plum tree
"Sir, please lead the way."
"Wait a minute, girl, do you want some tea? The last time the girl came, Gu didn't entertain her well. This time, Gu will treat her to a cup of tea."
An Ning raised her eyebrows, drinking tea? How to drink it?
I saw Gu Qingyuan return to the thatched house again. When he came out again, he was holding a bamboo basket in one hand, which contained an old teapot and two teacups. There was also a cattail leaf fan and some firewood in the other hand.
, "Let's go, girl."
An Ning stepped forward and wanted to take the thing in his hand, but he turned away slightly. He said softly: "The visitor is a guest, how can I let the girl take the thing?"
An Ning followed Gu Qingzhao for a while. She looked at the scenery along the way and sighed in her heart. There were actually s here, but they were not in bloom, but they were still in bud.
Looking at this kind of scenery and breathing this kind of air, the paradise mentioned in the book is nothing more than this.
Gu Qingzhao saw An Ning staring at the . He stopped and explained: "There were no s here originally. They were some kind of s. There are not many, but in winter, they are very beautiful." He looked at the in front of him.
The girl in the peach dress, look at the plum blossoms in bud, the color is really beautiful.
An Ning sighed, "I see." People like him should like plum blossoms very much, lost and independent.
In the center surrounded by s, there were indeed two stone piers, and a large tree stump in the middle for putting things. An Ning looked at him in surprise, it turned out to be like this, and she smiled.
She also felt that it should be like this, a fairy-like young master, who occasionally made tea and drank wine in a fairy-like place, and had no worries about the world, just like this Hanmei. Otherwise, living alone in a thatched house would be too sad.
An Ning was about to sit down when Gu Qingzhao stopped her. An Ning didn't understand why. She watched him put all the things in his hands on the tree stump, then took out the teapot and teacup, and finally took out the teapot placed on the bamboo basket.
Sipa handed it to her, "Don't make your clothes dirty."
An Ning took the square handkerchief in a daze. It was old but very clean. She looked at the man in front of her who was collecting firewood. An Ning couldn't help but sigh that he was so careful. In this case, she was no longer polite and put the handkerchief on the silk cushion.
He sat down on the stone pier.
At this time, Gu Qingzhao had already lit the fire, "Girl, you can warm yourself up."
An Ning looked at the pile of firewood, which was relatively close to her. If he wanted to make tea, he would need to stand up.
It turned out that he was afraid that she would be cold, "Thank you very much, Mr. Gu."
"Girl, please tell me if there is anything that Gu can help with." As he said this, he placed the teapot on the already burning firewood and blew the teapot in the opposite direction to her with a cattail leaf fan.
go.
It was originally a bit cold, but now she felt warm sitting here, "Mr. Gu, does he know that the corruption case of Ruan Fang, the magistrate of Feng County, has been reversed these days?"
Gu Qingzhao, who was fanning the cattail leaf fan, paused slightly with his well-jointed hands, and after a moment, he seemed impermanent, "I heard a little bit."
An Ning lowered her eyes and frowned slightly. After a moment, she stood up and bent slightly and said, "An Ning has an unkind need, please help me sir."
Gu Qingzhao raised her hand with a cattail leaf fan and said, "Girl, tell me."
At this time, Gu Qingzhao started to put the tea leaves in, and the fragrance of tea overflowed instantly, and the breeze blew by, refreshing the heart and mind.
An Ning didn't speak, but she didn't want to disturb this moment. She sighed slightly, raised her head and looked at Gu Qingzhao, her eyes filled with determination and clarity, "The Holy One has already ordered Ruan Fang's matter to be investigated thoroughly by the Ministry of Punishment, but Ye Shen, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment,
If nothing else happens, I am afraid that Magistrate Ruan will not be given justice. Therefore, I want Mr. Gu’s student, Nie Yuan, the Minister of Punishment, to take over this matter."
At this moment, a hand holding a tea cup appeared in front of her. Looking at the green tea in front of her, her nose could not help smelling the rich fragrance. An Ning's hand slowly took the tea cup, and their fingertips touched slightly, but there was no one there.
Confused.
An Ning held the cup of warm tea in her hand, sighing in her heart that such a warm person had such enthusiastic and thin hands, even the tea had to wait until it was warm before handing it to her.
An Ning looked at him. If he went to Kyoto to meet more girls, countless girls would fall in love with him.
"Girl, try some tea to warm yourself up first." He neither responded nor refused to what he just said.
An Ning has a sweet taste in the mouth, without the astringency of tea, silky and dry mouthfeel, and without the slightest bitterness.
"It turns out that sir likes this kind of tea." It doesn't look like a man's drink, but... "Sir, did you prepare it specially for me?" She must have been overthinking it, how could it be possible?
An Ning frowned, "Sorry, I..."
Gu Qingzhao interrupted her apology, "It's for girls."
What?
An Ning was surprised for a moment, then immediately realized, "It turns out, Sir, he knew I would come." She smiled, and for a moment, in this plum garden, the winter color could not suppress her color at all.
Also, Gu Qingzhao is such a smart person, how could he not guess it. I am afraid that everyone outside has already guessed that she did it. Because he came to see her after she was reborn, how could he think that she was the kind of person who did it for love?
People who are dying or even dying of anger may never believe it from the beginning to the end, even the people in front of them.
"The case of Ruan Fang is indeed suspicious. Daye can only have officials who deserve to die, not honest officials who die in vain. When it comes to pursuing his own affairs, Nie Shilang is a fair and strict man." One sentence made his position clear.
Only An Ning knows how much this sentence shocked her. Daye can only have officials who deserve to die, not officials who die in vain...
"Mr. Gu, please." If the previous gift was for asking for help, then this gift is respect from the heart.
···
While sitting in the carriage and walking back, An Ning was thinking about Gu Qingzhao, as she had thought before, why he was not living a wealthy life as a marquis and prime minister, but wanted to be a teacher at Dali Academy.
Perhaps one person is weak in power, but the power of many is strong. The power of one person cannot control corrupt officials and injustice in various places, but if all local officials were honest and upright officials, then things like Ruan Fang would not happen.
.If the scene above the court is like this, the world will be harmonious and Daye will be prosperous forever.
Today, she completely understood Gu Qingzhao's intention of doing this, and also understood his persistence and what he had been doing. Based on what he said, how could a teacher be a real teacher?
An Ning walked through the back door and returned to the general's mansion while ensuring that no one saw her.
"Miss, you're back." Yuezi heard the knocking outside and opened the door. After An Ning entered, Yuezi made sure no one was outside and closed the door again.
