Magic Palace Fengyue series: Self is the best among flowers

It was really a word that awakened the dreamer, Nangong Jiangdu felt the darkness in front of him suddenly dissipate, and he suddenly became enlightened like a willow, he stood up and said with a smile: "Yes, what we like is just each other now, why should we force ourselves to change? I can't be like Sanliang, and he can't be like me, but what does it matter, this doesn't stop us from loving each other."

When he said this, he hugged Qingming excitedly, and said with a happy smile: "Thank you, Uncle Ming, thank you for waking me up, don't worry, the two of us will be very happy, well, I'll go Talk to him." As he spoke, he ran out.

Qingming looked at his back with a smile, shook her head, and sighed softly: "You kid, it seems like you are in love with that bumpkin now, but you don't know that everything is not settled yet."

As he spoke, the smile slowly condensed on his face, and after a long while, he suddenly sighed, two streams of water appeared in his eyes, and he turned around and said to himself: "If only we could have such a mind and courage back then, Be optimistic, never admit defeat, keep moving forward, right? Will we be happy today? Sigh..."

Nangong Jiangdu eagerly looked for Qin Sanliang, but he didn't expect that the other party would take this opportunity to ask him for leave. He roughly knew what was going on, and he had a good idea in his heart, so he agreed without saying a word.

The promise is yes, but I flipped through the calendar, but continued: "It's just two or three days, and the Mid-Autumn Festival will be celebrated in three days. You must come back within three days and accompany me to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, okay?"

Qin Sanliang hesitated and said: "But master, maybe my parents will also want me to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with them, I... I have grown up so much, I haven't spent the Mid-Autumn Festival outside yet."

When he said this, Nangong Jiangdu was inevitably disappointed, but he also thought to himself that there was no reason to stop it. After all, it was a family relationship, and he did not have this position.

So after thinking about it for a while, I had to say with difficulty: "Okay, since that's the case, I'll let you this time, but once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, I must hurry back, otherwise I will deduct your wages."

Qin Sanliang was able to get a leave of absence smoothly, and he felt that he should be happy, but when he thought of parting, he felt sad.

Just when I was sad, when I heard Nangong Jiangdu's words, I couldn't help laughing, shook my head and said: "Master, thanks to you, I am no longer the bumpkin who has never seen the world when I first came to the mansion. It was deducting my monthly payment for one or two months, and I didn’t take it seriously.”

"Yah, you're going crazy now? Believe it or not, I won't reward you anymore." Nangong Jiangdu patted Qin Sanliang, and the two of them laughed together, finally diluting the sad atmosphere.

Qin Sanliang set off back to the countryside the next day, because Nangong Jiangdu sent a carriage to take him off, so he rushed back more than an hour ago.He couldn't say a word to his parents, so he went straight to Cuihua's house. He had no other purpose, but wanted to find out why Cuihua wanted to divorce.

Cuihua's parents were very polite when they saw that he came in person. It was their fault first, but now the Qin family didn't make it difficult for them and they divorced. They really didn't say anything, so they poured tea and made some rough Snacks to entertain him.

Qin Sanliang asked a few words, and when asked why he retired, Cuihua's parents faltered.

So he simply made it clear: "Uncle Zhao, I have no other intentions. If Cuihua has a sweetheart, I will leave without saying a word. But if you are greedy for money and want to give her to the rich If she is small, I advise you to think it over, Cuihua agrees and I won’t say anything, if she disagrees, don’t go against her wishes, rich people are not easy to treat.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a red figure rushing in from the outside, it was Cuihua, and the girl flicked her braids and said loudly: "Brother Sanliang, I am sorry for you, and I am engaged to you Afterwards, I fell in love with someone else, but unfortunately, my parents refused to let us go. Later, suddenly a noble person was willing to help us, so my parents divorced the engagement. If you are angry, you can beat me and scold me, and I can give back a lot of gifts You, I only hope that you will forgive me..."

As she was talking, Qin Sanliang looked into her eyes, and before she finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Since that's the case, I have nothing to say, and there is no need to return the bride price. Although we can't get married, we will still be married in the future." My friend, after all, the two villages live in the same village, so I don’t see you when you look down. That’s fine, Uncle Zhao, please be busy, I won’t bother you any more.”

After he finished speaking, he left, leaving father Zhao, mother Zhao, and Cuihua looking at each other. After a long while, father Zhao sighed and said, "He is a good boy. If we marry him, we can rest assured that we will hand you over to him. But what about you?" The two of you don’t have this fate, that’s fine, don’t think about it, now this matter is over, and in two or three months, I’ll marry you and the Zhang family boy.”

