Chapter Twenty-Eight: Under the Pear Tree
When Shi Yan came to the garment bureau, Yu Yang had been practicing for a while, he stood behind her and watched for a long time, until the down pen in Yu Yang's hand was split and needed to be replaced, she found Shi Yan standing next to her, and greeted him with a smile: "Lord Shi Yan, are you here?" ”
Shi Yan smiled, he picked up the pattern that Yu Yang was drawing, looked at the few sheets spread out on the table, and said to her, "Didn't you go back quite late yesterday, and come so early today?" The coming days are long, and you have to pay attention to rest. ”
"No, no, no!" Yu Yang hurriedly shook his head, "My level can't keep up with everyone, so naturally I have to work harder, by the way, Lord Shi Yan, can you help me take a look at this pattern?" ”
"Nature."
Shi Yan moved a chair and sat next to Yu Yang, and before he had time to tidy up his seat, he immediately began to help this anxious student teach.
Shi Yan deserves to be a national player, in less than two days, Yuyang has already felt a huge growth, he can't take a break, and when the meal time comes, he only grabs a cake in his hand, while drawing, while gnawing, refusing to waste a minute and a second that Shi Yan can guide in person.
But after all, this is a garment bureau, and design is only a part of daily work, drawing, material selection, garment making, repairing, restructuring, measuring, recording, and sending clothes...... No one can do what they want here. In the afternoon, Gu Renwen, who had been running for a long time and returned to the Garment Bureau, saw Shi Yan sitting next to Yuyang and giving careful guidance, and suddenly became angry, she asked the officials around her: "What, Shi Yan has been teaching her?" ”
"Yes...... Yesterday was okay, but today Master Shi Yan has been with her for a long time and has been teaching her the basics. ”
"Humph! Seeing that it was Mrs. Qingning's subordinates, he went to stammer like this, why did he Shi Yan not know his identity so much? Civilians are civilians! It will only be mixed with civilians and complied with it! The more Gu Renwen spoke, the more angry he became, and when he saw the officials around him holding some clothes, he asked, "Are these modified clothes?" ”
"Yes."
Thinking that she would have to run errands everywhere to send these clothes, and just sending them would be enough for her to get to the point where her legs hurt, Gu Renwen had a plan and said: "Go, give these to her, you must finish them today, otherwise you are not allowed to come back!" ”
The officials agreed again and again, although Shi Yan and Gu Renwen were of the same rank, but Gu Renwen was one of the ten nobles of Wanting, and the Gu family had a head and a face, and Shi Yan was a commoner who entered the court, without the support of his family, and was naturally a dwarf.
Holding the big stack of clothes, the official walked to Yu Yang's side and put the clothes on the table next to Yu Yang, Shi Yan and Yu Yang looked up at him together, Yu Yang asked, "This is?" ”
"This is your work for the afternoon, so make sure you get these clothes in place today."
After the official finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for Yu Yang's reply. Shi Yan recognized him and knew that it was Gu Renwen's cronies, so he frowned and said, "It's okay not to go, I'll go and tell Renwen." ”
As soon as Shi Yan finished speaking, Yu Yang was already holding his clothes and preparing to set off, and said, "When they came, they told me that this is also the work I have to do, Lord Shi Yan, you should be busy first!" I'll go back as soon as I go. ”
"......"
Before Shi Yan stopped her, she had already trotted downstairs with those clothes. Packing the clothes into the wooden box at the door of the garment bureau, Yuyang carefully read the address on the list, and then realized that they were the clothes of twelve different masters, some were skirts, some were single clothes, and some were just headdresses, but she was new to the city and didn't know anything about Yayu City.
Yu Yang was in a difficult situation, so he could only ask the guard at the door first, the guard looked at the list, pointed her to the nearest place, and told her how to go, she thanked her again and again, and walked towards the nearest palace to the west, but Yayu City is a city ten times larger than Ruian City, and to find a small and inconspicuous house here, it can be described as a needle in the bottom of the sea for a person who does not have a map at hand.
