Chapter 7: Peach Blossom Luck
Then the flower market festival officially began, the judges sat around a group from the color, quality, and types of flowers one by one to select, and then after half an hour of heated discussion, they unanimously selected the most beautiful flower, that is, Li Yan's white peony.
Everyone stepped forward to congratulate, Ye Ruotang saw that it was over, and felt bored and led Luzhu to go elsewhere.
"What's there to do here?"
"Actually, there's nothing fun about it," Luzhu thought for a moment, "Otherwise, let's go to the magpie bridge in front."
"Magpie Bridge? Isn't it the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl? ”
"Yes, but that magpie bridge is not the magpie bridge of the cowherd and the weaver girl, but Nanxun's own magpie bridge. Every year on Tanabata, there are many people waiting to meet their crush," said Midoritake and laughed.
Ye Ruotang thought about it, what if he could meet his Prince Charming, "then go and see"
It took two streets to come to the Queqiao, because it was not Tanabata, there were no people on it, and occasionally there were two passers-by.
Locust trees are planted on both sides of the bridge, and branches have just emerged.
Ye Ruotang didn't panic and went to the bridge, and sat down in the pavilion under the bridge, his feet were a little sore after standing for so long.
Moreover, meeting Prince Charming is very serious, and you must not be hasty.
After exhaling deeply, and after making mental preparations, he was about to leave, when he heard a voice behind him, which seemed to be calling himself.
Turning his head to look, wasn't this Li Yan who was walking towards him? Why is he here? Could it be that he came with him?
"Childe will call me again?"
"Exactly"
"What?"
"This pot of flowers for the girl"
Ye Ruotang was surprised for a while: "Why did you send me?" ”
"Xu feels that he has a fate with the girl"
Ye Ruotang's cheeks flushed instantly, isn't this talking to himself, I didn't expect that in modern times, I never talked about a boyfriend until I died, but in ancient times, I had peach blossom luck as soon as I went out.
Ye Ruotang stretched out his hand to take the flower, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, he was about to say something, but he didn't want to be hit by something, he didn't stand firm, the white peony in his hand flew out in an instant, and the flower and the soil were separated and fell aside.
He fell to the ground hard, and his eyes caught a glimpse of a dark red.
"Miss, are you okay?" Luzhu hurriedly stepped forward to help the woman up.
"Girl, are you alright?" Li Yan frowned and asked with some concern.
Ye Ruotang got up and rubbed his buttocks, dare to spoil Miss Ben's peach blossom luck? He rolled up his sleeves and chased in the direction of the man.
After running for a long time without seeing a figure, Ye Ruotang was panting tiredly, and a few beads of sweat rolled off his forehead.
"Even if you kid runs fast, I'll let you go today, don't let me see you again"
Just as he was about to leave, he saw several masked night men walking in from the entrance of the alley with a knife in their hands.
Ye Ruotang saw it, and swallowed nervously, isn't it, there are robbers in broad daylight? Are they robbing money or sex?
Exhaled deeply, no, don't panic, be calm, I won't move if the enemy doesn't move.
So Ye Ruotang stood in place and looked at them motionlessly, and for a long time when he stood for a stick of incense, the group couldn't stand.
Moving his limbs, the leader said, "You're in a group with him?" ”
"Who....... Who? ”
"It's the man just now"
Ye Ruotang slapped his palm suddenly, "You said him, I don't know him, just now he broke my pot of rare flowers and ran away, I came to chase him and make him lose money." Why do you owe you money, big brothers? ”
A skinny man behind him said, "Big brother, don't talk nonsense with her, I think they are a gang, ....... together" said and made a gesture to wipe his neck.
"Big brothers, I really don't know him, I swear" Ye Ruotang raised his finger and stood to the sky, "If I knew the person just now, I wouldn't be able to die of thunder and thunder"
"Big brother, if she runs out and reports to the official......."
Ye Ruotang glared at the thin man, eager to strangle him.
Ye Ruotang tightly protected his neck, "Big brother, I'm ........ I'm just a weak woman."
The leader thought for a moment and felt that what he said made sense: "She will be handed over to you, and the others will follow me."
Only the thin and tall man and Ye Ruotang were left in the alley.
The man pressed forward step by step, and the girl kept retreating until her back hit a cold wall, and there was no way back.
"Look, plane," Ye Ruotang stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.
