from following you?”
Meng Langruo scratched her head: “I asked her too, she just said it was not yet, although I did n’t know what it meant …”
Lin Rufei looked at Meng Langruo, and there was a smile on his lips. Meng Lanruo’s youthful worries have a sense of innocence, which does not make people feel bored, but has a kind of childlike mess. The little boy of the Meng family is indeed well protected in the family. Looking at him, it seems that he understands the helplessness that the second brother occasionally produces when looking at himself.
Hualou is not an easy place to live. The wonderful girl who can live in it will not be a pitiful worm with no sense of the world. To underestimate them is to suffer.
What happened to Meng Lanruo and Xiao Yu? Lin Rufei said it was not good, but obviously, Meng Lanruo was deeply involved in this matter.
If Meng Lang had been tangled for a while, he became sleepy and yawned and said that he should go to sleep for a while, and when he woke up, come to Lin Rufei to play.
Lin Rufei signaled him to go and drank all the remaining milk in his hand.
As soon as Meng Lang left, Gu Xuandu sat in his place, leaning on the chair with his arms around his chest and watching Lin Rufei eating.
“How?” Lin Rufei thought his eyes were strange.
“What do you think of Meng Langruo?” Gu Xuandu asked.
“How? What does it mean?” Lin Rufei was inexplicable.
Gu Xuandu said: “Do you like it?”
Lin Rufei was questioned, but still replied: “It’s kind of like …”
Gu Xuandu stopped talking, and signaled that Lin Rufei continued to eat, but Lin Rufei felt that Gu Xuan would not ask such a word for no reason, and was planning to follow up, but Gu Xuandu said lazily. “Also, who wouldn’t like this cute young master?” He finished, sat upright, and slap Lin Rufei earnestly, “You look at me quite like you.”
Lin Rufei: “…” Why does he always feel that Gu Xuan is scolding himself.
However, Gu Xuandu didn’t seem to want to continue on this topic, and proposed to take a look around the scenery of Mengfu while the weather was good.
Lin Rufei agreed.
Mengfu is really big, but it is not empty, there are servants walking around. It is not easy to maintain a situation where flowers bloom, so most of these servants are waiting for flowers.
A small river runs through the entire Mon House. The river is clear and you can see beautiful fishes in it.
But after walking around for a while, Lin Rufei noticed a strange phenomenon, that is, the scent of unicorn grass can be smelled in almost every place in Mengfu. When he looked carefully, he found that unicorn grass was almost everywhere in Mengfu. Obviously it was deliberately planted.
“Why does Mon House like unicorn grass so much?” Lin Rufei said, “Everywhere.”
Gu Xuandu slowly said, “Maybe to keep the flowers in this room.”
Lin Rufei said: “There is still this effect?”
Gu Xuandu said, “Yes.” He briefly introduced the efficacy of the unicorn grass, saying that this grass is usually used to soothe the soul, but in fact it has other uses, that is, it can be used to retain things that are easily decayed. With more flowers, the unicorn grass should also play a role.
Fortunately, Lin Rufei didn’t hate this kind of aroma, but just smelled so much that it meant that the long-term orchid room didn’t smell its aroma, and that rich aroma became common.
After a circle in Mengfu, Lin Rufei planned to return to his room, but when he passed the corridor that he must pass, he met a familiar person–the one who was hated by Meng Langruo and sat in the corridor. Here, holding a fishing rod in his hand, he was fishing leisurely.
When he saw Lin Rufei, he greeted him with a smile, as if the person who had confronted Lin Rufei in the past few days was not him.
Lin Rufei nodded in return, and did not intend to talk to him more. When he was about to leave, Qi was outraged and stopped.
“If he is fine, can you chat with me for a while?” His tone sounded quite sincere.
Lin Rufei said, “What is Qi Gongzi doing?”
Qi Jisheng laughed and said, “I’m so busy, I want to fish for a while, but unfortunately, the fish won’t be hooked, it’s even more boring.”
Seeing Lin Rufei still hesitated, he apologized for yesterday’s incident and said that he was indeed Meng Lang, but he was not malicious to Lin Rufei, and urged Lin Rufei not to mind.