Walking towards the west, after walking around the houses for half an hour, Yuyang couldn't even find the first address, and his legs were already a little sore. What she didn't know was that someone had been following her for half an hour.
At this time, the man remembered the peony flower that day for her, smiled helplessly, and had to go around and pretend to meet in front of her.
"Young Master Night Wind?" The anxious Yu Yang suddenly met the night wind at the corner of the trail at this moment, and she was very happy to meet someone she knew in this huge labyrinth, but she saw the night wind appearing alone in this remote place, she felt strange, and hurriedly asked him, "Why is the young master of the night wind here?" ”
Night Wind stood in front of her, his obsidian eyes flashing with a kind smile, pretending to be a coincidental surprise, and said, "Your Majesty sent me to find someone, I just finished the task, what about you, how can you be in such a remote place?" ”
"I ......" Yu Yang laughed embarrassedly and said embarrassedly, "I seem to be ...... Lost. ”
Night Wind had already watched her walk for a long time with the huge wooden box, and was busy taking the box and saying, "I'll help you get it." ”
Seeing that Night Wind wanted to help him move things, Yu Yang was so frightened that he retreated again and again, shook his head and said nervously: "Young Master Night Wind's daughter's body, how can you let you do such rough work." ”
Seeing her so angry, Ye Feng's heart sank, but he was only depressed for a moment, he still stretched out his hand, took the box away despite Yu Yang's obstruction, looked at the address on the box, walked in the direction of the destination, and said to Yu Yang as he walked: "I'm a man, how can I watch from the side with peace of mind?" ”
"I'm ......" Yu Yang walked behind him empty-handed, worried that she would cause trouble for his wife as an official of Ryan City.
Night Wind analyzed: "There are twelve addresses in the list you have in hand, if you are asked to find them one by one, maybe they may not be able to be delivered in the middle of the night, I have already thought of the path, you follow me, I will take you one by one." ”
"Huh?" Hearing that Young Master Night Wind was going to take her to these twelve addresses, Yu Yang was so frightened that he trotted to him, stretched out his arms to stop him, and stopped him eagerly and uneasily, "Don't let Young Master Night Wind, just leave these little rough jobs to me, how dare you bother you so much, please give me the box, I can come by myself, you must not delay the work of Your Majesty." ”
Night Wind stood in place, looking at the strange caution in her eyes, listening to the "you" in her words, he felt that it was not Yuyang who was really at a loss at the moment, but himself. He looked into Yu Yang's eyes, sorted out his thoughts, and said, "You're Ling Tian's friend, right." ”
Hearing him ask like this, Yu Yang didn't know how to answer for a while, if others asked, she really replied that she was Ling Tian's friend, which was a big arrogance, but when she thought that Ye Feng and Ling Tian were close friends, she also let down her guard, and nodded Mu Ne.
Seeing her admit, Night Wind said: "His friend, naturally also my friend, you don't have to be so polite." He took two steps forward, less than half a foot away in front of Yu Yang, and Yu Yang put down the hands that were holding him back, still looking at him a little nervously.
He smiled easily, walked around behind Yu Yang, and continued to walk forward, urging Yu Yang to follow his steps: "Let's go, we have to hurry." ”
After this conversation, Yu Yang decided that he helped him because of Ling Tian, and the pressure in his heart was much less, so he could rest assured that he would follow him. The night breeze walked briskly, a straight white military uniform carved with patterns embroidered with gold threads, as a commander, he did not need to wear a hat, and his dark hair was still black in the afternoon sun. He wore a long sword at his waist that was much more slender than an ordinary sword, and the pattern decoration on it didn't look like something of this era, which made Yu Yang feel curious, stared at it for a long time, and unconsciously bent down slightly.
