In March, the spring breeze blew all over the fields of Maiton, the mountains and forests that were still a little bleak seemed to be dyed with verdant faces overnight, and the grass also unconsciously spread across the plain sky, and white clouds floated in the blue sky, and on the ground, the white sheep like clouds moved slowly on a tender green blanket, and occasionally a few people appeared, but it was a beautiful shepherd girl, digging out bright spring clothes from the bottom of the suitcase, and dressing herself up as beautiful as flowers

Two horses came in the distance, both young and handsome men, one was a strong Jiao, and the other was very gentle-looking, the former smiled and pointed out the "good scenery" around him, and his bright smile attracted many girls to look at him secretly

A bold shepherdesswoman picked a handful of fragrant wild flowers, and at the instigation of her sisters, she bent down politely, took the flowers with a smile, and whispered something in her mouth, and the shepherdess blushed with shame, and floated back to her companions like butterflies, and the girls anxiously pulled her to inquire about the handsome girl, and from time to time her eyes came to her, and laughed like silver bells

Jiao smiled brightly at them again, then turned back to her companion and exclaimed, "What a day, I love Mahiton!" ”

His companion was not interested in this at all, and pulled the corners of his mouth: "It's almost noon, aren't you hungry?" Hurry up and find the inn."

Jiao was a little disappointed: "Alex, you are always so boring!" He saw that among the girls opposite, the beautiful girl who had just offered flowers always peeked at him, so he no longer paid attention to the urging of his friends: "This is so close to the city, you go first, stay in the store you mentioned yesterday, I will go to the neighborhood first, and visit my friends by the way" His eyes never left the girl, and the other party seemed to be a little aware, and laughed with the sisters a few times, so he left first, and drove the sheep to the woods on the edge of the grassland, dressed up and dressed up, and rode his horse in the same direction with his head held high

Alex frowned slightly, but thinking that this was someone else's private matter, he stopped talking and walked straight towards the city of Merton at the foot of the mountain

When he arrived in the city, he found that the streets were more prosperous than when he came back, there were more than a dozen shops, local and foreign merchants came and went, Esther and Nojia were the most dressed people, but there were also a few Weisand and Shaonan people, and most of the residents of the city were ruddy and seemed to be living well, and he secretly wrote down these things, and regained his admiration for the current lord of Dimeton

He saw the red roof of the familiar inn from afar, walked through the market, ignored the admiring gaze of the young girl or middle-aged aunt he met along the way, booked two rooms in the inn, and returned to the street, intending to go to the Lord's Castle on the other side of the city, but was attracted by the conversation between father and daughter in front of a restaurant on the side of the road

The father was blowing his beard and glaring, "Didn't you ask you to invite Miss Minna?" Why don't you go at this time?! ”

His daughter rolled her eyes: "Dad, Miss Minna has been here a long time ago, but you patronized and quarreled with the owner of the fish shop at that time, and you ignored my Miss at all, since you are not available, she will not bother first, and she will come back when you are done."

"What?" Father jumped up violently, "Why didn't you say it earlier?!" So what to do? It's all that bastard's fault! If he hadn't carelessly delivered the wrong fish, I would have made a new dish for Miss Minna to taste! ”

His daughter reluctantly pressed her father: "Don't be excited, Dad, aren't you suspicious that the fish in the fish shop are not fresh enough?" Miss Minna said she was going to go to Lake Merton to catch a few fish for you, and she was probably going to be back."

"Really?" The father turned his anger into joy: "Then let's get ready immediately!" This time, I must make the most delicious fish steak for Miss Minna to eat, lest the crooked-necked old man across from me always say that he is the best cook in Mayton! ”

The daughter fell into the realm of being instructed by her father again, and Alex smiled slightly and turned back to the outside of the city

After a few rounds of cattle and two carts full of forage, he came to the shores of Lake Merton

The lake water is as clear as ever, surrounded by forests, forests, waterside grass, dotted with colorful flowers, drinking from afar, he saw not far from the water's edge lying a red figure, with a big straw hat to cover his face, beside him with a branch set up a fishing rod, silk line hanging into the water, gently shaking

He held back a smile, picked up a small stone from the ground, and quietly walked over, when he was still twenty or thirty meters away from the red figure, he saw the other party suddenly move, and hurriedly threw the stone away, and was about to fall on the other party's head, but was blocked by the other party with a straw hat, revealing a beautiful face

It's a pity that the originally beautiful facial features are ruined a lot by the big round eyes now, and Alex laughed: "What? Miss Minna doesn't welcome me? ”

"Tian Ai is Alex!" Minna immediately rolled over and looked at her friend who had been absent for half a year in surprise, "Aren't you in Ito?" How could it come?! ”

Alex smiled: "I'm tired of living at home, so I walked around, and I happened to pass by Merton, and I came to you" He sat down on a big rock by the water's edge and glanced at the fishing rod, "I heard that you were fishing here, and I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect our Miss Dimina to have such a hobby that tests patience"

"Are you implying that I'm impatient?" Minna snorted lightly, and her skirt moved, and she had already kicked up a splash of water, right in Alex's face

Alex calmly took out a handkerchief to wipe the water from his face, and said lightly: "Of course you have patience, so you just sat by the water and fell asleep, not even knowing that the fish had eaten the bait and ran away"

Minna hurriedly went to check the fishing rod, and sure enough, she found that the bait on the top was gone, and she was a little discouraged, so she hurriedly reloaded the bait and threw the hook into the water

Alex turned his gaze to her exposed calves

Unlike other aristocratic ladies with soft and white skin, the skin on Minna's face and hands is all healthy honey, only the legs are white and a pair of half-submerged calves in the water, slender and powerful, and the shape is really perfect...

