"What took you so long?" Seeing Lin San and Huan 'er frolicking over from afar, the young lady hurriedly went up to them and said angrily, "Everyone else is so busy that they feel dizzy, but you are the most free."
"Seriously injured people should be taken care of." Lin Wanrong smiled and looked Xiao Yuruo up and down. He sincerely praised, "Grand Mistress, you are so beautiful today."
Xiao Yuruo was happy to hear that. She said with a dizzy face, "Who asked you to be so glib? You are so late. Just now, Sister Xu invited me to go in to enjoy the flowers. Seeing that you did not come, I had to give up. "
Grand Mistress was a workaholic. She was usually busy with business and would never have time to think about these things. But now was different. She already had someone in her heart, and she was also a young and beautiful woman. She naturally yearned for such a beautiful thing in front of flowers and under the moonlight. In addition, today's promotion was a great success. So what if she went in to enjoy the flowers as a reward?
She had this thought in her mind, but she was too embarrassed to voice it out. Seeing Lin San's cheeky face, she couldn't help but snort inwardly, "This damned man, at times like this, where did his usual quick-wittedness go?
Lin Wanrong had good eyesight. Seeing Grand Mistress's bashful expression and her eyes glancing into the Xiangguo Temple from time to time, how could he not understand, but he was secretly amused. It was really spring. Even Grand Mistress began to think of love.
He laughed and said, "Auntie Song, you help take care of the distribution of gifts. Grand Mistress and I will go into the temple for a walk. Don't get me wrong, we are going in to see if there are any big customers we can connect with. Alas, it is such a grand event, but I am only thinking about work. I am really loyal and virtuous, a model of the world. "
"Go," Auntie Song said with a smile, "I will take care of here. You and Grand Mistress have fun. These days, she is very busy. "
During the Incense Tasting Assembly, Lin Wanrong was only responsible for coming up with ideas and moving his lips. Although it was very technical, the rest of the trivial matters were all handled by Grand Mistress and Auntie Song. The Grand Mistress was very busy because she had no experience in such a large-scale promotion and had to prepare a lot of things.
Xiao Yuruo blushed and argued, "It's Lin San who wants to be lazy. I don't want to go. Hey, don't pull me."
Auntie Song looked at the two of them and couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. She hoped that Lin San and the Grand Mistress would have a good ending. As soon as the two of them entered Xiangguo Temple, they felt a burst of warmth on their faces. The temple was bustling with tourists, and it was even livelier than the outside of the temple. Lin Wanrong felt strange. Was the Xiangguo Temple's Flower Viewing Assembly so charming? Why did it feel like the entire capital was here?
Seeing Grand Mistress's slightly red face, Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Is there a stove in the temple? Why is it warmer than outside?"
Grand Mistress looked at him with amusement, "You are usually very smart and clear about everything. How can you not know this? There is a large hot spring in the mountain behind Xiangguo Temple. The climate is comfortable, and it is like spring all year round. The garden in the temple is irrigated by the hot spring, and in early spring, hundreds of flowers will bloom. It is a spectacular sight. This is the origin of the Xiangguo Temple's Flower Viewing Assembly. Otherwise, where would you go to enjoy the beautiful scenery at this time of the year? "
So that's how it is. Lin Wanrong chuckled. No wonder the Flower Viewing Assembly was so popular. It turned out that this was the capital's first spring. However, the hot spring in a monk's temple was a waste. If it was in the Xiao Family's courtyard, I would invent some bikinis and thongs. Every day, I would play with the two ladies. How beautiful would that be?
…
Xiangguo Temple had a long history. Because of the unique hot spring climate, the temple's back garden was even more famous.
Ever since the two of them met, they had never had such a relaxed time together. They strolled around the temple, unrestrained, and talked about mushy things that made Grand Mistress's heart jump. Xiao Yuruo blushed and her heart beat wildly. She wanted to scold him, but her eyes were full of tenderness.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they arrived at the back garden. Before they got close, a faint and refreshing cold fragrance drifted over.
Lin Wanrong looked up and saw a round arched door in front of him. In the middle of the door, there were two large words — Plum Garden.
Seeing him in a daze, Grand Mistress laughed. "You don't know again? The Xiangguo Temple is divided according to the flowers. The most famous are the Plum Garden, Peach Garden, Orchid Garden, and Peony Garden. This is only the first one. "
The Plum Garden was the head of the Four Gentlemen. It was known for being noble and elegant. It was the first choice for scholars to admire flowers. After passing through the door, the two of them entered a sea of plum blossoms.
