In the south of the Yangtze River, there are ten miles of lotus fragrance and three autumn osmanthus seeds. There are tides, flat rivers and fresh green mountains.

Around Qingming is the peony season.

In the peony garden in front of the peony building, there are large pink and white peonies intertwined, and there are also flowery female relatives that make people's eyes shine.

Duan Xiaolou held a folding fan that had just been painted with peonies in his hand, and sighed with emotion at Hai Lin's beauty... No, it should be called Mrs. Chen now.

"Do you really dare to put her by your side?" When they came to Peony Tower, they saw Chen Weichen was already waiting, and standing beside him was Hai Lin who had lied to the Duan family brother and sister.

"According to her intelligence and martial arts, it would be a pity to kill her. Instead of letting her go, it's better to take it now." Luo Sheng put down the pen and ink in his hand, and looked over the railing at Chen Weichen and Hai Lin who were talking in the peony field, "Since Chen Weichen has the intention, let her be done." They are also good, and there are always two people who can take advantage of me by my side."

"It's true, with them here, at least you don't have to worry about the bandits... I will be responsible for protecting you personally." Duan Xiaolou turned his head, his bright eyes still shining brightly.

"You, just stop running outside."

"But...but it's boring to be bored here every day. I still hope that Luo Sheng will go out with me. In the evening, the old village head will pick up his wife and invite us to a wedding. Luo Sheng, you can go too."

"No." Luo Sheng himself never took a step out of the Peony Building, but he did not forbid Duan Xiaolou and Chen Weichen to go out, and even combed Duan Xiaolou's hair when she went out, and told the servants to take good care of her little lady.

When they came to Peony Tower, they became the widows of the dead master, Luo Sheng became the eldest wife, and Duan Xiaolou became the young wife.

Regarding this setting, Duan Xiaolou resisted at first, but Luo Sheng said that this is the safest and most reasonable identity. After all, it is easy for two women to be sarcastic when they are together. It would be much more reasonable if the two widows returned home.

Although there are many pitfalls, Duan Xiaolou will get used to it after a long time.

When the night darkened, the little madam wanted to go back to the Peony Building. The thin servant in the front was holding a dim yellow lantern, and the little maid in the back was laughing and holding her hand. They walked across the field ridge, making the passing drunks think they saw a fairy.

The fairy still smiled at him, so the drunk man froze on the spot, sat down blankly, and watched the little lady walk away slowly.

When they returned to the Peony Building, the old woman guarding the door only said that the eldest lady had already fallen asleep, so the little lady opened the door lightly, only to see that the bedside light was still on, and Luo Sheng was reclined on the bed, with his hands still on the books. On the bed, it seemed that he fell asleep halfway through reading a book.

Luo Sheng didn't like to join in the fun, from before to now, he never let Duan Xiaolou be restrained.

So she walked over and gently removed the book, only to see Luo Sheng opened his eyes.

"Did it wake you up?"

"What time is it?"

Luo Sheng let her take the book away, and asked lazily.

"Well, it's getting dark and it's almost time."

While speaking, the little lady stuffed the dates into Luo Sheng's mouth, and said with a smile, "This is a wedding ceremony at the old village head's house, and it was specially brought to entertain guests. These dates are crisp and sweet, and I specially brought them to you. "

"Hmm..." Luo Sheng chewed the dates and said vaguely, "It's too late, come back sooner."

"It's an accident this time... By the way, the weather has been fine these few days, you should go out for a walk too, you're always stuck at home, how boring." Seeing Luo Sheng eating jujube, the little lady brought a teacup to her She rinsed her mouth and picked up a cloth towel to wipe her hands.

"Okay." Luo Sheng put his arms around her shoulders, patted her back lightly and responded lightly, then suddenly opened his eyes again, "Eat less wine, I'm sweating."

"Well, I'm going to take a shower and then sleep."

When she finished washing, Luo Sheng had already closed her eyes and let out a steady breathing sound, apparently falling asleep again, so Duan Xiaolou carefully blew out the light, leaned down and kissed Luo Sheng on the cheek, unexpectedly The sleeping man put his arms around her shoulders and held her in his arms.

The next day the sun was fine, and the continuous drizzle in spring finally stopped. The sun was shining brightly, making the ditches glisten, willows swaying in the fields, and unknown wildflowers dotted the grass beside the road.

The mountains were full of green, the seedlings were green, Duan Xiaolou bounced and walked in front, Luo Sheng followed behind with a bamboo hat and veil, and Chen Weichen followed with a sword hanging, but he was also a little distracted looking at the surrounding spring scenery.

As a result, Duan Xiaolou backed away with a yelp, almost bumping into Luo Sheng.

"What's the matter?" Luo Sheng took the bamboo hat and lifted up the veil, but saw that there were unplanted paddy fields on both sides of the narrow field ridge. At this moment, there was a red snake coiled on the dry field, and it was lazily basking in the sun. looking at the sun.

Duan Xiaolou took two steps back, and finally hid behind Luo Sheng by pulling Luo Sheng's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Or, let's go another way?"

"I thought it was something...I didn't expect you to be afraid of snakes." Luo Sheng smiled, put the light gauze away from the bamboo hat, walked towards the snake, and said calmly, "They must have just finished hibernation."

Unexpectedly, while talking, he pinched the snake's head and lifted it up. Duan Xiaolou's face turned pale for a while, and he dodged aside, revealing Chen Weichen who was facing a formidable enemy.

