Chapter 70 Fragrance

Xiuyuan and Maochun had breakfast, but Wang and Mochou did not appear on the table. Xiuyuan picked up the hot porridge and took a sip, "Why don't you see your mother and Mochou?"

Maochun put down the chopsticks and smiled helplessly, "The mother and daughter went out to the embroidery shop early in the morning. When they came back yesterday, your mother kept praising the new embroidery shop how excellent things were. She bought a piece of clothing and looked at them all night. Didn't she go there early in the morning?"

Xiu Yuan also smiled, "That embroidery shop is really good. The purple gray and white dragon gown I bought at her house yesterday is also very exquisite."

"I heard from your mother that I will wear it on my birthday and let it be for my father to see it."

Xiuyuan nodded, and the father and son were talking, butler Li brought in someone, either someone else or his father's friend, Fang Linxian, a famous leader in Tiantai County.

Fang Linxian is a regular visitor to the Li family, so he sat down without hesitation when he came in.

"Why are Brother Lin Xian here?" Maochun hadn't seen him during this period of time, and couldn't help but be surprised, "Why aren't you in the yamen so early?"

"Don't mention it," Fang Linxian waved his hand, "The case broke out early in the morning, and I came here."

"What case? You need to take action yourself." Maochun asked Butler Li to add a pair of bowls and chopsticks to Lin Xian.

"Don't you know that someone died in your town last night?" Fang Linxian picked up the cup and drank a big sip of water. He had been busy early in the morning and was already thirsty before he had time to drink water.

"Human life?" Xiuyuan and Maochun couldn't help but say it at the same time.

"A man died, but his identity has not been found yet. His face is rotten and he can't tell his appearance. His blood is empty and his body is pale." Hearing Fang Linxian's description, Maochun and Xiu Yuan looked at each other, tacitly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and no one had any appetite.

Fang Linxian didn't agree and was still talking, "Looking at the clothes, they were just people in your town, but no one came to the government office to report the case now, so I didn't know who the deceased was for a while. However, based on my figure, I guess it should be an adult man in his thirties. And what's strange is that there is not a lot of things on his body, not like a robbery, but it's still like this way of death. The corpse is like a dead corpse that has been dead for a long time. It's very dry, bloodless, pale, rare. I haven't seen it for so many years." Fang Linxian said while drinking porridge and eating, and it made Xiuyuan and Maochun feel a burst of soreness in his stomach.

"Uh, father, I've finished eating. Uncle Fang, please sit down. I'll go back to the room first." Xiuyuan looked at his father awkwardly. Maochun couldn't eat anymore, but it was difficult to put down the bowls and chopsticks. Xiuyuan stood up and owed his body to leave quickly. Fang Linxian nodded and continued to talk to Maochun.

Xiuyuan returned to the room and was stunned as soon as he entered. The purple gray and white dragon shirt she had obviously packed last night was spread flat on the bed.

He picked up the long robe and looked at it carefully. The clothes were indeed luxurious and couldn't let go, but for some reason Xiuyuan felt strange when he saw it.

He shook his head, folded his clothes again and prepared to put them away. At this moment, he was stunned for a moment, and involuntarily opened his long gown, then put it in. The appropriate tailoring was indeed as if it was tailor-made for him. Xiuyuan felt a moment of trance, and seemed to be blowing in. He closed his eyes and felt his chest tightness. Xiuyuan suddenly woke up, took off his clothes and put them in the cabinet.

Xiuyuan walked out of his room to get some breath. The dizziness made him feel inexplicably tight. He walked out of the door and walked on the corridor and unconsciously came to Mochou's room. The door was half-closed. Xiuyuan stood outside the door and listened to the movement inside. Just as he was thinking whether Mochou had come back, Mochou pushed the door out by himself.

"Xiyuan? Why are you here?" Mo Chou was stunned when he saw Xiuyuan.

"I happened to pass by. My father said that you went to the embroidery shop and you will be back so soon?"

"Yes," Mo Chou immediately smiled when he heard the word "Embroidery Village". Xiu Yuan noticed that Mo Chou, who had always been plain clothes, was wearing a light pink hot-burned white-flowered silk skirt today.

"Mo Chou, your clothes--" Xiu Yuan was still a little uncomfortable for a moment and looked at her with his eyes.

A few blush appeared on Mocho's face, "Is it good? I just picked this. My wife bought me three pieces at once. The clothes from the embroidery shop are so beautiful. My wife and I were so overwhelmed that we couldn't pick them up."

She seemed very happy, and she couldn't help but turn as she spoke. The thin skirt opened up under her rotation. Xiuyuan clearly saw the flowers blooming on it. The moment the wind blew, the flowers seemed to be moving, releasing a faint fragrance.

Mochou pulled Xiuyuan and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see which ones my wife."

Xiuyuan was pulled up by Mochou and left. Mochou walked in front of her. The Luoshang seemed to have life on her body, and it seemed so lively. However, at that moment, Xiuyuan felt a little dizzy again.

Wang also bought a lot of silk skirts, and talked endlessly about how outstanding the clothes in the embroidery shop were.