The plum blossoms on the branches were red like fire, white like snow, and pink like clouds. The fragrance of flowers was everywhere. It was a riot of colors, and it was a beautiful sight. The garden was full of people and beautiful figures shuttled back and forth. It was very lively.
Grand Mistress's face was full of joy. She cried out in surprise. Twisting her delicate body, she rushed into the fallen flowers. The plum blossoms reflected on her beautiful cheeks, making her look incomparably charming.
The usually serious Grand Mistress rarely revealed such a sweet smile like that of a little girl. Lin Wanrong's heart warmed. He hurriedly chased after her and said with a smile, "Grand Mistress, since you're in such a good mood, why don't we play a flower picking game?"
"What flower picking game?" Grand Mistress stopped and asked curiously.
"This flower picking game is very simple. Do you see the tallest plum blossom on this tree? Either I hug you and pluck that flower, or you hug me and pluck it. How about it? Isn't it very simple? "
"You scoundrel, don't you have any other thoughts in your head?" Grand Mistress snorted shyly, and a blush appeared on her face. Listening to him talk nonsense every day had long become immune to it. It had even become a habit. If she didn't listen to him talk for a day, she would feel uncomfortable.
Grand Mistress supported herself on a plum blossom tree in front of her. She saw that the tree trunk was dry and twisted as it spiraled upwards. The pink flowers were stained with water droplets, as if they had just received the first rain. It was extraordinarily beautiful. She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pluck a plum blossom. She held it in her hand and softly recited, "Plum blossom plum blossom to meet the courier, to send it to the head of Long Tou. There is nothing in Jiangnan, to send a branch of spring. "
"So wet, so wet, really very wet." Lin Wanrong clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Grand Mistress, are you missing Jinling? When the weather warms up tomorrow, I'll bring Madam to the capital to fulfill Grand Mistress's longing. "
Grand Mistress glanced at him and said with a smile, "I'm just casually doing it. It's not a good poem, but you're the best at talking. If you say it's a good poem, then you should also compose a plum blossom poem for me to listen to. "
"Plum blossom, that's easy. Not only can I compose plum blossom poems, but I can also compose apricot blossom poems. Do you believe me?" Lin Wanrong said with a smile.
"You're not good at anything else, but bragging is the best in the world." Grand Mistress covered her mouth as she laughed. Her body trembled like a flower branch. That alluring charm actually surpassed all the flowers in the garden.
Seeing her pink face and rosy cheeks, full of love, Lin Wanrong's heart warmed. He pulled her little hand and coquettishly said in her ear, "Why (lotus) get (lotus), lucky (apricot) don't need (plum) matchmaker. Grand Mistress, is this poem good? "
This scoundrel. Grand Mistress's heart was filled with sweetness. She lightly hummed and hurriedly lowered her head. The pink smear on her face made the red plum blossom on the branch pale in comparison.
"Xiao Family younger sister, Xiao Family younger sister." A female voice rang out. Grand Mistress was shocked and hurriedly shook off Lin San's big hand.
Under the plum blossom tree, a pretty figure flashed and pulled Xiao Yuruo. She smiled and said, "What's wrong? Waiting for your family's Lin San?"
Xiao Yuruo's face was blushing. She didn't know if the two of them had been seen by her. She hurriedly said, "Sister Xu, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
Lin Wanrong didn't know where this Xu Zhiqing came from to ruin the relationship between him and Grand Mistress. Lin Wanrong was furious, but seeing her talking to the Grand Mistress so intimately, he couldn't act up. He could only endure it.
"Sister Xu, have you all swum through the garden?" Xiao Yuruo felt guilty and asked to divert Xu Zhiqing's attention.
"I just came in. Brother Ye and Brother Tian saw how exquisite and elegant the plum blossom garden is, so they were having a poetry competition. I found it boring, so I came to talk to you. "Xu Zhiqing smiled faintly.
Lin Wanrong found it strange. Wasn't this Xu Zhiqing omnipotent? How come Brother Ye and Brother Tian's poetry competition was boring?
As they were talking, Ye Yuchuan and Tian Wenjing walked over. When Tian Wenjing saw the Grand Mistress, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Lady Xiao, you came at the right time. Brother Ye and I are having a plum blossom poetry competition. I'd like to invite the Grand Mistress to be the judge."
Grand Mistress frowned and didn't know what to say. Lin Wanrong, on the other hand, knew that this wasn't a poetry competition. He was clearly showing off in front of the Grand Mistress.
