Chapter 14: The Paper Kite Ties
The two flying paper kites soared in the blue sky, adding a bit of vitality to the boring Murong Mansion. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Mrs. Yu stood aside, looking at the two girls with a gentle face, pulling paper kites, running unscrupulously. Yu Yuanyuan, who has a quiet personality, couldn't help but liberate herself, revealing an innocent smile that matched her age, not to mention Duanyue, who was already flamboyant by nature, she had already run all over the yard with joy, and she was sweating and sticking the fine bangs on her forehead one by one.
The friendship between the children is established between playing, but in just half a day, Mandarin Yuan and Duanyue held hands and said nothing. Duanyue struggled to pull the silk thread in her hand, and the paper kite also climbed higher and lower by little with her movements, gradually hiding in the white clouds, only becoming a small black dot. She turned her head to the mandarin duck is smug smile, and her free hand couldn't help but point to the paper kite in the sky, and said happily. "Look! I fly so high! β
The mandarin duck pulled the weak and weak paper kite in his hand, and he couldn't fly high on the roof, and his face suddenly felt aggrieved as if he wanted to cry. She raised her head to look at the paper kite in Duanyue, and then looked down at the paper kite dragged behind her, pursed her lips in displeasure, and muttered. "Why can't mine fly?"
Duanyue, who was at the tip of her ear, heard the mandarin duck's self-talk, and she handed the spool in her hand to the mandarin duck very generously. "You play with me!" A handful of hard stuffs to the mandarin duck, but he took her one that couldn't fly. Seeing that the mandarin duck was at a loss with the spool, she hated that iron could not become steel, and quickly taught her how to pull the thread. "You just take this thread and pull it from time to time, and if you feel very tight and can't pull it, it means that the wind is blowing, and the soft thread is soft, so quickly reel in the thread." I don't know if the mandarin duck really understands from time to time, she nodded, and her eyes were completely focused on the high-flying paper kite.
Duanyue saw that she was gradually getting better, so she didn't say much, but focused on the paper kite in her hand. Her paper kite had just started and was about to fly high when she heard an angry "oops" from the mandarin duck. Turning her head, I saw that she was holding a spool in her hand with a confused face, the pure white silk thread was shortened into two halves, and it hung down quietly, and the paper kite in the sky had no support, and it fell down staggeringly, like a drunk person who seemed to fall in a circle, and saw it fall into a corner of Murong Mansion.
The mandarin duck immediately bowed his head to Duanyue and said apologetically. "I'm sorry Duanyue, I lost your paper kite......" Her voice became lower and lower, looking like she had done something wrong, but Duanyue couldn't make up her mind to blame her.
She shook her head at the mandarin duck and said with a smile. "It's just that it fell, it's all in the Murong Mansion anyway, just look for it!" After that, she took the mandarin duck and looked for the place where the paper kite fell. Mrs. Yu didn't stop her, she also stopped Cuiguo, who was worried about wanting to follow, and looked at the back of the two children leaving with a gentle face.
"Just let the two of them go, and let them bond better." Cuiguo listened to Mrs. Yu's calm voice, and the worries in her heart were swept away. She nodded in agreement, thinking that Mrs. Yu really had a set. So the respect and admiration for Mrs. in my heart went to a higher level.
Duanyue ran away from the garden with the mandarin duck without a head, and blindly ran towards the unknown place, until he found that the surrounding environment was gradually becoming stranger, and then he secretly said in his heart, "Not good!" Then his footsteps slowed down. She looked around, and there were all flowers and trees, or blue and mossy walls, and no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see the familiar scene.
She suddenly panicked, but because the mandarin duck was on the side, she hurriedly covered her stiff expression and looked at her sloppily. "Hey, where did it go?"
The mandarin duck looked around along with her words, and she frowned and looked for a leader for a while. "I look like I fell around here, why did it disappear?"
The two experienced a short period of dullness, and the mandarin duck proposed first. "Forget it, it's just a paper kite." Her words gave Duanyue a heavy blow to her heart. Duanyue couldn't help but be speechless, no matter how much she concealed it, she couldn't erase the panic in her eyes. Mandarin Mandarin felt a hint of something strange from her pupils, her eyes moved, and her brain immediately thought, Duanyue, what's wrong?
Duanyue coughed awkwardly once or twice, she put on a smile and looked at the mandarin duck quietly, and her voice softened. "Mandarin Yuan, you haven't visited Murong Mansion! I'll show you around! Regardless of whether the mandarin duck was willing or not, he took her hand and took her to wander around aimlessly.
Mandarin duck pursed her lips, she didn't know why Duanyue suddenly pulled her around, and the words couldn't be asked all the time. Duanyue said softly. "Because I was born in January, my dad named me Duanyue. Don't follow the example of others, just call me the county lord and call me Xiaoyue. Her overly intimate words surprised the strictly disciplined Mandarin Duck. I heard my mother say that the lord of Shi'an is a very eccentric person, and his temper is very difficult to provoke, and he gave a dismount to the ladies when they met for the first time, so the mandarin duck has always been afraid of Duanyue. But now, Duanyue is not as terrible as people say, but a very gentle person.
Facing Duanyue's first gesture of goodwill, Mandarin Yuan hurriedly opened his mouth to formally introduce himself. "My name is Yu Mandarin Duck, the Mandarin Duck's Mandarin Duck." She said her name loudly and eagerly, and her words revealed a special joy. Duanyue was surprised by her tone, she turned her head sideways to look at the mandarin duck, her face full of doubt.
