－－－－－－－－－－－－－

In March, the grass grows and the orioles fly, the spring warms and the flowers bloom, and the fragrance of flowers and herbs floats in the air.

It’s the best time of the year.

Everyone loved peonies at that time, and the peonies of Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, were even more famous throughout the world. There are also people who love peonies in Dingzhou City. People from wealthy and luxurious families often consider building peony gardens as an elegant thing.

The Ling family’s peony garden is very famous in Dingzhou, with dozens of varieties of famous peonies. This year, we also planted the latest variety of multi-color peonies, which bloomed in March, one month earlier than the normal flowering period, and became famous for a while. It aroused the curiosity of many people, who sent greetings and wanted to come and enjoy the flowers.

As Mrs. Ling’s birthday was approaching, everyone in the house was busy preparing for the birthday banquet and had no time to entertain the guests, so she had to politely decline the invitation. This made people even more curious, and they secretly asked which gardener had planted it. Ling Jingshu’s reputation became even louder in Dingzhou City when she learned that the complex peony was planted by Miss Ninth of the Ling Mansion.

Ling Jingshu has been resting in Qiushui Pavilion these days, so naturally she doesn’t know this. Even if he knew it, he wouldn’t take it to heart.

Experienced all kinds of pain and suffering in his previous life, and died of humiliation. Now that she is reborn, she is no longer the carefree boudoir girl she once was. All I can think about is how to take revenge, so I don’t have time to pay attention to these false names.

There are three gardeners in the peony garden, which covers an area of ​​about ten acres. There are also some servants doing chores. Seeing Ling Jingshu enter the garden, they all calmed down and quietly retreated.

It is not yet the peony flowering season, and the peonies in the peony garden have not yet bloomed. Everywhere you can see are lush branches and leaves, dotted with buds of different colors, which creates a unique charm.

Ling Jingshu walked slowly along the path, her eyes lingering casually, and her mood gradually relaxed.

Bai Yu followed Ling Jingshu and said with a smile: “Miss, the pot of multi-colored peonies you grafted and cultivated last year has bloomed. Miss has been staying in Qiushui Pavilion these days and has not seen it with her own eyes yet!”

Ling Jingshu relaxed her brows and raised the corners of her lips: “Okay, I’ll go take a look right now.”

General peonies are planted in large areas, and most of the real famous peonies are potted. Rare varieties of peonies are carefully cultivated using many methods such as division, grafting, cuttings, and layering.

Ling Jingshu has been fond of peonies since she was a child, and deliberately learned how to cultivate peonies from a skilled gardener. She is ingenious and extremely talented. In just a few years, she has become better than her master.

Many famous peonies are placed in the northeast corner of the garden, such as white jade, jade, ink, sunflower, and Yaohuang. Most of the maids in the Ling Mansion are named after this.

In addition to reading, practicing calligraphy, practicing piano and learning rules, Ling Jingshu spends almost all her free time in the peony garden. Most of these peonies were carefully cultivated by Ling Jingshu.

Ling Jingshu stopped in front of a pot of peonies.

This precious and rare pot of multi-colored peonies is commonly known as Erqiao, also known as Luoyang Brocade.

The preciousness of Luoyang brocade lies in the fact that two flowers of different colors bloom on the same branch. Not only are the flowers different colors, the branches and leaves on both sides are also completely different. It’s like two completely different peonies merged into one. Breathtaking.

The pink-white flowers are pinpintingting, and the purple-red flowers are delicate and bright. The flowers are as big as the mouth of a bowl, the petals are warm and thick, and the colors are bright and complex.

The emerald green leaves shine with an emerald color.

Ling Jingshu leaned forward slightly, and the refreshing aroma rushed towards her, refreshing her heart and mind.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and inhaled the faint fragrance. The corners of his lips were raised high.

……

The sudden sound of footsteps broke the silence.

Who is it?

Ling Jingshu did not stand up straight, but only turned her head slightly.

The bright and dazzling sunshine in the afternoon fell on her pretty face as delicate and shiny as jade, her black eyes shone like gems, and a strand of naughty hair hung gently on the side of her face. The smile on the red lips has not yet subsided, blooming like a flower.

The bright and beautiful peonies could not take away her grace. A smile was enough to eclipse all the other flowers.

All this is too beautiful to be true, like a dream.

The young man in brocade clothes suddenly appeared and stood there in a daze, forgetting to move. His eyes were fixed on the girl in the flowers, unable to look away.

The young boy’s heart, which had never stirred for many years, was beating very fast at this moment.

Against the light, Ling Jingshu couldn’t see the face of the person clearly for a moment. But in the past few years, this man’s voice and smile have been deeply engraved in her heart, and she has never forgotten it.

Like thunder, for a moment, blood surged into my mind.

Lu Hong!

How dare you appear in front of me!

Why do you still have the nerve to come see me!

……

It was only a short moment, but time seemed to be standing still, frozen in this moment.

Bai Yu coughed lightly and broke the silence in a low voice: “Miss, this should be the young cousin of the Lu family.”

Not everyone can enter the inner garden of Ling Mansion. Although it was an unfamiliar face, he walked in casually. It was obviously the young cousin of the Lu family, Lu Hong, whom Ling Jingxian mentioned.

