Campanula
Tang Zhaoqing's weak and boneless body leaned against the railing, and he was looking down at the fish playing happily in the lake with a faint smile on his face.
"Miss, Miss Ning Biao is here."
Tang Zhaoqing followed his line of sight, and Ning Yange hurried over.
"Go and prepare refreshments." Tang Zhaoqing said calmly.
"yes!"
"Sister Qing!" Ning Yange trotted over, his face full of complacency.
"What happened, why did you run in such a hurry, did the old lady punish you, Elegy, listen to my advice and don't fight any more." Tang Zhaoqing asked with concern.
Ning Elegy shook his head and hummed, "It's ridiculous that I would be punished like this. It's too late for my grandmother to love me."
"That's good, sit down and drink a glass of water." Tang Zhaoqing handed over a glass of water, but Ning Yange didn't take it, and quickly grabbed Tang Zhaoqing's arm, "Grandmother scolded uncle and aunt severely, and then uncle compromised." Yes, I promised to hold a peach blossom feast in one month, and invite all the unmarried children and young girls around here to gather together, and I heard that the princess and noble young masters from Shengjing will also come to play."
Ning Elegy gave himself a step down, as if the peach blossom banquet was something the old lady insisted on holding.
Tang Zhaoqing frowned slightly, "This is?"
"I want to choose wives for my cousins and elder brother. If I don't like the one, I will marry my second cousin."
Ning Elegy is certain that she will never set her eyes on anyone, even if she snatches her second cousin, she will not be able to snatch her away.
"Really?" Tang Zhaoqing's face turned pale, "Then sister Xiao..."
As soon as Concubine Xiao was mentioned, Ning Elegy's face sank, "She, is she eating what's in the bowl and looking at what's in the pot, coaxing my aunt around, and I haven't decided on which one, after all, it can't be the second cousin."
Tang Zhaoqing covered his mouth and coughed lightly, becoming weaker and weaker.
"Sister Qing, are you alright?" Ning Yange was taken aback and hurried forward to ask.
Tang Zhaoqing shook his head weakly, "I'm fine, maybe it's windy here after being out for a long time, just go back and rest."
"Then sister, go and have a rest. I'll look for my sister later."
Tang Zhaoqing hummed lightly, watching Ning Elegy leave like a gust of wind, making Tang Zhaoqing who was already melancholy feel even more uncomfortable.
"Miss, this lady cousin is here to persuade people, she is clearly irritating!" Yu'er's eyes were red with anger, and she kept stroking Tang Zhaoqing's back.
It took a long time for Tang Zhaoqing to regain his composure, his small face was already translucently pale, and a wry smile spread from the corner of his mouth.
"Miss and Mr. Mo are in love, but Mrs. Shen insists on obstructing it. Poor lady, this servant thinks that Mrs. Shen probably wants Miss Xiao to marry Mr. Mo."
Yu'er was straightforward, and she directly expressed what was in her heart.
"Yu'er!" Tang Zhaoqing's face darkened, "How many times have I warned you that this is the villa and not the Tang family, if it spreads to outsiders, what face do you give me to stay?"
Yu'er was shocked and knelt on the ground, "I know I was wrong, please forgive Yu'er this time."
Tang Zhaoqing fell into silence, with the corners of his mouth tightly pursed. Lu Liyuan's words were still echoing in his ears that day, and he took a deep breath to suppress the unhappiness and sorrow in his heart.
"Get up." Tang Zhaoqing waved his hands casually, and Yu'er hurriedly stood up, not daring to say a word.
outside the door
Shen Mo was holding a pack of herbs in his hand, and when he was about to reach the Wind Chime Garden when he turned the corner, a turquoise figure walked towards him.
Unconsciously looking up, I saw Xiao Concubine walking towards him quickly with a smile on the corner of her mouth, a pair of starry eyes were astonishingly bright, her long hair was blown by the breeze, revealing her pointed chin , her face is petite and delicate.
The gestures of her hands and feet are full of noble temperament, dignified and generous yet playful and cute, it is not enough to use the word exquisite to describe her beauty.
Such a woman should not be a down-and-out sojourner, on the contrary, she was cultivated by a family with a century-old background.
In these years of traveling, Shen Mo has seen countless women, charming or beautiful, everything you need, but it is the first time that a woman's casual posture has attracted his attention.
A look of amazement flashed across his eyes, and soon disappeared. He did not forget the prickly hedgehog on the dinner table.
Obviously reckless and impulsive, and not low-key, but it just doesn't make people disgusted. Compared with the delicate and artificial lady, she doesn't hide her true temperament, and she is very refreshing to get along with.
As if thinking of something, complex emotions flashed across Shen Mo's eyes.
