Chapter 8 How to describe him...

The wind suddenly picked up and ruffled the fine hair on the temples. Xiao Tingyun raised her hand to tuck the stray strand of hair behind her ear, then turned to Mrs. Song with a slight smile and said, "Mom, would you like to eat lotus soup tonight?" "

That smile was like a sea of ​​thousands of flowers. Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but feel funny. Her expression was quite helpless, "Okay! Which time did your mother not promise you..."

"That daughter has resigned." Xiao Tingyun said respectfully.

"Go." Mrs. Song nodded.

Xiao Tingyun turned around and left with the girls. The light-colored clothes seemed to be stained with mist and rain as they flowed, hazy and elegant.

"One flower, one world, one leaf, one bodhi. The true meaning of the world exists in flowers and trees. This is the first time I have heard such an interpretation. It is really refreshing."

A woman with a gorgeous figure was very interested when she heard the conversation between Mrs. Song and Xiao Tingyun's mother and daughter.

"Madam, which family does this girl belong to? It seems I have never seen her before." Mother Liu, the nanny beside her, asked the woman.

Seeing Mrs. Song getting along with Xiao Tingyun, the woman thought for a while and said, "I heard that Mr. Xiao and his wife have a daughter who has been frail since childhood. I think she is the one."

Liu's mother felt a little regretful when she heard this, "That's such a pity. Such a transparent person is not in good health."

The woman smiled slightly and said, "Her talents, temperament, and status are enough to be expected. Her frailty is not her fault. She just needs to raise her well. She is a daughter who grew up in a house where she was loved by thousands of people. This is not a big deal." question."

Liu Ma was a little surprised after hearing this. Madam never likes to praise others. Why did she speak so highly of a strange girl today?
  The woman seemed to know what Liu Ma's question was, and she just said softly, "Let's go, we'll know when the time comes..."

When Xiao Tingyun arrived at the backyard, he didn't see the lotus pond yet. He saw one or two people, but they were all uninterested and said that the lotus was really difficult to get. Xiao Tingyun couldn't help but be confused. He met a monk on the way and stepped forward and asked, " Little Master!"

The monk was only eleven or twelve years old. When he saw such a beautiful woman, he couldn't help but feel a little shy. He took two steps back and clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, what's the matter with this donor?"

Xiao Tingyun saw him pretending to be mature at such a young age and found it funny. He couldn't help but chuckle. Unexpectedly, the sound made the young monk look up and see Xiao Tingyun. His face turned red and he took two steps back. .

Xiao Tingyun:...

"S-donor, what's the matter?" the young master stuttered.

The girls behind him couldn't help but smile. Xiao Tingyun pretended to scold the girl, "Young master, don't be surprised. I heard that the lotus flowers in the backyard lotus pond were blooming very well, and I wanted to pick two to make lotus soup. I don't know. Are there any taboos in the temple?”

When the young master heard this, he immediately explained, "Donor, the lotus pond is not owned by the temple. There are fences around the lotus pond for everyone to watch, but it is not easy to pick the lotus. Therefore, during the season when the lotus blooms, there will be a special person every few days. We picked ten lotuses by boat and gave them to the destined people in front of the lotus pond. Today happens to be the lotus picking day, so the donor can go and have a look."

Xiao Tingyun was a little confused after hearing this, "This lotus pond is located in Guanghua Temple, why is it not owned by the temple?"

"The donor didn't know that this lotus pond was originally owned by Guanghua Temple, but..."

The young monk was a little embarrassed when he talked about this, "But then the war raged for many years, and the temple took in many refugees. The incense was not sustainable enough, so the lotus pond was transferred to it. After the war was over, Emperor Gaozu heard about this, so he transferred the lotus pond to it." To take back the royal family, build fences, and give lotus flowers to those who are destined to show their merit."

Ming Huanghuang said that he had no money, so he sold the lotus pond to others. The young monk also felt that his face was disgraced. Everyone in the capital knew about this, so no one asked this question. This was the first time that the young monk mentioned this matter. , inevitably a little embarrassed.

"I see." Xiao Tingyun thought, this lotus pond is equivalent to a memorial.

"So, the lotus pond is now owned by the royal family?"

"Yes, Guanghua Temple is a royal temple."

"Thank you so much, little master. Then we want to go shopping and find a place with less people. Does the little master know where the scenery is better?" Xiao Tingyun felt that this lotus gift was a matter of luck, and she still didn't know. Went to join in the fun.

