Hibiscus Flower West Moon Splendid

Chapter 39
The corner of Feibai's mouth twitched, like a spring breeze in March, but his eyes were filled with the frost of ten thousand years, "What do you mean by that, sir? Does it mean that Feibai's private meeting with others in this laurel garden will not work?"

"Master Hou, the play has already started, Miss Jin must have gone back, why don't we go back to the garden with Daoist Qiu to watch the show first." Feng Ding suggested to Yuan Qingjiang with a smile, and then looked at Fei Bai unfathomably .

Yuan Qingjiang looked at Feibai thoughtfully for a moment, gently stroked his long beard, raised his eyebrows, and nodded, "Yan Sheng, let's go back to the garden to watch a play first."

Liu Yansheng nodded with a smile and said yes, slowly followed behind Yuan Qingjiang and Yuan Feibai, gently supported an osmanthus flower, folded it off, put it on the nose and sniffed it lightly, "The fragrance of the osmanthus flower in August, blowing away the sorrows of guests in the wind."

Before he could say the word "sorrow", he shot like lightning and shot towards the cave where I was hiding.

Guizhi came in a flash, and I couldn't dodge in time. My right arm had already drawn a deep line, and the blood flowed profusely in an instant.I screamed out in pain, the rich cinnamon floated into the air along with the blood, and everyone stopped again.

"Who's there?" Feng Ding yelled, and in a blink of an eye he flew to Yuegui Qingshang—my hiding place.

I raised my head, with tears of grievance in my eyes, pretending to look shyly at the two handsome faces that appeared at the same time——Yuan Feibai and Fengding.

Feng Ding was shocked at first, then raised his eyebrows and chuckled, and looked at Yuan Feibai beside him complicatedly.

A few years later, when Yuan Feibai became the all-powerful hero in the troubled times in the Central Plains, when power was overwhelming the world, everyone worshiped him and attracted countless heroes to bow down to him, but no one knew about his admirable calmness and calm and precise judgment. Strength, but it stems from the inhuman training in childhood, which also includes the painful entanglement that is riddled with emotional holes and broken souls.

Soon, Fei Bai calmed down, put away the shock in his eyes, as if nothing had happened, and slowly stretched out his hand to me condescendingly, like a heavenly emperor.

What a coincidence, it was this hand that Jinxiu was holding tightly and crying about 10 minutes ago.I was devastated.God knows, how much I want to knock off this hand immediately, slap him vigorously by the way, and then kick him hard a few times...

We stared at each other for a long time, our eyes tightly intertwined.He firmly extended his palm to me, I finally looked away, gently held that shiny hand, and gave Shi Gui Qingshang.Tears poured out of his heart full of sorrow and grief, the grievance on his face did not need to be faked, and his palms were covered with cold sweat, which showed that his heart must have been extremely nervous just now.

There was pain in Feibai's eyes, he took out a silk handkerchief, tied the wound lightly to stop the bleeding, and muttered: "But, but the pain is unbearable..."

I looked at him and shook my head slightly.He took a deep look at me, sighed, and suddenly hugged me. Amidst my exclamation, he has carried me slowly out of the darkness and into the sunlight.

Feng Ding looked at us, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his eyes and walked away.So I still brought two lines of tears and exposed them to everyone.In the fragrance of osmanthus, everyone's astonishment was different, Liu Yansheng's face was unwilling, and the dark hatred was in his eyes, but Yuan Qingjiang's eyes were deep and deep, with no bottom to be seen.

Yuan Qingjiang smiled lightly, "It seems that what Yan Sheng said is really right, Shi Gui's appreciation...really hides a...beauty."

Yuan Feibai put me down gently.

I immediately fell to my knees, my forehead touched the ground, and I didn't dare to raise my head, "I was rude to Lord Hou last night, and I deserve death. Today, I came to Laurel Garden privately to give the third master sober medicine, which is an unforgivable crime."

Feibai also knelt down, "Please forgive me, my lord father. Mu Jin misses her dearly, and is afraid that she will be hurt by drinking alcohol, so she came to deliver medicine to her, but because she was injured by the fugitive last night, and my son cared about her poor spirits, so he dared not Alarm your father. If you want to blame the father, you can blame the child, don't embarrass Mujin."

We both knelt down in front of Yuan Qingjiang, and he held my hand firmly again. I wanted to retract it, but he held it tightly, with a look of affection.I looked terrified, and my heart was quite disapproving.