He couldn't help but look up along his calf, but saw it kick violently, and turned his head in a hurry, but he still hit a splash, so he had to wipe it silently and glance at Minna: "You are a sneak attack!" ”

Minna glared at him, "What are you looking at?!" It's uncomfortable! She withdrew her legs and covered them with a large skirt

"I'm just appreciating beautiful things" Alex said with some regret, "By the way, it's amazing that time can make such a big change in a person" He spread his hands, "Seeing you, who would have thought that you were a man three years ago"

Minna smiled, "Are you complimenting me?" It sounds a little weird, but I still have to say thank you" She made a noble salute by twisting the corners of her skirt like tweezers, but only moved her upper body

Alex looked surprised: "Time is really magical!" I remember last summer a little nobleman complimented you on your beauty, and you told the horse to kick him, and now you actually thank me?! ”

"Can't you?" Minna blushed a little, "It's the first time I've done this, my mother said, people compliment me on me means I'm attractive, this is something a lady should be proud of, but I still feel very uncomfortable, you're my good friend, so it doesn't matter, if someone else changes, I'll still feel angry"

"That's my pleasure," Alex replied with a bent bow, "but... It sounds like your mother is educating you as a lady, but please tell me, this kind of horror is not true."

Minna grinded her teeth, looked left and right, found a few pieces of mud, and threw them casually, Alex quickly avoided his mouth and shouted, "Don't tell me you really learned!" ”

Minna stared at him with two eyes, and suddenly deflated: "If you don't study, you can't do it, my mother pesters me every day!" Asked me to learn everything she had learned when she was young, and then to learn everything she hadn't learned when she was young, and to make me the most fashionable clothes every day, so I asked someone to inquire about Ito's latest skirt style! God of Light, can you imagine me dressed like that?! ”

Alex looked her up and down, looking at the milky white silk shirt lapels and sleeves on her body so clean that there was not even a lace, and then look at the men's leather vest she wore outside the shirt, but the big red se dress on the lower body was still a bit feminine, but when she saw the black se riding boots that she kicked to the side, she immediately pinched the softness of this woman

He recalled that when he was at home, he saw the "fashionable" dress of the aristocratic ladies, and intended to imagine that Minna was like them, wearing a gorgeous low-cut dress, with a thin waist, walking as light as a cloud, speaking softly, going out to a banquet with only two pieces of dim sum (the belt would break), fainting when excited, or fainting with hunger...

He shuddered and said solemnly to Minna, "You better keep it like this."

Minna smiled with satisfaction: "Right? You think so too, so my mom was wrong! She suddenly felt the fishing rod move, and quickly lifted it, and a fat fish slapped its tail and struggled on the hook, and she threw it into the fishing basket neatly, she packed up the fishing gear, put on her boots, raised her head, and waved the fishing rod to crack her teeth, forcing Alex to look away again

She walked over and picked him up, and said, "Come to my house!" Ask Winnie to make her favorite fish soup, don't you love it? By the way, help me persuade my mother to stop letting me wear that kind of clothes, it's so embarrassing! To show so much meat! ”

Alex raised an eyebrow, feeling that if he wasn't wearing it in public, that kind of dress actually had a unique beauty, and he glanced at the fish basket in her hand: "Aren't you going to try the fish steak in a certain restaurant?" ”

Minna waved her hand: "Every day restaurants invite me to taste new dishes, today I want to eat Winnie's made"

Alex didn't object, he was in a good mood, and under Minna's pull, he walked into the castle of Lord Merton, and then looked at the newly hung paintings in the living room with appreciative eyes

Minna shouted, "Mom! Mom! Alex is coming! Where are you? ”

Dora walked down the stairs and glared at her daughter, "Don't scream! Is this still like a lady? Don't forget, you're eighteen! No more wayward little kids! Are you playing at the lake again? Look at the grass in your hair! Then he put on a warm smile and said to Alex, "Welcome, Alex, you look so good."

Alex lightly grasped the three fingers of Dora's right hand, bent down and bowed: "Good day, aunt, your painting skills are getting better and better, that autumn mountain is really a masterpiece!" ”

Dora was delighted: "Really? Minna resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and suddenly saw a slap-sized piece of blood on the hem of her mother's skirt, and her face changed: "Mom, what's wrong with you?" Hurt?! ”

"Oh, no," Dora lowered her voice, her eyes glancing to the second floor, "it's your two cousins here, and their friends - they seem to have been attacked"

(Doesn't seem to have any emotion...) Could it be that the style has changed too much for a while? ）