"You're welcome. If the donor wants to enjoy the lotuses in peace, you can go through that door." The young master lowered his head and said, pointing to an inconspicuous small door, and then left in a hurry. There was a female ghost behind him. Same.

Xiao Tingyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She turned to Lanzhi and asked, "Is your lady looking scary?"

Lan Zhi looked at her young lady's hibiscus face, couldn't help but smile, and said excitedly, "If the young lady looks scary, I'm afraid not many girls in the capital will dare to go out."

"Talk nonsense, beg for a beating!" Xiao Tingyun tapped Lan Zhi's forehead with her fingertips.

"Hehehe...that's what it is~"

Several people smiled and went to the door the little master mentioned, and found that the lotus pond was indeed empty, and there were a few vines going around the door. As soon as he entered, Xiao Tingyun couldn't help but sigh, "It's really extraordinary."

"so beautiful!"

"It's so beautiful to see." Lanzhi couldn't help but look at it carefully.

Xiao Tingyun walked to a place and suddenly found a pond filled with lotus flowers and lotus leaves. The lotus flowers floated on the water and swayed slightly.

A red koi leaped out of the water and pecked off a piece of lotus, causing the entire lotus to tremble and create layers of ripples in the water.

"Lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are fields of lotus leaves..." Xiao Tingyun blurted out this poem in his mind.

The clear girl's voice reached the other end covered by the tall lotus leaves. It was not far from Xiao Tingyun, but she could clearly hear what Xiao Tingyun was thinking.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Quanfu was about to call, but he was frightened by Pei Yuning's eyes and immediately changed his words, "Sir, do you want me to avoid you?"

Pei Yuning was sitting on a small boat. Zhang Quanfu and an attendant were standing on the shore. Pei Yuning looked calm and said, "No need."

This place is already hidden, so I guess someone has to guide me to find it, so I won't disturb other people's interest.

"Yes." Zhang Quanfu had no choice but to agree, thinking: What happened to Your Majesty today? Aren’t you the ones who couldn’t bear people disturbing your purity in the past?
  Pei Yuning only stretched out his hand to pick a lotus flower that was in full bloom. His bony fingers carried a somewhat strategizing aura. Sitting there, he felt like he was waging war against the world.

Slowly, Zhang Quanfu heard the footsteps of those people approaching.

Xiao Tingyun was enjoying the scenery with great interest, but suddenly stopped.

The girl behind him also stopped.

Xiao Tingyun saw two people waiting on the shore, and one person was sitting on a boat in the pond.

How should she describe that person...

He has dark hair tied up in a crown and wears a blue gown. Although his outfit is extremely simple, he has unforgettable skills.

Perhaps it's the man's unusual temperament, like a book or a scroll, like a jade or a weapon, but also has a certain sense of oppression that should not be underestimated.

Pei Yuning also noticed the person coming, and their eyes met without hindrance, but only for a moment, they looked away again.

Although the hem of the woman's skirt is swaying in the wind, the lotus leaves are swaying, her eyebrows are picturesque, her fair face has a hint of illness, and her lips are becoming more and more rosy.

Just such a quiet look, it seems like ten thousand years have passed...

It was she who was defeated first, Xiao Tingyun thought.

Xiao Tingyun thought of the lotus-picking day mentioned by her young master, and saw the lotus in his hand. She suddenly felt so happy, it turned out that he was picking lotus.

Are the lotus pickers so beautiful?
  But doesn’t it mean there are few people here? Why didn't I go far before I met the lotus picker? Could it be that they went in the wrong direction?
  Although there were many doubts in his mind, Xiao Tingyun still stepped forward unhurriedly.

Zhang Quanfu, who was behind, took a look at her secretly and guessed which daughter of a certain family in the capital this was. How come she had never seen him before? She was so beautiful that even the concubines in the palace, who were proud of their appearance, could not compare to her.

I couldn't help but feel frightened and my eyes lit up.

"Well, sir." Xiao Tingyun stepped forward and bowed, calmly and calmly, like a gentle breeze.

Pei Yuning nodded slightly.

Zhang Quanfu understood what His Majesty meant, so he took the initiative to answer the question, "What's the matter, girl?"

Xiao Tingyun thought for a while, since he had bumped into it by accident, why not give it a try?
