In Yangzhou City, Lu Jingyuan and Cao Ziya walked slowly on the street, after the battle of Mingtai Mountain, many things happened in the house, after Lu Jingyuan dealt with those things one by one, the suspended stone in his heart almost fell, after all, life has to go on, people can not always be immersed in the past, to look to the future.

The time has reached noon, the sun is like fire, although it is early spring, but it is extremely rare to have such a blazing sun like today, the pedestrians on the street have leaned on both sides of the eaves of the store to avoid the light, some traders even go into battle shirtless, wantonly loud yo, for fear that others will not hear, the appearance of the rough man with the back of the five big and three thick tigers is also very funny.

On the street, many young ladies from all families appeared on the street, with maids and maids holding umbrellas for them, followed by seven or eight fierce servants, looking at the vulgar and unruly stalls on both sides of the road and sneering at them, and the greasy middle-aged men also looked at the servants like eagles and dogs with disdain, and the two looked at each other with disgust.

Those noble or ordinary boudoir ladies will take a few more glances when they see Lu Jingyuan, because the brocade-clothed boy is too good-looking, a fusion of handsome and beautiful, but that person is Lu Jingyuan, the famous son-in-law brother in Yangzhou City, they can only take a few more looks, knowing that they are not worthy, besides, the beautiful woman with small cheeks and snow-white skin who has been following him is not an ordinary person, and there are a few people who can confidently compare her, I am afraid that I can't pick out a few people.

Lu Jingyuan has always disliked to carry servants and soldiers when he goes out, unless he goes far away, he will call a few guests who have good cultivation, and at this moment, Lu Jingyuan is followed by Cao Ziya.

Maybe Cao Ziya is alone, and the rest don't need it, at the critical moment, he can protect her, and she can also protect him.

The peach blossoms in the city are very vigorous, and the white and red borders one after another, and it seems that the tail cannot be found, and the soft petals fall from time to time in the air, fluttering on people's faces, confusing people's eyes, and the faint fragrance intoxicates the sense of smell of pedestrians and tourists.

"Aya'er, you see that the peach blossoms are so brilliant. Lu Jingyuan opened his mouth to speak, looking at the beautiful sea of peach blossoms with a moving face.

"Red and white, white as if it had snowed heavily, red as if coated with rouge, this rouge snow covered the city, and it felt like a little heat melted. ”

"The trees are full of delicate and red, and the ten thousand branches are scorching in spring. When it is a thousand years old, it will show the world to make chemicals. ”

"It's really a good poem, the writing of the ancients is really amazing, and they can write such a series of poems. Cao Ziya also looked at the flower clusters on the branches of the tree, and couldn't help but praise.

"I still remember that the peach blossoms have bloomed in previous years, but they are not as brilliant as this year, as if there is a sense of the last in the world, to release the last brilliance of life. Lu Jingyuan looked at it, and suddenly laughed, his smile was full of sadness and sighing, there is a kind of thing that people have nothing to do, the past year has passed, and the next year is not new helpless.

"Yes, it's hard to believe, like in a dream. Cao Ziya blinked her eyelids slowly, and the spring breeze lifted the hair around her ears, which was messy and blocked in front of her eyes, she was about to raise her hand to brush it down, and the tall and thin man in brocade in front of her had already taken the lead in cleaning up her hair bun, Lu Jingyuan bypassed, stood behind her, and gently re-tied her hair in a bun, and finally inserted the jade hosta he had sold for her a long time ago.

Lu Jingyuan stared at the old style and still very new hosta, and he rubbed it lightly with his fingers, which was very cool and delicate.

"So you've been carrying it for so long. ”

"Well, because I like it very much, I always carry it. with no going to buy a new one. ”

Cao Ziya turned around, looked at him with a quiet face, and suddenly raised his hand to pull the man's cheek, not very strong, Lu Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed, laughing very happily, like a young man.

"Let's go, I'll buy you a new one, the New Year is coming, and I need a new atmosphere, so that my son Aya is incomprehensible, and the whole world is crazy. Lu Jingyuan pouted and smiled.

