Spring Forest Evening

This night, neither the three girls from Liufeng Pavilion nor Shen Fu who was resting in the outer courtyard had ever imagined that the so-called people are not as good as heaven, and it was just two girls who went out to go shopping for the festival. In the afternoon of the next day, seeing that the application time had passed, the pre-arranged knock signal outside the corner door did not sound on time.

In view of being so solemnly instructed by her prince last night, what Ms. Biao did was said to be risky. Seeing that the time had passed, Chuntao resolutely decided to hug the little shadow after wandering restlessly in the corner for a while. It went to the outer courtyard to find Mu Yun.

The prince said that if he is not here today, Mu Yun can make the decision.

It's just that I never thought that now that Mu Yun is the team leader, she would put on airs, as soon as she heard it, she said to herself with a smile:

"Chuntao, it's okay. Miss Biao will come back later. Isn't Chunyu accompanying her? Don't worry, you should go to the corner gate to guard it. What if they come back now? Isn't it still Have to wait outside the door? Go!"

Chuntao was right when she thought about it, she was too impatient, so she hurried back to the corner door with Xiaoying in her arms.

I just waited and waited, not to mention that the Wei time had already passed. Later, when the sun was sinking and the Shen time was about to pass, there was still no movement outside the corner gate.

For this reason, Chuntao boldly opened the door and went outside to have a look, but unfortunately this is a relatively secluded alley, Prince Jing's Mansion is a first-class location at the foot of the imperial city, ordinary people would not come here, especially At this time, the tall trees were thickly covering the sun, but there was no one underneath, Chuntao hurriedly closed the door and shrank back.

"Little Shadow, tell me, Miss Biao...why haven't they come back?" The little maid was so worried, she looked at the little black dog at her feet and muttered to herself, do you want to go to Mu Yun again?

But what if Miss Biao and the others just come back when I go to talk about it, the more likely it is at this time, alas, the prince is also, why haven't you come back now, usually you will come to Liufeng Pavilion at this time.

What Chuntao didn't know was that Shen Fu had already returned to the palace, and was already ordering Mu Yun to send someone out, but Mu Yun felt rather embarrassed about it: "My lord, the capital is so big,...Miss Biao, she... Did I tell you where she was going to go?"

Even a general location or even a direction is fine, so that the search is at least a bit accurate, otherwise the brothers under him can only search like headless chickens, and they may not be able to find it all night.

Of course, Mu Yun expressed optimism about this, maybe the prince is still looking around, and Miss Biao will come back by herself.

Although Ms. Biao said she had been to Zhongnan Road before, she was a rich lady after all. Whenever she went out, she was not followed by a bunch of people?What's more, Chun Yu was with her. Chun Yu had always acted prudently, and nothing happened.

Shen Fu didn't answer his words, but just gave him a cold look, his expression was not very good.

Mu Yun knew that his lord hadn't asked Miss Biao in advance, well, then don't get into trouble, and honestly send someone out first, for example, there are some famous restaurants in the capital that have both restaurants and girls. A street like your favorite jewelry store?As for places to enjoy the scenery, such as Liuhu, uh, it won’t be that far away, right?Secondly, Miss Biao wouldn't be brave enough to revisit her hometown, would she?

For the big festival, it should be mainly to eat, drink and buy some things that the girl likes. Miss Biao is originally from the capital, but now she has lost her status, so she won't have to crowd with everyone to enjoy the flowers and scenery. This is Mu Yun As a single young man, he tried his best to guess the boudoir daughter he was not familiar with.

With the draft in his stomach, Mu Yun carefully expressed his thoughts to Shen Fu.

Shen Fu didn't quite agree with his idea. After all, Zhou Heng wasn't the old cousin, but now it was getting late, and the places to enjoy the flowers and scenery had already closed, so I guess I should still be greedy for novelties in those busy streets, right?

He nodded in agreement.

Little did they know, what the two girls did at that time was exactly the opposite of what the two men thought—

Under the intoxicating sunset and the gentle evening breeze, the two of them had already had a delicious dinner and were sitting comfortably in a quiet courtyard, with a tall epiphyllum full of flower buds hanging in the middle .

The courtyard is very elegantly arranged, and there are not many people inside. Everyone sits and drinks tea in twos and threes. A white curtain is specially set up on the epiphyllum in the middle. Behind the curtain, there is an old man playing the piano. The sound of the piano is simple and elegant.

"Oh, Chunyu, this is the money spent wisely." Zhou Heng took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and listened to the sound of the piano: "Such elegant things, alas, are rare, luckily we are lucky!"

Originally, I was just casually shopping, but I saw such a sign saying that it is a night appreciation of epiphyllum.

Zhou Heng hadn't seen it before, but he knew the idiom "Flash in the Pan" when he was in elementary school, and he paid for it after he came in to see the venue.

Chun Yu also pursed her lips and smiled when she heard her say this: "No, I, thanks to you, I have to hide this from Chun Tao when I go back, or she would cry with envy!"

