There are few people on the path, and there are clumps of peach blossoms to cover it. It seems that only Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin are left in the fairyland-like scenery, so the steps under their feet can't help but slow down. .

The flat ground is quite lively, and the weather is fine today, many beauties and talents in Yangzhou City are willing to come out to admire the flowers and recite poems, and there are also people who play the piano and dance.

Shen Qingyue and Rong Min sat under a peach blossom tree, saw them holding hands, smiled and waved to them.

"You guys are here, if you don't come, I will have to call someone to find you." Shen Qingyue said angrily.

Shen Mingshu led Luo Xin to sit down, Rong Min's eyes fell on their hands, and she looked at Shen Mingshu with a smile.

With a faint smile on the corner of Shen Mingshu's lips, he said, "Please worry about it."

Luo Xin pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes fell on Shen Mingshu's face from time to time, her eyebrows and eyes curved.

The maids who brought them put out the refreshments they brought, and the four of them sat under the tree. The breeze blew, and some peach petals fell, breaking up the mottled spots of light from the sun.

Luo Xin raised her head, stared at the falling peach petals, with some reluctance on her face, she murmured, "It's a pity."

"Could it be that you also feel sad and fallen flowers?" Shen Qingyue looked at Luo Xin with some interest.

Luo Xin reluctantly looked away, looked at Shen Qingyue, nodded and said, "It would be great if these peach petals could be used to make desserts."

Shen Qingyue rubbed her forehead, she really wanted to have a fork, how could Luo Xin think that there are some things that are not there, they are still delicious.

Rong Min asked with a smile, "I don't know what kind of dessert you want to use these peach petals for?"

Speaking of desserts, Luo Xin's dark eyes lit up, and she counted with her fingers, "You can make peach blossom cake, peach blossom crisp, peach blossom porridge..."

Speaking of this, Luo Xin turned her face to look at Shen Mingshu, the dimples on her cheeks gradually deepened, and she said in a clear tone, "These sisters can do it!"

Shen Mingshu looked at her softly, and when he heard her last words, he couldn't help chuckling, and said, "Xin'er remembers it really clearly."

When chatting before going to bed at night, she would talk to Luo Xin about all kinds of snacks that can be made throughout the year, counting the various ingredients, and Luo Xin kept it in mind.

Shen Mingshu stroked Fu Luoxin's hair, straightened her hair that was blown away by the wind, and said softly, "It's not difficult to want peach petals, just talk to the master in the temple."

"Great!" Luo Xin suddenly became happy.

Seeing that Luo Xin was interested, Shen Mingshu simply took her up and went to find the guardian of the Taoyuan himself.

Shen Qingyue looked at their backs as they walked away, smiled and shook her head, and said with a sigh, "Eldest sister loves Luo Xin too much. When did she try her best to make snacks for others before?"

Rong Min took her hand, squeezed it lightly, and said, "Isn't that good?"

Shen Qingyue looked back at her, her eyes were facing each other, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, but she said in a somewhat awkward tone, "What's so good about it."

Rong Min smiled softly, and looked at her side face tenderly, until Shen Qingyue's cheeks flushed, and she turned her head to stare at her.

……

Shen Mingshu led Luo Xin to look for the guardians of the garden. The monks of Zhitong Temple usually have morning and evening classes, and other than that, they also have various homework. The guarding of the garden is often entrusted to the villagers of the neighboring villages. A wooden house was specially built on the mountain.

Not long after Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin left, they saw a wooden house hidden in the peach blossom forest. There was a fence around the outside to trap the chirping chickens inside, and the owner of the wooden house was cutting wood with his back to them.

Shen Mingshu stepped forward, raised his hand to knock the half-closed Jingmen door, and said, "Master, I'm sorry."

The man turned his head when he heard the voice, with a surprised look on his face, "Miss Shen?"

Shen Mingshu was also taken aback for a moment, this honest young man was none other than Wei Min, the eldest son of the Wei family.

Shen Mingshu glanced over, and noticed that he was wearing a simple and shabby cotton padded jacket, the cuffs were all patched, and there were a few bruises on his cheeks, obviously something happened.

She frowned and asked, "Why is Mr. Wei here? Still like this?"

These days, she was busy taking care of the inn, and worried about Luo Xin's affairs. She was a little more relaxed about the news from the Wei family, and she still didn't know what happened.

Wei Min smiled wryly, "I'm ashamed to say it: I was homeless a few days ago and couldn't stay in the city, so I came here to find a job."

Hearing what he said, Shen Mingshu knew in his heart that it must not be that simple. Wei Min is the eldest son, how could he be kicked out?

Wei Min changed the subject and said, "I don't know why Miss Shen is here?"

Shen Mingshu nodded and said, "It's true that I have something to ask for. I wonder if we can pick up some peach petals and take them back to make some snacks."

Wei Min had also heard about the separation of the Shen family before, but he was not surprised. He smiled and said, "What's the matter, just take it."

