A-Ning trotted all the way to the big banyan tree, the tree was hundreds of years old, it would take several adults to hold it, there would be young men and women in the village who had not yet started a family, and even some passers-by would hang some red cloth on the branches to pray for good karma, A-Ning ran over and saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure.

"Brother Kong Yu, you're back," A Ning couldn't hide the joy in his tone, the young man standing under the tree turned his head, holding a red thread in his hand, the young man was handsome, wearing a plain robe with this white ribbon on his head, it was a young man in his prime, "You are here," Kong Yu's voice was very gentle, warm as jade, and he looked back very gently at A Ning and the same as before.

I haven't seen Brother Kong Yu for two years, and now I've grown a lot taller, Ah Ning and Kong Yu used to stand together Ah Ning was on Kong Yu's forehead, and now it's only on Brother Kong Yu's shoulder, "You are really here," Ah Ning ran over with a smile and pulled Kong Yu's arm like when he was a child, although the two had not seen each other for a long time, they didn't feel strange and embarrassed at all, "Brother Kong Yu, did you also hang a red rope on it just now, are you asking for the title of the gold list, or are you asking for marriage," Ah Ning asked Kong Yu with a sly smile in his eyes.

"Then Ah Ning guess" Kong Yu looked at Ah Ning's little hand holding his arm, and asked Ah Ning with a gentle look in his eyes. I haven't seen Ah Ning for two years, she has become more beautiful, and the little girl who used to have two braids is now as fresh and beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water, and J has a sense of beauty compared with the finely dressed women in the capital, "I guess Brother Kong Yu must be asking for the title of the gold list, right, I have been silently looking forward to Brother Kong Yu being able to go to high school at home," A Ning looked at Kong Yu in front of him with admiration, "You guessed wrong," Kong Yu shook his head with a smile.

A-Ning put down the hand holding Kong Yu's arm and looked at Kong Yu in surprise, "Is it marriage, who is Brother Kong Yu asking for, did you meet when you were on a study tour?" A-Ning was very curious about his impression, Kong Yu didn't seem to be interested in girls, and he had always stayed in the school every day with a book.

Kong Yu smiled and looked at A Ning without speaking, and saw that the hairpin on A Ning's head was a little loose because of the trot all the way, and gently straightened the hairpin on A Ning's head with his hand, "Do you like this hairpin?" Kong Yu asked. I like it, this hairpin is very good-looking, and I am reluctant to bring it on weekdays, "Although A-Ning does not know much about hairpins, he can also feel from its warm texture that this hairpin must be superior."

"A-Ning likes it, you don't have to take it off, A-Ning can take it with you every day," A-Ning can wear this hairpin all the time. "By the way, Brother Kong Yu, you've been back for so long, you haven't eaten yet, there are still a lot of people waiting to pick you up just now, and the county master has come to greet you" A-Ning thought that Kong Yu hadn't arrived home for so long, and there were still many people waiting to be reminded quickly.

"Then let's go back," Kong Yu said to A-Ning, although Kong Yu doesn't like to be lively, but after all, this is where he grew up, and there are many familiar neighbors who greet him, those people have been waiting for a long time and still need to meet, on the way A-Ning has always been curious about who Kong Yuqiu's marriage is, Kong Yu has been smiling silently, let A-Ning guess there, what a troubled lady, the daughter of the house, anyway, everything that can be thought of in the little head is guessed one by one, Kong Yu admires this girl's imagination very much, But this girl is very stupid, and she never guessed.

After arriving, a group of people greeted Kong Yu very warmly, eager to eat Kong Yu, Kong Yu was very personable, and always maintained a faint smile and responded politely, that is the disguise that Kong Yu has learned since he was a child, disguising himself as the hope of those who have expectations for himself, A-Ning knows that Kong Yu doesn't like this, he likes to stay alone in the study, and he only needs to put some snacks next to him to stay for a day. and A-Ning went to the mountains to catch fireflies and didn't study, and then both of them would be punished by Grandpa Kong, but the fireflies in the sky at night were really beautiful.

Ah Ning looked at Kong Yu being squeezed in the middle by a group of people, Kong Yu had been waiting for him since he came back, and he hadn't eaten for so long, and now he was surrounded by such a group of people and didn't know how long he was going to be surrounded, suddenly Ah Ning had a courage in his heart, and rushed straight into the crowd like a cow, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and said loudly, "My son-in-law hasn't eaten yet, it's not too late for you to see you another day, and now you're going home," everyone looked at the little girl in amazement.

This girl came there, taking advantage of everyone's stunned effort, A-Ning took Kong Yu's hand and walked out, people only then reacted, especially the county lord headed by him, in fact, there is an unmarried daughter in the family, he came here not only for his future career mainly to get acquainted with Kong Gongzi, this Kong Gongzi is a rare young talent, if he marries his daughter to him, the glory and wealth will naturally continue.

Now he was very surprised that such a girl suddenly came out, there is such a stunning woman in this countryside, this Kong Gongzi looked at the girl's eyes obviously had friendship, but he was afraid that his wishful thinking would come to naught. Kong Yu watched A-Ning holding his hand, and he didn't resist, A-Ning walked in front, Kong Yu was smiling in the back and was almost grinning at the back of his head, A-Ning naturally didn't know how to go forward one by one, for fear that the group of people would catch up again.

