my lord is sick

What Xie Yan was worried about didn't happen, Liu Wen was the one who provoked him first, and after being told a meal, he couldn't stand it and went home crying. At most, Liu's family complained in their hearts that Xie Yan didn't know how to pity and cherish jade, and regretted that there was no hope of getting married. I really dare not come to the door to make a theory, so this matter just passed.

On this day, Xie Yan received a post from Li Wenhua, inviting him to play in the Pearl Garden on the outskirts of Kyoto.Xiao Chengzhou also had a copy of this post. Recently, Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou were together every day. It is fine to notify him of a post, but in order to show the importance he attaches to Xie Yan, Li Wenhua specially sent an invitation to Xie Yan.

Pearl Garden is actually a vineyard. The grapes are called "Crystal Pearl". The owner of the vineyard is elegant, so it is named Mingzhu Garden.Li Wenhua posted the post, saying, the grapes are ripe, let's go pick the grapes!

Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou went there happily.

In summer, Pearl Garden has always been a place for recreation that elegant people in Kyoto like to go to.The Pearl Garden is quite large, with many small courtyards separated by bluestone walls. There are tall grape trellises above the courtyards. Under the grape trellises, there are three or two tables and chairs in the bluestone-paved courtyard It is also a kind of enjoyment to invite three or two friends to have an ice bowl, or make a bowl of tea, and sit for a while under the fine sunshine from the grape leaves.

If you get tired of sitting, you can also go to the grape field at the back, take a fruit basket, and pick a few bunches of grapes by yourself, which is an interesting experience.

Xie Yan also goes to the Pearl Garden several times a year, but they can't sit still, so such a quiet and leisurely way of playing is not suitable for him and Zheng Peng. The servant quickly sent it back, so that the elders at home who were not suitable for going out could eat fresh grapes.

When Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou arrived at Pearl Garden, Li Wenhua had already booked a small yard to wait for them.

The weather is not very hot today, the sun hides behind the clouds and does not show up for a long time, with a slight breeze blowing, sitting under the grape trellis, it is very cool.

Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou sat down, and saw Li Wenhua push him a glass of red liquid that smelled of wine, with a wretched smile on his face, "Xie Xiaoyan, try it, this is the wine from Pearl Garden, and the peach blossom wine from Xianzuifang is the same as the one from Kyoto." It’s the best wine in the city.”

Xie Yan stretched out a finger and pushed the wine glass back, "It's so delicious, Brother Li, you're welcome, you should drink it."

With a smile on the corner of Xiao Chengzhou's mouth, he glanced at Li Wenhua, obviously looking at him with a look that would make people feel like a spring breeze, but for no reason it made Li Wenhua shiver in the summer.Li Wenhua chuckled, "I'm joking with Xie Xiaoyan, this wine is made by the family, not Yuzi wine."

The so-called Yuzi wine is a special wine of Mingzhu Garden. When making wine, girls step on it with their feet.It was originally used to celebrate the grape harvest, but it gradually changed its taste. According to some people, the wine produced in this way has a particularly different taste, so it is called Yuzi wine by them.There are not many Yuzi wines produced in Pearl Garden every year, but there are quite a lot of people who like to drink them.But this kind of wine, he wouldn't drink Xie Yan even if he was killed.

Moreover, after Taohua Nian's drunkenness, Xie Yan made up his mind that as long as he was with Xiao Chengzhou, he would not drink if he could.Therefore, he obediently took the ice bowl delivered to the small courtyard, and ate it in small bites.

The frozen grapes in the ice bowl taste rusty, and Xie Yan likes to eat them the most.

Xiao Chengzhou saw that he picked out the grapes first and ate them, so he pushed his share over, but he still said: "It's not good to eat too much ice, finish the grapes, and don't move the rest."

With a grape in his mouth, Xie Yan nodded obediently.After there were no more grapes left in the two bowls, Xie Yan put down the spoon obediently.

Li Wenhua pushed his own bowl over, and tentatively said: "I still have some here, if you like it, you can eat it too."

Xie Yan shook his head and rubbed his stomach, "Enough, it's not good to eat too much ice."

Xiao Chengzhou raised the corner of his mouth.

Li Wenhua was speechless, he didn't understand, Xiao Chengzhou and Xie Yan had known each other for less than a month, they cared about everything and obeyed everything, how could it be like this in such a short period of time?

Thinking like this, Li Wenhua unknowingly drank the glass of wine. Looking at the empty glass, Li Wenhua thought of the famous Yuzi wine, and suddenly felt weird, so he hurriedly pushed the glass aside.

"Thank you Brother Li for the previous matter." Xie Yan said suddenly.

What he was talking about was about Xie Miao. If Li Wenhua hadn't led the way, most people's eyes would have been on Xie Miao when it came to the divorce.

Li Wenhua said: "A little matter, Xie Xiaoyan, you are too polite."

The Li family members are all very talkative, and they have never been afraid of anyone when it comes to talking and public opinion.It's really easy to solve a mere Fan Junyuan.But in private, Xiao Chengzhou told him to handle it well, so he didn't care much at the time, so he didn't dare to be careless, and seriously mixed among those literati, teahouses, restaurants and storytelling places. Gossip about Xie Miao can be found everywhere.

Xie Yan guessed that Li Wenhua didn't really ask them out to eat grapes, so he kindly offered to make room for the two of them, saying that he was going to the grape field behind to pick some grapes for his grandmother to send back.

Xiao Chengzhou stood up, smiled and said, "Let's go together."

