The day after they met, Yu Qiuping couldn't concentrate all day, and his mind was full of the girl's shadow. The morning of settling accounts was not as efficient as the usual hour, and he cooked porridge twice while cooking lunch, and accidentally hit a pillar while wandering around the city with Asahina Taehyung.

"I said you kid? Are you stunned? Asahina Taehyung looked at Woo Chohei, who had hit a pillar and fell to the ground, and smiled backwards, "Why don't you look at the road when you walk." ”

"The way you look now, you're a bit like that Okabe Masazuna," Asahina Taehyung slapped his thigh with a smile, "Walk without looking at the road, that guy hit this child's carriage hahahaha..."

"You know what, boy," Asahina Taehyung suddenly leaned over to Yuqiuhei, separated from the servants behind him, "That kid from the Okabe family has taken a fancy to our princess!" The pearl of our governor's palm! What a beautiful woman who is twenty-eight years old! Asahina Taehyung laughed as he spoke, "It's like you've lost your soul all day, and it's really like what you look like now... Huh? Asahina Taehyung said as he suddenly understood something, "You kid shouldn't have a favorite girl, right?" ”

"How... How can it be! Yu Qiuping was said to be in his heart, and his face turned red all of a sudden, "I have only been here for a long time, how can it be..."

"Blush, haha, you kid," Askina Taehyung patted Yu Qiuhei on the shoulder, "yes!" Do you want the eldest brother to help you propose! ”

"Nothing!" Yu Qiuping blushed and broke free from Asahina Taehyung's hand, and reversed the army, "It's you, big brother, why haven't you married a wife at the age of nineteen?" ”

"Hey, don't mention it," Asahina Taehyung patted his head awkwardly, "Originally, my brother helped me decide on the daughter of the Sekiguchi family, but the day I went to see the clan was too prodigal, and I broke the vase that the clan had kept for many years, and the clan kicked me out in a fit of anger." Fortunately, the marriage contract has not been announced to the public, otherwise it would be a shame. Asahina Taehyung smiled, "Those adults don't think I'm stable enough and don't want to entrust my daughter to me." My brother didn't want to help me find a folk girl. It was delayed.

"Big brother, although you are not stable, but you are very righteous, those big rats are blinded," Yu Qiuping comforted, "Marry your daughter, and your daughter will be relied on for the rest of her life." ”

"Eh, you kid thinks so highly of me!" Asahina Taehyung was happy all at once.

"Big brother saved me twice, and the grace of saving my life is unforgettable." Yu Qiuping nodded gratefully, "Then big brother, why don't you propose to the beautiful princess you said?" ”

"Then you might as well let me marry the daughter of the clan," Asahina Taehyung was terrified for a moment at the mention of the princess, "That princess sister is amazing." I don't know how many times smarter than me, but I used to go to the castle tower to play with her, and I was teased all the time, so I didn't dare to look for her. Zhenggang's stinky boy didn't know that he had eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and he wanted to find the princess all day long, and he ate closed door soup every day hahahaha..."

"Thick eyebrows! Who are you talking about? Suddenly, there was an angry shout from behind them. As soon as he turned around for Hinai Taehyung and Woo Chohei, he saw a young man glaring angrily. Behind him, a group of Ashigaru with the Okabe family's flag and Ashigaru with the Asahina's family flag are facing each other on the street. Seeing this, the people on both sides were scattered, trying to avoid the two plagues.

"Little Eye, do you have anything to disagree with?" Asahina Taihyung crossed his hands on his chest and looked at that person with a provocative look, it was estimated that it was Okabe Masatsuna, the young master of the Okabe family.

Thick eyebrows? Small eyes? Yu Qiuping quickly looked at the facial features of the two on the side, and found that although they were rivals, the nicknames they gave each other were still very vivid.

"What's wrong? Looking for a new follower? Yu Qiuping, who was going to watch the play, was suddenly lit by Okabe Masatsuna, "Where did you come from?" ”

"It's the dog that ate your conscience yesterday." The insulted Yu Qiuping replied unceremoniously.

This novel way of raising the bar and scolding made everyone present a little confused for a while, and after a while, the entourage of the Asahina family and Asahina Taehyung burst into laughter respectively, and the entourage of the Okabe family glared angrily at Yu Qiuping, and Okabe Masatsuna was even more eager to eat Yu Qiuping.

"Ahh Hahaha..."Asahina Taihyung pointed at Okabe Masatsuna and smiled, "Conscience has been eaten by dogs?" Yes? Small eyes! After that, he kept stirring his index finger, "Do you want to try to take back your conscience!" ”

"Thick eyebrows! Fuck you! Okabe Masatsuna didn't say a word, rolled up his sleeves and rushed up.

A fierce battle came to a halt when the sheriff arrived in time. By this time, the sun had already set in the west. Yu Qiuping was not involved in the group beating because of his coquettish position. A dozen retinues and a dozen retinues are inseparable, but Okabe Masatsuna is obviously not Asahina's opponent, although he is also a strong guy, but he was still beaten down by Asahina Taiheng in a few clicks.

