Red apricots make spring

Chapter 252 Tangfeng Temple Collection (End)

Five years later, Tangfeng City.

It was the time of the temple fair, and the streets were filled with stalls of various colors, and the streets were crowded with people and vehicles.

There was a clay figurine booth full of children of different ages, all with wide eyes, watching the stall owner's ten fingers nimbly kneading the balls of mud, and a living clay figurine was crushed in a short while. Come out, with a wide mouth, crescent eyes, and a naive smile, at first glance, it is exactly the same as a little boy standing at the front of the stall, causing all the children to shout loudly, "Squeeze one for me—— "

This uproar attracted a four-year-old, sweet-looking little girl in a pale pink cloth. She looked down at a paper bag of sugar-fried chestnuts and fragrant freshly steamed bean cakes in her arms. Suddenly put the bean cake in the hand of the young woman beside her and said: "Mother, let me go over there and have a look."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hugged the bag of fried chestnuts and got into the crowd. The young woman was still holding a baby who was still in its infancy. It was too late to pull her, and she watched helplessly as her daughter squeezed into the crowd. The crowd panicked and pushed the husband next to him, saying, "Hurry up and get Menger back!"

"What are you afraid of? Let her go shopping." The young man smiled lightly, and took the baby in his wife's arms.

"To put it lightly, what if we are kidnapped by Huazi?" The young woman blamed her husband.

"Abducted her?" The young man said with a smile, "You forgot that the last time she was playing in front of the house, a scoundrel who kidnapped a child took a piece of candy to coax her away, but she punished her instead?"

This is true. The scoundrel who abducted the child took candy to coax Menger to play elsewhere. Who would have thought that she would take out a piece of glutinous rice cake wrapped in lotus leaves from her bosom, and said solemnly that her parents told her not to take it casually. Even if you want to take other people's things, you must understand the principle of reciprocity, so you take the candy from the rascal and pass the glutinous rice cake to the rascal.

The rascal was anxious to ask her to eat candies, so he passed out and she took her away, and she asked the rascal why he didn't eat the glutinous rice cakes she gave her.The rogue didn't know that she wrapped a large ball of chili sauce in the glutinous rice cake, took a big bite perfunctorily, and her whole mouth was swollen from the heat, but she stood there clapping her hands and laughing: "Teach you to be good, stranger!" No matter how greedy you are, you have to endure the things given, don't eat them in vain!"

Thinking of that incident, the young woman couldn't help but lowered her eyes and smiled.I don't know who this child looks like, she's full of tricks, she's like a human being at a young age, she spends her days in the room playing tricks on people, and now her room is "heavy with tricks", and anyone who gets in No matter how cautious a person is, he will be tricked, not to mention her and the maid, even the husband dare not go to the daughter's room when he is free, for fear of being inattentive.

"Isn't she the one you're used to? She's almost lawless!" The young woman complained, but she didn't chase her after all. She just watched her daughter run away and stood still in front of the clay figurine stall before she felt relieved. , looked down at the little bean cake in his hand, took a bite carefully——

Fortunately, the cakes bought on the street, this little girl hasn't had time to do it yet.

"She's quite decent, she won't tease people for no reason." The young man smiled faintly, "Let's go shopping around and look for her later."

Let’s talk about Meng’er squeezing to the clay figurine stall, watching the stall owner knead the clay figurine while tiptoeing, peeling sugar-fried chestnuts to eat.The three or four children from poor families around her smelled the sweet smell of fried chestnuts, and were made to salivate. Their attention gradually shifted from the clay figurine to the fried chestnuts in her hand, staring at them, swallowing hard.

After Menger realized it, she was generous, and she grabbed the candied chestnuts in the paper bag and distributed them to the poor children. When others thanked her, she shook her head and said solemnly: "It's just a few chestnuts, not worth mentioning."

Several children gathered in front of the stall, eating chestnuts and looking at the clay figurines. At this moment, a gorgeously dressed girl appeared out of nowhere. She looked only about five years old, but her skin was more radiant than snow. At such a young age, she already looks like a beaut, but her face is arrogant, and she always squints when she looks at people. Seeing these children eating candied and fried chestnuts, although she wants to eat it too, she yells Said: "You are so dirty, stay away from me, don't stain my clothes!"

Menger heard this, turned her head to look at the little girl, suddenly smiled, picked up a candied chestnut and handed it to her, "Eat one? The newly released chestnuts are very sweet."