Night Breeze in a hurry used her afterglow to see her small movements, realized that she was looking at her saber, slowed down, and asked her, "Yuyang, are you looking at the Night God Sword?" ”
"Hmm......" She nodded embarrassedly and asked him, "This sword is called the Night God Sword?" It looks as if it ...... It's been a certain number of years, right? ”
"Well, this is the family heirloom of our Fuzhi family, which is more than three hundred years old."
"Is it decoration, then?"
Night Wind looked at her for a moment, showed a relaxed smile as if talking about an old friend, and said in a slightly proud tone: "The swords in our imperial guard have been cut off a lot by it, and even Ling Tian won't let me use it to practice swords with him, for fear that his good sword will be opened." ”
"Is it so powerful?" Hearing the description of the night breeze, Yu Yang's eyes showed a light of adoration, and he lowered his head to savor the patterns on it, his heart was itching, and he begged a little embarrassedly, "Hmm...... Master Night Wind, when are you free, can you lend me the Night God Sword for a while, I want to draw down the pattern on it. ”
"Naturally."
Receiving Night Wind's answer, Yu Yang nodded with joy and thanked, "Thank you, Young Master Night Wind." ”
Listening to her talk to herself with honorifics over and over again, Ye Feng rarely aroused a trace of irritability in his heart, he stopped, looked at Yu Yang, but did not speak, and frightened Yu Yang, who hurriedly stopped, and mistakenly thought that she had said something wrong, so he had to stand with his head down like a child who had done something wrong, and secretly raised his eyes to look at his expression, which was a little angry, but only soft and angry.
Ye Feng felt strange, he was not an impatient person, and he was never angry, but at the moment, he was a little choked, and he didn't vomit unpleasantly: "Yuyang, maybe I'm a little presumptuous, but ...... I hope you can treat me as your good friend as you did with Ling Tian. ”
Hearing him speak to her in a sincere and cautious tone, Yu Yang was a little surprised, she raised her head, looked into his eyes, and saw that she no longer avoided eye contact, and the expression of the night breeze revealed a little more tenderness, not the usual treatment of others, it was a kind of tenderness that overflowed from the heart, wanting to protect her and get closer to her.
But Yuyang is not such a simple person who can open her heart, since she entered Ruian City, she has understood the truth that she must be cautious everywhere, even if the night wind is so sincere, she still does not dare to be presumptuous, just look into his eyes, show a cautious smile, and say to him: "After that, in a place where no one else is, I will call you Night Wind like Ling Tian, is it okay?" I don't know if this is an usurpation of identity......"
Night Wind finally smiled reassuringly, and he asked Yu Yang: "Identity...... What do you think, what is identity? ”
"Huh?" Yu Yang just relaxed a little, and became nervous again as soon as he asked a question, she thought for a long time, and had to smile and scratch her head and say, "It should be...... The difference in rank, right? ”
Night Wind shook his head and said to her, "Actually, I am like most people in this world, ordinary, ordinary, as small as dust in this world. It's just that I will be the Lord of the Red Domain, and I will have to have a heavy layer of shackles than the others. My life does not belong to myself, it belongs to Wanting, belongs to the Fuzhi family, belongs to the people of the Red Regions, this is my identity. In fact, identity is just a nice way to say, and identity is just an ordinary person wearing different shackles. ”
A gust of wind in the afternoon blew through the pear trees swaying beside them, blowing off the snow-like petals, in the rare spring sunshine, each one shining brilliantly, Yuyang stared blankly at him standing in the wind, the black hair danced gently with the wind and the pear blossoms, but these were not as dazzling as his gentle and sincere smile.
At this moment, Yu Yang finally let go of the caution in her heart, and she also felt for the first time why everyone could talk about this noble young master with a noble status cordially.
Seeing that Yuyang seemed to be in a daze, the night wind urged her to set off, and the two continued to walk towards the palace not far away, the crisp sound of military boots stepping on the stone pavement, accompanied by the chirping and singing on the treetops in the afternoon, quiet and beautiful.