He said to himself again: "The mansion should have received the letter by now, right?"

"Don't worry, the recipient of the letter is the palace. How dare they not go? And we also said that the money is only paid when the letter is delivered. The man looks honest and honest, so he won't make money!" Zhou Heng expressed that he was not worried at all. .

Well, anyway, the inn is also booked, even if the inn is for its own business, it will help find a reliable person, Chun Yu felt relieved, and began to drink the tea on the table happily.

Not to mention, although the night's viewing of epiphyllum was expensive, the arrangement was really good. Even with the tea, Chun Yu thought she was ignorant, but Miss Biao said it was delicious, so of course it was delicious.

Moreover, the qin master was very skilled, at first he was calm and distant, and then he gradually became better, and when the sound of the qin was as eager as rain, the first epiphyllum bloomed gracefully amidst the exclamation of everyone.

Then the night fell and the lights came on. This time, a different girl played the zither, just like the gurgling water, and the epiphyllum bloomed one after another amidst the beautiful music. On the flower tree, there are beautiful big white flowers, as white as jade, with a fragrant fragrance.

"Oh, it's a pity that there is no camera now!" Ms. Biao sighed and said something inexplicable. Later, she saw that there was an artist next to him painting and depicting the beauty of epiphyllum, so she went to buy one with joy. Said to himself flatteredly: "This painting is not expensive, and the artist even gave me an inscription for free."

Uh, although Chun Yu didn't understand these things, she had an intuition that the money for the gift of the inscription should have been included in the price of the painting, and now she realized that Miss Biao was indeed a wealthy lady who didn't care much about money. Not to mention, I even reserved two epiphyllums that were about to wither soon!

Listen to how they were persuaded to willingly pay for it: "People have said that epiphyllum has medicinal value. It can be used for cooking, soup and tea. I think it can be taken home to make tea for the prince, hehe!" If you come out to play, you have to give the person who pays something, right?

Chun Yu: All right, anyway, the prince gave enough money before I came here, and I was afraid that Miss Biao would not have enough money, but I want to know. When I go back, Miss Biao brought him such a painting by a not-so-famous artist, plus two withered flowers for him. Make tea and drink, what kind of expression will it be.

At that time, I must insist on staying next to Miss Biao, haha.

Thinking of this, Chun Yu was afraid that she would laugh out loud, so she nodded desperately in agreement, then raised her head and pretended to look at the stars in the sky to cover up the expression on her face trying to hold back her laughter...

At this time, Xu Shizhong was past, and the people sent out by Prince Jing's mansion saw that it was already getting late, and they all thought that the two girls must have returned, so they all returned to the mansion one after another. Aren't they just the big maids of the two mansions, Mother Shen The girl under him must have a sense of proportion.

In the outer study, Mu Yun began to feel that something was wrong. No matter how capricious Ms. Biao was, there was Chun Yu next to her. Anyway, she should have returned by now.

Seeing that Shen Fu's complexion was getting worse and worse, and his master and his elders were not around at the moment, he could only bite the bullet and go forward to try to explain and comfort his lord by the way: "My lord, my subordinates think it might be that Miss Biao returned to the Zhou Mansion , and then it was getting late, let Mrs. Tai and the others stay?"

It is quite possible to miss relatives during the festive season. Of course, Miss Biao acts willfully, Mrs. Zhou and the others will not, so they should send someone to send a letter to the palace. In the joy of seeing it, it may not be forgotten for a while.

What Mu Yun was thinking, Shen Fu also thought of. After a moment of silence, he decided to convince himself that this was the case. Zhou Heng didn't know the etiquette of dealing with people, and he only had Chun Yu at his side. , while Mrs. Tai and her aunt took it for granted that they knew about it, after all, it was almost curfew right now.

Otherwise, she is also a person who knows how to measure, and it is absolutely impossible for her to wander outside until she forgets the time to come back, not to mention that she is accompanied by Chun Yu.As for whether something happened, Shen Fu had an intuition that it was impossible, and he was unwilling to think about this possibility, so when he finally thought about it, he let out a heavy breath: "Forget it, you go down first, by the way, let people Go and tell Chuntao, and tell Miss Biao that she has something to do and won't be coming back tonight."

It's a pity that the possibility of intuition is impossible, but later on, in the dead of night, Shen Fu only felt that the more he thought about it, the more likely it was: What if, what if the third princess had already set their sights on Prince Jing's mansion?

Although the third princess seems unlikely to have such a plan alone, after all, there is Zhongnan Road and the queen mother behind her. Back then, the queen mother was able to help the current emperor succeed in ascending the throne. It is conceivable that her ability is now for her only one. Daughter, what can't you do?

Thinking of this, Ben was lying in his clothes, so he simply got up and went out irritably, looking up at the sky with his hands behind his back, hoping that his thoughts would not come true...