Qin Sanliang walked back all the way, his parents were afraid that he would be angry, but after a closer look, the son didn't seem to take this matter to heart, so he was relieved.Cook some delicious food every day and leave him to live at home. After two days pass, this day will be the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Qin Sanliang wakes up in the morning and sees the days on the yellow calendar, and his mind is in a trance, thinking that Nangong Jiangdu is an orphan, and during the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will share the family relationship with his parents and younger brothers, but he is the only one left in the big mansion, and who is he with? What about the holidays?

Although there is Uncle Ming, they don't seem to talk much on weekdays.The other maids and servants didn't see them getting close to the master. Wasn't the master lonely and pitiful when the moon was in the sky?

Because of thinking like this, although it is a festive season, I can't say anything happy, and I didn't take a few bites for lunch.

Seeing his appearance, the parents of Qin's family knew that he had thoughts. The two old men didn't expect that their son was worried about their master, and thought that he had a good friend in that mansion, so he was not angry when Cuihua retired.I've been in my teenage years, only seeing my son's distraught appearance, how could he be like this except for a person in love.

The Qin family's parents were happy. The women in the city, even though they were maids in the mansion, were many times better than the village girls.

Qin Sanliang didn't know what his parents were thinking. He lay on the bed and couldn't even take a nap. He tossed and turned, and when he closed his eyes, he saw the figure of Nangong Jiangdu looking at the moon alone in the pavilion in the back garden.

The pain in his heart was flooding layer by layer, and there was also a faint inexplicable thing, he didn't know if it was the lovesickness people said, but he just felt thinking about Nangong Jiangdu, his chest was tight and painful, it seemed that he couldn't even breathe. smooth.

Finally, Qin Sanliang sat up from the bed with a "huh", and walked to the outer room in two or three steps. Seeing that his parents were not asleep, his younger brother went out to play.He was full of words but didn't know how to speak, he always felt that his actions were really unfilial.

It was the parents of the Qin family who saw his thoughts, and the two old people smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry to go back to spend the holidays with someone? Then go back, you are grown up now, and you don't have to spend the holidays with us." , your brother alone is enough at home.”

Qin Sanliang didn't expect his parents to say what was on his mind, and they were so reasonable, he couldn't help but smile, he simply cleaned up, picked up some sweet potatoes at home, and carried them back to Jiangdu Demon Palace.

Nangong Jiangdu is really bored, without Qin Sanliang by his side, without his naive and cute manners, he doesn't like everything, even the servants in the mansion say that the always gentle and kind master It was as if he had changed into a different person. When he got angry, it made people tremble with fear.

Seeing that it was already evening, a servant girl in the kitchen came over tremblingly and reported to him that moon cakes with various fillings were steamed in the kitchen, and asked him to choose the dried fruit moon cakes for the moon offering at night.

In the end, these words touched Nangong Jiangdu's mind, and he said bitterly: "What kind of festival is it? What do you want to celebrate? Pour out those moon cakes and snacks, who told you to make these things? Pour it up..."

Before she could finish her words, the little maid was so frightened that she cried, and finally Qing Ming said a word for her, Fang ran out with tears in her eyes, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The little maid went out, and Qin Sanliang entered the gate. When the servants who knew his relationship with Nangong Jiangdu saw it, they recited a few words of Amitabha in unison, and surrounded him in as if they were leading him, until they entered Nangong In Jiangdu's courtyard, everyone dispersed.

The second monk Qin Sanliangzhang couldn't figure it out, and while walking into the main room, he said to himself doubtfully, "Why are you so enthusiastic when you see me today? Could it be that if I'm not here for a few days, is there any happy event happening in the mansion?" Thinking of it Here, I had already arrived at the main house entrance, and seeing no one in the hall, I shouted loudly: "Master, I'm back."

Nangong Jiangdu was lying on the bed bored, thinking to go to bed early so as not to miss his relatives during the festive season, but what relatives can I miss?Simply do not go to the monthly payment.As soon as he thought of this, he heard Qin San's two yells.

Nangong Jiangdu got up immediately, still unable to believe his ears, thinking to himself, could it be that I was hallucinating due to excessive longing?The bumpkin clearly said that he would spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home.

Though thinking this way, he finally rushed out of the bedroom door, only to see the longing figure standing there, with two pockets at his feet, and a blushing face covered with crystal beads of sweat, who was fanning his hand there. catch the wind.

