As for Xiuying, she had already dived to the abandoned water garden with Zhou Cheng according to Fu Shan's arrangement.

Although this water garden has been abandoned, its grand scale and perfect layout are second to none among so many lake gardens and water pavilions.This was originally the other garden of the old thousand-year-old Prince Yizhong. Since he committed a crime and was deposed and given to death, and his family was exiled, the lake garden here has been completely reduced to a paradise for aquatic plants and various wild fish. Even mosquitoes and cockroaches grow. fatter than elsewhere.

Climbing up the underwater stone steps covered with snails and mussels, water plants and moss were still growing in the cracks of the stone steps, slippery, when Xiuying finally showed her head, she took a deep breath, and she was still six feet away from the water surface. At the seven steps, perhaps because she had been swimming in the water for too long and because she was a little out of strength, she stepped on the air. Fu Shan and Liu Xianglian saw her smiling at them, but they fell headfirst. They ran over quickly, even though they couldn't swim, both of them came down the stone steps. Fu Shan stopped after walking a few steps, and only wet the hem of his clothes, because he found that Zhou Cheng who was behind immediately dived down. It's time to catch people.

Liu Xianglian was in a hurry, so she simply jumped off the stone platform above, forgetting that she could not swim at all, this jump sank like a stone anchor; Zhou Cheng just pulled Xiuying up, and saw Liu Xianglian went down again, so she had to go back to catch him.The man had heavy muscles and bones, and Zhou Cheng was too young, so he managed to lift Liu Xianglian up from the bottom of the water. On the stone platform was Fu Shan's helper. The two pushed and pulled Liu Xianglian up; although she fell into the water In a short period of time, Liu Xianglian drank a full stomach of water, coughed and retched, Fu Shan patted him on the back a few times, and he spat out several puddles of sewage before he managed to recover.

Seeing him in such a mess, Xuanying wanted to laugh, but she tried her best to hold back.Finally, she pretended to be calm and asked, "Well, are you okay?"

Liu Xianglian has always been a particular person in terms of appearance, but at this time she felt that she had made a big ugliness, and she was in front of Xiuying again, and she wished she could jump into the water again, so she just closed her eyes and didn't speak, and she lay on the ground without moving.Seeing this, Xiuying smiled, and stopped talking, sat aside calmly, squeezed the water on the gauze, and then said to Fu Shan: "Master, thank you for your help today, and brother Liu also fell into the water." ;There is something wrong here, my second sister and I are going back to Jinling first, do you want to go back with us?" Suddenly, she remembered that she hadn't seen her sister yet, so she hurriedly asked, "Where is my second sister? Is she okay?"

Because all her wet clothes were sticking to her body, Fu Shan didn't like her, so he looked at the dilapidated pavilion in the distance and said, "Your second sister is fine, she woke up a long time ago, and she is still on the boat, with Huanlian taking care of her." She. As for me, the matter is not over here, I'm afraid there will be some time here; if you want to go first, I can escort you."

"Then, shall we wait for Master? Anyway, it's been so long since I came out, and I'm not in a hurry. How many days does Master have?"

"There are about ten days left, can we wait?" Fu Shan asked patiently.

"No problem." Xuan Ying thought for a while, and said: "My sister and I will find a secluded place to live and wait for Master."

"If you say it's hidden, there's nothing better than here." Fu Shan smiled faintly and looked around.

It was only at this time that Xiu Ying carefully looked at the abandoned water garden, and saw that there were weeds and ruins everywhere, inside the dilapidated pavilions and water pavilions, even the auspicious beasts on the corners of the pavilions, and the gold powder engraved on the pillars were all carefully removed. A hundred steps away from the water pavilion, a banyan tree with a crooked neck grows very lushly, blocking her view.

"I often come here recently, but I feel that this old garden is not interesting. There are several courtyards in the front side, which are good. If you tidy it up, you can still live in it. Things are getting big now, let's wait and see what happens , to see how the Ningguo Mansion responds. If things go wrong, it’s not too late for you to leave.”

Xiuying hummed, and suddenly asked Liu Xianglian who was still lying on the ground: "What happened to Feng Ziying, have you found out?"

