My mother seemed to be particularly naggy today.
He woke her up early in the morning before the sun had even risen.
I started to do my makeup here and carefully watched my mother carefully draw her eyebrows in front of the mirror.
My mother liked moon embroidered eyebrows.
Her dark green eyebrows were like the mountains and rivers in a painting.
My mother was from the Cui family in Qinghe.
Her marriage with Aye was normal. Because of the war, Aye had not returned home for a long time. Today, she heard that he had returned victorious.
No wonder she was so impatient.
"Mother, it's still early.
Look, the Illustrious Virtue Gate has not opened yet. Aye still has to go see His Majesty. "
I rolled into my mother's arms and acted coquettishly. "Aye saw mother get up so early.
You don't know how distressed he is. " Mother smiled helplessly and poked my forehead with her fingertips. "It's you who told twelve-year-old to wait. You, Aye, are the one who is more distressed."
I chuckled.
I rubbed my forehead that had been poked.
Taking advantage of the situation, I rolled out of my mother's arms and casually inserted a velvet flower into my hair bun. If I'm not of age yet,
I can only do this.
Anyway, I'm still young.
I'm not in a hurry to wear those hairpins. Then, he reached for the table in the hall and took a few pieces of cloth.
Ignoring the oil on them, I ran away with a smile. "Mother, it's better to wait for Aye to come back and call me, hehe." The world is big, but it's not as big as a hungry person.
Mother knew my personality. She was angry at first, but then she sighed and could only let me go.
I held the piece and ate it bite by bite. Actually, so what if I ran away, I was just playing in this courtyard. Because I was too young, and Aye had not come back for so long, mother was afraid that I would cause trouble, so she did not allow me to go out casually. I heard that the Cui family's cousin had been playing polo for a long time, and I could only be trapped in this courtyard, eating my pieces and living like a fool.
Thinking about it, I actually lost my appetite.
I sighed faintly and took a few more bites as if to vent my anger. Forget it, forget it. When I grow up, I will go out casually and see what they dare to say.
Suddenly, I felt a pain in my head. When I looked carefully, it turned out to be a peach. Tsk, tsk, tsk. I don't know if the heavens hate me or what. Why did they give me such a painful blow when I was forcing myself to be sad? When I looked up, it was a young man. He was sitting on a tree branch and looking at me with a wretched smile. He looked like the foolish son of the landlord described in the stories.
I sighed. I think I know who this foolish son of the landlord is. It all started with the peach, oh, no, the tree branch. This was the peach tree that grew in the corner of my house. To be precise, it wasn't really my house. After all, it was only a single branch that stretched itself over two walls and came to my house.
I wanted to take the peach blossoms that were still blooming in spring. When the wind blew, the flowers would fall. Sister Yunxi even used it to make a few scented sachets. My deep impression of this peach tree wasn't because of the peach blossoms, but because of the peaches that grew in summer. I saw them at the end of spring. There were only a few scattered on the tree, about the size of a fingernail. I liked them as soon as I saw them. After that, I came every day to check on the peach tree. I didn't expect this peach tree to be so amazing. It actually grew so many peaches. At a glance, I could tell that it was full of fruit.
Since then, I have been coming to look at this peach tree every day. It did not disappoint me. The fruits are big, red, and fragrant. I have been drooling over that peach tree every day, hoping to eat one. That would be heaven.
I never thought that the day the peaches ripened, I would have prepared a bamboo pole to eat a few as a sacrifice. My mother brought people to harvest all the peaches. She didn't leave a single one for me and returned them all to the neighbors. She said that I shouldn't take other people's things and that I should maintain a good relationship with the neighbors. I looked up to the sky and revealed a lifeless dead fish eyes.
Then why didn't she sweep the peach blossoms and return them to the neighbors? What peach, she didn't even leave a single one for me. Hateful, I waited for a long time and didn't get to eat the peaches. Plus, I felt wronged. Thus, I didn't get along well with my mother and … cried.
This really didn't fit the appearance of a noble family's daughter. It must be especially ugly!
