When The Flowers Falls, I’ll See You Again - Chapter 37
Chapter 33
In the early spring of February, the flowerbed is full of fresh green eyes, white clothes like snow, and red clothes like fire.
The maids presented small silver scissors.
Duan Fei smiled and pushed the person in his arms: “A good flower matches a beauty, go and choose two flowers to wear.”
The weather is still cold, the flowers are just waking up and budding, the late plum blossoms have just withered, the peach blossoms are about to spit, and the early apricot blossoms are also blooming one or two branches. Only the clump of camellias under the **** is in full bloom, moistened by a few drizzles in the morning, the color of the flowers is darker, red and beautiful, and from a distance it looks like a group of burning flames.
As if there was a strange force guiding her, Hong Ning moved in her heart and walked over slowly.
The closer you get, the more vivid the camellia, as if it had life.
Hong Ning leaned over to make a selection, but in fact she was in a daze. Since entering this garden, she has always been surrounded by a familiar and uneasy feeling, but she can’t tell what’s wrong. Every scene here, every person , and the daily occurrences are the same as the ones she has experienced before, and there is nothing unreasonable, but listening to Zhuxuan, this camellia, it makes her feel familiar, as if there is some voice in the dark. call.
While in a trance, Duan Fei reached out and pulled her up: “What’s wrong?”
Hong Ning hurriedly put aside her thoughts and smiled: “There are so many, I don’t know which one to choose.”
Duan Fei looked at the flower and then at her: “This flower is the best for you, I’ll choose it.”
Seeing Xiaoyinjian stretched out to the flower branch, she suddenly felt heartache for no reason. Hong Ning took his hand: “Forget it, pick it up and do it well, it’s better to keep it blooming for a long time and look good.”
Duan Fei smiled and lowered his head: “Beauty knows how to cherish flowers, and she should also understand that if there are flowers that can be folded straight, they must be folded.
It’s not surprising to think of these two poems in this situation, but when he read it out, it brought a bit of provocation for no reason. Hong Ning couldn’t help laughing. It can be seen that there are coincidences everywhere in the world, and what is even more coincidental is that the two have a relationship in their previous lives, and they meet again in this life. I don’t know what will happen.
She just didn’t understand: “I haven’t read a few books, how can I be as elegant as Duan Gongzi.”
Duan Fei didn’t force her: “Don’t wear flowers?”
Hong Ning pointed at the red apricots on the wall: “Pick two.”
Duan Fei handed the silver scissors to the maid.
The two fresh red apricots were really beautiful, they were cut just right, and the maid who picked the flowers had a good eye, but when Hong Ning received it, she felt irritable and threw it away: “I don’t wear it anymore.”
Duan Fei was neither surprised nor angry, and said with a smile, “It turns out that I misunderstood you and mistook you for someone who cherishes flowers.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a well-dressed domestic servant in his fifties approaching. It was Steward Han who had greeted the maids. He stepped forward and asked, “Young Master, this is the only platform left now, is it as soon as possible? Start work?”
Not far away, there are huge boulders piled up as high as mountains. I thought they were waiting to shovel these flowers and use them to build a platform for picking up the platform. Hong Ning looked down at the bunch of camellias. Although she couldn’t bear it, she didn’t say anything to discourage it. , can’t protect for a lifetime, no matter how hard you try, you still can’t escape the predetermined fate.
Duan Fei glanced at her: “This camellia is blooming well, I’ll keep it for the beauty to see for a few days, and then start the construction.”
Butler Han agreed to retreat.
Hong Ning said: “Why delay the construction period.”
“If you like it, it’s okay to delay it for a few days,” Duan Fei hugged her and lowered his face, “If you’re grateful, just kiss me.”
There was low laughter all around.
Talking half-truths and doing things as he pleases, this person doesn’t seem to know the word “identity” at all. When he was never serious, Hong Ning was angry and helpless, pushed him away and left.
The room was full of colorful flowers, such as peach blossoms, chrysanthemums, orchids, apricots, and so on. Lu Jiu was half lying on the bed in white clothes, smiling and asking a flower fairy to turn into a peony. It was after he woke up. Lu Yao proposed to move out of the Huachao Palace and put him in a house in Huachao City to recuperate from his wounds. Because of his status as the son of the Northern Realm, most of the flower fairies are flattering, and it also hinders those who dare not offend. , away from Jinxiu’s sight, he became more and more arrogant.
