The ex-husband is officially on the scene~ The exciting stories will be presented one by one, don’t be stingy with your votes, give more to Xiao Sheng~(づ￣3￣)づ╭~—— ——- In March, the grass grows, the flowers bloom, and the scent of flowers and herbs floats in the air
It is the best time of the year
People love peonies, and the peonies of Luoyang, the capital of the Zhou Empire, are famous all over the world
There were many peony lovers in Dingzhou City
Those who were rich and luxurious often built peony gardens as an elegant thing to do
The Ling family’s peony garden is very famous in Dingzhou, with dozens of famous peonies of different colors
This year, they even planted the newest variety of compound-color peonies, which blossomed in March, a month earlier than the usual flowering period, and became famous for a while
Many people were curious and sent invitations to enjoy the flowers
As Old Madam Ling’s birthday was approaching, the whole house was busy preparing for the birthday banquet and had no time to treat the guests, so they politely declined the invitation
In this way, but more curious people, have secretly inquired which florist planted out
When they learned that it was the ninth young lady of the Ling family who had planted the peonies with her wonderful hands, Ling Jingshu’s reputation became more and more famous in Dingzhou City
Ling Jingshu had been recuperating in the Autumn Water Pavilion these days, so she naturally did not know about this
Even if she did know, she would not take it to heart
After experiencing all the pain and suffering in her previous life, she had been humiliated and died
Now reborn back, she is no longer the previous carefree maiden
All she could think about was how to take revenge, where else would she have the leisure to pay attention to these false names
There were three florists in the peony garden, which covered an area of about ten acres
There were three florists in the peony garden, as well as some underlings doing chores
Seeing Ling Jingshu entering the garden, each of them lightened their hands and quietly retreated
It was not yet the peony blossom season, and the peonies in the garden had not yet opened As far as the eye could see, there were lush foliage and buds of different colors dotted among them, which gave a unique charm to the garden
Ling Jingshu walked slowly along the path, her eyes wandering casually, her mood gradually relaxing
Bai Yu followed behind Ling Jingshu and said with a smile, “Miss, the compound-colored peony you grafted last year has already bloomed
Miss has been staying in the Autumn Water Pavilion these days and hasn’t seen it with her own eyes yet!”
Ling Jingshu stretched her brows and the corners of her lips lifted, “Good, I’ll go take a look”
Large areas were planted with ordinary peony varieties, and most of the truly famous peonies were potted
Peonies of rare varieties were carefully cultivated using division, grafting, cuttings, pressing and many other methods
Ling Jingshu had loved peonies since she was a child, and she had specially learned the method of peony cultivation from a skillful florist
She was very skillful and talented, and in just a few years, she had become better than the blue
In the northeast corner of the garden, there were many famous peonies, such as White Jade, Jingyu, Ink Anemone, Yao Huang and so on
Most of the big maids in the Ling residence were named after them
In addition to reading and practicing the qin, Ling Jingshu spent almost all of 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 pot of precious and rare compound-colored peony was commonly known as Er Qiao, also known as Luoyang Brocade
The preciousness of the Luoyang brocade lies in the fact that it produces flowers of two different colors on the same branch
Not only are the flowers of different colors, but the leaves on both sides of the branch are also completely different
It is as if two completely different peonies have grown into one
It was breathtaking
The pinkish-white flowers were elegant, the fuchsia flowers were delicate and bright, and the flowers were as big as the mouth of a bowl, the petals were warm and thick, and the color was gorgeous and complex
The emerald green leaves shone with an emerald color
Ling Jingshu bent down slightly, and the refreshing aroma greeted her, refreshing her heart
She breathed deeply and closed her eyes as the ethereal aroma was inhaled into her belly
The corners of her lips lifted high
The sudden sound of footsteps broke the silence
Who was it?
Ling Jingshu did not stand up straight, only slightly sideways
The bright and dazzling afternoon sunlight fell on her delicate and glossy jade-like face, her dark eyes sparkled with overflowing colors like jewels, and a wisp of mischievous hair hung gently on the side of her face
The smile on her rosy lips is not yet converged, like a flower blooming
The brightly colored and beautiful peonies did not take away her grace, and a smile was enough to make all the flowers pale in comparison
All this beauty was not real, like a dream
The brocade-clothed boy who suddenly appeared stood frozen in place, forgetting to take a step
Eyes firmly staring at the young girl in the flowers, unable to move away
The young man’s heart, which had never budged over the years, was thumping fast at this moment
Against the light, Ling Jingshu did not see the face of the visitor for a moment
But in the past few years, this person’s appearance had long been deeply engraved in her heart, without a moment or forget
Like a thunderclap, in an instant, hot blood rushed to her mind
Lu Hong!
How dare you still appear in front of me!
How do you still have the face to see me!