Yuan Qingjiang stared at us silently for a moment, then smiled faintly, "Feibai, do you know how long it has been since you called me father?"

I was stunned, peeping, Feibai's face was also stunned, and he slowly raised his head, "My child... I know I was wrong..." Then he choked there, with a rare look of panic.

Yuan Qingjiang sighed softly, walked over, supported Fei Bai with one hand, and supported me with the other, and helped the two of us up, "Two idiots, since they miss each other, why bother to torture each other?"

My heart moved, and I looked at Yuan Feibai. I didn't want him to turn his head, and his glistening eyes looked at me with a hint of doubt and affection.I was speechless and choked with hatred and pity at the same time.

"Is Mujin's injury better?"

Yuan Qingjiang's kind greeting brought me back to my senses.What's the matter with me, an inexplicable irritability and a strong sense of hurt came to my heart, I couldn't help but quietly broke away from Feibai's hand, turned to Yuan Qingjiang, lowered his eyes and replied docilely: "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your concern, After taking Master Hou's elixir, my spirit has improved a lot. Thank you Master Hou for the gift."

"Master Hou's medicine...a gift?" Fei Bai looked at Yuan Qingjiang suspiciously.

Yuan Qingjiang nodded to Feibai and said: "Last night, on a whim for my father, I went for a walk with Fengding in Xilin, but I met a woman who subdued the Naqi brothers with a clever tongue, but because the distance was too far, I couldn't hear it clearly. , so I didn't know that she was Mujin at the time. I was waiting to see this strange woman, and I didn't want her to relapse and collapse outside Xifeng Garden, so Feng Ding came forward to save her. Speaking of which, you should also thank Feng Ding Yes. I have hit it off with your Mujin very much, and today I will give your mother's jewelry box to Mujin as a birthday present."

I secretly groaned in my heart, Yuan Qingjiang really saw me spying on Feijue, but he deliberately omitted this part, did he want to protect Feibai?I raised my head with some guilt, but Yuan Qingjiang looked at me pityingly.

A trace of ecstasy flashed across Feibai's usually cold face, and he knelt down on the ground again, "Thank you, Father, for your success." Then he dragged me off the ground and kowtowed to him.

"Feng Ding heard early on that although Miss Hua Mujin is the fourth child among the five children, she has the talent of Confucianism to rule the world, and she is the hero of exterminating locusts in my original family this time. Feng Ding should congratulate Lord Hou for having such a smart third daughter-in-law." .” Feng Ding bowed to congratulate, but cast a cold glance at me.

I couldn't help shivering, and said to myself: Who told you that I have the talent to govern the world?Even if I jumped into the Yellow River at this moment, I couldn't clean it up.

"This girl's surname is Hua?" The Taoist priest who had been silent all this time stepped forward curiously, as if he wanted to get involved in this already troubling situation.

He looked me up and down there, like three aunts and six wives.I finally couldn't take it anymore, and was about to lean towards Feibai, but Feibai gracefully flung my sleeves a step earlier, hid me behind him, and said softly to the Taoist priest, "Daoist Qiu, what advice do you have?"

"This girl has an extraordinary bearing, can you tell me her date of birth?" the Taoist asked politely.

I looked at Feibai puzzled, and his eyes were also full of doubts, and he turned his eyes to Yuan Qingjiang.

Yuan Qingjiang smiled, "This girl's name is Hua Mujin, she and Ranzhi's concubine Jinxiu are twin sisters, and their birthdays should be the same."

"What?" Qiu Daochang yelled loudly, bluffing everyone present.

He circled around me a few times, as if he was a master, and he seemed to be admiring the statue of Venus.In short, I became more and more hairy, and finally I couldn't stand Feibai anymore, and I didn't care whether he was a distinguished guest from Qingjiang, so I stepped forward to block his sight, and said coldly: "What did the Taoist priest see?" ?”

Daoist Qiu finally withdrew his gaze, nodded to me, then bowed to me respectfully and left with a smile, regardless of how Feibai and I stared at him.