After the incident, Asahina Taehyung continued to wander the streets with a dozen blue-nosed and swollen retinues, and the attendants behind him seemed to be accustomed to such a life. No wonder when they were in the confrontation just now, the attendants on both sides were already tense. Looks like I've fought more than once.

"So, which girl is it?" Asahina Taehyung has been annoyed by Yu Qiuhei all the way.

"Eh, forget it, tell the eldest brother, don't bother me." Yu Qiuping sighed, "I met a beautiful girl yesterday, but she seems to be the child of a wealthy family, and she doesn't want to be named, so it's inconvenient for me to ask more." It's hard to see each other in the future. ”

"Eh, you boy! Usually there are a lot of ghost ideas, why are you so cowardly when it comes to big things! Asahina Taehyung sneered, "I went up and asked at that time!" If you are white-eyed, you will be white-eyed! It's better than never seeing you again! ”

"Big brother, don't say it, I regret it now," Yu Qiuping felt regretful in his heart when he thought that he could no longer hear such a pleasant laughter or see that playful laughter.

"Why don't you go and you met him yesterday, maybe you can meet again?" Asahina Taehyung said casually.

"Huh!" Yu Qiuping realized that although the girl had been picked up by her father, her family's ancestral house was still there. I might go back to it often.

"Thank you, big brother!" Yu Qiuping didn't say much, and without saying a word, he left Asahina Taehyung and ran away. By the time Asahina Taehyung reacted, Yu Qiuping had already run out of the street.

"This kid is running pretty fast."

Yu Qiuping hurried to the back mountain, and when he passed the intersection at the foot of the mountain, he saw an ox cart in the distance.

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed.

That's right, here she is again.

Yu Qiuping walked up the mountain quickly, faster than the first time. When he finally climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the mountain full of red leaves, the familiar figure came into view. Today, she wore a light pink kimono and her hair was tied up with a blue hairpin.

"Ping-kun!" The girl greeted her with some surprise when she saw Yu Qiuping's arrival, "It's a pity," she sighed, "It's too late to talk to you anymore." ”

"It's okay, I'm late." Yu Qiuping's face turned red, and he was incoherent for a while, and replied casually with an inexplicable sentence. He felt a little embarrassed, so he spoke again, "Is that ox cart at the bottom of the mountain from Miss's family?" ”

"That's right," the girl nodded, "The maple forest at sunset is the most beautiful," she turned to look at the mountains and forests that complemented the sunset, "Pingjun can enjoy it." I'll be out of company first. ”

With that, the girl bowed and turned away.

Yu Qiuping felt his heart sink again, hesitated again and again, and finally gritted his teeth and chased after him.

The girl heard the sound of footsteps behind her, and turned her head in surprise. The hair on his forehead was also slightly scattered by the wind.

"Miss... I... I would like to take the liberty of asking a question. Yu Qiuping stammered a little.

"Pingjun, please speak." The girl straightened her hair and smiled. It was this heart-warming smile that encouraged Yu Qiuping to ask boldly: "Excuse me, Miss... Tomorrow afternoon, will you come here to see the maple leaves? ”

As soon as the words came out, Yu Qiuping regretted a little, whether he was abrupt and beautiful. My heart kicked to my throat all at once. Time seemed to freeze, and Yu Qiuping looked at the girl's expression intently, eager to get even the slightest hint from it.

A gust of north wind blew, rolling up a red leaf on the ground and drifting towards the girl.

The girl quickly grabbed the red leaf with her index and middle fingers, and with a slight horizontal twist, it covered her face.

Yu Qiuping didn't know that the girl was hiding the curvature of the corners of her mouth.

As soon as the girl let go, the red leaves disappeared with the wind again.

"As long as the autumn leaves of this maple forest don't fall," the girl smiled and turned around, "I will come every day." ”

So, in the following days, going to the back mountain to see the maple leaves has become an untouchable part of Yuqiuping's daily itinerary. It replaced the past and Asahina Taehyung hanging out and uncle. Every day, Charlie and the guards would watch in amazement as Yu Qiuping hurried out of the house at four o'clock and then ran back before dinner. Before leaving, I was full of glory, and when I came back, I was very excited. But usually after dinner, I will start to frown again, and I don't listen to complaining about how time passes so slowly.

"What the hell is going on, sir?" The pro-soldier once asked Charlie in private.

"I'll be honest with you, I don't know. Mysterious Orientals, I don't have the ability to understand them. Charlie spread his hands.

This state was maintained until one day, when the big-mouthed Asahina Taehyung came to the store after Woo Akihira went out, he triumphantly announced the fact that Woo Akihei was in love and asked the two to keep it a secret. So, Yu Qiuping thought that his secret was well hidden, and every time he came up with all kinds of excuses to sneak out. As soon as he walked on his front foot, the pro-soldier and Charlie would smile heartily. If Yu Qiuping knew that Asahina Taehyung had stabbed out his secret early, he would not be angry to death, and he would have performed for so long in vain, like a fool.
