Jianghai Wuyue

Chapter 8: Surprise

After talking to Mrs. Liu about my son, I heard someone outside reporting that the Fifth Young Master had returned.Before the little maid opened the felt curtain, a red figure rolled in, and rolled into Liu Shi's embrace with a crisp voice shouting.

"Mother... I was praised by my husband today, saying that my handwriting is good." The half-grown boy has grown up gracefully, and there are many delicate and delicate features of a woman between his eyebrows and eyes.A pair of eyes squinted, like a coquettish cat, full of sweetness.The thin and petite body is in Liu's arms, and there is a string of clear and transparent red jade beads hanging on her hands, which makes the swallow-like birthmark on the back of her hands even more rosy.

Chen Lingnahan, reading between the lines in the letter, his younger brother is not a coquettish person, on the contrary, he has a calm and stable atmosphere.It is completely different from this boy who is still like a four-year-old kid now.

Just as he was about to say hello, he saw the young man turn his head and look at Chen Ling who was sitting beside him with his dizzy eyes.In the snow that leaked in from outside the window, there was a mysterious purple aura in the eyes.And the appearance of that young man was exactly the same as the face of the person who imprisoned Chen Ling in the pagoda in his previous life.

They are all delicate and beautiful women, their eyebrows and eyes are very similar to those of the Yue family in the southern country.A pair of black eyes were filled with curious moisture, looking at them as wet as a newborn deer, causing Chen Ling's heart to tremble with an ominous shudder.

"Mother, is this my brother?" Chen Xi tilted his head and looked at the brother who had never seen him sitting on the side. Seeing Chen Lingsheng's beauty, and his whole body exudes a gentle and warm aura that makes people approachable, he couldn't help but sigh. Twist out from Liu Shi's embrace, tentatively holding a corner of Chen Ling's sleeve, and said affectionately with crooked eyes: "Brother, my name is Chen Xi, I was the one who drew the picture of plum blossoms in the mountains that I gave you earlier. "

Chen Ling didn't know how he endured it, he just felt that his soul had flown out, and indifferently watched his body slowly burst into a soft and joyful smile, facing this brother who could not be his at all. He said softly: "I know your name, and I also know that my mother likes to call you Xi'er, so I will call you that in the future! I really like the picture of plum blossoms in the mountains, and it is hanging in my room now. I came back in a hurry this time, so I didn’t buy presents properly, this nuclear carved boat, let’s play with it first. When my brother goes to the streets someday, I’ll find some good things for you.”

The nuclear carved boat was given to him by brother Tongming, he said it was a gadget he saw when he was traveling abroad, it is not very expensive, it is more unique and delicate, it is also suitable for children.

Chen Xi really loved this nuclear carving boat so much that he would not let it go after holding it in his hand, his expression was quite childish and innocent.Seeing that Chen Ling was kind to him, he threw away all the cautious temptations before, and started chatting next to Chen Ling without timidity.

Chen Ling felt the scorching heat of the young man's body on his arm, but it felt like he was in the lake with countless icy edges, frost and snow in the midst of nine cold days, and even the internal organs were filled with cold air.At first glance, this child is not of the Chen family. From head to toe, he looks like a nobleman of the Yue family.He clearly remembered in his previous life that his younger brother, who looked similar to Mrs. Liu, had a pair of eyes that were inherited from his father. The eyes were bright, and they were extraordinarily noble.How did it change into the appearance of an outlander like it is now.

It was so obvious that something was wrong, and no one in the family showed any difference.The mother is also loving and loving, as if Chen Xi is really her child.If he didn't know that there are no gods and ghosts in this world who can make people obedient like puppets, he really thought that the whole family was bewitched by ghosts.What is hidden in it, he really wants to know.

Chen Ling swallowed down his throat, swallowed all the questions in his heart, took Chen Xi's hand and sat at the round table where he was eating, talking and laughing, holding a chopstick of the soft and tender tofu stewed in the anchovies tofu soup, Put it on Chen Xi's dish.

"Most of Tianmu Mountain's special foods are seafood birds and poultry. Because it is close to the mountain and the sea, people here eat spicy food better, and most of the soil instruments they bring back are extremely spicy." Chen Ling only felt that he had put All the glory of the past is gone, only the full-fledged pretending is left, and he can laugh heartily at such a weird situation. , "We in Yuzhou like to eat light food, and I don't know if you are used to it."

"I'm used to it, I'm used to it!" Chen De raised his hand and shouted cheerfully, his eyes were shining like two little stars, and he grabbed Chen Ling's sleeve and said coquettishly: "I want to eat it right now." , Brother, where is that thing, can I take it out now?"

"These things are still in the box now, and it will take a while to dig them out. I'm afraid I can't eat them now, so let's wait for the evening. I will ask someone to cook these delicious things in the evening, so that you will fall in love with them as soon as you eat them. From now on Just follow me. Wherever I go, you will follow, and be my brother's little tail, okay?" Chen Ling twisted Chen Xi's upturned nose, teasing him.

Chen Xi looked up lovingly and let Chen Ling play tricks on her. Mao'er's eyes were full of closeness and liking, not as cold and violent as the person she saw in her previous life.

Chen Ling was physically and mentally exhausted after eating this meal, and when he finally left, he still had to concentrate on dealing with the annoying Chen Xi, and he didn't come back from Xiaoxiangzhou until the sun was westward.

When I just went up to the pontoon bridge of Cangyue Mountain, I saw the phoenix flower like a rain of meteors. I don't know how to cultivate it. Even in such a cold weather, it actually exudes a burning vitality that is soaring into the sky.