Lu Yao lifted the curtain and walked in, her pretty face sank when she saw this, and she ordered all the immortals to back down: “Well, the scar has forgotten the pain, I moved here because I was afraid that he would see you being rude, and you are still making trouble. what.”
Lu Jiu didn’t care at all: “Congratulations on getting your wish.”
Lu Yao walked over and sat down: “This is strange, what do you mean?”
Lu Jiu’s smile continued, “My future brother-in-law was determined to make that girl an immortal, but now you accidentally let me out and fell into her hands, but she was rescued by my future brother-in-law. What do you think will happen to that girl?”
Lu Yao pretended not to understand: “How do I know how she is.”
Lu Jiu said, “That girl is very stubborn, do you think she doesn’t hate my future brother-in-law?”
Lu Yao glanced at him: “Does she hate what to do with me?”
Lu Jiu smiled and said, “What’s wrong, if she becomes an immortal and walks around in front of her brother-in-law every day, her brother-in-law will inevitably relapse, and maybe she will keep her by her side. Now she hates her brother-in-law and refuses to cultivate immortality any more, and she will miss this life. Always be a mortal, and you can sit back and relax from now on.”
Lu Yao said: “That’s because you think too much, and you will wrong your sister without any evidence?”
Lu Jiu said, “You have been very meticulous since you were a child. How could you leave evidence? Princess Zhongtian has already caught it. You are still not satisfied, and you want too much.”
Lu Yao said, “If you can ask for more, why not.”
Lu Jiu sneered: “I’m afraid that the nine tails are not greedy enough, and they try to figure it out, but in the end, they won’t get anything.”
Lu Yao’s face changed slightly and glared at him.
Lu Jiu laughed and pointed at her: “That’s right, keep your kindness to your brother-in-law. What are you pretending to do with me? Can you guarantee that you are the only woman in the Palace of the King of Heaven in the future?”
The anger gradually dissipated, Lu Yao sighed: “That’s different, I’m still afraid of them in terms of appearance? No one knows what kind of temper he was back then, and now this girl has been in the world for ten lives, he still can’t forget it, it can be seen that he is not in love. Her beauty.” She said softly, “Ajiu, you and I are brothers and sisters after all, even if there is grievance, how could I hurt you, if I hadn’t asked him in time last time, you would have already died in Kunlun Tianjun’s beheading. The sword is down.”
Lu Jiu coughed twice, and then showed a little sickness, and sneered: “This time, you almost ruined my thousand-year practice.”
Lu Yao said, “I didn’t expect that girl to be so powerful.”
Lu Jiu said, “Do you know why she hates me so much?”
Lu Yao said, “Because of her senior brother.”
Lu Jiu said, “Didn’t the emperor have given Jinlianlu already, as long as she cultivates an immortal, it will come from the day we meet, but why is she not willing?”
Lu Yao’s face was not very good.
Lu Jiu smiled and said, “No matter how smart you are, you are still a woman. Do you think it’s because she hates her brother-in-law?”
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, she suddenly said, “She doesn’t know about this, your brother-in-law didn’t tell her?”
Lu Jiu said: “So you might as well try it out, if that’s the reason, she might be willing to cultivate immortals if she knows, brother-in-law can only be grateful to you, after a thousand years, when she reunites with her senior brother, she won’t hate me any more, and my brother-in-law will also die. , you can also rest assured that everyone is well.”
This may be a good way, but who can guarantee that she will not eliminate her hatred for him after knowing it, and that there will be no more accidents? In the tenth life in the world, he didn’t give up, so what if he became immortal with someone else, as long as she was there, his heart would never come back.
Lu Yao turned the teacup and smiled: “Now she suddenly disappeared, I’m looking for it.”
At the beginning of March, there was a happy event in Zheng Gong’s house in the city, and he invited relatives and friends for a banquet. Zheng Gong was also a prominent figure in Ganzhou City. Therefore, in the early morning, Zheng’s house was full of cars and horses, and there were many guests. Officials and big households were all invited, and they brought their female relatives to the door to congratulate them. The sound of firecrackers was very lively.