"You, you, really. Cao Ziya didn't refuse, she held his hand and kept walking forward, this time she was pulling him.

Two footsteps

Walking quickly on the street, passing by the tide of pedestrians, the golden sunlight sprinkled on the body, beautiful.

Walking to a rather large and beautifully decorated jewelry store, Cao Ziya walked in first, concentrating on admiring the gold, silver and jade ornaments inlaid in the treasure box on the counter, and the tall wall cabinets one after another.

Lu Jingyuan followed closely behind her, and also looked at the place where her eyes flowed, and was very satisfied with Cao Ziya's aesthetics, it doesn't matter if it's expensive, the key is whether it's suitable or not, whether it's good or not.

In the end, Cao Ziya's eyes stopped somewhere, it was a delicate and small jade hosta, emerald green, as quiet and deep as a thousand-year-old pool, the hairpin head was carved with two dark blue butterflies, falling on the rockery and playing, the luster was moving, lifelike, Cao Ziya held it in her hand and couldn't put it down.

"Shopkeeper, I want this hairpin. Lu Jingyuan took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.

Then the shopkeeper made up some silver dollars for him, and wanted to wrap the hairpin, Lu Jingyuan waved his hand and put it on for the beautiful woman next to him, which was really in line with her temperament.

It's very beautiful.

This is the first time that Lu Jingyuan has worn a hairpin for her, and the beautiful woman closes her eyes and concentrates, she is very happy, and there is nothing more happiness in the world than this.

The shopkeeper looked at the two and suddenly said: "Son and Miss are really a perfect match, dragons and phoenixes in the world, and they will definitely be able to give birth to a good-looking child in the future." ”

Cao Ziya blushed and took Lu Jingyuan's hand and ran out shyly, ignoring the eyes of everyone in the store.

"This shopkeeper really talks a lot, and he says all kinds of things. Cao Ziya muttered, glancing back.

"In the future, you really give me a good-looking son, otherwise won't the money for this hairpin be spent in vain?" Lu Jingyuan thought about it thoughtfully, staring at her with burning eyes, he liked to play with this shy and cute girl.

"Childe, do you want to be pinched by me again, and start talking nonsense. Cao Ziya's eyes sharpened, wanting to teach him a lesson.

"Hahaha, teasing you, I'm a gentleman. Lu Jingyuan quickened his pace with a serious face, and held her by the hand, the girl was still sulking, very out of place, pouting and biased her face.

"Give me a step down, otherwise in the future, your lord's family, won't I have no right to speak at all, but I'm a man, please." Lu Jingyuan muttered quietly.

"Okay, I'll forgive you today, and I won't make an example. ”

The two walked and walked, passing by "Hanhai Mingchen", one of the three famous buildings in Yangzhou, and many people were discussing something outside the attic, and Lu Jingyuan got closer and heard some words, which turned out to be talking about Cao Ni.

"Do you know? Cao Jiaren is no longer here!" A scholar dressed in jewels shook the folding fan and frowned unhappily.

"Ah, why is that, what the hell is going on?" Many people don't know what is going on, and they are very shocked when they hear the news, you must know that this Cao Jiaren is both beautiful and artistic, she can be called the leader of Yangzhou Yiji, and she is the object sought after by many rich children, every time Cao Jiaren shows up, she will rush to the scene, and whoever dares to obstruct and move a knife with a red face is possible.

"Listening to the grapevine, it seems that he is sick, and it seems that he was ransomed and taken away by the powerful in the capital, and it seems that he eloped with a ranger. ”

Everyone, you say a word, everyone is hearsay information, many of them are made up, in order to provoke the crowd, so that the big boss in the attic dragon who does not see the end of the dragon shows up to give an explanation, otherwise he has been blocked in front of the door.

"Hey, this Cao Jiaren is gone, why are there any good-looking girls in Yangzhou in the future, hey...... How are these days going, it turns out that although Cao Jiaren doesn't show her face much, why don't you still have a hope, now...... Do not say...... Don't talk about it...... "Someone shook his head and looked gloomy, as if he had lost his parents.

"Hey, who's to say it's not? Forget it, my wife and children are still waiting for me at home, and I'm back ......"