At that time, the neighbors also saw it. With an awkward expression, they wanted to give a few peaches to me. However, they were sternly rejected by my mother. She was probably also angry. She felt that I was really too stingy and even cried. My mother glared at me. However, I still felt wronged. Think about it, the peach that I looked at for so long flew away the day before it was about to be eaten. It really made me sad. What made me even sadder was that my mother beat me up. Thinking about the Cui Clan of Qing River, although every generation is either strategists or civil officials, but … they are also people who decided the world together with the Emperor. Adding on the fact that the current dynasty is open (bold) (bold), when my mother was not married, she was also a person who stepped into the wine tavern (dandy).
Thus, I was in trouble.
Peaches. As for the person in front of me, although I couldn't tell who he was, but thinking about it, he could be considered as my enemy. Nonsense, the only people who could live next door could only be the people from next door!
That person seemed to be puzzled as to why I was in a daze for so long. "Hey, Meng Family's wife, why are you in a daze?" I raised my head and looked at this person against the light. The light circle seemed to have coated him with a layer of golden light. Thinking about the revenge of taking the peach, I decided to ignore him. Who would have thought that this person would instead take advantage of me and say, "Could it be — — that I beat you silly? That might not be the case, even a peach wouldn't be like this right? Hey — — Meng Family's wife, Meng Family's wife. "
In a hurry, he actually jumped down, pulled me and shook me crazily. Before I could react, I was already shaken to the point where I was dizzy. I only thought that next time, I should probably ask Ah Ye to fix this a little higher. F * ck, why didn't he die from falling from such a high place.
"Stop — —!" I shouted. Taking advantage of the fact that he was in a daze, I directly jumped back and retreated at the speed of light. When I felt that I had reached a safe distance, he was stunned and wanted to come over again. I shouted loudly and pointed at him, "Stop! Stop right there. "
Then, I saw a wronged crying face, and I had the misconception that I was bullying a small animal. "What are you doing here! Why did you come to my house? Do you know what crime you are charged with? "Actually, I didn't know what crime it was, but I felt that it should be …
"You are fine?" His answer was completely irrelevant. I rolled my eyes and gave him a slap, "You, came to my house, your purpose!" It was simple and clear.
"I …" He scratched his head, "I heard that Meng Family's wife was beaten by her mother because of my peach. I, Ah Ye, feel that it is not good, this matter … I also didn't think of it, that … I came to apologize."
Oh, so after all that, he came to apologize. Although his sincerity wasn't that good, it seemed to be better than nothing.
"You came to apologize?!" I raised my voice by three degrees. "Give me my peach!" I, who had the guts to be spoiled by my family, expressed that it was quite good that there was someone who admitted to it.
He hurriedly picked up the peach on the ground, patted it, and passed it to me as if he was trying to curry favor with me while revealing a foolish smile. "Only this one?" I raised my eyebrows, giving off an aura of "if he dares to say that there is only one, I will call for people to beat him to death."
He trembled and said, "No …" I glared at him, and he could only say, "I left the rest at home, I will go get it for you next time."
"Then you can go back and get it." I said as if it was a matter of course, completely ignoring his expression of being unable to do it. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, "That …"
"No buts! Are you going or not! "I raised my head and squinted my eyes, indicating that I was in a very dangerous situation right now.
He got anxious and blurted out, "I don't have a ladder! I can't go up! I can't go back. "
… …
Ah, who asked you to jump down → _ →
However, I was also helpless, and could only think of calling someone to bring him a ladder. Reality proved that when I met the family next door, my luck would be pulled down indefinitely, including right now.
I, Ah Ye, came back, but this wasn't the main point. The main point was that when my mother called someone to call me, that's right, when that maid called out "Twelveth Mother" while panting all the way, they saw the family next door. After that, they screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
I feel that I can't escape from a mixed pair today, peaches.
Although in the end, under my, Ah Ye's, protection, I didn't get beaten by my mother, but who else could understand this kind of situation where the family next door came to call their parents when they just came back?!
It was obviously not my fault, and I didn't do anything, yet I was still smashed by a peach, and this peach even became the evidence against me.
After the parents of both sides used the fake camaraderie to take away the naughty children of both sides, I faintly heard someone calling him Yang Wulang. Yes, I remember, this person is a person from Hongnong Yang Family, this is simply too much!
… …
I didn't expect this man to be so persistent. It has been a few days since that incident, I couldn't help but sigh at the thought of the peach in my hand flying away. My mother saw it, and she even teased me, asking if I missed the young man next door.
