Chapter 56: Appreciate the peach blossoms

Views:

Lin Mo started to pack his things early in the morning, but he didn't need to do it himself, he just ordered his servants to take some things.

"Second brother, are you really not going with us?" Lin Mo asked again.

"Second brother is reading in the mansion, you two just go and play. Remember to wear more clothes, so you don't catch cold." Lin Xiu looked at him and smiled softly, but he was still a little worried and told him.

The two of them went out to play, but he still didn't want to go with them.

"Reading? Well, if the second brother wants to chat with his classmates, remember to bring a few guards." Now that the prime minister's troubles have not been resolved, Lin Mo is not at ease, so he brings guards just in case.

"Momo, are you ready?" Cheng Yan came from a distance and asked.

"Cheng Yan called you, go over and have fun."

"Yeah." Lin Mo nodded, turned around and walked towards Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan stopped at the spot and waited for Lin Mo to come over, and put the cloak in his hand on him, "Second brother, aren't you going?"

"Second brother said he wanted to read a book, so he won't go. By the way, is Ah Yuan going too?" Lin Mo put his hand on Cheng Yan's arm and asked as he walked.

"He's bored in the palace, he wanted to pester me to go out for a long time." Cheng Yan said helplessly.

"It seems that Ah Yuan is very dependent on you."

"Well, he always came to me crying after being bullied when he was a child. Compared with Brother Huang, Brother Huang seems to be more comforting..."

"Maybe... you seem more secure." After Lin Mo finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing.

The second brother also seemed to be more comforting than the eldest brother, but when Lin Mo was being tortured, he couldn't help fantasizing that the next second the eldest brother would appear to rescue him. However, in the end, as he thought, the eldest brother came to save him, but it was a pity that they missed it, and they didn't even see each other for the last time before they died.

After arriving at the destination in the carriage, Lin Mo heard An Jinyuan's voice as soon as he got off the carriage.

"Fifth brother, Amo." An Jinyuan got off the carriage at the side, happened to see fifth brother and fifth brother's husband, and hurried over.

Perhaps because he came out to play today, Lin Mo found that the smile on An Jinyuan's face was deeper than usual. Usually it is a faint smile, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. Of course, it is only in the eyes of outsiders.

"You wear so little clothes?" Cheng Yan frowned as he looked at his younger brother who was walking over after helping Mo Mo fix the cloak.

"Isn't this just getting off the carriage?" An Jinyuan saw that Fifth Brother's expression was not right, so she quickly smiled ingratiatingly.

Lin Mo stood aside, and couldn't help but laugh. The three brothers always have a different side in front of outsiders and in front of their family members.

"His Royal Highness, Mrs. Cheng." The maid with a plush cloak in her hand walked over quickly and saluted respectfully.

"Um."

The maid got up, hurried to her highness's side, and tied the cloak on his highness.

"Is today's lunch here? I heard from Fifth Brother that we have barbecue today? What is barbecue?" An Jinyuan asked beside them.

"I'll find out at noon. You should like the sauce I specially prepared." Lin Mo blinked and smiled.

"Okay, let's go inside and have a look, the peach blossoms over there are almost in bloom." An Jinyuan pulled Lin Mo up and trotted to the front.

"His Royal Highness Cheng..." The maid who was originally with His Royal Highness Jin Yuan saw that the master ran away before she recovered, and wanted to catch up, but there was His Royal Highness Cheng next to her, so she hesitated and said.

"Follow up, just stay not far from them."

"Yes, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang." After the few maids finished speaking, they quickly followed.

"Security around here, don't let anyone in." Cheng Yan tilted his head and ordered the guards behind him.

"Yes, my lord."

Cheng Yan looked up at the two smiling happily not far away, and also walked over.

The peach blossoms and pear blossoms in the western suburbs are planted separately, with peach blossoms in the east and pear blossoms in the west. There are three kinds of peach blossoms: light pink, snow white and red, but there is also a tree with red and white.