Xie Yan couldn't say anything, so he took the fruit basket and scissors, and the three of them went to the grape field.But Xie Yan deliberately quickened his pace, letting Xiao Chengzhou and Li Wenhua walk behind.Xiao Chengzhou didn't catch up, and followed slowly, only telling Xie Yan to slow down when using the scissors, so as not to hurt his hands.

Xie Yan complied, and carefully picked up the grapes.

Looking at Xie Yan who was shuttling through the grape fields, Xiao Chengzhou had a faint smile in his eyes.

Li Wenhua glanced at Xie Yan, not understanding what Xiao Chengzhou was thinking at this moment, so he only talked about the business: "Two days ago at the Princess's mansion, the prince didn't see the woman he likes?"

Xiao Chengzhou's eyes followed Xie Yan in front of him all the time, as if he didn't listen to Li Wenhua's words at all.

Li Wenhua knew that Xiao Chengzhou in private was not as ready to answer questions as he was in front of outsiders, so he didn't bother to whet his appetite, and said directly: "I heard that the empress wants to point out a girl from the mother's family to you as a princess. Is there any question on the emperor's side?" No, no nodding. What do you think?"

Xiao Chengzhou spoke now, and his tone was so faint that he couldn't tell his emotions, "The empress has become more and more aggressive in recent years."

"After all, King Hui is approaching his thirtieth year." Li Wenhua said, "The emperor has not appointed a crown prince for a long time. Now that the four princes have grown up, the longer the delay, the more variables there will be. It is normal for the empress to be anxious."

He lowered his voice and said cryptically: "As soon as the result of the corruption case comes out, I'm afraid King Hui will jump over the wall in a hurry."

Xiao Chengzhou smiled lightly, and suddenly his expression changed, and he took a few steps forward.

"Hey..." The serious atmosphere disappeared, and Li Wenhua opened his mouth silently, shaking his head helplessly.

Xie Yan got off the stool, was supported by his servants to stand firm, and patted his chest in fear. Just now he was standing on the stool to pick the top grapes, he shook and almost fell off.With someone holding his shoulders, Xie Yan turned his head and saw Xiao Chengzhou coming over at some time.

Xiao Chengzhou frowned, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, it's okay." Xie Yan smiled.

Xiao Chengzhou looked down at the fruit basket on the ground, saw that there was already a lot of it, took the dangerous scissors in his hand and handed them to the servants, and pulled Xie Yan to stand aside, "I think you picked almost the same, let the rest Let them take it off."

Xie Yan didn't have to do it himself, seeing that the two of them seemed to have finished their conversation, he agreed, and he brought a bunch of grapes from the fruit basket like a treasure, and said to Xiao Chengzhou: "Brother Zhou, this is something I specially made for you." You picked them, you can see that these grapes are well-proportioned, big and round, so red and black, they must be very sweet, and they will be washed and eaten later!"

Xiao Chengzhou picked off the grape leaves that suddenly fell on Xie Yan's head, rubbed his head casually, and replied with a happy expression: "Ah Yan has a heart."

It was originally a scene of brothers and sisters respecting each other, but it fell into Li Wenhua's eyes for some reason, and it read out two points. Li Wenhua thought it must be because of the glass of wine he just drank.

Handing over the responsibility of picking grapes to his servants, Xie Yan personally returned to the small courtyard with the bunch of grapes and Xiao Chengzhou and the others.

When they left just now, the small courtyard next door was still very quiet. When they came back now, it was noisy inside, and I don't know how many people stayed there.Entering the small courtyard, Xie Yan took the grapes and cut them off one by one with scissors, washed them one by one, put them on a plate, and served them on the table.

Xiao Chengzhou picked one up and fed it into his mouth, then said: "It's really delicious."

Xie Yan wiped the water off his hands with a silk handkerchief, and said triumphantly, "I don't want to see who picked it."

Li Wenhua stretched out his hand and said in his mouth: "I will try too..." Taste.

Xiao Chengzhou stretched out his hand and swiped the plate towards him, without looking at Li Wenhua, he slowly ate the grapes on the plate with his eyes lowered.Li Wenhua still maintained the posture of reaching out his hand casually, but his fingertips were trembling slightly, with a shocked expression on his face.

Lord!Isn't it just a bunch of grapes, you can't suddenly turn into a childish child just because the person who picked it was Xie Yan, and started eating it!Is this still the Cheng Wang Xiao Chengzhou he knew? !

Xie Yan just turned around and handed the silk to the servant next to him, so he didn't see the scene just now.He turned his head, saw Li Wenhua's posture, and became vigilant.Slowly pushed Li Wenhua's hand away, and asked the servant to hand a plate of grapes to Li Wenhua, "Brother Li, I picked that one for Brother Zhou, you can't eat it! This bunch looks good, I washed it clean ,you eat."

Li Wenhua was filled with grief and indignation, he was also a "brother", so there was no need to treat him differently!He could have seen it just now, Xie Yan directly pulled off the plates one by one with his hands, with rough and perfunctory movements, completely different from those carefully cut out one by one with scissors!

Xie Yan and Xiao Chengzhou ate a plate of grapes together, and Li Wenhua ate a plate by himself, but he didn't feel any joy in his heart. His face was numb, and he felt that no matter how sweet the grapes were, they couldn't soothe his wounded heart!

"Bang" sound!

A sudden loud noise next door alarmed the three people in the yard.

Someone next door exclaimed loudly: "No, Brother Fan was beaten with a sack on the way here!"

The author has something to say:

Sack: I finally have a name.