Having said that, Lin Rufei couldn’t refuse it anymore, so he walked beside Qi Jisheng and sat on the corridor.
“I heard Juyue said that you and Lang Ruo went to Hualou yesterday? How? But you still like it?” Qi Weisheng smiled and provoked the topic.
Lin Rufei said, “Make it easy.”
“Just make it up?” Qi Jisheng said, “I’ve been there before, but unfortunately, if I am too disgusted with me, I won’t take me there again.” With that said, his face was full of smiles. Drown.
Lin Rufei was silent for a moment, and asked, “How many years have you known with Lang Ruo?”
Qi Shengsheng said, “It’s been a few years.” He said with some memories in his voice, “Unfortunately, Lang Ruo was still a fool at that time. The longer these years, the more disobedient he becomes.”
This tone is strange, not like a friend of the same age, but like an elderly elder.
Lin Rufei and Qi Gansheng talked about something else. After letting go of hostility, Qi Gansheng felt pretty good, knowledgeable, and many things had their own unique opinions.
When the two talked about noon, Lin Rufei stood up and said goodbye. He said that he would return to the room to rest first, and asked casually before leaving. Why is there so much unicorn grass in this house, who knows when he heard this word The expression of triumph was a little stiff, but it soon returned to normal. With a smile, it was said that people in Xinzhou liked the aroma very much. They not only plant grass, but also use this scent. Even if they walked around the street, And I can smell everywhere.
Although Qi Yansheng’s expression changed rapidly, he was captured by Lin Rufei. He heard his explanation. Although Lin Rufei was puzzled in his heart, he didn’t ask much, nodded, and turned away.
There was a sudden sound of water behind him, and it seemed that something had bitten Qi Jisheng’s fishhook, but Lin Rufei remembered that Qi Jisheng’s fishhook was clean, without even the simplest bait.
Fuhua Yurui felt relieved when she saw Lin Rufei return.
Seeing that the maids were in a state of fear, Lin Rufei joked that he was also an adult man who had already won the championship, and he was not a child, so they didn’t have to worry like that.
Yu Rui pursed her lips and complained that the master was big-hearted, saying that the rivers and lakes were sinister, and there were many bad people.
Lin Rufei shook her cheek and smiled, “Should the bad guy’s favorite be such a confused little maid?”
Yu Rui didn’t know how to refute, and went out crying.
As soon as Lin Rufei sat down, a paper crane flew outside. Looking at the appearance of the paper crane, he knew that it must have come down from Kunlun Mountain. Lin Rufei took the paper crane and took it apart. Second brother’s handwriting. The letter was written by Lin Bianyu. Two or three sentences from the elder brother and three sisters were added at the back. Most of the contents were greetings and concerns. If you only read the content of the letter, it seems that Lin Rufei is a three-year-old child. A stone can stumble him.
After reading the letter, Lin Rufei took out the pen and ink and wrote back to the family, saying that he had sent the invitation to the Meng family. He planned to stay in Xinzhou City for a few days, and then went to the Central Plains, so that his brothers and sisters did not have to worry.
Of course, what these words say is about nothing, after all, in the eyes of brothers and sisters, he will always be a little pitiful without a chicken.
When he wrote the letter, Gu Xuan all looked at him with a smile in his eyes.
After finishing writing, Lin Rufei carefully released the paper crane and turned around to ask Gu Xuan what they were laughing.
“It’s nothing.” Gu Xuandu was serious, “I just think you look cute with your brows and pens falling down.”
Lin Rufei did not believe his ghost words, but Gu Xuandu refused to say, so he had to take a rest and rest.
I have to say that the Meng family is indeed a good place to recuperate. The environment in the yard is very good, and it is very quiet. The maidservant Zhuyin guarded by the door is also doing things properly. As long as it is what Lin Rufei may need, it is always delivered to the house in advance.
Lin Rufei drank the medicament and fell asleep deeply. After getting up, his body felt a lot easier. Although he still had a cough, his temperature had completely returned to normal.