Cuiwei, who followed, saw Chen Ling looking at the phoenix flowers slanting over the wall, smiled and said softly: "The flowers in the young master's courtyard have hired a gardener to cultivate the soil and fertilize all the year round, just to make the flowers grow. It always blooms in all seasons, and it has not achieved such a grand scene earlier. This year alone, as if knowing that the young master is coming back, the flowers bloomed early, even in this winter, the same bonus is like fire. A few days ago, the gentleman from the Qiuhong Pavilion wrote a greeting card, wanting to use the courtyard of the young master, just because the phoenix flowers are in full bloom. However, the wife refused, saying that he is waiting for the young master to come back, and it is up to you call the shots."

This phoenix flower tree was bought by Chen Ling in the market for a tael of silver when he was a child. Everyone said that he was cheated, but he had a premonition that he didn't know where he came from, so he insisted on putting it in the yard. A seed was buried.When he left, he was only one person tall, but now he has grown so tall.

"This phoenix flower was given to me by an old man I met in the street market when I was four years old. He said that when the tree blooms, a phoenix will fly to stop and descend the purest lotus in the world to protect everything. A person with a pure heart." Chen Ling couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of himself in the street market looking up, pulling the old man by the hem of his clothes, and perseveringly asking if there would really be a phoenix coming.

"At that time, I really thought that the phoenix would come, and I took good care of it day and night, wishing to sleep and rest under this tree. But I couldn't wait for me to see the appearance of the phoenix coming, so I went to Tianmu Mountain. I didn't come back to see this tree until today. A phoenix flower that has grown up." Chen Ling stretched out his hand and gently stroked the old phoenix flower tree. There were small protrusions on the gray-brown bark, which caused rough discomfort in his palm.

On the ground covered with a layer of white snow, fiery red petals fell scatteredly. Chen Ling picked up a petal, and the slender petals were still stained with a little snow bead.

"It's only now that I understand that it's just a joke. Unfortunately, the original mood can never come back." Chen Ling looked disappointed. Such a simple time has long been like a faded canvas, no matter how the pictures in it are. The freshness of life is no longer what it used to be.

"Pick up the petals on the ground, dry them, and put them in a sachet." Chen Ling lightly ordered the maid who greeted him in the yard, and it happened that Mei Xiang, who had a low eyebrow and a pleasing eye, caught his eye, and she also specially instructed her Said: "I want this sachet on me, you can go to Lin Sina in a while. Remember, don't damage this flower, and keep it intact."

Mei Xiang bowed her head and agreed, she had already changed into lake green clothes and all her jewelry, she looked delicate and graceful, not at all as miserable as she was when she was in Lanyue Residence.Cuiwei glanced at Mei Xiang subtly from the corner of her eyes, thinking that this girl is about to fly up a branch and become a phoenix.

Regardless of the turmoil in Cuiwei's heart, Chen Ling rubbed the center of his brows tiredly after ordering the matter, and said to Lin Si lightly: "I am tired today, and you can go and confess to your mother in a while, saying that I can't spend the night with her today. I have eaten, and I will make up for it tomorrow."

Lin Si glanced at Chen Ling's frowning brows, the original joy of seeing his mother gradually cooled down, and the hidden worries in his heart came up again.With a low eyebrow and pleasing eyes, he promised, dispersed the maids in the courtyard, waited for Chen Ling to fall asleep, and then hurried to Xiaoxiangzhou.

The house in Cangyue Mountain is next to a small hill, and there are snow cherry blossoms planted on the hill, but it is not the time to bloom, and the bare branches stretch softly. Fortunately, there is still a layer of floating snow hanging on the branches. As for the loneliness and desolation.The phoenix flower in the courtyard protrudes from this, and the fiery red Kazuki grows just right against the house, and its luxuriant branches just cover the roof.

The stretched branches are right in front of the window of Chen Ling's bedroom. If the gardener hadn't been pruning them often, they might have grown into the middle of the room long ago.

The climate in Yuzhou is warm and humid, so I don't like big window sashes.Chen Ling is different, but he just likes the empty window sashes, and the bedroom and study are full of large hollowed-out and carved window panes.The clear moon-white window screens are now wide open, and the slightly bitter fragrance of Phoenix flowers blowing towards the face fills the room.

Scattered petals fell in, and a few petals were stained on the bed. The bright red ones were dotted with blue-colored bed curtains, and they were not so beautiful.

Sitting on the bed, Chen Ling stretched out his hand to gently brush the petals away. Just as he was about to put them on the table, he raised his eyes and saw the phoenix flower, as if he knew that the owner had returned, and it was raining down on the sky. Phoenix flowers rain everywhere.A thick layer of phoenix petals was spread in front of the wide-open pane, and bright red flakes were flying down Chen Ling's head, shoulders, and body.

There was a wind blowing from a distance, with the cold and dry water vapor in the snow, blowing the rain of fire and red flowers in the anime sky, making the whole room red.The petals are too light and soft, spinning gracefully with the wind, like a butterfly with wings, dancing dexterously.

A little maid came in with a cup of tea, looked up and saw the wind gushing in from the wide window sash, blowing the moon-white thin shirt on the man by the window.Brushing the fiery red phoenix petals all over the head and body, there happened to be a piece of lightly flying down the eyes of the still water, as if a little bright red was dotted in the middle, the moment he turned around and looked back, it was just like the phoenix flower supporting the birth. The gods, one glance can make people delusional.
