Chapter 93: "Who is causing trouble?"...
Zhao Kuo glanced at Wen Yu who was sitting below him. He saw that this girl had a bad look on her face and didn't look like a good person. She was really a person who couldn't hold two taels of sesame oil in her stomach.
"Ah... I have nothing to say. You... please go first." Wen Yu quickly came back to her senses and made up an excuse.
Zhao Kuo glanced at her sideways, no longer idly discussing her. No matter what she was thinking, she couldn't escape his grasp. With so many brothers and associates, was he really afraid she'd run away? Zhao Kuo paused, then stepped through the gate of Xianchun Cottage.
Wen Yu exchanged a glance with Shen Sheng, who was standing beside her. Shen Sheng cheerfully advised, "Madam Wen, although it's not very nice to enter the house without permission, um..."
He seemed to be struggling inside, and probably there was a wonderful scene of the struggle between his conscience and his desires in his mind. But seeing that the brothers behind him had passed him and entered the yard one after another, Shen Sheng seemed to have no choice but to accept this fact.
"At least we have a place to rest. It's much better than sleeping in the open air at the foot of the mountain." Shen Sheng stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Wen Yu should go first.
"Why don't you go in and rest for a while?"
Wen Yu let out a long breath, and her delicate shoulders couldn't help but droop. Hearing Shen Sheng say this, she had to suppress her displeasure and walked towards the inner courtyard.
It just so happened that she had only sat in the front yard for one night and had not yet had a good time walking around the Xianchun Cottage. This could be considered an opportunity for sightseeing, Wen Yu thought humorously.
She really knows how to find joy in adversity.
When Wen Yu entered the yard, he did not see the brothers and servants who had followed Zhao Kuo before.
When she asked, she found out that the days of staying up late were too much for the body to bear, even the strong men could not handle it, so as soon as those people entered the door, they scattered like birds and beasts, looking for rooms to rest.
Wen Yu was shocked by the news. How could these people be so relaxed in other people's homes? They were even more comfortable than in their own homes.
Just as Wen Yu was stunned, Shen Sheng, who came in with her, spoke.
"Madam Wen, I see you're exhausted too. Why don't you go inside and find a suitable room to rest for a while?"
Shen Sheng was a little embarrassed. As a half-educated man, he naturally knew that it was inappropriate to take things without asking or come uninvited, but...
But Brother Zhao had already led the other brothers in, and it would be awkward for him to just stand outside with his neck stiff. After thinking it over, he could only go along with the crowd.
He was still feeling a bit tormented, but as a real man, he should be brave enough to take responsibility for his actions. Now that he had already done this, he should stop pretending.
One should not be greedy, always wanting to have more. Integrity and practicality cannot be achieved at the same time, and one must give up one.
Now that you're here, don't think about it anymore.
Shen Sheng thought that Wen Yu was struggling with this, so he wanted to comfort her and persuade her to rest.
But how could Wenyu listen? Even though Shen Sheng said so much, Wenyu only listened to it in a hurry.
A house, a suitable house...
Wen Yu suddenly remembered something and thought to herself, "This Xianchun cottage has many courtyards inside and outside, and even more rooms, but the one at the back, called Yuechuyuan, seems to be Song Linsheng's bedroom."
Since Zhao Kuo and his group had entered Xianchun Cottage, she had no other choice.
It was fine if it was just a nearby house, they could rest or stay overnight there, whatever they wanted. But Song Linsheng's Yuechu Garden couldn't be allowed to go in and destroy it.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu started to run as fast as she could. She had heard Song Linsheng talk about it before, and only knew roughly that Yuechu Garden was at the end, but her exact location was not very clear.
She had to rush to Yuechuyuan before these people and guard Song Linsheng's bedroom.
"Hey..." Shen Sheng was a little confused when he saw this, so he just followed slowly, "Madam Wen, Madam Wen, where are you going?"
Although it was not his intention, Brother Zhao had specifically told him to keep an eye on Madam Wen. Although he did not want to tie Madam Wen up, he could not let her out of his sight.
So Shen Sheng jogged all the way, following Wen Yu slowly and leisurely.
He didn't follow closely, as long as Madam Wen was within his sight, it was fine. As for... as for if she did something else.
Shen Sheng paused, and a voice in his heart said calmly, "Let her do it over there. Just pretend... I didn't see it."
…
It was obvious that a lot of thought had been put into the renovation of this Xianchun cottage. Even the style of the archways leading in and out of the courtyard was different from that of the Song residence in Jiangyang Prefecture.
The courtyard of the Song residence is filled with various flowers, which bloom in full splendor and colors under the clear spring sun.
However, there are very few flowers and plants planted in this Xianchun cottage, and there is no pink color. When passing by the yard, there is only one tree of unknown origin, which is very tall and has flat and round leaves in clusters.
Wen Yu didn't recognize it at first, but the moment she saw the tree, a name suddenly popped up in her mind -
Hovenia dulcis.
It seems to be called this name. Song Linsheng once said that there was a Hovenia dulcis tree in the courtyard of Xianchun Cottage, and that the fruit of this tree can be used to sober up.
Thinking of Song Linsheng's words, Wen Yu felt relieved, and finally she was no longer as depressed and dull as before.