After eating dinner, Lin Rufei took a break in the courtyard, and Zhu Yin lit the incense on the stone pillar at the entrance of the courtyard. Lin Rufei looked at her actions and didn’t say anything, but she felt that the Meng family ’s obsession with this spice really made One cannot understand.
If Meng Lang had slept for a day, he finally recovered his spirit. He ran to Lin Rufei’s yard to pull him out to go shopping. He said that the city of Xinzhou was very busy at night and it was a pity not to look at the night scene.
Lin Rufei quit, but had to follow him.
The city of Xinzhou is very big, and it is indeed lively at night. Although it is dark, there are bright lanterns hanging on the streets, and the entire street is illuminated with lights. People walking on it are noisy and noisy. I saw a few entertainers on the street.
He pulled out a few silver coins from his cuffs and threw them away as rewards. Meng Lanruo smiled and asked Lin Rufei what the night looks like on Kunlun.
“It depends on the mountains and the mountains.” Lin Rufei walked beside Meng Langruo and said his home. “The mountains are covered with snow all year round, there is no spring and no people, the mountains are slightly better, there are many disciples. But Kunlun The gates are very strict, and the disciples are usually very restrained. Only when the sword meets, there are some small markets. At the foot of the mountain, there is a small town with few people, but it is still interesting. There is a peach next to the town. Lin, there are monkeys in the forest who like bullying … “
Listening to Lin Rufei’s words, if Meng Lan showed his yearning, he sighed, “That’s good.”
Lin Rufei smiled: “Xinzhou City is also good, very beautiful.”
Meng Lanruo didn’t say a word, I thought I had watched for so many years, even the beautiful scenery was a bit tired.
The two walked along the street. Meng Lanruo proposed to ask Lin Rufei if he wanted to go to the riverside to see if it would be Qingming in a few days. They have the custom of putting lanterns to sacrifice the old people during the Qingming Festival. So these days There should be many beautiful lanterns floating on the river, which can be regarded as a beautiful view at night.
Lin Rufei thinks that Meng Lanruo’s temperament is really interesting. Ordinary people may feel uncomfortable or scared when they see such a scene, but he has no feeling, even eager to try, as if the lantern on the river is not for the ancestors, but Hidden crossword toy.
However, Lin Rufei did not resist this, so he accompanied Meng Langruo to the river.
At this time, it was late, but there were already many people on the river bank, and the lit lantern was set down along the flowing water. A little bit of sparkle shone on the dark river surface, and the Taotao water seemed to be a dark galaxy, with stars floating above it.
People not only set up lanterns, they also burn paper money and incense candles by the shore.
Lin Rufei and Meng Lanruo stood on the shore blowing the wind, and Meng Lanruo did not speak, as if thinking about something.
“Huh?” Gu Xuandu, who hadn’t appeared, suddenly heard from behind Lin Rufei. His tone was a little interesting, “Who do you think?”
Lin Rufei looked in the direction Gu Xuandu said, and saw an unexpected person, Qi Qisheng who had just seen it in the corridor.
The sky was very dark. If it wasn’t for Gu Xuandu’s reminder, Lin Rufei would not have noticed that Qi Yansheng squatted by the river and just sent out a lantern.
If it was only him, then he sent the lantern, but he said something to the person standing next to him, and the person turned his head, Lin Rufei happened to see her face, and there was a little stun in her eyes– It was actually Meng Lanruo’s good-looking in the flower building, the very beautiful little girl dancing sword dance.
The two of them are familiar? See you on the waterfront?
“Meng Gongzi’s hair is a bit green.” Gu Xuandu sighed.
The two seemed to have a good relationship. In the conversation, the expression was intimate, and Qi Qisheng even raised his hand to help Xiao Yu manage the hair that was disturbed by Jiang Feng.
Lin Rufei glanced at the Meng family little boy who squatted on the ground next to himself and threw mud into the river. He didn’t know what to say for a while. Should he let him take a look or pretend he didn’t? Notice it.
While Lin Rufei was seriously thinking about this, Meng Langruo suddenly looked up and looked in the direction he was looking. In the dark night, he seemed to notice the two people who were talking on the bank of the river in front. After raising his hand and rubbing his eyes, his expression froze.
