What Xu Qing admires most about Jiang He is that when she encounters something she has never seen or heard, she will think: Oh, there is such a thing. Then you either believe it, or you half-believe it and verify or think about it yourself.

Instead of seeing something you don't know and shouting, "Fake! I've never heard of it when I'm so old!"

It's not scary to know less, just be smart, and not be so stupid as to think that the part of the world he lives in is the whole world, which saves him 80% of the trouble.

"Do it on the street...... So...... Is it normal to be immoral here?"

Passing by the park, Jiang He saw the couple on the bench who were babbling, and asked Xu Qing in a low voice.

"No, that's immorality. "Xu, a single dog, is straightforward.

"Oh, I thought ......"

Jiang He didn't finish speaking, and after getting the answer, he looked away, there was nothing to see when others kissed him.

In all respects, this is a real prosperous age.

"Aren't you very open there?" Xu Qing wondered.

When he was free, he also went to learn about Jiang He's time, which is said to be very open, social pleasure is common, and wine culture is developed.

"Open?" Jiang He asked.

"That's right, that Li Shimin...... You wouldn't be awkward talking about them, would you?"

Seeing Jiang He shaking his head, he continued: "Li Shimin married his sister-in-law, Wu Cao served their father and son successively, and what princess is there, the debate monk...... There are also a lot of poems and words, and I heard that there is also the exchange of concubines. ”

Even explained with analogy, Xu Qingte was curious about the discrepancies, the old man had studied history all his life, if what Jiang He said at this time was completely wrong, those histories were all fake, and it would be a lot of fun.

"I've heard about these things, too. Jiang He said.

"And then?"

"What, then?"

“......”

Xu Qing felt that something was wrong, "So in such an open society, there's no reason why you haven't seen this, right?"

He pointed in the direction behind him, gesturing to the two pouting couples just now.

"What does the matter between the emperor and the officials and scholars' families have to do with me?" Jiang He was strange, and the emperor would not let her observe on the side, nor would he go to the street to do anything with the queen.

“...... I see. ”

Xu Qing understood what the problem was.

Historical materials generally record how such and such a minister was, how a certain emperor was, or how a literati had an affair...... Even the open sign "remarriage" is illustrated by more than 20 princesses.

The openness of the upper class represents the openness of society in the history books.

Maybe the social atmosphere at that time was indeed relatively open, such as remarriage, but that was only relative to the previous dynasties, and it was really not enough to look at it in modern times.

Using the example of the openness of a certain group to generalize is as outrageous as summarizing the erosion of the present era with the task of the master.

Not to mention the unearthed cultural relics or something, they were all dug up from the tomb, and people like Jiang He ......

Xu Qing glanced at Jiang He and remembered the sackcloth and straw shoes she wore when she came.

Let's not talk about whether she has a tomb or not, even if there is a small grave bag, the clothes can't be left now, and the so-called "erotic" clothes that can be excavated are all put in the tomb after the official master is drunk and wants to wait to continue playing.

She is the people.

And the people have always been represented, just like the average income.

"It's not easy to be a ranger, but luckily my wish didn't come true. Xu Qing sighed, what do you go to the Qinglou to listen to songs, eat meat and drink wine, that is just an ideal, maybe you won't be able to eat enough.

"It's interesting to tell me about your life there. ”

He pondered when to pretend to compare with the old man, who said every day that he was not doing his job, and then he would be shocked hard.

"My life...... It's not as interesting as here. Jiang He looked up at the flickering neon lights in the distance, remembered the previous days, and shook his head after a moment.

"You won't like it. ”

"Just listen to the story. ”

Xu Qing smiled at her and walked slowly on the road with a cake.

Life is really wonderful.

Uncle Zhao watched the two of them go out, and came back with a cake, he wanted to say hello, seeing that they were talking happily, he thought about it and closed his mouth without disturbing.

Little Young ...... It's quite romantic.

Walking back home, it was already past six o'clock, it was slightly dark, Xu Qing put the cake on the table, turned his head to look at Jiang He who poured cat food for winter melon, went back to the bedroom and found a lighter, and took out the candle that was sent to light it.

You have to have a full set for your birthday.

