In the small building, Yun Miaoqing was half lying on the soft couch with a book in hand, and there was a fruit plate on the low table next to her, which contained freshly cut fruits.It is a kind of wild fruit called Chunguguo by the locals. It is the size of a fist. Its skin is bright red and translucent. When it is cut open, the inside is yellow-orange and orange-yellow.

There is another legend about this fruit.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, there lived a girl named □□gu in Bailu Mountain. The girl was disabled and not very good-looking, so she was ashamed to see people, lived alone on the mountain, and did not communicate with people down the mountain.

Once when she went to the city to sell mountain products, she met a handsome young man. Chun Gu fell in love with the young man at first sight, but she was too ashamed to strike up a conversation with him. Knowing that the young man liked the fruits she sold, she went to the forest to pick them every morning. The sweetest and best stay with the boy.

This fruit grows in spring, but it likes to be cloudy and cold, and it will disappear when the weather gets warmer.As the days gradually entered the summer, Chungu traveled all over the mountains and forests in search of this fruit, and finally accidentally slipped and fell off the cliff.

The boy hadn't seen the girl selling fruit for several days. Out of curiosity, he inquired about Bailu Mountain, and only then did he know that Chun Gu had an accident while picking fruit.Recalling Chungu's shy appearance when talking to him in the past, he finally understood Chungu's thoughts, but it was too late to regret, so he called this fruit Chungu fruit to commemorate the girl who sold the fruit .

Yun Miaoqing likes to read when she has nothing to do, and she reads a wide range of books, regardless of the subset of classics and history. After coming here, she has read the local chronicles and folklore.

"It's been a month, why does he come here every day?" Gingko leaned on the window and looked out. Outside the gate, the boy who bumped into his lady's car brought a new basket of Chungu fruit.

A month ago, that person brought fruit to the door for the first time, Yun Miaoqing took the fruit, left him a string of money, and put it outside the door together with the empty basket.The man came the next day and put down a basket full of fresh mountain goods, but did not take any money.So Yun Miaoqing didn't collect anything that day.The man came back on the third day and saw the untouched basket outside the door, probably understood what Yun Miaoqing meant, took the money and left, leaving the new basket behind.

Since then, the two seem to have reached a delicate agreement, and they have been trading silently for a while.

Yun Miaoqing didn't answer, and she didn't take her eyes off the book.

"Be courteous for nothing, rape or steal! Could this kid be thinking about our young lady's beauty? What do you think, Brother Wen?"

Ginkgo seemed to know that Yun Miaoqing would not answer her words, and turned her head to look at Wen Taicang who was sitting on the other side of the room.

Wen Taicang wiped his sword carefully and did not participate in the discussion of Ginkgo.

It didn't stop Gingko from muttering even if no one spoke to her. She turned her head and continued to stare at the figure of the people outside, whispering to herself: "I want to see when this little bastard shows his feet."

Yun Miaoqing just wanted to read a book in peace, but was interrupted several times, finally put down the book, followed Gingko's eyes and cast a glance out of the window.

"That's not a boy."

"What?" Ginkgo jumped up from the window in shock, "How is it possible, he...Although he was born a bit more delicate, he is clearly a man when he dresses and combs his hair."

"Whether you're a man or a woman can't just be based on how you dress." Yun Miaoqing couldn't read the book anyway, so she talked to Ginkgo, "Men and women have different body shapes, and secondly, their walking, sitting, and lying postures are also slightly different. , Without special camouflage training, it is difficult to fool experienced people."

"What's the difference?" Ginkgo became more and more curious when she heard it, and when a servant passed by in the corridor outside, she called out to stop him.

"Ah Liang, come here." She beckoned people to come closer, directed them to walk around the room a few times with a serious face, and made people sit down and jump up again.

"I don't see any difference. I see that the movements are similar to those of Azhu Xiaohe and the others." After dismissing the bewildered A Liang, Ginkgo looked at Wen Taicang with her chin in her hands, "Wen Brother, do you see any difference between his walk and the woman's walk?"

Wen Taicang didn't raise his eyes the whole time, and kept focusing on his sword: "I never stare at other girls."

Ginkgo: "..." All right, she thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she rushed out to call Ah Liang who hadn't gone far.

"Ah Liang, come back, I'll borrow Xiao He's clothes for you and try on."

I didn't see the clue just now, it must be because A Liang's clothes are different from Xiao He's and the others. Wouldn't it be more realistic to change into the same clothes and make the same dress?

A Liang looked at Gingko in horror, he was just passing by to water the flowers, why did he still wear girl's clothes and pretend to be a girl?Ginkgo was afraid that the man would run away, so she stepped forward and grabbed him and dragged him into the house.

Although everyone is a servant, but in terms of rank, a personal maid like Ginkgo is superior to A Liang. A Liang dare not resist, so he can only ask Yun Miaoqing for help with pitiful eyes.

"Okay, go do your work, don't listen to Gingko's nonsense."

With Yun Miaoqing's words, Ah Liang was amnesty, broke away from Ginkgo's hand, and ran away quickly.

"As for it, I'm not a man-eating tiger." Ginkgo sat back beside Yun Miaoqing resentfully, and took a piece of Chungu fruit.She really didn't see that the person was a girl at all, but when her own lady made a mistake, if the lady said it was, then let her be her.

