Chapter 37: The Past (2)
A few days later, Hero brought back a crimson dress made of gauze with several pearls nailed to the hem. This was exchanged for a month's bamboo shoot money by Man Rong, and for the sake of his daughter's happiness, he did everything to dress her up as the most beautiful girl in the village.
Zhu'er touched the little pearl on the skirt, was very surprised, and said to her father: "Wow! How much does such a beautiful dress cost?" Man Rong smiled and said, "Girl, you don't care how much it costs, put it on and let your father take a look." ”
Pearls went into the house and put on her skirt, then went back to the courtyard and walked around happily.
She let out a gratified laugh and then asked her father, "Dad, is it pretty?"
Zhu'er was dressed in a red dress, like a bright flower, and Man Rong touched her beard with satisfaction and nodded.
Zhu'er walked up to Man Rong and said:
"Dad, I don't want to go on a blind date. ”
"Why?"
"My daughter doesn't want to get married, she wants to stay with her father all the time. ”
"Silly girl. ”
Zhu'er was dragged by her father to a restaurant, and Man Rong stepped into the door while urging: "Daughter, Zhao Gongzi is waiting inside, hurry up." ”
Manrong took Zhu'er to a side room on the second floor, and as soon as the two of them entered, they saw a tall man standing by the window, with his back to them.
He wore a pale green silk robe, with a bun tied on top of his head, his long hair hanging down to his waist, and two pale green ribbons tied around the bun, which were blown by the wind and fluttered in the air.
Zhu'er thought: Look at this hair, look at this slender waist, if he is a girl, how beautiful it should be!
When the man heard that someone was coming, he immediately turned around, and Zhu'er was very surprised to see that it was Zhu Yuxian who was on a blind date. How could it be him?
Zhu Yuxian looked Zhu'er up and down, she was wearing a red embroidered gauze skirt, simple and elegant, and then looked at her unforgettable bright eyes, the melon seed face was as white and tender as jade. Zhu Yu thought enviously: My bride is so beautiful!
He smiled at Zhu'er and said, "Surprised?" Zhu'er's face was crimson, and she quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Zhu Yuxian waved to the two of them and said, "Uncle Man, Miss Manzhu, the two of you are polite!" Man Rong nodded again and again, and said happily: "Polite and polite, you have a good chat, I'll go back first." ”
After Manrong left, Zhu Yuxian stepped forward and said, "Miss Manzhu, please come and sit here." Pearls sat down.
Zhu Yuxian looked at her while making tea. Zhu'er kept her head down, as if she had something on her mind.
Zhu'er took a sip of tea, and the faint fragrance of tea seemed to be breathtaking. She closed her eyes softly, and images kept coming to her mind of playing games with a little boy in the mountains as a child.
Zhu'er looked up and asked, "Why ......" Zhu Yuxian said, "You want to ask why you don't remember when we were children, right?" Zhu'er nodded, and Zhu Yuxian continued: "Because once you met a jackal in the mountains and then fainted. When I woke up, I forgot about my childhood. ”
"So that's the case, no wonder those pictures appeared. ”
"Actually, Zhao Gongzi is my cousin, and he sent a letter half a month ago, saying that he already has a sweetheart, so let him come to the appointment. ”
When Zhu'er heard his words, her heart hit like a deer. I used to play with him in the mountains, and I never had this strange feeling, how can I ...... today? Manjoo, what's wrong with you?
The two drank tea and did not speak again.
Half an hour later, Zhu Yuxian sent Zhu'er home. Zhu'er walked casually on the street, she kept thinking about what had just happened, she thought it was so strange, why did she suddenly remember what happened when she was a child?
As they walked, an old woman cried out, "Girl, girl, girl in red." When Pearl came back to her senses, she saw an old woman beckoning to her, so she walked over and asked, "Is the old woman calling me?" I think the girl's dress is very beautiful, and if you add a hairpin to embellish it, it will definitely be even more beautiful. ”
Zhu Yuxian picked up a red coral hairpin and handed it to Zhu'er, saying, "Look at this, do you like it?"
The girl's family was born with a special love for ornaments, and Zhu'er was no exception, she nodded. Zhu Yuxian was about to insert a hairpin for her, but Zhu'er looked a little embarrassed, took the hairpin, and said, "I'll just come by myself." ”
After Zhu'er finished speaking, she thrust the hairpin into her head, and the hairpin shook gently on her head, it was so beautiful!
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" said two officials hurrying down the street carrying a corpse.
Zhu Yuxian hurriedly used his body to block Zhu'er's sight.
After the official walked away, Zhu'er said, "I don't know what happened?"
At this time, a middle-aged woman standing next to her said to her: "Girl, the son-in-law of the Zhao family was killed last night." ”
Zhu Yuxian pulled Zhu'er and said, "It's getting late, I'll send you home first." ”
