Chapter 129: The Years Are Quiet
The wind and snow outside the window curtain are rolling, the lights in the carriage are bright, the silhouettes are in pairs, and the years are quiet.
In a trance, time stood still, and those dusty pictures in the depths of his memory became clearer and clearer in Su Jingqian's mind as the lights went out.
In the early summer of that year, the breeze was warm and the sky was clear.
In the courtyard, the rockery flowing water is piled up on the lotus pond, the dew drops are tumbling on the green lotus leaves, the flowers and trees stand in the wind, the branches and leaves of the sparse are swaying with the wind, sassy, the pink and white flowers are dotted in the meantime, the vermilion and green are intertwined, and they contrast with each other.
The garden is full of plants and trees, and the flowers are fragrant.
The young man in white sat under the flower tree, flipping through the scroll in his hand, the petals of the flowers were blown by the wind, dancing in the air, and the sky was swirling around him, occasionally falling in his hair.
The originally quiet and beautiful picture was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.
The young man raised his eyes and smiled at the door, the sunlight passed through the layers of branches and leaves, swaying a golden halo between his eyebrows, and the smile on his face was extremely vivid, and the face that amazed all beings became more and more brilliant.
I saw a red-clothed girl under the door walking towards him with light steps, a red dress like a blooming Manzhu Sahua, swaying between the steps, green silk pouring down like a waterfall, snow muscles and jade faces, extremely beautiful, even this blooming delicate flowers, also under her background, it looks overshadowed.
The girl walked up to him, sat down, and unceremoniously grabbed a piece of snack from the stone table, and ate it with great descent.
Seeing that she was eating in a hurry, the young man's eyebrows raised slightly, and he couldn't help but tease: "Why, the huge City Lord's Mansion has been emptied by you?" and came to me in search of food. ”
Although the young man was a little disgusted, he still poured a cup of tea and handed it to her.
"Eat slowly, and don't be afraid of choking on yourself."
Hearing the young man's advice, the girl answered vaguely, then took a sip of the teacup, and then continued to chew the pastry in her hand.
The young man propped up his chin with one hand and watched with interest as she put the dim sum into his mouth one by one, and from time to time he refilled the tea for her, and a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes always had a soft smile.
When the girl had finally eaten and drunk, she touched her stomach contentedly and let out a pleasant sigh.
The boy couldn't help but smile when he looked at the mess left behind the storm on the stone table, and the crumbs of pastry that remained on the girl's lips, and immediately reached out and brushed the corners of her mouth.
The girl looked at him with a smile and raised her chin cooperatively, allowing him to rub her fingertips against the corners of her lips to wipe away the remaining pastry dregs from her mouth.
The warm air is a little sweet, and the mottled light and shadow all over the ground move with the wind, changing and staggering, like a heavenly river full of broken stars, gently swaying among the pairs of human figures.
Suddenly, the girl seemed to think of something, the smile in her eyes suddenly fell, and she pouted and complained: "Nanling City is obviously the three of us going together, but my uncle only trained me alone, and he punished me for kneeling for a long time without saying anything, and he didn't let the kitchen get me food, I was about to starve to death." It's good for you to sit here and enjoy the tea and flowers, so comfortable, and I don't see you to intercede for me. ”
"Lin Wanwan, can you be reasonable?"
The young man heard the dissatisfaction and blame in her tone, he hugged his hands to his chest, raised his eyebrows slightly, and the soft color under his eyes was hidden, and the arrogance and recklessness of the boy spread out from the corners of his eyes.
"First, when you insisted on going to Nanling to see the mask assembly, did Rong Sui and I remind you that if you sneak away to Nanling this time, you will definitely be discovered by the Shen City Lord, and you will inevitably be punished when you come back, but you still insist on going. Second, my identity with Rong Sui is relatively special, and the city lord of Shen will not reprimand us on our tongues, but he may not stop there, maybe tomorrow he will find an excuse for us to practice the basic skills for a few days, and our end may not be better than yours. Third, if I go to intercede for you, I am undoubtedly fighting the fire, if the city lord of Shen is willing to be angry with me, it is fine, if not, then he will be angry with you, and then you will not only be punished for kneeling for half a day. ”
The young man's words are clear and clear, and every word is reasonable. The girl choked, and was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to refute.
The girl thought that she had been pressed by her uncle to practice the basic skills for half a day, and her body was already sore, and she lay in bed for two days before she got a little better. Thinking of this, the resentment in her heart disappeared in an instant, and she couldn't help but cast a compassionate look at the young man, but under those starry eyes, there was schadenfreude.
The young man leaned back lazily, raised his chin slightly, half-stared at her, and said leisurely: "It's good to let you increase your memory, lest you be too curious and poke out some baskets later." ”
The girl retorted unconvinced: "What's wrong with curiosity? Besides, what can I poke...... Basket ......"
At first, she still looked straightforward, but when she said that, her momentum gradually weakened, as if she recalled her past "great achievements", and after glancing at the young man with some weakness, she pretended to be calm and looked away.
The young man looked at her for a long time, and the light smile on his lips was clearly a little narrow.
"Oh?" The young man's tone was a little meaningful, he touched his chin thoughtfully, and thought a little embarrassed, "Then I have to think about it carefully, who carried me behind my back and sneaked into the den of mountain bandits, in vain to learn from the heroes in the book, robbing the rich and helping the poor, but almost put himself in?" Who is it, when he sneaked out, knowing that his whereabouts could not be revealed, but he still had to rely on his little three-legged cat kung fu, and when he saw that the road was uneven, he drew a knife to help, and finally asked me to save her? Who-"
"Su-Jin!"
Hearing the young man mention his past "great achievements" like a few treasures, the girl's forehead jumped, and she gritted her teeth and interrupted him.
The young man pursed his lips with some restraint, but he still couldn't hold back the smile in his eyes after all.
He laughed wildly, and his laughter was pleasant, like this intoxicating breeze gently blowing in the girl's ears, soothing the slight annoyance in her heart.
"You, you are curious and so fond of messing around, if you don't have me to clean up the mess for you, I don't know how many times you will be punished by Shen Cheng to kneel." Between the young man's dazzling eyebrows, there is still the usual arrogance and rebelliousness, but there is a little more indulgence and pampering at the bottom of his eyes, "If you leave me in the future, what will you do?" ”
The girl blinked her smart starry eyes and replied without thinking: "Then don't leave Ah Jin, anyway, no matter where Ah Jin is in the future, I will find Ah Jin." ”