"Three taels..." Nangong Jiangdu yelled in surprise, like a wolf that has been hungry for a few days and suddenly sees a delicious lamb. Carefully loosen it, and look up and down at the dusty bumpkin.

"Didn't you say you're going to spend the holidays with your parents at home tonight? What's in those pockets?" Pulling Qin Sanliang to sit down, Qingming also came out, staring at the two big pockets curiously, secretly thinking Did you kill another pig and bring it to the Palace Master?

"Well... my parents have younger brothers to accompany them for the festival, so I... I will come back to celebrate the festival with you. The mooncakes in our house... are also... delicious..."

After talking about it, Qin Sanliang's face turned a little red, and then he walked quickly to the two pockets as if covering up, untied the mouth of the tied pockets, and said with a naive smile: "Master, this is something our family planted. Sweet potatoes and potatoes, our house is a field of sandbags, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes grown there are delicious, so I specially brought some back for you to try.”

"You stupid bun, you don't eat this kind of thing very often, you just go to the market to buy it once in a while, why don't you carry a big bag to the house, besides, you don't send a message back, I Let the carriage pick you up." Nangong Jiangdu was sweet and happy in his heart, but when he saw Qin Sanliang panting from exhaustion, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Master, this is the intention of three or two, you just accept his affection, why bother with so much?" Qingming coughed, thinking to herself, Palace Master, that is a bumpkin, you are an idiot, at this time When you say such things, tsk tsk, people don't know that you love him, and they think you are disgusted.

Nangong Jiangdu also came to his senses, and hurriedly nodded and said yes.At the same time, he called two maids and told them to inquire about whether the mooncakes in the kitchen were ready, and when they were ready, they would first pick the delicate ones and bring a few pieces for Qin Sanliang to eat.

The two servant girls took the order and went away, and came back after a while with their mouths curled up, and said to Nangong Jiangdu: "Master, Miss Xin in the kitchen said that they were all ready, but just now, the lord let them down. They also said that they didn't order these things to be made, who made them troublesome. So Miss Xin has obeyed the order and poured all the mooncakes."

"Bastard..." Nangong Jiangdu became anxious when he heard it, but after thinking about it, he seemed to have given such an order just now, and seeing Qin Sanliang's surprised eyes, he couldn't hold back.

He knew that Miss Xin in the kitchen was a pungent woman, and she must have been annoyed with his order. In fact, it was impossible to throw away those exquisite pastries, so he asked someone to pass it on, and this time only a few plates were brought.

With Qin Sanliang, this Mid-Autumn Festival is also a joyful one. When the moon rises, Nangong Jiangdu and Qin Sanliang sit side by side on the rockery pavilion, watching the full moon cast a soft and clear light.They were relatively speechless to each other, but at this time, silence was better than words.

"Sanliang, since the girl in your family has divorced, don't go back in the future, just stay with me in this magic palace, okay? Let's live a lifetime together, do you want to?"

There is no moment that can be more romantic and beautiful than this moment. If Nangong Jiangdu takes this opportunity to settle the matter, he will be the number one fool in Tianzi.

"That's good. But Palace Master, you won't like me for the rest of your life. You will have a wife in the future, and I will have to marry a wife and have children in the future. There are three things that are unfilial and have no offspring. When we all have wives and children in the future, the palace The Lord will not take me to heart."

Qin Sanliang replied with a smile, but his eyes did not dare to meet Nangong Jiangdu's gaze.

For some reason, when he said this, he felt extremely sad. He was even afraid that the Palace Master would be snatched away by another woman in the future, but why did he think so?The palace lord has never belonged to him.He is just a servant and a man, so he can't naively think that the palace lord belongs to him just because he has done that kind of thing to his master a few times?

Qin Sanliang didn't dare to reveal this kind of thoughts in front of Nangong Jiangdu, but who was Nangong Jiangdu? Just looking at his appearance, he guessed his thoughts very closely.

Smiling slightly, thinking that he is still struggling, but he already likes me, that's fine, as long as he lures me a few more times slowly, he doesn't need to scare him now.

Thinking of this, he lightly hugged Qin Sanliang's waist, making him stick to himself, and said softly: "I only like Sanliang. In my concept, there is no such thing as being unfilial and having three without descendants is the big one. I I will not marry a wife in the future. As for Sanliang, I will not interfere with you, as long as you have me in your heart. Well, the moon has come out, let’s go, let’s go to burn incense, and let the moon goddess bless us for a safe and happy life.”