Looking up, what catches the eye most is the pale pink peach blossom. The flowers on the branches are clustered one by one, and there is a ring of thin petals scattered around the bottom of the tree.

The spring breeze blows from time to time, and the petals on the branches slowly fall in circles.

"It's beautiful. Brother Huang brought me here to see it before. Actually, it's too early to come here now. If we wait another month, when the peach blossoms are all in full bloom, this place will be even more beautiful." An Jinyuan stretched out her hand and picked off a branch, enough to watch. Then he handed it to the maid behind him.

"It's really pretty, but what are you doing with so much discount?" Lin Mo asked suspiciously, and the maids behind her all had a big bunch in their hands.

"Take it back to the palace and give it to Brother Huang. This is what he specifically asked for. Who knows why he wants these? In the past, he still hated it." An Jinyuan curled her lips.

"It might be useful." Lin Mo said, who knows what His Majesty the Emperor is thinking.

"Amo, let me tell you, I think Brother Huang may have someone he likes." An Jinyuan thought for a while, and then leaned closer to share with Lin Mo his guesses for the past few days.

"Uh... It's normal to have someone you like." Lin Mo said after pondering for a few seconds.

"Is it normal? Well, I should have made a fuss." An Jinyuan paused, grabbing the petals on the peach blossom branch in his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Mo didn't know how to open his mouth. He always felt that An Jinyuan was in a bit of a lost mood. But Lin Mo thought about it, if his elder brother and second brother also have someone they like, maybe he will do the same.

Brothers have someone they like, which means that they used to be their favorites, but now they have to share half with their sister-in-law. Perhaps in the near future, my brother's attention to him will gradually decrease.

"Maybe... you can also find someone you like." Lin Mo suggested to him.

"It's not as easy as you said... But it's coming soon, Brother Huang is going to let me choose a son-in-law among the top three in the imperial examination."

When Lin Mo heard this, he was a little surprised. He thought of his second brother, and then looked at An Jinyuan. Lin Mo suddenly felt that it seemed good for Ah Yuan to be his second brother-in-law.

However, if this is really the case, the seniority between them seems to be a bit chaotic, what should he shout

"What's wrong? Why are you in a daze?" An Jinyuan asked, shaking the peach blossom branch in front of him.

"It's okay, let's go and have a look elsewhere." Lin Mo came back to his senses and forgot what he had just thought.

Anyway, this matter has not been decided yet, maybe Ah Yuan doesn't like the second brother, so let's think about seniority later.

"It's just right, I'll take you to a place, the place where third brother and I will definitely go when we come." An Jinyuan winked at him and said with a smile.

Lin Mo followed An Jinyuan around, walked for a long time and finally stopped.

"This peach blossom tree is so big." Lin Mo raised his head and said in disbelief.

The trunk is thick, and it takes several people to embrace it to form a circle. It is completely different from other peach blossom trees, just like a mutation.

It is tall and thick, and when the petals are in full bloom, when you look up, you only feel covered by the entire sea of flowers.

"This is the oldest one. I heard that no one knows how long it has lived. It even blooms earlier than the others. Look, when the wind blows, many petals fall." An Jinyuan raised her head and stretched out her hand to pick it up. Caught the falling petals, turned his head to look at Lin Mo, and said with a smile.

"very beautiful… "

An Jinyuan glanced at Lin Mo who was looking up in amazement, then at Fifth Brother who was standing not far from them, walked away lightly, and beckoned for Fifth Brother to come over. Originally, he was the one who pestered Fifth Brother to come here, but now that his mood has improved, he has to return Amo to Fifth Brother.

Cheng Yan walked over and stopped a few steps away from him. Looking steadily at Lin Mo under the peach blossom tree, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, looking at him with surprise in his eyes.