After asking this question, Liu Xianglian couldn't pretend anymore, so she had to sit up from the ground, "I read the letter you sent out several times; Feng Ziying is very successful, although I have a good relationship with him, But I haven't seen him for more than a year; I don't know what he is doing now and who he is with; coincidentally, when the three major battalions were performing a military exercise some time ago, I came here in person, and his uncle, the Marquis of Yongning His father was honored, and he was awarded the title of Jiaxing County Bo. At the same time, he was awarded the Jinyi Army Governor Qiu Wei and Jin Yong'an Marquis; while his father, General Shenwu, was reprimanded. At that time, everyone was surprised, and General Feng did not. What went wrong, and why did it come to this?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glanced at Xuanying, as if he was afraid that she would not understand or was not interested; but seeing that Xiuying listened very seriously, he continued, "The matter has to start from last year in Iron Net Mountain. Qiushou said that at that time, many of the sons of the princes followed the imperial guards; and on the third day of hunting, Feng Ziying and Qiu Wei's son Qiu Luan had a conflict. During the fight, Qiu Luan broke his left arm and couldn't bear it ever since However, Feng Ziying was almost disfigured by Qiu Luan's rabbit falcon with a wing on her face. The two were originally robes, but they had a grudge because of this; If you reprimand, anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened; I think this is the reason why he has been operating so frequently recently."

"But what's the point of him doing these things? Isn't that what the present meant when his father was reprimanded?" Xuanying asked puzzled.

"You don't understand." Fu Shan glanced at her, "General Feng Tang's house has always been very friendly with the four kings and eight princes. It is not an exaggeration to say that their relationship is intricate; , often do not think about making progress, but form cliques for selfish purposes, delusional to lie on the merits of their ancestors to become a salary beetle, I think, as long as there is a little truth-seeking and pragmatic heart today, he will never tolerate these people going on like this." Because I believe that Xiuying's insight is different from ordinary people, Fu Shan patiently explained to her.

"When Master said that, I understand," Xuanying thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Even if Concubine Jia has won the honor and favor, there is nothing to worry about. It is said that it is a concession made to temporarily appease these meritorious officials; if these people can't see the current situation clearly, and they are still so vain and extravagant, I think their good days will come to an end."

Fu Shan didn't expect her to be able to understand a little bit, so he nodded in appreciation, and said to Liu Xianglian: "You should learn more from your junior sister in the future."

Liu Xianglian was engrossed in listening to the two people talking, and when she saw the master talking about herself, she hurriedly said: "My disciples have remembered it." For Xuanying at this time, he felt a kind of sincere admiration; he didn't expect Well, this girl is not only shrewd in small things, but also unambiguous in big things. She can see things so thoroughly; even though she is a man, she is a few years older than her, and she can't see clearly.Thinking of this, he bowed his hands to Xuanying again, and said sincerely: "I will ask my junior sister to teach me a lot in the future."

"Don't dare." He stopped arguing with himself, and Xiuying was still a little unaccustomed to it for a while. She suddenly remembered something, so she asked him, "The last time I went back to Jinling, the night I just got home, I had a cold and a fever, and I was in a daze. , I seem to have heard someone say that they are going to splash cold water on my face," she said, looking at Liu Xianglian, "Is that you?"

"Uh..." Liu Xianglian was taken aback, then hesitated, "When did it happen? I don't remember, I, I never said such a thing!"

"A manly man, dare to act, admit what you say, what's the matter?" Fu Shan watched the excitement, and sold Liu Xianglian with a single sentence, "You said at the time that you were kind, Even if you're drunk to the point of mud, you won't be able to wake up if you splash it on your face like this."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Su Ying looked at Liu Xianglian with a smile, "That's right, what's the matter? Could it be that I still hate you because of this? I'm not a child, I let it go after the incident, I wouldn't be so fussy But then again, you don't want to see me so much, to the point of splashing water on my face, why?"

"I..." Liu Xianglian was speechless for a moment.What can he say?Said that he was impulsive and childish?Said that he said this on purpose to anger her?Doesn't this still seem childish?Now, seeing that she is so shy in discussing things, has a different perspective, is calm in dealing with things, and has means in dealing with things, such a woman is indeed not suitable for me; moreover, she once hated herself so much, so can I still get what I want? ?

However, I am not willing to give up on this; think about her, besides myself, it seems that there is no one else who understands her better than myself, tolerates her, and accepts her; for her, I can give up the carefree and wandering life For her, with my temperament, I would not hesitate to return to my big family, and began to learn to intrigue and intrigue; Earn a glory and decency; since all of these can be spared, what is there to be afraid of, what is there to be embarrassed about?

Thinking of this, he simply apologized to Xiuying, "Yes, I said so at the time, but my original intention was to wipe your face with cold water to try, not really to splash water on your face. I wanted to do that at the time, but it was not allowed in your shop, and the master and your family were not allowed." He said helplessly: "Junior sister, I beg you, don't hold on to this Don't let it go, I promise, there will be no such thing in the future!"