This can almost be regarded as a continuous love story, Qin Sanliang's heart jumped out of his stomach when he heard it, his face felt hot, but his heart was very sweet and happy, so he nodded and came with Nangong Jiangdu After eating two more mooncakes, sitting and talking for a while, Fang spent another night in Nangong Jiangdu's room.

Qingming saw the two of them enter the room together early in the morning, and listened carefully, but there was no movement, so she knew that the palace master was playing some games there again.He sighed secretly in his heart: "Oh, this kid treats the person he likes with such tenderness, how could he possibly endure it until now when he is with others, but he just held back, that bumpkin, he doesn't know In whichever life you burn incense, this life will fulfill your fate with the Palace Master."

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhuangzi from all over the country came to report the harvest, and Nangong Jiangdu also got busy, receiving the shopkeepers every day, checking the accounts, and hosting banquets in various restaurants in the city.

During this busy time, except for going back to the house at night to have a small gathering with Qin San, most of the rest of the time was spent working outside.Not only him, but even Qing Ming had no time to relax, and he and he received the heads of the magic palaces from all over the world separately.

Qin Sanliang didn't take it seriously either. On this day, he finally opened up the vegetable field that Xiao had been thinking about for a long time. Beside the newly opened vegetable garden, he giggled and secretly waited for the master to come back, and gave him a surprise. Next spring, he can grow some green onions, coriander, and lettuce and cabbage. This large area can grow a lot.

Just as he was being happy, he suddenly heard someone talking outside the wall. His residence was on the west side of the courtyard wall, but this piece of land was on the east side of the courtyard wall. I can't come here, but I also know that there is another courtyard outside the courtyard wall, and there are guest rooms inside, all cleaned by beautiful maids.

Qin Sanliang had no intention of eavesdropping, but the voices of those maidservants were not low, and the wind drifted into his ears, and there were faint names of the master and himself, so he can't be blamed for caring, he is the person involved , so this cannot be counted as eavesdropping.

So I sat on the big rock and listened carefully, only to hear a servant girl with a clear and melodious voice say: "I don't understand what the master's eyes are, none of the servant girls in this mansion is better than that bumpkin, let alone how many princes The ladies of the nobility all like him, why did they just fall in love with that bumpkin."

Another servant girl with a low voice said: "This is fate. Who told you not to eat at the same table with the master? If you go, maybe the master favors you now. The master also ordered others to eat with him that day." Yes, but in the end he still doted on that bumpkin, maybe that person really has some extraordinary means.”

"He has a fart." The servant girl with a crisp voice suddenly raised her voice a few more times, even Qin Sanliang understood in her heart that this servant girl must have a good impression of Nangong Jiangdu, if the palace lord likes someone else , she has nothing to say, but she just likes herself, so why can't she help her feel aggrieved.

But Qin Sanliang was also puzzled, secretly thinking that the prince just likes to serve himself, and it is not a relationship between a man and a woman. They have the ability to be unfair here, why don't they show it in front of the master, maybe they are interested in being a concubine.It's just that when I thought of this, I felt unhappy again, so I quickly collected my mind and listened to what they had to say.

But another maidservant with a hoarse voice sneered and said, "What kind of jealousy are you eating? Do you really think that bumpkin is just flying on a branch? Don't dream about Spring and Autumn. The master just has no contact with such a person, so he is greedy It’s fresh, when you get it, when the freshness is gone, you throw it away.”

Qin Sanliang couldn't help being shocked by this maid's words. In fact, this is what he usually thinks and worries about.

But I will comfort myself by saying that there is no permanent feast in the world, and that I and my master will get married in the future, or I will not think about it at all, and forcefully suppress this worry.

At this time, I heard it from someone else's mouth. Apart from being frightened and frightened, I was also deeply depressed.

"Sister Xiangxiang, you said it lightly. Look at the master. Now I can't live without that bumpkin for a day. It's not as easy as you said to let go. It doesn't mean that for several mornings, the bumpkin stayed with the master. Is it in your room? I’ve done everything, and I haven’t seen the master getting bored.”

The woman named Xiangxiang sneered again, and said lightly: "You like a cat and a dog, you have to like it for a few days, how can you throw it away as soon as you get it? Let me make an analogy with you." , that bumpkin is just like the sweet potato flower in our backyard, it is really vulgar and annoying. The master is the most famous peony carefully cultivated in the garden, the king of all flowers, and the stars hold the moon. These two flowers are because of It’s fresh and stays together, but it’s still going to be separated when it grows. If you don’t believe me, just look at it. People from the same world are not at all. After the novelty is over, you can’t even talk to one place.”

