Chapter 45: The Gap (1)

wandered around leisurely like this, and more than 20 days passed before I knew it. Tang Bujing accompanied the stealing jade to see the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. He carefully accompanied and guarded, so that the girl, who had always been a little "dull" in some aspects, began to want to face the relationship between the two.

The night before leaving Suzhou, the two leaned against the window railing, looking at the starry night sky. The inn where they stayed was outside the canal, and at night, the secluded river shone with the light of the stars and the moon, dreamy and blurry. The fleet sailed slowly before their eyes, and from time to time there were songs in the Wu language wafting from the canopy boats.

Tang Bujing held a glass cup in his hand, tasted the sweet plum wine, and chatted with the stealing jade without a word. After all, it was already winter, and the night breeze was mixed with damp coolness. Tang Bu took off the cloud brocade cloak he was wearing and gently covered the jade stealer.

The dark eyes of the jade stealing were even brighter under the reflection of the starlight. She stared at Suzhou City at night, and suddenly sighed: "Such a gentle place, after staying for a long time, I have become a little sentimental." ”

Tang Bu was shocked to hear this, and couldn't help laughing: "What did Yu'er think of again?" Maybe it's not because this place is too poetic, but because my sister happens to be at an age where she is a little sad? ”

"Maybe." Surprisingly, Stealing Yu did not refute Tang Bu's words, "This trip to Huainan is really long enough to stay in Jiangnan." After all, I grew up in the north since I was a child, and I seem to prefer the heroic and straightforward style of the north. Don't be surprised, why don't we go to Guanwai! ”

"Outside the gates?" Tang Bu was a little surprised. It's early winter now, and the grassland outside the gate is even colder than the capital, and I don't know what Steal Yu wants to do there.

Stealing Jade seemed to know the doubts in his heart, so he explained: "I really want to go to the gate to see the snow. Isn't it beautiful if the vast grassland is covered with a layer of snow? ”

"Indeed." Tang Bu smiled at the corner of his mouth and replied, "Since Yu'er wants to go, we will leave for it today." ”

"Is that true?" The corners of his eyes were crooked, and he looked at Tang Bu with a smile on his face.

Tang Bujing put down the cup in his hand, stared at her seriously, and nodded: "Naturally." If you don't promise your sister, you will definitely fulfill it.

Before dawn, the jade thief couldn't sleep. The thought that she would soon be able to go outside the gate to see the grassland and the snow in the sky made her very excited. After staring at the ceiling with wide eyes for a long time, she finally decided to get up and get dressed.

In fact, as a girl who is just in her prime, the dress of stealing jade can be described as very bland. She rarely uses rouge gouache, let alone jewelry. But today was a little different, and she wanted to appear in front of him in the best possible way.

After rummaging in the wardrobe and jewelry box for a long time, Stealing Jade couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Because he has never paid attention to the outside, and stealing jade prefers purple, his clothes are almost all purple Luo skirts. And the hairpins, flowers and other things in the jewelry box are even more pitiful.

For some reason, Stealing Jade suddenly remembered Qi Yuxue. The noble and elegant eldest lady of the Qi family, it seems that every time she appears in front of Tang Bujing, she is dressed up, and her clothes and accessories are absolutely the same. There is also Chu Yan, either pure, or charming, or enchanting. No matter which one it looks like, it attracts people's eyes lightly. Women are pleasing to themselves, and there don't seem to be many women of this age who dare to go out without dressing up like her, right?

With a sigh, Stealing Jade picked out a light purple embroidered dress. This embroidered dress was given to her by her master on her birthday last year, and it was made of high-quality satin, and the skirt hung lightly and fell slightly to the ground. The neckline and cuffs are embroidered with silver wire with elegant plum blossom patterns, and the waist is tightened, which makes the jade stealing figure slender and slender.

Changing into a skirt, Stealing Yu took out the rouge gouache he bought in Huainan a few days ago and smeared it. Her skin is already fair and tender like cow's milk, and after being modified and embellished with fat powder, it is even more white and flawless. She adjusted some more snails and carefully traced her eyebrows. I ordered some lip grease to make the lip flap more red and moving. Because of the cold weather, Stealing Jade put on a white fox fur jacket on the outside of her skirt, her black hair hanging down at the back of her head, and her hair was pearlescent. The whole person looks like he came out of the painting, and he has a bit of a dusty and gorgeous taste, which is the Yaochi Fairy, but that's it.

After the makeup was finished, Stealing Jade was narcissistic in the mirror. Thinking that Tang Bu was surprised to see himself like this later, he would inevitably show a surprised look. At this time, she would say to him triumphantly: "This girl is naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, and her father and mother gave it, there is no way!" ”

Thinking like this, the wonderful person in the bronze mirror couldn't help but "giggle" and laugh, and the image flickered and flickered, like a pool of clear water disturbed by someone.

Stealing Yu took out the brocade box that she had been carrying with her all these days, opened it, and what was lying quietly inside was the white jade hairpin she exchanged for her pearls on the streets of Huainan. Stealing Yu suddenly felt a little nervous in his heart, would he like this white hosta? The first son in the world, accustomed to seeing the treasures of the world, and sitting on the wealth of the country, can he wear such an ordinary hairpin?

Thinking of this, Stealing Jade couldn't help but be a little discouraged. At first, it was an impulse, thinking that this hairpin was very suitable for him, and wanted to give him a gift, but forgot to ask him if he would like it. Forget it, that's what she has in mind anyway. Well, what should that be?

Thanks to him for helping her find the jasper hairpin? Or was it thanks to him for convincing Senior Brother Fang Wu to allow her to stay? Or is it to thank her for her careful companionship when she is frustrated and lonely? Otherwise, thank him for taking her to the "Ning Fat Building" and meeting Qing'er? If you really can't thank him, he's going to go to the border with her to see the snow soon? Or, some mind that even she herself can't explain?

In this way, Stealing Jade fell into her own little mind. Finally, the sky outside brightened little by little, and the sun was scattered through the clouds, and it was another good day. Stealing Jade heard a sound from the next room, it should be Tang Buxing preparing to go out. Thinking so, she hurriedly straightened her appearance, put away the brocade box, hid it in her sleeve, opened the door and walked out.

Unexpectedly, Tang Bu was surprised that the room was clean, and he was not inside. There was not a single wrinkle in the bed, and the quilt was not opened, as if no one had slept at all last night.

Stealing Yu walked in suspiciously, there was only a thin guy in the room, and the bamboo and plum were gone. Hearing someone come in, the little guy looked up sharply, and then lowered his head suddenly, looking a little panicked. Stealing Yu was suspicious, this can't be a thief, right? However, what thief is bold enough to come and steal something that Tang is not afraid of?

Before stealing jade could ask, the little guy lowered his head and called, "Jade, jade girl......"

"Huh? Do you recognize me? "Since I know her, then it must not be a thief, it should be the person next to Tang Bujing, but why haven't I seen her for so many days. But now this little guy is not the focus of her attention, Stealing Jade looked around and asked, "Where did your son go?" ”

"Fourth, the fourth son, he, went back to the capital." The little guy replied timidly.
