Fourth Master's Pearl

Chapter 12

"How is it?" Chuqing No.20 asked once.

"Very good." Wanyi No.20 gave the same answer once.

Chuqing was discouraged, she came up with ideas from Wanyi to make something new for her to eat, and she replied like this every time,

However, Chuqing's mood shifted instantly after she took a big mouthful of hot glutinous rice.

"One cup of tea, half a volume of leisure books, it's better than a living god." Chu Qing tsk-tsk.I would like to add a sentence in my heart, only one four four is missing.

"Sister, Sister Qing, you guys really know how to enjoy yourself." Hongshi's voice sounded, and a small body swaggered from the bamboo forest path, followed by a trail of people.

Chu Qing curled her lips, quickly looked at the small amount of rice in bamboo tubes, and said with pain, "Brother Hongshi, what a coincidence that you came back."

Wanyi smiled and asked Ke'er to make food for Hongshi. Hongshi sat beside Chuqing, staring at the steaming bamboo tube on the table, "What is it again? Do you eat bamboo?"

"Eat what you want, why bother?" Chu Qing pouted.

"Sister Qing," Hong Shi was dissatisfied, "Why are you so cruel to me alone?"

"Well, love is deep and responsibility is serious."

Hongshi's eyes were piercing, he took half a mouthful of rice, swallowed it hurriedly, and asked, "Really?"

Chu Qing had a treacherous face, she bent her peach blossom eyes and nodded, "Of course." The love is deep and the responsibility is the heart of the parents.

Wanyi looked at her younger brother and sister joking, showing a doting smile. "Hongshi, is the show any good?"

"It's beautiful!" Hong Shi said cheerfully, "There is a grandson monkey making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, Zhong Kui is beating ghosts, and ping-pong-pong is so lively."

"Puchi." Chu Qing laughed, "Brother Hongshi went to listen to the sound."

Master Hongshi said with an air, "There are many more. I'm afraid you don't know after I tell you."

Wanyi smiled, and picked up a grain of glutinous rice on Hong Shi's face, "Well, Hong Shi knows the most."

Hongshi looked at Chuqing proudly, look, my sister said so.Chu Qing smiled and nodded to coax him.

After playing happily for a whole day, in the evening, Chuqing came out from Yingshui Lanxiang, and went around the lake to enjoy it.The golden sun in early autumn floats on the sparkling water, like the yolk of a duck egg cut in half by a mercury knife.Half of the river is rustling and half of the river is red.

The dew begins to gather on the grass blades, and the crickets begin to weave their first song of the night.Chuqing was intoxicated by the heart-stirring beauty of the Old Summer Palace.She didn't know that her future was closely related to this garden.

On the bamboo board bridge leading to Lianxi Music Place stands a figure as clear as bamboo.The shattered light of the setting sun sprinkled a thin layer of reddish orange on his face, and the hem of the moon-white robe fluttered in the wind.Staring faintly at the lavender mountains in the distance.

Chuqing's peach blossom eyes curved up, and the corners of her mouth turned up.This picture of autumn evening in the Ming Garden just lacks the signature and seal of the owner.

"Four-four—" Chuqing called Chunhua and told her to follow from a distance, waving her hands and shouting.

The voice was ethereal, fresh, and tainted with the feeling of disturbing the dreamer. ,
Yinzhen just watched Chuqing happily running over with a calm expression, and then naturally bent over when she reached the finish line, and hugged her around her arms.

"There are no rules." Yin Zhen blamed without sincerity.The tone seems harsh, but in fact there is no criticism at all.

Chu Qing had a tacit understanding of automatic filtering, and said coquettishly: "Si Si, you have been out for a day! I miss you!"

Yinzhen disapproved, "Who is having fun at Yingshui Lanxiang?"

Chuqing rested her chin on Yinzhen's shoulder, "Brother Hongshi said that you let Huang Mafa stay in Changchun Garden, so you won't be able to come back for a while."

"I'm feeling unwell, so I'll resign first." Yinzhen actually explained to Chuqing.

After hearing this, Chuqing quickly raised her head to look at Yinzhen's face, and asked nervously, "What's uncomfortable?"

"Headache."

"Headache?"

After hearing this, Chu Qing stretched out two soft and boneless hands to rub Yinzhen's temples, "Is this better?"

Yinzhen hugged her with one hand, freed one hand to take off her two small hands, held her in big palms, and said, "It's all right now."

Chuqing blinked, "Really?"

Yinzhen still replied indifferently: "Really."

But anyone, as long as they are familiar with Yinzhen, will not be indifferent, because Yinzhen is too face-saving, answering these trivial questions too many times.

Chu Qing suddenly realized, holding her heart exaggeratedly, "Oh, I see. It's because I saw me, right?"

Yinzhen carried Chuqing to the Lianxi music place, and said with a smile, "It hurts even more to see you."

Chuqing friendly chose not to listen to evil, hugging Yinzhen's neck loosely, looking at the garden embraced by the twilight, the scenery reversed before her eyes, reversed.

"Sisi smells of alcohol." Chu Qing said affirmatively after confirming.

Yinzhen's pace slowed down a bit, and then quickly resumed the rhythm at the beginning. "Have it?"

After returning to Yuanmingyuan, he deliberately changed his clothes and rinsed his mouth with fragrant tea.

"Well, a little bit." Chuqing sniffed again like a puppy, "Chuqing wants to drink too!"

Yinzhen thought that the little one would hate the smell of wine, so he burst out laughing and said, "Nonsense."