"Huh? Are you happy? "The eyes are full of laughter on the face of the mandarin duck, which is not the same as a dignified smile, but the most innocent and real smile.
The mandarin duck grinned and nodded. "Well, it's fun." She looked at Duanyue with a smile and didn't tell her anything.
After walking along the bluestone road for a while, Duanyue suddenly became excited, she pointed to a tree in front of her left, and cheered loudly to the mandarin duck. "Look at the paper kite!" The mandarin duck looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, there was a fluttering paper kite hanging miserably on the branch. The tree is so tall that the average person doesn't look up at the place. Although the traces of paper kites were found, the question arose one after another - how could such a tall tree be taken down?
Duanyue stared at the paper kite without giving up, her dark eyes swirled vigorously, and there were many methods in her mind, but they were too difficult to achieve. The mandarin duck looked at Gao Gao with his head held high, and his eyebrows were tightly together, bent into a figure of "eight". She tugged at Duanyue's sleeve and shook her head helplessly. "Forget it, it's so high, we can't get it."
"That's what you said." Duanyue was reluctant to look at the paper kite. It's not that she is reluctant to give up the paper kite, she is distressed that the mandarin duck has been painting for so long, and the painting is also very good-looking. But since the mandarin duck herself has said forget it, Duanyue has no intention of persuading each other again.
"Huh? What are you doing here? Duanyue listened to a familiar voice behind her, she turned her head to look at it, and sure enough, it was Xu Xiachu, looking at the two of them idly. He glanced at Yu Yuanyuan, who was standing on the side, and said to Duanyue with an indifferent face. "Why don't you stay in your yard and wander around casually, not afraid of getting lost?"
His words hit Duanyue, and her little face immediately turned red. Duanyue suddenly became at a loss as if she had been seen through her heart. She hurriedly pointed to the paper kite on the tree and said loudly. "It's not! It's my paper kite hanging on it, and I can't take it off! β
Xu Xiachu followed her finger and looked, and sure enough, it landed on the branch. Feeling the expectant gaze of the little man in front of him, Xu Xiachu could only fly and jump, easily landing on a thicker branch on the tree, and easily reaching the paper kite and jumping down. Duanyue saw that the paper kite was lost and recovered, not to mention how happy she was, she immediately took two steps and walked in front of Xu Xiachu, and hugged the paper kite in front of her chest.
She raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Xiachu, although she was very arrogant, she still thanked him. "Thank you, Vice Admiral Xu."
"Vice General Xu? Who made you call it that? Xu Xiachu was startled when she heard Duanyue call herself like this. Thinking about it carefully, she was afraid that she had learned to call herself like a subordinate.
"And what am I going to call you?"
Xu Xiachu let out a short sigh, and he bent down to squat in front of Duanyue. "I am from the same generation as Master Hou, don't call me a student. It's good to call Brother Xu. With that, he smiled triumphantly. Duanyue looked at him and frowned, and immediately shook her head in disgust.
"No!" She stuck her waist and rolled her eyes at Xu Xiachu. "Brother's name is my brother's, if you don't let me call you Vice General Xu, then I can only call you Xu Xiachu!" This angry Xu Xia was speechless for a long time, he thought about it and gave up.
"The lord of Shi'an can call it whatever he wants!" Such a word signifies the victory of Duanyue. Xu Xiachu sighed briefly, only blaming her for being the lord of Shi'an, and her identity was far below her. However, he was not defeated by this momentary defeat, he looked at Duanyue with another intention and smiled, and whispered in her ear. "To go back to the yard, just turn left from here." With that, he gestured to the road with his eyes.
Duanyue couldn't help but be taken aback. How did I reveal that I was lost? She looked at Xu Xiachu in surprise, saw him raise a triumphant smile, and thought to herself that this person is not young, how can he be more naΓ―ve than herself! Duanyue snorted coldly, dragged Yu Yuanyuan and left here quickly, walking in the direction Xu Xiachu said, sure enough, after walking around for a while, he gradually became familiar.
The matter of getting lost was solved, which made Duanyue breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, she felt that something was wrong, she turned her face sideways to look at Yu Yuanyuan, who had been silent, and saw that she had kept her head down, biting her lower lip tightly and not speaking. "Huh? Mandarin Duck, what's wrong with you? β
Yu Yuanyuan shook his head and said with a smile at Duanyue. "It's okay, I'm just tired."
Duanyue suddenly understood that something was wrong. It stands to reason that Mandarin Yuan and Xu Xiachu are cousins, but just now, the two of them didn't say a word as if they couldn't see each other, and they were silent. She didn't hide her thoughts and immediately asked about Mandarin Mandarin Duck. "Xu Xiachu is your cousin?"
The mandarin duck was stunned and nodded with difficulty. "Ann is my cousin."
"Then why do you two look like you don't know each other?" Duanyue ignored the fact that the mandarin duck's expression was wrong, and asked.
"Huh? Is it? She smiled and said. After all, Xia Chu's brother is away all the year round, and I am a girl's deep boudoir, so I rarely see each other, and it is normal to be unfamiliar. β
Is it? Duanyue glanced at her suspiciously, and didn't ask any more.