"There's only the west wind when there's the east wind. Ye Kong in the mountains of trees. Only the plum blossoms blow endlessly, still the new white embraces the new red. This is the new poem that I just composed. Miss Xiao, please have a look. " Tian Wenjing didn't wait for the Grand Mistress to speak and hurriedly recited the poem. He looked eagerly at the Grand Mistress, hoping to get a hint of approval.
Ye Yuchuan also looked at Xu Zhiqing and said with a smile, "The people of the fragrant country come and go, the birds hang upside down in the wind. I like the reflection of the water and the light, the slanting shadow carries the waves. "
Lin Wanrong saw the expressions of the two young masters. The one with the surname Tian was obviously pursuing the Grand Mistress, and the one with the surname Ye was also interested in Xu Zhiqing. Alright, there's nothing for me to do anymore. He suddenly laughed and said, "What a wet poem, better than drinking wine. So wet, so wet!"
Young master Tian was defeated by him that day. Upon hearing this, he immediately glared at him fiercely. Young master Ye, on the other hand, was obviously a cut above him. He only glanced at him lightly and smiled without saying a word.
The Grand Mistress smiled and said, "The two young masters are highly talented. I admit that I'm not as good as them. There's no need to comment on this poem. " She rejected it with just one sentence. A deep disappointment flashed in Tian Wenjing's eyes. Ye Yuchuan, however, looked at Miss Xu expectantly.
By right, the two young masters' poems about appreciating plum blossoms were not bad. A talented woman like Xu Zhiqing should be praising them. Unexpectedly, she slightly shook her head and said, "Brother Ye, Brother Tian, it's not that your poems are not good. When it comes to describing scenery, these two poems are the best. It's just that the ancients have said that literature is a representation of Dao and poetry is a representation of one's aspirations. These two poems were written for the occasion. When it comes to artistic conception, it's still lacking. "
So that's how it is. Lin Wanrong nodded. This Miss Xu herself had "depth". Of course, she liked people with depth. Unfortunately, no matter how much he studied, he could not compare to her depth. Lin Wanrong chuckled and looked at Miss Xu's body. His eyes were filled with lust.
Xu Zhiqing's words were straightforward, but the two young masters were not annoyed. They only deeply bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss Xu. Yuchuan (Wenjing) has benefited a lot."
Xiao Yuruo saw that the two young masters were so respectful towards Xu Zhiqing. She mischievously smiled and said, "Sister Xu, since you're in the mood, why don't you compose a plum blossom poem as well? Let me see what it means to have both scenery and artistic conception."
"That's right, that's right." Tian Wenjing clapped his hands and walked to the side of the Grand Mistress. He said, "What Miss Xiao said is exactly what Wenjing wishes."
Wish, wish, wish your ass. Seeing that Tian Wenjing was so close to the Grand Mistress, Lin Wanrong's heart was filled with anger. In a flash, he stood in front of the Grand Mistress. He smiled at Tian Wenjing and said, "Brother Tian's wish is also my wish. Brother Tian, we haven't seen each other for a few days. How are you? How's your little brother? How's Old Madam and Second Mistress? "
This guy actually knows how to be jealous. The Grand Mistress felt sweet and funny at the same time. But she obediently hid behind him and let him shield her from the wind and rain. Her heart was filled with tenderness.
Tian Wenjing snorted and did not bother to answer him. Xu Zhiqing took a few steps and slowly recited, "Stay at the end of the world, lean toward the beauty of things. Winter plum blossoms are the most hateful, often used as last year's flower. "These lines were dark and gloomy, but it was borrowing things to grieve. It was perfect for Xu Zhiqing.
Writing a poem in seven steps, this girl really had some talent. Thinking of her quick thinking when learning Arabic numerals, Lin Wanrong had to admit that there really were geniuses in this world.
"Good poem!" Master Tian and Master Ye shouted at the same time. Their faces were full of admiration. Xiao Yuruo held Xu Zhiqing's hand and said, "Sister, you know everything about heaven and earth. You are full of knowledge and are like a high mountain. I really admire you."
Xu Zhiqing sighed and said, "Sister, please don't laugh at me. This matter of poetry is the flower of prosperity. It is only used to entertain others and oneself. If it flourishes in troubled times, it will bring disaster to the country and the people. "
"Well said!" Lin Wanrong gave a thumbs up and praised. This girl's point of view is the same as mine. He suddenly remembered the debate he had with Qing Xuan when they first met. Singing songs in troubled times is not the people's fault, but the country's fault.