The young man is about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure, wearing light blue brocade clothes, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a nose like hanging gallbladder, lips like red vermillion, and a face like a crown jade.

Ling Xiao is also very well-born, but compared with the young man in front of him, he lacks the look of looking forward to Shenfei.

No wonder Ling Jingxian begged her master regardless of the girl’s reserve. This young cousin is indeed a handsome young man like no other…

Bai Yu secretly admired her, but when her eyes fell on Ling Jingshu’s face, she couldn’t help but be startled.

The expression is stiff and the eyes are cold. It’s not like meeting a distinguished guest, but like meeting a sworn enemy…

“Bai Yu, let’s go!” Ling Jingshu forced herself to lower her eyelids, and there was nothing wrong in her calm tone.

Bai Yu hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: “Miss, since we have met, let’s say hello! It seems a bit rude to leave like this.”

Everyone who comes is a guest! What’s more, this young cousin is the eldest son of the Lu family and has a distinguished status. Even for the sake of Ling’s face, we can’t neglect it. Otherwise, Mrs. Ling would definitely be unhappy if she found out.

Bai Yu didn’t need to say these words, Ling Jingshu also knew them well.

After this hesitation, Lu Hong had already walked over.

I can’t avoid it even if I want to!

Ling Jingshu composed herself and looked up.

Lu Hong’s appearance is excellent, and his temperament is even more outstanding. When walking, there is no hurry or slowness, and the demeanor is graceful.

It was this grace that fascinated the noble princess of the Zhou Dynasty. She is willing to bear the reputation of stealing her husband, but also wants to keep him in the princess’s mansion…

“I have met both of the cousins ​​in the Ling family. You must be Shu’s cousin from the fifth room!” Lu Hong stopped two meters away, clasped his fists with his hands, and made a common courtesy: “I My surname is Lu, and my name only has the character Hong. Just call me Cousin Hong.”

Gentle, courteous and personable. The etiquette is thorough and impeccable.

In comparison, Ling Jingshu’s reaction was much colder, and she returned the gift very casually: “It turns out to be my cousin from the Lu family.”

The reluctant look on his face was clearly visible.

Lu Hong was not angry even after he hit a soft nail. A slightly eager gaze fell firmly on Ling Jingshu’s unusually cold and pretty face: “My second brother and I went to Ling’s house with our mother as guests. We heard that my cousin Shu was ill and had never been able to see her. We felt very regretful. Today is finally the day. I met my cousin Shu.”

As he spoke, he was secretly annoyed in his heart.

He actually wasted three days in vain?

You should visit her on the first day you arrive. This way I can get to know her sooner.

……

That familiar look in her eyes made Ling Jingshu’s suppressed resentment and hatred surge in her chest again.

Day after day of waiting, day after day of despair, struggling in endless humiliation and pain. Waiting day and night for him to return and save her from danger. But what was waiting for him was the bad news that he had another heart.

As much as I loved him back then, I hated him so much later.

How could she deal with him as if nothing had happened?

She wished she could stab him in the chest with a sharp blade in her hand!

Lu Hong was immersed in inexplicable excitement and joy, and did not notice Ling Jingshu’s silence for a moment. He continued with a smile: “On the first day I came here, I heard my grandmother talking about you. I heard that you are good at cultivating famous peonies. , and also planted multicolor peonies. Today I went to my home to listen to the lesson. After lunch, I had half an hour to rest. Then I went to the garden to enjoy the flowers. Unexpectedly, I met you here.”

Lu Hong waited for a moment, but Ling Jingshu didn’t speak~IndoMTL.com~ Finally he realized something was wrong, and when he met Ling Jingshu’s cold and hostile eyes, he became more and more confused.

The two met for the first time. He always observes etiquette and does not dare to offend the beautiful lady. Why does she have such a bad attitude?

“Cousin Shu,” Lu Hong suppressed the confusion in his heart and tried his best to show his best demeanor: “I have liked peonies since I was a child. The Lu family has also planted many famous peonies, but this is the compound peony. It’s not easy to plant. I wonder if I can ask my cousin Shu to give me some advice?”

After giving you advice once, you can shamelessly ask for advice a second time…

Ling Jingshu refused expressionlessly; “This is my unique secret skill and will never be passed on to others.”

Lu Hong: “…”

The smile on Lu Hong’s face froze.

As I grow up, I have met many boudoir girls. Some were shy and timid, some were dignified and polite, and some were bolder, looking at him affectionately and secretly.

This is the first time in my life that I took the initiative to strike up a conversation and show my goodwill, but it was met with disappointment.

Awkward, embarrassing, angry, annoyed… I want to walk away, but I can’t move.

All kinds of complicated emotions were intertwined, making the arrogant young master of the Lu family freeze on the spot, not knowing how to react.

Ling Jingshu let out a fierce breath of anger, feeling very happy in her heart, and said lightly: “Bai Yu, let’s go back.”

As he said that, he walked past Lu Hong without even looking at him.

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly chased after him.

Only Lu Hong was left standing there blankly, watching the graceful but indifferent figure of the beauty go away.