Chuqing hugged her tightly, she actually cared about the smell of alcohol and smoke, but the indifferent smell of alcohol on Sisi's body was really like the fragrance in the wine.If you like someone, will even your senses change?
Chuqing murmured: "Chuqing only messes around with Sisi."

Yinzhen heard it, but said nothing, and touched Chuqing's small head with his hand.The eyes are boundless and soft.

Chunhua has already gone to the Lianxi music place to take care of it first, and Xiao Gaozi is also there.He specially found the tea room and handed Chunhua a pack of tea leaves and a few kudzu flowers, and said: "Master, I drank some wine today, and made a pot of pearl orchid tea. It's not strong, but light. The kudzu flowers are for relieving hangovers." .”

Chu Qing only brought some jasmine scented slices that she likes to drink here. It turned out that there was a tea pot specially prepared for Yinzhen in Haitang Garden, but she didn't bring it out with her this time.

Chunhua smiled and said, "We will never learn the kindness and consideration of Mr. Gao."

Xiao Gaozi politely and modestly said, "Okay, that's it! We subordinates, none of us are counting on our superiors to live and support our families. It should be. It's not my bragging. Follow our lord. If you're not careful, cautious or down-to-earth, how can you do that?" There are hundreds of people in this palace, who dares to be careless in front of the prince? He dare not even make a sound while panting. Only your master is the best. I really admire it!"

Chuqing and Yinzhen have arrived.There are a few more stars in the sky.Under the dark blue sky, the cool breeze is refreshing, and the fragrance of Han Ou is bursting.Chuqing likes the night here the most, and said to Yinzhen: "Sisi, how about I accompany you outside to watch the stars and enjoy the cool?"

Yinzhen said lightly, "Are you accompanying me?"

Chuqing grinned, "At the same time, you accompany me."

Yinzhen ordered the bamboo couch to be moved out, and the maid on duty took out the incense burner and lit the incense to repel mosquitoes.Chunhua and Xiao Gaozi brought over a delicate carved nanmu table with tall feet, on which were complete teapots and cups.

Yinzhen put Chuqing down, sat down by himself, picked up the teacup, blew on it, took a sip, and said emotionlessly, "It's too hot."

Chunhua hurriedly knelt down, not daring to argue, her head was almost on the ground.

Chuqing lifted the lid of the tea and blew it carefully, then looked at Yinzhen with a smile, "What about now?"

Yinzhen didn't look at her, put down the teacup and said, "Back off."

Chunhua didn't dare to move rashly, Chuqing smiled and pulled Yinzhen, "I'm hungry on April."

Yinzhen glanced at the spring flowers on the ground and said, "Didn't you hear what your master said?"

Chunhua hurriedly replied: "Yes, servant girl will go get ready now."

Retreating to the tea room, Xiao Gaozi complained in a low voice: "Oh, sister Chunhua, you just said you should be careful and you forgot."

Chunhua caressed her heart and said: "At least I was not punished, I didn't forget to cool the tea for the prince, but I put the cup of Gege's by mistake in the prince's hand."

As soon as Chunhua and the others retreated, Chuqing leaned on Yinzhen again, holding his arm with her small hand, and chattering about what happened today.

Chunhua brought a plate of steamed cakes filled with rose hips that Chuqing often eats, Yinzhen glanced at them, and said, "Eat bamboo tube rice and eight-treasure porridge during the day, and eat this at night, so you don't worry about saving food? Take it out and change it to something else."

Of course Chunhua obeyed, Chuqing didn't care, she wasn't hungry at all, she just said that to ease the atmosphere.

"Chunhua, ask Xiaoshitou to make Yukou Cake." She still remembered Sisi's favorite food.

After finishing speaking, he asked Yinzhen to look at him demonstratively, "Are you okay?"

Yinzhen gave a soft "hmm", and looked at the faintly visible shadow of water chestnut fragrance under the clear and light night.A crescent moon sheds light and clear moonlight of glazed white.

Chuqing watched silently, and Yinzhen did not speak either.The moonlight is speechless, and the starlight is also speechless.

The night wind was gradually dewy, and Yin Zhen spread his sleeves and covered Chu Qing's small back as if returning to his senses.Chuqing took advantage of the cat's embrace and closed her eyes comfortably.

In a half-drowsy, half-awake state, Chu Qing seemed to hear Sisi uttering a few words that sounded like words.

Jiangnan Willow…

Fourteen five...

It rained for several days.

Autumn in Yuanmingyuan is more serious.Most of the lotus flowers in Lianxi music place have become lotus pods, with a circle of golden stamens hiding their heads and showing their tails among the green leaves.

Chunhua walked around a few times and appeared behind her master again.She found that her master had stopped recently, and had been sitting in front of the window of the small hall for a long time, looking at something but not seeming to see anything.A few days ago, I was still in high spirits, so I made a special trip to the prince to borrow a book to read, but after looking through it, I stopped touching it.

"Master, would you like some pastries?"

"Don't eat."

"Master, do you want to play with Da Gege?"

"Don't go."

"Master..." Chunhua was silent, she rarely saw her little master so quiet and a little sad.Why sad?She couldn't tell, anyway, she just felt that the master was a little sad.

"Master, you have been watching for a long time, what are you looking at?"

"Look at the rain."

"Amituofu, stop the rain quickly. Master, if you look at it like this, Chunhua will be very worried."

"Hmm." Chu Qing responded in a vague way.