Song Linsheng was like the wind in July, blowing away the sticky heat and making people feel comfortable and cool, just like the feeling he usually gave people.
Going further ahead, it should be Song Linsheng’s Yuechuyuan.
The small door was hidden among the yellow and green bushes. When Wen Yu got closer, she could see clearly that the trees, where the green and yellow colors overlapped, were full of plump and round fruits.
It's loquat.
It is now past March, and the hibiscus is in full bloom. The green fruits are clustered on the branches like jade beads, dotted with orange and yellow petals, and the branches are bent under the weight of the fruits.
I'm afraid they will be ripe in a few days, which is a good time to eat loquats.
So Song Linsheng likes to eat loquats?
Wen Yu thought to himself, no wonder he had seen the poem "A cluster of gold under the glass leaves, picked up with slender hands to smell the fragrance" in his books.
There are many magnolias in Song's house, but I didn't expect that loquats are the most common in Xianchun Cottage.
The loquat's leaves are lush green, with clear, strong veins, radiating endless vitality. They are indeed different from other flowers and plants, which always look weak and powerless, unable to withstand the wind and rain.
This tree planted here contrasts perfectly with Song Linsheng.
The sound of the wind, carrying the faint fragrance of loquats, gradually moved away from Wen Yu, and Wen Yu also walked to the gate of Yuechuyuan.
The distant door was tightly closed, and it seemed that no one had ever been there.
Wen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but relax.
It was good that no one was there, but she still had to go in and take a look to feel at ease.
…
You never know until you see it. Once you see it...
Wen Yu's throat moved slightly, not knowing how to describe the scene before her.
The room was filled with a faint fragrance, the same kind of fragrance she used in Guanwu Garden. It must be that Song Linsheng's bedroom was quite nice.
But Wen Yu never expected that what she saw was a tilted screen lying on the ground, scattered clothes, and broken teacups on the floor.
At this moment, the tightly closed doors and messy inner rooms of Yuechuyuan were like a bottomless pool of water, with a turbulent undercurrent below and a calm lake above.
Wen Yu glanced around and her eyes opened wider and wider.
Could this have been robbed?
She turned around in confusion. The courtyard gate and the house door were clearly closed when she came. Why were they so messy now?
Wen Yu's ears moved slightly. She didn't hear any other noise in the room, so she thought there was no one else there.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Although she felt a little confused, she suddenly remembered the last time Song Linsheng came in to change clothes.
Could it be Song Linsheng...
Wen Yu's thought had barely escaped her mind when she choked it down. How could it be possible? How could someone as particular as Song Linsheng tolerate such a mess in his inner chambers?
Even if he didn't have time to clean up the place at that time, he would definitely send someone to clean it up later.
What's more, Wen Yu thought about it and didn't even think that this was Song Linsheng's work. He was not a sloppy person.
After thinking about it, Wen Yu still couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation. She simply waved her hands and folded her sleeves, revealing a pair of white jade-like arms.
Since she is here, she might as well help him clean up.
Although she didn't have any magical powers to help her, and couldn't easily put the clothes back in place, she put them in order a little bit, at least putting them in the closet.
Wen Yu thought so and really took a step forward.
However, she had just bent down to pick up a moon-white dress and held it in her arms. Before she could make any other moves, she paused.
She lowered her eyes and stared at the robe in her hands for a long time, as if she was thinking of something.
Song Linsheng...did he tell her when he came to Xianchun Cottage to change clothes because he was wet?
It was said that Xianchun Cottage had just been cleaned up, and there were not many clothes left, only a sky-blue outer robe.
It happened to be made of the same material as the clothes Wen Yu wore that day, both were sky blue, very elegant and exquisite.
Wen Yu came back to her senses and looked at the clothes in her hands again. She couldn't help but pinch it. The fabric felt cold and silky, with dark patterns dotted on it. The moonlight-like color spread out in front of Wen Yu, making her feel as if she was in a dream.
She turned around and glanced at the inner room. There were a lot of clothes lying all over the floor, including all kinds of clothes inside and out.
But why did Song Linsheng say that the only thing left here was that sky-blue robe...
Wen Yu was puzzled. Could it be that he rarely stayed in Xianchun Cottage and knew little about the storage of items in this inner room? Or, it was because Song Linsheng had told Uncle Song about this matter last time, and Uncle Song had later sent these many clothes.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu suddenly felt enlightened and seemed very satisfied with what he said.
I never even thought about whether Song Linsheng did it on purpose.
After she figured it out, Wen Yu stopped worrying about it. She quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and shoved them in her arms. She was fine with collecting clothes, but organizing them was beyond her ability.
She embraced the dress and walked around the screen, which fell to the ground. It was embroidered with pictures of green phoenix trees and distant mountains. Wen Yu glanced at it and felt an inexplicable joy in her heart.
Song Linsheng truly loves the phoenix tree. Not only is the Song residence's courtyard named after the phoenix tree, but even the screen in the Yuechu Garden is embroidered with a green phoenix tree pattern.
Wen Yu tried hard to suppress the tears that were about to rise from her lips, and walked around the screen as if nothing had happened, heading towards the closet.
But before her hand touched the corner of the wardrobe, the door suddenly creaked, startling her.
“Who is causing trouble?”