The man looked at it very cooperatively, taking advantage of the moment, Ye Ruotang ran wildly at great speed, and after running for less than two steps, he suddenly felt a force kicking his waist behind him, stumbling on his legs, and falling to the ground fiercely.
The man glared at her, "Playing tricks with the master?" ”
It's over, it's over.
Fang Cai's kick made Ye Ruotang's bones almost fall apart, and he couldn't run anymore, Ye Ruotang gave up struggling.
The knife in the man's hand had not fallen for a long time, Ye Ruotang felt a little curious, and when he opened one eye, the man had already been knocked to the ground, but there was a man standing not far away.
Did he save himself?
Ye Ruotang got up in embarrassment, and the group of people just now came back.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the man put his arm around the woman's waist and flew to the roof with a slight touch.
The group of people chased after them, and the man did it lightly, and he shook off the group of people in two or three strokes.
The man sat on the hillside, while Ye Ruotang sat on the ground rubbing his waist, looking around, "Where is this?" ”
"I don't know"
"And who are you?"
"You don't have to know"
"..........." A group of black crows floated over Ye Ruotang's head.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, Ye Ruotang suddenly remembered that he was going home soon, and stood up with difficulty holding on to his injured old waist, but ......... Where should I go home?
Looking at the man on the hillside, the afterglow of the setting sun hit the man's beautiful face like a painting.
Ye Ruotang looked a little distracted, and the man turned his head to meet the girl's gaze.
"Is there something on my face?"
"Nope."
"Then why are you looking at me like that?"
"Look at you well-looking, so look at it twice"
“..........”
"I'm going home, but I don't know the way," Ye Ruotang said with confidence.
"Where do you live?"
"Yefu"
The man came down from the hillside, pointed to the right and "take this way" and walked towards the front.
Ye Ruotang's back hurts, he can't get up straight, and he walks very slowly.
The man saw that she hadn't followed for a long time, and he was a little impatient, so he simply walked back and bent his knees slightly to "come up"
Ye Ruotang was stunned for a moment, and then got on the man's back, it was best not to walk by himself.
The man asked, "What is the relationship between Ye Hecong and you?" ”
"Are you stupid, naturally my father" Ye Ruotang gave her a roll of his eyes.
The man's head tilted slightly, "You are Ye Hecong's second daughter?" ”
"I'm the concubine of Ye Mansion," Ye Ruotang said angrily.
Ye He has always been a member of Concubine De's faction, and secretly helped Concubine De do things.
However, I have only heard of the second lady of Ye Mansion, and this eldest lady has never heard of it.
"What do you think?" The girl looked at the man stunned in place, this person wouldn't look at himself and look like a sinking fish and a goose, right?
Patted the man on the shoulder, "I'm coming down"
After landing on the ground, Ye Ruotang tightened his clothes, wrapped his hands around his chest, and took two steps back, although this person is good-looking, but the most important thing in this ancient woman is innocence.
The man came back to his senses and said disdainfully, "It's medieval, don't worry, I'm not interested in you."
"Oh, no, what do you mean? Am I ugly? Ye Ruotang took two steps forward, no matter how he is, he is also a beauty, what does his expression mean?
"You're still in time, aren't you?"
"So what?" Ye Ruotang is not mistaken, the ancient He Lu was fifteen years old, and the last time I heard Lu Yan talk about it, he would be in two months.
The "little kid" man threw down a sentence and walked forward.
"You're just a little kid" But I'm really small in front of you, and I don't know that you're thousands of years older than me.
Ye Ruotang followed closely behind the man, this wilderness, unfamiliar with life, don't look back and lose yourself again.
"Do you remember the way back to Yefu?"
Ye Ruotang shook his head, "I rarely go out of the house" Since I came to this ancient time, I haven't been out of the house at all!!
The man inquired with a passer-by, and then he knew the way.
"You and that Li Yan are still far away" The man's abrupt words made Ye Ruotang puzzled.
"Why?"
Wouldn't it be said that this Li Yan looks like a scholar outside, but in fact, he loves to come and go between flowers and willows, and there are countless confidants. The other had a vicious mind, but everyone who provoked him went to the palace of Hades.
"He is a broken sleeve," the man whispered next to Ye Ruotang's ear.
Ye Ruotang froze in place when he heard this, and his whole body was excited........ Broken sleeves, I don't look like it."
"Will the man with a broken sleeve be written on his face?"
"That's reasonable, thank you" Ye Ruotang learned from what he looked like on TV, clasped his hands into fists, and thanked the man.