Her smile is sweeter than that of fried chestnuts. Looking carefully, she is not inferior to that little girl in appearance, and she has a sweet temperament, and there is an irresistible affinity when she smiles. At this moment, the little girl looks Seeing the smile on her face, and taking another look at her clean muslin clothes, she stretched out her hand involuntarily, took the candied chestnuts, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped it lightly, before putting it in her mouth. While biting hard——

"Wow--"

The little girl raised her head and cried loudly, causing the adults and children around her to look at her inexplicably.Not far away, a middle-aged man dressed as an official who was guarding a sedan chair hurried over and asked nervously, "Little ancestor, why are you crying again?"

"She—" the little girl sniffled, pointing at Meng'er while crying, "She gave me stones...it broke my teeth..."

"Wow..." the children around me laughed, and Meng'er also laughed, sticking out her tongue and saying, "Who told you to call us dirty? We ate dirtier stones now, right?"

The official was scratching his head and didn't know why, his girl never eats what others give her because she thinks it's dirty, even if she took the stone given by the little girl, she can tell at a glance, she wouldn't be stupid enough to bite it down, right?He didn't know that Meng'er always carried some strange things in her purse. She picked up that stone from somewhere. It looked like a chestnut. She hid it because she thought it was interesting. She thought about going to the temple fair today. Parents will definitely buy sugar-fried chestnuts for her to eat, so they planned to play tricks on others, but she really caught the opportunity.

The little girl was ridiculed in front of everyone, and she couldn't save face. She cried louder and kept shouting, "Arrest her! Put her in the big prison!"

The official is in a dilemma. It's just such a trivial matter. I can't really arrest the child, can I?Besides, although the clothes on her body are simple, she has a good temperament, and she doesn't look like an ordinary child...

"Liu San, what's going on?" The curtain of the sedan chair parked aside was lifted, and the woman sitting in the sedan chair looked to be only about twenty years old, but she had a beautiful face and an unusually pleasant voice. It caused passers-by to stop and look here.

While coaxing the little girl, the official said to the woman in the sedan chair with a bitter face: "Madam, the girl has been bullied."

"Then catch it, and let the master carefully examine it later." The woman in the sedan chair felt sorry for her daughter, and said angrily, "I can't do this little thing well, do I need someone to teach me?"

As soon as this remark came out, the onlookers started talking about it, and those who recognized it began to shake their heads and sigh, saying that this was the family of the county magistrate, and that the little girl who played tricks would be in trouble.

Liu Sanwei: "Ma'am, the one who bullied the girl is a child..."

"I think let's forget about it." The man dressed as a scholar standing by the sedan chair advised in a low voice.

"Whoever she is, catch her! Catch her!" The little girl stomped her feet and shouted loudly. Seeing that Liu San was hesitating and not making a move, she rushed forward, raised her little hand, and threw it at Meng'er's face. Fan away.

Meng'er's reaction was quick, she turned her body and kicked out her right foot, lightly and delicately, tripping the little girl to the ground.

"Wow—" the little girl wiped her eyes and cried louder, "You bullied me...I'll tell my father to kill you!"

"No prospect." Not only was Meng'er not afraid, but she even laughed and said, "What's so great about letting your father beat me up, if you have the ability, beat me to death yourself!"

Liu San stepped forward to help the little girl, but she just refused to get up, kicked Liu San several times, and turned her head to ask for help: "Mom...you don't care if someone bullies me!"

"Liu San, what are you still doing in a daze?" The woman in the sedan chair came out and hugged her daughter herself. Then she sized up Meng'er and was shocked because she looked so much like someone...

She turned her head to look at the man beside the sedan chair helplessly, and called out: "Jingxuan, come over and have a look, she..."

That man is Pei Jingxuan, he is still a ziran, he is currently working as a luthier in Shi Lei's residence, and he is naturally teaching Shi Wanqing, the daughter of Shi Lei and Shen Mengyisheng.

Pei Jingxuan followed and looked at Menger's eyes, and was also taken aback, "She...could it be..." He knew that the name had been in Shen Mengyi's heart for several years, and it had never been forgotten. come out.

Shi Wanqing was held in Shen Mengyi's arms, and she felt very strange about the reaction of her mother and the piano teacher, but how could she think too much at such a young age, besides, she was spoiled to the extreme since she was a child, and she was unbearably indulgent. At this moment, she only wanted to catch Meng'er He got up and beat her to death, and shouted: "Mother, let Liu San catch her!"