Now that he is so frank, Xiu Ying has nothing to say, but is very surprised why he has such a big change, so he just smiled and said: "Forget it, since you admit it, this matter is over, anyway, you Didn't really pour water on me." She stood up as she spoke, "Master, I don't know if my sister has come here too? I want to go and see her."

As soon as she stood up, her water-soaked clothes were tightly attached to her body, showing a graceful figure; Fu Shan Zhiju had already left in front, Zhou Cheng couldn't help looking at Xiuying, Liu Xianglian Subconsciously blocked his eyes, "Do not look at evil, don't look around, you know?"

After being reminded by him, Zhou Cheng also realized his gaffe, and hurriedly stepped aside; now that he is getting older, he also knows that he is different from the girl, so he dare not think about it anymore; Liu Xianglian hastily took off his clothes She wanted to put on her blouse, but she refused, "Your clothes were also soaked in water, I don't want them; besides, why should I wear your clothes?"

"You know why!" Liu Xianglian insisted on putting her clothes on her body, "You know, do you still have to tell me? Even if it's a piece of wood, you should know what I'm thinking about You, let alone you are so smart!" As he spoke, he even looked at her with a coquettish expression, "I asked Master to tell you, and I asked Yuan Xu to tell you, but you ignored them, and you still want to How about me?" A pair of beautiful eyes began to be a little misty, he was afraid that Xuan Ying would feel weak, so he turned his head away quickly, even though she was younger than him, but he always felt that in front of her, he was like a A quarrelsome child is the same as Zhou Cheng and Yuan Xu; however, he needs to prove that he is different from them, that he can protect her, respect her, and tolerate her; he is learning from the master, learning from the master Everything, also began to try to understand the master's feelings for his deceased wife.

He believes that in time, he will be able to do it. Even if he does not have the talent and insight of Master, he still needs to have the vision and mind of Master, as well as the determination to love only one person in his life.

"You, are you crying?" Xu Ying was originally a person who was soft but not strong. Looking at the end of his reddish eyes at this moment, something seemed to throb in her heart. It took a long time before her tone was complicated. asked.

"I, I didn't!" Liu Xianglian hastily denied, and quickly wiped her face with her sleeve.His clothes were already soaked, but after wiping them like this, his face was stained with water again, and his shiny black temple hair was sticking to his face with wetness. Coupled with his moist eyes, he looked even more handsome, elegant, and dust-free. Xuan Ying stared blankly, and her heartbeat seemed to speed up. It took a while for her to realize and walked forward quickly.

"Junior Sister Xuan!" Liu Xianglian hurriedly followed up, seeing Zhou Cheng following far behind, and the master came to the front again, he boldly asked her again, "Let's make an appointment, can we?"

"What kind of marriage? Whose marriage?" Xiuying couldn't help but wanted to laugh in her heart, but she asked the question knowingly; she didn't want to admit that she was a little bit moved by him!Although on the surface, I am younger than him, but only I know how much older I am psychologically, such a coquettish and beautiful boy, I can't help being tempted.

"You and me!" Liu Xianglian took a step forward and stopped in front of her, leaving all her pride behind, "I knew from the first time I saw you that you are different from others; I was ignorant at that time, and I had many misunderstandings with you, but then I figured it out, I like you, the more I understand you, the more I like you, and later on, no matter what I do, I think of you first, so I know, I can’t live without you for the rest of my life! Master has told me that if you recognize a person, you will live your whole life. Don’t have others in your heart and eyes. I told him, I can do it, and I will do it today. Dare to tell you!"

Although Xiuying was not really a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, she was still shocked by this confession. She remained silent for a long time; I was frightened, so I whispered again: "Don't be afraid, I'm only doing it for my heart! We've known each other for so long, you should know that I'm not the kind of sweet talker, if you don't believe me, just look at my future As! What I say now is just to reassure each other, don't worry, I don't want to impose my will on you, I just want you to see my heart. "

"I see." Xu Ying replied in a low voice, and continued to walk forward, "I heard from Master that what you have done in the past two years is very dangerous; you, you have to be careful. Her voice seemed to have a smile, "I don't want it to end before it even begins."

Liu Xianglian still stood at the same place, recalling what she said, finally came to her senses, and immediately became happy, "Okay, I will listen to you, I will be careful myself!" After speaking, he immediately followed.