When they were talking just now, Luo Xin looked at Wei Min curiously, and then at Shen Mingshu. Hearing what he said, she looked happy, and said, "Thank you, you can come to Xuandong Tower to have a taste when the time comes."

Shen Mingshu's heart moved, he also nodded, and thanked, "If Brother Wei doesn't mind, when it's finished, I have to invite Brother Wei to try it."

Wei Min waved his hand and said, "It's just a trivial matter, it doesn't have to be like this, I don't go to the city right now, I will visit again when I have a chance."

Hearing what he said, Shen Mingshu didn't want to force her, so after saying a few more words, she said goodbye to Luo Xin and left the same way.

In the past, when Shen Mingshu took care of the Shen family's business, he also had a lot of dealings with Wei Min. Although the Shen and Wei families were at odds, Wei Min never did tricks in the dark and was always kind to others. situation.

They walked back to the original plain and ordered their servants to pick up the freshly fallen peach petals.

Shen Qingyue took Luo Xin to listen to the song girl playing and singing, Shen Mingshu and Rong Min sat under the tree drinking tea, Shen Mingshu frowned slightly, and said, "I just met Wei Min, he is here as a garden keeper, but the Wei family left What's up?"

Rong Min was also a little surprised, "So he's here." Seeing that Shen Mingshu didn't know, she explained softly, "When the Shen family's Black Pearl incident happened, Wei Min wasn't there, and Wei Xuan got a lot of benefits by making decisions, and he was in the capital again. After opening the business, the clan didn't talk much anymore, the master of the Wei family liked Wei Xuan even more, a few days ago, he heard that Mrs. Wei was seriously ill, and Wei Min was kicked out not long after, and disappeared without a trace."

Shen Mingshu's eyes dimmed, and he said, "Wei Min is the son of the eldest son, I never thought that the Wei family would do such a foolish thing, Wei Min is quite capable, it's a pity."

Rong Min looked at her with raised eyebrows, and asked, "You want to recruit Wei Min?"

Shen Mingshu nodded, "But not now, let's live in a few days."

When the sun was getting darker, the four of them went down the mountain and returned home by carriage.

Shen Mingshu was sitting in the carriage, thinking about these things. Zhang Xiulang's handwriting was probably indispensable for Wei Xuan's success in taking over the family property. She thought about the matter of the Black Pearl before. Know a lot of inside information.

Shen Mingshu's eyes froze, she had an idea in her mind, her expression slowed down, she looked at Luo Xin who was beside her, she was carefully picking out the peach petals in the basket, peeling off the pink peach blossoms with her slender and fair fingers, pinched a petal and placed it On the side, leisurely and peaceful.

Shen Mingshu's eyes became softer, watching Luo Xin's happy expression, the unpleasant emotions accumulated in his heart slowly dissipated.

The news of Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin's return to the city was also quickly sent to Shopkeeper Liu. It seemed that he was just going out of the city to enjoy the flowers, nothing special, and he thought that he was overthinking.

Shopkeeper Liu tore up the note and threw it away. He sat back at the table and looked at the account books in front of him. Remembering it on his side, the hole got bigger and bigger, and he couldn't help feeling terrified.

But now, he and Zhang Xiulang are already on the same boat, if this matter is exposed, he may be the first to die, and he still has to find some way to make it up.

He wanted to pick a time to find out what Zhang Xiulang said, but he didn't expect that it was Zhang Xiulang who came to look for him first.

This time it was not in a small building, but in a tavern. Shopkeeper Liu went up through the back door, and Zhang Xiulang was waiting for him.

Shopkeeper Liu closed the door, quickly bowed and saluted, and said, "Master Biao, I don't know what orders you have from looking for this time."

Zhang Xiulang shook his fan and said with a smile, "I got some private ways to make money, and I want to pay some money from you first."

Shopkeeper Liu was taken aback for a moment, and was overjoyed. Fortunately, this guy finally thought of earning some money. Although he wanted to ask what kind of connection it was, he wouldn't tell him if he wanted to come, so he had to agree.

Seeing him leave, Zhang Xiulang was also happy in his heart. Fortunately, there was shopkeeper Liu. He didn't want the old lady to know about these things, so he couldn't use her people.

A few days ago when he was playing in the small building, he met a few friends. Only then did he know that there was a caravan going to those small Fanyi countries to sell some things. Those who are rich will not deceive him, and the money will fall into his pocket by then.

With such thoughts in Zhang Xiulang's heart, he got up and left the restaurant contentedly, to go to the banquet with his good friends.

It's a pity that Shen Qingjia was quite infatuated with the Qingwu girl who painted the boat, so she didn't participate much in the banquet between them, she was really stupid.

But that's fine too, Zhang Xiulang thought in his heart, Shen Qingjia was chasing after Qing Wu, and had no time to take care of other things, so he could intervene in more affairs of Linlang Pavilion, after all, those benefits are real.