A gorgeous carriage came slowly, followed by seven or eight well-dressed domestic servants on horseback.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of Zheng Mansion, the curtain was lifted, and a young gentleman came out, with gorgeous robes, tall and handsome figure, vigorous and unrestrained actions, attracted the attention of all the female guests, and shook their heads after hearing his name. Laughing, the few girls who had not left the cabinet turned around in shame, but secretly glanced at him. To a certain extent, although the name Duan Fei symbolized youthful and promising, it was also synonymous with sloppy wandering.
Where there is Duan Fei, there is naturally no shortage of beautiful women, and each time it is different, everyone is wondering what kind of beauty will be this time.
Sure enough, after Duan Fei stood still, he turned around and helped a woman in red from the car. The red-colored shirts, the finest fabrics, the finest workmanship, and the most fashionable styles make her slightly thin body appear a bit graceful, with a clear smile, and she looks bright and enthusiastic.
The men present began to comment in private, and most of them showed admiration, on the contrary, the women just sneered.
This person has always been easy to talk, but he must stand in Ganzhou and must not offend him. Zheng Gong personally greeted him. The gift list and congratulations had already been sent to him. Duan Fei bowed his hands to congratulate him and said a few auspicious words. Zheng Gong laughed and dragged him into the door.
Although Zheng Mansion is not as rich and beautiful as Duan Mansion, the rules are much stricter than Duan Mansion, showing the style of a big family. As soon as Duan Fei entered, a woman who specially greeted the female family members came up and invited Hong Ning into the back garden to join the crowd. The ladies sat in one place, drinking tea and enjoying flowers, chatting and laughing.
Seeing her coming, everyone greeted Duan Fei politely, calling her “girl”, a well-known romantic son. Everyone knew that he would not marry a wife, and he did not admit to taking her as a concubine. The most suitable. Hong Ning didn’t care, she complied generously, let the little maid play by herself, and sat quietly drinking tea. Duan Fei took her to the banquet today, and she didn’t ask any more. Interested, so she sat for a while and then got up and left under the pretext of viewing the flowers.
Not far from walking, there were voices of discussion and strange disdain eyes behind him. What kind of identity would a woman who accompanies Young Master Feng Liu have a good identity? These ladies treat her politely on the surface, but they are still contemptuous in their hearts. thing.
In the past month, Duan Fei has treated her very well. He has thought of everything she thought of, and he will also think of what she did not think of. Everything depends on her, and there is no intention of coercion.
Merry young masters are all like this, changing the way to capture a woman’s heart, who knows what is true or false, Hong Ning lowered her head and smiled, vaguely feeling uneasy, but she couldn’t say what was wrong.
When she was distracted, someone called her from behind: “Why don’t you go and sit, girl, it’s more lively.”
Hong Ning turned her head and saw two women walking side by side. One of them was a young lady dressed up, and the other was Miss Su, the daughter of the prefect of Su who was fighting with her on the street that day to buy a sword. I wonder if it was a coincidence, she today She also wore a red shirt, with sparkling pearls, and she was a famous beauty, and she was even more stunning when she wore makeup.
Also wearing red clothes, skin like snow and hair like clouds, but the men in the distance looked over, and for the first time did not stop their eyes on Miss Su.
This red dress seemed to be a natural fit for her, and the dazzling brilliance concealed all her shortcomings.
Hong Ning naturally didn’t pay attention, but Miss Su was a little resentful. She consciously bumped into a woman with a low status and even compared it, so she specially pulled the lady over to say hello, smiling: “I didn’t know you that day. Identity, don’t take offense.”
The other party emphasized the word “identity” intentionally or unintentionally. How could Hong Ning not understand, and said lightly, “Miss Su is polite.”
Miss Su smiled and pushed the woman next to her and introduced, “This is Mrs. Wen’s.”
“I saw that the girl’s clothes were very new, and I’ve never seen this hairpin before, so I came to see and see,” Mrs. Wen did not salute, and looked up and down with Hong Ning’s eyes, “Young Master Duan is the most sympathetic and cherishing jade, if the girl serves me with all her heart. , there will be more benefits in the future.”
Hong Ning doesn’t like to dress up by nature. Today, because she and Duan Fei went to the wedding banquet, she didn’t want to be too plain, so she wore two or three pieces of jewelry. But these two or three pieces have already compared the other party’s full body of jewelry. Women are unavoidable. Jealousy, so her “serving servant” has another meaning, which is clearly to satirize her for dealing with other people. Miss Su has not left the cabinet, so she turned her face to one side, only to be inaudible.