Everyone looked at me in unison, puzzled, shocked, thoughtful, gloomy... I was quite frightened, what exactly is this Taoist priest trying to do?
Later, Feibai told me that this Daoist Qiu was the abbot of Qingxu Temple, a well-known Taoist master in the world, who studied the sky, refined medicine, and was good at divination. Associated objects.Hearing his name, Dou Yinghua brought his family members to Qingxu Temple to offer incense, and by the way asked him to divination for the Dou family's fortune within ten years.At the beginning, Daoist Qiu reasoned that he was not a person in the world, and it was inconvenient to practice the law, so Dou Yinghua threatened him with force. Unexpectedly, Daoist Qiu was very stiff, so he said coldly, "rebellious officials and thieves". Dou Yinghua was furious and sealed up the law. Qingxu Guan imprisoned all the Taoist priests, and ordered Qiu Daochang to be burned on the charge of demons and deceiving the world. Fortunately, he was rescued by Yuan Qingjiang, and since then he has become a very special guest of the Yuan family.

I was exhausted physically and mentally, and I just wanted to go back to Xifengyuan to see Feijue. However, the original Qingjiang was beyond my expectation and warmly invited me to go to the theater with him. I had to follow Feibai and his party back to Mengyuan.

In the garden of dreams, the fragrant powders of Jiao'e's come rushing towards the face, the colorful silk skirts and pearls and precious hairpins of the former concubines of Qingjiang complement each other, and a group of yingyingyanyans say "Wanfu, my lord" .

Then he covered the incense fan, revealing pairs of bright eyes, and whispered to me beside Feibai.

Immediately the gong started on the stage, and I stood uneasy, but Fei Bai insisted on pulling me to sit beside him.Pearl respectfully prepared tooth chopsticks and a jade cup for me, but didn't even look at me.When I thought of Rongbaotang's terrible experience, I shivered in my heart.

"Are you hungry?" Fei Bai's voice rang in my ear.I raised my head, half an hour ago, he was sad with my sister in Laurel Garden, but now he seems to be fine.I suddenly felt scared.

Feibai smiled and took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for me, "Eat more, Hibiscus, the only thing I can see in this purple garden is this sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

I guess I smiled uglier than crying, so I bit the bullet, huh?It's really good, I think it's just made, it's much fresher than what Song Minglei and Jinxiu brought to me in the past, and the taste is more fragrant, it melts in the mouth.

Seeing that my face had softened, Yuan Feibai smiled and took a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for me.

Yuan Qingjiang returned to the chief, the cold Mrs. Lian sat on the left, the right was empty, and below was Yuan Feiyan who hadn't seen him for a long time, and she was also beautifully dressed.She always glanced at Song Minglei who was opposite him in a nonchalant way.Next to Song Minglei sat the mesmerizing Xuanyuan Benxu, who was shaking his head and listening to the play, and from time to time talked to a young man beside me who I had never seen before.That young man is tall and crowned, dressed in brocade and jade belt, his skin is as white as snow, his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Yuan Feiyan, and his conversation and laughter are more feminine than Yuan Feibai and Yuan Qingjiang. Qing, but I don't know why I didn't attend at the same time as the princess.When he saw me sitting with Yuan Feibai, a gleam flashed across his originally gentle eyes.

When Song Minglei saw me, he was surprised for a moment, and then gave me a gentle smile, which miraculously calmed my heart.

After a while, Jinxiu and Chuhua appeared.She changed into a lavender huaisu gauze, and her gorgeous face was re-decorated, exquisite and exquisite.She walked up to Master Hou and gave her a blessing, said something, and sat down on the empty seat on the right of Master Hou.The smile I drew at the beginning was very far-fetched, and my walk was a little slow.

Jinxiu saw me, feigned surprise, and whispered to Yuan Qingjiang.Jinxiu's smile froze slightly, and immediately returned to normal.Amidst all the joy, Mrs. Lian's face was extremely ugly.While I was wondering, Zhuzhu had already brought a carved box to me, "Master, this is a birthday present from Miss Jin to Miss Mu."

I thanked her, and Pearl left with a cold face.

I slowly opened the box, and there was a bright red heart knot mixed with gold silk lying quietly on the black velvet.I couldn't help being stunned, Yuan Feibai was also absent-minded for a moment, we both looked up at Jinxiu at the same time, but she was covering her mouth with Yuan Feiyan and chuckling.

My heart was miserable, and the drama on the stage couldn't reach my ears no matter what.At this time Song Minglei got up to go to the toilet, and glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally.I immediately understood in my heart, said something to Yuan Feibai, got up and left the table.

As soon as I left the Chuihua Gate, I didn't see Song Minglei, but what greeted me was a tall figure, who turned out to be the youth Fengding from last night.He bowed to me and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has orders, Miss, please follow Fengding."