Then the two of them didn't say a word, and walked one after the other.
Ye Ruotang's waist didn't hurt as much as Fang Cai, and he stepped on his shadow behind the man.
Suddenly, there was a sudden brake in front, Ye Ruotang didn't stop it for a while, and his head hit the man's back, causing pain.
"Why don't you leave?"
"Arrived"
Ye Ruotang poked out his head, and it really arrived.
"Thank you" rubbed his head as he walked towards the back door.
The man paused for a moment, the corners of his lips slightly hooked, "It's an interesting woman"
Ye Ruotang tiptoed open the back door, thinking that people didn't know it, but as soon as he entered the door, he was caught.
"Yo, why did the big sister come back now?" It was Ye Zhinan who spoke, looking gloating.
Looking for the voice, there were still a lot of people standing, and when he saw the last cold face, Ye Ruotang was startled.
"Father.......... Dear, it's so late and you haven't rested."
"Where have you been?" Ye Hecong's face was cold, with a little anger.
"Isn't it the Flower Market Festival today, I was bored and went out to have a look"
"Then why did you come back so late?"
When Ye Ruotang heard this, he hurriedly got up, walked to Ye Hecong's side, and squeezed two lines to clear his tears, "Father doesn't know, on the way back, I met a group of robbers, and I almost couldn't save my life, and I was able to escape thanks to a son-in-law's rescue" After speaking, he cried even more pear blossoms and rain, and glanced at Ye Hecong from time to time.
Sure enough, Ye He's complexion softened slightly, and he was about to say something, but was interrupted by the Li family.
"Ruotang is not injured, it's too dangerous outside, don't go out in the future." Besides, if something happens to the Ye Mansion's reputation, it won't be easy for the master to do it."
Well, it's on her again.
Ye Ruotang sniffed, "Thank you for your concern, but my waist is a little injured, and everything else is fine." But today I also saw my second sister when I was outside, and it seemed that she was with a man."
"You are talking nonsense" Ye Zhinan was confused for a while, and Li pulled her sleeve on the side, "Big sister is wrong, I am staying in my mother's room today"
"Yes, sir. Today, Nan'er has been embroidering in my room, and she hasn't gone out for half a step."
"Maybe I'm dazzled."
"Okay, let's find a doctor tomorrow" Ye He flicked his sleeve and left.
Ye Zhinan secretly hated Ye Ruotang, and was dragged away by the Li family.
When Lu Zhu and Lu Yan, who had been kneeling behind for a long time, were about to get up, they found that their feet were numb, and Ye Ruotang saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to pull it.
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay big lady"
"Let's go back to Beiyuan first"
After walking for a long time, Ye Ruotang's feet were already sore, and when he returned to Beiyuan, he went to the soft collapse, which was very comfortable.
"Why are they all guarding there?"
"It was in the afternoon, and the lady came and said that she was looking for the eldest lady to go to the backyard to enjoy the flowers, and then I found out that the eldest lady was not there," said Lu Yan.
"Why did Li Bingqin suddenly come to me to enjoy the flowers?" Since he knew what this Li family was called, Ye Ruotang had never called his second aunt again, calling her by her name.
"I said I was afraid that the eldest lady would be bored in Beiyuan"
"Joke, why haven't I seen her here before" It's a coincidence that I will come to myself when I go out, there must be a ghost in it.
Could it be that the person I saw outside today was really Ye Zhinan?
Lonely men and widows pull and pull, what kind of system has they become..........
"By the way, Luzhu, how can you just take the eldest lady out?" Midori turned to look at Midori and accused.
Luzhu knew that he was at a loss, and buried his head low, "I won't dare next time"
"Okay, green her, don't blame her, I was bored and asked her to take me out to play"
"Miss........."
"I'm a little tired, wait for me to freshen up"
"Yes, Miss"
A few petals were sprinkled in the water, and Ye Ruotang suddenly lost his mind when he soaked in it, thinking of the man.
Not to mention it's quite handsome, it's just a complete blow to those Korean Oba, okay.
With a tall nose bridge and a perfect side face, if it were placed in modern times, the girls chasing him would probably be lined up in Beijing.
Ye Ruotang laughed when he thought about it, and the green diaphragm was a little infiltrating when he watched it from the side.
"Miss, is there something happy about this?"
"No, no," Ye Ruotang waved his hand again and again.
