Finally, the eighteenth birthday of Stealing Jade arrived.

In previous years, Tang Bujing always started Zhang Luo to celebrate her birthday very early, never forgot jì, and every time he was ingenious. Even when he followed the old man to learn art, he would send people to send gifts to the villa. But this year he was so busy that he might forget her birthday.

Thinking that he would be able to see him today, Stealing Jade got up early in the morning and carefully dressed up. She changed her previous style of wearing purple clothes, and deliberately changed into the goose yellow Luo skirt that Tang Bujing had prepared for her before. The skirt was woven with fine Shu brocade and snow yarn, and the texture was excellent, and it seemed to have a flow of brilliance when moving. The skirt is slightly swaying, and the skirt is sporadically embroidered with silver thread with some magnolia patterns. The waist is tightly tied, and the aqua blue ribbon is tied behind him, which is quite dusty.

Stealing jade is already fair-skinned and slim, and wearing this dress, it is really beautiful. In order to match the beauty of this dress, Stealing Jade only applied some powder slightly, only pulled up the hair in her ears at the back of her head, and embellished a few tourmaline beads between her temples. After the makeup, Fan Fu looked at her for a long time with a fascinated face, and sighed: "The girl is really a fairy-like person, not at all like those vulgar fans." No wonder Childe is infatuated with you, if the powder is born as a man, he will definitely hook the girl with three souls and seven spirits! ”

Stealing Yu was blushing by her words, and the two joked for a while, and then began to sit and wait for Tang Buxing to arrive. But he waited from morning to nightfall. The look on Stealing Jade's face also changed from anticipation and joy to loss and gloom.

Fan Su couldn't bear to look at her like this, so she could only comfort her with kind words: "Childe has been really busy lately, and Sister Zhu came over that day and said that Childe hadn't returned home for a day." The girl doesn't have to be sad, he, he must be too busy......"

As she spoke, Fan Fu couldn't help but feel that she was short of words, and the excuse of "busy" was too pale. Stealing Yu lowered his eyes, holding Ah You, who had closed his eyes sleepily, in his arms, and said with a faint "um", "I know." He has important things to do. I, I don't blame him......"

Although he said so, the sadness and loss in his heart were also real. Pink sighed and left, leaving her alone in the dimly lit room. Stealing Jade didn't want to light the lamp, she was afraid that the bright light would make her even more dim. She stroked Ah You's smooth fur for a while, and said to herself, "Shouldn't I go back to the villa?" He's so busy, I'm afraid I'm going to disturb him here......"

Ah You's ears moved, he opened his eyes and glanced at her lazily, and saw the stealing jade sitting like a stone statue, and continued to close his eyes and lie on his stomach.

After a while, there was the sound of hurried footsteps in the courtyard. Stealing Jade keenly listened to every sound in the small building of the Gathering Shade, and immediately stood up! It's just that she forgot about Ah You, who was lying on her knees, and stood up so suddenly, Ah You fell off her smooth skirt all of a sudden. It whimpered in extreme displeasure and ran away with a puff of smoke.

"Girl, Jade Girl!" The owner of the footsteps was Fan Fu, and as she walked, she shouted in the yard, "Childe sent someone to pick you up, Childe didn't forget!" ”

Stealing Yu was overjoyed, and hurriedly smoothed out the few wrinkles on her skirt because Ah You had been lying on her stomach. She looked in the mirror in a bit of a panic, and was relieved to see that her makeup in the mirror was quite reasonable. Powder quickly helped her touch up her makeup, cut her hair, and then went out with the thief with satisfaction.

The carriage was already waiting outside the Tang Mansion. Stealing Yu got into the car with her skirt, but found that Tang Bujing was not inside. The coachman was an honest and honest middle-aged man, and Thief Yu recognized him as the one who often drove the car for Tang Bushu, so he asked, "Master Huang, where are we going?" ”

"To the outskirts of town." Master Huang, the coachman, replied truthfully.

Stealing Yu was very puzzled in her heart, it was getting late, and she didn't know what Tang Bu was doing when she pulled her to the outskirts of the city? I thought he would send someone to take her to the restaurant and have a banquet, but now she has whetted her appetite for stealing jade. So she asked, "Does the master know what we are going to do there?" ”

"This ......," the honest coachman scratched the back of his head, "Childe just confessed to sending the girl over, and did not say anything else." As subordinates, it's not good to ask anything. ”

Seeing that he really didn't know, the jade thief didn't ask any more. So in the bumpy carriage and horses along the way, the heart of the thief went up and down, and he was curious.

The carriage had been gone for nearly an hour, and it was completely dark, and they finally reached their destination. Before stealing jade got out of the car, Shadow and Bamboo, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him. The shadow waved towards the jade thief, then reached out and handed over a white ribbon, and said, "Please also ask the girl to blindfold, and the maidservants will take the girl to see the child." ”

"Blindfolded?" Stealing jade was completely stunned at this time, and his face was at a loss.

Seeing her delicate appearance, Zhu couldn't help but "giggle" and laughed: "The girl can relax, the son can still harm you!" He's just trying to surprise you. If the girl doesn't cooperate, it won't be fun to do the following! ”

Stealing Jade blushed with shame at what she said, but she tied the ribbon very neatly and covered her eyes tightly. Bamboo and Shadow looked at each other and smiled, and slowly walked forward with her left and right.

It's an amazing feeling! It was pitch black in front of him, and he didn't know where he had been taken, how far he had gone, and what kind of scenery he had along the way. All the senses were concentrated in the ears, and Stealing Jade listened carefully, but could only hear the sound of the breeze blowing and the sound of small footsteps, so her heart was even more curious.

Stealing Jade only felt that he had walked a long way, and finally felt the bamboo and shadow beside him stop. She also hurriedly stopped, and heard the shadow whisper in her ear: "Jade girl, the maid will help you untie the ribbon." Just don't be too anxious to open your eyes, get used to the light first, and take your time. ”

Stealing Jade nodded meekly, and felt a pair of hands gently and deftly untie the knot tied at the back of her head. The ribbon was taken off, and the restraint in front of him disappeared. Stealing Jade slowly opened her eyes as Ying said. When he saw the qi in front of him, he couldn't help but reach out and cover his big mouth, so shocked that he couldn't say a word!

What caught her eye was a lush purple-purple magnolia tree, one by one, in clusters, enveloping her layer by layer. Stealing jade has always been very fond of purple magnolia, the bright and noble purple flowers, flowers without leaves, Qiongqiong like a jade tree. It is neither ostentatious nor kitsch, and has a sense of detachment.

Purple magnolia, also known as Xinyi flower. Xinyi, favorite, what a beautiful word.

Suddenly seeing so many magnolia trees, I can't say that I am not shocked! And in the center of the flower tree, that is, where the jade is located, is a small open space, covered with an elaborate wooden house on stilts, and in front of the door are two one-man high bronze glazed palace lanterns. Although I haven't been inside, just looking at the chic exterior of this wooden house, you can imagine how comfortable and pleasant it must be inside.

Directly in front of the wooden house, a winding path has been carved out of the flower trees. On the ground on both sides of the path, a beautiful lotus lantern is lit every five steps, which illuminates the place. No wonder the shadow just now reminded her to adapt to the light and then opened her eyes, hundreds of lotus lights were dazzling, reflecting this magnolia forest as if it was day!

"Girl, go along with this lantern." Zhu said with a smile in the ear of the thief, "Childe, he is waiting for you at the end of the lantern!" ”