"Miss, that's the eldest son." Hongxiu whispered.
Xiao Concubine looked up in an instant, the smile on her face flickered three points, she lowered her head and said to Shen Mo, "Young Master."
Shen Mo raised his foot and took a step forward, "Second brother and third brother, you call the second brother and the third brother, why did you come to me, and only one sentence?"
Xiao Concubine raised her eyes, Shen Mo's slender body standing quietly would also make people feel a sense of oppression, full of coldness, and his eyes were as cold as a thousand years of ice.
Unlike Shen Yi's gentleness and Shen Feng's casualness, Shen Mo simply couldn't get along with each other.
Xiao Concubine bit her lips, it was really hard to say big brother, but she didn't ignore the flash of hostility in Shen Mo's eyes.
Yes, hostility.
Seeing her lowering her head, the corners of Shen Mo's mouth curled up mockingly, "Aren't you quite courageous at the dinner table, you can speak well, how do you pretend to be a lady now?"
"Could it be that the eldest son wants me to swallow my anger and let others splash dirty water? The eldest son's magnanimity is not comparable to that of a little girl. Sometimes blindly retreating and forbearance is not necessarily a good thing, it will only fuel other people's arrogance!" Xiao Miss said lightly.
"How can a woman be so aggressive and strong-tempered." Shen Mo walked a few steps quickly, then stopped, "Since you have come to the villa, I will send you a message."
Miss Xiao raised her eyebrows.
"People have to bow their heads under the eaves. The past has receded. The most important thing is to go forward. Don't block the way back."
After finishing speaking, Shen Mo turned into Fenglingyuan without looking back.
Concubine Xiao was at a loss, "What a mess!"
Xiao Concubine suspected that Shen Mo's mind must be unclear, and she really regarded her as a down-and-out relative who took refuge in the villa.
strangeness!
Concubine Xiao stepped into the yard, and the servant girl immediately greeted her, "Miss, just now the old lady sent someone to look for you..."
The maid casually told about the Peach Blossom Banquet incidentally, Xiao Concubine was not very interested in the others, she asked curiously when she first heard that there was someone from Kyoto.
"The princess from Kyoto?"
The servant girl nodded, "Master said so."
Xiao Yu nodded, "Okay, I understand."
After entering the room, Xiao Concubine sat at the table and studied herbal medicine quietly.
"Miss, didn't you copy the Meditation Sutra a hundred times?"
Xiao Yu squinted her red sleeves, "Do you want to go back early?"
Hongxiu hurriedly nodded, nowhere is as good as Xiangfu.
"That's it. When my father asked later, he sent me away after asking three questions. There was no place to cry!"
Xiao Concubine shrugged, she could somewhat understand the right minister's character, she only said that she copied the scriptures but didn't say when to hand them in, and Shen Liuyun just opened her eyes and closed her eyes tacitly.
"Miss, could it be Princess Qingle who came this time? I haven't seen you for almost a month."
Concubine Xiao lowered her head and sniffed the herbal medicine lightly, then shook her head, "It can't be Qingle, I have no one to accompany me all the way, what are you doing here?"
"makes sense."
Concubine Xiao suddenly raised her eyes, and suddenly realized, "No wonder, Shen Mo is hostile to me. I guess it is because Aunt Shen intends to propose marriage to him, and he is thinking of Tang Zhaoqing again."
Hongxiu was at a loss, Xiao Concubine smiled, Shen Mo was really worrying too much,
next door
Shen Mo decocted the medicine himself, and boiled it for a full two hours.
Tang Zhaoqing drank it without hesitation, but the bitterness in his mouth was not as bitter as in his heart.
"It's getting late, I'll come see you tomorrow." Shen Mo stood up and said calmly.
"You don't need to bother Brother Mo to cook the medicine yourself, just leave it to Yu'er. Zhaoqing doesn't want to make things difficult for Brother Mo."
As Tang Zhaoqing covered his mouth and coughed lightly, his face became paler and weaker.
Shen Mo pursed his lips tightly, "It is the key to take a good rest and take care of your body, so you don't have to think about it."
Seeing that he had to leave, Tang Zhaoqing quickly stopped Shen Mo, "Brother Mo, Zhaoqing is not worthy to stay in the villa any longer, making it difficult for Brother Mo, Brother Mo can have a better future, Zhaoqing's greatest hope is to be able to Seeing Brother Mo happy, as for Zhaoqing's broken body, good or bad is irrelevant."
Shen Mo looked back, "I don't know how to marry a wife, you should take good care of it."
After the words fell, Shen Mo's tall figure gradually moved away, and Tang Zhaoqing was completely relieved.