His attitude towards me was extremely respectful, but his eyes were cold and contemptuous, and his tone was even more undeniable.I quietly looked around, but I didn't find Song Minglei.

"Is the girl looking for Song Huwei or the third master? Then there's no need, they are both very busy now, even if they are free, you still have to go with me." Feng Ding looked at me with a sneer.

I groaned inwardly, forced myself to calm down and said, "Then ask the young master to lead the way."

Fengding smiled at me, turned around and left.I followed behind him, and after making seven turns, I came to an elegant small courtyard.

The words "Meixiang Xiaozhu" are inscribed on it.My heart skipped a beat, remembering that Xie Sanniang had mentioned to me by accident before that Mrs. Xie's boudoir name was Mei Xiang, and she liked plum blossoms very much, so Feibai opened a plum garden in Xifengyuan to commemorate Mrs. Xie.

It is often heard that the original Qingjiang did not dote on Mrs. Xie, why did he build this Meixiang Xiaozhu again?

I was thinking about it, Feng Ding turned around, gently opened the door, and said, "Please, Miss Mu."

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva and stepped into the main hall.The furnishings in the room are extremely simple, and in the middle of the room is an extraordinary man in purple robes who is seriously admiring a painting, which is the original Qingjiang.And that painting turned out to be Yuan Feibai's "Sheng Lian Duck Playing Picture", with my "Ai Lian Shuo" beside it.

I was in a daze when Yuan Qingjiang turned around and smiled at me, "The hibiscus is here."

I received a blessing, feeling uneasy in my heart, lowered my eyes meekly and said: "I don't know if the Marquis called the servants to come, what orders do you have?"

"Is this "Ai Lian Shuo" written by you?" Yuan Qingjiang asked.

"Yes, it was made by the little girl."

Yuan Qingjiang nodded, sat down on the first seat, pointed to the chair, and said with a smile: "You are not in good health, so don't stand up, sit down and talk."

I didn't dare to sit down, so he waved his hand and stood up, "We are all a family, don't be polite to me."

I thought to myself: In fact, I am far away from my family.But I quickly sat down, "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your seat."

He returned to his seat with satisfaction.At this time, Feng Ding came to serve tea, and then stood behind Yuan Qing Jiang.

Yuan Qingjiang took a sip of tea and said: "Mu Jin's literary talent is so high, let alone Guangqian, I'm afraid he can't even match Feibai's poetry!"

Naturally, I was terrified, "Master Hou praised me a lot, Mu Jin just got a penny occasionally, how dare I compare it with Song Er Ge and San Ye."

"Mujin is too modest. Yesterday I was checking Feijue's homework in Yubeizhai, and I saw two volumes of "Huaxi Poetry Collection". After I asked Mr. Guo, I found out that Hibiscus gave it to Feijue..."

My heart skipped a beat, here I come, here I come, the topic is about to come out.

I plucked up the courage to look at Yuan Qingjiang, and sure enough his gentle eyes faded away, and a sharp light suddenly appeared, as if he was about to pierce into my heart, "Does Mujin know how Taoist Qiu criticized you?"

I was sweating profusely, trying to stay calm, "Mujin doesn't know, please tell Hou Ye clearly."

It's over, don't let the old Taoist say that I am a evil person, a child, a sex demon, etc., and then want to burn me alive as a witch?After all, my reputation is not very good.Besides, Yuan Qingjiang saw me spying on Yuan Feijue yesterday, so he came to me today to enforce the family law?

The original Qingjiang's gentle smile remained unchanged, "But Daoist Qiu's criticisms are all inaccurate. He just said to me, Lord Hou, your wife is like a noble person, but this young lady is very precious, blood-soaked The phoenix descends to the nine heavens, and the mother of the country in troubled times will bring peace to the world."

I looked at Yuan Qingjiang, and stayed there as if struck by thunder from the nine heavens.I never thought that the old man with the nose would say that.

I was still in shock, Yuan Qingjiang suddenly read a poem: "Ten years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, never forget it. There is nowhere to talk about desolation in a lonely grave thousands of miles away. Even if we meet each other, we should not know each other. My face is covered with dust and my temples are like frost. The night comes Youmeng suddenly returned home, Xiaoxuan window, was dressing up. There was no words to each other, but only a thousand lines of tears. It was expected to be a heartbroken place every year, a bright moon night, and a short Matsuoka."

Isn't this "Jiangchengzi" in "Huaxi Poetry Collection"?