"If Mo Chou hadn't been to my early trip, those beautiful clothes would have been picked up."

Mo Chou nodded frequently, "Madam's clothes were snatched by luck from Mrs. Xu."

"No, there is also this one on Mochou. A lady from unknown family also likes it. Fortunately, we are quick-witted."

The two of them were very happy when they said one by one. Xiuyuan looked at their rare expressions and for some reason, he always felt that his mother and Mochou were particularly excited today.

The mother and daughter seemed to be immersed in the joy of buying their beloved clothes. Xiuyuan's thoughts had already floated out, and Mochou pushed him, "Where is your long gown? Why don't you wear it?"

Xiuyuan came back to his senses, "Oh, I'm not used to it. I'm used to plain clothes and cloth clothes. I'd better put away the clothes and wear them on some grand days."

"Xuyuan, I will take you to choose a few more items one day. Look at what you wear in plain clothes on weekdays, and you have ruined such a good figure. The young masters from other families dress themselves up in extreme luxury. Only you make them look like a Buddhist disciple." Wang approached his son, put his hand on Xiuyuan's shoulder, and Xiuyuan smelled the familiar fragrance again.

"Mother, did you use any spices?" Xiuyuan had never smelled this smell of his mother.

Wang shook his head, "No, I'm useless."

"Did you use it? Mochou?" Xiuyuan then looked at her. Mochou shook his head and then smelled himself, "No, I'm useless, how can I smell it?"

The two of them didn't care, and the next moment they started discussing their respective clothes. Xiuyuan felt a little strange that he couldn't say, so he told his mother some of them and walked out.

Xiuyuan didn't know why this strange fragrance was the only one he could smell. He was surprised and walked out of the Li family and unconsciously came to Tiantai Mountain.

Unyu opened her eyes, and she could feel the breath of Xiuyuan even while sitting in the cave. Unyu's mouth curled a charming smile and quickly stood up and walked down the mountain.

Xiuyuan is becoming more and more familiar with Tiantai Mountain. Every road and every tree is always passing through here.

"Xiuyuan," I saw Xiuyuan's light green clothes from afar, and his familiar figure, and waved his hand and stepped forward.

Xiuyuan saw it and smiled. The two met in the middle of the forest. Tiantai Mountain in the morning was different from the night. There was no gloom or fog. There was all kinds of birds singing happily in the slightly humid air.

Xiuyuan saw the unswerving eyes as clear as water. They were only a rare eye in the world. Perhaps humans would not have such beautiful eyes as Jianshui, "Have I disturbed you?"

Buyu shook his head quickly, "No, I just didn't expect you to come, so early."

Xiuyuan didn’t know why. Life was too much about him, so he followed the rules. He pursed his lips, “I’ll see you.”

The embarrassment was only at that moment, and she unswervingly guided Xiuyuan to the mountain. Along the way, she heard birds crying one after another. Xiuyuan raised her head and the dense forest blocked most of the sunlight.

"Autumn is coming, how do you spend the winter?" A mountain wind blew, and Xiuyuan felt a little chill.

"We are not afraid of the cold," Buyu smiled suddenly, "but the animals in the forest have become more miserable in winter."

Xiuyuan nodded thoughtfully and saw something moving in front of him. He walked up and saw a yellow bird with not yet plump feathers, flapping its wings and struggling on the ground.

"It's a little bird," Xiuyuan carefully lifted the bird up, looked up at the treetops, and there was a bird's nest on the higher branches.

"It may have fallen from the tree," Buyu walked over and looked at Xiu Yuan carefully holding it, "It seems that he was injured."

Xiuyuan nodded, "I have to take it back and keep it here for a short time."

Buyu smiled, "What should I do if the bird mother can't find it?"

"I'll send it back after winter," Xiu Yuan took off his coat and folded it into a nest to wrap the bird up.

"Xiyuan, do you know what kind of bird this is?"

Xiuyuan smiled, "Dujuan? What's wrong?"

"A cuckoo will give birth to children in other people's nests and don't build their own nests. When the bird hatches from the eggs, it will kick other bird eggs away and smash them to pieces and take over the breastfeeding of its adoptive parents. Do you know this?"

Xiu Yuan still smiled as he touched the trembling little guy, "I know this."

"Do you still want to save it? Such a bad reputation." Buyu blinked.

"Of course, occupying the magpies' nest is their way of survival. We cannot use our moral definition to define how animals should survive. The morality, Confucianism, law, or our own beliefs in the world are enough to restrain themselves. If it falls down, I will save you. No matter whether it is a cuckoo or a more vicious bird." Xiuyuan's index finger gently rubbed against the plush bird's head, as if giving the warmest touch.

Unswervingly, I suddenly laughed. Cultivating fate is cultivating fate, and he has always been like this.

"By the way, have you been to my place last night?" Xiu Yuan turned his head and looked at him.

Buyu was stunned for a moment, and a shy blush instantly floated on her cheeks, and she nodded awkwardly.

Xiuyuan suddenly laughed, "Why didn't you call me up?"

"I can't disturb you when I see you sleeping," Buyu lowered his head, shy as if he was a girl.