"You spineless, you only ran in the morning

......"

It was difficult for people outside to get in, and it was difficult for people inside to get out, and some big people with heads and faces were angered by this group of skin-like pedestrians, scolding, punching and kicking, forcing a small number of people to leave in anger.

Lu Jingyuan knows the truth of this matter.

Cao Ni redeemed herself and disappeared in front of the public.

That day, Wei Xun shot at the ball, seriously injured Cao Ni, and at the last moment, Lu Jingyuan paid the pill for her, bringing her back to life, and a day later, Cao Ni specially came to thank her.

On that day, she wore a waist-length skirt that ordinary women often wear, covered her face with a hat, and cautiously entered the Lu Mansion, Lu Jingyuan was very surprised to see his dress, and when she saw Lu Jingyuan's puzzled expression, she slowly said the reason.

"Lu Gongzi, I redeemed myself, and from now on I will no longer be the Cao Jia who is popular all over Yangzhou, you can call me Cao Ni. Cao Ni silently gave a blessing, and his face was calm.

"Are you afraid that the person who made the attack will know that you are okay, and come to pursue your whereabouts in the future and kill you?" Lu Jingyuan pondered.

"Lu Gongzi is very smart, this is only one of them, and the other is the other, today I am specially here for Lu Gongzi. Cao Ni bit her crystal ruddy lips, her cheeks were flushed twice, and the scenery under the hood was thrilling for men in the world.

"For me?"

"Exactly, Cao Ni knows that Lu Gongzi is twenty years old this year, but he has not yet married a wife, so he came to say goodbye to himself today and wants to marry Lu Gongzi. ”

Cao Ni ...... You. Lu Jingyuan was flustered by these words, you must know who this Cao Ni is in front of her? It is a fairy woman who is enough to make the heroes and powerful giants of the world spend their money to beg for her beauty, but such an unattainable woman asked her for a kiss today...... Cao Jingyuan couldn't believe it.

She couldn't help but think back to Cao Ni's charming and beautiful face, and suddenly swallowed her saliva.

I'm really not human...... Why did you have such bad intentions? Lu Jingyuan couldn't wait to slap himself on the spot.

"Lu Gongzi?" Cao Ni raised his head and looked at him with a pair of phoenix eyes and fox eyes with spring water, and the man seemed to be stunned.

"What is Childe thinking?"

"I can't do it, I can't do it, this matter has to be considered in the long run...... I...... I...... I. Lu Jingyuan stammered, and couldn't say clearly.

Cao Ni froze in place, her face faintly unrecognizable under the cover of the hood, and her eyes seemed to be shining with tears.

"Cao Jiaren! No, Miss Cao Ni, you came too suddenly today, and what you said was even more sudden...... It will be ...... for a while I ......"

Cao Ni still didn't speak, and Lu Jingyuan was about to cry.

"Hahaha, Lu Gongzi, this expression is very cute?" Cao Ni suddenly laughed out loud, her voice was very crisp and moving, it turned out that she was not angry and lost just now, she was teasing him.

"Hey...... I'll just say it......" Lu Jingyuan said stupidly, and he had to be upright.

"What is Miss Cao here for today, and now that you have left the attic, what are your plans for the future?"

"Well, I will have some female workers, I will teach some books and songs, I will probably buy a remote courtyard to live a comfortable life, and I can teach young girls some art skills in my spare time. Cao Ni smiled lightly, and her demeanor was about a thousand charming.

"Well, I'll see you when I have time in the future, and if you need anything, you can't do it yourself to come to me at any time. ”

"With Gongzi's words, Cao Ni is content, so thank you Gongzi. Cao Ni gave another blessing, turned around and left the small courtyard, Lu Jingyuan looked at her back in a daze for a while, and couldn't help laughing.

Thinking of Cao Ni, Lu Jingyuan thought of the Jianghu ranger who Yu Huai saved in Bai Yu's hands a long time ago, where did that person go?

Thinking about walking, there were stone steps under his feet blocking his steps, and when he looked up, he had already walked to the door of General Song's mansion.