"Miss, you said that since this person is a woman, she didn't want to show off your talent and appearance, what kind of idea did she have? The money we gave her was about the same as her going to the town to sell things, so why did she still rely on us? On the second mountain, she obviously had the upper hand, as soon as she saw us, she immediately pretended to be pinched by others. Besides, why do good-looking girls keep pretending to be boys? I think she must have bad intentions, she can’t be some kind of spy, right? "

Ginkgo kept asking questions one after another, and Yun Miaoqing tapped her head with the book: "Where are there so many 'hows' and 'what's? I can only think about it every day."

It was Wen Taicang who put down his sword when he heard Ginkgo's question: "I've been asking about this person these days. His name is Huo Lan. He used to live in Liuhe Village. She had no father since she was a child, and lived with her mother at her uncle's house. It is said that her mother is crazy. , and an unmarried child, the villagers don't want to see their mother and son. She has never left this area since she was a child, so she shouldn't have anything to do with those people in the capital."

Seeing that she had guessed wrong, Ginkgo curled her lips, only to hear Tai Cang say again: "I also heard that her mother died when she was eight years old, and her uncle's family treated her very harshly. Last month she had a quarrel with her uncle's family." After a while, I left from there and lived on Bailu Mountain. The group of children we met before seemed to always bully her..."

Ginkgo often listens to stories about Jianghu, and she is the most chivalrous. After hearing about Huo Lan's life experience, she forgot that she was still suspicious that he was not a good person just a moment ago.

"This is too miserable. No wonder she always comes here. It turns out that no one treats her well. It's really pitiful." She squatted beside Yun Miaoqing and shook Yun Miaoqing's arm slightly, "Miss, how about Let's take her in. How dangerous it is for a girl to live in the mountains by herself, what if she is taken away by wild animals?"

"Have you forgotten what I told you?" Yun Miaoqing was unmoved.

"Of course I remember," Ginkgo recited what Yun Miaoqing said on the way to Beijing, "'Even if you come here, don't take it lightly, you should live in seclusion, keep everything simple, and keep less contact with people', right?"

Yun Miaoqing's father, Yun Zhimiao, was an official in the court for many years before his death. Asking Fu Ling to go back to his hometown for burial was full of twists and turns. In the end, the person on the dragon chair only agreed to Yun Miaoqing to leave Beijing alone, and Yun Shujian, the older brother who said that the important task of the court could not be delayed, and refused to let Yun Miaoqing go, was detained on the grounds that the Queen Mother was reluctant. Xia Yun Miaoqing's mother Xu Muzhen.

How could Yun Miaoqing let Yun Miaoqing leave her eyeliner?Yun Miaoqing knew that someone would report her every move in the countryside to the person on the dragon chair, so she was extra cautious. She even stayed on the mountain for three days after the burial, fearing that too many people who came to pay homage would cause His Majesty the Emperor suspicion.

"But didn't Brother Wen say that just now, she is just a country girl, so maybe someone will take care of us if we take in a maid." Ginkgo glanced at the Chungu fruit in the fruit plate next to her from the corner of her eyes, and said, "Think about it." People, is she very similar to Chungu in that story? She lives on Bailu Mountain, picks wild fruit mountain products and sends them to us every day, hoping that we can take her in, but what happened? You don’t even see her face to face. Yes. Well, speaking of it, she is worse than Aunt Chun. At any rate, Aunt Chun still meets the people she likes every time she goes to the city to sell things..."

Ginkgo spoke very into the play, wishing to shed two tears to meet the occasion.Yun Miaoqing almost made her laugh: "Why do you sound so awkward to me? It's like I'm some kind of scumbag with a small heart."

"Isn't it?" Yun Miaoqing never used her identity as the master to suppress Ginkgo, and as time passed, Ginkgo was not afraid to play with her, and continued to scold her: "Look at this Chungu fruit, is it better than we used to be in town?" Sweets bought online? If you want me to tell you, maybe she is just like Chun Gu, who will keep the best for you! If she ends up with something unexpected for picking fruit like Chun Gu, you won’t regret it!"

"It's just a legend, so it can't be true. Since Gu Chun lived alone on the mountain, how could anyone know that she was dead." Yun Miaoqing retorted.

"It's said that you're serious, don't you have the energy." Ginkgo saw that she couldn't talk to Yun Miaoqing alone, so she called for a helper, "Brother Wen, help me persuade me too!"

"One more thing is worse than one less thing. We are not in a good situation, and it may not be good for her to take her in." Wen Taicang agreed with Yun Miaoqing.

"Brother Wen!" Seeing that Tai Cang refused to help her, Ginkgo shouted dissatisfied.

Wen Taicang ignored Ginkgo's pestering, but Ginkgo's words reminded him of something, and he said to Yun Miaoqing: "But there is one thing, the children and women in the village have finished picking all the places where the terrain is flat and easy to pick. The places to go are very steep, and there seem to be wild boars in that area."

When Ginkgo heard this, she hurriedly said: "Do you see that I am wrong, 'the terrain is steep', 'there are wild boars', isn't it life-threatening?"

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to the Chungu fruit on the plate.

"Just eat a piece, it was given to me!" Yun Miaoqing gave up all the books, took the plate away with both hands, poked a slice with a bamboo stick, and looked out the window.

The people outside the gate had left long ago, leaving only a basket of fresh Chungu fruit, shining brightly in the morning sun with the water drops remaining on it after washing.

"Look at her recently, don't tell her what happened."

Wen Taicang responded to Yun Miaoqing's words in a low voice.

Yun Miaoqing withdrew her gaze and looked at the Chungu fruit in her hand.Aunt Chun?She said silently in her heart.