… …
Older women always love to gossip about these trivial things, and they are determined to become professional matchmakers. It seems that the official matchmakers in Chang 'an are not as good as them, and the official matchmakers have to be invited by others.
That Yang Wulang also didn't disappoint. This time, he came to my place with a cart of peaches. He said that he came to apologize. Ah Ye saw it, and after testing his knowledge, he smiled and smoothed his beard, although his beard wasn't as long as a civil official's.
After that, he left.
Mother also smiled with a round fan covering her mouth, looked at the two of us, and then left.
I seriously doubt whether I'm my biological son.
The Wulang's face was still a little red. "I heard …" I interrupted him before he could finish. "Who told you that? What did you hear?" I rolled my eyes at him again.
"I heard from Auntie that some barbarians have come to East City recently. They have some new toys that can't be found in the Central Plains. They want to invite Lady Meng to take a look." He seemed to be a little embarrassed after he finished speaking. He lowered his head and waited for my reply.
It sounds very tempting. Go out to have fun, and see those interesting things that you have never seen before. Although I always felt that this guy was up to no good, it was inexplicably tempting. I held the round fan in my hand and hesitated.
"There are several wine shops in the East Market, and I heard that they have some delicacies from the West Market, such as golden cream, crystal dragon and phoenix cake, golden and silver flower flat cut, longevity porridge, expensive pink, dew balls, cherry billows, and grape wine. They use glass bottles, and they are delicious and beautiful," he said with a yearning look in his eyes.
I … couldn't help but say, "Then … let's go." I agreed. I originally wanted to pretend that I was a lady from a noble family. However, this guy didn't play by the rules.
"Mrs. Meng, do you agree?" He looked happy. "My servant has prepared a carriage outside, and I'm waiting for your agreement."
I suddenly felt that I had been tricked, and it was quite miserable. Also, you changed from Mrs. Meng to Mrs. Meng, and then to Mrs. Meng. But in the end, I still went out happily. =
=
Although I wanted to go out on a horse, I didn't have an official position, and there were laws in this dynasty. Riding a horse was impossible in this lifetime.
We went all the way to the East Market. Speaking of which, it was my first time here. As expected, there were many people coming and going, and it was very noisy. Not only were there Han people on the street, but there were also some strange-looking Hu people and Xiongnu people. There were also some Hu girls selling wine. I looked left and right, and I couldn't get enough of it. Along the way, I wanted to eat everything I saw. After eating the soup pancake, I still felt that it wasn't enough, so I went to buy a few more, and then a few more billows. I ate from one end of the street to the other end.
This Yang Wulang also had a good temper. Not only did he not dislike me for being noisy, but he also pulled me to tell me those interesting things. He also told me what it was, how it came, and accompanied me to see the Hu Xuan Dance.
There was food, drink, play, and even someone to accompany me. It was really a life that even an immortal wouldn't change.
But immortals didn't live often. Even the cowherd and the weaver girl could only see each other once a year. Curfew was a bad thing. Before the sky turned dark, I had to prepare to go back. Otherwise, if I was discovered by the Jinwu Guards, I wouldn't have a good ending. Although aristocratic families had special privileges, it didn't seem good to use them in such places. If word got out, people would laugh their heads off.
I reluctantly stood in front of the door and asked him, "Are you still coming tomorrow?" He smiled lightly, "Probably not …"
"Why?" I frowned and looked at him with a smile, "Because I have to go back and make up for today's homework. If my Ah Ye sees that my homework is blank, he will beat me to death."
Hearing that his homework was blank, I couldn't help but laugh. "Then it seems that I am living a better life than you. Although I also have homework that Ah Ye assigned, I can choose not to do it. Furthermore, I have done it every single time. "After laughing, I suddenly realized that I had said something wrong. After all, he didn't do his homework because of me.
He rubbed my head, "Then I will come and look for Twelve-Year-Old Lady seven days later. I will bring you to the outskirts for horseback riding." This kind of coaxing tone of a three year old child, only a ghost would believe it! But for some reason, he still said, "It's a promise!" After saying that, he even nodded his head, indicating that he attached great importance to this matter.
Only when I turned around did I realize that this fellow's way of addressing me was getting more and more overboard. Right now, it had already become Twelve-Year-Old Lady. Also, he still relied on the fact that he was taller than me and rubbed my head! Overboard! I will definitely grow taller.
