Chen Beibei walked in, Nie Xiaoqian's house, although it was only a mud brick house.

But there are many ink paintings hanging on the wall, noble and proud plum blossoms, elegant and ethereal orchids.

"Those were all drawn by a little woman, which made Childe smile......"

When Nie Xiaoqian spoke, she was a little shy.

It's obviously very beautiful, and it seems that the ancient woman is still modest.

After Nie Xiaoqian finished speaking, she took out a piece of rice paper, spread it on the table, and pressed two bamboo pieces on both ends of the rice paper.

Then with the cuff of the left hand and the cuff of the right hand, I picked up the ink.

Paperweight, grinding, pencil ......

"Girl, what is this for?"

"Childe, don't you want a portrait of that person? Although there is no ready-made one, I have him in my heart, and I will draw him......"

Nie Xiaoqian said lightly.

Then leaned over slightly and drew on the paper.

The pen is extremely gentle, and it is delicately depicted.

The soft light of the setting sun sprinkled on the woman's body, making people feel that there was a faint golden glow on the woman's body.

Chen Beibei stood quietly and watched, and he didn't know how long time had passed, and he was already a little fascinated.

"Childe, it's okay......"

Nie Xiaoqian looked at Chen Beibei and said softly.

Chen Beibei came back to his senses, and the sunset outside the window was gone.

In its place is a crooked moon.

I don't know when, a kerosene lamp was lit in the room.

"Oh...... Oh......"

Chen Beibei didn't slow down a little, it seemed that everything just now appeared in a dream.

Otherwise, how could that woman become so holy and beautiful at that moment......

"This is the appearance of that man, if the son can find him. Please tell him that there is a woman waiting for him in Lanruo Temple......"

Nie Xiaoqian picked up the painting on the table and handed it to Chen Beibei.

Although it is drawn with a brush, the ink has only one color.

But the white of the rice paper and the black of the ink still outline the complete appearance of the man.

Wearing a long-sleeved shirt, he was dressed as a literati of that era.

Carrying a book on his back (a bag that carried books and scriptures in ancient times), he was of medium stature and looked very gentle.

"Well, I remember. I'll leave early tomorrow morning, and I wonder if the girl knows where his house is."

Chen Beibei took Ning Caichen's portrait and asked the woman.

"I only know his name, nothing else......"

When the woman spoke, she lowered her head and felt a little ashamed.

"Rest assured, girl, I will find him."

Chen Beibei is very clear about Nie Xiaoqian's story, so he is still very confident in finding Ning Caichen.

It stands to reason that Ning Caichen should not live up to Nie Xiaoqian.

I guess something happened on the way, or someone stopped me when I got home.

"Little girl, thank you here."

Nie Xiaoqian saluted Chen Beibei and said gratefully.

Chen Beibei took Ning Caichen's portrait and left Nie Xiaoqian's room.

After all, in the middle of the night, it is always a little bad for lonely men and widows to be in the same room.

Before, it was to wait for her to paint, but now that the painting has been obtained, it is time to go out.

"Good night, girl."

"Good night......?"

There was a hint of confusion on the woman's face, presumably another incomprehensible word.

"Just get a good night's sleep......"

"Oh. Childe, good night......"

Chen Beibei helped Nie Xiaoqian close the door and returned to his room.

……

"Master, you've been in that beautiful sister's room for so long......"

Firefly looked at Chen Beibei and said ill-intentionedly.

"Just waiting for her to draw......"

Chen Beibei interrupted Firefly's words, and then shook the painting in his hand.

"What a painting, show me."

Firefly snatched the painting from Chen Beibei's hand, and then looked at it: "What a clean big brother." ”

"yes, we'll go find him tomorrow."

Chen Beibei took the portrait and said lightly.

If the portrait has been placed in the hands of Fireflies, Chen Beibei is still a little worried.

After all, rice paper in the hands of fireflies is definitely not able to withstand tossing.

Chen Beibei also went to bed and was ready to sleep.

The night in this era is still very comfortable.

The air was nice and then quiet, and through the windows the night sky outside was beautiful.

"Snow girl, don't you really come to bed?"

"Well, the master ......"

"Okay, good night then......"

In the heart of the Snow Girl, she actually knew that Chen Beibei would not touch her.

But she seems to have some spiritual cleanliness.

Probably, it's awkward to sleep in the same bed with a man other than your lover.

Or rather, there is a feeling of tarnishing that pure love.

Even if you don't do anything, you don't have any physical contact.

In the quiet of the night, everyone fell asleep quickly.

The next day, Chen Beibei got up very early.

The sun hasn't come out yet, the sky is a little dark, and the air is cold from an autumn morning.

Chen Beibei walked out of the door, but what he didn't expect was that Nie Xiaoqian had already gotten up.

"Childe, why did you get up so early?"

"Girl, aren't you the same?"

The woman sat on a stone by the well, thinly dressed, but as if it was not cold.

"Childe, you're on your way today, so I want to send Childe ......"

"Oh......"

Chen Beibei stood at his door and replied.

On the top of the woman's head is a branch of a wooden hibiscus tree that grows diagonally.

A few white hibiscus flowers were on top of the woman's head, with a little dew on them.

When Chen Beibei saw the hibiscus flower, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't gone to see the color of the hibiscus flower yesterday evening.

I can't help but feel a little annoyed......

"Childe, what's wrong?"

Nie Xiaoqian seemed to have seen through Chen Beibei's thoughts.

"What color is the hibiscus flower in the evening?"

"Wood hibiscus flowers?"

The woman asked, confused.

"It's those flower ......"

Chen Beibei pointed to the flower on the top of the woman's head and said lightly.

"Oh...... They're red......"

"Red?"

"Deep red, the color of blood."

The woman explained.

"Oh, thank you, girl."

Chen Beibei always doesn't pay attention to some things around him.

Now he finally knows the color of the hibiscus flower in the evening, but he is still told by others, what a careless person.

At this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the fireflies were still sleeping soundly.

The Snow Maiden leaned against the wall and didn't seem to wake up.

Fireflies and Snow Girl's expressions are very peaceful, so they must have slept very comfortably.

Chen Beibei didn't intend to wake them up, so he closed the door.

If you chat with Nie Xiaoqian like this, you won't disturb them.

Chen Beibei found a clean stone on the ground and sat down.

There was some dew on the stones, and the buttocks were slightly cold......

The two chatted casually, and Nie Xiaoqian talked about her first encounter with Ning Caichen, acquaintance, acquaintance, and love......

All of them are beautiful.

Until, that day, Ning Caichen entered Beijing to catch the exam, and all the good things came to an abrupt end.

With it, a long year of solitude awaited......