Obviously only a short moment, time was like standing still, frozen in this moment
Bai Yu coughed gently and broke the silence in a low voice, “Miss, this should be the Lu family’s cousin young master”
The inner garden of the Ling residence was not something that anyone could enter
Even though he was an unfamiliar face, he casually stepped in, and it was obviously the Lu family’s cousin young master Lu Hong that Ling Jingxian was talking about
The young man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slender figure, wearing a light blue brocade coat, sword brows and starry eyes, a nose like a hanging gall, lips like danzhu, and a face like a crown of jade
Ling Xiao was also extremely well born, but compared to the young man in front of him, there was less of that look of divine splendor
No wonder Ling Jingxian disregarded the girl’s reserved face and begged her own master
This table young master, really is one in a thousand beautiful young man
Bai Yu secretly marveled in her heart, but when her gaze landed on Ling Jingshu’s face, she couldn’t help but be stunned
The expression was stiff and the gaze was cold
It wasn’t like meeting an honored guest, but rather like meeting an undying enemy Bai Yu, let’s go!”
Ling Jingshu forced herself to lower her eyelids, not a hint of impropriety could be heard in her bland tone
Bai Yu hesitated slightly and said in a low voice, “Miss, since we’ve met, it’s better to say hello!
It seems a bit rude to just leave like that”
The visitor was a guest!
What’s more, this cousin young master was the first son of the Lu family’s eldest house, his status was honorable
Even if it was for Ling’s face, he couldn’t be neglected
Otherwise, if Old Mrs Ling knew about it, she would not be pleased in her heart
These words, Bai Yu didn’t need to say them out loud, Ling Jingshu also knew them by heart
This hesitation, Lu Hong has already come over
Even if she wanted to avoid it, she couldn’t!
Ling Jingshu fixed her mind and raised her eyes to look over
Lu Hong’s appearance was excellent, and his temperament was even more outstanding
When he walked, he did not walk too fast or too slow, and his demeanor was graceful
It was this demeanor that captivated the noble princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty
Willing to bear the reputation of taking someone’s husband, but also want to keep him in the princess residence I’ve seen both cousins in the Ling Mansion, you must be Cousin Shu from the fifth house!”
Lu Hong stopped two meters away, clasped his hands, and performed an equal salute, “My surname is Lu, with a single name, Hong
You can just call me Cousin Hong”
Warm and courteous, with a graceful demeanor
The etiquette was thorough and impeccable
In comparison, Ling Jingshu’s reaction was much colder, very casually returning the salute, “So it’s Cousin Lu”
The barely perfunctory look on her face was clearly visible
Lu Hong touched a soft nail, but did not get angry
His slightly eager gaze settled on Ling Jingshu’s unusually cold face, “My second brother and I came to the Ling family with my mother as guests, and when we heard that Cousin Shu was ill, we never had the chance to see her, and we were very sorry in our hearts
Today, I finally got to see cousin Shu”
While saying this, he was secretly chagrined in his heart
How could he have wasted three days for nothing?
He should have gone to visit her on the first day of his arrival
That way, he could have gotten acquainted with her earlier as well
That familiar look made Ling Jingshu’s deathly suppressed resentment and hatred stir in her chest again
Day after day of waiting, day after day of despair, struggling through endless humiliation and pain
Waiting day and night for him to return and save her from the fire
But waiting for, but he negative heart another embrace of the bad news
How much she loved him then, how much she hated him later
How could she possibly be able to maneuver around him as if nothing had happened?
She couldn’t wait to have a sharp blade in her hand to poke into his chest!
Lu Hong was immersed in inexplicable excitement and elation, and for a moment he did not notice Ling Jingshu’s silence, and smiled as he continued, “On the first day of my arrival, I heard my grandmother talk about you
I heard that you are good at cultivating famous peonies, and that you have even planted multi-colored peonies
Today, I went to the family school to observe the lessons, and after lunch, I had half an hour’s rest
I went to the garden to enjoy the flowers
I didn’t expect to meet you here”
Lu Hong waited for a few moments, did not see Ling Jingshu speak, finally realized that something was wrong, and then met Ling Jingshu’s cold and hostile eyes, his heart became more and more puzzled
It was the first time the two had met
He was polite in every way, and did not dare to surprise her
Why was her attitude so unfavorable?Cousin Shu,” Lu Hong pushed down the confusion in his heart and tried his best to show his best manners, “I have loved peonies since I was young, and the Lu family has planted quite a number of famous peonies, only that this compound-colored peony is not easy to plant
I wonder if I can ask Cousin Shu to give me a few pointers?”
If you’ve been instructed once, you can shamelessly ask for advice a second time
Ling Jingshu refused with an expressionless face; “This is my unique and secret art, and I never spread it out”
Lu Hong: “” The smile on Lu Hong’s face froze
Growing up, he had encountered quite a few boudoir maidens
Or shy with timid, or dignified and polite, there are also bold some, to him implicitly looking at him with affection
Like today this active accosting good but touch a nose, or the first time in his life
Embarrassed, embarrassed, angry, chagrined
I want to brush my sleeve away, but I can not move my feet
All kinds of complex emotions are intertwined together, so that the high-minded and proud young master of the Lu family froze on the spot, and did not know how to react for a moment
Ling Jingshu ruthlessly took a bite out of her heart, her heart only felt very pleased, faintly commanded, “Bai Yu, let’s go back”
Saying that, without even looking at Lu Hong, she walked past him
Bai Yu was flabbergasted, and busily chased after him
Only Lu Hong was left, standing dumbfounded in place, watching the beautiful woman’s slender and moving but cold and heartless figure go away