I secretly cheered myself on, waiting to go back and ask Ah Ye to get me some milk. I heard those Hu people say that milk can make people grow taller, that is why they are tall and big. Thinking about it, even if I can't be compared to those Hu women, I will definitely be tall. Just look at me, Ah Ye, and you will know.
In reality, only after I went back, did I know what it meant to be completely disheartened. That Yang Wulang gave me a cart full of peaches, thus mother looked at me with a smile that was not a smile, and insisted that I finish all of them myself. Thus, for the past few days, I ate two peaches a day, and I also ate peach juice and even peach rice … Every time I heard the word peach, I would feel like vomiting.
Peaches, as expected, I shouldn't have believed this kind of animal's apology.
7 days later, I was restless at home, I didn't even want to lie on the bed, I clearly love this kind of salted fish the most. The people around me tactfully kept quiet, until someone passed a message saying that Yang Wulang, who lived next door, came. Only then did I let out a long breath, and hurriedly looked at my appearance this morning to see if there was anything wrong with it.
Seeing him again, I felt that something was different in my heart. He also fixed his gaze on me, and for a long time, until my face became redder and redder. Only then did he smile and said, "Today, I invited Twelfth Niang to go horse riding in the suburbs, Twelfth Niang's big sleeved dress doesn't seem to be suitable for … going out." “
He said it tactfully, and my face couldn't help but explode. I wished I could dig a hole and bury myself in it. I nodded and said, "En."
I turned around and went back to my room to change into a round neck robe. After thinking for a while, I put on a hat, afraid that the dust from the horse's hooves would get into my eyes. Only then did I go out with him. Just thinking about it deeply, I remembered the awkwardness just now, and even the atmosphere was awkward.
Until we arrived at the suburbs, we saw a huge horse farm, or rather, a group of young masters or langjuns who were also riding horses. Only then did the awkwardness lessen a bit, and I wanted to go down and ride a horse. Yang Wulang pulled me down, and accompanied me to choose a horse.
The most awkward thing happened … that … I don't seem to know how to ride a horse …
I stood in front of the horse, and didn't dare to move at all. Biting my lips, I only felt that I was extremely awkward right now. Seeing this, Yang Wulang didn't say anything, he just blew a whistle, and the horse came down from the ground. He took the horse's rope and said, "I will hold the horse for you, don't be afraid."
Speaking of which, it was strange, I actually really wasn't afraid. Riding the horse, I slowly walked two steps. Seeing the young ladies from other families galloping on their horses, I also felt a bit itchy. Squeezing the horse's belly, I casually pulled, "Go!" The horse started to gallop quickly. Behind me, Yang Wulang was very anxious, but as if he thought of something, he pulled another horse and rode on it, chasing after me.
As for me, a newbie, I actually started to gallop very boldly. I only felt that the wind beside my ear was so refreshing. This kind of feeling of freedom was something that I had never felt at home before. No wonder Cousin Cui loves to ride horses, so it was because of this.
As the saying goes, it is completely impossible to row a boat without relying on the oar and only relying on the waves. This sentence also applies to me. Just at the moment when I was about to fall off the horse, I was caught by Yang Wulang's hand, and one of his hand was carried behind my back.
Behind me, there was a burst of cold sweat, and I was still in shock. Alas, I probably have no chance to live such a free life in this life. He turned around to look at me, a little angry, but soon he was amused by my overly frightened face. He could only say helplessly, "You …"
The ride on the horse passed by in a hurry. When it was time to leave again, I felt as if I was a little reluctant to part with him. I pulled his sleeve, not knowing what I was thinking, "Alas, you are leaving again."
There was a strange look in his eyes, "Yes."
"Will you still come tomorrow?"
He shook his head. I was dazed, and lowered my head. What he said was true. He was not my family, so he naturally couldn't do whatever he wanted. I didn't know what he thought of, but his eyes were full of determination.
"I am from the Yang family of Hong Nong, Fifth Xing. My name is Huaiyi, and I haven't had a name yet. I am 17 years old. "The sudden self-introduction interrupted my thoughts. Such a formal idea made me a little confused.
"Can I marry Twelfth Niang?"
Hey, hey, hey! This person said something, and in a daze, I nodded.
When I realized what I had done, he had already left for a long time, and even his back disappeared into the next door.