The servant girl with a crisp voice said: "Miss Xiangxiang, your metaphor is really wonderful. A while ago, I heard Gardener Wang say that those sweet potato flowers are abominable. They take up the entire backyard, and they should all be shoveled. I'm afraid they have been shoveled now." Mostly."

The servant girl with a low voice also smiled and said: "That's right, could it be that the bumpkin can accompany the master to sing the wind and enjoy the moon, but not to play the piano and paint? I'm afraid he doesn't even know who is Li Taibai and Du Gongbu. Such a person, how can the master last long?" If you keep it by your side, sooner or later it will be shoveled like a sweet potato flower.”

When they said this, Qin Sanliang felt that his soul seemed to have left his body. The pain in his heart could not be described in words, and he felt as if his whole body was about to burst.Looking straight at the void in the middle of the sky, he suddenly stood up after a long while, and ran to the backyard.

When I came to the backyard to look, sure enough, I saw that almost all the sweet potato flowers that had been competing for beauty had been shoveled away, except for a few plants in the northeast corner.It was already Mid-Autumn Festival, and the flowers had withered a lot. The few withered flowers were shivering in the cold wind, and it was obvious that they would wither completely in the near future.

Standing there in a daze, Qin Sanliang felt hot and cold in his head. He couldn't help moving his footsteps and walked across the open space, muttering to himself, "There used to be a pink bush here... Here is a clump of bright red... Here are two clumps of water purple... Here is my favorite bright yellow... None, not anymore."

Since he knew that the backyard was full of sweet potato flowers that day, he would come to enjoy it every day when he was free. In the past two days, he just left this place because he was busy opening up vegetable fields. The lush flower bushes he was happy with were only petals scattered all over the ground.

While thinking about it, he came to the clusters of flowers in the northeast corner, squatted down and stroked those withered flowers and leaves carefully, the sadness in his heart was full, but he had nowhere to vent, blocking his breath It seems to have forgotten, only tears gushed out one by one like dropped beads, falling into the soil full of fallen flowers.

Suddenly there were footsteps not far away, and a voice said: "There are only a few trees left. After digging, the task will be completed, and you can go back to boil the pot for a drink."

Then footsteps came from behind, and another voice shouted and asked, "Hey, who is standing there? Get out of the way, don't delay our work."

"Working? What are you doing? Are you going to pick up these bunches of flowers too?"

Qin Sanliang suddenly stood up and turned around, his grief and anger burned this bumpkin who never loses his temper easily. He stared fiercely at the two people in front of him with red eyes, and shouted bitterly: "I won't let it go. With me here, none of you can touch this sweet potato flower."

Those two people rolled their eyes, leaned on the hoe in their hands, and said with a disdainful smile: "Who are you? You speak loudly. This is the magic palace. Is it a place for you to run wild? Gardener Wang has taken a fancy to the soil here and wants to replace it." The master opened a flower garden to grow peonies and chrysanthemums, those famous flowers and medicinal materials, what are you doing? What right do you have to stop us?"

Qin San was taken aback, and when he heard the two said that they wanted to open up a flower garden to plant famous flowers and medicinal materials, he couldn't help venting his anger. He remembered that Nangong Jiangdu also liked those famous flowers, and he also dismissed the sweet potato flower. Gu.I really have no position, let alone stop Wang Huajiang.

"Is... Did the master ask him to plant it? Master... The master clearly promised me that he won't... won't shovel these sweet potato flowers."

Qin Sanliang's eyes were red, and he argued in a low voice. He remembered that when he begged Nangong Jiangdu that day, the other party had indeed promised him. Even if he repented, it shouldn't be so fast, right?Anyway, a few days ago on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he even said that he liked him.

The two people glanced at each other, their eyes were full of surprise and playfulness, and one of them said: "Your name is the palace master, you must be the bumpkin he dotes on? It's okay, since the palace master loves you so much, you Then go and tell him to move these bunches of broken flowers to that courtyard, and take care of them as you like, without embarrassing us, wouldn’t it be good?”

He was so blocked that Qin Sanliang couldn't answer anything.He had made this request with Nangong Jiangdu that day, but the other party immediately rejected it, saying that it would be embarrassing for him to plant sweet potato flowers in that yard.
