Chapter 74 Rice Cake (3)

The moment I stepped into the workshop, my eyes suddenly opened up.

Surrounded by meandering water, pavilions and pavilions are scattered in an orderly manner. Flowers and trees are scattered along the path, swaying in the wind.

Wen Mingtang followed the maid across the bluestone bridge. What he could see was an entire calm lake. Lotus leaves were swaying on the lake surface, and hibiscus could be seen everywhere. There is also a lotus boat in the middle, and a dancer in a dance skirt is practicing dance on the boat.

There was indeed a unique elegance to this scene, and Wen Mingtang couldn't help but take a few more glances in the direction of the lake.

The maid who was leading the way turned back and glanced sideways at her: "What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up?"

Wen Mingtang looked back and said calmly: "It's very beautiful!"

"It's not something you can look at too much!" The maid frowned again when she saw her, and urged, "Why don't you leave quickly?"

Wen Mingtang nodded and followed.

Naturally, the leader of the folk music studio does not need to live with the singers and dancers nearby, but has a separate small building of his own.

When they entered the building, the maid who led the way visibly breathed a sigh of relief. She was lucky that she didn't meet anyone along the way.

She turned to look at Wen Mingtang and said, "Let's go! Miss Xiu is waiting for you on the road!"

Wen Mingtang said "Oh" and followed the maid upstairs. As soon as he stepped into the house, a voice rang out.

"Why do you look like this?"

The voice merged with the one in the memory, but it had an indescribable worldly feel to it compared to the one in the memory.

Wen Mingtang looked at her feet. The cinnabar red eighteen-pleat skirt bloomed on the carpet. It was bright and beautiful, but no matter how gorgeous it was, it could not compare with the person wearing the skirt. She raised her eyelids and looked at Wen Mingtang. come over.

Without the obstruction of Mi Li that day, that colorful face appeared in sight.

Wen Mingtang looked at the exaggerated peony hairpins that couldn't suppress the gorgeous color, and sighed slightly: it really grew into a blooming peony flower.

She sighed at Wen Xiutang's magnificent appearance, that "peony flower", oh no, it was Wen Xiutang. But she frowned, looked at Wen Mingtang, and repeated what she just said: "Why do you look like this?"

Wen Mingtang was about to speak, but suddenly he noticed a gaze that could not be ignored looking at her. When he glanced out of the corner of his eye, he saw the fan girl standing next to Wen Xiutang. She was looking at Wen Mingtang unabashedly. When she saw Wen Mingtang's return gaze, she did not avoid it, continued to look at him carefully, and then shook her head invisibly.

Wen Mingtang retracted his gaze from the fanning maid, turned to Wen Xiutang in the middle, touched his face, and said, "I have always looked like this! Two eyes, one nose, and one mouth."

Wen Xiutang: "..." The person I'm talking about doesn't have two eyes, a nose and a mouth.

After a moment of silence, she didn't say anything more about what Wen Mingtang "looks like", but a trace of happiness flashed in her eyes, and she turned to say: "If I hadn't suddenly wanted to eat Sushan that day, I'm afraid I wouldn't have known about you. Out of the palace."

Wen Mingtang thought of the look she looked back at him when she was surrounded by the maids and left the house, and nodded: "It's also a coincidence. I always feel that she looks familiar. She seems to be Ajie. But I originally thought that Ajie's sign has been removed and she has already disappeared. without……"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Xiutang frowned again. Looking at Wen Mingtang, who was dressed in linen robes and seemed to be speaking a little out of tune, he interrupted her unceremoniously: "I'm a very nice person, nothing's wrong."

Which good person would be happy to be told that he is "dead"?

This clan girl was quite well-behaved when she was a child, but after being released from the Ye Ting for a few years, she really became just like those low-level palace maids who were out of tune.

Wen Mingtang said "Oh", looked at Wen Xiutang, and asked with concern: "How did sister get out of the palace?"

"Luckily, the master of Jiaofang passed by and chose me." Wen Xiutang said with a twinkle in his eye.

This is half true and half false. She has lived well since she was a child. How has she ever suffered like that? After entering Yeting, the group of palace maids were jealous of her appearance and sent her to pour night incense. Then, the man passed by at that time and took her out of the palace.

Glancing down at the paint on her nails, Wen Xiutang looked at Wen Mingtang in front of her and asked, "Where did you go after you left the palace?"

Wen Mingtang said: "Work as a cook in the public kitchen of Dali Temple."

Wen Xiutang frowned again when he heard this, and said, "What's so good about being a cook? Especially in a place like Dali Temple. Come out and come to my place. If you really want to be a cook, it's better to provide food for me alone." Got it!"

The girl opposite heard this, but she pinched the corner of her clothes with a reluctant look on her face: "I... don't really think about it. Food and accommodation are included there..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Wen Xiutang. She glanced sideways at Wen Mingtang and said, "Am I going to miss your food and accommodation here?" After saying that, before Wen Mingtang could speak, she said, "You can take this when you go back." It’s time to quit, come to me!”

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he lowered his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Our Wen family's ancestral motto says that if you are not forced to do so, why would you choose to join a monastery?"

After hearing this sentence, Wen Xiutang's face immediately darkened, and she looked at Wen Mingtang with a heavy gaze: "What do you mean?"

Wen Mingtang shook his head and said, "Sister, I have my own reasons, I know. But I am doing well in the public kitchen of Dali Temple and I don't want to leave."

Wen Xiutang sneered with a stern face, his eyes flashed, and said: "That's it! It's up to you!" He glanced at her and said, "Next time if something happens, I will ask someone to look for you, you go first Let's go back!"

Wen Mingtang said "Oh", but didn't stay much. He just said, "I feel relieved knowing that sister is fine!", and then followed the maid who led the way out.

As soon as he exited the back door of the classroom, there was a strong sound of the door closing behind him.

Hearing a "bang" sound behind him, Wen Mingtang looked back at the secular music studio behind him, touched his nose, and walked forward.

Not long after Wen Mingtang left, an uninvited guest came to Wen Xiutang's small building.

The visitor was wearing a gorgeous robe and a golden crown, and a fair complexion. He entered the door and said, "Is that old man Wen Xuance's daughter looking for you today?"

Wen Xiutang, who didn't even stand up when facing Wen Mingtang, immediately stood up to greet the person who came up to him. He reached out and took off his cloak and said softly: "Come here before leaving."

The visitor said "Oh" and asked her, "How was your birth?"

The tone was slightly raised, and he seemed to be a little interested. Before anything happened to the Wen family, everyone knew that the Wen sisters would be famous in the capital when they grew up. He had been curious about Wen Xiutang's appearance and Wen Mingtang's appearance for a long time.

Wen Xiutang said: "I don't know how she became like that now."

This... the visitor heard this and turned to look at the fanning maid aside: "Is she growing too old?"

The maid said: "Compared with ordinary people, she is quite pretty, but compared with beautiful girls, she is as beautiful as a plum blossom."

The words "Pose of a Puliu" immediately dissuaded the visitor. He sighed with some disappointment, then waved his hand and said: "Originally, I thought that if she had a good career like Xiutang, I would send her Get it, and make another pair of sisters with Xiutang! If that old man Wen Xuance knew anything, he would be angry to death again! Now that she is growing bad, I am not happy to wrong myself. Find someone to send her on her way! "
