Chapter 114 Beauty and Spring
"That's good too." Upon hearing this, Dai Sheng sat down again.
After lunch, Jiang Yubai left the capital. Dai Sheng was reluctant to let him go and saw him off at the Ten-Li Pavilion.
"Brother Jiang, I don't know when we will meet again..."
Jiang Yubai was helpless, "Dai Buzun, go back and do your job, and then you can accompany your wife and children."
He was going to see his sweetheart, and this guy Dai Bu Su had delayed his trip.
Dai Sheng watched him gradually disappear from sight, and looked at the attendant beside him, "Does he think I'm nagging?"
The attendant looked down at his toes and did not answer.
The attendant was Dai Sheng's former servant, so he naturally knew Jiang Yubai. Whenever he met him, his master would become a chatterbox and talk about everything.
It is indeed a bit annoying and nagging.
Wuchuan is close to the capital, and Jiang Yubai arrived at Liuchun City early the next morning.
The Ying River flows through the city, with clouds and trees surrounding the embankment.
The painted bridge with willows in the smoke, the green curtains with draperies in the wind, the peach and plum trees forming a path, the orioles singing in the spring, the swallows chirping in the spring.
Jiang Yubai stepped onto the bridge, with his hands behind his back, and looked around. The pedestrians were all walking slowly in search of spring, and together with the spring water and flowers, they formed the scenery of Liuchun City.
This is her hometown.
The soft joints made a sound, someone climbed onto the bridge, and landed on the other side, her spring skirt fluttering in the wind.
Jiang Yubai seemed to sense something and turned around to look. The woman opposite smiled at him, her eyes were bright and her face was smooth.
A peach blossom fell from her head and served as a hair ornament. She was dressed in a Sumei dress, more splendid than a peach tree.
Jiang Yubai strode towards her, stopped in front of her, lowered his eyes, and said, "Qing Ran, long time no see."
Hua Qingran raised his head slightly and looked at him, "Sir, you should just see the painting. I knew it was you when I saw you from a distance."
"Jiang Yubai, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Jiang Yubai's heartbeat stopped for a moment. He held his breath and raised his hand to pluck the petals from her head.
"Are you waiting for me?" He tried hard to suppress his inner excitement and joy.
"Ah."
"Take me around Liuchun City?"
She blinked slightly, raised her hand, palm facing up, and said, "Okay."
Jiang Yubai gently placed the petals in his hand on her palm, "It looks very beautiful."
She turned sideways, put her hands behind her back, and walked forward, "What's good to see?"
"Beauty is as beautiful as spring, three times better than youth." Jiang Yubai followed beside her, hesitated for a while, and said.
I want to praise her in the best way possible, but I'm afraid of offending her and making her feel frivolous.
Passersby on the road glanced sideways, sighing in their hearts at the beautiful youth and the talented men and beautiful women.
Hua Qingran glanced at him, hiding her thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Jiang Yubai, do you have any words?"
"Nothing."
"Then I'll give you a name?"
Jiang Yubai was slightly stunned, his mind was a little confused, his eyebrows were gentle, and he said, "Okay."
"How about your calligraphy being ink?"
"it is good."
Walking into the long forest, the garden is full of spring colors, red and green in varying shades, and the crabapples are intoxicated.
Jiang Yubai put his hands behind his back, looked at her standing among the crabapples, and asked, "Qingran, what do you think of monsters?"
She broke off a branch of crabapple and replied, "There are good and bad people, and there are good and evil monsters. Look at everything in two parts, don't generalize. How I view people is how I view monsters."
Jiang Yubai's brows relaxed slightly.
She walked up to him, smelling like a crabapple, "Jiang Yubai, what kind of demon are you?"
"Jiao."
She laughed, "So you are the king of Yingshan? I praised you that day and you responded without changing your expression."
"Ah."
"That's good. I don't like people being overly modest. This is good." She asked again, "I don't know how old you are. Are you really not lying to me?"
"I only know that I have lived for more than 500 years. I really can't remember the exact number of years," Jiang Yubai explained.
"Oh, I see. Do you want to come to my house?"
"May I?"