When Lin Mo came back to his senses, he found that An Jinyuan who was standing beside him had disappeared. Lin Mo wanted to look for it, but when he turned around, he saw the person standing behind him.

"Cheng Yan!" Lin Mo frowned slightly and walked towards him.

"Why didn't I see you just now? Where did you go?" Lin Mo stopped, looked up at him and smiled.

"I've been watching from the side, seeing that you two are having fun so you didn't come over." Cheng Yan reached out and took the petals off his head, and stroked the petals on his shoulders.

"By the way, where's Ah Yuan?"

"Go to the other side. Didn't you want to pick the petals before? Go now?" Cheng Yan asked.

"Okay, where are you going?"

There is no outsider here, Lin Mo took Cheng Yan's hand and walked with him, swinging his arms back and forth from time to time, just like the arm swings he used to play with his second brother when he was a child.

"Very happy?" Cheng Yan tilted his head and asked, holding Lin Mo's hand in his backhand.

"Well, after parents and the others come, bring Xiaoya and Xiaonan over?" Lin Mo looked at him expectantly.

Lin Mo can now imagine the amazed expressions on his faces when the children from the family come over. That cute appearance can make Lin Mo happy all day.

"good."

Although almost all the peach blossoms had fallen at that time, the biggest tree must still be in bloom.

…

The maids following behind them each held a bamboo basket filled with flower petals.

"Cheng Yan!"

Cheng Yan, who was picking petals, heard Momo calling him, turned around, and saw a bunch of scattered petals flying in front of him, Cheng Yan quickly raised his hand to block it.

"Huh? I'm coming too!" An Jinyuan saw Lin Mo throwing flower petals at Fifth Brother, her face was eager to try.

In the past, Fifth Brother was as serious as a grandfather, but now that he could use this to figure out Fifth Brother, An Jinyuan felt a little excited for no reason.

An Jinyuan reached out and grabbed a handful of flower petals in the bamboo basket, ran over and threw it at Brother Wu's head. The ball of petals fell apart after being thrown into the air, and Cheng Yan put down his hands with a helpless expression on his face.

"You two are almost done, you have to continue picking the petals after throwing them away."

However, the two who were already playing crazy naturally would not listen to Cheng Yan's words.

Seeing His Highness King Cheng's body covered with petals and a helpless smile on his face, all the maids standing aside covered their mouths and snickered.

I feel that as long as Mrs. Cheng is by his side, His Highness Cheng Wang will not show a cold face. Even the rumors that everyone thought His Royal Highness Cheng Wang would not laugh, were completely dispelled.

They didn't stop until Lin Mo and An Jinyuan had thrown away all the petals in the basket in their hands. But seeing Cheng Yan's current appearance, they all covered their mouths and laughed.

"It's funny?" Cheng Yan said in a low voice with a slumped face.

"Amo, Fifth Brother won't be angry, right?" An Jinyuan saw that Fifth Brother had no expression on his face, and seemed to realize that they seemed to be overplaying.

"Hmm... how about I go over and coax him?" Lin Mo asked uncertainly.

"Go, go, it's up to you." An Jinyuan hurriedly pushed the person towards Fifth Brother.

"Are you angry?" Lin Mo leaned over and said with a flattering smile.

"Do you think I dare to be angry with you?"

Too busy to coax him, still angry

"Well, I'll pat you..." Lin Mo raised his hand to pat the petals off his clothes, but he was not tall enough to reach the petals on his head.

Lin Mo was busy helping Cheng Yan clean up, while An Jinyuan was here, and inadvertently saw Su Qingran and some strange man standing not far away.

"Su Qingran, why are you here?" An Jinyuan frowned, a little displeased.

Lin Mo heard that, turned his head to look over, and saw Su Qingran not far away was staring at them intently, the smile on his face faded instantly.

Lin Mo looked at Su Qingran with cold eyes, and tightened his grip on Cheng Yan's hand.

That woman, staring at Cheng Yan? !