It wasn't until he walked for a long time and there was no sound that Ah Ning stopped, and then looked back at Kong Yu, who looked at Ah Ning with a smile, "You are still laughing, there were so many people just now, and it is the first time for me to talk like this in front of so many people, I am so nervous, you have to invite me to eat hibiscus cake in the town to compensate me," Ah Ning saw that Kong Yu was still laughing, and he was very righteous enough to free him from the crowd just now, and he didn't thank himself.

"Okay, what A-Ning wants to eat, let's go to the town to eat tomorrow, okay," Kong Yu looked at A-Ning's puffed little face and said gently. "Then it's decided, we'll see you at the banyan tree tomorrow morning, and then go to town, you go home quickly, Grandpa Kong is waiting for you at home," A-Ning smiled and said goodbye to Kong Yu.

After going home, A-Ning cleaned up the house, it was dark in the village very quickly, and it would be dark after a while, he had a two-day holiday this time, and he could go directly to the Shen Mansion after going to the town with Kong Yu tomorrow, by the way, he hadn't told Kong Yu that he was now a maid in the Shen Mansion, so let's talk about it tomorrow.

At night, A-Ning's father slept in the outhouse, A-Ning hugged his mother and slept in the inner room, I haven't slept with my mother for a long time, my mother's arms are still so warm, making people sleep with peace of mind, and there is a faint smell of traditional Chinese medicine, the next day, A-Ning got up very early, made porridge and some side dishes for my mother, and my father had already gotten up to go to the mountains to chop wood, and after A-Ning was done, my father also came back, and after the family had breakfast, A-Ning told my father and my mother about the agreement with Kong Yu.

Dad and mother have always known Kong Yu, and they trust Kong Yu very much, so they naturally promised Ah Ning and Kong Yu to go together, it would be better to have a companion on the road, and then Ah Ning said goodbye to his father and mother, saying that he would come back next time he rested, so that his father and mother would not have to worry about Ah Ning, and then Ah Ning packed up and left home.

After Ah Ning walked, Kong Yu was already waiting for Ah Ning under the tree, wearing a white plain clothes, not as luxurious as the brocade robe of the third prince, it was a feeling that people wanted to get close to when they saw it, there was really a bandit gentleman, such as cutting and learning, such as grinding, and it was just right to describe Kong Yu's temperament. A-Ning ran over with a smile, "Brother Kong Yu, have you waited for a long time?" "Not for a long time, just arrived" replied in a very gentle tone.

A-Ning was very curious about Kong Yu's experience of studying on the road, after all, he had never been far away, A-Ning asked Kong Yu to answer carefully, from the daily food and clothing to the process of the exam. There are a lot of willow trees planted on the side of the road, now it is the season when the catkins are flying all over the sky, the sun shines warmly on the bodies of A Ning and Kong Yu, the catkins in the sky are blown up by the wind, it is like a snow in the spring, the two of them walked and walked accidentally to Baitou, after walking through the tree, they looked at the catkins of the two people and laughed.

Kong Yu gently patted the catkins off A-Ning's head, and A-Ning also took off the catkins on Kong Yu's head, A-Ning felt as if the two of them had returned to their childhood, "A-Ning, wait for me," Kong Yu looked at A-Ning and suddenly said a clueless word, "What are you waiting for, Brother Kong Yu" A-Ning asked curiously, "It's nothing, let's go into the city quickly, hibiscus crisp has always been very popular" Kong Yu said with a smile.

After Ah Ning heard it, he instantly became nervous, yes, hibiscus crisps have been selling very fast, the previous five ladies all let the people line up early to buy, thinking of this, Ah Ning walked fast, Kong Yu looked at Ah Ning who was walking fast behind him, and smiled and chased Ah Ning quickly.

The two walked for so long, and finally walked to the city, Wushui Town is really always lively and lively, A-Ning now has only one goal, that is, hibiscus crisp, Kong Yu is not in a hurry, A-Ning hurriedly pulled Kong Yu to the store, "Boss, I want a hibiscus cake," Kong Yu said to the boss of the store after entering, "Xiao Xianggong came just in time, it was bought for your lady, and there is just this last one left, and it will be too late, but it is really a talented woman," the boss said enthusiastically, quickly packed the hibiscus crisp and handed it to the smiling Kong Yu, A-Ning was just about to refute that he was not, but he was dragged out by Kong Yu, and then put the hibiscus crisp in A-Ning's hand.

As soon as A-Ning saw the hibiscus crisp and followed what the boss said just now, he picked up a piece of hibiscus crisp and put it in his mouth, and instantly his mouth was filled with floral fragrance, and the crispy outside and tender inside were really a special dim sum in Wushui Town, it was so delicious, Kong Yu looked at A-Ning eating and said with a smile, "Is it so delicious, A-Ning is so happy to eat" A-Ning saw Kong Yu asking himself like this, and hurriedly said, "Brother Kong Yu, haven't you eaten it yet."

"I'll give you a taste, and you'll know how delicious it is," After saying that, A-Ning took out a piece of hibiscus crisp from the bag and prepared to feed it to Kong Yu. "Stop," Suddenly a very familiar magnetic voice with a hint of anger came from Ah Ning's ears, Ah Ning quickly turned around, and then saw a familiar carriage next to him, and in the carriage was his own son, Shen Qianfeng.