It was a very indescribable expression, as if he saw a ghost, and was full of disbelief. He straightened up and saw the lips with a roar, and somehow swallowed it back. .
Meng Lanruo obviously saw it, and saw that he hated Qi Jisheng and his favorite Xiao Yuzhenglang, who was in a hurry, adjusted his oil.
Lin Rufei moved her eyes to the river, pretending that she was looking at the lantern.
“Lin Gongzi.” Meng Langruo squeezed a sentence from his mouth, “I’m a little uncomfortable, let’s go back first.”
“OK.” Lin Rufei nodded.
If Meng Lan turned his head and walked, his steps were hurried and panicked, and he was almost not tripped. It was Lin Rufei who helped him so that he would not fall to the ground.
Until the two returned to Mengfu, Meng Langruo did not speak again.
However, just as the two of them were about to separate, Meng Lanruo suddenly opened his mouth, with a tender crying voice in his voice. He said, “Lin Gongzi, did you see that, right?”
Lin Rufei was dumb. He wanted to pretend that he didn’t see it, but in the face of Meng Langruo, he couldn’t say anything when he lied. He finally turned into a deep sigh. He reached out and gently held Meng Lang. Ruo’s shoulder nodded slowly.
The young man who has never experienced these things finally couldn’t help sobbing. He felt a bit embarrassed, and wiped his cheek tears with his hand, generally choking, “How can he do this, how can he … … “
Because of too much force, the white cheeks were rubbed with crimson, and even faint bloodshots appeared.
“This … may just be a misunderstanding.” Lin Rufei felt that although Meng Lanruo hated Qi hate victory in his mouth, the relationship between the two was not as bad as he imagined, otherwise he could rush over to question Qi on the spot. Why dissatisfied with Xiao Yu. Only in the face of a friend’s betrayal can he show such an overwhelmed expression.
“He was in front of me, and he persuaded me to stay away from Xiao Yu, saying that she was not a good person, and that the women in Hualou were all hypocritical.” Meng Langruo cried. “Qi hates this liar, big liar , I hate him the most, and obviously like my sister, even carrying my sister to do such a stingy thing !! “
Lin Rufei’s words are lingering, I really don’t know how to comfort Meng Langruo.
But obviously Meng Lanru did n’t need him to say anything either. He finished the call and shuffled his face, revealing an extremely ugly smile: “I’m sorry, Prince Lin, I’m in a state of malformation, please rest early … I’ll go back to the room first. “
Lin Rufei frowned and said, “You might as well find Qi Jisheng, and talk about it with him …” What if there is a misunderstanding.
However, Meng Langruo shook his head heavily, and his expression gradually calmed down, saying: “My family didn’t want me and Xiao Yu to be too much involved. Even if this is true, no one will face me, let alone Xiao Yu. … Xiao Yu never promised me to let me redeem. I still think who she is waiting for, now I finally know. “
If Meng Lang said this, he would say goodbye to Lin Rufei and turn around and leave.
Lin Rufei looked at his desolate figure and was really worried that he would do something stupid. He frowned and said to himself: “What can I do, this little boy of the Meng family will not do anything radical? Right. “
Gu Xuan all lazily said, “His patience, can he break the sky?”
Lin Rufei did not agree: “Maybe.”
Gu Xuandu also said, “What day would you see your lover and others in private?”
Lin Rufei thought for a moment: “Maybe the adulterer will be struck with a sword.”
Gu Xuandu: “Don’t you blame your lover?”
Lin Rufei said, “Where do you know, maybe it’s strange, maybe you can’t bear it.” He turned to look at Gu Xuandu again, “What about you?”
Gu Xuandu said solemnly: “I will not allow this to happen.”
Lin Rufei said: “But what if there is a case?”
Gu Xuandu sneered: “In case? There is no case.”
He could stay with someone bathing, what else could happen.
The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: I don’t believe anyone can green me!
Lin Rufei: This peony is really beautiful.
Gu Xuandu: …
Lin Rufei: This peony is so beautiful
Gu Xuandu: …
Lin Rufei: This …
Gu Xuandu: Are you deliberately mad at me? ?