Hong Ning smiled slightly: “Really, I didn’t understand before, thank you Madam for teaching.”
Mrs. Wen blushed suddenly, she didn’t feel good, and sneered: “I don’t know which building did the girl come from?”
Hong Ning said: “It’s just an inconspicuous little place. Madam is interested, and Hong Ning is willing to lead the way.”
Seeing that Mrs. Wen didn’t take advantage of it, she was provoked instead. Miss Su hurriedly said, “The girl is now living in Duan Gongzi’s house, and the second sister always asks what to do.” After speaking, she turned to look at Taohua next to her and changed the subject. “When it comes to peach blossoms, Liangzhou is still the most famous. It’s a pity that the Three Kings rebelled for so long. I passed by with my father the other day, and there were no people in a radius of tens of miles, and the peach blossoms didn’t bloom. It’s depressing and pitiful.”
Mrs. Wen said, “At that time, we didn’t dare to do business.”
Miss Su smiled: “Fortunately, our Ganzhou is far away, and my father is not affected.”
The two of them were gossiping, and Hong Ning was stunned to hear it. She always felt uneasy, but she often felt the same way recently. With three cups of hot tea: “Do you want tea, ladies and gentlemen?”
Mrs. Wen smiled and looked at Hong Ning: “After talking for so long, my mouth is dry. Miss Lao will bring me a cup.”
She clearly brought a maid, but deliberately ordered others, how could Hong Ning not know that she was using this to show her identity, but at this time, she refused to appear stingy, and cares about these trivial matters, so she took a cup and handed it over.
Madam Wen was about to pick it up when she suddenly asked, “Why is my jade pendant missing?”
Miss Su understood, and immediately ordered the maids to lean over and look for it.
Hong Ning frowned as she held the tea, the tea was freshly poured, and it became hotter and hotter across the cup, and the maid who served the tea left in a blink of an eye, so rude, it was clear that the two of them deliberately colluded to watch a joke, and then there was no shelving nearby. It would be embarrassing for someone else to lose the teacup or get burned, but this is just a trivial matter for Hong Ning, she has no patience to watch the two girls acting again, and was about to get away, but she accidentally swept her eyes away and dismissed it immediately. this thought.
“Sir Duan.”
“Young Master Duan is here.”
Hearing the voice, Mrs. Wen and Miss Su hurriedly stood up to salute, and Miss Su asked with a smile, “Why is Young Master Duan not over there and running backwards?”
“Come and see my beauty,” Duan Fei responded casually, walking in front of Hong Ning, “I heard that the beauty has sent the girls out, and there is no one to serve them, which may be inconvenient.”
Seeing that he didn’t look at her, Miss Su blushed and smiled reluctantly.
Mrs. Wen teased: “Mr. Duan has always been good to girls.”
Duan Fei didn’t change his face, and took the tea cup from Hong Ning’s hand: “Why are they so rude, they should come to receive the tea after drinking, there is no reason for the guests to hold it…”
The teacup fell to the ground.
“Who brought the tea, there are no rules!” Duan Fei stepped back half a step to avoid the splashing tea, his face sullen, “These girls are thick hands and feet, you should scold them, are they hot?”
Seeing that he deliberately made such a concerned look, Hong Ning smiled secretly. Since the other party was too much, she didn’t intend to pretend to be too arrogant, and shook her head: “Girls, it’s nothing, it’s Mrs. Wen who wants to drink tea, so I can take it for her.”
Duan Fei’s face was cold, and he turned to look at Mrs. Wen.
Mrs. Wen’s face was red and white, but she didn’t know what to say.
How could Duan Fei not see it when he brought a maid and asked others to deliver tea to the servants, and said lightly, “My people are only worthy of the lady’s orders to deliver tea.”
Seeing something was wrong, Miss Su hurriedly put on a look of apology and stepped forward to explain: “Second sister just saw the girl getting close, but she didn’t know that the tea was hot. Did the girl ever get hurt?”
There is no need for things to be a big deal, Hong Ning turned around: “Let’s go.”
Duan Fei lost his anger and took her hand: “I think it’s because Duan Fei is incompetent and makes these famous families look down on me, so I’m tired of you, and I was complimenting you just now, but now I’m burned, if I stay here again If something goes wrong, I feel more distressed, so I might as well go back sooner.”
This time, Hong Ning also felt her scalp go numb, and hurriedly lowered her head and followed him to the door.