Master Ye and Master Tian naturally understood Miss Xu's meaning. They did not dare to refute Miss Xu, but when they saw Lin San speak, they could not hold it in anymore. Tian Wenjing glared at Lin Wanrong and scoffed, "This is not a place for you to interrupt. Quickly get lost."
Before Lin Wanrong could speak, Grand Mistress angrily said, "Master Tian, my family's Lin San is speaking. It is not your place to interrupt."
Master Tian was stunned. Grand Mistress blushed. Seeing Lin San smiling at her, she stretched out her small hand and pinched his arm.
Xu Zhiqing curiously looked at Lin Wanrong and smiled, "I see. Sister from the Xiao Family, you really have a unique eye. Lin San, other than guessing and calculating, you actually have such a trick up your sleeve. I have underestimated you. "
'F * ck, I have a lot of tricks up my sleeves. Do you want to have a taste of all of them?' Lin Wanrong snorted inwardly. However, the Young Miss' protection made him feel good from head to toe.
Tian Wenjing's expression changed. Without caring about his demeanor, he flicked his sleeves and left. Ye Yuchuan pulled him a few times but to no avail. He could only helplessly look at Xu Zhiqing and said, "Miss Xu, Brother Tian, he …"
Xu Zhiqing smiled nonchalantly, "So be it. Brother Tian, it's not the behavior of a gentleman to argue with others like this. But … "She looked at Lin Wanrong and smiled," Lin San, Lady Xiao is taking care of you. Shouldn't you show some appreciation? I won't make things difficult for you. Since it's Ode to Plum Blossoms, you should compose a poem as thanks for the Xiao Family's appreciation. "
"Compose? I don't know how to. " Lin Wanrong humbly said. Grand Mistress glared at him. You won the Jinling Poetry Competition for Luo Ning, but you can't compose a poem for me? A bowl of water must be treated equally!
Xu Zhiqing did not say anything. She smiled at Grand Mistress, waiting to see how she would handle it. Xiao Yuruo was furious, but her face was flushed. She angrily stomped her feet and snorted.
Sigh, this was a tigress that loved to be jealous. Lin Wanrong giggled and pointed at Miss Xu and Xiao Yuruo. She smiled and said, "As far as the eye can see, beauties are everywhere.
Ye Yuchuan almost laughed out loud. What kind of poem was this? It was bullsh * t. How did this kid get Miss Xu's riddles right? The Eldest Miss was also feeling apprehensive. Did this scoundrel suddenly become stupid?
"Red lips and cheeks …" Lin Wanrong pointed at Xiao Yuruo and Xu Zhiqing's blushing cheeks and smiled, "… are plum blossoms."
Dead people always like to play tricks. It scared the hell out of me. Grand Mistress was embarrassed, but she was pleasantly surprised. The first three lines of the poem were trash, but the last line turned trash into gold. It was the perfect finishing touch.
Xu Zhiqing smiled faintly. Although the poem was interesting, it was just a play. It was far from the realm of poetry expressing one's will. Did Lin San only have this ability?
Seeing the light smile at the corner of her mouth, Lin Wanrong naturally knew that she was being looked down upon. Damn it, if I want to be lewd, even ten of you won't be able to resist me. One day, you'll know. He did not try to explain himself. He made a victory sign to Grand Mistress and secretly blew a kiss.
Although Xu Zhiqing was a woman, she had the air of a general. Her indifferent attitude towards life was something that even a man could not learn. After Tian Wen Jing, there were two men and two women left. Lin Wanrong obediently walked beside Grand Mistress. Thinking of Xiao Yuruo's affection just now, he couldn't help but whisper in her ear, "Grand Mistress, when we go back tonight, I will make your hand wet, hehe."
There was an endless stream of people admiring the flowers in the garden. Xu Zhiqing and Grand Mistress did not seem to be affected by Tian Wen Jing's matter. The two held hands and strolled through the plum garden and then the peach garden. They looked like a pair of sisters.
After a few steps in the peach garden, the two women were talking when they heard a burst of laughter from outside the garden. A tall and sturdy figure, surrounded by the crowd, slowly walked in.
"Cheng Wang!" Xu Zhiqing frowned and said softly. Lin Wanrong quickly turned his head to look. He saw this person with long eyebrows and wide eyes. He had a majestic physique. It was Cheng Wang Ye that he had seen from afar.