"I've already asked it, and you're still asking if it's okay, Jiang Yubai. You're a little silly today."
Jiang Yubai did not deny that when he met her who could touch his heart, he carefully tried to get closer to her, but he was afraid that she would get bored.
"Is your family at home?"
"There are only three of us in the family. My parents are away on a journey and have not returned yet. Now I am the only one left. They came back home during the Lantern Festival, but when they saw that I was not at home, they left a letter and went out again." Hua Qingran came out to buy breakfast today, but did not expect to meet him.
She took him to the wonton stand she often visited, "Boss, give me two bowls of wontons to take away. Why don't you see me today?"
"Okay! Hua girl, wait a moment! Your aunt is visiting relatives today and won't be here." The boss looked at Hua Qingran, then glanced behind her with a teasing look, "Who is this? I've never seen her in the neighborhood."
"A friend I met not long ago, came to play with me." Hua Qingran glanced at Jiang Yubai and replied with a smile.
Jiang Yubai looked away slightly. She liked to laugh very much, and her laughter made his heart flutter.
Don't want to be friends.
When it was time to pay, Jiang Yubai handed over the copper coins and said, "I'll pay."
Hua Qingran nodded and didn't argue with him.
Following her into the door, Jiang Yubai briefly looked around the yard before retracting his gaze and taking out two small packages from his treasure bag. "I bought these flower cakes and spicy beef jerky when I came here."
She took it with a smile and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard. "You know how to capture my stomach. Put the wontons here. I'll go to the kitchen to get chopsticks. You sit down first."
Jiang Yubai sat upright on a stone bench, with pear blossoms blooming above his head.
Hua Qingran took out the chopsticks and handed him a pair. "Here, eat. I've been eating from this stall since I was a child. It tastes good."
"Okay." Jiang Yubai took the chopsticks, lowered his eyes and had breakfast with her.
"Jiang Yubai, how long are you going to stay in Liuchun City?"
"I don't know. Can I follow you?" Jiang Yubai looked straight into her eyes.
Hua Qingran was slightly stunned. "Of course, there is an empty guest room at home. You can stay here. I want to stay at home for a while longer."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Jiang Yubai smiled slightly, lowered his head to untie the rope wrapped around the pastry, and placed it on the plate she brought out.
Hua Qingran pinched a piece of flower cake and turned back to get cinnabar and a pen.
During this period of time, the number of evil monsters she encountered on the road suddenly increased, and there was a monster catcher who attacked her. It was obvious that he came with malicious intentions towards her, so she used up her talisman paper very quickly.
She had checked and found that the demon catcher should be from the Lin family in the capital.
She had seen the Lin family before. They were not good people. They had bad luck on their foreheads and their hands seemed to be stained with a lot of blood.
Well, they want to kill her, and her letter of complaint is already on the way to the capital.
When she came back with the things, Jiang Yubai asked, "Do you need me to help you draw?"
Hua Qingran pushed the plate to him, "Come on."
Jiang Yubai picked up the pen and started writing.
She lay down on the rocking chair in the yard and looked at him sideways.
The spring breeze blows her black hair, and pear blossoms fall all over her body, three times whiter than snow.
He looks really good.
Hua Qingran looked away, watching the dissolving clouds immersing in the sun and the kites in the distant sky.
Jiang Yubai drew a talisman, looked at her, and then lowered his head to continue drawing.
When all the yellow paper was used up, he walked over to her and squatted slightly, "It's done."
Hua Qingran looked at him, stretched out her hand to him, and smiled, "Pull me?"
Jiang Yubai stood up straight, gently grasped her wrist, pulled her up, and then let go.
The tentacles felt warm, smooth and delicate, and he didn't want to let go.
"Jiang Yubai, your body temperature has dropped again."
"Well, it was a special period and the body temperature would change." He picked the fallen pear blossoms off her body.
Hua Qingran's eyelashes trembled. The distance was too ambiguous, and his breath was close to her nose.
After picking all the pear blossoms, Jiang Yubai leaned over and made eye contact with her, "Qing Ran, do you have someone you like?"
Perhaps it was because the spring scenery was too charming, or perhaps it was because the pear blossoms were too fragrant, so he asked.
