Chapter 8: The Crown Princess
It was night, and the gates of Qingshui Town had been tightly closed. But I saw two dexterous shadows jumping up and gently falling on the roof of the city tower, staring at the lights of the hundred houses in the city when the wind was blowing.
"He's coming." The man on the left turned to look at the woman beside him.
"I ...... You take care. The woman bowed her head slightly, her eyes dodging to the side.
"Alas, you have no conscience. Can I really stop you? Take this bracelet away, far away, I'm afraid I won't be able to sense you. The man turned over and took out a jade bracelet with a pale cyan body and no carving, and handed it to the woman.
"You...... Alas...... Brother, I'm sorry......" The woman bit her lower lip slightly, reluctant to take it.
"If you really fall for me, you have to say sorry to me." The man gently picked up the woman's wrist, passed the jade bracelet through the woman's five fingers, and stopped at the wrist.
The woman said no more, and both of them looked silently at the quiet night of the town. In the distance, a dark bird flew and landed on the eaves of the city tower, and there was no sound.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Wan silently opened the door of Sangwan and cleaned the dirt at the door of the store. The tavern was closed for a few days, and finally reopened, Ye Wan suddenly felt that the recovery of his lost memories was really not a momentary effort, and life still had to go by slowly.
Cleaning room, found that near the side of the road, set up a new stall, on which are some beautiful calligraphy and paintings, it seems that it is not from the hands of famous artists, so although the people who pass by stop to watch a lot, there are not many people who really ask the price and want to buy home. The owner of the stall should be a poor scholar from a poor family, and the clothes on his body look like they have been washed many times, and the corners are slightly white. Seeing that the scholar's appearance is not outstanding, but his behavior and posture are very magnanimous, and his brows seem to have been wrinkled like this for many years, and there is already a mark, which seems to have added a lot of perseverance and forbearance to the scholar's delicate face.
The scholar seemed to be accustomed to this kind of business, and took the book and looked into it heavily.
Ye Wan saw that this scholar was very special, so he put down the broom in his hand and closed Sang Wan again. Walking straight to the scholar's stall, these calligraphy and paintings are indeed extraordinary, all of them reveal a magnificent and far-reaching beauty, and the pen is vigorous, and it is really not like the work of this weak scholar. Ye Wan sighed in his heart: This person must not be a thing in the pool.
"Sir, I see that you are good at calligraphy, can you write a plaque for the shop?" The price is negotiable. ”
The scholar raised his head from the book, saw that it was a well-behaved girl, was a little surprised, and said calmly: "Okay." I looked up at the plaque that Sang Wan had now, but it wasn't the time to change it, I heard that this woman was picking up her father's tavern, so she must have wanted to change the plaque and change the state of the tavern.
"Sir, don't worry, I'm not in a hurry for this plaque, just write it and send it over." Ye Wan thought about asking this scholar to write a plaque for himself, and he happened to give this scholar a little savings.
"Step-step-" The group of guards that Ye Wan saw when he came back from Cuiyun Temple yesterday were holding a portrait of a woman on the street and asking the vendors on the street. When the vendors saw the portrait, they all pointed to the portrait and knew who it was. But the guard asked a few more questions, but his face was embarrassed. In the distance, a guard on horseback came, and as if he was in a hurry, he turned over and dismounted, whispered something to the leader of the guards in the street, and then rode back in the direction from which he came. I saw that the leading guards sighed with relief, explained to the group of guards, and the group also ran in the direction of the horse.
Ye Wan watched the crowd walk away, said to the scholar, and turned back to Sangwan.
Outside the door, several children ran after each other, shouting, "The prince is coming!" The prince is here to marry his daughter-in-law! Ye Wan was very curious, and hurriedly grabbed a child and asked, "What did you just say?" ”
The child said mischievously: "You don't know this, my father told me that when he saw the prince of the county yesterday, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed." ”
"Then how do you marry a daughter-in-law?"
"Yesterday, as soon as the prince arrived at the county office, he hadn't settled down yet, and early this morning, the adults in the county government came out with the portrait of the Tianxian sister and asked. Before she could ask much, Sister Tianxian herself ran out and followed those adults. Marry a daughter-in-law~"
"Thank you, let's go play!" Ye Wan stood thoughtfully at the door of the store, this woman should be Luo Jin, and the nobility of the eyebrows is not a mortal.
Just thinking about the lining, a group of officials ran over from the direction of the county government and announced on the street: "The prince is going to marry Luo Jin, in order to celebrate, the prince ordered to set up a small banquet in our Qingshui Town, and the people of the town will participate, and the time is set for the Qixi Festival, and celebrate with the people!" ”
The people on the street exploded one after another, all talking about the origin of Miss Na Luo Jin and her shocking appearance.
"Tanabata ......" Ye Wan shook his head and paced back, thinking about the Qixi feast.
"The hostess! Do you have alcohol? A rough and angry male voice sounded, Ye Wan hurriedly turned around, only to see a young man who looked like a hunter walked in, carrying a basket of pheasants on his back. His skin is dark and shiny, his muscles are strong, and he looks like a practitioner.
"Yes, yes, you sit down, I don't know what kind of wine you drink?" As a proprietress who hasn't seen visitors for a long time, Ye Wan now looks at this handsome man, and her voice is so gentle that she can pinch out water.
"Just give me two catties of soju first." The man stroked his head in annoyance, and the pheasants in the basket kept flying upward, trying to rush out of the cage, fluttering and fluttering.
"Wait a minute, I'll go." Ye Wan saw that this man's anger had reached an extreme, for fear that this strong man would be in a hurry and lift the table.
Half an hour later: Ye Wan looked at the strong man holding the soju jar and was already slightly drunk, and after the anger was poured by the wine, the man was surrounded by a very sad and sad mist. It makes people feel bad when they see it.
"Boss, I heard that you know that Jinjin girl." The strong man's voice was much lower because of the wine and sadness, and it had a charm unique to men.
"Ah...... Do you know this girl? Ye Wan was very surprised by this question, it wouldn't be because he was trapped by love.
"What do I call knowing, I ...... The first time I saw her, I can't forget it......" The man's eyes suddenly focused on a corner, and his expression was gentle, probably recalling the scene when they first met.
Alas, this man really is. That's what it looks like when you see a beautiful woman.
"I remember the day I was chasing a fox...... After chasing, she didn't know where she came from...... She protected the fox, and she said she wouldn't let me hit it, she was so kind...... But that's what I saw that time...... That time, I thought it was a fairy in the mountains...... I've heard that she came to the market last time...... I hear from her again today, she will become the crown princess......" The man continued to speak stupidly, regardless of whether Ye Wan answered or not.
"The fairy in the mountains......" Ye Wan looked at the man's face and fell into deep thought.