"Are you afraid too?" Luo Sheng knows Chen Weichen's martial arts best. He used to walk in the mountains and forests and encounter wild animals and never saw him showing any signs of fear. white.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous." Luo Sheng smiled and said these two sentences, and the people behind him were obviously relieved, but they saw Luo Sheng hand the snake to Chen Weichen, and ordered, "Turn your head and take it back Bar."

"what?"

"Eat snake soup at night."

Chen Weichen's extremely fast long sword turned into a white shadow and passed over Luo Sheng's wrist, making Duan Xiaolou nervous.

"Do you want to go back first?" Luo Sheng turned his head and asked Duan Xiaolou, and thoughtfully patted her on the shoulder.

"It's okay, it's not because of you."

"Too."

Luo Sheng was in a good mood, turned his hands behind his back and continued to move forward, but within two steps there was another piebald snake. Duan Xiaolou watched nervously, but Luo Sheng continued to move forward without taking his eyes off the snake before starting to catch the snake again.

"The one just now...why..."

"That one is poisonous." Luo Sheng held another red fire snake in his hand, and handed it to the white-faced Chen Weichen.

"But don't worry, as long as you don't get too close, he won't take the initiative to attack you, and with your sword skills, you don't have to worry about being bitten."

"Aren't you afraid?" Duan Xiaolou blinked. Apart from himself and Chen Weichen, most of the servants in this group knew a few tricks, but they all avoided the winding snakes here one after another, only Luo Sheng Excited to grab it.

"These are not poisonous." Luo Sheng answered calmly.

"You have researched this too?"

"Hmm..." Luo Sheng wiped his hands clean, put down the veil again, and said calmly, "When I was 12 years old, a poisonous snake appeared in the palace, and then, my father specially hired a master snake catcher, He not only knows how to catch snakes, but also catches some insects and birds, and even raises snakes, I have learned some from him."

Luo Sheng said it simply, but Duan Xiaolou was terrified when he heard it. He grabbed Luo Sheng's sleeves with both hands and said after a long time, "Fortunately, it's over."

"Don't think too much, I didn't think much at the time. No matter whether it is the father or the emperor, they have never treated me badly in those years. But whatever I like and want, I will send someone to arrange it properly, except for the prince and the young master. Fu is very strict and has never suffered any grievances, so I find it interesting."

Seeing that Luo Sheng was in a good mood, Duan Xiaolou also laughed, "It's your brother after all."

Before Luo Sheng escaped by feigning death, Duan Xiaolou felt that the current emperor is actually a good person, but Luo Sheng grew up in a royal family that is far from ordinary people. Duan Xiaolou played with his brother's buttocks since he was a child, and he went out with his feet behind him. He only thought that the brotherhood had long been indifferent, but now it seems that it is connected by blood.

Luo Sheng is not a talkative person either, it is the first time that such a private matter from childhood has been brought forward like this, normally Duan Xiaolou has scruples and it is inconvenient to ask, Luo Sheng will not take the initiative to mention it.

Peony Tower is seven or eight miles away from the city. Although it is a city, it is an unknown small place. It is only two streets to walk around, and there is not much popularity.Duan Xiaolou couldn't call Luo Sheng, so he liked to go out by himself. After a long time, the servants didn't like to bring any maidservants. He went out alone with a dagger for self-defense. He went in the morning and came back in the evening, and saw something interesting Buy some delicious food, bring it back and stuff it into Luo Sheng's mouth whether she likes it or not.

Fortunately, His Majesty Tang Wang, who used to be very picky, is now in a good mood. He no longer cares about food, and basically eats whatever is stuffed in the small building.

This time, Duan Xiaolou went to the only silver shop in the small town to look at jewelry. A small place is a small place. Duan Xiaolou went shopping a few times, but he didn’t buy any big items. Most of them were small jade pendants decorated with knots for replacement. I took a few at random, and then I can only say that there is really nowhere to go.

Fortunately, this time I finally got a decent gilt hairpin. The lifelike Magpie Lin looked like everyone's handwriting, and Duan Xiaolou took a fancy to it at a glance.

"The girl has a good eye, this is a treasure!"

"How much is it?"

"500 taels."

Duan Xiaolou curled his lips and put the things down expressionlessly.

Things are good, 500 taels, it's a steal!What's more, Duan Xiaolou is not short of jewelry, not to mention the ones brought by Luo Sheng, the dowry from Qinghong Villa alone is enough for her to wear them for decades.

So even though he was a little moved, he still put the hairpin back. The boss saw the big fish about to run and stretched out his hand and was about to call for someone, but Duan Xiaolou snorted and turned his head away.

"Girl, how about I give you this hairpin?" At some point, several tall and burly men came to the store. Jingshui, on the other hand, has a beautiful moustache on his chin and looks lively. He is wearing a brown jumper with a dark green diamond-trimmed robe. And the tailoring is excellent.

"Are you serious?" The man who looked like a domestic servant behind the man had already paid according to the master's wishes, but Duan Xiaolou tilted his head suspiciously.

"Naturally." The man looked at her laughing, his eyes narrowed, and Duan Xiaolou got goosebumps all over, so he turned his head and said, "No!"

"I've given you the money, you can take it." The man held the golden hairpin in his hand and handed it to Duan Xiaolou.

"I said, don't!" Duan Xiaolou stuck out his tongue, and ran out without turning his head, leaving behind a few men with wide-eyed eyes, and the leader still laughed, "Let's go, Take a look."