Meng'er saw that there were more and more people watching, and Shen Mengyi and Pei Jingxuan also stared at her intently. They didn't know what they were planning, and they felt a little timid. Just as they were at a loss, they heard a faint voice from the crowd. Said: "Meng'er, come out quickly, we have to go."

"Father—" Meng'er turned her head and looked around happily, but there were people all around her, and she really couldn't get out.

Shen Mengyi was shocked when she heard the voice, and couldn't help turning her head to look, but saw Lu Ce walking out of the crowd, without even looking at her, she just nodded to Pei Jingxuan, then took Meng'er's hand again. Walk out of the crowd.

"Mom! She's going to run away! Catch her, catch her!" Shi Wanqing was still yelling, watching Lu Ce lead Lu Meng away in the crowded crowd like a stroll in a yard. Turning around, he made a face at her.

"Wanqing, forget it, let's go home." Pei Jingxuan looked at Shen Mengyi who was standing there in a daze, watching Lu Ce go away, and then at Shi Wanqing, unconsciously shaking his head.

"No! My father is the county magistrate, my grandfather is the prime minister, and my uncle is the son-in-law! No one can bully me!" Shi Wanqing kept saying these words all day long, and she would yell for help if she didn't like it. arrest people.

The crowd immediately went into an uproar.

Shen Mengyi and Pei Jingxuan were used to hearing it and didn't think much of it, but now they felt ashamed to hear Shi Wanqing shouting like that in public.Shen Mengyi raised her hand to hit her daughter, but in the end she couldn't let go, she just patted her face lightly, and said angrily: "Stop yelling, go home!"

Shi Wanqing was taken aback for a moment, then burst into tears unwillingly, twisting in Shen Mengyi's arms.Usually this trick works very well, no matter what happens, Shen Mengyi will surrender, but this time she didn't get a response, instead she was thrown into the sedan chair, and Shen Mengyi also bent down to get on the sedan chair.

The sedan chair was lifted by the official, and Pei Jingzhuan followed beside the sedan chair. Hearing Shi Wanqing's cry, he looked back at the direction where Lu Ce disappeared, and thought to himself: County magistrate?Prime Minister?Consort?What's the use?Now that the Ninth Prince is newly enthroned as emperor, he has invited Lu Ce several times but has been politely rejected, but when encountering any embarrassing government affairs, the new emperor will still send someone to ask Lu Ce's opinion, this is something every official in the court knows Knowing the secret...

Lu Meng was led back to Ruanrou by Lu Ce, knowing that her little prank today caused trouble, she just looked down at the toe of her shoe and said nothing.

Wenrou looked at her angrily and funnyly and said: "Don't stare at the toe of the shoe, look at your father, and ask him how he should punish you today!"

"Father—" Lu Meng immediately showed a sweet smile, looked up at Lu Ce, and cautiously asked in a negotiating tone, "Can you punish me to go back and play with my little brother?" She doesn't like to play with her newborn brother Lu Ce. Hidden play, I think he only eats, drinks, and cries all day long, he can't even say a word, only the sleeping appearance is very cute, she can't help touching his face, so he counts it after visiting the temple fair When I go back, my little brother should be in a deep sleep. If she is punished like this, she is willing to do so.

How could Lu Ce not know what was going on in her mind, so he glanced at her sullenly and said, "Don't even think about it!"

Wenrou couldn't help laughing, she just turned her head and looked into the distance.

"Then... what do you punish me for?" Lu Meng was extremely disappointed.

"You are limited to copy the collection of poems left by your great-grandmother three times within ten days, otherwise you will stay here and continue copying when you return to the capital next month." Lu Ce ignored her and walked forward with Wen Rou.

"Still copying!" Lu Meng exclaimed in surprise. Since she was a child, she has copied that collection of poems countless times, and it has filled a bookshelf. Now it is no problem for her to recite it backwards.She followed behind and hurriedly caught up, begging for mercy: "Can you copy it once?"

"no!"

"I'm going to do it backwards!"

"Then it's time to practice calligraphy!"

"Is it okay to punish me to squat on horseback and step on plum blossom piles?"

"no!"

……

The four of them drifted away, and the temple fair returned to its original hustle and bustle, as if what happened just now had never happened...