"Turn off the lights. Xu Qing waited for her to pour the cat food and said loudly.

"What do you do with the lights off?"

"Just close it, it's called a sense of ceremony. ”

"Oh. ”

Jiang He turned off the light as he said, and the living room fell into darkness, only the faint light of candles scattered on the cake in front of the table reflected Xu Qing's face.

"Come over here and sit down...... Yes, wait a minute, you close your eyes, make a wish, that is, what you want, don't say it, open your eyes when you make a promise, blow out the candle. Xu Qing pulled her to sit down and taught: "You have to blow it all out in one breath...... Isn't that difficult?"

"It's not difficult. Jiang He saw his name written on the birthday cake, and he didn't know what was poked by something, warm, soft, indescribable feeling.

"Okay, make a wish, your first birthday here...... Maybe the first time I've ever remembered it, and it's definitely going to happen. ”

Seeing Jiang He looking at him steadily, Xu Qing couldn't help scratching his chin, "What's wrong?"

"What am I wanting. ”

"Have you thought about it?"

"Hmm. ”

Jiang He closed his eyes and chanted the words.

Xu Qing leaned forward and wanted to eavesdrop, but as soon as he moved, he saw Jiang He open his eyes and look at him.

"Ahem...... Is Xu Qing okay?" Xu Qing was embarrassed, he was already facing each other, and he approached like this as if he was going to do something.

"Okay. ”

"So fast...... Blow out the candles. ”

Xu Qing retracted her expression, pretended to be casual and got up to the door, and when she blew out the candles, she turned on the light, and the living room was bright again.

Jiang He looked at the candle with light smoke and said, "This ceremony is quite strange. ”

"It's passed from foreign devils, it's good to get used to it, and you have to sing a song. ”

Xu Qing hesitated and gave up this link, "It's too embarrassing to sing, let's eat it quickly after making a wish, come, you can cut it." ”

Stuffing the plastic knife into Jiang He's hand, Jiang He looked at the pattern on the cake and the words 'Happy birthday Jiang He, full of happiness', hesitated and asked: "Can you ...... that mobile phone?"

"Mobile phone?" Xu Qing was stunned for a moment and reacted, "Take a picture, bring your mobile phone." ”

Using Jiang He's mobile phone to help her take a photo of the birthday cake, Jiang He took a knife and carefully cut it from the edge, took a piece of cream flower, and handed it to Xu Qing: "Eat it for you first." ”

"Hmm...... Okay, I'll eat this piece, and the rest is yours, so you can eat it hard. ”

Xu Qing didn't refuse, he took his little flower and looked left and right, he didn't immediately eat it, he didn't like sweet and greasy things like cream very much.

Jiang He didn't stop, and with a dexterous stroke, he dug down a piece for himself, and paused for a moment when he smelled the aroma of cream, and suddenly felt a little reluctant to eat.

Enjoying the blessings is a bit of a sin.

"Why don't you eat it?" Xu Qing got up and went to the refrigerator to take out two cans of happy water, opened it and pushed one can, "Happy birthday." ”

"Thank you. ”

Jiang He carefully took a bite of the cake and pursed his lips, tasting it carefully, it was as delicious as what he ate yesterday.

"Don't you think it's too sweet?"

"No, it's delicious. Jiang He showed a look of satisfaction.

That appearance reminded Xu Qing of the first time he ate cream when he was a child, and he seemed to enjoy it like this.

I don't know when it started, I got tired of it, and I don't like it anymore...... Maybe it's eating too much, maybe it's more and more delicacies that compare it to it.

But those happiness have all turned into memories and have been left in a corner of my heart, which is the purest happiness.

"Come, respectfully meet. Xu Qing picked up Coke as wine and touched it with Jiang He.

Jiang He is lucky to come here, why shouldn't he?

Life is just a few decades, and it is not in vain to have this experience of picking up the ancients, and it is also interesting to think about it by chance in the future.

"Hmm. Jiang He raised his head and took a sip of Coke, feeling the bubbles explode in his mouth.

"Respectfully meet. ”

In the brightly lit living room, Xu Qing sat opposite Jiang He across the cake.

Respect for this encounter that spans thousands of years.
